Life Magic

"Open the city gates! Quickly! The people from the Luo'ao Empire are behind us! Kill them!" Reynolds roared.

In the blink of an eye, Reynolds and dozens of other seriously wounded but surviving knights ran to the outskirts of Nier City, but the city gates remained closed.

"Whoosh!" An arrow shot directly towards the nobles on the city wall.

"Don't open the city gate! Don't open the city gate!" A sharp, piercing voice came from above. "Shoot arrows! Kill the enemy!"

The Luo'ao Empire's squadron stopped outside firing range, and more than a dozen of them actually jumped off their horses and charged directly towards the city wall. They easily dodged the arrows from above, and all of them were covered in aura shields.

A powerful warrior.

"Kill that mage." The leader of the dozen or so men stared intently at Reynolds. He had been chasing him all along, solely to kill Reynolds. A mage without magical power was far too weak.

Reynolds was completely powerless to resist at this point.

"Open the door!" Reynolds and his group of knights were in utter despair. Although there were dozens of them and only a dozen or so on the other side, they could tell from the enemy's fighting spirit that the burly man in the lead could easily kill them all.

"Boss, it looks like your good brother Reynolds. Should we save him?" Beibei Soul Transmission.

At this moment, Lin Feng and Beibei Bei were hiding in mid-air outside Nier City, watching the battle below.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly and said, "No need. We'll only help Reynolds when his life is in danger. Although this is a calamity for Reynolds, it's also an opportunity for him."

Lin Feng's purpose in coming here was not to change Reynolds's Fate, but to secretly protect Reynolds and ensure his safety.

"Open the door!"

"Open the door!"

The roars of Reynolds and his men continued to rang out. The enemy numbered only three hundred. Nier City had tens of thousands of troops. What was there to fear? After fighting their way back, Reynolds and the others thought they had survived, but now, "Pfft!" The battle blade cleaved a knight diagonally from the shoulder, splitting his body into two large pieces, his large and small intestines spilling out, clearly visible.

"Die! They'll all die!" the burly man at the head of the group roared with arrogant laughter.

Reynolds's men were being rapidly wiped out; in just a short while, only a few remained. Looking at the enemy, Reynolds felt a pang of despair.

"Am I going to die?"

Reynolds had many ideals and goals yet to be achieved, but now he was going to die.

Seeing Reynolds's despairing expression, Lin Feng's heart ached slightly. He wanted nothing more than to rush down and wipe out these bastards. But Lin Feng held back.

"Boss, you're really holding your nerve! If you don't act soon, Reynolds's life is over." Hearing Reynolds's desperate screams below, Beibei couldn't hold back any longer.

"It's alright, there's no danger to his life. Don't act unless absolutely necessary. Even if you do act, do it secretly. Reynolds's previous life was too extravagant and wasteful, which was detrimental to his cultivation. It's good to use this ordeal to temper his character," Lin Feng said in a low voice.

A group of nobles on the city wall were surrounding a middle-aged nobleman with a pale face.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"Don't be afraid, Your Highness, the enemy can't break through."

The middle-aged nobleman surrounded by the crowd gradually looked better. This man was none other than Prince Yulin, the younger brother of the current emperor and the Controller of the entire Southeast Province.

Prince Yulin was unambitious, but he and His Majesty Joanne were brothers, and His Majesty Joanne doted on his younger brother. Prince Yulin thoroughly enjoyed this life.

He knew that the O'Brien Empire and the Luo'ao Empire had not fought a major war for more than a decade. So he became interested and said he wanted to come and see this border city. As soon as he did, all the nobles in the entire Nier City flocked to him.

But who would have thought that just as he was talking about the empire's strength from the city wall, an arrow was shot at him, but luckily the guards beside him blocked it.

"Open the door!" A shrill, resentful roar rang out from below.

The soldiers around them had bloodshot eyes. The enemy wasn't many; the garrison in Nier City could easily kill them if they broke out. But Prince Yulin forbade them to open the city gates.

"Your Highness, there aren't many enemies below. Please allow me to lead men to kill them," an officer pleaded.

"Bullshit!" Prince Yulin pointed at his nose and cursed, "What do you know? Can't you see several hundred enemy soldiers in the distance?"

"But Your Highness, we have 30,000 soldiers in our Nier City," the officer retorted.

Prince Yulin sneered, "It's getting dark, and the grass is so tall in the distance. Who knows how many enemies are hiding outside? Don't you think about it? These few hundred men dare to come here without any support? It's not worth shedding more blood for a few dozen imperial soldiers."

Prince Yulin spoke with an air of grandeur and majesty.

"But Your Highness," the officer said, both amused and exasperated. This Prince Yulin clearly didn't understand military matters. With the fortifications of Nier City, and 30,000 soldiers stationed there, even if the enemy came with 100,000 men, they wouldn't be able to break through easily.

Our side is merely tasked with killing the enemies below the city walls, not with pursuing them.

Prince Yulin touched his forehead; it was covered in cold sweat.

"Just a few dozen soldiers? They can die if they want. I don't want my life threatened in the slightest," Prince Yulin thought to himself. He immediately gave a stern order, "Remember, do not launch any attacks without authorization. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless if anything happens."

"Your Highness, the leader of the men below seems to be Reynolds," someone suddenly said.

"Which Reynolds?" Prince Yulin frowned.

"Reynolds, a direct descendant of the Dunstan Clan."

"The Dunstan Clan?" Prince Yulin frowned, then smiled nonchalantly, "To die for the Empire is an honor for their family members. Besides, the Dunstan Clan is a large family; what does the death of one of their members matter?"

Prince Yulin didn't care at all.

"That Prince Yulin is a real piece of work. He was scared by just a dozen or so men. Boss, let me go and kill this dog of a prince." Beibei stared at Prince Yulin on the city wall, her face full of indignation.

"Don't worry, since Prince Yulin won't open the city gates for my brother, his life is about to end. Once this matter is over, I will take his life." Lin Feng glanced at Prince Yulin and said calmly.

He didn't care about the life or death of a prince. Even if it were His Majesty Joanne of the O'Brien Empire, he wouldn't hesitate to kill Lin Feng if he angered him.

"Open the city gates!" After that shrill cry rang out, there were no more screams outside the city.

Reynolds's body went limp and he collapsed at the corner of the city wall. An arrow was lodged in his shoulder, and a terrible wound gushed blood from his chest.

At this moment, Reynolds was already unconscious.

Seeing Reynolds's miserable state, Lin Feng felt a pang of pity. With a casual wave of his hand, several barely perceptible green specks of light flew towards Reynolds's wound below, instantly merging into it.

The wounds on Reynolds's shoulder and chest, which had been bleeding profusely, gradually stopped bleeding and began to heal as the green light spots merged into them.

"Boss, I thought you were really good at keeping your composure, but I didn't expect you to finally make a move." Beibei said with a grin. With Beibei's sharp eyes, she could naturally see that Lin Feng had just used Life Magic to help Reynolds stop the bleeding and heal his wounds.

When it comes to healing, Life Magic is undoubtedly number one. Even light magic pales in comparison.

Having already grasped the Life Law to the point of reaching the bottleneck of godhood, Lin Feng naturally also knew how to use Life Magic.

"Captain?" Reynolds's armor gave away his identity.

The burly man grabbed Reynolds, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and shouted to the surrounding people, "Withdraw!" With that, the dozen or so men vanished in a flash.

From beginning to end, the warriors of Nier City, apart from firing arrows from above, never opened the city gates to rush out and meet the enemy.

"Beibei, stay behind Reynolds and protect him secretly. If he's not in mortal danger, don't intervene. Even if you absolutely have to, don't show yourself directly; just offer help discreetly," Lin Feng instructed Beibei.

"Why not just save him directly? Why go through all that trouble?" Beibei asked, puzzled.

Lin Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "Just do as I say, and you'll understand later. Alright, go now. If anything happens, send me Soul Transmission."
