Chapter 105 War resumes
The celebration party held by the giants was obviously not as lively as that held by humans, but it was novel.
Even though Her Royal Highness the Princess had introduced the customs of the giants to him in detail the day before, he still felt different when he actually experienced them.
For some reason, during the formal sessions, Diliya always invited him to go up and interact, but he didn't care. Every time he looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess, she seemed to be urging him to go quickly.
Valken had a great time, but later he realized that His Highness did not seem to participate in this activity.
After eating and drinking, Diliya prepared to take the two of them to rest.
Cecilia and Valken followed Delia, and Cecilia whispered, "How do you feel?"
"It feels very interesting. These customs are quite meaningful. It can be seen that the culture of the giants before was not as barbaric and lawless as the rumors say."
Cecilia smiled.
Before Delia brought the two into the room prepared in advance, a knight trotted in with a hurried look on his face.
Cecilia and Valken looked at each other, "What happened? Why are you so nervous?"
The knight quickly adjusted his breath and said, "There is also a demon invasion in Mach Mountain. The invaders are wizards. They invaded at three in the morning last night and the entire village was wiped out."
The smile on Cecilia's face disappeared, and Valken's expression was not much better.
The knight continued, "The wizards are on the move. If the news is accurate, according to the prediction of Commander Droville, the enemy should have already reached the city of Banlusevi."
The city of Banlushevi, the main city of the Dukedom of Bulwell.
No wonder when Droville asked Duke Bulville for help, the other party remained on the sidelines. It turned out that they were guarding against this move.
Regardless of whether Duke Bulville was timid or prepared for a rainy day, it was not too bad now that the city of Banlusevi had soldiers to defend it.
It's a pity that the lives of the villagers along the way were lost.
Cecilia vaguely remembered that in the original work, the invasion of the demons was not so early and the scale was not so large.
First it was the city of Aslade, then the city of Banrusevi.
It seems that the demons have made preparations beyond just the Buddha Gold Mine.
"Take another trip to tell Drovere that he should tell the village chief or city lord at the foot of the Wakadi Mountains about the possible invasion of the demons as soon as possible. In any case, they must be more prepared. This war against the demon invasion may be a protracted one."
The knight was shocked when he heard this and quickly went back to report to Droville.
Valken and Delia also heard clearly what the knight and Cecilia said.
Cecilia looked at the two of them, "What do you think?"
Dilia took the lead and said, "If it is really as Your Highness expected, I would like to take my people to contact the giant settlements along the way. We giants have lived under the Wakadi Mountains for so many years, and most of our settlements are built on various large and small mines. If the demons invade, we will be the first victims."
This is true. Just now, Cecilia did not dare to ask whose village the massacred belonged to.
As long as you don't ask, you can still have a chance.
But obviously, Delia already had the answer in her heart, "I know that my power is not that strong, but I think I have to try no matter what. I will save as many settlements as I can. Even if I die on the way, I am willing to do so."
Cecilia's eyes were red, "I'll go with you!"
"No!"
Valken interrupted anxiously, "Your Highness, no."
Cecilia looked at Valken.
Valken took a deep breath and said, "You have more important things to do. You need to go back to Petra to ask for reinforcements for Drover."
This sounds high-sounding and is not wrong in principle, but it hides Valken's selfish motives. If they return to Petra, His Majesty may still not let Your Highness out.
Cecilia knew it too.
During the battle against the vampires, even though the fourteen of them relieved a lot of soldiers who were assimilated by the vampires and reduced the death toll, the number of soldiers sacrificed on the front battlefield was still not small.
She had also heard about Droville's request for support from Petra before. Although she didn't know the reason, the end result was that Gallup had no intention of sending additional support until now.
Now that the city of Benlushev is in distress, it is natural for General Droville to go and provide support.
Cecilia had a rough idea of how many people there were in Droville at the moment.
Wizards are not like vampires. They can summon liches and skeleton soldiers. Skeleton soldiers cannot be killed or destroyed. Only fire can stop them a little.
As for liches, compared to normal beasts, they have some magic of their own. When the magic is not completely exhausted, liches can release magic related to their own species.
It just so happens that they are born with these magics, and humans have not been able to learn anything from them.
The soldiers led by Drover were all ordinary people, and only the twelve people in the magic team knew magic.
Most of these people don’t know whether they can survive if they go there.
The situation is not optimistic.
Diliya also said, "Your Highness really needs to do things that can change the situation. Believe me, I will definitely see with my own eyes the beautiful future that Your Highness has built for us."
Cecilia had never hated herself so much for being so useless.
If she had thought a little more, she would have been complacent and smug after her victory.
"You must be careful on the road and avoid the mine entrances as much as possible."
Delia nodded, "I know, Your Highness, please be careful on your way back to Petra."
After saying that, he said goodbye to Cecilia. The celebration banquet had just ended and the giants had just returned to their houses. They had not yet started washing, let alone resting.
Diliya planned to take advantage of this opportunity to hold a meeting for them to discuss the matter.
Cecilia did not dare to delay, "Go gather our people and see if we can find two cars in Aslaide City and head back to Petra first."
Valken pointed to the sky and said, "The mountain road is rugged and it's not safe at night. We'd better set off early tomorrow morning."
Cecilia was anxious and lost her composure for a moment. "You are right, but gather the people first and spend less time tomorrow morning."
Valken immediately went to do it, and before leaving, he said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon, you wash up and rest first."
Cecilia had no choice but to nod, and she added, "It would be best if we could ask Finnian to return with us."
Valken didn't understand the logic, but since His Highness had given the order, he just had to do it.
