"Bruce, someone from another land has told me that your father, Lord Lawrence, is not in the city. He is currently leading the Sixth Garrison Regiment to Turner City."
"Your mother and brother are in the Central District. The city walls are still under the control of the city guards, and the foreigners in the Turner City area are organizing forces to counterattack the out-of-control East District from outside the city. You can rest assured."
As Bruce took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, Chrissy offered her own assurances.
"Bruce, don't worry. Once the supply convoy catches up and the foreigners have rested, I will immediately lead them towards Turner City."
It only takes half a day to get from the town to Turner City.
"Also, this time I brought the latest weapons from the Ordnance Research Institute."
This is also the reason why Chris had to wait for the supply convoy to catch up with them. She led her men on a rapid march away from the supply convoy and rushed here just to prevent the situation in Turner City from worsening.
"Okay, Bruce, go and rest for a while."
Looking at Bruce, who used to be elegant and handsome, but now looked pale and had an impatience that he could hardly suppress, Chris gave him a concerned instruction.
If Bruce himself was not a silver-level swordsman, Chris would be worried that due to the impact of the rapid march and anxiety, she would be short of a subordinate who could handle government affairs before returning to Wade City.
So before Bruce wanted to shake his head and refuse to say that it was okay, Chris put on a serious face and said.
"Bruce Lawrence, as the Lord of Vader City, I am ordering my Minister of Commerce to rest."
"...yes."
Bruce was silent for a moment before nodding. He glanced worriedly at the eastern sky and turned to walk towards the town.
"Really? You're already such a grown-up, but you still don't know how to take care of your body and need others to urge you."
After watching Bruce leave, the serious expression on Chris's face just disappeared, and she heard Yuni's voice in her ears.
"Your Highness, what about you?"
"what?"
Chris turned around and saw her head maid, who was looking at her coldly with an expressionless face.
"Your Highness, you are just like Lord Bruce. You haven't slept at all. Can't you pay attention to your body?"
"a ha ha ha...."
Under the pressure of Yuni's gaze, Chris could only nod her head with a wry smile and hunch her shoulders awkwardly.
"I understand. I'll go take a rest now."
Leng Li's head maid followed Chris silently, as if she was escorting her. After accompanying Chris into the room, she turned around, closed the door and left.
As the sun reached mid-sky, the supply convoy from Wade City finally caught up with the main force and entered the town.
Along with them came a group of stragglers whose bodies were picked up by the city guards along the way and who came back online after a good rest.
When Chris woke up from her sweet sleep, walked out of the hotel in the town and came to the outside of the town.
Just then, I saw more than 10,000 players gathering again to face the upcoming battle.
While complaining about the lack of teleportation and Hearthstone in the game, this group of players were excitedly discussing with their companions the latest battlefield updates posted by Turner City players on the forum, as well as some live broadcasts in the live streaming rooms.
Thanks to these players, even though I had just woken up and hadn't had time to check the forum for the latest news about Her Royal Highness, I was able to easily learn about the latest developments in Turner City.
From yesterday till now, Turner City has gone through a very long day for the residents.
Chris didn't know how much food contaminated with the evil god's aura was secretly transported into the city, and whether there were other places besides Turner City.
While Chris was just having a headache, the residents of Turner City had already felt the harm caused by this trouble.
Even the clergy of various churches can only use divine power to identify some residents who have consumed too much contaminated food.
And some of them may have just tasted it, but their souls have already been marked by the evil god. The breath is too weak for ordinary clergy to find the hidden danger in them.
As the killing spree launched by the Khorne followers in the city became more and more grand, the bloody smell that filled the city streets began to attract the attention of the evil god from outer space.
Under such circumstances, the residents whose souls were marked eventually turned into monsters, causing trouble to the rear and making the entire city even more panic-stricken.
"Your Highness!"
Chris, who had just woken up, could clearly understand these developments from the players. Bruce, who woke up earlier than her, was already anxious at this time.
This young man, who usually paid great attention to his appearance and clothing, almost rushed to Chris without caring about his image in the eyes of those female players.
"I understand."
Chris didn't waste any time. When Bruce wanted to report, she raised her hand to indicate that she already knew.
"Bruce, you will command the Fourth City Guards and take a few Stranger Regiments with you as the advance force to Turner City."
"Yes!"
As the son of Earl Lawrence, Bruce is the best diplomat. I believe that without too much negotiation, Bruce can lead his army into Turner City.
After all, in this world that is more like a medieval feudal social system, if a noble leads his troops into the other noble's fiefdom without the other noble's permission, it can be regarded as launching an unjust war.
Soon, Bruce selected several player groups and headed towards Turner City.
Chris, standing on the town wall, retracted her gaze and looked down at the supply convoy under the wall.
The thoughtful head maid had already made all preparations for her before she woke up.
The elite members of several top player guilds in Vader City, such as the Knights of the Sun, the Knights of the Guard, and the Sword of Akshay, have been summoned early.
Now they were fiddling with the stick-like weapons in their hands in an open space outside the town under the sun.
PS: Two thousand words are usually used as a supplement, and four thousand words is the minimum for the day. This is the minimum for today. I will write it out after I finish dinner.
Chapter 156:38 Playing with Guns Before the Throne of Khorne
Streets in Turner City, East District.
"How is the situation now?"
Flat-breasted Saigao bit the bandage with her mouth, pulled it tight with her other hand to make a knot, and stuffed the cloth strip in.
As a warrior, when the enemy comes, he will naturally fight with Doujiang, Loli and the best three.
So after a whole morning of fighting, wounds could be seen all over his body, but fortunately he didn't lose any limbs.
"Star Wanderer led other player guilds in an attempt to attack the East City Gate, but was taught a lesson by those mad dogs. They are now resting up, while the leaders of several major guilds in Turner City have gathered to discuss how to retake the city gate area."
As a mage, Cherry Cat's mana tube was already empty at this time, and she was winding up her own gun.
"Well, I think by the time they take back the city gate area, our side will have already fallen."
Doujiang and Lolita, who were both slacking off, squatted down and hid behind the cover, saying helplessly to their companions.
After a long night, as soon as they came online, they found that a bloody mist began to spread over Turner City.
And in this blood mist, the evil god's lackeys became stronger and, of course, more cruel, more like a mad dog - although Khorne's believers have always been known for being brainless, their master is obviously not like that.
Perhaps it was because while shouting "Skulls to the throne", these mad dogs accidentally offered their own brains as well.
Doujiang, who was slacking off, complained in his mind about the group of evil gods' lackeys outside the street, and couldn't help but sigh.
He looked up and around the street.
After a night and a morning of fighting, even though the residents of this street seemed to be from a gray area, almost everyone was injured.
With sad faces, they calmly gathered the bodies of their companions, piled them together and sprinkled them with holy water.
"I think we need to break out."
"What do you mean?" Cherry Cat turned around and stood up, pulled the trigger, watched the crossbow arrow shoot into the head of a lackey, then turned over and squatted again.
"If this continues, this place will fall sooner or later. We need to rush out and at least spread the news that there are still people alive here."
Following their companions' gaze, Cherry Cat and the others also saw the group of children hiding in the safest and most solid house.
This is a game... They all sighed in their hearts at the same time, but couldn't help but imagine the ending of these children.
"I feel like I'm a serious internet addict."
Cherry Cat said this in self-deprecating tone, but this dashing female player immediately showed her skill as a diplomat outside the adventure team.
"I'll go talk to that bearded uncle NPC."
Soon, an uncle wearing a visor and helmet, with only his mouth almost covered by a big beard showing, followed Cherry Cat over.
A sharp gaze shot from behind the mask towards Doujiang and the others who were slacking off, and he nodded in appreciation.
"Very good. Unfortunately I have to protect the children here and cannot join you. However, I can provide some help."
After a few rustlings, the bearded uncle took out a ring and handed it to Doujiang.
"Send him to Midtown and look for Harold, the captain of the 3rd Regiment of the Turner City Guards. He's easy to spot, the burly fellow with the same big beard and red nose as me."
"After seeing the ring, he will trust you and let you pass through the inner city gate. Then tell him, I'm here."
Doujiang, who was slacking off, nodded, reached out to take the ring and hid it, then soon saw several people coming over with crossbows and some potions.
"We don't have many crossbow arrows. After all, this thing just came out from the little princess's territory nearby, and the potions are almost used up. But I will bring some people to cover your attack later. You can seize the opportunity to rush out."
After the bearded uncle finished speaking quickly, he turned around and led his men to organize a feint attack.
Although he muttered before leaving, saying it was a feint attack, in fact, as long as this group of normal people stepped out of the defense line, the group of mad dogs would rush up, and there was no need to think about whether the plan would succeed.
Not long after Doujiang and the others were ready, they soon saw several men who were obviously senior mercenaries, led by the bearded uncle, following behind him, and provoking the believers of Khorne.
After looking back at the bearded uncle and several powerful mercenaries who were fighting and retreating fiercely, Doujiang, who was slacking off, turned to look at his companions.
"let's go."
Along the way, the five-member adventure team met many indigenous people and players who were still struggling to survive in the East City District, and of course they also witnessed many tragedies.
Doujiang and his men did not offer a helping hand. After accepting the call for help, they chose to avoid the battlefield as much as possible and move towards the central city.
But when the thief member Fengzhi jumped down from the rope on the roof and reported the situation on the street ahead.
The other four members of the team fell silent. They had anticipated this situation.
The closer you get to Midtown, the more minions the evil god will have.
They want more killing and to please the Blood God with blood and screaming souls, so they will naturally crave the lives of the other four districts.
They hoped to exchange the lives of the entire population of Turner City for the Blood God's gaze, granting them greater power to kill.
And ahead is the battlefield where a group of evil god's lackeys, blocked by the city wall, are fighting with the survivors on the street.
"What should we do? Go around it?"
Cherry Meow tangled her fingers in her hair, pulling at it irritably.
“It seems like this is the case in several surrounding streets.”
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Suddenly, a series of gunshots rang out in the ears of Cherry Meow and the others.
This familiar voice made the five members of the adventure team look at each other with expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Musket!"
And judging from the dense gunfire, it was a large-scale musketeer attack.
"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Turner City, the city wall of the central city facing the east city.
Chris, wearing a blue cloak embroidered with golden irises, stood on the city wall, gazing at the streets below.
There, the first elite regiment of the Knight Guard was slowly advancing on the street under the command of flag signals.
Whenever an enemy appears in front, the players in the first row will immediately squat down and raise the breech-loading flintlock rifles in their hands. With a loud explosion, a cloud of smoke will fill the air.
Those evil god's lackeys who rushed over roaring would become pitiful people screaming on the ground, waiting for the favor of the god of death.
The mage player in the group immediately waved his staff to wrap the smoke covering the front of the queue into a ball, and threw it across the street as a smoke bomb.
Then the players in the first row retreat, and the players in the following rows step forward and continue to advance forward.
They "cleaned" the street in front of the city gate area in an orderly, though slow but very effective manner.
Standing next to Chris was a man in his thirties who looked 70% similar to Bliss, but looked tougher because of being weathered by the wind and rain.
He looked at the group of strangers below who were holding the portrait of the princess beside them as a banner. They were actually carrying an unfamiliar weapon and advancing step by step with determination. He couldn't help but be moved and showed an expression of surprise.
"Your Highness, you said this weapon is called a musket?"
"Yes."
Chris nodded and immediately turned to face Viscount Chester, the eldest son of Earl Lawrence and the commander-in-chief of the Turner City Guards, and smiled gently and kindly.
