Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 251: Chapter 243: Imperial City Defense Battle

Xue Yinzhou’s eyes flickered with a terrifying murderous intent, delivering Shen Tang into Lu Xiao’s arms, and then swiftly charging forward!

Three Ninth Rank masters gathered together, battling fiercely—a rare spectacle throughout the ages!

The collision of terrifying forces triggered waves of tremors, causing intense spatial disturbances; even the beams and stone pillars showed signs of cracking!

The fish in the pond were afraid of getting caught in the crossfire, only caring to flee for their lives.

At this moment, Yun Han and Xue Yinzhou also formed a tacit understanding akin to ”the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” forgetting previous grievances, attempting to join forces to kill the disgusting lizard.

Zaxxis’s strength was formidable, having advanced to the Ninth Rank earlier than the others and now possessing Mid Ninth Rank power. However, he was not of the Strong Attack System. Facing the joint attack of two equally ranked enemies, he seemed slightly panicked and in retreat!

Moreover, he never intended to fight the two, only a fool would act with reckless bravery!

Seizing an opportunity, he tore open space single-handedly, vanishing instantly with Shen Qingli.

”Qingli!”

Yun Han was just a step away from retrieving her, yet he watched helplessly as the female was taken by enemy forces, his eyes blood-red, collapsing to his knees in despair.

Having the bride abducted at the wedding was the ultimate insult for any male, filled with unbearable pain and anger!

Xue Yinzhou stood tall in the center of the hall, isolated from the chaos and falling debris around him, his eyes icy and murderous, staring intently at the direction Zaxxis disappeared, unleashing black energy wildly, bombarding the surrounding air in an attempt to find the space entrance.

But unfortunately, Zaxxis was too cunning, and the Space Ability was extremely skilled at concealment; it was impossible to locate the hidden space entrance.

The arriving guards dealt with all the assassins at the scene.

Yet, many Beastmen still perished or were wounded.

Yun Han was unable to find the space entrance; despite his rage, he had to give up.

He noticed Shen Xu fainted on the ground not far away, his expression tightened as he hurried over, squatting to check his breath.

Finding him still alive, Yun Han sighed in relief, carrying him on his shoulder to leave.

...

Meanwhile, after Shen Tang and the others exited the ceremony site, they discovered the situation outside was even more chaotic!

A large number of rebel troops broke through the city defenses, massacring citizens within the city!

Nearby, a family was fleeing amidst the chaos, dressed simply, they were merely innocent commoners of the city, and the middle-aged female was holding a few-month-old cub.

A rebel soldier spotted them, revealing a cruel and maniacal smile, immediately raising his rifle.

Just as he was about to fire, a sharp earth spike rose from the ground, piercing his chest and nailing him to the ground!

Simultaneously, more earth spikes emerged from the ground, exterminating dozens of rebel soldiers within moments. Thunder, ice, flames, wind blades, and black fog followed, as more rebels were slain by mighty superpower attacks, slowing their invasion, yet unable to completely stop the atrocities.

The citizens of the city screamed in panic, fleeing to find a safe shelter, but all that awaited them was endless slaughter ahead.

Many Beastmen transformed directly into beasts, making the scene increasingly chaotic and uncontrollable.

A discarded cub was trampled amid the chaos, crushed into pulp.

Shen Tang didn’t even have time to save it.

Seeing this scene, she felt suffocated, her heart pained.

Using all her strength, she shouted loudly,

”I am Shen Tang, the Empire Princess. If you want to live, follow me!”

The woman’s voice was like a ray of sunlight piercing through the fog.

In the midst of wails and screams, so small yet reaching many.

”It’s the Princess!”

”It’s Shen Tang and her Beast Husband coming to save us?!”

”Quick! Go over there!”

”We are saved!”

An indescribable cohesion seemed to draw many Beastmen seeking refuge.

In those days, they couldn’t even imagine this; one day they would seek shelter from the foolish and incompetent princess. But now, the people felt an inexplicable trust in Shen Tang, without a hint of hesitation, not even recalling past grievances.

Shen Tang wished to lead the people out of the city in search of safety.

Lu Xiao descended from the sky, speaking coldly, ”No, Female Master, now is not a good time to leave the city, the outside is already surrounded by rebels, leading people out through the city gate is walking into a trap!”

Shen Tang’s mood sank to the bottom, surprised at the rebels’ quick action, realizing they had been planning this day for a long time!

The rebels intended to capture the Imperial City in one swift move, deploying troops beyond imagination.

From what they saw, these rebels were likely just vanguard units, the main force was yet to come!

This would be a daunting battle to defend the city!

”Then block the gates, don’t let them in!”

Lu Xiao remembered something, his voice urgent for the first time, ”Female Master, I recall you can use the Earth Style Skill, the rebels likely haven’t had time to lay traps underground; now is your best chance to leave!”

Shen Tang shook her head, ”I won’t go, I want to stay with you.”

”Tangtang!”

The Beast Husband had faces full of disapproval, worry filling their hearts.

Lu Xiao was resolute, for the first time defying her, ”Female Master, now is the best chance to leave, later we might actually be unable to escape!”

As Beast Husband, the Female Master’s safety was the highest priority, they must not let harm befall her!

Shen Tang smiled reassuringly, ”I know you are all worried about me, for my sake, but don’t forget I’m strong now, not worse than you.”

She demonstrated her Seventh Rank Peak Earth Element Ability.

Even stronger than Shen Li and Jia Lan present!

She proved with strength, ”Rest assured, I can protect myself, and definitely won’t hold you back.”

Xiao Jin’s face tightened, about to explain it’s not what he meant, but then saw the female seriously looking at them, ”...I will stay to protect you too.”

The moment those words fell, Xiao Jin’s voice abruptly stopped.

He was full of shock and forgot what to say, his lips and tongue especially dry.

Shen Tang’s voice was firm and resolute, each word clearly reaching their ears,

”Moreover, I am the Empire Princess, I have the responsibility to stay and protect the citizens, not hide behind a wall of flesh created by the people and the army, as a cowardly deserter!”

Lu Xiao, Shen Li, Jia Lan, Xue Yinzhou were all struck by these words.

Defending the nation was never a female’s duty, let alone such a noble Princess, she ought to be protected, yet she said she would protect them, protect the people!

At this moment, the Beast Husband clearly realized that Shen Tang was not a weakling needing their shelter, but a Female Master to stand with them in battle, their Monarch!
