Chapter 19: Carlin's Buttocks

In the middle of the night, in the imperial capital of Vant, the palace guards surrounded the entire palace. This is also understandable, the vicinity of the imperial capital has become a military vacuum, and now with more than 10,000 remaining Praetorian Guards guarding the entire imperial capital, these guards do not take good care of the emperor, what if something happens?

In the imperial study in the depths of the Forbidden Palace, Shagru held a book of poetry in his hand, and looked at Kai who had lost an arm with heavy eyes. Kai knelt on the ground, not daring to move, the prime minister, the minister of war, and the minister of state stood beside him in silence, where did he dare to say a word?

The distorted lamp cast black shadows on the walls of the study, and the glorious decorative paintings of the golden walls in the past now seemed to be shrouded in a strange sense of evil, and the constantly writhing light made those murals seem to come to life, and they were about to pounce on the five people in the room.

After a long time, Shagru waved his hand weakly: "Okay, General Kai, you get up." It's not your fault, when the Bicester Empire betrayed us and attacked behind their iron cavalry, it was already rare that you could still retain more than 100,000 troops. You are not guilty ... Well, General Kay, your father is the Duke of Shaxlin, right? You yourself are the title of Earl, then, Minister of State, Kreis, make General Kai a Marquis, give him a royal title of honor, and award him the Order of Imperial Courage, all right... General Kai, you can step down. ”

Kai bowed down gratefully, and slowly, somewhat unbalanced, stood up. The Minister of War Siddock beside him quietly helped him, and Kai glanced at him with gratitude, he was about to walk out of the royal study like this, but his steps hesitated.

Shagru immediately said: "General Kai, what else do you have to say? Just say it, don't mind anything, just say it, things have gone bad to this point, what do you want to say, don't mind... We can withstand such a blow, so what else can't we accept?" His eyes fell on the poetry book in his hand, but it was obvious that his attention was on Kai, and he didn't read a word at all.

Kai immediately turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I have to say that if we can't hold on to the Turk Gorge, our empire will be... ”

Shagru's eyes showed a look of indifference: "If we can't hold on to the Turk Canyon, our empire could be destroyed, right?"

Kai nodded and acquiesced to his words, and just as Siddock was about to add something, Shagru had already caught Kai's words and asked, "So, what do you think we should do? We can only pump the private armies of the five western provinces... Let's be honest, they can't be the match for the six-nation coalition. ”

Kai said a little anxiously: "But Your Majesty, now there is a strong wall in the Turk Canyon, even if we reinforce 100,000 soldiers, we can... ”

Shagru stood up suddenly, frantically threw the poetry book in his hand to a corner of the study, he crossed his hands on his hips, and strode a few steps in the study, his half-length hair danced gently, and his blue eyes exuded a hideous look: "No, General Kai, I understand what you mean." Well, let's give them reinforcements of 100,000 troops, but on such a two-mile-wide wall, can an additional 100,000 troops exert their full combat effectiveness? You have already mobilized 70,000 private army regiments to reinforce them, plus the remaining main army, there should now be no less than 130,000 soldiers there, which is enough for a pass less than two miles wide. ”

Siddock wanted to speak, but Shagru slapped him hard and drank: "I know, your plan just now has been proposed, defend with all your might, and then the whole country will be urgently mobilized." Well, that's a sound idea, but I don't think so. ”

Seedock finally found an opportunity to interject, and he cautiously asked, "So, Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

The hideous look on Shagru's face became even thicker: "Can I trust you?"

The three ministers and Kai were all stunned, and before they could speak in fear, Shagru had already laughed: "Of course, of course I will believe you, you enjoy the highest power and the greatest power in the Van Empire, if you take refuge in those bastards, they will not give you a higher status than here, you will not surrender to them, and they will not bother to buy you." So, you are people I can trust, and of course, I can only trust you now. ”

The four of them bowed gratefully, but Shagru diverged the topic again: "You are people I trust, so the plans you put forward are all for the good of the empire, but I have to say that this plan is still unsatisfactory, and you can't guarantee that Turk Canyon will be able to hold on for a year." If the current 100,000 troops can't hold out for a year, then we can't hold out for another year if we send another 100,000 troops over, right?"

Kai's mouth trembled for a while, and finally he said weakly: "Yes, Your Majesty, your opinion... It is very clear that if the current defenders cannot hold out for a year, then it does not make much sense for us to send another 100,000 or 200,000 troops. ”

Shagrul smiled, and he said mysteriously, "Yes, especially when you think that since the coalition has determined that our empire is about to fall, a few other damn bastards will send their main army to attack us. I have estimated that after they join forces, the total strength will probably exceed two million?Oh, oh, oh, of course, they will not send such a large army, but it is possible for each coalition country to send about 150,000 to 200,000 troops again, plus their troops on the front line and the iron cavalry of Bicester, the total strength is about 1.1 million?"

Prime Minister Messeau said dryly: "Your Majesty's analysis is very accurate, according to my estimate, judging from the temper of their current emperor, sending no more than 200,000 troops to battle will be the best choice for the four empires of Wright, Dark, Ritter, and Leyford." ”

Minister of State Krees smiled bitterly: "Moreover, one hundred thousand is the elite, the most powerful elite, and the team of magicians of the Smart Empire." ”

Shagru shrugged his shoulders and looked at the four courtiers helplessly: "So, you see, they won't give us a year to train millions of elite soldiers to deal with them after our national conscription, I firmly believe that their goal is to annex our entire Van Empire within two months... The Bicesters, in particular, are afraid of our reprisals, and they will surely demand that the coalition forces break through the Turk Gorge within two months, and then... Well, if they destroy the Van Empire, we will all be killed, won't we? Your beautiful wives may be rewarded as slaves to their heroes. ”

Prime Minister Messeau said dryly: "But Your Majesty, maybe the situation is not very bad, there is still a month until autumn, and in four months, there will be winter, winter, it is impossible to mobilize troops on a large scale, and the logistics and the injuries and illnesses of the soldiers will drag down the coalition army." ”

Shagru shook his head and sneered, "God, Messo, you have followed my father for fifty years, but think about it, what if we can't hold on for four months? ”

Seedock keenly grasped the meaning of Shagru's words, and he asked hesitantly, "What do you mean, do you already have a countermeasure?" He was very unconvinced that Shagru could come up with any wonderful plan, after all, the new emperor, except for his extraordinary skills in women, had never shown his special talent in military affairs.

Shagru slowly unbuttoned his collar and ripped open his underwear, revealing a small purple gold seal hanging from his chest. He said with a solemn face: "Our Van Empire, since the founding of the country, in addition to the Five Beast Legions, there is also a truly invincible Knight Legion... Two hundred and fifty thousand, dear gentlemen, two hundred and fifty thousand invincible knights, knights of the noblest blood, they will ... ”

Messeau screamed: "Your Majesty, you are crazy. ”

A cold glint flashed in Shagru's eyes: "Do you think I'm crazy? This is the only way I can think of to save the fate of our empire. Mobilizing the Knights of 'Glory' ... The most powerful force of the Van Empire, made up entirely of powerful knights, can crush a coalition of two million, three million, four million incompetent, they can give us victory, they can let us reclaim the southern provinces, they can free our empire from the doom of destruction. ”

Sidock shouted frantically, "But, Your Majesty, do you want the entire continent to suffer because of your momentary decision?"

Shagru shouted loudly, and he waved his hands wildly: "Dear Siddock, oh, honorable Minister of War, as long as I die, I will take care of the flood of the whole world? What does the life or death of the people of the mainland have to do with me? What does it have to do with you? God, if we can't defeat the coalition forces, then our own family and our people will suffer first, even if you don't care about the lives of those people, but what about your own family? What about your position and power?"

Siddock took a few steps back, his face ashen and speechless.

Krees looked at Shagru helplessly, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, this decision of yours will make us the enemy of the entire continent, and the whole continent will unite to attack us... Suddenly, Krees realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he closed his mouth in embarrassment.

Shagru smirked: "Look, look, you see, we are already the enemy of the whole continent, aren't those six nations working together to attack us? Do you understand? I just need to keep my own country, and I will let them die?"

The three ministers glanced at each other, Krees took a step back, while Messeau and Siddock took a few steps forward and said hoarsely, "Yes, Your Majesty, you are right, we agree with your plan. Mobilize them, you personally draft the order for the transfer of troops, we sign the order, and then the special teleportation magic array will teleport over. ”

Shagru smiled: "Of course, dear gentlemen, I really want to see what wonderful expressions those damned old immortal emperors will have on their faces when they hear that our 'Glory' Knights have appeared on the battlefield... Oh my God, as long as they still have a tenth of their legendary strength, they'll be enough to sweep across the continent. Of course, I'm going to add to the order that they are not to let the rest of the people find out that they are leaving, and you agree? They make up a reason, don't they always have a big field war training every year? Let them set off in that name. ”

Messeau and Seedock began to discuss the details with Shagru in detail, while Kai stood there and was out of order, really out of order, really out of order, is this continent really crazy? Your Majesty actually wants to mobilize them, and dares to mobilize them...

Chris next to him suddenly shuddered, his teeth colliding against each other, 'gurgling'. Kay looked at him in bewilderment, and Krees's eyes widened in horror, and he approached Kai and whispered in his ear, "Oh my God, it's been two hundred years since the last time... Oh my God, Your Majesty is mobilizing them now, I, I, I really don't know how to say it, you calculate, two hundred years ago, exactly two hundred years ago, they started a war. ”

Kai's mouth opened wide, and after a long time, he let out a long breath and whispered gloomily, "But, no matter what, this is the only way out for our empire." Your Majesty is right, what do you care about other people's lives and deaths? Think about my loyal soldiers, those invincible brave generals, they were not killed on the frontal battlefield, they were killed from behind, no matter what, even if I sell my soul to the demon god, I will avenge them. ”

Krees shuddered, and after expressing extreme sensitivity to a certain word in Kai's words, he took a few steps away gently, lowered his head, and said not a word again.

Kai muttered in a low voice: "Two months, two months at most, they can rush to the Teke Canyon, no matter what, they can support two months, right?" For the sake of safety, it is better to ask Your Majesty to send 100,000 reinforcements over, and behind that wall, build another one, two, three walls, which is enough to hinder the footsteps of the coalition army." ”

Outside the walls of Turk Canyon, Ray was alone holding a boulder there to squat and stand up, it looked like there was about 1,500 pounds of boulders weighing him all over his body, and his bone joints made a 'crunch' sound. His feet were half a foot deep in the mud, and he had carried the stone hundreds of times in a row.

Far away, the disdainful Bobkat easily held a stone of the same size, running in place at will, he laughed: "Ah, look, the Van Empire can't choose anyone, and they got such a little ghost to come out to show us their strength... Haha, that kid named Ray, come and fight me, I promise to kill you with a single sword. When he said the last sentence, a fierce light flashed in Bobkaat's eyes.

Thunder slammed the stone on the ground at the city gate, rolled his eyes, and said lazily, "Do you have a fight with a bear? His Royal Highness Bobkat, if you have a kind, you can come here, I stand here, if you have a kind, if you are not **** brought up, then come and kill me. After a few days of mixing with those private soldiers in the city wall, Lei also learned a lot of words from those private soldiers scolding each other, and when he spit out lightly, he was so angry that the tall and noble Bobkaat almost went crazy.

With a roar, Bobkat really rushed over with a giant sword. But when he had just rushed to a distance of seven hundred feet, the four hundred repeaters on the city wall made a 'crunch' sound at the same time, and countless powerful crossbows roared away, forcing Bobkat back. These repeaters don't have the same range as the powerful ones that are designed to deal with magicians, but the range of up to 800 feet makes them a formidable defensive weapon, especially since they can fire thirty-six arrows in a row.

Bobkat jumped back into the camp, angrily scolding Ray. Ray simply sat lazily on the edge of the moat in front of the city gate, and began to curse Bobkat without saying a word. Bobcart was a prince after all, how could there be a redor in his head? Especially since Ray had been studying with those private veterans in the past two days, so he was so angry that he rushed to the city wall again, but he was shot back again by the dense crossbow arrows on the city wall.

After such a funny scene happened seven times in a row, a group of soldiers was opened in the coalition camp, and the large group of men and horses prepared to attack the city. And Bobkat went back to the camp to eat, and Ray also slipped in through the gap in the city gate, first ate breakfast, then counted the subordinate soldiers, and then climbed to the top of the city, and the soldiers of the coalition army were almost under the city.

This kind of thing has happened for seven days in a row, Lei is constantly crazy to hone himself, according to his current strength, he can lift a stone weighing more than 1,000 pounds to smash people, but to do continuous weight-bearing squats, it is a little difficult for him, but Lei found that the heavier the body is tempered, the faster the internal qi in the body grows, so he doesn't care about his fatigue, and continues to exercise, with a breath of Bobcat.

As for Karin, they are waiting for reinforcements from home, they are not sure to break through such a wall, especially if the soldiers of the elite Tyrannical Lion Legion are defending the wall. In such a narrow contact area, the numerical advantage has been completely neutralized, and the comparison is the quality of the soldiers, but if it is about quality, except for those Bicester men who can't attack fortifications, which country's soldiers can compete with the Vant's Five Beast Legion?

Therefore, the current coalition army is dispatched every day, about 30 minutes a day, so that the soldiers can feel the atmosphere of the siege and try to maintain their morale. Carlin didn't want the soldiers to stay in the forest in a daze all day, if the morale dropped, maybe a counterattack from the Van Empire could make them retreat hundreds of miles. In the history of the mainland, it is not without precedent that tens of thousands of people defeated more than 100,000 people.

Seeing that ten thousand people had almost rushed to the edge of the moat in front of the city wall, Jerry at the head of the city waved his hand lazily, and suddenly a dense rain of arrows shot out. The coalition soldiers shouted, raised their shields to resist the rain of arrows, and rushed closer. Then, Lei and several high-ranking knights smashed out stones weighing two or three hundred catties, and after knocking over a few soldiers, the ten thousand people turned around and left.

A thousand feet away, ten thousand-man troops, after a little regrouping, rushed over again. So, the farce was staged again, and after three times, the troops on both sides were collected and lunch was ready.

Bobkat, who was standing on the edge of the woods watching the battle, roared: "Karlin, what the hell are you doing? It's been five days, five days, are you kidding? If we go on like this, we won't be able to break through this wall, so why don't we just sit here and wait?"

Kalin said lazily: "Your Royal Highness, dear prince, think about it yourself, how many infantry can we put into the siege battle? After deducting the iron cavalry of your Bicester Empire and the light cavalry of the Dak Empire, and deducting the cavalry of several of our countries, the number of infantry is only a few hundred thousand, and the number of people who defend them on the city wall is also the same number, do you think we can break through this city wall? Also, do you want all the soldiers to climb the wall so empty-handed?" We don't have ladders, we don't have siege engines, we don't have catapults, we don't have anything, how can we attack?"

Bobkat was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly shouted: "So, how did your Smart Empire conquer the cities of their four provinces in the first place? Don't you have any siege equipment with you? How is it possible, you have dispatched all the elite legions." ”

Carlin shrugged his shoulders: "I'm sorry, we really didn't carry any siege equipment, because under the operation of my genius brain, there were no soldiers in the cities of the four provinces of the Van Empire, and we directly broke through their city defenses so easily." As for the Iron Castle, alas, I'm sorry, but that Van Commander is a high-ranking spy that Smart has planted, so there's no need to carry those bulky guys. ”

Bobkat gritted his teeth and said no more. Carlin smiled and said, "You see, our soldiers of Smart have been cutting wood in the back lately, making ladders and crashing wood, the problem is that there is a lack of some leather, animal tendons and other things, otherwise maybe we can make a few catapults... But don't worry, as soon as reinforcements from several countries arrive, we can officially start the war, and they will definitely carry large siege equipment. I swear that in two months, we can destroy the entire Vatican Empire. ”

Bobkat nodded silently, looked at the city wall in the distance, and suddenly said, "Strange, how is there dust behind them?"

Carlin shook his head helplessly: "It's very simple, they are probably building the second wall, then the third, and the fourth, but don't worry, if we can break through their first line of defense, then the second and third will be dealt with in the same way." By the way, there are still a few jars of good wine in my camp, are you interested? Look at how generous I am, it is the best wine exclusive to the royal family of our Smart Empire, I have taken it out and shared it with you. ”

Bobkat, who was born in the bitter cold desert of the north, heard the word wine, and his eyes began to light up, but he still asked reservedly: "Since it is a special wine for your royal family, why did you bring so much to the army?"

Carlin muttered in a low voice, "Well, it's always good to buy off the palace's storekeeper." I exchanged a dozen jars of wine for these good wines, anyway, our majesty doesn't taste wine often, don't worry. ”

Bobkater nodded, and strode after Karin into the woods.

The commanders from the Darker Empire and the Ritter Empire, who were standing next to the two just now, glanced at Carlin with dissatisfaction. Dark's cursed in a low voice, "What about his team of mages? why not go into battle... Breaking through such a wall is not a difficult thing for a mage who can use forbidden spells, right?"

The one from the Ritter Empire said softly, "This guy doesn't dare to risk losing another mage, otherwise he will be very, very uncomfortable when he returns home." Do the math, how many mages he lost on this expedition?Even if his teacher was the high priest of the Smart Empire, it was impossible to keep him in the Mage Guild... Hmph, the range of the repeating crossbow to defend the city is only 800 feet, but on the 60-foot-high city wall, it is enough to kill and injure mages a thousand feet away, how dare he send those mages?"

Lei stood at the head of the city, looked at the smoke-filled Smart camp, and asked puzzledly: "What are they waiting for if they haven't launched an attack yet?" However, neither Ray nor Jerry found a problem, that is, Ray has not learned the standard Dou Qi cultivation method of Smart's army, Ray is because he thinks he has learned Dou Qi, and Jerry thinks that Ray has now been promoted to a Silver First-Order Knight, and those high-level knights under him should have taught him the relevant methods.

Jerry grabbed a small dagger and scribbled at the battlements in front of him, and he snorted, "They're waiting for reinforcements, waiting for heavy siege equipment." But that's fine, we can have a little more time to prepare. He turned his head to look at the craftsmen who were digging traps on the ground and making all kinds of ambushes, and said in a cold voice: "Behold, one more day, we can at least kill and wound five thousand more of them, and they will not attack, just right." ”

Ray grabbed a thick bamboo arrow, waved it gently, and said with a sneer: "Jerry, with this suggestion of using bamboo arrows, you should also give me a little credit, right? Also, look at it, there are so many bamboo forests in the canyon behind, enough to cut tens of millions of arrows... When we defend, we don't have to worry about running out of arrows. ”

Jerry laughed, "Ray, you've learned to compete for credit... Haha, you can't do it all. Indeed, as long as the sharpening effort is slightly better, the range of the bamboo arrow is only less than a hundred feet less than that of the bow and arrow of the iron arrow, and the arrow will explode after touching the human bone, which is really too vicious, and it is guaranteed to cripple the person who is hit by the arrow. ”

Ray sneered: "I'm going to use an arrow like this to shoot into Bobkat's stomach." ”

Jerry nodded slowly, a fierce light in his eyes, staring at the coalition camp in the distance.

The sound of footsteps sounded behind him, and he automatically gave up his command, and his whole head was fluffy, as if he was a lion-headed Tyrant Lion Legion Commander Kamarafi shook his head and walked over, and asked in a rough voice: "Ahem, two boys, they are camped in the dense forest, why don't we just set them on fire? Wouldn't it solve the problem by burning them all to death?"

Jerry was silent, he rolled his eyes and didn't speak, this old guy himself knew that his head was not good, so he simply gave up the command, but since you know that you are waiting for a fool, don't make random ideas.

Lei smiled and respectfully explained to him: "General Kammarfi, you see, it's the height of summer, and there is a lot of sap in the tree poles, unless we have a group of magicians who use high-temperature fire magic, it is impossible to make the woods burn... When we retreated that day, you saw that it was all the mages of the Smart Empire who worked together to make the forest burn. And we ... It seems that the high-ranking mages accompanying the main army have all been wiped out, right?"

Kamarafi was stunned for a moment, scratched the fluffy hair on his head, and muttered: "Hey, it seems to be like this, well, the feelings are like this... It turns out that the woods are not easy to burn in summer, and I thought that the temperature was so high in summer that it would be possible to burn with a little fire. ”

As if he didn't want to hurt his face too much, Jerry smiled and said, "Of course, your battle plan is also feasible, if we have a lot of fuel, we can let them try the barbecue." ”

Gaddafi rejoiced: "yes, yes, a lot of fuel. However, there are only a few provinces in the north of the country, and it is too troublesome to mobilize them, so forget it, we better defend our walls. By this time next year, the general mobilization of the whole country will also be completed, and the Five Beast Legions should be able to be reorganized. ”

With a vigorous swing of his fist, Qaddafi strode down the wall, and began to shout loudly at his high-ranking knights and him to shake their fists and loosen their muscles.

Jerry shrugged his shoulders: "He is a good man, extremely loyal to the Empire, and very strong, so although his head is a little confused, His Majesty still handed it over to him from the Tyrant Lion Legion, anyway, he never made a battle plan, but it doesn't matter." ”

Ray looked at Jerry with a strange look, and Jerry sighed and said, "I know what you're thinking, we can't get that fuel into the forest, can we? Even if you throw it with a catapult, their mage can blow the fuel jar back with a strong wind, but Ray, you have to learn that in the Empire, if you want to live a good life, you must always save face for people with a higher status than you, otherwise... Lord Kazafi is a marquis, his father is now the most powerful duke in the empire, and the lords of several western provinces are all related to their families... So... Do you understand?"

Lei nodded hurriedly and said cautiously: "Then, I will need more guidance from adults in the future." ”

Jerry patted Ray on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "Hey, that's why I have to die... Maybe you'll help me collect my body tomorrow. ”

Ray heard Jerry's words, and quickly spat three times on the ground according to the habit of the mountains, and then stepped on it heavily. Jerry was stunned for a moment, and suddenly suddenly, he laughed happily, hugged Ray heavily, and said, "Good brother, we are soldiers, don't be too superstitious." Hehe, I'm here to see who can storm the walls and kill me. ”

Ray was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Lord Jerry, what would happen if their coalition forces attacked us before reinforcements arrived?"

Jerry sneered: "With their current strength, they will only suffer heavy casualties." You see, our walls are forty feet thick and sixty feet high, and now there are 150,000 soldiers with full combat effectiveness. On the mainland, if you want to conquer a city, in addition to perfect siege tools, you need an infantry brigade at least four times that of the defenders, where do they have this strength now. ”

Lei Yan laughed: "Then, if I can let them start attacking now, it must be exciting, right?"

Jerry was stunned for a moment, looked at Ray with a frown, and asked, "How can you get them to attack now?"

Lei sneered, gently stroked the bamboo arrow in his hand, looked at the camp of the coalition army in the dense forest, and he whispered: "They are camped in the woods, but if you want to talk about the woods, who can be more familiar than me? I will go to their camp tonight, as long as I can assassinate a few of their high-ranking generals... ”

Jerry shook his head: "It's too dangerous, and besides, the other party may not be impulsive to attack us." ”

Ray sneered, shook his head, and walked straight down the wall.

At night, there is no moon, only sparse stars blinking in the sky, and the wind is cold at night in the mountains.

The sap of the sumac tree rubbed a thick layer on the bamboo arrows, and Ray climbed out along the cliff at the corner of the city wall alone, and secretly followed the bottom of the cliff to the coalition camp. He knew that his actions were too reckless and too dangerous, but he couldn't bear to let the coalition forces, including Bobkat, sit outside the city and wait for reinforcements to arrive. In any case, he has to light a fire for the coalition forces, and in any case, he has to toss them well before the coalition reinforcements arrive.

If it's dead, it's going to be dead, Ray thought a little gloomily, his life was worthless anyway. Thinking of the head that was as beautiful as Xu Xu in the blood light of the setting sun, the muscles in Lei's body began to tremble.

The recent period of continuous battles has greatly improved the internal qi in Lei's body, and his body has grown significantly, but his muscles and muscles are more flexible and soft, and when he walks in the woods, he doesn't make a sound at all.

In the mountains of his hometown, Ray can sneak up on a group of the most astute foxes in the middle of the night without letting them find out, so it is too easy to use this skill against the soldiers of the coalition army. Silently, Ray passed several patrolling detachments and approached the coalition camp from the side. These coalition soldiers were so careless that they hummed ditties while patrolling, which in some way proves why their legion is no match for the Van army. Perhaps because Ray had fled into the city walls, these coalition soldiers absolutely did not believe that they dared to come out and die, so apart from the tighter security on the front, there was little defense on both flanks.

Deep in the woods, Ray saw a lot of torches, and countless Smart soldiers were limp down the trunks with machetes, cutting off the branches, and then piling up the straight trunks one by one. Others were weary and weary digging holes in the trunks of trees with their daggers, while others were cutting thinner trunks into sections.

Ray didn't know what they were doing, but he guess he was making some kind of tool. Ray wasn't interested in these things, and what excited him was that many Smart soldiers were sneaking towards the tents in the woods, apparently preparing to sneak away. These soldiers are all members of the elite legion of the imperial capital, and they are used to being domineering in the imperial capital on weekdays, where have they ever done such a drudgery? This is what should be done by lowly laborers, if they don't slip away to rest, they are really idiots.

Sneaking into a tent with the three soldiers, Ray knocked them out one by one with a fist, and then quickly ripped off the clothes of the tallest guy and put himself on. It's tight, but no one notices it at night, right?

Clearings were cleared in the woods, piles of bonfires burned in the clearings, mountain winds blew, and the flames danced wildly, casting black shadows out in a mess. Thunder was among these dark shadows, step by step, towards the core of their camp. According to Lei's understanding, those who lead the army are afraid of death, so they must live in the safest place, which is naturally the place with the highest concentration of soldiers.

Along the way, no one asked whether Lei was his own person, Lei couldn't help but be amazed in his heart, if the person who came today was not himself, but a team composed of high-ranking knights, looking at this situation, the coalition army would be stabbed fiercely. Doesn't their commander really have the slightest ability to control the army?

However, considering that Carlin was a magician after all, and his orders were sometimes messed up, it was not surprising that such a thing could happen. Moreover, Ray had walked all the way along the bottom of the cliff, having bypassed the defense line of the 'Silver Sword' Legion of the Wright Empire, which had the strongest defense in front, and Smart's military camp was at the rear, who would have thought that someone would be able to blend in? If it weren't for a person like Ray, who grew up in the mountains and forests, it would be good to be able to find the direction, where could he be so easy to blend in?

In the distance, a two-hundred-foot-wide separation zone suddenly separated from the dense forest in front of him, and in a circle of clearing, there was a separate military camp, which was brightly lit, and the laughter of women could be faintly heard. Ray's eyes lit up, there are female magicians in the Smart Imperial Army, who else can recruit them into the tent for fun, except for those with the highest status?

But seeing the dense soldiers and a large number of high-ranking knights on the periphery of the small barracks, Lei's scalp was numb, and it was indeed worthy of being the camp of the high-ranking people, and the defense was at least a hundred times tighter than the large camp outside. It seems that it is impossible to get close to their camp, but the distance of two hundred feet is exactly the most powerful range of their bow and arrow, and they may be able to snipe a few high-level knights...

Lei pondered for a while, and finally slowly untied the longbow on his body, stuck twenty bamboo arrows into the dirt ground, and knelt down on one knee under the shadow of a big tree.

The arrow was on the bowstring, and Ray was about to open his bow, but there was a commotion in the barracks, and a dozen Bicester Bear Knights and a few Smart Golden Knights escorted two people out of the camp. The one who couldn't walk staggered was a smiling Karin, with a flushed face, and it was Bobkaat who was dancing and vowing to cut off the head of the Shagru. Both of them looked like they had drunk a lot, and they were walking out with their shoulders hooked. However, their posture was a bit odd, and Carlin tried to hook Bobcart's shoulder, but his height could only fit his waist, so he unceremoniously put his hand on his hip. And it was really difficult for Bobcart to hold Carlin's shoulder, so he pressed his big hand on Karin's head indiscriminately, and the two of them laughed and walked out of it, purely like two drunks.

Thunder's heart was ecstatic, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat, Carlin, Bobkaat, the two biggest enemies are here, but who is the shot? There is only one chance, absolutely only one arrow. Those Bear Riders, one person is enough to take out dozens of mines.

No, no, his own strength is too strong, and it is difficult for a sneak arrow to have an effect on him. Moreover, he was just the prince of Bicester, and he attacked him by sneaking up, at most making the Bicesters go crazy to attack their walls, and the coalition forces would not move. If Karin can be killed, maybe the Smart Empire will be angry and demand that all the coalition forces go out...

Ray briefly analyzed, then aimed his head at Carlin, who was sideways to his neck.

The bowstring was full, and then, thumb-thick bamboo arrows whistled and shot at Karin. The arrow was shot, and Lei immediately pulled his feet and left, and the internal qi in his body flowed, making him a few points faster than the galloping horse through the trees. The branches rattled, and Thunder had already run more than two miles, and then he suddenly came to his senses: "Damn, if he really shot Carlin, what if Smart's people don't avenge him? Maybe they will ask the Imperial Capital how to deal with it? Damn, why didn't you think of it just now?"

The bamboo arrow whistled towards Carlin's neck, and a faint flash of white light was already less than three feet away from Carlin's neck. The golden knight behind Carlin was startled, and roared angrily and drew his sword to slash at the bamboo arrow, but it was too late.

Fortunately, Bobcat, who had been putting his big hand on Carlin's head, slashed down with a quick palm, and the palm hit the middle and front of the bamboo arrow, and the arrow was deflected down by two feet. . . .

Then, blood splattered, followed by a miserable howl from Karin, and the bamboo arrow shot in from the fullest part of Karin's left buttocks, and through the fullest muscle on the right, and nailed the back half of his body tremblingly, the arrow smeared with sumac sap emitted a strange purple-cyan glow under the light of the torch.

Carlin screamed and held the arrow behind him with both hands, wanted to pull it out but didn't dare, wanted to touch the wound with his hand, but was afraid of touching his own blood, just stood there and kept screaming. He wanted to jump, but in addition to the severe pain, the two muscles on his hips were also crazy and itchy, and the itching and severe pain of the heart were mixed together, making him unable to jump.

Bobcart and the Bicester Knights looked at Carlin with an extra last on his ass with strange expressions, and their expressions looked so weird. I don't know if it was intentional, none of them went to chase and kill Lei, and no one thought of issuing an order to martial law, so Lei easily escaped back to the city wall. As for the senior generals of Smart, who were supposed to be responsible for chasing and leading the search, they all gathered around Carlin one by one, carefully studying Carlin's injuries, where was there time to care about this?

As a result, the whole forest heard Carlin's terrible screams, but his camp was a little far away from the soldier's camp, and the soldier's camp was also very noisy, but no one knew that Carlin was suffering from the most strange injury in the history of war...
