After Reincarnation, I Was Turned Into a Slave Maid by the Princess Chapter 258 : Battle of Insolania - Part 1

...

Luozhi Sheng had snuck out secretly.

The wounds on her body hadn't completely healed. In fact, there were still so black spots on her left chest, making the girl feel itchy every ti she turned around.

But this wasn't an excuse to hide behind and rest.

Everyone was fighting hard—how could she hide in the hospital?

So she joined the royal capital's militia organization, preparing to contribute her share in today's fierce battle.

However...

...

"Sigh, even such a young girl like you has to go to the battlefield?"

"Huh?"

"You're about the sa age as my daughter. If possible, I really don't want you to go to the battlefield..."

Beside her, a bearded middle-aged man said this.

He looked sowhat aged, already balding at the forehead, but he still gripped his Mauser rifle tightly.

"Senior, I'm very capable. Please don't worry about ."

"Haha, having spirit is good. But a real battlefield isn't what you imagine."

"Uh?"

"It's chaotic, noisy... No matter how capable you are, if you're targeted by enemies and pierced by a ballista, your body will disintegrate instantly."

"..."

Luozhi Sheng took a deep breath, looking at the uncle before her with a bitter expression.

"When that ti cos, no matter what dreams you have, no matter what expectations you hold, they'll all turn to dust, and those who care about you will never see you again."

"Senior..."

"So you must be careful. Don't do anything reckless. Treat all your opponents and enemies seriously, and never underestimate or be careless."

"Mm, I understand."

...

...

As a Bright Ember inheritor, Luozhi Sheng's strength was far superior to ordinary soldiers and demons.

So she firmly believed she would serve as a surprise force to turn the tide in this battle... But being reminded by the uncle like this, Luozhi Sheng realized she had been too arrogant.

This ti's demons weren't ordinary demons—they were all enhanced by Exotic Decay fragnts, so she...

...

(I must be extra careful, right?)

Luozhi Sheng looked toward the western sky, and the war...

Had already begun.

...

"So this is what war looks like?"

Looking at the distant scenes, Zhou Suling was speechless with amazent.

She had seen demons in guides before and witnessed grand scenes in war movies, but being there in person, she felt a completely different kind of shock.

The demons besieging Insolania numbered nearly one million.

Even excluding goblins and slis—those weaklings—the demons' strength was still not to be underestimated... Not to ntion the many monsters in the demon army.

A type of giant hound five ters tall could tear a person into minceat with one swipe. If Suling went forward, she wouldn't even be enough for one bite.

"Suling, are you ready?"

"Mm, mm..."

Her sister's reminder brought Suling back to her senses slightly... She nodded and quietly clenched her fist.

"Sister, what are we going to do?"

"Mm... this is still a secret. I'm not very clear either."

"Oh..."

"But soon we'll know. Co follow forward."

"Mm."

The pink-haired sisters supported each other, walking step by step into the dark depths.

...

anwhile...

On the outskirts of Insolania, atop a tall building.

"Damn it!"

Lonis couldn't dodge in ti and was hit by an arrow.

Although it wasn't a vital part—just a chunk of flesh carved from her arm—even so, Lonis still hissed in pain.

(So painful! The battlefield really is a cruel place. But... this little injury is nothing compared to Elucia's training.)

Lonis gritted her teeth. Under her gaze, the wound on her left arm gradually healed at a visible rate.

In the distance, countless surging demons were gradually attacking into the city through a breach.

...

"Awooo!"

"Thud thud thud!"

Countless heavy feet trampled the ground, creating extrely intense sounds... The first to charge into the city were creatures called beastn. Compared to ordinary humans, their physiques were much larger.

Among them, the largest beastman brutes weighed nearly a ton each.

If hit head-on by such heavy monsters, even the bravest n would be sent flying. So facing the beastn vanguard, the soldiers used standard firearms.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a series of firing sounds, sharp bullets cut through the air, shooting straight at the beastn.

Logically, under the effect of modern standard weapons, no creature could stop large-caliber bullet shooting... Sharp warheads could not only pierce steel plates but also explode flesh into fragnts.

However...

Bullets had a fatal flaw.

Low kinetic energy (a few hundred joules per bullet) and fracturing when encountering water.

So under the influence of demon shield spells, although the bullets from soldiers ultimately hit the beastn, most lost their lethality and couldn't cause fatal damage to these crude beastn.

"Kill these humans!"

"Charge!"

Bullets that felt like scratching couldn't stop the beastn's advance but instead stimulated their fighting desire.

They attacked boldly with their weapons, seemingly wanting to completely crush people with their handheld weapons.

But...

The soldiers of the Bright Ember Kingdom cleverly changed their attack thod.

"Magic crystal bullets, fire!"

"First squad, shoot!"

The soldiers switched ammunition, changing from armor-piercing pointed bullets to explosive rounds carrying magic crystal detonators.

This way, although the bullets' initial velocity decreased significantly, they could deliver non-kinetic strikes to the beastn by detonating magic crystals.

The results beca remarkably obvious.

"Ah, ahh!"

"It's thunder crystals!"

Countless electric lights mixed with sparks appeared in the demon ranks. The beastn who charged first couldn't withstand such fierce attacks and fell one after another.

At this mont, this small breach in the royal capital's walls beca a deadly trap. The beastn who had already charged in couldn't retreat, while those outside couldn't charge in. The Bright Ember Kingdom soldiers used crossfire like shooting fish in a barrel for continuous output.

"Did we succeed?"

Lonis was overjoyed. If this continued, the thousands of beastn currently in the city would all beco sitting ducks.

But...

"No... not yet!"

Before joy could linger on her cheeks, Lonis noticed sothing wrong.

More beastn continued charging through the breach.

But their skin color was no longer the red or green from before... but shadow-like black.

Even from a distance, she could feel that very ominous aura.

And these beastn were...

"Everyone be careful! Demonized beastn who consud Exotic Decay fragnts have appeared! Concentrate firepower—we must stop them!"
