Opening a fantasy anime world with the style of Mount & Blade

"call!"

Liu Tianyu took a deep breath and then put down the Ganjiang sword in his hand.

"?!"

Kreeher, whose entire body had transformed into a silver sword beam, looked at Liu Tianyu's action of voluntarily putting down his weapon with a puzzled expression.

However, Kreeher, who had already resolved to die, could not stop just because Liu Tianyu laid down his weapon. Her only thought now was to send Liu Tianyu into the arms of the gods.

"Weapons are indeed necessities in battle, but they are not the only ones. Now, Kreh, you will be defeated by my strongest killing move, the Deliberate Punch!"

As the silver sword light drew ever closer, Liu Tianyu could already sense a terrifying aura of destruction.

If he hadn't blocked with all his might, he might have actually gotten hurt. Fortunately, his special move didn't have any charging or wind-up steps.

After Liu Tianyu finished speaking, his right hand glowed with pure white light and then slammed into the silver sword light in front of him.

"Fuck!"

Just like wood facing a cutting machine, when faced with Liu Tianyu's deliberate, devastating punch, which was as terrifying as a nuclear bomb, Krehna's silver sword light, enveloped by the divine sword, was defeated upon contact.

No, it cannot be described as a defeat; this fluctuation cannot even be described as a complete rout.

Liu Tianyu's fist made contact with Kreeher's silver sword light as if it were nothing, easily shattering the silver sword light it made contact with, and its target was Kreeher's body under the silver sword light.

"boom!"

A loud thud of a fist hitting flesh rang out. Without any mercy, Liu Tianyu, like a strongman, slammed his fist hard into Kreeher's smooth, tofu-like face!

"..."

"Boom bang bang..."

Kreeh herself didn't make a sound, but then she was sent flying backward at an even faster speed, smashing an entire street into ruins before finally coming to a stop, her fate unknown!

Chapter 161 Helping Kreshchad Clear Her Mind [Two Chapters Combined]

An unknown amount of time had passed, and the once warm sun had long since set, with sparse lights beginning to appear in the city of Lanarita.

The dilapidated streets that existed during the day were completely destroyed in the battle between Liu Tianyu and Kreh.

Fortunately, it was an abandoned project that had been in disrepair for many years, so there were relatively few people there.

The number of people affected was only about two hundred. Apart from the 42 unlucky ones who were completely buried alive by the collapsed old building, the rest only suffered injuries of varying degrees and were not in life-threatening condition.

After the battle, the soldiers Liu Yu brought, along with a group of conscripted laborers, are now clearing the ruins left by the two men's fight.

This place was originally planned to be demolished and rebuilt.

The battle between Liu Tianyu and Kreeher directly demolished the dilapidated street, saving him a lot of trouble.

"Gurgle gurgle... hiccup, did you use optimization to transfer everything you saw and heard about the Kingdom of Geolar's army to Kreh?"

Inside a luxurious hotel, Liu Tianyu downed his lemonade in one gulp, let out a burp, and asked Kjaer.

"Yes, it has been fully infused, but the Sword Saint's injuries are too severe. Even though he has been given emergency treatment, it will probably take at least a week for him to wake up."

Kyr nodded, and then shared his own opinion.

"I don't have that much time to waste with her. Just use your hero-exclusive magic to heal her! I'll tie her up now so she doesn't destroy the hotel when she wakes up."

Liu Tianyu frowned, took out a sturdy and thick iron chain from his inventory, strong enough to bind a magical beast, and firmly tied Kresh, who was lying on the bed, to ensure that nothing went wrong.

His caution was unavoidable; although Kreeher was indeed currently in his prisoner's pen, but...

[Countess Kreeher, the "Sword Saint"!]

The system classified her not as an ordinary prisoner, but as a hero-level prisoner!

Just like Princess Freya, the "Hero of Arts," the system's control over hero-level prisoners is not so much different from that of ordinary prisoners, but it is also worlds apart.

Aside from being unable to attack him like a regular prisoner, hero-level prisoners will do everything in their power to escape, and their strength is not significantly restricted.

Compared to ordinary prisoners who are managed obediently by the system, hero-level prisoners are much more troublesome.

That's why he had to be careful to put the heavy iron chain on Kreeher, in case anything went wrong.

As for Freya? Liu Tianyu didn't put heavy iron chains on her, or even ropes. He just arranged for Ke'er to extract her magic every day.

After all, without magic, Freya's combat power is not even as good as that of an ordinary adult!

"Yes, use Heal on Sword Saint Kreeher?"

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's words, Kyar's brown eyes narrowed sharply, his expression twisted slightly, and cold sweat poured down his back uncontrollably.

"No, no, I... I don't want to experience that terrifying feeling of experiencing everything about others again. You... you don't understand. It's simply impossible for an average person's mind to bear it!"

Upon hearing that he was to use the healing magic exclusive to the Healer, Kjaer instantly became incoherent, his entire being filled with resistance, both physically and mentally!

"Clap!"

A hand grabbed Kyar's trembling shoulder and applied considerable force, which brought Kyar back to his senses.

“Listen to me, Kyar, since you are a hero, then you must shoulder the responsibilities of a hero. Yes, I don’t understand, and I can’t comprehend your feelings, but the only thing I know is that you are a hero!”

Since you are a hero, then use the power bestowed upon you by heaven to save those lives that are about to perish and to heal those wounded who are screaming in agony!

Besides, you wouldn't want your sister Anna to be disappointed in you, would you? A dignified hero of healing, yet you're actually a coward who doesn't even dare to use hero skills. Do you deserve the title of hero?

Also, you must remember that while we are indeed friends, we are also ruler and subject!

Helping a friend is a friend's duty, but if a vassal is a useless good-for-nothing, do you think I still need such a vassal?

Liu Tianyu became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and towards the end, he even pressed down on Kyar's shoulders with both hands, his eyes sharp and his threat undisguised.

"me……"

Sensing the sharp aura emanating from Liu Tianyu—no, it was more like killing intent—Kyar finally managed to calm down from his chaotic state.

"Give it a try! Humans will always face one difficulty after another. If we keep choosing to run away, then humanity will never be able to recover from multiple extinction crises."

Seeing that Kyar had calmed down, Liu Tianyu smiled gently and began to comfort him.

"Yes, yes, Liu Tianyu, you're right. I am a hero! We are not only friends, but also ruler and subject. If I am useless, it's only a matter of time before you abandon me."

Most importantly, I finally became a hero, and if I disappoint Anna, I don't deserve to be called a hero. I'm going to use Heal!

Under Liu Tianyu's combination of kindness and coercion, Kyar finally made up his mind. After taking a deep breath, he walked up to Kreh.

"Don't be nervous. When I find that you can't hold on with the recovery, I will knock you unconscious and make sure you suffer less pain."

Looking at Kyar, whose outstretched hands were still trembling slightly, Liu Tianyu gently comforted him.

"Haha, thanks! But forget about knocking me out. I'll just have to bear this myself! Heal!"

Kyar forced a smile for a while, then released a soft green light from his hands, which was injected into Kreeh, who was wrapped up tightly.

"Ahem!"

Before long, Kjaer was crying and spitting tears, and collapsed to the ground, looking like he was dying.

"He got dizzy pretty quickly, didn't he? Someone, take him out!"

Seeing that Kyar had fainted in a pathetic state not long after using up his reply, Liu Tianyu shrugged, then had someone take Kyar out, leaving himself alone in the room.

"However, I must say, the effect is really fast! It's a rapid recovery that can be seen with the naked eye, no, it should be said that it directly restores the patient to their peak condition."

Liu Tianyu sat on the edge of the bed, watching as the bandages wrapped around Kreeher's body fell off, revealing her smooth, baby-like skin. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Huh? No, no way, the Kingdom of Geolar's army, no, they would never do such a thing!"

About ten minutes later, Kresh, who was still in a peaceful sleep, twitched her eyelids slightly, and then quickly sat up straight.

"What have you done to me?"

Kresh, who had just stood up, stared blankly at the thick iron chains tightly binding her hands and feet. But soon, she noticed Liu Tianyu sitting next to her and shouted angrily.

"I simply had the Healer Kjaer help you recover from your severe injuries, and incidentally showed you the good deeds of the Kingdom of Geolar."

Liu Tianyu had nothing to hide and told the whole story directly.

"You're lying. You must have forced Yu Zhiyong to implant these false memories into my brain!"

The Kingdom of Geolar is the sword and shield protecting its people; it would never do such an inhumane thing.

Kreeher refuted him with a righteous expression, though her voice seemed somewhat weak.

"The people of the Kingdom of Geolar should not include demi-humans, after all, you must be quite used to things like the slave trade."

Where did those slaves come from? They must have been obtained through burning, killing, and looting. It's impossible for the Kingdom of Geolar's army to simply snap their fingers and have the demi-humans cry and beg to come and become slaves.

"...Even so, you, a vicious scoundrel who destroyed the royal city of Geolar, have no right to say that."

Compared to the hypocrisy of the Kingdom of Geolar's army, you have truly destroyed the royal palace, murdered the princess, and displaced countless people!

After a long silence, Kreeher began to refute Liu Tianyu from another angle.

Hearing Kreeher's rebuttal, Liu Tianyu raised an eyebrow. It seemed she wasn't so naive after all.

I thought that just injecting her with the memories from the original story would be enough, but it seems I'll have to throw in some more bombshells next!

Without saying a word, Liu Tianyu took out a recording stone from his pocket and started playing it.

"So, Gul'dan, what is the price?"

“My esteemed Your Majesty, it is not only free of charge, but also a great honor for us orcs that you have taken us in and allowed us to serve as your swords.”

The dark underground palace, the dim torches, and the guards moving silently in the shadows—this scene looked perfect for villains to plot.

In fact, the two main characters in the video are notorious villains.

King Prom stood before a magic mirror taller than a man, while opposite him stood Dog Egg, hunched over and radiating evil energy.

If that were all, it might be fine, but King Prom was also surrounded by fel energy, and there were even traces of fel energy flowing in his eyes.

"Look, I have assembled an invincible and powerful army for you, an army that is capable of crushing all your enemies."

Moreover, this army is only in the assembly stage. Once they are fully formed, I can guarantee you a minimum of two million men!

Inside the magic mirror, Dog Egg turned the mirror, revealing a terrifying green tide that stretched as far as the eye could see, roaring and venting its fury. Their eyes were bloodshot, like a horde of terrifying monsters ready to devour their prey.

"Excellent! With this orc army of two million, I will surely conquer the entire continent of Tyrion. Demons, demi-humans, humans, and even dragons will all grovel at my feet! Hahahaha..."

Looking at the scene on the other side of the magic mirror, King Prom laughed loudly. Just that laugh alone was enough to earn him a score of 99 out of 100 for the villain.

When the broadcast reached this point, the image from the recording stone abruptly stopped.

"This this……"

Kreh's eyes widened in disbelief. If the memories that Kyar had given her had only made her somewhat suspicious, the images that Liu Tianyu was now playing on the recording stone had completely shattered her worldview.

"This is precious footage that was recorded at great risk! King Prom intends to act as a guide, bringing orcs from another world to the continent of Telrim to help him conquer the world."

As you've probably already seen, the beast tide was endless, and its terrifying bloodlust was far more ferocious than that of our native orcs.

Once they actually enter the continent of Telrim, the bloodshed they unleash will likely be no less than that of the Dark Territory, where the Demon Lord was born.

It was after discovering this earth-shattering secret that I chose to strike first, just as I was about to be silenced by King Prom.

I admit that my actions in destroying the royal city of Georlar were impulsive, but the situation was extremely urgent, and this can only be described as a necessary sacrifice.

I have always mourned the citizens who perished in the royal city of Geolar, but ultimately, the dead are gone, and the living must look forward and fulfill their mission!

"……sorry……"

Liu Tianyu, radiating dazzling light, and King Prom, who was plotting a dark conspiracy with the orcs, were present. Kreeher's pink lips parted several times, trying to say something, but in the end, only an apology came out.

Kree was now completely distraught. She wished she could remain unconscious and never wake up again, so she wouldn't have to think about this or that.

"Clear your mind! Don't think about anything, because the more you think, the more painful it will be."

Liu Tianyu raised a glass filled with orange juice and handed it to her.

"..."

Kleigh remained silent after hearing Liu Tianyu's words, and then drank the orange juice in her glass in one gulp.

"Oh, right, let me tell you something else: I didn't kill Princess Freya."

Princess Freya now knows the ugly face of her father, so she had me fake her death and come to stay by my side.

"I hope to use my power to save the Kingdom of Geolar from her treacherous father. Would you like me to bring her to see you?"

After watching Kreehe finish the orange juice in one gulp, Liu Tianyu dropped another bombshell.

"No, no, I believe you. In fact, if you were to send Princess Freya to see me now, I would feel like I'm going crazy!"
