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

"Damn it, why can't we break through the city yet? Put all the troops in, at all costs, we must break through a gap, enter Shining Gold City, and break the enemy's resistance."

Seeing the enemy rushing into her prepared trap like wolves seeing sheep, Lin Xueyin revealed a faint mockery on her face. Did they really think she would continue fighting them without any preparation?

Last night, I was worried that the enemy's attack on all sides would put too much pressure on the defenders. However, I thought that once one point was breached, the enemy's few remaining brain cells would get carried away and they would send their entire army to try and take the city gates.

As long as the enemy dares to commit their entire army, the pressure from the four city walls won't be so great. The main issue is that the enemy is concentrating their entire army at a single city gate, where the terrain is long and narrow. It's simply not suitable for large-scale troop deployment; once they enter, they'll be easy prey.

"What? Why isn't it over yet? Are they all dead? The city gates are breached, but we still can't take them down. Are they just playing around inside?"

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! A large number of enemies have appeared behind Shining Gold City! We... we can't hold them off!"

"What did you say? How can there be other military forces outside of Flashgold City? How is that possible?"

"Your Highness, let's retreat! The enemy is already charging in; we can't stop them. Let's retreat quickly!"

Suddenly, Lin Xueyin noticed that the enemy's formation was becoming chaotic, as if someone outside had started an attack. Just as she was wondering about this, she saw a familiar figure flash across the sky, a faint smile on his face.

"Reinforcements have arrived. All troops, launch an attack."

As the wooden wall collapsed with a crash, before the rebels could even celebrate their victory, they saw hundreds of cavalrymen rushing towards them, with the young girl leading the charge.

Lin Xueyin flicked her staff forward, and a beam of holy light exploded at the enemy's feet, creating gaps in the dense formation in that instant.

"My soldiers, follow me and kill..."

Volume VI The Rebellion of Pankol: Chapter Twenty-Three A Great Victory Over the Rebels

With the sudden arrival of reinforcements, Lin Xueyin led the city's troops to launch a counterattack. Caught off guard, the rebels' morale plummeted, and soon their spirits crumbled. There were even instances of surrender, chaos, and trampling on the battlefield.

"Surrender and you will not be killed."

Waving her staff, Lin Xueyin let out a loud, sweet cry, which seemed to give the still chaotic rebels a sense of direction. They dropped their weapons, covered their heads, and squatted on the ground.

Lin Xueyin ignored the surrendered soldiers and rode away. The surrendered soldiers were so frightened by this scene that they hid on both sides and made way for the cavalry. In the end, the crisis in Shanjin City was resolved.

The crisis on one side may be over, but the situation on the other side could be completely different. The ups and downs of life are truly within reach. Lockdock knows all too well the feeling of going from heaven to hell in a second.

Just now, just moments ago, I was in the lead, and could have breached the city walls and captured that despicable woman at any moment. But the next second, I was utterly defeated, chased around like a defeated rooster, jumping up and down with nowhere to escape.

“You, you come back with me. I don’t believe it. I have tens of thousands of soldiers, while they only have ten thousand. How could I possibly lose? How could I possibly lose?”

"Your Highness, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. When we return this time, we will raise a large army again and we will definitely be able to take over this Shanjin City. At that time, we will capture that Lin Xueyin alive, and you can do whatever you want with her."

"Back then, what business was it of mine back then, damn it."

Seeing the enemy advancing in overwhelming numbers, their morale soaring and their fighting spirit soaring, Lockdak felt truly frustrated in this battle. He had thought the opponent was a cuckoo rabbit, but unexpectedly, she turned out to be the Sun-Destroying Sky-Eating Rabbit. The difference was just too great.

Lockdak was filled with resentment, but didn't know how to express it. "Let's go. We will repay this humiliation a thousandfold in the future."

Seeing that their prince had finally agreed to retreat, these people breathed a sigh of relief. They vowed never to come to the Golden Territory again. This place was not a place ravaged by plague, but a den of dragons and tigers.

As Lockdak and his men retreated, the rebel army on the battlefield collapsed, with most of them losing the will to fight and surrendering. Orichils killed one of the rebels who was about to ambush Lin Xueyin with an arrow.

Raising an eyebrow at the girl who seemed a bit lax on the battlefield, he made a "fool" gesture, then continued to lead the soldiers behind him in pursuit. Meanwhile, the maca in the sky landed on the route the rebels were taking, displaying an imposing presence.

His cold eyes were fixed on the rebels who had no will to fight. His hands unleashed a burst of fighting spirit through his claws, and all the rebels who tried to charge forward were cut in half at the waist.

With the deaths of these dozens of soldiers, the rebels behind them retreated in unison, looking at each other but not daring to step out of the way again.

"Everyone, there are so many of us, are we afraid of just one woman? Let's charge together, I don't believe... um..."

A sleazy man who had just been hiding in the crowd, trying to incite them to rush forward, now lay helplessly on the ground, clutching the neck pierced by a white feather-shaped throwing knife.

The rebels retreated in unison, staring at the dead man before them, no longer daring to make a move. Soon, when the army of the Gold-Blooded Territory charged over, the rebels, who had long lost their will to fight, dropped their weapons.

With their weapons discarded, a great weight was lifted from their hearts. Who would want to die if they could live, especially these people who had betrayed the empire, who were already very guilty?

"Little girl, you dare to be distracted on the battlefield? You probably don't understand what a sneak attack is."

Orichalos gave Lin Xueyin a hard knock on the head as she was about to pounce on him, making her pout and squat on the ground, glaring at him with dissatisfaction. Orichalos remained unmoved.

"If it weren't for my arrow, you'd probably be lying in bed regretting it."

"Hmph, no way! I, I'm a priest, I can heal myself." Lin Xueyin was unwilling to be told that by the other party, but after seeing her stern eyes, she still carefully shrank her neck. Her cute appearance did not shake Orichils in the slightest.

"Alright, Orichalos, there's no need to be so harsh. Yukine won't be going to the battlefield easily in the future, so let's not talk about her like that."

"Hmph, Maca, you're just going to keep defending her like this. She'll never know what danger is. Let's see what you do when something really happens."

Looking at Lin Xueyin, who was looking at him pitifully, Orichils softened a little. "Alright, let's go. This is a great victory, and the rebels should retreat. However, we still have to worry about them making a comeback."

"Tch, I was prepared all along. Didn't you notice that Arya is gone?"

He spoke as if he were asking for credit, but then he saw Olihirs' eyes grow even more stern.

"You said you sent Aria to find reinforcements?"

"Yes, I told her to take the antidote to the Empire's suppression army, and then to hurry back to the capital. I'm worried that there might be demons causing trouble, and I hope they can make preparations in advance..."

"Are you an idiot? Don't you know how far this place is from the territory of Mofar? Do you know how many enemy territories we have to pass through? If something goes wrong, do you know what kind of blow you will face?"

“I…I believe in Arya, I believe she can bring hope, just as I believe in you.”

The resolute gaze and firm tone made Olihirs pause for a moment, then he could only smile bitterly, "You, do you know that you are also putting your friend in danger? If something goes wrong, do you know what will happen to her?"

Seeing Lin Xueyin's bewildered face, Orichils knew that she must not have imagined that being surrounded by enemies, alone on horseback, required a great deal of courage.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I, I..."

It seemed she had realized something; she was still too inexperienced. She thought it was something she could do as soon as she opened her mouth, but she didn't know that with such a long distance and no supplies outside, how could she possibly rush out alone?

"Alright, let's leave it to fate. I think Aria definitely won't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that Lin Xueyin's expression was very strange, and the sudden violence made Orichalos somewhat frightened.

“It’s alright, because if anything happens to Arya, I will make the entire rebel army pay the price.”

Volume VI Pankor's Rebellion: Chapter Twenty-Four Celebration

It seemed like a fleeting display of violence, but it left a deep impression on Orichils. He exchanged a glance with Maca beside him, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes.

I always thought she was a harmless little girl, but I never imagined that she might be hiding some kind of ferocious beast inside her.

"Orihirs, Orihirs? Hey, hey, what's wrong with you guys?"

"Ah, it's nothing, I was just thinking about something else." Putting her worries aside, she continued, "Xueyin, since it was such a great victory, let's celebrate first."

"I...I'm a little worried..."

"Alright, that's not something you should be thinking about right now. Take a good look around you; what they need right now is a good, unrestrained celebration."

Looking at the people around her who were excitedly cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Xueyin understood that after a great battle, they also needed to relax to return to reality and release the tension and violence of the war.

As they moved forward slowly, the staff held high once again shone with a sacred light. "Long live Sima! Long live the King! We have won!"

Although this phrase differed from the previous victory celebrations, it further excited the already exhilarated warriors: "Long live Sima! Long live the King! Victory... Victory..."

Looking at the weapons raised high by the crowd, and then at the dejected look on the faces of the prisoners around them, Orichils and his companion exchanged glances and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"That girl is really not to be underestimated."

On one burning bonfire after another, various edible animals were roasted, while the people around them stared intently at the meat that was already oozing oil, swallowing their saliva repeatedly.

"Everyone, today's great victory is largely due to your contributions. I would like to thank you all here."

On the high platform, the young girl raised her wine glass and shouted to the people below watching the meat being eaten over the bonfire, "Let us first toast all the martyrs who died on the battlefield, to tell them that their sacrifice was not in vain. We protected our freedom, our loved ones, and our homeland. Cheers..."

She raised her glass, drank deeply, and as the strong liquor went down her throat, the girl lowered her head and covered her mouth with her sleeve to stop coughing, which made the crowd below laugh good-naturedly.

"Come on, the second glass, to ourselves, to our comrades who fought bravely against the enemy, cheers..."

After drinking it again, a faint blush appeared on the girl's pretty face, causing those around her to stare in a daze.

"The third toast is to our nation. May the empire prosper, and may humanity live ten thousand years. Cheers..."

After three cups, Lin Xueyin's mind was completely muddled. She had no idea how to continue speaking. Her vision was blurry, and her body was swaying slightly, but she was determined to stand up.

"Now, everyone, please feel free to enjoy the fruits of peace that we have earned with our own hands."

As she uttered the last words she could think of, Lin Xueyin felt a soft, full body embrace her from behind.

"Xueyin, you've had too much to drink."

He opened his eyes in a daze, looking vaguely at the girl in front of him whose face he couldn't see clearly. With a sob in his voice, he slowly placed his hand on the girl's blurry face.

"Nana, is that you? I miss you so much, but where have you gone? Why can't I find you anywhere?"

"Xueyin, you've had too much to drink, you should rest." Although it was strange to hear this unfamiliar name coming from her mouth, one could tell from her face how important the owner of this name was to her.

"I'm not drunk, I'm not! Nana, where did you go? It's so dangerous outside! Why does everyone have to keep killing each other? Why can't we just calm down and talk things out? Why does war have to break out? Why do we have to fight to the death? Why does the Demon King have to make this continent a river of blood?"

"I really want to ask that demon king why he has to do this. I really want to capture that demon king and beat him up so he knows what he has done that is so outrageous."

"Alright, little girl, go back and rest."

Looking at the girl with a mixture of amusement and pity, I realized that she was probably under much more tension and pressure than others. Back then, I and Maca had gone out to investigate and found many suspicious places, so we didn't come back in time, and she ended up in this situation.

Later, after arriving in Lamo County, they learned that Xueyin had already arrived in Goldshire. Just as they were about to set off to join the rebellion, they heard about the rebellion in Panco territory. They knew that Goldshire would definitely be attacked, so they sent people to other county cities for help.

Everyone was grateful for Lin Xueyin's help and spontaneously organized their troops. Maca went ahead, using her flying advantage to continuously report the enemy's situation. Meanwhile, he led his troops to Flashgold City in a timely manner.

The little girl, who had been making a ruckus just moments before, had now quieted down. Olihirs looked down and saw a sleeping face, a faint blush that added an extra touch of pink to her already delicate features.

Seeing the lively scene below, Orichalcos carried Lin Xueyin in his arms and took her to her tent.

While there was a joyous and lively scene on one side, a completely different picture emerged on the other. When Lofix heard the news that his son had been defeated in front of Goldshire, he was so enraged that he smashed his favorite vase on the ground.

"That idiot couldn't even take down a small city like Goldshire. What use is such an idiot to me? What use is he to me?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps there is some special reason. After all, he is a prince. Please be lenient with him."

"Hmph, if he weren't my only son, I would have killed him long ago. Flashgold City absolutely cannot stand alone behind us. If problems arise, we might be attacked from both sides. That's absolutely unacceptable."

Lofix quickly turned his attention to the Goldshire, whose importance could not be ignored, and he wanted to resolve the Goldshire problem as quickly as possible.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and his slightly furrowed brows quickly led him to a decision. "Go and call Felix here. Tell him I have an important task for him."

"yes.."

Watching the departing man's back, Lofix's face revealed a ferocious expression. Since it couldn't become his territory, he might as well destroy it completely. A war maniac could easily destroy a territory.
