Otherwise, you can find another savior.

Simply because humans are kept as captives and are valuable assets to the fairies, the various clans will never allow humans to step onto the battlefield.

But the northern goblins are now doing the opposite, arming humans and mixing them with goblins to form an army.

It's no secret that the northern goblins possess humans and the technology to clone them.

"No, think carefully about the battle just now, Ash?" Xijian turned around and said to Ash, "Did some of the soldiers in this ambush fight particularly bravely, or even help boost the morale of the entire team?"

Ash clenched his wand. "My husband is saying...are these human soldiers willing to fight to the death for the northern goblins?"

"Could he have been brainwashed?" Bawan Xi asked anxiously.

Some fairies are good at psychic abilities and can use their eyes to bewitch fairies weaker than themselves, and they can also bewitch humans.

"No..." At this time, Jian reached out his hand and used magic to examine the remains of the human soldier. "Even if he's dead, I can see there's no sign of his mind being manipulated."

Tetrot also felt uncomfortable: "What on earth did Mab do to make humans willing to go to the battlefield and fight to the death to this extent?"

"Whatever the reason, it shows that Mab and the northern goblins have made full preparations for this war." Shiomi looked toward the battlefield on the other side of the sky. "We must hurry to the battlefield, otherwise the southern goblins will definitely lose this war."

"But the Fang Clan has already—"

"To the northern elves, the only southern elf threat is Arling Reinecke," Shiomi said. "What if Mab, the true descendant of the northern elves, is as powerful as Arling?"

In the Fairy War, the presence of powerful individuals can determine the direction of the war.

"Then there's no time to lose. Let's set off now and get to the front lines as soon as possible." Ash shook Xijian's arm seriously. "If all the southern goblins are wiped out, everything will become meaningless."

Xijian nodded: "Yes."

Then Ash and the others returned to the car. Shiomi, who was the last to take a step forward, looked again at the bodies that were dragged to the wilderness and buried by the earth fairies.

Mab is only a match for Yaling. Perhaps the ones who will truly decide the outcome of this war... will be these short-lived humans?

The voice in his heart said so.

Chapter 60 The Power of the Heart

It would take a day and a night to march from eastern Britain to the battlefield in the west at full speed.

It would be faster if you gave up the rest.

Even if Shiomi and Ash could travel without sleep, Tetrot and Bawan Xi couldn't.

Fairies also get tired and need rest.

Especially in this period of war, mental stress cannot be ignored.

They are all life forms born on this planet, even if their nature is different from that of humans.

Of course, Xijian knew that he couldn't be impatient, but one of Grimm's crows would fly over almost every half day, so Wuning and Fujin took turns delivering messages.

The Wind Wing Alliance of Manchester was almost defeated at the first touch. The fairies who lacked sufficient knowledge of war were killed and scattered by the army of northern fairies.

Manchester was captured in just half a day.

Some of the goblins surrendered, while others fled south. Mab's army entered Manchester, using it as a temporary base for the army, intending to rest and regroup before continuing south.

As a result, the Mirror Clan, the only clan living in the northern lake area, was completely cut off from the southern fairy clan.

"Can't sleep?" Jian picked up the wine jug and handed it to Ximen. "Take a sip, maybe you'll be able to sleep."

Xijian smiled bitterly: "Who would get drunk by the wine they brewed themselves..."

"That's better than just sitting here staring at the bonfire." Ash sat down next to Shiomi. "Tetrot and Bawan Xi are both asleep."

Through the campfire and bushes, Shiomi could vaguely see their tents and quilts.

"I'm just surprised..." Shiomi took a sip of wine. "From the news sent by Grimm, it seems that there are a high proportion of humans among the northern goblin army."

"Mab specially trained the human army to make up for the shortage of numbers?" Jian still didn't quite understand the situation.

The last time I visited Edinburgh was seventy years ago.

"Why not think about it the other way around? It was Mab who realized the difference between humans and fairies, and that unique strength." Shiomi said, "I speculate that this time the northern fairies' sudden attack across the mountains and rivers was also possible because of the presence of humans."

Unlike crossing the plains and forests, the eastern mountain area is too difficult to travel. The reason why goblins rarely set foot there is that it is too difficult to travel there.

Except for a few elves who like mountains, no one has ever set foot in the eastern mountains.

"Indeed... Let's not talk about my husband for now. I've seen many other humans over and over again. What do they say..." Jian said with a thoughtful expression, "They have a completely different aura from fairies."

They clearly know that their lifespan is only thirty years, which is nothing compared to the fairies who can live for hundreds or even thousands of years. However, those short-lived humans are not depressed by this unfairness at all.

Instead, they live actively in their own different ways.

"Even though they were raised by fairies, even though they were treated like tools by fairies, they still have something that is uniquely their own." Jian tilted his head and leaned on Xijian's shoulder. "Their eyes... always sparkle like stars."

"Yeah." Xijian nodded slightly.

"What exactly is that?" asked Ash.

"It's the power of the human heart. The power of God is the brilliance of the stars, and the power of fairies comes from all things in nature." Xijian pointed to his chest, "And the power of humans lies here."

"Heart..." Jian placed his hand on his chest, "Do I... also have this power?"

"Of course." Shiomi held her hand.

"But I'm also a fairy?" Jian teased softly.

"The heart is not exclusive to humans, fairies have it too. It's just that most fairies don't care about it." Xijian shook his head.

Jian suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, and she recalled the initial time many years ago.

That feeling that was neither up nor down, elusive and even made her uneasy, might be the process of her heart gradually taking shape.

"As a fairy, you have a fairy heart like a human." Jian couldn't help laughing, but he didn't feel awkward about it.

Shiomi nodded gently: "Yes, so I think..."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Forget it, let's talk about that after the war is over." Xi Jian suddenly hugged Jian and laid her gently on the soft mattress. "Let's think of something simple right now."

Jian gently pushed his shoulder, her eyes darting around nervously. She lowered her voice and said, "It's not appropriate now... We're not alone. Tetrot and Bawan Xi are sleeping over there."

"But I can't sleep." Xijian leaned close to her ear and said breathlessly.

She suddenly felt her ears getting hot, and her body twisted involuntarily, trying to suppress the fire that was ignited in her heart.

"So... I told you no... wuuuu..."

Jian felt his heart beating rapidly.

Even when suppressing a major disaster, she had never been as nervous as she is now.

They have done this kind of intimate and passionate things countless times, and I won't be at a loss because of this.

The real problem was the sound of Tetelot's snoring and Bawan Xi's occasional mumbling in his sleep, which could be heard through a bush.

She was really afraid that she would accidentally wake them up, and then she would be too embarrassed to look at them.

"It's okay, I'll be quiet and you just try not to make any noise." Xijian pleaded slightly, "If you make too much noise, I'll help you gag."

"Really... I should have stayed away from you tonight and rested early with those two." Jian frowned and complained, but found that his voice completely lacked the necessary emotion.

In the ambiguous entanglement between each other, their clothes were gradually taken off.

Their naked chests pressed together, hotter than the bonfire beside them.

Jian knew that he couldn't refuse, but if he pushed him away forcefully, nothing would happen next.

But she wanted to deny this slightly risky intimacy, which was a stimulation of her curiosity, so she could only try her best to suppress the sound that escaped from her throat.

It was only after it was over that she hugged Shiomi's head in a vengeful manner, pulling his hair hard to express her dissatisfaction.

"Are you angry?" Xijian felt pain and came close to her and asked.

"If I'm angry... can you still touch me?" Jian whispered with a red face and disordered breathing.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xijian asked worriedly.

Jian immediately turned his face away, put the back of his hand to his mouth, and hid his expression in the shadows where the campfire couldn't illuminate him: "No."

"That's good." Xijian lay down and held her in his arms.

"Are you planning to just sleep like this?" Jian was surprised and reminded him sullenly, "They'll get up earlier than us tomorrow, so won't everything be exposed?"

"Hold me like this for a while longer, I'll help you put on your clothes later." Xijian stroked her delicate face.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Jian happily savored the aftertaste and whispered another sentence.

Chapter 61 Chaos

Returning to the west of the Great Void and heading towards the battlefield front in the northern plains.

Along the way, Xi saw fairies and humans fleeing the war from the north, blocking the roads in the wilderness so that cars could not pass.

Manchester had been lost, and the fairies, who did not believe that Mab would treat them well, fled south, either taking or abandoning the humans.

The destination of their escape was Gloucester, the territory of the Winged Clan, but that was only a temporary solution.

When they arrived in Gloucester, the goblins in the Wing Clan's territory were also fleeing towards Salisbury, the Wind Clan's territory further behind.

“It was a complete rout.”

Taking Ash and the others running across the rooftops, avoiding the chaotic crowds on the streets, Xijian rarely judged the current situation of the fairies with a condescending attitude.

"Although each clan lives under the leadership of a clan leader in normal times, once faced with war, the clan leader who lacks the power to integrate will be unable to control the situation." Ash leaned over to check the situation in Gloucester City.

Although the goblins were moving about in chaos on the streets, they were not as calm as they had been in the past few days as if they had to live their lives despite facing a powerful enemy.

After all, these goblins do not have a correct understanding of war, nor do they understand the situation of the goblins in the north.

Even if we heard the news that the northern goblins were about to rise up in rebellion, we felt that they would not be able to attack here, and the battlefield would at most be near Manchester.

When Manchester fell and the remaining army retreated to Gloucester, chaos ensued.

"Didn't the Fang Clan go to support? Why did they lose?" Tetrot felt very strange.

Bawan Xi then cautiously asked, "Could it be that the front lines weren't completely wiped out because of the support from the Fang Clan?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ash and Shiomi both showed surprised expressions.

Bawan Xi, who thought he shouldn't talk too much at this time, lowered his head and remained silent.

"Alright, alright. I don't mean to blame you." Jian smiled helplessly and helped Bawan Xi up. "Your judgment is very accurate. You don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing when you're with us."

"Yes..." Bawan Xi was a little happy.

Shiomi gave a look of slight approval. "According to the information we have so far, the Fang Clan, having joined the war relatively late, have preserved their strength and are now stationed outside Gloucester City."

"So that's why the city isn't in complete chaos, and only some elves are fleeing to the Wind Clan's territory?" Ash pondered. "There's no point staying in the city any longer. We must first reunite with the Fang Clan and Grimm."

At this time, Shiomi raised his arm, and a blue familiar bird flapped its wings and landed on Shiomi's arm.

It wasn't Grimm's crow, but a monitoring familiar that Shiomi had created using magic.

As Xi Jian stretched out his hand and lightly tapped, the jade-colored bird suddenly disappeared.

"Mab has already led his army south and will arrive in Gloucester tomorrow at the latest," Shiomi said. "How fast."

"It's probably... they don't want to give the clans time to prepare and unite, and they want to take over all the clans' cities in one fell swoop while everyone's still unstable?"

With Jian's encouragement, Bawan Xi expressed his views again.

Xijian laughed out loud: "You got it right again. You seem to know a lot."

"No, that's not the case... It's the Sage, the Witch, and Tetrot who have been discussing these things these days. I've heard them so many times that I remember them." Bawan Xi was delighted when he received the compliment.

Tetrot seemed troubled. "That's not good! What if Bawan Xi becomes smarter than me? Then I will be the dumbest one."

"It's not too late to feel nervous now." Jian joked.

They chatted and continued their journey, only paying attention to the goblins in front of them. They did not notice their traces and were busy arguing with goblins of the same clan or other clans over some supplies.

------

outside the city.

Inside the camp, which was filled with sloppiness and barely controlled chaos, Chief Reinek of the Fang Clan was discussing with the chiefs of the Wind Clan and the Wing Clan how to meet the enemy next.

Reinek believed that the Fang Clan, which had the most intact strength, should be the first to attack, and under his leadership, they should deal a head-on blow to the northern goblins.
