Chapter 267: "Game Life"

The kingdom of Ostersebo, on the walls of the royal city.

Hugh Dilcha, the "knight princess", was dressed in full armor and held a long sword, and while patrolling the various fortifications, he couldn't help but look at the countless monsters under the city, and his face couldn't help but be filled with a deep sense of worry.

Since the death of Giuseppe Castilla in the battle of the "Demon King", the situation in various parts of the "world" has gradually deteriorated, and now, even a large country with a castle such as "Ostersebo" is besieged and difficult to support, and it is difficult to imagine what will happen to those small countries with only wooden fences.

"But I've worked hard to level up until now, and I'm only level 12, which is still very far from the level 25 of the 'brave' at the beginning...... But I'm already the highest-level combat power in the kingdom......

"And among the monsters below, there are at least three of them of the same level as me, and even one of them is higher than me...... If it weren't for the city walls, without the soldiers sacrificing their lives to cooperate, the castle would have been breached long ago.

"Even so, we abandoned the town under the castle...... But after the inhabitants retreated into the castle, the daily consumption of food was very huge, and if it continued like this, it would not be able to support it for another five days at most.

However, the knight who went to the neighboring country to ask for help did not know whether to rush out or not......

"I'm afraid that the situation in neighboring countries is not optimistic!"

Hugh Dilcha, the "knight princess," stopped as soon as he muttered a few words, and suddenly a little doubt arose in his heart: Why did I say those words just now? It's like explaining the background of the story, or telling it to someone......

But these doubts disappeared from her mind, and Hugh Dilcha became worried again.

After ten minutes, the sun's rays gradually faded, and the dark night hung over the sky.

This was supposed to be the time to go home and rest, but the "knight princess" and the soldiers couldn't help but get nervous.

Because night is when the monsters are at their strongest, they tend to attack after the sun sets.

Sure enough, when the last rays of the setting sun were also obscured by the night, the desolate horn sounded, and a large number of strangely shaped monsters emerged from the collapsed buildings and attacked the city walls.

Although most of the monsters are only three or four levels, and there are even some cannon fodder of one or two levels, and the elite soldiers on this side of the kingdom have generally reached level five or above, the number of opponents is too much, and if the durability of the city wall falls off before sunrise, the human side will soon be overwhelmed by countless monsters.

Therefore, trying to snipe and kill monsters with high level and great damage to the city wall has become the primary goal of the kingdom's defensive forces.

"On the left side of the West Gate, there is a seventh-level slinging troll, the bed crossbow team is ready, shoot!"

"In front of the right side of the north gate, three fifth-level piercing demons, trebuchets concentrate their firepower."

"Directly in front of the south gate, there is a spell-casting unit that is preparing, let the adventurer team go down to the city to snipe, I'll open the way!"

After discovering the spell breath, the "Knight Princess" immediately gave the order to attack, and at the same time, she also jumped off the city wall with a long sword, and then concentrated her strength, wielded the long sword, and emitted a ten-meter-long flame "sword qi", emptying more than half of the monster in front of the opponent's "spell casting unit".

Immediately afterward, a group of adventurers with an average level of 8 quickly followed, killing the enemy "spellcaster" before it could complete its preparations.

Seeing the overwhelming monsters once again, Hugh Dilcha broke his sword and quickly returned to the back of the city walls.

This tactic has been used many times before, so the princess and the adventurer have a very tacit understanding, just wait for Hugh Dilcha's "Flaming Sword" skill cooldown period to end, and then use the cover of this "clear soldier" ability to return safely.

But just when the ten-meter flame "sword qi" was sent out again, and Hugh was about to jump back to the city wall, an accident happened, and a strange bird with a level of 15 appeared out of nowhere, and grabbed Hugh's armor at a very fast speed, throwing her back into the group of monsters under the city.

"Your Highness the Princess!"

"Knight Princess!"

Frightened by this, the soldiers and adventurers hurriedly used bows and arrows and spells to drive away the strange bird, and shot at the monsters below to fight for the princess's life.

But this was obviously of little use, because these soldiers and adventurers who were less than level 10 couldn't even break through the bird's defenses.

Seeing that she was about to fall into the group of monsters, Hugh calmed down instead, although the skill was still in the cooldown period, but the passive effects and basic skills brought by her own level 12 were not something that ordinary monsters could resist.

Suffice it to say, before the durability of the armor on her body is gone, monsters below level 10 will not want to break through her defenses.

But Hugh had apparently overlooked a problem, the moment the strange bird grabbed her just now had made her armor last long!

Therefore, the "Knight Princess" who fell into the group of monsters only took a few heavy blows in the encirclement, and her armor suddenly shattered into pieces, revealing the palace dress she was wearing inside.

"How so?" Hugh Dilcha's heart suddenly despaired, because she knew that without the protection of her armor, no matter how powerful she was, she would never be able to break out of the monster's encirclement...... What's more, those guys of the same level as themselves are rapidly approaching.

Do you want to be killed, or captured alive and then be in that situation where life is worse than death? Hugh bit his lip, and after swinging his sword and slashing the monster that tried to sneak attack, he made a decision in his heart: I will fight until I die! Even killing one more monster would be good!

But just as the soldiers and adventurers on the city wall screamed sadly, and the "Knight Princess" was about to come to an end, a figure suddenly "flashed" to her side, and then with a slight wave of her hand, countless sword lights stabbed out from the monsters' bodies, killing in an instant, even the level 15 strange bird was no exception!

In an instant, the battlefield that was still killing was silent, leaving only the stunned soldiers and adventurers snorting "cool air", and the "knight princess" exclaimed in disbelief:

"You...... Are you the new 'Brave' adult? ”

After saying that, she couldn't help but grab the arm of the man in front of her who was dressed "strangely".

But the "brave" in her eyes glanced at her strangely a few times, then stretched out his right hand and flicked his finger on her forehead.

Hugh Dilcha was stunned for a long time after receiving this blow, and when her eyes became clear again, she suddenly showed a look of shame, and she muttered uncomfortably:

"This is what you call the 'world' behind the 'door'?

"Why did you arrange such a role for me!"

Abner pinched his chin and replied playfully, "As far as I know, the arrangement of characters in this 'world' is based on the subconscious......

"That is, Hugh, you really want to be a princess, don't you?

"It's still like a princess in a 'fairy tale' story."

Hugh, who was exposed to his thoughts, didn't refute it, who doesn't have a "princess dream"? She pursed her lips and changed the subject stiffly: "Then what identity was arranged after you came in?" ”

"You don't know?" Abner's face turned strange again.

"Why should I know?" Hugh was a little baffled.

"Ah...... It's nothing, because I got rid of the so-called 'destiny' given to me by this world as soon as I came in, so I don't have any identity now. Abner replied with a smile.

This is the truth, he does not have an "identity" "now", but when he first came in, he was a "playboy" character, and it is rumored that he has an ambiguous relationship with the "knight princess".

The "destiny" of this "world" is really unreliable...... Well, it's said that the "world" has lifted it, and the total area is only about two-thirds of that of Beckland, and any country with a stone castle is considered a superpower......

Hugh naturally didn't believe it, but she didn't bother to ask any more questions, after all, everything here was false, she looked around the battlefield full of corpses, and while beckoning to the soldiers on the city wall to open the city gates, she asked: "What about the 'Iceberg Lieutenant General'?" Where is she now?

"Also, after I recovered my memory, why didn't my extraordinary ability recover with it?"

"Because the 'rules' of this 'world' are laid down by the 'Hand of Order' in the 'Ghost Empire', there is no angelic person, and its rules must be followed.

"And I'm special...... You know......"

Speaking of this, Abner paused, then changed the subject,

"As for Adevina...... The reason why I almost didn't make it to your fight here is because I didn't think she was right in the right person......

"She is neither a 'teacher', nor a 'bachelor', nor a 'sage'.

"If it weren't for the cognitive bias of this 'world' towards her, then it means that the true yearning in her heart may have been beyond my expectations."

So, you can come here so quickly, because you already know that I want to be a "princess"? Hugh pursed his lips again, not knowing whether to be happy or depressed.

It's a good thing for friends to understand themselves, but it's still a little shameful to even expose their own careful thoughts.
