Chapter 129 Silver Lake
The mist had cleared, and Lin Yuan had already evacuated from the lake with everyone and returned to his main cavalry force on the Gobi Desert.
The condition of the worm has stabilized, and there are no signs of serious poisoning except for the numbness and bitterness of the tongue.
Everyone surrounded Lin Yuan.
"King! Is what Admiral said true? Is there really a ghost in that lake?? ”
"Oh, I seem to have heard the old man say that after a woman committed suicide in the lake, she turned into a female ghost, and then seduced men everywhere and drowned in the lake......"
"There must be something wrong with this lake, you look at General Yuza, what has become of him after drinking water, I said, let's bypass here, get out of here quickly......"
“……”
Everyone said in a gossiping voice, although these Sabah people, although they have obeyed Lin Yuan's rule, the savage nature in their bodies is still difficult to change, and they speak without going through their brains at all, and they go straight to the point.
But that's fine, for Lin Yuan, it was much easier to rule such a simple tribe than those who were intrigue.
He smiled slightly, then raised a hand, and the surroundings gradually fell silent, and then he said:
"Nope! We can't leave, we're going to take this place! ”
The crowd was in an uproar......
"Huh? King! There's a female ghost in there! How do we fight?? ”
"What is the use of this oasis? The lake water inside is not drinkable, and there are no big prey, so if we have this time, we might as well hurry south and join the tribe......"
"That's right! That is, our supplies will almost last a few more days, and there must be other oases on this Gobi, let's go......"
Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly, his brows furrowed, and he roared loudly:
"Shut up! Dry! Are you kings or am I kings? ”
The surroundings instantly fell silent, and everyone stared at Lin Yuan.
"Have any of you ever seen a female ghost with a bow and arrow???"
Lin Yuan frowned and scolded everyone angrily.
Several Sabhans bowed their heads, ignoring an obvious problem.
"Have any of you ever seen a ghost or actually encountered it?"
A few Sabah people wanted to speak and stopped, but finally kept their mouths shut, they really hadn't seen it.
"If you want to talk about me, there are no demons and monsters in this world! Except for the true God we believe in, everything is false and false! The same goes for the women in this lake! He's not a female ghost at all! He's just an ordinary man! ”
A young Sabah suddenly puffed up his chest and said with a stubborn expression:
"That! So why is that woman able to walk on the water? Why did General Raza feel uncomfortable after drinking the lake water? “
Lin Yuan snorted coldly and said:
"Hehe, since you want to know so much, then come with me and let us conquer this oasis, and everything will be clear soon??!! I'm going to defeat her now! Overcome the fear in our hearts! Are you going to go or not??? ”
There was a sudden silence around, and then a woman's voice rang out:
"I'll go! I don't believe it, except for the god of heaven and fire, what other demons and ghosts are there in this world? ”
Jiu Yao took a step forward, she was riding on a brown mare with two people on her back, and she also sat a small oil bottle on her chest.
The little oil bottle hummed, and also raised his small fist, expressing his support for Lin Yuan's decision.
"I'm joining too!" Hou Yi stood beside Lin Yuan.
He hesitated for a moment, struggled to get on his horse, and shouted in a hoarse voice:
"! Lao Tzu is alive...... Ahem...... It's been so long and it's the first time I've been so embarrassed, and I can't convince the public if I don't kill a female ghost! Brothers, follow the king! ”
Seeing that Ganzha had also joined, the remaining Sabah cavalry finally let go of the revenge in their hearts, and one by one they held their spears high, ready to attack.
After about a torch, the Saba cavalry scattered in all directions, and under the command of Lin Yuan, formed a circular formation and surrounded the oasis.
Lin Yuan made up his mind, the woman in the lake was definitely an ordinary person, although he had been fooling these primitive people about the fire gods and gods, but, in essence, Lin Yuan, who had been educated in school since he was a child, was a standard materialist atheist, so he didn't believe in any unexplained supernatural powers in this world at all.
All the strange phenomena that are not visible at the moment will definitely be explained by science in the end.
Including this female ghost incident, of course, including his watch and crossing.
Under the command of Lin Yuan, many Sabah cavalry began to shrink the encirclement and stepped into the oasis step by step.
Under normal circumstances, it is common sense that open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, but there is a limit to this kind of thing.
If there is a clear gap in the strength of the two sides, the enemy in the shadows is not the opponent.
Lin Yuan used this very simple and crude, but very effective tactic, that is, strong attack!
The cavalry of the Sabah tribe has the ability to fight with one to ten, coupled with the characteristics of the high-speed movement of horses, they have an innate advantage in the encirclement battle.
At this time, if you overcome the fear of female ghosts in your heart, then in fact, no matter who the enemy is, the person hiding in this small oasis is not an opponent.
Sure enough, when the encirclement approached the lake, the enemy showed his horse's feet.
A short arrow shot out of the mist and hit one of Lin Yuan's cavalrymen, and with a wail, the cavalryman clutched the arrow on his thigh and howled.
This howl warned the nearby Sabah cavalry, and at the same time, it also exposed the enemy's traces, only to see Hou Yi take the lead, with a few cavalry quickly crossed over, and rushed violently in the direction of the arrow, only to see them rush into a bush, after a few shouts, Hou Yi came out with a short man.
"The King!! We caught !! ”
Lin Yuan hurriedly rode away, and he found that what Hou Yi was holding in his hand was a very short and thin man, he was naked, only using some leaves to cover the key parts, his whole body was covered with mud, and his eyes were terrified.
Lin Yuan laughed and said to the surrounding Sabah cavalry:
"Look, everybody! This is what you are afraid of...... Have you ever seen a ghost that is scared of people? Ha ha! The powerful Sabah people are actually afraid of such a small dwarf? Are you ashamed?? ”
The surrounding Sabah cavalry heard Lin Yuan's taunt and lowered their heads in shame one by one, and at this time, suddenly there were several roars of the Sabah people from another direction.
"There is a situation!" Scar's eyes widened, he roared, and quickly rode over, and behind him, followed by several Sabah cavalrymen.
Lin Yuan pierced the true face of the enemy who pretended to be a ghost, which made these once proud Sabah people couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed, and now that there was an enemy situation found in other places, how could the Sabah people who had always been competitive miss such a good opportunity, and they were eager to catch the enemy as soon as possible and vent their evil anger.
Lin Yuan smiled and stood quietly in place, listening to the roars and sounds of battle coming from time to time in the surrounding oasis.
"King Yan...... How do you know it's these little guys who are playing tricks? ”
Hou Yi tied his captive behind the stone, raised his head and said to Lin Yuan with a look of adoration.
"No, I didn't know that." Lin Yuan replied lightly.
Hou Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Huh? Then you are ......"
"I just trust my intuition, Hou Yi, you have to remember that sometimes, intuition is more important than reason......"
"Hmm......" Hou Yi nodded, and silently recited Lin Yuan's words in his heart a few times, he had to firmly remember King Yan's teachings.
“…… Yanwang ...... This oasis ...... Is there something important? Otherwise, with your strategic vision, you will not necessarily insist on capturing this place in the future...... Is it? ”
Hou Yi suddenly raised his head and asked.
Lin Yuan was taken aback, Hou Yi's question was a bit surprising to him, but this is a good thing, he knows how to think.
"En......" Lin Yuan nodded slowly, noncommittal, and then looked at Hou Yi and said:
"Well, I'm not entirely sure, but right now, I think my instincts are correct, here...... There is indeed one very important thing...... By the way, why do you think I need something here? ”
Lin Yuan asked with a smile.
Hou Yi touched the back of his head a little embarrassed and said:
"Uh...... Actually, it's nothing, because I've been with you for so many years, and I know that you're not an emotional person, and if it's just to vent your anger, you shouldn't be so energy-consuming to capture, and if you can make up your mind to besiege, there will definitely be a reason for you......"
"Hahahaha......" Lin Yuan laughed loudly a few times, led the horse to Hou Yi's side, and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
Boy, you're making a lot of progress......
……
A brief battle was soon over, and all the woods inside the oasis were searched by the Sabah cavalry, sparing not a single plant.
They caught a total of 11 enemies, all of them thin and small, covered in mud, and their weapons were nothing but a rudimentary short bow, so when the Sabah cavalry found them, they did not resist and were quickly captured.
In this battle, there were no casualties on either side, and the Sabah cavalry suffered no other losses except for two non-fatal arrow wounds.
And those small enemies were not so lucky, several of them were beaten by the angry Sabah people covered in blood, if it wasn't for Lin Yuan's order to keep them alive, they would have been torn apart by the angry Sabah people long ago.
To dare to pretend to be a ghost to the powerful king of plunder, the Sabah, is simply asking for trouble......
"Worm! Let the soldiers gather, yes, to the lake, this is where we met the so-called female ghost before! ”
Lin Yuan ordered.
He gathered his soldiers together again and formed a strong phalanx, facing the strange waters of the lake, ready for battle.
He then ordered his soldiers to throw the 11 captives he had captured to the edge of the lake, and next to each stood a Sabah cavalryman armed with a bone blade.
"Hey! Woman in the lake! Don't pretend to be a fool of me...... Give you a chance, before the shadow of the tree grows, if you come out and surrender, I'll bypass these people of yours, if you still don't show up...... Then I will cut off their heads and sacrifice them to your god of water!! ”
Standing by the lake, he yelled loudly at the lake as Lin Yuan had commanded.
The water of the lake was still the same, there was no reaction, nothing but a mist above......
The reaction of the 11 captives was the same, one by one, bowing their heads, quietly kneeling by the lake, without any movement, these captives have not spoken since they were caught, as if they themselves could not speak, or...... They don't have tongues?
Lin Yuan gestured to the dragon, who yelled at the lake a few more times.
Long...... The impulsive and irritable Bug finally couldn't help it, only to see him angrily kick a captive, pull out the bone blade at his waist, and clamp the knife to the captive's neck, just as he was about to cut it down.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew......
"Ahh See...... Take a look!! ”
One of the Sabah horsemen shouted.
Lin Yuan's brows also furrowed, and he couldn't help but look up.
A woman with black hair reappeared on the surface of the water at some point......
The fog on the lake is even thicker...... (To be continued.) )
