Chapter 1213: Lucky to Have You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“After all this talk, your scheme has finally been exposed. So you’re planning to attack my old brothers?” Red Bear suddenly became vigilant.

“I want to save their lives!”

Mountain Dog extended his hand to his good brothers, who had been through life and death with him, and earnestly said, “Ask your people to follow me. I will bear all the blame. I don’t care what happens to me, but most of them will have a chance to survive!”

“In your dreams!”

Red Bear grinned coldly, revealing his thick, sharp canine teeth. “My brothers and I have been prepared to die without a burial place since the moment we set foot on this journey. Now, we just want to fulfill our oath!” he said resolutely.

“Everyone has their own aspirations. Mountain Dog, if you want to leave, I won’t keep you. However, you can’t take even half a mandrake fruit and half a weapon with you. The Saintess painstakingly worked all of this out together with our brothers. They are the Great Horn Army’s final hope!

“Leave behind food, swords, and armor. Take your men who are afraid of death and get lost. Also, go and tell that cunning Wolf King that there are thousands of brave men in the Great Horn Army like me, Red Bear, who would rather die than surrender. If he insists on making us bow our heads, then bring it on and cut off our heads with your own hands!”

“You…”

Red Bear was so angry that he narrowed his eyes.

“You know I can’t just leave like that. Your brothers are my brothers too. I simply can’t watch so many of them die!”

“Then stop talking nonsense!”

Red Bear waved his spiked club again, releasing a thunderous aura.

However, his roar was louder than ten thousand lightning balls exploding in the clouds at the same time. “Come on, Dog. Chop off my head and stomp on my chest. Then, do whatever you want!”

Shua!

As the furious sound waves spread out, a large amount of crimson substances that seemed like liquid metal spurted out of Red Bear’s thick, iron-brush mane. They quickly extended, spread, and wrapped every piece of the muscular man’s shell muscles, eventually building a battle fortress that resembled dozens of cannons.

Red Bear’s facial features were all covered by a mask that was as hard as iron.

He no longer revealed any of his emotions.

He had cut off all ties with his good brother from the past. Like an emotionless killing machine, he slowly raised his mace that was humming like a siege cannon.

Mountain Dog scrunched up his face as he looked at where the “siege cannon” was being pointed. The crystal tears at the corners of his eyes had frozen into sharp clusters of ice. He also let out a long howl and equipped layers upon layers of extremely gorgeous totem armor. He turned into an extremely dangerous bloodthirsty beast that looked like he had been cast out of bronze.

The two equally famous iron-blooded generals of the Great Horn Army had completely equipped their totem armor one after another. The intensity of their vitality magnetic fields suddenly increased by ten times. It was like two fierce tornadoes colliding with each other, and the shockwave that was like a raging wave caused everyone in the surroundings to close their eyes subconsciously. They still felt waves of needle-like pain coming from their faces. Even the air that they inhaled into their lungs seemed to have a strong smell of sulfur, and their lungs were on the verge of burning.

“What… What should we do?”

Even the elites of the White Bone Battalion, who had been through hundreds of battles and remained calm in the face of danger, never thought that they would have to face the deadly situation of fighting against their own comrades one day.

The loyal subordinates behind the two iron-blooded generals, Red Bear and Mountain Dog, were all so nervous that their mouths felt dry. All their bodily fluids had turned into thick, cold sweat that leaked out of their palms.

They really did not know what they should do when their generals started to stab each other with sharp swords.

Were they really going to raise their sabers, swords, and hammers at their comrades, who had fought by their yesterday and saved their lives, while eating mandrake in a pot?

On a side note, Leaf had joined the Great Horn Army after the serial explosions in Black-corner City. The new soldiers, who had been specially selected to join the White Bone Battalion because of their outstanding performances in the deadly battles, were even more bewildered and panicked.

Both Red Bear and Mountain Dog were heroes in their hearts. They were all experts who could fight ten clan warriors wearing totem armors head-on on the battlefield.

They were also the targets who aroused their passion and whom they wanted to emulate with their lives.

At the critical moment when illusions were popping up in front of their eyes, the order in their surroundings collapsed. Even the Ancient Dream Saintess was still alive.

The two iron-blooded warriors were the spiritual support of all the surviving elites of the White Bone Battalion, but the two giant pillars were going to kill each other now!

The new soldiers who had just joined the Great Horn Army, who had the largest number of soldiers, had no idea what they should do.

“What-What should we do?”

“General Mountain Dog and General Red Bear seem to make a lot of sense. Which side should we stand with?”

“Are we going to kill each other? No, no, this is too…”

Leaf and his comrades stared at each other. Deep in their trembling eyes, they saw pale faces, cold sweat, and twitching faces.

They were alert like frightened birds, as though their companions would turn into enemies at any moment and stab them from behind.

Who knew? When many of them had been in a deep sleep the night before, had they not all been terrorized to the point of a mental breakdown by the scene of the Zombie Rat God appearing in their nightmares? Had they not been like mad demons, biting and killing anyone they saw?

In the depths of the dense forest, screams and screams rose and fell one after another, adding fuel to the tense and explosive atmosphere.

No one knew how many living people who were still alive and breathing could survive until the next moment, or even the next blink of an eye.

“Reaper, Reaper, where the hell are you?!”

The rat boy had to grasp the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands, so as not to break the tip of the blade, crack it, or drop the light sword on the ground.

With a sad face, he cried weakly in his heart, “Please, hurry up and show yourself. I can’t go on alone in such an intense situation!”

Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss!

He did not know whether it was an illusion or not, but just as Leaf wailed in his mind, a disorderly noise suddenly rang in his ear.

This noise was different from the sound of insects in summer.

It did not sound like anything Leaf had ever heard in nature.

Leaf froze and shook his head vigorously, but the noise did not go away.

He extended his pinky and dug his ears hard, trying to get the hallucinations, which were caused by fear, out of his brain.

Right then, the noise abruptly became clear.

“Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Testing one, two, three, four, five, four, three, two, one. Leaf, can you hear my voice clearly?”

Leaf’s eyes widened. The muscles all over his body tightened, and he was about to jump up and down.

Fortunately, an experienced veteran beside him saw that the situation was not looking good and held him down. He used his eyes to point at the two iron-blooded generals who were confronting each other not far away. Then, he scolded him, “B*stard, do you not want to live anymore?”

Leaf panted heavily. He only felt sweat like rain. All the strength in his body seeped out from his thirty-six thousand pores.

He could not even stand steadily. He could only slowly squat down and lay the broken knife on his knees. He let go of his hands and closed his ears.

The sound did not seem to come from the outside world.

It would not make any difference if he could not close his ears.

Instead, a numbness that felt like crawling ants seeped directly from the top of his head to the depths of his brain, making the voice sound increasingly clear.

“Leaf, I’m the Reaper. Please reply when you receive this. No, no, no, don’t say anything. Just pay attention and head southeast. Try your best to imagine what I look like, and then silently say ‘one, two, three, four, five, four, three, two, one’ in your heart. Do you know where southeast is?”

Leaf had grown up in the forest since he was a child, so naturally, he could distinguish between north, south, east, and west.

He looked around guiltily and found that his companions were still looking as if they were facing a great enemy. They were still trembling in fear, including the two iron-blooded generals. They were still at daggers drawn, as if they were the only ones.., no one could hear the Reaper’s voice.

Such a thing was really unbelievable.

However, it did not seem so hard to accept that it had happened to the Reaper, who possessed great powers.

Leaf took a deep breath and repeatedly told himself that he had to calm down.

Since the Reaper didn’t abandon him, there must be a way to turn the tide and counterattack, right?

“One, one, two, three, four, five, four, three, two, one.”

Leaf faced the southeast direction and closed his eyes. He silently meditated on the Reaper’s appearance in his mind and recited it with all his heart.

The other side was silent for a while.

The noise in Leaf’s mind was sometimes loud and sometimes soft, sometimes collected and sometimes dispersing.

The ant-crawling numbness that he felt on top of his head also spread out like circles of ripples. It itched so much that Leaf could not stop himself from scratching.

“Hold it in. I’m trying to use different brainwave frequencies to make the connection between our minds more stable… Now, has my voice become clearer?”

The Reaper’s voice came again.

Indeed, it was much clearer.

Earlier, the voice sounded like it had come from the depths of a winding cave, with a dull echo and background noise. Every word was stuck together.

Now, it was as if two people were talking face to face, and they could hear each other clearly.

Moreover, with the clarity of the voice, Leaf seemed to really see the Reaper smiling and appearing before his eyes.

It was definitely not an illusion because Leaf could see that the Reaper’s lips were moving!

The frequency of the movement was just right to match his voice, but there was only a slight delay.

“Say it again now.”

Leaf noticed that the Reaper’s lips were quivering. “One, two, three, four, five, four, three, two, one.”

The rat teenager listened to him.

This time, even he felt that his “voice” had become much clearer. It shot out like an invisible arrow from the top of his head.

“Thank God!”

The Reaper before him heaved a long sigh of relief.. “I finally succeeded. Thankfully, I still have you!”
