The Military Queen-Chapter 107 - 79: Group Healing 2
Alliance Binding is an agreement made between cooperating parties within Military Road. During a specific time, they must work together. If one party logs into Military Road, the other, as long as they are online, will receive a system prompt. Furthermore, once the alliance is formed, it means you cannot do anything that harms the other party’s interests.
Belittling the loyalty of others with one’s own cunning. Number Zero couldn’t be bothered to argue; the two agreed upon a 300-day Military Road Time duration for their Alliance Binding. Once the duration expires, unless one party initiates its dissolution, the agreement will automatically renew.
"Now we are truly comrades-in-arms. Before we take our next steps, let’s disclose our attributes," suggested Yijie, a practice habitual from his many years of military training. Before any special mission, everyone must understand each other’s status and check that their equipment is in good working order, to avoid being a drag in combat.
Number Zero glanced at Yijie and could only deduce from his military rank that he was of Colonel level. The rest, as usual, was a row of question marks. She needed to find a way to improve her Loli Reconnaissance Skill proficiency, as failing at critical moments was quite embarrassing.
"To show my sincerity, I’ll start. Physical Strength: 1000. Spiritual Power: 300, Special Skills... One: Shock, Two: Sniper, Three: Meditation." Yijie’s level was much higher than Number Zero’s. From the Sergeant level onwards, the rate of attribute improvement for every character slows down, but in all aspects, Yijie’s abilities are outstanding.
As for Special Skills, Yijie learned Shock when he advanced to Sergeant level, Meditation when he advanced to Lieutenant rank, and Sniper when he achieved school level.
Due to his personality, and his minimal interaction with players and NPCs, he had not acquired any additional Special Skills.
A person can possess multiple Special Skills. Once the Special Skill slots are filled, one can choose a priority Special Skill. For someone like Number Zero who only has one defensive Special Skill, Loli Reconnaissance Skill, it just naturally takes the first place.
After listening, Number Zero calmly reported her attributes.
After hearing Number Zero’s attributes, Yijie also fell silent.
Both had incorrectly estimated the other’s strength. Number Zero knew that Yijie was stronger than herself but had not anticipated such a vast difference.
Conversely, Yijie was aware of Number Zero’s weak strength but had not expected it to be so deficient.
With 180 in Physical Strength, in Yijie’s eyes, it was as fragile as porcelain dolls. Her Attack Power and Defensive Power were paper-thin as well. The only thing that could be somewhat impressive was her Spiritual Power, but it was useful only for her Reconnaissance Skill and nothing else.
As a superior officer, as a senior military leader in charge of the entire Armed Department, Yijie knew that one should not crush the other’s morale when an alliance has just been formed. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
After much thought, Yijie finally opened his mouth and said two words, "Keep up."
What does "keep up" mean? It means whatever happens next, Yijie leads, Number Zero follows. It means in confrontation, Yijie takes the offensive, and Number Zero dodges. It means that Yijie acts as the meat shield, and Number Zero watches his back.
After the two had left, one after the other, Ziyu in the bungalow in South City let out a sigh of relief.
The two had walked away. In Ziyu’s eyes, the pitiable look was gone. As a Goddess of the Babylon Temple, Ziyu would only bend her knees and plead under unavoidable circumstances.
"Apoli, why did you do this? You are my sister, aren’t you? If the Main God finds out about all this, you’ll be in deep trouble," Ziyu reminisced about the events of the past few days.
In Babylon Temple, there have always been two Goddesses since ancient times. During the generation of Ziyu and Apoli, the twin sisters were selected by the temple at the age of three. One was the Sun Nun and the other the Moon Nun. Since she was eight, Ziyu had been attending various events as the Sun Nun, while Apoli, as the Moon Nun, was responsible for praying to the God in the Babylon Temple day and night.
Three days ago, after the Temple had concluded its healing rituals, Ziyu, as usual, was sharing with Apoli some amusing incidents that had occurred during the daytime treatment. Listening to the cheerful stories, Apoli still wore her customary smile.
"Sister, drink this honey wine I just prepared," offered Apoli, bringing forward the wine.
Upon tasting, a familiar flavor hit. "Belladonna," the wine glass fell to the ground, and having fainted abruptly, when Ziyu woke up, she only felt a severe burn on her face, dry blood was caked in her hair. Even more terrifying, her Spiritual Power had been severely damaged.
Powerlessly, she watched herself being dressed in purple and crammed into a box. Just as she thought she would be auctioned off anonymously, the couple appeared.
"I must meet the Amoli King; the item he entrusted to me is still in the temple." Ziyu, apprehensively, stepped out of the South City dwelling.
Hitting the streets, several Patrol Soldier squads were approaching, gradually searching the homes by the street.
What was happening? Ziyu pulled down her veil as the murmurs of the public reached her ears: "I heard that the Amoli King was assassinated last night, said to be gravely injured. Just a moment earlier, they called the Goddess into the palace, and from a few days on, the city is under lockdown." (To be continued.
