The Chosen of Slaanesh in Infinite Worlds

Adams was one of the new recruits. His young face was a little immature, but his eyes were full of desire for the future. Of course, he joined the army for the generous silver coin salary. In this war-torn era, silver coins were not only a guarantee of life, but also the only way for him to realize his dream.

In the past, Adams had stood on the ridge of a field and watched the veterans training from afar. Their vigorous posture and neat steps made him yearn for it. However, when he actually stepped into the barracks and began to receive strict military training, he found that everything was not as simple as he had imagined.

After breakfast, the sun had become scorching hot, and the recruits were taken to the playground to begin their first formal training. Standing at attention before lunch was a nightmare for Adams. He had to stand there straight like a pole, unable to move. Sweat slid down his forehead, dripped onto the ground beneath his feet, and evaporated without a trace in an instant. If it weren't for the fragrant braised pork and white rice, he would have fallen to the ground from exhaustion. Whenever he felt overwhelmed and wanted to give up, he would think of his elderly parents and young sister at home. Their expectant eyes seemed to be right in front of him, forcing him to grit his teeth and hold on.

Finally, the lunch whistle blew, and the recruits collapsed on the ground with a sense of relief. Adams looked at his companions who did not persist and cast envious eyes at him during lunch, and he was still very satisfied. The taste of the braised pork and white rice seemed to be the most delicious food he had ever eaten in his life. He felt that this little bit of hard work was worth it, at least he did not disappoint himself or his family.

However, the afternoon training was even more difficult. The sun was scorching the earth like fire, and the recruits were required to wear heavy armor and run five kilometers. Although the armor could protect them from harm on the battlefield, it became their biggest burden at the moment. Adams felt as if his shoulders were pressed by two mountains, and every step was extremely difficult. His breathing became rapid, and his heartbeat was like a drum, echoing in his ears.

With a "bang", another person fell down beside him. Adams didn't know how many people had given up. He looked at them sitting on the ground, gasping for breath, with a look of unwillingness in their eyes. He knew that they, like him, came here for the generous military pay and to be able to survive in this chaotic world. However, at this moment, they chose to give up and succumb to this seemingly endless suffering.

Adams also thought about giving up. His legs were numb, as if they were filled with mud and became heavier and heavier. His vision began to blur. Sweat kept dripping from his forehead and dripping into his eyes, making it almost impossible for him to see the road ahead. He looked at the back of Captain Cooper in front of him. That was his only goal and motivation at the moment. He didn't know how long he had been running. It felt like he had been running all day.

Gradually, Adams's consciousness began to become blurred. He seemed to see the small courtyard of his home, and the familiar figures of his parents and sister. They were sitting together, eating simple meals, but their faces were filled with happy smiles. At that moment, an inexplicable power surged in Adams' heart. He told himself that he couldn't give up like this, he couldn't let his family down, and he couldn't let his dream shatter.

So he gritted his teeth and continued running forward. He had only one thought in his mind: Keep going! He must keep going! He seemed to hear the sound of his heart beating, and every beat seemed to be cheering him up. Although his steps were heavy, they became more and more determined.

"We're there!" Adams didn't know how long he had been running, but he vaguely saw Cooper in front of him stop and shout to the new recruits behind him. At that moment, he seemed to hear the sound of nature, and an indescribable joy surged in his heart. He could hardly believe his ears, until he saw Captain Cooper's familiar face and affirmative eyes, he was sure that he had really reached the finish line.

Great! Adams' feet seemed to lose their support and he sat down on the ground. He swore that no one could pull him up now, even if the Earth Mother herself came. He gasped for breath and felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. His body was soaked with sweat, but at this moment he felt extremely relaxed and satisfied.

Link looked at the new recruits who had finished the five-kilometer run, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He noticed that only Cooper was still leaning against a tree and panting, while the others had already fallen to the ground. He counted and found that only 28 people made it to the finish line, while the others fell halfway and could not make it.

Link felt a little emotional in his heart. Although these recruits had different physical qualities, their perseverance and determination were very different. He knew that in the future battlefield, only those who could persevere to the end could truly survive and become true warriors.

He looked at Cooper and said, "Write down the names of those who have finished the five-kilometer run, and then let the team rest for 20 minutes before gathering. By the way, water is ready over there, so those who need it can go get it." After receiving the order, Cooper turned around and ordered the new recruits who were gradually gathering behind him, "Everyone! Rest for 20 minutes! There's water for those who want it! Gather immediately when you hear the order to assemble!"

Twenty minutes passed quickly. The recruits gathered on the playground again, their faces still showing some fatigue and sweat, but their eyes were more determined and tenacious.

Link came to the front of the assembled team, holding a small cloth bag in his hand. He glanced at the team and slowly said, "You guys disappoint me a little! Only 28 of the more than 100 people finished the 5-kilometer run. You know, if this is a war, you will either win and chase the enemy or lose and prepare to escape. Those who run faster can get more credit or have more chances to save their lives. And what about the rest? I think you must know without me saying anything."

There was a moment of silence in the team. The recruits all knew that what Link said was true. On the battlefield, speed often determines life or death. They must constantly improve their physical fitness and endurance to survive in this cruel world.

Link went on to say: "Well, today is the first training day and I don't want to say too much. Now I want to fulfill my promise." Instantly, the eyes of some people in the team lit up. They knew that the promise Link was talking about was to reward those recruits who completed the five kilometers with a silver coin.

Link said to Cooper, "Captain Cooper, come here first. You have finished running five kilometers." Then he took out a silver coin from the bag and handed it to Cooper. Cooper walked to Link and took the silver coin. He looked at the silver coin in his hand with some surprise. He didn't expect that he, as the captain, could also get a reward.

"Captain Cooper, now call out the names of those who have completed the five-kilometer run one by one. Those whose names are called must come out and come to me to receive their rewards." Link ordered.

"Yes!" Cooper responded and began to call the roll, "Tobich!"

"Here!" The young man whose name was called walked out of the team excitedly and came in front of Link. He straightened his chest, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

Link smiled and said, "Very good, this is the reward you won. I hope you can keep it up in your future training and work harder!" As he said that, he took out a silver coin and handed it to the young man.

Tobiki took the silver coins excitedly and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Lord Link! Thank you, Lord Link!" After he finished speaking, he returned to the team and carefully put away the silver coins.

In the following time, Cooper continued to call the roll, and every recruit whose name was called walked out of the team excitedly and took the heavy silver coin from Link's hand. They knew that this silver coin not only represented their efforts and persistence, but also represented their hopes and dreams for the future.

"Adams!" It was finally Adams' turn. He swallowed his saliva, nervously walked out of the team, and walked in front of Link. He took the silver coin, and felt his palm trembling slightly. He quickly returned to the team, looked at the silver coin in his hand, and pinched himself hard, feeling as if he was dreaming.

He never thought that such a silver coin could be obtained so easily. Although the process was not easy and he experienced countless struggles and pains, compared to those noble lords who always liked to find reasons to deduct wages, Lord Link in front of him was like an angel. He gave them hope and made them believe that as long as they worked hard, they would be rewarded.

Feeling the envious eyes around him, Adams put the silver coin back into his pocket and stood up straight. He knew that this silver coin was not only his personal honor and pride, but also the best way for him to prove himself to his family. He wanted to let his family know that he had lived up to their expectations and that he had become a real warrior.

Soon, the silver coins for the twenty-eight people were all distributed. Link looked at the eyes of more than a hundred recruits, some of whom were excited and excited, while others were secretly unwilling and regretful. He knew that these emotions were normal, after all, everyone had their own goals and pursuits. But he also hoped that these recruits could understand one truth: only the strong can survive on the battlefield, and only those who persevere and move forward courageously can become true heroes.

"Okay, the previous training was just to understand your physical strength and basics. Next, I will teach you something." Link began to teach the new recruits the most basic movements such as turning and stepping that he needed to do during his training in the army in his previous life. He patiently explained the key points and precautions of each movement and demonstrated the standard posture of each movement.

The recruits listened, watched, and imitated carefully. They knew that although these basic movements seemed simple, they were the key to their future survival on the battlefield. Therefore, they all studied and practiced very attentively.

Not only that, Link also taught the most basic methods of refining fighting spirit. This was the valuable experience he learned in the army in his previous life, and it was also the foundation for him to gain a foothold in this world. He taught these methods to these new recruits without reservation, hoping that they could improve their strength and better protect themselves by practicing fighting spirit.

Time passed by minute by minute. The afternoon passed slowly. When the afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire playground, Link finally finished today's training. He looked at the tired faces of the recruits below, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion surged in his heart. He knew that although these recruits were still young, they had extremely firm beliefs and determination. They were willing to work hard for their dreams and the happiness of their families, which in itself was something to be proud of.

"Okay, today's training ends here. Captain Cooper will arrange your food and lodging. Disband now." Link announced loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, the group of new recruits dispersed happily. Some of them discussed their feelings about today's training in groups of three or five, while others practiced their fighting spirit alone in the corner. In any case, they all knew that they had embarked on the path of becoming a warrior, and the road ahead was still very long...

Link called Cooper who was standing nearby and ordered him seriously, "Have you arranged the placement of the soldiers in the barracks? Don't be careless."

Upon hearing this, Cooper straightened his back and replied respectfully, "Of course it has been arranged properly. It is inside the east wall of Mislina City. It is the old camp where the guards stayed. We have carefully renovated and arranged it. Now the environment is clean and the facilities are complete. It is just right for accommodating more than one hundred new soldiers."

After listening to this, Link nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "There are some other training arrangements that I need to tell you in detail. Remember, after dinner every night, let them go to bed on time at nine o'clock. If anyone is found to be making a lot of noise and disturbing others' rest, let them come out and stand at attention as a punishment."

"Yes!" Cooper answered loudly with a firm look.

"Also, at five o'clock every morning, you should wake them up and do a three-kilometer morning run. After the run, let them rest for a while before having breakfast." Link continued, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination.

"So early? Getting up so early to train, isn't that too harsh? Isn't that unnecessary?" Cooper hesitated when he heard this. Obviously, he hasn't completely changed his mindset about such training intensity.

Seeing this, Link smiled and shook his head, saying earnestly: "Cooper, don't underestimate these trainings. If you want these new recruits to grow quickly and become independent warriors, you must set strict requirements on them. Moreover, such training can also help them develop good work and rest habits, which will be of great benefit to their future combat life. Just follow my arrangements, and I believe you will see results after a period of time."

After that, Link added, "By the way, tell them that as long as they complete a day's training mission, they will have meat for dinner. This is a reward for them and can also stimulate their enthusiasm for training."

"Yes! I will do as you say." Cooper nodded again and gradually understood Link's good intentions.

"There are some other training programs that I'm still considering. I'll tell you when I've figured it out." Link explained again.

"Okay! I'll keep an eye on your instructions." Cooper replied respectfully.

Afterwards, Link ended his conversation with Cooper and turned back to the City Lord's Mansion.

With the careful arrangement of the housekeeper, Link came to a spacious and bright bathroom. He could not wait to take off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub full of warm water. Instantly, a sense of comfort surged through his body, as if the fatigue of the past few days had dissipated with the steaming heat. He closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare quiet time, washing away the sweat on his body and eliminating the accumulated fatigue. Although he was not actually very tired, this way of relaxation made him feel extremely satisfied.

Sitting in the bathtub full of water, Link's thoughts began to drift away. He couldn't help but recall the various programs used to train soldiers in his own world. Those programs have been tested in practice and have been proven to be effective. Now, he brought these valuable experiences to this other world, hoping to train a strong army here as well.

In his mind, he saw training scenes: soldiers sweating profusely under the scorching sun doing weight training and learning simple but practical military boxing; under his guidance, the soldiers' sword-wielding attacks became more concise and powerful, with fewer fancy moves and more practicality and murderous spirit. These scenes made him feel extremely excited and expectant.

As Link was thinking about this, he fell asleep in the bathtub without realizing it. He dreamed that he led this newly formed army and fought bravely on the battlefield, defeating all enemies.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Link gradually handed over the training of the new recruits to Cooper and the machine gunners. In addition to teaching them some of the most basic training content, he also taught them some more modern training methods. These methods may seem ordinary to him, but they seem particularly advanced and practical in this alien world.

For example, in weight training, he made the soldiers run and climb with heavy sandbags on their backs to enhance their physical strength and endurance. For some simple military boxing, he personally demonstrated and explained the essentials and uses of each movement. Based on his rich experience as an adventurer, he optimized and improved the sword-wielding attack movements, making them simpler and more practical, and more suitable for these recruits to quickly master and use.

In addition, Link also specifically let Ingrid take charge of the overall situation. As a knight of the demon world, Ingrid is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has rich experience in military management. She is undoubtedly the most suitable person to be responsible for overall coordination and supervision of training.

The most important thing for Link today was to inspect the farmland under the jurisdiction of Mislina City. Now that the banditry had been eradicated, the situation in the region was becoming peaceful and stable, and the crops planted were about to be harvested. Food was the primary need of the people, and the harvest of crops was directly related to the livelihood and stability of the people in the city. Therefore, Link went to the nearby farmland with several followers early in the morning to check the quantity and quality of the harvested crops.

He personally went down to the farmland, talked cordially with the farmers, and asked about their harvest. When he came to an old man who was harvesting wheat, he asked with concern: "Old man, how is the harvest these two days?"

The old man straightened up when he heard the voice and looked up at Link. Seeing that Link was dressed like an adventurer, he was a little wary, but not too nervous. He sighed and said, "It's not that good. When the bandits were robbing us before, we didn't dare to go out to work on the farmland for fear of being robbed or trampled by the bandits. In addition, horses, people and other people trampled and destroyed a lot of wheat. But now it's more than I expected, at least we can harvest some food for the winter."

After hearing this, Link frowned slightly and asked, "Is this the case for most of the farmland around Mislina City?"

The old man nodded and said, "It's about the same. Some places may have suffered more losses. After burning all the wheat stalks, we will start to resume planting. I hope the harvest will be better next year, and I hope we can live a stable life."

Hearing this, Link felt an inexplicable sense of responsibility. He patted the old man on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Mislina City is in ruins now, and it is time for everyone to work together. You can tell other peasant brothers that if they have any difficulties or problems in the future, they can come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me. No one can suffer, but the common people will not suffer! This is my promise!"

When the old man heard Link's words, a trace of surprise and excitement flashed in his eyes. He said in a trembling voice: "The City Lord's Mansion? Sir... I dare not. How dare we trouble you..."

Link smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, old man! From now on, no one will dare to force buying and selling or trample on the people in my territory. This is my territory, and it is also your home! I will do my best to protect you all."

After saying that, Link turned and left, continuing to check other farmlands. The old man stood there, watching Link's back as he left, his eyes revealing an indescribable excitement and gratitude. After all, for so long, no noble had ever taken farmers like them seriously, let alone cared so much about their livelihoods and safety.

After checking the farmland, Link returned to his room in the City Lord's Mansion. He had nothing to do, so he opened the system interface and prepared to check the lottery results of the past few days. However, before he had time to take a closer look at what the prize was, a panicked sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Then, with a "click" sound, Ingrid knocked on the door and pushed it open and walked in. She looked at Link sitting on the chair with a nervous expression and said, "Sir! I received a report that several people came out of the mountains northwest of the city near the northern mountains. They were armed and seemed to be seriously injured. Now Cooper is leading his men to confront them!"

Link was shocked when he heard this. He immediately realized that this matter might not be simple. The northern mountains have always been a haunt of thieves and wild beasts. These people suddenly appeared and were seriously injured. It is very likely that they are hiding some unknown secrets or crises. Thinking of this, he stood up without hesitation and said, "Let's go! Let's go and take a look!"

After saying that, Link and Ingrid hurried to the northwest. They knew that they had to understand the situation as soon as possible and take countermeasures to ensure the safety and stability of Mislina City.

146. In short

Cooper led a dozen new recruits, holding their weapons tightly, and nervously confronted several short figures wearing tattered cloaks. Although these cloaked men were not tall, they exuded an aura that should not be underestimated. The wide black cloaks covered their faces tightly, revealing only their vigilant and deep eyes. The axes and hammers they held tightly in their hands were covered with deep blood marks, as if telling of the thrilling battle they had just experienced.

Behind these cloaked men, there were several figures lying on the ground, groaning in pain, obviously seriously injured. Their cries of pain echoed in the silent air, adding a bit of tension and uneasiness.

At this moment, Link and Ingrid rushed to the scene. Link walked quickly to the front of the new recruits and looked at the cloaked man opposite with a sharp gaze. His voice was steady and powerful: "I'm sorry, our city of Mislina has been invaded by bandits recently. Seeing that you are carrying weapons, we must confirm your identity to ensure that you are not a threat to the residents of the city."

Upon hearing this, a burly man holding a sledgehammer among the cloaked men replied in a rough voice: "Who are you? What rights do you have to interrogate us?" His tone was full of vigilance and provocation.

Link frowned. He could clearly smell the blood on these people, as well as the tension and anxiety hidden under their cloaks. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "I am the military commander of Mislina City. My name is Link. Now, it's your turn to explain your identities and purpose."

Just as he finished speaking, a burst of rapid crying suddenly came from behind the cloaked man: "Fergus! Oh no, Kerry and Tracy are dying!" The crying was full of despair and helplessness, which made everyone present feel nervous.

The cloaked man holding the sledgehammer was shocked when he heard this, and quickly turned around and walked to the back to check the situation. Although the other cloaked men still maintained a vigilant posture, they could not help but reveal a trace of worry and anxiety in their eyes.

Link thought to himself that these people had obviously experienced some kind of fierce battle, and judging from their appearance, they did not seem like ordinary bandits or wanderers. He guessed that some of them must have been seriously injured. Combined with the shocking scars and blood on their bodies, it was not difficult to imagine what kind of tragic battle they had encountered in the mountains.

Thinking of this, Link decided to take the initiative and slowly walked forward, trying to get closer to these cloaked men to better understand their situation. However, his move immediately caused tension among Cooper and the new recruits, who raised their weapons one after another, ready to respond to any possible danger at any time.

"Lord Link, danger!" Cooper shouted anxiously. He picked up his sword and quickly protected Link, but Ingrid stopped him with her eyes. Ingrid glared at Cooper, as if to say: I'm here, what do you need to worry about?

Indeed, with Link's current strength, few people could pose a real threat to him. He waved his hand, signaling Cooper and the new recruits to put down their weapons first, then turned around and said to the cloaked men: "I have no ill intentions. Look, I don't have any weapons on me." As he spoke, he raised his hands to show them.

The cloaked men still held their weapons tightly, staring at Link vigilantly. At this time, the strong man called Fergus spoke: "Let him come over." His voice was rough, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Hearing Fergus' words, the other cloaked men put down their weapons, but they still remained on guard, staring at the person behind Link. Link slowly moved his feet and walked behind the cloaked man.

"Master Link, you can't go over there! If they do something to you..." Cooper pulled Link's sleeve and tried to dissuade him with a worried look on his face. He knew Link's importance to the city of Mislina and didn't want him to have any accidents.

Link turned his head, looked at Cooper's worried eyes, and said softly: "Don't worry, they should have no ill intentions. I'll be back soon, don't do anything rash here." After that, he patted Cooper's shoulder gently to comfort him.

"But..." Cooper wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Link's firm eyes. "This is an order." Link said in a serious tone. Cooper could only nod helplessly, "Yes, Lord Link. Please be careful and call us if you need anything."

Link passed through the cloaked men's defense line and slowly walked to the back. What came into view were two children who were only a few years old. They were lying in the arms of a woman who was also wearing a cloak. Their small bodies were covered with blood and scars. Some of those scars were so deep that the bones could be seen, which was shocking. Although these wounds were not directly fatal, if they were not treated in time, the two children would probably be in danger of losing too much blood.

"What should I do, Fergus? Think of a way to save Kerry and Tracy! They are dying!" The woman burst into tears, her voice full of despair and helplessness. Fergus slapped his chest in pain and shouted, "What can I do? I want to save them too!" Several cloaked men beside him also bowed their heads and cried, some even sobbed softly.

Link looked at this scene, and a sense of inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart. He took a deep breath and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here? And why are you so badly injured?" His tone was full of concern and confusion.

Fergus turned around and looked into Link's inquiring eyes. His thick voice carried a hint of helplessness and pleading: "Since you are a big shot here, then... we want to seek your help!"

"Chief! They are humans! Humans are no good!" At this time, a cloaked man next to him suddenly spoke. His words made Link's heart tremble. He keenly caught the key word "human". Could it be that these cloaked people were not humans?

Link looked at Fergus, trying to see his face under the cloak. However, the large cloak still blocked his vision. He said, "Since you are here to seek help, it doesn't seem right to hide like this, right?"

After hearing this, Fergus was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "Indeed, this is indeed not very polite. But... we also have our difficulties." As he spoke, he slowly pulled down the corner of his cloak, revealing his face covered with a rough beard.

Link looked closely and saw that the face of this guy named Fergus was full of traces of time, and his rough beard almost covered half of his face. Coupled with their short stature and human-like appearance, Link immediately thought of a word - "dwarf".

"Dwarves!" Link shouted in surprise. He didn't expect that these cloaked people were actually members of the dwarf tribe. You know, in this world, although dwarves exist, they usually live in remote mountains and rarely interact with humans. Not to mention in the mountains near the city of Mislina?

The dwarves wearing cloaks around him took off their cloaks one after another after hearing this. They all had rough appearances and short statures, looking both funny and cute. However, at this moment, their faces were full of fatigue and pain.

"Yes, we are dwarves living on the other side of the mountains." Fergus' voice was a little low, "We used to live a peaceful life, but... we recently encountered a sudden disaster."

Link looked at Fergus's painful expression and the injured dwarves behind him, and a strong sense of sympathy and concern surged in his heart. He asked: "So, how did the injuries on these two children come about? Who was so cruel to you?"

Hearing this, Fergus's expression became even more angry and sad. However, he did not answer Link's question immediately, but remained silent for a moment. Link looked at their expressions, and his intuition told him that there must be some unknown secret hidden in this.

Link half-knelt down, gently caressing Kaili and Tracy's weak breathing, and said, "If they don't receive treatment, they will soon die from excessive blood loss. You must make a decision as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Fergus pounded his chest in pain and said, "There's nothing I can do! They are all my children! I want to save them, too! But... I can't do anything!" At this point, he was so grief-stricken that he could no longer control himself and squatted on the ground crying.

Link watched this scene, and a strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "I have a way to save these two children. Fortunately, I have learned some skills as a priest."

Upon hearing this, Fergus suddenly raised his head, with disbelief in his eyes: "You...what did you say? You can save them?" His voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"Of course, I don't have to lie to you." Link said firmly, nodded heavily, and his eyes revealed unquestionable sincerity. He knew that although the dwarves in front of him were short, they possessed strength and skills that could not be underestimated. Whether it was forging exquisite weapons or brewing sweet wine, they were all at ease. What's more, Link also planned to dig out some valuable information from them to help him better understand the changes in this continent.

Fergus, the elder of the dwarf tribe, was excitedly grabbing Link's shoulders at this moment, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Can you really save them? Really? Please save my two poor children!" His voice trembled slightly with anxiety, and the strength of his hands made Link clearly feel the unique tenacity and strength of the dwarves.

Link smiled slightly and gently removed Fergus' hand from his shoulder, saying soothingly, "I do have a way to save these two children. Just calm down and stand aside and wait. Believe me, everything will be fine." His tone was calm and confident, as if there was an inexplicable power that made Fergus believe him involuntarily.

Although Fergus still had doubts in his heart, he had to suppress his excitement when he saw Link's determined eyes. He stepped aside, his eyes full of expectation and anxiety. He whispered: "Please, you must save my children. As long as you can save them, I am willing to do anything..."

Link didn't say anything more, but half-knelt down, his eyes gently falling on the two dwarf children who were covered in blood and breathing weakly. He slowly stretched out his right hand, and the warm golden holy light instantly bloomed in his palm, like the rising sun, dispelling the haze and coldness around him.

"What is this?" Mary, the dwarf woman holding the child, saw this sudden strange scene and couldn't help but hold the child tightly in her arms, with surprise and vigilance in her eyes. She had never seen such magical power before, and this healing magic was beyond her cognition.

Link glanced helplessly at Fergus beside him and explained, "Don't worry, leave the child to me. This is healing magic. Although it may be a little different from what you have seen, please believe me, it will definitely save your child." His voice was gentle and firm, as if it had the magical power to soothe people's hearts.

Hearing this, Fergus hesitated for a moment, his eyes wavering between struggle and trust. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said to Mary, "Mary, let him try. We are helpless anyway. Since Lord Link is willing to help, we should trust him."

Mary's eyes flashed with determination when she heard this. She looked at the child in her arms affectionately, then raised her head to look at Link, with a hint of pleading in her voice: "Please, you must save my children, they are innocent."

Link nodded solemnly, he deeply understood the mother's deep love for her child. He raised his hand and gently placed it on the child's chest, the Paladin's healing skill was instantly activated, and the golden holy light slowly flowed into the child's body like a warm stream.

Everyone present watched with bated breath, only to see the wounds on the child begin to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his originally pale face gradually regained its rosy color. The dwarf next to him couldn't help but exclaimed: "Look, look, new skin is constantly growing out of the wound! It's amazing!"

Soon after, all the wounds on the child's body recovered completely, and his breathing became steady and powerful, as if he had just fallen into a sweet dream. If it weren't for the bloodstains still on his clothes, no one would believe that they were still on the verge of life and death.

Link stood up, his expression still calm. He looked at Fergus and said, "Now the two children are fine. I see that many of you are injured. Although the injuries are not serious, it will take some time to recover. I can help you with your treatment as well."

Fergus looked at Link, his eyes full of gratitude and shock. He looked at the two little guys sleeping peacefully in their mother's arms, then looked at Link, and suddenly bent his legs and knelt down: "I, Fergus, thank you very much for your kindness today! If you have any requests in the future, I, Fergus, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Link quickly stepped forward, grabbed Fergus' arm and helped him up: "Don't be like this, even if it's a war, the child is innocent. We should help if we can, it's our duty. Since you came to my city of Mislina, you are our friends of Mislina. Seeing how you are now, why don't you come to our city of Mislina and have a good rest."

Fergus hesitated for a moment, looked around, and looked at his companions. They were ragged and had scars on their bodies, and they had obviously gone through a lot of hardships. He asked worriedly, "But my companions are all dwarves. Will it cause trouble for you if we rashly enter your human territory?"

Although military alliances have been established between races on this vast continent, racial barriers and prejudices still exist. Many humans are hostile and repulsive to other races, which forces Fergus to consider carefully.

However, Link is not a native of this world, and his mind is more open and tolerant. He does not care about racial differences, but only values the kindness and sincerity of others. "It's okay, we in Mislina City do not exclude other races. You can have a good rest here, and your two children have just recovered, and they also need some time to recuperate." Link's words are full of sincerity and enthusiasm.

Fergus felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He thought for a moment, clenched his fists, and said firmly: "Sorry for bothering you! We are very grateful for your hospitality."
