Volume 7 The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter 37 The Will of the Beastmen and the Demon King's Arrangements (Two chapters published together)
The news that the priest from the human race who came to help the Beast King with his treatment had awakened from his coma once again spread throughout the Beast King's tent. If before it might have been mistaken for a rumor, since no one had seen the girl leave the room, now there was photographic evidence to prove it.
The news that the girl had emerged from the room and forcefully suppressed the two orc princes spread like wildfire among some orcs, giving most of the orc civilians even more confidence that the girl could heal their king.
So, now that the priest has awakened, shouldn't he go and treat the Beast King's injuries? With this thought in mind, some beastmen came to the courtyard where Lin Xueyin lived to make a plea.
Yes, it was willing. These beastmen surrounded the entrance to her residence, quietly waiting for the girl to appear. In front of them, dozens of human guards faced this surging sea of people, feeling very timid.
"Holy crap, what the hell is going on? Have these orcs gone mad?"
Looking at the silent orcs staring at them with their large, bell-like eyes, the human warriors gripped their spears tightly, the tips pressed against their chests, determined not to let the orcs take another step forward.
“Step back. We don’t want to have a conflict with you, but Pastor Lin is still resting inside, so you cannot take another step forward.”
"roar....."
Being intimidated by the spears of humans, whom the orcs had always considered cowardly, greatly angered the orc civilians who considered themselves brave. However, in this place, they dared not easily clash with these human warriors.
It wasn't that they were worried about being defeated, but rather that they were worried about disturbing the girl's rest inside. They dared not, or rather, they dared not easily lose their minds in the face of this woman.
However, they did not realize that when the crowd gathered there, they had already become a weapon for some people. What they thought they could control often turned out to be a situation that was completely out of their control.
The first day passed without any conflict or problems. Even the orcs maintained a degree of composure.
Arya wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and looked at the girl in front of her with a half-smile, feeling a bit annoyed.
"We're working so hard all to protect you, and you're just laughing at me like this? Can't you talk to me properly?"
Lin Xueyin chuckled softly as she leaned gently against the headboard, her pearly teeth peeking out from between her lips as she slowly spoke her words.
"This is nothing. Don't worry, those people will definitely put on a big show for me. When that happens, remember not to hold back, just poke hard and make sure to lure out all those beastmen warriors."
This is a bit puzzling. This girl clearly wants to make a big fuss. Everyone else wants to make a big deal out of a small matter and settle things peacefully, but she does the opposite and insists on making a big deal out of a big deal, so that she can get what she wants.
"Haha, just listen to me. Don't worry, I'll make all the necessary preparations. There's nothing to worry about."
Although Ailiya still felt uncertain after hearing Lin Xueyin's words, she decided to listen to her out of trust. Besides, if things got out of hand, so be it; her only goal was to protect her safety.
Since the other party has already made a move and is preparing to threaten her safety, it is understandable for her to fight back with her sword. There's no need to make a fuss.
"You've figured it out?"
"Yes, I've thought it through. From now on, I will still protect your safety and won't let you be in any danger."
Looking at the girl leaning softly against the bed, her complexion had slightly returned after a few days of rest. Overall, her condition was much better than before, so it was a small relief.
"Remember, if things outside show any signs of getting out of control, make a big fuss about it. Don't let us be too passive, otherwise, there will be more trouble later."
"Yukine, do you know something?"
Hearing Lin Xueyin's explanation, Ailiya couldn't help but feel that this little girl was hiding something from her, but what could it be?
Lin Xueyin, equally unprepared for Aria's sudden question, narrowed her eyes slightly before laughing out loud, "I just woke up. If I wasn't worried about you getting hurt, why would I give such an order? Alright, don't overthink it."
Hearing Lin Xueyin say this, Ailiya was a little unhappy. She felt that there was something wrong with this little girl, but she couldn't figure out what it was. She could only look at the smiling girl in front of her with a heavy heart.
"I'm going out now; there are still a lot of things to take care of outside."
"Yes, go ahead, go ahead, Arya, promise me you'll be careful."
The worried voice made Aria straighten her back and walk out of the room with determination. "Don't worry, Yukine, I will always protect you. No matter where you are, I will be with you."
"What if I get captured by the demons?"
For some reason, Lin Xueyin's words left both of them stunned, staring at each other in disbelief, before Ailiya continued speaking.
"If you've been captured by the demons, then I'm afraid I'll already be..."
"You idiot, you big idiot, you super big idiot, you go out and reflect on your actions! You keep saying such unlucky things. Don't you know how to say I'll be with you?"
Seeing Lin Xueyin's exasperation, Ailiya suddenly burst out laughing. Her previously troubled expression had returned to its previous calm.
"Yes, even if we end up in the Demon Realm, I will stay with you, okay, little girl?"
"Hmph, you're not much older than me."
"That's still older than you, but the demons don't like having a holy priest like you as a guest, so you'd better stay here with us."
As Aria spoke, she noticed Lin Xueyin's gradually relaxed smile, glanced around the room, and then gently closed the door. Lin Xueyin and the two little girls were left by the bedside, seemingly having something to say.
As the door closed, a shadow of gloom returned to Lin Xueyin's previously relaxed face. Her opponent's move had indeed taken her by surprise.
Although she expected the other party to publicize her news, she did not expect them to incite ordinary people to put pressure on her. It seems that the other party is not a simple orc.
Meanwhile, in the distant Demon Realm, inside the Demon King's Castle, a chilling voice sent shivers down the spines of those around.
"You're saying that Lin Xueyin was ambushed while saving that damned Beast King, resulting in a magical backlash that left her unconscious?"
Seeing the enraged Demon King, the assassin, whose alluring figure was accentuated by the black clothes, secretly rejoiced that he had listened to his leader and reported later. Otherwise, he would probably have been beaten to death by the Demon King.
The fact that the Demon King, who was always calm and collected, suddenly reacted so strongly surprised the Shadow-level assassin who had come to pay his respects.
"Your Majesty, Pastor Lin has regained consciousness and is currently recovering from her injuries, so..."
"So what? Bring her back to me from the beastmen right now." This girl, always out there getting hurt, really, why can't she give me a break? At first, I wanted her to have more fun, but now, she doesn't need to. She just needs to come back obediently and be a good queen.
"What, aren't you going yet..."
"Your Majesty, we cannot do it now..."
"Can't what? Can't you bring my little girl back? Then just send out your troops and wipe out the beastmen."
Almost choking on his own breath, Krastom rubbed his aching forehead helplessly and advised, "Your Majesty, if you send troops to attack the Beastmen now, Lin Xueyin's situation will be even more dangerous."
"How could that be? Would the orcs really send her to the front lines?" As soon as she said that, Elufina realized she had said something stupid.
Why wouldn't we send her to the front lines? If the beastmen were to use her as a tool to kill someone else, Lin Xueyin would likely be in grave danger. Damn it, those damned beastmen.
"I don't think those orcs would be so brainless as to attack Pastor Lin when they themselves are in danger. After all, her existence is very important to a great war."
Looking at Elisil who was speaking, Krastom frowned deeply. He seemed to be helping the Demon King, but his thoughts were probably not that simple.
Elufina looked at the Western Marshal in front of her. What he said seemed to make sense. However, after calming down, she did not want her little woman to take such a big risk. Even if she wanted her to come back obediently, she had her own way.
"Your Majesty, our Northern Army still has many problems. If we send troops hastily, although we will not be defeated, it may cause heavy casualties. Therefore, I urge you to reconsider."
At this moment, Marshal Krosgar, who commanded millions of demons in the north, moved his enormous body to the center of the hall and spoke.
"The Northern Legion still has a lot of supplies to procure. Your Majesty, please suppress your anger. When the time comes, we will have our swords to seek justice for the Princess."
Elufina wore a faint smile, while Alexir looked utterly dejected. This guy really knew how to talk. What do you mean we weren't prepared? You guys were all ready a long time ago! Did he really think he was just assisting and didn't know the inside story?
The Northern Legion, which had long been prepared to send troops, was ready to launch a war to annihilate the Beastmen at any time. Moreover, based on their current strength, they could wipe out not only the Beastmen but also the Barbarians in just a few dozen days.
Seeing the Northern Marshal Crossgard retreat again, Elisil wished he could pry open the giant's head to see what was inside. Was it really okay to betray his teammates like this?
He had already noticed the furious look in Elisil's eyes, but he didn't care. He was directly under the Demon King, and no matter how much dissatisfaction this guy had, he would take it all back.
You damn bastard, don't let me catch you doing anything wrong, or I'll definitely kill you, I'll definitely kill you...
As someone who had also met Lin Xueyin, Ronakros smiled slightly as he thought of the girl he had seen before. He hadn't expected that this girl had already caused some rifts among the four marshals even before she arrived here. Her small and cute appearance really didn't seem to have such great charm.
"Alright, the main reason we're here is to discuss the Northern Beastman Alliance and the Human Race. Our plan is nearing completion. Do you have anything to add?"
"Your Majesty, now that the Queen Consort has arrived in the Beast Clan, we cannot allow her to be in danger. Therefore, I suggest that we increase her protection."
Upon hearing that the protection force needed to be increased again, Ailishier subconsciously frowned. "The Saint-level beings on the Beastmen's side are not to be underestimated. If we send out a large number of people to protect Pastor Lin, we may not escape the detection of those Saints. So I suggest we maintain the current situation. I think Pastor Lin is definitely capable of protecting himself."
He cautiously glanced at Elufina in her seat. Her face was expressionless, making him unsure if what he had said had displeased her. However, it was better to make things clear.
“Your Majesty, if we arouse the suspicion of the Saints, I am worried that it will put Pastor Lin in an even more dangerous situation. Moreover, Pastor Lin has quite a few people protecting her. I think we can relax a little for now and send out a large number of people to protect her when we are really going to make a move.”
Of course, by then, you will also be able to find her body, and in the pupils hidden beneath your eyelids, a sinister glint will flash.
"Your Majesty, how about I go and protect that little girl? I think, with my abilities, even if all the Saint-level beastmen came out, they wouldn't notice me. Of course, I'm not targeting the Saint-level beastmen; I'm just saying that those Saint-level beastmen are trash."
Krastrom saw a hint of worry in Elufina's eyes, but the matter was simple. In any case, the Eastern Legion hadn't made any major moves recently, so he had plenty of time to protect the little girl's safety.
"Krastom, I'm at ease letting you go there, but..."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not allow the Queen to suffer any harm. However, the matter of the Eastern Legion will require more attention from Ronnacross."
After listening to his friend's words, Ronaldo knew that this guy was definitely going to slack off again. You can always ask me to help you when you're lazy, but why are you slacking off so openly now?
He glanced at the resentful-looking Ronnacross with amusement. As their friend, he knew exactly what was going on between them. One was slacking off and running around, while the other was constantly cleaning up after his friend.
"Alright, Krastrom, you should finish your work with the Eastern Legion first. After the Orcs are dealt with, we'll start targeting the Humans. That will be the best time for me to bring that little girl back."
After a moment of silence, ignoring Ronacross's excitement and the joy of finally getting justice, Krastrom seemed somewhat uneasy.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to take action against the human race? I think the Princess Consort certainly wouldn't allow you to..."
"Alright, you should know what the humans have done to Xueyin. I'm just collecting some interest for Xueyin. If those humans don't behave, I don't mind wiping them out."
With a slight raise of her delicate eyebrows, Elufina still harbored resentment towards Lin Xueyin's experiences among humans. Of course, that wasn't the main point. The main point was that it was said the human royal family actually wanted their prince to marry their little girl. How could anyone tolerate that?
From the moment she learned of this news, she had already planned to make the human race pay the price. And this was the perfect opportunity.
"You may all leave. According to the previous plan, have the orcs speed up their actions."
"clear...."
As everyone filed out, Krastrom quietly watched the departing figure of Elisil, his brow furrowing slightly.
He felt a slight unease about this matter, and Alisil's behavior today made him even more convinced that this person was definitely plotting something behind the scenes. He just hoped that Alisil wouldn't do something stupid.
A delicate hand gently patted Krastrom's shoulder. "I said, why are you looking at that man? He's not even as pretty as you."
Wanting to roll his eyes at his friend, Krastrom slapped the hand off his shoulder in annoyance. "Keep an eye on the Eastern Legion for me. I want to go to the Orcs. I'm still worried about the Queen."
"Tsk tsk, you wouldn't have taken a fancy to the princess..." Suddenly, a bolt of dark purple lightning exploded in the clear sky, silencing the two of them.
"I was just joking..."
Ronacross turned around with a displeased look at the Demon King's Castle behind him, only to be met with another bolt of dark purple lightning.
"Alright, alright, I'm really scared of you. You get jealous so easily, and the girl is so young... Alright, alright, I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't come anymore..."
Suddenly, streaks of spatial lightning appeared around him, completely surrounding him, waiting for the other party to say another word before unleashing a powerful explosion.
With a wry smile, Krastrom shook his head and glanced at the silent castle. "I'll go to the Northern Orc Alliance. I'm still worried about the Queen's safety, so the East still needs Ronacross's attention."
It seemed as if a cold snort was heard before the surrounding thunder disappeared, prompting Ronnacross to roll his eyes at his gloating friend.
"Let's go. Honestly, only the princess could tolerate this woman."
Inside the castle behind them, a beautiful, tall figure watched the departing two closely, hoping they could protect Xueyin; it was far too dangerous there.
