Princess Alicia frowned and quickly sat down beside the bed, her face full of surprise.
"Basically, they were all taken care of by those mercenaries. Plus, those mercenaries were very familiar with the terrain of the First Fortress, so they suffered such a huge loss."
The red-haired knight girl also lowered her head, not daring to look at Her Royal Highness the Princess, and felt extremely embarrassed.
"I understand. Let all the knights gather together and we will stop the attacks of the demons and mercenaries together."
Princess Alicia also felt a lot of pressure. The enemies before her included not only ordinary mercenaries, but also powerful demons.
If this battle is not handled properly, the entire First Fortress may fall, and then no one will be able to rescue them.
Princess Alicia has a good combat IQ. As a famous princess knight, she has repelled many attacks from the demons. However, with the addition of mercenaries this time, the difficulty of repelling them has more than doubled.
The demons have no intelligence and will retreat on their own initiative when some of them suffer casualties, but these mercenaries are different. Basically, they become more ferocious as the fight goes on.
While Princess Alicia summoned her Knights of Saint Alice to fight these demons for their lives, Thomas, the Minister of Finance, was leisurely drinking tea with other parliamentarians.
They had already received an important piece of information from the white-bearded old man, that is, he had reached an agreement with Bolt's mercenaries.
"Minister Thomas is truly remarkable. He convinced those mercenaries to agree to our plan with just a few words. Being able to retain his status and continue to hold a high position is quite impressive."
A congressman who also had gray hair said this with satisfaction.
"Ordinary people are just livestock. We only need to protect our own interests. As for the rest, they have nothing to do with us."
There was a hint of ruthlessness on Minister Thomas's wrinkled face, as if these things had nothing to do with him.
"That's right. This way we can maximize our benefits. As long as it doesn't affect our interests, everything else doesn't matter."
After hearing what Thomas said, everyone agreed to the high cost of the First Fortress. After all, no matter how many people died in this war, as long as it did not affect their own interests, it would be fine.
"Then Minister Thomas, you must not have forgotten Princess Alicia, right?"
Suddenly, one of the congressmen's eyes lit up and he stared at Thomas in front of him.
"Haha, that's natural. A stupid woman like this can only submit to me."
Thomas looked through the window and saw Princess Alicia, who was standing on the outer wall of the fortress, resisting the demons with a cold expression on her face.
"Then I wish you all the best, Minister Thomas."
Looking at Thomas in front of them, the other ministers were also ready to watch the show. After all, she was just a princess who was pretty. No one would object to her becoming Thomas's property.
"Haha, thank you all for your care."
Thomas said with a laugh, a joyful expression on his face.
After waiting for Thomas to leave, the congressmen were about to enter the basement when a slightly light voice was heard.
"Sure enough, they are a bunch of confused congressmen with fake brains!"
When these people were about to leave, the door that was ajar suddenly closed. Then, Ye You suddenly appeared in front of these people and sat on a valuable chair.
"Mercenary, what are you planning to do here? Didn't we already reach an agreement?"
Looking at the mercenaries who suddenly appeared, a congressman with gray hair and beard also questioned.
"Yes! Thomas, haven't we already reached an agreement with you? Why are you still looking for us?"
The parliamentarians nearby also looked confused.
Facing the confused looks of these congressmen, Ye You's eyes became even more sarcastic, and he spoke indifferently.
"That's your agreement with Bolt, not mine. I'm sorry, I just wanted to kill a few termites to relieve my boredom."
Ye You snapped his fingers, and Chloe and the dark elf queen Orika suddenly appeared beside him. It was obvious that these two people were summoned from the small world by him.
"Kill them all, Olivia. You can suck all the life out of them."
After summoning Chloe and Olika, Ye You waved his hand and gave orders.
"Yes."
After hearing the order, Chloe and Olika took action, and screams were heard from inside. In a short while, more than a dozen councilors from the First Fortress were killed. The Elf Queen Olika also absorbed the vitality of all these guys and turned them into mummies.
"What a relief! Those council members from the First Fortress have been provoking the Black City so many times, and they're so mean. Killing them is such a relief."
Olika threw herself into Ye You's arms, and said with joy on her face, as if she thought it was pretty good.
"As long as you like it, go play in the basement first. We'll go over there to watch the show later."
Ye You pinched the chin of the Elf Queen Olika, with a smile on his lips.
"Okay, Lord Demon King."
The dark elf queen, Orika, nodded obediently.
After killing all these people, Ye You took the two elf girls beside him and went to the basement built by these parliamentarians.
--------------------------------------------------
Arriving at the basement, Ye You opened the door and was surprised by the magnificence of the place. Not only was the furniture made of rosewood, but there were also tea sets that nobles could use, as well as some very valuable calligraphy and paintings.
It seems that this basement is merely a place for these nobles to take refuge and rest, and it is worthy of the word "luxury".
"Master Demon, what are you planning to do by bringing us here?"
Looking at the Demon King in front of her, the Dark Elf Queen Olika asked with some confusion.
"Yes! Master, this is what we need to do, and we will do it obediently."
Looking at Ye You in front of her, Chloe put her hands on both sides and said obediently.
"Well, before the battle for the First Fortress begins, let me replenish your mana!"
Ye You smiled mysteriously and sat down beside the bed. He released the holy sword and looked at the holy sword that jumped out. The dark elf queen's face also turned slightly red.
Although she has only come into contact with it a few times, the Dark Elf Queen Orika is still quite fond of the holy sword.
"Olika, replenish as much mana as you want yourself. Chloe, you can compete for it."
As soon as Ye You finished speaking, the dark elf queen Orika squatted in front of him, looked at the standing holy sword, and then wrapped it up.
Afterwards, the Elf Queen Orika began to act in an orderly manner and started to counterattack the Holy Sword according to the means she knew.
Ye You also grabbed Olika's southern hemisphere with one hand and aimed the other hand at Chloe, feeling very comfortable.
Anyway, in the basement, the brainless princess has not surrendered yet, and it doesn’t seem too dangerous to do something interesting during this period of time.
More than ten minutes later, Olica drank the magic power he wanted and felt that the quality of his own magic power had improved a little again.
"The Demon King's magic power is indeed of high quality. How fortunate!"
Olivia tasted the magic, her face filled with happiness, leaving him with a perfect back view, showing her back garden in front of him.
"Let's begin, Lord Demon. Please give me everything you have."
Elf Queen Olika, just finished speaking, the holy sword had already successfully attacked. Ye You had already captured the Dark Elf Queen, so naturally he would not waste time talking any more.
When he started to move, he also kissed Chloe, thus forming a 1V2 situation.
After waiting for this round of communication to end, Ye You started the second round of communication, and then Chloe took over and continued to replenish magic.
Since Ye You had the bloodline of the Holy Lord and the dragon clan, it took him three hours to make the two elven girls completely unable to move.
After all, facing their own strengthened holy swords and almost unlimited physical strength, Chloe and the Elf Queen Olika had no chance of success from the beginning.
After settling them down, Ye You walked forward and slowly covered them with blankets, waiting for them to rest before going to the inner city of the First Fortress to watch a show.
The goal is naturally the heroine. Apart from this, the rest of the things have nothing to do with him.
Chapter 14 Threats, the surrender of Princess Alicia?
Chapter 14 Threats, the surrender of Princess Alicia?
At night, in the outer city area where Princess Alicia was, she saw piles of demon troops slowly climbing up holding ladders. She commanded the members of the Knights to fight off wave after wave of enemies.
After fighting for half a day, Princess Alicia didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, and her eyes were full of fatigue.
"Lady Alicia, the situation is extremely unfavorable for us. There are simply too many demons, and the mercenaries are taking advantage of this to launch a surprise attack. The Knights of Saint Alice have also suffered heavy casualties."
The red-haired knight next to him also had a look of worry on his face.
"There's no other way. We can't let these guys in. Letting these demons and mercenaries in would be disastrous for us. We can't bear this responsibility."
Alicia's face was also filled with extreme worry.
"But the enemy is too strong. Even if we hold on with all our might, we can only hold out for two days. We might not even get reinforcements."
Another black-haired female knight said with some fear on her face.
"That's enough. Now isn't the time to talk about things that will affect our morale. The most important thing is that we must persevere. If we don't, the entire First Fortress will be wiped out."
Princess Alicia said painfully that if they did not defend to the end, the officials' families would be the ones who would be in trouble.
Minister Thomas and his men have done so many wrong things and committed such serious crimes that they will definitely arouse the anger of the mercenaries.
"Yes."
Faced with Princess Alicia's orders, the Knights could only resist desperately, bringing some soldiers to resist the attack together.
Nearing midnight, the side door on the south side suddenly exploded. After that, the Knights of Saint Alice knew that they could not hold on and could only retreat to the inner city at a high speed.
Although she was somewhat unwilling, Princess Alicia also knew one thing, which was that she had to conserve enough strength to the greatest extent possible, otherwise she might be defeated by these mercenaries and demons.
While waiting for the outer city to fall, Princess Alicia saw Minister Thomas, wearing a green felt hat and a small mustache, walking towards her angrily.
"Princess Alicia, what's wrong with you? The Council trusted you to protect the entire First Fortress, but they didn't expect you to be so useless. You're completely useless."
Looking at Princess Alicia in front of him, Minister Thomas said unhappily.
"That's enough. I don't know who betrayed us and actually opened the south wall. As a result, these people were allowed in here."
Princess Alicia was also in a bad mood, and she was extremely unhappy when faced with this guy's accusations.
"Then I hope Princess Alicia will protect everyone! This is your responsibility."
Minister Thomas knew Alicia very well and knew this woman's determination, so he left with a smile.
After walking for a while, he spoke in a sarcastic tone that was almost inaudible to others.
"Princess Alicia, you belong to me. No one else can ever take you away from me."
Minister Thomas' eyes were filled with malice, and he wished he could take Alicia into his own pocket right now, but he had never had a good opportunity.
The next day, just after dawn, Bolt led a large army of mercenaries and a group of goblins to the gate of the inner city.
"Princess Alicia, surrender! You are on the verge of defeat, and your resistance now is futile."
Bolt looked at Princess Alicia with admiration. At least this woman was very capable. If he could get her into his hands, she would be considered a good commodity.
With blonde hair, purple eyes, and wearing a princess dress and armor, Princess Alicia undoubtedly has a touch of cuteness.
"Bolt, why on earth did you betray the Seven Shields? You shouldn't be that kind of person."
Princess Alicia stared at Bolt and also felt a little unbelievable.
The man in front of him was a little worse than he had imagined. Maybe the Seven Shield Alliance was wrong before, but this man's revenge was also quite cruel.
"Hahaha, you're right. When I gave everything for the Seven Shields Alliance, those guys didn't think so. They wanted to use us as cannon fodder and deplete our mercenaries' strength."
Bolt shook his head with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"Then what do you want?"
Princess Alicia's momentum also weakened a bit, and she frowned and asked.
"Surrender, as long as you hand over the First Fortress. I can guarantee the safety of you and the little princess, but if you don't do this, not only will you be punished, but the little princess will not be spared either."
Bolt's idea was very simple, which was to capture the first fortress as soon as possible and use it as a base to encroach on the territory of the Seven Shield Alliance and expand their sphere of influence.
"Impossible. The Knights of Saint Alice will defend the First Fortress until the very end and will not surrender."
Princess Alicia said firmly, showing no intention of giving in.
In the face of Princess Alicia's rejection, Bolt's face was filled with a hint of sarcasm and a mocking expression.
"What a simple-minded princess! You think you can hold on to the end? You really won't surrender, okay? Come out, my subordinates."
Under Bolt's arrangement, a group of nuns tied to pillars appeared in front of Alicia.
"Well, if you don't agree, I will punish these nuns in front of you."
Bolt said this in a threatening tone. Although his method was a bit despicable, he knew that this was the best way to threaten Her Royal Highness the Princess.
