Meanwhile, Isaac of the vampire clan saw that the barbarians had retreated, and he had just come into contact with the elven stag knights. Although he was still able to hold on, he ordered his army to slowly retreat.
Nadakors was still unaware that his flanks were beginning to crumble, and he continued to wage a bloody and protracted battle against the humans.
The infantrymen constantly exchanged casualties, while the cavalry roared in and left triumphantly, shattering the newly restored formations once again.
At this moment, both the vampires and barbarians had disengaged from the battle, and Nadakors belatedly realized that he was completely surrounded by the human alliance.
Volume Three: The Orc Invasion - Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tragedy of the Orcs
The vampires retreated, the barbarians withdrew, and after Nadakors learned of this, the entire orcish army was surrounded by the combined forces of the humans, elves, and dwarves.
Nadakors angrily hacked the enemy in front of him to death with a single blow. His ferocious face was covered in blood, which was not only hatred for the enemy, but also anger at his incompetent ally.
"Your Highness, let's retreat. The vampires and barbarians have already left. If we continue to hold out, the main force of the beastmen will truly be wiped out here."
The orc shamans were protected in the middle by the orc infantry. They constantly added buffs to their army, making them more courageous and powerful on the battlefield. However, no matter how powerful they were, they could not withstand the fierce attack after being surrounded.
One warrior after another fell to the human's blade. But the orc infantry behind them did not flinch. The lightly armored axe-bearers, the heavily armored heavy infantry, and the javelin throwers continued to fight back fiercely within their respective encirclements.
Seeing this, Lin Xueyin knew that the outcome was already decided. The orcs had completely lost any chance of turning the tide. If things continued, the orc race would probably be finished.
At this critical moment, Nadakors chose to retreat, preserving his forces to prevent excessive losses and further weakening the Orcish nation.
Seeing them concentrate on breaking out at one point, Marshal Lokaf of the human race chose to let them leave at this moment, which greatly puzzled the elves and dwarves.
Marshal Lokaf simply smiled and remained silent, watching the orc warriors flee in panic.
Lin Xueyin breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Ailiya beside her, who was also letting out a deep breath, her face gradually regained its color. However, faced with the blood-soaked battlefield, she still couldn't utter a single word.
This is a stage for the dead; the living have no right to speak here. How can anyone be in the mood to celebrate a brutal victory?
When the army returned to Luori Pass, this formidable pass once again stood firm at the end, while the enemy it faced had lost the glory it had brought.
"Marshal Lokaf, why didn't you press your advantage and pursue the enemy? Why did you let them go?" Prince Ikuks asked, puzzled. They clearly had the ability to weaken the enemy on a larger scale, yet they were allowed to leave. This left the prince bewildered and resentful.
"Haha, Your Highness, it's not that I didn't press my advantage, but rather, I had already made arrangements."
These words startled the prince, and when he looked around again, he found that the light cavalry had not returned, and the other reinforcements from before had not appeared either.
"So that's what the Marshal was thinking."
The two men smiled at each other and then went together to the marshals of the other two armies to express their sincere gratitude for their great support.
Meanwhile, Nadakors led his orc legion in a hasty retreat northward, finally arriving at their camp. Seeing the other two armies that had already withdrawn, Nadakors, filled with resentment, wanted to confront the marshals of those two armies, and indeed, he did.
"Isaac, Movar, why, why did you retreat without a fight? If you could just hold on a little longer, I could completely crush the human army. Couldn't you even hold on for that little bit of time?"
“Your Highness, please understand that we are currently being restrained by the enemy's army. However, that is not the main point. The main point is that our vampire clan has been invaded by the demons. Therefore, I must withdraw my troops as soon as possible to defend our tribe.”
The polite words contained unbelievable statements, and Nadakors was completely unwilling to believe the answer.
"That's impossible. I've already signed a peace treaty with the demons, and they won't launch an attack on us for the next ten years."
"Ridiculous. You signed with your beast race, what does that have to do with our vampire race? I will naturally confront you about this matter, but for now, we need to withdraw our troops immediately."
He stormed off with a furious expression, followed by the barbarian marshal Movar.
"Marshal Movar, you also..."
"The vampires have been ambushed, and we barbarians dare not linger here. Although we are located in the north, the demons' purpose in coming here is probably to support the human race. Even if your beastmen are not in danger, we barbarians still need to preserve our strength."
Damn it, why did they suddenly send troops at this time? If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been defeated by these weak humans.
Faced with a crushing defeat, Nadakors knew that without the aid of two reinforcements, he was powerless to turn the tide and had no choice but to retreat. However, unwilling to give up, he still hoped to regroup, rest briefly, sign a treaty with the humans, and then leave.
Night fell quickly, and the orc army, having endured a day of fierce fighting and a crushing defeat, fell into a deep sleep early.
The cool night breeze carried a chilling aura. Under the cover of night, figures flashed through the air, their cold glints carrying away the lives of guards in the beastman camp.
Soon, the camp gate was slowly pushed open. After seeing the signal, the human cavalry pressed forward in force, rushing straight to the orc camp. They threw all the torches they had lit into the barracks, and in an instant, flames soared into the sky and the sounds of battle filled the air.
Nadakors, who hadn't fallen asleep yet, rushed out of the camp after hearing the commotion outside. He saw his warriors being ambushed and killed by those despicable humans. They hadn't even put on the most basic armor before being killed with a single blow.
Enraged, the orc prince's eyes turned bloodshot as he charged forward, yanking a human cavalryman off his horse. Once back on his mount, he drew his weapon and charged at the ambushing enemies.
At this moment, the powerful beastmen who had been hiding in the beastmen's camp also appeared. As powerful warriors, they continuously reaped the lives of these ordinary soldiers.
Just as the situation was about to be stabilized, several female warriors with white wings descended from the sky and blocked the beastmen's powerful warriors.
"The Feathered Race? You are the Feathered Race." Upon seeing the powerful figures who had blocked their way, the pupils of the orcs contracted rapidly. They realized that they were not being attacked by the Three Races Alliance, but that there was a Feathered Race member hidden away, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
The moment Nadakors saw the Winged Clan appear, he knew the situation was hopeless and could only lead his personal guards in a hasty escape with the help of the orc experts.
The remaining orc warriors, after a night of bloody battle, were finally and completely defeated; some died, some fled, and they no longer posed any threat.
This battle at sunset ended in victory for the human alliance. When the sun rose again, it brought with it a long-awaited peace and tranquility.
Volume 4: The Forest of Kerluqin: Chapter 1: Return? A Successful Retirement
The great battle at Sunset Pass had ended a few days ago. During this time, the elven marshal came to see him several times, and his words and actions always hinted that they hoped he could visit their elven forest.
What exactly are the elves' goals?
"What other purpose could they have? Of course, they want you to visit them. After all, they're someone who can resurrect people, so they'd be curious, wouldn't they?"
Ailiya couldn't understand why Lin Xueyin would think so much, when it was something that could be concluded simply by looking at the surface.
Hmmm, how can I explain this to Aria so that she understands that things aren't as simple as they seem? At least I've heard the saying, "A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken is not a sign of good intentions," and I also know the meaning of "Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft."
"Alright, let's not think about it too much. When you go back this time, you should receive a great reward. His Majesty will probably value you highly."
Looking at the somewhat naive girl with a wry smile, Lin Xueyin was not optimistic about her future prospects. At least, the value she had shown now was enough for His Majesty the King to no longer ignore her.
And those nobles, how could they possibly allow themselves to remain so free? Although they wouldn't really do anything to me, what I would have to give up was the last thing I wanted to give.
If she were truly under the protection of the state, she would completely lose her freedom. In that situation, how could she possibly find Nana? Although she didn't say it aloud, she was still very worried about her, wondering if she had been bullied or injured outside.
"Yukine, Yukine?"
"Ah, what's wrong?" Startled by Aria's two calls, Yukine jumped back and glanced at the innocent Aria with some displeasure.
"I called you several times, but you didn't answer me. That's why I called in your ear."
"Um, okay, I was just thinking about something, sorry."
"It's alright, it's alright. But, Xueyin, have you thought it through? When we get back, His Majesty will definitely reward you with something. What do you want? Maybe he'll let you choose for yourself."
I want freedom, but they can never give it to me again. Lin Xueyin sighed helplessly in her heart and continued Ailiya's words.
"Let's talk about that later, maybe there are other things to do."
Scratching her head, Lin Xueyin handed the book she had borrowed from another priest to Aria, "This is a book I borrowed from Master Nord. Please return it to me."
"Alright, I'll return it to you right away. You're leaving tomorrow, so just pack your things first."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll definitely pack everything properly, so don't worry."
She felt that Lin Xueyin's words had a hidden meaning, but she couldn't quite make out what it was. She could only gently tap her finger on the little face with a mischievous smile.
Watching Aria push open the door and leave, Lin Xueyin stood in front of the window, watching her slowly disappear into the night. Lin Xueyin then turned her gaze to a corner of the room.
"Come out. I know you haven't left. You've been watching from here the whole time."
"Hmm? How did you know? Although we elves can't be 100% invisible like the Shadow Clan, our stealth skills are still quite good. How did you find me?"
"Found you? Your scent could be smelled from hundreds of meters away, how come I didn't know?"
With his arms crossed, he smiled as he watched the elven marshal gradually appear before him, and the two men spoke in a language unknown to anyone else in his room.
In the distant Demon King's city, news of the beastmen's retreat had reached the Demon King's ears. A slender, jade-like finger tapped the armrest of his chair, his eyes closed, seemingly humming a song in a pleasant mood.
"Your Highness, we have carried out the plan to launch a surprise attack on the vampires, and they have indeed retreated."
"Of course, the vampires themselves don't want any direct conflict with us. How could I not know what they want? It's just that we still need them now, so there's no need to be so ruthless."
“I understand, Your Majesty. However, we have heard that some people among the human race have proposed to place Lin Xueyin under house arrest or to force her to hand over the resurrection technique.”
A flash of murderous intent disappeared in an instant, and a mocking smile appeared on her sexy red lips. She parted her lips slightly and said, "I never thought those people would treat my little girl like this. I wonder what will happen to her if she goes back to the human capital."
"Your Majesty, should we...?"
"No need. Let that disobedient little girl suffer a bit so she'll learn where the best place is. But you all need to be careful not to let her get really hurt. Do you understand?"
After thinking about it, I felt that this arrangement was acceptable, so I decided to skip it and take a good look at the information about Lin Xueyin later.
"Alright, how's the matter with the elves going? Remember, what exactly is your mission?"
"Your Majesty, we had already begun implementing it, but..."
Before she could finish speaking, the dark elf with dark skin, wearing a purple cloak, slightly raised her eyes to look at the Demon King before her, wondering if what she was about to say would enrage her.
"Just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush like this."
"Well, Your Majesty, then I'll speak. I heard from my sources within the Elven race that their support for the Human race this time also has a specific purpose: to send that girl who can resurrect people into the Elven realm to help them solve..."
"Damn it, how dare they send Yukine there? Don't they know that place is dangerous..."
In her anger, she heard the elder cough, which brought her back to her senses a little. Helpless, she could only look at the dark elf man.
"Nass, remember this: no matter what you do, you can't hurt her, understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely protect Miss Lin's safety and ensure she is not harmed in the slightest."
Nas knew the importance of this matter. If anything went wrong, not only would he himself suffer, but his entire clan would likely face dire consequences.
"No, I need to have a backup plan. It's too dangerous for her to go to the Elven realm like this."
After a moment's thought, the Demon King felt uneasy relying solely on the demons' infiltrators within the elves to ensure Lin Xueyin's safety. It seemed he needed to activate his hidden trump card ahead of schedule.
Volume 4: Kerluqin Forest: Chapter 2 (Sneak Peek)
Arya was very unhappy, yes, really unhappy. When she and everyone else were seeing off the elf and dwarf reinforcements, her good friend, the little priest Lin Xueyin, had actually disappeared.
Holding the letter she left behind, Aria was both worried and annoyed. If she hadn't wanted to join in the fun, she wouldn't have let her leave alone. How was she going to explain this to His Majesty when they got back?
Just as Aria was feeling a bit lost, there was a knock on the door. It was Ikux's magnetic voice that came from outside, asking to come in and talk to Lin Xueyin about something.
Whenever he had free time, the gentleness of Lin Xueyin when she saved him would always come to mind, especially when she helped him heal his wounds. Her pure and holy appearance was something he could never forget.
Now that the war is finally over, he hopes to have a good talk with Lin Xueyin so that their relationship can get closer.
However, when Prince Ikux arrived at Lin Xueyin's room with excitement but also some hesitation, he found that she had already left a note and run away. Her target was gone, so what was there left to say?
