Chapter 68: Waynes' Request
(5000 words big chapter, lazy!) οΌ
Thousands of armies are silent, in the palm of the hand.
Is this really a height that can be reached by man?
Vines couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at the thrilling scene under the city.
The power of the stars and the moon once again refreshed his perception of the transcendent.
At this level, even the Great Knight Chiefs of Yanlong and Canglan, or several archbishops of the Holy See, may not be able to do it, right?
Is this guy really human?
In a trance, he even forgot about the battle, and it was not until a strong orc rushed in front of him that he hastily raised the shield in his hand.
The war continues.
However, because Lin Xiao was involved in most of the troops under the city, the strong orcs who had lost their support on the city wall were no longer to be feared.
Jin Jue's twelve military guards formed a formation and stopped in front of the city gate.
The combat experience passed down from generation to generation makes them more comfortable in the face of such a complex battlefield environment.
The twelve people worked together as if they were connected by heart, and coupled with SR's high-quality talent, this small place was guarded like an iron bucket, and the missing orcs could not break through at all.
Lin Xiao's figure shuttled among the ten thousand armies.
It's so fast that it's impossible to see what he's like as a human.
A series of black shadows swept straight through, and everywhere they went, there was a bloody rain.
With the addition of passive [Shura Dao] bonuses, more than 150 points of strength and agility attributes make him feel like he is in a no-man's land in this group of small monsters that are generally level 30.
The twin blades of the stars and moon in his hand are like the scythe of death, where they wave, they take away the souls that are powerless to wail in pieces.
Even if it is an elite, it is not vulnerable at all.
Meat grinders will not be so efficient.
Each strong orc brings more than 500 points of experience, which gives Lin Xiao endless motivation.
He calculated that if he completely digested this wave of strong orcs, he might even be able to rise to level 30 here!
It's so beautiful to think about.
Lin Xiao's hand waved faster.
I don't know when the soldiers who had finished clearing the remnants of the enemy on the city wall also stopped what they were doing.
One by one, they stood by the wall, watching this killing feast in disbelief.
Where is this defending the city? And how can it be fighting the enemy?
This is simply a massacre.
A massacre without suspense.
It's just that it was a person, slaughtering countless strong orcs......
Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world?
Thousands of strong orcs fell under the blades of the stars and moons.
From the scorching sun to the sunset, the battle has been going on for several hours, and the battlefield has been pushed forward from under the city walls to a vacuum area of hundreds of meters.
The brave orcs had to stop, and they hesitated in place, staring at the figure on the hill in front of them.
The high-intensity battle made Lin Xiao's shirt turn into ashes at some point.
He was half naked, with his hands on his back, standing on top of the corpse.
All over his body, stained with the blood of their own kind, monstrous blood flames overflowed from his body.
Like the demon king who dominates life and death under the abyss, his eyes full of murderous intent look down on the army of strong orcs a few meters away.
The stumps and bones had been piled up into a hill several meters high.
The twelve martial guards dutifully guarded behind Lin Xiao, they didn't say a word, the dark gold armor was almost dyed blood, and the faint black air swirled, like demon soldiers.
The extreme bloodiness of [Asura] has been released with unprecedented satisfaction in such a battle.
Lin Xiao couldn't be satisfied at all.
"Aren't you coming?"
He asked with a sinister smile, his scarlet eyes flashing with unprecedented excitement, and killing intent was everywhere.
The strong orcs in the front row involuntarily took two steps back and crashed into their companions behind them.
"Then I'll have to go!"
As soon as Lin Xiao's words fell, a unique rhythm sounded from the rear of the strong orc army.
In an instant, all the orcs turned their heads and ran backwards as hard as they could, as if they had been liberated.
Well?
Lin Xiao was stunned.
This is not good, there are at least 20,000 strong orcs and more than a million experiences.
Are you kidding.
As soon as he moved, his figure disappeared in place.
In the next moment, a bewitching blood flower bloomed in the pile of strong orcs closest to him.
With a wave of his arms, the sword qi swept through, and several strong orcs were immediately cut off.
Lin Xiao's ferocity was rising, and when he was about to rush up again, an abrupt aura appeared behind him.
He didn't even think about it, and handed the star blade with his backhand.
"Dingβ"
A crunch of metal clashing.
The silver-white sword body with a ray of light blocked the edge of the star blade.
Luan held the sword in one hand, and [Bai Hong] was slightly pushed out by his thumb, just enough to stop Lin Xiao's hasty attack.
"You calm down, strategy first."
Luan frowned slightly, staring at the blood-glittered eyes, and his heart was a little agitated.
Lin Xiao took the star blade back.
Aren't you strategizing?
But of course he wouldn't say such self-deprecating nonsense.
The scarlet in his eyes receded, and Lin Xiao looked at the strong orcs who had run hundreds of meters away with regret-
We'll see you later.
Then, he waved his hand at Luan.
"Let's go."
The two walked all the way to the bottom of the city walls.
Just as Vines was about to ask his men to open the city gate, Luan's figure floated up, and the whole person landed lightly on the top of the city.
Is there still a light work setting in "Annogus"?
Lin Xiao shook his head, took a vertical leap, and the star blade in his hand was inserted into the solid stone of the city wall, and then his body rotated around, and while drawing out the short blade, he used his strength to take off again, and stopped steadily on the stone stomp of the city wall.
This operation made the young men of the lion group look stupid again.
Can the more than 30-meter-high city wall be played like this?
Waynes greeted him.
With a solemn face, his right hand on his chest, and kneeling on one knee, he lowered his head slightly, and said earnestly:
"Allow me, on behalf of Sedra and the 600,000 subjects of Somar, to pay the highest tribute to the help of the Venerable Commander!"
The surviving soldiers of the Lion Regiment also stood solemnly at the same time.
They raised their shields and swords, striking out a particular frequency, as if as a way for Cedra to show gratitude.
Although Cedra ruled the country with a civil rule, the status of the Holy See was almost on a par with that of the king, but this did not prevent them from advocating the strong.
Especially so strong that Lin Xiao is like this, almost a demon god.
Lin Xiao pulled Captain Willes up and said indifferently:
"Just take what you need, don't mind."
Although there are certain factors, after all, he is not completely for the sake of these people from other worlds.
"I'm going to join my companions first, so I won't bother much."
Lin Xiao nodded towards Waynes, and then walked down the city wall with Luan.
"Please."
Vines whispered behind him, watching the backs of the two departing, his eyes flashing with a complicated look.
The war had just ended, and he still had a lot of things to deal with and could not get out of it hastily.
β¦β¦
Lin Xiao and Luan passed through most of Somar all the way, and everywhere they went, everyone stopped and stood still, looking at him in awe.
Although they did not witness the grand scene of the battlefield just now, it is not difficult to guess what kind of tragic battle Lin Xiao's bloody image has experienced.
Go to the location marked on the map in your memory.
Lin Xiao pushed the door and walked in.
Lu Shaoshao was the first to greet her, and his appearance covered in blood frightened this girl.
"Are you hurt?"
She hurriedly asked.
Before Lin Xiao could answer, his little hand flashed green and stuck to his chest.
After some inspection, it was confirmed that Lin Xiao was unscathed and even full of vitality, and Lu Shaoshao finally put her mind at ease.
"I'll go get you a basin of water."
As she spoke, she rushed out.
Lin Xiao looked at everyone, and everyone was a little uncertain about his state-
Defend the city for the aborigines? It's not necessary!
"How's the portal?" Lin Xiao asked.
"As usual, nothing has changed."
Situ Ming responded.
Then he led Lin Xiao to a small room, pushed the door open, and the blue portal emitted blue light, and it was there quietly.
"Is there no one here?"
Lin Xiao nodded and asked again.
"In the next room, they've been sleeping for three days, but they can't see it until the portal is secure."
Situ Ming replied casually.
"We're out of the city tonight, you stay in the city, and continue the investigation." Lin Xiao commanded.
Situ Ming looked at Luan, and saw that the other party didn't say anything at all, so he nodded more and more politely.
This boss of [Agency Zero] seems to be a completely transparent person after entering the dungeon, and he doesn't want to worry about anything if he doesn't ask.
The rumored [Mechanism Zero] shouldn't be like this.
Peony walked in with a basin of hot water and found a towel by the way.
She wet the towel and stepped forward to consciously help Lin Xiao wipe her body, Lin Xiao took the towel in her hand and said softly:
"I'll just do it myself."
Peony nodded, smiled and didn't say anything.
It was late in the evening, and the days were long in the middle of summer, and it was estimated that it would look like about six or seven o'clock.
The crowd was getting ready to eat and then split up.
There was a few knocks on the wooden door.
The Awoken were immediately alarmed.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, he knew who the person outside the door was, but, logically speaking, he shouldn't have appeared here so soon.
He stepped forward and pulled the door open, and Vines bowed with one hand to his chest as respectfully as before.
"Honor, our lion group has prepared a simple light meal, and we would like to invite you and your companions to enjoy it as a token of gratitude!"
"Thanks?"
Lin Xiao didn't answer, and in the crowd behind him, Pei Tianyi muttered softly in confusion.
They didn't know how big of a thing Lin Xiao was doing in the afternoon.
Thinking about it, even if he helped kill some strong orcs, he couldn't make it impossible for the head of the human group to come to the door in person, so sincerely invited.
Vines smiled.
"If it weren't for this ...... Lord Transcendent, he killed thousands of strong orcs with the power of one person, I am afraid that Somar has fallen at this moment, just some ordinary light meals, talk about your heart, please don't refuse. β
Everyone's eyes suddenly became astonished.
Thousands of strong orcs?
Even if it's just an ordinary mob in a B-rank dungeon, this level of number is terrifying enough!
Thousands of people chopped?
What's more, judging from Lin Xiao's current state of being alive and well, even if it is ten thousand people, it will not be a problem!
If there was still the only trace of doubt about Lin Xiao's strength before, it has also disappeared at this moment.
Their group of B-class awakened people will never be able to do this by themselves-
In general, dungeons, mobs do not have such a number combined.
Moreover, it is a human being, and there is always a time when the strength is exhausted!
If it's not A-grade, then how can it be?
The little bit of caution in their hearts is even more certain, this level of awakened person must be fought for.
But for now, at least perform well and make a good impression.
Everyone was silent for a while, only Lu Shaoshao was still staring at Lin Xiao happily, her eyes were unblinking, and her eyes were full of brilliance.
Lin Xiao groaned for a moment and nodded.
"It's hard to be gracious, let's go, guys."
He agreed to Wiens's invitation on his own initiative, but Situ Ming was a little anxious, he pulled Lin Xiao's arm, but was stopped by a look of return.
So, Situ Ming didn't say much.
Lin Xiao naturally has his own considerations.
As soon as they left, Vines had men follow.
Moreover, it is an eventful time now, the war has not stopped, and the army of strong orcs is still outside the city, and a second attack may be launched at any time.
In such a time of crisis, this seemingly dutiful regimental commander was not busy with the matter of arranging defenses, but came to invite them to a banquet, which was a little too courteous.
Lin Xiao was curious, did she really just want to enlist them to help defend the city?
Not far from the city walls, the City Defense Department was temporarily converted into a military camp for the Lions.
In addition to being empty, there are not too many characteristics here, and it is so simple that it is even a little rudimentary.
Along the way, the soldiers who saw them all bent down to salute and silently pay their respects.
Everyone also knew that this reverence was directed at Lin Xiao.
The simple meal in the mouth of Vines is indeed not rich, and it may be regarded as a big meal for this important border town with scarce materials.
They sat cross-legged in front of a campfire, in a circle, and shared the roast meat of a protist.
Willes frequently accosted Lin Xiao, although the other party didn't mean to say anything, but it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the head of the regiment.
Finally, Lin Xiao still frowned.
"Captain Wiens, we're leaving soon, if you have anything else, it's best to have something to say so as not to delay more opportunities."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Vines' face, but he wasn't disappointed by the news of their imminent departure.
His already wrinkled face twitched, and he hesitated for a moment before he spoke:
"Lord Transcendental, I do have a personal reluctant request."
He paused, looked at Lin Xiao's expression and didn't change much, and then continued.
"Dare to ask, among your subordinates, are there transcendents with healing powers?"
Vines said cautiously.
Judging from everyone's attitude towards Lin Xiao, he subconsciously regarded this group of people as Lin Xiao's followers.
Treat?
Lin Xiao was a little surprised.
He pulled Lu Shaoshao, who was trying to try fruit wine beside him, but his face was crimson when he was choked, and he was unwilling to die-
"She is."
Lu Shaoshao had no idea what was going on.
"What's wrong?"
She asked, confused.
The wrinkles on Wianes's face widened for a moment, as if he had been pleasantly surprised.
He even took Lu Shaoshao's hand very disrespectfully, and was about to kneel.
It is really unexpected that this battle-hardened middle-aged man would have such an unconventional reaction.
Lin Xiao held him up.
"Healer, healer! Please! Save my poor little Vera! β
Everyone looked at this side in amazement.
Lu Shaoshao was also a little at a loss for a while.
β¦β¦
Vera, the daughter of Venes.
After calming down, he took Lin Xiao and Lu Shaoshao to the depths of the backyard, in a separate room.
The door opened, and a small, thin, pale body lay motionless on the bed.
Her skin is so white that she really deceives Frost and Snow, but this is not a good word, and she can't see the slightest blood in her pathology.
Lu Shaoshao frowned the moment she saw this little girl.
She looked at Waynes, and the head of the regiment nodded at her expectantly.
Lu Shaoshao stepped forward, the green light lit up in her hand, and she cautiously sensed it on Vera's forehead.
Her brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
After a while, with doubts, he slowly withdrew his hand.
Peony turned, sighed, and bowed slightly towards Waynes.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it."
"She wasn't sick or hurt at all, but the withering of her vitality, a curse inside her, devouring everything she had left."
"I've never seen anything like this, and I'm just going to be able to fix her broken physiology, but I'm afraid it won't be long...... It will still become the way it is now, and the vitality of the overdraft cannot be filled. β
Lu Shaoshao's voice became smaller and quieter, with a little helplessness.
The little girl's life as brittle as paper at the moment has aroused her love to some extent.
But the curse in her body is not something that can be dispelled by healing at all.
Peony blessed her with several blessings, although it could not continue Vera's life, at least it could barely relieve the pain.
For a moment, Wiens seemed to be dozens of years old, and his body trembled and crumbled.
"How could it be...... Are even transcendents like you helpless? β
The pain that flashed in his eyes was mixed with a hint of struggle.
"What else can I do!"
He was talking to himself blankly, as if his soul had been drained.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
The head of the regiment, who lost his soul, came back to his senses after a long time.
His face was pale, and he looked at Lin Xiao and Lu Shaoshao apologetically, and a smile squeezed out of his face.
"I'm sorry to embarrass you, it's true that I'm expecting too much."
Lin Xiao shook his head:
"Understandable, don't care. Since we can't help, we won't bother much, you can take good care of Vera! β
As he spoke, he held out a hand in front of him.
"We'll see you next time."
Waynes had no choice but to walk up in a daze and reach out to shake Lin Xiao.
"I beg your pardon, I won't send more...... Yes! β
He jerked his hand out, and there was a tingling in his palm, as if he had been stung by something.
Lin Xiao did not change in the slightest.
"Farewell!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left with Lu Shaoshao.
Outside the gate of the City Defense Department, in the darkness, everyone knew that it was almost time to split up.
"Are you sure it's a curse?"
Lin Xiao asked.
Lu Shaoshao shook her head.
"I don't know what it is, but it's in the form of energy, evil and bloody."
Lin Xiao nodded, turned to Situ Ming and said:
"Keep an eye on him."
