Can't I develop my own character?

Casradi was protected by a group of royal guards.

The hot bullets came like a rain curtain, and the magic shield could only resist for a while. Although she had the strength of a fourth-level extraordinary person, she still could not ignore the damage of firearms.

"They're catching up!"

"Your Highness, you go first, we'll go stop them!"

A Guards officer shouted.

"Don't fight hard. I need you to escort me back alive."

Casladi thought calmly. She looked around at the terrain and suddenly saw a huge rock sloping downward not far ahead.

"Everyone go up!"

The guards looked at each other, and although they didn't know what Casradi was going to do, they still obeyed the order.

When they all got behind the huge rock, Casladi mobilized the little magic power he had left and released a magical bombardment on the huge rock.

Boom!

After a loud bang, the terrifying power of the magic shattered the boulder, and the part embedded in the ground cracked instantly. The boulder lost its balance and turned into countless stones that rolled down the hillside.

These stones hit many pursuers, buying them time to retreat, but it was still a drop in the bucket to the overall situation. In less than an hour, the pursuers had already circled around from the other side.

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller!

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Casradi felt somewhat desperate. Once it got dark, they wouldn't know where to escape.

She touched the magic scroll in her pocket. It was a scroll engraved with the power of Janus's passage. It had the ability to teleport the user randomly. It was also the only thing on Casladi that could help her escape from the predicament.

After fighting for an entire afternoon, her magic power had long been exhausted, but the pursuers continued to come. Facing the thousands of troops, she had no chance of winning.

"soldiers."

Casradi looked around and said after a moment's silence, "I still have a way to escape, but I may not be able to take you with me."

"Your Highness."

Aiko was a little anxious. How could she tell anyone about this? What if someone had bad intentions?

Casradi shook her head at her. She couldn't just leave suddenly. She had been holding on until now hoping that everyone could escape, but unfortunately it seemed there was no hope.

Even so, she wanted to let the royal guards around her know that as a princess, she always cherished their lives, and the protection of the royal guards was worth it.

At this moment, an officer came over, knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, if you still have a way, please leave here as soon as possible! Our duty is to protect you. As long as you are alive, our efforts are meaningful."

wow~~

The remaining nearly fifty royal guards all knelt down.

"I swear to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess to the death!"

"As long as you are here, the empire will never perish." A hint of relief flashed in Kasradi's eyes. "Then fight to the end. I will let those people know that there will be a price to pay for trampling on the majesty of the royal family!"

“Fight!” “Fight!” “Fight!”

boom!

The gunshots were heard again.

The officer stood up, drew his sword, and shouted, "Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess! Kill!!"

The battle started again at dusk. The royal guards fought according to the terrain and formed a fan-shaped protection circle around Casradi's position.

The armor on their bodies was very strong and could withstand the muskets in the hands of the pursuers, but they could not completely ignore them. Generally, if several musketeers opened fire at the same time, the guards would not be able to hold on for long.

Soon the protection circle gradually shrank. Looking at the fallen guards, Casradi felt very sad. These were all loyal imperial warriors!

"Aiko, find a way to get out." She said to Aiko beside her.

The latter is a second-level transcendent. Although she doesn't have much magic power left, there is still hope for her to break out. After all, the person the other party wants to kill is not her.

Ai Ke shook his head: "Your Highness, you go first."

"I can leave anytime."

"My duty is to protect His Highness."

Seeing Eco's stubborn face, Casradi shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to use the magic scroll, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the foot of the mountain.

The gunshots became more chaotic, and she vaguely saw a large group of dark shadows coming up the mountain and fighting with the soldiers who were chasing her.

"Ok?"

Casradi was startled. "Reinforcements?"

Yes, we have been fighting since this morning. Someone sent the message back in the meantime. If we take the train at full speed, we should be here soon. After all, it is still some distance from here to the city of Kosovo.

"Your Highness, it's reinforcements."

"Yeah... I saw it, but I don't know where it is from."

Casladi clenched her fists nervously. After a while, she found that the number of reinforcements was not large and they could not attack at all.

They were from Berman City, sent by Ryan... She immediately understood that they were basically the Berman City Defense Force. They had no numbers and no combat effectiveness.

"Ryan's reaction is still quick, but unfortunately..."

The hope that had just ignited was instantly extinguished. Casradi felt somewhat helpless. She had to leave. It would be a waste of a precious teleportation scroll. Furthermore, since it was a random scroll, there was no guarantee of a successful escape. What if she accidentally teleported to the enemy base camp...

"May the Sun God bless you."

Casladi held the scroll and stared at the battlefield ahead. The enemy soldiers had already attacked, and the guards were fighting and retreating, and were less than twenty meters away from her position.

Suddenly, a scream came from the woods.

It was a terrified and miserable sound.

Wow~~

The forest collapsed in large sections, and amid the screams, Kasladi vaguely heard the word "devil". Just as he was feeling puzzled, a voice flew out from the forest. It was a Kosotho soldier, flying in the sky, and then, he was cut in half by a sword from a figure that fell from the sky!

Hiss!

Large amounts of blood fell like rain. 'Xia Li' landed nimbly and then bounced back. At this time, Kosotho's soldiers were rushing out of the woods. Some of them hadn't reacted yet, and their vision was filled with blood. Their heads fell to the ground with a gurgle, and they watched their bodies slowly fall down.

In the blink of an eye, 'Xia Li' had killed seven or eight people!

"she is..."

Casradi was stunned.

Of course she could tell he was a transcendent, and one who wielded the power of death... Was he from the Fire Covenant? No, she had never seen him before.

Kasladi secretly investigated the Fire-Chasing Covenant in Berman City and found absolutely no such person.

The black hair and black eyes, the arrogant posture, the big sword slashing down, and the vigorous attack method made Kasladi inexplicably think of a person - Maganna.

But the other person was obviously not Maganna. Even people who had never seen her had heard of the name of the Dwarf Grand Duke. That tall figure was not something a little loli could have.

"Amazing."

Echo's eyes brightened.

"First level, it seems there is only one level, Your Highness... This is incredible."

"Yeah... what a pity, it's only level one."

Kasradi was speechless. Hope always died out just as it was rising. It was the same just now and it was the same now. What could a first-level transcendent do, no matter how powerful he was?

Can she still defy the will of heaven?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw 'Xia Li' stretch out her hand and wave it. The blood-red stream fell on the bodies of the killed Kosotho soldiers like the strings of a puppet. Then the blood mercenaries staggered to their feet.

"Ah!"

"Undead? No, is this the ability of the puppeteer?"

Kasradi looked in surprise at the blood mercenaries fighting with the enemy soldiers.

"Devil!"

"Devil! The devil appears!"

Some soldiers who had never seen supernatural powers screamed in fear.

Not to mention them, even those who have seen blood mercenaries would feel their scalps tingling when seeing them. The main reason is that these things are just skinned bloody people. They look really unsightly, even worse than the skeletons summoned by the undead.

Soon, the first wave of Kosotho soldiers who rushed up were repelled by 'Xali'. The blood mercenaries stood in a row outside to block them. 'Xali' turned and walked in front of Kasladi.

"Charlie, Captain of the Berman City Guard," she said to Casradi, "Mayor Ryan asked me to rescue you."

"Are you really sent by Ryan?" Casradi exclaimed, "Are you from the Fire Covenant?"

"No, I'm an orphan, a wanderer. Mayor Ryan took me in. He's been kind to me, and I'm loyal to him," said Charlie.

"So that's it."

Casradi understood that this must be Ryan's hidden trump card.

Fortunately, such an outstanding talent was not absorbed into the Fire Covenant, otherwise Jonathan would never have let him go.

Since he is Ryan's subordinate, and Ryan is loyal to me, doesn't that mean 'Charlie' is loyal to me?

Thinking of this, Casradi felt much better.

"Ms. Xia Li, the Kosotho army will definitely come again. We must leave quickly."

"I've seen the terrain here. There's a cliff behind us. We can only go down the mountain, but we can't go down now."

"So...what should we do?"

"Guard."

"Defend?" Kasradi was stunned. "How long can we hold on? We only have so few men, and Kosothoa has a full 6,000 men. The reinforcements below won't be able to rush in."

"It's okay, I'll stop him and guard him until I die."

"..."

No, you stopped me? How did you stop me?

Kasradi really wanted to say, "You can't stop them. No matter how powerful a blood mercenary is, there are limits." If Xia Li were a fourth-level transcendent, she would believe this, but a first-level...

"Your Highness, they are attacking again!" shouted a royal guard.

Casradi asked hurriedly, "Do you have any magic recovery potion?"

If she can recover her magic, then there is still hope that she can continue to persevere.

"No more, just a little bit, I need it myself." Charlie shook her head.

She didn't lie. Not only her, but even Lin Qi had no magic recovery potions left. The reason was simple: they were all eaten up by the spendthrift woman Wei Nei.

In order to change jobs as soon as possible, I used up all the potions in the cemetery. How could I have any left for Casradi now?

Besides, even if there were recovery potions, they would not be enough for Casradi. For a profession like her that specializes in magic, it would be useless without high magic potions.

"Didn't Ryan bring you any potion?" Casradi wanted to cry. No, sisters, don't extraordinary people go out to fight without medicine?

"Mayor Ryan didn't have any either. He gave me all his."

"..."

Kasladi sighed inwardly, the Fire Covenant was really poor. It was the official supernatural organization of the empire. Ryan really should have followed her earlier.

"Don't worry, Mayor Ryan has instructed me to protect you. Wait until I'm dead before you take over."

After saying that, 'Xia Li' turned around domineeringly and rushed back to the defense line with a big sword in hand.

At this time, the Kosotho army had launched a second wave of charge. They recovered from their fear. No matter what, the mission had reached the final stage. Even if there were ghosts and gods ahead, they had to bite the bullet and go on.

What happened to the blood mercenary?

They have guns in their hands, what are they afraid of?

However, this also applies to 'Xia Li'.

I have a roast chicken and the bloodthirsty recovery effect, so what am I afraid of?

So both sides, fearless of death, started fighting again. The number of blood mercenaries was not large, but fortunately, the terrain chosen by Kasradi was good, and the blood mercenaries were able to barely form a circle to block the enemy outside. Under the control of "Xia Li", the blood mercenaries fell down and stood up again, died and resurrected.

"They seem to be free." Eco pointed at the blood mercenaries and said something for no reason.

Kasla Dike was in no mood to joke. If 'Xia Li' could really stop the Kosotho runner-up, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome.

Ryan... He gave a death order. That's right. Casradi could see that 'Xia Li' was not very interested in her as a princess. She would only defend it because of Ryan's order.
