"It's that Titan."
Geraint had seen Lin Yi use this move before. In order to save Lambert, Lin Yi once used this move to withstand the impact of a fall from the sky.
"What a unique summoning magic."
Karacule squinted her eyes; she was finding it increasingly difficult to understand this man.
To her, the Armored Titan that Lin Yi summoned seemed to be some sort of special summoning magic.
"This is the path you've chosen."
Lin Yi shook his head. If Terramai wasn't such a blindly loyal fellow, Lin Yi would have considered recruiting him.
He turned to leave, and the kind-hearted Nerwin and others sigh. They prepared to speak several times but hesitated and chose to remain silent, following the group.
"I won't forgive you even in death."
"You are the sinners of the kingdom."
"Velskud, you traitor!"
Terramai's wand fell to the ground. He was suppressed by a single palm strike from the armored Titan, unable to move, but he kept cursing loudly and desperately.
His shouts became fainter and fainter in everyone's ears, and his fate was self-evident.
With a burst of strength, the armored Titan effortlessly crushed him.
Then, it suddenly turned into dust and dispersed like smoke.
"Lin Yi..."
The sudden turn of events left Liya deeply concerned. In front of everyone, Lin Yi always appeared gentle and responsible.
Who would have thought that when he got assertive, he would be so terrifying.
Hearing Liya's call, Lin Yi turned to look at her.
"I know what you're thinking. You believe Terramai only had some disagreements with us and perhaps didn't deserve to die."
Lin Yi smiled slightly and comforted, "But what I'm after isn't just to defeat the Black Dragon."
"This ancient battlefield is just the beginning of the conflict between humans and elves, not the end. The reason for the reduced conflict in recent years is merely due to the active monsters and the impending awakening of the black dragon."
"So, humans and elves have no choice but to join forces against the enemy. But once the Black Dragon is defeated, everything will return to the way it was."
Lin Yi didn't deliberately lower his voice, and his words reached everyone's ears.
Liya fell silent, as if recalling fifty years ago when she, a young novice, joined the elf army. Countless friends and kin fell at her feet.
"The cause of all this, although the Dark Elves are meddling, the main reason is that there are too many worms among humans. Everyone has seen the king's virtue."
"He deserves to die!"
"If pests like him aren't cleared out, sooner or later, war will break out again." Lin Yi glanced at the contemplative Geraint, "Geraint, I am different from you. As a ranger, I can defend a place, but I can't save this country."
Lin Yi believed that people would understand this, so he said no more.
Velskud narrowed his eyes, feeling more and more that cooperating with Lin Yi was a wise choice. Bringing everything out into the open, after defeating the Black Dragon and taking over the Saint Haven, things would go even smoother.
Everyone did not doubt Lin Yi's words. As for their truthfulness, only he knew.
For Lin Yi, he wasn't that great, wanting to save the world. But being disgusted with the king's virtue was indeed real. Mixed truths made it particularly persuasive.
"Maybe you're right, Lin Yi."
Geraint suddenly laughed in relief and no longer thought about Terramai.
He also felt that this country was beyond salvation, and he chose to stay away. If it wasn't for the awakening of the Black Dragon, he wouldn't have returned.
But Lin Yi chose another way, more effective and responsible.
"Would you cause a war if it were you?" Liya suddenly asked.
"I promise you, Liya, as long as I'm here, the Altera continent will have real peace." Lin Yi was serious about this statement.
His goal was the Starry Sea and all the realms.
After obtaining the Black Dragon's gem and controlling Saint Haven, he had no intention to conquer places like the Lotus Marsh and Elf Forest.
He didn't care about such trivial gains.
"I believe you."
Liya nodded heavily and, in front of everyone, held Lin Yi's hand again.
Nerwin on the side was stunned for a moment, smiled with a fond look in her eyes, and did not stop them.
The incident in Terramai was treated as a small interlude by everyone, casually dismissed. With the help of the elf map, everyone found the exit of the lost ancient path.
After traveling non-stop for a day and night, and after a fierce battle, everyone was exhausted and chose to camp and rest.
They were only separated by a mountain from the back of the Black Dragon's lair.
Because of Lin Yi's intervention, Barnac's airship did not crash directly but flew for some time. Thus, compared to the original story, they had more time.
A beautiful wasteland.
The journey was tense, and it was rare for everyone to rest.
Liya pulled Lin Yi down on a grassy field, looking up at the starry sky.
"It's beautiful."
Liya looked at the bright moon on the horizon, reached out as if she could touch it, and murmured.
"Yes, it is beautiful."
Lin Yi replied.
Liya turned her head and found Lin Yi looking straight at her. Her face turned red. Although Liya was already fifty years old, being an elf, she had spent most of these years in the Elf Forest.
She was quite naive.
Lin Yi now understood why many novels and movies like to depict elf girls.
Innocent, cute, simply a perfect companion.
Seeing Liya's blushing elf ears, Lin Yi couldn't resist touching them. Liya trembled as if shocked.
"What are you doing..."
"Just a bit curious." She looked so cute, no wonder Lin Yi was tempted.
Finally having some alone time, Lin Yi naturally wanted more. He suddenly sat up, and the two gazed at each other.
Liya felt something was about to happen, took a deep breath, and slowly closed her eyes.
Just as Lin Yi was about to kiss her, Nerwin's call came from a distance.
"Liya..."
Liya was startled and quickly opened her eyes, pushing Lin Yi away in embarrassment, "We're setting off early tomorrow, I'm going to rest now."
Watching the beautiful woman run away, Lin Yi sighed. Next time, he thought, he'd have to talk to Nerwin who ruined his moment.
"Never mind, let's defeat the Black Dragon first."
Lin Yi shook his head, with the imminent battle, he had to shake off these distracting thoughts.
