Volume 8, Chapter 26 – A Preventive Measure

For Tianyin, sometimes the happiest thing in life was nothing more than drinking her favorite sweet melon juice, then narrowing her eyes as she enjoyed breakfast.

The overly sweet sweet melon juice slid from her mouth down her throat. As Tianyin savored the intoxicating flavor, she let out an animal-like cute moan.

“Wuu… it’s so good…”

Normally, Tianyin in front of others was a respected and lofty Throne-tier that could only be looked up to. But when she was drinking sweet melon juice, the feeling she gave was not that of a majestic Throne-tier, but more like an adorable mascot.

Watching Tianyin sitting on a chair that had been specially raised by just “a little bit”, even the serious knight girl Fisiel couldn’t help but blush.

‘So… so cute… if I could hold her in my arms…’

The knight girl was thinking of something “embarrassing” in her heart. And if Tianyin knew what Fisiel was thinking, she might get angry and puff up her cheeks to scold Fisiel.

Of course, even if Tianyin got angry, it would still be very cute. After all, with Tianyin’s EX-tier charm, she was adorable no matter what.

“Oh right, Fisiel.”

After finishing the sweet melon juice in her hand, Tianyin suddenly spoke as if she had remembered something.

“Recently, the Northern Fortress will probably receive reinforcements, so when the time comes, remember to let those people in.”

“Reinforcements?”

Tianyin’s words made the knight girl pause slightly.

“That’s right, reinforcements. Although we wiped out Inferno’s army this time, Inferno’s strength definitely can’t be represented by just this many demons. If nothing unexpected happens, a new demon army will arrive very soon…

“A new demon army…”

Hearing this, the relaxed expression on Fisiel’s face also faded.

“That’s true… Inferno’s invasion wouldn’t be limited to a single attack. After learning that we wiped out their legion, they’ll definitely come looking for trouble. But… Xiaoyin, are reinforcements really necessary? Even if Inferno’s army is larger than ours, I feel that with your Throne-tier strength, you can ignore the disadvantage in numbers.”

“Well… I’m very happy that you think so of me, Fisiel… but next time, that Abyssal Lord might personally come over, you know~”

“A… Abyssal Lord?”

“That’s right.”

This was the truth.

After all, Tianyin clearly knew that the Abyssal Lord’s target was actually herself. Although she didn’t know why the Abyss referred to her as a “vessel”, the Abyssal Lord definitely had some ulterior motive toward her. This was something Tianyin knew.

Moreover, although the System Light Orb wasn’t very reliable, it had warned her to some extent. So Tianyin had a premonition that the next Inferno army would be accompanied by the Abyssal Lord’s personal descent.

And when that happened, Tianyin would have to face the Abyssal Lord directly. Since both of them were Throne-tier, once Tianyin and the Abyssal Lord fought, there would be no way for her to look after Fisiel and the Northern Fortress’s army.

Therefore, to ease the pressure on the defending forces, the existence of reinforcements was absolutely necessary.

After all, with reinforcements, the numerical disadvantage would be reduced, and casualties could be minimized as much as possible.

However, Fisiel didn’t know these things. So when she heard Tianyin say that the Abyssal Lord would personally descend, she was extremely shocked.

“How could that be… will the Abyssal Lord really come?”

“I wouldn’t lie to you, Fisiel. Trust me… besides, having reinforcements is better than having none, right?”

“Mm…”

On this point, the knight girl had no way to refute her.

“Xiaoyin. Let me ask one thing. Where will the reinforcements be coming from?”

“Reinforcements? Let me think…”

Tianyin began recalling the factions she had contacted.

“Roughly speaking, Fortress reinforcements will come. Nature’s side is uncertain, but they should come too… and Graveyard’s reinforcements should also arrive…”

“Graveyard?”

Although there had been a brief experience of “cooperation” with Graveyard’s forces before, most of the time, Fisiel was still in an antagonistic relationship with Graveyard.

And before Fisiel joined Dawn, her impression of Graveyard could be said to be extremely bad.

So when Tianyin said that Graveyard’s forces would also come to support them, the knight girl’s first reaction was that Graveyard had ill intentions.

“How is that possible… those undead from Graveyard will get involved too?”

“Wuu… that’s right. Fisiel, you seem a bit unhappy? Did something happen?”

When Graveyard was mentioned, the knight girl’s expression immediately worsened.

After all, Graveyard had once invaded the Kingdom. Not only that, it had directly killed many of Fisiel’s fellow paladins.

It could be said that Fisiel and Graveyard had a grudge. Asking her to show Graveyard any goodwill was indeed asking too much of her.

“It’s nothing… I’m just surprised that Graveyard would come to provide support…”

“I see.”

Hearing Fisiel’s answer, Tianyin immediately understood her feelings. Although she hadn’t used the power of Lust to sense Fisiel’s inner thoughts, Tianyin was already very “experienced” by now.

“Relax. After the self-proclaimed Undead Grand Duke Sargus died, Graveyard was no longer the same Graveyard as before. Invasions and the like probably won’t happen again. Besides, Fisiel, isn’t your ancestor Fischerna in Graveyard?”

“Uhh… she’s her, I’m me… I’m a Paladin. Even if she’s my ancestor, I still… I still…”

“Well, you don’t need to worry too much about that kind of thing. When Graveyard’s reinforcements arrive, just let them in. But when the time comes, Fisiel, you need to properly restrain your soldiers~”

The reason Tianyin brought up this topic with Fisiel was because she wanted to give her a preventive measure in advance.

After all, if the reinforcements arrived but were turned away at the gates, that would be extremely unsightly.

Of course, that was only one reason. What Tianyin was most worried about was whether the Northern Fortress’s defenders would mistake Graveyard’s forces for enemies once they arrived.

So speaking to Fisiel about these matters in advance was very necessary.

“Wuu… I’ve said everything I needed to say, Fisiel. I’ll leave the rest to you~ Don’t let me down~”

At the end of the conversation, Tianyin narrowed her eyes as she finished the last bite of breakfast, then revealed her sharp little tiger teeth to cheer Fisiel on.

“Mm… I understand…”

Although she felt a bit helpless, Fisiel wasn’t someone who couldn’t distinguish priorities. So in the end, she didn’t raise any objections to Tianyin’s orders.

……

And while Tianyin and Fisiel were communicating, in the distant Kingdom, at the place where the Abyssal Lord resided, more than a million demons had already gathered together.

Not only that, the number of demon troops exceeding a million was still rapidly increasing.
