Chapter 7: Crushed Pride
The match between the two quickly attracted attention, and more and more people ran to the reclamation area to watch the excitement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoIn order to prevent the onlookers from affecting the reclamation work, the person in charge of the reclamation team called the security forces and asked them to draw a blockade line outside the reclamation area, and the onlookers would receive a verbal warning if they crossed the line.
After a long period of training, Lanning's stamina has grown to an amazing level. In terms of endurance, Yanhe completely relies on strong physical fitness, and he has not exercised much on weekdays. After more than an hour, Yanhe gasped for breath, and the frequency of his axe swing began to slowly decrease.
Lan Ning's side became more and more courageous, although the speed did not increase much, but it did not decrease. After another half an hour, Yan He couldn't play with Lan Ning like he did at the beginning, and even had to go all out to barely keep up with Lan Ning's speed. After another half an hour, Yan He would not be able to keep up with Lan Ning's speed at all.
Seeing that Yan He's speed of swinging the axe was getting slower and slower, Lan Ning showed Yan He a joyful smile that only a victor would show while swinging the axe. This time it was Yan He's turn to be unconvinced, but her body was already as heavy as lead, and Yan He had never felt like this since she was born.
Of course, Yan He, who was born with a strong physique, does not need to do any physical work with all his strength, and naturally does not feel tired. The feeling of exhaustion was very foreign to Yan He, and she didn't know how to deal with the situation. In a moment of distraction from exhaustion, the handle of the axe came out of her hand, and the axe was deeply embedded in a large tree in front of her.
I...... Lost?
Yan He stared blankly at the big tree in front of him, which only cut a small gap, and fell to his knees with a "poof".
I actually lost physically to an Iraa shrine maiden...... That's impossible...... No way......
She shook her head in disbelief, trying to raise her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, only to find that her two hands were no longer obedient. Lan Ning, who was on the side, saw Yanhe kneeling on the ground, and immediately dropped his axe to check the situation.
"Are you alright?"
Yan He didn't answer, just looked at Lan Ning in amazement, as if the half-crouching in front of her was not an Ira shrine maiden, but a terrifying monster.
"Can you see my hand?"
Yan He still didn't move.
"Can you hear me?"
Yan He still didn't move.
Lan Ning didn't know what was going on with Yan He's body, so he could only carry her on his back and send her outside the reclamation area, calling the witch to use her abilities to treat Yan He.
Whether in Ira World or in the New World, Crane is the first Iraa youkai to be healed by an Iraa shrine maiden. If she had remained awake, her self-esteem as an Iraa youkai would have definitely made her refuse to be treated. But now she is very devastated and very confused. By the time she came to her senses, Ira's shrine maiden had finished treating her.
"Severe muscle strain, and overexertion, but not too much. The muscle damage has been repaired, but it is best not to engage in physical labor for a week. If you are overworked, you can only recuperate, and it is better to go home and rest now. β
When Iraa Maiden examines Yanzuru's body, she doesn't find out that she is an Ira youkai, because the Ira's body has the same structure as a human bodyβto be precise, they are originally human.
Lan Ning thanked the witch maiden, and then picked up Yan He again, wanting to send her home. But Yan He didn't say a word, and Lan Ning didn't know where she lived at all. Lan Ning didn't have much of an impression of Yan He, she didn't know that Yan He was an Ira youkai, and she didn't know that she was once a member of the leadership, so she could only take her back to her residence for the time being.
Lanning lived in a group dormitory in Byronsburg, with her former subordinates. When Lan Ning came back, no one was in the dormitory, so she could only put Yan He on her bed first and let her rest.
Although Lan Ning and Yan He had completed the whole day's work in the reclamation area during the competition, Lan Ning still went back to work in the reclamation area after settling Yan He.
First lost to the Ira Shrine Maiden in physical fitness, then was treated by the Ira Shrine Maiden, and finally was carried home by the Ira Shrine Maiden, Yan He, the Ira Youkai, can be said to have lost face. Under the huge blow, Yan He gave up thinking and just kept lying on the bed, his body motionless, looking at the wooden ceiling in a trance.
On the other side, Maier vetoed Yan He's training plan and sent someone to find Yan He, wanting to ask her what she thought. The soldiers of the 1st Regiment of Byronsburg searched in the castle for a long time but could not find Yan He, so they could only gradually expand the search area, and when they learned the whereabouts of Yan He from the onlookers in the reclamation area, Yan He had fallen asleep in Lan Ning's bed.
The soldiers approached Lan Ning and wanted to know where she had gotten Yan He. Only then did Lan Ning know that it was an Ira monster who was competing with him, and he was also the head of the First Regiment of Byronsburg.
It's big news that Ira's shrine maiden has physically defeated Ira's youkai. The news spread throughout Byronsburg at such rapid speed that even Meier, who had returned to his residence to continue his work, knew about it. Before he could confirm the authenticity of the news, Nami hurried into Maier's residence.
At this time, the soldiers of the 1st Regiment of Byronsburg had already led Lan Ning to her dormitory, and saw Yan He lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. Yan He was very strict with the soldiers, and everyone was afraid of her, so no one dared to come forward to wake her up.
ββ¦β¦ The layman means to say, I hope I can block this news? β
Nami Layman came to Maier for only one purpose, and that was to block the news of Lan Ning's victory over Yanhe in the match. For a long time, the Ira Shrine Maiden was an extremely powerful existence in the eyes of the Ira people, and if you want to defeat the Ira Monster, you must send the Ira Shrine Maiden in a structured manner, and even then the Ira Shrine Maiden still has the possibility of defeat.
The Iraa shrine maiden is the strongest combat power of the Ira people, and there is a possibility of failure if the strongest combat power is formed to attack, and ordinary Iraa people dare not challenge the Ira Youkai. But now, there is an Ira shrine maiden who has defeated the Ira youkai - although she has only defeated the Iraa youkai in terms of stamina, but after the death of the first Iraa shrine maiden, the Ira shrine maiden can no longer defeat the Ira youkai on her own. So even such a victory is enough to boost the morale of the people of Ira.
After the news spreads, the excited Ira people are likely to tell the story in various versions, and finally completely detach from the facts, and rumors such as "There was an Ira shrine maiden in Byrensburg who killed an Iraa youkai with one move". As soon as such news spreads among the Ira, the matter becomes serious.
The Ira Shrine incident has greatly damaged the prestige of Ira Shrine, and in order to save its prestige, Ira Shrines in various places have done their best, but with little success. Once the news spreads that Iraa Shrine Maiden has defeated Ira Yokai alone, then these Ira Shrines will definitely think that Ira Yokai's strength has weakened, and a considerable number of Iraa Shrines will form a crusade against Irayokai in an attempt to earn prestige by killing Irayokai.
But in fact, the strength of the Ira Yokai has not weakened, once the two sides fight, the crusading forces of the Ira Shrine are doomed to heavy losses, if the Ira Yokai is killed in the battle, the contradictions between the two sides will further escalate, and even evolve into a full-scale war.
Ira's yokai are very independent-minded, and they fight in their own way, so no one will blame you even if you don't fight. However, since the appearance of the first Iraa shrine maiden, the Ira youkai have been very unhappy with the Ira people who should have been rations, so once the war breaks out, a considerable number of Ira youkai will take the initiative to join the war, and then it will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
This is the kind of result that Nami residents don't want to see. In order to cut off the fuse of the war, Nami Layman can only come to Maier, because only Maier can do this now.
"Mistress Maier, as long as you are willing to do me this favor, I will do anything for you!"
"The layman is serious."
Maier has always regarded Nami as a friend, how could he take advantage of the danger of others to blackmail Nami Juren? After thinking for a few seconds, Maier accepted Nami Layman's request and left the abode with her.
In Lanning's collective dormitory, the soldiers stared at the sleeping Yan He, not knowing what to do. In the end, everyone unanimously focused their eyes on Lan Ning, wanting the Ira shrine maiden, who had defeated the Ira Youkai alone, to wake up Yanhe.
But Lan Ning is also worried now, defeating the Irayu monster can bring her honor, but it will also bring her danger. In case Yanhe woke up and came to his senses, he killed Lan Ning directly because he was angry, Lan Ning thought that he couldn't resist it. Although she won Yan He in terms of physical strength, it did not mean that she was stronger than Yan He in terms of combat power. Yan He knows witchcraft, Lan Ning can only fight hand-to-hand, if it is with other war witches, she can still have a little confidence, but if she is alone, she has no confidence at all.
"Hmmm......"
At this time, the sleeping Yan Crane suddenly let out a moan. In the dream, Maier suddenly rushed out naked when Yanhe was taking a bath, hugged her directly, and kissed and gnawed all the time. Yanhe wanted to break free, but found that he had no strength at all, and he couldn't break free at all. In the dream, Maier kept holding her plump breasts with his arms, which reminded Yanhe of how she felt when she was accidentally hit by Maier in the dormitory of the Leting-Saktin School of Magic, which is why she let out a moan.
How could it be ...... by such a guy How could it be given by such a guy......
The Yanhe in the dream bit his lower lip angrily, but there was a sense of excitement in his heart. It didn't take long for her to start kissing Mel back, how active her body was. Just as the two were about to be united, the voice of Nami Lay suddenly appeared, waking Yan He up from his dream.
ββ¦β¦ Your Excellency Lan Ning, I didn't expect that the person who won Yanhe was actually you. β
As the manager of the shrine maidens stationed in the twenty-nine villages of the Rimi Shrine, Lan Ning and Nami have only had a few encounters. This is because Ira's shrine maiden and Ira's yokai are hostile, and both sides usually avoid meeting each other as much as possible. Even now, apart from meeting at various meetings and occasionally at work, the two of them have no contact in private.
"This ...... In fact...... Actually, it's not a competition...... We're just working......"
Lan Ning thought that Nami was here to help Yan He find a place, but she was frightened and waved her hand again and again, indicating that she had not defeated Yan He. Lan Ning's words made Maier's eyes light up when he was standing next to Nami Jushi, and he immediately cleared his throat and said loudly to the people inside and outside the dormitory.
"That's right! His Excellency Lan Ning and Captain Yanhe are just working together! Commander Yanhe neglected his physical condition because of his busy military affairs and overworked himself during the logging process, so he fell! β
The soldiers of the 1st Regiment of Byronsburg were very clever, and they knew that Meier was helping Yanhe get his face back. Yan He is now the commander of the First Regiment of Byronsburg, and her face is the face of the First Regiment of Byronsburg. In order to save the face of the 1st Regiment of Byronsburg, the soldiers hurriedly chimed in.
"That's right, that's right! The head of the group hasn't rested in days! β
"Even so, the head of the regiment insisted on going to work in the reclamation area! I was so impressed! β
"The head of the regiment is really a strong man!"
Seeing that the soldiers of the 1st Regiment of Byronsburg were so cooperative with him, Meyer immediately gave the guards a look and told them to spread the news. Under Meier's deliberate operation, the previous news was quickly diluted by the new news, and Yanhe also changed from a loser to a hero who did his best for the development of Byronsburg, which embarrassed the members of Byronsburg's leadership, but that was all for later.
Since he had almost been united with Maier in a dream just now, Yanhe's face immediately turned tomato-colored when he heard Maier's voice, and his heart was pounding wildly. In addition, as soon as he woke up, he heard Maier lie about finding face for himself, and now Yanhe couldn't think about it without falling.
