Picking up the war hammer, he struggled to free the slime that was entangled with him. Without saying anything else, Chang Yanagikawa turned around and ran towards the Rose soldiers who were blocking the stairs.
Facing the aggressive orc army, the instructions that Kuiyi gave to his troops were very simple.
—Cover Chang Yanagawa’s retreat at all costs.
No one is allowed to leave here unless Kui Yi gives the order personally.
Many of Rose's elite troops had their doubts about this decision, but no one really questioned it.
They just need to do their best to complete the orders of their superiors.
They were bred for this reason.
Each of Rose's elite soldiers can fight against a hundred enemies alone, squeezing out everything they have learned in the brutal training ground.
They actually managed to slightly resist the orcs' attack in the narrow passage.
Kui Yi personally resisted Yang Yu.
Signaling with his eyes that Bai Jin and the others should not interfere and go help other soldiers, Yang Yu deliberately slowed down the frequency of attack and fought with Kui with swords.
Compared to Chang Liuchuan, Yang Yu was more concerned about the abnormal condition of Kuiyi.
What is going on with this state? How can I get rid of it
Yang Yu was full of questions, and he wished he could just lift up the helmet in front of him so that he could tell him everything he knew.
But the soldiers of the Rose Empire have always been tight-lipped.
Yang Yu could only proceed step by step to see if he could find the flaw.
"You are really willing to sacrifice so many of you. Is it worth it to exchange one life?"
Facing Yang Yu's doubts, Kui Yi swung his two swords and sneered.
“You simply don’t understand why we do this.
You are just a bunch of savage orcs!
I don’t even know what glory is!”
"What honor? I can see you're not after that kind of boring stuff."
At this point, Yang Yu's tone became more serious.
"You are working so hard for someone, right?"
Helmet sneered expressionlessly:
“That’s why I say it’s impossible for orcs to understand us humans.
To die for the empire and for the nobles in high positions is the greatest honor for a soldier.
You have no idea who the Chief really is, nor the meaning of his existence.
Vokris doesn't even know what the honor I am protecting is."
In just a few words, Yang Yu knew that it was impossible to get any information from Kui Yi, even if he was hung up.
However, this semi-conscious state is exactly the same as the illegal workers controlled by the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce.
It was very likely that Hei Yi had fallen under an invisible charm spell.
Since he couldn't get any information out of the man, Yang Yu didn't bother talking any more and launched a more fierce attack.
Heiyi used both blades to block and defend himself.
Seeing Chang Yanagikawa hurriedly climbed the stairs and disappeared on the upper level, Hei ordered his troops to fight and retreat without any delay, retreating to the stairs guarded by the heavy knights, preparing to slip away.
Inspired by Yang Yu, the orc troops rushed into the Blazing City like a fierce tide, until they submerged the entire city.
Along the way, Yang Yu saw many traps built in advance by Rose's soldiers.
Some of them he could quickly disarm using his speed, while others he would only activate when he got there.
These traps, hidden nowhere, greatly slowed down the pace of the orcs' attack.
Since the number of soldiers that could be transported away via the teleportation device was extremely limited, an unexpectedly large number of soldiers remained in Blazing City to perform cover missions.
They fought bravely and only surrendered to the Wansheng Kingdom after their troop losses exceeded 30% or after they completed their covering mission.
Yang Yu led his troops in pursuit, but due to the structure of Chihuo City, the speed of advancement was not as fast as imagined.
When Yang Yu reached the teleportation device with great momentum, the teleportation device installed by the Rose Empire was activated again.
The four blue pillars on the fifth level emitted a dazzling light. The soldiers on the disc were enveloped in white light and disappeared without a trace with a "whoosh".
There were still many soldiers waiting to be teleported, but the arrival of Yang Yu and his team disrupted their original plans.
The soldiers of the Rose Empire organized themselves to fight against Yang Yu's troops, but they still couldn't resist the orcs' attack.
An officer fiddled with the control panel of the transporter and entered something. With a shrill sound, the transporter emitted thick black smoke and completely stopped working.
The destruction of the transmission device also brought about a series of chain reactions.
After witnessing the bravery and fighting ability of Yang Yu's troops, the Luo Ze soldiers who remained in Chihuo City surrendered completely to the Wansheng National Army without much resistance.
At this point, congratulations on the recapture of all the volcanoes.
A few days later.
Celebrations of the great victory at Huoshan, along with battle reports from multiple fronts, were transmitted to Baihua City.
In less than two months, all areas around the Qinghe volcano were recaptured.
Upon hearing the news, the people of Wansheng were excited and spontaneously organized a celebration.
At night, residents of Baihuadu decorate the streets with lights and colors.
Everyone was immersed in the celebration of victory.
but
On top of a distinctive clock tower in Baihua City, a black shadow was watching the cheerful atmosphere on the street, seemingly out of tune with the festive mood.
He was wrapped in white bandages all over his body, and his eye sockets were sunken with deep dark circles, as if he hadn't slept for months.
Avoiding the glare, he hid in the shadows of the attic, muttering to himself:
“It’s really joyful.
They are so happy just because they won a battle. They have no idea how to obtain true happiness.
Only by working, working non-stop, can you grasp true happiness.
Their smiling faces are so pathetic.
In this city, only a few people can grasp true happiness.
If everyone worked as hard as I do, the world would be a better place.”
Leaning against the wall, the diligent Ling Shu folded his hands and kept tapping his elbows with his index fingers, looking very annoyed.
The person he was looking for was probably not immersed in this cheerful atmosphere, just like him, but was still working.
In order to meet that person, one must be careful not to violate the rules they have set between each other.
Only by meeting the client can we trace the whereabouts of the kind grandmother's "son" and learn more details.
It would be fine if the kind grandmother's "son" died directly, but this state of not being able to sense it, yet somehow feeling that it is still alive, is the most maddening.
The power of the devil can only be touched by the people of the sect, and everyone else must be killed without mercy.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the attic. A young man with morning glory vines wrapped around his body stepped into the attic, and Ling Shu quietly disappeared.
The young man grabbed the handrail and looked out at the Baihua City from the attic, smiling.
“It’s been three months since I came out.
I really saw a lot of good things, which are totally incomparable to plants.
The orcs who ruled the country became more and more prosperous, while the plant race became increasingly decadent.
When will we become the same? "
I owe you one update tonight, and I'll add a few more during the Spring Festival.
I sorted out the outline today and looked over some of what I wrote before. I saw a lot of missing words, extra words, and typos. If it's been more than three days or a week, permission is required to make changes.
I will adjust it later when I have more time.
Let’s see if we can get back to the normal update rhythm tomorrow night.
