“Oioi… Where did you learn that move?”
“En~ My Lord, don’t… don’t speak.”
“Go easy, half-step Fifth Tier, I’m a little scared!”
“Alright, alright~”
“Where did this black ribbon come from?”
“Qiu… Qiu’er gave it to me. She said it could be used to cover my… my eyes.”
“Ah?”
“…..”
Inside the room, with windows and doors bolted shut.
The air seemed to be filled with a pinkish warmth.
Xiang Yi was on top.
Her fingers tightly clutched the black ribbon, the other end wrapped around Lin Yi’s neck.
“My Lord.”
Xiang Yi lowered her head slightly, her eyes, filled with affection, seemed to hold water as she looked at Lin Yi. “Didn’t you say you’d be leaving here in half a month? After today, your humble servant will lead the legion to clear out all the surrounding territories, alright?”
“Let’s not talk about that now…”
Lin Yi responded, asking with a slight hesitation, “Besides, it’ll be dark soon. Are you sure you want to march tonight?”
“?”
Xiang Yi’s movements abruptly paused, and a blush first appeared on her flushed face, followed by a hint of confusion.
Soon after, she quickly realized the meaning of Lin Yi’s words, and couldn’t help but shyly tighten her grip on the black ribbon, retaliating fiercely and quickly.
“Hiss…”
“Sister Yi, you’re not taking advantage!”
………
………
The first ray of morning sunlight the next day passed through the window, landing precisely on Lin Yi’s slightly dark eye sockets.
“It’s the second day?”
He opened his blurry, tired eyes. The empty pillow beside him only had a few fallen strands of long hair.
Looking at the prepared meal on the cabinet nearby, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
She ran quite fast!
However, it seemed he hadn’t won either; a half-step Fifth Tier was truly terrifying.
He got up and tidied his clothes, opening the 99+ unread notifications from various templates while eating breakfast.
“Your warrior, Zhang Fan, was discovered touching his own corpse in the morgue at night, causing localized panic.”
“Your commoners found an alien race territory while exploring in the west. Detailed information (click to inquire).”
“Your commoner, Xiaohua, has made a new breakthrough in developing Abomination Plague. It can be temporarily injected into living bodies and detonated after a period, but its power is somewhat reduced.”
“Your city defense army has killed 210 more alien race.”
“Your Light Elves commoners have completed a gestation. The number of Light Elves in the territory +2!”
“Your hero, Xiang Yi, has seen a significant increase in her happiness index, and her cultivation speed has increased!”
“The territory’s aura of light continues to spread, detected by a powerful existence. Special reminder (due to the influence of the Rift Illusion Generator, hostile creatures cannot directly detect territory characteristics).”
“…….”
“Are there more alien race reconnaissance units approaching the territory?”
Lin Yi repeatedly reviewed the information summary, his accelerated thought process running at its peak.
The alien race approaching the territory had all been cleared.
The remaining alien race on the large map were all quite far away, impossible to wipe out in a single day.
If only he could quickly infiltrate the areas where the alien race were located…
Establishing a military base deep within alien race territory and using teleportation gates would surely accelerate the slaughter.
Lin Yi pondered, his gaze falling on the last message.
Powerful existence…
Finally, could he attract a true angel to descend upon his territory?
Just as his thoughts were swirling, a private message arrived.
It was from Li Xue.
“Boss, an alien race legion might be approaching your territory this afternoon!”
The message also included a few pictures at the end.
Lin Yi clicked to view them.
What came into view was a well-equipped army composed of multiple races.
Their numbers were approximately thirty thousand, and their strength was not to be underestimated.
“A big one’s coming!” Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the Hunter Medal appeared in his hand.
…
“The direction should be correct.”
Romani gazed at the distant basin, the excitement in her eyes growing even stronger.
The three reconnaissance teams sent out had gone silent.
This precisely confirmed her conjecture.
“Queen, there’s a change ahead.”
A dark-skinned elf man ran over, reporting, “A newly cultivated farmland has been discovered.”
“Farmland!”
Romani looked at the empty basin in the distance, her red lips curving upwards. “Accelerate forward!”
“Yes.”
The elf man relayed the order to the legion’s high command.
The army’s marching speed increased again. Not long after, Romani only felt the scene in her eyes briefly blur. When she saw clearly again, she was already in a deep black field.
“Warning: You have illegally entered another lord’s strong claim territory!”
“As expected, there’s a hidden magic array!”
Grabbing a handful of soil mixed with red grain seeds, a playful look flashed in Romani’s eyes.
This kind of concealment array didn’t even possess offensive capabilities. Besides being able to obscure the large map’s vision, it seemed to have no other special features.
“Nando, you will temporarily command the army.”
After Romani finished speaking to the male elf, she took the rest of the Eternal Night Elves and disappeared into the air, holding bows and moving along the flanks of the army.
After all, she was a lord capable of soloing a world BOSS. She wasn’t so foolish as to abandon her race’s advantages and charge in recklessly.
Even if it came to the worst.
Should the battle turn unfavorable, being on the edge of the battlefield would allow her to retreat calmly.
The army hadn’t gone far on the black soil when a majestic city wall appeared in Romani’s sight.
“Do you want to set Eternal Night Elves (Aptitude: Pristine) as a Hunter target?”
“Do you want to set Dragonkin (Aptitude: Legendary) as a Hunter target?”
“Do you want to…”
On the city wall, Lin Yi lay comfortably in a chair, enjoying massages from Wang Qiu’er and Ailina.
From time to time, he opened his mouth to accept snacks they fed him, while on the other side, he used the Hunter Medal to “appraise” the group of alien race appearing in front.
The professionals below watched dumbfounded.
“Ding! Notification: The Eternal Night Elves Lord – Romani Yage has declared war on you. Due to the opponent possessing a forged strong claim – Historical Struggle! Upon victory, you will receive all profits from your territory!”
“As expected, it’s a top-tier racial lord…”
Lin Yi stared at the elves who thought they were well hidden, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
Elves!
Damn it, he regretted it greatly when the elf twins in the tavern slipped away last time.
This time, directly capturing elves to make them his commoners, that should be fine, right?
The moment the notification sounded!
The army of thirty thousand began to stir!
A Dark Elf soared into the air, holding a banner suspended in mid-air.
As he continuously waved the banner, the army below was like a waking lion, revealing its ferocious fangs.
“Boss… are you really okay? Those alien race look different from the previous batches of scouts.”
Below the city wall, Chai Yu’s face showed some unease.
Although he didn’t recognize some of the creatures in this alien race army, from their current appearance, they were clearly relaying orders!
Once the enemy’s lower-tier warriors received clear instructions, a battle would be inevitable!
Attacking now with the cannons on the city wall… could solve a lot of trouble.
“No worries.”
Lin Yi smiled, knowing his thoughts, but had no intention of activating the magic cannons.
If he used cannons to swat flies, where would his legion warriors get experience from?
“Dawdling…”
Watching the massive alien race army remain motionless, Lin Yi gradually lost patience. He stood up and said lightly, “Open the city gates, and meet the enemy outside!”
