Firefly Journey

Chapter 305 The World's Attack on Chu (15)

Wind Chime is a pragmatist; she never procrastinates.

Lin Yuanran asked, "Shall we go now?"

Fengling said, "Wait, wait for your Papal cavalry to arrive. Many ants can cause an elephant to collapse. Although those imperial soldiers can't do anything to us, leaving them alone and letting them join up with the main imperial army will still be a threat to Chu in the future. It's better to eliminate them in time."

"In addition, I think the temple can also be of help."

After Fengling finished speaking, she took out "Ayepeya's Heavenly Book," opened a page, closed her eyes, placed her right index and middle fingers on her forehead, and silently muttered something.

Half a minute later, she opened her eyes and said, "Alright, once Mondstadt dies and the Imperial army falls into chaos, the Temple will cooperate with the Papacy cavalry to eliminate the Imperial army."

The arrangement of the wind chimes was impeccable, and every step was reasonable. Lin Yuanran felt as if he had returned to that time three years ago, when as long as she was by his side, he didn't have to worry about anything.

What follows is a short wait.

As time ticked by, the Dawn Cavalry Regiment continued their journey, and they were almost there.

Upon receiving the news, Lin Yuanran said, "It's almost done."

"Let's do it," Wind Chime said. "With your current magical power, you shouldn't have any problem using miracles multiple times a day, right?"

“No problem,” Lin Yuanran said.

"That's good. Don't take back your node; we'll need it."

Lin Yuanran understood immediately: "Understood."

The two exchanged a glance, with Feng Ling in front and Lin Yuanran behind, as they walked towards the Imperial Camp.

Mondstadt's forces are currently in complete disarray, with the entire army searching for the assassin's whereabouts. Mondstadt, a veteran general with many years of experience on the battlefield, should, in principle, not let personal matters interfere with his duty and miss the opportunity to attack the White Cloud Mountains, even if he were assassinated.

However, as a person's power and status rise, he becomes very afraid of losing everything he has gained.

Moreover, he had sufficient reasons to convince himself.

Why is it such a coincidence that, after being in Chu territory for more than a month, he was assassinated just before attacking the Baiyun Mountains?

Does this mean that the State of Chu did not abandon the mining base of Wugang jade, but rather used it as bait to wait for the fish to take the bait?

In short, Mond Toby didn't want to gamble and dared not gamble, feeling there was something fishy going on. He decided to purge his own forces first before discussing the attack on the White Cloud Mountains.

"Commander, people from the Dark Temple have arrived, saying they have important matters to discuss."

Just as Mondl was resting in his tent, a messenger came in and said...

"Oh?" Mond became interested. He figured that the Temple must have heard about his death and was afraid that the Chu Kingdom's superhumans would take action, so they came to find out what was going on.

"Please come in. By the way, who is it?" Mond asked.

"She claims to be a saint," the messenger answered honestly.

Upon hearing this, Mond Toby beamed with joy, and the surrounding senior officers also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Holy Maiden is so young yet she can shoulder such a great responsibility as the Alliance Leader; she must be quite capable. With her help, let alone that mysterious assassin, even the small White Cloud Mountain Range, no matter how well the Chu Kingdom defends it, will be easy to take over.

The only one who felt awkward was Locke.

He had met that renowned Holy Maiden of the Temple. Years ago, during the academy's grand competition, she amazed everyone with her overwhelming strength, making him envious and jealous.

They are only the same age, but the other person is far more capable than me, not only in terms of skill level, but also in terms of status.

Keep in mind, the other party is a saintess, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will become the future master of the Dark Temple. As for him, he's practically unknown in the entire Ancient Battle Arena, if not ranked highly. The two are simply not on the same level.

Before long, the curtain of the large tent was pushed open, and two people walked in from outside.

With blonde hair and blue eyes, exuding an air of nobility, it goes without saying that she is Feng Ling.

The other one was dressed as an ordinary member of the temple, looking unremarkable, and was half a body length behind the wind chimes; he was probably an attendant.

Locke glanced at the wind chimes, then turned his gaze to the person beside him. He frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Holy Maiden, Mond Toby, who had been resting, quickly stood up, his eyes extremely obsequious, and said, "The Holy Maiden's arrival in my army is a great joy! Please, please, have a seat!"

The wind chime remained motionless, her beautiful eyes sparkling: "No need."

“Haha!” Mond continued, “The saintess is quite unique. Standing is good for physical and mental health, so I’ll stand too.”

Upon hearing this, some of his trusted subordinates, including Hobbits, were somewhat taken aback. They thought, "You're never this humble even with Henry I. You're being far too obsequious to a saint."

That's just how the world is; the Ancestral God Church represents absolute authority. Even the Dark Temple, which is at the bottom of the hierarchy, is not something an officer from an ordinary country can easily mess with. If you don't act humble and anger them, you might get killed on the spot.

"I heard you encountered an assassin a few hours ago?" Wind Chime asked.

“Thank you for your concern, Holy Maiden. I’m fine. The assassin was hiding among our troops when he launched the attack. We are currently conducting a full-scale manhunt, and I don’t think he can escape,” Mond said.

The wind chime blinked.

"I think you've misunderstood. Whether you're alright or not is none of my business. What I want to say is that the assassin has been found, and I've brought him here to see you."

"Huh?" Mond Toby was taken aback and looked at Lin Yuanran: "Could this be the person?"

"Yes, not all."

"How to say?"

"He had accomplices."

Lin Yuanran, who had been silent all along, also laughed: "Yes, I have accomplices."

For some reason, Mond felt a chill run down the back of his head and asked again, "Who is it?"

Fengling pointed to her nose, "Me."

Her tone was calm, her nose was high and straight, and her skin was very white, which made Mond feel very pale.

"Holy Maiden... what are you joking about?"

Mond was already sweating.

With the wind chimes beside him, Lin Yuanran was bold enough to gently remove the effect of the "Thousand Illusions" mask.

"Old dog, do you remember me?"

Looking at the face before him, Mond suddenly awoke with a start and shouted, "You're the bodyguard who rescued the reporter three years ago?"

“It’s me, I’m here to kill you now,” Lin Yuanran said.

"Holy Maiden, what's going on?!"

Realizing something was wrong, Hobbitt was shocked and asked loudly.

“As you can see, he is an assassin, and so am I. We are on an assassination mission,” Wind Chime said.

Mond Toby and everyone else in the tent gasped in shock.

Assassination? You call this an assassination?

Your assassin swaggers up to someone and tells them, "I'm going to kill you?"

"Does the Temple intend to break the alliance?!" Mond exclaimed.

“My Dark Temple has never signed any alliance with you.” Feng Ling raised an eyebrow at Lin Yuanran. “You’ve never killed anyone, so let me do it.”
