The game has become a real alternate world

"Oh dear, such bad luck, leaving the warm and cozy castle to wander in this wilderness."

The gentle voice of the Third Princess slowly echoed around, but the only response was the sound of hoofbeats and the clatter and friction of armor.

She was now part of a cavalry unit, blood race knights charging, surrounded by ghouls and giant bats in the sky.

Counting these followers as cannon fodder, this unit's numbers were nearly 400 people.

Of course, the only thing worth mentioning was the less than 100 blood race cavalry.

Maybe at most, those twenty werewolves.

It was clear that this entire team existed for mobility; they were evidently pursuing some target.

"Why must I also be sent out? I have no desire to face my brother.

I don't want to end up dying at my brother's hands like that reckless fool."

Upon hearing the Third Princess's words, Wolf hurriedly reminded, "You must not speak about the Second Prince in such a manner, there are still soldiers who once served under him here."

After all, the Second Prince did match the personalities of those knights and soldiers from the past, also a brave military contestant.

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess merely pouted but didn't continue speaking.

However, it only kept her silent for a while, afterward she changed the topic and asked, "Do you have confidence to defeat my cunning brother?"

Wolf shook his head; with the Second Prince eliminated, what confidence could he have?

Though previously he could suppress the Second Prince until his death, but that was already a year ago.

God knows what else Kana, the Fourth Prince, might be hiding, at least from what the entire blood race royal court knows, Kana is a deeply scheming monster hiding his true nature.

Even his birth mother, a prestigious figure in the blood race royal court, was deceived by him.

His birth mother holds a prestigious status in the blood race royal court, no less than any blood race king's son.

Absolutely capable of standing on equal footing with the current princes.

If Kana knew this news, he would surely cry out injustice.

What Kana did in the past has no relation to the present.

The past him was the past him, the present him is the present him.

"But rest assured, Princess, our mission isn't necessarily to capture him, is it?

Our main goal is still to drive them out of here; if things really don't work, we can call for reinforcements, after all, this is still our territory."

The Third Princess nodded, though she seemed carefree, she remained internally anxious.

...

At the lighthouse.

Kana and others were gathered in a meeting room, discussing based on the available map intelligence.

"From these letters and the information on the map, we can ascertain that this cultist camp itself is going to retreat gradually over the next few days.

A large amount of supplies and possibly more fragments have already been carried away by the advance troops.

The piece we have is merely what they've collected recently these few days, yet to be sent away."

After speaking, Kana pointed at the map with his finger, indicating a location within the Cohen Kingdom.

"The most important place is here, Vitra City. Based on the letters exchanged and their route, we can deduce that this is the next target for the Evil God followers.

Not only these damned followers but also those damned blood race's target is here."

Lurik looked at the map, furrowing his brows slightly, "Their target is here? Why? They haven't even breached Gray Rock Fortress, and evidently, there will be heavy defenses here.

Even if they planned to attack from the coastal direction, they wouldn't easily gain any advantage, moreover, the city is not far from Gray Rock Fortress.

If they wanted to attack from behind, the enemy would surely anticipate it; it wouldn't be that simple."

Lurik, after all, among the Gray Mountain Dwarves, was responsible for leading external relations.

Engaging in various trade discussions and alike tasks were generally handled by him.

So he frequently visited Cohen Kingdom and was familiar with the area surrounding Gray Rock Fortress.

This city he couldn't recall how many times he'd visited.

"Normally, it is expected, but currently we aren't aware of Gray Rock Fortress's specific condition, correct?

First, we can confirm the blood race royal court's forces are certainly substantial, with almost no instance of low morale.

Fighting the blood race, how significant do you think the psychological pressure is on those soldiers?"

Upon hearing this question from Kana, everyone fell to silence.

Fighting the damned blood race, the toughest part is actually overcoming the psychological pressure.

After all, these blood races' disgusting image of eating flesh and drinking blood during combat profoundly impacts people.

Not to mention the battlefield environment; those with slight mental instability could easily collapse.

"If the enemy launches a fierce assault, even deliberately gathers more guards in the fortress, would the city's defenses be enough?"

Lurik glanced at it, helplessly shaking his head.

"Additionally, there's another problem; the city is neither too far from nor too close to Gray Rock Fortress. If a large number of wounded need immediate settlement, would here be the optimal location?

After all, if I recall correctly, there's a church here, with substantial personnel, and there are specialized areas for herb cultivation nearby, right?"
