395. Rattlesnake
In the desert far away from the city, a desert jerboa smelled the sound of water and came to the middle of two small sand dunes, unbeknownst to it, it had fallen into a trap.
Beneath the sand, a rattlesnake pounced, biting the stout jerboa and swallowing deep into its body.
The jerboa was still struggling, and the rattlesnake squirmed its throat and squeezed the jerboa hard, and a section of its body obviously became thicker, which was the shape of a jerboa.
As an animal that can survive in the desert, the jerboa has a tenacious vitality, and the rattlesnake tossed for a long time before finally letting the jerboa turn into liquid in its body.
……
Lying on the bed, Xia Yi was holding Tufusi, the girl had no strength, she lay on Xia Yi's chest, and looked at him unconvinced: "Why is your physical strength so good?" ”
"Actually, I only have good physical strength there." Xia Yi smiled evilly.
"Don't move, I can't do it."
Spit out jerboas, rattlesnake trying to escape.
"Don't come here!" Tufuss shrank to the edge of the bed.
"Don't worry, I won't do it to you again." Hugging Tufus again, Xia Yi pinched her cheek, "Your voice just now is probably known to everyone in your family, if you call again, I'm afraid someone will come to the door to beat me soon." ”
"My father and Seth went out, and the remaining slaves, hearing it, heard it, what could happen." After observing for a while, seeing that the jerboa had no intention of moving, Tufus closed her eyes in relief.
Although Xia Yi was not sleepy, he was able to lie on the bed with Tufus, and there was no reason to let go.
In the evening, the General and Xia Yi's unqualified rival Seth walked back, and they quarreled along the way, waking Tufus too.
If other heroines are to be fought like this by Xia Yi, they will have to lie down for at least a day before they can resume normal walking.
But Tufuss only frowned, took the cloth and wiped herself, and got dressed and walked out.
Xia Yi also followed her.
"What's wrong?" The girl asked her father.
"A couple of guys threw themselves on their comrades and howled." The general's expression was indignant.
In this city, sacrifice is a glorious thing, so lying on the body of a sacrificial comrade-in-arms and crying is a blasphemy against the glory of comrades-in-arms.
"After all, this is their first time on the battlefield." Seth advised, "Don't be too harsh, General. ”
"How can I be harsh on them, isn't my Tufus also on the battlefield for the first time, do you see her crying, those guys are not even as good as women?"
Realizing that persuasion was useless, Seth gave up. The general said a few more words, and the four of them had dinner together and went to the central square of the city.
It was a large open space, and it was usually a place where citizens were gathered to listen when something important needed to be announced.
Now, it was full of warriors, warriors who had died in battle.
There are too many corpses to bury unless they are buried in the desert. But if the wind blows in the desert for a few days, the body can be blown out, and it is better not to bury it.
So, the corpses of the warriors were piled together, and on top of them were fluffy grass and sturdy branches.
The general picked up the torch and lit the grass.
A great flame rose and dispersed the darkness around it, and the citizens stood under the flames, the swaying of the flames like a ritual, and the crackling of the flames like music.
"They are walking with glory!" The general said loudly in a hoarse voice.
With that, he turned around and walked to his house.
He didn't notice that after he was gone, the square was filled with weeping as a cry rang out.
Xia Yi, who was still in the square, noticed this, he frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but the family members who cried and died seemed to be fine.
After saving a file, Xia Yi returned to the General's Mansion.
The next two days were uneventful, and the citizens of the city were cheerful, but the gladiatorial arena remained deserted and deserted, and no one patronized it again.
Tuffus often passed, but without a gladiatorial fight, the gladiatorial arena was meaningless.
On the third day, a fast horse rushed in from outside the city, bringing bad news.
"What, the city-states have all surrendered to the deer?" The general slapped the table and stood up.
Originally, he thought that he had eliminated so many troops of Dalu, because of the involvement of other cities, Dalu would definitely not be able to free up his hands to deal with him, but he didn't want the cities of the city-state, except for the one where he was, to surrender.
Pinching his forehead, the general sighed.
He walked out into the yard, took out a wooden ladder and climbed to the roof, looking at the street and pedestrians below.
"Let's go, you take the residents and leave." The general said to Seth.
"Can't we surrender Dalu too?" Seth clenched his palms.
The general turned his head to him suddenly: "It is our glory to die in battle, do you want to turn your back on the glory?" ”
"We can still surrender, just like that time."
"Don't talk about fraudulent surrender, I didn't give the order to surrender at all! It's that rebel who takes my name! ”
At that time, the general was shot by an arrow and was seriously wounded, so he handed over the command to Tufus's brother, who did not want Tufus's brother to surrender with the army.
The general continued: "And the deception can only be used once, how can it have a second effect. You think about how many Great Deer people we have killed, how can they be merciful to us! ”
Squatting down, he was about to climb down the wooden ladder: "You go and gather the troops, I will take them to meet the big deer people for a while, and when you see that the situation is not right, leave immediately, and go through the desert to the other end." Tell the warriors that they will die with glory. ”
Seth didn't answer immediately, he was silent for a moment, revealing a chuckle that let out a laugh, "Heh, glory. ”
When the general heard this, he grabbed the ladder and knocked Seth down on the roof.
The two had a heated argument, and after the general repaired Seth, he left with three-quarters of the warriors, and Seth remained in the city to wait for news.
There was no news that day, and no news came the next day, and Tufs thought that her father had resisted the army of the deer.
But in the evening, Seth opened the gates and greeted the army of the deer.
"What did you do!" Tufus pinned Seth to the ground and drew her sword against his neck.
Xia Yi stood on the side, looking at the wind.
"As you can see, we surrendered to the Great Deer." Seth said.
"My father asked you to take the citizens away! Walk! Suppressed voice, Thufus's voice was hoarse.
"Where to go! It's not so easy to walk through the desert! Seth's face was equally hideous.
"If you can't leave, you have to leave, the big deer people will treat us as slaves!"
"No, I ......," Seth stopped.
"How do you know no, you've already consulted with the Great Deer people? Before the battle? Tufuss got to the point, and she pressed Seth.
