Chapter 246: Sword Scabbard

"My lord, please let me."

Under Ah Xing's repeated reminders, the mother finally took the courage to take her steps and wanted to leave this terrible place with her daughters.

All that remained were two broken door frames stuck in the stone, creaking and screeching in the wind, and shadows that fell to the ground swayed.

But when my mother's footsteps stepped on it, she suddenly seemed to encounter some insurmountable boundary and stopped.

Ah Xing hurriedly helped his mother, lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Mother, what are you doing, let's leave quickly, maybe, they haven't found out yet." ”

"No, silly boy, we're going to die like this." The mother shook her head in a daze, looking at the hilt of the sword between the door frames, the thin half-buried thing in the earth, which was insurmountable in her heart.

So, like a fool, she bent down to the hilt of the sword again, and respectfully begged, "My lord, please let me go." ”

It was the hilt of a sword thrown by an Imperial soldier, but Mother didn't have the courage to look at them at the moment.

Strangely, the Imperial soldiers over there did not respond to these two "calls", and they still surrounded the corpse, slashing out their swords again and again, repeating this mechanical action countless times.

The great fear made these soldiers like demons, as long as this secret was spread, everyone would die today. And now, the greatest danger comes from the dead cavalry captain.

A dead man can't speak, but even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance of revealing a secret, then he can't even leave a corpse.

However, not far from them, a mother and two children were standing at this moment, and the three of them witnessed the whole story.

But the soldiers completely forgot about their existence, and even the hilt of the sword that stopped the three people was thrown casually by a soldier who was too impatient to dispose of the corpses.

Why?

For even the most cautious of the world, it is impossible to dig three feet into the ground to see if there are any reptiles in the ground when talking about secrets, which is ridiculous and redundant.

The three Ionian pariahs, ant-like beings, and a finger of the dead Imperial cavalry squad leader lying in the mud were more worthy of care than the three of them combined.

However, in the rain of flying swords and swords, the team leader soon didn't even have a finger left.

The soldiers crossed their waists, looked at the pile of rotten flesh mixed with the mud, and stomped a few times until they could see nothing, and laughed at each other.

Wiping his sweat, the captain warned: "Clean up and leave quickly, be careful with me, don't leave anything related to our identity, not a single needle." ”

"Yes, sir." The soldiers began to check each other's equipment.

"Cole, where's your scabbard?"

"Well, it looks like I threw it there, I want to think about it......" The soldier scratched his head and slowly shifted his gaze, "Someone, don't touch my things." ”

In order to walk past the broken door frame, the timid woman finally mustered up all her courage, and with trembling hands, she took the thin scabbard and carefully tried to put it beside her.

At the soldier's shout, the woman trembled, and her body fell out to smash the broken door frame.

She held the scabbard and didn't dare to fall, so she had to let go of her daughter, rushed over, and knelt down with a pop. Frightened, he said: "Ah, my lord spares my life, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore." ”

"Come here, come here." The soldier hooked his fingers and told the woman to crawl over.

"Bah, shitty woman." The soldier retrieved his scabbard and kicked her away, "Stain my stuff, damn it." ”

He looked at the sword in his hand, thought about it, and inserted it into the scabbard, and condensed a ball of fire magic in his palm, ready to burn the to death.

"Wait." But the captain stopped him.

"Take these three people with you, don't talk nonsense, let's leave quickly and talk about it in another place."

The captain gave an order and hurried away with a few puzzled subordinates.

……

Outside the office building of the Intelligence Center of the Imperial Army's Front Command, Cassiopeia looked at the sky in a daze.

"My lord, it seems that you are in a good mood, what are you doing?" Li Mubai, who regarded himself as a loyal dog and gained initial trust, was much calmer, and actually made a little joke.

He knew better than anyone that Kaya, who was the top person in charge of the front-line command center at the moment, was about to deal with a hundred things that she was not happy with.

"Ugh." Kaya sighed, "What do you see these clouds in the sky look like?"

Today's weather is a bit strange, half cloudy and half sunny, with a layer of clouds covering the whole sky. But these clouds are so small and fragmented that they are almost all mixed together, and where can they see a complete appearance.

Li Mubai hesitated, and said an answer that maybe the little girls would like: "It's like a marshmallow." ”

Kaya sneered, "Haha, if that's the case, the children of the entire empire will be able to eat for a year." The children will no longer cry when they eat the candy, their parents will be able to work in the armory factory with peace of mind, the military headquarters will be able to arm more reserve legions, and the Imperial Lion will be able to dominate Valoran. And he will soon be able to rule the world. ”

Li Mubai's face trembled, and he wittily did not ask who he was, but diverted the topic: "My lord, you are really an optimist." ”

Kaya's face also changed suddenly, and she said coldly, "Really? It's a pity that in my eyes they are not marshmallows, they are locusts, they fly like the sun, they can devour everything in an instant, and sweep everything. ”

"......" Li Mubai didn't know what this example meant.

Kaya swept her hand forward, "Locusts are more terrible than war, they devour everything, and at the same time cut off their own way of life, although they are small and lowly, they can bring the destruction of the whole world. You know why? ”

"Why?"

"Because of ignorance, they are ignorant to fearless." Kaya pointed to the sky, "And there are so many of them that when they gather enough mindless companions, the force can't be stopped." They start, you see there. ”

Li Mubai looked up and heard Kaya's demonic murmur in his ears.

"It's too many, seven thousand eight hundred and fifty-six, seven thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven......"

"My lord, why are you counting these things, this is too ......" Li Mubai almost lost his words and said a stupid word.

However, it was as if his mind had been seen through, and Kaya suddenly stole a palpitating look.

Kaya regained the majesty of the intelligence chief and said indifferently: "Seven thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, so, now that at least two hours have passed, where are those subordinates of yours?" ”

Li Mubai was taken aback: "This ...... I really didn't care, but rest assured, they didn't have the guts to divulge today's events. ”

He swore that he didn't understand why adults were worried about such a trivial matter.

But Kaya suddenly became manic, pulling her hair and sneering: "Heh, even if it leaks it, that cripple is just scolding me." ”

She looked at the Imperial army camp in the distance: "Fool, what really makes me angry is that once again I didn't guess what the ants thought. The lame man was right, I don't know anything about ants. ”
