One man’s Chaldea
Page 18
The two men then hurried back to the city wall, stood on a high place and looked down.
Well, there were huge crowds of people and quite a complete set of siege equipment, and they had surrounded one side of the city wall, making it impossible to get in or out.
“Alas, my guards, it seems that there is no time to rest for the time being…”
Nero rubbed his head in pain.
“I’m actually not that tired right now. If it were just an ordinary soldier, it wouldn’t be much of a problem for me.”
With the physical fitness of a Servant, Lin Qi’s sustained combat capability is not much worse.
Moreover, since arriving at this singularity, Lin Qi had only assisted Nero in fighting Caligula, so the consumption was not great.
“Very good! That’s the mentality I want!”
Nero gave Lin Qi a thumbs up.
Lin Qi officially joined the war.
Lin Qi regretted it.
Standing on the city wall, Lin Qi had a numb look on his face. The runes he drew out of thin air looked like the scribbles he made when copying textbooks in his school days, which were somewhat abstract.
It was already dark, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, and twinkling stars were scattered across the bright night sky.
Who knows how long Lin Qi has been drawing repeated runes here?
From noon to afternoon.
From afternoon to evening.
And now…
Lin Qi never thought that he would feel sore hands just by drawing runes.
If I have the ability, I will never draw runes by hand again——
Lin Qi rubbed his slightly trembling hands, his face full of resentment.
Now Lin Qi also had the same doubt as Nero, that is, where did these soldiers come from, and why did they come in wave after wave with no sign of stopping.
Could it be refreshed from the ground?
If Lin Qi hadn’t seen the corpses scattered all over the place, he would have really thought so.
However, the enemy does not pile up soldiers meaninglessly, and sometimes uses skeleton soldiers to attack the city.
Lin Qi is very familiar with this thing. Even compared with ordinary soldiers, the strength of the skeleton soldiers is not much higher.
But the other type of soldiers is in a very difficult situation.
The clay puppets were obviously the work of magicians. They were made of rocks and each one was tall and sturdy.
They didn’t run up to attack normally, but stood far away from the enemy and threw rock cannons.
This thing is actually nothing to Lin Qi now, but it is not so good for the soldiers defending on the city wall. Solid rock cannons smashed down one by one, and any soldier who was hit would be either dead or injured.
This resulted in Lin Qi having to jump off the city wall from time to time and rush into the enemy’s battle formation to kill those puppets.
And so, another hour or two passed.
Looking at the enemy troops who were still running over to attack the city, Lin Qi finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
Lin Qi jumped down from the city wall and at the same time launched a summoning technique that he himself did not pay attention to.
A two-legged flying dragon appeared below, and Lin Qi just happened to ride on it.
The two-legged flying dragon that picked up the passenger flapped its wings repeatedly, and in a few seconds it carried Lin Qi high into the sky.
Lin Qi’s riding level is only enough to control a tamed mount. Theoretically, he is unable to drive a mount of the level of a wyvern.
But Lin Qi also inherited the [Dragon Slaying] skill from Siegfried. Even if his level is not high, it is still easy for him to kill a wyvern.
“I want to see if you are actually born from the ground!”
Lin Qi thought a little irritably, holding the farsighted Rune in his hand, and looked carefully at everything below.
“Haha, found it!”
Humans all need light, and in the pitch-black night, Lin Qi was at a high place.
The enemy’s barracks, filled with flames, were easy to spot without even looking carefully.
Oh, from afar, there are quite a few magicians making puppets!
Lin Qi rushed down without saying a word and burned down their barracks one by one.
If there is any magician born like this, all of them will be burned to death!
Although it sounds violent, these soldiers are indeed not refreshed. After such a long and protracted battle, there are not many left.
After resolving everything, Lin Qi rode the wyvern around the area twice, making sure there was no enemy force that could be formed before returning to Rome.
After jumping off the back of the flying dragon, Lin Qi stood steadily on the city wall.
By the way, he cancelled the summoning technique, whose principles he had no idea about, and let the wyvern return to where it was before it was summoned.
Lin Qi tidied up her clothes that were a little messy due to the wind. A soldier who looked familiar came over to greet her with surprise after seeing Lin Qi returning.
“Master Guard, luckily you came back in time. I have been looking for you for a long time!”
“Uh, are there more enemies coming?”
Lin Qi, who had been fighting for almost a day, asked subconsciously.
“Haha, you are joking, sir. With your help, the enemy has been completely repelled. We haven’t seen a large number of enemies for a long time.”
“…That’s good. It seems I did find the right person when I went out just now.”
Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief. This seemingly endless battle finally came to an end.
“Oh! So the guard just destroyed the enemy’s base camp? You are worthy of being called the lord. You always find the key to breaking the deadlock!”
The soldier understood Lin Qi’s meaning after a brief thought, and immediately looked at Lin Qi with admiration.
“The Romans love to praise others…”
Lin Qi felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
Maybe for Lin Qi he was just doing what he was supposed to do, but it was different for ordinary soldiers struggling on the battlefield.
During the time when Lin Qi joined in defending the city, the soldiers not only felt a lot more relaxed, but they also discovered surprisingly that even though the enemy’s offensive was many times stronger than usual, under Lin Qi’s seemingly airtight protection, only a few dozen soldiers were injured.
There was no casualty.
If Lin Qi went to inspect the military camp now, he would definitely receive a lot of admiring looks.
“It’s fine…By the way, you seem to be the one that His Majesty Nero said he would appoint as the intelligence officer?”
“Your Excellency’s memory is indeed excellent. Not long ago, His Majesty officially appointed me as the palace’s first battlefield intelligence officer!”
The intelligence officer smiled innocently.
“It’s really good…”
Lin Qi’s eyes were a little subtle. This Emperor Nero really liked to give people official positions.
“By the way, what are you looking for me for?”
Lin Qi shook off the random thoughts in his mind and brought the topic back on track.
“It’s nothing, really. I just asked you to go back and rest. The room has already been prepared. In fact, this is something that Your Majesty has urged several times.”
“It’s just that I didn’t feel comfortable disturbing you because I saw you were busy fighting the enemy.”
The intelligence officer said awkwardly.
When it comes to rest, a feeling of fatigue suddenly comes over me.
Really tired.
“Thank you for your hard work. Let’s go.”
Lin Qi didn’t say anything else, just signaled the intelligence officer to lead the way.
“okay!”
After walking a few steps, Lin Qi suddenly realized that someone seemed to be missing.
“By the way, where is Her Majesty Nero? Why can’t I see her?”
“Oh, about that. In the afternoon, His Majesty saw that you could easily deal with the enemy, so he went back to rest.”
“That’s it…”
“Well, please don’t mind this, sir. In fact, His Majesty Nero has already brought us back from the front line. He has been running around for several days and has had even less time to rest than us, so he went back to rest first.”
In order to prevent Lin Qi from misunderstanding, the intelligence officer hurriedly explained.
“…Do I look like someone who cares about this kind of thing…”
Just as Lin Qi said at the beginning, even if someone is a waste, as long as he is a partner who can fight together, Lin Qi will not despise him.
……
Oh my goodness! What are you doing? Is this the position I can stay in?
When I woke up, I found that this book was rising rapidly on the weekly click list. I even suspected that I was dreaming…
I am very grateful for the support of my fellow book friends, but my pressure suddenly exploded (covering my face)
As for some brothers suspecting that I will cut the books, I can understand that. After all, I have seen many novels that were on the click list suddenly disappear.
Let’s talk about this. I won’t cut up my books, but I do have a problem. I have a kind of perfectionist pursuit for my own books. Sometimes when I find that what I wrote is irrelevant, I can’t even read my own book and lose my enthusiasm for that book.
This sometimes results in me speeding up the plot like crazy – in the last book, I felt that I had written something abstract, so I hurriedly wrote a dozen chapters and finished it quickly.
The previous book was similar. When I finished writing the book about Big Big Wolf, I realized that it was pure YY writing, so I finished it in a hurry.
Anyway, as my writing experience increases, I always feel that what I wrote before was very abstract, so much so that I don’t even want to go back and read it again.
There were too many YYs in the book about Grey Wolf, and the character of the protagonist in the book that copied the servant was not a human being, so I had to force the development of the plot. After learning from the lesson, I wrote another book about re0, but the result was unsurprisingly a failure. It took me more than half a month to delete the book and repost it, but it only got more than a hundred collections, and I couldn’t even sign a contract.
I still didn’t believe it and went to Fanqie to post it. It was okay there and I got signed up. In about half a month, there were more than 7000 readers.
I actually didn’t have high hopes for this book. I thought that if it flopped, I would go to Fanqie and continue updating that one. If it didn’t work out, I would write a new one. Anyway, I still have two good ideas.
Who knew I would end up here?
At least we have to update the fight with Goetia that everyone wants to see.
To thank you for your support, I took some extra time today and wrote 4500 words.
Chapter 19 Dancing Under the Moon
It was still dark, with scattered stars dotted the night sky and a crescent moon casting cool moonlight.
The night scene is beautiful, and it would be even better if there wasn’t that large aperture that is much more conspicuous than the stars and the moon.
Lin Qi leaned on the balcony railing, looking at the sky silently.
Can’t sleep.
Although he was very tired, Lin Qi could feel his heart beating as if it was about to jump out of his chest as soon as he closed his eyes.
My heart was beating so fast that even breathing became a little difficult.
This is actually an old problem, maybe it’s anxiety?
It had been like this since he had inexplicably descended upon Chaldea.
Of course Lin Qi knew that this was bad for his health, and he tried to counsel himself, but it didn’t work at all, he was still the same.
“call……”
Lin Qi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the air in his chest.
Taking deeper breaths can barely suppress this inexplicable feeling.
“My guard, why are you still here so late? Aren’t you going to rest?”
Nero’s voice came from behind Lin Qi.
According to Nero, Lin Qi was her personal bodyguard, so he had to be very close to her, so Lin Qi’s resting place was arranged in the room next to Nero.
“Nothing, just a little sleepless…”
