After Transmigration, I Traded a Coin for a Peerless Wife and Conquered the Chaotic World - Chapter 27:
Chapter 27: The Horn Sounds Again
At that moment, Jiang Yi came over holding a steaming bowl of meat porridge. Since it was wartime and the defenders were exhausting their strength quickly, the food prepared by the cooks was several times better than usual.
“Brother Feng, drink some meat porridge to restore your strength!”
Lin Feng took the porridge and looked at Jiang Yi. This kid might have average talent, but he sincerely treated him like a big brother. In the future, if Lin Feng rose to prominence, he definitely wouldn’t forget this younger brother.
As soon as he took one sip, Lin Feng’s stomach churned violently, and he nearly spat it all out.
“Brother Feng, what’s wrong?”
Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, “It’s nothing. The Blood Wolf Army suffered a huge loss this time. They might gather a larger force and attack again tomorrow. You should get some rest while you can.”
Seeing Lin Feng say he was fine, Jiang Yi didn’t press further. After sipping some porridge, he soon fell asleep beside Lin Feng.
Lin Feng wiped the corner of his mouth—blood.
Damn it, internal injuries!
With this body, if battle resumed tomorrow, even standing up to draw his bow might be a challenge.
“System, show yourself. Do you have any miracle pills for healing internal injuries?”
[Ding! Of course, the system always delivers. One Earth Rank pill, Great Rejuvenation Pill, costs 50,000 Slaughter Points.]
Damn it! System, you’re trying to trap me with another loan?
[Ding! Due to the host’s bravery in battle, this loan will be interest-free.]
No interest? So I don’t have to repay either?
You think I can’t see through your scheme? Once I get used to borrowing, I’ll be your debt slave forever.
System, you’re sly!
[Host, do you not wish to use Slaughter Points granted by the system? Without the Great Rejuvenation Pill, your internal injuries may worsen, and engaging in another battle soon could be fatal.]
“Shut up, system! I’ll use it, alright?!”
[Ding! Host has borrowed 50,000 Slaughter Points to purchase an Earth Rank pill: Great Rejuvenation Pill. Current total debt: 190,500 Slaughter Points.]
[Ding! This month’s ‘Pay Later’ quota has been reached. (Note: Until the host reaches the Grandmaster level, the monthly borrowing limit is 200,000 Slaughter Points. Please use wisely.)]
Great. I nearly lost my life today, and instead of reducing my debt, it nearly doubled.
And now there’s a monthly borrowing limit? Are you afraid I’ll borrow too much and not repay?
This system is a damn loan shark!
At that moment, a white pill appeared in Lin Feng’s hand. It was spiral-shaped, looking exactly like a piece of poop.
He strongly suspected the system did that on purpose.
[Host, take the Great Rejuvenation Pill quickly, or you’re going to die.]
“Thanks, but I don’t need your kind reminder!”
Lin Feng held back his disgust and swallowed the poop-shaped pill.
Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good—like minty chocolate.
In the next moment, a surge of medicinal energy coursed from his stomach through his flesh, limbs, and bones. With just a few breaths, the painful injuries were fully healed.
“Damn, this pill really works! With this, maybe I can even try fighting 5th or 6th grade martial artists…”
[System reminder: Host, do not seek death. The Great Rejuvenation Pill can only heal moderate injuries. If you suffer a fatal wound, even it won’t save you.]
Lin Feng sucked in a sharp breath. Good thing he hadn’t tested it.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
He leaned heavily against the city wall, his mind full of images of his dear wife, He Caiwei’s lovely face.
“Caiwei, once this battle ends, even if I don’t become a Centurion, I’ll definitely earn the position of Decurion. When that time comes, I’ll make sure you wear gold and silver, and live a life of luxury.”
Gradually, Lin Feng drifted into sleep.
In his dream, he finally gave his dear wife a beautiful home—a huge house, filled with servants, and attendants all greeting her, “Greetings, Madam…”
Suddenly, a deep horn shattered Lin Feng’s dream.
“The Blood Wolf Army is attacking!”
Jiang Yi rushed up and shook Lin Feng’s shoulder. “Brother Feng, the Blood Wolf Army is attacking again! Are these barbarians even human? After yesterday’s brutal fight, they’re back again today!”
Lin Feng stood up and brushed the dust off his body. He turned and looked—before him was a sea of black, the elite forces of the Blood Wolf Army.
Unlike before, their vanguard this time was composed entirely of 3rd grade martial artists. Behind them stood two fierce 4th grade Centurions, one of whom was the same one who had fought Lin Feng the day before. And in the center, the commander of the Blood Wolf Army, a 7th grade martial artist, was seated, surrounded by several 4th grade martial artists.
At first, Lin Feng had considered Pan Feng’s suggestion about sneaking into the enemy camp for a surprise attack.
Now he realized how naïve that idea was. That wouldn’t have been a sneak attack—that would’ve been suicide!
“Dear heavens, the Blood Wolf Army is serious this time!”
“Look, they’ve even brought siege catapults! We have fewer than 2,000 troops left—this battle is going to be tough!” Jiang Yi gasped.
Even so, Lin Feng showed no trace of fear.
He knew that to these defending brothers, he had become a symbol of hope. As long as he stood, they believed the city could be held!
“Brothers, stay sharp! Watch out for catapults! These barbarian troops are nothing to fear—just a bunch of mindless brutes! The Great Zhou will prevail!”
With Lin Feng’s rallying cry, everyone shouted in unison, “The Great Zhou will prevail! The Great Zhou will prevail!”
Lin Feng drew his bow and resumed harvesting the lives of the Blood Wolf Army.
After breaking through to 4th grade martial artist, Lin Feng’s Soul-Chasing Archery seemed to have improved. Though not yet mastered, he could now pierce through five enemies with a single arrow.
The system’s notifications rang out one after another.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing a Northern Barbarian Grade A elite of the Blood Wolf Army, 3rd grade martial artist. Slaughter Point +300.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing a Northern Barbarian Grade A elite of the Blood Wolf Army, 3rd grade martial artist. Slaughter Point +300.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing a Northern Barbarian Grade A elite of the Blood Wolf Army, 3rd grade martial artist. Slaughter Point +300.]
The defenders, who were initially trembling with fear, saw Lin Feng knock down one 3rd grade martial artist after another with single arrows. Their fear disappeared instantly.
“Brother Feng is invincible!”
“We’re counting on you, Brother Feng!”
While fighting back, they cheered with admiration in their hearts. Their reverence for Lin Feng was beyond measure.
They only regretted that Lin Feng wasn’t a Decurion. If he were, the entire garrison would probably fight to serve under his command.
While Lin Feng and the defenders were engaged in the fierce battle, in a corner, Wang Erhu’s eyes had grown dark and vicious.
At that moment, a Grade A soldier under his command quietly approached with a dark purple bow.
“Decurion, I’ve brought it. This is a Profound Rank warbow from the Weapon Refining Workshop. Even a 3rd grade martial artist can’t withstand its arrows!”
Wang Erhu stroked the bow with satisfaction, pulled the string a few times, and confirmed its powerful tension.
Then he drew the bow, fired, and with a sharp whistle, the arrow pierced through a 3rd grade martial artist of the Blood Wolf Army.
“A real killing tool. You, come here!”
Seven or eight of Wang Erhu’s trusted men immediately gathered around him.
“Listen up. When the Blood Wolf Army breaches the wall, I want you all to pretend to be overwhelmed and leave an opening.”
Everyone was stunned. At a time of life and death, what was the Decurion planning?
