Chapter 159: Holy War (1)
"Who are you?" Shirinya asked the unknown man, every step forward of the doll in front of her was a great deal of pressure.
In the face of Shilinya's question, the other party remained silent, and her short legs continued to move slowly with a swaying pace.
Although the approaching puppet did not show any malice, Shilinya was still ready to gather strength and wait for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the other party. The magic power in her body slowly overflowed, and Shilinya wanted to convert the magic into an offensive spell, but this was the magic conversion process she found completely impossible!
For a moment, the entire space seemed to be insulated from magic.
The sudden change caused Shilinya to retreat, but soon, her backward body slammed into a transparent wall, as if the cotton-like wall bounced Shilinya's body back to its original position.
"Can I understand your past?" the doll was close to Shilinya at some point, the doll was waist-high, but the pressure on Shilinya was like Tarzan overpowering.
"What past?"
"One of my brothers was killed by your knowledge of the past - probably asleep. The doll's voice came from her body, not from her small decorative mouth.
"I don't understand what you're talking about?" The puppet's words made Shilinya feel panicked, her relatives were killed, could it be that she came to seek revenge on herself? But she has nothing to do with the other party at all, and she doesn't have any knowledge of her past at all!
"Someone wants to swallow ......" A pair of big red eyes embedded in the puppet's face turned slightly, and it seemed that the other party had a series of conjectures.
"I can help you get what belongs to you!" she seduced as a pair of large, rolling red eyes fixed her gaze on Shirinya's face.
β...... What do you mean, don't play dumb riddles with me, in words that everyone can understand, okay?"
"Someone's coming......" the doll didn't answer Shilinya's words, "I'm going to hide it." β
As soon as the words fell, the doll crashed straight into Shirinya's body. The expected impact contact did not come as promised, and Shilinya looked at the strange person in front of her, and the idol melted into her body like water, and she completely disappeared from Shilinya's sight in such a strange way.
The moment the puppet disappeared, cracks appeared in the whole world, and black cracks spread throughout the space, and finally like the shattering of a mirror, the whole world was scattered into pieces, completely exposing the dark environment hidden behind it to Shirinya's eyes.
Shirinya was stunned by the scene in front of her, and now the ground under her feet had been replaced by endless darkness, her voice was completely blocked, and her body was gradually blurring, and finally merged with the entire dark world.

It didn't take long for the darkness in her eyes to fade away, and what appeared in Shilinya's eyes was her new room.
The furnishings of the room were still the same, but the shouting and shouting from the window made Shilinya feel the seriousness of the tense. The expected fatigue did not show up, and she easily sat up from her bed.
The encounter with the strange doll left her inexplicable, and she was still recalling every word the other person had said, trying to learn anything useful from it.
"You've been sleeping all day. But a man's voice immediately interrupted Shirinya's thoughts.
"Why are you in my room?" the voice was directed by Shilinya's teacher, Ulrik.
"Your mother fears for your well-being, but now she has no time to care for you in the face of the undead, so she entrusts me with your safety. Ulrik was now sitting on a chair with his back to Shilinya, and next to the chair was the other man's staff that looked like a twig.
"Rest assured, it's still the mage named Delphi who takes care of your daily life. As if taking into account the doubts and thoughts of the people behind him, he explained to the other party while sharpening the sword in his hand with a whetstone.
Shilinya looked around and saw that there was no Delfil in the room, and she wanted to ask where Delfil was, but the continuous gunshots that gradually reached her ears made her keep her doubts in her mind.
"That female mage went out to help you find food......"
"Wait!" Before Ulrik could finish his words, Shilinya immediately interrupted, "What happened on this day?"
The continuous sound of gunfire is a sign of the beginning of the war.
"There's a lot going on, but it's one thing in a nutshell β the undead have attacked. The roar of war was everywhere, but Ulrique's voice was calm.
"Aren't you nervous?"
"It's not my war, I don't need to be nervous. As he spoke, Ulrik used the whetstone in his hand to pull a whisk on top of his sword, "If I win, I can stay here, and if I lose, I have a way to escape." β
"After so many years on the run, I think I can run faster than anyone else. He set his gaze on the blade of the sword, examining the fruits of his labor.
"However, you don't have to worry, your reinforcements are coming in a steady stream on the way, and they won't sit idly by, besides, ......"
"Get out!" an order stopped Ulrique's explanation, not knowing what new tricks the student behind him was trying to do.
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to change my clothes!" she now wears her pajamas, hoping to get to the front line and provide a little help to her mother.
ββββββββββββββ change clothesββββββββββββ
When Shilinya changed into a set of combat chain mail and walked out of the room, she saw Ulrike and Dalefill, who were fully armed, waiting outside the door, and Dalefil still had something in his hand.
"Miss, why don't you eat something first?" Delphi immediately suggested.
"Eat as you go. He picked up a piece of bread from Dalefield's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and Shirinya, who didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two, walked towards the front by herself.
Only the stunned two were left looking at each other behind them, but after a while, the two kept up with the pace of this wayward eldest lady, after all, it was their duty to protect each other's safety.
"Details...... Tell me what happened in the past two days...... Affair. As he munched on his bread, he asked a question to the two men who followed him.
Along the way, Shilinya had seen the situation outside through the window. A large number of warriors ran around the city, some taking up arms and running to the walls, others returning the wounded from the front lines to the rear, their eyes continuing to see the brightly colored magic light that did not flash above the walls, while their ears were constantly receiving the sound of gunpowder explosions and the dull crash of large objects against the walls.
"The undead army from that wedding was cleared in time, and the portal was destroyed, but the nobles who fought were suffering heavy casualties. Ulrike recounted the situation with a hint of joy, and seemed to be pleased with the deaths of the nobles.
"And what happened to the armies of the dead nobles?" Without the leadership of the lords, Shilinya really wondered if these nobles' private soldiers would obey the orders and participate in the current war.
"Would-be 'deserters' have confessed to the gods at the stake, tsk......" Ulrik's answer was overtly mocking.
More and more troops appeared on the road, but more often than not, wounded soldiers who had been withdrawn from the battlefield for treatment, and soldiers who had been temporarily replaced, and now the castle had become a temporary field hospital. Although this field hospital is very far from the battlefield, it is immune to the necromancers.
No one wants these reservists, who can continue to fight, to turn their weapons at the fighters on the front line.
Some of the soldiers who were resting recognized Shilinya and the three immediately stood up to salute, while Shilinya, who was walking in front, just nodded to them encouragingly as a return salute. In the current critical situation, any cumbersome etiquette is superfluous.
"Go on. β
That night, the vanguard of the undead reached the outskirts of Anjitan, and the undead army of 40,000 was instantly crushed by the angry crusaders. Ulrique immediately explained.
"The next day, this morning, the undead troops all arrived and began the siege. With Ulrik's explanation, a dull crash sounded in the ears of the two of them, "They brought a large number of undead beasts, and the walls were in danger. β
