Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 63 Transformation
Two joint meetings were held in a short period of time, which attracted great attention from officials and the public in various countries. However, in order to block the news, the emperors of various countries tacitly kept silent about the meeting resolutions. Only after returning to the Holy Beast Kingdom did Dakrons strengthen the training of the berserk troops. At the meeting, the elemental pressure of the God Knight made him feel pressured. He had only heard that the God Knight was very strong before, but he did not expect that the pressure was almost on the same level as himself.
A week after the meeting, the Principality of Paisen suddenly issued a notice suspending passenger ship routes to the outlying islands. Subsequently, other countries also issued notices with similar content, stating that due to a large-scale invasion of ferocious beasts on the outlying islands, in order to avoid danger to their citizens, domestic citizens and adventurers were prohibited from traveling to the outlying islands from that day forward. Those returning from the outlying islands were also required to undergo security checks at the port.
At this moment, the island became completely isolated. The people on the island could escape but could not enter the mainland, and the garrison's external aid could not get in. At the same time, messengers from the four countries arrived at the island on the same ship. The original plan was for each country to send its own people to deliver the war orders, but they were worried that other countries might smuggle in their own agendas and affect the balance of the war. Therefore, in order to supervise, the messengers from each country were arranged to travel to the island together on the ship and return to the mainland in teams regularly during the war to report back.
Upon arriving at their respective garrisons, the messengers from each country immediately issued the emperor's decree: "Effective immediately, you are hereby ordered to defeat the garrisons of the other three countries. After the defeat, the commander of the garrison will become the lord of Bailu City and take over the outlying island."
As we all know, the shorter the order, the more important it is. This short order greatly excited the troops stationed in the four countries on the island. It's not that they love war. The island is already in such a state that after sobering up from the fervor, they all began to feel fear. If they started a war without orders, how would their countries punish them if they found out? Now that they have obtained permission to fight, they have no worries and can fight with all their might.
The envoys from the four countries met with the four garrison commanders and agreed to a three-day truce to allow them to recuperate before officially commencing hostilities.
Of course, the three days were not just for recuperation; many secret actions were also taken. Each country had about 30,000 troops stationed there. Some had already been lost in the previous battles. Due to the alliance between the Slivia Empire and the Holy Beast Kingdom, the Tianyun Empire and the Delin Kingdom suffered more severe losses. Relying on the city lord's guard, the Tianyun Empire entered Bailu City on the day the agreement was reached, controlled the four city gates, and used Bailu City as its main base. They re-established camps outside the four city gates, forming a defensive perimeter.
The Kingdom of Delin seized the northern port, forcibly requisitioned all the ships in the port, and detained all the people who were preparing to leave the island, so that they could be used as soldiers at any time. At the same time, they could also rely on ships to move at sea and carry out missions such as raids and troop transport. More importantly, controlling the port was equivalent to controlling the supplies that the other three kingdoms could possibly reach. Zhang Feng was indeed a veteran general, with rich experience in troop deployment and a keen observation of the timing and terrain.
The Slivia Empire and the Holy Beast Kingdom remained united. Due to their previous alliance, the two countries suffered minimal losses and thus secretly planned to merge and defeat each other one by one. However, upon discovering the change of control of Bailu City and the occupation of the northern port the next day, they immediately broke the agreement and launched an attack. However, Bailu City was well-defended and easy to defend. Although the northern port occupied by the Delin Kingdom was virtually indefensible, Zhang Feng led all his soldiers and boarded the detained people directly onto the ship, far away from the port, and remained at a safe distance while mocking the allied forces of the two countries.
This infuriated the allied forces of the two countries, but they were powerless to do anything about it. They had agreed to start the war in three days, but now it had already started on the second day. The combined forces of the Slivia Empire and the Holy Beast Kingdom numbered about 50,000. They had to take care of their basic needs, so they had no choice but to retreat to the forest to rebuild their camp and collect the remaining number of adventurers who had settled in the surrounding area.
That day, Su Yang was busy with farm work when a series of urgent knocks on the door startled him and Lin Anlan and the others who were inside tending to the eggs of the Rock-Breaking Beast. The unusual knocking made Lin Anlan feel like she was facing a major enemy. Su Yang discovered through radar that dozens of points of light were gathered outside the door, which should be humans. This gave Su Yang a bad feeling. He told Lin Anlan and the other two to go back inside and close the door, and then he went to open the door alone.
As soon as the farm gate was opened, a group of soldiers rushed in. The leader's eyes lit up when he saw the vegetables and fruits in the farm. Ignoring Su Yang's presence, he ordered his soldiers to start looting. Su Yang wanted to stop them, but he was instinctively afraid and could only watch helplessly as the soldiers plundered the fruits of his hard work in the farm.
At this moment, several soldiers arrived at the front of the house and kicked the wooden door several times. The door was quickly kicked open, and the soldiers went inside to search. Su Yang immediately sensed something was wrong. Lin Anlan, Die'er, and Ling Long were still inside. He hurriedly ran towards the small house, but soon after, he heard a cry: "No, Su Yang! Save me!"
That was Lin Anlan's voice! Upon hearing Lin Anlan's cries for help, Su Yang rushed towards the house without thinking. When he arrived at the broken door, he saw several soldiers with lewd smiles dragging Lin Anlan down the stairs from the second floor. Lin Anlan was resisting with tears streaming down her face. When she saw Su Yang appear outside the door, she immediately cried out again at the top of her lungs, "Su Yang, save me!"
The soldiers also spotted Su Yang and sent one soldier to drive him away, while the rest continued to drag him. The tall, burly soldier walked up to Su Yang, looking down at him condescendingly, and said, "Do you want to die?! If you don't want to die, get out of the way." With that, he shoved Su Yang to the ground. The soldiers inside had already dragged Lin Anlan down the stairs, and they were pulling her by the arms and legs toward the outside. Perhaps exhausted, Lin Anlan's cries grew fainter and fainter, turning into soft sobs.
As the soldiers carried Lin Anlan past Su Yang, Lin Anlan reached out and grabbed Su Yang's arm, looking at him with tearful eyes. They stared at each other, and Su Yang seemed to see despair and helplessness in Lin Anlan's eyes. In that instant, a monstrous wave surged within Su Yang, overwhelming his emotions of fear, unease, and retreat, leaving only anger. A moment later, the soldiers forcibly released Lin Anlan's hand, preparing to continue carrying her away. They hadn't gone far when a terrifying pressure descended, rendering all the soldiers in the farm unable to move.
The soldiers carrying Lin Anlan tried to turn around to check their surroundings, but the next second, sharp swords pierced through their chins from the top of their heads, and they collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Lin Anlan, whom they were carrying, was also thrown heavily to the ground. The blood of the surrounding soldiers stained her yellow skirt, and the blood gushing from the soldiers' necks sprayed onto her face. At this moment, Lin Anlan was like a deadly flower blooming in a pool of blood.
The other soldiers who came forward to check saw the horrific scene before them and immediately dropped their food, drew their swords, and charged at Su Yang. From their fierce faces, one could see the ruthlessness of wanting to cut Su Yang to pieces, the grief and indignation of wanting to avenge their comrades, and the greed of coveting Lin Anlan. Su Yang could only laugh at this moment, that all the aspects of human nature could be displayed on one person's face.
Before they could get close, the Cloud Ring in Su Yang's hand shone brightly. After a dazzling burst of light, it gradually condensed into purple flames that danced on the Cloud Ring. Su Yang stretched out his left hand, and the dancing flames transformed into a longsword as his left hand moved. Then, Su Yang activated his Qi element and used the air currents created by the Qi element to rush out quickly. With each swift stroke of his sword, he took a life. Every subsequent sword strike was accompanied by the falling of severed limbs. Cries and screams filled the air. In just over ten minutes, the entire squad of dozens of soldiers lay on the ground, some already lifeless, others on the verge of death.
The blood, pooling on the ground, slowly gathered and flowed into the nearby stream, staining it a crimson ribbon that swayed in the wind over this once-happy land. This tragic scene seemed to griev even the heavens, for a light drizzle fell from the sky, carefully washing over the earth and farmland, attempting to soothe Su Yang's intense rage. Lin Anlan slowly approached from behind, reaching out to embrace Su Yang from behind. Seeing no reaction from Su Yang, she moved to his front, cradling his head in her hands, meeting his gaze. Su Yang's eyes were red, and the stream flowing down his face was indistinguishable between rain and tears.
Lin Anlan touched Su Yang's hand again. That hand was tightly gripping the cloud elemental longsword that hadn't yet dissipated from its physical form. The scorching cloud elemental flames continuously evaporated the falling raindrops. Looking at Su Yang's trembling body, Lin Anlan felt a surge of heartache and guilt. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She hugged Su Yang and sobbed softly, apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have treated you like this, I shouldn't have made you worry like this."
The light drizzle gradually intensified, forming a curtain of rain. Inside the rain curtain, Die'er and Linglong stood at the doorway, quietly watching Su Yang and Lin Anlan in the rain.
"I never imagined you'd do something like this," Die'er whispered to Linglong. "Why did you do it?"
"Isn't this what you wanted to do?" Linglong asked instead of answering.
“But I don’t want to do it this way.” Die’er shook her head and turned her head to the side, as if she didn’t want to see the tragic scene in front of her anymore.
Linglong continued to stare at Su Yang expressionlessly and said, "In this world, only kindness is useless, but kindness is his cocoon. I just gave him a knife to break out of the cocoon. Once the cocoon is broken, he will naturally transform."
"He doesn't like this. Aren't you afraid he'll hate you?" Die'er turned her head and asked seriously, as if she wanted to see regret on Linglong's face.
Linglong turned around and smiled at Die'er for the first time. It was just a faint smile. She said, "If the same thing happens again, then this is my fate."
