A Dangerous Attacker (Continued)

The girl was wearing a light blue uniform skirt, and her fair legs were dangling in mid-air.

A blond warrior stood silently guarding both sides.

The girl was so beautiful that it was hard to believe she would appear on the battlefield.

The city defense officer frowned.

"That girl... could she be the commander from the other side?"

It's a bit unbelievable that a girl in her early teens dressed like this would appear on the battlefield.

Most importantly, a group of soldiers on the ship seemed to treat her with exceptional respect.

Moreover, there is no doubt that some soldiers would do as she pointed.

"Could she be the daughter of the attacker?"

With various speculations in his mind, he thought that if he could send out elite troops to carry out a decapitation strike... no, perhaps capturing the girl as a hostage would force the other side to abandon such a plan.

Looking at the girl in the distance again, he realized she perfectly matched his XP, and his mind and body couldn't help but react.

"Damn it, don't let your mind wander."

He shook his head, took a deep breath, and tried to figure out where these intruders came from.

The army on the ground looked for men that were all formidable.

At that moment, the door behind them was pushed open, and a soldier walked in.

"Sir, the enemy's offensive is very fierce. They have too many cannons, and they are extremely powerful. They can even blow up some houses."

"Where are our troops?" The city defense officer turned to look at the man behind him. "How many have come?"

"We have temporarily assembled 2,000 people, but the total number of troops stationed in the city is 3,000, and we can also urgently draw 2,000 reserves from the civilian population."

"Good."

The city's army was undoubtedly far, far larger than Lord Eli's small force.

However, when it comes to actual combat strength, most of them are just reserve forces.

The assembly proceeded very quickly.

After providing fire support for a period of time, eight ships withdrew, leaving only two to continue assisting the soldiers on the front lines.

The six cannons on these two ships completely pinned down the city's defense troops, preventing them from raising their heads.

They dared not concentrate their troops at all, because if they did, they would be wiped out in one fell swoop.

"Charge!"

Long spears stood like a forest.

The phalanx of Spearman, carrying sturdy nets of guns, charged into the street, roaring as they charged toward this direction.

Faced with the dense array of countless gun barrels, enough to turn a person into a sieve, the defending town guards felt their scalps tingle.

The gun emplacement is coming up.

"Ah--"

The soldiers at the front row made a sound that was hard to tell whether it was from fear or anger.

Puff puff puff—

The scene was instantly filled with flying blood and gore.

On the next street, dozens of sword-and-shield infantrymen easily broke through the weak defensive line of over a hundred enemies, and soon faced a second wave of opponents.

Unfortunately, before the two sides even started fighting, a shell landed, and more than twenty enemy soldiers fell to the ground in shockwave.

Thick smoke billowed out, and half of the walls on both sides collapsed due to the tremors.

Behind the city's defense forces, several thousand men quickly split into several groups to try to block the attack, but faced with such a formidable opponent, they felt their scalps tingle.

More importantly, the rain of arrows falling from behind was so numerous that the soldiers had nowhere to hide.

Some arrows were accompanied by flashes of fire, while others moved as fast as a shadow.

The offensive battle raged across different streets.

Although Ye Qian's side sent fewer people, their overall advantage was undeniable.

More than three hours later, a second batch of 1,600 soldiers disembarked and went to reinforce the front line.

In the sixth hour, the defending troops were forced back to the south wall, where a large number of civilians and soldiers mingled together, attempting to escape. At this time, Ye Qian's side received an additional 1,600 soldiers.

At 8 p. m. that night, the army blocked the enemy's escape route, the city's defense officer surrendered, and the entire city was completely captured.

Just as Ye Qian easily jumped off the boat, like an innocent girl, ready to explore this unfamiliar city.

Not far from her, the city defense officer himself was being held down on the ground by several soldiers.

Even with his head touching the ground, he could feel the lovely girl coming to his side.

"Hmm, he's the officer in charge of guarding this city?"

"Yes, Your Excellency," an archer replied.

The city defense officer, who was lying on the ground, was taken aback.

Leader?

Is he really the leader of this legion?

She... looks like she's only a teenager, right?

She was at most sixteen or seventeen years old, and looked like an innocent young lady who had never experienced the ways of the world. Unexpectedly, she was actually the de facto leader of this legion.

How could these powerful soldiers be commanded and made to obey so obediently?

This stark contrast left him speechless.

"My lord, what should we do with this city defense officer?" Italin walked up and looked at the man on the ground.

"Well, he surrendered voluntarily after all, so he shouldn't be treated the same as those who resisted. Let's give him a chance."

As Miss Ye Qian spoke, she saw this person's profile.

This occurred after the other side agreed to surrender and submit.

The displayed loyalty level is currently 65.

The height was somewhat unexpected.

"When you surrendered, you were only 41, right?"

Many of the minions summoned by players weren't this tall at the beginning.

At this moment, this guy's loyalty level actually increased again, reaching 67.

He seemed to have developed a stronger liking for Ye Qian.

When he heard Ye Qian say that she would let him go, he actually thought, "This leader is still kind."

The Mystic Thread confirmed this guy's idea, Ye Qian's lips twitched.

Did I charm this guy?

Indeed, love knows no bounds. Even an enemy can develop feelings for you if you touch their heart.

Unfortunately... Ye Qian only considered using this guy as a tool.

"Should we send him to recruit the fleeing men?" Italin thought of the role of this city defense officer.

"Okay." Ye Qian nodded with a smile.

"Get up."

Italin looked down at the man, and after hearing his words, she felt a lightness on her back as the city guard stood up.

His gaze fell on Miss Ye Qian, then quickly shifted away, and he said, "Please rest assured, since you have already expressed your allegiance, I will do what I should do."

"Okay, do a good job." Italin gestured to the soldiers beside her to lead him to his tasks.

After seeing that guy off, Ye Qian was about to consider her next move when she suddenly noticed a strange figure appear in her line of sight.

It was a man, but he was extremely tall, holding a long sword, and walking slowly down the narrow street.

The other person kept their eyes fixed on them the whole time, slowly approaching step by step.

The slight curve at the corner of his mouth had an indescribable eeriness to it.

Miss Ye Qian's Danger Perception came very suddenly.

The next moment, the opponent's body broke through the 100-meter distance and rushed in front of him in a short instant.

"Goodbye, incompetent believers in a weak god."

The weapon pierced through Ye Qian's chest in an instant.

But the smile on the man's face vanished the next moment.

"Afterimage?"

Looking down at the weapon in his hand, he realized he hadn't actually hit anything.

He quickly turned to look around, but Ye Qian was nowhere to be seen. Not only her, but Italin had also disappeared.

"How is this possible?" His eyebrows furrowed, and he swung his weapon wildly, attacking his surroundings, but he didn't touch anything.

In the Main World, near Amia.

"Phew, that startled me."

Ye Qian No. 3, who appeared in the forest, patted his chest, almost thinking he had been sent away.

In fact, the moment Danger Perception, she immediately teleported away with Italin.

She had never been so efficient, directly connecting with Amia's power.

Of course, only the Main World can support such a teleportation speed. When teleporting to other places, the efficiency is not so exaggerated.

"My lady, are you alright?" Italin hurriedly and worriedly helped Ye Qian, who was supporting herself against the tree with one hand.

"Fine."

Ye Qian's brows were already furrowed.

Recalling the previous scene, the person who suddenly attacked her seemed to call her... an incompetent weak god believer?

"Who exactly is that guy?"

She fell into thought.

I don't think he's allied with the city's lord.

They're incredibly strong.

Moreover, the way they address each other is also very strange.

What is meant by a weak believer in God, and why is he described as incompetent?

"The opponent's strength should be comparable to that of an advanced user, and it's the kind of explosive killing move."

Turning to look at Italin beside her, Ye Qian sighed and said, "The territory is safe for now. After failing to attack us, that guy killed dozens of soldiers and left the city."

Because of prior preparation, the Mystic Thread actually happened to cross that city.

The man seemed very hostile to their side; upon seeing Ye Qian's army, he killed them without saying a word.

They ran all the way to the south entrance of the city and had already dealt with more than 40 people.

Seeing that soldiers were still chasing after him, the man stopped attacking and turned to run away.

Drop!

[You have been attacked by hostile special units.]

Please be careful.

[Analyzing target information...]

The Player System popped up at that moment.
