Blood Barbarian Region, western Eagle Claw Gorge, [Black Brahma Independent Army] Dunbua Division's base, training ground

"Yo, man~"

With a clanging sound, Asra Morin, a fully armed Templar of the Cult of Dawn, strolled up to his friend, who was facing off against a wooden stake with a serious expression. He chuckled at Kevin Shadowsong, whose forehead was already beaded with sweat, and said, "What's wrong? Who does this poor stake remind you of?"

"This poor stake doesn't remind me of anything."

Shadowsong casually tucked her longsword back into her waistband and replied irritably, "But I'm imagining it as a vicious bloodthirsty barbarian, like the Black Lizard Hunter or something."

Asra glanced at the wooden stake that didn't look like a black lizard hunting post at all, and grinned, "What kind of bizarre training method is this?"

"This is a method taught to me by an otherworldly guy in the [Hidden Leaf Clan]. It's called something like the mental victory method or the Ah Q spirit. Anyway, it's about doing more mental preparation in this way so that I won't wet my pants when I actually encounter the Black Lizard Hunter."

Yingge wiped the sweat from her brow, then walked to the wooden stake. While adjusting the flag bearing the emblem of the Broken Cliff, she said without turning her head, "I'm not afraid of wetting my pants because I'm scared. After all, pants aren't worth much, and they can be washed and reused. But it would be a bit unreasonable if I couldn't even hold my weapon because I was too scared."

"Tsk, is it really that big of a deal?"

Asra clicked her tongue and looked at the figure in front of Kevin with the Headless Cliff flag stuck in its back, asking curiously, "Are those Black Lizard Hunters really that scary?"

"Not long after I came here, I saw a group led by three black lizard hunters. They had just finished causing trouble for the gray dwarves in the gray plains. Many of them still had blood on their bodies, and their killing intent was so strong that it was hard to breathe."

Yingge pressed his hand to his chest and said in a deep voice, "Our captain reacted very quickly at the time and immediately took me to hide. But I swear, although those gray lizard hunters who had just finished their killing spree may not have noticed us, those three black lizard hunters who didn't even have a drop of blood on them... definitely noticed us."

"Uh……"

Asra frowned and asked curiously, "If that's the case, why are you still standing in front of me bragging like this?"

"Because they don't care about us at all."

Yingge wiped away the cold sweat that was starting to seep out again and said in a dry voice, "The Black Lizard Hunter who was walking at the front even made eye contact with me, then looked away and left with a cold smile."

At this point, although a long time had passed since that unexpected encounter, Yingge, who still vividly remembered it and could not forget it, still shivered and hugged her shoulders.

"So why didn't they make a move?"

Seeing Yingge's appearance, Asura subconsciously became a little nervous and asked, "Was it the order from that Evil Eye King to prevent them from having unnecessary conflicts with us?"

"I don't know if the Evil Eye King ever gave such an order, but I think the reason they didn't take action might be simpler..."

Yingge took a deep breath, a flash of anger and embarrassment in her eyes, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Those guys just don't take us seriously at all. It's like when you see a nest of ants on the roadside, you have the strength to crush them with one foot, but you're too lazy to take those two extra steps to do it."

Asra swallowed hard, half-believing, half-doubting, "Is it really that powerful? I remember even the Black Lizard Hunters only have one or two Epic-rank characters, right? We're all at the peak of the high-rank, is the difference really that big?"

"Your Dawn Cult's Knight Commander Grin Tire, known as the 'Slayer of Sins,' once destroyed a powerful bandit gang of a hundred men, achieving the feat of single-handedly annihilating all the stubborn bandits who resisted."

Looking at Asura's astonished expression, Yingge said seriously, "Back then, Knight Commander Green's strength was only at the peak of the high-level. What makes you think he was able to kill those vicious and ruthless bandits who were not only strong themselves but also unscrupulous and ruthless?"

Asura, who had indeed heard about his own Knight Commander Grin's exploits, was speechless.

"Of course, I'm not saying that those Black Lizard Hunters are as strong as the Knight Commander Grin back then. I'm just saying that there are differences between high-level hunters. Even if those Black Lizard Hunters are not as strong as the Knight Commander Grin, they could probably kill us, who are also at the peak of the high level, in just a quarter of an hour. Moreover, they are not acting alone. Those Gray Lizard Hunters, who are one in a thousand in [Headless Cliff], are not just for show."

Yingge sighed, still shaken, and said, "To be honest, I've been thinking a lot lately, since Pastor Black Vane wants to lead us in something, if we encounter the Black Lizard Hunters again, can I... really muster the courage to face them?"

Asura patted Yingge on the shoulder and nodded, saying, "You can do it. Don't forget how you risked your life to save your seriously injured teammate, buddy."

"I hope I can."

Yingge chuckled dryly, clenching his fist: "Even if it's an enemy I can't defeat on my own, as long as I can leave a wound on him, or make him expend more energy to kill me, then one less of my comrades might die. In this way, someone will eventually be able to kill those damn bastards."

Asra shrugged and chuckled, "So that's why you're doing this Ah Q-style training here? Just so you can leave more scars on those black lizard hunters later?"

"Don't forget, I still owe you a favor."

Yingge snorted and said indifferently, "I don't want to be killed without doing anything, and then be laughed at by you after returning to my lord's embrace."

“You are a follower of the goddess of abundance, and I am a follower of the goddess of dawn. We may not be able to meet again after we die.”

Asra chuckled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "But that's a good idea. If I happen to survive your heroic sacrifice, I can visit your grave every now and then to offer some flowers or something."

Yingge shook her head and casually said, "I don't need the flowers, but remember to bring me a few copies of the 'Cute Nun' monthly magazine from the Wealth Cult."

"Wow, that thing isn't cheap."

Asra gasped and said seriously, "How about this, you make a will now, stating that all your pension after you die will go to me. That way, I'll bring you a copy of 'The Lovely Nun' every two weeks, and you can borrow it for half an hour each time."

"What the hell..."

Yingge glared at him and roared, "You use my pension to buy magazines, and then only let me read them for half an hour each time, is that it?!"

Are you angry?

Asra chuckled and said with a smile, "If you're so angry, don't die. If I die in battle before you, you can still piss me off."

"Oh, so you're leaving your compensation money to me too?"

"No, I'll leave it for my parents."

"are you human?"

"Why not? If you're so capable, why don't you outlive me?"

"Can't we both live? Does one of us have to die?"

"Shouldn't you think carefully about who brought this up first?"

Asra rolled his eyes, then gave a mischievous grin: "Speaking of which, compared to a plain-looking, unpopular roughneck like me, there are definitely more people who can't bear to see a handsome guy like you die."

Yingge rolled her eyes even more: "Crazy..."

"Kevin!"

Just then, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, the harpy, who had been rescued by Shadowsong and Asura during the 'clothing change incident' and had finally managed to stop the vice-captain Rugal, who seemed to have an exhibitionist streak, and who had been unusually enthusiastic towards Shadowsong ever since, descended from the sky and landed cheerfully in front of the rather handsome half-elf: "Good evening, what are you doing?"

"I'm doing self-training."

Yingge nodded to the harpy in front of her and said politely, "Good evening, Miss Xili. How are things at the front?"

Since the players in the frontline legion did not have any flying races, the harpy girl, Shiri Kuzhi, who had been acting as a battlefield observer, nodded vigorously: "It's alright, it's alright. Although we took the initiative to attack a few times today, the enemy's counterattacks were relatively conservative, and the losses on both sides were within a controllable range, but the results were also relatively reduced."

Yingge nodded slightly and pondered, "This is normal. After all, [Headless Cliff], [Bloodfeather Plateau] and [Steelmane Tribal Kingdom] have all sent reinforcements. In addition, the enemies originally stationed in Eagle Claw Gorge are all elites. It is indeed difficult for us to achieve any results with such small-wave attacks."

"Hehe, I don't know anything about these things." Hilly gave a bright and cheerful smile, then hopped around on her tiptoes a couple of times and said happily, "Kevin, Kevin, how was my presentation just now? Wasn't it professional? Wasn't it cool?"

Yingge paused for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "Yes, even from the perspective of a regular soldier like me, your report just now was very professional and impressive. Very good."

"That's good~"

Hilly immediately perked up, flapping her wings and saying, "I wasn't as attentive when I reported to the scout captain as I was when I was talking to you!"

"what?"

Yingge was taken aback again, then smiled wryly and said, "No, no, no, you have to be more serious when you report to the scout captain than when you tell me these things."

"Hee hee~"

Xili didn't reply, but just gave a cute, silly smile and happily watched Yingge.

The latter felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the other party's bright eyes, so he cast a look at Asura, who was watching the commotion, as if to say, "Hurry up and do something, I still have to continue training."

Asura, on the other hand, kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth on his heart, oblivious to everything else, and focused solely on cosplaying as the wooden stake.

But soon, Yingge's 'savior' arrived—

"Hehehe, are you two from the vanguard of the Fifth Battalion?"

A human thief, cloaked in black and looking rather young, hurried into the training grounds, heading straight for Shadowsong and Asura, and asked hastily, "Kevin Shadowsong and Asura Morin?"

Yingge and Asura exchanged a glance, then stood up straight and answered in unison, "Yes—"

"Great! I looked all over the back and couldn't find you. I was so worried!"

The young thief Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, then said quickly, "Emergency order: you must immediately go to the training ground and assemble with the main force of the Second Mixed Battle Group. After completing the uniform change, wait for your squad leader to give instructions. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be an operation later."

"Yes!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Yingge and Asura immediately bowed to the thief from the [Ye Yin Clan] in front of them.

"Ah, thank you, oh no, no need, uh, anyway, you guys go quickly! Because it's a secret order that was issued temporarily, we can't let Brother Shaman sound the rallying call here, I still need to find a few other people who aren't in the tent like you."

Some of the more flustered thieves scratched their cheeks, then activated [Sprint] and dashed away.

"Let's go too."

Asra nodded to Shadow Song and said in a deep voice, "Making a secret gathering so late, it's probably going to be something big."

"Yes, it seems so."

Yingge nodded, then prepared to leave, but suddenly felt a weight on her arm. She realized that Xili, who had been standing silently beside her, had reached out and grabbed her. She let out a confused "Uh?"

"Kevin."

The harpy girl nervously scratched the ground with her claws, then hesitated and asked, "You...you're going to fight again?"

"Well, that's right."

Yingge sighed silently, then gently grasped Xili's wrist, pulling her slightly cold hand away from his arm. He smiled and said, "Well then, I'll go carry out the mission now. If you, Miss Xili, will also be participating in the operation, please be sure to take care of yourself."

Hillary pursed her lips: "Kevin..."

Unfortunately, Yingge didn't wait for her. After saying those words, he and Asura quickly left the training ground, leaving the somewhat disappointed girl standing alone, muttering something no one could hear.

……

"What's wrong with you, kid?"

On the way to the training ground, Asura glanced at Yingge with some dissatisfaction and complained, "Since [Ye Yin] is still looking for people, it means we still have plenty of time to prepare. What's wrong with staying a little longer to talk to that girl?"

"Want to say a few words?"

Yingge continued on her way without looking back, and asked in return, "What do you think I should say?"

"How am I supposed to know what to say? But the girl came all the way to you, don't tell me you can't figure out what she means."

"I can tell."

"You can tell I'm still like this?"

"What's wrong? Isn't it possible?"

"Do you have someone you like back in your hometown?"

"No."

"You have no feelings for Miss Hilly?"

"do not know."

Don't you want to know?

"Do not want to."
