Chapter 35: The Great War Comes 2
Stark nodded thoughtfully, and immediately ordered the large army to continue their march to the edge of the coast.
In a moment, all the demons gathered on the coast, densely hidden in the coastal forest, looking in the direction of the island thousands of miles away.
Riding on the back of the wolf, Stark looked at the situation on the opposite island in the night, and after a while, he said, "Let the large army be stationed on the spot, cut down and build ships, and light a bonfire!" β
"Lord Saint King, isn't lighting a bonfire revealing your whereabouts? And...... There's no need, shipbuilding can also be built in more secluded wooded areas......"
The Three Holy Envoys on the side tentatively reminded him.
I saw Stark silently turn his head, and in the shadow under the hat, even if he couldn't see his face clearly, it suddenly made the three holy envoys feel a chill, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads and responded: "Obey!" "A puff of smoke ran away.
The order was quickly conveyed to the ears of every demon clan, and the huge demon army lit dozens of bonfires along the edge of the coastline, illuminating the entire coastline.
The sound of logging followed closely, and each branch of the stationed, felling, and shipbuilding marched in an orderly manner, causing a lot of movement.
The bright bonfires and the loud sound of logging had already attracted the attention of the Sentries of Revorno, thousands of miles away, on the island.
Not only the sentinels, but even all Revornor in the camp in the center of the island heard the clear sound of logging.
Around the campfire.
The continuous sound made Han Qingluo stand up, intending to go forward to investigate: "Did you hear that?" β
Jue stood up with her and nodded: "It's the sound of chopping wood." β
"Could it be ......" Yuke stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "The demons are coming?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, Zack, who received the news from the sentry, hurried towards the direction of the camp, and before he arrived, the voice rose first: "The demons are coming, and there are quite a few of them, occupying the entire coastline on the opposite side, and they are also cutting down trees and building ships!" β
"Let's go, let's see!"
Han Qingluo suddenly became nervous and suggested loudly.
Everyone nodded in agreement and ran to the sentry post at the top of the island......
Standing on the top of the island with a wide field of vision, that piece of light illuminates the opposite shore as if it were daylight, and every move of the demons on the opposite side can be seen very clearly.
In the forest on the other side, there were flickering black shadows everywhere, and there were at least a thousand or more people, far more than the hundred people of Revorno.
Judging from the number, with the hundreds of people of Revorno, they are completely invincible to the fierce demon army, if they fight hard, in just a few minutes, the entire clan will definitely be wiped out.
"With their preparations, it is estimated that there will be two or three days before the war will officially start."
Jue looked at the situation of the demons on the other side and analyzed it aloud.
"Okay, I'll arrange the manpower as soon as possible according to the plan, and I'll wait for the demons to land."
When he really faced the enemy, Zach couldn't hold back the tension and excitement in his heart, his hands hanging by his side were clenched tightly, and his eyes never took his eyes off the other side for a moment.
"Before the demons land, strengthen the outposts and let the archers be ready near the beach!"
Looking at that piece of fiery red, Jue felt a worry in his heart for some reason, and he always felt that the demon clan seemed to have other plans to publicize his arrival this time.
Hearing this, Zack walked down the outpost with his clansmen, and hurried to deploy various ambush points to prepare for the upcoming battle.
The firelight was reflected in the pupils of his eyes, as if he could feel the scorching heat, Han Qingluo's eyes were slightly empty, his brows were deeply frowned, his breathing became heavier unconsciously, and even the cold palms were slightly cold sweat.
The number of demons on the opposite side far outnumbered them, and it was clear that this would be an extremely difficult battle, and it was full of unknowns.
For her, the one who had disarmed them at close range, the danger of the demons was self-evident, unlike the wars she had experienced in the previous three years, this was the first battle she had fought against heretic creatures.
Her physique and skills are among the best among human beings, but in the face of heretical creatures whose strength is several times stronger than her, she is instantly unsure and even afraid.
The battlefield is not a personal fighting arena, and danger occurs in an instant.
"Quick fix".
These four words quickly popped into her mind, so she put down all her skills for the time being, and tried her best to deal with every attack, and defend well.
Just when she was restless, a calm and broad hand fell on her shoulder, turned her head, and Jue's handsome face was reflected in her eyes.
He said, "Don't worry, I've got you covered!" β
This was a happy thing, but although Han Qingluo responded to Jue with a smile, she was extremely self-blaming in her heart, her fear and incompetence would become Jue's burden on the battlefield in the future.
She even retreated from going to the battlefield after listening to Jue's words that were meant to comfort her, if Jue was injured because of herself, it would be her eternal guilt.
You know, if you are injured by the demons, you will be infected and assimilated, she doesn't want to see Jue become an alien like the demons, and she doesn't want him to risk for herself.
Cold sweat flowed down her forehead, it was obviously a cold late autumn, but Han Qingluo felt very hot, her mouth was dry and uncomfortable, her throat moved slightly, and the fear in her heart became more and more intense.
Jue noticed her abnormality, hugged her whole person into his arms, and wrapped her tightly, he was silent, only using practical actions to comfort her.
His embrace made Han Qingluo find a sense of security, she took the initiative to wrap around his waist, her slightly hot cheeks were pressed against his broad and solid chest, and her ears listened to the faint and slow heartbeat in the chest.
After a while, she calmed down her chaotic emotions, moved her lips, and asked in a low voice, "I canβ" Before the words could be spoken, he replied without hesitation from the top of her head: "Yes!" β
Han Qingluo raised his head, and Jue also sensed her movements and lowered his head......
Looking at each other, Han Qingluo saw tolerance and respect from Jue's pair of purple-gold soft eyes, she pursed her lips, wanting to explain something, but in the end it turned into two words without courage: "Thank you!" β
The cold lips came to her forehead, and a kiss fell softly, and Jue sighed lightly without a trace, hugging the restless Han Qingluo tighter.
He understood what she was flustering about at the moment, it was too difficult for her to face this group of monsters, she was indeed very good, she was a strong and unyielding human woman, but in front of the demons, she was still a fragile human being.
And on the issue of strength, she was so sensitive, causing this knot to become their emotional tie for a while, and he even regretted opening it a little.
He shouldn't put her on the side of the weak, saying stupid things like "protection", Han Qingluo expects a reciprocal love, and she is too obsessed with this aspect, so much so that she mentions the matter of the first embrace to him.
Although, after talking about it that night, she didn't mention it again, Jue knew very well that this seed of desire would be embedded in her heart forever and could not be pulled out, and one day, it would control her heart, grow in an irrepressible state, and break out of the shackles.
Now, he can only do his best to suppress her terrible seed of desire and maintain this hard-won emotion.
Becoming a blood clan is a pain that Han Qingluo can't imagine, her character is not suitable for being a blood clan, let alone suffering this kind of cursed pain.
Leaning on Jue's arms, Han Qingluo stared blankly at the sea that was reflected by the firelight as if falling into thousands of stars, and looked at it, and his tired eyes gradually closed under this little starlight.
When the person in her arms slowly let out a steady and even breath, Jue moved, put the wind-shielded shawl on her, gently picked up Han Qingluo, and slowly walked off the sentinel point.
At night, the island was very cool, and he quickened his pace and came to the campfire in the camp, where he hugged her and enjoyed the peace of the pre-war moment.
Zack, who had just finished dealing with everything, was happily climbing up to the sentinel to look for Jue's figure, but found that he was not there, and after a short period of loss, he rushed to the camp again, and sure enough, he saw the figure who met him.
However, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and the mood of wanting to share the joy also dimmed.
Jue was very cautious with Han Qingluo in his arms, even if he didn't like the scorching bonfire, he tried his best to take care of the people in his arms, even if he didn't know what to say, Zack felt it strongly.
A huge sense of frustration instantly swept over his heart, Zach lowered his eyes sadly, thought for a while, or took a difficult step, and slowly leaned over.
Jue quickly spotted Zach approaching through the bonfire, and his thin lips were politely hooked upward, which was regarded as a silent greeting.
The more cautious he was, the more uncomfortable Zach became, and he tried to hide the sadness in his eyes, and sat down beside him, trying not to make any sound.
"All the deployments have been implemented?"
Jue stared at the bonfire in front of him, and the firelight reflected his purple-gold eyes even brighter, as if there were thousands of stars, shining with a unique charm.
There were orange-red flames dancing in his eyes, Zach didn't look at Jue, only nodded in response, and hummed a "hmm" full of loss from his nose.
His little emotions were naturally noticed by Jue, and he gently turned his head to look at Zack, and asked softly, "Bad mood?" β
Jue's soft words made Zach choose to dissipate his anger without arguing, even if this softness was for Han Qingluo, but at this moment, it was only for him!
Zach thought so, comforting himself.
Regarding Jue's concern, he cast a smile that showed no hindrance, and explained against his will: "For the war, I have been running all night, and I am a little tired. β
Jue nodded reassuringly, then turned his head back, and quipped: "As the patriarch, I have a heavy responsibility, and I will be more tired in the future, so I have to cheer up!" β
As if thinking of something interesting, Jue paused, looked at Zack with a sincere face, and said, "Those who achieve great things are not informal." β
As soon as this sentence was said, Zach was immediately stunned, he didn't understand what Jue's last strange sentence meant, and asked uncertainly, "What does it mean?" β
Jue lowered his eyes, as if he recalled some pleasant memories, and the joy on his face could not be hidden: "It means that people who can do great things will not be bothered by some trivial things." β
Zach lowered his head thoughtfully, and his tone was full of envy: "Lord Jue is worthy of being a thousand-year-old blood clan, and he knows a lot. β
But Jue laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny: "This sentence was taught to me by Luo." β
Stunned, Zack's eyes were fixed on Han Qingluo's sleeping face, and the fire was reflected on her face, soft and beautiful......
