Clearly, the little loli didn't understand what was happening. Suddenly called awake, she was still in a daze.
Alyona was in a similar state, completely groggy and unaware of anything.
"What's wrong? Alina sister..."
Griseo sat up, rubbing her big eyes as she looked at Alina in confusion.
"..."
Hearing this, Alyona also turned her head to look at Alina, awaiting her answer.
"You two, hurry up and get up! The camp is under attack! There are quite a few attackers, and some tricky enemies too!"
Looking at the two still groggy little ones, Alina frowned slightly and walked to the bedside, explaining with a hint of urgency.
"???)"!
With that, Alina's words instantly jolted Griseo and Alyona fully awake, banishing all sleepiness. Even the discomfort of being suddenly woken up lessened considerably.
However, compared to Alyona, Griseo reacted more strongly. She quickly scrambled out of the covers and stood on the bed.
Next, without needing the little loli to call out, the giant azure knight and the azure attendant appeared by the bedside simultaneously, awaiting her command.
"Attendant Gentleman, please stay and protect Alina sister and the others. Then... Mister Knight, take me to find Talulah."
After speaking, Griseo took a few steps forward and stood by the bedside.
"..."
Mister Knight skillfully scooped up his little princess and quickly moved outside, leaving the three in the tent looking at each other in bewilderment.
Upon exiting the tent, Griseo didn't need to identify the direction of the main battlefield; it was too obvious.
However, the little loli also noticed enemies approaching from behind. Before rushing over, she released her Tyrant uncle to deal with the enemies in the rear.
"..."
Griseo, sitting quietly on Mister Knight's arm, finally couldn't help but rub her slightly sore big eyes again.
Honestly, the little loli never expected such a major situation to erupt at the camp during her short nap...
If Griseo had known earlier, she wouldn't have taken that nap! She could have preemptively annihilated the enemies outside... Why would it be so troublesome now?
With their escape route completely cut off, Yelena could only temporarily abandon her preparations to withdraw, pull herself out of the fight, and go help Talulah, who was fighting two opponents.
But it was clear that Yelena's strength couldn't compensate for the two Elite Guards, so even with her help, they were still suppressed and even sustained minor injuries.
However, at this moment, neither Talulah nor Yelena showed any intention of retreating, continuing to endure the attacks of the two Elite Guards head-on.
Although the situation appeared to be a stalemate on the surface, in reality, Reunion was at a significant disadvantage, both in the leaders' battles and the ordinary infected's fights.
Furthermore, after one of the Elite Guards revealed Talulah's identity, many infected wavered severely, some even falling into despair.
So, when Griseo arrived, she saw a chaotic clash and the injured Talulah and Yelena.
"!"
And as the little loli was surprised, a curved saber glinting with cold light appeared behind Talulah at some point, slashing towards her rapidly.
"Mister Knight!"
With Griseo's slightly angry cry, the azure knight carrying his princess appeared behind Talulah with almost blink-and-you'll-miss-it speed. He grabbed the dragon girl's shoulder with his large hand, blocking the attack for her.
"Clang—"
The Elite Guard's attack was blocked, and the sharp curved saber quickly scraped across Mister Knight's back, sending sparks flying...
But upon closer inspection, Mister Knight didn't seem to have suffered significant damage, with only a tiny white mark left on his body.
"What... what is that thing?"
Seeing the suddenly appearing knight and the little loli, the two Elite Guards' movements slowed slightly as they silently observed the half-body knight who had appeared out of nowhere.
And not just the two Elite Guards; everyone else who hadn't seen Mister Knight before was also observing him secretly, and they took note of the cute little Griseo as well.
ps: To be honest, I'm really trying to avoid writing combat scenes... I can only say I really don't have the writing skill for it. If it doesn't look good, then so be it, it's just filler... So, that's that.
Actually, I asked before. I've wanted to write about Snake Snake for a long time, on a different storyline. But I saw your support wasn't very high. I was afraid of losing subscribers, so I never wrote it.
Chapter 69: Wrath and Seal
While the Elite Guards and others were observing Griseo, she was also observing the Elite Guards and the invading enemies...
Honestly, the little loli never expected that the leaders of this sudden camp attack would be Elite Guards, and two of them at that.
Now, Griseo felt a hint of trouble... but it was only trouble.
At this moment, the little loli's gaze swept over Talulah and Yelena. Upon seeing the glaring crimson, she slowly lowered her eyes, concealing the boundless anger and coldness that surfaced in them.
"Let's end this unfunny little game... Mister Knight."
As Griseo's indifferent whisper fell, a burst of azure light erupted. The already massive Knight grew even larger and more imposing under the vibrant hues, his greatsword's blade becoming sharper.
The sudden change in the Azure Knight drew the attention of everyone present. The two Elite Guards, sensing a sudden danger, tensed up and became wary.
However, the Azure Knight didn't immediately lash out as they expected. Instead, he gracefully placed the barefoot little loli he was holding onto the ground, and then...
With a surge of air, the giant Knight vanished from his spot. He reappeared before one of the Elite Guards, his massive hand clenched into a fist, which he then drove forward.
The Elite Guard, unable to dodge, took the full force of the punch and was sent flying backward.
As for why the Azure Knight didn't use his greatsword but his fists, and even controlled his strength... it was all due to Griseo's secret instructions.
The reason was simple: due to the Elite Guards' "human bomb" characteristic, Griseo couldn't directly kill the two who had harmed her companions.
The lives of two enemies weren't worth the price of many companions and Reunion.
After sending one Elite Guard flying with his punch, Mister Knight quickly turned his gaze to the remaining one and charged forward.
With that, the Azure Knight, single-handedly, managed to hold off the two Elite Guards, leaving them no energy to concern themselves with anything else.
Then, to the astonished gazes of everyone, including Talulah and the others, Griseo quickly set up her easel, took out her brushes and other painting tools, and even brought out her large cross-shaped special weapon, the Starlight of the Past.
After mixing her colors on the palette, the little girl entered her painting state amidst the chaotic scene, her models this time being the two Elite Guards locked in combat with her Knight.
"Quick... kill that girl!"
One of the Elite Guards, being suppressed by the Azure Knight, managed to break free for a moment and yelled at the soldiers engaged in the melee.
The strength of the knightly monster before them threatened both Elite Guards, but they also saw that this monster had a significant connection to Griseo.
Since they couldn't directly eliminate the Knight in front of them, they decided to capture the king by killing the seemingly weak little girl over there.
Upon hearing the Elite Guard's command, many soldiers began to shift their focus, their targets now aimed at the blue-haired little loli in the center of the battlefield, who was currently immersed in her world of painting.
A multitude of Originium Arts attacks, shimmering with light, surged towards Griseo.
Seeing this, Talulah, Griseo, and the Yetis instinctively broke off their current fights to intercept the barrage of attacks.
But there were too many, and they were too fast. No matter how they blocked, quite a few escaped the net and headed towards the little loli...
Griseo, however, seemed oblivious to the approaching attacks, the actions of her companions, and the complex gazes of other Reunion members. She made no move to dodge or defend herself.
Just as many believed Griseo would be injured, or even killed... a crimson figure, accompanied by silent fury and annihilating black flames, shielded the princess.
The next moment, scorching black flames erupted, rising from thin air and obliterating all the incoming attacks.
Then, the brutal Tyrant summoned his greatsword and began his judgment, personally executing the many sinners before him who dared to harm the princess.
At this point, Talulah and Yelena also reacted, seizing the opportunity to rally the infected combatants and launch a counterattack.
Thanks to the Tyrant, Reunion's initial disadvantage was completely erased, and the infected were energized, fighting back ferociously.
Noticing their numbers dwindling and another crimson monster wreaking havoc, the two Elite Guards exchanged glances.
Then, seizing an opportunity, one of them quickly drew his blade to distract the Azure Knight, while the other cut down several intervening figures and charged towards the still-painting Griseo.
"Little Griseo, be careful!"
Talulah's peripheral vision caught the scene, and she instinctively tried to fall back.
But the distance had already widened, and this Elite Guard was surprisingly fast. Even using Originium Arts, she couldn't stop him in time.
"Careful!"
Yelena, on the other side, was in a similar situation. Her Originium Arts erupted, and black ice shot towards the attacking Elite Guard...
But it was completely blocked by the Elite Guard's Originium Arts, only managing to slow him down for a split second.
Soon, the sharp, cold gleam of the Elite Guard's curved blade drew closer and closer to Griseo...
However, at this moment, some people noticed the anomaly. Neither the Azure Knight, who was still fighting the other Elite Guard, nor the crimson Tyrant, who was slaughtering the army, showed any intention of falling back to protect their little princess.
It was as if they hadn't seen Griseo about to be threatened... Even the blue-haired little loli herself showed no change in expression or gaze, calmly lowering her brush.
And just as Griseo made her final stroke, brilliant, vibrant colors exploded from the painting, floating around the little loli and shielding her from the imminent attack.
While blocking the Elite Guard's attack, these colors, as if alive, quickly attached themselves and enveloped the attacking Elite Guard before everyone's eyes, pulling him into the painting.
The other Elite Guard, still enduring the Knight's assault, paused his attack upon seeing this. Every fiber of his being screamed for him to flee, and he acted on it.
But it was no use. The vibrant colors soon caught up to him, slowly dragging him back into the painting that belonged to the "Elite Guard."
"..."
Everyone who witnessed this horrifying scene froze in stunned silence, a chill crawling up their spines as they shivered.
ps: It's a bit earlier today, but I really need to adjust my schedule. I plan to go to the library to study tomorrow, so I'll try not to stay up past midnight tonight.
Since you all seem to have no issues, I'll start writing about the snake girl after I finish this part. Don't worry, I'll lay the groundwork. I hope you'll be supportive and not let my subscriptions drop when I switch perspectives.
A gentle nudge.
Chapter 70: The End
"..."
Everyone present who witnessed the horrifying scene before them was stunned into silence, a chill slowly creeping up their spines as they shivered.
However, Griseo had never cared about the opinions or reactions of outsiders, not even sparing them an extra glance.
The little loli then quietly packed up her easel and special weapon. After giving Talulah and the others a blank look, she quickly turned and left the chaotic scene in front of everyone, heading in the direction of the tent where she had been sleeping.
As soon as they saw Griseo about to leave, almost everyone instinctively made way, leaving a large space around her.
Some even watched her small departing figure with fearful eyes...
Of course, where there was fear, there was also excitement... A very few individuals looked at Griseo with eyes full of excitement, curiosity, and inquiry.
As for why Griseo chose to leave so quickly, the reason was very simple.
She had promised Talulah and the others earlier not to run around. Since she had already caused such a scene, it was best to go back and stay put honestly.
Furthermore, being stared at and surrounded by so many people... the mixed colors she saw were already making her feel a bit uncomfortable, and she no longer wanted to stay in the crowd.
Griseo felt that the chaotic battlefield outside was more than enough for her Talulah and Mister Knight to handle with their support.
After watching Griseo leave safely, Talulah and Yelena both breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they retracted their gazes and began to encircle and eliminate the remaining enemies.
Inside the camp—
Before Griseo could even reach her tent, she encountered Alina, many children, and the wounded waiting outside. The Attendant was also there, busily helping out.
"Little Griseo, are you hurt?"
Seeing the little loli who looked no different than when she left, Alina anxiously leaned forward and asked.
