Chapter Twenty-Six: The Ominous Visitor
Ophelia led the crowd to rest in the town of Sardinichi for 3 days, waited for 3 days, and was depressed for 3 days.
In the end, it was only the evening of the first day, and 2 squads of soldiers from the Silver Pegasus Legion arrived. For the next two days of waiting, no one returned...... Endless waiting, unending loss......
During this period, Zhang Yang also learned some useful information through inquiry. The Dragons easily captured the city of Jotan, but did not attack in all directions. but firmly entrenched in the city of Jotham. About 20 percent of civilians have fled, and towns on all sides have flooded with refugees. The refugees said that the Earth Dragon Legion basically did not attack them, and that they were attacked by a group of black-armored warriors, as if they were a large mercenary group. I didn't see the badge though. Ophelia estimated that the conspirators were made up of some official rebels and mercenary groups, but it was unknown who they were.
Today is the third day that Ophelia and her party have arrived in the town of Sardinichick.
Zhang Yang's injuries have healed a lot, and although there are some soreness side effects from the electrical energy recovery, the effect is still quite good. And because Ophelia bought some secondary healing potions in the town at a high price, several of the wounded were much better. At least Zhang Yang's flesh wounds are all healed now, only the arm bone of his left hand has not healed, and the other wounded are almost fine. Zhang Yang's penetrating arrow wound has basically healed, and it is fortunate that he didn't hurt his muscles and bones at the beginning, and he finally regained his ability to move freely at this time.
After waiting for 3 days, the people who should have returned should have arrived, and they didn't come back...... The chances are slim too. When Zhang Yang practiced his perception at night, he repeatedly found Ophelia silently crying, for the warriors of the Silver Pegasus, and perhaps for the innocent dead. Mei Li, who had always been by her side before. It turned out to be his maid, who had been by her side since she was very young. Until she entered the family, the Silver Pegasus Legion was always her taking care of Ophelia's daily life. And most of the female warriors around Ophelia are maids brought out of the previous family. It's no wonder that the female warriors of the Guards don't have much fear of Ophelia, but more care and love. Through the observation of these days, Zhang Yang found that although the group of silver Pegasus warriors led by Ophelia looked very elite, most of them were actually rookies who had recently joined the army, and they were not much earlier than Zhang Yang himself. Otherwise, with this combat power, the strength of the elite soldiers of the French Empire would be too weak. But Ophelia is also the leader of the Silver Pegasus Legion, how can her direct subordinates be so weak? The reason for this is very interesting. It's just that Zhang Yang is not a talkative person, and he doesn't have that extra curiosity to figure it out, just know it himself.
"Whew...... Is it really...... Wait another day? It's not safe here, I'm afraid it's hopeless to wait any longer. That's it, so I had to go back to the base camp first. I must avenge this revenge! ”
It's been 3 days, and the short and long wait has finally come to an end. Ophelia reluctantly decided to leave the area and return to the base camp of the Silver Pegasus Legion, the city of Moxim in the northern part of the French Empire.
Zhang Yang and a few warriors boarded a carriage that he had just bought, this kind of carriage was pulled by two wildebeests, the carriage was very spacious, Zhang Yang visually estimated that it was about 6 square meters, and a carriage was enough to fit 4 people to rest. Nierjielina was arranged by everyone to take care of him by default, so she rode in the same carriage with Zhang Yang. In the past few days, Zhang Yang also used his free time to simply teach her some knowledge and skills in survival, first aid, and self-defense. Although many of them were learned from the books of this world, there were many valuable lessons that he had gained in his two lives. Zhang Yang has basically accepted the fact that this girl has become his servant or student. I started to teach her some practical knowledge and skills step by step. For example, the dagger fighting technique that I once learned in the army......
As Totoni turned over his horse for the last time, Ophelia glanced in the direction of Jotan City from a distance, and then resolutely turned around and left, decisively the excellent quality of a general. After a while, the group set out on the road to Mokhim. The fog has not completely dissipated this morning, and the gloomy weather makes it even more boring. The party slowly left the town of Sardinia and traveled for about seven days on horseback to the city of Mokshimu. In order to retain horsepower, everyone had to slow down and move forward. And because this section of the road is an inter-city road and there are guard towers, low-level demonic beasts and Grayling and the like have almost been cleaned up, so you can hurry with a little peace of mind at that time.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhang Yang slowly swayed with the rhythm of the bumps in the carriage, listening to the creaking sound of the wheels in his ears, and looking at Nierjielina who was reading a book in front of him. Suddenly I was a little relaxed, and the things I had been doing so hard a few days ago seemed to be in a dream. This kind of peaceful travel is what I have been longing for since I came to this world, right? Zhang Yang thought lightly, his eyes were unconsciously a little hollow.
The book Niljielina was reading was a book on elementary herbology that Zhang Yang had bought in Sardinia Schick. Women are a little weak in terms of natural strength and physique, but their agility and flexibility are better, before there are no fighting skills and fighting qi cultivation methods in this world. Some basic training and preparation can also be started in advance, Zhang Yang thought about it for a long time before deciding to train her to become an assassin, perhaps because the assassin in Zhang Yang's memory is more impressive. Therefore, herbology, poisonology are indispensable. She has no objection to this, and she will do what Zhang Yang arranges for her to do. This made Zhang Yang very pleased, he didn't like to teach that kind of delicate girl, eldest lady or something. There are too many broken problems, and I can't bear the hardships. Now it seems that Niljielina is really good, very attentive, very hardworking, and very hard-working. I just wonder if she has the talent to be a warrior or an assassin? That kind of cold and plain heart is not something that can be cultivated overnight. Zhang Yang thought wildly, maybe this kind of training method will only shape another "self", right?
"Stop! What people! Everyone, be on alert! ”
Nack's shouts could be heard from ahead. Zhang Yang quickly got up to defend the entrance of the carriage for the first time, and moved so violently that the bone of his left arm hurt slightly. Nierjielina also quickly followed the method that Zhang Yang had taught her, and ducked her body behind the baffle of the carriage. At this time, everyone heard a feminine male voice sounding unhurriedly.
"Hehe, don't be nervous~ I'm not malicious~ I'm here to make a deal, I'm lucky enough to let me see the beautiful silver wing light, Lord Ophelia, I admire her very much, oh hehehe......"
The person who came smiled femininely and hypocritically, just listening to his voice made people naturally think of the cold and slippery poisonous snake......
"Say what you mean! Who are you? “
Naxi stepped forward, alongside Mok, watching the man in front of him vigilantly. This man is about 1.80 meters tall and very slender. Yes, it's not thin or burly, but it feels very slim! Wearing a blue-purple robe, he looks very exquisite. The bare skin was delicate and pale, and a face that should have been delicate felt very evil when combined with his snake-like eyes! It's just that although the person who came looked disgusting, it was undeniable that the feeling he brought to Nack and Moxie was very depressing. This is definitely a strong man, a silver-level powerhouse who is not below Ophelia!
"It's really troublesome, forget it, I don't care about you. I'm here to negotiate a deal, as for the chips? …… Uh-huh~...... It's a few people, it seems to be called Odara and Merry or something! Hehehehehe......"
The visitor laughed softly again.
"What!! Merry! Odara!! Who are you! What does it have to do with the Black Armor Army in Jotham! Where are the Captain Merryguards!! “
Nack and Moxie were anxious when they heard this, and shouted angrily and anxiously.
"I don't like talking to little people. Tell Ophelia to come out, and talk nonsense. I'll kill you. “
The person who came was still smiling softly, but the words he said were tingling with a biting cold and cold killing intent! Let the angry Nack and Moxie can't help but arouse goosebumps!
"You! ……“
Moxie was about to step forward and fight desperately, but Ophelia's voice was already ringing.
"Tell me your terms, how can I release my people, and what kind of deal will I make."
Ophelia's voice was calm on the surface. Wright, that guy usually has such a calm expression, right? Is it this kind of expression that will reassure your own people but make your opponent nervous? Ophelia thought a little distractedly.
"What an honor! Lady Ophelia! It's better to see than to hear~! I didn't expect you to be such a straightforward person, so please listen carefully! “
The feminine man grinned, and if he looked closely, there seemed to be a layer of unpredictable color on his lips! Is it lipstick......
At this time, Zhang Yang, who had just rushed over, found at a glance that this feminine man's face was smiling reservedly, but there was no smile in his eyes, there was just a ruthless coldness, and the light was faintly yellow, like a poisonous snake!
