It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 607 Lovely's World-Famous Scene

Baigang Town.

Upon receiving the intelligence sent by the scouts via magical communication, Lovely immediately headed to White Harbor.

With the Skywing on high alert in the air, the portable tactical magic device developed by Philica became the greatest guarantee in this situation.

However, just in case, she still called Vimir and Saya, who were wandering around outside, along with them.

"What about the size of the army?"

According to the communication from the magic device, the force heading towards White Harbor Town is a detachment from Lucas's army, consisting of about five thousand men.

"Hmm, what do we do then?"

“They’re here to take control of the whole city,” Lovely quickly judged. “Go contact the garrison officer, quick.”

The three found the garrison in Baigang Town. The officer in charge was stunned after hearing about the size of the enemy, and almost wrote "surrender" on his face.

But they were knights after all, and they would never forget the Fifth Princess's kindness in saving White Harbor. They resolutely accepted the order and put forward their opinions.

After meeting with the garrison officer, Lovely immediately made arrangements for the White Bell Knights and Royal Knights in the city, and went outside to confirm the situation.

"..."

Although the city wall of Baigang Town was repaired after the beast tide, it is still less than six meters high, with only the city gate protruding slightly.

This wall alone cannot stop Lucas's army.

Lovely kept recalling past examples of defeating overwhelming odds. During the beast tide, the beasts were essentially sacrifices; the magical beasts remained outside the city walls and never broke in. When the Hooffire Empire attacked Uncrowned City, setting aside the reasons on Marshal Marcus's side, Uncrowned City's walls were nearly sixty meters high, protected by magical barriers, and could even withstand artillery fire from ancient magical weapons…

Not only were the garrison troops temporarily appointed, but the city walls also only had standing supplies. Even she, the commander, was only transferred here an hour ago.

"Given this situation, how am I supposed to defend against Lucas's army?"

She cursed that nobody a thousand times in her mind. The entire operation was completely unplanned, without any prior preparation. Saya, on the other hand, snorted disdainfully.

"Only five thousand people, I can handle it all by myself."

"Are you serious?"

Lovely could not possibly consider such an unrealistic tactic; from any perspective, the conditions for winning with fewer troops are not present at present.

Saya gripped her spear, looking like she'd been holding back her anger for a long time. "What's there to doubt? I'll go and beat them all down right now, and show that bastard what's what!!"

No sooner had they finished speaking than the three received a report from the garrison that Lucas's army had appeared on the outskirts of the city.

ten minutes later.

The knights of White Harbor Town swallowed hard as they looked at the perfectly aligned army formation on the plains, which stretched out like a vast ocean.

"Hey, are we really going to fight an army like this...?"

"Can't you have some backbone? It's a knight's honor to die on the battlefield! It's even better if the opponent isn't some nobody!"

"Think about it yourselves. If it weren't for the Fifth Princess, your wives and children would have been killed by monsters two years ago."

The local knights in the town were all promoted from the ranks of the official knights, rolling around in the mud. The royal knights were far superior to them in terms of equipment and quality. Seeing that the slender female knights in silver armor stood up straighter than them, many people looked ashamed.

Full of fighting spirit, Sif approached Lovely and said, "Your Highness, Fifth Princess."

Lovely frowned as she stared outside the city. From any perspective, the conditions for a victory against overwhelming odds were not present at the moment.

Even if she arranged for people to bluff, it would be meaningless. This battle was different from the one in the past. Back then, the beast tide was an invasion by the orcs, and the army of White Harbor had to protect their city from the invasion of magical beasts and evil gods. But this time, it was entirely her war, and White Harbor was only providing assistance because they accepted her.

To put it bluntly, if this weren't Baigang Town, the garrison of any other city would have already opened the city gates and handed her over in this situation.

"What does that bastard want me to do?!"

Saya still stood there, looking defiant.

Vimir glanced sideways towards the plains. If it were her, she would probably make the same judgment. She didn't want to hand over this town no matter what. Actually, if she had enough time to chant a spell...

Just as she was considering whether or not to make the suggestion, a purplish-black teleportation channel appeared, and a figure wearing a strange metal mask and a full black coat walked out.

Huh...huh?

Lovely paused for a moment, while Vimiel quickly recognized who it was and also paused belatedly.

"Why...why are you dressed like this?"

"Why else would I be wearing a mask?" the shadowy figure shrugged. "Of course, it's because I don't want to be recognized."

Lovely frowned for five seconds before recognizing the ghostly figure in front of her as Lo Wei, and gave him a disdainful look from head to toe.

"Are you dressed like that to take someone's life?"

"Just came to take a look," Rowe's voice became hollow behind the mask, "Or should I leave?"

"Go away my ass!!"

Upon seeing this, Lovely immediately pulled him down, her belly full of complaints.

"You sent me here with a plan? Now that things are like this, my only option is to fight to the death. I'm already furious!!"

Luo Wei looked outside and nodded, "In this situation, only one person can turn the tide."

"Who?" Lovely asked immediately.

Lo Wei looked at her.

"Who are you?"

The situation was urgent, and she couldn't worry about anything else.

Lo Wei was still looking at her.

It wasn't until Vimir, Saya, and Sif, the leader of the White Bell Knights, all looked at Lovely that she belatedly realized what was happening and paused for a moment.

Lovely: "?"

"???"

""

She was momentarily doubtful, thinking she had misunderstood him. "You can't possibly say that you want me to go into battle against Lucas's five thousand troops, can you?"

Lovely's face twitched, and she laughed at herself as she spoke.

“That’s right.” Luo Wei’s answer was firm. “In this situation, you are our only hope.”

Lovely's expression stiffened for a moment.

He glanced at the sparse garrison and supplies on the city wall, and the knights looking in his direction all wore expressions of bewilderment.

“It’s impossible to defend the city with just this many people. There’s no need to take any chances,” Luo Wei said coldly. “If we hold the city today, there will be 40,000 more attacking tomorrow, so we didn’t let them prepare in the first place.”

"Then what about me??"

Lovely didn't understand. What could she possibly do? She was lucky if she could even handle a slime.

Put her in front of an army and they might run her over without her even realizing it. Do you really think she has some hidden power?!
"You should know that the fate of the entire city now depends on your performance."

Long. Long. Long.

The sound of the orderly marching troops outside the city sent shivers down everyone's spines. Lovely was on the verge of collapse. It wasn't that she couldn't go to the front lines, but she had never heard of letting the army watch her go to the front lines alone.

"I really don't have any awakened power! You want me to risk my life to protect it?!" She doubted herself so much that she almost cried.

“That’s right, I’m asking you to risk your life to protect it.” There was no hint of joking on Luo Wei’s mask.

"!?"

Lovely bit her lip and looked at him hesitantly.

No wonder they never told her the plan or the countermeasures; were they really planning to send her to her death at the last minute?!

The rumbling sound of the marching troops outside the city continued.

"Aren't you furious with Lucas?" Rowe looked at her calmly. "Go ahead."

Lovely saw that his eyes were red, and she clenched her fists and climbed towards the city gate tower. Sif hurriedly followed, but she was pushed away by her.

Faced with the bewildered look in the eyes of the White Bell Knights Commander, Vimir quietly approached Rovi.

"Hmm, you're not really sending Lovely to her death, are you?"

Lo Wei adjusted the drawstrings on the cuffs of his coat.

"You'll find out later."

...On the city gate tower.

Lovely stared at the overwhelming march of soldiers, her red eyes filled with nothing but anger.

Those marching towards Baigang Town were mostly infantrymen. Wearing heavy armor and able to arrive here alongside the main army, they were considered among the best elite troops in the Western Frontier.

And this team has five thousand people.

Compared to the solitary, weak figure on the city gate tower, this army was like a raging tsunami facing an ant, while Lovely stood there with her head held high.

"A world-famous painting!" Lo Wei exclaimed.

"Uh-huh……?"

Vimiel was puzzled.

Facing the overwhelming advance of five thousand troops alone, Lovely stood atop the city gate tower, her slender figure giving others the impression of fearlessness in the face of a thousand soldiers.

And there she saw that repulsive figure again.

"Lofley?"

Lucas pulled on the reins, frowned, and saw the figure on the city gate. He turned his head to look at Scarlett.

Scarlett: “…”

really.

It was indeed the right decision to suggest that the Second Prince bring more troops. This town might have some special significance for the Fifth Princess. She had sent people several times to try to bribe the lord of White Harbor Town with a large sum of money, but all her attempts failed.

And now, the Fifth Princess herself is stationed here.

Several high-ranking military officers who had met earlier that day were also present. They exchanged glances, realizing that they would never have expected to see the Fifth Princess here if it weren't for the Second Prince's insistence on coming.

Lovely took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"You are incredibly audacious—you actually intend to attack human towns, are you?"

Faced with the voice coming from the magical device, Lucas narrowed his eyes coldly on horseback, not understanding what she was trying to do.

He spurred his horse forward a few steps and said, "I didn't expect a puppet of a foreign race like you to come to a place like this on your own initiative. Do you think it's not easy for us to capture you?"

He looked the city defenses up and down. This level of fortification could be breached by just a few dozen soldiers. There were hardly any people stationed on the city walls. Choosing this place to garrison was almost like choosing a graveyard.

Has she lost her mind after being brainwashed by an astrologer from another race?
"Catch me?"

Lovely stood on the city wall, seething with rage. "You mean you want to storm the human city under the jurisdiction of the fifth princess of the Lion Garden Kingdom and forcibly take me away—are you planning to become rebels?"

She spoke forcefully, enunciating each word clearly.

The reaction from the army was as quiet as it had been in front of the valley during the day, and Lucas smiled contemptuously.

"Leaving aside when this town became your territory, what face do you have to call yourself the legitimate ruler when you're a scourge of a kingdom that colludes with foreign races?"

Lovely, however, paid no heed to his words.

"Say what you want, it's your mouth to say what you want," she said, lowering her head before raising it again. "Now I'm issuing my ultimatum—"

Ultimatum.

The word made Lucas sneer. Up to now, there were less than two hundred people stationed on the city wall. When the city falls and everyone dies, do you think you can conjure up an army out of thin air?

"One of the six heads of the Western Frontier, Duke Ferdinand, is that right?"

Lovely looked at an elderly general with white hair and a sprightly gait in the army formation, who simply and calmly reined in his warhorse.

"I don't care what your grievances are in the Western Territory. You ignored the royal city's pleas for help, disregarded the suffering of over a million people in Melendale, and now you're using the pretext of fighting against alien races to follow Lucas's army south. Now you even plan to directly invade the human cities in the southern territory—"

She spoke with a very firm tone, as if she were pronouncing a crime.

"Mere nobles, now they even dare to touch the princess. Very well, since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. You've brought your native troops with you, haven't you? Then the Western Territory must be quite vulnerable right now."

"If you dare to invade the city—I will immediately order the Grand Duke of the North to send troops from the east to destroy your manors, wipe out your families, and strip you of your titles! You enjoy insubordination and disregard the lives of ordinary people and their loved ones, don't you? Then you'll have to wait for the consequences."

“The moment you step into this city, I swear I will order the Grand Duke to raze the entire Western Territory!”

The princess's vow, words like thunder.

This scene shocked some of the lower-ranking nobles present, because the Fifth Princess's tone did not seem fake, while the more mature officers looked doubtful.

"Heh, I thought you were going to say..."

"Shut up!!" Lovely roared from the city wall, her voice amplified by the magical device, completely overwhelming Lucas's imposing aura. "I also want to ask the temple's reinforcements: from fighting alien races to attacking human towns, is this how you maintain world order?! I will file a serious complaint with the temple headquarters about this!"

"This……"

The angel of the Temple of War hesitated, glancing at the second prince who was suppressing his anger.

They were indeed dispatched on the pretext of Prince Lion's Garden to fight against the alien races. It was not unusual for the legion to make a brief stop in human cities, and they were rarely refused.

On the other hand, both Vimir and the knights of White Harbor cast admiring glances at Lovely, for the Fifth Princess's aura was simply too fierce and worthy of respect.

I finally got my revenge!
Despite being just one person, he forcefully suppressed the army of five thousand men outside the city.

Luo Wei leaned against the back of the city gate with his arms crossed and smiled knowingly. This was probably what they called a moment of glory—how could this brat let himself be slaughtered?

The morale of the garrison in Baigang Town was also boosted. They stood tall and proud on the city wall, looking as if they were determined to live and die with the Fifth Princess. Their passion reached its peak at this moment.

If you want to harm the Fifth Princess, you'll have to cross our lines first!
Lucas's army was intimidated.

Scarlett watched this scene intently. The Fifth Princess was undoubtedly among the most talented; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to devour their territory so thoroughly in the battle for the royal city. Unlike the standoff in front of the valley during the day, they did lack sufficient credibility in conquering human towns, so for now...

"send troops."

Lucas's voice came coldly.

Seeing his lowered head and barely concealed anger, Scarlett immediately pulled her horse to her side.

“Your Highness,” she said, composed herself, “sending troops now is not a good choice; the soldiers in the Western Frontier will waver.”

“Don’t we have a reserve force?” Lucas said, raising his bloodshot eyes. “Otherwise, what was the point of us going through all this trouble to bring these people here?”

Scarlett hesitated for a moment.

"I see."

She ultimately dared not disobey the prince too much, and this was indeed one of the solutions in their plan for this trip.

The knights were ordered to relay the message, and soon a dark mass of figures surged up from the rear of the Western Army, sweeping in like mud and rocks flowing from the mountains.

The group of about two thousand people spread out of the knights' formation and gathered together in a rather undisciplined manner.

"I am the fifth princess of the Lion Garden—"

Lovely delivered his speech from the city gate tower, ignoring the newly arrived reinforcements and sternly advising them to lay down their weapons and surrender, or face the consequences.

However, these men ignored her. After receiving instructions from Lucas, the leading general rode his horse around the army with his weapons raised.

Then this military force began to move.

Lovely stared wide-eyed, somewhat panicked. She raised her voice and, as if to prove her fearlessness, climbed down from the city wall and ordered the knights to open the city gates, standing alone on the connecting pier.

"I will never forgive those who have committed crimes, and all attempts to harm me will be punished!!"

The other side responded to her words with a charge.

And as the people in front shouted, Lovely stood there resolutely, but as the army drew closer, her eyes began to show some panic.

She watched the soldiers draw ever closer, until they reached the gate bridge of White Harbor, filled with fear but summoning her last shred of courage.

She closed her eyes tightly.

"me……"

"I am the fifth princess of the Lion Garden!!"

A dozen soldiers rushed toward her, but just as they were about to touch her, a figure pulled her behind him, revealing a strange mask and a long black coat.

Lovi drew the Sword of Life-Severing from his cloak.

He then coldly said, "Demon God Transformation, Domain Liberation, Outer God Realm."

——————Thump.

The next moment, darkness enveloped the earth.
