Chapter 57: Youre Somewhat Chafing Me
The edge of the massive bone sickle pierced through the trolls chest seemingly imbuing the rose chains that entwined around the handle with vitality. As if the sickle possessed a system of veins and arteries scarlet wisps of blood revealed themselves brimming with excitement as if it was savoring some sort of delicacy.
As this happened the expression in the trolls eyes turned increasingly vacant while its body began to wither and dry up.
Scrape! Ji Bai pulled out the large sickle. With a sucking noise the remaining blood drops on the sickles edge were absorbed. The rose chains that were wrapped around the handle pulsed with crimson radiance. However as if it was just making a series of burps after a satisfactory meal the phenomenon was only short-lived.
Although the blood of a troll doesnt taste good it was fortunate that someDivine Vein was running inside him. Are you content now? Ji Bai muttered to the bone sickle as she shrank it until it became a unique fang-shaped hair clip. After pinning it onto her hair she waved her hands. As if tacitly understanding something the few tiny bats that were biting onto the trolls husk-like corpse dragged the corpse back and forth in the air a good number of times. Finally after they accumulated enough strength they threw the withered corpse downwards as if it were garbage.
She shot a glance at Lil Sha who was now in her arms. After ascertaining that she didnt suffer any accidental injury in the fight earlier she picked her up and flew towards the ground.
Lil Sha expressed that her condition had been steady throughout the entire ordeal. With that being said however the 0v0 expression that she had plastered on her face never fell apart. While part of it was both sincere and heartfelt the other part was actually an act. In such a situation pretending to be an ignorant piggy was the best way she could preserve her life. As Lil Sha had personally heard the trolls words and witnessed their despair earlier she didnt want to make the slightest slip-up and risk angering the temperamental little demon.
It wasnt only until the battle had ended did Lil Sha immediately begin to fidget. That was because the silver-haired girl whose height was the same as hers was still carrying her like a kid in her embrace.
Ummmexcu excuse me Miss Vampire? Youre somewhat chafing me can you use another posture to hug me?~ Lil Sha said in a pleading tone.
This isnt good theres no way I want to say such words if possible. However all of this is just to care for my poor head. Why is this girls chest so hard? Is there a piece of steel plate built inside it?
Bam! At the moment these words fell a crisp sound of cracking noises closeby and a gentle voice arrived at her ears.
Eh? Lil Sha looked around her surroundings and saw that it was pitch-black on all sides.
Theres no one here? Where did the voice come from?
Erm Umm are you alright Miss Vampire? Your complexion suddenly turned bad Lil Sha fearfully shrank her head.
Haha. What should I do? I really want to throw her down but will this altitude turn her into a cat-pancake? No I shant lose my cool here! How can a lady with self-restraint such as mine be so narrow-minded?
Midwinter was fast approaching bringing with it bone-chilling winds that carried traces of ice. As it whipped past peoples faces it couldnt help but make them feel an excruciating sense of pain.
On the towering town walls of the Border Town these winds had turned into a symbol for the end of life.
Lil Zhan hang in there! Reinforcements from headquarters will soon be here. We will win as long as we persevere! Ill soon be able to reunite with my family. Bloodstains that had yet to dry up littered every brick and tile of the town while bodies that were dilapidated to the extent their shapes were unrecognizable littered the ice-cold brick floor. As the icy wind blew and the blood dried up one could tell that this place was the site of a deathly struggle not that long ago.
Several knights in their time-worn armor were crowding together. In the middle of a blanket laid a young knight on his last breath.
The knight known as Lil Zhan was currently laying on a blanket that was hastily weaved up by robes. Shockingly there was a large cruel cavity in the area where his chest was filled with broken and rotten flesh. However it was very lucky that this knight had been breathing up until now.
CCaptain? Lil Zhans voice sounded like a lamp running out of oil a flickering flame in the middle of a rainstorm.
Just lie there properly and dont make any noises a middle-aged man solemnly said. He was kneeling before the young knight with a stern expression on his face.
Lil Li Lil Zhao you two quickly bring Lil Zhan to the first aid area. Leave this place to me. The middle-aged man carefully put on his helmet as he looked at the dense crowd of tall and sturdy silhouettes below.
No! Without receiving any orders from headquarters a knight will never leave on the eve of battle! Despite how his surrounding companions were trying to dissuade him Lil Zhan picked up his sword and stood up stubbornly.
Knock it off Lil Zhan! Dont forget you still have an elderly mother. What would the old woman do if something worse were to happen to you?! The middle-aged man furrowed his eyebrows.
Honesty valor righteousness sacrifice and honor As a knight I have once vouched to fortify the town walls with my flesh. Captain everyone you have all made that oath as well. Lil Zhan had a pale complexion. As his crooked body slightly wavered fresh blood dyed his Radiant Knight gown that was imbued with a sun cross crimson. And yet the unrelenting will in his eyes still remained.
In the warm cozy room designed in a Western European style a Radiant Knight emblem hung on the wall.
Esteemed Section Head! The frontline knights urgently reported that the trolls are about to break through the city gate and that the situation is in an extremely critical position! Theyre requesting for reinforcement to assist them! A series of trembling could be clearly heard from the voice of the knight that was kneeling on one knee.
Mhm? Just a short amount of time has passed and theyre about to break through? Are these frontline knights just a bunch of weaklings? Or rather have they forgotten their knights creed? Have they abandoned the city walls and fled instead of fighting? I dont care. Tell them to hold on for just a moment more. Crossing his legs Lan Yu unhurriedly said this while peeling off the shell of a peanut.
Bu
Leave. As your section head I naturally have my own plans. Or are you thinking of disobeying your orders during wartime? Lan Yu looked downwards and shot a glance at the knight that was currently kneeling down.
Yes yes
