Chapter Twenty-Three: The Storm Rises

The Demon Bone Desert, this barren land is a huge scar carved on the Qilin Continent in the ancient dusk. For centuries, the winds have raged here, and the flying sand and gravel have formed a curtain of yellow sand, isolating everything inside.

Now, in the center of the scorching sand world, a majestic and majestic portal stands here. It was higher than a mountain, and mortals stood on the front steps and looked up without seeing the top, and the inside of the gate was foggy, and from time to time lightning burst out.

Towards dusk, an alien man with two swords hanging from his waist stood in front of the portal, his head towering with fluffy ears, sword eyebrows, and a fluffy tail of edelweiss behind him.

"The new world that Her Highness has found for us" After retracting his gaze, the man asked, "Why is it different from the news?" ”

He was followed by a masked cat-eared woman with eyes as beautiful as pearls: "Lord Wang, although this place is desolate, the outside is extremely rich. ”

The Demon Bone Desert is just a drop in the ocean for the world, and it naturally makes sense for the portal to be built in such a desolate place.

The man looked up again, and in his sight a whirlwind swept the sand and stones to obscure the glow of the setting sun, and the whole world was dark, and the scene was so similar to their world that he could not imagine how rich it would be outside.

But no one can question the new world that their princess has found at the expense of everything.

"Where's the general?"

The man scanned the portal stairs below: a green stream of people surging through the desert, countless orcs in green uniforms. However, he did not see the shadow of the man who was called the god of war.

"General Bai Qi is cleaning up the pieces, and we have been discovered by the natives, who have launched an attack." Catwoman replied.

"Huh?" The corners of the man's mouth curled, and he was quite interested: "Are those people strong?" ”

"Nope." Catwoman's ears fluttered, and her eyes were full of disdain: "The general wanted to test the combat power, but he didn't expect that when the opponent outnumbered us by three times, we won the victory with only one charge"

"So weak!" The man was amazed in his heart, and he thought for a moment: "How long is it until the birth of our little princess who has never met?" ”

"Four months."

"Four months should be enough." The man pinched his fingers and counted the time, and there was a faint hatred on his face: "Her Royal Highness the princess died in a foreign land, let's use the blood of this empire to celebrate the nine-year-old birth of the little princess!" ”

"Search for the whereabouts of the little princess now, I think her father, the first mage of the human race, should have left a hint."

"Yes."

――――――

At night, Xia Han, who had been on the road for a day, finally returned to Jade City.

When he found a restaurant to eat, Xia Han found that the atmosphere in Jade City was a little strange, and the usually quiet night was full of tension at the moment, and the street still walked by patrolling soldiers from time to time.

[Are you looking for me?] 】

He was suspicious, but he felt that it was wrong, because in addition to the soldiers, there were also some civilians with sorrow between their brows.

"Hey, have you heard the rumors?"

"What rumors?"

At this moment, Xia Han heard the whispering in the restaurant, and he loosened his hat to make his ears more sensitive.

"This afternoon, the troops led by His Majesty the King to the Demon Bone Desert were unilaterally slaughtered by the aliens."

"Haha, how is it possible, I still heard the news of victory in the morning!"

"It's true, I heard that His Majesty was killed in battle, and his head was cut off."

Suddenly, Xia Han squirted water out with a 'poof'. The king died - so easily?

Although Xia Han had thought about this possible surname before, when he really heard the news, he still had a suspense in his heart, how could he not imagine that the shadow that had pressed him for nearly 9 years would really die in battle easily.

[No, don't be real, at least let me kick him a few times to get out of my anger and then die!] 】

At this time, Xia Han felt sorry for his anger and had no place to vent. However, it seems that he was the one who induced the king to send troops, and thinking about it like this, Xia Han felt better in his heart.

"Don't be kidding, this kind of joke is going to be beheaded!"

"I didn't believe it originally, but the city lord hurried to Blastwind City with a large team in the evening, how do you look at it, what's wrong!"

"Windwind? By the way, army after army ran from the north outside the city at night, wouldn't it be true? ”

Xia Han was stunned for a moment, when he entered Jade City, he also found that many troops were rushing south, it turned out that this was the reason.

The land to the south of the Yulin Mountains is the Wind Plain, and the Demon Bone Desert is on the west side of the Wind Plain, once the war between humans and beasts breaks out, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the Wind Plain, where the terrain is flat and easy to attack and difficult to defend

[Not good. 】

The location of the orcs is pressed in the middle heart of the Emerald Empire, and after the fall of the Wind Plains, the empire will be divided into two places, the north and the south, and the dragons will be leaderless. The southern zone has always been a remote place, and except for the trading capital of Golden City, which has a strong force, no other city will be a combination of enemies of the orcs.

Although the northern region is blocked by the Yulin Mountain Range, as long as the Jade City is captured, the beast clan will be greeted by a plain.

No matter how Xia Han looks at it, he thinks that human beings have no chance of winning, in fact, as long as Wind City is captured, the north and south of the Jade Empire cannot form a flanking trend, and this empire will inevitably perish.

Luckily, on the side where the Wind Meadows and the Yulin Mountains meet is the Church of Light, a powerful force that can quickly support the City of the Wind.

"It should be able to last for a while."

Xia Han estimated that Blastwind City would not fall immediately, so he turned his mind carefully, in fact, this time he went back to Jade City to steal something from Wujing. He had come up with several strategies to steal out without showing up, but as soon as Wujing left Jade City, Xia Han's strategy was ineffective - he didn't have any help in Windwind City.

But no matter what, he was bound to get it.

So after eating, Xia Han found a convoy that was heading towards Windwind. He paid to get into the carriage and follow the convoy to Windy City, but fortunately the news of the king's defeat did not spread, otherwise the convoy would not have gone any further.

Xia Han, who was tired for a day, quickly fell asleep in the car, and heard someone making noise in a daze.

"Oops! It's raining, stupid knight, how do we shelter from the rain! ”

"But Miss, you said you were going to ride a horse, and now the carriage has been robbed."

"I don't care, you hurry up and think of a way!"

A very familiar voice, its owner regards Xia Han as a sworn enemy, and Xia Han naturally knows who she is - "She deserves it." ”

He said a word, and he didn't check his voice for a while, and he didn't stop it, which is terrible!

Xia Han secretly screamed in his heart, and then calmed down: What are you afraid of, even if the other party hears his voice, he can't recognize him, the voices of the elf and human forms are completely different.

"Stupid knight, someone scolded me just now! This tone must be that idiot princess! ”

"But Miss, Her Royal Highness the Princess's voice is not like this"

"Don't talk nonsense, she's in this carriage!"

Surprisingly, the other party directly determined Xia Han's identity.

Xia Han's brain teaser was in a hurry, he couldn't figure out if the other party was really sure, if she could recognize him by the tone of voice, then Xia Han's elf form might be exposed-this is not good!

The elf form is Xia Han's killer weapon, and it has to be concealed no matter what. On the contrary, if he turns back into a human, even if he is discovered at this moment, there will be more opportunities to become an elf and escape in the future.

After thinking about it, Xia Han fluttered and turned back into a human being.

A little girl rolled over the curtain and swaggered into the carriage, she looked at Xia Han and was stunned for a while: "Idiot princess, don't think that I don't know you if you wear men's clothes!" ”

At this moment, Xia Han is still wearing simple men's clothes, and his hat is still wearing.

"It's great that you're still so lively, Bai Yue" Xia Han sighed and took off his hat, then pointed to the seat on the other side of the carriage: "You can just sit there, although I think you will definitely quarrel with me without gratitude." ”

"Ahh Thank you. ”

Bai Yue sat down with a smile, and then her face froze: "What did you say!" Who would quarrel with you without gratitude! ”

"That's you!"

"I won't!"

"And what are you doing now?"

"Ahh Bai Yue covered her mouth, her face turned red, but her eyes looked at Xia Han and said-That's all right, right?

"Eun, I'm impressed with you." Xia Han slapped his face, and then put his hat on his face: "Then I'm sleeping, if you wake me up, I will definitely want to quarrel with me without gratitude." ”

Bai Yue immediately covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from speaking again.

Xia Han quickly fell asleep, Bai Yue covered her mouth and thought about it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong-didn't she get into the carriage just to teach this idiot princess who scolded her a lesson? Why did she cover her mouth and watch each other sleep after she came up?

[I was deceived again.] 】

Mist swelled in Bai Yue's big eyes, why did she have to be bullied by this princess every time.

"Give."

A handkerchief was suddenly thrown on Bai Yue's head, and she saw Xia Han on the other side move her hat: "Don't cry all the time, the more people who love to cry, the more they will be bullied." ”

This sentence is the same as what Wujing told Bai Yue, Bai Yue took off the hand towel and wiped her eyes with it: "Thank you, it's sticky"

"Of course it's sticky, I use it to wipe my nose!" Xia Han's words brought a smile to them.

"Smack!"

Bai Yue threw the handkerchief on Xia Han's hat, and the little head smoked angrily: "I'm going to kill you!" ”

She pounced and stuck her hands on Xia Han's neck, but Xia Han stretched out his feet to block her flat chest, so that Bai Yue's little hands couldn't hook him.

"Don't be angry, I'm kidding."

He explained: "If you put a hand towel in your pocket, it may be that you have been sweating for a long time to stick to it. ”

This may also be a joke;
