Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"Uncle, it's not necessary. You should take a rest. Look at your body. It's not worth it to take medicine every day and get sick."

Lin Yi walked quickly to the old king and hurriedly put the golden scepter in the old king's hand aside.

Although Lin Yi knew that even if the old king used this thing, he might not be able to break through the defense, he still had to show his attitude.

At this moment, a man with a grim face and wearing a black windbreaker appeared in Lin Yi's sight, followed by a majestic big dog.

When Bubuwang saw Lin Yi, it was stunned for a moment. It was originally prepared to bark happily, but when it thought of Su Xiao's current identity, it forced itself to hold back and did not yell at Lin Yi.

After Su Xiao saw Lin Yi, his heart was filled with disbelief.

You know, the identity he exchanged for was Iron Hand, one of the four powerful officials in the kingdom. How could this guy Lin Yi appear here?

Seeing Su Xiao coming, the old king gave Lin Yi a small look, indicating that he would deal with him later.

Looking at Su Xiao's youthful appearance, the old king's eyes revealed a complicated look.

He seemed to see his younger self in Su Xiao's face, the same unruly and high-spirited self.

"You have a young body and powerful military force. If I were you, I would definitely get a lot of women and keep busy until the late night every day." The old king smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Su Xiao just stood quietly five meters in front of him, his face as calm as water, and said nothing.

The old king was not angry at Su Xiao's silence. On the contrary, he was already accustomed to this silence.

The old king noticed that Lidya Su glanced quickly at Lin Yi after entering the door.

However, the old king didn't care.

In his heart, Lin Yi's current performance is exactly what he wants.

Although this guy made it clear that he was not prepared to inherit the throne, the old king was not prepared to let the election for the throne affect Lin Yi.

Therefore, this time, when Su Xiao came over, Lin Yi was deliberately asked to stand here as well. On the one hand, he wanted Lin Yi to understand the situation in the kingdom, and on the other hand, he wanted Su Xiao to help Lin Yi deter other forces so that they would not interfere recklessly.

"How many dissidents have you helped me eliminate? Cough cough cough cough cough..." The old king put his fist tightly in front of his mouth and let out a violent dry cough. The sound seemed to be coughing out the lungs from his chest.

This time, he did not deliberately avoid Lin Yi when speaking.

"257 people." Su Xiao replied expressionlessly, his tone calm as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

He knew clearly how many dissidents the "Iron Hand" had helped the old king eliminate. After all, this was extremely important information.

"Are there so many people already?" A complex look flashed across the old king's eyes, showing helplessness and heartache.

"Power has led too many people astray, but they have forgotten that outside the Wall of God there are undead who want to exterminate all humans." The old king leaned on the throne, looking a little tired.

A strand of saliva stuck to his beard, but he ignored it.

"Iron Hand, can I trust you?" The old king leaned forward slightly, and his eyes were no longer cloudy, but became extremely sharp, like two sharp swords, as if they could easily see through people's hearts.

"Of course." Su Xiao's answer was concise and powerful, without any hesitation.

"I can't hold on much longer."

"..." Su Xiao remained silent, just staring at the old king quietly. He knew that silence at this moment was more powerful than words.

"You can't reveal this secret even if you die."

"clear."

Lidya Su still had that calm tone.

"My descendants are on their way to the Holy City. A new heir to the throne will emerge from among them."

The old king’s words let Su Xiao know that the main topic was about to come.

"Only those who are wise enough are qualified to inherit the throne. This is what the Iron Crown King passed down, and it is also the key to the prosperity of the kingdom to this day. My children add up to about... 48, no, 49. Some of them may be able to inherit the throne, or not, but no matter what, the family name 'Herbert' will never be cut off. This is one of the reasons why we can fight against the undead."

"Iron Hand, after they gather in the royal capital, the struggle for power will begin. I want you to assist the victorious heir to the throne, just as you assist me now. Before the heir appears, help me monitor them, and if they harbor rebellious thoughts, help me deal with them." The old king's tone seemed to be understated, but those he wanted to deal with were his own children.

Following the old king's words, the main tasks in front of Lin Yi and Su Xiao were finally activated at the same time.

……

"According to the time, several of my descendants will be here tomorrow morning. Help me get rid of a few of them tonight." As the old king spoke, he took out a small roll of parchment from his arms. Su Xiao walked a few steps forward to the old king and took the parchment.

"You don't need to make them disappear secretly this time. The new heir to the throne cannot convince the public. You need to let them know what the consequences of going against the surname 'Herbert' are. No, you need to let everyone in the capital know that your Iron Hand is my, Bai Herbert's, sharpest knife."

"Lin Yi, tonight you will be my eyes and follow Iron Hand to these people's homes. Remember, don't leave any of them alive."

The old king patted Lin Yi's forearm. In order to ensure Lin Yi's safety before the new king took office, the old king specially arranged for Lin Yi and Su Xiao to do this dirty work together.

In this way, Lin Yi is considered a member of the Iron Hand faction in the eyes of outsiders.

As long as those heirs to the throne are not fools, they will not easily threaten Lin Yi.

You know, the power of the Iron Hand is both big and small. It is different from the position of general.

For these crown princes, the Iron Hand poses a much greater threat than the general.

Because the Iron Hands really have the power to kill them.

Su Xiao knew very well that what he had to do was very simple, which was to scare those people with ulterior motives out of their wits.

Tonight, there will be blood and gore in the royal capital.

"Take 50 royal guards with you and make sure no one is left alive." The old king stared at Lin Yi and while speaking, he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth.

Lin Yi shrugged helplessly, indicating that he understood.

"You bastard, get out of here now if you know what's going on. Iron Hand, I'll leave this kid to you for the time being. If anything goes wrong with him during this period, you don't have to come see me again."

"Yes."

Su Xiao looked at the old king expressionlessly, and was not shaken at all by the old king's words, just like a cold-faced and ruthless killer.

After saying that, Su Xiao turned around and prepared to walk out of the meeting hall. He did not use any honorifics because he was the Iron Hand and it was his mission to eliminate dissidents for the old king. Those cumbersome etiquettes were meaningless to him.

Looking at Su Xiao's leaving figure, a trace of regret appeared on the old king's face.

"Lin Yi."

"What's wrong, Fourth Uncle?"

"If Hardy has done something out of line, give him a chance to make amends."

The old king had his eyes closed. The Hatti he was talking about was the eldest prince, a 47-year-old prince. As the eldest son, the old king gave him an extra privilege.

"My eldest cousin? Okay, I will tell Iron Hand about this."

"Then Fourth Uncle, I'm leaving. Also, if that crappy medicine doesn't work, then don't take it. You don't want to die as a dead spirit, do you?"

"You little bastard, you're already teaching me a lesson before I'm even dead? Get out of here right now." The old king waved his hand in feigned anger, looking as if he was going to pick up the golden scepter on the side.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Seeing Lin Yi leaving, a smile appeared on the old king's face.

How many years had it been since he felt so happy? Ten years? Twenty years? The old king himself couldn't remember.

He vaguely remembered that after he was fifteen years old, he was forced to start learning all kinds of knowledge about governing a country, and since then he embarked on the bloody and cruel road to fight for the throne.

The old king sat up with great effort. He stood in front of the throne in ragged shape, his eyes revealing vicissitudes and fatigue.

He had won a hard-fought power struggle 45 years ago, but as a price, he personally killed all his closest relatives, including his father.

That dark past, like a heavy yoke, has always weighed on his heart.

He thought he would never experience the warmth of family love again in this life, but he didn't expect to meet Lin Yi before he died. Perhaps, God took pity on him and sent Lin Yi down.

Ten minutes later, Lin Yi and Su Xiao met at Iron Hand's mansion.

The courtyard of this house is extremely spacious, but it is overgrown with weeds. It is obvious that it has not been taken care of for a long time.

The pool was already half dry, and there was no sign of any living creature in the pale green water.

Lin Yi was surprised to find that there were no servants in Su Xiao's house. No, strictly speaking, there were two servants, and they were two little girls who looked only about ten years old.

"Damn it! Su Xiao, you have such a strong taste! You don't even let go of a ten-year-old child. No wonder you always look sexually apathetic and have no feelings for anyone. I, Lin, am ashamed to be associated with you." Seeing the two little twin girls running around cleaning the room for Su Xiao, Lin Yi showed an expression of disbelief on his face, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.

After hearing what Lin Yi said, Lidya Su couldn't hold it anymore.

As for Bubu Wang who was standing aside, he was already lying on the ground, laughing so hard that he was falling over. His look was simply hilarious.

The atmosphere in the entire courtyard became a little weird for a moment, and Su Xiao's face was full of black lines, not knowing how to respond to Lin Yi's sudden accusation.

"Okay, okay, these two guys appeared when I came in." Su Xiao hurriedly explained. He didn't dare to tell others that when he came in, he found two little lolis warming his bed.

Otherwise, with Lin Yi's big mouth, sooner or later everyone in the Samsara Paradise will think that Su Xiao is a lolita complex, and then Su Xiao will never be able to clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

"By the way, what is your current identity? Why is the old king so lenient to you?" Su Xiao glanced at Lin Yi, his heart full of confusion.

Based on his understanding of the old king, that guy was no ordinary person.

If there is any mistake in Su Xiao's performance today, he will not be able to successfully walk out of the heavily guarded palace.

Who wouldn't dare to kill the old king who had been on the throne for his whole life? The position of Iron Hand looked impressive, but in fact, he was just a dog of the old king. As long as the old king wanted, he could replace the Iron Hand at any time.

This was just a loyalty test from the old king, and Su Xiao passed it by luck.

"My identity is the vice-president of the Alchemy Academy, but I am also the surviving son of the previous prince. To the old king, I am like his great nephew."

"No wonder, you have no right to inherit the throne, and you have no hatred towards the royal family. It seems that the old king is ready to protect you in this vortex." Su Xiao's mind worked very quickly. Almost as soon as Lin Yi finished stating his identity, he had analyzed the cause and effect.

The border between the Kingdom of Saint Sodin and the Undead Empire, the Wall of God, the Lulimas Snowfield area.

This ice wall is a hundred meters high and more than ten meters wide, like an insurmountable barrier.

At this time, a large group of soldiers wearing cold-resistant clothes were standing on the ice wall and roaring. They lined up in a row and worked together to operate thousands of heavy machine crossbows.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the taut crossbow string suddenly loosened, and the snowflakes falling from the sky were shattered into large pieces.

A crossbow arrow made entirely of metal shot out. The crossbow arrow was at least three meters long. Its huge size did not look like a weapon used against humans.

The metal crossbow arrow tore through the air like lightning and shot under the ice wall almost instantly.

There was a dull thud, and the bullet pierced through the body of a humanoid creature without any obstruction.

With a "pop", the upper body of the humanoid creature exploded, light green blood splattered everywhere, and its lower body rushed forward a few steps before falling to the ground.

Below the ice wall, countless humanoid creatures rushed towards it like a tide.

Their skin was pale and they looked almost the same as humans, but their eyes were green, a terrifying green.

Just staring into those eyes is enough to give you the creeps.

That's right, they are the Undead.

The number of the Undead was huge, but they were not cannon fodder. On the contrary, they were all wearing finely forged armor and holding sharp weapons. Looking at their charging formation, it was clear that they were a well-trained army.

"Gait (For the King)!"

"Gait (For the King)!"

Hundreds of thousands of Undead roared and rushed towards the ice wall. They were not emotionless creatures. On the contrary, the Undead were stubborn creatures. As long as they set their minds on something, they would do it no matter what the cost.

No one knows why the Undead are so obsessed with attacking the Wall of God.

You know, the territory they occupied was far richer than the Kingdom of Saint Sodin.

In addition to the harsh climate, the territory of the Kingdom of Saint Sodin is completely overwhelmed by resources, so the Undead will naturally develop their territory.

Before the appearance of the Wall of God, the Undead army was able to defeat the human army because their forging technology was more advanced and their military quality far surpassed that of humans.

The undead are intelligent. According to investigations by human sages (sages: similar to scientific researchers), the undead have high IQs and their creativity even exceeds that of humans.

It is really incomprehensible that such a highly intelligent race would persist in attacking a strong wall that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The human soldiers didn't understand, and their superiors didn't understand either, but they all knew one thing: they must not let the undead break through the Wall of God.

Boom, boom, boom...

The snowfield shook, and hundreds of thousands of undead rushed to the ice wall. The outer side of the ice wall was almost vertical. The hundred-meter-high ice wall was as smooth as a mirror, making it extremely difficult to climb.

Whizzing……

Metal crossbow arrows dropped from the sky, and in an instant, thousands of Undead were stabbed into skewers and nailed to the frozen ground.

After the undead rushed under the ice wall, they raised their arms horizontally and stretched them back with force.

Ding, ding, ding...

Hook-shaped arm blades popped out from the metal arm guards of the undead. They leaped up almost at the same time, with the hooks on their arms hooking towards the ice wall.

Crisp sounds were heard one after another. Because the ice wall was too hard, most of the Undead failed, and only a few succeeded.

They began to climb upwards. Although many undead fell down during the climb, hundreds of them still managed to climb upwards.

"Here they come again! These ice skins are so stubborn." A soldier on the ice wall spat. "Ice skins" is what they call the undead.

"Stop talking nonsense and change to explosive arrows quickly. If these undeads climb up, many brothers will die." The "explosive arrows" mentioned by the soldier on the side are actually a special metal crossbow arrow.

This type of crossbow arrow will completely split after being fired. A three-meter-long metal crossbow arrow will split into at least hundreds of pieces.

It’s just that the “Split Arrow” is expensive to make, and it will not be used except when the Undead are climbing the Wall of God.

Boom, boom, boom... the rapid sound of war drums spread across the ice wall.

Hearing the sound of the war drum, all the soldiers rushed to the protruding low wall at the edge of the ice wall. It was almost an instinctive action for them.

Dense black dots fell from the sky. If you look closely, you will find that these black dots are black pointed cones about one meter long.

The pointed cone is covered with black spiral lines, is slender throughout, and has strong penetrating power.

This is the long-range means of the dead army, a weapon called "Death Spin". However, "Death Spin" is the transliteration of this weapon, which translates into human language as "Black Curtain Rain".

With a "crackling" sound, ice chips flew everywhere. A black spike pierced into the ice wall, and the splashed ice chips hit a soldier's face. A few drops of blood oozed from his face, which showed how powerful this black spike was.

The 'Black Curtain Rain' is a very terrifying long-range weapon. Its only weakness is that it takes a long time to reload. The human soldiers all know this, so they immediately leave the bunkers and pour metal crossbows at the Undead below.

"Someone fell off the wall!" A loud roar spread across the ice wall. Normally, it would be nothing if a soldier fell off the ice wall in such a cruel war. However, this was not the case.

This is not the case. Once a soldier falls from the ice wall, the nearby soldiers will immediately use crossbows to shoot the soldier who falls from the wall. This is to help reduce the pain of comrades. Being captured alive by the undead is too horrible. It is not the treatment that intelligent life should suffer.

More than a dozen crossbows were aimed at the "soldier" who fell off the wall.

"Captain!" Hundreds of soldiers roared at the edge of the ice wall. It was obvious that the person who fell down the ice wall was an officer of high rank.

A young soldier swallowed. He did not shout like the other soldiers because he clearly saw that his superior jumped off the ice wall on his own initiative.

call!
Blue-white flames gushed out from the captain who fell off the wall. The crossbowmen who were aiming at him immediately turned around and no longer paid attention to the captain who fell off the wall, because he was a holy warrior.

With a loud bang, the captain fell to the ground. The large amount of snow around him melted, revealing the wet ground. But the next moment, the moisture in the soil was evaporated by the high temperature, and the ground within a hundred meters around him began to crack.

At this moment, on the Wall of God, dozens of contractors were fighting hard among the crowd.

Some of them were beggars and had no way to negotiate smoothly with others, so they had to choose to start as an army.

In this way, at least there will not be too much shortage of supplies.

The only problem is that this damn place is too dangerous.

At this moment, Heslet was wearing armor and standing on the Wall of God, looking at the Undead charging below with a look of disdain on his face.

"It just so happens that the king has ordered the capture of some Undead Lords, and I was worrying about where to find them. Since you have come to my door, I won't be polite." Behind Heslet stood several of the kingdom's strongest holy warriors.

Their only mission is to capture the dead king to make medicine for the old king. (End of this chapter)
