"Brother Yinzhuo, what now?"

A few miles away from the small hill where Ash and the others had appeared before, in the dense woods, Qiao Mai shouted anxiously to Yinzhuo beside him, beside him, there was a trebuchet more than two people high, and there were more than a dozen exquisitely made explosive barrels scattered next to the trebuchet, and several soldiers were quickly loading those explosive barrels on the trebuchet, igniting and launching, and farther away, there were dozens of teams configured like this, and this group of people occupied the entire dense forest, looking like they were in full swing.

"Cunning fox!"

Listening to Qiao Mai's question, Yinzhuo gritted his teeth with a gloomy face, and shouted: "There's no way, since the other party has noticed our actions, there is no way to be kind!" Pass the order down and let the whole army pursue! ”

"I'll go!"

Hearing this, Qiao Mai immediately responded, turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Yinzhuo's arm.

I saw Yinzhuo's eyes roll twice, and then he came to Qiao Mai's ear and whispered: "Tell you and my subordinates to dismantle these trebuchets and divine fire thunder and take them away, and let those people from the Yanyang family open the way, as long as those cannon fodder and the other party start fighting... You know what to do! ”

As he said this, a vicious light flashed in Yinzhuo's small slit-like eyes, and Qiao Mai secretly felt a spirit.

"Yes!"

…………

On the other side, the Jinglan people who escaped from the fire had just stopped by a small stream, different from the orderly appearance before, the scene here was very chaotic at this time, more than a thousand soldiers were mixed together, panicked like headless flies, a large part of them because of the previous smoke, they were lying on the edge of the stream to wash their noses and throats, the original shining armor was all stained with smoke stains and dust, very embarrassed, now they don't look like an army, but more like a group of refugees.

In any case, these soldiers are still the private soldiers of the aristocratic family, and the vast majority of them do not have much experience in facing the enemy on the battlefield, and they are pampered on weekdays, and what they are best at is just playing prestige, using exquisite armor and neat queues to save some face for their families, and at the same time, they don't know how terrible about the Lawrence Empire's 'Divine Fire Thunder', compared to those imperial regular armies who have been fighting against enemy countries all year round, I don't know how many times worse!

At this time, the most unbearable performance was the soldiers of the Hongfeng family and the Luo family, followed by the Oulai family, and although the soldiers of the Lan family were slightly better, the previous elite soldier spirit was also gone, and they all looked panicked, like frightened birds, which made Jinglan frown again and again.

In the entire region, the only ones who could maintain their composure were a very small number of veterans of the Ou Lai family, Jinglan's personal guards, and the black armor soldiers who arrived at the end.

Those black-armored soldiers did not mix with the rest of the people, but deliberately distanced themselves from them, lined up in a neat line, facing the direction of the fire, silent, like a group of sculptures, as if waiting for something, this calmness and courage, so that everyone present looked sideways, Jinglan's heart was even more envious, only felt that if he could master such a group of real elite soldiers in his hands, it would be a gratifying thing.

Thinking so, Jinglan's eyes shuttled back and forth between the group of black-armored soldiers a few times, but she didn't find Ash's figure, and her heart couldn't help but rise, only to see her riding towards the other party, and when she came closer, she was just about to ask out loud, when she suddenly heard a powerful horse roar, she looked up and followed the voice, and saw that in the raging fire, several shadows suddenly burst out.

It was a few knights, the first one was extremely conspicuous, especially the black horse, which was almost half as tall as the few horses behind, and the knight on the horse was dressed in gorgeous black armor, and the cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, and the hunting sound was Ash!

Seeing Ash appear, Jinglan's heart finally relaxed, and at the same time, she was also keenly aware that at the moment when Ash appeared, the nearly three hundred black-armored soldiers in front of her also reacted at the same time, and their shoulders actually collapsed slightly in unison, obviously looking finally relieved.

The next moment, I saw that among the people of the Black Armor Army, two very conspicuous white horses suddenly rushed out of the team and greeted them, it was Aina and Adie.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Aina and Adie's two daughters came to Ash, and Qi Qi shouted with some concern, and there was a strong look of complaint on their pretty faces, as if they were blaming him for not coming out in the first place.

Just before they could complain, they heard Ash shout: "The other party's trick is revealed, and he will definitely not give up, notify everyone, and prepare for the battle!" ”

Hearing this, the complaints in the hearts of Aina and Adie were immediately suppressed, Aina turned around and began to convey Ash's orders, while Adie returned to the team, slipped out of the stunned Luo Dai'er, and handed it over to several soldiers of Jinglan's personal guard.

On the other side, Ash also rode a horse to Jinglan's side, although he had just rushed out of the fire, but the ink scales he sat on were still in good spirits, his fur was black and shiny, and he didn't seem to be affected in the slightest, and the armor on Ash's body, including the cloak behind him, was also intact, revealing a terrifying momentum all over his body.

Seeing his appearance, Jinglan's eyes lit up slightly, but soon, she noticed Concubine Ling, who was lying in front of Ash, unconscious.

"I thought you wouldn't save her."

I saw Jinglan smile slightly and speak.

"I just don't want the people of the Ole family to think that I killed her."

Hearing this, Ash's cold and slightly hoarse voice came, and he snorted coldly: "Although I'm not afraid of the temporary rebellion of those soft-footed shrimps, it will be a trouble after all." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned, summoned a knight, put Concubine Ling on the other party's horse, and let her protect her life, and finally said, "How are the casualties on your side?" ”

“。。。 It's not good. ”

Hearing this, Jing Lan's face was bitter: "Although I can't count the exact numbers yet, my Lan family... Now at least nearly 100 people have been lost, the Ou Lai family, the Luo family, and the red maple family are even worse, the losses of each of them are far above me, and the power of the divine fire and thunder is indeed worthy of its name. ”

Ash's brow, hidden under the helmet, furrowed: "Divine Fire Thunder? ”

"It's the exclusive weapon of the Lawrence Empire."

Jinglan nodded and continued: "This is a mistake in my intelligence, I know that when Yinzhuo entered the mountain, he also led the convoy with the same team as you, but Yinzhuo's obscene and hedonistic nature in the past made me mistakenly think that those convoys were transporting inconsequential playthings... Even the woman didn't probe any further. ”

Speaking of this, Jing Lan's face was a little solemn: "I just didn't expect that the other party would actually have a divine fire thunder in his hand!" Like me, they all came straight from the imperial capital, I think there is a great possibility, their Qishan family itself has mastered the manufacturing method of the Divine Fire Thunder, but it is just hiding from the empire, and even I think that the purpose of their trip is probably not just to compete for this gold mine, this is not far from Fit City, there is Lawrence's army there, and they are likely to have some secret collusion with the other party! ”

Jinglan's voice fell, and he saw Ash nodding: "You should be right, those divine fire thunders are likely to be transported by Yinzhuo to the Lawrence Emperor's ** team, I think if he can, he will not use that dangerous thing so easily, so as not to leak the news and attract the empire's conquest." ”

"Otherwise, he only needs to take advantage of the group of people in the Ou Lai family to rest in the hideout, throw down so many dozens of divine fire thunders, and he can easily wipe out the other party!"

"You're right, when I go back, I will definitely report this matter to my father truthfully."

Jinglan agreed with Ash.

The two of them were talking, and on the hillside behind them, the fire that had been raging suddenly began to weaken.

Ash noticed this situation and glanced over there deeply, Jinglan saw his doubts, and took the initiative to solve his doubts: "Although the Divine Fire Thunder is powerful, in the absence of combustibles, the flames caused can only be kept for a short period of time by relying on the fire oil brought by it, and it is almost time to extinguish it now." ”

"That's why the other party covered that road with hay and wanted to lure us in."

Hearing this, Ash nodded and said in a low voice, "Inform your people, prepare for battle, they are coming." ”

As soon as Ash said this, Jinglan found that on the distant hillside, on the dirt road where no vegetation grew, the fire had been completely extinguished, and only thick gunpowder smoke remained, and just behind the smoke screen, a black figure happened to flash out of it.

"The whole army is on alert, ready to meet the enemy!"

I saw Jinglan shout, quickly pulled out his horse and turned around, and rushed back to the crowd under his hands.

Under her command, the soldiers of the Lan family and the other three families also reacted quickly, although most of them still had not recovered from the previous shock and pain, but they were still barely ready for battle.

It's just that the momentum is much worse than before.

"This is someone else's army...

Looking at their unbearable performance, and glancing back in the direction of Ash's side, Jinglan couldn't help but sigh deeply.

When she rushed out of the fire before, because of the extreme heat, she had taken off the helmet on her head, and now, a long golden hair was falling from her shoulders, and her beautiful face was exposed.

Not far from her, Morin, who had not been seen for a long time, was also surprised.

At this time, Morin, like his soldiers, was covered in pitch black and looked a little embarrassed, but under the protection of several of his loyal men, he did not suffer much damage.

He leaned over at this time, originally wanting to persuade Jinglan that his people were not in a good state, so he would withdraw for a while first, and wait until the army's spirit was restored before he went on a campaign against the enemy, but after witnessing the scene before Jinglan, he stopped the hooves of the war horse vividly.

He swallowed involuntarily, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and then, as if he had suddenly decided something, he stepped forward quickly, put on what he thought was the most charming smile, and whispered to Jinglan: "Miss Jinglan! ”

Hearing this, Jinglan turned her head and saw that it was Mo Lin, so she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said, "Mo Lin... Master? ”
