After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"Oh……"

"But we'll find out soon enough. Come along with me."

"Ah."

The pink-haired sisters supported each other as they walked step by step into the depths of darkness.

……

------------------------

……

at the same time……

On the outskirts of Solania, atop high-rise buildings.

"Oops!"

Lonnies was caught off guard and was struck by an arrow.

Although it wasn't a vital area, just a piece of flesh was sliced ​​off her arm... even so, Lonnie still gasped in pain.

(Ouch! The battlefield is indeed a cruel place. But... this injury is nothing compared to Elusia's training.)

Lonnie gritted her teeth, and under her watchful gaze, the wound on her left arm began to heal at a visible pace.

In the distance, countless surging demons were gradually attacking the city through a gap in the tunnel.

……

"Ouch!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Countless heavy feet pounded on the ground, producing extremely loud noises... The first to rush into the city were creatures called orcs, who were much larger than ordinary humans.

The largest of these orcs, the giant, weighs nearly a ton.

If struck head-on by such a heavy monster, even the bravest man would be sent flying. Therefore, the soldiers used standard-issue muskets to face the orcs who were leading the vanguard.

"Dangdang!"

With a series of gunshots, sharp bullets pierced the air and shot straight toward the orcs.

Logically speaking, under the influence of modern standard weapons, no living being can stop the firing of large-caliber bullets... Sharp bullets can not only penetrate steel plates, but also shatter flesh into fragments.

however……

However, bullets have a fatal flaw.

It has low kinetic energy (a bullet has a few hundred joules) and will break when it comes into contact with water.

Therefore, under the influence of the demonic shield spell, although the bullets from the soldiers eventually hit the orcs, most of them lost their lethality and could not cause fatal damage to these savage orcs.

"Kill these humans!"

"Charge!"

The bullets, which were like tickles, could not stop the orcs from advancing; on the contrary, they fueled their fighting spirit.

They charged forward with overwhelming force, seemingly wanting to crush people completely with their weapons.

but……

The soldiers of the Mingjin Kingdom cleverly changed their attack methods.

"Magic Crystal Bullets, fire!"

"First team, fire!"

The soldiers changed their bullets, replacing the pointed bullets used for armor penetration with explosive bullets carrying magic crystal fuses.

In this way, although the initial velocity of the bullet is greatly reduced, it can still deliver a non-kinetic attack to the orcs by detonating the magic crystal.

And the results became exceptionally clear.

"Ah, ahh!"

"It's a thunder crystal!"

Countless bolts of lightning, mixed with sparks, appeared among the demon army. The orcs who charged forward first could not withstand such a fierce attack and fell down one after another.

At this moment, this small gap in the royal city wall became a deadly trap. The orcs who had already rushed in could not retreat, while the orcs outside could not rush in. The soldiers of the Mingjin Kingdom were trapped like turtles in a jar, continuously firing with dense, intersecting firepower.

"Was it successful?"

Lornish was overjoyed. If things continued like this, the thousands of orcs who had already stormed into the city would become sitting ducks.

but……

"No...not yet!"

Before the joy could linger on her cheeks for even a moment, Lonnie noticed something amiss.

Orcs continued to charge in through the breach.

However, their skin color was no longer the red or green of before... but a shadowy black.

Even from a great distance, you could feel that ominous aura.

And this group of orcs is...

"Watch out, everyone! The demonized orcs who have consumed the fragments of the Otherworld have appeared! Unleash a barrage of fire and stop them!"

Chapter 71 The Battle of Solania (Part 2)

Although the defenders of Solania were already wary of the demonized troops.

However, the power these ferocious-looking monsters displayed on the battlefield still exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Retreat immediately, they're charging!"

"How is that possible? Don't these guys feel pain?"

……

Neither the explosive bullets carrying magic crystals nor the large-caliber crossbow bolts could have any effect on these monsters.

They were like super-heavy flesh and blood tanks, trampling the earth and gradually pushing forward... Before long, they broke through the crossfire and rushed into the first line of defense.

"careful!"

"Uh?"

The man dodged with all his might, managing to dodge the giant orc's flying axe.

But at the same time, he also fell into the trench... The broken hilt of the sword was stuck in his thigh, causing bright red blood to flow out continuously.

"Ah, ahh!"

The tendon seemed to have ruptured, and the intense pain caused the man to break out in a cold sweat.

"Don't worry about me, retreat quickly."

The first line of defense had fallen, and the officers had given the order to retreat... but the man knew that it was impossible for him to retreat.

With injuries like these, let alone walking, even crawling would be difficult. If I were to seek help myself, then the others...

Their companions will also be affected, torn to pieces by the orcs.

So the man gritted his teeth, preparing to pull out the grenade he carried and perish together with these orcs.

but……

"Uncle, don't go to your death."

"Uh?"

A young girl ran straight over and carried the man on her back.

Although she was relatively petite, she possessed extraordinary strength, and the indomitable courage of a warrior resonated in her eyes.

……

……

The girl was, of course, Luo Zhisheng.

During the retreat, Luo Zhisheng had targeted a mutated orc's weakness, intending to kill it with a single blow.

But at that very moment... the uncle who had warned him was injured.

Therefore,

Luo Zhisheng then faced a choice: kill the invincible demonized beastman in front of him, or save the injured uncle.

From a strategic perspective, killing an important enemy is far better than saving an ordinary soldier.

Although these dark-skinned orcs are terrifying, there are only about 100 of them. If they are all wiped out, this defensive battle will be a major success.

As for ordinary soldiers like the uncle, there are tens of thousands of them on the first line of defense alone. Adding or losing one more or one less will not affect the course of the battle.

however……

……

"You, you... what are you doing? Put me down!"

"Uncle, you must go back alive. Your daughter is still waiting for you."

"..."

"Never give up, that's what you told me."

……

“No, those guys have already broken in. Without my reconnaissance, the reconnaissance team won’t be able to see the relative positions of the catapults.”
