It's one thing to be excited, it's another thing to take action.

In the years of the Mage Academy, in addition to studying magic and the sage totem, Lin Yang did not learn much about war, and after sending the villagers away, he immediately gathered all his subordinates and gathered in front of the sand table to discuss the battle plan.

It was late at night, the fireplace reflected a dim light, in addition to the still sleeping fire, Anna, Lily, Simon, and the Brain Eater were all present, and even the green dragon tattoo on Lin Yang's left arm slowly shone.

Since the brood is out foraging again, it is temporarily absent.

"Uh......" Scratching his head, Lin Yang said with some embarrassment: "What do you want to say about attacking Haken?" ”

After waiting for a long time, but no one spoke, everyone was looking at him, Lin Yang could only sneer, pointed to the direction of Xiaoshi Village on the military sand table and said: "This knight territory where we are located has an excellent geographical location and great strategic significance, although it is located on the border and is sparsely populated, fortunately, there are mountains to the west, rather than being surrounded by several other knight groups around it, and it is very convenient to run." In addition, when I first arrived in the plane of Faeron, I wanted to go to the land of turmoil and strife, so I had a plan. ”

"What's the plan?" Everyone's eyes widened, no one was a fool, and everyone heard Lin Yang's strong intention to move.

"Use all your strength, launch a surprise attack, and kill Haken in one go, which can also give an explanation to the future peace of Xiaoshi Village, and then run away and go to the west. No one would have thought that I was running away under the guise of attacking Hakon, so our success rate was quite high. Raising his head and looking at everyone, Lin Yang said, "Then what do you think of this plan for the westward journey?" ”

Everyone bowed their heads in deep thought.

Anna stood in the corner, looking out the window at the night, and suddenly raised her hand and said, "I have a question." ”

"Say." Lin Yang looked at her.

"From the borders of the Federation to the Desert of Death, with rolling mountains in between, it is of course easy for a few of us to escape, but if we take those combat units created by the brood, our escape speed is bound to slow down, and we are likely to be overtaken by our pursuers." Anna raised her eyes and said lightly: "After all, what we are doing is tantamount to treason, and the Holy Federation will definitely send someone down to track us down." ”

"Well, that's true." Touching his chin, Lin Yang groaned: "Anna, are all the lives created by the mother nest really soulless?" ”

Anna was stunned, then nodded and said, "Yes, unless it reaches a very high level, it can create a special individual with a soul, like me." ”

Lin Yang said solemnly: "Okay, then I plan to do it, Haken currently controls about a hundred heavy cavalry, and the rest of the militia miscellaneous servants can be ignored, with the strength of a few of us, although we can also wipe them out, it will take a lot of time." So this time, the 100 battle ant-men, the 50 worker ants and 50 worker bees created by the mother nest poured out of the nest, whether they were dead or alive, and they were not taken back! ”

There are gains and losses, and at the cost of two hundred brood creations in exchange for the destruction of Haken and the success of the Westward Journey, Anna initially disagrees, but eventually compromises.

Others have no objections.

So Lin Yang announced the final result: "Then, tomorrow night, officially launch a surprise attack on Ximu Town!" This battle can only be successful, not defeated! ”

……

In the wing room, Lin Yang sat on the bed, recalling Fang Cai's battle plan, and couldn't help but pat his head, he still forgot one thing.

Huo'er hasn't woken up yet.

Once Haken is killed, the crisis that Lin Yang is facing is self-evident, and the Holy Federation will definitely send more senior lords down to investigate, it is very likely that it will be barons, viscounts, and the situation of the lord going out is not unprecedented. At that time, Lin Yang will only be left to run, and the only fire that can fly is still sleeping, could it be that a large group of them will run into the deep mountains and old forests at that time?

Shaking his head, Lin Yang couldn't help but wonder, if it was just the eight of them, I was afraid that those chasing soldiers would not be able to catch up if they ran into the deep mountains.

The door creaked open, and Lily entered.

"It's so late, still not sleeping?" Lin Yang said with a smile.

"I can't sleep." Lily sat next to Lin Yang in a pair of pajamas and asked, "Can I ask you a question?" ”

"Huh?"

"Why do you have to go west?" Lily was puzzled: "Is the land of turmoil and strife so good?" It's not good that we can stay here, and we can slowly grow our own power......"

"No, you're naïve." Lin Yang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If it wasn't for the last resort, I wouldn't want to leave." But the Holy Federation is a behemoth, in which all kinds of wealthy nobles are mixed, to put it bluntly, now we are not even an ant in front of them, and we can't stand on it at all. And if we want to grow stronger, the existence of the brood will be discovered one day, and then it will be a real disaster. Not to mention...... That damn federal bill is the biggest headache, it severely restricts our development, according to the bill, a knight lord's maximum number of troops is only ten, don't you say nonsense? ”

"Seems like a bit of." Lily nodded and smiled, "Then there are no such problems when you get to the west?" ”

"The west has always been very chaotic, although it is more dangerous on the surface, but there is less mutual calculation in secret, and there is another advantage of chaos, no one will pay special attention to you and pay attention to you, which creates very good conditions for us." Smiling slightly, Lin Yang yawned and said, "It's not early, you go back early to rest, I'm going to sleep too." ”

"Good night." Lily nodded and got up.

"Good night to you, too."

……

Early the next morning.

As soon as the sky was bright, an exclamation came from the forward base: "No! Good! Hoo! ”

Everyone was still asleep, and they were all woken up by this exclamation, and after a while, everyone gathered in the hall, only to see Simon holding his head and turning around in the hall, looking frightened and inexplicable.

"What's going on?" Lin Yang asked as he put on his coat.

"Report to the master!" Simon knelt down and said bitterly: "My subordinates walked out of the room before dawn, and originally wanted to relieve themselves, but I accidentally passed by Huo'er's sister's room, glanced into the crack in the door, and then found her, her, and she ......."

Lin Yang immediately changed color and rushed towards Huo'er's room.

Others followed.

"Bang!"

Kicking the door open, Lin Yang rushed in, and then he was completely stunned.

A year ago, Lin Yang clearly remembered that Huo'er was lying peacefully on the bed with a smile on her face.

And now, the figure of Huo'er is missing from the bed, and in its place is a huge fiery red insect cocoon!

"How could it be ......" Anna opened her mouth wide and said in surprise: "I came to see her half a month ago, and I was still ...... at that time"

Reaching out and touching the fiery red insect cocoon, feeling the trace of energy coming from it, Lin Yang frowned: "She seems to have undergone some kind of mutation......"

"Is Sister Huo'er okay?" Simon asked anxiously.

"It should be fine."

"What exactly is going on in her?" The braineater on the side asked.

Lin Yang shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I can't say it, it's a bit similar to a cicada chrysalis turning into a butterfly, in short, it should be developing in a good direction, and it seems to be ...... Results will be available soon. ”

"And the surprise attack we're going to launch on Haken tonight......" Lily asked.

"It's business as usual!" Lin Yang said angrily: "It's a big deal, when the time comes, we will run into the mountains with this insect cocoon on our backs!" ”

In fact, Lin Yang is really a little anxious at the moment, Haken has already pointed the finger at Lin Yang, if the other party investigates a little and discovers the existence of the advance base and the brood, then Lin Yang will face unimaginable consequences. In order to give Xiaoshi Village an explanation, Lin Yang must kill Haken. And for the sake of future development, Lin Yang must lead everyone to escape from the Holy Federation.
