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

Volume 3, Orc Invasion Chapter 11: That Dazzling Light

The enemies around them were gradually approaching, their faces contorted with rage and blood, burning with the fury of revenge. Death, along with the roaring enemy troops, relentlessly pressed down on the two girls in the middle.

Just when he thought victory was assured, a long path appeared in the middle, and Nadakors arrived here as if he were a victor.

"Haha, I didn't expect to see you in such a sorry state when we meet again. I'll give you two choices: one is to watch me dismember your friend and then capture you alive; the other is to lay down your weapons, kneel before me, and beg me to let your friend go."

So, does she really think she's some ignorant young girl, kneeling and begging you to let Arya go? Even if I kneel down, you still won't let her go. The heroic spirit that beastmen should have is nowhere to be seen in this prince.

"What, do you think I'm not trustworthy? Our beastmen's reputation is very reliable."

Seeing that the other party still wouldn't take the bait and remained standing there motionless, Nadakors felt his patience gradually dwindling, even reaching a critical point.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Slash this human knight to death with a flurry of blows. Oh, no, I suddenly thought of a better idea. Wouldn't it be even more satisfying to gang rape this knight in front of her?"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xueyin slowly spoke, "Your Highness, do you know an ancient saying among humans?"

"Haha, an old saying? 'A wise man submits to circumstances.'" Hearing Lin Xueyin's words, which sounded like a plea for mercy, infuriated the beastman prince. He was determined to repay her tenfold for the humiliation he had suffered on the training ground.

However, upon hearing the other party's ancient saying, the initial excitement of avenging a great enemy turned ashen.

"Villains have always died from talking too much."

Such obvious words instantly enraged Nadakors. With a wave of his hand, he no longer cared about capturing her alive or not. He was now only thinking about one thing: to crush this woman who dared to tease him at this moment.

"Remember, priests may not be as good as others in combat, but I'm sorry, we have a greater role to play. May the Holy Light protect us, may the Holy Light be with us—Holy Restoration."

When Lin Xueyin's voice echoed across the entire battlefield, the orc warriors were shocked to see the human knights they had just slaughtered rise up again with their warhorses.

Similarly, the barbarians and vampires who appeared later were also shocked. They originally came here with the intention of taking advantage of the situation and killing the human warriors, but what they saw was the scene of the human warriors coming back to life.

Who can tell me what's going on? When did humans start having necromancers? No, necromancers only resurrect skeletons and zombies, how can they resurrect such agile warriors?

Especially when they saw the other party moving their limbs in surprise, picking up their greatsword again, mounting their warhorse, and charging towards them amidst the neighing of the horse.

This is no laughing matter. So, which deity caused this? Can't you be reasonable? Can't you have some common sense? The dead can come back to life; how are the living supposed to feel?

That's not all. The most important thing is why, after they are resurrected, they still have a golden egg on their bodies, making it very difficult for their weapons to break through this defense.

"Kill them all..."

Under the command of the general wielding a heavy sword, the human warriors once again embarked on their journey. One after another, bright silver figures surrounded by a holy light turned their horses around and charged back the way they had come.

At this moment, witnessing the large-scale resurrection of warriors and seeing the shields on their bodies, these orc warriors instantly lost a great deal of morale.

Nadakors watched with furious rage as his soldiers were slaughtered on the spot by these resurrected, seemingly divinely aided human warriors. He clenched his fists tightly and slammed them down at the culprit.

The iron fist clashed with the two-handed sword once more. Nadakors looked at his defeated opponent and said, "An ant dares to shake a tree?"

However, just as he was about to make a move, a slender hand calmly grasped his wrist, and Lin Xueyin, with a nonchalant smile, once again slammed him to the ground.

"Quickly rescue His Highness the Prince!"

When the orc warriors saw their prince being brutally beaten by the enemy like a sack of potatoes, they were afraid, but they still chose to charge forward to rescue their prince.

Of course, this was just their wishful thinking; Lin Xueyin showed them through her actions that it was absolutely impossible.

"Watch this, Blade Storm..."

Regardless of whether it was chuunibyou or not, Lin Xueyin spun around the completely bewildered Nadakors and charged into the enemy's ranks.

Considering the safety of their prince, the beastmen warriors were unable to attack with full force, which gave Lin Xueyin a sliver of an opportunity to break through.

Soon, the human knights rushed in and defeated all the orcs. Although she wanted to kill the prince, Lin Xueyin understood that at this moment, a living prince was much more valuable than a dead corpse.

As a knight brought an unmanned warhorse to the location, Arya leaped onto the horse and embraced Lin Xueyin. Nadakors, which she was carrying, could no longer be used due to the horse's condition. However, even a useless horse can be put to good use.

Lin Xueyin struggled to throw the prince away, and after the numerous orcs scrambled to protect him, the already chaotic formation became even more disorganized.

Ultimately, the human knights managed to break through the encirclement. Watching the warriors gradually disappear into the distance, the expressions of a vampire and a barbarian general grew increasingly serious.

"Can the mages of your vampire tribe resurrect the dead in this way, and I don't see any aftereffects? Do you know what kind of magic it is?"

"We've already looked into the human priests; they're incapable of this. How could the gods they worship risk offending the god of death to resurrect the dead? But what exactly is that little girl?"

"Indeed, to resurrect the dead without paying any price, when did the human race have such a profession? If it were to take shape, they would probably become invincible themselves. I don't think the demon race would ever see such a being among the human race."

Contrary to his rugged appearance, his sharp eyes revealed a calm analysis of the situation before him.

Volume 3, The Orc Invasion: Chapter 12 Marshal Lokaf

When all the knights returned to the camp, only one-tenth remained. The magnificent spectacle of thousands of horses galloping across the battlefield was unlikely to be repeated. On the other hand, the enemy, due to this ambush, was revealed to be a three-race alliance of orcs, vampires, and barbarians.

In terms of equipment, they also had some of the cavalry they lacked most, specifically cavalry riding Nightmare Horses. These mounts were not only fast runners but also had considerable combat capabilities, making them arguably even more ferocious than the orcs' wolf mounts.

As one side gains at the expense of the other, the vast plains in front of Sunset Pass have become the enemy's playground, while the human race can only passively retreat inside the pass, finding it difficult to organize a large-scale counterattack.

At this moment, in the commander's camp, a strong man sat imposingly in a chair, looking at the disheveled man in front of him, his cold eyes revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"Dres, is this all you came here to tell me? Crying and sobbing, showing your most pathetic side?"

"Marshal, I am incompetent. In the end, I led the entire cavalry force to its doom by the enemy's trickery. Please punish me."

The man called Dres was dejected, completely devoid of his former high spirits. The scene of his comrades being brutally murdered by those greenskins was like sharp blades constantly piercing his heart.

"I don't recall ever telling you to think about punishment first after failing."

"Marshal Lokav..."

Lokaf waved his hand to interrupt Prince Ikux as he was about to say something, and continued, "On the battlefield, victory and defeat are common occurrences. If you become so despondent after just one defeat, then you might as well commit suicide at the graves of your fallen comrades."

Seeing that Dresden was gradually regaining some of his energy, Lokaf nodded in satisfaction.

"Since we have lost, since our comrades have suffered unnecessary casualties, then we must shoulder their unfinished mission and continue to fight on this battlefield until we have completely atoned for our sins."

Similarly, when Prince Ikuks heard Marshal Lokav say this, he thought of some things he had heard before and looked at the seemingly rough and strong man with some worry.

"However, Your Highness, I am very interested in the girl mentioned in the previous battle report who can revive fallen soldiers. I wonder if you could introduce me to her?"

Seeing that his beloved general had regained his spirit and knew better what to do, Lokaf turned his attention to the news that excited him the most.

"Marshal, you mean Lin Xueyin, Baron Lin, right?"

Seeing the other party nod and look at him expectantly, Ikux also knew the enormous benefits that this news brought.

"I've already ordered her to come here, but I don't know if she can give us an even bigger surprise."

Having finished washing up, Lin Xueyin, who was waiting outside with Ailiya, finally heard the summons from inside. Although she had been to the imperial court, the military camp was a completely different place.

"If the imperial court is filled with intrigue and deceit, then the military camp is filled with the iron will of soldiers."

"Um, Your Highness, and the Marshal, hello."

Even Lin Xueyin, who could speak eloquently in the imperial court, felt slightly restrained here, especially under the gaze of these powerful figures, making her wonder what she had done wrong.

"Haha, I've heard that a beautiful pastor has come to our place. I never imagined she would be this beautiful. She's truly a sight to behold. If she were in the capital, I wonder how many noble young men would fight tooth and nail for her."

Seeing that Lin Xueyin was a little reserved, Marshal Lokav was the first to make a joke, which caused the surrounding commanders to burst into laughter, easing the somewhat awkward situation.

"Marshal, aren't you afraid of scaring Yukine away?" Aria seemed to know the marshal very well, and before he could continue speaking, she had already spoken up to help her friend out of the predicament.

"Alright, alright, just call me 'Uncle-Master' here. I'm not like your blockhead master." He looked at Ailiya with great affection, his face full of the love of an elder for a younger generation.

"Luckily you're alright. If something had really happened, I really wouldn't know how to explain it to your master."

"Uncle-Master, what's there to explain? Now that I've come here, I'm prepared to die for my country."

"Good, good, as expected of the disciple of the Silver Order, as expected of the successor of one of our Four Knights, very good. However, if you can live, why not keep your useful body? Don't you agree, little girl?"

Seeing Lin Xueyin making little movements behind Ailiya's back, her adorable appearance always made people want to pull her out and bully her a bit.

"Huh? Me? Well, on the battlefield, only those who are not afraid to die deserve to live, isn't that right?"

With a single sentence, Lin Xueyin was extricated from her predicament, and the surrounding generals began to look at her with new respect. Lokaf quietly observed the young girl.

"It is said that you spoke about the Empire's diplomacy during the court meeting. May I ask you about our current situation?"

"The situation? It's pretty good, why are you all so pessimistic?"

"Very good?" Lokaf looked at the girl with some surprise. Couldn't she see the current situation? Without the deterrent effect of the cavalry outside, the enemy could fully deploy their legions and launch a full-scale attack on our Sunset Pass. Yet she said the situation was good. It seemed that he had overestimated her.

Of course, unaware that her words had disappointed the marshal who controlled half of the empire's elite troops, Lin Xueyin continued.

"If we only look at Sunset Pass, we are indeed at a disadvantage. However, wars between nations are extensions of politics. Neither our Xima Empire nor the Demon Empire wants the Beastmen to occupy human territory, let alone the Dwarves and Winged Races."

Upon hearing this, Prince Ikux's eyes lit up, and he looked again at the girl who had given him advice earlier. As for Lokaf, he sat up straight, waiting for Lin Xueyin to continue.

"I think that if we do our best to resist the invasion of the beastmen, the demons will really just stand by and watch. I don't believe it. Rather than saying that the demons initially targeted the lizardmen, it's more accurate to say that the demons were deceiving everyone from the beginning. Their target has always been the demons."

Volume 3, The Beastman Invasion: Chapter Thirteen, The Undercurrents of the Demon Race

While Lin Xueyin was chatting with Lokaf and Ikux about the current situation in the camp, the demons were not idle either, with a large number of troops slowly making adjustments.

After learning that Lin Xueyin had appeared on the battlefield, preparations had already begun. Of course, news that Lin Xueyin was surrounded by the enemy and almost fell into the hands of the beastmen had not yet reached them. If it had, the situation would probably be quite different.

The girl, seated in the Demon King's exclusive seat, faced the envoy with an elegant posture. "You humans are very efficient. You've returned so quickly. What about my request?"

The envoy felt a strong sense of pressure from the confident demeanor of the man. As an envoy of a nation, he naturally possessed his own abilities, ensuring that he would not be at a disadvantage in negotiations between the two countries.

"Your Majesty, I have come here to uphold the diplomatic relations between our two nations. I hope you will listen to my explanation before making a decision."

He sneered and gestured for the other person to continue. "A great nation should naturally have the magnanimity of a great nation," he said. "That's what that little girl told me when she was telling me the story."

"The beastmen have invaded our borders without cause, and we are currently at a stalemate. This is a golden opportunity for the demons. I don't think His Majesty the Demon King would be so short-sighted, would he?"

"Haha, you mean you're taking advantage of the orcs' all-out attack on you to lead your army to attack the orc alliance? That's really laughable. Can't I send troops to attack your human race? I think that as long as we conquer the several dangerous passes in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, we can bring your human race under our control."

This remark elicited a loud laugh from the messenger: "Your Majesty, Demon King, please hear me out."

After calming down slightly, he organized his thoughts and continued, "Indeed, attacking us is an option. However, if you attack, we will defend with all our might. At the same time, the dwarves in the Ten Thousand Mountains will not stand idly by. I think that even if your troops conquer our empire, they will suffer heavy losses. At that time, when you fight the orcs, you will probably be outmatched."

A seductive smile curved her sensual lips as she gazed silently at the envoy. "I want to know, why wasn't my request fulfilled?"

"That's right. Baron Lin Xueyin was almost surrounded and killed by the orcs when she was entertaining the troops..."

A sudden surge of killing intent made the messenger swallow his remaining words, his body drenched in cold sweat. He was completely baffled as to why the demon king had suddenly unleashed such intense killing intent.

Although it was only a fleeting moment, as an envoy, I still needed to ponder it carefully. Could it be that she knew Baron Lin Xueyin?

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he dismissed it. A country girl and an empire ruler were not on the same level at all. There must be other issues involved. Thinking of the emperor's previous request to send the imperial princess to the Demon Empire as a hostage, he felt a bit troubled.

Putting aside what the people think, His Majesty the King alone would find it difficult to approve. Everyone knows that His Majesty's affection for the princess is beyond measure. He only mentioned it briefly when he returned home, and it was immediately rejected.

"Hmph, judging from your expression, I'm afraid you haven't agreed to my request for a hostage?"
