052 Fork in the road
After a quick rush, the two finally arrived at the fork in the road at noon.
As mentioned earlier, Acacia is surrounded by forests on three sides as a frontier area, and there is only one road that leads to the Imperial City, and this route is made up of a naturally formed valley and thousands of years of people walking and repairing, and at the end of the long road is a fork in the road, and the three paths at the fork lead to three different directions, the road due north must be the only way to the Imperial City, and the road to the west and the road to the east lead to the fortress in the west and east respectively.
So-and-so and Lance walked in the direction of due north without hesitation, it is now the season of autumn and winter, and the cold air is very diligent to come to the world to report, and from time to time come to a surprise landing to swear their sense of existence. No, under the dual effect of the valley's permeable wind and cold air, so-and-so was already so cold that he couldn't wait to wrap all the balls he had formed in the mage's robe and never come out again.
Even the two high-level-looking mounts provided by Xia Kui couldn't help but slow down to adapt to the sudden increase in wind. Of course, the so-called "being a cow and a horse beast" must be a nickname given to people by so-and-so. "When a cow is a horse beast", there is a very handsome name called "Yak", which probably means that the hair on the body is strong and warm, and it runs fast.
It's a pity that they are a cross breed of yak and horse in so-and-so, so so-and-so unceremoniously gave them the name "when the cow is a horse beast", and the little beasts were very aggrieved when they heard this name, but they had no choice but to speak human words and could only be forced to accept the name.
Lance has a piece of luggage on his chest and back to block the wind, he looks extremely chic and not afraid of the cold, and he even has the leisure to tease so-and-so for fun: "Tell me what Huanluo told you and I'll give you back your luggage?"
So-and-so wanted to answer casually, but unfortunately when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered the shyness of Huanluo blushing and telling himself not to say it, and swallowed the petrification into his stomach again: "This matter, I really can't say it." ”
"Why?" Lance was still smiling, but the more he looked at this smile, the more he felt a chill in his heart: "Don't you believe me?"
So-and-so was shocked, and somehow thought of Xia Kui's warning in his mind, and then thought of Xia Kui's no-nonsense warning in the past few days, when Xia Kui gave himself a lesson in common sense, Lance was gone, could it be that Xia Kui and Huanluo were really suspicious of Lance?
Lance looked at a certain person with slightly puzzled eyes, and only then did he realize that he had been in a daze for a long time, and he didn't stop doing it, and he simply blushed and blushed slowly in his own daze, and when he felt that his cheeks were about to be feverish, he raised his head and looked at Lance infinitely shyly: "I hate it, it's all a topic of girls' families, what are you asking?"
Lance was scorched by Thunder on the outside and tender on the inside. Taking advantage of the fact that Lance was not overwhelmed by thunder, so-and-so hurriedly took back his big suitcase and blocked it in front of him, saved himself, recaptured the salute, and stabilized Lance, this three-win deal is still worth it.
So-and-so happily dialed a small abacus.
Lance didn't think much of it, and he immediately came back to his senses and observed the scenery around him. So-and-so has nothing to do, and he also learns to look up at the sky from Lance.
Walked into the north-facing path at the fork in the road, but the surrounding scenery has not changed much, still tall and low mountain rocks stand on both sides of the road, due to autumn reasons, the mountain rocks are not bare at all, and I don't know what to see.
So-and-so was in confusion when he heard Lance's voice coming: "This road is really interesting." ”
"Interesting, what's the point?" "So-and-so just lowered his head and raised his head because of Lance's words: "Could it be that there is a group of cute girls in bikinis dancing on the top of the mountain?"
"......" Lance didn't answer so-and-so's words (probably didn't want to answer either), and said to himself: "Think about it, if Acacia is captured, if the enemy wants to take the imperial city in one go, he must pass through this road, at this time, as long as someone occupies the favorable terrain on the mountain, and throws some stones, rockets and other things down the mountain, the enemy will not be completely wiped out here?"
So-and-so thought about it along with Lance's thoughts: "Really, this is really a necessary terrain for murder, arson, robbery, and extinguishment!"
Lance then said to himself, "Well, what if someone wants to use the terrain here to stop Acacia's army from passing......"
"Well, that's bad......" so-and-so muttered.
As soon as the words fell, he heard the sound of arrows whistling past his ears, and Lance reacted quickly and pulled a certain to hide behind "being a cow and a horse beast", and so-and-so held his suitcase, and his whole body almost shrank into Lance's arms. Lance struggled slightly, but because the arrows outside were too dense, there was no better place to move for a while, so he simply let so-and-so go.
"When the cow is a horse beast" has a lot of arrows in the body, and after a neigh, it looks like it is about to fall, and a certain eye quickly frees up a hand to pull the reins of "when a cow is a horse beast", but due to the weight of the body, it was pulled out by "when a cow is a horse beast".
Seeing this, Lance hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and the two of them pulled the reins of "being a cow and a horse beast" together, and finally temporarily stabilized the body of "being a cow and a horse beast" and put it in front of him as a shield. Seeing that the arrow did not mean to stop releasing it, Lance whispered to remind so-and-so to retreat with him, and when so-and-so heard Lance's words, he immediately understood that Lance wanted to use the corpse of "being a cow as a horse beast" to form a small triangle that would not be easily attacked.
So the two of them slowly moved backwards, and when Lance finally leaned his back against the wall, so-and-so relaxed in one breath. As soon as he let go, Lance's hand supporting "being a cow and a horse beast" also happened to be released, and this letting go of "being a cow and a horse beast" was immediately in a kind of unsupported suspension state.
So-and-so suddenly felt a sinking on his body, a strong smell of blood rushed straight ahead, so-and-so subconsciously shrank back but just hit Lance's arms, a wave of embarrassment hit, so-and-so tried to sit in front of a little but couldn't push the behemoth pressing on his body due to his own physical limitations, and wanted to ask Lance for help, but Lance completely ignored so-and-so.
So-and-so struggled to prove his existence, and Lance simply trapped So-and-so's movement with one hand, and covered So-and-so's mouth with the other, completely suppressing the moving creature in front of him. Lance ignored so-and-so, ignored the strong smell of blood from "being a cow and a horse beast", ignored the arrows flying in front of him, and decisively and simply did a miraculous thing - fell into contemplation.
