Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

"Does it take you a long time to complete the campaign?"

The two exchanged a knowing smile. Esdeath seemed quite pleased with Lin Yu's trust in her, and a pleasant smile curved her lips.

Time flew by, and on the outskirts of the capital, the two armies met. To Lin Yu's surprise, this expedition was not led by just one general, Esdeath.

"No matter what, isn't this a bit too much of a show of force?"

Lin Yu was quite surprised. The alien tribes in the southwest only had tens of thousands of troops at most. In addition to the 120,000 troops sent earlier, they actually sent two more generals, including Esdeath, as well as 100,000 reinforcements. Including these 100,000 troops, the empire actually dispatched more than 200,000 troops for the alien tribes in the southwest!

"The Empire's order is to completely subjugate the foreign tribes in the southwest. After all, I am just a newcomer, so it's normal for me to be uneasy."

Esdeath was confident but never arrogant. She was well aware of her own importance in the Empire. Although she had demonstrated amazing strength and military leadership this year, she was still relatively inexperienced, which was why she sent another general to assist her.

"I wonder who it could be."

Lin Yu felt a sense of anticipation. After all, he used to be a homebody, and he was quite excited to meet a character from anime in real life, especially since he didn't know who the other person was.

Da-da, da-da.

The sound of horses' hooves rang out, and to Lin Yu's expectant gaze, a spirited woman with a silver-white ponytail appeared before him. In this world, it was not uncommon for women to join the army, but very few could become generals at such a young age, at most around the same age as Lin Yu.

In Lin Yu's memory, only two people had accomplished this. Esdeath was one of them, and the other was named Najenda!

"It's Najenda?"

Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise, while Esdeath cast a puzzled look at him.

"Why can't it be her? Do you know her?"

Upon hearing Esdeath's words, Lin Yu suppressed his surprise and coughed lightly.

"It's nothing, I just heard about her. She's a rising star who's on par with you, Esdeath!"

Although they are said to be on par, Najenda has actually been in the military for several years. Of course, she can't compare to Esdeath, who was promoted to general after only one battle. However, they are both women and their promotions were very rapid, so they are put together.

"I see."

Esdeath nodded. There was indeed such a saying in the capital, and it was normal for Lin Yu to pay attention to someone who was on par with her. Therefore, Esdeath did not ask any further questions.

"General Najenda, I hope this will be a pleasant hunt."

Esdeath and Najenda had clearly met before, so Esdeath greeted Najenda familiarly as she rode up on horseback.

"A hunt? I hope it goes well."

Unlike Esdeath, Najenda clearly takes this crackdown very seriously.

"After all, this is an enemy that has caused the Imperial Expeditionary Force, which has ten times the strength of our troops, a great deal of trouble. It's better to take it seriously."

If Esdeath is an aggressive type who always launches attacks with confidence, then Najenda is a steady and methodical type. Both have their own strengths, and it's hard to say who is better or worse. It's just that Esdeath's strength is enough to support her aggressive style.

"Well, it's better to get going first."

Lin Yu strolled over leisurely, his arms propped up on his head. Although he was nominally Esdeath's subordinate, Esdeath didn't take him seriously at all. After all, even though she had obtained the Imperial Arm, she still lost in the battle a year ago.

Who is this?

Najenda looked at Lin Yu with suspicion. She had heard of Esdeath's military prowess; her fighting strength and discipline were astonishing. She had even heard that people in Esdeath's army died every day due to the high intensity of training. It was unbelievable that someone like Lin Yu, who seemed to be going on a leisurely outing, would appear in such an army.

"His name is Lin Yu. Although he is considered my subordinate, he probably won't take my orders. Just pretend he doesn't exist."

Esdeath's explanation only made Najenda more curious about Lin Yu. Although she wasn't very familiar with Esdeath, she knew very well what kind of personality this young general had. How could someone like her tolerate a useless person in her army? Could this person be a relative of a minister?

"Then let's set off!"

Although she was a little curious, Najenda didn't ask any more questions since business was more important. There was still a long way to go!

Two hundred thousand troops set off in a grand procession. The Empire's determination to suppress the rebellion was beyond doubt. Therefore, Esdeath and Najenda did not have much time. It would be too wasteful to waste it on the journey.

The two agreed on the need for an expedited march, but their reasons differed greatly. Najenda was only concerned that it would take time to adapt to the environment upon reaching the southwestern border, and it would not be worthwhile to waste too much time on the journey. Esdeath's thoughts were even simpler; she simply wanted to get to the battlefield as quickly as possible, nothing more!

In this world, generals are always the ones leading the charge, so Esdeath and Najenda naturally walked at the forefront during the march. Lin Yu, being a free agent, stayed with them; he had no interest in being with the men behind them. "How boring! A dangerous species would be nice!"

Sitting on horseback the whole way, Lin Yu felt like his body was about to be shaken apart. Riding a horse for a long time was definitely not a pleasant experience. Lin Yu would rather fly all the way. After all, his power of existence was so great that the consumption of flying was just a drop in the ocean.

"If you're really bored, how about we have a fight?"

Esdeath revealed a playful smile, looking at Lin Yu provocatively. She hadn't lost since the great battle a year ago. After all, if Lin Yu didn't activate the Flame of Sin, he was almost always completely crushed by Esdeath. The experience of being ambushed after the last battle also made both of them more restrained, so they didn't fight to the point of exhaustion.

So here's the problem: Lin Yu's true strength is indeed stronger than Esdeath's, but that's only possible after he activates the Flame of Sin. In his normal state, even if he activates the Eye of Calamity, he'd still be the one getting beaten up. So he rejects Esdeath's provocations like this; he doesn't want to be trained into a masochist by Esdeath!

The event ends tomorrow night at 23 PM. The list of selected participants will be announced in tomorrow night's update, so those who want to receive a red envelope should hurry! Tomorrow night, those selected only need to send me a screenshot of their Qidian account and a screenshot of their full subscription to receive the red envelope!

234. Combat Special-Class Dangerous Species [Two-in-One]

"Absolutely not!"

Lin Yu righteously refused Esdeath's challenge. He didn't want to ask for trouble. The two of them fought once a week. Although Lin Yu's strength was constantly increasing from being beaten, he would rather not take the initiative to be beaten. What if he awakened some amazing attribute?

"Does Lin Yu have the strength to fight General Esdeath?"

Najenda was a little curious. Lin Yu didn't seem to have much strength. Although Esdeath's strength hadn't reached the level of the Empire's strongest yet, it was far beyond that of an ordinary general. Only a general-level person could fight her!

"It's barely passable, although I always get beaten up."

Lin Yu was full of resentment. Every battle with him had almost become a form of entertainment for Esdeath. Compared to Lin Yu, Esdeath's talent in manipulating ice was far more terrifying. At least Lin Yu couldn't keep up with Esdeath's pace at all when fighting. He had never even thought that ice could have so many uses!

"Ok?"

As the three were chatting, they almost simultaneously sensed something rapidly approaching. In just a moment, a group of dangerous creatures that looked like wolves but had the size of elephants appeared on both sides of the army, showing no fear even when facing an army of 100,000!

"The high-level dangerous species, Davida? Usually, the leader can even reach the special level, and they are also social dangerous species!"

Esdeath became somewhat excited. The march was extremely boring, and not only Lin Yu couldn't stand it, but she couldn't either.

"We must eliminate them as soon as possible! Otherwise, it may cause unnecessary losses."

The advanced dangerous species have exceeded the limits of what ordinary soldiers can handle. If left unattended, they may suffer huge casualties. Moreover, the leaders of these groups have even reached the special level, and only general-level combat power can contend with them.

Moreover, this group has an even greater characteristic: they excel at collective action and, when working together, are even willing to gang up on other extremely dangerous species! This is why these dangerous species dare to approach even when facing a large army.

"Then let's begin the hunt! The Three Beasts and I will take the left flank, and Najenda, you can handle the right flank!"

Esdeath licked her lips, finished speaking, and left with the three beast warriors she had already subdued. Her demeanor was exactly as she had said; for her, this was just a hunt!

"Tsk tsk, then I'll go with you, General Najenda. Anyway, judging from her expression, she probably doesn't need me."

Lin Yu shrugged. He had no interest in torturing his prey. Whenever Esdeath went hunting, he would at most watch, neither stopping her nor really approving of it. This time, he might as well just go with Najenda.

"That's troublesome."

Najeta hesitated slightly. She didn't know how strong Lin Yu was, and besides, Lin Yu wasn't one of her people. If something happened to him, she wouldn't know how to explain it.

However, considering that Lin Yu was able to fight Esdeath, his strength must not be too different, so after hesitating for a moment, he agreed.

Lin Yu smiled and didn't say much. He knew Najenda was worried, but he only needed to explain with his actions. So Lin Yu immediately spurred his horse and charged towards the right flank.

Seeing this, Najenda quickly led her two Imperial Arms users to follow. These Dangerous Beasts were very cunning, and if they were surrounded, even she could be in danger.

"Onii-chan, please use me as you please!"

Tina's soft, cute voice echoed in his mind, but Lin Yu refused.

"As for these beasts, you don't need to take action, Tina."

Tina dislikes killing at heart, so Lin Yu doesn't like using her in battle unless absolutely necessary. His ice sword is enough to deal with these weak but dangerous creatures!

Click!

Ice crystals quickly condensed into a longsword in her hand, startling Najenda who was following behind.

"He manipulates the power of ice... Is he also a Teigu user? And it's the same type of Teigu as Esdeath's?"

Najenda didn't know exactly how strong Esdeath was, but she knew that Esdeath could manipulate ice to fight. She didn't expect that the person who was by Esdeath's side could also manipulate ice. The two's attributes were quite compatible.

"careful!"

A dark figure darted through the dense forest. Najenda quickly warned him, but she soon realized her warning was unnecessary.

call out!

The enormous yet incredibly agile dangerous creature lunged at Lin Yu, who was at the forefront, but Lin Yu swung his sword while the creature was still far away.

"His combat experience is so poor?!"

Najenda had initially held a sliver of hope for Lin Yu, but his performance disappointed her greatly; he seemed like an ordinary person fighting for the first time!

"This is troublesome."

Even though she immediately raised her gun-shaped Imperial Arm 'Pumpkin', she knew in her heart that it was too late to fire. Just as Najenda was racking her brains about how to explain things to Esdeath when she got back, an unexpected scene unfolded before her eyes.

Click!

Lin Yu's seemingly misjudgment and premature sword strike created a layer of icy blue mist in the air. This inconspicuous mist condensed instantly upon contact with the air, freezing the wolf-like dangerous species Davida in mid-air just as he pounced!

With just a seemingly insignificant swing of her sword, she froze a high-level dangerous species. This feat made Najenda realize that she had misjudged it!

"Very strong. Such accurate judgment cannot be achieved overnight. His strength probably far exceeds my expectations!"

Najenda was slightly alarmed. Lin Yu's strength was already beyond her comprehension, so how strong would the even stronger Esdeath be?

Najenda really wanted to go to the other side to see the scene of Esdeath's battle, but reason made her give up the idea. Right now, eliminating these dangerous species was the primary goal.

One step behind means another step behind. Although Lin Yu was only a step ahead of Najenda, being at the forefront made him seem to be the primary target of these dangerous species.

Lin Yu easily defused each attack. No matter how these dangerous species tried to ambush him, Lin Yu was able to freeze them. The journey was almost like an ice sculpture exhibition. The dangerous species that wanted to attack Lin Yu were eventually wrapped in ice crystals in various forms. They did not die immediately, but they could not breathe after being frozen and would probably suffocate to death soon.

As for breaking free from the ice crystals' restraints, that's impossible. The ice crystals that Lin Yu condensed with his power of existence are not so easy to break free from. Perhaps only a special-grade dangerous species could do it, while these high-grade dangerous species don't have that ability.

"Still alive?"

Najenda frowned slightly. If these dangerous creatures broke free of the ice crystals' restraints, it would be a troublesome matter. So she could only sigh inwardly and silently 'finish off' Lin Yu.

But her eyes widened after she fired her first shot.

"How could this be? The pumpkin couldn't even penetrate that ice crystal? Just how hard must that ice crystal be?!"

Although Najenda only fired a shot casually, it was still an attack from an Imperial Arm!

Najenda's gaze toward Lin Yu became increasingly complicated.

Because of Lin Yu, the battle on the right went surprisingly smoothly. Najenda and her Imperial Arms users were all dealt with by Lin Yu before they even had a chance to make a move.

Lin Yu, unlike Esdeath, didn't enjoy the thrill of battle. He participated in this battle merely to pass the time, as a form of leisure and entertainment. However, he soon found himself unable to maintain this mindset.

"Looks like I've won the lottery!"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. In front of him, a giant wolf with a body entirely of silver-white was staring at him with cold eyes. Clearly, this was the leader of the Davida clan—a special-grade dangerous species!
