BXBX NOVEL Chapter 835 - Besieged But Not Worried
Chapter 835
(Unedited)
…
After feeding the people inside the bandit\'s cave and helping them recover from their illness, Shin Jiao and Yemei Yin wanted to leave. They have done everything to help and now are going to report everything to the village so that they could take care of the people and capture those bandits which Shin Jiao has imprisoned.
As the two were leaving a scrawny hunchback woman walks called to them.
"Wait… Please wait…"
Shin Jiao looks at the scrawny hunchback woman. His eyes scanned his face and showed a faint smile.
This is because, although the woman is a hunchback, her face is actually beautiful. She is just covering it with some sort of makeup. It was a good disguise to fool people. He actually understood why this woman did this. Her body might not be attractive to anyone but her face would.
Though her body is disfigured, she can still be considered a beauty. And in this bandit den, there are many bandits with weird fetish, so doing such a thing could protect herself from any of them.
"Umm… Thank you for helping us." the hunchback woman said in a beautiful voice.
"I… I have a request, if you can do it, then I will reward you handsomely…"
"Hmmm… Tell me your request first." Shin Jiao said with a frown.
From the tone and the demeanor of this woman, she seems to be of noble birth. So he feels that this woman may have some status.
"I am Viscount Lanis Merl\'s daughter, Olivia Anis Merl… I was kidnapped 2 months ago. I think my father is worried about me and is searching for my whereabouts." She said.
When Yemei Yin heard these words, her expression changed. She knew of this matter and it was really a big case in Main Arjing City. The Viscount was totally enraged by this matter and immediately did the investigation.
However, they did not know which bandit group took his daughter. Then after almost a month of investigation, they finally learned that it was the Bandits of the West. After hearing that, it is said that the Viscount has sent a large army to attack those bandits.
"Lady Olivia, I think your father has sent the army to try and rescue you. I am glad that you are alright." Yemei Yin said while bowing.
"It is alright… and thank you for helping us. There are many of us in here that are still too weak. I hope that you guys would help us further." She said with a begging tone.
For a noblewoman, it seems that she is humble. She did not take her circumstance and became domineering and evil. Some people would do such a thing especially when they are deformed just like her. Some people would not only have a deformed body but also a twisted mind.
This is because of bad experiences which can cause them some trauma and would view every person as bad.
"Sorry miss… I have to return to my group, I will send for the army in this place after coming back..." Shin Jiao said as he turns around.
"Umm… Wait… Can… Can you take me with you?" she said with a pleading gaze.
Then her eyes would shift to the back.
Shin Jiao now noticed that there are a few men standing not too far from her. Their eyes have a look of greed on them though they are trying to hide it. However, Shin Jiao still saw through them.
With a wave of his hand, one of the men was suddenly grabbed and floated in the air towards Shin Jiao.
"What is happening here?" Shin Jiao said in a cold tone.
The men were thoroughly afraid now. Who would have thought that this man would be this powerful? And no one expected this to happen.
"Sir… Sir… we… I…" the man struggled and wanted to explain, but when he meets Shin Jiao\'s eyes his heart skipped a beat and fear immediately envelopes his whole being.
"Don\'t tell any lies… I will not hesitate to kill you."
With the threat, the man immediately spills the beans. These men discovered that the hunchback woman is actually the Viscount\'s daughter. So they plan to subdue her and then send her back to her father unconscious. That way they could get the reward set by the Viscount.
Upon learning this, Shin Jiao sneered at the guy and just throw him to his companions. The strength of this throw was not normal and caused those people to break some of their bones.
He is not worried that those people would die as the array he sets up has a slow-acting regenerative effect, they would live and suffer through the healing process.
He took the daughter of the viscount and left the hidden cave with Yemei Yin.
The three of them traversed the forest as if they are flying atop the trees. Olivia is being carried by Shin Jiao while he is holding Yemei Yin\'s hand. The two women are afraid at first. The speed they are going through the forest is about 100 kph. For the people in this world, this is already fast enough. Most of the steeds in this world could travel only at around 50 to 80 kph and traveling at around 100 kph is already really fast for them.
Soon the two women began to enjoy the feeling of flying through the trees.
…
Meanwhile, the flying ship is already surrounded by 20,000 soldiers. In front of the soldiers stood the two generals who are sitting atop their war steeds while looking at the flying ship with a hint of curiosity and amazement in their eyes.
"This thing… Can it really fly?" General Faosei Lao asked in a low voice.
"Yes… If we can get this thing, then you can get great merit…" Xentong Han said with a hint of enticing in his tone.
The old general creased his brows and thought. He did not know what kind of power these people have and their background, but he is a stubborn man. He would do what he wanted to do and ask a question later… that is the motto that he has lived by for many years and so far it worked for him.
"Surrender now in the name of Xinglo Kingdom or suffer the consequences!" shouted the old general.
"Hahaha… You and your motley crew should just leave. Do you think you can hurt us with your pitiful powers? Dream on!" shouted a sharp woman\'s voice from the deck of the ship.
Vilma Song has been very domineering for her entire life, so how could she back down from those threats from the old man. Since coming to this world, she has learned that people get old and die. In the immortal land, there are no old people. Everyone in that place looks like they are all in their twenties, so knowing such a thing is new for her.
And knowing that a supposed to be a weak old man is trying to threaten them made her look down on the old man.
Plus she knew that the flying ship has a very strong protective barrier, so how could she fear these people?
Hearing the mocking reply by the blonde-haired woman, the old general was immediately enraged.
He lifted his hand in the air and shouted.
"All mages, prepare matrix combined spell! Break the barrier of this thing!"
With his command, the mages in the army began to form groups of five. Then they began chanting some spells which quickly illuminate their surroundings with pale bluish light.
"Begin bombardment!"
With the second command, the groups of mages suddenly finished their casting. Then a large array floated above their heads and an intense light appear.
There are many groups of mages in the army and now there are many bright lights which suddenly shoot laser-like beam towards the ship.
Boom!
A loud explosion reverberated through the air which kicks off a thick layer of a dust cloud.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The bombardments of the laser-like beams continue hitting the ship\'s barrier. The energy from those beams is truly terrifying in that it causes the barrier to dim a little bit.
From the deck, a mage suddenly ran towards Nariz Gumal and the rest who are watching this scene.
"Mam… the shield\'s energy is down by 20%." The mage said with a worried expression.
"Hmmm… It seems that their strength is comparable to a peak Archmage level. This is bad… All mages prepare to counter-attack!" shouted Nariz Gumal upon assessing the situation.
Without Shin Jiao in the ship, she was the second-highest in command beside Im Jae and Im Ao. But in this battle, she is the one who has the authority, so her words were immediately followed by everyone.
The mages all stood at the ready exchanging their Spear Staff to their Rifle Staff.
"Don\'t hold back! Fire at will! Fire at will!" Nariz Gumal shouted.
Everyone on the deck immediately shoots out their weapons. They would not just sit still and suffer from their enemy\'s attack.. They only have one thought and that is to preserve their lives at all cost.
