“My lord…”
“Old man…”
“You first.”
“You first.”
“Hahahaha…”
The old man and the young man spoke in unison, then burst into laughter together.
“The method to quickly increase the army’s strength is far away, yet right before our eyes.”
“How could we have forgotten about that Witch Miss!”
After Klara declared war,
Lin Yi finally realized, he wanted experience points?
Isn’t this the best experience baby right now?
Those undead creatures lack intelligence, move stiffly and slowly, and are naturally countered by the power of light.
And they are famous worldwide for their terrifying, endless numbers, like a tide.
Equipping warriors with the Baptism Blessing with weapons forged by Li Dachui to chop down these skeleton idiots is truly simpler than slaughtering chickens!
“However…” Wang Fugui pondered slightly, then said with concern, “They are, after all, an alien race that crossed the barrier to descend upon the Blue Star region through special means. I’m afraid they won’t be so easy to deal with.”
When Wang Qianqian entered Klara’s territory last time, she only found scattered white bones, not many undead units.
As a high-level civilization’s Witch, Klara absolutely couldn’t have only the surface-level undead army.
Lin Yi also regained some rationality upon hearing this, thought for a moment, and said, “Go get the surveillance.”
“Okay!”
Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that the former was talking about the Observer’s Eye.
He was about to turn and leave when Lin Yi called out to him again, “Right, let Qianqian go to the Witch’s territory again.”
“Find the undead army and calculate the time it will take for them to reach our territory.”
“Understood!”
Wang Fugui hurriedly left the main building.
Lin Yi leaned against the window, his mind full of thoughts.
The resurrection effect of the Pure Land had already been verified. Dealing with Klara easily wasn’t a problem, but he couldn’t just kill her in one blow.
If this war was victorious,
would Witch Miss… become afraid of him, causing the Fated Enemy bonus to become ineffective?
Just as he was weighing the pros and cons,
suddenly!
A heart-pounding aura shot up into the sky.
The aura was wild and surging, containing intense unwillingness and fury, as if transformed into pure power, pressing on his chest, making it difficult to breathe!
“That is…”
Lin Yi endured the discomfort, abruptly poked his head out the window, looked in the direction of the aura’s source, and his pupils instantly constricted.
The eastern training ground, where Xiang Yi was!
It was deep into the night.
The deep night sky should have been a uniform entity.
But…
Even without the Eye of Judgment, Lin Yi’s vision clearly showed a hundred-zhang-tall humanoid phantom, like a black hole devouring all light!
Directly below the phantom,
stood Xiang Yi, in silver armor, looking heroic and valiant.
At first glance, she resembled someone who had activated Susanoo…
The ribbon tying her hair had broken, and her waterfall-like black hair flew wildly in the chaotic energy currents.
The air around the black phantom seemed like boiling water, bubbling and intensifying.
Crack—
Where Xiang Yi stood, the adamantine rock used to build the training ground cracked with a bang, like fragile biscuits!
Immediately after, like dominoes falling, spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread in all directions.
Training equipment and wooden dummies swayed twice in the intense vibrations, then collapsed with a crash.
Almost instantly, the complete training ground was reduced to ruins.
“This… is force???”
Seeing this scene, this concept subconsciously formed in Lin Yi’s mind.
No other reason!
That black humanoid Susanoo… oh, phantom, seemed to be some kind of energy substance.
But…
This substance was extremely similar to the phenomenon caused by extreme gravity in Lin Yi’s understanding.
Yet it was definitely not the same kind; otherwise, let alone his small piece of land, perhaps the entire Trial Land would be doomed.
“She broke through!”
Lin Yi saw that the black phantom seemed to be spreading outwards, and his heart felt as if it was tightly gripped by an invisible hand, his breathing stopping.
Damn it, an increase in strength is a good thing, but you’re like a husky that likes to demolish the house…
The mere aftershock destroyed the training ground made of adamantine rock.
If the city walls or other buildings were to encounter that thing,
before Klara even attacked,
his side would surrender three minutes early, and the base would explode on its own.
Fortunately,
the anomaly only lasted for a moment, and the pitch-black phantom left a mess before disappearing.
If it had lasted a few more seconds, the adjacent animal pens and Freke’s entire family would have suffered.
“I must extort her properly!!”
“If she can’t pay, she’ll have to pay with her body!”
With the training ground destroyed, Lin Yi’s nose fumed with anger. He went down six floors in one breath, and accompanied by the mansion guards, walked towards the East Gate.
The East Gate was already packed with people.
Seeing him arrive, everyone automatically parted, creating a path for him to smoothly reach the center of the incident.
“Sister Yi… Sister Yi!”
Lin Yi came before Xiang Yi, and seeing her exquisite, oval-shaped face so close, he said heartbrokenly, “Do you know how much money this training ground cost me??”
Hearing about money, Xiang Yi, who hadn’t had time to fully appreciate her own improvement, immediately tensed her pretty face, “How much?”
Lin Yi held up two fingers, his expression as mournful as if he were reading his last will, “A full two… two hundred thousand purple crystal coins! For this training ground, I was…”
“Uh… my lord…”
Wang Fugui, who had just squeezed into the crowd, opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Lin Yi’s glare silenced him.
“My lord…” Xiang Yi’s delicate body trembled, her beautiful eyes wide, “Two hundred thousand??”
Although she was a general and didn’t manage finances,
she was still very clear about the concept of two hundred thousand purple crystal coins.
After years of monster hunting in the Spirit Hero Domain, she had only earned less than two hundred thousand gold coins, not even a fraction of it.
Xiang Yi’s first reaction was that Lin Yi was lying, but looking at his seemingly genuine expression, she couldn’t be sure.
“Sigh… You didn’t mean to.” Lin Yi took her soft, boneless hand, and tempted, “This lord won’t make you pay. You just…”
Sure enough…
My lord is lying.
Feeling the warmth from his palm, a blush crept onto Xiang Yi’s fair face.
This was Lin Yi holding her hand in front of everyone.
“Boss, rest assured!”
An untimely voice rang out.
“You damn…” Lin Yi turned his head, wanting to see which fellow was so tactless.
“Leave this to us!”
A Niu Ma captain stepped forward, adjusted his non-existent glasses with his index finger, and promised confidently, “Leave it to us. The day after tomorrow… no, if you don’t see a complete training ground by dawn, I’ll twist my head off and hang it on the city gate.”
Lin Yi’s forehead was covered in black lines. He suppressed the urge to kick him flying and gritted his teeth, “You’d better really fix it by dawn!! Everyone else, disperse! What are you looking at! Go to work!”
Soon, the gossiping crowd dispersed reluctantly, leaving only Lin Yi, Xiang Yi, and Wang Fugui in front of the ruins.
“Giggle giggle~”
Seeing his “scheme” thwarted, Xiang Yi took the opportunity to pull back her wrist from his grip, lightly covering her red lips as her shoulders trembled with laughter.
“Still laughing?”
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, suddenly revealing a dangerous expression. He stretched out his long arm and directly wrapped it around her slender waist, exposed outside her armor.
The moment Xiang Yi looked up in alarm, that old face with a mischievous smile had already pressed down, accurately capturing her soft, sweet red lips.
“Mmm mmm~”
As their lips intertwined, Xiang Yi felt her whole body go limp, her consciousness gradually blurring.
After a few minutes of indulgence, she suddenly remembered that Wang Fugui was still nearby.
“My… my lord…” She blushed and struggled free from Lin Yi’s devilish grasp, turning away in a panic, her fingers unconsciously smoothing her disheveled long hair.
“Cough cough.”
Lin Yi, however, was quite composed, and laughed, “It’s time to talk business! Let’s first see what surprise General Xiang’s breakthrough has brought us!”
…
PS: Originally, I planned to finish Xiang Yi’s breakthrough information in this chapter, but as I wrote, I felt it would be better to use some small segments to enrich the characters.
A bit of writer’s block, so today’s second chapter might be late.
