Volume 3, Chapter 52 – Nothing But Ordinary People

The Beastmen had launched a sneak attack.

Although she very much did not want to believe it, after sensing the chaotic commotion outside, Yeluo could confirm that it meant the Beastmen had begun their assault.

So her worries from yesterday had been correct. The Beastmen would attack at this time. Even though, before the Beastmen launched their sneak attack, Yeluo had still held on to a tiny shred of wishful thinking, but…

The facts were already right in front of her. The Beastmen had already begun their attack.

“Fisiel…:”

Even now, the catgirl Yeluo, hiding in the tent, was only hoping that the Kingdom army could hold out until Fisiel, who had not been gone long, returned.

The world outside was already in utter chaos. Having once again found herself on a battlefield, Yeluo’s heart held nothing but fear, and more fear.

She did possess the ability of Gluttony, but the price required to trade for the power of Gluttony was simply far too great, so Yeluo did not want to use that kind of power.

Besides…

The Kingdom clearly had an army of two hundred thousand, and there was also a knight order of ten thousand with formidable combat strength. As long as they held on for half a day and waited for Fisiel to return, all of these problems would definitely be resolved.

So Yeluo did not believe that a situation like this needed her help.

Besides…

To put it bluntly, everyone in the Kingdom was human. Even if they had kindly taken her in, in the end they were still only humans.

They were not her people. Even if they failed, she did not need to be the one to shoulder responsibility for this matter.

“So… so I just need to be good and stay here, and wait for Fisiel to arrive…”

The cat-eared girl, shivering as she hid in the corner of the tent, muttered to herself like this.

Outside, a brutal battle was still raging.

Yet Yeluo had no intention of going out to see the fighting outside, not even for a single second.

Like that, the catgirl just huddled in the corner in fright.

And as time went by.

Until… Something unexpected happened.

Out of nowhere, a gust of wind suddenly swept over the tent, and in the next instant, the tent was stripped away by that formless “wind”.

At the instant the tent was torn away, at the moment the panicked cat-eared girl lifted her head.

A figure that Yeluo knew all too well appeared in her field of vision.

“Hm, I felt some Half-beast presence around here so I came over. Never expected, never expected… is this not the Half-beast Chieftain? How come it looks like you are not dead yet?”

A teasing voice.

Hearing those words, Yeluo could only stare blankly at the tall figure before her, completely at a loss as to how to answer.

Because, standing in front of Yeluo was none other than the Legendary Grinrui.

At this moment, in the entire Kingdom camp, most of the paladins had already died miserably at the hands of Grinrui and the wolf riders under his command, and the thirty thousand elite Beastmen were also engaged in battle with the Kingdom army in the camp, who now had no fighting spirit left.

Although the Beastmen were fewer in number, the Kingdom army had already lost all will to fight, so even with the advantage in numbers, the Kingdom army was still being pushed back step by step.

Having seized control of the situation, Grinrui had, by chance, sensed the presence of Yeluo, this Half-beast.

And then, he found Yeluo.

“Strange, those humans actually did not kill you and even gave you a place to live? Are they really that kind?”

Grinrui looked at the “short” catgirl before him and asked in a mocking tone.

Faced with Grinrui suddenly appearing in front of her, Yeluo’s mind had already fallen into a complete blank.

So Yeluo did not even hear what Grinrui was saying.

“Not answering? Scared stupid? Makes sense. I suddenly lifting up your tent like that, with the way you Half-beasts are, the fact you were not scared to death is already a miracle…”

In high spirits from winning the war, Grinrui did not bother to hold it against Yeluo for ignoring him.

“But anyway, you being alive gives me a bit of a headache… After all, I already sent people to report that you, the Half-beast Chieftain, died in an accident in battle, and now you suddenly came back ‘alive’, if this gets reported back, would that not make things very awkward for me?”

“You…”

Sensing something, Yeluo only lifted her head in a daze and looked at Grinrui’s calm face.

“You want to… kill me?”

“So you can hear me after all, not scared stupid?”

“Want… to kill me?”

Yeluo once again asked in a daze.

“That’s right. After all, I have already reported the news of your death. If you suddenly come back to life, would I not be very embarrassed for having falsely reported military information?”

Grinrui patiently explained.

“Don’t worry. I will take your fragile life in a single blow and let you, just like your dead parents, turn into light specks and disappear from this world.”

“Light… specks…”

In a daze.

The scene of her family dying in front of her eyes surfaced before Yeluo once more.

In this world, aside from Legendary and Throne-class, everyone, no matter what race, upon death would only turn into light specks and then disappear from the world without leaving a trace.

No trace left behind. Aside from the most important people by their side retaining the memory of the deceased, that dead person would no longer be remembered by anyone else.

Many years later, the ones who remembered them would also die, and when that time came, who in this world would still remember that person?

Her mother had died.

She had turned into a beautiful patch of light specks.

Her father had died as well.

He too had turned into a beautiful patch of light specks.

And then… if she died as well…

Would she also become beautiful light specks, just like her father and mother?

If that happened, would their family be reunited?

Yeluo suddenly thought this, childishly.

All that talk of people, of responsibility, of the future.

She was obviously nothing more than a child who had not even grown up yet, yet for some inexplicable reason she had to shoulder so much.

Clearly she could possess power, yet she still had to trade her most precious memories in exchange.

For someone as weak and useless as herself, if she were to just die like this… it would almost be what she deserved, right.

“Have you forgotten the wish you once spoke of, that you wanted to save all the Half-beasts?”

In that instant, a figure suddenly stepped in front of Yeluo.

Even though there was a huge dent in his chest, that figure nonetheless forcibly took Grinrui’s attack.

“Were you not already completely without fighting spirit and about to die?”

Right after that, Yeluo heard Grinrui’s surprised voice.

“Ah… I have lost my sword, and I am close to death.”

The figure standing in front of Yeluo answered like this.

“But the Captain has not returned yet, so I still cannot fall… and I also cannot allow the weak to be oppressed…”

Even though his breathing was already close to running dry, the tone of the figure’s voice remained incomparably firm.

“I can see it now, you paladins are all a bunch of hopeless, unreasonable lunatics!”

“No… we are not lunatics, we are just a group of ordinary people who are willing to give everything we have for the faith in our hearts!”
