In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"As for the number of people... judging by the size of the camp, there should be around 30,000. If we exclude some, there should be at most 10,000 or so who can enter the battlefield."

"As for the Banshees, if we gather all the Banshees in the city and recruit some more, we might be able to gather 8,000 people..."

"It's not hopeless, there's still a chance..."

Lamaren gritted her teeth and thought quickly.

Maria, on the other hand, looked at the situation carefully and shook her head silently.

"More than two."

"Ok?"

"Judging from the wheel tracks on the ground, there should be three warships here."

"Three ships?"

Lamaren was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head decisively.

It is unlikely that something of this size could be hidden, but there should only be two ships on the scene.

That is to say...

"A warship has already attacked the royal city overnight!"

Ramalen's face turned pale in an instant.

She was about to turn around and go back to inform them, but her body stopped abruptly.

Maria's words just now were still echoing in her mind.

My mission... is to protect those who trust me...

This is what I should do...

Silently clenching her fists, Ramalen gritted her teeth and turned to look at the coalition camp.

"It's just one ship. The Banshees can still handle it..."

However, according to the opponent's preparation, the ship that attacked overnight could only be regarded as harassment, which would consume the Banshees' spirits in the middle of the night. It would be the next day before the remaining two ships would launch a formal attack.

If it was just a battleship, the Banshees could barely deal with it.

But if the rest come out...

No!

I have to do something.

After a pause, Lamaren turned her head and placed her last hope on Maria.

Seeing Maria's calm expression, she made a sound almost begging.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"..."

"The Banshees are currently concerned with internal issues. The coalition's attack will undoubtedly catch them off guard. They must assemble their forces immediately..."

Ramalen didn't know what expression she had when she said such words.

She knew that as the ruler of the Banshee Court, she didn't have to and shouldn't show weakness to anyone.

But the so-called dignity, the so-called pride, and the so-called identity are actually empty words. She knows that if she doesn't order something, she will truly let down her crown.

Someone must...someone must go and warn the banshees.

"..."

Maria didn't answer. She just looked at the girl in front of her, was silent for a moment, and shook her head.

"I don't want to get involved in your problems..."

Maria wouldn't mind if it was just something she mentioned casually when she got back, but she wasn't a naive person. She knew the other person's special identity and situation.

Even if she went back and found someone reputable within the Banshees, how would she explain why the Banshee King had come out with her in the middle of the night? How would she prove her identity was safe?

When they discovered that their leader had disappeared, what reason would they have not to suspect that Maria had secretly taken the Lord of the Royal Court away and then came back to report false news to them?

The more anxious and chaotic the situation is, the more problems are likely to arise.

Maria really didn't want to get involved in the vortex of these people.

Her only opponents will be those giant beasts.

As for human wars...she is not interested and does not want to get involved.

So in the face of the girl's request, although it was ruthless, Maria still calmly refused.

"Is there anything you want? The Banshee King's Court can..."

"I know you're worried, girl, but I have only one answer... I don't care."

"..."

The girl was silent.

Lamaren stared blankly at Maria in front of her, biting her lips tightly.

But after a moment, she let go of her hands.

"I understand."

"But I still have a request..."

"Appreciate further details."

Maria turned her head slightly and looked at the girl.

And after taking a few breaths, Lamaren silently took off the ring on the delicate black silk sleeve that bound her, strung it with a strand of hair, and tied it around Maria's wrist.

She faced Maria, squatted down, and gently kissed the ring.

"I understand that you don't want to get involved in our affairs, but at least, please place this ring on my crown..."

"This is my symbol. Leaving her there, even if the banshees think I've escaped... at least, they'll be on guard..."

Lamaren raised her head, looked at Maria in front of her, pursed her lips, and spoke softly.

Even if she would be spitted upon by the banshees, even if her name would become a disgrace, she didn't care.

Some things must be done!

"May I?"

Chapter 263: Her Royal Highness the Princess

Faced with this request, Maria was silent for a while and then nodded silently.

She can actually fulfill this request.

After all, what Maria doesn't like is unnecessary explanations and proofs.

But if you're just taking something somewhere, it's not a problem.

With her skills, she was confident that she could enter any place without alerting anyone.

Lamaren, who was standing by, finally smiled when she saw Maria finally nodded in agreement.

She nodded, then slowly stood up and turned to look at the campsite surrounded by bonfires, her gaze gradually becoming firm.

"What are you going to do with this?"

"Attack!"

"...Are you alone?"

"Ah."

Lamaren took a deep breath.

Although she was a little surprised that Maria saw through her aura concealment when they first met, which had no effect at all, she was a little surprised.

But this doesn't mean her ability is weak.

On the contrary, Maria is just too strong.

Under normal circumstances, even those who are masters of Originium techniques find it difficult to break the banshees' spells.

So she planned to take advantage of this opportunity.

The situation is urgent now. The coalition forces could never have guessed that the current master of the Banshee Court would appear tonight and attack their camp.

This is bound to make them let down their guard.

As long as we seize this opportunity, let her write the banshees' spells on those steel battleships and then delay the detonation.

Even if it cannot be completely destroyed, it can at least prevent the opponent from returning to the battlefield for a long time!

As long as we can do this, everything will make sense!

"..."

Seeing that Ramalen had made up her mind, Maria was silent for a while, and without saying anything else, she turned her head slightly and ran back the way she came.

After watching Maria walk away, Lamaren took a deep breath silently.

After a pause, she finally couldn't overcome the condemnation of her conscience and bowed slightly to Maria's back.

"sorry."

She knew Maria was unwilling to get involved in these things, but now that things had come to this, she had to be responsible for the future of the banshees.

So she deceived Maria.

Her real purpose was not to get Maria to return the ring.

Instead, it makes those banshees recognize Maria's identity and believe in Maria's words.

That ring is actually more like her token of love.

She wasn't sure whether Maria had seen through her crude plan...but she knew that she had taken advantage of Maria's kindness.

She owed Maria a favor.

Perhaps she will never be able to repay this favor in her lifetime.

But at least she knew she had no regrets.

This is what she has to do.

"I hope someone finds it."

Sighing, Ramalen didn't hesitate any longer, turned her head and looked at the camp in the distance.

……

In the Banshee Courtyard.

Mira pushed open the door tiredly and walked out of the room with a worried look on her face.

She couldn't sleep at all.

As a good sister of Lamaren, who grew up together, she has always admired Lamaren, who is about the same age as her but has always been ahead of her peers.

She was also proud that she was now his maid... their relationship remained the same as before, and she could help him solve his problems.

But the problem is that the current situation is so frustratingly bad.

Even though she had realized that the entire Banshee Court had been squeezed to the limit, all the banshees were on edge, preparing for the upcoming war.

But everyone is pessimistic about the future trend.

The probability of them winning this war is very low...

Even though she had recently prepared herself mentally, she still tossed and turned every night and couldn't fall asleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see Lamaren working at her desk.

She was really worried whether Lamaren could hold on if things continued like this.

After thinking it over again and again, she decided to get up and check on the other person's condition.

But not long after she walked out the door, she saw the hurried banshee guards moving quickly.

They looked anxious, as if they were preparing to carry out some mission.
