Chapter 552: Mutation

"Thomas, is Elder Utherly too big a target here?"

Cloud Shadow asked suddenly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How?"

Thomas****.

"This tent is the largest in the Northern Army camp, and it is very conspicuous in itself, and there are so many druid guards nearby, anyone who looks at it will know that there is a treasure here."

Cloud Shadow replied.

“…… That's right, so where do you think it's safest? ”

Thomas frowned.

"How about going to the dwarven side, find a normal tent, Elder Griffin and Elder Utherily, and ask the dwarven warriors to make a few small trigger traps by the way."

Cloud Shadow came up with his own idea.

"Why the Dwarven Camp?"

Thomas asked again.

"The orcs are not stupid, the northern army has a large number, of course, it is the position that needs to be broken the most in their eyes, the druids have the ability to create illusions, once they find themselves in the illusion, the first thing they want to break is the druid camp."

Cloud Shadow explained.

“…… OK. ”

Thomas nodded in agreement, then turned his head to the side and said, "Lady Mohammed, then please." ”

Lady Mohammed naturally would not refuse this kind of proposal, although it was necessary to vacate a tent and lay additional traps, but the presence of Utheri would inevitably make the druids do their best to keep the dwarven camp, which was definitely a matter of more advantages than disadvantages, and at this thought, Lady Mohammed's favor towards Cloud Shadow increased a lot.

Elder Utherly's decision was thus decided, and she naturally did not have any objections, and Elder Griffin's wife-oriented behavior would not make any sense, which was also a great joy for all.

"Yunying, I thought about it, although you joined the Northern Army, more than 20 people from Flanming still followed you, and Feike will be under your control after he recovers."

Thomas accepted Cloudshadow's proposal, and felt more and more that this woman's long-term vision could work in many places, so he brought up his original statement.

“…… All right. ”

Yun Ying thought for a moment and agreed, she really wanted to support a private army that could obey her orders, but if she wanted these people, she would have to be responsible for their life and death, he had a headache when he thought of the cruelty of the war, and Ji Lie, who was listening, was very happy, those more than 20 people were from their mercenary team, and many of them were at the level of martial artists, and their existence would definitely contribute to Yun Ying's safety.

"Sir, the flares have been released in and out, and several teams of men have responded with flares."

After a while, Liu Xi completed the task and returned to the tent.

"Very good, when they come back, Liu Xi, you will convey my orders on your behalf, I will now appoint you as an emergency lieutenant, responsible for commanding all the affairs of the Northern Army at the moment when I can't be separated, if I can return to Nolan alive, I will apply for military merit to His Majesty Rogge for you."

"What? I? I can?! ”

Liu Xi was almost stunned by the bombshell dropped by Thomas, he wanted to revitalize the family through military exploits, but now that the war has not started, such a big pie has been smashed from the sky, he suddenly began to doubt whether he has the ability to catch it, Liu Xi's eyes involuntarily looked at Yun Ying, on the one hand, he was asking for help, on the other hand, he could not suppress the operation of Yun Ying - after all, she and the chief got along very strangely.

"You don't have to look at others, you just have to believe in yourself."

Thomas saw through Liu Xi's thoughts at a glance, he thought about it and explained briefly: "It was your excellent performance that made me make this decision, at such an important moment-no one can influence my judgment, you just need to believe in yourself, but-"

Thomas suddenly said very seriously: "You should know the fate of the scout who went with Feiko, he was originally my most capable subordinate, but his soldiers died in the previous accident and he is still alive - this is unforgivable, if this battle has a day, I hope you can be like him." ”

What do you do with him? Thomas didn't say it explicitly, but Liu Xi understood that he was going to die with others like that person, for some reason, Thomas's previous words didn't give him much confidence, but the last cruel instruction made Liu Xi suddenly firm again - yes, it's a big deal to return a life! Thinking of this, Liu Xi suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Yes, sir!" ”

"Good!"

Thomas nodded in satisfaction.

"This young man is very motivated!"

Mrs. Mohammed said with a smile on her face.

"It seems that the Northern Army is indeed worth relying on."

Hepburn's face was soft.

"Alas!"

Only Yun Ying sighed lowly, all of the people present were old foxes, how did Liu Xi play with these people - what do you say has nothing to do with others, Thomas is going to tie him and Liu Xi firmly to the broken carriage of the Northern Army, what about keeping Liu Xi's promise before? Is this even her giving up? Doesn't Thomas care about Rogge's reproach? Or was there some other accident that happened during her absence? Cloud Shadow secretly observed the expressions of everyone in the account, and suddenly her face changed—Utheri was looking at her with a strange expression, and what was even more terrifying was that those eyes were no longer empty.

The woman regained consciousness?! Cloud Shadow couldn't help but think that she felt as if she had touched the truth, and only then would Thomas change his mind, he had compromised with the druids for the sake of this war, but didn't he say that his method of controlling Utheri was foolproof? How could it be...... Regardless of whether these were the point now, Cloud Shadow slowly turned her gaze to Thomas, and once the seeds of doubt were planted, she immediately noticed a trace of unnaturalness on Thomas's face.

"Thomas, is our previous agreement still valid?"

Cloud Shadow asked in a low voice.

"Uh, what agreement?"

The unnaturalness on Thomas's face became even more apparent.

"Let fate decide my life and death."

After Cloud Shadow said this, Thomas couldn't maintain his normal expression anymore, and this was undoubtedly telling Cloud Shadow that she had guessed correctly.

"This agreement is not going to change."

Hepburn suddenly interjected.

"Good."

Cloud Shadow was relieved that she was reassured, and that she still had a chance to live, even though it was almost non-existent in the eyes of others, and she now understood that Thomas had brought up the reason why she had taken the two dozen people with him again, that he wanted to add a glimmer of hope to his own survival - and that was all he could do.

"So—I'll quit first."

Yun Ying, who understood everything, didn't want to stay in the tent for a moment, and she suddenly found that the enemy she had to face seemed to be more than just orcs, could she really make it back to Nolan City alive?

"Sir, I'll retire first."

"Me too."

Turning around and walking out of the big tent for a few steps, Yun Ying heard Liu Xi and Ji Lie also say goodbye, and after Thomas agreed, footsteps followed, but Yun Ying didn't look back, and the three of them walked silently to the open space for lunch dinner. (To be continued.) )
