Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Monica led her team, having just escaped Bellus Town, only to be stopped by a knight in heavy armor.

"Who are you? Why are you running?"

Monica's heart clenched, and fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead. She knew the situation was critical and could not afford any mistakes.

The team members behind her were also on high alert, subconsciously gripping their weapons, vigilantly staring at the suddenly appearing heavy armored knight.

Monica took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She stepped forward, forcing a slightly strained smile on her face, and respectfully replied, "Sir, we are just a group of ordinary adventurers. We heard that Bellus Town was quite lively, so we thought we'd come here to try our luck and see if we could find some work to earn money, and also replenish some supplies needed for our adventures."

Speaking of which, a hint of anger and grievance appeared on her face, and she continued, "But who would have thought that we would encounter a group of unreasonable people in the town? They saw that we had some valuables on us, and they had wicked intentions, insisting on robbing us.

We refused to comply and argued with them a few times. Good heavens, they directly called the city defense army. Their posture didn't allow us to explain at all, and they were about to arrest us. We really had no choice. To save our lives, we had to quickly escape the town. I hope you can understand and let us go."

The heavily armored knight sat on his tall warhorse, his eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Monica and the others as if trying to see through the truth behind their words and expressions.

After a moment, he frowned slightly and said in a muffled voice, "Hmph, you make it sound so easy. I've been patrolling near this town for a long time, and it's usually very peaceful here. How could such a thing happen for no reason as you say? Could it be that you've done something shady that caused the city defense army to deal with you?"

that would be courting death."

Monica's heart sank. She knew that once they followed the knight back to the town, they would likely face a situation with only a slim chance of survival.

She looked back at her teammates and saw the same determination in their eyes—they must not obediently submit.

So, she gritted her teeth, looked up at the knight again, and added a bit of toughness to her tone: "Sir, we are telling the truth. It's really unreasonable for you to take us back without distinguishing right from wrong. We just want to leave here and continue to other places to adventure. Please be merciful and don't make things difficult for us little adventurers."

The knight narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of suspicion in his gaze, obviously not believing Monica's statement.

He was silent for a moment, his eyes still fixed on Monica and the others, as if trying to see through the lies from their expressions and subtle movements.

Then, he slowly drove his horse forward a few steps, the hooves stepping on the ground making a "da da" sound, each sound seeming to knock on everyone's heart, making the atmosphere more and more tense.

The knight looked down at Monica condescendingly and said, "Adventurers passing by? Hmph, your words are full of loopholes. Bellus Town has always been peaceful. How could it treat you like that for no reason? Could it be that you did something shady that caused the city defense army to take action?"

With that said, his hand was already on the hilt of his sword, with the stance that he would strike at the slightest disagreement.

Seeing this situation, Monica's heart tightened. She knew that no matter how she explained, it might be difficult to dispel the other party's doubts. Immediately, she gave her teammates a look, signaling everyone to prepare for battle.

And the knight then said, "Since you refuse to tell the truth, then come back to the town with me, and we will clarify the matter in front of the town chief, so as to clear your name. If you insist on escaping, then I can only treat you as lawbreakers who disrupt the peace of the town."

However, although he said so, he was secretly calculating in his heart.

These adventurers seem to be quite strong. If they really fight, although he is wearing heavy armor and is not weak in martial arts, the other party has a large number of people, and each of them exudes a fierce aura. If they really fight, he may not be able to gain an advantage.

But it is his duty, and he cannot easily let them leave like this. He must find out their true identities and their purpose in coming to the town.

The amethyst, as the biggest secret of Bellus Town, is like a forbidden taboo. The heavy armored knights and others know its importance and must not allow this secret to be exposed in the slightest.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, with swords drawn and bows bent, the heavy armored knight suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart without warning. It felt like a pair of eyes hidden in the dark were staring at him, ready to give a fatal blow at any time.

Out of instinctive alertness, he didn't have time to think, and suddenly lay down on the back of the warhorse, his whole body clinging tightly.

Almost at the same instant, an arrow wrapped in a sharp wind sound, whizzed past the position where he was originally, the sharp arrow flashing with a cold light.

With a "swoosh" sound, it plunged into the ground not far away, the tail of the arrow still trembling slightly, which shows the great force of this arrow.

The knight's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He was both shocked and angry. He was shocked that this sudden arrow almost killed him, and angry that someone dared to carry out such a sneak attack under his nose.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes like electricity, looking in the direction from which the arrow came, and shouted loudly, "Who is it?"

Monica and the others were also shocked by this sudden change. They were stunned at first, and then secretly rejoiced in their hearts. No matter who the arrow was aimed at, at least it temporarily eased the tense situation between them and the knight.
