Warhammer Fantasy: I Have Total War System

Chapter 92 Bestowed with the Mark of Treacherousness

The red-bearded warrior did not choose to fight the mercenaries head-on.

He reacted extremely quickly, his toes barely touching the ground as he leaped up like a hawk, picked up Yue Pengrui who was covered by tree roots, and in one bound, he soared over everyone's heads and disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest.

No one is chasing him, and he can't catch up with him anyway.

"The doctor's here! Make way! Make way!"

The crowd surged toward Li Lin.

He continued to move forward instinctively, feeling his vision flickering between light and shadow, with flashing figures and imagined shouts everywhere.

"I had a feeling this military exercise was going to end in disaster; nothing good has happened since we started!"

"Nonsense! I said something was off when we signed the life-or-death contract!"

He Xu, who was squeezed at the front, saw the doctors that Chen Guizhou had brought, and the group immediately lifted Li Lin onto a stretcher.

He hurriedly pulled a box of pills from his pocket: "Why didn't you give him hemostatic pills? I have extra Dragon Blood Pills here!"

Jian Ping quickly pressed him down: "He's injured so badly, how can he take medicine? Let the doctor handle it, don't make things worse."

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from behind.

Jin Fu ruthlessly pushed his way into the crowd, squatted down next to Li Lin, and his massive black body acted like a wall, separating him from the outside world.

The jade bead in the stone lion's throat swirled and gurgled, like a mother cat's whimper for her dead cubs.

"Don't be afraid, it means no harm," Yi Ge suddenly spoke up after remaining silent.

"Without the young master's order, they can do nothing."

In Li Lin's ranks, only his close associates would call him "Young Master".

Later figures such as Chen Guizhou addressed him as "General Manager," "Lord," or "Commander-in-Chief Li."

Yi Ge's address, coupled with his unfathomable mercury armor, immediately calmed the doctor and guards down.

They hurriedly lifted the stretcher back onto the cart and headed towards the south-facing vehicle.

"Steward Li's injury cannot be healed with ordinary medicines and medical equipment."

While everyone was gathered around Li Lin, Qian Tang quietly walked to Chen Guizhou's side.

"Grand Secretary Chen, I have a jade bed and healing artifacts from the Sacred Yin Cottage in my spirit pool. Why don't you send them to me first?"

Chen Guizhou stroked his green beard.

He was familiar with Qian Tang and knew his character. He also knew that Qian Tang, He Xu, and Jian Ping were all disciples of the middle-level martial arts academy in Nan Gao. Unlike the other second-generation scions of the rear guard who were attached to the Nine Venerables of Nan Gao, this circle had always intended to form good relations with the Li family of Nan Li.

Qian Tang himself had previously bet a thousand gold coins that Li Lin would win, which was a gesture of goodwill; the probability of him plotting against Li Lin was extremely low.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Qian."

The old man took out a compass and summoned everyone. The doctors immediately changed course and headed towards a position further ahead of the allied forces.

During the journey, Jin Cai and Lai Fu, who had been hiding, also appeared around the group without anyone noticing, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far from the medical team carrying Li Lin.

They possess a nimble gait completely different from their rocky forms, moving like ghosts without making a sound, yet their jade-like eyes, which seem to be alive, can project a substantial chill and pressure.

Everyone surrounding Li Lin could sense a clear signal:

Anyone who dares to make a move at this time will surely be torn to pieces by these three stone lions.

The two young military doctors carrying the stretcher were trembling so badly that they almost dropped it.

The old medic at the front immediately called a halt, sending two brave and physically strong cooks to take over, while the two trembling men were sent to provide first aid to the Nanli garrison soldiers who had collapsed on the ground.

The Qiantang convoy voluntarily broke away from the Allied forces and camped on a low hill to the northeast of the Allied forces.

Five black wooden carriages formed a semicircle, with the iron-gray corner flag of Nangao Martial Arts Academy stuck on the carriage shafts.

The medical vehicle was located in the very center of the five vehicles, pulled by six pure black Aurora horses.

As soon as Li Lin and his group arrived, the Yu Yongjia guards who were waiting around the oxcart immediately opened the double iron gates that had been sealed off.

A bitter smell, a mixture of jade powder, cold iron, and some kind of disinfectant herb, wafted over.

This carriage is equipped with a spirit pool, and the space is two or three times larger than it appears from the outside.

However, the interior layout makes the space of about 100 square meters feel extremely cramped.

The carriage floor and walls were covered with polished obsidian slabs.

All the medicinal herbs, elixirs, and medical instruments are sealed inside a granite cabinet engraved with magical runes, which can only be opened with a special magical artifact.

In the very center was a dark green jade bed that was integrated with the entire carriage.

The bed surface is slightly concave, and its curvature perfectly matches the curve of a person's back when lying on their back. Underneath it is a bronze base engraved with the Eight Trigrams of Qian and Kun.

Li Lin was carefully placed on the jade bed. The old military doctor skillfully made a hand seal, and several white jade stands holding scissors and knives emerged from the base.

The doctors picked up extremely thin scalpels, the blades of which were dark and dull, with only a barely perceptible hint of dark green at the tip.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a processed dimensional stone, about the size of half a grain of rice.

"I must stay here and watch, I hope Mr. Qian understands," Yi Ge said, ignoring the obstruction and forcefully squeezing into the carriage. "I have already been fully disinfected, you can just do your own thing and pretend I don't exist."

The doctors didn't even glance at her, and swiftly punctured Li Lin's trachea to ensure he wouldn't suffocate.

Then she forcibly twisted his arm and used the tip of the dimensional stone knife to cut open his flesh.

"Continue releasing the poison," the lead surgeon, the old military doctor, said calmly. "Adjust the third array point on the jade bed to the 'Purple Spring' position, and then adjust it to the 'Azure Maiden Powder' point after ten breaths."

Suddenly, the entire jade bed glowed.

A soft, emerald light rose from beneath Li Lin, seeping into his limbs and bones.

But his breathing continued to weaken.

The feeling of my soul leaving my body, of floating upwards in a daze, came back again.

However, this time it was different from the desert; the dark sun overhead was extremely blurry.

After floating for a while, Li Lin suddenly felt a force pulling him down into the ground, accompanied by the sound of gushing water from a spring.

Something's not right.

Didn't a Chaos Demon extend an olive branch to him before?

Is it possible that I'm really going to die this time, so they're too lazy to tempt me and are just waiting for me to be dragged into the subspace?

"Li Lin".

A bird-shaped phantom shrouded in black mist suddenly appeared beside Li Lin and whispered discordant words to him.

A picture suddenly popped into Li Lin's mind: a tall woman squatting down next to him, nagging incessantly, which was quite comical.

"If you had to do it all over again, you would have a pre-arranged gathering."

"Can you defeat that expert from Kinmen?"

Li Lin fell into deep thought.

In Total War games, people often jokingly refer to General Haotian as "Aurora Superman" or "Aurora Captain".

No one knows why a mere mortal lord could possess melee abilities that could overwhelm even the Chosen Ones and the Great Demons; they simply consider it another product of the game designers' numerical inconsistencies.

Now he understands the reason behind Aurora's unique martial arts system.

This system is still an unfamiliar territory for him to explore, but from a practical point of view, he only needs to treat the Kinmen warrior as a small single target with very high attributes.

When you can't field a behemoth with higher attributes or a single-target opponent.

The remaining methods are magic and ranged attacks.

Ranged units are the worst choice. First, there are issues with the firing arc, making it easy for small units to dodge. Second, close-quarters combat is required to prevent them from getting too close, and there is also the risk of friendly fire.

Using magic is the best course of action.

The most effective and famous magic for countering single-target modules in the game is the metal-based "Ultimate Alchemy"!

"Remember your current thoughts." The black bird formed from smoke tilted its head and vanished without a trace.

A dim green light shone from the earlobe of Li Lin's soul.

The veil of reality thinned for a fleeting moment.

"Knowledge.

"change.

.Stimulate"

Li Lin heard the devil's ramblings from outside reality again.

The thought of having sex with Slaanesh resurfaced, but it was quickly overwhelmed by the desire for powerful magic.

After all, no matter how powerful the Slaanesh is, it can't compare to the power of a "Ultimate Alchemy" spell with 200 spell power.

When tackling high-difficulty modules, the feeling of instantly refining twenty or thirty Nurgle toads, High Elf star dragons, and Imperial landships with a single Great Alchemy is something you have to experience to understand. It's definitely more exciting than anything sexually suggestive.

Li Lin focused his consciousness, tilting his soul toward the realm of the treacherous.

"Very good, child, I saw it all along, you will make the right choice." The lustful demon's sweet words were instantly exposed, dissipating amidst a burst of indignant mockery and foul language.

The endless labyrinth and ever-changing star field opened their doors to Li Lin.

This time, there was no red blade to disrupt things, because unlike the weak Dark Prince, the Lord of Change had already seen through everything, planned everything, and trapped his enemies in a clever scheme.

Knowledge, like a twin-tailed comet streaking across Lustia, passed through layers of thick curtains, transforming into tiny dots of rouge, adorning Li Lin's forehead.

Li Lin suddenly felt as if his soul had been opened up, as if he had ascended to immortality.

However, an insurmountable golden barrier still separates him from the complete inspiration of the Lord of Change.

He still needs some means to activate the mark on his body.

But the master of all changes had already prepared everything...

Li Lin's vision went black.

His soul, which had briefly lingered between heaven and earth, was then absorbed into the Jar of All Spirits, which had been placed in the palm of his body at some unknown time.
