Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't want to be pushed down by the players

Chris was completely oblivious to Caris's actions and continued to instruct him enthusiastically.

"And we didn't intentionally withhold their spoils. You see, there are too many foreigners and the loot is limited, so there's nothing we can do about it."

"I'm not some devil."

"Then I'll try it later."

Karis turned his head away. He felt that the image of his princess in his mind had become somewhat unbearable.

"By the way, Your Highness, I told you before about this Celis soldier..."

So he quickly changed the subject.

"Ok, I know."

Chris nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, she chose to tell Caris.

"Carlis, your discovery is not your illusion."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"This Serlis army is just their vanguard, coming to clear the way for the main army."

"And their purpose in coming here is not just to plunder, but for me."

""

Karis looked at his Highness solemnly, his heart heavy with what Chris said.

But he was also a little excited, because he knew that after his prince said this, it meant that he had finally completely entered his prince's inner circle.

In the past, I lived in a remote town and had no choice but to live like this.

But he is only 30 years old. If he has the opportunity to move up, he will naturally work hard.

Therefore, you must protect His Highness.

Chris gave Carlisle a strange look.

The system just prompted that Caris's loyalty has increased to 100. What happened?

But she didn't care too much and finished what she had not finished saying.

"There are some people behind us who hired the Serlis. Perhaps the mercenaries we originally hired disappointed them."

"Your Highness, are you talking about the Thunder Wolf Mercenary Group?"

"Yeah." Chris nodded.

"Then, Your Highness, who do you think hired these mercenaries and the Celis people? Why did they do this?!"

Karis held the reins tightly. The princess had brought great changes to the city of Vader and also given him hope for growth.

He absolutely did not want to see such a bright prospect being ruined by some people.

"Probably those who don't want to see my brother and I successfully develop our territory. The reason, of course, is that my father, the king, is already old."

Karis pursed his lips tightly. Although he was in a remote border area, he was aware of the undercurrents surging beneath the kingdom's calm surface.

But Chris, who was riding on the warhorse, was a little dazed.

She suddenly remembered that in her dream.

By now, his younger brother, the little prince of the kingdom, should have sent a large army towards Wade.

Her younger brother was smart since childhood, kind but not stupid, and had a good reputation in the kingdom.

It's just a pity that he died later.

He died from the betrayal of some of his nobles and the conspiracy of others.

In order to avoid falling step by step into the ending of her dream, Chris felt that she had to help her younger brother.

Unlike Chris in the dream, as an older sister, she not only could not help her younger brother, but also took up his energy.

This led to his death in the end, and he could only feel helpless and furious.

Then he turned evil, and finally ended up being overthrown by the player.

Alas, life is hard.

Chris, sitting on horseback, sighed silently.

The princess she traveled to was a bit miserable.

PS: Sorry for the late update. I'm still writing and preparing for tomorrow's update. (I received a notice that there will be a power outage tomorrow for road construction. Damn it, Teemo, when will this sandbag road construction be completed?)

Chapter 26

As a virtual reality game, Hope Land offers experience in fighting monsters and completing quests.

But neither gold coins nor equipment appear out of thin air.

It requires players to steal equipment and touch corpses themselves.

A senior and experienced player can get every penny out of a green goblin from head to toe.

A rookie can only gain experience and nothing else.

However, this time, because it was a faction war commanded by an NPC, all the equipment and other items except the coins touched by the players were considered as spoils and had to be handed in.

However, it will definitely be given as a reward.

The players who returned to the camp couldn't help but stare at the truckloads of equipment being pulled into the camp warehouse.

These are all standard equipment of the Celis army, and they are basically of high quality.

Unlike them, since they have only entered this game for less than a month, except for a few lucky ones, most people don’t have any sophisticated equipment. Most of them have blank equipment bought from the blacksmith shop.

Under the gaze of a thousand players, the soldiers who were counting the spoils finally completed the inventory under tremendous pressure.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and immediately walked towards Caris and Chris with the list.

After handing over the list, the soldier couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when nearly a thousand gazes disappeared from him in an instant.

The gazes of these strangers were as hot as flames. If Her Royal Highness the Princess had not told him that these strangers were very obsessed with getting rewards after fighting, he would have thought that these thousand strangers had some special hobbies.

For example, anal sex.

"Your Highness, after counting the equipment that was damaged beyond repair, we have seized a total of 340 sets of Serlis-style equipment, including chain mail, leather armor, swords, sabers, shields, and bows and crossbows."

Caris took the list from his soldiers, glanced at it, and immediately told Chris.

Then I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"Let me show you first."

Chris glanced at the impatient players, smiled, took the list from Karis, and walked to the center of the camp.

"Brave and fearless foreign warriors, I am deeply moved by your performance and sacrifice in this battle."

"You have made tremendous sacrifices for this strange world. Some warriors have even sacrificed more than once."

"So, to thank you for your efforts, to honor your achievements and fearlessness, I, the Princess of the Kingdom of Aleer, have decided to give you all the spoils captured in this battle."

After speaking loudly about the formalities, Chris reached out and called over a few soldiers under the heated gazes of all the players.

In fact, he opened his own system panel and clicked on the trading panel.

[Chris Ludwig launches a trade with everyone: the trading model is auction.]

[Each set of equipment auction has a time limit. The next set of equipment auction will start immediately after the time limit ends.]

[After deducting a 40% handling fee from the auction proceeds, the remaining amount will be distributed proportionally to all players participating in the battle based on their contributions.]

【The auction will start in ten minutes. 】

Hey!

All the players who received the system prompt couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

They raised their heads angrily, but after seeing Chris's pure and beautiful face, they looked away at the same time.

Such a lovely and pure princess would definitely not use such means.

So

You dog planner, you will fly out of the Milky Way soon!

Chris pretended to know nothing, with a polite ladylike smile on her face.

After she sent out the transaction reminder, the surrounding players immediately became excited.

After greeting the families of the planning team who took the blame, all the players spontaneously began to discuss with their companions.

One thousand people, more than three hundred sets of equipment, and many of them are long-range operators.

They can discuss with their companions and pool their money to take a set.

Then chain mail, longsword, saber, and shield are for melee combat, and leather armor and crossbows are for ranged combat.

While discussing how to raise money, some of the players couldn't help but post on the forum to express their sincere greetings to the planning team and their families.

[This leaves no way out for ordinary players.]

[It's not that exaggerated, actually. It's not that bad. Players don't have much money these days, and the gold farming groups don't have much inventory.]

[So, is there any brother who can lend me some money? I don't have to pay it back. I want to be a full armor warrior!]

[I'm working hard on mining, hoping that next time I can have enough money to buy equipment from my wife's shop.]

Chris, who was secretly peeking at the forum screen, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. She knew that she had overlooked something important.

Most players now probably only have a few gold coins, and the more powerful ones only have a dozen or so.

A set of leather armor costs about two gold coins on the market, and chain mail costs six gold coins. A complete set costs about thirty or forty gold coins.

Such a price is definitely not something that players can afford at this point in time.

Except for some rich people who are willing to spend money to buy game coins.

After thinking for a while, while the players were all on the keyboard criticizing the planner, Chris reached out and beckoned Carlis over, whispering something.

Then she pretended to change her clothes and rest.

"Cough cough."

After her Royal Highness the Princess left for a while, Karis walked to the center of the camp and coughed a few times to attract the attention of all the players.

"Well, fellow foreign warriors, I know you've only just arrived in our world and your wallets aren't very well-off, so on behalf of the First Regiment of the City Guards, I'd like to make a suggestion."

"We, the First City Guards, can provide you warriors with some modest assistance, such as lending you money."

"certainly"

Caris's handsome face twisted slightly, and he continued to speak, suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart.

"As you all know, Her Highness the Princess has been developing the city of Weide, and the funds for our city guards have become much tighter. So, how about taking nine out of twelve and returning the interest?"

The silent gaze and the silent atmosphere wrapped around Caris tightly like a stream of water.

Then, just at this moment, Chris took off her blood-stained armor and pretended to go out to get water to wash her hair and arms, and happened to hear what Caris said.

"Sir Carlis!"

Caris immediately put on a panic expression and lowered her head towards Chris who was walking towards her quickly with an angry look on her face.

"How could you do this? These warriors fought bloody battles for our Weide City, how could you lend them money at high interest rates!"

"Your Highness, I have no choice. Lord Donald has also told you that Vader City is almost out of money. The current development depends entirely on your private treasury. Maid Yuni even complained that you sold all the jewelry you brought from the capital."

Caris raised her head with a stubborn look on her face, just like a subordinate who didn't want her highness to sell all the precious jewelry and let her suffer.

"But, but you can't do this. Besides, those jewels are useless in Vader City."

Chris pursed her lips, slightly raised her chin and tried to blink her eyes, like a girl who had been wronged but was trying hard not to cry.

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter."

Finally, a bootlicker from Her Highness Chris's Guardian Knights Guild couldn't help it anymore.
