In the middle of the night, a strong wind swept and a sharp whistling echoed in the Great Rift Valley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe night sky at this time is exceptionally clear and clear, and the sky full of stars seems to have been carefully wiped down, shimmering with a charming shimmer.

Dressed in white armor, Caroline walked slowly through the camp with a long sword, occasionally smiling and nodding to the patrolling soldiers.

When the excited soldiers walked over, her expression would soon return to coldness, and her beautiful sword eyebrows subconsciously wrinkled slightly, allowing her long hair to drift in the wind.

After the skeleton attack on the camp yesterday during the day, she has been a little uneasy, and she always feels that something is wrong with this matter. It was difficult to sleep under the tossing and turning, so he simply put on his armor and walked out to patrol the camp.

Viscount Thomas patted his chest and promised that the shady undead creatures would never return, but Caroline knew that it was just Thomas's wishful thinking - a chance encounter with one skeleton on the road and ten skeletons by chance were completely different in nature.

In fact, Caroline has some doubts about this mission. Under normal circumstances, it would not take so many soldiers to transport supplies, not to mention that there are more powerful personal guards, which are more like escorts than transportation.

What to guard?

This is a direct order from the imperial court, and Viscount Thomas is vague, as a soldier, she has no reason to ask.

Thinking of this, Caroline looked up at the clear starry sky and breathed a sigh of relief: I hope it's really a coincidence~

Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, her eyes turned to the west side of the camp, a small hill dozens of meters away, and her vision suddenly became sharp.

There should be a warning area for the new barracks, and what about the soldiers who are on guard?

Caroline frowned slightly, moved suddenly, and her body was as light as a wild cat, and she came to the hill near the hill silently and quickly, with a hint of worry on her face.

On the hillside stood an old tree that had long since died, and its knotted branches made a low "whin" in the wind.

The old trees are surrounded by uneven mountain gravel, and under the faint starlight, there is a strong smell of loneliness and desolation.

The female lord quickly came to the top of the mountain, quickly glanced around, and while breathing a sigh of relief, a trace of murderous aura flashed in her eyes.

Fortunately, there were no enemies attacking the camp, which was a blessing; But the soldiers on duty at night neglected their duties and left without authorization, and their crimes should be killed!

After a quick glance, Caroline made sure that there was no hostile situation, so she turned around and prepared to return to the camp with a cold face. However, when her gaze swept over the pile of rubble on the other side of the hill, Caroline's slender eyebrows couldn't help but raise.

……

Yang Shou wore a simple hat made of withered straw, held a broadsword in his arms, and sat in a hidden crack with his eyes closed.

The senses of low-level necromantic creatures are dull, but they have an advantage over human vision at night. Therefore, Yang Shou chose to hide himself, so as not to be targeted by the undead scouts who may appear at any time.

There was a thick layer of thatch on the ground, and this position was just leeward, so it was much more comfortable to sit here than to stand on the top of the hill and keep watch.

Except for the occasional probe to look out, Yang Shou has been in the crack of the stone, closing his eyes and recuperating.

He was recalling a topographical map of the neighborhood.

In order to rescue Caroline and the human army, the players almost turned the Great Rift Valley upside down. In the end, although he did not succeed, he unexpectedly discovered many secrets in the Great Rift Valley, including a B-class treasure.

After too much time, Yang Shou only remembered that it was a paladin's tomb, and he would refresh a skill book of "Durability Aura". During the day, Yang Shou climbed to a high place just to confirm his exact location in the canyon, but he also ran into a few skeletons.

Yang Shou needed a moment to connect the memory fragments in his mind with the actual terrain.

"Wow~"

Yang Shouzheng closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly there was a sound of stones sliding down in his ears, and it was above his head!

He opened his eyes suddenly, and before his brain could give a command, the sword in his hand had already been raised with his backhand and swung out reflexively!

"Ding!"

This hit the next blow, but at the cost of the broadsword being directly shaken away, spinning in the air, and then "Bang! The sound was stuck right on the trunk of a dead tree next to it.

Yang Shou's feeling was like the blade of the sword being directly hit by a big hammer, and his entire palm was shocked and numb.

Without any hesitation, Yang Shou directly rolled forward and rushed out of the hiding place, picked up a stone by the way, turned his head and was about to throw it out.

Then he saw the heroic female lord standing behind him.

……

Yang Shouxuan's hiding location was so obscene that Caroline couldn't find out in the first place. Looking at the soldier who was in a ball of cats and cautiously poked his head out every few moments, Caroline felt both angry and amused.

Isn't this the recruit who competed with the pro-guards before, it seems to be called Yang Shou? This was the first time she had seen such a timid sentinel turn a bright whistle into a dark whistle.

Maybe it was funny, or maybe the girl's heart sprouted, and even Caroline herself couldn't tell why, she would make such a move, and quietly came to Yang Shou's side to deliberately scare him.

However, Yang Shou's vigilance surprised Caroline, this sword was fast and accurate, and there was still time to get a stone while turning over, even many veterans were not so sophisticated.

This recruit is interesting~

"Your Lord." Yang Shou immediately stood up, took off his straw hat, and saluted Caroline honestly.

Caroline jumped down from the stone and walked in front of Yang Shou. Under the faint starlight, the female lord's fair-skinned face exuded a charming cold light, which was as smooth as beautiful jade, which made Yang Shou couldn't help but move slightly in his heart.

"Your turn to be on duty tonight?" Caroline asked, looking at the familiar face in front of her.

"Yes."

"Who told you to hide in a crack in the rock? Do you know the consequences of violating military discipline? Caroline said with a cold face.

Yang Shou hurriedly lowered his head, looking like he had been taught to admit his mistakes, but after thinking about it, now that the opportunity is rare, Yang Shou still decided to tell the other party directly.

“…… Those low-level undead creatures only have the Death Minister, and they are slow to move, and it is very difficult to organize a sneak attack. Therefore, it is not reasonable to set up open posts around the barracks, and if we want to give full play to our advantages, the best way is to use dark sentry posts, so that the sentries can carry signal fireworks, which can not only send out warnings in time, but also avoid unnecessary casualties. ”

Yang Shou patted his waist, where there were two sturdy fireworks tied up, and continued:

"We may face multiple harassing attacks in the future. Therefore, it is better for the army to prepare in advance, organize a special cavalry team to deal with harassment, and let the main force of the army rest normally......"

These are all common senses that have been learned in the game over the years, so Yang Shou's words invisibly revealed a strong self-confidence, which made Caroline can't help but look sideways, and even forgot to teach this disobedient recruit a lesson.

This is not the performance of a recruit at all, even when he first joined the army, he was not as calm as he is now, right?

Yang Shou didn't notice anything about this, and just wanted to remind the other party to minimize future casualties as much as possible.

So when he reacted, Caroline's gaze had become quite playful: "Where did you know these things, and who did you learn from the cross sword technique you used before?" Even if it is the most famous sword hall in the imperial capital, it can't teach such an authentic cross swordsmanship~"

Yang Shou blinked, his heart was broken, and his feet were exposed.

Yes, even Bill can see the abnormality, how could Caroline, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, not notice it?

There was no way, Yang Shou could only repeat Bill's rhetoric again, and said in his heart, grandfather, don't mind, this can be regarded as giving you a long face~

"Your grandfather fought in that war?"

When she heard Yang Shou say that his grandfather participated in the war to quell the rebellion of the Three Lords, Caroline couldn't help but show surprise.

It was the only civil war in the history of the Empire, and everyone in the Empire knew about it. As one of the three major lords enthroned by the emperor, he took the opportunity to rebel when the empire was in crisis, and every subject of the empire hated him to the core.

Yang Shou nodded, but his heart suddenly moved: Caroline shouldn't know her background now.

Caroline's father was actually one of the three lords of the Eastern Frontier that year, the lord of Fir City, and the great knight Alan.

Caroline was not yet three years old when the war broke out, and after the war, the commander of the Imperial Army took Caroline back to the imperial capital and handed her over to the Emperor.

On the surface, the Emperor was tolerant and benevolent, but in fact he wanted to preserve his reputation and, of course, Caroline's extraordinary talent for swordsmanship and magic.

Could it be that she later became an undead, and it had something to do with it?

Thinking of this, Yang Shou narrowed his eyes slightly and decided to take a gamble.

"Forget about today,"

Maybe it was Yang Shou's previous performance that left some impression on Caroline, and it was also for the sake of Yang Shou's grandfather's face, Caroline didn't delve into it anymore, and waved her hand at Yang Shou: "You continue to stand guard, but if you have similar thoughts in the future, you have to report to your team leader in advance." ”

"Lord, please wait!"

Seeing that Caroline was about to leave, Yang Shou didn't have time to think about it, and blurted out: "Actually, some things in the so-called rebellion back then may be different from what you know. ”

Caroline was stunned when she heard this, and turned to look at Yang Shou again.

The name of the Grand Knight Allen is a household name, not only because of his legendary strength, but also because of his charisma. Caroline was actually curious about the former famous lord who was recognized as a traitor overnight and nailed to the stake of shame forever.

Yang Shou's grandfather is a veteran of that war, maybe he really knows some inside information?
