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

"You...you're not asleep."

"How could I possibly sleep with rats around?"

His azure pupils coldly gazed at the two uninvited guests before him, his stern expression unwavering, causing the two people beside the bed to take a step back in fear.

The two men, annoyed that they had been frightened back by a little girl, exchanged a furious glance, threw down their short swords, and then somehow produced their own preferred weapons.

Just as the sword and blade revealed their ferocity, a gruff voice rang out, "We captured her alive before, but she escaped. Now, the mission is to kill her directly. We don't need to hold back."

"Don't worry, this kind of woman is unattainable. She's not as reliable as those women you can just pay to sleep with."

Even in the darkness, Lin Xueyin could still hear the evil in the other person's tone. Although she couldn't see her own face, she could feel the veins throbbing on her forehead.

"Go! Quick and decisive! We must take care of her as soon as possible."

Before Lin Xueyin could even get out of bed, the two men had already attacked with their swords. From their conversation, it was clear that they were assassins hired by the human race. Since they were able to hide in her bedroom, there must be a traitor among the human guards.

In this situation, Lin Xueyin dared not call people in casually. Some people might think that the traitor was one or two people, and that calling in many people would make her less hesitant to act rashly.

But don't forget, what if there's a mole nearby? What if they come in and take advantage of your unpreparedness to attack? Of course, there's an even more terrifying possibility.

That means all the guards are their accomplices. If they come in brazenly after I call for help, and then launch a sneak attack, I might really be doomed.

Lin Xueyin never believed she could escape such schemes and tricks. Now that there was an enemy in the open, she shouldn't give the enemy in the shadows any chance to take advantage of her.

Only in this way can we have the opportunity to obtain information when we defeat the enemy again. This is also the experience I gained after summarizing my experience in Yorktown.

Red names are monsters, that's fine. However, killing all the monsters directly can sometimes prevent you from obtaining other useful information from them.

Lin Xueyin also recalled some missions in the game before, the kind of missions where you defeat the enemy but don't kill them, and extract information from them.

The longsword that cleaved through the air and the long saber that arrived with chilling force cleaved his bed into three pieces, but the girl on the bed used her agility to get close to the two men before the swords and sabers arrived, cleverly using the distance to avoid the attacks.

He slammed both hands into the other's chest, and the two of them flew against the wall as if they had been hit by something heavy.

However, Lin Xueyin's face became even more solemn after hitting the enemy. The feeling of hitting the enemy was as if she had hit cotton, and she did not feel any solid impact at all.

An imperceptible gust of air caused her golden hair to flutter slightly. Lin Xueyin instantly jumped back, and a long sword descended from the sky. If she hadn't dodged quickly, the sword would have pierced her head in two.

However, dodging the first attack was not the end. What followed was a bone-chilling cold as a long sword came swiftly and slashed fiercely at the girl's slender, snow-white ankle.

As if she had fallen, her entire body smoothly avoided the attack. Lin Xueyin rolled several times on the ground in a very ungraceful posture before she managed to create some distance between herself and the two people.

However, even if there is a distance in the small room, how safe can it be? Lin Xueyin knew that the other party wanted to take advantage of the close proximity and the inconvenience of her casting spells to make her lose her greatest support.

But even if you know, what can you do? If you call someone in, and it turns out they are one of their people, your situation will become even more dangerous.

Although she really wanted to take out her staff, the opponent's attacks were like a storm, and Lin Xueyin had no chance to take out her staff from her spatial inventory again.

Damn it, aren't villains supposed to be all talkative? How come these two don't say a word and just start fighting right away, not giving me any chance to breathe?

"Can't you guys say a few polite words to make yourselves feel relevant?"

Although she knew it was foolish to ask so directly, Lin Xueyin wondered which deity she had offended, because she kept encountering people who didn't play by the rules.

However, she was met with two deadly blows aimed at her. This caused Lin Xueyin to become somewhat agitated.

"Fine, you're from a society that doesn't talk much, huh? I'll make sure you never have a word to say again."

Forced to flee for her life, the girl realized that her strength wouldn't last much longer. However, under these circumstances, Lin Xueyin was not without a chance to turn the tide.

As she raised her hand and the two swords fell again, the girl showed no intention of dodging. Her azure eyes were fixed firmly on the two assassins in the shadows.

With her raised right hand, she slowly drew out a silver staff from the space in front of her. Instead of the holy ring one would expect from a priest, the staff had a sharp spike at its top.

This makes the staff look more like a sharp spear when viewed as a whole.

Seeing that Lin Xueyin had already taken out her weapon, and that they couldn't break through the shield in time, the two quickly retreated, preparing for their next attack.

"The last kidnapping, the current assassination attempt—these nobles are truly persistent. They think a tiger is a sick cat just because it doesn't roar. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse."

Upon hearing Lin Xueyin's words, the two exchanged glances, sensing a hint of caution in each other's eyes. This girl was said to be able to fight against Berserker-level opponents, so they had made some preparations beforehand, but so far they had not seen any results.

"What's wrong? Are you wondering why your anti-magic smoke hasn't worked yet?"

"you know?"

The man asked in a gruff, harsh voice, his eyes already filled with a chilling murderous intent.

"Ha, you guys are really something. I've had so many bad luck because of this magic ban before, how could I not be wary of this happening again?"

If I were to fall for the magic ban again, I'd probably be driven to despair by the readers' wrath, no doubt about it. That's why I wasn't going to be foolish enough to fall for it again, and I drank a holy potion early on to specifically counteract this negative buff.

"Hmph, little girl, you think you can get rid of the crisis like this? You're too naive."

That's right, she was too naive. Lin Xueyin spoke as if she were showing off, but what she got in return was a cold laugh and a barrage of insults.

Although she had a shield, Lin Xueyin still felt a pang of fear and quickly dodged the attack. Sure enough, the opponent's longsword pierced through her shield as easily as piercing a windowpane.

"That's...that's the Demon-Slaying Blade! How...how do you have such a weapon?"

This kind of magic-piercing blade, which is specifically designed to break through a mage's shield, is like a natural enemy of mages. Lin Xueyin understands that when facing such a weapon, any mage's shield is just a fragile piece of paper and cannot be used at all.

Faced with his question, the other party did not answer at all, not even sparing him a glance. The woman with the rough voice used her weapon to block all his escape routes.

And the Demon-Slaying Blade followed, ready to pierce through the girl inside the shield at any moment.

Thank you so much to reader @BlackRain for the generous donation! I am truly grateful. I never expected to receive so many donations this month; I am really flattered.

Volume 7 The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter Seventeen The Twins Arrive (Two chapters released together)

The appearance of the Demon-Slaying Blade startled Lin Xueyin slightly, but it didn't make her too worried about her safety, since she relied on more than just magic.

"With the Demon-Slaying Blade, let's see how arrogant you can still be. Just obediently accept your death."

The man arrived swiftly, his long sword flashing a chilling light before the retreating girl's eyes in an instant. The girl, with her spear in hand, swung it around, thwarting the longsword that had suddenly attacked from behind her.

Since the shield was no longer of any use, Lin Xueyin had no choice but to use her spear to fight the two men directly.

"Hmph, you're quite capable, but how long can you last without your magical support?"

Holding the gun in one hand, Lin Xueyin infused her divine magic into the spear, and the gleaming spear tip drew a beautiful arc as the opponent parried.

Lin Xueyin's face was ashen. Her first attack missed, so she waved her hand, and a magical barrier behind her blocked the other female assassin's longsword behind her again.

Two assassins relentlessly surrounded and attacked Lin Xueyin. However, the girl was equally resilient, wielding her spear with impenetrable skill, and her shield could block the attack of the other assassin at crucial moments.

As time went on, the two assassins gradually became anxious. If the stalemate continued, and they were discovered by the guards outside, the advantage would shift to the young girl.

Lin Xueyin was worried that there was a traitor among the guards, but the assassins knew exactly who had sent them in, so at this moment, they were even more anxious than Lin Xueyin.

The attacks were like a whirlwind, relentless and unstoppable. Yet, the girl in the midst of this storm remained calm, steadily blocking all of her opponent's attacks and preventing them from ever entering her safe zone.

Amidst the flashing blades, spears held high, and shields stood firm, neither side yielding an inch in this life-or-death battle, which left both sides feeling their stamina rapidly dwindling.

Lin Xueyin was equally anxious. She knew her own situation. Although the shield allowed her to conserve some energy, she was still at a disadvantage against these assassins, or rather, warriors.

Speaking of which, I must thank the orc's bear paw, which greatly increased my stamina and gave me a solid foothold in this high-intensity battle.

"The little girl is quite tenacious, but you're also at your limit."

Two assassins, one in front and one behind, increased their attack speed again, accompanied by the man's voice. Lin Xueyin almost couldn't catch her breath. They had already fought to this point, and now they were unleashing another burst of power. Tell me, is this reasonable? Is it reasonable?

Whether it's reasonable or not, Lin Xueyin felt like she had become the boss of the opposing team. Halfway through the fight, she unleashed a burst of power and won in one fell swoop.

Lin Xueyin thought the other party was going crazy. How could someone as harmless as her be treated like a boss?

"Don't go too far, or I'll unleash my ultimate move."

With a single thrust of her spear, Lin Xueyin clenched her almond-shaped eyes wide, her teeth clenched, wishing she could give those two a good beating. Then she'd open their skulls to see what was inside.

However, the girl's anger received no response; instead, the opponent's attacks became even more rapid, and even caused cracks to appear in Lin Xueyin's shield.

Unable to do anything but block the man's demon-slaying blade, Lin Xueyin had no choice but to let the other woman's attack land on her shield.

"I've been waiting for this moment."

The woman smiled coldly, and her long sword instantly struck, piercing the shield behind Lin Xueyin and creating ripples. At this moment, the woman attacked again, appearing behind Lin Xueyin in the blink of an eye.

A blade identical to the man's gleamed with a dark purple light as it stabbed fiercely towards Lin Xueyin's back. Unbeknownst to them, a triumphant smile played on the face of the girl whose eyes were hidden by her bangs.

A golden light flashed in his hand, but before he could make a move, he heard the woman's miserable scream from behind.

"You dare to ambush our sister? You really have guts."

Black twin ponytails hung down on either side of her shoulders, and her beautiful eyes shone with an icy light, murderous intent, and bloodlust. Accompanied by the crimson moon gradually emerging from the dark clouds, the entire room became even more eerie and inexplicable.

Of course, Lin Xueyin, who was holding a spear and preparing to stab someone, was not among those who felt something was amiss. At this moment, her face had turned an indeterminate color.

"You...you...you all..."

"Pfft, Xueyin-neechan, you'd better close your mouth first, or a frog will jump in."

"I wouldn't jump into a frog's nest! What's going on here? How could you... how could you..."

"Will you appear here, or dressed like this?"

A little girl in a black outfit stood there, holding daggers that gleamed with a cold light in both hands. At her feet lay the female assassin, whose convulsions had gradually stopped.

Lin Xueyin was horrified, yes, horrified. The little girl she had been taking care of had suddenly transformed into a man-eating tiger. How could she not be horrified?

"Haha, I must not have woken up properly today. It turns out I was dreaming. No wonder it felt so unreal."

However, after she said that, she was promptly met with a big eye roll and a crisp snapping sound.

"If you want to run away, you'll have to ask us if we agree first."

Kaliel, who was originally separated from the man by Lin Xueyin, instantly appeared in the man's likely escape route. The little girl was playing with a tooth-like dagger in her hand. The man, suppressing his inner turmoil, held the knife horizontally in front of his chest.

"As expected of the Night Twins, didn't you stop accepting missions? What are you doing here again?"

"Ha, you want to kill our sister, and we can't even come to protect her? You ants dare to lay a hand on our sister so casually, who gave you the courage?"

"Sister, why bother talking to him so much? Just get straight to the point and smash their heads in. We still need to rest with Sister Xueyin later."

On the other side, Kasha'er was a little unhappy to see her older sister still wasting time talking to the assassin who dared to kill Lin Xueyin. Wouldn't it be better to just kill this kind of person?

"Sister, don't you think it would be a very satisfying thing to let this man die in endless despair and regret?"

"Sister, Xueyin is still here, you..."

"Ah... never mind what I just said, I'll take care of this man now."

"Do you think I'm stupid if you don't say anything?" Lin Xueyin rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything more at this moment, because she still had many unsolved mysteries that she needed this person to help her solve.

"Kaliel, wait, you can't kill this person."
