Chapter 257 Escaped Cress

Cress is not good at commanding battles, so she just sits at the back of the army, constantly listening to battle reports from the front line.

Wave after wave of attacks on the city were constantly being defused. Although the opponent was caught off guard, they quickly adjusted and defended with all their strength. Cress frowned: "This is not right."

Vincent, who was following her, raised his eyelids: "What's wrong?"

No one answered him, Cress was lost in thought, while others simply ignored him.

This situation has not happened once or twice, and Vincent has long been used to it. Cress's true confidants are all from the demon clan. They probably have different hearts if they are not from my clan. These demon clan people look down on him and ignore him.

It's just a commonplace meal.

No one would pay too much attention to a "male favorite", not to mention that in the eyes of the demons, all humans are inferior, so naturally no one wants to pay attention to him.

Cress looked solemn: "That's not right. They should have been out of shape for a long time to support them in such a high-intensity battle. How did they do it?"

A day and a night have passed, and the human race is still very tight in defense, and it can even be felt that they still have some strength left.

Was it because she miscalculated the human kingdom's army or was it due to other reasons?

"Vincent," she suddenly looked at Vincent with a solemn expression, "you once told me that the human army only has one granary."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Vincent, who had been ignored by everyone, focused countless eyes on him. He looked calm and nodded slowly: "That's right."

He will not lie about these things, because Cress also has spies in the human race, and such lies will be exposed immediately.

"Then why was the human army not affected?" someone immediately asked.

Vincent did not panic when he was questioned. He only raised an eyebrow and said slowly: "How would I know?"

Yes, how could he know that he was just an outsider, only taking care of trivial matters, and what their arrangements and plans had to do with him.

"I'm not doubting you," Cress said softly, "but our plan must have been leaked. Do you have any clues?"

Not doubting him? This is a bit ridiculous to say.

Of course he had a clue, but how could he say it simply: "Is this what's important now?"

Now that the situation is a foregone conclusion, their priority is what to do now.

Kress knew very well that she had no way out. She just thought about it for a short moment, then raised her head, her charming eyebrows filled with seriousness: "Destroy the city at all costs and attract the attention of the human army. Let's go."

She was not in a good mood. Although the soldiers were from the human race, she had to keep the commander she brought from the demon race who was good at directing battles. In other words, this man would be sacrificed.

But it’s impossible not to leave this person behind. Once there is no commander, the army will be in disarray and will not be able to delay much time.

The commander also understood this very well. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, it is my fate to die in battle."

If she didn't understand the principle of reluctance, it would be impossible for Cress to climb to this position of the demon clan, so she took a deep breath: "I understand, you have to try to delay as long as possible."

After the explanation, Cress laughed at herself and came in high spirits, but then left like a lost dog. Anyone else would be dissatisfied.

The commander said: "The people on the abandoned road are walking with you."

Cress understood that people on the abandoned road could be thrown out as abandoned objects when necessary, so she immediately replied without any hesitation: "Okay, let them go together."

A small team of several hundred people secretly broke away from the rear of the army and ran for their lives.

Vincent followed Cress like a quiet shadow. His identity was awkward and he would never speak unless necessary to avoid attracting other people's attention.

It was supposed to be a smooth journey, but it encountered a trap. The horse of the person who was leading the way suddenly jumped forward and fell directly into a deep pit. There should be sharp objects placed at the bottom. Only the tragic sound of falling was heard.

The shouting stopped abruptly.

He raised his hand to protect Cress, took out his wand, and directly cast shield magic to resist the rain of arrows falling from the sky. Then he watched Cress's people form a protective circle, sandwiching him and Cress.

.

Hmm... protecting Cress is the main thing. He is just a casual one, or he is shameless. According to other people's thoughts, they probably prefer that he be shot to death by random arrows.

"Has our whereabouts been leaked?" Cress asked with a tense face. If it was the human army ambushing here, they would really be finished this time.

Vincent took a look from afar: "It's the gangsters in the city."

Kress's people quickly recognized who they were and cursed secretly: "These rogues are very annoying."

Isn't it annoying? Whether it's the people on the abandoned road or these gangsters, they are all cockroaches and rats. They can't be seen in the light and can't be killed. In the middle of the night, they still come out to steal something.

At this time, he didn't bother to ask why these gangsters were ambushing here. The most important thing was to rush over. Cress said: "It's just ordinary people, magicians setting up formations!"

There are not many magicians on Kress's side. They are all people she brought from the Demon Clan. Although the people on the abandoned avenue also learned magic, their learning time was too short and they only learned elementary magic, which is different from Kress.

Lace people don't form formations well.

But the opponent's magic came faster, and Cress's people had to interrupt the magic.

"How come there is a magician in the gang?" Cress asked sharply, feeling that something was out of her control.

Yes, she didn't understand how common people could have magicians, but Vincent knew very well that Cress didn't take the eldest daughter of the old aristocracy seriously, and she suffered backlash after all.

"Let's immediately find out where these magicians come from," said Cress's investigator.

"No, we shouldn't stay here for a long time. If the Royal Army catches up, we won't be able to leave," Vincent said to Cress, pointing pointedly at the people on the abandoned avenue where the gangs were fighting, "Get rid of them.

let's go."

That's right, wasn't that the plan when she was willing to take the people from the abandoned avenue with her? So Cress nodded and adopted Vincent's suggestion: "Do as he said and prepare a large-scale wind movement magic.

"

The combined power of a few magicians can make a dozen people move in the air, but more people can't do it. With the people from the abandoned avenue standing in front of them, Cress's confidants can smoothly cast their magic, taking Cress and Vincent with them.

Special lift.

After confirming that Cress was out of danger, the person in charge of the rear shouted to the people on the abandoned road: "Hold on, we will come to pick you up when we get Lady Cress to a safe place."

This is a promise that is not intended to be fulfilled. People who believe it will naturally fight hard to kill the enemy. People who don’t believe it... What can people who don’t believe it do? They are already in the game. What else can they do besides trying to survive?

No matter what, the principle of making the best use of people is achieved.
