Listening to Aru and the leaders who had escaped from the Ascension recount the experience of the war one after another, Xiao Jinxing's pale and calm face, which was pensive, twitched a few times from time to time.

Every time Aru and the leaders said a word, every name was mentioned, Xiao Jinxing's heart felt like it had been pierced by a sharp blade and gave birth to a feeling of colic.

Finally, when the people in the tent finished speaking, Xiao Jinxing was silent for a long time, and then he forcibly suppressed the pain in his heart and comforted Aru and the others a few times.

However, the few omissions that obviously appeared in the process of telling still did not escape Xiao Jinxing's ears, but at this moment, Xiao Jinxing did not have the time and energy to pursue this matter again, because suddenly another extremely important thing came to his mind.

Xiao Jinxing looked around and saw that these frightened birds-like leaders were looking at him one after another, obviously waiting for them to come up with ideas and make decisions.

Finally, in the face of everyone's expectations, he stood up and said to everyone:

"Xiao knows that it is not easy for everyone to escape from the tribe, and he also wants to go to a safe place as soon as possible, and Xiao also thinks so."

As soon as Xiao Jinxing's words came out, he saw a look of exaltation on everyone's faces, obviously what he said was in line with everyone's thoughts.

Xiao Jinxing sighed inwardly, knowing that this was also the normal idea that a person who had escaped from the pile of dead people with great difficulty should have, but it seemed that he was going to disappoint everyone.

As soon as his words changed, he immediately said: "However, Xiao is only afraid that the worm people will think the same way." ”

In the surprised and puzzled eyes of everyone, Xiao Jinxing asked Alu:

"Arutou people, is there a way for quicksand to the east in this place?"

Aru was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly said with an "ah":

"Yes, five hundred miles to the east, there is indeed quicksand that goes straight to the shore of the Wuhu River, about fifty miles wide."

Speaking of this, Aru suddenly understood the meaning of Xiao Jinxing's words, and hurriedly asked, "Does Xiao Datou suspect that the worms will set up an ambush there?" ”

Xiao Jinxing saw that everyone was looking at him with fear, and said with a sigh in his heart: "When our army encountered the worms on the shore of the Wuhu River before, we found that they came from the east.

Now if we run away to the east, Xiao feels that there is a great possibility of falling into the ambush of the worms. In the quicksand, we don't have the slightest chance of winning, and I'm afraid that the outcome of the former Huaxu people's battle in the extreme west will appear to us again. ”

"So what to do?"

"Yes, Xiao Datou."

When Xiao Jinxing finished speaking, the six gods and masterless people asked Xiao Jinxing one after another.

Xiao Jinxing frowned, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then said decisively:

"For now, I'm afraid the only way to do this is to return to the Golden Tribe."

After finishing speaking, he looked at everyone's stunned expressions and said:

"I have been rewarded, and the head of the Qiuzi said that the worms have retreated from the tribe and have not been entangled with the Qiuzi army, so now the Golden Tribe is back in the hands of our army.

Although last night's battle to defend the city fell short, in my opinion, only by defending the city can there be a glimmer of life, do you think that it will be easier to fight the worms in the field than to defend the city?

Besides, I'm sure the worms wouldn't have guessed we'd be back to the tribe. ”

As soon as Xiao Jinxing's words fell, the faces of the others appeared

There are all kinds of different expressions, some sigh secretly, some shake their heads and say nothing, some look up to the sky and sigh, and some are lonely, but the same thing is that no one puts forward different opinions at this time.

Although Xiao said this, he was not completely sure, maybe there was no worm ambush on the road ahead.

Therefore, Xiao will never force you to go where to go, if you have a better place to go, Xiao will not stop you.

However, Xiao swore that as long as Xiao Mou, who was willing to go back with Xiao, he would do his best to protect him, and if the worms wanted to slaughter innocent people, then they would definitely go on Xiao's corpse. ”

After speaking, Xiao Jinxing summoned Zhezhe and ordered him to order his troops to prepare and lead the remnants of the army to set off with him to the Golden Tribe.

Two hours later, Xiao Jinxing, Zhezhe and the others took all the more than 1,000 soldiers to the Golden Tribe, on this day they had just escaped from that dangerous place, and now they embarked on the road back to the dangerous place in less than half a day.

Xiao Jinxing did not follow the clansmen of the Huaxu clan behind him, because even if Alu agreed to take the clansmen back to the tribe, he had to let them rest well before they could go on the road.

As for some people who fled eastward, Xiao Jinxing and Arudu tacitly did not stop them, after all, Xiao Jinxing had spoken first. And maybe those talents are the lucky ones among them.

When he was about to arrive at the Golden Tribe, Xiao Jinxing ordered people to contact the defenders in the tribe, and at the same time summoned Aru.

Seeing that Aru was approaching him, Xiao Jinxing asked Xin'er and the others to retreat, and then asked Alu, who looked puzzled but uneasy:

"Arutou, have you seen the gods?

Is it inevitable that he will put us to death with no room for manoeuvre?

Did he already know about my plan to lead the steppe tribes against the worms? ”

After Xiao Jinxing finished asking, he looked at Alu with a tired face and a shocked face, waiting for the fierce-looking man in front of him to answer.

The shocked Alu looked at Xiao Jinxing with dull eyes, and after a long time, he suddenly lowered his head and said bitterly:

"Xiao Datou is very human, and he was convinced that day he lost the battle of Alu in the Yihe Grassland.

It's just that Anan didn't know Xiao Datou's plan, but he wanted to kill everyone in the Light Alliance and the Golden Tribe, but it was just as Xiao Datou expected.

Originally, I always thought that Anan was my nephew, my sister's son, and his goal was only to help us Huaxu people fight against the Youyu coalition army, and even when they attacked the city last night, I was still thinking that the worms would only target the coalition army. ”

"So you opened the east, west, and south gates, and let the worms in?"

When Aru heard Xiao Jinxing's question, he immediately returned to shock, he looked at Xiao Jinxing, who was pale lying on the grass, and a trace of murder appeared in his eyes, but it was only for a moment, Aru buried his face in his hands with tears in his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, there was only endless remorse in his eyes.

Recalling the secret he told him in the early morning before his father Luga was killed by Anan's men, Aru looked at the young man lying on the grass in front of him with no half life for a long, long time.

Finally, he gave up the idea of killing people.

For the person chosen by the witches in front of him, Aru does not have the resistance of his father to be lost and favored, so for Alu, who is more upright, the way forward is only to rely on this Xiao Datou, who he is not familiar with.

"I don't know how you got in touch with the Creep, and I don't know you

The details of the negotiation with the god will not know why the god will let you live, but at this time you already know the attitude of the creeping man.

Then Patriarch Aru, I believe that you will make the same choice as your father, and make the choice that a hero should have. ”

……

In the east of the Golden Tribe, where the Wuhu water and the quicksand intersect, Anan, who had an extremely ugly face, looked at the dead corpses all over the ground as if he was hovering on the verge of rage, but he kept restraining his anger and held back.

After a moment, Anan smiled at the corners of his mouth, and after saying "interesting", he nodded at the thousands of fishmen all over the ground and the winged people who were constantly circling in the sky.

The worms left for the west as soon as they received Anan's orders.

The young man behind Anan kept frowning at the thousands of corpses lying on the ground, and finally after thinking about it, he seemed to be relieved and flew east with Anan.

……

For more than ten days, the Golden Tribe has gone through a long process of life and death separation and rebuilding their homeland, which has also given the hearts of those who have been torn apart in the war a little time to resettle.

For Xiao Jinxing, the death of nearly 30,000 soldiers still plunged him into great grief, especially the fact that the heavy armored cavalry he had worked so hard to build was no longer a single one, which completely made him feel disheartened.

When taking advantage of the dark night, looking at the young faces of Hu Laoxi, Zhe Mao'er, Ye Erwen, Wu Lianghe, Wentai, and Zhesi, who were still enjoying the sunset with him not long ago, sleeping forever on the grassland thousands of miles away from his hometown, Xiao Jinxing's tears swelled secretly.

That night, he listened to the melodious funeral songs floating in the sky around him, lit the firewood under these young warriors with his own hands, and watched the warriors turn into green smoke and fly towards the embrace of the immortal sky.

Xin'er, Zhetuo, Jochi, Muhuali, and Sukuo swore a vow to avenge their childhood friends in front of their corpses, and then they, together with Zhezhe, Qiuzi and others, re-led their soldiers and horses to guard the four gates of the tribe.

After returning home, the remaining tribesmen not only cleaned up the corpses everywhere, but also took the initiative to join the team to rebuild the collapsed city walls, and worked all day long waiting for another big war to come.

Aru, on the other hand, sent all his soldiers and horses to various places outside the tribe to gather the soldiers again. During the war that day, the Huaxu soldiers fled in a hurry, and after some retraction, they actually got nearly 10,000 remnants.

However, everyone knows that these centaurs are already very afraid of the worms, and it is just a fool's dream to want them to fight bravely.

In desperation, Aru sent people and horses to other tribes in the west to transfer troops, but the reinforcements would definitely not be able to arrive in a short time, so Xiao Jinxing did not have too many expectations for the reinforcements.

He grouped Aru's men with the remnants of the tribe, and asked them to build high platforms around the tribe to prepare for the creeps who rushed into the tribe.

This was Xiao Jinxing's good advice from the soldiers who were in charge of the palace but miraculously survived, and it was precisely because of the presence of some solid wooden houses in the tribe that the bloodthirsty worms were helpless against the soldiers who climbed on them.

Ten days is enough time to repair the city walls, enough to build enough high platforms, enough to send away the resting robes, enough to summon up the courage to face the impending death.

And really when death was coming, Xiao Jinxing and Zhezhe, Qiuzi, Aru, Zhetuo and others bravely chose to fight it head-on.
