Following Seria's shout, Anu and Aiden also turned around.
The monster just happened to rush towards the three of them...
It was moving very fast, and wherever it went, it would directly take other soldiers running around with it. Its expansion speed continued to increase with the number of soldiers it devoured, because the bigger it became, the bigger its arm became.
At the beginning, it was only a few meters tall, but now it is almost ten meters tall.
Two slender, deformed, and twisted arms were like a wall, with both hands stretched out wide. Dozens of soldiers couldn't even run away as they were forcibly pushed into the bulge of flesh under the monster's belly...
He took another sip, and the cheerful sound was a little harsh.
But gradually it actually started to sound a bit like a human voice!
Even the tones began to become understandable.
The attacks of those soldiers were completely useless... a knife strike, a magic cast, but they couldn't hurt the opponent at all.
The monster's flesh is as hard as steel, and even if a part of it is penetrated by magic or artillery, it can recover quickly.
Gradually, the soldiers discovered that this was not a monster that could be defeated head-on!
"Save me, just me..."
The soldier caught by the monster's arm was dragged away without even having the chance to fight back. He barely grabbed the soldier next to him, but the other party struggled frantically and let him be dragged away.
The most important thing right now is to stay alive... The noble coalition forces are not a single group to begin with, so they don't have the time to care about other people's troops, as long as it's not their own.
Seeing the monster quickly approaching, Anu ordered the captain of the guard beside him to stop it. "Stop it, at least buy us some time!"
It was almost impossible to stop them, the only thing he could do was to sacrifice his own army to save his own. These subordinates had fought with him through thick and thin, and were loyal to him. As long as he gave the order, they would be ready to die.
“Please!”
"I understand, Your Excellency." The captain of the guard looked at Anu seriously and said, "Then we will entrust our family to your care."
"As long as I am alive, they will always be my, Anu's, children!" Anu said affirmatively.
The captain of the guard nodded.
He stopped and turned around with his soldiers.
"Brothers, the time has come to test your loyalty. Follow me and charge... and kill..."
The sound disappeared before even a minute had passed. Anu could only grit his teeth and rush forward, not daring to stop.
At this moment, Anu felt a hand silently grabbing his arm...
Seria looked over here, without saying a word but with gratitude in her eyes.
She was also tired and could hardly run anymore!
"Anu, they are still rushing towards this side... Quickly tell your people to distract them again and attract their attention, otherwise we and Princess Seria will not be able to escape." Aiden on the other side was almost unable to run anymore. As a noble, he rarely participated in such intense long-distance running.
In addition, my body was already weak, and I felt pain in my abdomen after running a few steps.
"Useless! Why don't you let your soldiers go? Do my soldiers deserve to die?"
Marquis Annu was furious at the moment because he had just lost several loyal subordinates. Anyone who provoked him would be asking for trouble.
"you……"
Aiden didn't know what to say.
But there were no other noble children around to speak for him.
Everyone ran in other directions the moment the monster rushed over, except for Marquis Annu and I who stayed beside the princess... Speaking of which, the monster seemed to know who the mastermind was, and it actually rushed straight over here.
"It, he's coming again. Master!"
Said one of Aiden's retainers.
Glancing back a bit...
I almost fell down with fright. The thing had just been stopped for a moment, and now it was following me more than ten meters behind me. The slender hand stretched out and almost grabbed me!
"Princess, Your Highness. I'll go and lure it away... You have to be good... Believe me, I'll always be on your side." After Aiden finished speaking, he ran somewhere else before Seria could react.
However, it was not the location behind him, but he ran towards the other side where he was not being chased by monsters.
"Ai..."
"Don't stop." Seria was about to shout but was stopped by Annu beside her.
"It was right for him to escape. Instead of having so many noble sons die in Kesha City, it is better to have one more person go back. This way, at least we can ensure that the empire will not be in chaos in the future." Anu said.
Pulling Seria, I couldn't run anymore!
At this moment, it seemed as if my mind recalled that many years ago, the two of them were also running hand in hand in the palace.
I was about seven or eight years old at that time...
She would run around the imperial city every day, and have the royal guards she found chase her, imagining that they were the evil enemies in the story, and that the knight would save the princess and they would escape together.
The speed was not fast and they fell many times, but both of them were very happy!
The words "Follow me" seemed to be right next to my ears, as if they were the lines performed by the two of them.
And now...
Anu looked at Seria holding his hand. It was still the same hand, but it had changed from the little hand from more than ten years ago to the hand of an adult girl.
"Seriya..."
"Don't talk!" Before he could even finish his words, he heard the other party's angry retort, but this time there was an obvious tremor in his voice.
"Follow me, I can still hold on!"
The same conversation seemed to bring Annu back to the scene of more than ten years ago, making people's chest tremble.
"Listen to me, Seriya..."
"Don't talk!" She almost cried.
"Listen to me carefully, Seriya!" Anu shouted again.
Because I could clearly feel that the other person's pace was slowing down, the sweat on her forehead and her flushed face showed that she could no longer run.
"I'm glad you came, and I'm glad you thought of me during such a difficult time. Actually, for so many years, I haven't dared to face my own cowardice. I haven't dared to fulfill my promise. I hate myself for being so weak and unable to protect you..."
"Stop it, Anu!"
"Heh~ If it weren't for this moment, you might not have heard me say these words... Well, now at least I can still keep my promise. You keep running forward, and I'll find a way to hold that guy back."
"no!"
"You should know that we can't run away like this, but it's much better for you to be alive than for me to be alive. Don't be willful... You should understand the interests involved." Anu said as he broke free from Seria's hand and stopped where he was.
"Go!"
"Anu..."
At this moment, a wizard's spell was quickly recited in everyone's ears.
soon,
A huge magic circle was quickly drawn behind the two of them.
Lucille jumped directly behind the two of them and cast a spell that pushed the monster back dozens of meters away!
