Chapter 6: A Warrior with Milk is a God
"Young Master Yi, how is it possible for you to hold two positions at once?" Xiao Yu asked Yi Yun innocently. "Others can only have one profession, but you are not only a '24-hour home security guard,' but also a 'pharmacist.' This is truly rare; you are so impressive, and Xiao Yu really admires you.
Iyun concealed her body behind the sand dune, utilizing her profession as a "Pharmacist," then reached out towards Xiaoyu and softly said: "Basic Healing Spell..."
Oh, I see. " Yi Yun tapped her head.
The brigade consists of a total of 105 members, with the leader being the second young lady, An Qian, a third-tier "swordsman". Below An Qian, there is a group of twenty-one second-tier "guards" who are maids. Additionally, there are three maids whose profession is "scout", responsible for reconnaissance and lookout duties for the brigade. These twenty-some individuals constitute the entire combat strength of the brigade. Furthermore, there are ten first-tier "traveling merchants" in the brigade, a profession related to daily life, which possesses little combat capability, primarily focused on trade. The remaining members are "ordinary people" without any profession. Approximately one-quarter of the brigade's members possess a "profession", but it is uncertain whether this is considered strong or weak in this world.
At the very least, you should organize your dozens of subordinates into groups, forming teams or squads, with a few individuals in each group to engage in combat, which would significantly improve efficiency
She was overjoyed: "Ah, it must be Young Master Yi who has come. He is hiding in the shadows to help me heal, how wonderful."
The scout girl hurried to An Qian's side and said, "Second Miss, it's not good... The pursuers sent by the King of Yu are almost upon us. I used my skill 'Long View' to scout their situation; there are about thirty of them, and they are less than three miles away from us. If there are any scouts among their ranks, they have surely spotted us as well."
Iyun was hiding behind a sand dune, observing. He noticed that the soldiers were wearing uniforms very similar to those of the Ming Dynasty. Among the soldiers, there was a general who was clearly wearing the Wen Shan armor from the Ming period. This general held the rank of a third-tier blue "military officer" and was accompanied by thirty first-tier red "soldiers." They were engaged in battle with An Qian and her twenty-one "guards" and three "scouts."
What a bizarre thing! Yi Yun broke into a sweat.
She glanced at Yiyun, seemingly wanting to invite him to join her, but after a moment's thought, she sighed and decided against it. After all, Yiyun was an outsider; if he were to oppose Prince Yu on her behalf, it would be tantamount to opposing the court, making him a wanted criminal throughout the entire Great Meng Kingdom. She did not wish to drag Yiyun into this predicament.
As Yi Yun and An Qian's figures disappeared behind the sand dunes, he told a lie to the traveling merchants beside him and stealthily followed them. Although he did not understand the military tactics and fighting in this world and could not offer any suggestions, it was still no problem to secretly cast a few "Basic Healing Spells" for the girls from a distance. Any help he could provide would be worthwhile
Pursuers?" Yi Yun was greatly astonished, and then suddenly realized: this An Qian has already been promised to Zhu Yun, and her running away from home is indeed an act of fleeing from marriage. It is entirely reasonable for Prince Yu to feel embarrassed and send someone to bring her back.
The skill of "Guardian": Shield Strike, which deals significant damage to a single enemy and knocks the enemy back
Yiyun originally intended to stay in the camp and wait for An Qian and the others to return after finishing their tasks. However, now he feels a bit uneasy. Is it really okay to let such a person go out and fight? If something happens to her, the hard-earned "home" that provides me with stability and security would be lost again. No, a home is essential for a homebody; protecting one's home is the mission of a homebody! As a "24-hour home security guard," I must ensure the safety of my home; otherwise, I would not be worthy of this great profession. No, a home is essential for a homebody; protecting one's home is the mission of a homebody! As a "24-hour home security guard," I must ensure the safety of my home; otherwise, I would not be worthy of this great profession
Xiao Yu burst into laughter: "Ha, this is great, now I am invincible." She raised her sword and shield and charged towards the next enemy.
An Qian and the opposing general were locked in a fierce battle, with sword energy and spear shadows intertwining. Both sides continuously shifted their positions. However, Yi Yun was too anxious to observe closely; he scanned the battlefield with keen eyes, searching for any injuries among his own side.
The two soldiers besieging her were overjoyed, intensifying their assault, and it seemed that they were about to defeat Xiaoyu.
A green light bar appeared above his head ... ... gradually shortening from right to left ... ... ... the progress bar has begun ...
There is no scenery to behold all around, only endless yellow sand. Yiyun's mood is not very good. Indeed, staying at home is the best course of action; going out only means eating sand and wind. This life is truly unbearable
Yiyun: "... ..."
Two spear-wielding soldiers flanked Xiao Yu, who held a small wooden shield in her left hand and swung a longsword with her right to fend off the two attackers. Outnumbered, she found herself in a desperate situation, and in a moment of carelessness, the tip of a spear grazed her left forearm, leaving a long gash that bled onto the sandy ground. Her left arm immediately fell limp, weakened and barely able to support the wooden shield she was holding, which nearly slipped from her grasp
The scorching sun bakes the sand dunes in the sky, with waves of suffocating heat crashing over.
Yiyun did not dare to move recklessly, maintaining the gesture of pointing at Xiaoyu, and waited for five seconds. Finally, the green light bar from hetushu.com finished reading. Suddenly, a flash of green light appeared at the site of Xiaoyu's arm injury, and miraculously, the wound healed.
Yes! Xiaoyu explained seriously: "A profession is something inherent to every individual. However, a higher rank does not necessarily mean it is more useful than a lower one. For instance, when Xiaoyun was poisoned by a scorpion, neither my second rank nor the third rank lady could help her. In such a situation, your first rank 'Pharmacist' is more effective."
When Yiyun saw her displaying great power, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh behind the sand dune: "A warrior with milk is a god, without milk is just a melon; the ancients truly do not deceive me"
This shield struck the "soldier" in the face, sending him flying backward, and he fell heavily onto the sandy ground, unable to get up for a while.
Worship me? Then you should come and recommend yourself for a pillow talk or something! Just saying you worship me is of no use. Yi Yun pouted, although you look a bit inexperienced, being just a fifteen-year-old girl, this lord is open to all.
At that moment, someone suddenly rode a camel and rushed over from the rear of the team. Yi Yun focused his gaze and recognized that the person was the "scout" girl he had seen several times before. Although Yi Yun did not know her name, he remembered her graceful figure
Another soldier was startled, completely bewildered by what was happening before him, and quickly raised the spear in his hand to thrust at Xiaoyu.
While thinking about all sorts of chaotic things in his mind, he still had to answer her questions. Yi Yun casually said: "Well... I don't really know. Suddenly, I found myself holding two positions. Maybe it's because I look quite handsome, so I moved the heavens to grant me a part-time job. However, even though I hold two positions, they are both at the first level, which isn't something to be happy about. You are a second-level 'Guardian' from mhetushu.com, much stronger than I am. By the way... how does one attain the second level? Were you born with a second-level profession?"
Although this is her first journey in the desert despite having lived two lives, the environment is far more arduous than she had imagined. The girls from the Moe Girl Travel Group all cover their faces with thick cloth, and their arms and calves are also wrapped in heavy fabric to prevent damage from the wind and sand.
Xiao Yu charged forward without regard for her spear, and as a result, the spear struck her shoulder, causing blood to spurt out. However, at the same time, Xiao Yu's "shield bash" hit the face of that "soldier," sending him flying.
Yiyun quickly cast another "Basic Healing Spell," healing the wound on Xiaoyu's shoulder
An Qian asked the "guard" Xiao Yu to accompany Yi Yun in conversation. The girl named Xiao Yu's full name is Ling Hu Yu, she is fifteen years old, and has grown up alongside An Qian as a maid. She holds a relatively high position within the troupe, being vaguely regarded as the leader of all the maidservants. The two rode camels side by side, and as Yi Yun and Xiao Yu chatted casually, they gradually came to understand the composition of this troupe
The blazing sun hangs high in the sky, and it is uncertain whether the current weather can be considered summer. The sand is scorched and hot, as Yiyun climbs on the sand dunes using both hands and feet. Not far ahead, on a flat patch of sand, two groups of people have already engaged in a fight. On one side are the girls from the Moe Girl Brigade, while on the other side are male soldiers dressed in military uniforms.
Due to the relatively small number of members in the Moe Girl Brigade, they were clearly at a disadvantage. Soon, the first casualty emerged
Xiao Yu swung her left arm; just moments ago, a soldier attacking her was coming from the left. That person thought her left arm was injured and unable to move, showing a degree of overconfidence and carelessness. Unexpectedly, the injury on the enemy's arm suddenly healed, and then a shield came crashing towards her.
Xiao Yu chuckled softly and couldn't help but remind, "Young Master Yi, you may not know due to your amnesia, but this bird is called 'Shaba Ge'. It originally grows in the desert. It can go twenty days without food and will neither starve nor die of thirst; it only needs to find a cactus to eat its fill and then continue to thrive."
Yiyun secretly found it amusing; this Miss An Qian's approach could be described as decisive and efficient in flattering terms, but in less flattering terms, it could be called reckless and lacking in strategy. When the enemy approaches from behind, it is indeed correct to confront them, but one must not act thoughtlessly. Leading a group of subordinates to charge headlong at the enemy without any plan or strategy—who exactly taught you such a reckless way of fighting?
Soon, three "scouts" and twenty-one "guards" had gathered, along with An Qian, the "swordsman". In total, there were twenty-five combat class members in the Moe Girl Brigade, all fully equipped. Under An Qian's command, they advanced together to confront the pursuing enemies from behind
An Qian furrowed her brows: "The detestable Yu Wangfu, since they want to resort to violence, let us confront them head-on. Those without a profession, as well as those whose profession is 'itinerant merchant', will stay behind and set up camp here. All those capable of fighting will turn back with me to confront the pursuing troops."
Yiyun sighed at the birdcage she was holding, saying: "Xiaoyu, this magpie in my birdcage is surprisingly still lively. What is going on? Can this type of bird survive in a desert climate?"
Yiyun was originally dressed in the attire of a young gentleman, the kind that typically involves holding a birdcage in the left hand and a folding fan in the right, embodying a dandy persona. Now, however, he was compelled to don a cloak outdoors, wrapping his entire body within it, and his face was also covered with a layer of gauze to prevent inhaling dust and sand while breathing. He sat atop a tall camel, his body swaying in rhythm with the camel's steps.
