Chapter 257 The Villain Lady Arrives 85
Vivian was extremely anxious. Although her father's action was brave and decisive, it was also extremely dangerous.
She tightly grasped the sword in her hand, her eyes sharp as torches, and moved through the battlefield full of artillery fire. Every step she took seemed exceptionally firm.
The wind, carrying the smell of gunpowder, blew across her cheeks, but it could not extinguish the faith in her heart and her worry about her father.
I promised the original owner to take good care of her father.
"We must find our father as soon as possible. We can't let him face danger alone." Vivian whispered to the guard beside her. Although her voice was soft, it revealed her unquestionable determination.
The guards nodded to each other. They had followed Vivian for many years and knew that this princess was not only extremely intelligent, but also had the courage and determination that were no less than that of men.
They quickened their pace, shuttled through the intricate battlefield, and relied on their familiarity with the terrain to quickly approach the rear of Leo's army.
The night was still dark, but the light of war dyed the sky red.
Vivian and her group finally arrived at the edge of where Leo's army was stationed. They saw that the camp was brightly lit and heavily guarded, and it was obvious that they were prepared for the upcoming raid.
"Spread out your forces and attack from all sides simultaneously. Make sure to create chaos." Vivian quickly arranged the tactics. Her eyes flashed with wisdom, as if she had foreseen the dawn of victory.
The team members quickly dispersed and launched attacks from four directions at the same time according to Vivian's instructions. Suddenly, alarms rang in the camp of Leo's army, and the soldiers were in a panic, picking up their weapons and preparing to fight.
Vivian took the opportunity to lead a few people to the main camp, where Leo was commanding the battle. She silently thought about her father's safety, but her steps did not stop for a moment.
In the main tent, Leo was standing in front of the map, frowning, thinking about the next action plan. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted his thoughts. He turned around and saw Vivian rushing into the tent with a few people, pointing the long sword in her hand directly at him.
"Vivian? Why are you here?" Leo was shocked, but also angry and confused. He had never expected that his third brother's former fiancée would appear in his enemy's camp at this moment.
Leo's astonishment froze on his face in an instant, and then turned into a complicated smile. That smile contained admiration for Vivian's courage, but also a bit of cunning and calculation.
"Vivian, what an unexpected visitor. King Lanster's only daughter actually stepped into this smoke-filled land. Is it to find your father, or... do you have other plans?"
There was a hint of tentativeness in his words, and his eyes moved between Vivian and the guards behind her, as if he was assessing the strength of both sides.
Vivian's lips curled up in a sneer, and there was no warmth in that smile, just like a sharp ice blade in winter.
"Leo, you seem to have forgotten that this kingdom now belongs to my father." Her words were firm and powerful, and every word was like a hammer, hitting Leo's heart.
When Leo heard this, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes, as if he had caught some excellent prey.
"Oh? Vivian, you are too naive. Do you think that you and these guards alone can shake my army of Leo? However, since you have offered yourself to me, I don't mind using you as an exchange and letting King Lanster come to me in person to beg for mercy."
Before he finished speaking, he wanted to wave his hand to call the guards outside the tent, but he found that it was unusually quiet outside the door, without any sound at all.
Leo's heart shuddered, and an ominous premonition arose. He turned back suddenly, and saw a faint blue light emanating from Vivian's body. It was an ancient and powerful aura that instantly filled the entire main tent.
"You...what did you do?" Leo's voice trembled with shock. He felt an unprecedented pressure coming from all directions, pressing him firmly to the ground, unable to move.
Vivian approached slowly. Her eyes showed both contempt for Leo and impatience. She wanted to solve all these troubles as soon as possible so that she could go out and gain experience.
"Stop talking nonsense, you've already lost."
Leo stared at Vivian with eyes wide open, incredulously, as if he wanted to penetrate her calm exterior and see the secrets deep in her soul. His face was distorted with anger and fear, and his voice was low and hoarse from being suppressed:
"You...are you the devil incarnate? This is impossible! How can a girl under 20 years old like you possess such a powerful power to overturn the world!"
Vivian smiled contemptuously, with a hint of compassion and helplessness in her smile. She slowly raised her hand and waved it lightly. The blue light in the main tent became even brighter, just like the first light of dawn, when the gentlest sunlight and the sharpest sword intertwined, creating a feeling of warmth and lethality.
"Leo, power is neither good nor evil. Only the heart of the user can define its nature. And you are the one who has tainted power with sin."
Leo struggled, trying to break free from the invisible restraints, but it was all in vain. His eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness, and finally, the long-suppressed anger turned into a hysterical roar:
"Vivian! You are a demon! All your powers are evil! The God of Light will not let you go! He will punish you from heaven and destroy you and your father together!"
Upon hearing this, Vivian just shook her head slightly, with a hint of pity in her eyes.
"If the God of Light really has eyes, how could he allow so much injustice and suffering in the world? All I do is to make this world less tyrannical and greedy like you."
After saying that, she took out an exquisite jade bottle from her waist. The jade bottle glowed with a faint blue light under the dim light, looking particularly mysterious.
"Since you are so keen on cursing with words, then please enjoy this 'tranquility'."
Vivian's voice was soft and decisive. She tilted the jade bottle gently, and a drop of crystal clear liquid fell into Leo's open mouth.
In an instant, Leo's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and then his mouth seemed to be tightly sealed by an invisible hand, and he could no longer make any sound.
Vivian did not stop. She turned around and swung the sword lightly. The tendons in Leo's hands and feet were broken. The severe pain made his face pale as paper in an instant, but he could only fall to the ground helplessly, whimpering in pain.
There was no hesitation or sympathy in Vivian's eyes.
"Remember, the consequences of today are all caused by your actions in the past." Vivian left a cold word, then turned around, left the main tent with the guards, and headed deep into the camp.
Her goal was clear: to completely eliminate those forces that resisted most fiercely and pave the way for her father's arrival.
The night was still dark, but the noise of war seemed to be fading away.
Vivian and her group shuttled through the camp like ghosts. Every time they swung their swords, the enemies fell and wailed in despair.
She was no longer the gentle princess, but turned into the god of death on the battlefield.
A few hours later, when the first ray of morning light penetrated the clouds and shone on the land baptized by war, Leo's camp was already dead silent.
The firelight danced in the ruins, illuminating Vivian's resolute figure. She stood high up, overlooking everything.
