Volume 3, Chapter 56 – Join Eden

“Trust… you?”

The knight girl murmured to herself.

But those beautiful eyes of hers were filled with a shocked gaze.

“You… you…”

It was only natural for her to be this astonished.

After all, in Fisiel’s impression, the cat-eared girl Yeluo was a character with no combat power at all.

From the players’ perspective as well, the cat-eared girl Yeluo was nothing more than a weak NPC who was only level 10.

Yet at this moment, an indescribable power was radiating from the cat-eared girl’s body, and just the pressure it carried was hard to put into words.

“Fisiel, you don’t need to be surprised by my current strength. I have paid a certain price to become like this. But before that, Fisiel, do you not want to defend the Northern Fortress?”

“I do… but just wanting to… what use is that?”

After this great battle, Fisiel actually understood very clearly that without the Kingdom’s constant reinforcements, she was no longer able to resist the Stronghold’s offensive.

“It is useful, Fisiel.”

The cat-eared girl shook her head.

“At the very least, right now those three hundred thousand Beastmen no longer have the courage to attack the Northern Fortress again.”

“No courage?”

On hearing this, Fisiel grew even more confused.

After the Beastmen’s surprise attack, the Kingdom no longer had the strength to keep fighting. By all rights, the Beastmen should now press their advantage, and the Northern Fortress should practically be within arm’s reach.

But for Yeluo to say this kind of thing felt far too strange.

“Yes, no courage.”

In truth, Yeluo did not intend to hide the fact that she had killed Grinrui.

“For certain reasons, Fisiel, I paid a huge price to use a powerful strength, and then I killed the Legendary of this Beastman army.”

“What——”

Shock.

Not only did Fisiel’s mind go blank for a moment when she heard this sentence, even the Paladins present could not help but open their mouths wide and draw in sharp breaths of cold air.

“Something like that actually happened?”

“Which Legendary actually died?”

“Impossible, how could a Legendary be killed so easily…”

Although they were shocked, in the end it was still just one person’s words, and they had not seen any proof, so the Paladins present were unwilling to believe something like this.

After all, that was a Legendary.

Even though the Half-beast girl before their eyes had somehow gained a mysterious “powerful” strength, without knowing the girl’s true power, hardly any of them were willing to connect her current strength with Throne-class.

It was not that they could not, they did not dare.

Throne-class stood at the very pinnacle of the world. Legendary could be called the strongest within the mortal world, but Throne-class was the strongest in the world.

Just in terms of the level it represented, the difference was like heaven and earth. Throne-class was something people like them could not casually even think about.

“Well, it seems that everyone is a bit reluctant to believe me, but these are the facts.”

Yeluo saw through the thoughts of everyone present at a glance.

“But do none of you want to know why the Beastman army that held absolute advantage in the camp just now ended up completely wiped out in just a little over ten minutes?”

“Wait… could it be…”

As if they had agreed in advance, the Paladins present all remembered, at the same time, that ghostly figure which had suddenly appeared on each battlefield during the previous fight.

During that period of time, every time that figure appeared it was only for the span of a finger snap. If not for the dozens of dead Beastman soldiers left behind after each appearance and disappearance, they would have thought it was an illusion.

“That person… could it be…”

“That was me, that was me~”

Yeluo admitted it very directly.

“For me, who spent a few dozen minutes to finish off those thirty thousand Beastmen, to be able to defeat that Beastman Legendary, if you think about it now, it should not be surprising, right?”

“Could it be, Yeluo, you are Throne…”

“No, I am not Throne-class.”

Seeing the doubtful and shocked expression on the Paladin girl’s face, Yeluo shook her head and denied it.

“I am not Throne-class. I am just an ordinary Half-beast who temporarily possesses an unbelievable power.”

Only at this moment did Fisiel’s mood finally calm down a little.

“Then, if that is the case, Yeluo, I am willing to believe you, but…”

In her mind, Yeluo’s earlier words began to echo.

“Can you tell me what this so-called huge price was?”

It was not just curiosity. Mixed in with it was the gratitude she felt for Yeluo’s willingness to lend a hand.

“There is no need. As for the price and so on, I already don’t care anymore.”

The cat-eared girl smiled, looking completely unconcerned, as if the price she had paid in exchange for this power was not “very important.”

“If it is allowed, my power can continue to be borrowed. However for now, Fisiel, I hope you can listen carefully to my suggestion.”

The knight girl nodded, indicating that she understood.

Seeing that the knight girl was willing to hear her opinion, Yeluo let out a long sigh.

“Well, I am also a little unwilling, but Fisiel, although the Beastmen who have lost their commander can no longer launch an attack on us, we who have suffered heavy losses also cannot launch a counterattack against the Beastmen. This is a fact we cannot ignore, right?”

“That is right.”

Even though her heart felt heavy, Fisiel had no choice but to nod and admit this stark and undeniable fact.

“So then, Fisiel, are you really willing to just watch as the Beastmen appoint a new commander and then send troops to attack the Northern Fortress again?”

Reаԁ оո KаtRеaⅾiոɡCаfе

“No, the Northern Fortress absolutely, absolutely cannot be taken by the Beastmen.”

In response to Yeluo’s question, Fisiel’s answer was firm and resolute.

“So, Fisiel, without reinforcements from the Kingdom, although for the time being the Northern Fortress will remain ours as long as the Beastmen don’t attack, once the Beastmen launch their assault, the fall of the Northern Fortress will only be a matter of time. So, Fisiel, the Northern Fortress absolutely must not, absolutely must not fall, right?”

“That is right, the Northern Fortress absolutely cannot be lost.”

The serious expression on the knight girl’s face also reflected what she thought in her heart.

Hearing Fisiel’s firm answer, Yeluo nodded, then went on.

“So, Fisiel, I have already thought of a way to solve this problem. It is actually very easy. Right now we no longer have the Kingdom’s support, but we can seek Eden’s support.”

“But…”

When Eden was mentioned, Fisiel immediately thought of how she had already been rejected.

Just as she was about to speak, the cat-eared girl in front of her cut off the words she wanted to say.

“Hey, Fisiel.”

The cat-eared girl twitched her fluffy ears.

“So my suggestion is, why do we not just join Eden?”

“Eh?”
