"Scatter quickly and disperse the attack!"
The fierce artillery fire echoed on the night seashore.
At this moment, people several kilometers away could probably hear it... and Lucille, who was following the team, of course heard it too.
The sound of gunfire?
Lucille looked at the reinforcements rushing over. They were also carrying artillery and other heavy weapons, and many were carrying combat weapons on horse-drawn carts. It was precisely because of the heavy weapons and equipment that they were moving slower.
It seems that the artillery fire has nothing to do with them... So it must be the people in front?
Lucille had heard some of the deployment plan led by Seria when she was at the Marquis's residence, but she hadn't listened to the specific implementation methods because they were discussed behind closed doors. Of course, part of the reason was that she had no interest in these plans and couldn't understand them anyway.
The consequence and price of possessing extraordinary magical talent is that Lucille doesn't care much about other convenient things, mainly because she doesn't fully understand them...
Back then, his mentor, Sean, had repeatedly stressed that as long as he focused on magic, everything in the world was relatively balanced, and if he gained one part, he would lose another. Lucille wasn't even interested in alchemy, let alone other areas of knowledge.
At the moment, we can only see that they may have deployed artillery in the coastal villages, and the sound should come from that direction.
The deafening roar of the artillery fire also urged the reinforcements still on their way to speed up their pace...
"Hurry up, the Marquis should have encountered the enemy. Speed up and run!" shouted the general in front of the team.
A dark shadow flashed by.
No one noticed among so many people...Lucille just walked to the front of the team.
Reinforcements were also sent in batches. It can be seen that Marquis Anu Kobila is quite powerful and is comparable to Sean in allocation and deployment.
No wonder he was able to turn his status from a bastard into an heir. The story behind this could probably become a story!
Lucille arrived in the southeastern region half a month before Princess Seria arrived. Her original plan was to go to her hometown in the east, but later she heard from the intelligence network that the so-called ghost incident might not be the same as the rumors, or even very different. There were no souls of deceased relatives, and more evidence showed that it was more like some unknown strange species!
After receiving the news of the investigation, Lucille did not move forward...
It happened that on the second day of her stay, she heard the news that a ghost incident had occurred in the area, so she simply decided to stay here to investigate the situation. After all, in all the reports, there was no place where such incidents had occurred twice in a row.
Even if we dare to go to the east now, it will be useless. It is better to stay here and see how the situation develops.
That's why Lucille disguised herself and sneaked into the Marquis's mansion to inquire about the news. Unexpectedly, he really showed up this time.
She quickly rushed to the coastline...
The fog became particularly severe near the seaside. There was fog a few meters away, and it was impossible to see the situation in the distance clearly.
And as they approached the beach, they could hear the sounds of fighting, as well as the screams of many soldiers mixed with the noise of artillery and muskets.
At this moment, in the mist, a strange, emerald green creature that looked like a crouching spider swiftly shuttled among the soldiers, harvesting...
Not killing, but 'eliminating' the soldiers with a strange devouring method.
Lucille jumped onto the roof of a slightly higher house in surprise and found that she was already on the battlefield, but no one noticed her in the chaos of the night. The monster that was moving among the soldiers was constantly attacked by the soldiers and wizards, and even the muskets and artillery could not repel it.
Only the power of the artillery could make it retreat a few steps, but when it ran into the crowd, the artillery dared not fire.
Almost all the soldiers dispersed and attacked from different directions, but still caused little damage...
What is that thing!
Lucille looked at the chaotic beach and saw everyone retreating in all directions, but the little princess was nowhere to be seen!
……………………
During the battle, Seria retreated nervously, surrounded by Marquis Anu, Aiden and several other noble young masters.
"Hurry up, Seriya. We can't stay here..."
The other party is the eldest princess of the empire, and also the princess he once valued the most. Even if Anu has to spend all his family fortune, he will protect Seria and let her leave.
"Don't be stupid, hurry up!"
Seria seemed to be frightened by the monster in front of her, and was panicked for a moment!
In fact, not only her, but even the nobles who were traveling with her had never seen such a terrifying creature. It was not a creature at all, but a monster.
"Where...where are the others?" Seria struggled to stand up and ran back. She almost fell down because her legs were weak, and she was still being held up by Anu.
"Don't worry about it now. We are all struggling to protect ourselves and can't take care of them!"
"No! I brought them here, I must take them back... otherwise no one will believe me in the future." Seria retorted.
The crowd was so chaotic that even if I looked back, I couldn't find the other nobles.
The moment the monster pounced, the army of thousands of people was instantly in chaos. Even though these were well-trained troops, they were useless in the face of such a monster.
arms,
It seems to have no effect on it.
A large gash would appear in the swollen part of its abdomen, and its stomach would appear empty, but with a mass of swollen flesh bulging out in the center, like a sticky ball... The moment it pounced, all the approaching soldiers would be entangled by the swollen flesh and absorbed into it.
The soldiers' struggling limbs could be seen squirming continuously, but the sounds they made became smaller and smaller, until they were completely sunk into the bulging mass of flesh.
"There's no time to talk about this now. Let's go, Seria." Aiden on the side didn't bother to say so much. He also pulled Seria to the outside, asking the surrounding soldiers to make way while running.
"Get out of the way, everyone!"
But right now, except for his own private soldiers, no one else listens to him.
And in such a chaotic situation, no one can control anyone else!
Seria wanted to refute, but her voice seemed too weak.
The monster wasn't afraid of any attacks at all, so there were no use for so many people, and it seemed that the thing would grow bigger after devouring the soldiers!
She turned around and looked at the situation behind her...
The tall green body walked like a spider and was coming towards this side quickly.
"It, it's coming!"
