Chapter 285 Join if you can’t beat him

-Xiao Si from the front reported that there are enemies all around us, front, back, left, right, and right, and they are approaching our location. Do you want to join the battle?

-Friendly reminder, the enemies are all over 1.9 meters tall and strong enough to tear people apart with their bare hands. Given the current combat power, head-on confrontation is not recommended.

-Looking up an escape route for you...

-There is currently no suitable escape route, so it is recommended to find a building to hide in.

-Looking for a suitable shelter for you...

-Unfortunately, unless you hide under a corpse, the surroundings are very empty and you are about to enter the enemy's field of vision. Please make a decision as soon as possible.

Suddenly entering an unfamiliar scene, Helia had to make a decision in a hurry before she could digest the information feedback from Xiao Si.

She clenched her five fingers and confirmed that the amount of magic power in her body was at an awkward level - she could fight, but not all the time.

Moreover, we are not sure whether we will encounter a situation in the future that will force us to take action, so it is best to conserve our combat power and not consume it too early.

After figuring this out, Helia turned around and held Eric's face, who was still a little confused, and asked solemnly, "Brother, I'm sorry for taking the initiative in this emergency!"

Before Eric could ask what was going on and what she was going to do, he saw Helia opening and closing her lips and uttering a spell he couldn't understand, while the hands on her cheeks were covered with a faint, brilliant halo.

As her hands passed over the top of Eric's head, patting it twice, they slid down the sides and back to rest on the lower back, before she reached forward, took his hand, and pulled him up.

Eric's eyes followed her hand and finally landed on the two people's holding hands. He saw that his short and neat nails suddenly grew rapidly as if they had been injected with growth hormone, and became sharp and pointed, with a slight curve, just like the claws of a wild animal.

He looked up in confusion and was about to say something when he saw that his sister had grown a pair of sharp horns on her head. Sharp canine teeth protruded from her uncovered upper lip, poking her lower lip inward, which was a strange red.

There was also a strange feeling between the fingers.

He looked down again and found that the pair of hands that had been holding his just now were now covered with a layer of black scales on the back of the hands. The nails had become curved and sharp like him, and the entire palm had become so wide that he could hardly hold it.

"coming."

Helia's gaze fell on the distance. When a small swaying figure appeared in her field of vision, she took Eric's shoulder first and walked forward with him.

Time was too short for Helia to dress up Eric any further, so she could only temporarily let him show some orc features.

As for her blonde hair and striking blue eyes, she really had no chance of hiding them.

Blonde hair and blue eyes are the characteristics of the royal family. As expected, after seeing the two of them, the person on the opposite side immediately opened his bloody mouth and pounced on them.

But Helia's eyes flashed with gold, and she bared her teeth at them. The powerful aura from the sky overlord dragon clan spread out, and she stopped the orcs who wanted to attack them.

The law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak applies everywhere, not to mention that orcs themselves retain some of the habits of the orcs. Faced with the pressure emanating from a powerful enemy, they will naturally be afraid and will bow their heads in submission.

It's like a rabbit meeting a wolf, or a wolf meeting the wolf king.

Don't bow your head, that's the relationship between hunter and prey.

Bowing, that is the relationship between a king and his subjects.

In other words, if you are not afraid of death, just keep going. I will rip out your throat and let you see who is the real strong one.

When Eric saw the enemy, he instinctively drew the sword at his waist, but Helia quickly held it back.

Although he failed to draw his sword, his fierce eyes were exactly the same as Helia's, not to mention the aura that emanated from him, which was unique to a superior. This was enough to intimidate the two guys who had not yet lost their minds.

Although the two orcs were frightened for a short while and did not continue to attack, they still remained vigilant.

The one who was obviously a cat man said, "Who are you? I have never seen you before."

She looked carefully at the two people in front of her. The woman had horns on her head, sharp claws, and a powerful aura, so she was most likely a dragon.

No wonder the eyes are on top of the head, dragons have always been like that...

As for the man, he had round ears on his head, sharp claws and fangs, a long thin tail at his waist, and thick, fluffy golden hair. He might be a hybrid of a lion and a human.

Tsk! They are not easy to mess with!

Hearing the cat man's question, Helia raised her chin arrogantly and said contemptuously: "I don't think I need to explain to you."

The cat-man was so provoked by this answer that he arched his back and his pupils narrowed, clearly intending to attack.

But Helia raised her hand and grabbed the other person's neck, tightening it suddenly, and the cervical vertebrae were crackling. With a little more strength, she could directly break the fragile neck and let her reunite with her family in the underground.

The cat-woman couldn't breathe. She was clearly an agile orc, but Helia acted too quickly. She didn't even have time to react before her life force was strangled.

Her whole face turned red and gradually turned purple, until her eyes rolled up and she was about to suffocate to death, and then Helia let go of her hand.

During the whole process, Eric held a sword against the lizard man next to the cat man, and any movement would result in his throat being cut by the sharp blade.

The cat-man covered her neck and gasped as she collapsed to the ground. Helia stepped on her soft belly without any hesitation and threatened her condescendingly, "What if you dare to confront me again?"

Although the cat man was unwilling and full of resentment, he did not dare to show any disrespect, so he had to lower his head and said, "I understand."

Seeing that his teammate was defeated, the Lizardman naturally did not dare to make any unnecessary movements. When Helia saw it, he immediately lowered his head - that meant submission.

Helia needed to know what was going on, so she couldn't kill them and had to keep them alive.

But you can't lie to these two orcs in a friendly manner, it's useless.

They are orcs, not humans, and they are part of a rebel army against the royal family. It is unreasonable to reason with them.

So she can only threaten with violence. When faced with a fist that is bigger and harder than her own, no matter if it is a human or something else, she has to bow her head to her.

They had to appear strong and ruthless enough to subdue these two guys so that they would tell her all the information she wanted and follow them without being suspected.

"Where have we reached now? Where are the others?" Helia asked.

The lizard man said excitedly: "The large army is ahead and has surrounded the Dali Palace. We will ensure that the dog emperor cannot escape from our grasp!"

Eric glanced at the cat-man and the lizard-man thoughtfully, and asked with reasonable suspicion: "Then who are you...?"

At first glance, they are just mopping-up soldiers.

The cat-man understood his gaze, and his cheeks, which had not yet faded, turned red again. He said angrily, "We just didn't make it in time! We came a little late! Otherwise, I would definitely rush to the front and chop off the head of that dog emperor!"

Helia & Eric: ...

"Why don't I see any human soldiers?" Helia asked again.

She looked around just now and didn't see anyone fighting, but there were many corpses of human soldiers and broken imperial flags on the ground.

It can't be that they were all killed by the orcs?

The lizard man rushed to reply, "Of course we killed them all! The rest are hiding in the palace and barely surviving!"

"Once we occupy the Dali Palace, we will hunt them down and kill them one by one!"

He was so excited that the scales on his body opened up and even changed color a little.

Eric seemed to have thought of something and asked uncertainly: "Which emperor is in power now?"

After hearing this, the cat man obviously became more suspicious of them. If they were really part of the resistance army, how could they not know who the dog emperor was who had been exploiting them?

But under the threat of Helia's eyes, she had to answer: "King Colinda I."

Helia, who was an idiot about history, naturally couldn't remember who this was. At most, she remembered that there was such a battle. As for who was in power at the time and who put down this massive rebellion, she was really confused.

Eric was even more confused after hearing the answer: "I only know Weldon I, where does Colinda I come from?"

Without the sword on his head, the lizardman grew bolder, "Wow! Are you stupid? There is a father and a son, so the father must have come first and then the son!"

"Could it be that it jumped out of a stone?"

Helia slowly shifted her gaze to the lizard man, who immediately tucked his tail between his legs, cowered and lowered his head.

This woman is much scarier than that man, so don't mess with her...

"What is the full name of Colinda I?" Eric asked again.

The lizard man answered honestly, "Collinda Weldon Teflisiu Abraham."

After that, he muttered softly: "As long as we are here, her son will never be able to succeed to the throne in his lifetime, let alone Weldon I..."

Helia pulled Eric over, intimidated the cat man and the lizard man with her eyes, then walked aside and whispered, "Brother, did you find anything?"

Eric: "If I remember correctly, the history books only briefly mentioned this battle, but it did state that it was King Weldon I who led the soldiers to suppress the orcs who rebelled."

"After that, he implemented several policies to pull the empire out of the mud, which led to decades of stability and prosperity."

"King Weldon I is a famous and good monarch in history books. It is unlikely that I remembered him wrongly."

"And the last monarch before Weldon I was Thepheres III. He died young, long before this battle broke out."

Helia could tell something was wrong. "That is to say, there should be another monarch between Weldon I and Tefilix III. That is what they call Colenda I."

Eric nodded, then frowned slightly, "But I have never seen any record of this King Colinda I in history books..."

"It's like he was... artificially erased from history."

Helia quickly figured it out: "We were attacked right at our doorstep. How shameful! History books wouldn't even mention it, let alone the monarch who was in power at the time."

"Even if it's not the king's fault, he is in the position where he is, so he cannot escape blame."

"There is no relevant record in the history books. Either they chose to conceal it for the sake of the king's reputation, or they felt that his crimes were so heinous that they did not deserve to be recorded in the history books."

Because it was so shameful, apart from some unofficial histories that recorded this battle, the official histories only mentioned it in two or three sentences, and most of the time, they eulogized and praised the great achievements of King Weldon I.

But after all, it is unofficial history, and those descriptions cannot be guaranteed to be authentic.

In addition, due to the long time that has passed, those who witnessed it have all died long ago. Apart from long-lived races like the three ancient tribes, only gods could live for hundreds of years.

"Maybe that's the case..." Although Eric said this, his intuition told him that things were not that simple. It's just that they didn't have time to act as historians and explore history. The most urgent thing was to leave quickly.

"So what should we do now? This place is nothing like the memory scene we saw before. Not only can we touch the things here, but we can also talk to the people in it."

This was also the first time Helia had encountered such a situation. Before, when she entered someone else's sea of ​​consciousness, she was unable to interact with the things in the scene, except for some special cases. Normally, they shouldn't be able to tamper with history, but now...

Moreover, she reasonably suspected that their appearance here was most likely not the work of the owner of the illusion.

Just when they were about to glimpse Watersise waking up in the original body, the scene became abnormal. Something like a space-time crack appeared, and they were sent here because they touched it.

It is known that gods are beings with the most powerful force in the world. Even if they are only in memory scenes, they are mysterious beings that cannot be peeped into.

When she tried to peek into other people's consciousness, she was discovered by Euros, the messenger of God.

And when she met the little original owner, it was a summoning ceremony arranged by wisdom, and it was the power of God that enabled her to interact with the characters in the memory scene.

This time, perhaps because of the power of the gods and because of Watersise, they were accidentally teleported to the past and participated in this battle in person.

Then... could the victory of this battle be due to the participation of these two time travelers?

Helia couldn't be sure whether this was an illusion within an illusion, or a simple parallel world, or whether they had really returned to the past and this was the real scene of the past, and they had the ability to tamper with history.

She sighed and said helplessly, "Brother, I can't be sure of the current situation. Out of caution, I think it's better for us to take it one step at a time."

"Yeah." Eric agreed with Helia's idea. "It just so happens that I am also very interested in this blurred history. I really want to know what happened to cause a king to be erased from the history books."

Seeing Eric adjust his mentality, Helia also relaxed, raised her hand and patted her brother on the shoulder, "Right, now that we are here, let's witness history together."
