Can't I develop my own character?

Eventually, runners-up Kosotho couldn’t take it anymore.

"retreat!!!"

Luke roared.

This was the most embarrassing and terrifying battle he had ever fought!

Without hesitation, the soldiers stayed behind while the generals went ahead. After giving the order, he turned around and ran.

As a result, he suddenly felt a sharp pull all over his body, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand. The intense pain made him fall directly to the ground, and his body bent like a shrimp in pain.

"Uhhhhhh!"

A bloody mist rose around him.

The next second, Charlie came down from a distance, her sword landing in front of Luke's head, and she said calmly—

"Checkmate."

...

the other side.

Major Robert is leading the Berman City army in a general attack on the mountain.

The friendly forces (Royal Guards) were intercepted by an army. They are now the main force to rescue the princess. Robert wished he could grow wings and fly to Her Royal Highness the Princess, but he regretted that his men were useless. It has been almost two hours, and they have not yet broken through Kosothoa's defense.

They are going to rescue, not to collect bodies!

"Damn, are you all just eating for free? Come on!"

Watching the retired troops retreating from the front again, Rob was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet.

"Sir, we don't have enough firepower and can't rush forward!" an officer shouted.

In a team of 2,000 people, there were less than 200 musketeers, and they were still using old weapons. Most of the money Bill got was used to support the blood bishop. Where would he get the extra money to arm the army?

After all, he never thought that he would need the city defense forces.

Ryan was even more short of money after taking over. He couldn't even fill his own pockets. Besides, time was tight and the task was heavy. He had no way of getting weapons for the city defense forces.

This resulted in the city defense forces, which originally lacked combat power, being unable to break through Kosothoa's defense line by relying solely on sword and shield attacks.

Robert was cursing in anger when he suddenly received news from the front that some chaos had occurred in the Kosotho runner-up team and their originally solid defense line had collapsed.

Upon hearing this, he quickly seized the opportunity and ordered the entire army to attack.

After fighting for so long, the army of Berman City also suffered heavy casualties, but at least they still had the numerical base. More than a thousand people rushed forward with all their might, broke through the gap and rushed forward, and for a while they actually forced the Kosotho army to flee everywhere.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Rescue Her Royal Highness!" Robert roared excitedly. Military exploits! Honor! Right before my eyes! Am I this strong?!

Happiness came too quickly. He didn't expect to be able to get here so quickly. Seeing that he was already halfway up the mountain, Robert had already begun to imagine how he would show his loyalty when he met the princess.

He broke through the Kosotoya encirclement and came here!

It's a bit unreasonable for Her Royal Highness the Princess not to give him the rank of colonel, isn't it?

"Sir, a lot of people are coming down from above! They are the Kosotho runner-up!" an officer shouted.

"Don't be afraid, for the sake of Her Royal Highness the Princess, kill!"

"Kill!!"

The soldiers from Berman City rushed forward with all their might, but they found that these Kosotho soldiers had no intention of fighting with them at all. They just chopped them a few times symbolically, and then found the right opportunity to run away down the mountain.

"what's the situation?"

Rob was stunned.

"Sir, why do these people look like they are running for their lives?"

Rob frowned, then laughed: "Seeing us coming, of course he ran for his life."

The officer opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but held it back.

He wanted to tell Robert that they were actually at a disadvantage both in terms of numbers and weapons.

But the officer soon discovered that the formation of Kosotho's soldiers had become disorganized. He killed his way through the army but didn't even see a commander. What was even more frightening was that the further he went up the mountain, the more he could smell a foul odor that was unbearable.

The smell of blood, mixed with the smell of internal organs, was unbearable even for veterans who had been on the battlefield.

"Could it be that reinforcements have arrived before us?"

Robert and several other officers looked at each other.

When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Robert was shocked to see the Kosotho soldiers all over the ground.

"Look, sir, there's a bloody man over there!"

“There are some there too!”

"They're fighting the Kosotho soldiers!"

"Go up and have a look!"

The Kosotho runner-up had already retreated, but the broken formation became a mess. Some people ran down the mountain, and some were still fighting with the blood mercenaries on the mountain. There was no way they could escape at all as they were at the forefront of the attack.

When Rob and his men rushed up there, they saw the pile of broken bodies and immediately passed out on the spot.

Others also passed.

The new recruits were so frightened that they fell to the ground, leaving tears all over the floor.

Too tragic!

Is this hell?

"Company Commander?!"

At this time, a soldier from the first company looked in shock at the figure fighting with a group of blood mercenaries in the distance.

Rob hurriedly raised his head and saw 'Xali', who had just torn the last Kosotho soldier apart with a single sword strike, sending blood and viscera flying into the air like exploding fireworks.

"Yue!!!"

......

Half an hour later, everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain.

Rob straightened his clothes and took a few breaths to relieve his pale face from excessive sex.

He walked up to Casradi and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Major Robert of the Berman City Guards sends his greetings."

"Thank you, Major Robert." Casradi nodded slightly. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard at all, it's what we should do." Finally, Rob added, "It's all thanks to Mayor Ryan's wise leadership and his quick decision that we were able to arrive in time. And Miss Charlie, she was promoted by Mayor Ryan. Thanks to her, we were able to successfully fight our way through."

Although Robert was greedy and vain, he could still distinguish between the great and the small.

He knows who has made the greatest contribution and who should stand in the front row.

It's like 'Charlie', who defeated the Kosotho runner-up by herself. Can you believe it?

He would not laugh at the incompetent Kosotho runners-up, because he would definitely do the same if he were in their place. That kind of hell was not a place for people to stay, and it had nothing to do with the soldiers' courage.

"Yeah, thanks to Ryan."

Only now could Casradi breathe a sigh of relief. Although the casualties were still heavy, at least they had successfully overcome the difficulties.

Some of the royal guards were still alive, and she did not become the princess who abandoned her men and ran away. Echo was also alive, and more importantly, she destroyed Kosothoa's plan and avoided a bigger war within the empire.

Casradi could imagine that once the news of her death reached the imperial capital, war would surely break out.

Regardless of whether Maganna was responsible, her guilt would be determined, and a war would ensue between the Royal Army and the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke. The Royal Army versus the Iron-Blooded Legion would inevitably result in a mutually destructive outcome. The Empire could win, but it would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

By then, the surrounding forces, whether the Western Barbarians or Caint, will make a comeback.

A tragedy that destroyed a country due to the life of a princess!

After a short pause, Casladi walked towards Xia Li who was resting on the side. Because of the fight just now, no one dared to approach her within a ten-meter radius.

'Charlie' didn't care, or rather Ryan didn't care. He was more happy to be free and was laughing at 'Charlie's' level 26.

"Thank you again, Miss Charlie."

"Your Highness." 'Xali' stood up. "This is the mission Mayor Ryan gave me. I will complete it no matter what."

Is it just Ryan's mission...Casradi sighed in her heart, as expected, this kind of person doesn't care about status and glory. Her influence as a princess is completely incomparable to Ryan's.

"Yes, this time it's all thanks to Ryan. I'll remember his kindness."

Casradi said seriously.

It's not just because Ryan rescued her, but also because of a series of bad consequences. It can be said that Ryan's kindness this time is much greater than it seems.

"...Excuse me, what is your occupation?" Kasradi asked hesitantly.

Generally speaking, extraordinary people would not take the initiative to ask each other about their occupations, in case someone would infer their occupational abilities and target them. However, just now, 'Xia Li' was already killing like crazy, and all the abilities that should be displayed were displayed.

However, Kasradi couldn't really tell what 'Xali''s' profession was, he only knew that it was the power of death.

"Ryan said not to tell anyone else," said Charlie.

"Oh, is that so..." Casradi pursed her lips. Since 'Charlie' had said so, she couldn't ask any further. Otherwise, she could only ask Ryan, but that wouldn't be a good idea. Someone used a trump card to save you, but you still wanted to dig into the matter.

Forget it.

Ryan is loyal to me anyway.

After chatting with 'Xali' for a few words, Casradi ordered the army to start moving.

It was completely dark, but they still had to leave quickly. Although the Kosotho army was defeated, there were still a lot of people. Moreover, Casladi knew that there must be someone behind all this. Otherwise, how could Avik, a mere viscount, dare to attack her?

Magna? It's hard to say. After all, what good would killing me do for the Grand Duke right now? And it's all public.

...

at the same time.

Berman City.

Looking at the team moving forward silently in the interface, Ryan finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa to rest.

"I didn't expect the Blood Knight class to be so useful on the battlefield."

It was different from the time in Cazorla Prison. At that time, there were too many extraordinary people and the blood mercenaries could not hold on. 'Xia Li' could not kill everyone, and the efficiency of recovering blood and killing was not high.

So 'Xia Li' is hard to resist.

But it's different on the battlefield. Ordinary soldiers can't cause fatal damage to 'Xia Li' at all. The damage they do to her is not enough to restore her health. She also has blood mercenaries acting as meat shields to attract firepower. With the blood sacrifice skill, it's difficult for her to die.

Of course, Ryan would not be so naive as to think that 'Charlie' is really invincible. First of all, the terrain plays a huge role. Secondly, the combat power of the Kosotho runner-up is indeed not strong. If it faces the Iron Blood Legion, it will definitely be defeated.

Moreover, she went on a killing spree this time. Next time the other party finds out, they will definitely send out extraordinary people to deal with "Xia Li".

The battlefield was filled with swords and sabers, and even Grand Duke Maganna had to be careful, let alone 'Charlie'.

However, this wave really made a lot of money. Not only did I advance, but my level also rushed straight to level 26. Unfortunately, not many things dropped when I killed people. It might also be because the opponents were too weak. There was nothing except a few steamed buns. "Xia Li" was too lazy to pick them up.

at this time.

A shadow emerged from the darkness.

"Sir." Bloody Clothes bowed respectfully, "Captain Gluck sent back word that their attack failed."

"Failed?"

Ryan raised his brow.

"Yes, they infiltrated Kosothoa and were thwarted by an unknown supernatural being when they attacked Avik. The enemy was very powerful. Myron and Adi died, but the others managed to escape."

You can tell that Xueyi's voice is a little low. She is usually a cold-tempered killer, but they are a team after all, so they still have some feelings.

Ryan nodded slightly: "Let Gluck and the others come back... and have a good rest."

"Yes."

The blood-stained clothes turned into a shadow and left.

"Huh~ Really, this is a huge loss."

Originally, Gluck and his men were going to rescue the princess, but after confirming that 'Charlie' could kill people, Ryan sent them to Kosothoa.

There is someone behind Avik, and the Grand Duke is far away in the West and may not be able to investigate it. Time is tight, so Ryan wants Gluck to capture Avik and interrogate him thoroughly.

However, they didn't expect that there was actually a master who could defeat Gluck's team. The opponent had at least a third-level extraordinary person, and the defense was probably very tight.

The guns and cannons had extremely ferocious firepower, and it was not so easy to kill low-level transcendents.
