"This way, sir!" Smecta watched as Higg and Little White Cloud rushed up the hill quickly, caught up with him, and hurriedly shouted.

Higg hurriedly turned over and dismounted, sat down, gasping for breath, Xiao Baiyun was also covered in sweat, and the hair on his body was tightly attached to his skin.

"Sir, don't sit down!" Smecta cried, "The fire is about to burn!"

Higg laughed and said, "What's the hurry, the fire will take at least more than an hour to get here, hahaha, let's just rest and enjoy this spectacular scene!" You see, this great fire has completely separated the enemy from us, but it has saved us a lot of trouble, and we are safe! ”

Smecta didn't have the heart to look at this scenery, and said: "Sir is still in the mood to joke, if we don't cross this mountain as soon as possible, we will all be burned here!" ”

Higg ignored it and seemed to careless, and then said, "Smecta, let the whole army stop advancing and gather here to rest!" ”

"This ......"

"Go!"

Smecta was suspicious, and looked at the appearance of Hig Chengzhu in his chest, so he had to shout: "The whole army stops advancing, assemble!" ”

All the soldiers limped to the side of Higg and Smecta, who had already gone through a long run, fought fiercely with the enemy, climbed the mountain for nearly an hour, and could indeed no longer walk. There are still sixty-eight elven archers and one hundred and forty dwarven warriors left, all of whom have been injured to varying degrees, and because they have been deceived, they still have some resentment in their hearts, and they are about to explode!

"Smecta, set fire to the mountain!" Higg continued to speak to Smecta.

"What?" Smecta was surprised and asked, "The fire is big enough now, do you want to add to the fire?" Besides, the jungle is the environment that the elves rely on to survive, and our elves are not allowed to burn the mountains and forests for generations! ”

Higg stood up, found a dry place, drove the fireball, lit the jungle around him, and then said to Smecta: "I'm not an elf, or not all, I'll do such a bad thing as burning mountains and forests!" ”

"That's not what I meant, sir!" Smecta hurriedly said, "But, why burn the mountain? ”

Higg smiled: "If we don't burn the mountain, can we live?" Even if Xiao Baiyun and I can escape the wildfire, can you escape? ”

Smecta was about to ask, and there was a commotion in the jungle below the mountain, and many trees shook violently!

"Alert!" Smecta was shocked and hurriedly shouted.

"Don't panic, everybody up the tree!" Sigg stopped Smecta, and then said to the elven archer next to him, "Give me the bow and arrow!" ”

The elven archer hurriedly handed the longbow and arrow box to Higg, and quickly climbed a large tree beside him.

"It's a herd of wild boars!" Almost all the dwarves and elves cried out.

I saw countless wild boars running towards the hill at a rapid pace, and even the earth was trembling, and all the bushes in their path were thought to be flat.

Instead of going up the tree, Higg climbed onto Little Baiyun's back and bent his bow and arrows.

"Sir, don't!" Smecta shouted in panic from the tree, "Can't mess with them!" ”

Under normal circumstances, if attacked, this very retaliatory and very bloodthirsty wild boar herd will take crazy retaliatory actions, even if they climb the tree, they can still arch the roots of the tree, let the tree fall, and then collectively besiege the people on the tree.

Higg ignored it, and three arrows shot out, and the three wild boars fell to the ground at once, struggling desperately, but they were trampled by the large group of wild boars that caught up behind, and could not stand up again. The boars didn't seem to react, and just ran up the hill for their lives.

But the strange thing is that these wild boars don't seem to dare to approach Xiao Baiyun, and they all go around Xiao Baiyun's side. Higg fired two more arrows in succession, and six more wild boars fell, and by this time, the herd had almost all passed through their area and disappeared into the night, except for the trees that could still be seen on the hill shaking.

"Come down!" Higg laughed, "Hahaha, we've got an oral!" Tonight supper, eat roast pig! Smecta, I'll leave this job to you! ”

Smecta really took this guy Xige, and he was going to burn his eyebrows, and he still wanted to eat! There was no way, so he took a few soldiers with minor injuries, carried all the wild boars to a boulder, quickly and skillfully skinned them, removed the internal organs, and asked some people to find some dry firewood, and lit nine bonfires.

Higg took advantage of this time to treat the seriously wounded, and if these people were not treated in time, they would probably not be able to get out of this mountain at all, and they would probably not live for a few days.

Seeing Higg's miraculous healing methods, all the warriors were greatly encouraged, and saw the hope of survival, and gathered around the fire, ready to feast.

Nine wild boars, soon set up on the bonfire, began to sizzle with oil, and the fragrance wafted around.

Although these elves and dwarves are good hunters by nature, in the spring, because it is the breeding season of animals, hunting is forbidden in the forest country and the territory of the druids, so they can rarely eat fresh meat, let alone these slave-born soldiers.

The army gradually regained its vitality and began to talk and laugh, and the rest of its life after the catastrophe was originally something to celebrate, and all the complaints were not as important as surviving.

After Higg finished treating all the people, and the roast pig was cooked, Higg broke off the two hind legs of the pig and handed them to Xiao Baiyun, who unceremoniously feasted in the amazed eyes of everyone.

"Sir, the fire is going to burn, if we don't leave, we will become roast pigs!" Smecta looked at the raging fire under the mountain that was rapidly advancing towards this side, and his face was about to change.

"What's the hurry? Look up the hill! Higg cut off a pig's ear, took a big bite, frowned and sighed: "It's a pity, this wild boar that has just passed the winter is not fat enough, I think that in the silent forest, in the autumn season, we killed 800 wild boars as military food, the wild boar is too fat!" ”

Smecta and all the soldiers, who could hear what Higg had to say, turned to look up the mountain, and saw that the mountain behind him had been burned bare by Higg's fire, but there were still some sporadic fires burning on the ground, but the fire of the fire was still spreading to the mountain. Higg's fire actually burned a large area of fire house quarantine in advance.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Higg in admiration, only to find that this guy had already eaten with a mouth full of oil.

Smecta immediately ordered: "Everyone, eat quickly, and set off in ten minutes!" ”

The elves and dwarves shouted for joy and divided the nine pigs with all their hands and feet. The fire burned the mountain, the enemy cut off the road, and could no longer continue to pursue them, and in the eyes of the enemy, they were already certain to die, after the fire, even the need to clean up and find their traces may not exist, the road ahead has been opened, just follow the fire, and by the way, you can pick up some cheap prey that was burned to death and process it to replenish dry food.

By daybreak, the summit of the mountain was completely overburned, and the fire continued to spread down the other side of the mountain, much slower than when going up, just find a place that is not too steep, put out a gap in the fire, and you can go down.

……

Two days later, at the foot of the mountain.

"Sir, there are still seven or eight hundred kilometers away from my father's assembly place here, how to march, please make arrangements!" Smecta, who was already in a safe situation, breathed a sigh of relief, although there were only more than 200 people left, he successfully completed the task and survived, even he was surprised.

"I have no intention of going east to find your father!" Higg said, "All the way to the west, more than 900 kilometers, there is a city of Korqin, where my people are waiting for me!" ”

"What, you're not coming with us?" Smecta was surprised and said anxiously, "But, without Mr., we would not have the confidence to break through the blockade and reach Ontario!" Can you bear to watch these soldiers who managed to escape survive be wiped out by the enemy again? ”

"Smecta, I can't help you too much, you have to learn to be self-reliant and solve difficulties by yourself!" "It's like when you were in your village, bravely picking up the scythe!" ”

Higg said as he used magic water to wash the blood and soot off Xiao Baiyun's body.

Smecta and none of the two hundred or so soldiers moved, seemingly waiting for Higg to change his mind.

After Higg finished washing, he turned over and said, "After all, we have to separate, if you don't go, I'll go first!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Smecta suddenly said, "Sir, I'll go with you!" ”

"Let's go with Mr. too!" Many elves and dwarves shouted loudly.

"Nonsense!" "Do you know how important your mission is?" The army you successfully covered broke through, and the people who were alive were at least second-class military merits, and when they returned to the army, they won at least three or four consecutive victories, and if you didn't go back to lead the army, what would you do with me? ”

Smecta said: "Sir, when you first broke out of the mountain pass, you told me that no one should be left behind, and no one should be sacrificed!" Now that you're out of the ranks, I can't guarantee that everyone is alive, not even myself! Sir, do you want to break your word by yourself? ”

Higg was stunned for a moment, choked for a while, he did say such a thing in order to boost morale, in order to allow more people who were born and died together to survive, which was originally equivalent to a slogan, but was exploited by Smecta to ensure that everyone was alive. If you and Xiao Baiyun are familiar with the road, a distance of more than 900 kilometers, even if you take a detour, you can reach Horqin City in seven or eight days at most, and it is possible to catch up with Lan Xian'er and Maria, if you take these people, it will become a burden to yourself, and the way back is really far away.

"Please take it in?" Seeing Higg's hesitation, Smecta stepped forward and knelt down at Higg and said, "Smecta, the captain of the death squad, leads all the members of the death squad to ask Mr. to take him in, and we are willing to go to the soup for Mr." ”

"Please take it in, sir!" All the warriors knelt down and shouted in unison towards Higg's luggage.

"You really don't want military merit anymore?" Higg asked aloud on horseback.

Smecta said: "The military merits are gone, we can stand again, if the gentleman leaves, we will break up!" ”

Higg said, "I won't take your ......"

Smecta was anxious: "Sir......"

"Listen to me!" "I'm now heading west to Korqin City, and it's more dangerous than the road to Ontario. I can take you to Korqin City, but you are not my soldiers, I can take in Schneider's soldiers, and you can stay with me for the time being. When the time comes, you will figure it out for yourselves and then talk about whether you want to follow me! ”

"Oh, that's great!" The whole army cheered.
