The sky was hazy, with scattered snowflakes. Although it was almost noon, the light was as dark as dawn.
The migration team is now facing the most serious threat since its eastward march. More than 800 Tanshi people and beasts are blocked outside the temporary camp. A full-scale war may happen at any time. Compared with these, what worries Valentina even more:
It's Neo who hasn't come back yet
Neo is not here, and faced with such a severe situation, he is worried, missing, depressed, and listless, just like the feeling after his father left home in the early years, but it is a little different.
Wow! Wow! Zizev, wearing armor, walked over quickly.
"I've met three adults!" Zhizev gave a simple gift to the three people headed by Xavier.
Xavier, who had a straight face and showed no special emotions, was also wearing armor at this moment. He nodded slightly to Rijef and asked: "What's the matter?"
"Three formations determine the outcome. This is the final bottom line for Tanshi people and beasts."
"Okay! We should have no problem with this!" The speaker was a young man with blond hair. He was standing to the right of Xavier. He was the owner of the Barony of Bafas, Quip Brain.
Xavier glanced at Quip coldly. Valentina wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say much. From the bottom of her heart, Valentina hated this handsome, tall, superficial guy. If it weren't for him,
Secretly sending his subordinates back to Fort Watts to get the lord's seal, the Tanshi people and beasts may not be able to block the migration team. Even if the army is approaching the city, Quip is still unwilling to admit his mistake, but blames the person who is doing it for being too stupid.
Attracted pursuers
Xavier could understand Kuip's mood of taking the risk to seal the letter, but at the same time he did not feel ashamed of his character. However, with his usual style, even if he wanted to kill the other party, Xavier would not bully others or try to show off.
The power of words, so Xavier said in the same serious and rigid tone as always: "Baron Brain, we don't have enough strong men."
Quip was startled for a moment, then thought he understood the trick, and smiled slightly, "Your Lordship, when it is time to hire people, I will invite the powerful people in your Wind Team to join the battle. I promise you that the Wind Team will go eastward this time.
All the expenses will be paid by me, just treat it as a little thought from me."
Valentina couldn't bear it anymore and angrily shouted: "Is it a big deal to have a few bad money? Why didn't you buy your life from Cordim?"
Quip shrugged his eyebrows shamelessly, and said in a tone that he considered to be a gentleman: "Alas! Our legendary knight of Erdrit, Severus, has so many needs in his life that he is needed in so many places throughout the year.
Time is running out”
Valentina could naturally understand the implication of Quip's words, which was that Seve was absent all year round and the children were neglected, which is why she was rude and angry. She was about to argue, but was interrupted by Xavier.
Xavier stopped him with his eyes and gestures, but still said to Quip solemnly: "Baron Blaine, the Storm Team is just a cover. Without this cover, when I was seriously injured and unconscious, I moved eastward.
The decree cannot be implemented. After all, our Fury Alliance has the freest people in Emera. Can you understand what I mean?"
Quip was really stunned this time, and cursed in his heart: "Old Immortal, then you are pretending to be your mother! If you had told the real situation earlier, I would have waited until we got to Sylphanis Territory before sending anyone.
Go back and get the seal, you will make me miserable!"
The rumor about the Migration Team that the Migration Team was so arrogant turned out to be a complete lie. Quip counted it on his fingers and said with a smile: "Your Lordship is indeed far-reaching and well-organized. Although I am in the Migration Team,
I haven’t been here long, but I can clearly feel the people’s support for your lordship. Miss Slode, your prestige also makes me envious, Valkyrie, tsk tsk!”
The look of wealth and self-esteem once again appeared on Quip's face, and he said in a half-charity tone: "That's it! I am willing to put the icing on the cake and give 20,000 dinars to the Lord and Sri Lanka respectively.
Miss Rhodes, I also have a small suggestion, that is, both of us in the post-disaster reconstruction cooperation agreement are subordinates of Lord Viscount Erdrit, and we should strengthen our exchanges and cooperate closely."
Quip stroked the gleaming magic pocket watch and said proudly: "Although my transport team is not as large as the Viscount's, its carrying capacity is much better. They happened to go to Asia without being damaged.
This time the disaster subsided, my transportation team can help Tures and Mashua transport reconstruction supplies for only the cost. Moreover, this is only a small part of the cooperation agreement. I wonder if my sincerity can be exchanged for the two lords to send their respective
A brave warrior goes into battle? Miss Throd, you are the proud Lord Xavier of the entire Erdrit Territory. I heard that the people in your territory are rumored to have a hero's bravery. I remember it is called Zagan, Zagan? Pierser, the guard's
Chief instructor!"
Xavier and Valentina both smiled inwardly, "Zhagen, this Kuip really knows how to choose people..."
Instead of starting the fight right away, they made a bullshit three-format bet on the outcome. The biggest contributor to this was the Morimu Man and Beast.
The forest beasts are the most mysterious Kodim in Monstock. They are different from the tribal composition of ordinary beasts, but always maintain the ancient clan structure.
There is no real evidence for the statement that the Senmu Man and Beast are the direct inheritance of the ancestors of the Kodim tribe in Mengstock, and the Senmu Man and Beast has never admitted it in public, but one thing is absolutely true. The sacrifices of each Kodim tribe have all
I have studied in the Senmu Tribe, or simply been taught there. Although the younger generation has taken charge of the world in recent years, and has been impacted by the life and culture of Erdrit in various aspects, the original quasi-religious system has obviously declined, but its prestige among all ethnic groups is extremely high.
Before those high-ranking old guys all passed away, everyone would sell some face to the Senmu Man-Beast, that is, the Blood Bone Clan, a special tribe that either hunts or kills people all day long, or purges itself internally. They have no taboos and dare to sell to humans.
The Senmu tribe has an old grudge between Tanshi and Xuegu. The leaders of Tanshi are naturally very willing to see the suffering master of the Senmu tribe return to Mengstock. It is conceivable that the Bloodbone tribe is in trouble.
Based on many considerations, the Tanshi people and beasts agreed to the ancient duel method of three formations to determine the outcome. Although the druids of the Senmu tribe thanked Neo and Valentina for their life-saving grace, at this point, they had already
After all, they also believe in the survival of the fittest. The reason why the Forest Man and Beast can intimidate the heroes is also inseparable from their own strength. If the migration team doesn't even have three decent people, it will be useless to become food or slaves.
Nothing to complain about
In the forest, behind the fence, countless pairs of eyes stared at the wilderness covered with thick ice and snow. The expressions revealed by these eyes were some angry, some calm, some optimistic, some worried, some brave, some timid...
…But without exception, they are all extremely concerned about this upcoming showdown.
In the snowy wilderness, the Tanshi people and beasts showed their outstanding side, they are capable and orderly. They come from the Cordim tribe of Monstoke, which is the most disciplined. They also control a slave army with expertise in smelting and forging. After two years,
After a day's rest, almost all of them now wear armor and hold sharp blades. Their combat effectiveness is no less than that of human assault cavalry. With just one order, they are confident of destroying human temporary camps in the forest, even though those
There are more than 3,000 humans, but in their view, at least 2,500 are sheep, and the rest are just local dogs with little fighting power!
Best of 3 games, no restrictions. The rules of this duel are just like the customs of various Monstock races, rough and direct.
"You can send someone to the end!" Perhaps it was because he had been living in the mountains and forests all year round, or perhaps because he had a general disdain for human beings. The Druid of the Forest Tribe who came to inform him said it very stiffly, regardless of this.
Bian's reaction, he just left.
"Sir, do you think this duel should be cancelled? Once the war begins, maybe the Senmu clan will..."
Xavier extended his hand to interrupt Ebt's words, tilted his head slightly, and Xavier said: "Haven't you seen it yet? These druids are actually very principled, and it is this principle that led to this duel.
For the same reason, no matter what we choose, they will not give us more help.”
Valentina took a long breath. She agreed with Xavier's statement. These druids felt a little inhuman, but they were very principled. They had said to her before: You and your companions can save you.
We owe you and your companions a favor for escorting the people of Fort Worth to the temporary camp safely. This time, we owe it to you and your companions. From now on, it will be settled.
"In the first round, let me go!" Valentina's eyes became determined and bright. Neo was not here, and she felt that she should shoulder Neo's burden as well.
Xavier did not comment, but said to Ebut: "Let the guards prepare for a bloody battle."
"Yes!" Ebut went down with a solemn expression.
Xavier then waved to Dave who was standing aside, "Lite and Zhizev will be your escorts. Once the battle is over, you can take Mirien and Dorothy away."
Difu's eyes were red, "Father, I..."
Xavier glared and interrupted sharply: "I thought you had grown up!"
Dev bit his lower lip, his expression quickly changed from crying to sad but determined. He held his head high and said, "Don't worry, father, I will take good care of my sister." He turned to Valentina and said, "As long as I have one breath left.
, Dorothy would not be harmed.”
Valentina's eyes showed a smile of relief, "I believe it."
"Hey, hey! What are you doing?" Kuip looked at the depressing scene of making arrangements for the funeral. Not only was he a little panicked, he smiled forcefully, "Are you kidding? How could we lose to those beasts, Miss Slode?
, First of all, you are sure to win, and if you take root, it should be no problem. How much appearance fee does he need?”
At this time, Xavier couldn't hold himself any longer, and snorted angrily, saying: "I have very good reasons to confirm that Zhagen will not die for us, and he is only a level 4 warrior. Apart from Si
Miss Rhodes is a newly promoted level 7 knight. There is no professional who is above level 5. As for our enemies, any centurion among them has a strength of level 6-7, and two of their leaders are level 9-10.
A level fighter, you should know this well."
Quip stood there for five seconds as if he had been struck by a petrification spell, and then he said with a strange expression: "You escaped from the control of the dark minions, fought against them several times and won, and killed hundreds of them.
Thousands of humans and beasts without strong combat power, how did you do it?"
Valentina said angrily: "It's definitely not about money."
Quip looked at Valentina and then at Xavier, sniffed and curled his lips: "Okay! I have to admit that you are all tactical geniuses and excellent commanders. The record you have created is enough to make the league's third
First-class military generals are ashamed to work with such colleagues. I feel extremely honored. However, I suddenly feel that I have a special affinity with Dave, and I consider that whether on the road or in Asia, I need a more reliable person.
"Some people are here to handle some affairs." Quip pointed at himself as he spoke, "So, I decided to go back to the camp to prepare, and then go on the road with Diff to serve as the front line for the migration team."
After Kuip finished speaking, he bowed gracefully and left quickly without looking back.
"A disgrace among the nobility!" Valentina didn't even bother to look at Quip again.
Xavier smiled bitterly, "Comparatively speaking, we have too many things that are difficult to let go of..."
At the same time as this conversation was going on, Tanshi Human Beast had already sent out a duelist. He was dressed in black iron armor and looked as powerful and powerful as a heavily armored knight. The two weapons in his hands were simply used to cut wheat straw.
The large hay knives used for feeding, each weighing nearly a hundred kilograms, were surrounded by the shadows of the knives dancing in the sky and the strong wind, which made people tremble just looking at them.
Before the battle even started, Valentina was already feeling desperate. This human beast was about to enter the field. Judging from its momentum and movements, I am afraid that it already has a strength close to level 9. It would be very difficult for Valentina to defeat it, let alone Tanshi.
The two leaders have not yet appeared in such a duel, how can they win?
Although Xavier didn't know how to fight, he had some insight. When he saw the Tanshi people and beasts in the field, he knew that Valentina wanted to win, but it would be difficult. He warned: "Save your strength, wait for the battle later, you
It’s our flag”
Valentina naturally understands the truth behind falling trees and birds and beasts scattering. She thought to herself: "Even if I go all out, I may not be able to delay it for long. Conserving strength is simply bringing about death."
Ouch...
That beach of stone beasts raised their swords and roared loudly
Ouch...
The people and beasts on the beach swarmed in response, their sound shook the snowy field with such force that the snow among the branches fell rustlingly.
The people in the three towns here felt that their morale was suppressed, and they shouted slogans one after another. Soon they gathered into one voice: Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng...
No matter how loud the voices of the humans and beasts are, how can they compare to the shouts of more than 3,000 people? Moreover, in the minds of many townspeople, the hardships and hardships along the eastward journey have never been less. Haven't they all been overcome one by one? Among them,
The beasts were also killed. The piles of human and animal meat and dry food in the temporary camp were the best proof of the victories, large and small, which gave the people full confidence in their own combat power, especially the people of Tures and Mashua.
They are even more high-spirited, and some even think that the druids of the Senmu clan are nosy. It seems that as long as they are willing to pay a small price, the 800 humans and beasts in front of them are just new dried meat food. Therefore, they are all in high spirits and have loud voices.
, the harmony formed instantly suppressed the howls of the humans and beasts.
Xavier closed his eyes in pain. He went through a hard journey to regain the hearts of the people. He saw that the hearts of the people were gradually gathering, but they were still here!
Valentina also felt sad. She couldn't help but think of Neo again, "It would be great if Neo was here!" Valentina couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Xavier also nodded slightly.
Neo does not have particularly outstanding strength, but Neo has abilities that ordinary people cannot match. It seems that no matter how difficult the matter is, he can figure it out and find the most appropriate way to deal with it. With him, people will not hesitate.
Consciously infected by it, people are excited, emotionally stable, positive and optimistic... More than once, even Xavier thought that Neo is good at creating miracles, perhaps it started from this silent influence of moisturizing things.
Valentina knew that she could no longer delay. Even if she lost, she had to show the minimum attitude to inspire everyone to fight. Moreover, the Self-Defense Forces also needed more time to prepare for the war.
No matter which angle she considers, she has to fight this battle, and she has to fight with dignity. Even if she loses, it will be an honor.
Danny, one of the deputies, took Valentina's beloved horse Black Boots. Valentina touched the bridge of Black Boots' nose, took the reins, and with a strong posture, turned on the horse and then took the helmet and put it on steadily.
At this time, there was no trace of sadness on her face or eyes; at this time, she had become a qualified knight
Just when Valentina was about to urge her horse into the battlefield, Liz blocked the way, "This first battle is still up to me."
