Infinity Armament Vol 1 Chapter 6

Anna couldn’t believe her eyes.

The moment Shen Yi entered the church, she was ready to watch him being chased away by the townspeople, or simply be tied up and imprisoned.
She had even started planning how to rescue him from prison.
But she actually saw him being respectfully escorted out of the church.
No,, there was an exception.

Gasken glared at Shen Yi and said, “You can deceive others, but you can’t fool me. I know there are some people in this world with special abilities, but that doesn’t mean anything…”

“Indeed,” Shen Yi smiled and replied, “Everyone’s special abilities are G.o.d’s gift. G.o.d hoped that these people can spread his glory, but some people have embarked on the wrong path. They’re the main enemies of G.o.d, they are the forces of evil, and they will eventually be destroyed. Some people hide themselves, like a pearl in the dust, not living up to the Lord’s gift. I’m only a man who responded to G.o.d’s calling to embrace the light and dispel the darkness. You may not believe that I’m a messenger of G.o.d, but that’s not important, the real important thing is that I follow the holy righteousness and obey G.o.d’s calling. I’ve had guidance from G.o.d, in the name of G.o.d, I’ve do things as best as I can.”

Gasken looked at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi whispered to his ear, “The reason you know that a lot of people have a special ability, is because you have one, haven’t you? But you never did your duty. If you still don’t use this gift to face life, you could never hope to get Anna’s favor. ”

This sentence made Gasken numb.

It had to say, Appraisal was indeed a good skill.

Shen Yi successfully built a mysterious, omniscient figure in the minds of the townspeople; with the effect of Despicable Healing Arts, some of the townspeople had come to believe Shen Yi was the messenger of G.o.d.

After successfully establis.h.i.+ng credibility, Shen Yi went back to Anna’s house. Anna pulled Shen Yi’s arm and asked, “Tell me, how did you do it?”

“What do you mean?” Shen Yi pretended to be a fool.

“Of course, changing people’s impression of you! G.o.d, I’ve never seen anyone that could completely change his impression on people’s minds in an hour’s time! They started respecting you!”

Shen Yi smiled, “Don’t believe too much in the things you saw Anna. No one can fully get the respect of others within an hour, even if you saved his life. The true respect is an understanding and admiration from the inner heart. It takes time to acc.u.mulate, rather than a short-term act by a person. The one the people from this town respect is not me, but G.o.d. I just borrowed his name to help me, nothing more.”

Anna looked at him puzzled, “It’s amazing, but… why did you do that?”

“Because we have to deal with Count Dracula.” Shen Yi said seriously, “The Valerious family failed to eliminate the vampire for hundreds of years, because your family always attempted it alone. You should unite all forces that can be united, and then go fight. ”

“It’s not that we don’t want to, but that we can’t!” Anna shouted, “As you see, people here are afraid to die, they don’t want to help my family, they prefer to live under evil forces!”

“That is because you and your family don’t know humanity, don’t understand the art of leaders.h.i.+p. You want to know how to make people be willing to die for you?” Shen Yi asked Anna.

Anna shook her head at a loss.

Shen Yi whispered softly, “First of all, give them hope.”

“Hope?”

“Yes.”

Shen Yi smiled and said, “Tips of leaders.h.i.+p: the first and foremost thing is giving them hope; next is making people look at you with awe, which contains two things: respect and fear…”

“Your commitment to give people hope, thus controlling them. This is respect!”

“Show them that you’re stronger with an example. This is fear!”

“With holy signs, in the name of G.o.d, you can increase your regalness.”

“Show your power, destroy an enemy as a warning and you can establish confidence.”

“With the confidence and fear people have in you; with the commitment and hope you give them, they will obey your leaders.h.i.+p, follow your footsteps, even if you tell them to die, they will have no regrets. Just let them see the light’s existence, they will even stand up on their own to fight!”

“With a sword in one hand, and G.o.d in another hand, this is the eternal rule of leaders.h.i.+p. Unfortunately, the Valerious family only knew about holding the sword.”

Shen Yi’s words gave Anna a startle. She never thought in her family’s confrontation with the vampires, there would be such a huge shortage. Not to mention her, even the other adventurerswhen undergoing Van Helsing mission world, would never thought to mobilize townspeople to resist.

Shen Yi didn’t know if this was in accordance with the desires of the b.l.o.o.d.y City, but he knew one thing: everything which wasn’t clearly expressed in the law but would benefit you was worth trying.
Whether on Earth or in this world, it’s always right.
As long as it’s necessary, he wouldn’t mind tying the whole townspeople of Transylvania to his chariot.

Anna thought for a while, then trembling, said, “To do so, a lot of people will die.”

“G.o.d is here, so death is not that terrible.” Shen Yi smiled.

“So, are you sure you’ll be able to convince the townspeople to kill Dracula?”

“No, It’s still not enough,” Shen Yi immediately replied, “They just accepted me. I still need time to consolidate and strengthen their faith in me…”

“How are you going to strengthen their faith in you?”

Shen Yi did not answer.

He quickly went to the corner of the hall and drew a cross sword from above the weapons rack.

b.l.o.o.d.y Crest prompted:

“Baptized Cross Sword – Damage: 5-12, deals 20 additional damage to undead creature, Non-Rewarded item, cannot be taken out of this world.”

Shen Yi’s fingers moved along the sharp tip of the blade, he said in a cold tone, “First, get rid of the other minions of Count Dracula.”

Outside the town of Transylvania the night was quiet. Almost everyone was already asleep.

In a place 1500 meters away from the town, there is a small forest, this is the trolls’ camp.

Trolls and Werewolves were Count Dracula’s minions.

These trolls were about the size of a dwarf, their face were veiled, their hands held a large axe, on their waist there was a small axe, and their walk was unsteady. They seemed to be no threat, but they were actually the most heinous minions of Count Dracula. Like the werewolves, they’re also undead. They are violent, cruel, and viewed killing as a hobby.

Sneaking quietly along one side of the woods, Shen Yi and Anna carefully came close to the group of trolls. Several trolls were patrolling around the camp. In the middle of the trolls, there was a troll with a tall stature, dressed in a red cape, wearing a mask, and holding a large axe while frequently calling other trolls. It should be the troll leader.

After his attributes increased, Shen Yi’s vision was greatly enhanced and even in the night he could still see clearly from afar. Shen Yi aligned with one of the trolls and quietly used Appraisal.

Above that troll’s head, a screen showed:

“Troll soldier – Attack damage: 7-15. Defense: 2. HP: 50. No skills. Undead creature, Holy-type attacks cause additional damage. Strength type. No weak points. Good at throwing axe.”

These troll soldiers, from the point of view of power, except for having no weak points, in all aspects were much worse than werewolves. No wonder the Main Task 2 rewarded only 500 BP. But the problem was that in the camp there was a large number of trolls, their numbers were in the dozens.

This invisible increase of difficulty, made people feel a bit of a headache.

“There are more than 50 trolls.” Anna said looking little worried for Shen Yi, “There are too many, how are you going to do it?”

When Shen Yi told her that he wanted to kill the troll leader, she was really frightened. Although she had been adhering to Valerious family’s oath, vowing to eliminate all undead creatures following the vampire as the mission of her life, she was clearly aware of how though these undead were, after many years of fighting them.

After she saw the amount of trolls were more than 50, she was relieved – subconsciously, she hoped that Shen Yi would give up this hard mission.

But Shen Yi replied, “So the first things we have to do is split them, at least by half.”

He had no intention to give up.

“How are we going to split them?”

Shen Yi whispered a few words. Anna raised her eyebrows and said, “How can you know that the troll leader will divide his forces? If it doesn’t, what do we do?”

“It has to divide, because it’s the leader. As a leader, something must be done.” Shen Yi answered.

“I don’t believe you.”

“Then do you want to make a bet?” Shen Yi asked.

“What bet?”

Shen Yi thought, then replied, “If I win, you promise me one thing. Rest a.s.sured, it’s not very difficult for you to do, how about it?”

Anna was shocked, then she smiled, “Well, I promise you.”

She looked graceful, but in her eyes there is a strange light.

Shen Yi hesitated, he immediately knew that she misunderstood. But since there was no objection, he didn’t bother to explain.

A troll sentry was patrolling outside the camps. Not far from it, suddenly a sound of branches being broken echoed. The troll sentry heard the sound, looked toward that direction, but saw that not far from it, a silver coin was sparkling on the ground. The troll went over to look at that silver coin, whispered something, and then suddenly took a handful of soil to cover the silver coin.
Undead always had great resentment to anything with silver. Weapons made from silver may even increase the damage to them. When these silver items are not in the form of weapon, the undead will try to conceal it, it’s pure instinct.

After covering the silver coin, the troll sentry found that not far from it there is another silver coin. Obviously, this troll’s IQ is not high, it again went over to bury it. When it buried the seventh silver coin, a cross sword was suddenly thrusted and quickly cut its throat, black rotting blood splashed, then the troll heavily fell to the ground.

Shen Yi’s shadow appeared from behind a tree, watched all the buried traces over the way, and shaked his head. Giving a wry smile to Anna, he said, “If we try to bait a person, he will choose to pick up the money. Same situation, with different people, make different choices, but the end result is the same… very interesting, right?”

Anna gave him a supercilious glare.

Shen Yi carried the troll’s corpse, then ran toward the river.

Ten minutes later, the trolls finally found out that one of their patrols was missing. They began clamoring loudly and went around looking for the missing patrol. After looking for a long time, they discovered the missing troll dead in the river’s bank.

This discovery made the group of trolls extremely angry. The trolls went out with all their forces, leaving only an empty camp guarded by only two troll soldiers.

“Hey, you!” Shen Yi suddenly appeared from behind a tree. Along with his shout, his gun let out a little smoke.

A troll fell down.

Another troll soldier was about to throw out his axe, when a sharp cross swords pierced his back. The troll s.h.i.+vered for a while, then fell dead.

“What do we do now?” Drawing the cross sword out of the corpse, Anna asked Shen Yi.

Shen Yi stroked his gun and coldly said, “Wait for them to come back, then… kill!”
