"I didn't realize that you still have the kind of people who have pity for the weak."

Lin Yu walked side by side with Esdes again. They were not wearing imperial uniforms, so they did not attract hatred from the surrounding villagers. Otherwise, with Esdes' personality, those people would probably suffer a little.

"I never have mercy on the weak."

Lin Yu shook his head. If he really had mercy on the weak, he should have brought Main with him just now, but he did not. Some people in this world need not mercy, but recognition. Sometimes, self-advocating mercy will not only not comfort those struggling people, but will instead make them think they have been insulted.

"You only saw that child being bullied by other children, but you didn't see the strength in her eyes."

Lin Yu stopped. Although he did not intend to correct Esdes's view of the jungle, at least he could not make her too extreme.

"So-called compassion is sometimes an insult to those who live strongly, just like that child, she is strong and not pitiful!"

These words have been in Lin Yu's heart for a long time. He will never forget the days when he wandered alone after his parents' accident. Even if he had no source of life, he still lived strongly. He never needed pity for such things!

"That's it." Esdes nodded in Lin Yu's eyes: "It seems that you have a bad past, sorry."

This time it was Lin Yu's turn to be surprised.

"Do you even say sorry?"

Esdes smiled and said, "Why not? Am I like the kind of person who doesn't even have the courage to admit his mistake?"

Esdes thought about it and added another sentence: "Although I don't think I've done anything wrong."

"There are nothing good nearby, let's go back."

The two of them wandered around the villages around the camp but found nothing interesting. Asdes was also a little indifferent and immediately planned to return.

"Okay OK."

Lin Yu shrugged. This time he was already an unexpected gain to meet Ma Yin in such a place. He did not intend to have too much contact with the other party. Since Ma Yin has been able to live by his own strength so far, Lin Yu has no need to intervene.

Although the western border of the empire is many times better than that of the northern border, the border is a border after all. Not to mention the barren land, it is surrounded by barren scenery, so people have no idea how to go out for a walk, and the town has already seen it. Therefore, on the days when there was no war, Aesdes and Lin Yu both chose to stay in the camp.

Their battles were too loud and they could not use their skills in the military camp. In order not to increase suspicion, the two could not leave too frequently, so they could not even have a chance to compete. Just before mushrooms were growing on both of them, there was finally a new movement among the Western aliens.

"Ten thousand army? Do they really want to go to formally start a war with the empire?"

When I heard the number of troops used by Western aliens, even veterans like Nogo could not sit still. It doesn’t matter if it was a small fight of less than 10,000 people, but when the number of people in the war exceeded 10,000, it was a signal of declaring war!

"Is there a war of ten thousand people? Interesting."

Esdes was even happier when she heard this news. Now she has begun to desire for killing.

"The army of aliens will soon arrive at the camp, General, what should we do now?"

Nogo frowned tightly. The army of ten thousand people was not worth mentioning to the empire, but now the army on the border is only less than 5,000. In addition, the aliens know the terrain here well, so the emperor lacks understanding of the place. This war is overwhelmingly unfavorable!

"Order the troops to retreat to the canyon zone, and the number of enemies is twice that of ours. Fighting in the open zone is not good for us. If we resist the first wave of charge there, we still have hope of winning!"

Nogo looked at Esdes and Lin Yu. The victory or defeat of this war with a huge gap in military strength depends on the two people in front of him.

"Asdes, Lin Yu, after the battle begins, you will carry out the beheading operation. Be sure to find the enemy leader and then kill him!"

The army commander in this world is not in the rear but needs to charge on the front line in person. Therefore, killing the enemy leader in such a battle becomes the only possibility of turning the tables.

But those who can become the commander of the army definitely have the strength of the imperial envoy. It is not easy to find the opponent in tens of thousands of troops and kill them.

"Understood!"

Lin Yu had already made up his mind to paddle in the war, but Asdes was full of energy. She knew very well that this was an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The emperor is at a disadvantage, and the number of enemy troops is twice that of the emperor. If such a situation is reversed by her alone, it will definitely be a great military achievement!

"I'm really energetic, but there shouldn't be any problem. After all, she's Esdes!"

Lin Yu squinted his eyes and looked at Esdes, who was full of confidence on his face and thought silently.

Although Nogo's army was not large in number, they were all selected elite soldiers and generals. Even though they knew that they were going to face twice as many troops as their own, they were not at all confused. This quality had already determined their strong combat power. After rushing to the canyon in Nogo, they began to divide the labor and arrange it clearly. They were ready in just a moment, just waiting for the enemy to arrive.

The valley was silent, and the positions of thousands of people did not make any strange noises. Everyone was quietly waiting for the arrival of a fierce battle. Even in the best expected situation, half of the soldiers would die, but everyone had no timidity on their faces. This world has never lacked war, even in the most powerful period of the empire, so these soldiers have long been accustomed to it.

"Here you come!"

Nogo browsed. They could already see the dust raised by the cavalry of Western aliens. In the true sense, thousands of troops appeared in front of everyone!

"It seems that I can't continue to be leisurely."

Lin Yu raised his brows slightly. Although he did not intend to shoot Esdes in the limelight, such a battle was a rare trial for him. Of course, he could not waste opportunities at will.

As the cavalry approaches, a large number of guns and medium-range weapons such as bows and crossbows will launch the first attack. This is a magical world. Ordinary guns are difficult to work for qualified imperial soldiers, but if it is such a densely populated battlefield, it has excellent results.

Ding! Ding!

The bullet hit the armor and sparked sparks. Many soldiers who were unlucky to not shoot were dropped from their horses, and the bloody battle began.

"Where is the enemy's commander?"

Esdes completely ignored the defensive position that Nogo ordered to build before the battle, plunged into the dark enemy and started fighting. Even Nogo was shocked by such a fierce performance. When he wanted to stop it, Esdes rushed out.

"So weak, so weak!"

The sword in Esdes's hand was not a special weapon, but in her hand it was like the sickle of the god of death, constantly harvesting the lives of Western foreign soldiers. Lin Yu smiled helplessly when he saw this, so he had to rush out. Although he believed that Esdes would not be in danger in such a small fight, it would be better to follow it in order to prevent accidents.

In the last battle, Esdes was treated as the number one threat by Western aliens. Although they knew that the commander of the empire was a veteran like Nogo, they also knew that Nogo's threat was actually quite limited. On the contrary, the younger generation like Esdes who showed their strength was more worthy of attention. As soon as Esdes showed up, a large number of strong men surrounded her.

"Tsk tsk, have I been taken care of?"

Lin Yu has always been tepid, but even several strong men came to him. Although they were wearing the same clothes, their momentum was too sharp, so it could be seen at a glance that Lin Yu happened to try to test how his strength has improved during this period. Western aliens did this as he wanted.

"Then kill it!"

Click!

An ice sword condensed in his hand. Without using ice flame, Lin Yu showed his strongest strength at present. Even if he fought against four strong men with strong strength, he could not lose his advantage and could launch counterattacks from time to time. His current close strength is many times better than the situation when he could only fight with ice flames when he just arrived.

"So strong, Lin Yu actually hides such strong strength. It seems that he was hiding his weakness before!"

Nogo also noticed Lin Yu's condition who rushed out with Esdes. The strength he showed was obviously not at the same level as before!

"How is that possible!"

When Nogo turned his gaze to Esdes again, he almost glared out his eyes.

Red, bright red, Esdes had a bright smile on his face, but the sword in her hand easily defeated anyone who dared to approach her within five meters, even those strong men who went to surround her and killed her!

Blood and limbs were constantly piled up around her, and Esdes was now like a super efficient mowing machine, like a harvester of anyone's life.

and……

"She can actually laugh so cruelly."

Nogo's heart felt like it was held by the god of death. Asdes was a natural hunter, and both dangerous species and humans were her prey!

"Crazy, it's crazy!"

Nogo had never seen a person like Esdes who continued to grow in the killing and even immersed in the killing himself. He could almost foresee that an existence that would overtake anyone in force would be born in the near future!

"The whole army! Charge!"

Originally, Nogo was planning to use the temporary defensive positions here to resist the attacks of Western aliens, but now it seems that there is no need. Because of Esdes' performance, the emperor's morale has reached its peak!

Morale is a rather strange thing, it is invisible and intangible, but it does exist. A same army will definitely have combat power far beyond the usual state when their morale reaches its peak. Even if they are facing twice their enemy now, they still dare to charge, and even overwhelm the enemy with an absolute advantage in their momentum!

Almost as soon as Nogo finished his words, his words were neatly repeated by the soldiers around him. Thousands of soldiers launched an attack at the same time. More people would immediately fall down. Although the military power of Western aliens was the upper hand, they were retreating step by step and eventually had to issue orders to retreat.

This is a war of a very bad start. Western aliens came with the intention of expelling the emperor or even destroying them, but after half of the casualties, they had to retreat, leaving only the bodies dyed red in the canyon lying on the cold ground.

“Is this the process of Esdes growing up?”

In the anime, there are only some clips about Esdes' past. When the plot begins, she is already at the peak. Lin Yu never thought that a person could grow up so rapidly. After experiencing the first war, Esdes was completely different from her before!

"Is this the way Esdes becomes stronger?"

Lin Yu clenched his hands tightly. The strength of the future Asdes is enough to crush anyone in the "Scarlet Shana" world. The only ones that can compete with her are the original body of the God of Heaven's Punishment Alastoru and the two bosses, the Snake of Sacrifice. Even if the serious Xiu Denan fights Asdes, he will be killed soon!

Esdes's strength is exactly what Lin Yu needs. If he can have this strength before the last two rovers arrive, he will be able to stand to the end in this rovers battle!

"How is it? I should have performed well, right?"

Asdes walked to Lin Yu. She was not here to show off to Lin Yu. There was only one purpose of saying this - to gain recognition!

In Asdes' eyes, Lin Yu is a stronger existence, and even her motivation to keep growing stronger can be said to be all from Lin Yu. Only Lin Yu himself knows that she is the existence he needs to chase.

"It's very strong, really strong. If I succeed in obtaining the imperial instrument this time, I'm afraid I won't be your opponent."

Lin Yu nodded to Esdes, who showed a smile that reached his heart when he nodded. It was not the kind of smile that was pleasant because of the killing, but the kind of joy that his efforts had finally achieved success.

"Looking forward to our true battle in the future."

Lin Yu's expression was very serious. His power on the ice flame had reached its peak. At least there would be no breakthrough in the short term. After Esdes obtained her power, they would be able to fight with all their strength in the true sense. At that time, Lin Yu would face the huge threat of the agent.

"I won't let you wait too long."
