The Southern Border City's city walls were like a woman who had been ravaged for a long time. The sturdy walls were dilapidated and full of scars.
On a wall with obvious traces of gunpowder, the genius military commander of the Empire, Firenze, was directing the soldiers and civilians with a haggard face. He would even personally move some large rocks to repair the loose wall.
Firenze, who was busy among the crowd, was no longer as high-spirited as he was in the past. His hair was disheveled and his armor was covered in a layer of dust, no longer as shiny as before. If it wasn't for Han Shuo's excellent memory, it would've been very difficult for ordinary people to recognize him from the crowd. They would've only thought of him as a poor man past his prime.
The bitter battle brought more and more unbearable pressure to the people of the Southern Border. However, as the protector of the Southern Border, the pressure on Firenze was absolutely greater than everyone else's!
"Father, how, how did you become like this!" A sorrowful cry came from Fanny's mouth. The fleeting Fanny arrived beside Firenze in the blink of an eye. Sparkling and translucent tears were already rolling down her cheeks, as if they would overflow at any moment.
"Lass, how did you come to the Southern Border?" Firenze was extremely surprised to see his daughter. He smiled and shouted loudly. He opened his arms and intended to give Fanny a hug.
As if he suddenly recalled something, Firenze abruptly stopped his actions. The surprise on his face abruptly faded as he solemnly said, "What are you doing here? Didn't I send you a letter telling you not to come? The situation in the Southern Border is so dangerous. I don't want you to come here and bear unnecessary danger! "
"You can't hold on much longer yourself. Why do you still care about me?" Fanny angrily cried out. She could no longer control the rolling tears in her eyes. Two long trails of tears immediately formed on her tender white cheeks. "I know you care about me, but your daughter is just as worried about you, Father."
A trace of relief and joy flashed across his eyes, but it was well concealed by Firenze. He pointed at Fanny and angrily shouted, "As the Commander of the Southern Border Army, even if I die here in battle, it is still my responsibility. But you're different. You're one of the most outstanding grand magi in the Empire, as well as the director of the necromancy major of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. You have great responsibilities and so many students to teach. How can you bear unnecessary danger here? "
"I'm not here in any other capacity. I'm your daughter. I'm worried about you, and I'm here to see you. That's all!" Fanny had already arrived at Firenze's side. Ignoring Firenze's objections, she reached out her hand to tidy up Firenze's messy hair. Before Firenze lost his temper, she softly said, "Besides, I didn't come here alone."
"Who else?" Firenze stared blankly for a moment before following Fanny's gaze. Suddenly, his expression changed as though he had seen a ghost. He abruptly cursed, "Smelly brat, it's actually you! For five years, there was no news at all. Do you know how hard my daughter has been waiting for you? Little bastard, what did you promise me? Is this how you treat those women who love you? Just like that … "
A torrent of curses gushed out from Firenze's mouth. When Firenze saw Han Shuo, his fiery temper could no longer be controlled. His curses showed no signs of stopping.
Han Shuo smiled wryly. He admired his father-in-law's temper but felt helpless at the same time. In addition, what Firenze said was the truth. Han Shuo simply could not find any reason to refute and could only let Firenze vent the anger in his heart.
"…" A string of curses came out of Firenze's mouth. The explosive power unleashed was indeed astonishing. After a while, when Han Shuo saw that Firenze still showed no signs of stopping, he used his divine energy to isolate the surrounding sound.
With a smile on his face, Han Shuo nodded repeatedly, as though he was seriously listening to Firenze's lecture. His attitude was surprisingly good.
"Smelly brat, don't think that I'll let you off just because your attitude is good!" After a bout of cursing, Firenze no longer had any strength left. He glared fiercely at Han Shuo and finally expressed his unwillingness to let the matter rest.
Although Han Shuo, who had been looking at Firenze with a smile on his face, did not hear Firenze's curses, he could sense that Firenze had successfully vented the heavy pressure in his heart by cursing to his heart's content. Although Firenze appeared to be exhausted from cursing, Han Shuo knew that Firenze's mental state had obviously relaxed a lot after such a bout of cursing.
"Let's not talk about personal matters for now. The reason I came here this time is to lend you a hand and eliminate the threat of the Empire of Orcs!" After Firenze finished venting his anger, Han Shuo first expressed his sincere apologies for Fanny's sake before he calmly said, "That's right.
"What? Clear up the threat of the Empire of Orcs? Have you disappeared for too long that you can't distinguish the situation? " Firenze, who had just calmed down, jumped up again like an ignited dynamite. He looked at Han Shuo as though he was looking at a lunatic and started shouting.
"You heard me right!" Han Shuo confidently said, "Since I'm here, it means that there are basically no more obstacles in your mission."
"Smelly brat, you're really crazy. Do you think you're facing one or two orcs? Do you think you can repel an army of more than a hundred thousand orcs by yourself? Do you think you're a god? "Firenze was almost driven mad by Han Shuo. He felt that Han Shuo's words were a little too arrogant.
"To an ordinary person, I'm indeed a god!" Han Shuo proudly said.
Firenze suddenly jumped up and pointed at Han Shuo with a flushed face. Just as he was about to say something, Han Shuo suddenly waved his hand and interrupted him. Han Shuo arrogantly said, "Say no more. You'll see the truth very soon."
Han Shuo did not give Firenze the chance to jump up and curse. After finishing his words, Han Shuo swaggered out of the city. Under the baffled gazes of many soldiers and civilians of the South Border City, Han Shuo flew step by step towards the dense mass of orc tents in front of him.
"Who is that? How dare he speak to Lord Firenze like that? "a burly civilian asked in astonishment.
"Lord Brian! He's Lord Brian! I was fortunate enough to meet him once in Ossen City. There's no mistaking it! "a military officer who had participated in the civil strife in Lancelot Empire a few years ago suddenly cried out in surprise.
Everyone was shocked when they heard his words!
All the soldiers and civilians on the city wall who heard the military officer's cry were like hot water that had been roasted in a fire for a long time suddenly boiling. Clamorous shouts of surprise erupted from every corner of the city wall.
"Lord Brian has appeared! The undefeated Lord Brian who had challenged the experts of the Empire has appeared! "
"The Southern Border is in luck! The war at the Southern Border is about to take a turn for the better. Lord Brian is the Lord of Brettel City. Since he has appeared, the Iron Blood Legion of Brettel City should be arriving soon! "
"That's right, that's right. The Iron Blood Legion is the most powerful legion in the Empire apart from the Howling Legion! Moreover, the Iron Blood Legion hasn't suffered any casualties in the war. Their arrival this time will definitely bring hope to South Border City. Ha, we don't have to leave our hometown anymore. That's great, that's great! "
"… …"
Heated discussions reverberated around the city wall. Every soldier and civilian who heard of Han Shuo's arrival was brimming with excitement and joy.
"This hopelessly arrogant brat actually made so many soldiers and civilians feel at ease. Dammit, I wonder what those people will think if they see him being torn apart by the Empire of Orcs? That bastard who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, does he really think that he can turn the tide by himself and resolve the crisis that we haven't been able to resolve for two years? "Firenze lowered his voice and growled while looking at his daughter.
"Perhaps. In this world, nothing is absolute!" Fanny covered her mouth and laughed. Soon after, she shook Firenze's arm and said coquettishly, "Father, Brian has been delayed until now because of the Church of Light. Please don't blame him, okay?"
"Not good!" Firenze put on a stern face and furiously glared at Fanny. He scolded in a low voice, "Has this little bastard been driven crazy? Why didn't you stop him from taking such an audacious action? You little lass, why are you so insensible? "
Fanny snorted angrily after being reprimanded by Firenze. Knowing that he wouldn't believe her no matter what she said, she didn't bother to explain. She just looked at Han Shuo with sparkling eyes and waited for Han Shuo to make his move.
"Lord Brian, Lord Brian is actually charging towards the Empire of Orcs! Oh my god, has Lord Brian gone mad? That's an orc army of more than a hundred thousand! "
"What's going on? Why is Lord Brian so irrational? Oh my god, what should we do? "
When the soldiers and civilians outside the city wall finally discovered the purpose of Han Shuo's action, they started screaming one after another. The noise on the city wall became even louder and more chaotic.
"… …"
Just when everyone was either openly or secretly worried about Han Shuo, a bright light flashed across the horizon. All of a sudden, an enormous Bone Dragon broke through the sky. On top of the Bone Dragon was a disdainful Lord of Death.
Little Skull held a slender bone spur in his hand and silently issued a summoning call. As a lowgod who cultivated in the elemental energy of necromancy, Little Skull's control of necromancy energy had improved substantially.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, tens of thousands of undead creatures appeared in the sky amidst rays of light. Under Little Skull's majestic command, the undead creatures lined up neatly and methodically charged towards the Empire of Orcs.
Rays of light shot across the sky. The elemental energy of death was extremely dense. Under Little Skull's summon, those undead creatures rushed madly from the Netherworld without a care for their lives. In an instant, they had occupied several large areas!
