Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

He was born to act, and at this moment, his movements, expressions, and tone were flawless.

“I will order the army to…” Actos Perroche was interrupted by SilverAsh before he could finish speaking.

"Leaving aside whether your actions will provoke the thugs and cause them to do something dangerous to Her Highness the Saintess and the elders of the Manju Academy... can your army do that?" SilverAsh glanced at Actos with disdain.

"You!" Aktos was furious, but he couldn't refute it.

“Don’t argue anymore, Ensiodis. I know you’re anxious, but don’t act rashly,” Latatos advised from the side. “Rescue is definitely necessary, but we don’t know the exact situation on the Holy Mountain…”

However, she was interrupted once again. Someone entered the meeting room to report to the three clan leaders that a large number of undead were gathering outside the defensive line.

-------------------------------------

While the other two families were quite averse to the undead and even prepared to forbid them from setting foot in their territories, the Shiva'ish family's territory remained open to the undead.

Therefore, the vast majority of players will be active on SilverAsh's side.

After the massive explosion last night, the players sensed something was wrong, and with the various rumors circulating this morning, they were certain that something had happened.

Of course, this is a good opportunity for players, since something going wrong means the start of the story and all sorts of missions.

There are even rumors that they saw Bai Ye appear in the game.

Immediately, both the in-game world chat and forums erupted in excitement. As a top influencer, Bai Ye's every move was closely watched by countless players.

So, the players surged towards the foot of the sacred mountain...

"What are these undead doing?! Drive them away! Have the soldiers use force to expel them!" As a stubborn conservative, Actos Perroche disliked players utterly. In his view, these noisy, unruly fellows were devoid of faith and chaotic, and needed to be driven out.

Now, he simply believes that these undead have come to take advantage of the chaos.

SilverAsh sneered upon hearing this: "With one conflict unresolved, you're already preparing to wage war against the undead? You really have a lot of martial spirit, Actos. Why weren't you this powerful yesterday?"

Although Aktos was angry, he had nothing to say. After all, no matter how he tried to explain, he couldn't escape the fact that his army had been easily defeated by thugs the day before.

This stain will probably follow him for the rest of his life.

"What do these alien races want?" Latatos usually maintains a neutral stance, so she is now acting as a buffer between SilverAsh and Actos.

"Why don't we just go out and ask?" SilverAsh glanced at Actos, then walked out of the council chamber first.

Moments later, they learned exactly what these guys wanted to do.

They actually... wanted to help!

“I had heard before that although they might speak rudely to Yeragand and even say blasphemous heretical things, they are not bad people. Most of these strange guys are quite friendly and like to help others.”

"Although devout believers despise them, ordinary people have a fairly good impression of them..."

Latatos glanced at Actos, clearly speaking to him.

SilverAsh nodded: "The Undead, the Undead, as the name suggests, they cannot die, which is why they act so recklessly and are not afraid of angering others. These alien races who are not afraid of death and cannot die may really be able to help us."

"..." The stubborn clan leader remained silent, but he was somewhat tempted.

After a moment, he spoke: "Rescuing the Holy Maiden and the elders should be the priority..."

-------------------------------------

"The players should have started by now..." Bai Ye stood on the summit of Mount Sheng, looking at the clouds above.

Under Yela's control, after the saintess was "captured," a blizzard began to rage and sealed off the holy mountain.

In this situation, apart from players who are fearless and whose bodies are digitized, ordinary people obviously can't play any role.

Bai Ye simply arranged for a few people to guide the players in the area where they were gathered, and sure enough, it attracted their attention. These players, who had sensed the quest, immediately gathered at the Holy Mountain.

"Next, it's your turn to perform, Yela." Bai Ye stretched.

In his view, the plan had gone very smoothly. No matter how stubborn Actos was, he had no choice but to accept the player. After all, he had made a mistake yesterday, and in his devout faith, his error was unforgivable. Therefore, he was inherently in the wrong today and had no say.

……

As Bai Ye had predicted, the players accepted the quest from the Council of the Three Races and set off for the Holy Mountain to find the kidnapped saintess.

SilverAsh also dispatched his own private armed squad.

Normally, this action would obviously attract criticism, but now the other two families don't care about that anymore.

After all, all of this can be understood as SilverAsh worrying about his sister.

"I didn't expect you to send that person... Is that the Black Knight you redeemed from Kazimierz?" Latatos was well-informed and knew that SilverAsh had a very powerful figure by his side.

“With her in charge, even the fiercest thugs are nothing.” SilverAsh said, glancing at Actos again, and said meaningfully, “Jian is a warrior from Kazimierz. Unlike the backward army here, she has seen how battles are conducted outside. Both her tactics and combat skills are modern.”

Actos fell silent once again. Just as Bai Ye had said, today he was a mere junior and had no confidence to refute.

Actos: Stop teasing me...

Chapter 102 is all about getting to the big tail.

On Mount Kalan, Yela sat on a boulder beside Bai Ye, petting a snow leopard. Bai Ye remembered that this big cat seemed to be the same one he had encountered during his climb.

"Meow~"

Upon seeing Bai Ye, the snow leopard let out a soft cry and then bared its teeth at him.

"Actually, I've always been curious about one thing: how are you able to so easily motivate those undead?"

Yera's feet dangled in mid-air, swinging back and forth, appearing completely relaxed and unperturbed by the invasion of her sacred mountain. If others were to witness this, they would undoubtedly begin to suspect that this sudden riot was a staged act.

—Of course, the premise is that he needs to know that the girl in front of him, who is only about 1.6 meters tall, is Yeragand, the Goddess of Snow.

Looking at Yela, Bai Ye smiled and answered his question: "First of all, I do have a little influence among the undead. When I was studying them, I came into close contact with them and gave them some insignificant help when they were relatively weak."

“No wonder Ensiodis calls you a scholar; it seems his respect for you goes beyond just your strength.” Yera felt as if she had been living in seclusion for too long, and her understanding of this world was becoming increasingly unfamiliar.

While her own kind began to make contact with and study exotic races from outside the Terra civilization, she herself was slacking off, disguised as a saint's handmaid. It wasn't until the arrival of White Night that she was prompted to reflect on herself, the Snow Realm, and this land.

Bai Ye had no idea what Yela was thinking. He continued, "Besides my own reasons, I also used some underhanded methods. For example, I borrowed Her Highness the Saintess's power."

“I’ve heard that the undead don’t believe in religion… Do you want them to become my followers?” Yera asked, emerging from her reflection with some doubt.

"That is impossible."

Bai Ye shook his head decisively.

In the players' understanding, even if they knew that gods truly existed, they would never have devout faith. Because in their view, so-called gods are nothing more than NPCs with greater power.

Alternatively, if these gods reveal their health bars in the dungeon, players wouldn't mind personally taking action to kill them.

Of course, even in the sixth version of Bai Ye before his time travel, no player could achieve the latter.

Gods, behemoths, and beast kings remain the most powerful beings on this land. Even if civilization is destroyed and humanity becomes extinct, they will likely be unscathed. Some gods might intervene to protect humanity, but most will remain indifferent and uncaring.

The above represents the perspective of materialistic players. As for players with religious beliefs, they would be even less likely to acknowledge the gods in the "game." Bai Ye recalls that before his transmigration, there were even some players who believed in Christianity and formed their own papal guilds in the game, even proselytizing to the native inhabitants—truly remarkable.

Bai Ye even heard that a certain Pope from the Vatican was also an avid gamer and had even joined the player guild himself, playing with the Lamb of God.

When this matter was exposed, everyone was shocked.

Very outrageous.

"Actually, compared to religious beliefs, perhaps those immortals are more interested in the Holy Maiden herself," Bai Ye answered Yera's question.

When Bai Ye issued the mission, he also sent out a photo of Saintess Enya.

After that, Ms. Enya's pictures spread like wildfire on the forum.

Bai Ye casually flipped through the pages and was able to see the players generating electricity below the video.

[A cat with no emotions but a wise mind: I understand the logic, but why is her tail so big?]

[Ayashi Nene is the best in the world: Slit nun dress hso]

[NyaPas: This tail is so cute! Can I touch it?]

[The Northern Black Steed is the Best in the World: Why Does White Night Have No Tail?]

[Luo Tianyi catches a ghost: Because Bai Ye is my daughter.]

Although the comments section was incredibly outrageous, it didn't dampen players' interest in the Saintess, after all, she was a very novel character.

Especially when the saintess hugs her tail, looking at you with a pitiful and aggrieved expression...

"Oh, you took a great photo!" Yela took the terminal Bai Ye handed her, looked at the photo Bai Ye had deliberately taken, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in praise.

“Miss Enya’s acting skills are excellent. I only gave her a few pointers, and she grasped the knack,” Bai Ye said with a smile.

Although doing so might offend SilverAsh.

However, it's possible that the Saintess was deliberately trying to annoy SilverAsh.

……

Just as Bai Ye and Yela continued their conversation, his terminal suddenly rang.

Bai Ye almost thought it was SilverAsh coming to confront him, but when he opened it, he found it was Black Knight Mace.

"Miss Jian, what's wrong?" Bai Ye asked.

Jian's standard mature and sophisticated voice rang out from the other end of the communication: "Enciodes sent me over as well."

"??" Bai Ye was immediately filled with questions.

He frowned and asked, "The people of Snow Realm should know your strength, right? You've already made your move, there's no need for this act anymore. Why do we need the Undead? Once you make your move, no one here can stop you."

The Black Knight was invincible in the Kazimierz Knights' Arena. Although he began to retire after arriving in the Snowlands, his martial arts skills never declined.

At the very least, the strongest weapon that SilverAsh bought back was probably Yera, the inhuman god from the snowy realm, and Enya, the saintess whose power limit was unknown due to her godhood.

“Yes, I know… So, Bai Ye, you have to get involved in this play too,” Jian said with a smile.

"Me?" Bai Ye laughed. "I'm just an ordinary scientist and messenger. I don't have their power. How can I act as your opponent?"

"Well, there's no other way. Ensiodis sent me, probably to test you out. Hmm, as for me personally, I'm quite interested in you too." Jian didn't believe Bai Ye's words at all.

That might work if you tried to fool someone else.

Bai Ye sighed: "Tell me your location, I'll be right there."

Bai Ye thought everything was settled, but he didn't expect he would have to take action himself.

Byakuya changed his clothes and then found a Noh mask in his inventory. It was a gift from Hoshiguma, a gift from the Eastern Country.

Donning the mask, Bai Ye leaped down the mountain.

Chapter 103 The Long-Awaited Battle

When Bai Ye arrived at the foot of the sacred mountain, he encountered Miss Jian, who was catching up with him.

The Black Knight held a standard longsword in his hand, with two maces hanging from his waist.

This is also the origin of her codename in the snowy landscape.

At the foot of the mountain, the Columbia John Gang mercenaries, who had been used as scapegoats and discarded by Bai Ye and his group, had all fallen. Meanwhile, the search and rescue team composed of players had begun climbing up the mountain.

Seeing this, Bai Ye stopped Jian, who also wanted to go up the mountain, at the foot of the mountain.

"Thugs, hand over the Holy Maiden, or they will suffer the same fate as you!" Jian quickly got into character, drawing her longsword and pointing it at Bai Ye.

"If you want the saintess, defeat me first."

Bai Ye was wearing a Noh mask, otherwise he would definitely have burst out laughing, since the performance was quite awkward. However, there were quite a few onlookers at the foot of the mountain, which was a perfect opportunity to openly block the mace.

Thinking this, Bai Ye drew his one-handed sword "Arc Light" from behind his back, then twirled the sword and pointed the tip at the mace.

"boom--"

With a loud explosion, Jian's leg slammed into the ground, and using the force, she charged straight at Bai Ye.

"Huh?! Are you serious?"

Bai Ye originally thought he only needed to act casually, but he didn't expect Jian to get serious right away.

Although he was taken aback, Bai Ye did not panic. He immediately activated his talent, [Mind Acceleration].

In this state, from Bai Ye's perspective, the movement of the mace slowed down.

"It's been so long since I've used this... It's been such a long time..."

Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh. Ever since his last battle with the inner guards, he had basically been stomping on weaker opponents and hadn't encountered any truly strong ones. Or rather, the strong opponents he had encountered weren't even his enemies.

Unexpectedly, I encountered the Black Knight here again and even had a fight with him.
