Chapter: Chapter 448
“Are you really not going to do anything about them? The importance of this battle is no less than the one by the riverbank before.”
When the sun slowly ascended to its throne in the center of the sky, Bai Ling looked at the black-haired girl who was still hiding under the covers with her eyes closed and a peaceful expression, and couldn’t help but speak.
Bright sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the entire room. A normal person wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly under such circumstances.
As for our Miss Lethitia, she was quite normal in this regard.
Opening her eyes a crack, revealing her dark eyes with a slight redness, she parted her lips slightly, emitting a delicate voice: “I’m too tired, I don’t want to move.”
This voice… Bai Ling couldn’t help but cover her nose with her hand. Lethitia right now was like a small flower that had just weathered a storm, truly evoking a sense of pity from the bottom of one’s heart.
Such a flower-like girl should be cherished and protected in the palm of one’s hand. Anyone who saw Lethitia now would surely think so.
And who else could be the culprit that turned the normally energetic Demon King Miss into this state?
Of course, it was our Steel Gay Miss Bai.
Perhaps because she had spent too much energy on studying the divine blood these past few days, Lethitia’s condition yesterday was clearly not good. After struggling with our Miss Bai for a while, she fell into a disadvantage.
One could imagine what Miss Bai, who had finally succeeded in counterattacking, would do after that.
In short, in just one night, Miss Sword Saint had successfully turned the Demon King Miss into a helpless cripple, and the state of being a cripple would last for several days.
“It’s not that bad, I didn’t use that much force.”
“Do you dare to put your hand on your conscience and say that again?” Lethitia extended her hand from under the covers and slowly gave Miss Bai the middle finger. This guy really didn’t know her limits, like a beast that had lost its mind. It’s just that she got to be on top for once, was it necessary to be so crazy?
I wasn’t this wild when I was on top, this guy, sigh.
“Can’t you really get up?”
“Do you think I’m faking it? I can’t feel my lower body at all right now. You might have directly broken my spine.” Lethitia opened her tired eyes, tilted her head to look at Bai Ling, her large, watery eyes gazing at the Sword Saint.
Being looked at by such eyes, Bai Ling couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt. She actively avoided the girl’s gaze and uttered a weak defense in a soft voice, “I couldn’t help myself…”
Who could blame her when the body beside her was so tempting? Anyone in her position yesterday would have done the same!
It’s only natural human instinct!
“Alright, alright, I know you’re a pervert. Fortunately, I’ve already prepared what Linglong wanted last night. Help me deliver it to the Bone Wing Tribe later.” Despite being exhausted mentally and physically, Lethitia hadn’t forgotten the important matters. She still had to send something to Linglong.
It’s just that her current state was not suitable for going out, so she had to ask Miss Bai to make a trip for her.
“Okay, I got it. Should I take the things over now?” Miss Bai would naturally not refuse this small request. After all, she was the one who turned Lethitia into this state, so she had to help Lethitia finish her work out of reason and emotion!
Besides, what was their relationship now? Lethitia’s business was her business, Bai Ling’s business!
“Be back soon, and bring me some lunch from the Bone Wing Tribe. The food from the Silver Fang Tribe is really bad.” After saying that, Lethitia covered herself with the blanket again, looking like she intended to continue lying in bed.
With a slightly doting look at Lethitia, who was hiding under the covers, Miss Bai rolled out of bed. After a simple dressing up, she walked out of the bedroom.
She put on the white bunny ears that Lethitia had prepared for her. These bunny ears were easy to put on, much like ordinary hair clips.
Bai Ling looked at herself in the mirror, felt that there were no problems, and then shifted her gaze to the two large wooden barrels filled with a two-colored solution beside her. These were the detonating agents that Lethitia had worked hard to prepare yesterday. Delivering these things to the Bone Wing Tribe was her task for today.
For the powerful Miss Bai Ling, these items had no impact on her flight speed. In just a few minutes, she had landed at the entrance of the Bone Wing Tribe.
Although she could directly enter the tribe to find Linglong, doing so would be somewhat impolite. Therefore, Bai Ling stood obediently at the gate and informed the guards of her purpose.
Upon hearing Bai Ling’s explanation, these soldiers immediately made way. They had already received orders that someone would be delivering two large barrels of items today.
However, the order stated that a black-haired girl would lead and a white-haired young girl would follow behind. But now, only a white-haired girl with bunny ears had arrived. However, it wasn’t a big problem, as they were all from the same group.
Perhaps because it was almost noon, Linglong was at home. Bai Ling knocked on the door twice, and the door was opened by Yin Ya.
“Miss Bai?” The dog-eared girl, who had changed into a black and white long dress, peeked behind Bai Ling with a confused look, seemingly wondering why only Bai Ling had come this time.
Where was Miss Lethitia? Shouldn’t these two always be together?
“Lethitia has some matters and cannot come. She asked me to deliver the materials you requested, Linglong.” Bai Ling pointed to the two large wooden barrels at her feet and explained.
This reason was quite normal, and Yin Ya didn’t suspect anything. She opened the door and let Bai Ling in.
Linglong, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, had already rushed to Bai Ling’s side to check the liquids that Bai Ling had brought. The Dragon Girl’s face was filled with an evil smile, which looked particularly creepy.
The innocent Yin Ya couldn’t help but shiver and quietly reminded, “Sister Linglong, your smile is very scary.”
“Huh? Is my smile very scary?” Linglong, awakened from her fantasies of rampant destruction, rubbed her face belatedly.
“No matter how leniently you judge, your smile can be described as evil.” Even Miss Bai agreed with Yin Ya.
“Cough, cough, cough, don’t mind it, don’t mind it. I was just thinking that with these things, we might be able to take down the Steel Spear Tribe tomorrow and make that wicked tribe disappear from this vast grassland!”
With such powerful weapons, Linglong really couldn’t find a reason to lose, could she? How many shots could that sturdy city wall withstand in front of the divine blood bombs?
Ten shots? Or twenty shots?
Linglong dared to bet that the city wall, which was said to be indestructible, would be blown to pieces in front of these terrifying divine blood bombs. If she hadn’t had enough divine blood, Linglong would have even wanted to carpet bomb the Steel Spear Tribe before launching the attack.
“I’ll take these things to the workshop first and have the artisans rush to make the bombs and send them to the front line. By the time of the general offensive tomorrow, the Steel Spear Tribe will definitely like the gift I give them.”
Saying that, Linglong, without regard for her image, picked up the two large barrels under the gaze of Bai Ling and Yin Ya, flapped her little wings, and disappeared with a swish.
The belated Yin Ya let out a cry of alarm. She was Linglong’s personal assistant, and now her boss had suddenly disappeared. What should she do?
The little dog-girl, completely at a loss, turned her gaze to Miss Bai, hoping that this relatively reliable lady could give her some advice.
Bai Ling did not disappoint and gave her suggestion, a very Sword Saint-like suggestion, “Let’s go to the cafeteria.”
“Eh?!”
…
As the Bone Wing Tribe was secretly preparing its secret weapon, the Lion Chief of the Steel Spear Tribe finally received the weapon he had high hopes for.
A large bird covered in colorful feathers flapped its wings and slowly landed on the temporarily cleared open space. Its size was enormous, as tall as a three-story building. The air currents generated by its landing alone were enough to prevent those below from lifting their heads.
A huge box was tied to the bird’s claws. This was the invincible weapon that the Lion Chief had purchased from the merchants, which was enough to reverse the balance of power.
A bird-tribe beastman, wearing a black robe embroidered with golden patterns, descended lightly from the bird’s back. With a hint of impatience on her face, she walked straight to the goat-horned merchant and took out a wooden board.
“Your expedited cargo, remember to give a good review.”
After delivering the goods with an extremely arrogant attitude, the young girl beastman with a few gray feathers on her head snorted, and without even looking at the Lion beastman beside her, she leaped back onto the bird’s back.
Another gust of wind, and the bird flapped its wings and disappeared into the clouds.
Decisive and abrupt, it was enough to make people feel annoyed.
“These guys’ tempers are getting worse and worse.” The goat-horned merchant’s expression wasn’t very good either. If it weren’t for the fact that he and that girl belonged to the same organization, that arrogant guy would probably have ignored him completely.
“Heh, I’ve heard for a long time that these flying guys have bad tempers, and today I finally know it’s not just a rumor.” The Lion Chief, sharing the same fate as the goat-horned merchant, felt a bit better now, after all, a fellow unlucky person was being looked down upon with him.
Compared to the attitude of that bird-tribe beastman, he was more concerned about the secret weapon he had been eagerly anticipating.
He walked up to the exquisitely crafted metal box, the chief reached out his hand and caressed the cold, hard object, “Let me see if the weapon you mentioned is as powerful as you say.”
At this moment, the goat-horned merchant also put away the dissatisfaction on his face regarding his colleague. He walked up to the metal box and gently pressed the hidden clasps on both sides. With a crisp click, the lid of the metal box slid open to one side, revealing the terrifying black weapon within.
It was a pure black armor with sharp angles, and a Ferocious spear covered with golden patterns.
“This armor was crafted by our hired master using various rare metals. It can perfectly defend against any ordinary arrows and has strong defensive capabilities against low-level magical attacks. Wearing it, you will not fear any sneak attacks with arrows on the battlefield.” The goat-horned merchant first introduced the black armor, “This is also a gift we are giving you, as you are one of our major customers.”
Yes, this armor, which could be considered invincible at the border of the grassland, was merely a free gift. The item that the Lion Chief had been eagerly anticipating was actually the spear.
After introducing the gift, the goat-horned merchant paused intentionally, and then spoke with excitement about the spear, “As for this spear, it is extraordinary. Simply holding it can raise your strength by a level and grant you extremely powerful self-healing abilities.”
“Not only that, but every enemy you kill, this spear will draw a portion of the dead’s life force to nourish itself. On the battlefield, it can turn you into an invincible God of War!”
“However, there is a price to pay for using this spear. Every time you swing the spear, it will drain a portion of your life force. This is why it is so powerful. Of course, for the highly skilled Chief, this side effect is not worth mentioning.”
As long as one kills fast enough, the user will not bear the side effects. On the contrary, they can gain life force nourishment through the spear’s effects.
“Most importantly, this spear can also grant you the ability to use magic. The golden flames from the gods will burn your enemies, letting them understand that you are the true master of this grassland.”
The goat-horned merchant gesticulated wildly as he spoke of the spear’s benefits, “If it weren’t for your high creditworthiness in our organization, we wouldn’t sell such a powerful secret treasure to you. Even people from those big tribes who want to buy this kind of weapon, we wouldn’t agree.”
“Oh, could it be that they couldn’t afford the price?” The Lion Chief reached out and grasped the shaft of the golden-patterned spear. As a faint, high-pitched bird cry sounded in his ears, he felt a surge of hot and powerful energy suddenly appear within his body.
This feeling of power made him extremely intoxicated. He now wanted to rush out of the camp with this spear and slaughter his enemies in their formations.
“You could say that you are the only one who offered a high price, and this spear naturally belongs to you.” The goat-horned merchant chuckled. Of course, he was lying.
Such weapons were piled up like mountains in their warehouse. Only these ignorant bumpkins would treat these things as treasures.
After all, to be precise, the raw materials for the spear were nothing too common, just ordinary black iron, but the place where this black iron was produced was quite special.
After being soaked in divine blood for a long time, these originally ordinary ores also gained some of the characteristics of divine blood. However, compared to the extremely potent divine blood, the effects of weapons made from these ores were slightly milder.
…
“What?! The Steel Spear Tribe launched an attack last night?”
Just as dawn broke, Linglong, who was sleeping soundly in her dreams, was rudely awakened. As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard news that made her sleepiness fly away.
The cat-girl with neat black short hair nodded and handed the urgent report she had just received to Linglong.
While Linglong was reading the urgent report, the cat-girl briefly explained what had happened on the front line. “The enemy’s sneak attack time was after midnight. They made no attempt to conceal themselves. They directly opened the camp gate and charged towards our position.”
Such a charge was naturally detected by the scouts of the Bone Wing Tribe. However, it was in the middle of the night, and most of the beastman soldiers were resting, with only a small number of sentry soldiers remaining awake.
Logically speaking, with these soldiers guarding the camp, they should be able to hold on until most of the soldiers woke up and joined the battle. After all, their own camp was not easy to attack.
And once the main army joined the battle, that small group of attacking cavalry would be sending themselves to their deaths. The difference in numbers would be enough to negate any difference in strength.
But things did not develop in the direction the Bone Wing Tribe had hoped. The Steel Spear Tribe’s cavalry broke through the Bone Wing Tribe’s defenses at an extremely fast speed and performed a spectacular display of seven entries and seven exits in the camp. It wasn’t until the generals in the camp managed to barely organize the chaotic army that they reluctantly led the cavalry away.
This night raid directly broke the morale of the Bone Wing Tribe. Being invaded and slaughtered by a cavalry force inside their camp, it was no wonder their morale crashed.
Fortunately, the morale of these soldiers was already quite high, and they believed that the Divine Maiden could lead them to victory. Otherwise, in the chaotic situation last night, they would not have been able to be organized to counterattack.
“Are those cavalrymen divine blood warriors?” Linglong stared at the battle report dumbfounded, her small brain unable to figure out how her army had lost.
There were only about a hundred of those cavalrymen. How could her army of over ten thousand be so easilyBreached? Who could have expected this?
Even if they had the advantage of a surprise attack, the Bone Wing Tribe was not completely unprepared. Those defensive measures were absolutely sufficient for general night raids. It’s just that the enemy’s strength this time exceeded everyone’s expectations.
“No, our soldiers captured one of the cavalrymen later. He had not ingested divine blood.” The cat-girl shook her head. The fact that he was not a divine blood warrior was actually bad news. “He’s very tight-lipped and refused to say anything. It will take some time to pry open his mouth.”
“But based on the testimony of our soldiers, we can conclude that there was an extremely powerful spellcaster among that cavalry. It was that spellcaster who shattered the camp gate with a single blow.”
Alright, this was indeed a big trouble. Linglong sighed and got out of bed. She hadn’t even reached the battlefield yet, and she had already received such bad news. It was hard not to believe that God was making things difficult for her.
Was it because she had been pretending to be a god too much that God was unhappy? Linglong muttered to herself in her heart.
It was too petty. She hadn’t done anything bad at all.
“Is that troop almost at the front line by now?” Fortunately, she still had her trump card weapon, the super bomb made from divine blood, which could definitely engulf those cavalry in a brilliant golden fireworks display.
“Yes, if they haven’t been delayed on the road, they should reach the front line within an hour.”
“Let’s get ready. This battle, I’m afraid I’ll have to personally take charge.”
“Understood!”
About two hours later, Linglong arrived at a desolate camp. The camp had been raided and massacred not long ago, and the scattered wreckage and bloodstains had not yet been cleaned up.
Painful wails echoed continuously in the camp. They were the soldiers who were injured during the chaos of the night. They were lucky to have saved their lives, but they could no longer participate in subsequent battles.
A faint smell of blood still lingered in the air, subtly informing everyone of the tragedy that had just occurred. Linglong took a deep breath and looked at the generals kneeling on the ground, asking coldly, “Do you know the specific situation of that cavalry?”
A wolf-like general with a white bandage wrapped around his forehead raised his head and replied loudly, “We only know now that the cavalry was personally led by the chief of the Steel Spear Tribe.”
“The number one warrior on the border of the grassland? I’ve heard his name long ago, but… do you know who that spellcaster who blew open the camp gate was?” The chief of the Steel Spear Tribe was indeed powerful, Linglong knew that, but she had never taken him seriously.
On the battlefield, the role of individual combat power was ultimately limited. That chief was not strong enough to change the balance of victory and defeat by himself.
Besides, the battlefield was not a dueling arena. Her side also had quite a few brave warriors. Sending three or four to entangle that chief would suffice. If worse came to worst, she would also join in. No matter how powerful that chief was, he could only meet his end when surrounded by five or six warriors of the same level.
Therefore, Linglong had always looked down on that chief who only had violence in his mind. You are strong, I acknowledge your strength, but this is a war between tribes, and no matter how strong you are alone, it is limited.
Compared to this powerful warrior whose reputation she had heard long ago, the mysterious spellcaster worried her more. Warriors and mages could not be compared in terms of destructive power. Low-level warriors had no long-range attack power at all, but mages were different.
If there was a mage of the same level as the Steel Spear Chief among the enemy, it would be a great threat to the attacking forces of the Bone Wing Tribe.
Linglong herself was a spellcaster, so she knew very well the effect a spellcaster could have in battle, which was much more effective than a warrior of the same level.
“Um, according to the soldiers, the spellcaster who used magic to shatter the gate seemed to be the chief of the Steel Spear Tribe.” The wolf-like general said the information he obtained in a confused tone, “They said that the black-armored knight at the head raised his spear towards the gate, and then a brilliant golden light, which they couldn’t look at directly, shot out from the tip of the spear, shattering the camp gate.”
Most of the warriors who witnessed this blow died in the chaos of last night. Only a few survived, but those few were currently mentally unstable and could only utter some incoherent sentences.
