Warhammer Fantasy: I Have Total War System

The moment the gunshot rang out, Li Lin immediately dropped to the ground.

After waiting for a while, they realized—it wasn't coming for him!

The white marble square in front of the Bronze Sparrow Tower remained empty, the shadows of the ginkgo trees twisted in the heat, and there were no bullet holes on the tree trunks.

"Young Master, run!"

Song Yu's urgent, hoarse voice exploded within the sound transmission runes, mixed with the shriek of a lead bullet striking metal.

"The area outside the tent is swarming with musketeers! Everyone except me and Captain Xing is dead!"

died?

Just a moment ago, he was standing perfectly fine beside him, and he planned to go back and train him to become a veteran of the Raging Thunder.

The Cinnabar warriors who survived two cannibal attacks, achieved great feats, and protected the lives of tens of thousands at the Stone Fortress, died just like that?

To die at the hands of one's own people?

Li Lin's mind began to buzz, and so did his heart.

He immediately and accurately located Song Yu's position, and directed Lai Fu, who had been waiting at the camp entrance, to rush to rescue him, while Lai Cai moved closer to him.

The system switched its view and he saw Xing Ganqi lying face up in the rubble, his chest covered in deep red, his life hanging in the balance.

Song Yu knelt before him, holding up the jade shield given to him by Yun Mosige, struggling to withstand the barrage of lead bullets.

In the Inner Strength Realm, one's inner strength cannot be solidified outside the body for long, and one can only rely on external objects to block projectiles and arrows.

Not far from the two men, inside the collapsed tent, Li Lin could still vaguely see some severed limbs and human eyeballs that had been shattered by armor-piercing bullets.

The three ordinary Jade Warrior's Iron Vanguard Shields lay shattered on the ground, stained with fresh blood that gleamed in the sunlight.

Li Lin clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms.

"Please come with me, Steward."

As he fell silent, the Wind and Cloud Guards watching nearby drew their white jade swords and strode toward him.

This person exuded a faint aura of qi, clearly indicating that he was a late-stage Inner Qi cultivator, and had already faintly touched the threshold of the Outer Qi realm.

She approached Li Lin within fifteen steps, suddenly drew her sword with overwhelming force, and used the cunning Jade Maiden Sword Technique to aim directly at Li Lin's throat.

Li Lin felt he should hide for a while.

He ran back and forth for a while until Lai Cai came over and killed him with a single palm strike.

After all, the other party clearly had real skills, while he was a complete novice.

But at this moment, he just couldn't swallow his anger.

"drink!"

He spread his legs wide, placed his fists up and down on his chest, and his muscles instinctively formed a starting stance that he himself didn't know what the purpose was.

Celestial Rank Technique [Jianglu Chaoping - Level Style]

The opponent's white jade sword was deflected by an invisible "force" and slid to one side.

The Wind and Cloud Guards were astonished, because externalizing one's Qi to defend against attacks was something only experts at the Outer Qi Realm could do.

But Li Lin clearly did not have the Outer Qi Realm; he didn't even use any Qi.

She quickly withdrew her attack, but Li Lin was faster.

Celestial Rank Technique [Jianglu Chaoping - Falling Style]

All the power of the enemy's swordsmanship was transferred to his next move.

Heavenly Rank Technique: Crushing Fist

A honed and lightning-fast straight punch landed even faster on Fengyunwei's face.

Her skull shattered, her entire face caved in, and her eyeballs flew out and hit the ginkgo tree, smashing into two piles of flesh. She died on the spot!

Li Lin coldly withdrew his hand.

"What the hell?"

"Aren't I pretty strong?"

Is this person a master?

It should be.

But they certainly weren't high-ranking officials or dignitaries with illustrious backgrounds.

It's just a Yellow-rank sword technique; it's nothing compared to a Heaven-rank technique.

What killed this person was not Li Lin's martial arts technique, but his social class.

The emerald green stone lion leaped from the back courtyard into the square at just the right moment, its massive body bouncing and jumping around Li Lin.

Li Lin held his breath and focused his mind. At almost the same time, Lai Fu rushed into the ruins of the side tent and came to Song Yu's side.

The Fengyun Guards, who were standing next to the musketeer unit, were utterly astonished when they saw the moving stone lion.

"What is that—"

Although they didn't know what kind of rare and exotic beast it was, the six Fengyun Guards, who were already prepared, immediately drew their bows and nocked their arrows.

They used a special longbow made of a material somewhere between steel and jade.

The longbow is entirely white, and once the arrow is nocked, it is enveloped in a layer of silvery-blue moonlight.

Clearly, the person who set up this deadly trap had anticipated that reinforcements would arrive.

The bowstring snapped.

Six streaks of silver light pierced through the smoke and dust.

And countless bullets were turned around.

"Gurgle"

The jade beads in Laifu's throat kept rolling and colliding.

It turned its head and glanced at it.

Instantly, the bullets and arrows turned around, striking their masters with even greater speed than before.

The sounds of flesh and bones exploding and people slamming to the ground were incessant.

The six Wind and Cloud Guards were hit by their own arrows.

The moonlight from the arrows seeped into their meridians through the wounds like a living thing. They quickly circulated their internal energy and swallowed life-saving pills, but all to no avail.

Li Lin noticed that it seemed as if countless tiny silver snakes were swimming beneath their skin.

Each time the acupoint is passed, the muscles there atrophy, as if all the moisture has been drained away.

These people's cultivation levels began to plummet, from Inner Strength to Tong Jin, and then from Tong Jin all the way down to Ming Jin, until they became completely useless and could no longer cultivate. Only then did the moonlight in their bodies seem to disappear.

"These people in the harem these past few months, their methods are so vicious!"

Song Yu peeked half his face out from behind the shield and saw the mountain-like Lai Fu. He quickly hoisted the executioner's axe and moved toward them.

Lai Fu noticed them and quickly approached. Once they reached the Dragon Palace's area, Li Lin immediately teleported the two of them, along with the shattered shield relic on the ground, into the Dragon Palace.

"Kill me—" A Fengyun Guard, curled up on the ground, trembled as he reached out to Laifu, "Please kill me—"

Just as Lai Fu was about to make a move, Li Lin stopped him with a single thought.

"Let them taste their own tricks."

Then he contacted Yi Ge: "The other side made the first move. Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

"No need," Yi Ge finally replied.

"The riots are just right. Go check those tall buildings; I didn't find what you're looking for here."

"Um."

Li Lin nodded and followed Lai Cai quickly toward the entrance of the Bronze Sparrow Tower.

Just then, they saw the woman who had been hissed by the white tiger at the door earlier fighting with a member of the Wind and Cloud Guard.

The woman's cultivation level and techniques were not much different from those of the Wind and Cloud Guard, but their combat experience was worlds apart. In addition, she was able to kill her opponent in just a few moves after a successful sneak attack.

But then, the white Hakimi sneakily circled behind the woman, opening its blood-red maw to launch a sneak attack.

Li Lin sneered inwardly.

I feel like I'm going to become a lover of old age today.

"It's quite lively here," he said calmly, breaking the chaos.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lai Cai transformed into a gust of emerald green wind and swept towards the white Hakimi.

With a loud "Bang!", Hakimi was sent flying against the outer wall of the Bronze Sparrow Tower. Then, like chewing gum that had lost its chewiness, he fell down stickily, bounced twice on the ground, smashed a row of stone lanterns, and splashed up a cloud of gravel and dust.

That's it?

Li Lin glanced at Lai Cai's attribute panel; not a single drop of health had been lost.

So he's just an ordinary Hakimi?

Lai Cai jumped up and down at Li Lin as if to take credit. Li Lin gave him a thumbs up and then pointed to the two female soldiers guarding the gate next to Bai Muyan.

Lai Cai slapped both of them once, sending them flying. They lay on the ground, their limbs twisted, their fates unknown.

The white tiger, which had landed in the distance, struggled to prop itself up on its forelegs, letting out a roar of shock and anger.

But before it could even stand up straight, a huge, jet-black claw silently reached out from the side, precisely pressing down on its neck and slamming its head into the ground, its skull cracking loudly.

It was Moshilaifu that had just arrived.

"A soldier and a tiger, beating up an unarmed woman."

Li Lin stepped onto the stone steps and called out loudly towards the Bronze Sparrow Tower.

"Young Master Wei's camp is indeed extraordinary."

He reached out to the strange woman on the ground. The woman was stunned for a while before she, like the injured little Hakimi, carefully reached out and helped him up.

"You're not one of Wei Qiankun's people, are you?" Li Lin asked, pulling the woman up.

The woman stared at him intently for a long while before finally realizing what he meant.

It probably recognized itself.

Seeing her nod, Li Lin asked again, "Were you forcibly transferred here by him?"

The woman nodded her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

She seemed to have lost the ability to speak, and could only nod.

Li Lin originally wanted to ask her about the situation in the building, but seeing her state, he had no choice but to give up.

"Let's go." Li Lin made a grasping motion in the air and took out a bottle of healing pills from the Dragon Palace for her.

"Go back to your own people, along with those outsiders."

He then strode into the Bronze Sparrow Tower and immediately launched into a bombshell:

"Wei Qiankun!"

"Dare to touch my people?"

"I'll fuck your horse to death!"
