Chapter 8: Dangerous Situations
A person's destiny may be predestined from the moment he is born. What kind of environment you are born in, and what kind of responsibilities you carry, these do not seem to be entirely up to the individual. The path forward is destined to be in the interpersonal relationships that a person is in. As a result, loneliness has become a must for everyone.
"What can I do? What can I do but escape. At this time, the dragon knight Abel took off his white coat and changed into a simple costume made of animal skin. The white dragon had already left him, and he didn't look any different from an ordinary person at this time.
"I can't be found by the head of the Dragon Knights, his staff can search for my dragon shadow. In this way, even dragon magic will not be able to be used in the future, and there is really no difference from ordinary people. After thinking about it, Abel sighed.
"In the future, I can only use the sword. Looking at the unsheathed sword in his hand, Able shook his head. "It's just a matter of breathing, and with everyone's ability, it's not difficult to really find me. Defection, that's a felony. How long I can live depends on the will of God. But it doesn't matter, what are you afraid of if you die once?"
Walking in the mountains and forests, the sixth sense cultivated by the perennial killing made Abel vaguely feel a little uneasy, so he hid in the bushes and disguised himself.
"Could the information be wrong, will that dragon knight really be in this mountain?" After a while, several black-clothed mages with mages with masked faces seemed to be searching for something. He whispered as he passed by the bushes.
"The above information can't be wrong. However, the task of capturing the dragon knight alive is indeed a bit difficult. The dragon knights, like us, are good at chasing targets and hiding themselves, so be on your toes, maybe that guy is hiding next to us. One of the mages rebuked the man who had just spoken in a reproachful tone.
"Don't worry, I'm full of confidence in my own detection magic, not to mention that he is a dragon knight, every grass and tree in this mountain is under my control. But I really didn't feel that guy was there. "The reprimanded magician was clearly a bit egotistical and overestimated his abilities.
"That guy finally disappeared into the mountains, it's a real thing. Who knows what method he used. Or maybe there is some incredible monster in this mountain, and maybe you can eat it. Other magicians quipped.
"I didn't expect that in addition to the dragon knights of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, there are other people who are also arresting me!" Abel lay on his stomach in the bushes, actually a little surprised. "Fortunately, in order to prevent the old man from finding me, I hid my traces very well, otherwise they would have discovered it just now!"
"There's a rabbit a hundred meters ahead, should we catch it and beat the tooth!" The voices of several mages faded away, and Able slowly lost his voice.
"It's troublesome this time, it seems that not only do I have to guard against the people of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, but I also have to be careful with these black-clothed mages. Abel waited for the black-clad mages to walk away before he came out of the bushes again. "You have to guard against these guys, and you have to find a way to get something to eat, it seems that it is the best strategy to leave this mountain quickly. Thinking of this, Abel left where he was hiding and quickly fled.
In the camp of the Tianlong Army, this meeting is a bit lively.
Britney, the beautiful dragon knight, stood in front of Henry, her face full of dissatisfaction.
"Henry, are you honest, you really didn't give Abel any secret mission?" Opposite Britney, Henry was calm and didn't say a word.
"Britney, this is in the barracks, not a place for you to lose your temper!" Sofya stood in front of Henry for the flag, afraid that Britney would rush over and make Henry unable to get off the stage.
Britney's eyes were red, and she looked at Sofya as a flag in a puff of anger.
"Abel, nine times out of ten, he has defected. According to the rules of the principality, the defecting dragon knights will be handed over to the dragon knights to be executed by their own hands, so as not to leave a legacy behind. The young lord is just acting according to the rules of the principality, why are you so ignorant and shouting here, what kind of system are you?" said Sofya sharply.
"Isn't it just a matter of your Henry's words that Abel defected or not?" Britney couldn't listen to what Sofya was saying and shouted. "Didn't Red just say that they were attacked by strange tentacles in another world, how can you be sure that Abel is not controlled, but defected?"
"Britney, calm down!" Henry spoke, scolding in his heart that if it weren't for the family behind Britney being too powerful in the Dragon Kingdom, he would have let Britney walk around without eating anyway. "I did say that Abel's behavior was enough to be considered a defection. But now, the head of the regiment has not returned, and we have not yet decided on the specific handling opinions. What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"You really treat me like a three-year-old child!" Britney didn't back down in the slightest, "Although the Dragon Knights are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Captain, you are the future heir of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom, and your opinion plays a pivotal role in determining the nature of this matter. Britney was hysterical, but what she said was a real fact.
"I don't want to quarrel with you, Abel's matter can be put aside, and we will study it later. Henry knew that continuing to talk about this problem would only make the contradiction more intense, so he changed the subject and said: "The top priority now is to study how to destroy the enemy, that is, the demon that suddenly appeared and General Walker. ”
Britney wanted to continue to say something, but seeing Henry's current appearance, she was silent for the time being.
"We have reached a truce with the Walker Army for the time being. Henry said, smirking wickedly. "Originally, this time, we were going to sneak up on them, but we didn't expect to stumble into the demon's war to destroy Walker. Hey, it's a pity, I knew that I wouldn't send troops that day, and I would have reaped the benefits of the fisherman. However, this battle cannot be said to be completely fruitless. Walker: They didn't think we did it to eliminate them, and they are so grateful to us. This allows us to take a breather and fix the food supply chain that was previously damaged. Now if our army is not able to achieve a quick victory, then it can only shrink the front a little. I don't know what you think about the current state of affairs. ”
"The young master is wise. It would be a good idea to shrink the front for a moment and wait for our supply situation to recover, and then fight a decisive battle. And the soldiers are fast, and the sooner this thing is, the better. If the movement is too slow, Walker's reaction will not be good. Sofya seemed to compliment Henry, causing Britney to roll her eyes at him.
"I feel ......" was about to speak, "Bang!" There was a loud bang, the curtain of the camp was blown open, and the head of the Dragon Knights walked in menacingly.
His expression of wanting to kill frightened all the people in the tent.
"Why are you going to rebel!" cried out Henry, undeterred by the old man.
The old man seemed to calm down a little when he was shouted by Henry.
"I'm sorry, I'm mad too!" The old man's gaffe was completely unexpected by everyone.
"Pull out the camp, hurry up and pull out the camp, we are about to join forces with those bastards from the Peacock Country, prepare early, so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes. The old man seemed to be talking in his sleep, and he blinded all the people in the tent.
"Commander, calm down first, our side is completely unclear about the situation, how can we cooperate with your orders?" Sofya reminded the old man in a timely manner.
"Shame, shame! Loss of power and humiliation of the country!" the old man suddenly burst into tears, making everyone even more confused.
"Don't ask so much first, I'll explain the reason to you later, now give the military order first, let the army be pulled. ”
This strange situation made everyone shift their attention to Henry.
"I now order you as the head of the Dragon Knights, immediately send the military order, and the army will be drawn immediately!" the old man howled as if he had lost his mind.
The regimental commander, who has always been proud of the world and has no one in his eyes, suddenly became like this, Henry really didn't expect it.
"Red listens!" Henry's eyes sank, "just do what the old head says!"
"Yes!" Red commanded, and walked out of the tent.
"Sofya is the flag!" Henry suddenly shouted.
"Yes!" said Sofya, standing upright.
"Hurry up and help the old head to come to me!" Henry's tone softened, and Sofya gave the order for the flag, and helped the trembling old head to sit in front of Henry.
"You and Britney go out first, and I'm going to talk to the old head alone. Henry winked, and Sofya followed Britney, and the two left the tent.
"Okay, Commander, now there are only two of us left here, tell me directly if you have anything to say!" Before Henry finished speaking, he felt that the old head in front of him seemed to have a problem, and instinctively wanted to hold the sword in his hand, only to see the sword flash, a ball of black blood spurted out, and a barrier opened from the front, protecting Henry. Looking at the regiment commander in front of him again, his head fell to the ground. Behind him, three other old men stood.
"Young master, this regiment commander is fake!" The three old men had white hair, their faces and bodies were covered with scars, and they looked like they were experienced in a hundred battles.
"Who are you three, and why are you here? Henry had never seen these three old men before, and couldn't help but ask.
"The three of us are dead people who are dying, and there is no need for the young master to know who we are. We are the most loyal guardians of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom, young master, you can just know this matter!" one of the old men coughed lightly twice and answered Henry's question.
"Young master!" Outside the camp, the voice of Sofya as a flag suddenly came, and the three old men disappeared.
I saw Sofya rush in for the flag, looking at the corpse on the ground and the safe and sound Henry in shock, he gasped for a while, and continued: "The real Dragon Knights are back!"
