Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

Chapter 45 - 45



Chapter 45: Chapter 45

Galros Fortress,

As a stronghold resisting the demon invasion on the outskirts of Wind City, this place was naturally armed with a large number of troops and countless magical weapons! After the heaven and earth anomaly occurred within the Winter Forest,

The Galros Fortress had entered the 3th alert state again after a century! The entire fortress was in battle mode, filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, with all the soldiers ready to face the demon attack at any moment!

When many soldiers felt fear,

There were also quite a few who were unusually excited, as the fruits of their decades-long training were about to be displayed!

However,

Since the 3s alert state began, more than a week had passed,

During this period,

They hadn't even seen a few magical beasts, let alone the shadow of abyssal demons.

The demons continued to linger on the edge of the Winter Forest, and the forest itself was incredibly calm, showing no signs of a demon attack.

As the saying goes,

Full of energy at first, then weakened, and finally exhausted.

The long period of calm made the soldiers doubt the accuracy of the intelligence from Wind City? Would the demons really attack? Even if they did, would they attack this place?

Under the influence of such thoughts, combined with the previous period of high-intensity tension, the soldiers' vigilance had significantly slackened in the past few days...

Besides,

Not only different soldiers but even Fortress Commander Kreimde was no longer filled with murderous intent as he had been a few days ago.

Today, standing on the fortress wall, Kreimde even indulged in a few drinks,

He gazed boredly at the distant horizon,

'Sigh, it seems, today is peaceful too.'

Kreimde couldn't help but complain in his heart,

No wonder the tens of thousands of soldiers began to relax with the commander behaving this way...

Just as Kreimde began to enjoy his wine, a sentinel nearby suddenly let out a gasp,

"Eh? What...what is that? Commander Kreimde! There are people rushing from the north!"

"Hmm? People?"

Hearing this, Kreimde raised an eyebrow and looked curiously towards the north,

At this moment,

Dozens of Asumos knights in silver armor, riding sturdy horses, appeared on the hill at the horizon and raced towards the fortress at breakneck speed!

"???"

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Kreimde's expression turned to one of sudden realization.

Well,

He had thought it was someone else coming from the north. So, it was just those boring Asumos people.

Those people they were carrying behind them, were they slaves?

It seemed their rescue plan had gone quite smoothly~

Huh?

Wait?

"Why were they so panicked if it had gone so smoothly?"

After observing the frightened expressions on the knights' faces through his telescope, Kreimde's forehead was filled with question marks,

'What's going on?'

Kreimde couldn't help but wonder in his heart,

'Fortunately',

The answer to his question came rather quickly,

As Kreimde curiously watched the group of disheveled Asumos church knights, a terrifying aura suddenly intruded into his perception, causing his pupils to contract sharply,

An unexpected situation occurred that caught everyone off guard,

"awoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!!~"

???

What? This sound?!!

Kreimde's pupils shrank abruptly,

The next instant,

Accompanied by a series of deep, terrifying roars of fierce beasts, an oppressive aura, as vast as death itself, suddenly engulfed the horizon from afar and swept towards the location of Galros Fortress,

In an instant, the originally relaxed atmosphere was shattered by this overwhelming force! Not only Kreimde, but all the soldiers felt an unprecedented sense of trembling at this moment!!

A sudden chill in his heart, an intense sense of foreboding emerged in Kreimde's mind, and his gaze no longer lingered on the Asumos Sect knights, but involuntarily extended into the distance,

Under the azure sky,

On the hills connecting the snowy plains, a cluster of black fog suddenly erupted,

Following the Asumos knights, a huge black creature appeared in everyone's line of sight, relentlessly pursuing the church's squad,

??!!

'That...that is?! A demon?!'

With the emergence of the first demon,

The second,

The third,

Hundreds,

Thousands,

...

...

In a flash,

Under Kreimde's terrified gaze, accompanied by the terrifying and profound black smoke and the low, oppressive roars, countless bizarre creatures of various forms swarmed down from the hills behind the Asumos knights!

The soaring killing intent, the eerie black fog, and the galloping bloodthirsty monsters,

Suddenly converged into waves of pitch-black waves, like a burst dam, surging towards the fortress! The momentum was enough to engulf the entire Galros Fortress! Among the demons, there were even dozens of massive, sixth-tier beings!! Compared to such colossal creatures, the fortress walls seemed so insignificant and inconsequential for a moment,

"huh,,,,? ,This is a .....dream,,,,, right?!"

At this moment,

Kreimde's usually calm demeanor was suddenly twisted into a comical expression of extreme shock, his mouth wide open, as if he could stuff an entire football inside,

"No... this... this can't be?! How can there be so many abyssal demons?!"

In the decades that he'd been the fortress commander, he had seen monsters and demons attacks,

But,

At that time, there were only a few scattered attacks,

Even in the face of a horrifying demon tide, there were only a few hundred at most?!

And now?

It must have reached thousands, right?!!

What on earth was going on?!!!

Kreimde's hysterical roar was uncontrollable within his heart, his body trembling incessantly, and the iron cup in his hand was crushed into a lump. Feeling the cold and sinister aura that relentlessly approached from afar,

Kreimde even stepped back repeatedly,

Finally, his legs gave out,

In front of the staring soldiers, he stumbled awkwardly and sat on the ground,

"Lord Kreimde! What... what... should we do now??!"

A woman who looked like a deputy ran up to him, anxiously inquiring,

Hearing this familiar voice, Kreimde recovered from his mental breakdown and, leaning against the wall, stumbled back to his feet,

"What do we do?! Prepare for battle, of course!!!!!!"

After shouting,

Kreimde's eyes furiously glanced at the soldiers surrounding him,

"What are you waiting for?! Prepare for battle! Bring out the magic beam cannons! Activate all the defensive magic arrays! And hurry up and shoot the signal flare!!!"

With Kreimde's hysterical roar,

The entire Galros Fortress was suddenly thrown into chaos at this moment, as the shadow of death loomed over the fortress.

Soldiers and residents within the fortress all felt an unprecedented sense of trembling...

In the distance,

Inside the military barracks of Wind City,

Seeing the black signal flare that pierced the sky on the distant horizon, the border lord Xi Mu involuntarily took a deep breath, and a military officer beside him revealed an indescribable look of solemnity,

The black signal flare wasn't used lightly,

It was the most urgent call for help, indicating that the fortress had encountered a devastating disaster and urgently needed assistance from other fortresses and the main city. In history, the black signal flare had only been used twice...

And this time,

Keep in mind,

The Galros Fortress was guarded by 70,000 regular soldiers, ranking among the sturdiest fortresses on the Snowy Night Empire's northern defense line! Were they desperate enough to need the black signal flare? The situation was undoubtedly grim!

"Your Grace, what should we do?"

A black-haired knight slowly approached Xi Mu, asking solemnly,

In response,

Xi Mu resolutely looked towards the location of the Galros Fortress, slowly putting on his silver helmet, and drew the sword from his waist,

"Gather the Blizzard Knights immediately and join me in the rescue!"
