"Of course, I will prove with my abilities what you promised me before, that I can do it, and that I can continue to cooperate with you."
The Barbarian King understood, of course, that as long as there was any use to him, he and the demons could continue to cooperate. But this C'Thun was already a loser; what ability did he have to continue cooperating with him and the demons?
Having realized that he was to be abandoned, C'Sullivan seemed to have thought of something. "I haven't failed yet, Barbarian King. I told you, I still have territory, I still have troops. Have you forgotten?"
"Are you referring to your territory and those soldiers on the border with our barbarians? But do you dare to split the beastmen at this time?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Why wouldn't I dare? I'm about to die, why can't I split the beastmen apart... Take me away, I will continue my rule there."
"You unfilial son."
When the Beast King heard that his son was planning to use the territory he had given him to divide the beast race, this was definitely not what he wanted to see.
"It doesn't seem like it's impossible, so there's no need for you to be in such a hurry to kill him."
The slender, short dagger easily deflected the opponent's powerful axe blade, effortlessly neutralizing the Beast King's attack.
"Time is running out, I should go. The future of the beastmen is truly something to look forward to."
"who are you?"
Lin Xueyin frowned deeply. Faced with the Beast King's attack, the opponent was able to defuse it so easily, as if it were effortless. This made Lin Xueyin even more suspicious of the opponent's identity.
Nadakors gripped his longsword tightly, about to strike, but was stopped by the Beast King. He looked at his father with some suspicion, only to find that his arms and hands were trembling. Had the attack that had just knocked him back caused him to temporarily lose control of his arms?
"You're not just a simple assassin, you're not...
Suddenly, Lin Xueyin thought of the assassin she had met in the human race before, the assassin who killed Lofiers. This person really looked like him.
"It's you... the assassin who tried to kill Grand Duke Lofiers."
"I never expected that Pastor Lin would remember me; it is truly an honor for me."
Upon hearing the other party's direct admission, a fierce fighting spirit erupted from her beautiful azure eyes.
"You got away last time, but I definitely won't let you get away this time."
A one-handed hammer that Nadakors had never seen before slowly appeared in front of Lin Xueyin from a ripple. Her fair and delicate hand gently grasped the hammer, and a strong aura suddenly emanated from the girl.
"This time, I'll see how you run."
Although Lin Xueyin couldn't see the mysterious assassin's expression, she could still detect a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Since you want to fight me, I think that lord will definitely not blame me. However, I hope you won't die by my hand."
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from everyone's sight. Faced with the enemy's disappearance, Lin Xueyin was not flustered at all. It was just like a PVP in a game. The thief's invisibility, sneak attack, and sap were all commonplace for the priest.
"Holy Nova..."
Instantly, a powerful divine energy erupted from Lin Xueyin's body, forcing the mysterious assassin who had been stealthily approaching to be repelled by this intense divine energy.
The hands holding the dagger were now showing faint burning marks, clearly burned by this sacred energy.
"You are a demon. As expected, you are indeed a member of the demon race." Seeing the other party burned by her holy energy, Lin Xueyin was certain that this assassin was definitely from the demon race.
A glance at the wounds on his hands revealed a murderous glint in Elisil's eyes. This woman was indeed the nemesis of the demon race; he absolutely could not let her see His Majesty alive.
"Remember, the person who killed you was named Elisil."
As soon as she finished speaking, Elisil's attack surged forth like waves in the ocean. Lin Xueyin was equally unyielding, instantly casting a purification spell on him, causing him to momentarily lag.
However, this attack had no effect. Ailisil merely let out a cold groan, and his figure split into five parts as if he were a clone, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
The warhammer swept across, and dazzling sparks appeared out of thin air. A figure flashed and disappeared, but Lin Xueyin didn't have time to search for the afterimage's movements again. She turned around, and with her bare hand, a holy light shield appeared between the person and the sword.
Five figures continuously unleashed powerful attacks around Lin Xueyin, sparks flying and blades flashing. The besieged girl remained calm and composed, her hammer shadows forming a curtain and her shield transforming into a wall, turning all the attacks, which resembled a raging storm or a raging torrent, into nothingness.
Nadakors, who had fought Lin Xueyin before, suddenly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, she had shown some restraint back then. If she had fought him with that level of strength, he probably wouldn't be alive now.
Suddenly, I remembered the orders I had given before. Although I didn't know why they weren't carried out, I was glad I hadn't done them, otherwise I would have been beaten to a pulp.
As for Nakux on the other side, he was even more horrified. He had just had a conflict with her recently. If she had used such an attack back then, he might not have needed to fake his death; he would have really died.
As for Cthulhu, it was even more unbearable. He absolutely couldn't believe that this woman could fight that powerful demon assassin to a draw—no, perhaps she even had the upper hand. How could this be? How could this be?
As for Kaliel and Kashael, although they were a little surprised that their sister Yukine had suddenly unleashed such powerful combat strength, for them, anything was normal when it came to Yukine.
With difficulty, Aria was helped up by several resurrected guards. Leaning against the wall, she sat on the ground and looked at the girl fighting the enemy in front of her. She couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In the end, the gap between us is still so vast. I've always wanted to protect you, but every time, it's you who protects me. How can I accept this?

Volume 7 The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter 43 The Split Orcs
"Misfortune will befall you."
A chilling voice instantly made Lin Xueyin feel a terrifying atmosphere descend from the sky. Five cold lights shot out, but in that instant, they suddenly condensed into a fierce sword aura, rushing straight towards the weakest point of the shield in front of Lin Xueyin.
In an instant, the golden light shattered, the sword energy dissipated, and both of them seemed to be repelled by something, moving backward to eliminate the impact imposed on each other.
Lin Xueyin's eyes were cold, and her slightly parted lips exhaled a faint breath, which was already somewhat rapid. The battle just now had exhausted most of the girl's already limited physical strength.
Prolonged combat remains extremely difficult for her. Perhaps she overestimated herself. Although the Discipline Priest skills are more powerful than the Holy skills, this is not her strongest state. Unfortunately, the final Shadow Form cannot be unsealed, leaving Lin Xueyin with the level but no corresponding ability to quickly defeat this opponent.
"Sister Xueyin..."
Kalier seemed to have noticed that Lin Xueyin's strength was gradually being exhausted, and called out in concern. But she saw Lin Xueyin slightly raise her hand, her eyes fixed on the man.
"Little girl, although I really want to kill you, now is not the time. I don't want to really clash with that person, so I'll save your life for when I come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elisil instantly teleported to the side of C'Sullivan, who was already looking excited.
"Keep going. Just hold on a little longer and you can kill that damned human priest. Then all the orcs will be ours."
He gave a cold laugh. Kill her? I would like to use your hand to kill her. When it comes time to slaughter the orcs, I will definitely be at the forefront. Unfortunately, it's not the right time for me to kill her myself.
He coldly swept his gaze over the others who were about to rush forward, and for a moment, everyone was intimidated by his icy look and dared not take another step.
Lin Xueyin gripped the one-handed hammer tightly, about to unleash another powerful beam of holy light, but before she could even make a move, the other party had already grabbed Cthulhu and sped away outside.
Seeing this, the barbarian king did not hesitate at all. His huge and strong body leaped high into the air and crashed heavily into the roof of the palace, creating a large hole. After a few leaps, he disappeared into the sky in an instant.
"Damn it, they got away! Chase them..."
Beast King Oskell watched as the enemy fled without hesitation, his face darkening. The actions of this group were completely beyond his imagination. Helpless, he could only order his soldiers to search the entire city.
Lin Xueyin watched the enemy's hurried departure, and although she frowned, she didn't say another word. She just rushed to Ailiya's side, who was slumped on the ground.
Are you alright?
"It's alright, don't worry about me. You should hurry up and chase after them."
"Them? I don't need to chase them. The Beast King and the others will naturally give chase with all their might."
Gently shaking her head, Lin Xueyin focused her attention on Ailiya, raising her hand and casting a holy beam of light upon the severely injured girl.
"Yukine, I..."
"Don't talk, just heal quietly."
A bead of sweat glistened on her serious and focused face. The intense battle just now, coupled with her current all-out rescue efforts, had left Lin Xueyin feeling utterly exhausted.
"I never imagined that so many things would happen after I came to the Beastmen's territory..."
"Yes, I always thought that infighting was a specialty of our human race. I never imagined that these orcs would also have such a brutal civil war."
Lin Xueyin looked at the tragic scene before her with a gentle gaze. She never expected that the orcs, whom she thought were bold and incapable of any scheming, would actually experience such a split.
Indeed, power stirs the heart. No matter what race, no one can escape the curse of this desire. The human heart is truly the most difficult thing to understand.
"Sister Xueyin, are you alright?"
Seeing that Lin Xueyin, who had healed Aria's serious injuries, was swaying slightly, the Kalier sisters knew perfectly well that Lin Xueyin was already somewhat exhausted.
He quickly came to her side, wanting to help her up, but unexpectedly, Aria had already stood up and quickly hugged the girl tightly in her arms.
With a hint of displeasure and a touch of heartache, Aria looked sternly at the somewhat exhausted girl, her brows furrowed tightly, and she lightly flicked her finger across the girl's smooth forehead, which was dotted with beads of sweat.
"You little brat, you just know how to show off. My injury isn't that urgent. Why don't you rest a bit before treating me?"
Although she was scolded, Lin Xueyin could still hear the worry in the other person's tone, which made the girl playfully stick out her small, lilac-like tongue.
A delicate, adorable tongue peeked between her warm lips, exuding an unusual allure that left Aria momentarily stunned, her eyes completely captivated by the beautiful sight.
"Sister Ailiya, what are you looking at? Why don't you take Sister Xueyin back to rest?"
Seeing that the other person was just staring blankly at Lin Xueyin without taking her to rest, Kalier glared at the woman who was daydreaming at this moment with some dissatisfaction. She really didn't know what it meant to prioritize.
Disturbed by Kaliel, Aria, under Lin Xueyin's coquettish scolding, ignored her refusal and carried the girl in her arms like a princess. With the light and soft body in her arms, Aria quickly headed towards the mansion.
"Um, Arya, you don't need to do that. I can walk by myself..."
Although Lin Xueyin kept trying to refuse the other party's actions with words, she couldn't help but grab the other party's collar tightly and bury her head in the other party's soft embrace as Ailiya rushed over.
For a moment, a feeling of shame or secret joy began to grow in the girl's heart.
Meanwhile, the mysterious assassin Erisil had already pulled C'Shus through the orcs' layers of defenses and quickly rushed out of the orcs' royal tent.
Even the Beast King, upon seeing this incredibly powerful demon assassin, was filled with helplessness. The fact that the opponent was able to escape with Cthulhu despite being surrounded by two Saint-level opponents was beyond his imagination.
As for the barbarian king, although he was slightly injured, he managed to escape the royal tent. The cold gaze fixed on the tent suggested that things were not over so easily.
Volume VII The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter Forty-Four The Division of the North
The Beast King looked down at the human girl who had healed him and recalled her heroic figure when she fought alongside the demon assassin, Elisil. Although no one was victorious in the end, everyone had witnessed their evenly matched strength at the beginning.
Later, several Saint-level experts tried to stop her, but all their efforts were in vain. It is conceivable how much energy this little girl possessed in her small figure.
"Pastor Lin, let's sign the covenant now..."
"It's terrible! It's terrible! Your Majesty, the vampire army has shown unusual activity and is heading towards our city of Mla..."
Beast King Oskell had just sat on his throne, hoping to sign an alliance with Lin Xueyin as soon as possible, when he was interrupted by his messenger. The flustered voice made all the surrounding beast nobles feel uneasy.
Sure enough, the news that came from his mouth made many of the beastmen feel that something was very wrong. However, as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. If it were only the vampires, it would be better, but what followed was the news that the barbarians had also mobilized their entire army and were marching towards the beastmen.
"Damn it, how could our Northern Alliance collapse like this in an instant? What are they thinking? Don't they know what's going on?"
If it were barbarians, Oscreel could understand it, since they had already pledged allegiance to the demons. But what about the vampires? They clearly didn't make any moves throughout the entire process, so why would they send troops to attack him?
At this moment, Oskel realized that the only ally he could find might be the human race, represented by Lin Xueyin. If he could sign an alliance with the human race, he would still have a chance to withstand the enemy's attack.
"Pastor Lin, we will give all the territory around Black Fox Pass to your Sima Empire. We only hope that you can send troops as soon as possible to help us resist the attacks of the vampires and barbarians."
