It was clearly an attempt to save face, but the people present just laughed good-naturedly and didn't dwell on it.
"Then I'll call you Yukine." After a slight pause, she continued.
"Xueyin, judging from your thoughtful expression just now, do you have some understanding of these situations?"
How am I supposed to explain this? I can't exactly say that I seem to have seen these spirits before, and that I feel they are connected to the spirits from the past, but I have no evidence. How am I supposed to say that?
"Your Majesty, this is what happened. When our Fire Phoenix Mercenary Group first came here, we were ambushed by undead, and there were even some giant undead creatures."
It was Orichils who stood aside and watched coldly, helping Lin Xueyin out of the predicament. Although he didn't understand why she was so troubled, Orichils still smoothed things over for her.
"Oh? I didn't expect to encounter undead on the way here. It seems these demons' intentions are indeed impure."
Upon hearing this news, the High King of the Dwarves suddenly stood up. "Since the demons want us to fight our own battles, how can we possibly let them have their way?"
Under the excited gaze of this winged creature, the Supreme King finally uttered words that filled her with hope.
"Kule, prepare the troops; we are about to send troops to support the Feather Clan."
"But, Your Majesty, we have just finished a major battle. If we rashly send troops, it might..."
When a dwarf saw that the High King had so easily issued the order to support the Feathered Race, he quickly came out to stop him. Putting aside the fact that the Feathered Race had watched them struggle against the Skaven, the country's finances were already stretched thin.
"Hmph, then we'll just watch the Feathered Clan fight alone. Do you really want those undead to leave on their own after defeating the Feathered Clan?"
The High King frowned slightly, finding it difficult to agree with what the dwarf before him had said.
"Yukine, what do you think we should do?"
"Huh? I said I'm human, it's not good for me to say that."
Looking at herself in disbelief, Lin Xueyin was at a loss for words. As a human, interfering in the diplomacy between the dwarves and the winged race seemed completely wrong.
"What's wrong with that? As a human, your opinions might be more pertinent."
Looking around, she saw that everyone was staring at her. Lin Xueyin could only take a deep breath and try to relax her tense mood.
"Then let me first share my opinion."
The Supreme King smiled and nodded, then began to listen to the human girl's opinion.
"I think the Black Iron Clan should go to support the Feather Clan now. Putting aside the situation of the Feather Clan, the Black Iron Clan itself cannot withstand a major battle at this time."
Noticing the confused looks, Lin Xueyin shrugged and continued, "I know what you're wondering about. I just want to ask, if the undead race defeats the winged race, who will be their next target? They don't need logistical support. When the undead army is no longer restrained by the winged race, will they be able to withstand the onslaught from above?"
"If I remember correctly, most of the fortifications were designed to defend downwards, which means that at that time, the undead were facing the Black Iron race, who had no defenses whatsoever."
Volume 5: The Winged Race and the Dwarves: Chapter 24 The Attack of the Undead Giants
The dwarven army set off again, fully armed, carrying all the weapons they could, even dismantling the fixed cannons and dragging them up the mountain.
The dwarf king looked ahead at the girl who had joined him and the others in their attack. She had bid farewell to her friend and was embarking on her journey once again. He couldn't help but recall the dignified words she had spoken in the palace the day before.
"If the Dark Iron Clan can face the undead army that is advancing with the tide of war, if the Dark Iron Clan can bear the infamy of watching their allies perish without lifting a finger, if the Dark Iron Clan can disregard the reputation of keeping their word that they have earned over generations, then you can choose not to provide support."
"However, can we really give up on everything? The rat race has not been wiped out. Are you going to lose the best time to strike and wait for your demise because of your own short-term gains?"
The silent hall was filled only with the heavy breathing of the crowd, who were momentarily at a loss for words. Since ancient times, the dwarves' emphasis on promises had been deeply ingrained in their hearts. She was not wrong; their defenses could only be effective against attacks from below. She was not wrong in this regard either. As for the infamy of watching their allies perish, she truly could not bear that burden. She was not wrong in that respect either.
Finally, at this moment, he made a decisive decision: the army would set off, and he would personally lead the troops to support the Feathered Clan, using all the strength of the entire clan to help them.
Afterwards, she made a decision that was hard for him to believe: she actually volunteered to go to war with him. She was one of the human race's trump cards, so it was understandable that she would return to the human race at this time. Yet she even volunteered to personally participate in the battlefield.
Lin Xueyin accidentally sneezed and scratched her head sheepishly, only to have her head slapped by Orichalcos.
"Little girl, I told you to cover yourself with the blanket yesterday, but you wouldn't listen. You said you felt hot all over. Now you've caught a cold."
"Ugh, don't hit my head, it'll make me stupid, really."
He covered his head, looking at the elven ranger behind him with dissatisfaction, who was laughing happily.
"Why are you following me instead of going with Sister Liuli?"
"I promised you I would always protect you, have you forgotten?"
Hmmmm, can I say I thought you were joking? Lin Xueyin was a little flustered, feeling like she was being confessed to. But why didn't she feel this way when Ailiya said that to her?
Lin Xueyin was a little confused, but didn't know how to express it. She just felt a sense of security lingering in her heart as the other person took her hand.
"Little girl, be careful, there are some wandering undead ahead, and..."
He drew his arrow, released the bow, and the arrow, like a shooting star, pierced the space in front of him, shooting down a crow that had just landed. After flapping its wings a few times, the crow's eyes gradually lost their luster.
"Huh? Orichils, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? I suspect that this crow is a necromancer's scout. Our entire route of advance has probably been spotted by the enemy."
Huh? Using crows as scouts? That's a bit... uh... Suddenly I remembered my skills, Mind's Eye and Mind Control. It seems I can do that too.
"Please wait a moment."
The Mind's Eye instantly captured a fleeing rabbit in the distance, capturing everything within the rabbit's field of vision.
"An army of the undead is waiting for us ahead; we cannot proceed any further."
As Lin Xueyin watched the dwarves dragging heavy cannons and weapons, she suddenly realized that the necromancer seemed to have already determined that the dwarves would come to their aid, and therefore had placed the entire army on this inevitable road.
"what happened?"
Suddenly stopped, Flaming Copper Hammer came to Lin Xueyin's side and asked her what had happened that made her so eager to stop.
"Your Majesty, ahead, outside the forest, there are a large number of undead. I suspect that there are even undead behemoths lurking beneath our feet."
"You mean, we've already entered the encirclement of the undead?"
Before the other side could answer, the king had already ordered the dwarves to reassemble all the cannons, and the dwarven musketeers and axe-shield soldiers were fully armed and ready to attack at any time.
"Your Majesty, a large army of undead has been discovered ahead."
"Your Majesty, something unusual has been detected ahead."
Soon, the dwarven scouts reported back what they had discovered, which relieved the High King of the Dwarves, but he still felt a strong sense of curiosity and apprehension about Lin Xueyin's existence.
"How far are we from the undead army? Have they made any unusual moves?"
"We're still tens of kilometers away from the undead army. They don't seem to be making any moves; they're just waiting there. Moreover, we've discovered many huge craters in the ground. We suspect... we suspect..."
"You don't need to doubt it anymore, we already have many enemies under our feet."
As Lin Xueyin spoke, a violent tremor began beneath her feet, just like the previous two-tailed demonic scorpion. The girl, who was already prepared, then brought down a sacred greatsword from the sky, plunging it heavily into the center of the tremor.
With a muffled sound, one after another, enormous monsters appeared.
Lin Xueyin remained calm and unleashed the highest level of holy magic, Holy Sword Torrent, which brought all the giant monsters to their doom.
The dwarves were momentarily flustered by the sudden attack of the giant beast, but then they heard the High King's fearless shout.
"Warriors of the Black Iron Clan, the enemy is upon us, we..."
"Your Majesty, no! I will handle these giant beasts myself. You all prepare yourselves. I am worried that the undead army will take advantage of this moment to emerge from the underground caves and launch a sneak attack on us."
Of course, Lin Xueyin's worries did not come true; however, all those giant undead monsters were completely purified by Lin Xueyin.
The girl, slumped on the ground and held tightly in Orichils' arms, was panting heavily as Orichils gently wiped the sweat streaming down her face.
"Don't talk, just rest now. If you move around again, I'll spank your little bottom."
"Huh? That's not right. The Orichils I knew back then was so aloof. How did he become like this...?"
"Ok?"
"Um... I'm not going to say anything."
Lin Xueyin, completely at ease, covered her mouth with both hands, looking innocently at the girl before her, and quietly buried her head in the softness of her chest. Mmm, it feels so good.
Happy Christmas everyone! Hehehe. The author is off celebrating Christmas.
Volume 5: The Winged Race and the Dwarves: Chapter 25: Salvation
Although the attack by the undead behemoth was thwarted, the crisis for the Feathered Clan was not over, and they could only vaguely see a glimpse of the Sky Domain City.
The dwarf king knew this was not the time to rest, so he ordered the dwarves to continue advancing. The cannons were pushed forward, a heavy task, but for the sake of time and victory, even the loss of all the cannons would be worthwhile.
Watching the dwarves advance relentlessly, Lin Xueyin knew it would be exhausting for them. However, she wasn't a mage, so she didn't have any lightness spells. Wait, she didn't have lightness spells, but she did have Heavenly Feathers!
With difficulty, Lin Xueyin stood up and waved her staff once more, "Heavenly Feather."
As the white feathers, like those falling from heaven, landed on these heavy cannons, the dwarves felt the cannons become incredibly light.
Grateful to see the girl whose head was pressed against Orichalcos's chest, the Dwarf King raised his hand and ordered the dwarven vanguard to move toward the undead army, ready to engage in close combat with the enemy at any time.
"The Black Iron Clan, today we will risk our honor to send those filthy undead to where they belong."
"You little brat, stay put and behave yourself. If you run around again, I'll tie you up."
"Huh? Olithis, we're on the battlefield right now. If I don't go to the front lines, am I supposed to stay here?"
Speaking in the other person's arms, Lin Xueyin always felt somewhat insecure, but she couldn't break free from his grip, as if she were tied to his arms.
"Well, you... I'm a priest. Of course, priests should fight on the front lines. Is that wrong?"
"You know you're a pastor, don't you ever think about it? Your very existence as a pastor is to provide logistical support. How can you so confidently run to the front lines? Who gave you the courage?"
"Hmm, I got scolded." She blinked innocently, looking at the female elf in front of her who was indignant because she was worried about her. Lin Xueyin chuckled and helped her catch her breath. Of course, she didn't mean to take advantage of her; she just casually helped her catch her breath on her chest.
"Hmph, I can tell you know you can't do it. Stay put and I'll protect you. But you're not allowed to go to the front lines again."
"Huh? Orichils, you don't understand priests at all. Priests are powerful melee fighters. They wield iron hammers and can fight the strongest orcs in hand-to-hand combat, so..."
"So you big-headed idiot, would you dare say all this to your teacher? Would you dare? Do you really think elves don't have priests?"
Lin Xueyin, whose head was being hit hard again, could only bury her head in the other person's chest like an ostrich, letting out a mournful cry of resentment, but it did nothing to solve her current predicament.
Meanwhile, the dwarves had already come into contact with the undead army and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
"Well, now that war has broken out, can I help with the treatment?"
Hearing the sounds of fierce fighting and the clanging of weapons, Lin Xueyin's heart tightened. She was about to go out and have some more fun when the other person pulled her firmly into their arms.
"I knew you couldn't hold back. Just behave yourself and use healing spells here. Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
Lin Xueyin, who had been seen through by the other party, could only laugh helplessly and use her long-range inherited group healing to restore the warriors on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, a mage in the distance coldly watched the development of the battle, but still couldn't find the little girl who had always ruined his plans.
