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

You keep saying how powerful your prince is, that he's surrounded us, but why don't you mention that your prince's fangs, a symbol of orcish honor, were broken by one of our little girls?

“Young lady, there are some things that should be said and some things that shouldn’t be said. I think you should understand that sometimes saying the wrong thing can bring disaster upon yourself.”

The sudden coldness made Lin Xueyin even more certain of her guess, but she didn't say anything more about it. Instead, she glanced at the beastman envoy with disdain.

"You're hilarious! You're allowed to do the first day of the month, but I can't do the fifteenth?"

"Hmph, little girl, I won't argue with you. I'll just ask you, do you have the guts to visit our beastman camp tomorrow?"

"Heh, why wouldn't I dare? If you dare to say it, I dare to do it. However, I'm afraid you won't dare to take me in." Ignoring Prince Ikux's obstruction, Lin Xueyin used equally provocative words to corner the other party.

"Don't wait for me to arrive. It's good that your camp gates are closed and you dare not accept me."

"Hmph, since you've accepted, I'll prepare wine and food at the camp and wait for you to arrive. Don't come in crying and begging for mercy on your knees for our prince."

Kux bowed to Lokaf and Ikux and turned to leave without any courtesy. However, those inside the barracks paid no attention to these details. Instead, they gave a stern warning to the girl who dared to agree to the enemy's request so casually.

"Lin Xueyin, whether you agree or not, I absolutely forbid you from going to the beastman camp tomorrow, do you hear me?"

A priest who can resurrect warriors is someone who cannot be easily released and must be protected with utmost care. Yet, she dared to casually accept the enemy's invitation to visit some orc camp. Wasn't she just asking for her own death?

"Your Highness, please let me finish."

"Fine, let's see what explanation you come up with. No matter what you say, you're not allowed to go."

Looking at Ikux, who was facing her seriously, and Marshal Lokaf, who was clearly suppressing his anger, Lin Xueyin slowly revealed her guess. Whether they listened or not was beyond her control.

Volume 3, Orc Invasion Chapter 16: All in the Plan

The Sunset Pass at night is devoid of the daytime hustle and bustle. Although the bright firelight illuminates the pass, it cannot ward off the silence of the night. The dark light swallows everything up.

At Sunset Pass, the patrolling soldiers vigilantly observed their surroundings, showing no sign of slackening despite the night. However, in this darkness, all they could see was a floating object on the sea.

Behind the light, in the darkness, one shadowy figure after another moved about, watching the patrolling soldiers with torches in the distance, dodging one magical search rune after another, and arriving at Sunset Pass.

One after another, hidden arrows ambushed and killed the soldiers on the pass, finally causing chaos inside the pass. At this moment, a series of huge roars rang out.

Outside Sunset Pass, the orc army had already appeared within the range of the defenders inside the pass. Leading the army was the orc prince, Nadakors, who calmly watched the chaos at Sunset Pass with a smug look on his face.

"Today, our orc army will conquer this impregnable pass and let the world know that we orcs are invincible."

"Roar, roar, roar."

"The Orcs will prevail! The Orcs will prevail!"

The two people standing side by side in the distance listened to the roars coming from the orc legion in the distance and let out a contemptuous chuckle.

"Listen to this, the orcs will surely win, how ridiculous. Our two tribes came here and were both driven back by them, completely ignoring our existence. They even said that after Sunset Pass is captured, they will not allow us to enter. This is too ugly."

"Haha, Isaac, I don't think you want to participate in this great battle either. After all, your master has never believed that the orcs can conquer this impregnable pass."

The man called Isaac had a pale, bloodless face, but his expression remained blank as he gazed indifferently at the distant orc army.

"Marshal Movar, I dare say that the moment they conquered Sunset Pass was the beginning of the annihilation of the Beastmen."

"That's an exaggeration. Apart from the demons, I doubt anyone could so easily claim to have wiped out the beastmen." Looking at the vampire marshal in surprise, he seemed to have heard something incredible from him. Could there be some powerful force in Sunset Pass that the beastmen couldn't afford to offend?

"You don't need to know too much, because the main reason we came here is to check on the situation at Sunset Pass and, incidentally, to find a pretext for how things will develop."

"Hahaha, it seems we've all thought of the same thing. We came here just to make an excuse and, incidentally, to watch the show and see how the beastmen conquered this formidable pass."

"Haha, we really have to wait and see."

The gaze shifts to the orc warriors before Sunset Pass. The soldiers in the front row, who are not wearing armor, bravely advance slowly towards Sunset Pass, holding a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, beginning their slow march towards the formidable pass.

"Lin Xueyin, you really thought I would wait for you to come as a guest? You were lying. Tonight's ambush will have you tied up and hung on the city wall, so you can spend the last day of your life in regret."

"Charge! Now's the time! Flatten Sunset Pass!"

"Hah, hah, hah." As the orcs' shouts grew more urgent, the strong, green-skinned warriors finally approached the city wall, only to suddenly see that the wall was brightly lit.

"Hahaha, we knew you would launch a sneak attack, so we naturally prepared a feast for you."

As they spoke, they saw that the city walls were already filled with mages. It turned out that the noise just now was the chanting of these mages. With their appearance, the ground began to soften, and fireballs began to bombard it. All kinds of AOE damage were sprayed onto the orcs who were stuck in the ground.

Not only that, the original plan was that after these elite soldiers opened the city gates, the Nightmare Knights and Wolf Riders would attack the pass together, so the distance between them was not as far as imagined.

Lokaf, standing atop the city wall, looked at the Nightmare Knights who were right behind him. Surprises always come so suddenly. He had been skeptical when Lin Xueyin said that, but he had only done it with a try-it-and-see attitude, and he had actually caught a big fish.

On the city wall, all the magic crystal cannons were pointed at the Nightmare Knight's location. Prince Ikux also noticed this good news and, in his excitement, immediately gave the order.

"Get them all out of here! I'm done! Blow those Nightmare Knights into the sky!"

The moment the sound faded, before it could be dispersed by the night wind, it was engulfed by a deafening roar. Various magical projectiles also engulfed the entire Nightmare Knights, taking their lives in a single instant.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Realizing he had fallen into a trap, Nadakors waved his command flag, but what was the point? Under the cover of night, the soldiers would hardly notice him.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as they were overwhelmed by human magic. Tens of thousands of elite warriors, thousands of Nightmare Cavalry and Wolf Riders were all annihilated in this sneak attack.

"Hahaha, Prince Nadakors, I knew you weren't capable of inviting me as a guest, but you didn't believe me."

"Lin Xueyin... how did you know I was going to launch a sneak attack tonight? How did you know?"

"Fool, we're tired of your little tricks, and you're the only one still gloating over it." From Sun Tzu's Art of War to the Thirty-Six Stratagems, from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so many classics—if I'm still fooled by these simple-minded orcs, I'll really have to commit seppuku to atone for my sins.

Of course, neither Lokaf nor Ikux knew what Lin Xueyin was thinking at this moment. On the contrary, they greatly admired her foresight and even highly affirmed her abilities.

"Lin Xueyin, you just wait and see, I'll make you pay for this."

"It's true, you prince, are you all talk and no action? Tell me, how many times have you said you'd make me pay? But I'm still fine, while you always end up losing. Don't you have any shame?"

"Lin Xueyin..." Nadakors glared angrily at the girl on the city wall, only to be met with cannon fire, which eventually forced the prince to retreat in disarray.

However, you need to be allowed to leave if you want to leave. At this moment, Marshal Lokaf could not suppress his restless desires. He donned his armor and led his personal guards and many knights toward the orc army, which was in chaos due to the retreat.

One side, demoralized, fled for thousands of miles; the other, with soaring morale, pursued and killed for thousands of miles. For a time, cries of agony filled the land, and blood flowed like rivers. Finally, the beastmen's army was driven back to their camp.

Volume 3, Orc Invasion: Chapter 17 The Attack from the Orc Prince

A whole day had passed since that night battle. Due to heavy losses and low morale, the orcs had once again given the humans a whole day to rest and recuperate.

Meanwhile, the orc troops that reappeared at Sunset Pass had recovered from their previous disarray. Moreover, they were no longer just an army of the orc tribe, but a combined force of the vampire and barbarian tribes.

The barbarian warriors, strong as small giants, wielded enormous spiked clubs. Their height alone was comparable to that of a mounted knight, and their powerful physiques gave them a natural sense of oppression on the battlefield.

"Xueyin, those are barbarians, and they are even more powerful alliance members than the beastmen. This time, we are probably going to have a big battle."

Looking out at the formidable northern barbarian soldiers below the city, Lin Xueyin showed no panic, but instead revealed a faint smile.

As the old Chinese saying goes, "How can one tolerate another's snoring beside one's bed?" It's hard to believe that the beastmen and barbarians, two races known for their physical prowess, could coexist peacefully.

Judging from their current sweet and affectionate behavior, they probably already dislike each other a lot. Allied forces, allied forces, if they are only superficially united, then they are nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs, a rabble.

Don't ask me how I know. Back then, when the six states united to attack Qin, and the eighteen princes fought against Dong Zhuo, weren't they all like this? Many people came, but they weren't united. Just like what Cao Cao said, "The army is united but not of one mind, hesitant and flying in formation like geese."

However, Nadakors didn't think that way at the moment. At least he now had a sense of confidence that he was in control. With the combined army of the three races pressing in, he absolutely did not believe that he would lose to the other side.

"Lin Xueyin, look at my army. One siege will crush you into dust. Let's see if you can still be so stubborn this time."

"Marshals, let's attack the city now."

As a prince of the beastmen, he knew that the two men in front of him would never hand over military power to him, but this did not hinder his siege strategy.

The vampires' unique magic and the barbarians' powerful physique are powerful weapons for sieges. Only by using them properly can Sunset City be successfully conquered. Unfortunately, I have never been able to fully understand them and have wasted so much time.

No wonder when his father came again, he hoped that he could promise those barbarians and vampires that after conquering Sunset Pass, the human race's land could be divided equally.

"All soldiers, listen to my command! We, the orcs, are the most powerful race. Even if we face the formidable Sunset Pass, known as the invincible fortress, we will crush it! For the honor of the orcs, for the glory of our warriors, kill them all!"

Looking at the slender figure on the city wall, Nadakors' face turned ferocious. He finally drew his sword and swung it down towards the distant pass. What followed was the swarming of the orc vanguard.

The long pass was divided into three parts by the Allied forces: one part for the vampires, one part for the barbarians, and one part for the beastmen. The vampires did not choose to charge, but instead used blood magic to launch a ranged attack on the human soldiers on the distant city wall.

The barbarians, however, were a different story. Even with a volley of arrows and a flurry of magical attacks, they could not be forced to retreat a single step, slowly advancing towards the city gate. Although their pace was slow, their overall speed did not decrease in the slightest.

The orcs, however, were much more orderly than the siege attackers. Their axe-shield soldiers used their shields to block the enemy's ranged attacks and quickly marched towards the city walls, with huge catapults following behind them.

One magical missile after another was placed on the catapult and hurled fiercely at the formidable pass. The magical missiles ignited with crimson flames in mid-air, like a giant meteor shower, before crashing heavily onto the city wall.

Seeing that the catapults had already achieved their goal, Nadakors signaled again to increase their use. However, the second attack was less than satisfactory. At least, in the chaos following the first attack, the enemy quickly organized their mages and used magical barriers to keep the magical missiles outside the city walls.

However, the first attack alone had already caused cracks to appear on the city wall, and with the continuous bombardment of those magical missiles, it was only a matter of time before the shield on the city wall was broken.

Nadakors understood his current advantage and continued to order his axe-shield soldiers to attack the city walls. Then, the orc javelin throwers also arrived near the city walls under the cover of the axe-shield soldiers.

Thousands of spears were fired at the human warriors defending the city wall, and amidst screams, the warriors fell one after another from the city wall.

Seeing his troops achieve another victory, Nadakors calmly continued to issue orders. This time, he was determined not to let that little girl escape at the last moment, as he had done before.

He was determined to capture her alive, to make her know the consequences of offending him, and to let her die with regret and resentment.

"Kill them all! Slaughter all those human soldiers! I want to make Sunset Pass a place that terrifies humans, so they'll know that we orcs can never be insulted."

Hearing Nadakors' voice from afar, the vampire marshal shrugged helplessly and turned his gaze to the girl standing on the city wall, constantly healing the human soldiers. Although he could only make out her vaguely, he still ordered his mages to avoid that area and try not to launch an attack there.

Meanwhile, the barbarians were desperately trying to ram the sturdy city gate with their bodies, and each impact caused the gate to shake violently.

Arrows rained down from the city walls, while various magical projectiles and area-of-effect attacks continuously pelted the barbarians.

With howls echoing one after another, the barbarian soldiers were finally forced to retreat to safety, while the orcs took advantage of the opportunity to occupy the city wall that the barbarians were originally supposed to attack.

Although unwilling to let the barbarians withdraw from the battle, Nadakors, whose eyes were already blinded by rage, could not allow any mistakes to occur in his siege, even though he was able to calmly command the battle.

Seeing this, the vampires also chose not to advance and continued to suppress the humans from a distance. This gave Nadakors an opportunity. As long as he could suppress the humans' ranged attacks, his orc army could successfully climb the city walls. At that time, the humans would be lambs to the slaughter, and he could play with them at will.

Volume 3, Orc Invasion: Chapter 18, Guarding the Pass

Lokaf wiped the blood splattered on his face after he had slashed down an orc warrior with his sword. His ferocious expression sent chills down the spines of the orcs around him.

"You orc scum, I'll chop you all down!"

In his valiant fight, he slashed and hacked with his longsword, knocking another orc warrior off the city wall. "For the glory of humanity, for Xima!"

"Drink it..."

Upon witnessing the Marshal's furious roar, the human warriors were filled with renewed vigor and clashed fiercely with the orc army.

However, the orcs were physically much stronger than the humans, and the barbarians gradually climbed the city walls, which dealt another blow to the morale of the humans that had just risen.

A warrior saw himself pierced through the chest by a sword, spitting blood, yet he still swung his sword to kill the enemy. Just as he saw the enemy killed by his own thrust and was preparing to face death with a smile, a golden light fell from the sky.

She instantly revived and fully healed on the spot. A young girl, holding a spear in one hand and radiating holy golden light in the other, stood on the battlefield, a knight in armor protecting her closely behind her.
