Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

“I want to go to the Orcs alone. Arya, please leave them with you. After I leave, I hope you can send them to the Dwarves. I think it will be a safe place for the time being.”

When the demons arrive, where will there be a safe haven? However, Lin Xueyin trusts her intuition that the winged race and the dwarves have their own escape routes. Once they arrive there, she can finally feel at ease.

"Lin Xueyin, do you know what you're saying?"

Arya stared in disbelief at the girl before her. Her calm, pretty face was filled with unwavering determination, which seemed to pierce Arya's heart.

"You're mocking me. I'm your guardian, I'll always protect you. How could you..."

"You are my guardian knight, and you will obey my orders, won't you? So, I now command you, as the lord, to take Kaliel, Kashael, Ariel, and Lilia with you to the Dwarf tribe under Marshal Lokaf's protection after I leave. With this token, you will be protected there."

Lin Xueyin gently sighed as she placed the token the Dwarf King had given her into Arya's hand. Finally, she could let go of all her burdens. Whether it was Irabel, Arya, or the friends who had once caused her heartache, nothing had changed. That was enough.

Lokaf was silent for a moment before slowly nodding. "Yes, I understand. Yukine, I will bring them safely to the dwarf tribe."

"Then thank you, Marshal. I can now proceed to the Beastmen with peace of mind."

Lin Xueyin smiled slightly, but this bright smile could no longer soothe everyone's hearts. Ailiya looked bitterly at the token in front of her. As a knight, loyalty was her basic duty. Similarly, obeying the orders given by her lord and carrying out the tasks assigned by her lord was what she should do. However, how could she carry out this order?

"Yukine..."

"Arya, please, you must do this. As your friend, I hope you can let me leave in peace."

Emmm, Lin Xueyin felt something was off when she said that. What did she mean by "leave in peace"? It made it sound like she was really going to die.

"Alright, don't worry. Actually, if we look at it another way, even without you guys, I can leave quickly if something unexpected happens. Don't forget, I'm not some weak little girl."

He waved his arms vigorously to show that he was still very capable. Although it seemed to have no effect, it would remind these people that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"Okay, Yukine, Ariel and the others will be waiting for you at the dwarves' place."

Arya firmly stated her promise, but also played a little trick.

Happy Chinese New Year! I'll be focusing on writing more chapters lately, since I'll be spending more time playing and less time reading novels. There's no need to keep taking up everyone's time waiting for updates. (^o^)/ I hope everyone has a great time during the Spring Festival.

Volume 7 The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter Thirteen Each with Their Own Hidden agendas (Two chapters published together)

Lin Xueyin remained quiet, saying nothing and doing nothing, simply watching the scenery on both sides of the carriage slowly recede into the distance. Ailiya stayed behind at Sunset Pass with the four little girls, and with her, Anxin also remained.

In this way, she could go to the Beastmen without any worries, and she wouldn't have to worry about her future. As for the Beastmen, Lin Xueyin could only chuckle.

He gently wiped a brand-new spear that gleamed with a cold light in his palm. He had retrieved it from the dwarf Mud, as his previous one had been lost in the ruins.

Setting the spear aside, Lin Xueyin took out another weapon from her spatial storage: an iron hammer with spikes covering its round head. She gently touched the sharp spikes with her finger, feeling a slight sting, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Is that an envoy from the Empire ahead?"

A cold voice rang in Lin Xueyin's ears, bringing her back to reality from her reverie. The human guards did not answer, but instead, the sound of their alert formations rang out.

"We are an envoy heading to the Beastmen. We don't know why you've blocked our way. What brings you here?"

Although she couldn't see the expression on the face of the man who had always disliked her, Lin Xueyin could still sense something was off from his smug tone.

"We are here on the orders of the acting chief to welcome your esteemed envoy. Please come out and answer our questions."

"Since it's a welcome, then let's welcome them. Why do we need to answer?"

"If we don't see your esteemed envoy, how will we know that you will send Lin Xueyin here?"

As expected of the beastmen, they speak without thinking. Lin Xueyin, with a hint of mockery on her face, opened the carriage door and sat inside. Her pure white priest's robe and the girl's innocent and beautiful face, illuminated by a beam of holy light, gave everyone a sense of holiness and inviolability.

"I am Krusgar, the commander of the Orc Berserker Legion. Greetings, Priest Lin. I am very grateful that you have come to our Orcs."

Upon seeing the girl inside the car, Kurusgar quickly led his men to dismount from the Gundam War Wolf and gave Lin Xueyin a Beastman military salute, which could be considered a grand welcome.

"Well, I don't know why you came here to welcome us, since we've only just left Sunset Pass."

"Pastor Lin, our beastmen and humans are sworn enemies, constantly at war with each other. The chieftain was worried that you might encounter some obstacles on your way here, so he specially sent me to welcome you, which can also reduce problems along the way."

"I see. Then I'll thank you in advance, Chief." Nodding politely, Lin Xueyin waved and closed the door again, but then she heard the beastmen driving away the guards around her carriage.

“We will protect Pastor Lin, you can leave now.”

“Your Excellency Kurusgar, these guards are my protectors. With their protection, I don’t think I need your car to follow me.”

“No, Pastor Lin, we are worried that human guards alone will not be able to protect you, so we hope you can accept our goodwill.”

The stern tone inside the carriage did not deter the beastmen; instead, they became even more aggressive, drawing their weapons as if they were about to clash with the guards at the slightest provocation.

The car window opened, and the staff emerged from the car. Just as Kurisgar was somewhat confused, a powerful beam of holy light descended from the sky and slammed into a huge stone mountain not far away.

The deafening roar made everyone feel the strong gust of wind, and then the girl's indifferent voice rang out.

"If you can do it too, then I'll let you protect me. If you can't, then get out of here and stop making a fool of yourself."

The rocky mountain had become a giant pit, from which some clear water slowly flowed, quickly forming a small lake. This caused many orcs to turn around in horror and look at the luxurious carriage in front of them.

Who did this? As a legion commander, Krusgar was quite capable and discerning. He dared to clash with the human guards because he believed he had the ability to suppress them. However, this girl's attack brought him back to his senses.

"A mere King-rank, I really don't know who gave you the courage to act so wildly here."

Furious but not daring to retaliate, he could only slam his fist into his chest, making a muffled sound, "In that case, we'll lead the way."

That powerful holy light not only humiliated the legion commander, but also severely intimidated these powerful orc warriors.

I originally thought it was just a simple job, and I might even be able to get some benefits from these little lambs. But I never expected that they were a group of little lambs, but the leader was a giant dragon.

"Commander, we are here under orders..."

He made a downward slashing motion, only to see Kurusgar glare fiercely at the soldier.

"Don't act rashly. Although the chief said we should destroy this girl, he also said we shouldn't kill her. The problem is, we are no match for them. If we use force, we might really expose the chief's plan."

"However, if things continue like this, it will be difficult for us to complete the mission."

The giant wolf beneath him emitted a bored snore, prompting Krusgar to pat his mount and turn his head to the horse not far behind him, where the human guards still surrounded him.

“I understand your thoughts, but the chief’s requirement is to take her there. As for what happens along the way, he won’t ask. I think you all understand that. But there’s no chance right now, so it’s better to just go. Let the chief handle any problems himself.”

After a moment of silence, it was clear that this was the only option at present. The opponent's strength was beyond their capabilities. Since even the King-level legion commander said he couldn't handle it, there was no need to take any risks.

Most importantly, if you can't land a fatal blow, you'll offend a powerful figure. If that person then wreaks havoc throughout the tribe, the losses will only be greater.

Lin Xueyin sat inside the carriage, her eyes gently closed, leaning against a cushion that the goblin Som had specially made for her. One has to admire the technological capabilities of the goblins.

In those few days, they actually managed to build me a brand new carriage, and one with complete safety measures. The strong wind from earlier had no effect on me inside the carriage at all.

And it wasn't just this car; Lin Xueyin gently took out all the items they had prepared for her from her spatial storage and carefully categorized them.

Although there weren't many medicines, the variety was quite complete. They also gave me a crossbow for self-defense and several boxes of crossbow bolts, all prepared specifically for me just in case.

Don't underestimate these crossbow bolts; they are magical crossbow bolts with anti-magic and armor-piercing effects. If you take these crossbow bolts out, each one will be quite valuable. If you were to generously give yourself a few boxes, it would be a huge financial loss for both the goblin Som and the dwarf Muld.

Thinking of Som's pitiful appearance when she left, even waving for her to hurry up and go, Lin Xueyin chuckled. You never expected the grumpy Som to show such an adorable side.

The caravan continued forward at a slow pace. The orcs tried several times to increase the speed, but Lin Xueyin refused each time. Speed ​​up? This was orc territory. If their stamina failed, problems could arise at any moment. Lin Xueyin was not stupid; she would not do something so self-destructive.

Seeing that the other party still refused several times, Kurusgar was very anxious, but decided to wait and see. If there was no opportunity, he would remain inactive.

Holding the letter the chief had sent him, it contained the same order, even more blatantly revealing his intentions: he must use every means at his disposal to complete the transformation of the priest before arriving. He was willing to stop at nothing.

She sighed softly. She had really gotten herself into a big mess. If she were to do something about it, it would probably be quite difficult, and she didn't know when she would be able to resolve it.

However, the other party was also moving slowly, giving me enough time to consider what to do.

The human man who had been making his presence felt the whole time—whether you call him a servant or a follower—was also talking to the person behind him.

He reported everything that had happened in the past few days, but after the other party gasped in shock, he received another order: Lin Xueyin must die completely on this northern ice plain, and she must not be allowed to come back alive.

A priest who can resurrect the dead is already a cause for great concern for them. If she were to return, given Prince Ikux's performance, he would undoubtedly marry her into the royal family. In that case, the royal family would gain a powerful ally, and the interests of these nobles would be further diminished by the king.

By then, there would probably be no place for these nobles to stand. Therefore, this woman must die. As for why she wasn't left in the beast tribe, that's even more ridiculous.

Placing her in the royal family would only jeopardize their own interests, but if they were placed in the beast tribe, wouldn't they be afraid of her retaliation? Besides, even if her status is low, who knows if the beast tribe will break the contract again and send troops again after gaining this powerful ally?

Black Fox Pass is not yet captured, and when they advance straight to Sunset Pass, even with Lin Xueyin's resurrection and healing, whether Sunset Pass can be defended is still unknown. Therefore, this woman must die, not only for the nobles, but also for the empire.

The caravan, each with its own ulterior motives, slowly made its way across the northern ice plains. As they approached Black Fox Pass, the scenery took on a distinctly northern feel.

Although it wasn't the snow-covered landscape Lin Xueyin had imagined, the boundless grassland still brought her a sense of comfort.

"Ohhhhhh..."

A giant wolf howled as the rider shouted, and slowed down just before reaching the carriage. Krusgar was somewhat lost in thought as he looked at the pretty face that appeared in the carriage window.

"Pastor Lin, we were hunting ahead and caught a wild boar. I'm bringing you half of it here. I hope you'll accept it."

Looking at the half-eaten wild boar that had been prepared, Lin Xueyin smiled. "Well, thank you very much. But we're almost at Black Fox Pass, aren't we? Should we camp here tonight?"

"Well, if you don't mind, you can speed up the journey. However, I suggest that it's better to set up camp nearby. There are still some water sources here. Once we pass Black Fox Pass, water will become scarce, so it's better to make some preparations in advance."

Lin Xueyin stared at Kurusgar for a moment, then a strange smile appeared on her face. "In that case, let's set up camp here and head to Black Fox Pass tomorrow."

Thank you for your understanding.

Kurusgar pointed to his camp ahead, and the giant wolf howled as it charged forward. Watching the orcs gradually disappear, Lin Xueyin, who had been smiling, now had a cold expression.

Black Fox Pass, I wonder what will happen there. But I've given you time, so don't let me down.

As the car window closed, her pretty face disappeared from view, leaving the guards outside who had been watching them somewhat disappointed. However, the words coming from inside the car the next second made them cheer.

"You can take this half of the pork and eat it. Just bring me a bowl later."

"Oh oh oh oh, long live Viscount Lin..."

Being able to eat some fresh meat here is a very exciting thing for these soldiers. As for beautiful women, they are still somewhat inferior to food.

Hearing the cheers outside, Lin Xueyin remained unmoved. She simply took out the spear from her pack again, made some preparations, and then hid some medicine on her person. Some unexpected events might occur tomorrow night, so she needed to prepare in advance.

Back at the camp, Kurusgar heard cheers from the human camp not far away. His usually stern face was filled with tension. The human camp had been temporarily calmed down, but he didn't know how well Black Fox Pass was prepared.

He summoned the orc warrior who had given him the advice earlier, whispered a few words in his ear, and the orc warrior quickly mounted his giant wolf and sped off towards Black Fox Pass.

Everything here is part of the chieftain's plan, yet why do I still feel so uneasy? They've clearly laid a trap, just waiting for the other side to fall right into it. But a feeling lingers in my mind that things aren't so simple.

Thank you so much to reader @{"reader_id":"80569","reader_name":"valent"} for the panties, and to reader @{"reader_id":"4227710","reader_name":"西河·索菲亚·苏"} for the reward. I am truly grateful and flattered. This sudden gift has really caught me off guard. I'm a little overwhelmed and shocked.

Volume 7 The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter 14 Turbulent Times Begin at Black Fox Pass (Two chapters released together)

Having witnessed the grandeur of Sunset Pass, Black Fox Pass presents a completely different style. How should I put it? It's rather eerie. The pass, nestled between two mountains, isn't particularly tall, yet it gives off a sense of impregnability.

Although nothing could be seen from the mountains on both sides, Lin Xueyin could still sense a strong killing intent emanating from them, as if that was the greatest guarantee.

He sneered inwardly. The nobles of the empire wanted to acquire Black Fox Pass, but they didn't know that the pass itself was not important. The most important thing was the hidden camps on the mountainside.
