Chapter 13, pages 67-8
P.S.: This chapter is extremely dark; read with caution.
After being knocked unconscious by Lynch's elbow to the back of the head, Merlin had a very strange dream. In the dream, the young master Charles, whom she admired, tied her up and hung her in mid-air, doing some shameful things to her!
Just as Merlin was immersed in that beautiful and expectant dream, a sudden tearing pain entered her mind.
As an elite assassin, Merlin actually had a very high pain tolerance. Even if she were slashed a few times, she wouldn't necessarily wince. However, this tearing sensation, which wasn't intense for Merlin, suddenly made her feel a pang of discomfort, as if something precious had been taken away from her. Instinctively, Merlin opened her eyes.
The next moment, Merlin's slightly opened eyes widened in shock! Her pupils contracted to the size of pinholes! What appeared before her was a man's face, and she was indeed bound and suspended in mid-air, just like in her dream, in a rather unusual position! Her legs were spread wide in a kneeling position, her hands were bound to her ankles, and even every finger was tightly bound, leaving her no room to move. She was leaning backward, feeling extremely uncomfortable!
What she found even more unacceptable was that she was not wearing any clothes, and the man in front of her was holding her waist, attacking her in mid-air. Due to the limited visibility, Merlin could not see what weapon Lin Qi was using to attack the area between her legs, but the tearing pain quickly brought her back to her senses and made her realize what was happening!
Her precious first time! The first time she was supposed to give to Master Ciel was forcibly taken from her while she was unconscious! Merlin could even feel the sticky fluid slowly dripping from between her legs—her pure first blood!
"Good evening, don't mind me. I originally intended to kill you directly, but I suddenly discovered that you still had your virginity. In the spirit of not wasting any resources, I took your virginity. Speaking of which, your organization is really strange. Where I come from, all the girls, when they are old enough to understand, have their virginity forcibly taken by many people while they are conscious, to prevent them from developing feelings for their first man. You actually preserve your virginity, what a good habit!"
Lin Qi also noticed that Mei Lin had woken up, and immediately greeted her with a bright smile. At the same time, he lowered his head and gently bit Mei Lin's raised breasts, and his thrusting motion did not stop.
As he charged forward, Lin Qi made some strange jokes. At first, he only intended to use Merlin as bait to lure Barudo and Finian into a trap, but when he checked Merlin's body, he suddenly discovered that Merlin still had her first blood!
This immediately surprised Lin Qi. Although Lin Qi's organization was also an assassin organization, it wasn't that there were no female assassins. On the contrary, the female assassins were more ruthless and had a higher mission completion rate. However, when they began to be confused about emotions and sex, the organization would have the senior members who had made contributions to the organization hold an annual grand feast to target all the young girls. It was a grand, rotating game that almost all the men in the organization would participate in. No girl would have any good memories of such a feast. At the same time, this would also be the reason why they rarely failed in their missions in the future.
When men are at their most relaxed, their will is weakest, and they are most careless, women are at their most resentful. At this time, almost no one can withstand a sneak attack. Even Lin Qi dared not say that he had the ability to withstand an assassination under such circumstances.
Lin Qi found it extremely strange that Merlin had retained her virginity. Logically speaking, an excellent assassin like her should have had her virginity taken long ago!
"I'm going to kill you! I'll kill you in the cruelest way possible! And I'll slice every part of you into pieces!"
After Merlin came to her senses and realized what had happened, she glared at Lin Qi with resentment and uttered the most vicious curse.
Although Merlin was an assassin, she betrayed the organization. Her reason for defecting was her inability to accept the grand banquet held before each girl's official graduation. During her defection, she encountered Ciel and Sebastian, which saved her from certain death. She was willing to dedicate everything to Ciel, but her beautiful expectations ultimately failed to materialize! They were still taken away by that damned assassin! She almost hated the profession of assassin!
"I was so scared, I felt the speed and force increasing."
However, Merlin's vicious curse had no effect on Lin Qi; instead, it worked like the blue pill, making Lin Qi's smile even brighter. His charging speed and force increased significantly. At the same time, Lin Qi whispered in Merlin's ear, "This night is still long. You can curse and hurl insults at your own pace. Don't stop, or I'll get bored. I've always wanted to do this, but I've never had a suitable target. It's really exciting to mess with someone in the same line of work! And this person is exactly my type!"
People often harbor dark and violent thoughts, but under the constraints of the rule of law, morality, and ethics, they generally don't reveal them. However, Lin Qi is different. His profession dictates that he is not bound by these constraints. The reason he hasn't done these things in the real world is because the girls in the three-dimensional world make him unable to get an erection, while this is the two-dimensional world! Lin Qi's originally dormant darkness and evil thoughts began to sprout and germinate.
Here, he didn't want to care about anything else; he just wanted to follow his heart and be happy!
Just as Lynch said, the night was long, and Lynch continued his bondage, suspension, coercion, and verbal abuse play in the secluded cabin in the woods.
P.S.: Five consecutive hairpin bends! A sharp turn through a drainage ditch! Whoosh! Whoosh! Safely through!
Chapter 14 68
"Boss, news has come from the Fifth Fortress... saying that Lulu, who was being held captive... has disappeared..."
While Lynch and Merlin were having a pleasant game in the cabin in the woods, Bolt's allied army had already regrouped. The goblin bombs of the Free Mercenaries had ultimately failed to cause much damage to the catapults and ballistae. Instead, the seven dead or half-dead members of the Free Mercenaries were hung on the seven catapults as a warning, showing Bolt's anger at being ambushed earlier.
Just as dawn broke, the intelligence from the Fifth Fortress finally arrived. After a whole night of fun, the ogres and mercenaries realized Lulu was missing and immediately sent the intelligence back.
What about casualties?
"There were absolutely no casualties. According to the brothers on night watch, no one had entered the dungeon. They discovered Lulu had suddenly disappeared when they were delivering food."
Bolt's face darkened for a moment, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he calmly asked, "What's going on?" The mercenary who came to deliver the message immediately handed the information to Bolt with a puzzled look on his face.
"Check if anyone in the mercenary group has suddenly disappeared."
"Boss, Lin Qi is missing!"
Bolt frowned and thought for a while, then snorted coldly and gave an order to a few trusted men beside him. Soon, Lin Qi's captain rushed back. Lin Qi hadn't appeared all night, and even if he was inconspicuous, he was immediately noticed.
"Hmph, this guy is definitely suspicious! Never mind him, get everyone ready to storm the city. The appointed time will be here soon. After we take the fourth fortress, the sixth and seventh fortresses won't hold out much either. I'd like to see how you guys play when I have the entire Seven Shields Alliance under my control!"
Bolt snorted again, then suddenly realized what he had done, but he ignored him and told everyone to continue preparing for the siege.
From the last fortress onwards, Bolt had already realized that there might be a traitor among his men, with Lynch being the primary suspect. However, the situation on this side was too tense, and he didn't have the time to investigate. Moreover, so far, he had only dealt with the fortress commanders and hadn't taken any major actions. The enemy was in the shadows, while he was in the open. Bolt had always responded to this situation by remaining unchanged. The reason Bolt had been able to get to where he was today was because he always went straight ahead, never looking back, and breaking through the stalemate with force. No matter what tricks the enemy played, he would go straight for the ultimate goal, completely ignoring everything else. Once he had control of the situation, no amount of conspiracy or trickery would be of any use. And Bolt still planned to do the same thing now!
Once Bolt has captured all the fortresses, even if the seven fortress commanders unite, it will be useless.
At this point, although Lin Qi was unaware that he had been exposed, he had no intention of returning to the Black Beast Mercenary Group. When Bolt began to suspect him, he had already planned to go from the shadows to the light. He had collected almost all the girls he needed, and with ten badges plus the three from the Fourth Fortress, only one badge remained. The situation was clear enough that Lin Qi no longer needed to fish in troubled waters with the Party. It was time to defect and raise the banner!
--
"Why did you fire prematurely! Do you know that because of your premature action, our brothers are now being paraded on catapults! Amu and Reit are still alive! But we can't even go to save them! It's all your fault!"
Meanwhile, the members of the Free Mercenary Group who had escaped back to the Fourth Fortress through different channels blocked Barudo's way and roared at him incessantly. Although they all knew that they were just bait and could lose their lives at any time, they were absolutely certain that this situation was not caused by someone making a low-level mistake!
"Shut up! Didn't you notice that my two companions are also missing?! There's a mole among your men! Our operation has been exposed beforehand! Can't you see that?!"
Barudo didn't speak at first because he later realized something was wrong. After firing one shot, Merlin never fired another. He waited all night, but Merlin didn't appear. Not only Merlin, but even Finian didn't return. Barudo then realized that something was really wrong, which made him increasingly irritable. Finally, he exploded amidst the mercenaries' incessant complaints and accusations.
Barudo thought about it all night before coming up with the most reasonable explanation: Bolt knew about their plan in advance, so he sent his experts to attack Merlin and Finian first. Otherwise, Merlin and Finian would not have not returned by now!
"What do you mean?!"
"You mean one of us betrayed our brothers?!"
"Our brothers are hanging there! Where are your men? We haven't even seen their bodies! Maybe you're the traitors!"
If Bardo hadn't spoken, only a few hot-tempered mercenaries would have questioned him. But now that Bardo had spoken, all the mercenaries present exploded. Almost instantly, everyone's faces turned extremely ugly as they roared at Bardo, venting their dissatisfaction. The reason why this operation had turned out this way was undoubtedly because of the shot that had been fired prematurely.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Just as the situation was escalating and the hot-tempered mercenaries were about to make their move, Maya shouted first, instantly silencing everyone.
Maya stared at Barudo with extremely complicated eyes, but remained silent for a long time. Among the seven mercenaries who were hanging there this time, the vice-captain was also among them. Moreover, he was killed by Bolt because he was covering Maya's escape. He had his limbs broken, his teeth knocked out, and he was captured alive. He didn't even have the right to commit suicide. Death is not scary. What is scary is wanting to die but not being able to die and instead suffering humiliation!
"Big sister, come quickly to the city wall and take a look! Something's not right. Bolt and his men have made a new move!"
Chapter 15 69
"Bolt's men have stopped attacking and have all gathered not far outside the city. It seems they are preparing to storm the city gate, but they didn't even bring battering rams. How are they going to storm the city gate?"
Bolt's unusual behavior immediately put everyone on edge, causing them to stop fighting and rush onto the city wall.
Soon, everyone realized the problem: Bolt had stopped the pointless attacks with catapults and ballistae, and instead assembled a mixed phalanx of ogres and mercenaries, gathering three miles outside the city gate. It seemed they intended to storm the gate, but they hadn't brought any siege equipment. The fortress gate was made entirely of metal; without a heavy battering ram, it would be impossible to break it open. What was Bolt trying to do with so few men? Was he going to throw his life away?
"kill!"
Although Maya didn't know what Bolt was planning, she still decisively gave the order to prepare for battle. Just then, a series of shouts and roars suddenly rang in everyone's ears! But these sounds didn't come from outside the city! They came from inside the city!
"What's going on?!"
"The Partirru Merchant Guild attacked the magic crystal of the magic barrier and killed our guards at the city gate! Damn it! They opened the city gate!"
The sudden change stunned everyone. When they came to their senses, they discovered that the city gates had already been opened by the guards of the Partirru Merchant Guild! The magic barrier device set up at the city gates had also been destroyed!
Bolt and his men charged the moment the battle cries erupted from inside the city gates! The ballistae and catapults, which had previously ceased their bombardment, resumed their assault! Without the magic barrier, the city walls were utterly unable to withstand the onslaught of the boulders! The people on the walls were quickly pushed back!
It was only then that everyone realized why Bolt had acted so strangely—it turned out there was an inside man opening the gate! Without the city gates blocking their way, Bolt's allied forces indeed didn't need any battering rams!
"Close the gate! Make sure the city gate is closed!"
Maya immediately jumped off the city wall and roared at the others. The most important thing right now was to close the city gate, otherwise they would basically lose this battle!
Unfortunately, after opening the city gate, the guards of the Partirru Merchant Guild damaged the bearings of the metal gate, making it impossible to close the gate again!
"It's too late! The ogres have broken in! We're doomed..."
Approaching the ogres' ferocious appearance and massive body, they charged into the city gate like tanks, like tigers among sheep, wielding their giant metal clubs and easily smashing away anyone who stood in their way!
"Retreat to the second line of defense! Hold on! You must hold on! Reinforcements from the sixth and seventh fortresses will arrive soon!"
Maya was still unwilling to give up and wanted to put up a final resistance. She knew very well that once these people lost their fighting spirit, the battle would be over. And now the only thing supporting her was the knights of the Sixth and Seventh Fortresses!
"Stop dreaming! There will never be any reinforcements! General Glev has declared independence and taken control of the Sixth and Seventh Fortresses!"
"This is impossible!"
However, this pillar of support was easily crushed by Bolt. Bolt shouted that there were no more reinforcements, and everyone who was still resisting was shocked. Maya roared in anger!
"Big sister! It's true! We just received a message from the Flying Eagle! The general has declared independence! We have no reinforcements!"
At the same time, a member of the Free Mercenary Group, his face covered in soot and looking disheveled, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and let out a hoarse, pitiful scream. This scream was so heart-wrenching that it brought tears to the eyes and filled the air with sorrow. The content of his scream instantly silenced the entire battlefield, and a sense of despair spread throughout the battlefield.
"This man isn't from our mercenary group! He's lying! He's undermining morale! Kill him!"
Maya reacted the fastest, roaring angrily and throwing her short sword at the Free Mercenary Group member who had just shouted!
"Aaaaaah! Big sister! Why are you killing me!? Did I say something wrong!? Ah!"
The person who shouted reacted extremely quickly, screaming again with heart-wrenching pain. When Maya's short sword struck him, he let out a miserable howl and fell to the ground, plunging directly into the ruins.
Maya's face was extremely grim, because what she said was true. The person who shouted was definitely not from the Free Mercenary Group. Moreover, Maya saw it clearly: although the person seemed to have fallen after being hit by her short sword, he actually fell before the sword even arrived, and instantly turned into a black shadow and disappeared! This person was clearly there to demoralize everyone!
"Kill! Kill all those who resist! Those who kneel on the ground and surrender will not be killed!"
Bolt's expression was extremely strange, but he decisively shouted and launched the fiercest attack. Both the members of the Free Mercenary Group and the soldiers had lost their fighting spirit after the Free Mercenary Group member who had shouted fell. In their eyes, everything was real, and Maya was just burying her head in the sand. The battle had almost reached the point where there was no suspense. In the end, only the Free Mercenary Group members were putting up a desperate resistance. The ordinary soldiers had long since knelt on the ground and surrendered.
"There really was a traitor among us! How despicable! We can't stay here any longer!"
Barudo was one of the few who witnessed Maya killing the mercenary who had shouted. Barudo immediately realized that the Free Mercenary Group was indeed the problem. He decisively jumped off the other side of the fortress wall, killed two mercenaries blocking his way with a pistol, and then dashed into the nearby dense forest at top speed. Neither the Black Beast Mercenary Group nor the ogres chased after Barudo. Judging from his skills, which he had just displayed, he was definitely a tough opponent; whoever went up against him would die.
However, at that moment, a mercenary wearing the Black Beast Mercenary Group badge caught up with them at an even faster speed!
Chapter 16 70
Without a doubt, the black beast mercenary who chased Barudo into the dense forest was Lynch. Not only the black beast mercenary who chased after him, but also the member of the Free Mercenary Group who had previously called for the general's independence was Lynch. Lynch was getting impatient, so he helped Bolt out and deliberately revealed the flaw. He believed that with Barudo's abilities, he would definitely discover the flaw.
Just as Lynch had predicted, Barudo, after mistakenly believing that something had happened to the Free Mercenary Group members, decisively chose to retreat. Lynch, on the other hand, changed into the Black Beast Mercenary's badge and uniform and chased after him, safely passing through the Black Beast Mercenary's defenses and closely following behind Barudo.
After leaving the Fourth Fortress, Bardo headed towards the Sixth and Seventh Fortresses. Although he had heard Bolt and Lynch's earlier shouts, he still planned to go and see for himself. After the fall of the Fourth Fortress, the entire Seven Shields Alliance was left with only the Sixth and Seventh Fortresses.
"Huh?! Merlin! What's wrong?!"
As Bardo was pondering his next move, a figure lying on the ground suddenly appeared in his field of vision. The wine-red hair was undoubtedly that of the missing Merlin. Merlin was dressed neatly, her eyes were closed, her whole body was trembling, and her eyelashes were shaking. She looked like she was in great pain.
Barudo rushed over immediately, but before he could even touch Merlin, a throwing knife with a dark green gleam shot out from the shadows behind his head, aiming for his back. Even though the angle and timing of the throwing knife were perfect, Barudo's fighting instincts allowed him to dodge, and the knife only grazed his arm.
Damn it!
Barudo cursed angrily and immediately changed direction. In times of great danger, everyone should flee for their own lives, and he decisively abandoned the rescue of Merlin! However, Barudo had only run two steps when a feeling of weakness suddenly arose. Barudo felt as if he had experienced hundreds of fierce battles in one night, and he was so tired that he could hardly move his feet.
"You think you can escape? As an American soldier, your fighting spirit is top-notch, and you're the best special forces soldier you can get, but you're no match for me. Besides, I used the second-to-last dose of poison from the most popular idol in the entire city on you to catch you. If I let you escape after all this, then Akizuki Papa would truly be a name without substance."
After Bardo had become a wilted man, Lynch coldly emerged from the shadows like lightning. He immediately activated Shadow Strike, appearing directly in front of the weakened Bardo. The shadow dagger pierced deep into his heart. Although Bardo tried his best to make a dying struggle, Lynch had even used Akizuki Kozo's legacy. Bardo was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand. He died unwillingly at Lynch's hands!
After Barudo died, Lynch immediately searched the body. Perhaps it was because his luck had increased, but Lynch found more than ten items on Barudo's body. Although many of them were useless, the number was still enough to comfort Lynch!
