When they flew forty or fifty miles to the southeast, they saw a group of bonfires exposed by the lake.
Wild horses neigh, men laugh, and women cry.
The gondola was hidden in the dark clouds. Dulu looked at the crowd below, a flash of doubt in his eyes.
"Sir, we seem to have been tricked by the pregnant woman just now." Dulu said, looking at the group of men who were drinking and eating meat, as well as the men, women, and children locked in cages beside them.
The people in the cages, just like the pregnant women before, were only given an animal skin. Some were even naked, huddled and shivering in the harsh spring cold.
Angel said calmly: "Did you just react now?"
"The pregnant woman deliberately pointed in this direction to lure us into meeting these people." Dulu spat: "These people are not a good person at first glance. If we were mortals, she would frame us by doing this.
Into the pit of fire. I didn’t expect that woman’s heart to be so dark! She lost the fur that the Lord gave her in vain!”
"Do you think, if we fly in front of her in a gondola, she will think that we are just ordinary people?" Angel didn't care much, "Besides, from the perspective of her answering your question, she
What she said is correct, she was unwilling to answer our questions, and we were looking for human settlements. The location she pointed to was also correct, and these people can be considered human settlements."
"It's just that they have bad intentions and want to use our hands to deal with these people."
Duru snorted: "Master Pat, don't you feel angry?"
"Are you going to fly back and teach her a lesson?" Angel didn't answer whether he was angry, but asked instead: "If you want to turn around and teach her a lesson, I won't stop you."
Dulu recalled in his mind the pregnant woman shivering by the fire. Even when they fell, she kept protecting her belly. He was a little reluctant to teach a pregnant woman who was obviously in trouble.
Seeing Dulu's hesitation, Angel continued: "If she is a heinous person, just like Naya's twin sister in the story of Beauty Naya, who is extremely vicious. Will you teach her a lesson?"
Dulu hesitated even more, and after a long while he said: "I don't know... Sir, what will you do?"
"In terms of power, there is a huge difference between her and me in class. How I make choices depends on my wishes. But you are different. You are in the same class as her now. If she wants to harm you, she might actually be able to kill you.
"
"If it is true, as you say, that she is so heinous and really wants to kill me, I will kill her." Dulu hesitated for a long time, and his eyes finally became firm.
Angel smiled and did not comment on Dulu's answer.
At this time, a burst of crying suddenly came from below. Duru looked down and saw a man stroking his crotch. He came to an iron cage, opened it suddenly, and tried to put a man in the iron cage.
The woman pulled out.
From his self-deprecating movements, you can guess what he wants to do next.
The woman kept shaking her head, crying, and struggling. The man smiled instead of getting angry, as if he felt that the woman's resistance stimulated his senses even more.
But at this moment, a four or five-year-old boy suddenly rushed forward, blocked the woman's side, and kicked the man with his scarred feet.
He shouted angrily: "Let go, don't touch my mother!"
The man threw the child aside angrily, but he hit the child several times, and the child got up and tried to protect his mother. The man, who was so horny, angrily pulled out the machete from his waist, aimed it at the child's neck, and struck it hard.
Cut it down hard.
The woman was crying and yelling: "No!"
The people who were locked in cages around them had sadness in their eyes, as if something had harmed its own kind.
The man beside the campfire was laughing and joking, not caring about the behavior of his companions.
Seeing that the child's head was about to be chopped off, all the captives in the cage closed their eyes. But after a while, they could still hear the child's voice, but the rough breathing of the man before disappeared.
Someone secretly opened his eyes.
The scene that happened before them was completely different from what they had imagined. The child's head was safe, but the man holding the knife had a bloodstain on his neck.
The man wanted to turn his head, but the next second, his head slowly slipped from his neck. The last scene he saw was his headless neck, with blood spurting out like a spring, and then
The next second, the world became silent, and my mind was completely plunged into darkness.
When the headless body fell, everyone saw the person behind the body. It was a young man with bronze skin wearing a large black turban. He was holding a strange long knife, and the streamlined blade was stained with...
Obvious blood stains.
The one who saved the child was Dulu who jumped out of the flying boat.
Duru seemed a little surprised by the sharpness of the weapon in his hand, but this surprise did not last long, because all the men who were eating meat and drinking by the bonfire gathered around him.
Dulu looked at the people gathered around him, feeling a little uneasy, but the flash of cold light on the weapon in his hand reassured him a lot.
War is about to break out.
Angel sat on the flying boat and quietly watched the action below. Probably because Dulu often faced terrifying sea beasts in the past, his intuition of danger was very accurate, coupled with his quick movements and extraordinary skills, he could face dozens of people.
The attack can also be done with ease.
What's more, the weapon he holds in his hand is the Tang Dao he borrowed from Angel. Although he has not yet entered the rank, among the mortal classes, it also belongs to the category of magical weapons.
Dulu was a little timid at first. He killed the man before because of his behavior and because he did something to the child, which made him a little angry. But towards other people around him, his murderous intention did not arise.
But when he discovered that he was injured because of his timidity, he no longer held back.
When opened and closed, it became a one-sided battle. Although the physical fitness of these people was good, Dulu was obviously better, and with the bonus of the Tang Sword, almost one sword kill could kill a person.
When everyone except the people in the cage died, looking at the corpses around him, Drew took a few long breaths before slowly turning around and walking to the previous cage.
He stretched out his hand and touched the child's hair: "It's okay."
But before the child could answer, the woman from before pulled the child into her arms and looked at Dulu warily.
Dulu was stunned. He looked around and found that all the people in the other cages were wary of him. He sighed helplessly, and suddenly felt melancholy in his heart.
At this time, Angel fell from the flying boat.
"Who are they, and who are you?" Angel asked, pointing to the corpse on the ground and then to the man in the cage.
No one answered, but in the end it was the child who had been rescued by Du Lu who shouted loudly: "They are bad people, we are good people!"
His mother covered his mouth to prevent him from continuing to speak.
When Du Lu saw this, his eyes turned cold, and he drew out the Tang knife again and brought it to the ground. The crisp sound when the metal hit the ground penetrated everyone's ears: "I saved you, since you don't appreciate it, and you don't even ask questions.
Well, then there is no need for you to stay in this world."
Facing Dulu's threat, in the middle cage, a girl with a solemn expression took the initiative and said: "Two adults, they are soldiers of Hailan, and we are ordinary villagers."
"Soldiers? Villagers?" Dulu looked over. He thought these people were slave traders or bandits, but he didn't expect them to be soldiers?
"Yes, after Hailan State occupied Heiwu Province, it began to clean up the nearby villagers. Dozens of villages have been tortured and killed, and we were the ones they arrested."
Massacre? Dulu immediately thought of the burning village before. Could it be these soldiers?
"Why do they want to arrest you?" Drew asked doubtfully.
"Probably they caught us and sold us for money." The girl lowered her head and said.
"Really?" Angel was the one who spoke. He looked at the girl, "Are you really just a villager?"
The girl's expression changed after hearing Angel's voice.
Dulu also looked over in confusion. The tone of Lord Pat's speech before was not like this. This weird tone was like a whisper, almost the same as the girl's tone of voice.
"Are you a golden bird noble?!" the girl exclaimed.
"Aren't you the same?" Angel raised his eyebrows.
What Angel said is the most popular tone of the golden bird aristocracy, which is soft and gentle, and the tone is gentle. It sounds good when spoken by a woman, but when spoken by a man... Angel personally feels that it is a bit effeminate.
Perhaps because she recognized Angel's status as a golden bird noble, the girl's attitude became slightly calmer. As her attitude changed, the vigilance of others around her also relaxed.
"These people are indeed the surrounding villagers, and they are also my subjects. I am the daughter of Viscount Lin Ya, and this Sumerian territory previously belonged to our family."
"You just said that Heilan occupied the entire Heiwu Province? In the war between Heilan and Jinque, did Heilan win?" Angel asked.
Lin Ya looked at Angel carefully and then said: "At this stage of the war, Hailan has indeed won. Heiwu Province, Yuelu Province and several surrounding coastal provinces are all occupied by Hailan.
"
Angel's heart suddenly tightened. Speaking of coastal provinces, Yamei Province, to which Gru Town belongs, is also a coastal province.
Moreover, Yamei Province is not too far from the front line, and Pat Manor also provided a large share of the material supply for the front line.
Thinking of this, Angel quickly asked: "Is Yamei Province okay now?"
Lin Ya thought for a moment: "If I remember correctly, the Meng'en family is stationed in Yamei Province, and there has been no failure yet. However, it is difficult to say what the future will be like."
Angel was relieved to hear that Yamei Province was currently safe. However, the war situation was unpredictable and Lin Ya didn't know when she was captured. Maybe something happened to Yamei Province after she was arrested.
Thinking of this, Angel asked: "Do you know the route from Heiwu Province to Yamei Province?"
