The Chosen of Slaanesh in Infinite Worlds

It feels like something is coming out of my body...

Just when she was about to climax, Link pulled out his fingers. Shiranui's face was rosy, her lips slightly parted, and she looked at Link with confusion.

At this time, Link also took off his clothes, and with a huge iron rod that was longer than Shiranui's belly button, he slapped Shiranui's face heavily.

161. Development

Link spent five full days completely relaxing himself, away from the noise and tension of battle.

When the sun of the fifth day shone across the earth, Link stepped onto the streets of Mislina City.

On both sides of the streets, residents' lives have gradually emerged from the shadow of bandit attacks and regained their former vitality.

The cries of vendors and the laughter of children interweave to form a harmonious and beautiful picture. As Link strolls through it, a warm current surges in his heart. He knows that all this peace and prosperity is hard-won and is the result of the joint efforts of all of them.

"Captain, you are here! I finally found you!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted Link's thoughts. He turned around and saw Yuna, a female boxer from the mercenary group, running towards him panting. Yuna was in good shape and her face was full of youthful radiance, but at the moment she seemed a little anxious.

"Yuna, what's the matter that requires you to talk to me so urgently?" Link asked curiously.

Yuna stopped, bent down and took a breath, and then said after her breath was steady: "Captain, after my arrangements over this period of time, a caravan is willing to provide us with trade services. They have rich resources and a wide trade network, which will be of great benefit to our development. Tomorrow I will go to their headquarters in other cities to discuss the specific trade situation, and then their people should come here to have a formal discussion with you."

Link smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. After the last battle, they had lost a lot of raw materials for manufacturing, especially the raw materials needed to make bullets and firearms, and they were in urgent need of replenishment.

Although SCV can mine various resources, it takes time after all.

If a caravan purchased the raw materials directly, it would undoubtedly solve this problem for them.

"Very good, it's better to get these things done quickly. When you go this time, purchase the things I need first, buy as much as you can to deal with emergency needs." Link ordered.

"Okay, no problem." Yuna nodded in agreement, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

As they walked and talked, Link suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Yuna, do you know what sells best on the mainland?"

Yuna answered without thinking: "The best-selling items are of course those powerful weapons, powerful potions, magic scrolls for magicians, and materials for magic beasts. These things have always been in short supply on the mainland and are very expensive. Does the leader want to develop some kind of business?"

Link nodded, a thoughtful look on his face: "Our city of Mislina is now developing and building rapidly, which requires a lot of resources. Money is the foundation of all of this. I'm not afraid to tell you that we have zero income now. If we spend the remaining funds at our current rate, we will be out of money in less than a month."

Speaking of money, Link couldn't help but sigh. He knew that although money was not everything, it was absolutely necessary to live without money. Especially in this world full of competition and crisis, money was the key to their survival and development.

"So I'm thinking about some ways to make money. In addition to the things you mentioned before, are there other common things that everyone needs in life?" Link asked.

Yuna fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, she raised her head and said, "For ordinary people, the most profitable things are luxury goods. The nobles and wealthy businessmen like precious minerals, jewelry, etc., while girls like me prefer perfumes, gorgeous clothes, etc."

"Perfume?" Link's eyes lit up. He seemed to have found a new business opportunity.

Yuna nodded and continued, "Perfume is indeed a luxury item. There aren't many of them, but those wealthy businessmen don't like the smell of sweat on their bodies in pursuit of elegance and taste, so they like to spray some perfume on their bodies. Of course, the most popular users are the noble ladies. Every time they go out to attend a banquet, they will spray themselves with perfume. Perfume is also often used at banquets in the palace to create an atmosphere."

"Perfume, is it water that emits fragrance?" Link wanted to confirm whether the perfume in this world was the same as what he knew.

"Yes." Yuna explained, "I once carried out a commission from a guild to protect a caravan. The wealthy merchant in the caravan used a small bottle of perfume. Just by opening the bottle cap, I could smell a strong fragrance. However, the manufacturing method of this thing is only known by some magicians and alchemists. It is said that the appearance of perfume was accidentally created by an alchemist during an experiment."

"Another alchemical accident..." Link muttered to himself. It seems that failure is indeed the mother of success.

"It seems that due to the shortage of materials, the price is very expensive. It takes a long time for some perfumes to flow into the market. It is also because of this that perfume has become a symbol of status." Yuna continued.

Link's heart was moved when he heard this. If perfume is really so scarce and expensive, then maybe he could try to make some perfume to sell. In this way, not only can the current low income problem of Mislina City be solved, but it can also bring them more wealth and resources.

"Is the process of making perfume complicated?" Link asked.

Yuna thought for a moment and said, "It should be quite complicated. After all, only magicians and alchemists know how to make it. And I heard that making perfume requires some precious materials, which are also very scarce on the continent."

Link was a little confused when he heard this, but he changed his mind and thought that maybe the base could do it, so he might as well give it a try.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go check out the military camp." Link suddenly said. He felt very happy now, as if he saw hope and light in the future.

"Oh, then, take care, Captain. I also have some things to deal with. Goodbye." Yuna said. As she spoke, she also imitated the soldiers and saluted Link.

"Goodbye. I'm looking forward to you bringing those merchants here." Link said with a smile. He walked while thinking about the problems he had thought of before, and before he knew it, he arrived at the military camp north of Mislina City.

This military camp was officially established after the war. It was next to the northern city wall, which was still a little dilapidated. The gate of the military camp was closed, and two soldiers stood at the door. They were wearing armor, holding spears, and looked solemn and majestic.

As soon as Link arrived at the entrance of the military camp, he saw Ingrid waiting at the entrance. She was one of the leaders of the military camp and Link's right-hand man.

"Master Link, everything has been done. We have been waiting for you." Ingrid came over and saluted Link. Her voice was clear and pleasant, and her face was filled with a confident and proud smile.

Link patted Ingrid's shoulder and said, "Sorry, I ran into Yuna on the way. She had something to do and we chatted for a while, so I'm a little late. How are things going? Have you taken care of the soldiers who were injured in the previous battle?"

Ingrid nodded and said, "Master Link, don't worry. After the battle, Violena came here every day for treatment. There are no problems at the moment. Their injuries have all healed, and they are now undergoing rehabilitation training."

"That's good." Link couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard that. He knew that the health and safety of the soldiers was the key to whether their team could continue to fight. And Violena's healing ability undoubtedly provided them with a strong guarantee.

"The training of the new soldiers will depend on you and Kuber." Link said with a smile. As he spoke, he walked in. The interior of the military camp was neat and orderly, and the soldiers were undergoing various trainings. Their figures were agile and powerful, as if they were showing their courage and determination to the world.

"Lord Link, I have already recruited the one hundred new soldiers you instructed to replenish the troops." Ingrid followed in and handed a list to Link.

Link took the list and looked at it. It contained the names, ages, and places of origin of the new recruits. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. The recruitment process was very fast this time."

"In fact, after we just released the recruitment order, the application was filled up instantly. Due to the quota, many people were not admitted. I asked them to come back next time." Ingrid said. There was a hint of apology in her tone, as if she felt a little sorry for not admitting those who applied.

"It doesn't matter. We have too few young men in Mislina City right now. This recruitment is just to temporarily replenish the troops. We will have a large-scale recruitment plan in the future." Link said. He knew very well that a strong team not only needs excellent leaders, but also needs a constant supply of fresh blood to inject vitality.

"With the one hundred recruits from before and the one hundred now, as well as the fifty Crucible Knights and the two hundred Lothric Cavalry, we are already close to 50 people, and there are also the machine gunners." Ingrid continued, "With them here, there are few forces in the entire North that dare to look down on us."

Link smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. He knew that although these 500 people were not many, they were enough for them to gain a foothold in the North. And as they continued to grow and develop, he believed that more soldiers would join them.

"Because of the new regulation issued by Lord Link regarding compensation for soldiers killed in battle, everyone is very motivated to join the army," Ingrid suddenly said, with a hint of emotion and admiration in her tone.

Hearing this, Link felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that the promulgation of this regulation was not only for the fallen soldiers and their families, but also to inspire more soldiers to fight for the glory and future of the team.

"That's right. Now all the young men in Mislina think that being a soldier is a good thing. Not only is the salary high and the treatment good, but the most important thing is that even if you die in battle, you don't have to worry about what will happen after your death." Link said. There was a hint of determination and pride in his tone, as if he saw the future glory and honor of their team.

As they walked and talked, they unknowingly arrived at the training ground of the military camp. They saw soldiers doing various training programs: some were practicing swordsmanship, some were practicing archery, and some were practicing horse riding... Their figures were shining in the sun, as if they were showing their courage and determination to the world.

Link stood at the side of the training ground, quietly watching the soldiers' training. His heart was filled with pride and expectation. He knew that these soldiers would be his capable assistants and solid support in future battles.

162. Arrangement

What they were most worried about before was what would happen to their families if they died on the battlefield. This heavy worry, like a huge rock, weighed on their hearts, making it difficult for them to concentrate on their missions. However, with Link's promulgation of a series of regulations on compensation for the fallen, this worry was finally alleviated. The regulations detailed the standards and measures for the compensation of the families of fallen soldiers, from financial assistance to life care, all of which reflected Link's deep concern for the soldiers and their families. This move not only eliminated everyone's worries, but also added a solid guarantee for their families, allowing the soldiers to be more brave and fearless on the battlefield, because they knew that even if they fell, their families would be properly resettled and cared for.

More importantly, it is still unknown whether you will die on the battlefield when you follow Link. Link's miraculous performances on the battlefield have already made the soldiers full of trust and awe in him. Especially the stunt of resurrecting on the spot, which amazed everyone. At that moment, Link seemed to have become an immortal god of war, giving the soldiers hope for life and a new understanding of death. With a leader like Link, what is there to be afraid of in war? Death no longer seems to be an insurmountable gap.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go see our soldiers first. I have a lot of things to announce today." Link interrupted the soldiers' thoughts with a hint of urgency in his tone. He knew that as a leader, he must always remain calm and decisive and point the way for the soldiers.

"Well, Lord Link, please follow me." The soldiers responded and led Link towards the military camp.

When Link walked to a training ground in the military camp, there were already soldiers lined up neatly. They were dressed in uniform and in high spirits, as if ready to meet the challenge of battle at any time. Link could see from a distance that the soldiers were divided into three groups, each with its own characteristics, showing different combat effectiveness and training levels.

The smallest group, with only about 20 people, was the musketeers. They wore light leather armor and held muskets, abandoning heavy protection for the sake of convenience. Their eyes revealed sharpness and calmness, as if they were ready to shoot deadly bullets with their muskets at any time.

In the middle were the veterans who had participated in the defense of Mislina. They stood in neat rows, standing firm like javelins. The strong murderous aura emanating from them could be felt from afar. These veterans had experienced countless life-and-death tests and had long since put life and death aside. Their existence was the strongest shield and the sharpest sword in the army.

On the other side were the newly recruited soldiers. Although they had just joined the army, after a few days of basic training, they were already in uniform in terms of standing and appearance. Their eyes revealed their vision for the future and their desire to fight, as if a group of young eagles were preparing to spread their wings and fly high.

As for the Crucible Knights and Lothric Cavalry, they are currently responsible for the main task of city defense and are not in the camp. As one of the most elite troops in Mislina City, they always guard the safety of the city.

Next to the musketeers, Link saw Eloi. She was wearing a brand new military uniform and looked very heroic, as if she was a completely different person from before. Link walked over curiously and asked, "Eloi, why did you come here to serve as a soldier?"

Eloi saluted Link with a standard military salute, her face slightly flushed, and she seemed a little embarrassed. She whispered, "Well... Captain, I originally wanted to try out the muskets. After all, I thought they were fun during the previous battles. But Ingrid dragged me in and asked me to join the musket team. That's really abominable."

Link laughed when he heard that. "I think Ingrid did the right thing. I was wondering who should be the captain of the Musketeers. Now it's decided. I don't need anyone else but you, Eloi. You can lead the Musketeers from now on. I'll give you a raise, which will be enough to support the children."

He was horrified when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands and said, "How can I, an elf, be the captain of your human team? No, no!"

Link stopped smiling when he heard that. He looked at Eloi seriously and said, "What's the difference between humans and elves? I don't discriminate against races here. Who hasn't seen your archery skills during the previous battle? Does anyone dare to disagree? It's settled! Now you complete your training first, and then you will be the captain of the Musketeers."

Hearing this, Eloi looked at Link in bewilderment, as if she wanted to say something but swallowed it back in the end. She knew that Link's decision could not be changed, so she could only accept the appointment silently.

"Okay, I still have something to say up there, that's all." Link said, patting Eloi's shoulder, then turned and walked towards the reviewing stand in front of the team.

Link stood on the reviewing stand, his eyes sweeping over the soldiers below. He looked at their energetic appearance, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone looks very energetic, it seems that everyone has eaten well these two days. How are the veterans resting? Miss Violena should have healed their injuries, right?"

"Okay!" the veterans answered in unison, their voices revealing firmness and confidence.

Link nodded with satisfaction and continued, "I am here today to announce a few things. First, we want to welcome the new recruits we have recruited to join our Storm Army family. Your arrival has injected new blood and vitality into our army."

The new recruits in the audience were cheered up after hearing this, as if they were greatly encouraged. They knew that this was the starting point of their military career and the beginning of their contribution to the city of Mislina.

Link paused and continued, "Secondly, I want to formally announce the future military system of our Storm Army. Regarding military discipline, I think I don't need to say much, as your Captain Ingrid should have already said it. Here I just want to emphasize that 'Military orders are as heavy as a mountain! Military discipline is as heavy as heaven! Absolutely obey!' If anyone violates military orders and discipline in the future, don't blame us for being ruthless in military law!"

The unquestionable majesty in Link's words made the soldiers in the audience stand in awe. They knew that Link was a leader who was fair and impartial, and his decisions must be obeyed absolutely.

Link paused for a moment and his tone gradually calmed down: "Okay, let's get back to the point. I now announce that the Musketeers are officially established and Ingrid will temporarily serve as the captain. The veterans of the Stormtroopers are officially organized into the Guards, with Ingrid as the captain. The new recruits will also join the Guards after completing their training."

The soldiers in the audience nodded in agreement. They knew that this was an important decision made by Link to strengthen the army's combat effectiveness. They would also devote their efforts and sweat to contribute to the peace and prosperity of Mislina City.

"Yes!" the soldiers answered in unison, their voices uniform and resounding throughout the training ground like thunder.

After Link announced a series of things, he and Ingrid walked out of the barracks and came to the outside of the city wall. It was dusk at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, covering them with a layer of golden light.

"Ingrid, I want to change the organization of the army to be more formal." Link said as he walked, his eyes revealing deep thought and consideration.

Ingrid looked at Link with some confusion and said, "Organization? Why do we need to change the system? Isn't the current organization good enough?"

Link shook his head and said, "The army organization on the continent is very chaotic and the number of troops is uneven. Sometimes, the orders of the non-commissioned officers cannot be transmitted to the soldiers below in time. This has a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the army. Therefore, I decided to use the modern army organization on the army of Mislina City."

Ingrid nodded in agreement. She knew the importance of a reasonable organization to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Therefore, she did not raise any more objections and listened to Link's story quietly.

Link squatted on the ground, picked up a pile of small stones and began to arrange them. He first put ten stones in one pile to represent a class, and then put three more piles of small stones next to it, each pile representing a platoon.

"Ingrid, come and take a look." Link called out. Ingrid walked over and squatted beside Link, looking at the stones he had placed.

"I plan to divide the current Guards, including the new recruits, into squads of ten people. In each squad, I will assign a veteran soldier to be the squad leader, who will be in charge of the squad's affairs. After that, four squads will form a platoon, and a platoon leader will be appointed to be in charge of the platoon; three platoons will form a company, and a company commander will be appointed to be in charge of the company; and four companies will form a battalion, and a battalion commander will be appointed to be in charge of the company." Link explained as he placed the stones.

Ingrid nodded to show that she understood Link's intention. She looked at the stones Link had placed as if she saw the new look of the future army.

Link stood up and brushed the dust off his hands and continued, "Our army is small now. If it grows in number and becomes large, it will be unrealistic for you to manage it alone. Therefore, we need a more reasonable organization to manage the army."

Ingrid nodded in agreement. She knew that her own strength was limited and she needed more people to share the responsibility of managing the army.

"Oh, you should emphasize one more thing." Link suddenly remembered something and said, "If something happens in a squad or a platoon, the corresponding officers are responsible. And during combat, orders only need to be passed between officers and given by the officers. This ensures that orders are conveyed and executed in a timely manner."

Ingrid nodded after hearing this, indicating that she had remembered Link's instructions. She knew that this was one of the keys to improving the army's combat effectiveness.

"Now the number of our guards plus the new recruits can form almost two companies." Link continued, "Although the number is less than a battalion, you can be considered the battalion commander. When there are more and more people in the future, your position will be higher. The musketeers are also divided according to this organization. By the way, how many people are there in the musketeers now?"

"The Musketeers now have 24 men." Ingrid answered without thinking. It was obvious that she was well aware of the situation of the Musketeers.

"Then let's form two squads with twenty-four people," Link said. "You take charge of them first. When Eloi has completed her training, let her be the platoon leader. With her abilities, she should have no problem managing these people. You should also pay more attention to anyone who speaks out against her racial identity and punish them severely. We in Mislina City will never have this kind of racial prejudice in the future."

Ingrid nodded to show that she understood Link's intention. She knew that Link was a fair and selfless person who had zero tolerance for racial prejudice. Therefore, she would strictly follow Link's orders to ensure the unity and stability within the army.

"There's nothing else to do, you can go back." Link said, "Please pay attention to the new recruits. I have to go back to the City Lord's Mansion."

"Okay, Lord Link, take care!" Ingrid replied and then turned and left the city wall and walked towards the military camp.

163. Purpose

On the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, Link was in a relaxed and calm mood. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, dappling on his face, bringing a hint of warmth. When he turned a corner in an alley, a familiar figure suddenly came into his sight, causing him to be stunned for a moment.

It turned out to be the dark-skinned half-elf Chloe! Her appearance surprised Link. Recalling that he had rescued her from a serious injury and placed her in the mercenary group's base for recuperation. At that time, Chloe was pale, weak, and her eyes were full of fatigue and helplessness. Link had taken good care of her until her injuries improved, and then she disappeared like a gust of wind and never appeared again.

Link thought that their intersection had ended. After all, in this complicated world, everyone has their own mission and path. It is a rare fate to be able to meet and help each other. Therefore, he did not dwell too much on Chloe's departure, but continued to focus on his own affairs and contribute his own strength to the prosperity and peace of Mislina City.

However, fate always seems to like to bring surprises to people inadvertently. This time, Link unexpectedly met Chloe again. Her figure at the end of the alley seemed a little lonely and anxious, as if she was looking for something. When her eyes met Link's, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she hurried over.

"Chloe? Long time no see." Link greeted with a smile, his tone containing a hint of intimacy and emotion.

However, Chloe's reaction was beyond his expectations. She grabbed Link's hand and said with a hint of urgency and pleading in her voice: "Link, I need you to go with me to the capital of the dark elves."

Link frowned and slapped Chloe's hand away in displeasure. It wasn't that he didn't want to help her, but the current situation really didn't allow him to do so. As the lord of Mislina, he was responsible for the safety and prosperity of the entire city and couldn't afford to slack off. What's more, the capital of the dark elves was far away from here and full of dangers. He really had no reason and no time to accompany her on an adventure.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Not to mention how far the capital of the dark elves is from here, not to mention that the entire city of Mislina needs me to helm it now. I don't have time to fool around with you." There was a hint of seriousness and helplessness in Link's words.

However, Chloe did not give up. She seemed to have expected Link to refuse, so she did not show much disappointment. Instead, there was a firm light in her eyes, as if to say, "I will definitely convince you."

"But, Link, this matter is really important. Only you can help me." There was a hint of pleading in Chloe's voice.

During this time, Chloe searched alone in the North for a long time and learned a lot of information. She knew what the existence of a hero meant to the dark elves, and she also knew that Link was the most outstanding person in the entire North. There were even rumors that Link was the representative of God in the world and had the power to resurrect the dead. Although these rumors were unconfirmed, Chloe believed them firmly. Because she knew that Link was the person who was most likely to be a hero.

However, the problem now is how to take Link away. Chloe knows that she cannot convince Link by her own strength. Therefore, she decides to take another approach - to speak with facts. She hopes that Link can see the crisis of the Dark Elf Capital with his own eyes, feel the urgency and danger there, and be willing to lend a hand.

However, just as Chloe was thinking about how to convince Link, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out in the dark of the alley! The sound was sharp and piercing, as if something was approaching rapidly.

Link and Chloe raised their heads alertly at the same time, looking in the direction of the sound. They saw a black light flashing out from the alley and heading straight for Chloe's head! The speed of this black light was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, leaving people no time to react.

"Be careful!" Link shouted, and at the same time quickly drew out the giant sword at his waist and slashed it out! With a loud "clang", the giant sword and the black light collided in the air, making a harsh metal collision sound.

Link looked closely and found that the black light was actually a sharp black tail that could be freely extended! The shape of the tail was a peach heart, which looked like a succubus's tail. At this moment, a woman wearing black sexy armor, with long purple-red hair and golden eyes, was slowly walking out of the darkness of the alley.

"Ladmia? You're really haunting me!" Link recognized the woman at a glance. It was the current captain of the Demon Guards, the Purple Gold Level warrior Ladmia. Her appearance surprised Link because he didn't expect to meet her here.
