Chapter 575 Bloody Holy Domain
After hastily helping Luo Lin down the mountain, the NPCs left, taking a large number of elite warriors with them. They left the battle situation to Frost and Su Ke.
……
“That’s not right…” I furrowed my brows, puzzled.
Qing Qian was stunned, “What’s not right?”
I replied, “Something just doesn’t feel right. Why would Luo Lin choose to go to Hunters Valley at this time. It’s clear that he’s going after Despair…. After suffering that kind of shame over and over again he’s about to snap. Luo Lin’s dream ever since he was a child has been shaken and swayed time and time again. I suspect that for the sake of obtaining a greater power, Luo Lin will do something unreasonable. Wan Er, what do you think?”
The beautiful little miss bit her lip and then tugged on my hand, “Don’t say any more. Pig, you, Qing Qian and I should go down to Hunters Valley to check it out!”
“Ok!”
I handed the command of battle to Li Mu and Matcha and the three of us hurried down the blood spattered path to the city.
……
The Hunters Valley was on the border of Firestone Canyon and was less than a kilometer away from Dragon City. On the way, we saw injured soldiers from Ba Huang City struggling down the path. In addition, there were a number of soldiers pushing crossbow carts and blades up to the city. Below the city, there was a group of Purple Star elites congregating. Luo Lin didn’t even have the chance to heal his injuries. He just changed his armor and rode on a battle horse. Under his command, the army charged towards the Hunter’s Valley.
“Sha sha….”
I took the two beautiful Vice Guild Master’s into the forest. The two girls used [Stealth] while I hid in the grass with [Camouflage]. We followed them all along the path to Hunters Valley. On the valley’s floor, everywhere we looked there were injured soldiers crying out in pain. This battle had affected Ba Huang City too harshly.
At the center of the main area, a broken flag rested on the shoulder of a general covered in blood. Right nearby there was a simple and crude tent. Luo Lei leaned against Despair and sat on the ground, tired and weary. There wasn’t a sliver of the kingly presence he displayed before. The Desolate Dragon Commander Forgotten Sea was nursing his shoulder where his arm got cut off. He leaned against a tree and received a healing spell from one of the Saint Healers.
“Your highness….”
Forgotten Sea muttered in grief, “Will Ba Huang City be unable to escape this catastrophe? How about, we go to the Tian Ling empire and ask for help? Once the Tian Ling Empire sends out their masters, then we’ll be able to guard Dragon City. As long as Dragon City exists, then our Northern Gates will never have to open, and these Hybrid Demons won’t be able to cross over the Ice Ridge Mountains.”
Luo Lei shook his head, “No, my whole life I have never bowed my head to that old geezer Rob. Besides, he’s probably holding a grudge against me over that past battle. Against me and against Ba Huang City. I will never bow my head to the Tian Lin Empire, or else Ba Huang City will only become a servant to the Tian Lin Empire. I won’t do anything that brings shame to our ancestors.”
Forgotten Sea tightened his grip, “But your highness. We’ve already obtained Despair. Lin Han won’t forgive us! Plus… this Despair…. It’s a double edged sword. You can probably tell too, the Prince finds the sword extremely important and desires it.”
“Is that so?”
