After Su Xiao swung his sword to kill a few charging orcs, he began to retreat towards the crowd of imperial troops behind him, the war had been going on for some time, the entire battlefield's battle line was drawn out, the rear was no longer that crowded.
After two hours of grueling killing, Su Xiao had already begun to get fatigued, during these two hours, he first killed the enemy in the front line, after which he was knocked out by the Dwarf Great Earth Cavalry, and then unintentionally flung into the back of the Horde Army by a Giant Elder Brother, and ultimately killed his way back from the back of the Horde Army to the top of the Black Earth Fortress.
Only two hours of intense fighting had left him more fatigued than the day and night of killing enemies in the previous battle.
This can't go on, Su Xiao looked around, no matter the morale of the imperial army, or the number of enemies killed exceeded the tribal army, the battle situation began to tilt towards the imperial side.
Realizing this situation, Su Xiao was ready to retreat to the imperial army to rest for a moment.
Resolving a few of the pouncing enemies, Su Xiao drew back, even if he couldn't sleep, letting him have a drink of water and rest for a few moments would be fine.
Just as Su Xiao was about to retreat to the crowd of the Imperial Army, a feeling of crisis appeared.
Su Xiao scanned his surroundings and didn't find any enemies that were too strong, but the sense of crisis not only didn't diminish, but instead it grew stronger and stronger, it was like he was locked by something.
"Sniper?"
Su Xiao perceived carefully and quickly denied the possibility of being targeted by a sniper, since the enemy did not appear, he continued to retreat.
Finally, two hours after the start of the war, Su Xiao realized that there was an opening to catch his breath, and he stood among the friendlies, took out a bottle of water, and drank it down in a big gulp.
After drinking some water, Su Xiao's entire body was a bit more energized, and he immediately began to treat the wounds on his body.
...
Inside the tribal army, a bald and strong man was holding a translucent tablet computer in his hand, which looked like a high-tech product.
The bald and strong man was wearing a leather jacket, and there were many high-tech products hanging on the belt around his waist, two energy guns, three plasma grenades, and already many unheard of high-tech products.
"Xi, I've arrived at the Black Earth War Zone, unexpected."
The bald burly man was video calling with the tablet in his hand, on the other side of the call was Queen Hee, and the leader of the Apocalypse Paradise side, Hee was standing in front of a pile of corpses, which was frozen by a layer of transparent crystals.
"You went to the Black Earth Warzone? Go there ..."
Xi was initially a bit puzzled, but then she thought of something and looked a bit displeased, there were a few transparent crystals floating beside her, and due to the change in her mood, those floating crystals turned red.
"Liuli's matter just like that forget it? She is your own sister, that little girl surgery when crying into what kind, you forget?"
The bald, burly man smiled, seemingly undaunted by Xi.
"Lan Jue, are you disobeying my orders, don't forget that this world is not your home turf. "
In front of the pile of corpses, Xi's silver hair was windless, and the few crystals floating beside her turned ice blue.
"Hoshi, don't talk to me in the same tone as you would to your subordinates, I was only drafted to your team for 'inexplicable' reasons, by all accounts I don't need to follow your orders, helping that little girl to come and kill people is only because she keeps begging me, I'm a soft heart. "
The bald, burly man, also known as Lan Jue's attitude began to harden.
Hoshi gazed at Lan Jue through one of the crystals in front of her, and after a few seconds, the crystal beside her returned to colorless.
"Lurie." ...
Hoshi looked sideways to her side as a breeze blew through her, a strand of silver hair sliding from her ear to her cheek.
"Come here."
As soon as Hoshi's words left her mouth, a young loli with the same hair color as hers walked up to her, her steps trembling.
"Sis ..."
Ruri had just opened her mouth when she realized something was wrong with Hoshi's gaze.
"My beautiful, generous, pure, and powerful sister-sama Queen Hoshi, what do you want to see me about."
Although little Lurie had gotten close to Xi, she was in a state of readiness to run, her lower half of her body that had been shattered by Su Xiao had already recovered.
"What favor did you give Lord Lan."
Hoshi didn't avoid Lan Jue who was keeping a long distance video call with her.
"Didn't...didn't give anything."
"..."
Hoshi looked at Ruri silently, and three seconds later, Ruri gulped, and ten seconds later, beads of sweat oozed from Ruri's cheeks.
"Just...just gave him the red crystal."
Ruri lowered her head.
"You're growing up and getting your wings. "
Hoshi's demeanor changed little; if it hadn't been her sister who did this, the other would already be a corpse.
"I ..."
Ruri was just about to speak when Hoshi waved her hand.
"What's done is done, don't regret it or I'm not your sister."
"Uh-huh."
Liuli nodded firmly, "I'm not willing to do it, although I'm no match for that man, I have leverage."
Hearing this firm tone from Lurie, the corner of Xi's mouth curled up slightly and turned to look at Lan Jue.
"You have to do something after receiving favors, find him, kill him, bring his head back, and this matter will be cleared."
"Of course."
Lan Jue knew clearly what the matter of two clearances in Xi's mouth was, this matter was not Liuli taking the initiative to find him, but he took the initiative to find Liuli.
"I have discovered the target's whereabouts, and will soon resolve it, as for bringing back the target's head, there is difficulty, if we fight at full strength, it's either he dies or I die,."
Lan Jue hung up the video call, he touched his bald head.
"What a difficult woman, maybe she has guessed something, this kind of intelligence is simply monster, or that little girl is good to fool."
Lan Jue pushed the orc beside him away and walked in the direction of the Black Earth Fortress.
...
The Great Canyon of the Shire, in a mountain range.
Here a small estimated conflict has just occurred, that is, the Imperial Army also the Horde Army daily war, the battle has ended.
The Imperial soldiers didn't seem to have many deaths or injuries, except that they looked a bit dumbfounded as they stared blankly at the mass of corpses on the hillside that had been frozen with crystals, all done by one man.
Next to the crystal corpse piles were dozens of Apocalypse Paradise's indentured servants, some of them were chatting idly, others were maintaining their weapons.
"That's how things are~"
In the crowd, Liuli looked like a schoolboy who had done something wrong with his head lowered, it looked like he knew he was wrong, in fact, there was not the slightest bit of remorse in those big eyes, using a paragraph to describe Liuli could not be more apt, admitting her mistake with an excellent attitude, she just wouldn't change.
"You did well."
Xi went against the norm and actually complimented Liuli.
"Huh?"
Ruri's scalp was like an electric shock, her sister's attitude was wrong, super wrong!
"What kind of person do you think, Lord Lan is."
Hoshi's question left Ruri in her daze a little confused.
"What kind of person? Eh~ Cunning? Money-hungry? A loner?"
Ruri cocked her head, she could never guess what Hoshi was thinking.
"He's a very 'unusual' person, from the time he entered the War World until now, he's been focusing on one thing, the destination of the World's Core."
"That's not normal?"
Liuli was a bit puzzled, she also wanted to get the World's Core, if she couldn't get it, all of them would be punished.
"Of course it's not normal, he even went so far as to follow my orders in order to get the whereabouts of the World's Core out of me, but now he's suddenly rushing to the Black Earth Warzone just for a red crystal, not only that, I just tried to get him to leave the Black Earth Warzone, and I was surprised by his attitude, it was the kind of attitude that would do something even if he didn't want to turn his back on me."
Xi's eyes looked towards the distant mountains, as if he was thinking about something.
"Sis, do you think about this every day, it's going to kill a lot of brain cells."
Although Ruri wasn't stupid, compared to Hoshi, she was simply a silly white sweet munchkin.
"The person who hurt you before, was a loner, right?"
Hoshi ignored Ruri's previous words as she seemed to think of something.
"It seems to be, anyway, I didn't see that he has teammates, and his fighting style is inclined to solo, excellent defense, intelligence and agility attributes are also very high, he has strong long distance attack means, ignores mind control, the most frightening thing is his melee ability, if he is chopped by him, no, I might even be slashed in a second, that guy can fight and resist, both near and far, immune to control, simply monster."
Mentioning Su Xiao, Liuli obviously had some palpitations.
Xi fell into deep thought again, and after a long time, he murmured under his breath.
"Is it a coincidence, before I just guessed that Lan Jue is different from us, no, I should say that he is different from all the soloists, there are often rumors in the paradise that he is feuding with certain indentured servants for no reason, and every single one of those indentured servants that are feuding with him is abnormal, he seems to be actively seeking out these abnormal indentured servants and killing them, soloists, full range of abilities, and frequently fighting with abnormally capable of the indentured servants is hostile."
Hoshi's eyes were bright, and Ruri on the side had absolutely no idea what Hoshi was talking about.
"There are some taboos that must not be touched, I seem to have reached a certain dangerous edge, Lan Jue's specialness is not to be mentioned for the time being, the best choice is not to go deeper into it, however, what could have caused him to give up the information about the World's Core so that he could go and find a certain contractee of the Reincarnation Paradise."
As Hoshi continued to think, Ruri on the side snorted, as if she was listening to heavenly books.
"This question can also be postponed, the current situation is a win-win situation for both of us no matter what, whether Ranjue loses or that man from the enemy side loses, it's all good for us, neither side is a savior, Ruri, you go and do one thing."
Xi looked to Ruri, who was already in a state of delirium had a bad feeling.
"Sis, I'm your own sister, don't pit me, I'm afraid~"
Ruri looked at Xi pitifully.
"Don't worry, there's no danger, just letting you do what you do best."
"Really, is it to do that?"
Ruri inquired tentatively.
"Yeah."
"Great."
Lurie's dishevelment was swept away, and a badass grin appeared on her face.
