I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 1080



20. Man, Gun Long, Shot Accurate

Unlike Arthur and the others, who, with cheerful words, plunged headlong into the boundless snowfield, my task was simply to “guard,” and as Arthur had said: if I encountered any stray “beasts” or “monsters,” I should deal with them to prevent them from causing trouble in the city.

Simply put: our mission was merely auxiliary. I had no objection to this obviously “safe” mission, but… the Rosian Empire wolf cavalrymen sent by Lady Reti to assist me were a bit restless.

They were already Reti’s elite guard-level wolf cavalrymen, yet they smoked, drank, and got tattoos—all the works. Their tempers were as volatile as Reti’s, which made me wonder: what standard did Reti use to select her guard, or… Perhaps, the closer one got to Reti, the more their personality resembled hers.

Soon, this group of burly roughnecks couldn’t sit still.

“Big Brother, when can we charge into the snowfield to cut down enemies like vegetables, Brother?”

Before I answer you, could you explain that address? Who told you to call me that, Reti?

“Our task is to wait, be patient. Even if we need to go and check, it’s too early now.”

“But, I suspect those Brits are secretly plotting something ‘big’! They deliberately let us guard, taking the benefits themselves!”

The roughneck’s words made me understand why they were Reti’s guards: unlike other Rosian soldiers, they seemed to possess some… intelligence!

The words just shouted out were also my current worry: how could Arthur’s contradictory actions be explained? Indeed, the most direct way was to wait a while, then secretly track them to find out the truth. Even though the wind and snow could instantly cover the footprints on the ground, the wolves ridden by the wolf cavalry could track the scent left by Arthur and the others’ actions.

Should… I do that?

I hesitated for a moment, but the next moment, some inevitable “accidents” interrupted my thoughts! At the edge of my vision, in the snowfield, some stray beasts began to run out. It was strange because… Arthur’s group didn’t even see those few beasts?

In simpler terms: they missed the monsters?

However, the Rosian wolf cavalrymen didn’t care about that. Finally, they had some work to do, and they were “fired up.” They mounted their steeds, drew their swords, and were about to charge!

It seemed fine, but… after glazing at the script, I still found something amiss.

【The Rosian wolf cavalrymen fall into “chaos.”】

Some… scenarios I didn’t want to see were happening at this moment, and that familiar content was aimed at the wolf cavalrymen behind me! They hadn’t done anything!

So, the source of “danger” was reduced to just one place—what they were about to do would lead them into “chaos”!

“Stop right there!”

My shout finally halted those who were about to rush out. After a moment of silence, I spoke, “Don’t rush in! Don’t you have guns? Get down and deal with it from a distance; don’t let those stray dogs get close!”

“Huh? Isn’t that a waste of bullets?”

At first, the hot-headed brothers wanted to argue, but the next moment, it was as if they sensed something, and without exception, they quieted down.

“Well, what my good brother said isn’t wrong. Hiss… I have a bad feeling about this charge; my second dog also told me not to go.”

The brother who had just called for me patted his mount and frowned.

It seemed that being part of Lady Reti’s personal guard meant these people were not just about smoking, drinking, and getting their hair done.

“Listen up, everyone! Draw your guns and keep your distance!”

Gunfire erupted immediately. The well-trained wolf cavalrymen were not so incompetent as to miss a few beasts, but should I say it was “expected”? Even before they could stop, catch their breath, and ask me what was going on.. .

Just as Arthur had said before, it was simple, yet the “troubles” kept coming.

More and more monsters appeared, and without exception, they charged towards us, or rather, towards the town of Northern Ireland behind us! More and more, with no signs of stopping. And yet, the script on my side remained unchanged!

【The Russian wolf cavalrymen fell into “chaos.”】

The content indicated that as long as these monsters were merely at the level of “troubles” and approached us, the Russian wolf cavalrymen would indeed “fall into chaos” as the script stated.

“How’s it going? Can you hold on?”

“Good brother, are you looking down on our guard? Dealing with mere monsters is no problem, but… I have a feeling there are people mixed in with them. Forget it, let’s just kill them all together~ But good brother, if this number keeps increasing, we might really have to draw our knives; our ammunition is limited.”

“No need for that. Stay here, don’t retreat, and don’t get close. Deal with all the remaining ones from a distance; don’t let any strange things get near anyone.”

I didn’t plan to wait any longer because just now, with the appearance of a brand new script, I felt a bit regretful and finally sorted out the doubts that had been lingering in my heart recently, including… why Arthur would act in such contradictory ways.

This script had nothing to do with Arthur. It was very ordinary, but… I couldn’t ignore it: 【The Russian wolf cavalrymen shot a member of the knight order!】

Why did this happen? Did these wolf cavalrymen misidentify and shoot their “comrade”?

Completely wrong. The brothers of Rosia did nothing wrong; they were merely dealing with the monsters. And Arthur’s determination to exterminate the monsters, as if facing a great enemy, was also not wrong, because they were indeed just going to exterminate the monsters.

But the identity of these monsters… was not some beast, monster, or mutated bizarre creature.

But rather… people! Members of the knight order who had fallen into chaos, possibly for a long time, or perhaps… just recently from Arthur’s team. Whichever it was, it represented that Arthur had led the team deep into the snowy plains for a “purpose” that, even knowing the odds were slim, and even risking total annihilation, must be accomplished.

She indeed knew the hidden truth of the “chaos,” because she wanted to resolve the “chaos” with her own hands!

In the next moment, as if confirming my suspicion, a new script appeared before my eyes.

【Members of the knight order affected by “chaos”!】

I also completely understood the reasons and purposes behind all of Arthur’s recent actions!
