Chapter 1: War on the Western Front
As the sun sets, the army and horses scatter in the forest.
"The Three Princess, the retreat has been blocked, he is from the Second Army."
The adjutant's tone was quick, "If you go deeper, it will be the monster's nest."
There is a monster in front and a pursuer behind. I am afraid there is no worse situation than this. Although the dense forest provides them with temporary shelter, it is a matter of time before they are blocked in the monster's nest.
He could even hear the griffin skimming down the sky, which meant that the Second Army had invested a lot in capturing the Three Kings' daughter alive.
Thinking of this, the adjutant finally made up his mind, took a deep breath, and said, "At present, we can only introduce the enemy into the monster nest. Three Kings Girl, find a small path to evacuate as soon as possible!"
He knew very well the reason why the other party wanted to capture the Three Princes alive. The war in the Western Fortress lasted for several months. Under the battlefield like a meat grinder, almost all the troops on the Western Front were lost in the battle to defend the city. Due to the delay in getting the support of the royal capital, the Three Princes finally had to lead the remnants to withdraw back to the capital.
The war has reached its present point, and the Three Kings is the last hope of the kingdom people. Once she falls into the hands of the enemy, the morale of the kingdom army will be completely destroyed, and their enemies will probably be able to flatten the capital in less than a few months.
Although the same situation happened once more than a decade ago, their enemies this time were much crueler than they were at the time.
Every time a city is captured, they will commit heinous evil deeds to the local residents and prisoners. The Second Army is the most notorious unit. As the adjutant of the Three Princes, he can almost imagine what happened to the Three Princes after they fell into the hands of the enemy.
Their only chance at the moment is to use the monsters in the forest to hold back the main force of the Second Army and gain enough time for the third princes to evacuate, even if they will sacrifice their lives for it.
"Stop talking nonsense and keep moving forward."
The three princesses looked straight and immediately rejected the suggestions put forward by the adjutant.
Her attention was placed on the tail that followed them all the way, and the humanoids who were traveling through the woods must have been the scouts of the Second Army.
The monster's nest is getting closer and closer.
And when they were about to rush into the nest with all their might, a net made of sharp blades blocked the horse's hooves. At almost the same time, those scouts who looked like humans and snakes attacked at the same time, and a round of riding and shooting, and the overwhelming rain of arrows tilted down.
The blade is unsheathed.
The knights only saw a white flash, and the sharp blade blocking their way forward was cut into several pieces. The falling rain of arrows changed the trajectory, and the falling rain was accompanied by the blood rain with the broken arm in front.
The silver-white armor that had been stained with blood was stained with new blood stains, but the third prince's face turned paler.
After the Western Fortress was captured, they had not rested for nearly three days and three nights. The scouts of the Second Army pursued them relentlessly. Her physical strength was almost at its limit, and her mind became more and more drowsy. It seemed that as long as she closed her eyes, she would fall asleep to death.
But she knew very well that these three days were just the beginning of escape.
Even if she could escape from the encirclement of the Second Army by chance, it would take more than half a month to return to the capital from here. Moreover, since the Second Army and the Third Army started war with them on the Western Front, she had a vague premonition in her heart.
The letters she sent back were never responded to, and the reinforcements had not arrived until the day when the fortress was breached, which made her suspect that her father had not actually planned to send troops to support them from the beginning.
Something must have happened in the royal capital.
My father and the generals of the kingdom should know the importance of the Western Front to the entire battle situation. Once the enemy breaks through the Western Front, if the natural danger is lost, at least two-thirds of the cities in the entire kingdom will be in a state of almost unpreparedness.
You must never fall here, you must figure out what happened to the king!
The third princess bit his lips and forced the indelible sleepiness.
However, before she faced the advance troops of the Second Army, there was another important thing she needed to complete.
“Armour.”
The knights turned over and dismounted as soon as they got the order. The monsters in the cave were their last reliance. If they could use the power of the monsters to destroy the advance troops of the Second Army, they could gain a hard-won time. If they wanted to return to the capital, they had to race against time.
"Three Princess, leave it to us here, you can rest first." said the adjutant.
The Three Kings Girls are not only the leader of the Western Fortress, but also the favorite disciple of the former Sword Saint. Rather than saying that they protected the Three Kings Girls, it is not that the Three Kings Girls escorted them all the way here.
However, the next enemy is different from those assassins.
The commander of the Second Army and the same school as the Three Kings' Female Division, their ambushes who were staying everywhere could not slow down the other party.
"Um."
The third princess did not refuse, she nodded and sat down leaning against the stone wall.
She had heard of the commander of the Second Army more than once when she was on the battlefield. Although the other party was her nominal senior brother, she had never met before.
Whenever I think of this senior brother, those unhappy memories keep coming to my heart.
His existence proved that his teacher was a spy sent by the hostile tribe, but she once drove the adventurer who had warned her out of the city in anger.
The Three Kings closed their eyes gently and no longer thought about those unpleasant memories.
She was unable to fulfill the promise she had made with the other party on the city wall, nor could she apologize to the other party in person, because according to rumors, the man suffered fatal injuries after fighting with the warden in the Underwater Prison and died shortly after returning to the village.
Soon, she heard a footstep and stopped in front of her. The visitor seemed to be careful to avoid making too loud noises.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the sword drawing was drawn.
The luck is gone.
The third princess slowly opened her eyes. She watched the grin on the other person's face gradually being replaced by panic. The knight sword he held tightly in his hand was broken into two pieces.
The sound of the blade falling to the ground immediately attracted the attention of people around them. They drew their swords as soon as possible and surrounded the assassins.
The conjecture came true.
However, the three princesses were not happy at all, because the person who drew the sword from her had been following her for more than ten years, and during this period they participated in countless battles together.
"It's you!"
The adjutant also looked at the man who drew his sword to the Three Kings Girl with incredible eyes.
"Since you've been discovered, there's nothing you can do."
The panic on the man's face soon disappeared. He grinned, and the skin on his face fell off bit by bit like melting liquid. The knights had never seen such a scene before. They stood there in a daze. Before they could react, the monster suddenly threw a smoke bomb into the ground and rushed to the knight closest to him.
White flashes.
