81 The Overlord of Death
Within the Dark Castle, Su Wan and Xu Yuan noticed traces of enemy troops around the territory. The matter was confirmed when coupled with the information brought by the mole.
“They are quite cautious,” muttered Su Wan. The enemy was already near their territory. They had decided to attack. However, they didn’t rush in mindlessly. Instead, they had set up camp on the outskirts of Su Wan’s territory and planned something.
Xu Yuan flew into the sky and observed the situation. “We need to think of a way to provoke them,” he said.
Su Wan brought up a critical point. “Scammer Xu, I don’t know if you have noticed, but I have a feeling that these enemies are here for Shi Linglong.”
Su Wan recalled the beginning of this mess. Shi Linglong had told her that she had overheard two Overlords plotting something. Therefore, they sent out their troops to silence her.
“So…,” mumbled Xu Yuan. He looked at Shi Linglong who was chatting and laughing with the Flower Fairy nearby. He chuckled.
Su Wan understood the meaning of his laugh. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. “It seems we can only use Shi Linglong to encourage the enemy.”
Su Wan and Xu Yuan exchanged a glance and nodded in understanding.
Shi Linglong accompanied them to the Sentry Tower in confusion. The position of the Sentry Tower was such that the enemy could see it clearly from a distance.
‘They needed help with the lookout, but why do I feel that something is wrong?’ wondered Shi Linglong.
Shi Linglong was tricked by Xu Yuan and Su Wan. They had asked Shi Linglong to help keep a lookout from the Sentry Tower. It didn’t sound suspicious at first. However, Shi Linglong felt that something was off.
“Ofunai, do you see any enemies?” asked Shi Linglong. She was very responsible. She had accepted Su Wan and Xu Yuan’s request, so she was determined to do a good job of it. She looked around.
boxn ov el. c o mThe Flower Fairy cried out. “This is bad! There are so many enemies!”
Shi Linglong looked in the direction where the Flower Fairy pointed. Although the enemies were hidden well, she could still see them. They were hiding in the forest. It wasn’t just one or two, but a whole troop of them!
Shi Linglong looked in shock and horror. The enemies, having seen her, could no longer hold back.
Lord Ling Yun ran forward from behind a tree and pointed in her direction. “It’s that girl! We must kill her!”
Lin Yun had been calm until that moment. He had been quietly observing and planning his next move, but the moment he saw Shi Linglong, he could no longer keep his cool.
“Attack!” The Tauren Army charged forward with their battleaxes. “We fight for the Lord!”
The human Spearmen charged forward at the same time.
Lord Ling Yun’s Army had all gathered as if they were going to fight a huge battle.
At the Sentry Tower, Shi Linglong discovered the enemies readying themselves at a distance. She finally realized that the one attacking was the Lord who wanted to hunt her down because she had heard him plotting something with another Lord.
“I seem to have brought trouble for Wanwan once again,” she said. She was certain that these enemies were after her. If she hadn’t run to Su Wan’s territory, these troops wouldn’t be here in the first place.
If it wasn’t for her, Su Wan wouldn’t have had to face this crisis. “I am so sorry, Wanwan,” mumbled Si Linglong. She turned around and ran away.
“You want to run?” Lord Ling Yun saw Shi Linglong running and became excited for the chase.
Shi Linglong wanted to leave Su Wan’s territory because she didn’t want to cause more trouble for her friend. However, as she ran, she heard Su Wan calling to her. “Shi Linglong, run to the Dark Castle and hide there!”
Shi Linglong was very hesitant. “Wanwan, I am grateful for your help. But I will solve this problem by myself, and I won’t trouble you any further.” She decided to leave Su Wan’s territory for good.
However, Xu Yuan’s voice rang out of the blue. “Don’t talk nonsense,” he said. “A bait should act like a bait. Just be obedient so that we can gather the monsters together.”
‘Bait?’ thought Shi Linglong. ‘Gather the monsters?’
Shi Linglong’s breath came out in gasps. For a long time, she had felt that Su Wan and Xu Yuan were being very strange. However, she hadn’t been certain of it. Now, she knew.
“So, this was all part of your plan?” she asked. She couldn’t hear their voices anymore. She looked behind her and saw that the enemies were still chasing her. Shi Linglong gritted her teeth and ran towards the Dark Castle.
Lord Ling Yun was still running behind her. The more Shi Linglong ran towards the Dark Castle, the more the enemies got lured into the territory. Lord Ling Yun chased Shi Linglong all the way to the Dark Castle.
Numerous voices rang out in the air. “Kill!”
“Attack!”
“For the Lord!”
“For the sake of wine!”
Ling Yun was still running behind Shi Linglong when a group of dwarves charged toward him. He recognized the dwarves. They used to be his troops!
Ling Yun ordered the dwarves instinctively. “Right on time! Take down that girl!”
However, Ling Yun soon realized that his orders were ignored. The dwarves didn’t surround Shi Linglong. They held their weapons and glared at him in disgust.
“What is this? Is this a mutiny?” he asked. “I just heard you shout that you will fight for your Lord!”
They had indeed shouted “For the Lord” and charged. Ling Yun had assumed that they were referring to him. Although he didn’t know why the dwarves had been removed from his list of troops, he still believed they belonged to him.
However, when he saw the hostile look on their faces, Ling Yun realized that things might have changed more than he had expected.
“For the Lord, of course!” shouted the dwarf commander. “For the sake of the Overlord of Death!”
Ling Yun was stunned. Even Shi Linglong and Su Wan were surprised. ‘Overlord of Death?’
Su Wan arrived at the scene. The dwarves surrounded her and shouted, “Overlord of Death!”
