Episode 9: Fame Shakes the Heavens Chapter 43: Corpses
To live, you must see a person, and to die, you must see a corpse!
Linley also realized from Yale that Reno’s corpse had actually been taken away by the enemy. This time, no matter what, he must bring back his brother’s corpse. But before that, Linley had to make a trip to Nier City first. After all, the guards of Nier City should know the most about what happened to Reno that day.
“Boss, don’t be too sad.” Bebe whispered.
Linley looked at the boundless heavens and earth in the distance, turned his head to glance at Bebe, and tried to squeeze out a smile, “Bebe, I’ll be fine.” But the Dragonblood Warrior-turned Linley’s face was hard to see an expression on, just the corners of his mouth could be seen curling up.
After flying for a while, the distant Nier City came into view.
“Arrived.” The temperature around Linley seemed to have dropped a level all of a sudden.
Dozens of miles outside of Nier City, a large army of the O’Brien Empire was being stationed. Ten miles away on the opposite side, there was also a large army of the Luo and Ao Empires stationed, the armies of the two countries facing each other.
With Prince Yulin’s departure, the Golden Flame Legion quickly launched their retaliation for Reno’s matter. And the Luo Ao Empire that had prepared for this naturally wouldn’t bow down, the two legions, after a few fights and tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, were also temporarily pausing at this moment. Ready for the next attack.
At this moment, the Neil City citadel is the defenders are still quite relaxed. After all, there were tens of thousands of troops ahead.
“Hey, that what’s-his-name Prince is really a wimp, letting people hit the bottom of the city and not even allowing us to go out.” A few resting defenders huddled together inside the attic of the city wall. Casually gossiping.
“It’s just a pity that Senior Captain Reno died so unjustly, even his body was gotten away by the enemy.”
The Golden Flame Legion, that was an absolute elite legion. What happened in Nier City last time was definitely a shame for the entire Golden Flame Legion. However, the officers who were on the citadel at that time didn’t dare to rebel against Prince Yulin.
“Who are you!” Only one after another of terrified roars could be heard resounding from outside. The defenders on the city walls who were resting in one of the small attics came out, but when they saw the Dragon Blood Warrior Transformation that stood in the air, surrounded by greenish-black clouds, each of them trembled in shock.
They were elite warriors, elite warriors who struggled between life and death.
However, when they saw a strong man standing in the air appear, they all understood that the monster in front of them was a Saint Domain level powerhouse. They, the soldiers, were powerless to resist at all.
“You, are you Master Linley?” Suddenly an officer whispered.
The eyes of the elite warriors around them all lit up, Linley’s transformed appearance had long since spread, and those elite warriors looked closely at Linley’s appearance in the clouds and mist. The ground did indeed resemble the legends.
“It’s me.” A low voice emanated from the roiling greenish-black clouds and mist.
Master Linley, magical genius, stone sculptor, peak Saint realm powerhouse. The pride of the entire O’Brien Empire …… Countless people in the Empire worshipped Linley. Knowing that the monster on the ground in front of them was Linley. Instead, the elite warriors in the surroundings felt that Linley’s transformation was very fierce, very manly.
This was the bravest warrior of all.
“If Master Linley has anything to say, just ask.” The officer said hurriedly.
“Some time ago, you had a patrol brigade that was hunted down by the Luo Ao Empire, all the way to the city walls, and the brigadier who died in battle at the time, wasn’t his name Reynolds.” Linley’s voice was hoarse.
The officer spoke out, “Yes, Master Linley.”
The surrounding soldiers all felt a sense of shame, the shame of this section of the Golden Flame Legion. Surprisingly, even Master Linley knew about it. All of them soldiers felt embarrassed.
“Where’s Reno’s corpse?” Linley asked after him.
“Master Linley. Lord Reno’s corpse, it was taken away by the enemy.” That officer’s face was a little green, he was truly embarrassed. Three hundred people. Surprisingly, under their noses, not only did they kill Reynold’s band, they also took away Reynold’s corpse.
Linley asked, “Who’s here, was there anyone who saw the original scene with their own eyes?”
Quite a few people looked at each other, these people had only heard about Reynolds, the brigade that was guarding the city walls and saw the scene with their own eyes had long since been punished and had gone directly to the front lines to fight the enemy.
Linley frowned when he saw the expressions on these people’s faces.
“I… I saw it at the time.” An old voice came from behind, and the surrounding military people all moved aside as an old man in a gorgeous robe walked over, this old man, none other than the City Lord of Nier City.
“Lord City Lord!” The surrounding military people all saluted.
This Neil City Lord looked at Linley, who was surrounded by greenish-black clouds, and sighed in his heart. For him to be the city lord of a border city like Nier City, was he not the type of person who was weak? At that time, he had accompanied Prince Yulin, and when he saw that Reno and the others were being chased, he had immediately ordered people to save them.
But at that time, Prince Yulin’s attitude was clearly labeled as not allowing anyone to go out. To hold fast! The Lord of Nier City was old and had his own son and grandson, he didn’t dare to disobey Prince Yulin’s orders.
“You are the city lord of Neil City? Fine, the scene when Reno was killed and taken away, you give me a clear explanation.” Linley said indifferently.
The Nier City Lord nodded and said, “When Reno and the others fled over, they were all injured, and Reno still had an arrow in his shoulder. When they arrived under the city wall, a dozen or so of the enemy’s experts rushed over, ignoring the defenders’ arrows and directly slaughtered Reno and the others. Reno was then slashed and hacked to death in the chest and stomach area, and afterward was carried on the back of that enemy leader and directly taken away.”
Linley nodded secretly in his heart.
The news that the Dawson Chamber of Commerce had probed was true.
“Enemy leader? Do you know where he is?” Linley looked at this Neil City Lord, “Reno’s corpse, I must find it.”
The Neil City Lord nodded, “Right now, the Luo Ao Empire army is facing off against my imperial legions, just dozens of miles outside of Neil City, and that enemy leader, I’m sure, is among them as well. By the way …… that enemy leader, should be a rank eight warrior strength.”
“Oh. ……”
Linley turned his head to look to the south. The bloody aura of the southern ground Linley could clearly feel. The bloody scent of tens of thousands of people killing and dying, that’s how thick it was!
“Bebe, let’s go.”
“Boom!” A terrifying airburst sounded, and Linley and Bebe’s one-man beast instantly cut through the sky to a place extremely far away in the southern sky. Seeing this scene, the city lord of Nier City had a hint of excitement on his face, “Those Luo Ao Empire bastards, they seem to be out of luck.”
Neil City’s City Lord. Immediately descended the city walls. Immediately leading a squad out of Nier City, he set off for the Golden Flame Legion army.
The two empire’s ground legions were facing each other, and in the battlefield in the center, many soldiers were carrying the corpses of their own side’s warriors, and at this time, the two legions had consciously made a truce.
The corpses everywhere were being carried away one by one. And that dark red earth was dyed even redder by blood, and that bloody scent attracted many insects to gather over.
In the Luo Ao Empire’s military camp, the high spreading military flag was hunted by the wind, and a team was patrolling in the military camp. Just at this time, a greenish-black cloud appeared in the sky above the Luo Ao Empire’s military camp.
“No?” Linley’s spiritual energy instantly covered the entire military camp, but Linley didn’t find Reynoldi’s body at all.
Grand Captain Hooker was in his tent, gulping down a strong drink. Painfully happy. Hooker believed. After this war was over, he would definitely be promoted.
“I guess I’ll be a deputy division commander at the very least.” Hooker said in his heart.
But just at this time, a terrifying force unexpectedly blew apart the sturdy tent directly, Hooker was alarmed, “What’s wrong? Has the enemy broken the camp?” Thinking in his mind, Hooker also rushed out, but as soon as he came out, he felt the howling wind, and he even went so far as to feel his body unsteady.
Looking around, Hooker’s face turned white. He only saw countless terrifying air waves sweeping across the entire Luo Empire military camp. The soldiers struggled to stand still.
After a moment, the gale disappeared.
“All the officers of the Luo Ao Empire gather at the open space in the center, quick.” An indifferent voice rang out from high above. Everyone tilted their heads to look at the source of the voice, which was the greenish-black cloud that kept on prancing around and diffusing, and inside the cloud, there was a terrifying monster’s shadow that was blurring.
“I am Legionnaire Shasta of the Lite Legion of the Luo Ao Empire, may I ask the esteemed powerhouse, what are you here for?” Legionnaire Shasta said respectfully.
From the energy that the other party had exerted just now, Shasta had already understood that this terrifyingly strong person possessed the strength of one person to sweep across the entire legion.
The greenish-black cloud closed in and leaned against the surface of his body, and everyone below had a clear view of Linley’s appearance.
“Monster!”
“Demon!”
Many soldiers let out low cries of terror as Linley’s body landed heavily, the ground shook and cracked. Linley’s Earth Dragon tail swung gently, plowing a deep furrow into the ground.
“Dare I ask, esteemed powerhouse, are you Master Linley?” Shasta said respectfully.
Linley glanced at this Shasta, worthy of being a legionnaire, he was indeed very knowledgeable. As Linley’s reputation grew, his transformed appearance spread.
“It’s me.” Linley said indifferently.
A suppressed gasp immediately rang out from the countless soldiers around them, they had all heard of Linley’s strength, but Linley was on the O’Brien Empire’s side. Right now they were fighting the O’Brien Empire.
“Master Linley, do you want to go against the rules of war, you being a Saint Realm powerhouse, you want to participate in the war as well?” Shasta said without humbling himself. When two empires fought, unless it came down to a fight to the death, Saint realm powerhouses were generally not allowed to participate in the battle.
Linley gave him a cold look, “I hate it when people threaten me.”
Shasta immediately didn’t dare to say anything, if Linley went crazy and really killed the entire barracks. He really wouldn’t be able to ……
“Say, some time ago, who was the leader of the team of three hundred people that you sent to sneak up on and chase a squad from the O’Brien Empire to the bottom of Nier City?” Linley said indifferently.
At the mention of this matter, almost all of the surrounding soldiers looked at Hooker, who was not far away.
Hooker’s body trembled.
Without the need for anyone else to answer, Linley also looked at Hooker, who immediately said respectfully, “Master Linley, some time ago, I did indeed lead my men and horses to hunt down a large group and ultimately wiped them out. “Wiped out all of them?” Hearing this sentence, Linley’s eye muscles twitched.
Linley looked at this Hooker, his icy gaze causing Hooker to feel as if he was plunged into an icy sky, “I heard that not only did you guys kill everyone in that brigade, but you also took away that brigade leader’s corpse.”
“Yes.” A look of pride appeared on Hooker’s face, in Hooker’s opinion, this was one thing he should be proud of.
Linley’s heart trembled.
The man in front of him had admitted it, but there was no Reynold’s body in the barracks, could it be that Reynold’s body had already been destroyed? Thinking of this, Linley’s heart grew increasingly anxious and angry.
With a single movement of his figure, Linley arrived in front of Hooker.
“Ah.” Before Hooker could escape, Linley reached out with one arm, and his strong, powerful right hand grabbed Hooker’s throat, suspending him.
Linley’s dark golden eyes stared at Hooker in death, “Do you know that that brigadier, named Reno, he’s my Linley’s life and death brother!” Linley gritted his teeth.
The surrounding soldiers completely understood why Linley had done this.
Hooker also had a look of shock in his eyes, and at the same time, he also felt the strength of Linley’s grip on his throat become stronger, Hooker’s face rose red, his mouth running through a mouthful of fighting air as he struggled to say, ”No, that, that Reynolds, he, he’s not dead ah.” Linley was stunned.
With a loose hand, Hooker’s entire body fell to the ground, and Hooker immediately covered his throat and coughed over there!
