Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead - Chapter 48 - 48

Chapter 48: Chapter 48

“Quickly, fire them! Don’t hold back! We absolutely can’t let those Abyssal demons get close! Blast them away!!”

Atop the walls of Galros Fortress,

Facing the encroaching pressure of death, Krimed had become somewhat hysterical, continuously roaring.

Hearing his words, the conflicted mages exchanged glances but eventually chose to obey the command.

They increased their output of military magic, and a continuous barrage of fireballs rained down on the black ocean like monsters under the fortress!

Witnessing this scene,

The vice leader felt extremely uneasy.

Gritting her teeth, she couldn’t help but run to Krimed’s side.

“Lord Krimed! Shouldn’t we cover for the asumos knights and get them into the city first?! No matter what, they have signed a temporary treaty with our Snowy Night Empire! Isn’t it completely inappropriate to fire our allies like this? This will likely lead to diplomatic repercussions in the future…”

“Who cares if it’s appropriate?!” n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the first platform to present this chapter.

Hearing the vice leader ‘s words, Krimed frowned, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her in front of him.

“The Abyssal demons are already attacking! Finding a way to stop them is our top priority! As for those church knights, who cares what happens to them? They’re just a bunch of swindlers who use the Goddess’s name to deceive and exploit others! Let them die! It doesn’t matter if they were killed by our mans We’ll just say they were killed by the Abyssal demons later! No one will blame us!”

“But, but…”

“But what?! Just follow my orders! Besides, with so many Abyssal demons chasing them, who knows if those people haven’t been infected? Maybe they’re already infected and beyond saving! Just treat them like Abyssal demons! So, stop your endless chattering! If you keep talking, I’ll throw you down to feed the Abyssal demons!”

Krimed’s eyes were already filled with terrifying murderous intent,

Frightening the vice leader into silence.

Seeing the vice leader with nothing to say, Krimed once again focused his attention on the mage troops standing on the platform nearby and tirelessly urged,

“Hurry up! You useless lot! Increase your power!! We absolutely cannot… Huh?!!”

However,

Before Krimed could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly narrowed as a black beam of light abruptly entered his line of sight!

?!

Huh?!

What is that?!

“Boom!!”

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, a cloud of dust, and the rapid spread and eruption of black Shadow power! The entire platform, including the eight Magi standing above, was instantly enveloped in black energy!

Under the horrified gazes of Krimed and the soldiers, the enormous red magic circle and the entire platform suddenly collapsed! The eight powerful mages were instantly engulfed by the black energy, and amidst the sounds of unbearable agony, they were corroded into puddles of blood!

The shockwave from the explosion rapidly spread, instantly shattering several nearby soldiers into pieces.

Although Krimed raised his hand in defense just in time, he was still sent flying dozens of meters by the terrifying force!

“What… what on earth is going on??”

As Krimed got up and looked towards the platform, it was already a hellish scene of black, viscous, corrosive liquid eating away at everything. A soldier, whose body had been half-corroded and whose lower half had turned into chilling white bones, was hysterically crawling towards Krimed.

His mouth was filled with indistinct and miserable wails.

Witnessing this scene, Krimed’s spine chilled, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

However,

When he looked around, the fortress commander’s eyes suddenly contracted, and his entire face twisted in horror and absurdity.

Not only the platform in front of him,

All six platforms that were casting military magic had been struck by black beams! They were uniformly corroded to nothing, along with half of their high-ranking mages in Galros Fortress…

“How… how… how could this happen??”

In an instant, Krimed was at a complete loss, standing there dumbfounded, his brain almost crashing as he stared at the surrounding devastation.

“Those… those Abyssal demons… they actually… actually attacked my mage troops??”

Aren’t Abyssal demons supposed to be mindless creatures?

Why would they… why would they focus their attacks on the mages?

Krimed was utterly baffled at this moment, and while the commander stood there dumbstruck,

Not far away,

A silver silhouette suddenly entered Krimed’s field of vision!

Seeing the silver-haired girl who had jumped onto the city walls from outside the fortress, and the several asumos Order knights behind her, Krimed’s face immediately changed, and he shakily pointed his finger at them.

“You… you!! How could you??”

Krimed despised the asumos knight,

He really did! That’s why he had ordered the bombardment.

But he was also well aware of the terror of the Asumos church.

If these people survived and reported his actions today back to the church, his future would undoubtedly be ruined!

‘Damn it,’

‘How did these people… not die?!’

‘No, this won’t do, they can’t be allowed into the fortress like this!’

Having become somewhat hysterical and even losing his rationality due to the shock, Krimed stared fiercely and suspiciously at the members of the Asumos church knights.

“No! You can’t come in!! You must have been infected by the Abyssal demons! If you come in, you’ll kill us all!!”

Upon hearing Krimed’s words that seemed to be bordering on insanity,

Meng Xi’s light purple eyes narrowed slightly, her icy gaze sweeping over this clown who had torn up their agreement.

Although she really wanted to cut down this foolish man who had nearly caused her death, considering that they were still in Galros Fortress and on Krimed’s territory, Meng Xi forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

Trying her best to speak in a calm and peaceful tone, she said:

“Mr. Krimed, please rest assured, we have not been infected. Our vital energy…”

However,

Before Meng Xi could finish, Krimed rudely interrupted her words.

“Who knows if you’re lying or not! If you’re truly not infected and not hurt by the Abyssal demons, then strip off your clothes and armor to prove it! If you can’t prove it, then get the hell out of here!”

I refuse to believe that after being chased by the Abyssal demons for so long, you don’t have a single injury!

Even if it’s a wound from a fireball explosion! As long as there’s a wound! I’ll insist that it was the work of the Abyssal demons! Then I can ‘rightfully’ throw you all out! It would be easy for me to silence my soldiers! As long as you’re dead, no one will know about this!

With these thoughts, Krimed couldn’t help but reveal a creepy smile.

Seeing this smile, Meng Xi bit her lip.

At this moment, she had already guessed Krimed’s intentions.

“Krimed, you… ”

On the other hand,

After hearing Krimed’s words and guessing his intentions, not only Meng Xi but also the pink-haired girl in her arms shared the same thoughts. An extremely dissatisfied emotion emerged in the girl’s mind.

‘It seemed,’

‘They had been at ease for far too long,’

‘To think that someone like this could become a fortress commander…’

As Krimed continued to say words that were nothing but oppressive, an undetectable crimson light shone in the beautiful blue eyes of the pink-haired girl. Far away, a little eight-eyed creature in the Abyssal demon horde suddenly lifted its head…

Of course,

Krimed would never notice these details. At this moment, he had already drawn the sword at his waist, preparing to forcefully drive Meng Xi and the others out of the fortress.

“Sorry everyone, since you can’t prove your innocence, then I can only… huh???”

However,

Before Krimed could finish his words,

A surge of black light suddenly erupted in the distant Abyssal demon horde!

An ice-cold, murderous black beam whistled towards them from afar! Caught off guard, it accurately hit Krimed’s head without any deviation!

“Huh???”

After a brief exclamation,

Under the panic-stricken gazes of the Galros Fortress soldiers, Krimed’s words came to an abrupt halt.

His head and upper body were instantly engulfed by the black energy, turning into a nauseating viscous black liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye…

Yumo: Hmph~~
