Chapter 104: News from the North
As long as there are organizations and awakened people in this land, there will be no possibility of the birth of a state.
Annabelle's idea was only a momentary sigh and the conditions for it to be realized are not yet available. She understood this herself, so there was hesitation in her tone at the end, even if there was nothing wrong with her yearning.
The Order wants to study how to create strong, controllable Awoken warriors here, and the Awoken want a hunting ground for what they want, and how can fragile humans build a nation that can resist both forces?
Unconsciously, Li Fang was immersed in thinking about this question.
If possible, of course he would like to live in peace and prosperity with Anna.
This book, which he borrowed from the innkeeper, recorded precious materials from the Renoir era, so after discussing with the owner, Li Fang bought the book and read it carefully for himself.
Fortunately, Annabelle has been helping him point out the words he doesn't know, and after reading through it, he not only gained a lot, but also felt that he was far away from illiteracy......
If the day comes when both the Organization and the Awakened disappear from the land, the word "state" will probably come back to people's minds.
Li Fang also had expectations in his heart.
……
The quiet days lasted for most of the month.
Until early one morning, a woman covered in a black cloak suddenly arrives and knocks on the door.
The already old wooden door creaked open, and the bright light from the fireplace made Li Fang see the faces of the visitors.
Octavia, her cloak still has some water stains, like the marks of the snow melting.
Li Fang consciously raised his gaze a little, because from the delicate collarbone that was inadvertently exposed, he could guess that the body under her cloak should be naked.
I was in such a hurry to come over, and I didn't even waste time to change clothes, but I was quite careful.
"Come on in, it's warmer inside."
As the climate gradually enters winter, the temperature in the room is getting worse and worse than the outside, and it is almost like two worlds.
Putting down the hood covering his head, revealing a somewhat cute and kind face, Octavia greeted the two with a smile on his face, and said in a nonchalant tone, "You should have guessed what I was here to say, the army of the Awakened in the north began to move two days ago. ”
…… It finally began, and Annabelle pursed her lips at the thought of not knowing which side this army of the Awoken would bring to bad luck.
"How many of them are there?" She asked first.
"It's a pity, I don't know, they are at the limit of my perception range, so many demonic qi are intertwined, even I don't want to get close, so it's hard to judge the number." After a pause, Octavia added, "If you have to say it, it's at least above 20, maybe more than 30." ”
No matter who their target is, Octavia herself will definitely not be implicated, so she is even very interested, this is a very rare big show!
"One thing that's funny, though, is that they're all walking in the form of awakened bodies, literally announcing their existence to everyone." There was a hint of appreciation in Octavia's eyes, "It's really an unscrupulous gesture, but with such an army, even the abyssal ones may not be able to retreat in their entirety." ”
"It's not much, but it also takes demonic power to maintain the awakened body, and the romantic thoughts of those men are really interesting."
Most of Isli's men are male awakened contemporaries of his time, and perhaps thanks to his control, those brave and ruthless creatures have always lived in peace in the north.
In addition, most of the Awakened do not like to act in groups, and only under the orders of the Abyssal will there be such a large-scale gathering of the Awakened.
However, the downside of group action is that it will be slow, and they may be deliberately slowing down...... In order to attract the attention of all parties for ISLI, delay time.
"Is there any information on the soldiers stationed in the north?" Since there was no discrepancy between the number of awakened people and the memory, Li Fang asked the question he was more concerned about.
"Well, what a coincidence, there are indeed four warriors gathering towards Merktown, and that place happens to be in the direction of the Awoken."
Octavia stepped forward, only half a step away from Li Fang, and she guessed, "Could it be that there are warriors you know in there?" Or did you know that the organization would have this arrangement? ”
The glow of the fireplace shrank into a little bit and was reflected in her eyes, and her nose caught a scent different from Anna's.
Li Fang took two steps back and denied: "I'm sorry you guessed wrong, but I don't need to tell you the reason." ”
"What a boring person."
"If there is no other useful information, then my commission will be completed by you."
Out of courtesy, Annabelle gave Octavia a set of her outfits, and although the two seemed to have very different aesthetics, Octavia finally accepted the offer.
Before leaving, Octavia suggested that it would be best for the two of them to bring the latest information from the North back to the West right away, after all, even if her Awakened Body was very good at running and rushing, it would take nearly two days to get back.
And in the meantime, perhaps those gathered warriors have come into contact with the army of the Awoken and turned into stiff corpses in the ice and snow.
……
A sudden blizzard slows down the raiding party.
Snow fills the eyes, and the cold wind whistling in the ears obscures all sounds...... It's a really difficult task.
In the snowstorm, a woman said loudly to her companions, "Lucia, how far are we from the Awakened?" ”
"It's just ahead," replied Lucia, "but, wormwood, I think it's leading us in this direction!" ”
"It's okay, the intelligence says that the Awakened was only the last one, and we have Aihua here." On the other side, a woman's cheerful voice came.
"Don't be careless, as long as you are an awakened person, you must go all out." The woman who spoke first advised: "Everyone mentions, this environment is even more unfavorable to us, don't be attacked!" ”
The blizzard continued, but fortunately, as swordsmen, they were not afraid of the cold and had super physical strength, so they could continue to move forward in this weather.
Endless snow pours down from the sky, like a curtain of snow across the sky. Ai Hua suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart and continued to move forward with her teammates.
Until countless tall shadows appeared in the snow curtain ahead......
"Excuse me!" Lucia's face was full of panic, "I didn't perceive it just now!" No, there are awakened people on the other side who can be demonic! ”
Countless deep and fierce beast roars came from the snow curtain, and despair could not be suppressed......
