Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1561: Chapter 139: Who Is She?

”Baldy, do you think... the Elder, can...” Snow Cloud Peak tentatively asked.

”Heh~ Who doesn’t want the Holy Light Lady?” Perfect Bald interrupted with a sneer, ”Don’t bother even thinking about it.

I wouldn’t dare to approach her to talk.

If we’re at a disadvantage and need her to fight to save us, she might turn into a pure healer, then switch back after the battle.

Just costs a bit of money, which she doesn’t care about.

But now? When she wants to personally smash people?

I definitely wouldn’t willingly ask for a scolding, if you want to say it, you go ahead.”

”I think you’re overthinking it... Can’t you see the two blessings Little Cotton Jacket gave?” Lu Huayu looked at Snow Cloud Peak in surprise, ”Isn’t it just because her mana bar isn’t sufficient that Edna sacrificed other specialities to specifically enhance the reduction of mana consumption?

Then thoughtfully added spell-casting time... even considering the Old Age Striking King needing a stamina blessing midway through a fight.

Tsk~ The more I talk, the more acid my teeth feel!

If this were given to me... I could fight a thousand by myself!

Sigh... really...

Old Dog, what bewitched you to ask such a question?”

”Ah... doesn’t everyone have a dream of standing unyielding amid a crowd of thousands?” Snow Cloud Peak said wistfully.

”Seems like you already have a plan,” Perfect Bald twitched at the corner of his mouth, ”You’re even joking now!”

”Although various issues keep arising, they are still within my expectations, just a bit more effort.” Snow Cloud Peak smiled gently, ”Moreover, the Elder joining the frontline battle sooner is better.

I didn’t expect it to be so much faster than I anticipated.

That gives me a bit more time... but, her reputation is probably the loudest on our side.

Eden must be paying close attention to her.

How’s Cunlü doing?”

”Didn’t you tell Hard Wind to arrive an hour later?

He just came in, and coincidentally Cunlü leveled up to level 3 with the Elder, and is training him now!” Perfect Bald smirked, ”There’s no cooldown time during a new player’s resurrection period; the Elder just charged up the mountains with a group of level 3 warriors, likely turning over people everywhere. I guess, if we keep fighting like this, she should be able to reach the seawall in another hour.”

”Ah... that’s why I said! Whether they are dumb or have some calculation, allowing these people into the leveling field is most beneficial for us.”

His eyes rolled: ”Road Eunuch, ask Zhu Meili what Ellie is doing now?”

”No need to ask, she already called Zhu Meili and the others to make clothes with a more Elf Wind style.” Lu Huayu said without lifting his head, ”You know, it’s the style that elves wear for night banquets.”

”Ah, looks like this young lady already has a deep impression of Cunlü!

Hmm... What exactly did Hill do to make Ellie so sure of his partiality to Cunlü?

Wasn’t it just giving her the Duchess?

Wasn’t Cunlü chosen by the Duchess herself?

Strange... women’s hearts are really hard to fathom.” Snow Cloud Peak shook his head, ”Baldy, go tell Cunlü and Hard Wind to flaunt their affection, flaunt it until the onlookers want to vomit... isn’t that their specialty!

Show the entire Alliance their nauseating prowess!”

”Hmm?” Perfect Bald blinked in surprise, ”Aren’t you using Cunlü as a target? How can this be... huh?”

”Think about it! They’re gossiping about Cunlü behind her back in front of Ellie, with Ellie’s obvious attitude, could it be hidden from my ears and eyes?” Snow Cloud Peak scoffed, ”If I act too abnormal, they’ll start wondering if I knew this all along.

That wouldn’t be good.

I have confidence in my reputation... They likely don’t have as much faith in their abilities.

So, I must act like I just found out about this today.

Then, the simplest and most direct response is letting that real couple interact as a real couple?

That way, Ellie’s reason for nitpicking loses ground.”

”I don’t get it,” Perfect Bald blinked, ”If it’s groundless, why would she still look for... why?”

”Haha~ I may not understand a woman’s heart, but I know how jealousy can make people become so extreme.”

Snow Cloud Peak turned to look at the castle on the southern mountains, ”Ellie, since you already met Cunlü and got a deep impression, then... she will inevitably believe the explanation from Eden: for example, we only came up with a solution after discovering this.

That, Cunlü and Hard Wind with their habitual exaggeration, is the best reason for her not to believe.

As long as she can convince herself, she won’t show any hesitation... After all, she wants to eliminate the original form she’s mimicking and keep it far away from Hill’s sight.

Tsk~

No matter the world, the purpose of a copy is always to eliminate the original, isn’t it?”

”Although I still find it incredible,” Perfect Bald tapped his tablet cheerfully, ”But it’s okay, as long as I listen to you.

Ah... the Elder said after killing two more waves, she can reach level 5.”

She asked me if I wanted to take those warriors who were a bit less experienced than her to level 5 first.

Hmm... as expected, no one dares to fight her for kills.”

”Hmm?” Hill glanced at his tablet to check the time, ”In half an hour, it will be time for Ditte to take people to patrol under the long embankment... Lind is still with him, right?”

”Yes.” Lu Huayu looked up and answered, ”He’s sitting on Battlefield Lightening’s cow’s back!”

Hill sighed, ”Thunder... I already told him to stay silent and let Sui Chen do the talking as much as possible.

There shouldn’t be any problems.

Forget it, let’s talk about Elder.

Baldy, let’s give Elder a glorious and brilliant entrance in front of those two brothers!”

”The Queen returning or the Princess setting out?” Perfect Bald turned to ask, ”Elder... although she’s still in a cute style, she’s already a pure maiden!”

Hill immediately understood his implicit investigation: ”We just need to show our strength and clear ourselves of any undue responsibility!

I’m not interested in using a companion’s beauty as a bargaining chip.

No matter how much planning was done earlier, when it comes to doing the real work, we must act directly.”

Perfect Bald nodded with a smile, ”I’ll go pick up Sanda King and them, for the entrance design~ she’ll think of it herself.”

Avoiding the Undead Tribe Camp with the Knight Corps, Ditte looked at the long embankment in the front, still somewhat apprehensive at heart: although using Lind’s confusion to separate Ellie from the Stelter Family, he really didn’t know if the Undead Tribe would retaliate if Ellie went too far.

Even with their friendship with Battlefield Lightening, their family wouldn’t lose their lives... but, the family had struggled up to this point, paying countless costs to achieve today’s success, he truly didn’t want to lose it.

Especially for such a ridiculous reason.

Ditte didn’t even have time to grieve for his sister... how could he not be heartbroken?

He cherished his brother and sister dearly.

However, he really didn’t understand, did Ellie really not realize she no longer resembled a human?

She abandoned the family, yet still wanted it to back her in offending the powerful Undead Tribe... Ditte was almost uncertain if the soul inside Ellie’s shell was still her sister!

Ellie had many little thoughts like a girl, but, clearly, she wasn’t such a selfish and extreme person!

”Brother Ditte.” Lind, sitting cross-legged on the wide back of the cow with Battlefield Lightening, finally laid out his thoughts, ”Can Ellie return to her original form?”

”Elemental assimilation is irreversible.” Ditte answered in a gloomy tone.

”You know what I am asking.” Lind said softly, ”It’s okay to become cold-hearted, but, this is almost a complete transformation into another person.

I previously thought she was deceived, but if she chose it willingly... then it surely isn’t Ellie!”

”I thought you disliked her!”

”Therefore, in the family, only I understand her the most... could you not avoid answering my question?”

”Lind.” Ditte pulled the reins and drove his horse next to him, ”This is a question even the Deities may not know, I can’t answer you.

All we can do is first protect ourselves... allow the family to survive, that’s our mission.

No matter how painful, how sorrowful... don’t show it.

If you can’t manage that, don’t appear before Ellie.”

”Do we have to tolerate her existence?”

”It’s the decision of the tiny Stelter Family... hmm?”

A peculiar and resonant horn sound exploded in their ears, forcing Ditte, Lind, and the members of the Knight Corps to look towards the top of the embankment.

A figure like a small giant was standing there blowing a meter-long ox horn.

It seemed that some of the Undead Tribe families were initiating a full counterattack, or aiming at the ocean... apparently, the Undead Tribe was targeting those transport ships that didn’t dare to anchor within 20 meters of the embankment.

Scarlet’s few ships noticed something amiss and hastened to turn around.

”Ah! So cool!” Ditte gaped, watching the small figure being hurled toward one of the slowest-moving ships by a tall knight.

Her platinum waist-length hair cascaded like a waterfall, a golden crown pinned to the right side, wearing a short red gown... her upper body resembling a uniform, with a red and white sash tied into a cute bow at the waist. The fluffy short skirt was hard to tell how many layers it had, stretching and bouncing mid-air with her vigorous movements.

However, those small feet clad in white long boots mercilessly snapped the tall mast.

The sheer force sent chills down Ditte’s spine.

Even as the mast toppled towards the deck, her cute, innocent face remained unchanged, lips barely moving.

”Ahhhhhhhh!”

The Moon Clan people on the ship, who hadn’t left in time, were shouting who knows what... but the sight of them running chaotically and ramming into the cabin was understandable.

”Blindness, confusion, fright...” Ditte clicked his tongue in amazement, ”And capable of instant casting them together?

Thunder, who is she?

How can she be this powerful?”
