He still had some self-awareness. He had strongly advocated for an alliance with the orcs, which would have allowed the war to break out on orc territory, while the humans, as the rear guard, could advance or retreat as needed. However, the demons did not play by the rules and instead launched a large-scale attack on the lizardmen.
Lizardmen, huh? When I first transmigrated, I encountered some lizardmen. They were the kind of people who would attack without saying a word the moment they met.
That's right, it was they who were making lunch and, upon seeing me, cheered and planned to tie me up and sell me as a commodity to some nobles of the demon race.
You should know that in the eyes of those demon nobles, human beauties are second only to elven beauties and can fetch a high price. Of course, I heard this from them when I was being chased.
Just when he was backed into a corner, Nana descended from the sky, killed all the lizardmen, and rescued him from their clutches.
It was from her that I learned that most of the lizardmen were bandits who had wandered off the streets, first-rate thieves, and even had no bottom line when it came to doing things. Of course, she also took me into the cabin where we later lived together.
Speaking of the cabin, it was with Nana's company there that he gradually overcame his fear of the unknown world. However, overnight, everything changed. Nana disappeared without a trace, and he waited for several days without her returning.
Worried, he had no choice but to come out of the cabin and search around the vast mountains, where he encountered Aria, who was on a mission outside.
However, even though he had been in Tianlu Academy for quite some time, he still hadn't found any clues. He still had no idea where Nana was.
Seeing Lin Xueyin with her head down, deep in thought, Irabel suddenly had a premonition that she would disappear before her eyes, so she quickly waved her hand in front of her to bring her thoughts back.
"Yukine, what are you thinking about? I've been calling you for ages and you haven't answered."
"Oh, I haven't told you yet. I came here firstly to learn about the outside world, and secondly to find my good friend Nana. She suddenly left without saying goodbye, and I'm worried she might be in danger... Um, Irabel, you don't look well. Are you sick?"
Seeing that Irabel's expression grew increasingly grim the more she spoke, Lin Xueyin wondered if she had said something wrong.
"Never mind, have you found your friend?"
Seeing Lin Xueyin shake her head in distress, Irabel suddenly felt a sense of relief. Perhaps she and that woman named Nana were just good friends. Besides, if Nana had deep feelings for Xueyin, she wouldn't have left without saying goodbye. It seemed that she had been worrying unnecessarily.
"Let me help you find your friend. What are her characteristics?"
No, I'll look for it myself. Although she didn't understand why, Lin Xueyin still felt that something terrible would happen if she let the two of them meet.
"Okay, fine, once I find it, I'll go take a look too. Don't shake your head at me. Can't your friend be my friend too?"
Well, you've put it this way, how am I supposed to respond? Helpless, Lin Xueyin could only nod. After all, she also really wanted to open her own Crystal Palace. Isn't the title of princess something you only see in novels, where the protagonist is one of the members of their harem?
"Irabelle, I want to leave here first. Um, what are you doing...?"
Before she could finish speaking, the other person stretched out their arms and wrapped them between the chair and her, looking at her with surprise as the other person stared intently at her.
"Lin Xueyin, you want to leave?"
She wanted to say yes, but seeing that her usually cool and aloof expression had been completely replaced by rage, Lin Xueyin couldn't bring herself to say it.
Tell me, why are you leaving?
“Well, Irabel, I just felt that since it was my suggestion before, now that the Orcs have started a war, I wanted to go to the battlefield first. After all, priests can be very useful on the battlefield.”
Lin Xueyin silently gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness. Of course, seeing Irabel's still indifferent pretty face, she knew that the other party did not believe what she had just said at all.
He stared intently at the woman. "You don't need to go. My brother will lead the Imperial Guard to Sunset Pass, so you don't need to go. It's too dangerous there."
“Irabel, I think many people in the council are already planning to punish me severely, and some even say I am a beastman spy.”
Although her tone was calm, Irabel could still see the resentment in Lin Xueyin's heart. She placed her hand on Lin Xueyin's head and sighed softly.
"Xueyin, with me here, you don't need to think so much."
“Forget it, Irabel, I want to go. I think Aria will go too. I’ll worry about her too. Besides, your brother is going too. If I’m on the battlefield, it’ll be a safeguard for them, won’t it?”
"You little brat, do you really think you're some kind of holy priest? Fine, I promise you, but you have to promise me you can't go to the battlefield, you can only heal from the back."
"Yes, thank you, Irabelle. I promise nothing will happen."
Volume Two, Academy Chapter: Chapter Forty-Six - Imminent Departure
How should I put it? It has to be said that Irabel's ability to act was too strong. The day after Lin Xueyin said she wanted to join the army, someone had already told her that her path to joining the army was completely blocked.
Anyone with half a brain knows that this was one of the few times the princess acted willfully, and she wanted to make her stay here quietly and obediently, all under the pretense of being worried about her safety.
Ignoring the people outside trying to stop him, he forcefully pushed open the door to the princess's bedroom. Looking at the pretty but expressionless girl inside who showed no suspicion about his arrival, he shouted out his greatest dissatisfaction.
“Irabelle, what are you doing? I’ve already told you, I’m going to the front lines. They need us priests there.”
"Yes, but I don't want you to go because of those rumors. You can go to many places, why do you have to go to the front line, to Sunset Pass? You don't know how dangerous the situation is there."
After a moment of silence, Irabel continued, "I know you convinced me yesterday, but when I came back and heard my brother's explanation of the front lines, I realized how dangerous it is there. I don't want you to go, I don't want my only friend to go there."
In short, Lin Xueyin was at a loss for words. It seemed to be the first time she had ever seen the princess of the empire show such a sad expression, making her feel as if she had done something wrong.
“Irabell, you know how tense the front lines are, so you can’t stop me from going. Your brother, Prince Ikux, will also be going, and Aria will probably go too. They will all be in danger. If I go, perhaps I can protect them.”
"But...."
“Irabel, you are a princess of the empire. You should know the saying that every citizen has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation. Are we supposed to just watch those soldiers on the battlefield sacrifice themselves in vain when we clearly have the ability to do so? I am a priest, and I can save them.”
Thinking of how Lin Xueyin had healed that injured student, Irabel fell silent. A priest who could heal external wounds was already very important on the battlefield, but a priest like Lin Xueyin, who could regenerate severed limbs, was even more strategically significant.
"But....."
"Okay, if they think my abilities are important, they'll definitely protect me. Don't worry, I'll be fine there."
Seeing that Irabelle still looked unwilling, Lin Xueyin gently placed her hand on Irabelle's chest, feeling the softness there, and then said.
“Your Highness, this is a time of life and death for the empire. Naturally, we need to send all available people to the front lines. Are we going to wait until they capture Sunset Pass before we go up? It would probably be even more dangerous then.”
"Fine, I'm not going to bother with you anymore. But Lin Xueyin, if you dare to get hurt, don't blame me for keeping you tied to my side from now on and never letting you run around."
Hearing that the other party had finally relented, Lin Xueyin scratched her long golden hair and let out a long sigh of relief. Although she was supposed to be going to the front line, her main hope was to take this opportunity to leave the capital.
Since there have been no leads in the capital, I will naturally try my luck elsewhere. Perhaps Nana is in another territory. So much time has passed; I wonder where she is now.
Little did she know, at that moment, the woman she couldn't forget was listening to her subordinate's report, her slender fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the chair, her long legs elegantly crossed.
"So, you've successfully made it so that girl couldn't stay in the capital?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the messages we spread have already made that woman sob..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was struck by a crimson light, losing all her teeth and her previous elegance. The woman who did this coldly looked at her subordinate.
"That's what you call her?"
Looking at his colleague with pity, he felt deep sympathy for his reckless behavior. "You know perfectly well how much that girl named Lin Xueyin holds in your master's heart. How can you speak so casually?"
"Hmph, I don't know what kind of existence she is in your eyes, but if you dare to disrespect her, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I don't think Lord Kurmo meant it that way. I hope Your Majesty can forgive him."
Seeing her subordinate covering his mouth, bleeding profusely, the woman, though still furious, waved her hand, signaling the others to continue.
"Your Majesty, just as you predicted, after our army turned to attack the Lizardmen, the Orcs did indeed turn to attack the Humans. This not only broke the alliance between the two sides, but also caused both sides to deplete their national strength. If we can quickly conquer the Lizardmen and then turn to attack the Orcs who are still fighting on the front lines, even if we cannot wipe out the Orcs, we can still bring a large area of territory to our side."
"Hmph, what's this all about..."
The words had barely left his mouth when he saw one of his intelligence agents whisper something in their leader's ear, causing him to frown deeply.
"what happened?"
One sentence was enough to make the head of the military intelligence department explode. His colleague had just said something unpleasant and had been beaten until his mouth was full of blood. If this news got out, wouldn't he be torn apart by five horses?
"Speak quickly! Stop stammering. What happened? Is there a problem with our army attacking the lizardmen?"
"No, there's no army. The lizard tribe chief has already sent a peace envoy here, but..."
"Just what? Explain yourself."
Seeing the rage filling his emperor's crimson eyes, the intelligence officer disregarded all sense of bloodshed and knelt down to beg for surrender.
"It's Miss Lin Xueyin. We've received information that she's been identified as one of the priests who will be providing support to Sunset Pass this time."
"What did you say? That girl is going to the front lines?"
A powerful surge of magic erupted behind her, shattering the chair she had been sitting in. This unexpected news turned all of the woman's previous plans into a joke.
"Damn it, why did she go to the battlefield? She's clearly a coward who's afraid of dying."
Thinking back to when I rescued her from the lizardmen, how she trembled in my arms like a kitten, I felt a pang of heartache.
What's done is done, and all we can do is figure out how to resolve it. With a headache, the woman told everyone to leave first and turned her gaze to the window, where the human race's Xima Empire was located.
Today is Singles' Day! My wife and I went out to eat. Hmmmm, hehehe, you guys read your novels.
Why is the author so mean? So mean, so mean! Hit me! Hit me! But you can't hit me, you just can't hit me.
Volume 3: The Orcish Invasion - Chapter 1: The Expedition
Without Irabel's obstruction, Lin Xueyin, as a priest, was quickly assigned to the logistics battalion of the Imperial Guard, and was even placed closest to the cookhouse. It is estimated that this was because Irabel spoke to her brother, who was worried that she was not eating well, so he arranged for her to be near the cookhouse.
After learning about these circumstances, well, Lin Xueyin was quite grateful to Irabelle. Since she could enjoy herself, why should she suffer?
Long marches are inherently a painful experience for me. Not modifying my stamina was my biggest mistake. But who could have imagined that I would transmigrate? With maximum stamina, maximum magic power, and the strongest attributes, what use is stamina?
Although it won't lead to complete defeat with a single misstep, a long march will still take its toll. Of course, some might say that there are horse-drawn carriages or something, but how could there possibly be so many horse-drawn carriages for a military campaign?
As priests and mages, they do indeed receive this treatment; however, there aren't enough cars, so they have to take turns getting on and resting.
"Xueyin, how are you? Are you tired?"
Riding on the same horse as Ailiya, Lin Xueyin, nestled in her arms, also looked exhausted. The long march had taken a toll on the girl, whose stamina was very low, and the fact that she was in a tent meant that she was having very poor sleep at night.
"It's okay, just a little sleepy."
After letting out a big yawn, Lin Xueyin snuggled into Ailiya's arms, then patted the plate armor on Ailiya's chest with a disgruntled thud.
"It's too hard here. We're still marching. Can't you just not wear armor?"
Lin Xueyin's coquettish tone made him laugh out loud. "Silly girl, even when we're on a march, we have to be prepared for a sneak attack. Who knows if we'll be ambushed?"
"Huh? They can still be ambushed? Didn't they say the orcs couldn't enter the empire's territory?"
Her panicked little face looked around anxiously, but Aria amusedly turned her back to her.
"Who told you it was for defense against orcs? Have you forgotten those thieves from before?"
Staring at Ailiya in horror, Lin Xueyin found her words hard to believe. "You...you think those thieves would dare to come here and rob the army?"
A sentence left Aria speechless. Should she tell the little girl that it was standard practice for soldiers to wear armor to protect themselves from ambushes? She figured the little girl wouldn't understand anyway.
Realizing she had just been a bit unreasonable, Lin Xueyin could only stick out her tongue and shift her attention to the long line of soldiers behind her. The endless rows of heads were slowly moving forward. Although she couldn't see their expressions, Lin Xueyin could still guess at their solemnity.
The future is uncertain, the battlefield is filled with the clash of swords, and who knows if there will be a tomorrow once we get to the battlefield? Nobody knows.
Thinking of this, for some reason, she suddenly gripped the delicate hand holding the reins tightly, and Aria could feel the tension in her heart.
