"Pastor Lin, Black Fox Pass is just ahead. Let's go in before it gets dark."
Looking at Kurusgar, whose eyes were slightly flickering, Lin Xueyin simply nodded and pulled her head back inside the car window.
"Let's go. I wonder what kind of feast you've prepared for me inside Black Fox Pass."
The cold, monotone sound emanating from inside the vehicle sent a chill down the orc legion commander's spine. Staring fixedly at the slowly moving vehicle, he could only shake his head helplessly, hoping he was just overthinking things.
The wooden wheels, damped by magic, rolled slowly across the ground. As the black fox closed the gate, the human and beastman armies entered the pass in orderly fashion.
Although Lin Xueyin, sitting in the carriage, couldn't see what was happening outside, she could tell from the sound of the guards raising their shields that the orcs inside the pass were definitely showing strong hostility.
"Take back your shields. I'd like to know, at this point, which orc dares to lay a hand on us?"
Staring hostilely at the group of human soldiers, some of the orcs had even drawn their weapons, and a fierce conflict could break out at any moment. But even in this situation, Lin Xueyin's voice came from inside the car.
Instead of being on guard, it was as if they had laid down their guard. The voice, filled with murderous intent, made the beastmen shudder and dare not make the slightest move.
“Since their chief invited us here, we, as guests, should act like guests and not worry too much. I think they wouldn’t dare to do anything to us right now.”
Seeing that the orcs, who had been somewhat restless just moments before, no longer dared to make any rash moves, the many guards looked at the luxurious vehicle with admiration. From the initial intimidation to the current fearlessness, these guards, who were alone inside the enemy ranks, felt a sense of security.
"Let's go..."
Krusgar looked at the orcs before him, who dared not move in anger, and couldn't help but sigh. This aura of a powerful being had been deeply imprinted in the hearts of these orc warriors. It was not apparent now, but once a battle broke out, it would probably be a completely different story.
"Haha, welcome Pastor Lin to our Black Fox Pass."
A long, drawn-out laugh, carrying an irresistible force, rushed over. With the appearance of this sound, the many orcs were slightly relieved and looked at the source of the sound with admiration.
"Since you're welcome, isn't it necessary to come in person?"
The clear voice seemed oblivious to the imposing aura, speaking calmly in the car as if recounting a mundane matter.
However, the speaker still let out a soft sigh before responding seriously.
"I never imagined that the human race would have such a young talent. It's truly enviable."
"The orc race must have quite a few outstanding young talents."
Inside the carriage, the young women exchanged polite compliments, but whether they were sincere or not, only the two of them knew the truth.
"Then I wonder if the young lady will take a liking to any of our beastmen's young talents."
One sentence almost scared Lin Xueyin to death. What was going on? Favoritism? I guess the thing that the young talents of your beast race want to do most is to beat me to death on the spot.
"Then we'll have to wait and see what the true capacity of these young talents of the beast race is."
In short, I'm telling you, those petty scum of the orcs, you should just stay out of the way and stop dreaming about those unrealistic, impossible dreams.
"Then I'll wait and see."
The man's hearty voice grew louder as he approached, seemingly now quite close. The girl inside the car, however, remained unmoved, sitting upright.
"In that case, let's take a look."
While everyone was somewhat flustered, the girl maintained her calm tone and spoke.
"Let's go, the men are already waiting inside the fortress ahead."
That's right. It's a fortress, a structure that looks like a military stronghold, standing right in the middle. Although Lin Xueyin didn't open the car window, she still had her own ways of observing everything outside.
Hearing Lin Xueyin's words, the guards resumed their advance, slowly moving towards the fortress whose outline could now be seen. The orcs on both sides, having overheard the conversation, watched the departing convoy with expressions of awe, their thoughts unknown.
As the vehicle drew closer, a strong orc sat upright inside the fortress. His eyes held a restrained glint of intelligence, yet exuded an aura of insurmountable power.
The orc glanced at his subordinates, who still wore disdainful expressions, and snorted in dissatisfaction.
"What, you still look down on that human priest?"
"Commander, we were well stationed at Black Fox Pass, why did we have to hide in the forest? I just don't understand. The human race is so cowardly. If we just send troops to intimidate them, what kind of people wouldn't they send? Why do we have to use such a humiliating method to send people here?"
Just as a male orc finished speaking, he saw that the commander on the main seat had eyes filled with disappointment and sternness.
"Warring with humans? The old chieftain has just returned to the ancestral god, and the new chieftain has just taken office. Yet you want to ignore the instability within the tribe and launch a distant expedition? Do you think humans are really a bunch of weaklings who can do whatever they want to you?"
"I...."
"What about you? Don't you think the same way? Those who thought the same way last time are probably already overgrown with weeds by now. Have you all forgotten that great battle before? At Sunset Pass, who was it that used a resurrection spell to make us die with our grievances at the pass?"
His stern gaze swept over the crowd below, a hint of disappointment showing at the corner of his lips beneath his sharp fangs.
“I don’t want my men to have such thoughts. If that woman comes, you all need to be on your guard. If she can stay with our beastmen, it will be a very fortunate thing for us.”
"Understood, coach. We will definitely perform well."
Despite this, the male orc on the main seat still understood that in their eyes, humans were still synonymous with weakness, and they would still not take this great enemy, with whom they had fought for hundreds of years, seriously.
"Judging by the time, they should be arriving soon. Let's go out together to greet these guests from afar."
After speaking, he stood up and took the lead towards the gate, followed by his trusted subordinates.
Humans and beastmen are about to make contact, but the situation is quite different for the demons. Elufina coldly looks at the necromancers in front of her, the mockery on her face never disappearing.
"Demon King, only when you die can we accomplish our great cause and fulfill our lifelong dream. So, for the sake of the entire continent, please die."
Dark energy, carrying intense killing intent, shot towards the girl standing on the chariot, her long purple hair fluttering and scattering with the surging wind.
"It's really scary, but unfortunately, you still don't understand."
The hands opened into claws, and as they crossed, they slashed through the air like two bloody claws, tearing the dark energy sphere into four pieces, which then dissipated into the space.
"I never expected that after I had your Cursed Temple designated as a cult, you really couldn't hold back and came to assassinate me. I don't know whether to say you have courage or that you are courting death."
“Bastard, Elufelna, remember this: it was your biggest mistake to label our Cursed Temple as a cult. One day, you will all become slaves and pay the price for your actions.”
Beneath the black cloak, a furious roar of resentment erupted from the concealed face, followed by an even more intense attack. However, the overwhelming black aura had already enveloped the entire surrounding area.
Not only did all the attacks disappear into the black mist, but even the necromancers were covered by it, and one after another, shrill screams came from within.
When the black mist dissipated again, only Elufina remained on the road. It wasn't that everyone else was lying on the ground, but rather that everyone had vanished without a trace.
"You really are overestimating yourselves. But since you dare to come here to assassinate me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Several two-headed ogres reappeared from nowhere, lifting the carriage again. Elufina sat languidly atop it, making it hard to believe that she was the one who had previously slaughtered dozens of necromancers, leaving no trace of their bodies.
"We need to act quickly, otherwise it won't be safe here when Xiaoxue arrives. How am I supposed to put the anti-magic bracelet on her then? Without the anti-magic bracelet, there are a lot of games we won't be able to play."
"Srikra, how are things going on your side? I don't want our game room to be unprepared when Yukine arrives."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, we have prepared many interesting things inside, and the room is large enough to hold many toys. I guarantee you will love it."
"Haha, then I'll wait for the surprise you'll give me. If it's really good, I definitely won't be stingy with the reward."
With a long laugh, Elufina was already eagerly anticipating the girl's arrival. Now, she was just waiting for the orcs' plan to proceed perfectly. When everything was over, that would be the time for her to successfully bring back that runaway, disobedient little girl.
"Your Majesty, Lin Xueyin has already gone to the Black Fox Pass of the Beastmen. We have found out that both the Human and Beastmen seem to be taking action."
Just as Elufina was anticipating Lin Xueyin's arrival and their enjoyable game, a woman surrounded by smoke appeared not far from her carriage, kneeling on one knee and reporting all the information she knew.
"Get up first, Smoke Demon."
Looking at her captain of the guard, who was like a shadow, always protecting her, she had always placed one hundred percent trust in her.
"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to send some people to protect the Princess. After all, the place is too chaotic right now. The barbarians are restless, and the beastmen and humans are each harboring their own secrets. It is indeed too dangerous for the Princess to be alone."
"I know, I've already sent people over, don't worry."
"Your Majesty, I do not believe that the person you sent is capable of ensuring the safety of Her Highness the Princess. I hope that the elite of our clan can be sent to protect her. Only in this way can the Princess be protected from danger."
Although she knew the other person was concerned about her, Elufina still raised her hand to refuse her suggestion and continued.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I don't think that little girl is someone to be trifled with. They'll have to see if they have the ability to hurt her."
Seemingly recalling some unpleasant memories, Elufina continued, "Have your people who are skilled in invisibility follow Yukine the entire time to prevent any unexpected accidents from happening to her. Remember, you must protect her life. As for minor injuries, don't bother with them yet."
"But....."
"Alright, if we don't make her suffer a little, how will she know where her safest haven is?"
Seeing that the Demon King seemed to have made up his mind, Yanmei bowed slightly and was about to leave when she heard the Demon King on the palanquin speak again.
"Just let her suffer a little, don't let her get seriously injured."
She stumbled and almost fell to the ground. This Demon King was always decisive in everything he did, but when it came to Lin Xueyin, he seemed so indecisive. He clearly missed her terribly, but why couldn't he hurry up and bring her back?
Besides, if you're worried, just say so. We can send people to protect her. But how are we supposed to decide if you want to protect her or make her suffer a little? Can't we be a little reasonable?
“Your Majesty, I think that if you really want to punish the Princess, you can bring her back and punish her yourself. Then you can do whatever you want.”
This seemed like a good idea. After waving the other person away, Elufina also fell into deep thought. It seemed that once the amusement park was completed, she would have plenty of time to let her know how to act as her little wife.
Thank you so much to readers @{"reader_id":"650770","reader_name":"夏洛超可爱"}, @{"reader_id":"4260876","reader_name":"梦雨霖音"}, and @凌の绫 for their generous donations! This was a truly unexpected surprise, and I'm incredibly flattered. Hmmm, let me think, there seem to be quite a few donations this month. Maybe I should add an extra chapter to express my gratitude?
I've been saving up drafts lately, so any extra chapters will probably be at the end of the month. There's no way around it, I don't have many drafts left, I was a bit lazy during the Lunar New Year holiday.
Should I include the names of these generous donors in the extra chapters I add later? Hmmm, I'll consider it.
Volume 7 The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter Fifteen The Banquet (Two chapters released together)
"Welcome, human envoys, from afar. I am the Marshal of Black Fox Pass, Blade Wickory, and I am delighted to meet the rising stars of the human race."
Hearing the sounds outside, Lin Xueyin slowly stepped down from the car. Looking at the many orc officers who were already lined up neatly, she showed no fear on her face.
Her calm demeanor made the beastmen unconsciously hold the human girl in higher regard. With only a few dozen guards, trapped in enemy territory, she showed no fear whatsoever; her courage and audacity alone earned their admiration.
"Pastor Lin, we have prepared a room for you. You can rest first, and we can have dinner together later."
"We'll follow your lead, and we're sorry to have troubled you all." His flawless smile gave people a warm and welcoming feeling, yet also carried a subtle sense of distance.
With a wave of his hand, he was led by several orc women into the open gates of the fortress. The interior was indeed in line with the orcs' style of universal conscription; even the various rooms had sharp barbs. If any enemy dared to rush in, these barbs would give the intruders a hard time.
"Pastor Lin, this way please."
Following this, Lin Xueyin observed these female beastmen. Hmmmm, they didn't fit her aesthetic standards at all. To be honest, before she came, she thought there would be beast-eared girls, but all of these beastmen had green skin, which didn't conform to human aesthetics.
A pair of fangs, though not as large as those of a male orc, were still an eyesore. Lin Xueyin suddenly had a wicked thought: what a disappointment it would be if two orcs kissed.
"Pastor Lin, do I have a question?"
Looking at the human girl in front of him with some strangeness, he thought she was a heinous villain, but as a beastman, he had a natural admiration for the strong, so he didn't feel much ill will towards her.
"It's nothing, it's just a bit strange. Is this place all military? Are there no residents?"
"Well, apart from us essential maids, there are no ordinary people here; it's all military personnel."
It really is true. They really treat this place as a military stronghold. But thinking about it, it makes sense. This is the only formidable pass for the orcs, so it's not ideal to have residents here.
