The camp of the Iron Knight was much larger than Li Ling had imagined, and it was not one, but consisting of three large camps and a few camps scattered across the Busen Plain and the Sharp-beaked Swamp.

This was a result that made Li Ling overjoyed, allowing him to spend the extra people and then calm down to implement his plan. The main thing, of course, is to have Clara's support.

Li Ling called Zig and Zike and ordered them to lead a group of knights to be stationed in two of the three large camps, while he and the rest of his fellow supporters alone occupied the strongest, well-equipped camp of the wildebeest

Then there is a quiet wait.

Li Ling knew that Clara would come to him. From the moment those black-armored knights unexpectedly obeyed his arrangement, Li Ling knew that Clara's remnant soul had not disappeared.

The starlight was not bright tonight, and everything around them looked blurry, but fortunately, Wang Yue and the others had arranged for people to light many torches and patrol around the camp.

Looking at these torches shining everywhere, Li Ling felt very relieved, here were all people who followed him all the way, and all of them were people he trusted. As long as they did not disobey his order to stay in the camp and not to go out, they would not be subjected to any external cruelty. And those strange, ferocious, and cunning creatures in this world, Li Ling believed that Ziggy and Zike would also solve them for him, and their camps were on both sides of his camp.

The only thing he worries about is whether these black-armored knights will always obey his orders, and if so, he even has the urge to confront Mia directly.

But he couldn't do that yet, even if he was ready to sacrifice. His companions didn't, in fact, they still don't know anything about the world's intrigues, just like the previous ones.

He must act in the shadows and grow his power. And then...... Thinking of this, Li Ling shook his head and felt at a loss in his heart.

Clara tried her best to kill Mia no matter what, but Li Ling felt that things might be more complicated than Clara thought. Is Mia really the source of all evil? She was just a woman, a descendant of a hundred-year-old Precursor, and the world was obviously much older than the human history that survived on it.

Li Ling thought about it, but not only did he not clarify his head, but he became more and more chaotic, Li Ling had to close his eyes tightly, wanting to rest for a while.

His eyes could still feel the leaping fires, flickering through his closed eyelids, reflecting on his pupils and into his mind.

Li Ling felt the warmth in his mind, and his whole thoughts relaxed, as if he was about to fall asleep, but he clearly sensed that there were people walking around him. Three or five companions walked around the camp with spears taken from the camp warehouse, making the slight sound of footsteps. Other than that, the whole camp seemed to have fallen silent. After a few journeys, everyone was very tired and went to sleep.

A piece of fire appeared strangely above his head, and Li Ling looked up, only to find that the fire was actually a bean-sized flame.

He felt Clara's breath on it.

"Li Ling, we have a good chance now!" Clara said.

"Are you the strength of these black-armored knights?" Li Ling asked.

"Yes, and the land! As you should have seen for yourself, the facilities here are complete and the scope is large, and although it is not as flat as the land and the walls of the royal city are as strong, this rugged terrain and scattered camps are much easier to defend. Also, although the number of these black-armored knights is a little smaller than Ina's pioneers, their strength is generally higher than those pioneers. Clara said.

"I want to hear about it!" Li Ling said, although Clara's words were all for Li Ling's sake, he felt that he needed to know more in detail.

"Huh." Clara actually smiled. "It's all the tricks of that old witch Mia, and I suspect she's been wary of me from the start, so let me and my legion of knights deal with the docile Busens, and let Ina's team of pioneers deal with the more cunning and murderous Batmen of the Southern Mountains."

"Isn't that bad?" Li Ling asked.

"Of course, our strength grows from battle, and fighting with Manta Rao will naturally increase our strength more quickly, and my knights, although they have been driving the Busen people into the depths of the Sharp-beaked Swamp, will hardly encounter some decent resistance. As a result, Her Highness Ina continued to draw more soldiers into her own ranks, citing the fact that her team was encountering more resistance. As a result, her team soon grew into the most powerful force in the royal city. ”

"How did your knight corps grow?"

"What happened was unexpected. Eager to increase my strength, I continued to make more aggressive offensive postures, completely driving the Busen people out of the Busen Plains, and even into the sharp-beaked swamp, and then here, my team completely ushered in a turnaround. First of all, the docile Busenrao chieftains fled because they had lost most of the Busenrao's support, and many voices and actions against the human forces began to appear among the Busenrao. Even further, some of the Busen began to use their linguistic advantage to trick some of the fierce and powerful animals of the swamp deep into joining them against our knights. ”

"This doesn't seem to be a thing to be thankful for, even if it's for the sake of sharpening, you have to save your life."

"Yes, at first we went on the defensive, but then, for some reason, the Busen people did not kill our men, even though they won again and again, in the course of fighting us. Rather, they deliberately spared their lives. ”

"Why is that?"

"It's normal for you to ask such a question, even at the time, I thought about it for a long time before I suddenly understood. That is - the Awakened have appeared among the Busen. ”

"What?!" Li Ling exclaimed in surprise.

"I know you're going to have that reaction. But if you think about it, it's all a natural thing. Why can't the Busen have the Awakened? They have definitely not existed in this world longer than humans. If we follow your law, we will only exist in this world for a few hundred years. Moreover, there are no so-called awakened people in your world, so where does the power of these awakened people come from? ”

Li Ling closed his eyes tightly, he didn't know if he had closed his eyes in his mind or in reality, and he didn't know if he was asleep or awake now. He sensed it carefully, and it seemed to be pitch black everywhere except for the bright flames, with no fire, no starlight, and no fellow volunteers patrolling around. It seemed that the darkness had swallowed everything up, leaving only herself and Clara's remnants.

"Li Ling, Li Ling!" Clara screamed.

"I'm here!" Li Ling came back to his senses.

"You were a little nervous just now, do you want to take a break and get a good night's sleep? I'll come back to disturb you in the morning. ”

"No, you go on, we don't have so much time to waste, I just hope I wake up and remember your words." Li Ling said.

"Alright, let's get back to what we just said. My guess is that there are awakened ones among the Busen people, and their purpose is clear, to constantly fight with our people, grinding between life and death, but trying to avoid casualties. So, I made a bold plan to have our men try to avoid casualties in the battle with Busenrao, and not to kill or capture the Busensians. As I expected, we both reached a tacit understanding, and it ended up being a ceremonial battle situation - from weak to strong, fighting in turns, until everyone on one side was defeated, but in the process we did not deliberately cause death, so that we could keep fighting and sharpening ourselves. ”

"Isn't that child's play?"

"No, we will grasp a degree, not only to maintain the combat effectiveness of the team not to damage too much, but also to maintain a certain casualty ratio. In this way, while the combat effectiveness of my team continues to increase, I can apply for more young people from the royal city to replenish my team juice... As a result, both the territory of the Black Knights Legion and our combat effectiveness are rising rapidly. Soon, we were far ahead of those pioneers! ”

"What about the batmen? If the Busen can, I'm guessing it's possible that the Batmen also have the power of awakening. ”

"Of course, I soon discovered that the bats should have been even stronger, they had air superiority, they had night vision, and they could even harass the pioneers by throwing stones at human camps from high in the air. But why didn't they do it? These cunning brutes weren't brainless creatures, they must have wanted the pioneers to play war games with them. Unfortunately, Ina was dumber than the batmen thought, and she either just ordered everyone to defend herself, or she went out of the nest to fight the beasts. Therefore, the strength of those pioneers was slowly pulled down by my knights. ”

"So, Ziggy and Zike are far stronger than the leaders of the pioneers like Uhtred and Tim?"

"Of course, Uhtred and Tim guys are just as stupid as Ina, they're almost useless outside of hypocrisy and center. But they fit Ina's liking. Even an awakened person like Ina is very susceptible to the image of his usual personality before he completely abandons his distractions. ”

"Well, I see, just like yours, I have a strong team and a temporary territory of my own, and then, what am I going to do? Revolt with your subordinates? Will they follow my arrangement? ”

"There won't be an uprising, but you have to be prepared, such as having some plan to stop the invasion of the royal city's army. But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is if you beware of Mia! If I'm not mistaken, she will soon summon you to carry out her evil plans. ”

"What evil plan?"

"I don't know, Mia is much more powerful and evil than you and I think, no one knows what she's going to do next, mine is just my guess. But in any case, we must be prepared. ”

"What should I do if you guess it?"

"If you accept her call, you will undoubtedly die, but if you do not obey her orders, you will arouse her suspicion, and there will be no good results."

"You mean, I need to pretend to obey her orders first, and then find a way to deal with her!"

"That's pretty much what it means!" Clara said, and she continued: "And Bren, I don't know why, I always think she will be bad, and we have to guard against her." ”

"Hmm!" Li Ling nodded a little casually.

……

"Adjutant Li! Adjutant Lee! Someone whispered in Li Ling's ear.

Li Ling opened his eyes and saw that it was Wang Yue. "What's going on? Wang Yue, what time is it? ”

"I'm sorry sir, but I saw that you were frowning and not sleeping peacefully, so I wanted to call you into the house to rest while you were not asleep."

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Didn't you just lie down? If you count the time, it's just a cigarette. Wang Yue said.

"Oh." Li Ling nodded, thinking that he had spoken to Clara for half a while, but it was actually just a moment, maybe just a moment.

While thinking, Li Ling walked towards the house, and before he had taken a few steps, there was a sudden commotion in the distance. Li Ling stood still, turned his head and looked back. Someone ran from outside the camp.

Soon, someone ran towards Li Ling, bowed down and said, "Adjutant Li, there are some Busen people outside who have come to attack the camp on the periphery, but don't worry, those knights have already taken the lead in encircling and suppressing them." ”

Li Ling suddenly thought of Qin Yu, according to Clara's previous situation, she had a powerful subordinate who was killed by the Busen people and an outsider woman. That woman was naturally Qin Yu. I just didn't expect that he had just come here when those Busen people appeared.

"I'd like to see what these Busen people are all about." Li Ling couldn't wait to walk outside.

It didn't take much effort for Li Ling to see many black-armored knights huddled at the gate of the camp, and at a distance of ten zhang, there were some red pupils, which looked very mad.

But these knights seemed to be commonplace, and did not feel anything strange about those red eyes, and joked as they discussed who would be sent up first.

"These red eyes are menacing tonight, it looks like there are at least a hundred!"

"It's only hundreds, and if Her Highness Clara is here, a finger can make them all admit defeat!"

"Zige, you have to be careful, the strength of the newly appointed commander is also not to be underestimated!"

"Hmph, if he really has any great skills, let him show his hands!" Ziggy said disapprovingly.

At this time, Li Ling and his companions behind him had already walked into the crowd, and naturally they could hear Zige's words clearly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, your commander is here!" Niu Fajia shouted deliberately.
