Volume 6 The Rebellion of Pankor: Chapter 25 A Peaceful Daily Life
On the blood-red plain, the purple-haired girl struggled to raise her eyes, looking at the ferocious enemies surging towards her in the distance. She gently closed her eyes, as if she had completely given up resisting. The flashing blade light, accompanied by the sound of wind tearing through the air, slashed down towards the neck of the girl who was no longer able to resist.
"Nana..."
As the blade touched her body, her pair of bright blue eyes widened in shock. The girl sat up in a panic, looking at the familiar surroundings, her small, white hands gently covering her forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.
"Was it a dream? I don't know why I would suddenly have such a dream."
Lin Xueyin shook her slightly confused head and wanted to get out of bed to get a glass of water to calm her restlessness.
"Yukine, Yukine, what happened?"
They rushed in hurriedly, and when they saw the girl holding a cup and about to drink water, they breathed a sigh of relief. The panicked sounds they had just heard inside had made them rush in with bated breath.
"I... I'm fine, I just had a nightmare." Lin Xueyin scratched her head shyly, but also seemed a little confused.
"I remember you should live some distance from me, why did you suddenly come here?"
"You still say that? If I hadn't heard your panicked screams, I wouldn't have bothered coming here so late." Orichils glanced at the little girl with annoyance. So it turned out she had just had a nightmare.
"Uh, I, I, wait a minute, how did you hear my scream? How could you hear me from that far away?"
They exchanged an awkward glance. Orichils took a small, inconspicuous insect from Lin Xueyin's bed and said, "This is a sound-collecting insect unique to our elven rangers. Although it's not very useful, it can collect sound and transmit it to me in time."
"Huh? Does that mean you can hear whatever I say here?"
Lin Xueyin looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief and even anger. "This is illegal surveillance. This is a violation of human rights. This is immoral, shameless, despicable, and hateful..."
"Xueyin, we're worried about you too. After all, we all have a responsibility to protect you. Sometimes we need to use special methods, and we hope you can understand that."
Maca was so excited to see Lin Xueyuan that her hands and feet were trembling. She simply couldn't bear to see the girl behaving so rudely.
"Well, you should have told me first, right? What if I said something I shouldn't have?"
Raising their eyebrows slightly, Orichalcos and Maca asked in unison, "Is there anything you shouldn't tell us?"
Lin Xueyin remained silent for a long time, but it seemed that there was nothing she shouldn't have said to the other party. However, no matter what, she still felt that something was wrong. At this moment, she was interrupted by Olihirs' words.
"Xueyin, shouldn't you tell me who this Nana you're talking about is?"
"Huh? You... how do you know about Nana? How could you eavesdrop on my private matters?"
"Eavesdropping? Do I need to eavesdrop? You were drunk last night, clinging to me and crying and shouting things like, 'Nana, don't leave you alone, I miss her so much.' And you're saying I was eavesdropping?"
Huh? She thought about it awkwardly, but only had a tiny bit of memory of what happened last night. It seemed that there really was such a thing. Her face instantly turned red.
Orichalos and Maca seemed to notice the white gas suddenly appearing above Lin Xueyin's head, and they exchanged a knowing smile. "Xueyin, we have other things to do. You should rest a bit more."
"Hmm, you guys hurry up and go, hurry up and go."
She turned over and lay face down on the bed, covering her head with a pillow, and made shy, whimpering sounds.
"Let's go, we still have a lot to do today."
Seeing that Maca seemed about to make a few more teasing remarks, Orichils was worried that the girl might get angry later, so he laughed and pulled her out. In the end, he even considerately pulled up the tent for her and left the embarrassed girl inside.
"Get out of here right now, get as far away as you can."
Hearing the angry voices inside, the two exchanged a smile, then turned and left, glancing back at the respectful smiles of everyone they encountered along the way. They walked into the city, talking and laughing.
The people around looked at the closed tent with unconscious reverence. How could they not feel respect for the fact that they had achieved such a great victory and protected their homeland despite being outnumbered?
But what they didn't know was that the girl they respected was actually pounding her pillow against the headboard, muttering to herself, "I'll kill you two big bastards, just die already."
In Panco territory, a majestic figure emerged from the main gate of the capital city. Lofix stood atop the city wall, watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, his expression revealing a hint of tension.
"Your Majesty, Lord Felix is sure to have a successful campaign, so why are you so nervous?"
“I’m not worried that Felix won’t be able to take down the Goldshire. I’m just worried that this defeat will cause unrest in other territories. If they rebel against us at a critical moment, we will really be doomed.”
The city walls were tinged red in the twilight. Lofix stared intently into the distance. He had made a deal with those people, hoping they would keep their promise and help him establish his own independent territory. As for directly replacing the empire, he really didn't have that kind of ambition.
Once he could establish a firm foothold and sign a contract with the demons, he could truly rest easy. Thinking of their promises, a surge of excitement coursed through him; his ambition to become the ruler of a nation never faded.
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Those people will surely submit to your rule willingly. There is no need to worry."
"Haha, you're good at saying nice things. Do you think I don't know what's going on over there? But right now they're still ravaged by the plague, and they probably don't have the ability to resist at all. As long as we quickly wipe out the Gold Territory, we don't need to worry about it anymore."
With his black cloak billowing as he turned, Lofix slowly walked towards his palace. As long as the plague kept the imperial army at bay, they would not be able to enter. And his collaborators were probably almost ready. The initiative was still firmly in his hands.
Thank you so much to @西河·索菲亚·苏 for the generous donation, I am deeply grateful.
Volume VI: The Rebellion of Panko: Chapter Twenty-Six: The Peaceful City of Gold
Under a clear blue sky, a gentle breeze caressed people's faces, a soothing sensation that made one feel captivated. Everyone was striving to make a living.
Having just emerged from a major battle, Gold City was in dire need of reconstruction. Everyone was working together to restore it, and even Lin Xueyin had voluntarily joined in, despite the fact that the people of Gold City didn't want her to overwork herself.
"Pastor Lin, why don't you rest for a while? We can do it ourselves here." Seeing some young and strong men dismantling the wooden wall and arranging the materials neatly, Lin Xueyin was about to help, but was refused.
An approachable nobleman, a priest who led them to victory and prevented them from being enslaved by the rebels—they respected her from the bottom of their hearts. Their respect for her reached its peak, especially when they later wished to address her as priest instead of baron.
"I just wanted to help you carry it, is that not allowed?"
Blinking her eyes, looking somewhat aggrieved, suddenly made these men feel a sense of guilt as if they had committed a heinous crime. However, considering the pastor's delicate and frail appearance, they decided it was best not to let her do such strenuous work and hardened their hearts.
"Pastor Lin, this is all hard work. Why don't you go over there and take a look? I remember the Panlinkos family is feeding their livestock. You can go and see them."
"Huh? Really? I'll go check it out right now."
Watching the girl skip away, the man suddenly felt a hostile gaze from those around him. He suddenly remembered that this girl was a baron, a baron who was well-liked by everyone. Wasn't he just asking for trouble by giving her directions to do chores?
"Kid, not bad. Today, take down all the logs here and stack them neatly. Keep up the good work!"
Pointing to a wooden wall that hadn't been started yet, there were at least a hundred logs inside. They'd all been given to him. Could we take back what we said earlier?
Watching Lin Xueyin's departing figure, the man let out a mournful wail, but it didn't elicit any pity from those around him. The only reason he hadn't tied you to the wooden wall and hung you up all day was because he was afraid the pastor would see you.
"Aunt Panlinkos, is there anything I can help you with?"
Inside the fence, a middle-aged woman who was feeding many chicks heard this light and somewhat delicate voice and quickly turned around, only to see the cute little girl standing prettily behind her.
"Pastor Lin, what brings you here?"
"Um, Aunt Panlinkos, I'd like to come here to help you with something. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Oh dear, my little girl, this is no place for you. Go back and rest. When Auntie has some eggs and meat, I'll bring them over for you to enjoy."
. . . . . .
Looking at Aunt Panlinkos who had pushed her out, Lin Xueyin felt wronged. She really didn't want to stay there anymore. After moving from the tent to the city lord's mansion, she had truly entered into the lifestyle of an aristocrat.
Although the war is not over, the luxurious lifestyle inside remains. The main point is that this lifestyle is directed at them. Even if they protest and say that it is wrong, they still do as they please.
Among them, there's that pair...
"Sister Lin, what are you doing here?"
A soft, delicate voice that sent shivers down Lin Xueyin's spine rang out behind her, but it brought a look of relief to Aunt Panlinkos's face.
"Lilia, you've come here to get something. Here are today's eggs and some meat. Take them."
"Hey? Lilia, you guys are all so busy right now, how can I always be so extravagant as to eat meat and eggs? Don't do this."
"Pastor Lin, we can still afford to cater to your small appetite. Besides, you are a baron. If others knew that there was no meat on your table, it would be a disgrace to your noble dignity."
"No, what kind of nobleman am I? I'm just a priest. Aunt Panlinkos, please don't give me such special treatment. Besides, I'm here to help out..."
Lin Xueyin accidentally let slip that thick black gas was emanating from her little maid's body.
"Sister Lin, are you here to help out?"
"Ah, well, haha, Lilia, you go ahead with your work, I'll go somewhere else..."
"Stop right there, Sister Lin! You came outside to help us, are you looking down on us?" The little girl looked pitifully at the older sister who had been helping her all along, her face brimming with tears.
She had worked very hard, even learning how to serve nobles from the maids in the city lord's mansion, so how could she secretly run away and think about being busy outside? Wasn't that implying that she hadn't done her job properly?
"Huh? Lilia, no, that's not what I meant. I just thought it was too boring to stay in the city lord's mansion, so I thought of coming out to help everyone."
It's not that it's because these two girls are watching me too closely and won't let me do some fun things; they're clearly trying to mold me into a high-society lady, which isn't suitable for me at all.
"Well, isn't it because we always ask you to learn aristocratic etiquette and habits?"
She choked, and although she didn't know what her expression looked like, Lin Xueyin could tell from the other person's knowing look that she had dug a big hole for herself.
Sure enough, the little girl's eyes filled with glistening tears, which dripped all over her face as Lin Xueyin frantically tried to stop them.
Sobbing, she wiped the tears from her face with her little hands, "Sister Lin, please don't ignore Lilia. I just heard the older sisters say that nobles should act like nobles, and I hope you are perfect too. Sister Lin, please don't be angry with Lilia, and don't abandon her."
What should I do if I made a cute little girl cry? I need help urgently! However, she can't be online right now. But Aunt Panlinkos has been through this before, so she naturally knows what to do in this situation.
Seeing Lin Xueyin's flustered state, she shook her head with amusement and placed her hand on the head of the crying Lilia to comfort her.
“Lilia is so cute, how could Sister Lin not like you? Look, Sister Lin will be going back with you in a little while, right, Pastor Lin?”
At this point, could I say it was wrong? Seeing the little girl still sobbing, Lin Xueyin could only nod helplessly, take her rough little hand, and walk towards the city lord's mansion.
I still have a soft heart. But seeing this little girl who should have been living a quiet, harmonious life, loved by her family, now having nowhere to go and having to rely on her sister for survival, even though there are many things I'm not used to, I still feel a lot of pity for her.
Volume 6 The Rebellion of Panko: Chapter 27 The War Maniacs Strikes
Standing in front of the huge map, Lin Xueyin ate the meat soup that Ariel had personally cooked for her while carefully examining the jagged territorial boundaries on the map.
Strange, why is there no unusual activity from the Imperial Army? And the situation in Panco Territory is even more bizarre. Despite being in a position where they could launch a surprise attack from behind, Panco Territory has not taken any action.
"Could it be that the Imperial Army has taken action in other directions?" After thinking for a moment, he shook his head helplessly. Under these circumstances, splitting up the troops would only give the enemy the opportunity to defeat them one by one. The enemy would not dare to send out troops casually because the disparity in military strength was too great. Once they came out, they would lose their own shield and have their manpower devoured by the enemy.
So the question is, what is Pan Keling up to? Why isn't he sending troops? Does he know that his side is already prepared, leaving them unable to defend themselves on both sides?
It's so annoying. The enemy sends troops, and then the Imperial Army uses its own antidote to launch a massive attack, overwhelming the enemy and directly penetrating the Panco territory. This way, the other two territories probably won't have the courage to participate in the rebellion anymore. As for the troops left behind, unless they are die-hard loyalists, they are unlikely to choose to fight the Imperial Army to the death.
At that time, the strategy is to capture the leader first. Once the enemy dares to send troops, there will be a large gap, which will give this suppression a chance, a chance to succeed in one fell swoop.
"Sister Lin, you'd better have some bread with this meat soup. Mine is a bit too salty."
"Pfft...cough cough...Why didn't you say so earlier? I thought it was soup to drink directly." While enjoying Lilia gently wiping the soup from the corner of her lips with her slightly calloused but still soft hands, the smile on her face didn't seem very pleasant.
"Sister Lin, drink slowly, there's no rush."
Lin Xueyin really wanted to say that it wasn't because she drank too fast, but then she thought it would be too embarrassing to say it, so she happily agreed with the other person's statement.
