Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead Chapter 49 - 49

Chapter 49:

"Kr, Kri, Lord Krid??"

"How,"

How did he??

How did he just drop dead like that?!

Witnessing the fortress commander, corroded entirely by the black liquid, turning into a pool of blood,

The nearby Galros soldiers were terrified, their eyes shaking, as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

It was indeed hard to accept that a commanding officer could just die so inexplicably from an Abyssal demon attack.

'Are you kidding ?!'

However,

This sudden strike also jolted the soldiers back to their senses, and they looked at the encroaching black tide of demons in sheer terror! Although it was hard to believe, the Abyssal demons seed to be warning them with their actions:

'-You bunch of lowlifes! Don't you dare ignore us!-'

Reality proved,

The enemy would not grant them enough ti to talk.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure from the approaching Abyssal demon horde, ng Xi bit her lip and hurriedly looked at the vice leader, who was already sowhat dazed nearby.

"What are you still dawdling for?!!"

"Huh?!!"

After being yelled at by ng Xi, the vice leader suddenly snapped back to reality, looking at the masked silver-haired girl in astonishnt.

"Are you, are you talking to... to ?"

"Of course! Aren't you second in command?! Krid that bastard is dead! You're in charge now! Hurry up and activate the city-protecting array! Otherwise, everyone will die!"

"oh.., yes!!"

Hearing ng Xi's words, the vice leader suddenly realized the urgency of the situation. Ignoring whether ng Xi and the others were infected, and the matter of Krid's death, she quickly shouted with the help of magic at a high-ranking mage within the fortress:

"Mr. Abimo! Hurry up and activate the city-protecting magic!"

"Hmm?"

After receiving the order,

The man nad Abimo, a middle-aged man with a strange hairstyle , imdiately inserted the magic array in his hands into the array eye on the ground! Almost all his magic power, as a sixth-tier peak mage, was channeled into the array eye through his staff!

'High-level Magic - Haro's Heavy Magic Barrier!'

The man began chanting the spell.

In an instant, as the blue magic power surged wildly, a magic array constructed of deep blue runes abruptly erged above the ground! As the magic power flowed further, the light from the magic array grew brighter!

At the sa ti, dozens of fifth-tier mages who had just rushed to the city wall from the rear, upon seeing the formation of the blue array, knelt down without a word, their hands touching the ground, directly channeling all their power into the city wall!

"hu~~"

The already-charged magic devices also emitted strong magic power fluctuations. Guided by the magic array, the power of the mages and the energy stored in the magic devices were completely released at this mont, pouring ceaselessly into the city wall!

As the power continued to flood in, and with the further chanting of the mages, blue magic runes were imdiately drawn on the surface of the wall!

As the incantation erged, a deep blue light barrier suddenly shot up from the ground, forming around the periter of the city walls, and abruptly enveloping the entire Galos Fortress within it!

The mont the city defense array was activated,

Under the anxious gazes of everyone, the black tidal wave ford by the Abyssal demons fiercely collided with the light barrier!

"Boom! Boom! ~~"

In an instant, a series of resounding collision sounds violently reached everyone's ears! The surging, overwhelming force of shadows ceaselessly battered the blue magic barrier, as the Abyssal demons' sharp fangs and claws madly attacked it.

The barrier, when attacked, didn't back down and released a massive amount of lightning , forcing many Abyssal demons to retreat in succession.

The weaker ones were even directly turned into charred corpses.

Despite this, the horde of demons showed no signs of fear and continued their relentless assault on the barrier!

Various horrifying and heart-pounding sounds echoed all around,

The oppressive feeling brought by the countless Abyssal demons made everyone in the Galos Fortress hold their breath, as the entire fortress was swallowed by the demons' murderous and boiling roars.

However,

No matter what, judging from the current situation,

This city defense array, prepared for hundreds of years, had co in handy, temporarily blocking the attack of the Abyssal demons with the more than 50 ters high barrier released along the walls. Although it was unclear how long they could hold out, they were safe for the ti being.

Seeing this,

The vice leader, who had been tense for a long ti, finally let out a long sigh of relief, kneeling down on the ground as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Due to the presence of the magic array, the defenders couldn't launch a large-scale bombardnt against the demon horde. What she needed to do now was maintain the magic array as much as possible, and hold out until reinforcents arrived.

Of course,

The prerequisite was that if no higher-ranked Abyssal demons appeared.

If that happened, whether the city's magic defenses could withstand the attack would be an unknown factor...

On the other side,

After Krimde's death,

The remaining vice leader, out of fear for the influence of the Asumos Church, didn't continue to give Ming xi and the others a hard ti.

After casually summoning a mage to verify that there was no trace of the shadowy force on their bodies, she agreed to let them enter the fortress.

Although the crisis was far from over,

For these knights of the Church, they had already escaped the jaws of death Twice, and their hearts were filled with joy from surviving this disaster.

Of course,

Except for one person – Ming Xi.

At this mont, a hint of joy was present in ng xi's light purple eyes, but even more so, there was an indescribable heaviness.

As she was about to follow the city guards down the walls, she couldn't help but look back at the terrifying horde of Abyssal demons surging in from the distance. The silver-haired girl's eyes narrowed slightly.

'Strange...'

Sothing was really off.

From the mont the Abyssal demon horde used that black lasers to attack the mages casting spells, it was clear that they had long-range attack capabilities! They couldn't possibly be the type to seek close combat like fools.

'But, if that was the case?'

So why Didn't they use long-range attacks when they chased us before? If they had used that kind of skill earlier, we would have undoubtedly been in great danger.

'Also, aren't those abyssal demons a bit strange?'

After calming down,

ng Xi carefully recalled the details of the previous chase,

It was fine not to recall,

Once recalled, ng Xi's brows furrowed even tighter,

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but those abyssal demons seed to have almost caught up with them several tis, yet they inexplicably fell behind again.

It felt like the monsters were acting or holding back for so reason.

'No, no, no! Impossible!? What am I thinking!'

ng Xi couldn't help but shake her head wildly, trying to get rid of the unrealistic thoughts in her mind.

Abyssal demons should be irrational,

It's impossible for them to think so much...

'But,'

It's really strange, isn't it?

Moreover,

The last attack on Krid,

Why choose krid out of so many people? That guy clearly hadn't released his fighting spirit yet.

It feels like they were trying to help us...

The more she thought about it, the more confused ng Xi beca.

The pink-haired girl in her arms had an increasingly subtle expression...

Just as ng Xi was struggling,

Gasping for breath, Garona quickly ca to ng Xi's side,

"Captain, what should we do now?"

'Huh?'

Garona's words temporarily pulled ng Xi out of her tangled thoughts,

Her mind returned to the real world.

Looking at the extrely embarrassed teammates in front of her, and the two remaining knights of the Asumos Church behind them, ng Xi couldn't help but sigh,

'Yeah,'

'Now is not the ti to think about those questions,'

With that in mind, ng Xi took a deep breath and gave a serious order,

"Galona, you've all exhausted yourselves. Go rest and drink so recovery potions to regain your strength."

"Yes, but, Captain? What about you?"

"As for ,"

ng Xi said, looking down at the battered pink-haired girl in her arms. The girl seed to sense ng Xi's gaze, slowly raised her head, and stared at ng Xi with her beautiful eyes like blue sapphires, blinking innocently.

Her eyes seed to have lost the initial vigilance,

What was left was a touch of innocence and curiosity,

"As for , I'll take this child for treatnt first. Otherwise, I'm afraid her wounds will worsen."
