Similarly, around him, golden light flashed again and again, and the wounded warriors who were preparing to face death, just like him, stood up again and returned to the battlefield.

The unusual situation on the battlefield also caught the attention of some of the beastmen leaders on the city walls. They quickly found the root of the problem: a powerful barbarian warrior wielding a huge spiked club charged straight at Lin Xueyin's location.

Under the full force of the attack, a figure darted past, nimbly landing on the attacker's shoulder as the enemy continued their assault. The spear in the attacker's hand plunged deep into the enemy's head, and with a painful howl, the enemy fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Can't you be more careful? You keep doing this, it's making us very worried."

Arya, who frantically caught the girl who jumped off the enemy and then threw herself back into the battlefield, glared at Lin Xueyin with displeasure. Really, didn't she know that what she had just done was very worrying?

"I know, I won't do it again next time, okay?" As he spoke, he nimbly leaped onto a barbarian warrior again, his spear piercing the enemy's brain once more. After dodging the enemy's slashes, he casually gave the surrounding warriors a group heal, and then swung his spear to pierce the enemy's chest.

A series of fluid movements left Aria speechless. This was really a priest, especially after she punched down an orc warrior who had ambushed her. This suspicion only intensified in her mind.

"Watch out..." Arya quickly moved behind Lin Xueyin, shield in both hands, separating her from an orc commander who was leaping down to attack.

"Drink it."

"Aria, are you alright?" Seeing that Aria had been struck by an axe while protecting her and that blood was trickling from her mouth, Lin Xueyin glared angrily at the orc. He had actually injured her friend; he was courting death.

"Yukine, please don't..."

The girl rushed forward in a moment of impulsiveness, and Aria couldn't hold her back at all. Her spear scattered cold light in the air, transforming into pear blossoms that enveloped the enemy completely.

In just a moment, the beastman commander was covered in blood from the girl's attack. His personal guards rushed over and managed to save his life. With no other choice, they had to retreat to the city walls for the time being.

However, with such a high city wall, it's astonishing that they didn't die after jumping down. If this were a novel, these beastmen would probably be the main characters. It's truly terrifying.

Suddenly, Lin Xueyin shuddered, as if various hentai anime series had flashed through her mind. She only snapped back to reality after Ailiya exclaimed in surprise.

On the battlefield, being distracted is very dangerous. If it weren't for Aria, Lin Xueyin would probably have been riddled with holes. Of course, once the girl regained her senses, she once again used her priestly abilities, and the battlefield restoration ability greatly extended the fighting life of the human warriors.

At this moment, Lin Xueyin also saw that Prince Ikux's magic crystal cannon force encountered a group of vampire warriors during their retreat, and suffered heavy casualties in just one encounter.

"Your Highness, please be careful, we're coming right now."

Lin Xueyin shouted and leaped down from the city wall, thrusting her spear straight at Ikux, who was about to swing his sword at him as he fell down the stairs.

The sound of metal piercing flesh rang out, finally allowing Ikux to see the pretty blonde girl with a ponytail in front of him, gleaming in the sunlight.

A holy light seemed to have enveloped her entire body. With a long spear in hand, she drove away all the enemies like a Valkyrie before turning around and gently raising his injured arm.

"Just bear with it, it'll be over soon."

The holy light slowly covered the wound on the arm, absorbing the blood aura unique to vampires that clung to it, thus healing the wound.

Lin Xueyin quickly finished treating all the wounds on her arm, clapped her hands, stood up, and gave a gentle smile to Ikus, who was looking at her strangely.

"Healed, Your Highness. Please retreat for now. The orcs on the city walls have been mostly driven away."

Looking at the city wall not far away, where the orcs had been forced into a corner, Lin Xueyin knew that the enemy's attack had ended here and there would be no more problems.

However, if the enemy seizes the opportunity to injure the prince at this time, it could easily lead to even bigger problems. Therefore, in order to prevent such an incident from happening, Lin Xueyin still hopes that he can stay behind for the time being.

Of course, she also had her own selfish motives. After all, he was Irabel's brother, and she had to protect him. If something happened to him, how could she continue pursuing Irabel?

Unaware that the girl in front of him had already set her sights on his younger sister, Ikux looked in the direction she was pointing and wanted to object, but after seeing her determined little face, he nodded as if possessed, and then led his men to the back.

Watching their departing figures, Lin Xueyin tossed a golden ball of light into her hand, which burst forth with holy light in mid-air, covering the entire Sunset Pass. Within this light, all the human wounded, regardless of their severity, began to slowly recover.

The orcs, however, were not so lucky. Despite the humans' valiant counterattack, their efforts were in vain. Nadakors, seeing his hard-won ascent of the city wall being successfully overtaken by the enemy once again, turned and left in resentment.

As night gradually fell, tranquility returned to this bloody war. Beneath the gentle breeze, the spirits of the fallen warriors lingered. Neither good nor evil, right nor wrong, each stood under their own righteous cause, with only the deceased becoming the victims of that cause.

Volume 3, Orc Invasion: Chapter 19 Reinforcements

After repelling the orcish attack once again, Lin Xueyin slumped on the city wall, the blood on her face already congealed. She leaned softly against Ailiya's shoulder, her small mouth exhaling a fragrant breath.

"Aria, when will this ever end?"

Prolonged battles not only wear down a person's physical strength, but also their spirit and willpower. When a comrade who was laughing and talking with you one second becomes a victim of the enemy the next, there is always a moment when a person breaks down.

Similarly, Lin Xueyin was constantly tormented by the sight of the soldiers she had once saved facing death again.

Was it right or wrong to save those people? Was their immortality a curse or a blessing? The images of the warriors who had repeatedly thanked him kept flashing through his mind. Those words of gratitude now seemed filled with self-mockery.

This is not a game, and I am not a god. Even if I could resurrect someone, so what? Could I make that person never die? The sun was setting, and the bloody sunset filled the sky and the battlefield. The stench of blood filled the air.

Unconsciously, she wrapped her arms around Arya's waist and buried her head in Arya's hard, plate-armored bosom. However, at this moment, the embrace gave her a sense of inexplicable peace.

"Hey, Aria, do you think I did something wrong?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Hearing Lin Xueyin's somewhat weak voice, Ailiya hugged her tightly with concern.

The girl's trembling body, her painful breathing, and even her choked words made Aria instinctively hug the girl in her arms tightly.

"Xueyin, what happened? Are you injured?"

"No, it's just that I don't know if what I did was right or wrong." Originally, Lin Xueyin thought that transcending life and death and ignoring the boundary between life and death was something to be proud of, even comparable to the gods. However, at this moment, Lin Xueyin realized that even if one transcends life and death, one is still cursed by life and death. Even if one ignores the boundary between life and death, one still suffers the torment of teetering between life and death.

"Right or wrong, do you think you did something wrong? Did you help us repel the orcs' attack?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know..." As a normal boy from a peaceful era, Lin Xueyin didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong. Was bringing those people back to life just to make them die again?

"Alright, although I don't know what happened to you, look behind us. Perhaps, in the eyes of the orcs, they are righteous, but we also have our own stance."

He gently stroked Lin Xueyin's soft golden hair. "Look behind us. There are our family, friends, and lovers. We cannot lose. If we lose, chaos will follow. Back then, our human race fought hard to gain peace, and now we must use force to maintain it."

“But, Arya, those warriors I resurrected with my own hands, how innocent they were! Did I resurrect them just to let them die again?”

"Xueyin, please don't say that. If it weren't for you, we might have died long ago. You should know that your existence is the hope of those soldiers, the hope of surviving on the battlefield."

He gently cupped Lin Xueyin's pretty face in his hands, and looking at her face with reddened eyes, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

"My dear, we are warriors of the empire, and dying on the battlefield is our greatest honor. So, Yukine, you don't need to blame yourself too much."

Looking at the earnest Aria before her, and then turning to look at the warriors who were bleeding on the battlefield, Lin Xueyin finally understood the true meaning of the Qin Feng poem she had learned back then.

"How can we say we have no clothes? We share the same robes. The king is raising an army; let us prepare our spears and shields, and fight together against our common enemy..."

What should have been a desolate battlefield sound was sung by a young girl in a light and ethereal voice, giving it a different kind of charm. However, the soldiers did not pay attention to it at this moment. Instead, they listened attentively to this catchy and easy-to-understand song.

"How can you say we have no clothes? We will share our garments with you. The king is raising an army; let us prepare our spears and halberds, and fight alongside you!"

Gradually, the soldiers' songs filled the entire Sunset Pass. The simple songs ignited the soldiers' morale and will to persevere in their resistance.

Arya looked at the person beside her, whose eyes were fixed on the orc camp below the city gate. Her disheveled figure now possessed an unwavering resolve. It seemed that her words had resonated with her deeply.

"Whoa, Aria, what are you doing?"

Suddenly lifted up in her arms, Lin Xueyin clung tightly to Ailiya's neck, her pretty face pressed against the somewhat cold plate armor.

"Alright, I know you're amazing, but go back and wash up and rest first."

Although it was a battlefield, as a priest, Lin Xueyin still had the right to take a bath every day. After all, within the city, her very existence was a rare strategic resource.

The soldiers along the way saw them and all chuckled good-naturedly, making Lin Xueyin's pretty face grow increasingly hot. Ailiya noticed this as the arms around her neck tightened. She couldn't help but give a wry smile.

Meanwhile, behind Sunset Pass, Marshal Lokaf and Prince Ikux, who should have been discussing tactics, were anxiously waiting for something behind the city.

Soon, one transport team after another came into view. The supplies on them were not what they were waiting for; rather, they were waiting for the large reinforcement team that followed.

Yes, it was reinforcements, reinforcements from dwarves and elves, and there were even some wearing white cloaks among them, which puzzled Lokaf. But after bending down and hearing the dwarf leader whispering to him on his toes, he showed a delighted expression.

"That's wonderful! We welcome everyone to help us at Sunset Pass. We will never forget this kindness."

"Haha, Marshal Lokaf, you are too kind. If the orcs take Sunset Pass, it will be very disadvantageous for us dwarves. Whether for the sake of you humans or for the sake of us dwarves, we will definitely do our best to assist you."

The dwarf's generosity suited Lokaf's taste perfectly, and the elf spoke in his own clear, distinctive voice.

"We've come not only to help you defend this place, but also to protect a priest who can use resurrection magic. We hope that Marshal can grant us some assistance?"

"This?" Upon hearing that it was about Lin Xueyin, Lokaf was unsure of what to do and could only look at Prince Ikux to the side.

"You're looking for Xueyin, right? I'll take you to her when I get back. But, can we enter the city now?"

He gave a signal to the guards beside him, and sure enough, they understood and quietly disappeared into the crowd.

Volume 3, Orc Invasion: Chapter 20, The Elf's Visit

When the reinforcements entered Sunset Pass, the already firm resolve of the defenders was further strengthened. Lokaf and Prince Ikux, along with their generals, began to deploy for the final battle against the Orcish Alliance.

At this moment, several unfamiliar and charming men entered Lin Xueyin's barracks. Their handsome appearance made Lin Xueyin a little jealous. Yes, jealous. How could such effeminate men appear in this world?

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Lin Xueyin?"

"Um, it's me. What brings you here?"

Although he was questioning the three handsome, pointed-eared male elves in front of him, his eyes were fixed on the soldier leading the way.

"Pastor Lin, it's like this..."

Seeing the beautiful young woman looking at him with eyes that seemed to speak volumes, asking him questions, the soldier leading the way felt somewhat at a loss.

"His Highness ordered me to bring these three commanders of the elven reinforcements here to see you..."

"Okay, that's all, you can go back now."

The soldier was already somewhat incoherent. Lin Xueyin waved her hand, gently telling him to leave first. The gentle smile on her face made the soldier suddenly feel like he was having a heart attack.

"Please come in, everyone. The barracks are a bit messy, please forgive us."

It was a bit messy, with practically no place to stand. However, considering this was a battlefield, it was understandable that she didn't have time to tidy up. But while it was understandable, as an elf, she was still quite uncomfortable in such a chaotic environment.

Lin Xueyin subtly gestured with her eyes to the two male elves behind her, and watched as the two elves quickly cleaned her room.

Hmmmm, I suddenly feel a bit of pain in my face. Of course, as the host, the other party has already taken the initiative, so Lin Xueyin still needs to do something to regain control.

"Well then, let's do it first. You've come all this way to provide support, and you even had someone bring you here to find me. I'm afraid there's something you need."

"First, let me introduce myself. I am the commander of the reinforcements from the Kerluqin Forest Elf Clan, Baiwaier Du Iliserna... Mokweid."

Feeling a bit bewildered by the string of names, Lin Xueyin tilted her head and looked at the handsome elf in front of her. Why was his name so difficult to pronounce?

"Duwaier Du..."

"It's Berwald, you can just call me Mokwed." Hearing Lin Xueyin say her name with great difficulty, Mokwed gave a wry smile.

Because elves are a very long-lived race, their marriages are very long, resulting in numerous offspring and chaotic intermarriages. As a result, their names contain various surnames, making them quite difficult to pronounce.

"Oh, then I'll call you Mokwerd. I wonder what brings you here today? I don't think I'm so important that the commander of a large army would deign to come and see me."

"Haha, that's right, there are indeed some things that need to be confirmed. First, I want to ask you, which god do you believe in?"
