Chapter 244: A strategy to fight against the water
Zhao Yu's heart was being irrigated by unprecedented doubts and confusion at the moment, and he was completely puzzled by Shen Mengting's behavior. Shen Mengting's actions just now almost made him feel broken.
First of all, the black-covered document bag was an extremely important thing, which recorded the plans of the Sauron Empire to invade the Kingdom of Saran. Judging from the degree to which Shen Mengting once protected this thing, it seems that she can even give up her life for it.
But what was surprising was that she suddenly handed over the document to Zhao Yu, and the time period was still at this sensitive moment.
What's going on? Why? What the hell is this......
Zhao Yu's mind was a little blank. Now for him, this document is obviously a hot potato. There are too many responsibilities and whirlpools in it, which makes Zhao Yu completely at a loss.
But the reality is that now this document is in Zhao Yu's pocket, and it was personally stuffed by Shen Mengting.
After coming back to his senses a little, Zhao Yu raised his head suddenly. Shen Mengting's hand that was stretched into Zhao Yu's pocket has now been extended. But what makes people care is that Shen Mengting's current expression is extremely serious.
"Ah...... This ......" Zhao Yu wanted to open his mouth to inquire about something.
But at the moment of speaking, Shen Mengting's hand was raised again. This time, she didn't reach into Zhao Yu's pocket, but stroked Zhao Yu's left chest.
Zhao Yu's whole body was followed by a convulsion, and fierce thoughts soon swelled in his brain.
"You put it away!" Shen Mengting's mouth moved.
Zhao Yu still couldn't find the north at all, he tried to understand what happened, "This ...... This...... Why?"
"Anyway, you put it away for me! Now the things will be in your hands!" Shen Mengting immediately retracted her hand. She knew that the action of reaching out and touching Zhao Yu's chest would definitely not last long. Because it would arouse the suspicion of the Saurons.
Handing over the black covered document bag in his hand to Zhao Yu was the most important part of Shen Mengting's escape plan. In other words, that thing must be on Zhao Yu in order to hope that it will not be obtained by the Saurons.
Qian Hao and Shen Jun also caught Shen Mengting's actions just now, and they seemed to be about to ask.
Therefore, Shen Mengting simply answered to all her companions, "You listen to me!" she said in an accent.
Everyone could also feel Shen Mengting's determination, so they immediately closed their mouths again. It's just that when Shen Mengting was about to speak, those few Saurons were ready to pounce on them.
After dealing with all the soldiers, Zhang Zhijie and the others were not prepared to continue wasting time. They are going to end up with Shen Mengting and the others doing Saran.
Correspondingly, the corpses of those soldiers who had just been killed by Zhu Qi were scattered in the east and west. Their deaths were horrible, and there were not even a whole corpse.
Jiang Jingwen was heartbroken for this, and she felt extremely remorseful for her weak strength and inability to save people. At the same time, a sense of indignation in her heart quickly ignited, and she vowed never to let those murderers have a good time. However, indignant despite indignation, she also seems to have nothing to do with those Sauron murderers, because their strength is too strong.
"Shen Mengting, I thought you were going to run away just now?" Zhang Zhijie was holding a cane, and he slowly approached Shen Mengting and her teammates.
"But she just jumped around her companions!" Zhu Qi turned around, he almost stopped looking at the corpses of the soldiers who had been dismembered, as if the death of the group had nothing to do with him, "Ha! Are you trying to join your companions? Why? You probably think that as long as you can stand with your companions, you can get out of danger! hehehe......
"Zhu Qi, don't stimulate her like this, for these dying people, let's be polite!" When Zhang Zhijie stopped, he immediately adjusted the magical aura in his body again.
After finishing the group of soldiers, Zhang Zhijie was going to put all his strength on Shen Mengting.
The boss's words made Zhu Qi and He Weilin also ready, and they all took an attacking posture. And Lu Lei, who was dragging at the end, also raised his sword.
At present, Shen Mengting and the others are surrounded by four Saurons.
The situation is still very bad! Shen Mengting moved backwards and lowered her foot.
"What should we do now?" Shen Jun also leaned back. He may not want to get close to Shen Mengting in the back, but in the current crisis situation, this male swordsman still hopes to have physical contact with his companion.
He also knocked Qian Hao next to him with his body later.
Qian Hao's breathing was a little messy, and he knew the challenge he was about to face, "What should I do?"
"Now we don't have any other good way!We want to resolve the crisis!" Shen Mengting looked at the front seriously, "Only retreat for the time being!"
Everyone seemed to be in the form of a sub-'did they hear it wrong'.
"What...... What? Temporarily retreating? Just want us to escape?" Shen Jun looked back in surprise. However, this action is only a short second or more than an hour. After that, he turned his head again and aimed his sword firmly at Lu Lei, the Sauron swordsman in front of him.
Shen Jun was afraid that as long as he was distracted for a moment, Lu Lei would suddenly charge and take his life.
"In the current situation, if we can really escape, it will be very good!" Qian Hao added.
"There is only one choice in front of us, and that is to retreat!" Shen Mengting shook her head twice in succession, and the two sides behind her corresponded to where Shen Jun and Qian Hao were standing. Of course, if the position is extended to the side, there is still Zhao Yu who still has a stunned face.
Zhao Yu was still wondering why Shen Mengting had given him the documents just now, and his thoughts had almost reached a dead end, and he couldn't think about anything normally at all.
"But, how can we retreat?...... strength of the enemy" Shen Jun didn't say anything about the next words, he knew that if he continued, it would undoubtedly be growing up and destroying his prestige.
"I know this!" Shen Mengting turned her head completely this time, she had a great posture of letting go of everything, "If we just run away like this, it will be absolutely impossible to escape from their clutches." Don't even say anything about how to escape, as long as we step out of our footsteps, there is a high chance that they will kill us immediately!"
What Shen Mengting said was not wrong at all, there were two extremely powerful magicians among the enemies. As long as they want, they can freeze everyone's feet in an instant. So, it's almost impossible for them to escape.
"That'...... So what are we going to do now?"
"Shen Jun, calm down!" Qian Hao persuaded.
"How calm am this! Damn, I came out and wanted to do something big, but I didn't even enter the main city, and I was killed outside the city! What a fucking bad luck!"
"Shen Jun, there's no point in you complaining now!" Shen Mengting hurriedly stopped her, "Listen to me! I have another way, maybe we can guarantee that we have a chance to escape!"
Hearing Shen Mengting's words, everyone widened their eyes.
"What...... What? Can you still run away?"
"What's the solution?"
Shen Mengting looked around vigilantly a few times, and when she realized that the Saurons had not yet attacked, she calmed down and explained the idea in her mind, "Listen! If we choose to run away without a brain, it will indeed not take a few seconds to catch them." But is there one thing you've ever thought about?"
Even if you don't have to look at it, you can clearly see that there are questions on the faces of several of your companions. Shen Mengting continued to explain, "What if we escape in different directions?"
"Huh?" Qian Hao didn't seem to understand the meaning, so he didn't even care about the longbow in his hand, and directly turned his head and glared at Shen Mengting.
But because Shen Mengting didn't look back at the moment, he could only see his back.
"Hey, what are you Saranites doing? What are you talking about? Don't you prepare for battle?" Lu Lei saw that the enemy was slow to move, so he opened his mouth to ask.
But Shen Mengting didn't pay attention to it.
"What exactly is your plan?" Qian Hao asked Shen Mengting again.
"Isn't my plan already clear? Don't run away together, choose to flee in all directions. Because this way we will not allow the enemy to concentrate their firepower against us. Just imagine, if the battle starts later, we will flee to the surrounding area regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one. Can those Saurons take care of them all?" Shen Mengting looked around behind her, "Don't forget, there are five of us here, but there are only four of them over there!"
Shen Mengting's proposal shocked almost everyone, and they couldn't figure out that there would be such a plan in front of them now.
"This ...... But...... Is this really feasible?Will the five of us run in different directions?" Shen Jun no longer grasped the hilt of the sword, and his hand gradually loosened.
"That's it! Other than that, we have no other way!" Shen Mengting's tone was a little miserable.
"Indeed, we are currently 'neither fighting nor fleeing,' and there is almost no other way. Perhaps, it should be a good decision to escape in a different direction and fight hard!" Qian Hao's steps that kept moving in small increments seemed to tell that he agreed with Shen Mengting's point of view.
"But what about after you run away?" Shen Jun asked again.
Shen Mengting shook her head impatiently, "What can you do after you escape? Of course, I went back to Qingse City by myself! Remember! When I get to the city, I don't have to worry about anything and go directly to the palace!"
"But, Sister Mengting, it's useless for us to go to the palace! The people in the palace won't pay attention to us at all. Only if you go, we can follow!So, I guess even if the five of us scatter and escape, the enemy will focus on chasing you!"
As soon as Jiang Jingwen's words were spoken, Shen Mengting's violent sigh could be heard, "Alas, but now we can only do this." If we sit idly by, or choose to stand with those Saurons in a hot head, the result is basically just a dead word. But if we gamble, just as they bet that we're going to go this way, we bet they won't catch us all. Then we have a little hope that we can go to Kiyose Castle! As for what you are worried about, it will not hurt for me to tell you!"
Speaking of this, Shen Mengting lowered her head and swallowed her saliva, "I've already arranged it! The black-covered document bag is now in Zhao Yu's hands!"
Shen Jun had a kind of 'abrupt' posture when he heard this, "Ah, yes, I saw you secretly hand over that document to that kid just now." You ......"
"That's the only way I have now! That Zhang Zhijie has obviously seen me through completely! He will also predict my habits and make a decision to deal with me. Now, I'm going the other way, doing something that someone else wouldn't have decided to do. In that case, Zhang Zhijie and the others will not be able to predict my behavior.
Indeed, as Shen Mengting said, everything she does now has a posture of going the opposite way. Handing over the black covered document bag to Zhao Yu was also the most important part of her plan. Because only when something is in the hands of the weakest Zhao Yu, it will be even more unexpected. Zhang Zhijie and those few Sauron people will not pay attention to it.
Later, as long as Shen Mengting gave an order, the five of them would scatter and escape. If five people run in different directions, the four of the enemy will definitely be overstretched when they catch up. Even though they have very strong strength, they will always unconsciously miss someone. And the document is on one of them, that is, the enemy only has an eighty percent chance of getting it, and coupled with Zhao Yu's particularity, that chance will only be lower.
At that time, maybe the people of Sauron will not take care of Zhao Yu, but will pursue powerful characters like Shen Mengting or Qian Hao. In that case, the documents carried by Zhao Yu would be relatively safe.
Shen Mengting couldn't help but pat the clothes on her chest. This is a plan she decided temporarily, the reason is that Zhang Zhijie has seen through everything about her, and now as long as she doesn't do anything according to common sense, then Zhang Zhijie can't guess her next plan.
For example, this matter - handing over the document bag to Zhao Yu must be something that Zhang Zhijie could not imagine. After that, Zhang Zhijie and the others will definitely focus on chasing Shen Mengting and ignoring the weak Zhao Yu.
"Okay! That's exactly what the plan is! Now, we can only gamble!" Shen Mengting lowered her body slightly, "Just now the enemy gambled, and they gambled right, thus intercepting us on this road." Now we're going to gamble that the enemy won't catch us all!'
"Okay, are you all ready?" Shen Mengting shouted at the top of her throat.
Because it was relatively sudden, most people did not react. But after a moment's hesitation, they responded with a resounding 'good'.
"Oh yo!" Zhang Zhijie saw the other party's reaction like this, and the excitement in his heart was uncontrollable, "What?
can intuitively feel that the energy is exposed, and Zhang Zhijie's whole body exudes a compelling aura. And with the help of their boss, the three subordinates also moved.
He Weilin raised his right hand, and there seemed to be a blue light wave circling in the palm of his hand.
Zhu Qi slowly pointed the head of the staff in the direction of Qian Hao, and then prepared to cast the skill related to the blood shaman.
Lu Lei hooked his mouth and smiled. As for the movements in his hands, he had already done them very well prepared earlier.
From time to time, the road in the forest wafts a few citrus smells, which are common in late autumn. It seems that an earth-shattering change is about to unfold in the woods.
Facing the enemy's imminent offensive, Shen Mengting was not to be outdone, and turned her head to look at her partner a few times, "Okay! Don't hesitate! When I give the order, everyone will take action." Do you hear that?"
"Hear!"
"Roger!"
"Okay!"
"Since it's okay!, then ......" Shen Mengting was overheading, but her eyes were still staring at it quickly. Especially Zhao Yu in the rear right, who was frequently captured by her afterglow.
Zhao Yu could understand Shen Mengting's good intentions, and he immediately pressed his abdomen, where there was the black covered document bag that Shen Mengting had stuffed just now. He knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders at the moment.
Continuing to look at Shen Mengting, Zhao Yu nodded sadly. The two didn't talk too much, just looked at each other in silence.
Zhao Yu! Now it's only up to you! Shen Mengting's heart made a prayer. She knew that if she kept looking at Zhao Yu, the place would definitely be suspicious, so she decided to divert her gaze.
She cast a reluctant glance at the horses in the distance, and prayed in her heart: 'Nassa,' don't run around, and come to you when I am out of danger. Then, she was ready to get up and take action.
"Then ......" Shen Mengting glanced at the sword in her hand again, "then...... It's time to get started!Ready...... Run!"
Shen Mengting finally gave the order to 'retreat'!
As soon as everyone heard that the time had come, they immediately ran away in their respective directions. With a certain central point as the axis, a group of five people quickly spread out to the periphery.
Since there are five people, there must be two sides overlapping into one. Zhao Yu and Jiang Jingwen were running in the south direction, but it didn't take long for the two to separate like a fork in the road. One of them ran southwest, while the other went straight to the southeast.
Now, Shen Mengting and her family have only one obsession, and that is to escape and not let the Saurons chase them.
Seeing the enemy scattering and fleeing, Zhang Zhijie didn't react for a while. He gave a rising 'um' and hurriedly looked at the few Sarans who had fled. But because the other party was running away in different directions, Zhang Zhijie couldn't attack one of them.
"This ...... What's going on?"
"Teacher, they did it on purpose!" He Weilin suddenly shouted.
But by the time the Saurons reacted, it seemed too late.
The five men from Saran's side hurried into the woods beside the road, and they seemed intent on covering through the dense woods.
"You ...... Don't want to run away!" After Zhang Zhijie reacted, he immediately pointed his right hand at Shen Mengting, "If you want to run away, you are too naïve!
However, at the moment when the ice arrow was shot, Shen Mengting turned around and slammed the sword to the ground one step ahead. It seems that she has long realized that Zhang Zhijie will attack her first.
Seeing the shock wave coming towards him, Zhang Zhijie hurriedly and forcibly pressed his right hand. He chose to lift the staff he held in his left hand, and a mana shield was born.
The mana shield resisted the shock wave's blow, but Shen Mengting had already burrowed into the woods safely.
"Damn!" Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but look up to the sky and roared angrily.
Shen Mengting's strategy seemed to have worked, due to the irregular scattering of the five people, only four of the Sauron people could not quickly find the firepower point. In that case, they would just have to watch each other run away.
