Chapter 115 - Chapter 115: The Sacred Wall of Felinir

"Great master, Celestine is willing to be loyal to you, offering her soul to serve by your side."

The "elven" saint spoke with reverence, displaying a submissive and devout demeanor.

She had clearly already molded herself to Su Nian's liking.

As for that so-called Goddess of Peace...

She had long been forgotten, gathering dust somewhere unknown.

But this wasn't what Su Nian was waiting for.

Perhaps he wasn't approaching this correctly?

He felt somewhat bewildered.

He could only try repeating himself:

"Offer your loyalty, and I shall eliminate your enemies!"

"...Great master, Celestine is willing to become your servant, at your disposal."

Although Celestine was deeply confused inside, she obediently repeated herself.

Perhaps the black dragon before her simply enjoyed hearing such words.

Su Nian fell silent.

"System, what about the special ability you promised? Is this one really a special female NPC?"

[Please be patient, host. This is S-class special female NPC Celestine. You will obtain the special ability once you fulfill her wish]

"..."

The system was becoming increasingly cunning, luring the host in before striking.

This wasn't how the system had explained things before.

Su Nian glanced at Celestine's status panel.

Overall, it looked decent.

A fourth-rank Archmage with acceptable talents. Her personality traits showed "compassionate" and "gentle," with no abnormal status effects, though she was experiencing some anxiety.

It matched her character setting quite well.

But compared to Anna, there was still a significant gap, as Anna had top-tier dual talents.

Most importantly...

Anna was still so small.

Su Nian didn't bother arguing with the system.

Even a summoned demon, whether genuine or not, would fulfill the summoner's wish before devouring their soul.

As a righteous black dragon, he naturally needed to help his subordinate clean up her mess!

"Tell me about the current situation!"

"How many people does that mercenary group have?"

"How far are they from your capital now?"

"And you, how many troops do you have left?"

Hearing this, Celestine's heart leaped with joy. Things were finally getting back on track. She hastily reported to the black dragon:

"Great master, Gus commands over three thousand humanoid creatures."

"Their strength varies greatly, from the lowest-level goblins to the strongest ogres."

"By now, they should have already captured the Sacred Wall of Felinir, just a day's journey from the capital, and I have no usable army left."

"You are my servant's final hope, and also the last hope for Holy Aulist. I beg you, save this country."

Celestine spoke with a heavy tone, kneeling on the ground, humbly pleading.

...

The Sacred Wall of Felinir.

A troll over three meters tall pushed open a door with a "bang" and walked out with a sinister smile.

Behind him in the room...

A dark corner was revealed.

A human girl lay there with eyes wide open, her body covered in wounds, clothes in tatters, clearly tortured to death.

"I must say, the women of Holy Aulist are so juicy, worthy of a coastal nation."

The troll walked up to a human soldier, grinning with his huge mouth, and ordered:

"Boy, go clean up her corpse. Tonight we'll attack the capital. I'll ask the boss to assign you a fresh one to play with."

"You're new here, don't say I didn't look after you. Just do a good job, and you'll get everything."

After speaking, the troll chief walked away with a satisfied expression, adjusting his pants as he swaggered off, humming an unrecognizable tune.

The human soldier pressed his lips together, clenching his fists.

He had black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin.

His name was Li Chen.

A player from the Celestial Empire.

He had deliberately joined this infamous mercenary group, not to participate in their evil deeds, but to destroy them.

Now, he was a spy within the mercenary group, specifically gathering intelligence on them.

This had been going on for five days.

"Troll Chief, Level 28."

"That's the last one."

Li Chen silently typed this information into the team channel.

[Received. Li Chen, continue to lie low. We're accelerating our leveling speed. In three days at most, we'll kill all these scum.]

"Three days!?"

Li Chen's face darkened, his teeth clenched.

A beast-like growl emerged from his throat.

"I have to stay here for three more days, continue watching this hell on earth, watching these bastards roam free?"

"We can resurrect! Even though resurrection chances are extremely precious, but..."

"But don't you have hearts?!"

[Li Chen, please calm down. Just endure a little longer.]

"How can I be calm!?"

Li Chen suppressed the grief and discomfort in his heart as he walked into the room. He took a screenshot of the girl's corpse, applied a mosaic filter, leaving only her face with its expression of despair visible, and sent it to the team channel.

"Tell me, how am I supposed to endure this!"

The team channel fell silent for a moment.

[Sigh...]

[Li Chen, we understand your frustration, but you must understand, this is an alternate world after all]

[We don't belong here, and our ultimate goal is to occupy this place, win the gamble, and protect our own homeland]

Li Chen didn't want to talk anymore.

He cut off the team channel with a "click."

The girl's corpse before him was still warm, but rapidly cooling as her soul had already departed.

He silently lifted the girl up, ignoring the blood on her, and carried her on his back.

"I'm sorry."

Li Chen muttered.

His voice caught in his throat.

It felt like sand had been poured in, making it difficult to speak.

This girl's name was Hao Na.

Just half an hour ago, she had begged him.

Asked him to let her go.

Hao Na's pleas still echoed clearly in his mind.

"Brother, can you let me go?"

"Brother, please, I... I don't want to die, nor do I want to be defiled by those disgusting monsters..."

"We... we're both humans after all!!"

...

"I'm sorry."

Li Chen placed Hao Na's body in a shallow grave, gently closed her eyes, and buried her one scoop of soil at a time.

"You're right, we are both human."

"Perhaps if I hadn't met you, I would have held firm to my beliefs, but people are selfish."

A faint white light flashed, and Li Chen's simple linen clothes were replaced by a layer of sturdy armor, while a sharp sword appeared in his hand.

"Perhaps my strength alone is insignificant."

"But I don't want to wait any longer."

"Although it's too late... I will avenge you!"

Li Chen's eyes glowed red as his gaze locked onto a tent in the distance.

That was where the troll chief resided.

While the captured girls were only allowed to crouch in cold, dark brick houses.

Without even a straw mat.
