Just as I had just finished asking the question, and before I could even finish speaking, Firestorm's face became a little complicated at this point.

He was visibly startled at first, then he could clearly see the anger that filled his eyes, but then it disappeared and looked at me with a smile. But this smiling face is much uglier than crying. "Ma'am, what are you asking for?"

It seemed that there was definitely something wrong, and his expression betrayed his heart with a shock. But I didn't want to make it clear at this time, so I pretended not to care and said, "What's the matter, is there anything hard to say? ”

"Of course, there's nothing more to say, I'm a good person, even if I occasionally do some things to fight and kill, but it's all a last resort, you see, just like now. Firestorm pretended to casually point to the charred corpses on the ground and continued, "I, I just think it's all in the past, so I don't want to say it. After all, it's still a little scary for me to dream about this. But ma'am, do you really want to know?"

"No, no, no. I hurriedly shook my head: "Since you don't want to say it, then I don't need to listen to it, right?" Let's go, the real man is still ahead of us. ”

"What about you?" Firestorm asked, gesturing at Redding, who was following me on, "Old man, would you like to hear some of my stories?"

"Well, I'd love to hear how you and Iron Mountain spent those decades now, but, as Madam said, we have more difficult things waiting for us now, so let's talk about it when we're done with the trouble in front of us. But then again, I, an old man, am indeed very envious of the youth that can be retained for decades. ”

Firestorm spread his hands helplessly, and pouted: "Okay, just like you said, let's solve the troublesome things in front of us first, and then... Hey, I said, you wait for me, Tieshan, why don't you wait for me?" It turned out that just when Firestorm was about to narcissist, even his best person, Tieshan, couldn't help but laugh and followed us, which made Firestorm feel even more bored.

In the jungle, I had Banksy remove the empty horses he had summoned earlier. Because the terrain here is relatively less complex than the deserts and swamps that we have passed through before, and although dragon meat has been consumed, even if you summon so many Void Horses now, you will still consume your own energy. So in order to avoid unnecessary consumption, it would be better for Banks to recover these Void Horses. I don't know why, but the forest always gives me a bad feeling. Ever since we passed through the territory of the Three Kingdoms of Kaiyuan and came to the entrance of the Deloma Empire, we have seen more than one large dense forest. But every time I passed through a dense forest, my heart seemed very nervous. I have to say that when I entered the human world, I had never seen such a large scale of forests. Because in our territory, not to mention dense forests, there are not even some tall trees. This is the bad effect of the undead, because when we are forced to retreat in the southwest corner, the energy in our bodies also unconsciously emits and pollutes the land. On this land, there are hardly any other living creatures living here except us. Of course, if we count the goods.

When I was an elf, I lived in the forest. Even compared with the dense forests of this world, the home we live in is not inferior, but the scale is much larger. I loved it when I was an elf. Because elves love nature, every elf has no exceptions. But after becoming a ghost, I was disgusted with these places full of life. It's really a great irony for me to go from being a nature-loving elf to a hate of nature. But it was my choice. So, in a way, I had to accept the consequences.

"Ma'am?"

It wasn't until Reading called out to me that I came back to my senses. "Well, what's wrong?"

"I think we're in trouble. Again. Redding pointed ahead, where dozens of large tents could be faintly seen. Judging from the emblem on the tent, this should be the camp used by the army of the Danmoth Empire. "Unfortunately, we came to a barracks. In terms of size, they should be about a thousand people. Moreover, they will surely hear something about us from the mouths of the soldiers who have fled, so they will certainly set up some magicians in this camp to wait for us. ”

"Magician?" I sneered.

"Magician? This was Firestorm's disdainful voice: "What is a magician, compared to me, it is completely heaven and earth, thinking of me Firestorm, it is definitely much more powerful than any magician today." Besides, none of us were magicians, and we didn't come here anyway. ”

Iron Mountain patted Fire Storm on the shoulder, "Have you forgotten the magician who can summon meteorite rain?"

Firestorm was a little embarrassed: "That's just the only magician stronger than me." But it doesn't mean anything, what can he do as a magician, and besides, he's not my enemy, right? I'm talking about my enemies. ”

This Fire Storm's face is really thick, even if his brother exposed him on the spot, he didn't care at all. But at least in this regard, Firestorm and I are thinking the same thing. That is, magicians, what is a magician, the first race in the world to use the power of magic, we elves. They humans are just violentizing the vibrations. Since there may be magicians in this tent, let's meet them properly. I looked at Firestorm and Iron Mountain, and laughed confidently, "Let's go, let's go." ”

Just as the three of us were about to break into the barracks, Redding stopped us: "Ma'am, why are you attacking them? Since they haven't made a move yet, they probably haven't noticed us, so I think the best way is to get around this area, how about it?"

What the hell is going on with this man? It was the old man who was talking about the fact that he had brought in a magician to stop us in the camp we were about to attack. But now they don't want us to attack this camp. "Are you kidding? You know if we don't attack them, then they're going to come and beat us, and we can't guarantee that we'll be able to protect you completely at all times. And you still think they didn't notice us?" I threw Reading into a nearby tree like a chicken, and when he was sure he could see the tents, I continued, "Please take a look, Lord Reading, can you see any traces of military activity in this camp?"

After looking at it carefully for a while, Reading shook his head: "Ma'am, what you said is really right, there are no people here. Wait, what do you mean?"

"Of course, when faced with a sufficiently strong enemy, any wise leader will resort to the simplest method of concentrating superior forces and attacking suddenly. Reading, how could you, as an Auxiliary Minister of the Empire, not even know such a thing?"

Redding's old face flushed and he admitted his mistake. "Yes ma'am, I didn't think of that, I just meant that I didn't want you to kill innocents. After all, many of their soldiers were loyal to the country, not to the regent. But, now, I'm thinking about something more serious. ”

"What's the matter?" I tilted my head to look at him.

"Well, ma'am, if you don't mind, then I want to come down from this tree. Now my legs are a little weak. ”

Haha, how did I forget such a thing? I laughed and brought the old man, who was already shivering, down from the tree. "Of course I see what you mean, and you see that the Firestorm didn't kill all of them before? Actually, what you're thinking about is still a little complicated, because we really don't need to kill them all, we just need to build up enough deterrence to let them know that we are beyond their control. ”

"Is that really the case?"

"Hey, I said you old man, the ladies have already said that, why don't you believe it?" Firestorm looked a little impatient, "Just when you were just observing this camp, Banks and I were already doing a little reconnaissance here. Sure enough, the lady was right, they did have an ambush. However, I'm afraid this will disappoint Reading a bit. Because these people's ambushes are too amateurish. Hey, old man, did you know that there is a hill ahead of you with a rough terrain?"

Redding nodded, "You mean where are they ambushing people? How is that possible?"

"But that's possible. Firestorm was about to laugh: "There are so many places suitable for ambushes in this dense forest, but they would choose such obvious places, is the commander of this army amused? Hills, he would actually choose to ambush in the hills? Such obvious places Even an idiot can clearly see those soldiers in colorful and green armor! Hahaha, this is really funny, ma'am, do you want us to teach them how to teach them well, how to ambush well, what do you think, old man?"

Redding's face looked very ugly, after all, even he knew that hills were hills, there were no high hills here, there were just bare hills one after another. Not to mention the ambush army, even if there are any slightly larger animals, they can see very clearly. But the commander actually did it, which was really naïve. However, in order to protect the honor of his empire, he still forced a smile and said, "This, this may be because this commander is still a novice." But ma'am, since they're all so obvious, I think we'd better not attack them, because they're part of the reserve of the Courage Line anyway. If they suffer losses, then the troops stationed on the Courage Line risk suffering a serious lack of support. ”

"To be honest, I think such an army, even if it is sent to support your defensive line, can only serve as cannon fodder. If you really want to make them strong, then you have to go back and tell the king in person, send some good commanders. Well, I'll listen to you, let's go around it. ”

Reading seemed very happy, no matter what it was, even if there were ulterior motives in that army, at least when facing the Apostles, these soldiers would have to confront the Apostles head-on. If it is lost in our hands, it will be more or less a loss to the Danmoth Empire. "Thank you, ma'am, for your support, I will definitely do it. By the way, if we want to get around that hill, we'll have to ask Ms. Banksy to summon the ghost horses. Because we're about to step into the swamp again. The terrain here is just too harsh. ”

Banks gave a look of understanding, and the next moment we were back on our horses. Sure enough, Reading was right, we had to pass through a swamp again, and in this swamp we could still see the hill and the soldiers still lying in ambush on it. Although I have decided not to harm their lives again, I really don't think that if there is a big war, these soldiers can make any difference, even in the face of humanity, and the whole army may be wiped out. What's more, the current enemy is the apostles, so they are even less able to resist. However, the army that preceded us was significantly superior to theirs. Why are they not reserve troops and let these third-rate troops take on such a heavy responsibility?

Walking in the swamp is indeed a very disgusting thing, and it seems that no matter which swamp it is, it is inevitable that a group of unlucky people will die here, and naturally, this place is no exception. At this moment, Firestorm pointed ahead and shouted at me, "Hey, ma'am, have you seen those shadows in front of you, is there something wrong?"
