"Believe in God?" Lin Xueyin tilted her head, looking at the other person with some confusion. This question made her feel a little strange.

Seeing the other person nod and even seem quite concerned about the question, Lin Xueyin frowned and continued, "I don't have a god I believe in. If I had to find one, I would believe in the Holy Light."

"Holy Light?" This unexpected answer surprised Mokwed. It was a faith he had never heard of before, which was probably why she was able to resurrect the dead.

"Then, can you tell me if your resurrection technique has any side effects? I don't believe you can resurrect people indefinitely without paying a price."

Uh, how was she supposed to answer that question? The other party's purpose in coming here was unclear, and if she told the truth, Lin Xueyin was genuinely worried that it would cause her trouble.

"I can indeed resurrect the dead, but there are side effects. First, I can only resurrect those who died unnaturally; I cannot resurrect those who died of illness or old age."

Seeing that Mokwed was thinking seriously and nodded, indicating that she would continue, Lin Xueyin continued.

"Secondly, after a person is resurrected, their soul will be weak for a day. Although there is no physical response, I cannot resurrect them a second time. In other words, I am powerless to help someone who dies again within a day."

"Hmm, is that all?"

Seeing that Lin Xueyin didn't intend to continue, Mokwade was somewhat surprised. Such a powerful resurrection technique only had such few side effects.

"So, it doesn't affect you at all?"

These words startled Lin Xueyin. In games, resurrection is a common skill; which healer can't revive others? But in real life, it's a different story. To come back from the dead is an act of defying the heavens.

If this ability doesn't backfire and doesn't require any cost, then it would truly make others wary. The existence of such a strategic entity within an enemy country is not good news for neighboring nations.

"It will certainly have an impact on me, but the impact won't be in the present, but in the future?"

Mokwed frowned slightly, his expression unnoticed, and gave the girl with a questioning look.

"What I have to give up is my own life. The Holy Light will take a corresponding amount of time from me in proportion."

"You mean, when you use a resurrection spell, your life force will decrease, and the time of your own life will be shortened?"

Suddenly, I felt a pang of sympathy for the young girl before me. How many people had she saved in this great battle? It's probably impossible to count. And what about her life...?

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. Many of those soldiers died again, so I didn't lose much of my life. I'm still so young, I can afford to waste that little bit of time."

He chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head. Before he could finish speaking, the door was pushed open forcefully. A girl in military uniform stared intently at the blonde girl sitting opposite an elf, her bright blue eyes looking at him with surprise.

"Lin Xueyin, your resurrection technique requires you to pay such a high price, why didn't you tell me?"

"Uh..." Looking at Aria who had suddenly entered, Lin Xueyin didn't know what to say. Should she tell her that her resurrection spell really only required a tiny bit of MP? There were other people around too.

"Xueyin, promise me you won't use resurrection magic anymore. Now that reinforcements have arrived, the dwarves and elves have joined forces with us, and we have the upper hand. We no longer need your resurrection magic to hold on."

Seeing that the two girls seemed to have a lot to say, Mokwed smiled at Lin Xueyin, then stood up and said, "I already know what I wanted to know, Ms. Lin Xueyin. After the war is over, I hope you can visit the Kerluqin Forest. I will be waiting for your arrival there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mokwed turned and left with his two men, leaving the two girls staring at each other in bewilderment.

Volume 3: The Orcish Invasion - Chapter 21: The Imminent Final Battle

Outside Sunset Pass, in the orc camp, Nadakors already knew that the elven reinforcements had arrived. He never expected that the elves, who had never participated in the continental wars, would now stand on the side of the humans.

His thick fingers tapped lightly on the table in front of him, and his scarlet eyes calmly swept over the surrounding commanders. Seeing their fierce expressions, a satisfied smile appeared on his thick lips.

"The elves and dwarves have both sent their reinforcements to aid Sunset Pass. We are about to face a three-way coalition of enemies. Commanders, are you afraid?"

"Roar, roar, roar."

"Let all those short men and skinny men become the dead under our swords."

"Haha, not bad, as expected of our beastmen warriors. I believe we can definitely pile their heads on Sunset Pass. Tomorrow, we will have a decisive battle with them. At that time, we will make the beastmen army shake the entire continent."

"Oh, oh, oh."

"Your Highness, I heard there's a beautiful young woman inside who can resurrect people. She's a human beauty, with delicate skin. Your Highness, don't you have any other thoughts... Why are you pushing me?"

A beastman commander who had just delivered grain was offering advice to his prince in a lewd manner when he was suddenly shoved by his colleague with his elbow.

Speechless as he looked at the prince's ashen face, the kind-hearted commander could only silently mourn for his friend. Truly, he had brought this upon himself.

"Alright, that's enough. All you need to do is capture that woman alive, and I'll have a way to deal with her. Of course, if all else fails, just kill her. Remember, you absolutely cannot let her return to the human race alive."

"I understand, Your Highness, but are you really willing to destroy such a beautiful flower?"

"Get out of here. How could I not be willing to do that? If you can't cut off the heads of a few human leaders by tomorrow, I'll twist your head off."

He knew it was his subordinates teasing him, but as a prince, he still had the magnanimity to tolerate it. However, he was still somewhat conflicted about Lin Xueyin's existence.

However, before that, he still needed to communicate with the other two allies again. After all, without their support, relying solely on the orcs to fight against the combined army of the three races in tomorrow's great battle would be truly difficult.

Meanwhile, in the barbarian camp, the vampire marshal Isaac sat before Movar, a faint, eerie smile on his pale face.

"I heard that Nadakors hopes to have a decisive battle with the humans tomorrow."

"Indeed, the enemy's reinforcements are no longer just dwarves, but also elves. In that case, the longer this war drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the orcs. If I were the orc marshal, I would probably fight a great battle and then retreat."

Listening to Movar's analysis of the battlefield, Isaac lightly blew the dust off his fingertips and then continued the conversation.

"If I were Nadakors, I would retreat immediately. Since the humans can persuade the elves, they might be able to persuade the demons as well. If the demons really join the war, it will probably not be just Sunset Pass that is the battlefield."

The barbarian marshal glanced at the pale-faced vampire marshal in surprise, as if he had overheard some conspiracy.

"You mean the demons will take this opportunity to attack our alliance?"

"Who can say for sure? The orcs are limited by their own ambitions. What good can a mere alliance agreement do?"

Speaking of this, the barbarian marshal shook his head with a wry smile. After all, the demon race was too powerful, and the beast race had already felt tremendous pressure.

The vampires are alright. Although some of them border the demons, they are also affiliated with the demons and have always maintained good relations with them.

The orcs are different. Being warlike by nature, they naturally hope to take the initiative when facing the high pressure from the demons. Human territory is what they want most. Being blinded by greed, the orcs are probably the best example of this.

As for our side, the far north region near the mainland, even if the demons conquered it, it wouldn't be of much use. There are only some special minerals there, which are important resources, but we also need these resources to exchange for living supplies. Even if we conquered it, the cost of occupation alone would be extremely high. Therefore, the barbarians are quite safe there.

Just as the two were chatting happily, a guard came in and asked if they were visiting Prince Nadakors of the Orcs. The two smiled at each other; they had just been talking about how Nadakors would be coming soon to discuss the decisive battle the next day, and here he was.

He gestured to his men to let the orc prince in, and then a conversation filled with mutual interests and discussions could be heard from inside.

At this time, not only the orcs hoped for a decisive battle the next day, but the humans did as well. When Lokaf received the challenge from the orcs, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The combined army of the three races is large in number, but the resources they consume are also astronomical. With people and horses being fed and cared for, the supplies stored in Sunset Pass will not last long. If the enemy does not attack and the stalemate continues, we really will not be able to hold out.

Unfortunately, the other side lacks someone with strategic vision. Thinking this, he glanced lightly at the girl chatting and laughing with Aria.

Thinking about the advice she secretly gave me yesterday, I broke out in a cold sweat.

"If a battle is simply a contest of who has more people, then there is no need for a battlefield. Although it seems that we have received a large number of reinforcements, we also need to pay a lot of military expenses. If the enemy surrounds us but does not attack, our daily consumption can drag our entire country down."

Despite her own surprised expression, the girl continued her analysis, "Once our military supplies run out, it's hard to say whether these reinforcements will ultimately be friend or foe. So, the initiative is in our hands now, but time has also become our greatest enemy."

Thinking that this girl could see the war so clearly, and that she was also a rare holy priest, Lokaf wished he could leave her at Sunset Pass so that she could succeed him as the commander of Sunset Pass in the future.

Of course, this was impossible. When Lokaf discussed it with Prince Ikux, he firmly refused. In the prince's eyes, she seemed to see a hint of admiration and...

The Crown Prince has not yet chosen a consort, but this time he probably has one. His Majesty should be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Volume 3: The Orcish Invasion - Chapter 22: The Final Battle and Betrayal

On the vast plain, the two armies stood in silent confrontation. The autumn wind was bleak, banners were densely packed, swords and spears gleamed, and a chilling aura of killing intent permeated the plain. A sense of desolation and strife became the dominant theme on this plain.

Lin Xueyin watched the battle formation in front of the pass from afar. She had originally hoped to join the battle, but after hearing what Ailiya said about the price she had mentioned before, everyone unanimously demanded that she not participate in the battle. Even Ailiya, whom she was worried about, was forced to stay inside the pass as a guard.

"Um, Aria, you won't blame me, will you? I just wanted to go to the battlefield, but I didn't expect them to leave you behind inside the pass as well."

Speaking of this, Aria was a little disappointed, but she didn't blame the little girl. After all, the girl had been worried about her and kept insisting on going to the battlefield, but she hadn't expected the outcome.

Of course, to some extent, this girl had achieved her goal. Looking at the somewhat awkward girl staring at her, Aria couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

He gently pulled her into his arms, resting his slightly rounded chin on her beautiful, long, golden hair. "Believe me, even without you and me, we will win this war."

Lin Xueyin, held in the other's arms, nodded gently. "Yes, in the current situation, we have the upper hand. Whether it's strength, military power, or morale, we have far surpassed them. If we were to lose again, there would be no justice in the world."

After saying that, she immediately added, "Aria, your plate armor is too hard, it's making me uncomfortable."

He raised his hand forcefully and gently tapped the little head that was pouting, and heard her grunt in dissatisfaction.

Meanwhile, fierce fighting had already begun on the battlefield. Lin Xueyin watched the carnage under the sunlight from afar. She had participated in it before, but this was the first time she had observed it from such a short distance.

Unlike what she saw on TV, and also different from what she had personally experienced, the horrific scenes, the piercing screams, and the violent roars made Lin Xueyin's soul tremble.

Trembling, Aria noticed the pale face of the girl in her arms.

"Xueyin, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little, a little, cough cough..."

"Little girl, don't come to the battlefield again next time. This is not a place for you." Looking at Lin Xueyin's pale face with heartache, he wanted to carry her to the foot of the city, but she held on tightly.

"No, I can't leave. Although I can't be of much use here, if I leave, the soldiers will see me."

"But, given your current state... Fine, I'll do as you say. If I find anything wrong with you, don't blame me for kidnapping you."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I won't be stubborn." Her pale lips were tightly pursed, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes, and her trembling body was carefully held in Aria's arms.

A pair of deep blue eyes remained fixed on the battlefield, watching the allied forces of humans, dwarves, and elves engage in a brutal battle against the allied forces of orcs, barbarians, and vampires.

The Elven stag cavalry had begun charging the vampire army on the left flank; their unique nature magic was perfectly suited to counter the vampires' blood magic.

The dwarves clashed fiercely with the tall barbarians, and the short but strong dwarves engaged these tall barbarian warriors in a decisive battle of equal strength.

The human race, as the main force, fought a great battle against the orcs in the center. The mages used their ranged attacks, bombarding the orc formation with spells of various colors.

Seeing the orcs' formation begin to falter under the magical bombardment, Lokaf brandished his greatsword and ordered his heavy cavalry to charge directly into the already somewhat chaotic enemy formation.

The orcs, who originally had Nightmare cavalry, would not have worried about the human heavy cavalry. However, in the previous raid, the orcs lost a large number of Nightmare cavalry. What remained was not enough to form a force, so they could only use these cavalry as reserves to prevent harassment from the human light cavalry.

When Nadakors saw the enemy heavy cavalry charging straight at him, he first ordered his archers to continuously strike the cavalry from a distance. However, the human mages suppressed the range of the archers, preventing them from launching enough attacks to force the heavy cavalry to stop their charge.

Left with no other choice, Nadakors ordered the shield bearers in the front to form a shield wall, while the spearmen in the rear raised their spears and thrust their sharp tips at the oncoming cavalry.

The powerful impact caused some of the knights in front to be impaled by their spears, while on the other side, the orcs were also blown apart by the force of the impact, revealing large gaps in their originally neat formation.

Seeing the enemy lose their formation due to the cavalry charge, Lokaf led his elite troops to charge at the green orcs.

Seeing that the legion was in disarray, Nadakors issued a series of orders and quickly stabilized the chaos caused by the cavalry charge.

The orcs' innate bloodlust for war relentlessly drove the human infantry to the brink of collapse. However, this period of prosperity was short-lived. The human light cavalry constantly harassed the area, while the Nightmare Cavalry were forced into retreat by these cavalrymen and were unable to mount any threatening counterattacks.

Seeing that the human mages had become entangled, they turned their attention to the barbarian army as planned. Movar was shocked to see that the enemy was using mages to launch a ranged attack on their side.

Although the barbarians are strong, they have little resistance to magical attacks. If they are attacked by the enemy, their troops will likely suffer heavy losses.

Seeing the orcs already entangled, Movar gritted his teeth, signaled his legion to retreat, glanced guiltily at the orc legion in the center, and helplessly led his army back.
