Volume 3, Chapter 80 – Shaman Fuyi

Undead?

Wait, since when did we have help from the Graveyard?

But Xingyu Muxi had already given Tianyin far too many surprises, so by now, even though Tianyin was surprised, she was only a little surprised.

Yeah, after all, Sister Xiaomu was Sister Xiaomu. Maybe even finding a Throne-class helper would not be impossible…

Thinking this as she hurried along with several thousand half-beasts, Tianyin unexpectedly ran into an undead army before she could even find that Beastman reinforcement force that had yet to receive support…

Strictly speaking, she ran into them halfway along the road.

A headless knight, riding a nightmare steed unique to the Graveyard, slowly rode up to Tianyin.

And behind the headless knight was a whole variety of undead troops.

“You are…”

Although Xingyu Muxi had mentioned earlier that the helper would be undead, Tianyin still did not lower her guard, just to be safe.

The power of the Seven Original Sins was already poised to be unleashed, and at the same time, Samael was already prepared to swap body control with Tianyin at any moment.

“My lord… this time I am here to fulfill an obligation, to help you deal with the Beastmen.”

Fischerna was rather straightforward and stated her purpose right from the start.

“Obligation?”

“I am the Headless Knight Fischerna, commander of the Graveyard Dread Knights. Today, I have come to help you deal with the Beastmen.”

“Wuu… so that’s how it is?!”

It was only now that Tianyin understood that the undead helper Xingyu Muxi had mentioned before should be this headless knight in front of her.

“But there are some things I don’t get. That Beastman reinforcement force has already lost half its numbers. I can handle it by myself…”

There was a reason Tianyin was thinking this way.

After all, her Throne-class strength was right there. Dealing with only fifty thousand Beastmen with no Legendary among them would not take much effort.

Besides, Xiaobingxue, who also had some fighting power, had come along with her…

However, because she had taken part in the annihilation battle during the day, Xiaobingxue was resting at the moment and was not by Tianyin’s side, so this headless knight from the Graveyard did not see her.

“I believe in your strength, my lord, but behind that Beastman reinforcement force there is another Beastman army with as many as one hundred thousand troops.”

“Hm? Is that so?”

Tianyin was a bit taken aback.

“There is another Beastman reinforcement force? Wait, why are the two reinforcement forces so close together?”

It was obvious that Tianyin’s attention was not on why the Beastmen still had another reinforcement army.

“You need not worry, my lord. The undead army under my command will help you clear away the obstacles.”

To Tianyin, who she suspected was Throne-class, the Headless Knight Fischerna showed full respect. Of course, it was also because Tianyin seemed to have some sort of relationship with the Undead Grand Duke Sargus that she treated Tianyin with such respect.

“Mm… then I’ll be troubling you…”

Though she felt a bit depressed, Tianyin still accepted with a smile. After all, this helper had been found for her by Sister Xiaomu.

On the other side, while Tianyin and Fischerna were meeting, the one hundred thousand strong Beastman army led by three Legendary Beastmen also ran into that Beastman army whose numbers had dwindled to only fifty thousand and was still searching for a path.

Of course, the reason they were still searching for a route was that there were still many roads they had not tried. In addition, to be on the safe side, although it was possible to build bridges over the ravines on some roads, the commander of this army had not done so.

After they had been stalled on the road for almost three days, they were caught up to by the reinforcements sent out later from the stronghold.

Of course, the reason they managed to catch up so fast was that the Beastman army in the rear was marching in light gear, so their marching speed was very fast.

“Can you tell me the reason the army has been at a standstill?”

When the armies joined up, it also meant the transfer of command. Faced with the three Legendarys dispatched by the stronghold, that Beastman commander of Epic-tier straightaway handed over command.

And during the handover he was asked this question by one of the Legendarys.

The one asking the question was a Legendary Beastman Shaman named Fuyi, his tall body draped in plain robes, his features much gentler than those of ordinary Beastmen.

“Yes, noble Shaman. It is not that I was unwilling to advance this time, but that the road ahead was cut off, and out of caution, before finding a path we could move along, I did not dare to cross the broken section of road…”

Both emotionally and logically, this cautious thinking was correct.

However, after hearing this Epic-tier Beastman’s explanation, aside from the Beastman Shaman Fuyi, who looked thoughtful, the other two Beastman Legendarys both had unconcerned expressions on their faces.

“You are being too cautious. If the road is broken, why not just cross it directly?”

“Your approach is good, but it lacks the indomitable drive that we Beastmen ought to have!”

“Yes…”

As an Epic-tier who was one level lower than Legendary, this Beastman commander knew he had no right to refute them and could only passively accept the Legendarys’ assessment of him.

“You may step down now. Leave the rest to us.”

In a calm tone, Shaman Fuyi dismissed this Beastman commander and then let out a small sigh.

“We have big trouble, everyone.”

These words, which seemed to have no reason behind them, came out of the mouth of this Legendary Beastman Shaman.

“Why does Shaman sir say that?”

Even though they were all Legendary, Shamans held a far more exalted status among the Beastmen, so the other two Beastman Legendarys were very respectful toward Fuyi.

“Our enemy has changed. I just communicated with the Spirit of the Earth, and that is what the earth told me.”

A Beastman Shaman was a very special profession. In terms of combat power, the lower limit was very low, but the upper limit was also extremely high. In terms of abilities, besides being able to commune with their ancestors and bestow various high buff states on the Beastmen, they could also commune with all the elements in the world and make them serve their own ends.

And while he had been talking with the Beastman commander just now, Fuyi had already communed with the Spirit of the Earth beneath his feet, that is, the earth elementals.

“You mean the enemy is not the Kingdom’s army?”

“It is not.”

Fuyi’s expression grew much more grave.

“That man just now was absolutely right. We can no longer choose to advance. The next battle is no longer one we can meddle in lightly. We cannot take back the Northern Fortress either. We have to retreat immediately.”

Clearly, there were three Beastman Legendarys present, and in terms of fighting power they were extremely strong, yet even so, Fuyi’s attitude was firm.

“Shaman sir, what on earth is going on?”

“Yeah, if you are going to say this all of a sudden, please at least tell us what has happened.”

“All you need to know is that our enemy is no longer the Kingdom. Retreat. If we still do not retreat, we will die at the hands of a Throne-class.”

By talking with the Spirit of the Earth, Fuyi had learned of the events that had taken place recently at the first possible moment.

As for the road that was part of the earth being smashed and sunk in one blow by a little girl during the day, the Spirit of the Earth remembered that incident very clearly.

According to the information the Spirit of the Earth had given him, the strength of that little girl who had destroyed the road had already reached Throne-class…

“The situation has changed. We must pull out.”
