Chapter Thirty-Four: The Verge
At the other end of the line, Zoka sat on the ground with her back to the fortifications, observing the enemy through the Eagle Spirit, when a gentle male voice interrupted her. ranw?enο½?ο½?ο½?οΌ
"You've been guarding this place for days, go and rest, give it to me."
Zhuoka hurriedly opened his eyes, and sure enough, it was Cheng Xiaotian standing in front of him.
There was a commotion on the ground, and the dwarves who were on guard on the fortifications were all excited and whispering.
"Quiet!" Zoka let out a low roar, and unexpectedly, the dwarves seemed to be afraid of the little girl, and everyone immediately shut up, and the forward position was quiet again.
Cheng Xiaotian secretly praised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this little girl who looked delicate and weak actually had such a ability to control it, and she was much better than herself.
"My lord, how can you do this?" Zoka said eagerly.
In Azeroth, there is no tradition of commanders not being in the line of fire, and the more powerful the characters, the more they have to charge on the front line. However, it was when the two armies were facing each other, and it was really unreasonable to let the commander-in-chief be the observation post.
This is actually very easy to understand, when the two armies hedge, show their faces, how majestic! Stuck in the observation post, who knows you?
Cheng Xiaotian didn't have these vain thoughts, and when he heard this, he waved his hand impatiently, "If you go to rest, what so much nonsense." β
Zhuoka had no choice but to give up his position to Cheng Xiaotian and retreat into the mountains and forests. Cheng Xiaotian took the position and sat on the spot, and breathed and breathed
The reason why he wanted to come to the front line was because he didn't know when the reinforcements would come, and once the reinforcements charged from the outside, they could not immediately give strong support, and the effect of the flanking attack would be greatly reduced. From now on, he will stay here until reinforcements arrive, though he doesn't know who will come first.
When Cheng Xiaotian entered the position, in the syndicate barracks, the whip-scarred Sauron was walking through the camp. He walked very slowly, with some hesitation in his steps, thinking all the way.
Do you want to report a meteor flying over the Eagle's Beak Rock to the Duke? To bother the Grand Commander for such a boring thing, will he be whipped again? Thinking about it, he finally approached the big tent of the Chinese army, and after standing there and hesitating for a while, he decided to leave.
In his mind, it was just an excuse for Toth to lash him out, and in fact he guessed right, and that's exactly what Albert thought......
So the night passed peacefully, and the next day remained unchanged until nightfall.
After the sun set, the blue moon had not yet risen, and it was the darkest hour, when the curtain of the Syndicate was lifted, which had been closed for a day and a night, and Lord Facurrest finally walked out in good spirits. At this time, he was wearing a gorgeous robe, his beard was neatly trimmed, and his hair was combed brightly, not like a general preparing to go to battle, but more like a nobleman preparing to go to a banquet.
"Lord Jamil, please." Facurrest laughed and shouted back, the curtain was lifted again, and Jameel strode out, the black-clad masked man following closely behind.
Jameel glanced up at the dark eagle's beak rock, turned behind him, and said respectfully, "The time is almost up, sir can make a move."
Seeing Jamil being very respectful to the man in black, Facures's heart tightened, he originally thought that Jamil was the reinforcement left to him by Stormwind, but he didn't expect that the main owner was actually the puppet-like masked man.
The invitation had no effect, and the black-clad masked man was completely unresponsive, not even opening his eyes.
Jameel seemed to have just reacted at this time, sneered, took out a walnut-sized red crystal from his arms, and carefully held it in the palm of his hand. Facurest's eyes widened suddenly, there were red filaments flowing slowly in this crystal, like a beating heart, it seemed to be alive!
Jamil held the crystal, closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then began to chant the incantation in a strange tone. He pronounced it very jerky, and obviously he didn't understand the meaning of the spell, but he just pronounced it mechanically, and it was a little stumbling.
After a minute, he finally finished reading it, wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead. At this moment, the crystal in his palm shook violently, making a sound similar to the beating of his heart, and with this sound, the masked man's eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, emitting a miserable white light.
At the same time, Cheng Xiaotian, who had been closing his eyes and pranayama, frowned and opened his eyes.
Cultivators have an intuition that is different from ordinary people, independent of the five senses, which is called spiritual awareness, and the higher the cultivation, the more sensitive it is. Just now, Cheng Xiaotian's spiritual sense moved, and a dangerous aura rose from the bottom of his heart.
"What could it be?" Cheng Xiaotian frowned and looked south, that was the direction of the Syndicate camp, there, would there be anything that could threaten him?
According to the information obtained in advance, there were more than thousands of syndicate bandits, most of them were ordinary soldiers and bandits gathered from Xiao, mixed with some first-order samurai. In terms of management, there are only a dozen second-order warriors who can be determined, and as for the third-order masters, only Facurrest and his first general, Albert, are these people, who can pose a threat to themselves?
Thinking left and right and couldn't think of the result, Cheng Xiaotian simply flew up to the sky to find out, now he was holding Yuntong, the flying sword was around his side, and his face was solemn as if he was facing a great enemy.
Sure enough, as the moonlight fell, I saw all the members of the Cindiga camp dispatched, and more than a thousand people formed a straggler line in small teams, pressing over step by step. At the front of them, a slender man in black broke away from the group and walked to the line of fire first, dragging a black iron spear in his hand.
His eyes were as white as dead fish, glowing with a cold glow under the moon, not for a moment. The tip of the spear collided and rubbed against the rock, and the "sizzling" sound made the roots of the teeth sour.
Seeing this person, Cheng Xiaotian's pupils shrank, and the spiritual sense just now reappeared. Who is this? How can there be such a character in the Syndicate bandit army?
Cheng Xiaotian was puzzled, the one who could threaten him was definitely a first-class master, how could the bandits of the Syndicate be recruited? However, at the moment of the great enemy, it is useless to think about this, Cheng Xiaotian pinched the magic trick, and the flying sword around his body immediately accelerated, bursting out with dazzling blue light, and the sound of breaking the air suddenly became loud.
"Warning! Enemy attack! Cheng Xiaotian shouted at the position below, and Edgeworth greeted him.
As soon as his words fell, the rapid sound of the horn was immediately remembered on the battlefield, and the pot was immediately boiled on the eagle's beak rock, and the thunder spear dwarves hurriedly crawled to the line of fire to assemble, and the formation became a pot of porridge.
The battle began with the unprepared side of the trapped side, and in an instant, the sound of shouting and cursing on the eagle's beak rock rang out.
Cheng Xiaotian flew to the middle of the positions of the two armies first, staring at the man in black, waiting for the other party to approach.
In the syndicate formation, the adjutant Sauron saw Cheng Xiaotian and immediately straightened his eyes, isn't this the "meteor" he saw yesterday? I didn't expect it to be a person who can fly!
Not only him, but Jamil, who was walking at the front of the team with Facurrest, was immediately shocked when he saw Cheng Xiaotian, how could he meet this evil star wherever he went? I'm so unlucky?! He was afraid of Cheng Xiaotian from the inside out, his original confidence was swept away, and he even doubted whether he should take this errand.
At the foot of the mountain, the men and horses of the two sides each gathered behind their own fortifications, looking at each other with fierce eyes, and did not charge for the time being. The noise just now was gone, and more than 1,000 people confronted each other, but there was no sound, and the atmosphere was indescribable.
On the hillside, Sorge wore tattered armor and shouted to his people, "What's the matter?" These bunnies are going to be beaten now? β
He still hasn't figured out the situation, his side is full of food and drink, and he is guarding the fortifications according to the danger, how can the syndicate bandit army attack from such a large angle.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Zoka shook his head, his face unspeakably ugly, and stretched out his hand to point at the opponent's position. She is a hunter, her eyes are much sharper than the profession next to her, only she can see in this position, and there is a man in black who did not hesitate to climb over the enemy fortifications, dragging a black iron spear straight up.
Looking at this posture, the enemy actually wants to call for battle!
The man in black walked to the middle of the formation step by step, stopped and raised his head to look up, his miserable white gaze approaching Cheng Xiaotian. Cheng Xiaotian's heart was on fire when he was staring at him, and he was about to attack with a flying sword as soon as his eyebrows straightened, but at this moment, a crisp birdsong suddenly came from the south.
Cheng Xiaotian didn't need to look at it to know what was coming, and he was overjoyed, at the critical moment, his spell bird came with the news of Blue Feather! (To be continued.) )
