Chapter 145: Help
The sky in the east was gradually whitening, and the morning wind was slowly blowing, blowing away the thin fog around them, and the sun had not yet shown its head, and everything seemed miserable and sleepy.
Ouyang Qian's face was pale, her brows were tightly locked, her eye sockets had large black circles, she looked haggard, yesterday's fierce fighting and desperate escape made her so tired that she almost vomited blood, her physical strength was seriously overdrawn, although she fell asleep for a few hours, her whole body seemed to fall apart, her muscles and bones were sore, and her spirit was still very poor. After a long time, she opened her eyes heavily, and for a moment, as if she didn't know where she was, she was confused, and her eyes looked around without focus.
Xia Xue stayed awake all night, and fought one after another, and she was so tired that her body was sore, and her eyelids were fighting. I just climbed up the tree to take a nap, and suddenly felt Ouyang Qian's body move, and quickly opened her eyes and sat up. She saw Ouyang Qian wake up and let go of her heart. She knew that what people were most afraid of at this time was to be unconscious and unconscious. As soon as she woke up, everything would be much easier. She gently shook Ouyang Qian's body and called softly, "What do you think?" ”
Ouyang Qian saw Xia Xue with a tired but concerned face, and her heart warmed, "I'm much better, where are we?" ”
"In the trees."
Ouyang Qian sat up slowly, turned her head to look around and up and down, only to see herself lying on the canopy of more than twenty meters high with lush branches and like a green spring bed, she was amazed and grateful in her heart, she stuck out her tongue, "Your Majesty is so powerful, you can get me up so high, if you change to me, you will definitely not be able to do it." Thank you! ”
Xia Xue stroked Ouyang Qian's hair lovingly, "We are like sisters, thank you, I said that as long as I live, I will never abandon you." ”
With such a good fairy sister, what more can a husband ask for to follow such a good queen? Ouyang Qian's eyes flashed with tears, and she choked up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm okay now, where are we going now?" ”
"Go to the top of the mountain."
"Ah, there are few trees on the top of the mountain, isn't that easy to expose?"
"It's okay, I have a way, let's go!"
The sun slowly rose, and after the two of them got off the tree, Xia Xue brought a large number of arrows piled up in the grass under a big tree not far away, and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking at so many arrows, Ouyang Qian opened her mouth even more in surprise, I don't know how many enemies I killed, it seems that the queen must have fought all night last night. But when she looked up and saw the delicate figure of the queen who was carrying arrows on her back and cutting through thorns and thorns in front of her, she couldn't see a trace of tiredness, she looked so energetic, and couldn't help muttering to herself in her heart: "Your Majesty is really a god, she must be a fairy who descends to earth!" "My heart was filled with admiration.
After climbing to the top of the mountain, the dense forest suddenly disappears, the slopes of the waves swaying in front of you, and in the morning light, a faint layer of mist rises from the valley. There are also trees at the top of the mountain, but there are not many of them, but they are enough for shade. This mountain is the highest of the nearby mountains, and the view is very open, and you can see the movement around it very clearly.
Xia Xue chose a defensive point and built a protective wall with stones, trees, etc., to defend against the enemy's bow and crossbow attacks. Place a large number of arrows in the defensive wall for easy access. Then set up a lot of hidden trap traps in the hillside trees around 10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters, 50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters, 80 meters, and 90 meters from the top of the mountain, she wants to let the attacking enemy pay the price of casualties every 10 meters after entering the distance of 100 meters of crossbow arrow attack, and she can also use the hidden trap mechanism to slow down the enemy's attack speed, so that she and Ouyang Qian can win a certain amount of respite.
After all this, Xia Xue stood on the top of the mountain and carefully observed the surrounding mountains and forests with infrared thermal imaging telescopes for a while, and she saw that a large number of enemies in the distance were slowly approaching the mountain, although the enemies were hidden in the mountains and forests, they were unobstructed in the infrared telescope.
"There's still some time, hurry up and eat and drink water, there will be basically no chance to eat after the battle starts." No matter how urgent Xia Xue is, she will never forget to replenish energy and water in time, which is a necessary condition to ensure sufficient physical strength.
The two of them hurried to eat breakfast, almost swallowing dry food and water like a storm, and they didn't even have time to taste the taste of the food, Ouyang Qian had never eaten breakfast so quickly, and she rolled her eyes.
After breakfast, Xia Xue carefully checked the bows and arrows of the two, took out two folding crossbows from the baggage, and installed and debugged them. She knew that the advantage of a bow and arrow was that it had a fast rate of fire and a longer range than a folding crossbow, but the bow and arrow were more arm-intensive, and if you used the bow and arrow for a long time, her arms would be unbearable. Folding crossbows are more labor-saving, you can use your feet to help wind, and after attacking with a bow and arrow for a certain period of time, you need to change the crossbow arrow to attack and adjust your physical strength, so that you can shoot longer.
After all this, she stood up again and used the infrared telescope to observe the enemy's situation, and found that the enemy was already close to the hillside.
"Looks like I'm going to have to go with option B?" Xia Xue muttered to herself.
"Your Majesty, what is Plan B?" Ouyang Qian heard it in a fog.
Xia Xue took out a strange gadget from her backpack, tinkered with it a few times, and raised it to the sky, only to hear a "bang", and a red signal flare shot high into the sky. Then she shot two more into the sky.
"It's a flare gun, and when we see a flare, our reinforcements will arrive quickly. We didn't want to ask for help, but this time there were too many enemies, and we had to ask for help. Xia Xue sighed helplessly, I didn't expect the Mingjiao to be so powerful, it seems that after going back this time, the Mingjiao forces in the Angel Country must be completely eradicated, otherwise the country will have no peace. Although Xia Xue respects the Zong Sect and advocates the freedom of belief of the Zong Sect, it must be resolutely cracked down on this kind of Zong Sect that dares to assassinate the head of the state and openly confront the government. She decided to lure and hold back the Mingjiao Assassins at the top of the mountain, waiting for reinforcements to arrive and hunt them out.
"Ah, Your Majesty still has reinforcements, why didn't I find out?"
"Hehe, fool, I'm the queen, there must be people secretly following there, because they are all secretly following, of course you can't find out, they are all masters."
"Wow, who are the masters?"
"If I name one of them, you'll be eager to see him right away!" Xia Xue laughed.
Ouyang Qianqiao's face flushed, she had already guessed who it was? I was secretly happy in my heart, and I really wanted him to come over immediately.
