Chapter 27: The Refutation of the Reason (1)
A row of pirates who served as Ella's guard were groping on the plains. They hit every inch of soil with the bottom of their stone spears, and lifted every inch of haystacks and stones with their hands, as if they were looking for some hiding bugs.
"Look for more carefully!" Ella said, "That guy Dust is good at disguising. Maybe he'll be drunk and hide in some pit in the dirt. Dig him out for me!"
A pirate responded to Ella's shout and pushed the stone spear upside down on the ground and inserted it hard. Ella rushed over in a hurry and kicked the pirate's ass hard:
"What are you doing? That's my master! Not a real spy! Are you really going to kill him?"
It was almost early in the morning that Ella learned that Tesosomok and Xueqipepe were unconscious on the land more than 700 meters away from the camp. Before that, she deliberately pretended to be sick and avoided Xueqipepepe's eyes and ears, and she sneaked out to talk to Lily. However, because Xueqipepepe had taken Lily and others to the concentration camp of prisoners of war, her actions were empty. Shortly after returning to the camp, the fire was extinguished and the riots stopped. The report of Lily's attack on the camp was finally transmitted to her hands. As well, the information about Tesosomok and Xueqipepepe's unconsciousness was reported.
The unconscious group had been carried back to the camp to rest. But Dust had lost the news and disappeared without a trace.
After a search failed, Ella returned to the camp with a loss and stared at the rough map in front of her in a daze.
Lily escaped, in other words, she had completed the mission of reconnaissance. It is believed that soon after, this place would be attacked by the Pirate Kingdom, and Ella would probably be regarded as an enemy by the Pirate Kingdom. She could not help Tessomok and Hestein reach an alliance, and she could not help the Pirate Kingdom attack Aztland, and even the plan to trade here at the beginning was not completed.
Nesavalkoyotel's move to control her northward disrupted all her plans. She didn't even hold an army that could obey his command in her hand. In order not to clash with Hestein, the army was left by her near Mevara Niga. Amy was also deported by her due to physical problems. Now Dust is missing and Tesosomok is in a coma, and she has become a real lonely person.
Of course, she should still be willing to listen to the lords of the states who came with Tesosomok. But she could not command the troops to fight against the pirate kingdom, nor could she let these lords turn their guns to deal with the Sun King. The failure to ambush the Sun King said everything.
Even if it was her, she didn't know what she could do or what she should do at this time.
About the evening, Tessomok walked in - alone without anyone's support. The serious injury that Alfred caused to him, which had been incurred for months, miraculously healed last night.
Because it was too quiet, Ella didn't even notice Tessomok's arrival. Her eyes continued to pour on the map, and she shook her head while sighing. Tessomok stood and stared at Ella for a while, and threw a handful of Maquowit on the ground with a "speaking" sound. Ella woke up and raised her head.
"Tesolomok? Your injury...?"
Tessomok shook his head: "I don't know why. But I don't remember anything about what happened last night."
After saying that, he walked forward swagger and sat next to Ella. Perhaps because his injury finally healed, his steps had an extraordinary demeanor that belonged to the king.
"I've heard of everything." He said in a deep voice, "What should we do next?"
"The negotiation failed. The Northern Alliance's investigators have withdrawn. I think we will be attacked by the enemy next." Ella looked at Tessosomok, "and, it may be the main attack direction of the enemy."
"It's not me who wants to withstand the enemy's main force, but the Sun King." Tessomok waved his hand, "If the enemy wants to attack here, then we'll retreat in advance."
"Retreat?" Ella was slightly surprised. "For the Aztlans, isn't this your escape at the last minute? And Schippeppe wouldn't allow us to do this."
"The enemy is coming to attack, we retreat, that is called escaping in the face of battle. Now that the enemy has not appeared, we retreat, that is just a strategic mobilization. As for Xue Chipepepe—" Tessomomok snorted, "What do I care about him?"
"Who said he wanted to retreat?"
The voice of Scipepee sounded outside the camp. He and Tessosomok, two elf-level warriors, woke up surprisingly the same time.
Accompanied by a group of leopard warriors, Xue Chipepe entered the camp in a blazing manner. He pressed his hand on the table in front of Tesosomok and Ella, and shouted loudly: "Tesosomok! The Sun King asked us to stick here to this point, so that you can resist the enemy's attack. Now the enemy is coming here, isn't that the time for us to fight bloody battles. When retreating at this time, what are you doing?"
"Aztlan's main force was concentrated in his own hands by the Sun King, so he should naturally resist the enemy's main force. I can't resist it." Tessomok replied lightly, "You can resist Xue Chipepe, you can do it. You can mobilize your own subordinates at will, but I have to take away my subordinates and the lords of the states who came with me."
"Tesosomok!" Xueqipepepe yelled hard, "You are escaping in the last battle!"
"I haven't arrived yet, how can it be called escaping in the battle? And Xue Chipepe, have you forgotten one thing - I am the lord of Trakopanbon, and Tratoani, who is on par with the Sun King!"
Speaking of the second half, Tessomok suddenly stared at his eyes. Before he could finish his words, he lifted the table in front of him and punched Xueqipepepe!
Xueqipepepe never expected that Tesosomok, who had always been timid, would suddenly attack him at this time. In desperation, he reached out to block it, but was hit by Tesosomok's punch and rolled back several times. Tesosomok jumped out from behind the table, and the fists that had finally healed were clenched.
Xue Chipepe quickly flipped up from the ground and shouted, "Tesosomok! What do you want to do? Behind me is the Sun King!"
Before he finished speaking, Tessomok had already rushed to him. Without saying a word, he punched him in the face. Xueqipepepe had no choice but to resist. In an instant, both sides had punched more than twenty times. After a violent vibration comparable to a catapult hitting the city wall, Xueqipepepe spitted blood and knelt down in front of Tessomok.
Tessomok wiped the sweat beads from his face, turned his head and looked down at the leopard warrior who came with Xue Qipepe:
"Who would object to Tratoani for his disrespect to him?"
In the face of magic at the level of the Second Era, no one dared to speak.
So Tessosomok turned his body and strode back to Ella. Even Ella was surprised by Tessosomok's sudden change: "Tsososomok, you..."
"Is it surprising? It's because of strength. When the strength is insufficient, people can only compromise, keep a low profile... or even seek help from the gods."
Tessomok raised his head and looked down at Ella as if he had just looked down at Xue Chipepepe.
