Chapter 593: Chaos Erupting Within the Jiedian

"I just think this Magic Power hut of Mimi's is truly magical. Yes, simply magical!"

Jier said affirmatively, and after finishing, he threw a wild boar weighing over a hundred kilograms over with one hand.

The wild boar was much heavier; after Mimi caught it with both hands, the weight almost caused the boar to drop to the ground. Moreover, the wild boar was not small in size, and it was only after Mimi opened the house's front door a bit more that the boar was smoothly stuffed into the hall.

Because of the wild boar's size, more of the floor in the front part of the hall was pried up and moved this time, revealing more of the Magic Power mechanism structures underneath, as well as terrifying biological organs.

Seeing Jier staring with wide eyes, watching the Magic Power hut eat without blinking, Yamila also found it interesting, so she spoke up and asked: "What is so magical about this? If you had seen a Mage's Magic Tower, wouldn't you be stunned? Compared to a Magic Tower, Mimi's Magic Power hut is nothing more than a child or a young beast."

She did not mind Jier peeking at the internal structure of the Magic Power hut; let alone Jier just curiously taking a look, even if she herself had seen the massive amount of Scroll blueprints her teacher had made years ago when creating Magic Power huts, she still couldn't understand most of the magic knowledge within them. Not to mention that a Magic Creation like a Magic Power hut involves far too much related knowledge.

It is not just magic knowledge, but also the technology of artificial souls, biological knowledge regarding the use of residual Magic Beast organs, various knowledge and techniques for artificial arms and legs, as well as a large amount of mechanical mechanism folding and restoration technology, large-capacity Magic Power storage technology, and even sub-spatial pocket containment technology, and so on.

Yamila herself only understood a portion; she had never even heard of many of the magical and non-magical technical knowledge before.

In fact, she did not know that her teacher had not mastered many of the technical knowledge mentioned above either, but not mastering them was one thing, while whether one could obtain them and use them correctly was another matter. Her teacher actually learned or purchased some technical knowledge through the upper circles of Mages, by exchanging benefits with various Mages who excelled in technology, or directly purchased finished parts that could be used upon arrival.

Like the sub-spatial pocket next to the core of the Magic Power hut Mimi, this kind of spatial storage technology is not something most Mages can master, but they can spend funds and resources to directly purchase the corresponding technology or physical objects from larger Mage organizations through communication and trade.

And obtaining and controlling the digestive organs of Magic Beasts is not something a Mage who never steps out of their door can easily possess. They mostly obtain these things through the Alchemist Guild; after all, the body organs and tissues of Magic Beasts are the basic raw materials for making many Magic Potions, and the Alchemist Guild holds a large number of Magic Beast corpses, as well as the corresponding technology for the reuse of Magic Beast corpse tissues.

So, if you don't know how to manufacture it yourself, you can still buy it to use, right?

And like Jier today, just curiously peeking at the internal structure of the Magic Power hut, it is far from being called prying into technical secrets, because most of the technical knowledge within it was not even mastered by the creator of the Magic Power hut themselves.

If Jier could see something just by looking, then Yamila's teacher would probably be too happy to contain it.

This would mean that they had encountered another student with powerful talent.

Jier finally threw a wild boar to Mimi, and Mimi impatiently stuffed the wild boar into its 'mouth' with its large hands. With the swallowing and digestion of the animal carcass, Mimi, as an artificial soul, seemed to feel the comfort of being full.

"Mi—"

It let out a satisfied cry, retracted its two white large hands, and even before retracting them, it gathered up the soil stained with viscera and blood from the ground and sent it into its 'mouth' to digest.

"Ew, Mimi, you really aren't particular; that's too crude." After seeing this scene, Yamila stomped her feet in displeasure, seemingly disgusted by the bloody, visceral smell outside the window, and directly closed the window. But before closing the window, she shouted to Jier: "Alright! Go do your business. The trade is over, and I will return as soon as possible. I'll set off before dark today. Ha, once you deliver those dozens of corpses, I will leave here with Mimi."

"But if you don't deliver those dozens of corpses, I wouldn't mind letting Mimi find dozens of people to fill its stomach on its own. As for who those people are, I can only say whoever we happen to meet will be the ones."

Yamila did not care about the casualties of these neighboring people at all; even as a high-ranking Mage apprentice, she did not care about the lives of the common people of her own country either.

She only cared about people who could bring her benefits, such as Jier.

Hearing Yamila's words, Jier didn't mind, knowing that the other party was mostly just talking, so he looked up at the sky that was gradually turning white and bright, knowing that the next day was arriving, waved his hand at the Magic Power hut, and turned to walk into the still-dark Forest.

Mimi also extended a large, pale-colored hand from beside the window when Jier waved and turned around, waving at Jier as a gesture of farewell.

If one does not consider the human concept and thought of empathy for one's own kind, Mimi, as a simple-minded artificial spirit, is actually about as intelligent as that kind of clever Shepherd Dog.

Perhaps even a bit smarter, but they are all easy to deal with, and one can make friends with them.

When Jier rode the Spirit Dog Big Nose and began to return to the Jiedian, Xueya Site yawned on a tree, seeing the last batch of Mao Mao who went out hunting return to the Jiedian, and the Defeated Soldiers responsible for opening the gate in the Jiedian also took the opportunity to close the Jiedian's gate just before others woke up.

It was as if they had been loyally guarding the gate all night and working properly.

The Refining Qi soldiers responsible for patrolling the wall saw that the gate hadn't been closed all night and nothing had happened, so they put away the idea of snitching to the Soldier Captain Yeluba.

However, even if some of the soldiers wanted to report it, they soon wouldn't have the energy to do so. Because just as the day brightened, a burst of noise suddenly erupted from the soldier Tent cluster in the Jiedian, waking up one Defeated Soldier after another, attracting them, and causing them to argue.

More and more soldiers gathered, and even the soldiers patrolling on the wall ran over to watch out of curiosity about what had happened, not to mention the soldiers responsible for opening the gate or keeping an eye on the Mine entrance; they all gathered there one after another.

The severely injured Knight Hartna, even though his spirit was poor and his physical condition was bad, was still the first to notice the change in the Yingdi before his Adjutant Piluo.

"Uh... Piluo, huff... wake up quickly!"

Knight Hartna shouted, but Adjutant Piluo slept deeply; unless he woke up naturally after being well-rested, he would always sleep until broad daylight every time. There was no help for it; the injuries on Knight Hartna's body were not something Adjutant Piluo could heal just by being anxious. He had no way, so he could only waste time sleeping.

Knight Hartna still used his fingers to pick up a small stone from the ground and barely threw it to wake up the sleeping Piluo.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Knight, did that man Yeluba bring people to attack? I knew it! It was only a matter of time before he did this. After what happened yesterday, taking a risk to fight is very much his style!"

As soon as Adjutant Piluo woke up, he thought it was the companions who had parted ways who had attacked and said anxiously, but after he figured out it wasn't, he lit an illumination item and came to Knight Hartna's side.

"My lord, what happened?"

It was not convenient for Knight Hartna to speak. After Adjutant Piluo fed him some water, he said with a slight improvement: "It's not that Yeluba brought people to attack, but something... happened in the Yingdi. Piluo, I have a bad premonition..."

Adjutant Piluo sighed: "Given the current situation, what good things could there be for you to have a premonition about?"

The Knight glared at Piluo: "Be careful. Although I have never feared death, the manner and ending of death are still... very important."

He muttered tremblingly: "Is it to die... gloriously, or to be spurned by others like lowly mud. This is what the family values most. The children... will grow up in the family's heritage, and the deeds of us people will become the... key that influences their growth."

Adjutant Piluo understood that if they were to die in the mountains and forests just like this without any news, it would actually be a better thing for the family and for the younger generation in the family.

They died gloriously in the war against the neighboring country; this is a glorious sacrifice.

And if the behavior of their subordinates basely attacking the Village were to reach their hometown, it would be better to die early, because this would bring shame to the family and prevent the younger generation from growing up bathed in the legendary and glorious stories of their elders.

Without this confidence and pride in family honor, the younger children would be unable to achieve amazing accomplishments.

But Knight Hartna had no choice; he was injured and captured on the battlefield, and during his captivity, he fell into a trap set by the enemy and committed an act that severely damaged the Knight's honor. That was a terrible thing serious enough to destroy the family, so even if forced to obey the enemy and temporarily run errands for them, he had to keep this secret until death.

The mistake he made must be repaid with his own life.

However, if he could return alive and the enemy kept that secret properly, as long as time passed, he would be completely safe, because many secrets are difficult to distinguish between true and false once a long time has passed, and therefore the family's honor would not be damaged.

"Go out and see. No matter what... happened, I am here, ready at any time to fight, and then die."

After Knight Hartna finished speaking, he closed his eyes, tried hard to accumulate strength from his broken body, and prepared to activate the 【Courage Potion】 at any time. Once the Potion was used, he would roughly return to sixty to eighty percent of his peak strength within the Potion's effective duration.

It was just a pity that there was not much Life Energy left in his body; it was either consumed during the fighting along the way, or it was struggling to maintain and protect the safety of the important organs in his body, not letting the injuries spread to the most important batch of organs.

Adjutant Piluo could not bother to tidy himself up and soon left the wooden house full of the smell of rot.

As soon as he came out, he heard the noise and angry shouts coming from the soldier camp not far away.

Just as he intended to walk over, several soldiers who leaned towards him and Knight Hartna immediately ran over quickly.

Their faces were full of anger, and some had expressions of sadness and fear on their faces, as if they had never expected that such a shocking thing would really happen within their ranks.

"What's wrong? Why are you all panicking like this?" Piluo met them and immediately asked loudly.

"Something happened, Adjutant!"

The leading soldier said with a cold face: "I knew it; after such a fierce confrontation yesterday, those people wouldn't just do nothing. Sure enough, this morning, no, just a moment ago, Duda and Bie'eoke, they died."

"Dead?" Piluo immediately placed his hand on his Cavalry Sword and asked in surprise.

Actually, if something happened to Duda, he could still understand it, because this kid was dissatisfied with Yeluba's behavior to begin with, but he just didn't dare to say it openly before, so he was muddledly considered to be someone who had taken Yeluba's side.

If he had shown a tendency to side with Knight Hartna earlier, he would have been arranged to go to Changmai Village at the very first moment.

But Bie'eoke was different; he was an old veteran, and Piluo understood this person somewhat—he didn't care about any tendencies at all, choosing whichever was advantageous to him.

When Yeluba's orders were favorable to him, he would lean toward Yeluba. And when Adjutant Piluo had evidence to prove that staying in the mountains and forests for a long time was not safe, not even on the outskirts of the Southern Mountains, he would use his own safety as an excuse to lean slightly toward Piluo and his side in his speech.

But now that even a person like this had met with an accident, those people behind the scenes might really be about to make a move.

"They are all dead, killed in their tents; it must have happened last night," another soldier who brought the news said with regret, while this soldier glared at the majority of the people gathered not far away, gritting his teeth.

Piluo steadied himself, knowing that he could be attacked at any moment now; although he had Knight Hartna's final desperate strike behind him, that was something to be done only as a last resort. And clearly, Yeluba understood this point, which was why the other party did not act on the spot last night.

Piluo understood Yeluba too well; as long as it was a matter that seriously threatened his own life, the other party would avoid doing it if he could. Looking at the results, the incident of attacking their side under the cover of night last night was unlikely to have been done by Yeluba.

But it could not be ruled out that someone under the other party's command had resentment in their heart, or that a few people had conspired to cause trouble.

"Everyone, get ready for battle. If a fight breaks out later, we won't stay here. While defending, we will move toward this place. After taking Knight Hartna, we will leave here directly and never come back. And Yeluba, who is waiting to make a fortune from the trade, will likely not pursue us."

Piluo said this; this kind of response was the only way out of a desperate situation.

By then, without the 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】 that could quickly heal injuries, how long Knight Hartna could hold on was something no one could say for sure. Perhaps the Knight could hold on until they reached a large town and found a group of Church Priests capable of healing serious injuries, or perhaps before they even walked out of the Forest under their feet, Knight Hartna would die from the jolting before he could hold on.

Both are possible.

Under the leadership of Adjutant Piluo, several people put on their Helmets, pressed their hands on their sword hilts, and the Soldier Shields were also fixed on their left forearms in advance.

The few people walked quickly and happened to run into Yeluba and his party, who were also prepared for battle, in the crowd.

Unlike his own soldiers who glared at the other side, Adjutant Piluo looked at Yeluba opposite him quite calmly.

Yeluba's complexion was good and his spirits were fine; clearly, he had not been lingering with the village women last night, but perhaps he had only heard about what happened this morning, and his handsome, mature face, which had a good complexion, was clearly carrying a bit of panic and helplessness.

And Yeluba was exactly like this at this moment.

He knew better than anyone that he had not ordered such a method to deal with the soldiers who were disaffected and inclined toward Knight Hartna's side last night.

Not to mention that one of the soldiers was also a veteran in the team, and he was even an old partner who came from the same Noble territory as him.

But even if he didn't give the order himself, he couldn't stop the people under his command from potentially disobeying instructions and secretly doing such a thing.

In fact, that was exactly what he thought.

However, although he thought this in his mind, he would not say it with his mouth. At this moment, upon seeing Piluo opposite him, he ignored the noisy arguments of the other soldiers watching around them and shouted loudly to Piluo: "This is a bloody assassination! This is the most shameless act in the human world! Our heroic soldiers have died so miserably; I, Yeluba, the Captain managing the soldiers, must avenge them!"

Regardless of the truth of the situation, he, Yeluba, would occupy the moral high ground of avenging the dead first!
