I don't know how long it took, but when Murch regained consciousness, he dimly realized that he was lying on the wet ground. Instinctively, he reached out and touched a warm body, and then suddenly opened his eyes and found Noro lying next to him, and he was reassured. At the same time, Noro was also awakened by Muki's movements, sat up awkwardly, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, and his last memory seemed to be: he was looking up at the aliens hovering in the air, and then suddenly he was blank, and he didn't know anything.

"What's going on?" Rhodes stood up with a little vanity, but saw that Muki and Noro were both confused, obviously not knowing what had just happened.

Noro picked up the torch in his hand, raised it up and looked at it carefully, and wondered, "Look at this torch......"

"Huh?" said Rod in astonishment, "it stands to reason that a torch would have been extinguished in a short time if it fell into such damp grass. But not only is it not extinguished, but it burns to the same extent as it was before we lost consciousness. ”

"That's right," Noro speculated, "we may have only been unconscious for a moment. ”

At this time, the soldiers also woke up one after another, and Noro asked, "Everyone's body is not unwell, right?"

"Nope. The soldiers replied in unison.

Mu Qi stood up from the ground and smiled happily, "It seems that we were all lucky to have escaped. ”

Noro couldn't help but raise his head and glance high in the sky, it was pitch black above, it seemed to be cloudy tonight, not even a star was seen, and the alien had long since disappeared without a trace. Then he regained his mind and said, "Since everything is fine, let's continue on the road after a short rest." ”

For the rest of their lives, everyone was completely relaxed. For them, the biggest crisis has passed, and there is nothing to worry about for the rest of the trip.

Muki still followed Noro, walking side by side with him. After a period of silence, he finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you know that only then can you remove the coiled flower vines?"

Noro said indifferently: "Intuition. ”

Mu Qi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't use intuition to dismiss me again, I want to hear the truth." ”

Noro squinted at him, didn't say anything, and continued to walk without squinting with a cold face.

Muki didn't mind Noro's cold attitude, smiling as usual, still following him unhurriedly. After a long time, Noro said, as if inadvertently, "For a long time, I had the feeling that there was another mysterious person living in me, who seemed to possess infinite wisdom. I couldn't see him, but I could feel his presence clearly. Whenever I have a problem or a puzzle, I ask him for help. Whatever the question, as long as I asked, he would definitely give me an answer. It's not direct, but I've always been inspired by something around me, and sometimes even just a flash of inspiration, and the answer comes to mind......"

Hearing this, Mu Qi couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this mysterious and emotional speech was by no means like what Noro would usually say. If this was said from someone else's mouth, Murch might have laughed out loud. However, the meaning of the words that came out of Noro's mouth was completely different. Because Muki knows him well, Noro never jokes, let alone lies, everything he says must be true or purposeful, and he never talks nonsense. Therefore, it is very rare for this arrogant, strong, and seemingly cold guy to be able to say such emotional words, which shows that he has a lot of trust in him. Mu Qi was secretly happy in his heart, but he joked with a dead heart: "After all, you still only trust your own instincts." ”

"Yes, I just trust my instincts. Noro was very displeased, so he turned his face away coldly, tugged hard at the reins in his hand, and drove the beast forward, ignoring Muki.

Looking at the proud back in front of him, Mu Qi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled happily: "Heh, what a cold and arrogant beauty......"

It wasn't until noon the next day that they finally walked out of the forest.

Tari, the capital of Dorodo, is located in the eastern part of the Death Forest, about a day's journey from the forest. Tari is not the largest city in Dorodo, but it is one of the most fortified cities, with towering walls and moats as its main line of defense. In addition to the royal palace and the noble residences, there were many houses and cultivated land in the castle, and it was not a problem to be self-sufficient in the castle unless it was for a long war, so it was not easy to attack the castle head-on. Of course, Noro's 30,000 elite cavalry did not come to attack the city in a special way, he would not do this kind of stupid thing of hitting a stone with an egg, and he had already agreed with Rhodes to break the city from the inside and outside, and the people arranged by Rhode would open the city gate for them from the inside.

In order to avoid people's eyes, the time to enter the city was set in the second half of the night, before dawn. It was too early to set out, so he left the army at the edge of the forest for the time being, and waited until dusk when it was dark before continuing on the road.

In the afternoon, I suddenly saw a riding beast galloping from the east, and the wind and dust were rolling behind him, which must have been very urgent.

Rod couldn't help but be startled, with a faint sense of foreboding, he couldn't sit still any longer, his eyes were tightly locked on the black dot from far and near, and he waited anxiously.

It didn't take long for the dusty man to finally arrive. Before the beast could gain a foothold, the man jumped down eagerly, walked quickly to Rod, gave a brief salute, and said, "Lord Rice asked me to bring a message......

He paused, his gaze glancing over Noro and Muki beside him, as if he was hesitant. Rhodes thought that the stakes were too high to hide from Noro, so he urged: "You say, Kari, there is no need to hide any news from them. ”

Only then did Kari reassure him and continued, "Last night, His Majesty secretly summoned the nobles of the Main Battle Faction. Mistress Rice didn't find out until after they had met, so he told me to come overnight and make sure I brought the news to Mistress Acroix......"

Kari opened the water bladder in his hand, eagerly poured a sip of water, and continued to pant and said: "Your Majesty and the main battle faction have decided to use Sambiland as the first battlefield to test virus weapons, send 400,000 troops, Your Majesty will personally march, and when the sun rises tomorrow, set off on time." ”

Hearing this, Rhodes suddenly became full of sorrow, and when he thought that the virus weapon he developed was about to plague the entire Eastern Continent, he couldn't help but worry: "In this way, Your Majesty deliberately concealed the news from the Lord and the faction, and what I was worried about really happened......

Dorodo's military power was mainly concentrated in the hands of the king, so it was not difficult to secretly transfer troops and send generals to successfully hide from some of the lords and nobles. The most difficult thing now was Noro, and if his 30,000 cavalry set out too early, they would all be exposed in broad daylight. However, if you arrive in the tower a little later, you may run into King Dorodo as he sets out on his journey. Only before King Dorodo leaves the palace can he be expected to succeed in restraining him in advance. But the difficulty is that they are stuck very tightly at this point in time, and they must ensure that they are not delayed by any accidents in the middle, otherwise they will fall short.

Although the news brought by Kari was very unfavorable to them, and Noro was a little surprised at first glance, he quickly asked calmly, "Where is King Dorodo's 400,000 troops assembled, on the outskirts of the city or elsewhere?"

Even if he didn't introduce him, Kari could immediately realize that the noble and extraordinary person in front of him must be Nuland's nobleman Norro Jingegrad, who was known for his ruthlessness and strength in the Eastern Continent, so he couldn't help but replied respectfully: "Although the main battle faction occupies the majority, there are also many nobles who oppose this war. In order to avoid complications, His Majesty had secretly sent 400,000 troops to the eastern border before the official announcement of the expedition to Sambiland. The garrisons on the far north, west and south of the border can be ignored for the time being. The current strength of the capital is mainly the King's Guard, a total of 10,000. In addition, there are 100,000 defenders of the capital, evenly distributed in the four gates of the east, west, south and north, most of which are controlled by the nobles of the main battle faction, which was specially arranged by His Majesty before leaving. Only the 30,000 defenders of the south gate are in the hands of Lord Rice, and it should not be a problem to enter the city. ”

Although, if King Dorodo waits for him to leave the city and intercepts him in the middle, Enoro's 30,000 elite cavalry will face King Dorodo's 10,000 guards head-on, and the odds of victory are not low. However, the ultimate goal of Noro and Rhodes is not only to take down the king of Dorodo, but also to control the entire capital. Therefore, if you wait for the king to leave the city and then capture people, it will be even more difficult to turn back and conquer Tari. After all, there was no shortage of pretenders among the nobles of Dorodo, and once the news of the king's defeat reached the city, the nobles would probably simply abandon their pawns and replace them. In this way, Noro's trip is meaningless.

Therefore, it is best to sneak into the city and take King Dorodo and the nobles of the main battle faction by surprise. As long as the king who holds the military power is restrained first, it will not be difficult to take the city of Tali. This method is the most risky, but it is the most effective, and it is more in line with Noro's style of quick action.

At this moment, a lazy and uninhibited voice said unhurriedly, "Then what are you waiting for? You shall return at once, and tell that Lord Rice that you do not oversleep tonight, and remember to open the gates for us at the end of the moon." ”

Hearing this, Noro also nodded, sure enough, it was Mu Qi who knew him best, and the two usually had the same ideas. The last moon will set in the second half of the night, some time before dawn, and it will be just right to enter the city.

After Kari left, it didn't take long for Noro to set off slowly with 30,000 cavalry. At present, they don't need to speed up, as long as they control the time, go to the sparsely populated outskirts of the city to hide their whereabouts carefully, conserve their strength, and then quietly march to the tower after nightfall.

On the way, Noro suddenly asked, "I wonder if those virus weapons have been transported to the eastern border with the army first?"

Rhodes thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "With what I know about the king, the most important thing is that he will definitely control in his own hands. Because he doesn't trust anyone, he will never trust the most dangerous weapons in the hands of others, which is equivalent to creating a threat to himself, so that batch of virus weapons should still be in the city at the moment. ”
