Frillian in the Elden Ring

"I'm serious. I want to become the King of Elden, and I can't do it without support. I hope you can join me in witnessing the restoration of order in the borderlands, ultimately creating prosperity far greater than the past era of abundance. You Black Blade Assassins have been used, so don't take it too seriously."

"Besides, a new emperor appoints new ministers. How can there be so much right and wrong? I will give you protection. If there is any national hatred or family feud, please speak up and I will help."

After a moment's silence, Aurora whispered, "Can I take a look at your ring?"

The silver-haired girl stretched out her hand, with rings on her slender fingers. That was a qualification recognized by the beast, and she was willing to obey her master and let him drive her.

"Yes, it's called the Spirit Horse Whistle, and it's used to summon my mount, Torret."

It seems that the thing Melina gave him is of great significance, as so many people recognize it.

The black knife assassin knelt on one knee.

"Lord Fulilian, your generosity is the very reason you are king."

Chapter 25 Greg is furious

Melina, standing by, was astonished. How could the Faded One recruit the Black Blade Assassins with just a few words? Was this the charisma of a king?

I have to admit that the conditions proposed by Fulilian actually hit the nail on the head. Asylum is crucial for a fugitive.

Besides, she has already demonstrated her strength.

Not everyone can easily suppress the black knife assassin. These rare girls and the Death Rune can be called heroes, and they are also good players. Otherwise, how could they sneak into the royal city, kill the prince, and withdraw.

But the silver-haired girl's unfathomable power was impressive, and with the kindness of healing, Aurora, who was fed up with the life of escape, chose to join.

All are happy.

"Come to think of it, I just felt a vigilant gaze watching me..."

"She's my witch. She's in a spirit form, so ordinary people can't see her." Fulilian answered truthfully, "It doesn't matter. I'll let her have a physical body."

A casual but serious promise.

Melina's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. Even though she wasn't sure if she could recover by the time she reached the foot of the Golden Tree, perhaps she should consider a backup plan. Truly, this Faded One always met her expectations.

"Though I can't see it, I imagine Lady Flillian treats her well, and the appearance of your weapon and mount reveals your character."

"Everyone just gets what they need in return. I prefer to take on commissions."

"What are your plans?"

When this was mentioned, Fulilian revealed Bernard's previous advice, and the black knife assassin Aurora thought that there was no rush to go to Moren City, especially since the enemy with his golden tree would easily irritate the city lord. It would be better to wait for the war to dampen their fighting spirit.

As for the long-term plan to defeat Greg, she currently believes that they should gather people and gain their support. After all, conquest and rule are two different things.

In fact, Oro believes that Fulilian is strong enough to challenge the weakest demigod, but there are still many dangers in Stonewell City.

She also didn't want her boss to work all alone and then fail to exert control. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort? She also lacked the protection of the powerful, which would be a lose-lose situation.

"Compared to the resolute Lord of Morn City, the Lord of Hyde Fortress, who is closer to us, is actually more receptive to a change of leader. He is actually quite dissatisfied with Greg."

"Take it away."

"Wait, we'll pass Shuihuan Village ahead. It's a ruined village, and there's a very powerful monster lurking there."

"Then let's rest for a while before going. We all need a good sleep."

After saying hello, Fulilian leaned against the wall to rest. She had originally planned to stop for a rest anywhere on the way, but now that she knew there was a regional boss, she decided to recharge her energy in advance. She would need to get at least a whole day's sleep to justify the continuous running.

A moment later, the silver-haired girl fell asleep as if no one was around.

Aurora finally understood what it meant that those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. You do not treat your sisters as outsiders at all, and you are not afraid of the holder of the Death Rune at all.

The last person who was fast asleep in front of the Black Knife Assassin was called Godwin, and the grass on his grave is almost taller than the city wall.

"I'll take a break too."

The sunlight healing did not leave no trace. At least it made people feel that they were lacking energy. They had to adjust themselves to ensure they were in perfect condition so that they could help in the subsequent battle in Shuihuan Village.

The two of them had big hearts that were enough to keep them sleeping even in their catacombs, but a series of events in Nimgefu kept many people awake at night, and the turmoil caused by the New Faded Ones continued to ferment.

In the central hall of Stonewell City, Greg, dressed in a robe, was listening to a report:

"Sir, we found the remains of the Bird of Death in the warrior's dilapidated house. It should have been done by the Demon Sword of Burial, but it disappeared after that..."

"What a waste."

The angry tall man roared, his voice rolling, and countless arms around him were dancing, as if he was happy to accept the new material.

The surrounding soldiers were trembling with fear. Everyone knew that once Greg got angry, he would use limb-attachment technology to create all kinds of monsters. The wailing of those poor guys was endless, scaring people so much that they couldn't sleep all night.

Although the main target is faders, no one can guarantee that they will not become a target.

"I heard that the ignorant Faded One threatened to attack Stonewell City and seize the Great Rune to rule Nimgefu. Should we make some preparations?"

"Don't worry, this place is very strong."

Greg knew there was a Crucible Knight within the city, a veteran who had fought under the First King, a force powerful enough to threaten even a demigod. He, combined with his own strength, would be enough to bring Stonewell's top fighters to bear, and the city walls were high enough to keep out most enemies.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the safety of this stronghold under your feet. The key is to kill the dangerous Faders.

Fulilian's battle record made him feel a sense of crisis. After all, the tree guard she defeated still had some value.

"It's not enough for us to search alone. We need the cooperation of the lords from all over the place."

There was silence.

Several messengers looked troubled. Seeing this, Greg realized that the next thing to be reported was equally important and probably not good news.

"The largest lord's castle, Morn, is facing rebellion and a large number of hybrid attacks. The battle is currently fierce, with both sides fighting desperately around the city walls. We believe that Lord Edgar will eventually win, but it will definitely be a long battle. Will you provide support?"

"It's his own fault for not completely eliminating the hybrid threat. No need for support. We have more important things to do."

"There's also a situation at Hyde Fortress."

Greg's eyebrows raised when he heard this. How could the war break out so swiftly? He had clearly deployed troops to guard the various locations, yet the situation worsened. He suppressed his anger and listened.

"The people you sent had a conflict with the local nobles, and the person in charge, Kenneth, was driven out. So... according to their understanding, Hyde Fortress is in danger of rebellion."

"It was only necessary to monitor the nobles, so why did it become like this?"

Is he supposed to admit that he's not good at judging people? That's ridiculous. It's all the fault of the nobles and the faded ones.

"Not only that, roaming monsters have appeared in the east, frantically attacking everyone. They're acting in groups, and all those who went to subjugate them have failed. They claim to be the Fran Undead Squad, and they're currently undefeated. This has also affected the local noble soldiers. Currently, there's chaos, making it difficult to convey effective information."

"damn it!"

The continuous bombardment of messages made Greg furious.

He took a few deep breaths before he could adjust himself and carefully sorted out the situation. Doesn't this mean that Stonewell City has lost its two protective guards?

No, it's getting dangerous. If we rely on the strength of one city alone, it will be easy for them to take advantage of loopholes. After all, the Faded Ones from the Hall of the Round Table may seize the opportunity to snatch the Great Rune.

"Pass on my orders to increase vigilance, slow down arrests, and station more personnel in the eastern part of Nimgfu."

The implication is that the rescue efforts in the burning area have been abandoned, and the area has been left to fend for itself.

"As ordered."

……

PS

Thanks to the book friend Lily for the reward.

Chapter 26: The Hunter of the Deadborn

Only when you leave the direct jurisdiction of Stonewell City can you realize the vastness of Nimgfu.

Even with Torrett's faster speed than any horse Fulilian knew, it took him a day and a half to reach the Shuihuan Village area.

As for Oro, she could only keep up with her legs, but the Black Blade Assassin believed in his own abilities more, so hurrying on was no problem for him.

"There's the Saint's Bridge ahead."

Upon hearing this, Fulilian tightened the reins and stopped. It was easy to be ambushed in such a place, so she used her large-scale magic perception without hesitation, and also used the player's perspective to check to confirm safety.

"I sense a large number of Deadborn in the distance."

"Yes, there are many skeleton monsters there, controlled by a powerful monster called the Tibia Calling Ship. They first destroyed a village and then attacked others along the way."

Even Oro was afraid of them, after all, undead monsters were very difficult to deal with and they were incompatible with him.

They continued to move forward, and after passing the Saint's Bridge, they accelerated for a long distance. Suddenly, they saw a corpse in front of them. Standing next to it was a man in a mask and armor. He also noticed this side.

Black knife assassin!

No one can mistake his iconic armor and the height of his rare race, and he looks like a follower?

"Hello, I'm Flillian the Fader."

"I'm D. I'm hunting Deathborns for Deathroots. Your target seems to be the village ahead. The spread there is severe. If you don't want to die, you'd better stay away."

"It doesn't matter. I'm going to hunt them down. Allowing undead monsters to spread across the border is definitely not a good thing."

Fulilian also released a wisp of hidden magical energy, no longer suppressing it but releasing it. Because she usually tended to suppress her magical energy during training, once she released it, the short burst of pressure was even more powerful.

Although D in front of him was wearing a mask, he still looked shocked.

No wonder he was able to subdue the Black Knife Assassin. He is indeed very capable. It would be presumptuous of me to try to stop him rashly.

"You're going to beat the ship?"

"Correct."

"Please allow me to come along, because if I have the chance I'd like to observe them carefully for research, and I'd also like to help you clean up some of the Deadborn."

"I don't mind an extra helper, let's go."

During the conversation, the two chatted about information about the Nimgfu area. When D learned that Fulilian had not been to the Round Table Hall, he immediately said that he would recommend her and extended an invitation on behalf of the Faded Ones of the Great Blessing.

Faced with this enthusiasm, of course she agreed, but now was not the right time. She needed to at least stabilize herself. Besides, the Sir Baizhi that D mentioned did not seem like someone who could be easily dealt with.

So Fulilian planned to continue working hard for a while, and talk about it later after she had a stronghold.

Moreover, she needs to grasp the basic combat power level of the border area and cannot take risks casually.

"coming soon."

Aurora beside him gave a reminder. Not far away, he saw a pool of water, dotted with village ruins. It was obvious that it must have been quite prosperous in the past, but now there were countless dead borns wandering around, roaring in groups towards the sky. In the deeper part of the pool, a skeleton could be vaguely seen sitting on a boat.

They were very sensitive to the breath of living people, and immediately stumbled over, rushing towards them with great malice towards the living.

The skeleton army in the open air looks much stronger than the underground tomb.

The next moment, Oro and D attacked from both sides, sweeping with daggers and greatswords. These undead monsters were destroyed at the first touch, and quickly collapsed in the face of special means of restraint.

But they have always been praised for their quantity.

The call ship in the rear roared and commanded the army to split up into formations, with the rear providing long-range coverage with long-range attacks, while the front row huddled together to block the enemy's path as much as possible.

With the organization level, the threat posed by the Deadborn has increased several levels, and even they are struggling...

Rumble!

The tried-and-tested large-scale firepower coverage shines in Fulilian's hands.

As long as the blue bar is long enough, you can attack at will. The magic power mixed with holy attributes turns into spheres and floats out. The skeletons touched along the way immediately disintegrate, and even the ruins are bombed into debris. Everywhere you look is full of explosions.

Then she strode towards the depths, her staff moving non-stop, attacking at high speed as she moved forward, as if she was in an empty space.

That figure was unstoppable.

Even D, who was experienced in dealing with the dead, had never seen such a scene. It was pure violence!

He has a good comrade-in-arms named Roger, who is also a magician, but he can never reach this level. It’s not because of the difference in the amount of magic power, but because the difference in realm is so huge that it is difficult to make up.

Wait, is she the one who faded so famously?

There was no time to think about it. I saw that the silver-haired girl had already started a long-range fire confrontation with the Tibia Calling Ship. In the blink of an eye, the skeleton monster submerged her back and could not be observed for the time being.

D turned his attention to the present situation, knowing full well that there was no need to worry about that level.

Deep in Shuihuan Village.

Blood was everywhere, and after lighting up, several white shadows tumbled, some even being crushed to death by attacks from above. The various death replays reminded Fulilian that she faced a formidable enemy, one that was difficult to deal with.

Their character performance is so poor that they are restricted in the water.

Moreover, the wild monsters in the area are very unexpected and can easily exploit your weaknesses. Many players have paid a lot of runes here and shed tears of bitterness.

Fulilian also planted her feet in the pond. Skeleton monsters occasionally emerged from the muddy pool beneath her feet, but she couldn't even touch them. They automatically disintegrated upon contact with the corners of her clothing. It was the holy attribute that surrounded her body, forming a simple and direct protection.
