Chapter 145 Ogre
Chapter 145 Ogre
Judging from the newspapers, the Wandering Adventurers Guild followed Droville throughout the entire operation.
It can be said that the city of Aslade now has no other force to help them fight against the vampires except for the three or four thousand soldiers who defended the city before.
As for the giants outside the city...
I don’t know if Delia and the others are still there.
Two or three days ago, Droville won a great victory in the city of Igesoping.
According to Cecilia's understanding of Droville.
At least until yesterday, he and his men were probably still resting.
There might be some action today.
But it remains to be seen whether Droville has received the news that Aslade City is facing another vampire invasion.
Cecilia looked at how far the city of Yigsoping was from her current location, and then looked at how far the city of Aslade was in the city of Yigsoping.
I have to say that I am very far away from both the city of Igsoping and the city of Aslaide.
Cecilia flipped through the newspaper again.
I saw that the dukes of other territories were sending more men to the Wakadi Mountains.
It's not Cecilia complaining.
She had been traveling from Aslade back to Petra, and from Petra to the south, and now it had been almost twenty days.
Cecilia could understand the magician army.
After all, when magic is increased so suddenly, it takes time to stabilize, otherwise something bad may happen.
It takes about the same amount of time to stabilize your magic level.
Other territories will send reinforcements at a slower pace.
Nearly twenty days have passed, and we haven't seen them send out many people.
The total number of people in the five territories is less than 30,000.
Then I thought of Babbitt's plan to recruit 100,000 people.
I hope he can really get it.
I just hope that when he has recruited more than 10,000 people, he can send them over first.
Don't be foolish and insist on gathering 100,000 people before setting off.
I flipped through the newspaper again, but there was nothing worth noting.
Cecilia always felt something was wrong.
She put the newspaper aside and looked at the people around her who had come from Huguzhi City with her. These people knew that she was a princess, but still called her the Duchess.
It's obvious that it was Babbitt's doing.
Cecilia couldn't correct it, so she didn't bother to do anything.
After a short rest, the group set off for Aslaide City.
I didn't expect that after twenty days, I would still have to fight against the vampires in Aslade City.
The Rose Daily did not explain the situation of the vampires in Aslade City.
Is it the same sixth generation vampire from last time?
Or one with a higher generation?
What about the quantity?
More or less than last time?
A lot of questions, but no answers.
Since I can't come up with any result no matter how hard I try, it's better to just concentrate on my journey.
Cecilia didn't know what it was like near the Wakadi Mountains in peacetime.
What she can see now is—
There were broken houses, civilians fleeing with their families, and orphans and widows hiding at the foot of the wall.
Seeing Cecilia and the others heading deeper into the cave, someone kindly reminded them, "Don't go any further. There's a war zone ahead. Leave now! Leave now!"
Yes, the Daily Rose only has good news.
It describes the great victory of Droville, the joining of the magician army, and the weapons of the Wandering Adventurer Guild...
But it didn’t mention the failure of the war and the displacement of people on the front line.
Not far ahead, we were about to leave the Wakadi Mountains.
Have the demons already attacked here?
The city of Aslade was invaded by the vampires once again, and it was in a position where it could not escape.
It was too close to the Wakadi Mountains.
But this place is at least two cities away from the Wakadi Mountains.
Then take into account the distance between cities.
Cecilia immediately changed the destination, "To the war zone they mentioned."
On the way, we learned from the refugees that the invading demons were ogres.
No wonder they abandoned the city and fled.
Ogres are larger than giants, and they do not only get nutrition from humans.
It is an omnivore like humans, but it just loves to eat people.
A 1.8-meter-tall human being is just one of them.
The disadvantages are also obvious.
The giants are much smaller than them and have difficulty reproducing, so the overall number of ogres is not large.
In addition, it is too big and too eye-catching to be hidden.
And a physiological structure similar to that of humans.
Except that the skin is much tougher, it is basically a human being magnified three to five times.
Killing an ogre is somewhat difficult for ordinary soldiers.
Their skin is too tough to cause fatal damage to them from knives and guns.
Cecilia glanced at the person sent by Babbitt and said, "Put me in front and go back directly."
Several people almost said in unison, "Madam, you can't do that."
Then they began to talk at once, "If the adults knew that we let you fight the demons alone, we would have no chance of survival if we returned."
"That's right. Besides, you are the princess. If something unexpected happens, even if Lord Babbitt lets us go, His Majesty the King won't let us go!"
"Even though we are of no use to you, we will still die standing in front of you."
……
The noise gave Cecilia a headache.
"You don't have to go back. Just put me in front and hide somewhere. I'll come find you."
Several people still objected in unison.
Cecilia couldn't listen any longer, "If you don't listen to me, just get out of here."
The few of them then fell silent.
He was probably still feeling indignant, as he kept stealing glances at Cecilia, wanting to say something but not daring to.
Finally, in a relatively safe place, Cecilia separated from the others. "If I find out that you guys are following me secretly, you can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life."
Cecilia's eyes were serious and it was clear that she was not joking, so the few of them had to give up their thoughts.
Before leaving, Cecilia placed tracking on a few people.
After disappearing from the sight of several people, he immediately turned invisible and walked forward.
There is no need for Cecilia to go to great lengths to find it.
Those seven or eight ogres were about four or five stories tall when they stood upright.
In this era, it is considered good for ordinary residents to have a small second floor, and at most they can build a attic on top.
In short, it will not exceed three layers.
The ogre stood in the city, as conspicuous as could be.
Seeing that the nearest ogre was still quite some distance away from him, he had already grabbed a human and was about to put it into his mouth.
Cecilia teleported decisively, not caring whether her magic was consumed or not, and first sent a fireball into the ogre's mouth.
The ogre felt pain, and the human in his hand was released and fell straight to the ground.
Cecilia caught the opponent with a wind magic.
Fortunately, this person reacted quickly and started running as soon as his feet touched the ground.
At the same time, Cecilia's invisibility magic failed and she was exposed to the eyes of several ogres.
