Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 916 Wars Everywhere

When Hana was in a state of anxiety, Ying and Paimon went to the wilderness.

Based on the battle report issued by the command center, the two arrived at the location in need of support in a hot air balloon.

Upon seeing Ying arrive in a hot air balloon, the Nata warriors, who were battling the monsters, immediately became excited.

The one leading them, named Dargo, shouted, "Great! Someone's come to our aid!"

Without saying a word, Ying jumped out of the hot air balloon before it even landed.

A dashing hero landed, and Ying, carrying Slinger, charged forward.

Forget everything else, just kill the monster first.

Ying had only one thought in her mind. Unlike the helplessness and despair she felt in the face of disaster in the original story, Ying was not particularly nervous at this moment.

Because she knew very well that the current suffering was only temporary, and she simply couldn't imagine what kind of enemy would leave Saffir unable to find a solution.

This time, she called for a great deal of support to come to Nata, which gave Ying an unparalleled sense of security.

"Do your job well, and then... win." The Slinger in Ying's hand shone brightly.

He swung his sword, unleashing a burst of silvery-white lightning. Then, he swung it again, and a purple magatama appeared, once more stirring up thunder.

Lightning flashed across the entire battlefield, as if a natural disaster had struck. The vast army of abyssal demons paused for a moment; weren't they... here to kill?

This looks like they're here to undergo tribulation? Wait a minute? Did we wander into the wrong movie set? This isn't a cultivation world!

But there was no time for them to think anymore; even the mighty Fire Axe Hilichurls seemed so weak and powerless in the face of the rain of lightning.

Ying's eyes held only fighting spirit, not pity. She coldly swung her sword, using lightning to cleanse the world, blasting all the abyssal demons to smithereens and completely annihilating them.

After defeating the monster, Dargo excitedly led his men over, saying, "Thank you for coming. Otherwise, we don't know how much longer we could have held out."

His companion, a member of the Smoke Masters named Alda, said with lingering fear: "There were too many monsters. We killed one batch and another came. This was the first time I had ever seen such a dangerous situation."

"It's alright, it's good that we made it. You guys hurry up and move on." Paimon urged them to move forward, "We'll be safe once we reach the Arena of Fire."

Alda nodded, but then frowned: "Yes, I know, but there's a bit of trouble now. Many people were injured in the battle just now."

Our supply truck was also attacked, and things were scattered everywhere…

"Now is not the time to talk things out. Preserving your life is the most important thing," reminded another Flowing Springs member named Cocopang, who was of a more robust build.

Alda understood this too: "I know, I know, but those are medical supplies. What if there are many people at the arena who need them..."

Just then, a cheerful male voice rang out: "Oh! Here they are! It's them!"

Looking around, everyone saw a group of messengers and members of the Flower Feather Society running towards them.

The leader, a wooden messenger named Lianpu, quickly stepped forward to confirm and said, "So the crisis has been resolved. You are all very skilled. It seems we are no longer needed to provide assistance."

Nusta, who was traveling with him, was one of the best warriors in the Flower Feather Society. She put her hands on her hips and looked relaxed: "Isn't this perfect? ​​We can go straight to the next place."

Seeing that these members didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, Ying suddenly realized what was going on.

The fact that the Flower Feather Society and the Suspended Wood People were attacked was not known to the lower levels, but was suppressed by Saffir.

Telling these people bad news at this time would only demoralize the troops. She wanted to resolve those problems as much as possible without the others knowing, because only in this way would victory be more within reach.

Ying's eyes darkened slightly, but in the end, she still chose not to tell them these things.

Since their return to provide support now would be of no use anyway, it's better to let them keep running around and make the most of their abilities, as this will benefit the progress of the war.

Paimon didn't think too much about it and instead asked, "Are there other places that need rescue?"

Both she and Ying wanted to do their part as much as possible, after all, this was not a war fought by one person alone.

Lianpu nodded: "Yes, since we've met here, I'll give you the current battle report."

There's a reason why Lamp can lead this mobile squad; he has a broad perspective and can understand many things that higher-ups would consider.

His current concern is that powerful warriors like Ying should know more information so that the enemy can do more. War has drained everyone's energy, and this is no longer the time to be reckless.

“Now the messengers of the Suspended Wood People are traveling to every corner of Nata, delivering the latest information to everyone. If you encounter other messengers of the Suspended Wood People later, you can ask them about the current situation in various places.” After saying this, Lamp handed a piece of parchment to Ying.

Paimon was delighted: "Thank you, let's see where we're going."

"Judging from your strength, let's split up. You choose a location, and we'll take care of the rest." Nusta acknowledged Ying's strength and gave her the opportunity to demonstrate it.

Lamp shook his head and said, "But they also seem to need help; these things are very important..."

Alda said, "It's alright, we can't let our presence delay your rescue operation."

Dargo chimed in, "But lingering here too long is dangerous; we don't know if the monster from before will attack again..."

Paimon was also unsure of what to do. She looked at Ying with a troubled expression and said, "What should we do, Ying? Do you want to help me again? Whatever you decide, I'll listen to you!"

On the other side, in the operations command center.

“The abyss activity is still very weak at present. Although the ley lines are chaotic, they are not to the point of affecting people’s bodies. However, the number of monsters has reached over a thousand, and the number of casualties has reached... 102.” Pal said, describing the current situation.

Saffir nodded slightly. Suddenly, a message notification sound came from the Void Terminal. After she answered, she heard Ying's voice: "There are a bunch of people at my current location. Their vehicle transporting medicine overturned. I still need to go to support other places. Should I send someone to make contact?"

Saffir replied, "Wait a moment."

She then posted instructions on the Messenger network, asking where the nearest mobile squad was located near Luminous's coordinates.

Lamp immediately answered her question: "Lamp's team is over here with Ying. We met and haven't separated yet."

Upon hearing this, Saffir immediately replied, "The mission for the Lamp Squad has been updated: escort the medicine and Dargo's group back to the Holy Flame Arena. Others will continue the support operations."

“Understood,” Lempu replied immediately.

The issue of medicine and the problems of Dalgo and his group were resolved.

Yingwei nodded slightly after learning the outcome from Lianpu. Now she didn't need to worry anymore and could rest in peace before heading to the next place to provide support.

Just as they were resting, a member of the Flowing Springs approached her: "Hello, Traveler, can you do me a favor?"

Ying nodded immediately: "Tell me, I will definitely help if I can."

“My mother is a doctor. When she heard that someone had been attacked in the wild, she rushed there and hasn’t heard from her since.” Tepoz, the member of the Stream Springs, expressed his predicament. “She’s not good at fighting, and I’m very worried about her. Unfortunately, I can’t leave right now. If you see her, could you please tell her to stop wandering around and go to safety?”

“Okay! We’ll keep an eye on it!” Paimon immediately agreed.

Tepoz smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you, this way I won't be distracted during the battle."

"Would you mind revealing your mother's name?" Ying suddenly asked.

Tepoz nodded immediately: "Her name is Mayawei. Sigh, she's just too kind-hearted. This old lady, even at her age, still likes to run around everywhere."

Ying nodded and uploaded the intelligence to the cloud for Saffir to receive.

After Tepotz left, Ying looked around at the people around her. Some were afraid, some were nervous, and some were excited. A war had revealed everyone's true thoughts. There were all kinds of emotions, but no one was calm.

Ying felt very calm, at least calmer than everyone around her.

Suddenly, she noticed someone staring at her intently. Puzzled, she walked over and asked, "What's wrong? You seem to have something to say?"

Utulunku was startled, realized he had been daydreaming, immediately shook his head, and then nodded.

Ying tilted her head, not understanding what this guy meant.

Utulunku took a deep breath and then asked, "Are you... afraid?"

Yingxin felt a chill run down her spine. This guy probably had pre-war phobia, which was not a good thing. She remembered what Safiel had told her and said, "Fear is normal. Everyone is afraid. There is nothing shameful about it."

“I see. So fear is not shameful.” Utulunku said thoughtfully.

Paimon emphasized, "That's right, even though you were scared, you still stood here and took up arms. That's remarkable!"

Upon hearing this, Utulunku's mood immediately improved, and a smile appeared on his face: "I see, I understand. Thank you for encouraging me!"

The operations command center also received the latest battle report. Looking at the battlefield situation, Saffir frowned slightly: "Ying chose to support the Sulfur Crystal branch, and the messengers near the Suspended Wood People have lost contact..."

Just then, a reassuring voice came through the communication: "I have arrived at the location near the Suspended Wood Man. That place is not far from me, and I can go to provide support."

Upon hearing the voice, Saffir paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hmm, you're here so quickly, Sister Lei."

The one speaking was none other than Arecino, the fourth seat of the Fools' Executive Committee: servant.

She rushed over when she learned that Saffir was gathering manpower to support Nata, and chose the location of the Suspended Wood Man to deal with him.

She gave a soft hum and then said, "This time I'm not here to provide support as a servant of the Fatui Enforcers, but simply as 'Peruvieri' to offer my dear sister a little help."

"Ah! It's Pepe! Pepe's here!" Clementine's voice came through the communicator again, her words full of surprise.

Arecino smiled and said, "Let's get together again later. I'll take care of what I'm doing first."

After hanging up the communication, Arecino's eyes became much more serious. She had just arrived near the Suspended Wood Man and hadn't had time to rest before rushing to the location that needed support.

Just as she arrived, she overheard Achiaku complaining, "When will this ever end!"

"At this rate, we won't be able to hold on much longer!" The female warrior named Waida also felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Hearing the commotion, Arecino instantly conjured a scythe in her hand, and charged into the encirclement with a burst of flames.

There were quite a few abyssal monsters, almost completely surrounding the people here, making it impossible for them to break through. However, under Arecino's powerful offensive, the once arrogant abyssal monsters were defeated one by one, like clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

Only after the last monster was burned to ashes did Arecino put away her weapon and wipe the fine sweat from her forehead.

The sweat wasn't from fighting, but from traveling. She had truly rushed here without stopping. Fortunately, the monsters here weren't too strong, otherwise she would have had to consider using some other powers.

Having confirmed that all the monsters had been eliminated, Achiac led his men to Arecino. He had never seen the woman before, but at this moment, only allies would come to his aid.

He didn't feel the awkwardness of meeting her for the first time, but when he met the woman's eyes, he couldn't help but swallow hard: "Thank you very much for your help, you came just in time."

The middle-aged man named Vakar beside him looked frightened and solemn: "Thank you, but what exactly happened? Are there students appearing in other places as well?"

Instead of answering the question directly, Arecino asked, "You should have received warnings that danger was coming, so why are you still here?"

“This…” Vakar scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed. “Although Lord Vulcan had informed us to take precautions against danger and prepare for migration, who knew there would be so many abyssal monsters?”

"It's not wise to take chances. Let's leave as soon as possible." Arecino didn't say much more and prepared to let them leave because it wasn't safe here.

At this moment, Vaida spoke up: "But what about all these wounded people in this room...?"

"Wounded?" Arecino frowned slightly.

Achiaku answered her again: "There are many people around here who have been attacked by the abyss. We have temporarily gathered them here because we are short of medicine and they have difficulty moving around."

We didn't know what to do next. Holding out here would only mean waiting to die, but we couldn't abandon them and force a breakout.

"Thank goodness you came; you saved us all." Vakar was extremely grateful.

Arecino thought for a moment, then said, "The Suspended Wood People are already evacuating. There's no use rushing over now. Please wait a moment."

She walked aside and began contacting Saffir: "A location around the Suspended Wood Man has been cleared, but there are wounded people on site. It's probably not feasible for them to make their way to the Olympic Arena on their own."

“Is that so…” Saffir was also a little troubled, but she did not hesitate and instructed, “Sister Lei, please confirm the number of people. I will arrange for someone to go and meet them.”

Arecino could only agree: "Then we need to hurry. I won't be able to take care of things once we start dealing with the sites here."

“I understand, Rosalyn has already set off. I’ll leave the G-spot formation to Sister Lei,” Saffir said.

Arecino hung up the communication and then looked at Achiacoo: "The people who escort you will be here soon. You will all follow her to the Sacred Flame Arena. Remember, do not go to the Suspended Wood People."

“Okay.” Achiaku nodded immediately.

He was also a member of the Suspended Wood tribe, so he could naturally tell that Arecino's earring was a communication device carried by the messengers, meaning that this woman had the authority to communicate directly with the highest commander.

After giving her instructions, Arecino found the messenger here to update the intelligence, then entered the houses in the camp to check the personnel situation, and then looked around.

Upon investigation, they indeed discovered other survivors, as well as several lone monsters a little further away chasing after a few people who were unable to fight.

One of the elderly women was giving directions with all her might: "Quick, this way, follow me!"

Without a word, Arecino rushed forward and dealt with the monster, then looked at the people being chased.

The elderly woman directing the event, wearing glasses, ran up to Arecino breathlessly: "Thank you, thank you so much! Oh, so many people suddenly appearing..."

The young man behind her sighed, "Yes, it was so close. We also have to thank the doctor for coming to such a dangerous place to find us..."

"Doctor? What's your name?" Arecino raised an eyebrow and looked at the old lady.

The old lady blinked: "Me? My name is Mayawei."

“Mayave, it seems you are Tepoz’s mother.” Arecino confirmed the identity of the old woman she had rescued. “Your son is very worried about you and hopes you will seek refuge.”

Upon hearing this, Maya nodded slowly, then said helplessly, "I know it's become very dangerous outside, and I shouldn't run around, but I can't just do nothing either..."

"Here's what I'll do. I'll write him a letter, and then when a squad of soldiers passes by, I'll go with them. That way, I'll be safer."

Arecino frowned slightly. In truth, she did not approve of Mayavie's risky actions, but she could not disregard the Nata people's determination to save their country.

After a moment's thought, she agreed: "Please do it as soon as possible; time is very precious now."
