Chapter 257 The Escaped Kress
Kress is not good at commanding battles, so she is just at the rear of the army, constantly listening to the battle reports from the front.

Wave after wave of attacks in the siege were continuously resolved. Although the opponent was caught off guard, he quickly adjusted and defended with all his strength. Kress frowned: "This is not right."

Vincent who was following her raised his eyelids: "What's wrong?"

No one answered him, Kress fell into deep thought to herself, while the others ignored him directly.

This situation has not happened once or twice, and Vincent has long been used to it. Kress’s real confidantes are all from the demons, and it seems that people who are not my race must have a different heart. These demons simply look down on him and ignore him. It's just a regular meal.

No one would pay too much attention to a "male favorite", not to mention that in the eyes of the demons, the human race is all lowly, so naturally no one would pay attention to him.

Kress looked solemn: "That's not right, they should have been out of shape for a long time to support them in such a high-intensity battle. How did they do it?"

It has been a day and a night, and the human race's defense is still very tight, and it can even be felt that they still have spare strength.

Is it because she made a mistake in estimating the Human Race Kingdom Army or because of other reasons?
"Vincent," she suddenly looked at Vincent with a solemn expression, "You once told me that the human army has only one granary."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Vincent, who was ignored by everyone, focused countless eyes on him. With a calm face, he nodded slowly: "That's right."

He won't lie about these things, because Kress also has spies in the human race, and such lies will be exposed directly.

"Then why hasn't the human army been affected?" Someone asked immediately.

Vincent was not flustered when he was questioned by Xingshi, he only raised one eyebrow, and said slowly: "How would I know."

Yes, how would he know, he is just an outsider, only taking care of trivial matters, what their arrangements and plans have anything to do with him.

"I don't doubt you," Kress said softly, "but our plan should have been leaked, do you have any clues?"

Not to doubt him?This is a bit ridiculous to say.

Of course he has clues, but how could he say that, he just said indifferently: "Is this the important thing now?"

Now that the situation is a foregone conclusion, their priority is what to do now.

Kress was very clear that she had no way out, she just thought for a short moment, then raised her head, her charming eyebrows and eyes were full of chills: "Destroy the city at all costs to attract the attention of the human army, let's go."

She was not in a good mood. Although the soldiers were humans, she had to leave behind the commander she brought from the demons who was good at commanding battles. In other words, this person was about to be sacrificed.

But this person can't be left alone. Once there is no commander, the army will be in a state of disarray, and it won't last long at all.

The commander also understood this very well, he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, it is my destiny to die in battle."

If she didn't know the reason of willingness, it would be impossible for Kress to climb to this position of the Demon Race, so she took a deep breath: "I see, you have to try to delay as long as possible."

After explaining, Kress laughed at herself, came here in high spirits, but walked away like a lost dog, who would be unwilling to do it to anyone.

The commander said: "The people on the abandoned avenue will walk with you."

Kress understands that people on the abandoned avenue can be discarded when necessary, so she replied without any hesitation, "Okay, let them follow along."

A small group of hundreds of people secretly broke away from the main force from the rear of the army, and ran like fleeing for their lives.

Vincent followed Kress like a quiet shadow. His status was embarrassing, and he would never speak unless necessary to avoid attracting others' attention.

It should have been a smooth journey, but it encountered a trap. The horse of the person who was walking in front of the road suddenly jumped forward and fell directly into a deep pit. There should be sharp objects placed underneath. The shouting stopped abruptly.

He raised his hand to protect Kress, drew out his wand, and directly cast the shield magic, resisting the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and then watched Kress's people form a protective circle between him and Kress .

Hmm... Protecting Kress is the main thing, he is just passing by, or he is cheeky. According to other people's thinking, they probably hope that he will be shot to death by random arrows.

"Our whereabouts have been leaked?" Kress asked with a tense face. If the ambush here is the human army, they will really be done this time.

Vincent took a look from a distance: "It's a gangster in the city."

Kress's people quickly recognized who it was, and cursed secretly: "These rascals are very annoying."

Isn't it annoying, whether it is the people on the abandoned road or the gangsters, they are all cockroaches and rats, they can't see the light and can't be beaten to death, and even steal things in the middle of the night.

At this time, I didn't care to ask why these gangsters are here to ambush, the most important thing is to rush over, Kress said: "It's just ordinary people, magicians form formations!"

There are not many magicians on Kress's side, they are all brought by her from the Demon Race. Although the people on the abandoned road have also learned magic, but the learning time is too short and they are all elementary magic. People with lace don't form well.

But the opponent's magic came faster, and Kress's people had to stop the magic.

"How can there be a magician in the gang?" Kress asked sharply, feeling that something had escaped her control.

That's right, she didn't understand how commoners could have magicians, but Vincent knew very well that Kress didn't take the old noble lady seriously, and after all, she suffered backlash.

"Let's find out where these magicians come from immediately." Kress' investigator said.

"No, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. If the Royal Army catches up, we won't be able to leave," Vincent said to Kress, pointing to the people on the abandoned avenue who fought with the gangsters, "get rid of them, let's go."

That's right, it was the intention to take the people from the Abandoned Avenue along, so Kress nodded and took Vincent's proposal: "Do as he said, prepare a large-scale wind movement magic. "

Gathering the power of a few magicians can make more than a dozen people move in the air, but no more people can do it. There are people from the abandoned avenue in front, and Kress's confidants cast the magic smoothly, bringing Kress and Vincent Special lift.

After confirming that Kress was out of danger, the person in charge of the rear yelled at the people on the abandoned avenue: "Hold on, we will pick you up after we deliver Mrs. Kress to a safe place."

This is a promise that is not intended to be fulfilled at all. Those who believe will naturally fight hard to kill the enemy. Those who don't believe... what can those who don't believe do? In any case, it has reached the principle of making the best use of people.
