Chapter 34: The West Dominates England (14)
Escape! Desperately flee! Like a lost dog,
No! It should be said that it is worse than a lost dog.
Whenever you want to rest, sleep, eat, a large number of hounds will appear behind you.
The hounds barked wildly, as if to remind her that their pursuers were close at hand.
"Such a shame, I will always remember." Artoria bit her thin lip reluctantly, staggering, but fleeing with great speed.
"The so-called hunting game, especially when hunting some large beasts, should be patient, a little bit of physical and mental exhaustion of the other party, and when the other party is physically and mentally exhausted, you can start the net collection operation."
As he spoke, Randy took out a small piece of jerky from his pocket, crushed it little by little, sprinkled it on the ground, and watched the hounds in front of him desperately grab the food, Randy suddenly muttered to himself:
"But what kind of prey can be compared to the lord of a country? Hunting a queen is exciting to think about. ”
——————————
Fifteen days ago, Randy waited for half a month, and instead of waiting for Artoria's reply, he waited for some bad news.
After trying to control all of southern England, the Black Duke seemed to be full of confidence, and did not respond at all to Randy's temptation to trade for the two territories of Aquitaine and Normandy.
The Black Duke's troops are on the banks of the River Trent, across the river from Nottingham, and are currently transporting baggage.
Randy cursed and then contacted Robert II of Scotland.
But the other party also did not respond!
"Damn, these two bastards, Randy muttered, knowing that he had been abandoned by the other two allies,"
"Originally, I was the only one who abandoned others, but now it seems that the strong have their own strong players!"
Although the alliance has not been officially dissolved, in the face of New England and Scotland, the alliance has basically been formed, and the target is definitely itself.
So, Randy also needs to find a new ally, such as the Celtics.
But at the outset, such a proposal was met with firm opposition from the dwarves.
"No! Absolutely not! Absolutely not! How can we ally with the Celts? ”
"And what do you want? Kill them all? The other party is just a 16-year-old girl, how can my dwarf brother be so cold-blooded, where has your sense of justice gone? ”
Wald really didn't know when he and Randy were brothers, and what was even more strange was that the little girl who cut off people's heads on the battlefield was pitiful, and it seemed that it was Randy who defeated him to such a helpless point!
But Wald is just a dwarf after all, even if he feels something is wrong in his heart, he doesn't say it, but Wald has his own bottom line after all, so he pulls the other dwarf elders over and reprimands Randy.
As a result, a group of old dwarves in their seventies and eighties were reprimanded by Randy instead.
Randy had no choice but to work around the tracking.
"Guys, please think about it, although we and the Celts are fighting each other, but we have our own victories and defeats, not only our people have died, but the Celts have also died a lot, why are we so serious?"
"Of course we know this! There are victories and defeats on the battlefield, relying on their own means, life and death, wealth and nobility, we all admit these, but we got the news some time ago, the former dwarf king was captured alive after the defeat of the army, and then killed in a cruel way, and the death of the previous king, as well as hundreds of warriors of my dwarf tribe, this is something we can't accept no matter what, we are heroic, but after being defeated and captured, we were treated so cruelly by the other party, we ......"
"It seems like the elves did all those things, right?"
"That being said, but the elves were hired by the Celts."
"Wouldn't it be okay if we let the elves die, and then let the Celts and the elves draw a line?"
"If so...... That's fine, too! The dwarven elders discussed it and reluctantly agreed to this condition.
Randy quickly gave two orders......
First: a large bounty on the Celtic elven mercenary leader Kadis.
Second: personally lead the army, hunt King Arthur,
Randy doesn't care about the mercenary leader with a heavy bounty, and His Royal Highness King Arthur is getting weaker and weaker under Randy's careful efforts.
This kind of chase game has been going on for half a month, and after another chance King Arthur finally gathered his troops, King Arthur still gritted his teeth and insisted, but this is a meaningless insistence.
Today's Artoria is no longer looking for life, but for death.
At this point, King Arthur has completely understood that Randy doesn't want to kill her, although it is very disheartening to say this, but if Randy really wants to kill her, in the previous hunting games, Randy can be said to have deliberately missed several opportunities, and every time Artoria felt that she was going to die, the pursuers seemed to be blind, and gradually distanced themselves from themselves.
If it's once or twice, it may be a coincidence, but more than three times is too much.
"Which guy is kidding me!" After making such a judgment, Artoria felt a hint of sarcasm, and a hint of comical, in addition to being even more angry.
"But...... I must not let him catch me," Blocking King Arthur's last glory, Artoria chewed the grass roots, sucking on the last little nutrients left in the plant, and swore secretly in her heart.
"Soon!"
In the last few chases, Randy has even had a few encounters with Artoria, before which the queen would run away as soon as possible, leaving Randy with no back.
"In other words, her physical strength has reached the limit."
Three days later......
Artoria, who hadn't eaten, drunk, or rested for more than ten days, described her withered collapse beside a small river, as if trying to climb to the river to drink some water.
But now she is completely powerless, not even moving a finger.
"Is this the end of it? What an undignified way to die! Artoria was in a daze, as if she saw the gates of hell open to him again.
At this moment, Randy walked slowly to her side, squatted down and beckoned, "How many fingers are these, can you still see clearly?" ”
Perhaps because of extreme weakness, Artoria's IQ plummeted, and after trying to open her eyes and identify it, she said in a weak voice uncertainly: "Second ......"
"That's right, it looks like there is still salvation!"
As he spoke, Randy took out the salt sugar water that had been prepared for a long time from his waist, and he didn't know if there was any expired salt sugar water, poured it and then broke Artoria's mouth and fed it little by little, although Artoria bit her tongue a little halfway through the reaction, but because the other party's strength was too small, she didn't feel any pain at all, and she felt quite good overall.
Artoria seems to have resigned herself to her fate, and after determining whether the battle will be life-threatening, she falls asleep, or rather passes out, before being picked up by Randy with the princess.
"Game over!"
Randy said this as he walked toward his knights' guards, holding Artoria's thin, wood-like body.
——————————
When Randy returned to the barracks with his prey, even the hard-hearted dwarven warriors were embarrassed to shout at her.
Because it's so miserable!
Artoria's whole person was thin and out of shape in this chase game, and her skinny appearance seemed to be able to float up when the wind blew, which made almost all Vikings and dwarves ask themselves:
Is this really that King Arthur?
The soldiers who participated in the battle on the banks of the Thames shook their heads again and again, and they didn't want to believe that this little girl who was obviously abused and was about to starve to death was the demon god who single-handedly killed his own coalition army that day.
But whether they believe it or not, Randy does.
It's another beautiful day, and the snowy mountains of England in November are coming, and the era of the Nordic race is coming.
At this moment, it is the best time for the Vikings to fight.
And this is not to say how much bonus snow combat can bring to Vikings and dwarves, but snow combat can cause great inconvenience to their enemies, but for Vikings it is very easy and enjoyable.
And Randy is still recuperating, or Artoria, the nominally guest invited by Randy, is still recuperating.
Perhaps because the ten days of starvation and suffering were too impressive, Artoria began to increase her attachment to food after she came to her senses, and she had to eat a lot every time she ate, and it was precisely because of this that Artoria recovered quite well, and now her little face was as smooth as before.
If the steel chains that had been tied to her body were undone, she would surely return to her vigorous state, Egil thought as she fed Artoria food so that she could bond with her pet......
Immediately afterwards, the movement slowed down a little, the hand retracted a beat slower, and then it was bitten.
Bleeding......
Forget it, it will also make you bleed in the future, so you should pay it back.
Randy thought as he sucked on his fingers as he reached out his other hand to touch Artoria's hair.
I almost got bitten again, it's really dangerous!
Although she had been secured to the bed with a chain made by Enides, it was more than just her hands and feet that could be used as weapons, Randy thought as he took the bread and ate it himself, before seeing Artoria glaring at him.
"What's the matter? If you don't speak, even if you look at me with such sincere eyes, I won't understand. ”
"Still ......" is as loud as a mosquito.
"Be louder, you can't hear me!" Randy said as he put his hand to his ear and trumpeted as he stepped closer, making sure he wouldn't be bitten.
“………………”
The dignity of being a king is still there, and in the face of Randy's shameless behavior, Artoria reciprocates with cold contempt and does not say a word.
Randy retracted his head, deliberately making the bread louder, and snickered as Artoria pretended to be dismissive but secretly swallowed.
In the end, Artoria still didn't give up, and Randy walked out without hesitation, instructing the soldiers guarding the room, "Don't give her any food and water, starve her for two days." ”
Returning to normal life......
After Randy told Wald to lead an army of 8,500 Dwarves and 5,000 Viking warriors to defend York, Randy led his army south to Nottingham.
In the cold climate, the Trent River froze, and Randy crossed the river without much effort, and then crushed Edward IV's patchwork army of 20,000 troops under the city of London.
This period was a little longer than Randy had imagined, three days in total, almost four days, and Randy was the type who would forget about less important things when he got busy, which meant that Randy completely forgot about feeding a certain big cat.
Artoria almost died again......
"But even if I forget, you should remember, right? Why don't you alert me? Enides? Randy blames Enides as he feeds Artoria with cereal.
"Host, didn't you tell me before, my job is to answer your questions, and I don't need to ask anything else." Enides replied to Randy in a cold, mechanical voice.
Of course, Randy would never admit this kind of thing, or this kind of garbage memory has long been deleted by Randy.
But that's not the point! The focus is on Artoria, who came back to life again, looked at Randy with very complicated eyes, and took the initiative to speak.
"Why are you doing this to me? Wouldn't there be a better way to get revenge? ”
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, the reason why I am so obsessed with you is because I love you."
“………………”
Artoria paused, then asked, "Are you kidding?" ”
"It's true that I've told a lot of lies and lied to a lot of people, but this time I promise that everything I say is true, come, look me in the eye."
“………………”
Artoria stared into Randy's eyes, but couldn't see anything at all, as if Randy's eyes were an endless darkness that wanted to absorb everything.
Artoria sighed secretly in her heart, knowing that in her life, she might not be able to escape this man.
"Indeed, do you think you can still escape?" Randy suddenly became agitated and hugged Artoria.
"You are my prey, my trophies, my own, from skin to marrow, from life to soul."
Randy forcefully asserts his sovereignty over Artoria, completely ignoring the girl's extremely stiff body and increasingly unkind eyes.
"Are you an idiot?"
In a flash of lightning, Artoria breaks the shackles produced by Enides and kicks Randy.
However, it was miscalculated......
At this moment, Randy's movements were extremely fast and flexible, and like a lone wolf in the night, he instantly flashed Artoria's kick and punched him sideways.
"How is that possible?"
Listening to the swift sound of breaking the air in her ears, Artoria's heart was shocked: "In such a short time, this madman is so powerful?" ”
"So...... That's the power of love! ”
Seeing that the other party's speed decreased due to extreme surprise, Randy seized the opportunity, and did not pity the jade at all, and directly whipped Artoria away with a blow of the whip leg, and at the same time, Randy himself spit out a mouthful of old blood as if he had been kicked hard.
Go back five days......
Randy Tea and Rice Don't Think!!
"Although it's not impossible to lock her up all the time, but there is a case in everything, if that guy breaks free, there must be a strength that can resist her!"
"I suggest that the host kill her directly, so that the future troubles will be eliminated forever." Enides gave the most direct answer.
"Then did I go to such great lengths to get her back just for fun? Show me the redemption list. Randy began to rummage through it, and finally the emperor paid off, allowing him to find an item that was perfect for the situation.
Item name: Libra Ring
Item Function: Can increase or decrease the wearer's combat power to the level of the opponent's hand, worth 50K.
That is to say, wearing this ring to fight the demon king, you have the strength to fight the demon king, and you have the ability to fight the gods when you fight the gods, and this kind of thing is comparable to an artifact in a sense.
But the exchange price is as high as 50,000 point rolls, Randy checked his inventory, after some conscription and construction, the point rolls and gold coins have shrunk to varying degrees, but 50,000 point rolls can still be barely taken out.
However, Randy was a little dissatisfied, so he chose another deteriorated version of the Libra ring, which has the same effect as the original Libra ring, but with a special negative effect!
No matter how much damage the ring bearer inflicts on the other party, he will also suffer the same damage.
Worth 5K!
It was ten times cheaper, and Randy decisively bought the ring, and wore it on his hand happily, looking at the fluorescent flowing ring very happily.
This is the truth of Randy's own vomiting of blood after kicking Artoria out with a whip leg.
It's just that......
Is Randy's love worth only 1/10 of the genuine version? It's too cheap, isn't it?
