The Hero in Exile

Early the next morning, after experiencing yesterday's sea monster incident, the soldiers on the warship were more willing to obey Lingyu's orders and respected her more from the bottom of their hearts.

"Good morning, brave man." The soldier patrolling the deck greeted warmly.

"Me? Thank you for your hard work in patrolling so early." Lingyu looked around and saw that there was no one around before she made sure that it was her that was being talked about. After all, before this, Phil and the others had always called her by her name, but now more people are calling her the Brave Man, so she's not used to it.

"This is as it should be. We were still discussing your performance in battle last night, brave hero. Thanks to you, I believe the Demon King will also be slain by your sword." The soldier said excitedly, with a sincere look in his eyes.

Lingyu was embarrassed to laugh. To be honest, it didn't take much effort to kill the sea monster. It was just a matter of using the Judge Mode and a high-level skill, Sky-Splitting Slash. The whole process didn't even take two minutes of fighting. It could only be called a crushing victory.

"Then I won't bother you on patrol."

The soldier tactfully saluted and left.

Lingyu walked around the deck for a while looking for something, and finally found the familiar figure at the edge of the bow fence.

Phil leaned against the fence, staring at the scenery on the sea, his legs stretched out over the fence, swaying leisurely. But his skin was still slightly pale.

"Hey, how's Phil doing?" Lingyu sat next to Phil. The magic shield he used yesterday was not a small burden for a normal person.

"Isn't this a great hero? He remembered an unknown person like me." Phil replied weakly.

After killing the giant octopus, Lingyu was surrounded by soldiers and went to the restaurant on the ship to celebrate. From beginning to end, no one wanted to see Phil fainting due to overdrawn magic power.

"Don't say that to me. If it wasn't for the magic shield you put up at the critical moment, everyone on the ship would have suffered. And you can hold on for so long under such frequent attacks by sea monsters. No matter how you think about it, only you, Sister Fei, could have done it." In order to comfort Phil, he still praised him a few words.

"Hehe~ Hahaha~, Xiaoling, you really understand me. This is just a small matter for a top-notch magician like me."

Phil laughed out loud after hearing this, and stood up, posing in a way that he thought was very cool, but in fact he looked very immature, completely different from the lifeless person just now.

Lingyu held his forehead and began to regret praising her. He also boasted about trivial matters. He didn't know who fainted due to exhaustion of magic power.

"Report, Lord Brave and Lord Phil." An imperial soldier ran over in a hurry.

"Please call me Master Phil, my magic can shake the world..." Of course, a certain idiot is still immersed in his own world.

……

"Are you really okay, brave man?" The soldier looked at the autistic girl squatting in the corner.

"Don't worry about that idiot. Just tell me if there's anything important." He just said so many second-year lines and his subordinates heard them. He lost all his prestige and it was like a public execution.

"I don't want to live anymore..." someone whispered.

Looking at Phil behind him, Lingyu smiled bitterly. It seemed that it would take some time to reply.

"Reporting to the brave hero, we can see an island ahead. It has been confirmed to be the country of the demons and we will arrive in about an hour." After reporting the current situation, the soldier returned to his position and continued working.

"nice"

Lingyu jumped up on the spot as if she was liberated. She had been on the boat for so long that she was groggy when walking, especially when she slept. She would roll over when a wave hit her and fall to the ground two or three times a night. Now she was finally liberated.

Soon the fleet arrived at the shore.

"finally reached."

Lingyu was the first to rush out. She ran back and forth on the beach for a few steps, looked at the ground and stepped on it a few times before she felt much more reassured.

"What are you doing, Lingyu?"

"I go."

The sound behind him made Lingyu subconsciously ready to draw his sword. Bourne raised his hands and took two steps back. "Don't scare me. It's easy to make a mistake if you sneak behind me in the demon's territory." Lingyu put the half-drawn holy sword back.

"It's been a while since we last met. So where's Phil? Hasn't she been following you?"

"Oh, she...she said she had something to do and would be here later."

Lingyu thought it would be better to give Phil some face. She couldn't say that she was driven into isolation in her bedroom by her own subordinates.

"But I'm telling you, the idea that you're a Paladin and a general of the Empire is a bit exaggerated."

It was not until Born went to war with the soldiers of the Empire and the Church that it was revealed that he was actually a great noble of the Empire.

"Setting? What is that?" Born looked puzzled.

"Nothing, just talking casually." Lingyu only now remembered that there was still a gap between the cultures of the two worlds, so it would be better to say less.

While chatting, the soldiers on the ship had already been moving supplies to the shore one after another.

"We have entered the demon clan's territory and no one has come yet. It seems that the demon clan is doomed and the only one left is the Demon King."

Born looked at the soldiers transporting supplies on the beach. Not only the imperial soldiers but also the northern dwarves and others got off the ship. He didn't expect that Lingyu would counterattack here in just half a year. It seems that he needs to work harder.

"Then I'll get busy first. Also, I heard that the Demon King is quite powerful, so it's better to be careful." After saying that, Bourne walked towards the huge crowd.

"The Demon King? You should be more serious about this, since he is a big boss."

Lingyu muttered to himself as he watched Bourne going away. Ever since he mastered the power, no one could make him feel tired. Demon King? Then he might as well activate 90% of the Judgement and add a Sky-Splitting Slash.
