I'm bad, but players love me

Therefore, asking them to do too much is indeed a bit too much.

"It's worth exchanging your life for the death of a man who should have died nine years ago." Aemon smiled at him. "Actually, I know how old I am. I lied to the commander. I am fifteen years old this year, old enough to go to the battlefield."

"I started lying because I wanted to go to the battlefield sooner, but I ended up shooting myself in the foot. Because I'm too short, I haven't been able to go to the battlefield until now."

He shrugged, his tone revealing a lighthearted teasing, as if he was just chatting about some unimportant topic. Then he gently patted Gouzi's shoulder and said, "Wait for my good news."

Chapter 116: What’s the point?

If you can't pour steel and fire upon your enemies, you can only pour flesh and blood upon them.

[What kind of human bomb...?]

[Eamon: Now that I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. Now that I'm here, I'll have to eat a bomb before I leave!]

[The timid are afraid of the aggressive, and the aggressive are afraid of the desperate. So, ELO can really win.]

【There aren't so many people in ELO, right? 】

[It's okay. The respected noble will send us plenty of soldiers. Please refer to the villagers who came with Aemon for details.]

[The player was about to surrender, their knees banging on the ground. Then Corey Jun came up and yelled, "Stand up! Don't kneel!" They were promptly sent packing to the ELO side.]

[Is it really worth it to win at the cost of human lives? ]

"What do you do with the civilians then? They'll be killed if they stick their heads out or hide. Have you forgotten the tailoring quest you did when you first entered ELO?"

If you don't treat people like human beings, how can you expect them to accept their fate? Do you really treat them like cattle and horses? Even cattle and horses know how to throw things away!

At this point, Gou Zi no longer hesitated. He waved his hand and signaled the people in the rear to launch a phased attack targeting only Lumi, making sure that Imon could accurately grasp that fleeting opportunity and kill Lumi in one fell swoop.

He turned around and shouted to the team members behind him: [Cover!]

If it is Aemon's fate to die this day, then bury him with the corpse of a noble.

Unlike other nobles of Cori City who are used to hiding in the back, Lumi always takes the lead in the charge, using her divine power to block all attacks for the charging Cori soldiers. She will not retreat to a safe place to rest until she feels her power is about to run out.

It was funny to say that, despite having been on the battlefield for so long, she had never personally killed a single resident of Kori City. Of course, those who were accidentally injured in the chaos of battle were naturally not included in this list.

The reason was simple: she was just a foreigner. When the eight goddesses founded the nation, they established an iron rule: wars must never be waged between nations.

But the word "war" can be big or small, and no one dares to test its depth.

For example, if I slap someone from another country and he slaps me back, that doesn’t count as a war?

If one-on-one doesn’t count, then do hundreds of hundreds count?

Or does it mean that no matter how badly they fight each other, as long as the country's supreme ruler has not declared "war has begun", it still does not count as a war?

It is precisely because of the "ambiguous" words, coupled with the extremely difficult consequences to bear - the disappointment of the gods, and the disappearance of the gods' favor that it means.

How long can a country without the blessing of God survive? No one dares to gamble!

Therefore, the supreme rulers of various countries have always been extremely strict in upholding this rule, almost to the point where it cannot be questioned.

The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Machinery are relatively open-minded. At least their doors are open to the world, allowing people to enter and exit freely after submitting documents.

However, some countries are so xenophobic that they do not even allow any foreigners to set foot on their territory.

In the Kingdom of Wind, the voices calling for the implementation of the law "strictly prohibiting the entry of foreigners" have never stopped, and there are even many people who support this law - the Kingdom of Wind is extremely xenophobic towards beliefs.

Therefore, once Lumi is caught and forced to fight in the Machine Kingdom, they will most likely take this opportunity to send this decree to the king's desk in one go, and then it will be quickly promoted.

After all, with ready-made counterexamples right before our eyes, who would still think that letting foreigners in and letting our own people out would be a good thing?

They would point at Lumi's nose without mercy and shout, "Look! This is the evil result of your long-cherished openness! You, a native of the Wind Country, actually dare to cross the border and participate in the war of the Mechanical Country. It's ridiculous! This is simply blasphemy against the gods! Can you bear the wrath of the gods?"

And no matter how Lumi defended himself, even if it was indeed the case, in their hearts, it was nothing more than a weak excuse, a provocation and blasphemy against the will of God.

By then, Lumi will be in a complete dilemma.

Not only would she become a "criminal" in the eyes of that group, being used by them to implement "conservative" laws, but she would also anger those "open-minded" people who hoped to take money out of the pockets of foreigners.

From ancient times to the present, anyone who cuts off other people's financial resources will never have a good ending.

After successfully using the "wind wall" to resist the enemy's fierce attack again, Lumi felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.

The rhythm of the attacks seemed a bit strange, sometimes fierce, sometimes sparse, with each attack separated by several minutes and not coherent.

Could it be that... they are deliberately creating an illusion and actually evacuating in secret?

If the ELO people had really managed to withdraw in this battle, then there would be no doubt that the Cori army would have lost this round.

After all, the Cori army had already lost so many people before! Even if all the ELO people were dead, the casualty ratio would not be much better, which would undoubtedly tarnish Lumi's "shining" record.

"Cut off their retreat!" Lumi called a soldier over and gave a deep command. "I'm at the front. You must defend the rear with all your might. Don't let them have even the slightest chance of escape."

Aemon, wearing the clothes stripped from the dead Cori soldiers, slipped all the way here under cover, but as soon as he approached Lumi, he was called over by the nobleman and given instructions.

It was a coincidence. Mainly because no one in the Cori army would get close to Lumi, the great noble, for fear of accidentally angering this powerful man and being dealt with the next second. Only he, a man with a low ELO, would get close to Lumi.

However, the time was not ripe yet. At this moment, ELO stopped attacking and Lumi had not yet erected the "Wind Wall".

So Aemon lowered his head, a look of hesitation on his face, pretending to be hesitant, neither answering nor leaving.

Lumi, who had never even looked at him, sensed something was wrong. He turned around and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"We have surrounded ELO and the situation seems stable, but if we adjust the deployment of troops at this time..." Aemon's voice was low and slow, as if every word was solidified in the air, deliberately delaying time.

Lumi raised his eyebrows and stared sharply at Aemon, the daring guy.

"Are you questioning me?" she asked coldly, a hint of displeasure in her voice. "Which part are you from? Tell me more."

The implication is that there will be a reckoning later. If Eamon is a member of the Cori Army, he will probably have a hard time living from now on.

However, at this moment, ELO's attack came again like a tide, breaking this brief calm.

Lumi frowned, feeling dissatisfied, but helpless due to the urgency of the battle, he had no choice but to turn around and continue to mobilize his divine power to activate the indestructible wall defense.

At this time, Yimeng whispered back: "ELO Suicide Squad."

Lumi was furious at ELO's actions. She glared at the front with gritted teeth. At this time, the hateful ELO stopped attacking again, as if challenging her patience.

We've been fighting intermittently for almost half an hour, and we can't even capture such a small place. They're all rubbish!

But in order to save her divine power, she had to follow the rhythm of ELO. She would use it when others hit her, and not use it when others didn't hit her.

When using divine power, the nerves need to be highly tense. Lumi was almost completely focused and therefore missed Imon's almost mumbling words.

She frowned in confusion, turned to look at Aemon, and said with a hint of impatience in her voice, "What?"

However, Aemon seemed not to hear Lumi's question and stood there silently.

In an instant, a deafening explosion sounded, and flames shot up into the sky, as if a ball of blazing flames erupted from hell, instantly enveloping the two of them in a blazing light.

Lumi closed her eyes subconsciously, but she couldn't ignore the intense heat and vibrations. She was startled, thinking something was wrong, but it was too late to dodge.

The deafening explosion echoed in the valley, shaking the entire ground and affecting many of the surrounding Kori troops.

The Kori soldiers in the distance were also startled by the sudden roar - had ELO unveiled some new weapon? Why was it so loud?

Suddenly, a deafening roar broke the silence after the explosion, "The noble is dead! The Cori army is finished! Long live ELO!" This roar echoed in the soldiers' ears like a spell, and immediately made them all lose their minds.

He no longer cared about whether he could break through ELO or not, he only thought about whether he would be buried with the noble master.

At this moment, the ELO army, which had been ready for a long time, seized this golden opportunity. They broke through the defense line of the Kori army in one go and were about to get a chance of survival.

But just when the dog felt that there was hope of breaking out, a sharp chill suddenly came from behind, and a loud "whoosh" sound shook the sky.

Looking back, I saw an arrow flying out from the place where Lumi was supposed to be buried.

The arrow shone with a strange green light, streaking across the sky like a meteor streaking across the night sky. Its light was so dazzling that it was even more dazzling than the scorching sun hanging high in the sky. One could tell at a glance that it was condensed from divine power.

"He's not dead yet?" Gouzi couldn't help but curse in the live broadcast room, "Quit the game, quit the game. If he can't even be killed by bombs, what's the point of playing? Are you really expecting me to fight guerrilla warfare?"

[Damn, didn’t Iemon die in vain?]

[This is normal. Otherwise, if nobles and commoners could swap places at any time, their fighting power would be too weak.]

[You're using cheats so hard, and you're still a noob? Tell me, how do you win?]

【After such a long delay, we have to reopen. 】

How did Yun Shuo dare to confront these cheaters? Wasn't he afraid? I remember him rushing to the front lines.

[The noble camp is still more fun. Here, you're just here to get beaten.]

【At least I can play this with a clear conscience. 】

Is the difference between the noble faction and us really that big? With the base being here, the justice of ELO is undeniable, right?

[The perspective is different, and ELO is still the loser. Yun Shuo is dead, and Willis and the remaining ELO members are nowhere to be found.]

[No matter how righteous you are, there's nothing you can do. It seems like some commoners on the noble side initially spoke up for ELO, but later when I interacted with the NPCs, no one was willing to speak well of ELO anymore; everyone was just cursing.]

Wasn't that Dim from before a typical example? He didn't know anything and just kept cursing.

Lumi struggled desperately to get out of the deep pit like a defeated wolf. From birth to now, she had never suffered such a great setback and humiliation as today.

My right arm was in excruciating pain, as if it were fractured, or completely broken, and I couldn't even lift it up.

Lumi's heart was filled with fear and despair. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she really lost her right arm...

Most of the Wind Country's attack methods require the use of bows and arrows. Only by concentrating the power of wind on the arrows can they exert their most powerful force. If she lost her right hand...

Then the power she was proud of and the fighting style she relied on would all vanish into thin air.

Lumi clenched his teeth and forced himself to suppress the waves of pain coming from his body.

She had to force herself to calm down. Only with quick treatment could she save her hand - she had to quickly resolve this war that had dragged on for too long.

Unable to use a bow and arrow, Lumi had to throw arrows into the sky with her bare hands, signaling to the Kori army that her noble was still alive! Be quiet!

Without the support of bows and arrows, arrows can no longer take lives as easily as before. Their power is greatly reduced, and they can only be used as "signal arrows" to transmit information.

"Kill! Kill all the ELOs! If there is one survivor, I will use your corpses to replenish the remaining ones!" Lumi gave the order directly. Her voice revealed the madness that was out of control due to the severe pain. The dam of reason had collapsed under the impact of the waves of pain.

After she finished speaking, she gasped and fell to the ground with a distorted face. In front of her was Aemon's broken body, with limbs scattered around, bloody and mangled, it was a shocking sight.

Lumi looked at the blood and flesh with fear. It was almost, just a little bit, and she would be scattered here with Eamon.

She couldn't understand what was wrong with those ELO people. Were they truly not afraid of death? They knew their own death wouldn't change anything, yet they still rushed forward like madmen, wanting to kill her without hesitation.

What do they picture?

These civilians kept shouting "We can't survive anymore, everyone is dying", but they started a war here that caused countless casualties.

What are they trying to achieve?

No matter how many people the nobles killed, it would still be less than the number of deaths in a war like this, right?

Chapter 117: Greedy? Me? (Refresh)

Following Lumi's orders, the Cori Army once again raised their cold guns, aiming their dark muzzles at the ELO members who were trying to break through. The situation they had finally managed to turn around was instantly shattered, and they were once again in a stalemate, even worse than before.

Lumi collapsed to the ground, her body in so much pain that it seemed as if she had lost control and no longer obeyed her commands. It was so heavy that she couldn't even lift a finger.

The shade of the trees around her was mottled, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves. The spots of light danced on her body, dazzling and burning. She had no choice but to close her eyes, temporarily blocking all this from her sight, and secretly planning what to do next.

ELO is already at the end of its rope. A single Kori army encirclement and suppression could easily defeat it, so there's no point in sending him into battle. And that captain, he can't even estimate the number of people correctly. He should just go back and be dismissed.

After all, she is not from Corry City. It would be fine if she helped Ella a little, but now she almost got herself involved. It was really unnecessary.

The divine power within her body was still surging, but at this moment, an inexplicable fear welled up in her heart. It seemed that in the next second, this divine power would be like sand in her hand, slipping through her fingers with the slightest movement, and she would never be able to recover it again.

Suddenly, the red light cast by the sun through his eyelids was blocked by a shadow. At first, Lumi thought it was just the shadow of trees swaying in the wind. He didn't care and just frowned slightly.

But a cold shout came from above his head, "Stop it!"

The sudden sound made Lumi's heart tremble and she suddenly opened her eyes.

What came into view was a pitch-black pistol, the muzzle of which was coldly pointed at her forehead a few centimeters away. The shadow that had previously blocked out the sunlight was also cast by this person.

This face - Lumi remembered it clearly - was the figure that he had caught a glimpse of at the banquet earlier, the assassin who did not forget to stuff a few bites into his mouth at the critical moment of the assassination.

"It's you?" Lumi murmured, his eyes fixed on Yun Shuo's face.

Recalling the previous attempt to assassinate Ella, and looking at the situation where the other party appeared here at this moment, it was basically a foregone conclusion that this person was also a member of ELO.

But Lumi still said something, tentatively asking, "Are you from ELO too?"

What if the other party was just a professional assassin hired by ELO? Then, he could easily offer a more tempting bargaining chip and bring him under his command with a higher price. Money is always the most direct temptation.

"Don't you think so?" Yun Shuo didn't even bother to give Lumi a perfunctory smile. His eyes swept over Lumi lightly.
