My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

Now, the number of defenders in Romulus City is less than 30,000, but they are facing at least 80,000 enemies.

It looked like it was only a matter of time before Giovanni was defeated.

But the reality is far from that.

In the coalition army camp outside the city of Romulus.

Ten thousand soldiers from the Duke of Orleans also arrived here three days ago. After resting for two days, they launched a brutal siege yesterday, leaving behind nearly a thousand corpses.

"Everyone, although we have suffered slightly more losses than the enemy, according to intelligence, the number of enemy soldiers is less than 30,000. Romulus City is very large. We will cooperate with the soldiers on the east wall to control the east tomorrow. This way, the number of soldiers we can send into the battlefield can be doubled."

At the combat meeting, Scaloni shared his ideas with the commanders of each legion.

The reason why the attack in the northern city yesterday could only capture a few streets was largely because the battlefield was limited. Even if more troops were deployed, the number of soldiers actually engaging the enemy would not change.

After capturing the east city wall, the combat area will be further expanded, so the enemy's defensive power and the damage caused by our side to the enemy will be greater.

The coalition forces are not afraid of death now. Their top priority is to capture the city of Romulus as soon as possible and bring the criminal Giovanni to trial.

At this moment, the messenger ran in from outside the military tent and said:

"It's bad! It's bad! The enemy sent out a very strange army. Our position in the northern city was taken back by the enemy not long after we took it!"

Upon hearing this news, Scaloni was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief: "How is it possible? We have more people than the enemy, and we have deployed 10,000 people in the North City. With so many people, you tell me that the position has been lost?!"

"Yes, it's true!" said the messenger anxiously.

"It is said that the people in that small group of troops are very strange. They are not afraid of death at all. Even if they are chopped by swords, they will not make any sound. They are extremely ferocious. Our brothers think they are weird. Under their leadership, our position was quickly beaten back by the enemy!"

Chapter 116: I will find a good grave for you

"Not afraid of death, not making any sound when being cut by swords, extremely ferocious? Are you sure you are describing a human being?" Scaloni asked in surprise, looking at the messenger below.

As one of the major local forces in the empire, it is reasonable for the Duchy of Naples to have some elite armed forces. Just like the Duchy of Antica, there is a black army that followed Lucius and had been through many battles, and it also played a crucial role in the previous battles against the orcs.

However, because the Duchy of Naples was not on the front line against foreign enemies, there had been no large-scale wars in the territory for many years. Therefore, other regions of the empire knew relatively little about the Duchy of Naples' elite troops. Many people even believed that the Duchy of Naples did not have any so-called elite troops at all.

But this time, according to the description of the soldiers on the front line, the Dukedom of Naples obviously still has elite troops.

The soldier who delivered the message was also stunned by Scaloni's question.

"This... According to what you said, General, these people may not really be human... But..."

He himself could not give a definite answer to this question at the moment.

"Forget it, you go down first, we will respond later." Scaloni sighed and said.

This strange situation must be reported to the imperial center.

……

On the other side, in the city of Romulus, the Naples army was stationed.

The appearance of this strange army on the battlefield not only attracted the attention of the coalition forces, but also attracted the attention of friendly forces.

"Hey, have you heard? Yesterday, the Duke sent a very powerful army to recapture all the positions that the enemy had captured, and even drove the enemy onto the city wall!"

"Yes, it's true. That army is really powerful. I heard that each of them is fearless and brave. We are going to move our position forward today and take over the position they occupied."

"By the way, have you seen the true appearance of those soldiers? I heard that they all wear full body plate armor. The armor is so heavy that they don't take it off even in the heat of battle. Their physical fitness is too terrifying."

"It's no wonder they are so well-equipped. Most people can't wear that heavy armor, let alone wear it to fight."

"When I saw them leaving yesterday, I was ready to say hello to them, but they ignored me. There was no sound from the entire team except the sound of people walking on the road."

"It proves that they have good military discipline. It seems that we really have hope of repelling the enemy with this legion."

"Ok!"

The discussion about the sudden appearance of the elite legion gave the remaining Naples soldiers confidence in victory.

Although that elite army had only a little over a thousand people, it defeated ten thousand people head-on yesterday.

Inside the Duke's Palace, Giovanni looked at the north city wall with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Sure enough, as long as my army takes action, no matter how elite the troops are, they will be easily captured in the end."

"Of course. As long as you are willing to pay enough, we can provide you with more troops like this."

Behind Giovanni, a man with a cane spoke with a smile.

The skin on his hands was wrinkled, but his face was very young, appearing to be only in his twenties.

"I have no shortage of people, and I have no shortage of dead people." Giovanni shook his head.

"As long as I can rule Saint Laurent City, I don't mind even if the entire Dukedom of Naples is buried with me."

"Haha, that's not the case." The man behind Giovanni shook his head.

"If everyone dies, who will rule us? Besides, these people won't let us do this, right?"

Hearing the man say this, Giovanni didn't say much, but just shook his head silently.

"Andrew, how many more people can you transform using this transformation method?"

"Don't worry, all this takes time."

"I order you to build an army of more than 10,000 people for me in the shortest possible time. I only give you ten days."

"Duke Giovanni, isn't ten days a bit..."

"You can use the resources of the entire city of Romulus."

"Ah...that's much easier. Thank you, Duke Giovanni." Andrew said this and nodded with a smile.

"By the way, you should know the consequences of playing tricks, right?" Giovanni said this, and a cold light flashed in the shadows of the room.

"Of course I know that. My life was given by you, Duke Giovanni, so I will certainly live up to your mission."

"In that case, I'll be waiting for your good news." Giovanni said this, turned around and left the room.

Andrew stood there and waited until the disgusting atmosphere in the room dissipated before he snorted coldly.

"Just bear with it for a while."

Then he walked out of the room and went straight to a warehouse in the Duke's mansion.

……

After saying goodbye to Andrew, Giovanni went straight to the basement of the Duke's Palace.

When I opened the door of the basement, an unpleasant smell came out.

At this moment, in the basement, Donnie was chained to a wooden stake. He saw Giovanni walk into the room with hope in his eyes.

"Father! Please let me go. I feel so bad now. We must have misunderstood something before..."

"I'm sorry, Tony, my child. In order for you to be able to inherit the huge empire in the future, you have to bear these pains." Giovanni said this and came to Tony.

"...Father, you mean that I should stay here..."

"Well, believe me, Donny, as long as you get through this period of time, you will be reborn." Giovanni said this, looked at the button connected to the wooden stake, walked over, and then pressed the button.

After Giovanni pressed the button, Donnie, who was on the stake, could no longer speak. The burning pain from the four chains made him unable to make any sound except screaming.

"The potion I gave you will strengthen your body unprecedentedly, but you currently have no way of suppressing the side effects of the potion. You can only suppress it with the help of external forces. Once the side effects dissipate, you will be able to control that powerful force at will."

"Believe me, Donny, when you really come into contact with that power, you will thank me." Giovanni said this, and without paying attention to Donny's screams, he turned his back and left the basement directly.

"Keep an eye on Donny for me. We have to suppress him three more times today." He ordered coldly.

"Yes, sir." The dark shadow that appeared beside him bowed respectfully and accepted the order.

"Come on, Lucius." Giovanni returned to the ground and walked out of the Duke's Palace. He raised his head and took a breath of fresh air.

"This time, I will find you a good grave."

Chapter 117: Let Me Go With You

"Pay attention, our mission this time is to test the details of the enemy's strange army." As night fell, when most soldiers were resting and preparing for the next day's battle, a small force quietly entered the city of Romulus from the north gate controlled by the coalition forces.

The leader was Litte, her adjutants were Virgil and Martin, who had previously joined Litte in Florence. The three of them led 500 carefully selected elite soldiers to attack the city of Romulus at night.

Just as Litt had instructed Virgil and Martin just now, this army did not directly raid the city to carry out a decapitation operation, but was preparing to spy on the enemy's secret army.

In the position that was recaptured during the day, there were now ordinary Naples soldiers stationed here. Litt saw those people from a long distance. Seeing that they were ordinary soldiers, she hurriedly asked her soldiers to stop. She took a few agile soldiers and sneaked over from the side to eliminate the enemy's garrison soldiers. Then the large army went straight into the enemy camp along this street.

Finally, deep in the camp, Litt saw the same army that the messenger had described during the day.

What surprised her was that even at night, they still kept their armor on, as if they were afraid that someone would see the bodies underneath.

The more Litt looked, the more he felt something was wrong. He ordered Martin to take his troops to observe the surrounding situation first, while he and Virgil sneaked forward.

In an alley, Virgil and Lit separated, the latter stayed where he was, while the former rushed out of the alley and came to the street.

This action naturally attracted the enemy's attention.

However, what surprised Virgil was that the enemy's perception seemed to be really poor. Virgil ran past them on the street without attracting their attention.

In desperation, Virgil could only pick up a stone and throw it in front of a soldier in plate armor.

This arrival did attract the other party's attention. He first looked up, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual around, he walked forward and looked at the thing on the ground.

Seeing this, Virgil threw another stone to the ground in front of him. This time he deliberately exposed a flaw to make the other party notice the shadow in the alley. The other party immediately trotted forward and chased Virgil in the alley.

Not long after the other party turned into the alley, Lit followed closely and knocked him to the ground.

"Give up your resistance and tell me who you are!" Lit threatened the other party, but the other party didn't listen to Lit at all. He said nothing and tried to struggle to stand up.

Litt pressed down the opponent's shoulders tightly, but the opponent would rather give up one arm to stand up.

And during the process, no sound was made except for the metallic sound of the moving objects scraping against each other.

Litt was shocked by the opponent's bravery. At this time, Virgil drew out his sword and stabbed it into the connection between the opponent's helmet and breastplate, and lifted up the entire helmet.

Then, the other person's face revealed made both of them stunned.

With skinny cheeks, fierce eyes and distorted facial features, the other person doesn't look like a human at all, but rather like a living dead.

After the helmet was taken off, the expression on the "Zombie"'s face became even more painful, and he even let out bursts of roars, but what came out of his throat was only the hoarse breathing sound after the vocal cords were broken. If it weren't for the helmet being removed, the two of them would not have been able to detect that he could not speak at all.

It seems that it’s not that they didn’t say a word, but that even if they were injured and wanted to scream, they couldn’t make any sound.

What's more, it seems that after one of the opponent's arms was removed, he seemed to have no sense of pain at all, and it would not affect his subsequent actions.

Virgil was the first to react. He stood in front of Litt and then kicked the mysterious soldier to the ground.

The strength displayed by the opponent when he was struggling just now should be at the fifth or sixth level, but Virgil's strength has now reached the seventh level, so dealing with this kind of stuff is naturally a piece of cake.

However, thinking about the other party's description, the enemy's army of the undead seemed to have thousands of people.

There are thousands of fifth to sixth level soldiers, and each of them is fearless and unafraid of death. This kind of combat power is stronger than any elite force in the empire.

Even if the Royal Knights or the Holy Knights of the Church came, the ordinary soldiers of these two armies would not be able to gain any advantage in front of this army.

Virgil was about to end the other's life with his sword, but was stopped by Litt.

She shook her head, then said, "We have to take him back, either as evidence to incriminate Giovanni or to find a way to fight this monster."

"That's right, I was rude." Upon hearing this, Virgil retracted his sword, put the helmet back on the man, and then escorted the man, preparing to take him back by force.

……

"Legion of the Living Dead?!" Military meeting in Saint Laurent City.

"Well, General Scaloni is currently requesting assistance. If the reinforcements don't arrive, the enemy can use this legion to counterattack, and it may even cause greater disaster." said the general who returned from the front line.

"Send the Royal Knights over, Arthas, and transfer some more people from the army, including Elsa. Send as many magicians as possible."

After Odysseus gave each of his children an order, he looked at Pope Levi who was sitting next to him.

"Your Holiness, it's time for the Holy Knights of the Holy See to attack, right?"

"Well, it is the duty of the Church to deal with this kind of evil." Levi nodded, then looked at Odysseus.

"But, Your Majesty, have you decided who will lead the troops this time?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Odysseus thought for a moment, and then asked: "Could it be that General Scaloni and Duke Lucius are not capable enough?"

"Of course I am not questioning their abilities. They are all famous generals of the empire. However, in the current situation, we need a more capable person to replace them in order to more safely solve the problems on the front line, right?" The Pope said this and glanced at Elsa imperceptibly.

Seeing this, Elsa also understood what Levi meant.

"Father, I do have a candidate to recommend. If he takes action, he will definitely ensure that the front line is worry-free."
