Chapter 26: The Assassins
Qin Ran's voice was not high, but it suddenly sounded on this silent battlefield, as if it was thunder, and it instantly spread throughout the entire battlefield. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Along with it, the entire battlefield was filled with a brutal, chaotic sulfur-like aura.
The frightened people seemed to have cracked a crack in the scorched earth that Qin Ran was referring to, and a demon with a fire burning all over his body crawled out of it.
Then, look up to the sky and roar!
"It's him! It's him! ”
"He's—he's back!"
Such shouts were scattered from the camp of the steppe people.
But just like the pebbles thrown into a calm lake, the ripples that spread out will only grow bigger and wider.
The leaders of each clan had to come forward to stop the disheartened army.
And, quickly sent one request after another to somewhere in the deepest part of the camp.
They just want to exclude dissidents and get more wealth.
It's not to put yourself in.
After about a few seconds......
The large battalion of the steppe people began to retreat.
Retreated a full thousand meters!
"Withdrawn! Withdrawn! ”
"The steppe people have retreated!"
Ecstatic cheers rang out over the rebuilt Thunder Fortress, and the soldiers were all smiling.
But such emotions did not affect Qin Ran.
Because, he knew that the retreat of the steppe people was definitely not soft.
Just for a better avoidance desire. The attack of the beast of hope, and just prepare for the next attack.
The wave of attacks in front of you was just a temptation.
It is not only a test of the Warren defenders, but also a test of his variable.
Wait until the next time the other side attacks, then the real war starts.
Even, Qin Ran could be sure of one thing, when he was within the range of the [Evil Eye Thousand Strikes], he summoned Desire. When the Beast of Hope was sniped, it was when he was sniped, and with his SS+ perception, he clearly felt that just when he released his demonic aura, several vague or irritable or cold auras appeared.
Although it was fleeting, these still showed a powerful aura under the demonic aura, which was enough for Qin Ran to pay attention to.
"Is the steppe people the strongest?"
Qin Ran muttered to himself.
Just as recognizing that quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, Qin Ran will never deny that when a country gathers its strength, there will be some strange people.
Once the base number reaches a certain level, there are far more powerful people who make people look at each other than you think.
Of course, according to the rules of the underground game, the more copies you have, the more such strong people will be.
Sometimes, the cardinality theory is denied.
Just because of the arrangement of copies of the game.
As for the present?
It's both.
In other words, it's harder to deal with.
Qin Ran once again walked to the tent where Mary and James VIII were.
This time, when passing by, the soldiers were still frightened, but there was awe in their eyes when they looked at Qin Ran, and they saluted one after another.
Anyone who can force the hosts back deserves such courtesy.
Outside the tent, Mary was standing.
There was undisguised joy in his blue eyes.
Unlike the soldiers around him, who rejoiced in their victory and survival.
This joy is completely because Qin Ran returned safe and sound.
"He just fell asleep, go to my tent!"
still refers to his father by his pronoun.
Then, Mary took Qin Ran's palm and walked towards the tent on the side.
No shyness, no hesitation.
Only nature and familiarity.
……
Mary's tent was a little smaller than James VIII's.
In fact, even James VIII's tent was not large, and with a soft couch, it could only hold one table.
And Mary's tent is naturally a soft couch.
After being rejected and sitting on the soft couch together, Mary did not have any dissatisfaction, looked at Qin Ran who was standing in front of her, and slowly spoke: "After this temptation, the grassland people should stop for a few days...... Let's hope our reinforcements will hurry! ”
Although she was still a minor, Mary was able to see why the prairie people had appeared before.
Even, because of the other mother's teachings, the girl was able to see more things.
But these things are nothing compared to 'reinforcements'.
Reinforcements!
Warren is not just a king, Durrell and a thundering fortress.
To the south of Lerdry, there is a much wider territory.
There is also no less territory in the north than in the south.
Reinforcements are lords from both the north and the south, large or small.
Bought more time, so that the girl has an extra hope in her heart.
But the girl was not blindly optimistic.
"The lords of all sizes in the north and south are all asking for help from Willshire and Shirinshire, which were sent three days ago, and if everything is normal, there will be a response in a day or two, but ......"
"The old earl of Wilshire has always supported my aunt, and it's really hard for him to send reinforcements!"
"However, Shilin County is located in the north, and even if they come, they will need to face the grassland army blocking the outside, and it will be difficult for them to give us direct help!"
The girl frowned, and her words were filled with helplessness.
"But it's better than nothing, right?"
"And...... I think you should write a letter to the old earl himself—tell him that if you don't send reinforcements, you will abandon the Thunder Fortress, let the steppe people go south, and wreak havoc on the noble realms headed by him! ”
Qin Ran said slowly.
The girl was stunned.
Even if she is mature, the girl is still kind at heart, and she has never thought of using this way to get reinforcements.
But Qin Ran is different.
All he needs to scruple about is the main quest: to ensure that Warren's royal capital, 'Leerdry', does not fall.
As for the rest?
Qin Ran didn't have any scruples.
"But, but ......"
The girl subconsciously wanted to refute.
"It's just a means of persecution!"
"As long as the old earl isn't really stupid, he knows what to do! Does he really think that without the containment of Thunder Fortress and Leerdrie, the south can still be peaceful? Or will the steppe people show mercy when facing the south? ”
Qin Ran comforted the girl.
There was also a fact in the words, so the girl nodded.
"Send Bosco to?"
The girl discussed with Qin Ran.
"Hmm!"
Qin Ran did not object to the coincidental candidates.
Then, suddenly, without any warning, Qin Ran picked up Mary.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then, her face flushed.
She opened her mouth to say something.
But before the words could be spoken, they were interrupted by a 'stab' sound of tearing cloth.
A long sword pierced one side of the tent and sliced through the couch.
Then, the long sword, which was so powerful that it should have sunk into the ground, jumped violently.
Like a snake scurrying up, it let out a snake hiss, stabbing directly at Mary in Qin Ran's arms.

Anyway, today I met a shop that eats Mao Cai and rice is free!
I really praise it, but it's a pity that the bowl is a little small, and I ate eleven bowls with a decadent appetite, but I wasn't full...... (To be continued.) )
