After they recounted it in detail, we learned that it turned out that these two people had accepted the order of the lord of Iwaki City and were going to go to Rock Mound Fort to move rescue troops.

After all, although Iwaki is nominally a border city, it is claimed that there is a 500 Ant Knights stationed, but the ghost place of Iwaki is not so much a city as a very small town, and the total number of Ant Knights who are usually stationed here has never exceeded a hundred, and the excess number is arranged to garrison Rock Mound Fort.

Not to mention that the local city defense force is far from sufficient, even if there are really 500 cavalry in the city, it will not be enough for the other party to stuff their teeth in the face of the countless marching ants surging from all directions. Of course, it would be a different matter if this order of knights was made up entirely of heavy cavalry.

All in all, Iwaki City, which has been in peacetime for many years, is far from being prepared for the crisis, and if it weren't for the pedestrians who came up from the official road in the early morning to warn the city defense garrison, perhaps this knight group would not have known that a catastrophe was coming.

When the garrison spotted the red torrent in the distance, they knew that this was far from a force they could stop, so at that time, they had already decided to ask for help.

It stands to reason that the best option is to rush to Sand City in the northwest, as it is the closest human city to Iwajo, and it is also the only city that Iwaki official roads can directly lead to.

But they were desperate to find that the beacon towers along the direction of Shacheng had been ignited since they didn't know when, and the wolf smoke reached the sky, and Shacheng was probably already very lucky.

As a last resort, the city defense garrison sent ten soldiers, riding ants, to the east, intending to cross the vast Gobi and cross the rocky sand mountain to Yanqiu Fort for help.

Later, in fact, we all know that there was also a red torrent sweeping in the east, forming a flanking attack with the sand city in the west, such a sudden attack caught the rescue team off guard, and everyone scattered and fled almost lifelessly, and these two soldiers coincidentally followed our team.

Seeing that we were taking the lead, they also ran over, until such a huge stone chamber suddenly rose from the ground, and when they saw that there were marching ants everywhere, they also gritted their teeth and followed, until now.

According to the two of them, they didn't want to alarm us at first, they knew very well that we had a magician in charge, and they didn't dare to offend, so they covered their bodies with ants, intending to hide here quietly until the marching ants left, but we didn't expect to find their whereabouts.

Knowing the whole story, all of us breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was just two people who had taken refuge, not marching ants who had mixed in, it was all a misunderstanding, which made our hearts inexplicably frightened for a while.

However, with this misunderstanding, it is difficult to guarantee that people will not associate with something else.

Xiao Nan dragged Phyllis and asked, "Is this house sturdy?" Marching ants can't get in, can they? ”

It was not Phyllis who answered Xiao Nan's question, but Niu Kelian.

I saw Niu Kelian smile and said, "You guys, don't worry about this leisure, let's rest here." You see, the walls are painted with spirit symbols all around, and we don't have to worry about it unless all the marching ants give up attacking Iwaki and instead turn their heads against this small house. ”

I asked uncertainly, "If they really plan to attack this house, won't we be finished?" ”

Niu Kelian smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Brother Cat, don't worry, they won't pay attention to us." ”

"Why?"

Niu Kelian asked, "If you were walking in a one-meter-wide corridor with a box that you could walk over with your legs, and an unlocked door that took up the entire width of the corridor, how would you get through these two obstacles?" ”

Without thinking, I replied, "Naturally, the box will go straight over, and I will push the door open and walk over." ”

Niu Kelian nodded and said: "That's right, the box is just a dispensable obstacle, and the door is the place that needs to really pass through, and now, the 'person' walking in this corridor is the marching ant, and the 'box' is the room we are in, only Iwacheng is their target, and the marching ants will definitely ignore us and attack Iwacheng instead, so you can rest assured." ”

Niu Kelian, a man who has traveled from south to north for many years, is pulling everyone to explain his 'talk of experience', I don't know what other people's attitudes are towards this, I only know that I don't have the heart to talk to them at all, because my mind is immersed in the words 'spirit avoidance symbol'.

Niu Kelian said that he had no intention, but I, as a listener, were very interested in these four words.

Since I came to this world, I have seen the most things, not ants, not spiders, not lizards, and in only four days after I came to this world, I have seen this strange symbol called the 'spirit symbol' more than once.

Whether it's in the forest, on the official road, or on the rock barrier of Iwaki City, or the magic used by Phyllis, this hourglass-like symbol is everywhere, and it can be seen almost everywhere you go. Strangely, this symbol only appears on things that are bordered by the 'edge', such as the edge of the official road and the protective barrier of Iwaki Castle.

I've guessed on my own what this symbol does, and it's probably a special symbol set up to prevent the biters from attacking the humans.

From my conversation with Tilis a few days ago, and from the side knocks from Niu Kelian's mouth, I used to think that these symbols formed an enchantment that would prevent the area of human activity from being infested by insects, and even the environment we were in at the moment, which was also blessed by these symbols.

But if this is indeed the function of these symbols, then how can these marching ants be explained? Whether it's the rock barriers around Rock Castle or the official road in the direction of Shacheng, there are countless of these symbols, and if they can shield them from insects, then why are we running so hastily now?

In the course of our chat, I asked Niu Kelian this question, but he frowned and shook his head, indicating that he was not particularly clear about this issue. He said that it was a special magical symbol, and that it was one of the most well-known to the general public, and that perhaps asking a magician who specializes in these magical symbols would give the answer.

I couldn't come up with an answer, so I simply didn't bother with this question anymore, but secretly kept an eye on it.

Just as I was thinking deeply, Niu Kelian touched my arm and asked, "Brother Cat, are you okay?" ”

This movement pulled my mind away from the 'Soul Symbol'.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Niu Kelian smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that you look absent-minded, is there something on your mind?" ”

I smiled and waved my hand and said, "Nothing." ”

Niu Kelian didn't care, just said: "We discussed here just now, combine your two flower elf cars, let's get a big car and put everything in it, so that it is more convenient for us to act, I don't know what you think?" ”

Hearing this, I was really stunned for a while, I didn't understand what this meant, I wondered, "What? ”
