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

Chapter 608 Baby Saya was overjoyed
The change happened suddenly.

Lucas was sneering as Lovely stood at the city gates wide open when a black light suddenly enveloped the earth and sky, as if someone had suddenly smashed down a huge black plate.

The next moment, a bright gray light rose rapidly in the darkness, the rushing scene like the end of the world, crackling with the sound of matter being annihilated.

"True Extraterrestrial Wave Sword"

At that moment, the holy sword of the goddess of life plunged into the earth, and dense spots of light flashed across the surface.

Subsequently.

Boom! A fan-shaped wave of light shot into the sky, covering hundreds of meters of the earth's surface like a falling star, creating an apocalyptic spectacle.

Lovely clung tightly to the coat of the person in front of her, the strong wind whipping her brocade robes as if she had fallen into a blinding light.

The town of White Harbor trembled along with the ground. The knights on the city walls steadied themselves, all looking up in disbelief, holding their breath as they watched the light ascend to the heavens.

What's this??!
The powerful aftershocks also shook the western army. Lucas also raised his arms to shield himself, and under Scarlett's protection, he let out an incredulous sound.

"Varied……"

The impact lasted for more than ten seconds.

As the light gradually faded, Scarlett lowered her cloak and saw the completely shattered earth and the eerie sight of the city gate still shrouded in darkness.

There, on the pier, a masked figure shielded the Fifth Princess behind him, holding a sword as if standing on the surface of a black, still lake.

Scarlett: “…”

This is not realistic.

This is hard to imagine happening in the real world... How could this be?

Of the two thousand troops they sent out to attack, almost half disappeared near the city gate. Only a few hundred survived on the outskirts. The ground was littered with corpses. The remaining soldiers abandoned all dignity, abandoning their armor and weapons, and ran back home crying and screaming.

"..."

A sense of dread rose within the knights for no apparent reason. Gazing at the scene before them, it was as if they were not in the real world.

Lovely had her eyes tightly shut and hadn't recovered yet. When she slowly opened them, she realized that Lowe was in front of her.

"Huh? Where are they?"

"They probably went to a very far place," Rowe said with a shrug, his eyes fixed on the direction of Lucas's army.

The knights on the city wall leaned out to check the situation below, only to realize that the commotion had been made by the masked man.

"He...what did he do?"

"Hmph, it probably rewrote the laws of the world!"

"???"

The knights dared not touch the city walls, which had been completely stained black, and then looked at the long, dark golden-haired girl who had just introduced them with surprise.

You didn't do it, so why are you so proud?
Wait...where have I seen this girl before?
"Aren't you... that little girl from the Church of Prayer? You healed me during the beast tide two years ago!"

"What? It's her!?"

Then everyone looked at Saya, who was standing to the side indifferent and silent, and she seemed somewhat familiar.

This startled the knights. The heroes who saved White Harbor two years ago had returned? And they hadn't even recognized them?

"...!"

So, could the person protecting the Fifth Princess at the city gate be...?

"Love Brook???"

……

The direction of the western border army formation.

Lucas glared furiously at the scene, his expression contorted with rage. How could such a thing exist in this world—an army of two thousand men vanished in an instant?!

There must have been a trap laid underground beforehand, that must be it!

“Your Highness,” Scarlett reminded him from her horse, “Your Highness.”

Lucas turned around indignantly.

Scarlett calmly suggested, "The other side may have other schemes. This is not a strategic location, and we don't necessarily have to take this town today."

She looked back and saw that the army's morale had begun to waver, with the influence of the Fifth Princess's words being particularly evident.

Lucas keenly understood the meaning behind her words.

This is not the place we absolutely must take today. Besides, they just arrived at the front line today, and there are still many arrangements to be made.

"It doesn't matter, let's see how long she can hold onto this town."

After the order to withdraw the troops was given, Scarlett lowered her head gratefully. The lord she served was still willing to listen to advice. They were both royals, only their personalities were different from those of the Fifth Princess.

The angelic warriors of the Temple of War took one last look in the direction of the city gate as they retreated.

"..."

……

Upon seeing the Second Prince's army begin to retreat, a joyful cheer erupted from the city wall.

But what made Vimiel happy was different from what others were happy about.

"That's great...everyone still remembers him..."

Having confirmed that the crisis was over, Luo Wei also came up with Love Li, who was still in a daze and had not fully recovered.

After he handed her over to Sif, a group of knights immediately came up to greet him.

"Did you really do that?!"

"When did you get back? I still remember the scene of you winning the elite tournament!"

"Haha, we fought against the Machine God Cult together, remember?"

A crowd gathered around. After finishing her duties overseeing the Adventurers' Guild, Cirrus bumped into Marin, who was coming from the other direction, at the corner of the city gate. The two exchanged a glance and went their separate ways, but their eyes eventually met again.

The same thought popped into their minds at the same time.

'Is that Lowell Brooke?'

After cleaning up the marks left on the city wall, Lovely returned, led by Sif.

She glared at Luo Wei and kicked him.

"So this is how you plotted against me? To make me say those things to shake Lucas's army?"

"You've done a pretty good job, haven't you?" Luo Wei laughed.

"You're something else!" Lovely bit and gnawed at him. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand! You wanted me to improvise at the last minute before I was about to die?!"

Luo Wei helplessly shrugged, but did not resist.

"If I had told you beforehand, would you still have been able to deliver such a moving speech?"

"Ugh...!"

Vimiel nodded, as if she understood perfectly.

You're nodding your head like that! However, when Lovely looked around, she found that everyone else thought she was really going to her death, and even Sif looked at her with admiration.

"..."

“To be honest, I really admired you back then,” Sif said, her eyes sparkling. “I am once again certain that I have no regrets about following you.”

“Alright, alright, those were the things I wanted to say anyway,” Lovely said, feeling a bit awkward. “It was just that my emotions got the better of me.”

“Mmm…!” Vimir nodded. “But it was indeed despicable!” *Zzzzzzzzzzzzz*

She trembled and collapsed on the city wall, and Lovely looked at Rowe with disdain, her lips quivering.

"You weren't planning on coming over yet?! You piece of trash, are you really just going to watch me die?! What if the enemy attacks first? I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!!"

"Didn't you bring Saya with you?" Rowe asked, shrugging.

Saya stood there, her face as cold as ice.

“What do you mean?” Lovely glanced at her and said, “You were planning to have Saya come to rescue me?”

Luo Wei shook his head helplessly at her words, and said with difficulty, "You don't really think that army of seven thousand can stop her, do you?"

"?"

After he finished speaking, he walked to the side, leaving Lovely standing there in a state of confusion.

The remaining people all looked at Saya, who seemed a little stunned, and then reluctantly crossed her arms and turned to the side.

"…snort."

Vimiel: (@﹏@)
After Lucas withdrew his troops, White Harbor immediately returned to its original state. This time, the garrison spontaneously began to defend the city walls and moved defensive supplies up there.

Although their strength is meager, they now hope to be of use in the battle for the Fifth Princess.

Meanwhile, Luo Wei and the others returned to the command post at the West District mansion and used a tactical magic device to confirm the situation in the valley.

"Lucas's army will attack the valley this evening, right? Three times in one day, he really has a lot of confidence in the quality of his soldiers."

“There’s no need to worry about the valley,” Rowe said, removing his disguise. “It’s fine even if we don’t go there.”

Lovely gave him a disdainful look.

"You're not planning to sell Artana too, are you?"

"That's not true."

"?"

So you're just bullying me, huh?

"You just wait, once this crisis is over, I'll skin you alive! I'll remember this for the rest of my life!!!"

“I’ll remember this for the rest of my life,” Rowe said, raising his voice as he mimicked her, “'I am the fifth princess of the Lion's Den!'”

He was quickly punished for saying those words, receiving a combination of kicks and punches that pinned him under the table.

But it was of no use.

The magical warship had recorded what she saw, and Lovi planned to frame it.

Vimir, now recovered, reached out and wiped the sweat from her brow.

Whew... Even though I didn't do anything, it still felt so thrilling.

Just in case, the group decided to return to the valley to avoid any unexpected situations. By the time they finished talking with Attana about their situation, it was almost dusk.

"Looking at it this way, the second prince must be having a tough time..."

The speaker was Anai Ning. She had been looking rather listless lately, perhaps because she had lost to Shaye in training. She seemed a bit annoyed.

Luo Wei pursed his lips, seemingly lost in thought.

They really are dropping bombs one after another.

If any one of the three—Saya, Anai, and Molly—were thrown out, it would be a catastrophic disaster for Lucas's army.

what about me?
Vimir looked at him as if she sensed something.

Lo Wei knew them like the back of his hand: "Aren't you and Saya just clueless and grumpy?"

Vimiel: ()
Although I didn't receive any of what was said, I had a feeling that I was being treated like a mascot...

As they chatted, the enemy's horn sounded outside. Lucas was about to appear before them for the third time today, his army besieging the city. Unlike the teleportation channel from White Harbor to the valley, this second prince was personally leading the army on the long and arduous journey, which was quite a feat for him.

"Then what do we do?" Ayining asked.

It was almost dusk.

“Nothing much,” Rowe said, leaning back on the carpet. “If you want to see something, go to the city wall. Eat, drink, and play as you please. You’ll get used to this kind of life.”

"?"

Ayi stared at him intently for a moment.

You'll get used to it...

What means?
……

The valley echoes with mournful cries, above the city walls.

Artana listened as the second prince of Lion's Nest shouted from the front lines, uttering almost every vile word he could think of, and attributing the previous fall of the star to a heretical astrologer in the valley who was skilled at sowing discord and using evil magic, capable of bringing misfortune directly to this land.

“Oh…” Mena looked expectant, as if hoping the other person would say more.

"..."

Attana pursed her lips, unsure of what to do, but she chose to ignore the second prince's harsh words.

Seeing no response, Lucas, who had been shouting from below for a long time, launched an attack on the valley at dusk after issuing two ultimatums.

Just a few meters behind Arttana, Goodman and Urs sat facing each other on the edge of the city wall, with an old-fashioned chessboard between them.

“Your turn, hehe…” Goodman chuckled.

Urs held the chess piece for a moment, then finished thinking and made his move.

Just then, a high-arc magic cannon struck the two of them from below, and was then absorbed by the dark purple protective barrier above.

Goodman hesitated, holding the chess piece.

Without looking at the exploding shells overhead, he casually chose a place to place his piece and said, "Your barrier is quite useful."

“Of course,” Urs said casually, glancing up at the screen. “If it weren’t useful, I wouldn’t have set it up in the first place.”

However, when he looked down, he discovered that two of his pieces were missing from the chessboard.

Urs: "..."

Goodman then made his move, exclaiming, "A brilliant game!"

Urs looked at the chessboard and felt ashamed of his inferiority. He smiled helplessly and then glanced at Artana, who was constantly watching the barrier.

"There's no need to worry too much about the battle situation; I can sense the damage to the barrier in real time."

At this moment, Ayining and the others also arrived at the city wall to check the situation. Listening to the continuous cannon fire and the sound of catapults throwing stones, they happened to hear the conversation between the two.

She came to the Mother Goddess's side and then looked at the two people sitting there, still in the mood to play chess.

"How long can this barrier last?"

“Not long,” Urs said, glancing over here, “not by your human standards.” He had no intention of playing chess with Goodman anymore.

"What's the specific time?"

Seeing how specific their questions were, the banished demon god composed himself, his eyes revealing intricately carved demon god patterns.

"If the current rate of damage continues—"

He looked up and checked again.

"About ten years."
