Chapter 344: Then Run

Quiet summer

Butterflies flutter among the flowers

I have some thoughts in my heart

Thinking about potato chips

I can pretend not to see

You're secretly eating durian there

Until I touch your fat face

......

A gust of wind came from the sky, interrupting the song, blowing away butterflies, tugging at skirts, and shaking dull hairs.

In the shade of the trees, in the chaise longue, Artoria continued to read the book.

Next to the flowers, on the stone bench, Melidi pressed her skirt with her hands.

Diana saw the huge blue dragon descend from the sky, blinked, and put the six-stringed instrument in her hand aside.

"Lady Lef?" asked Diana to the beautiful woman who had taken on a human form in front of her.

"You're Diana?" Lev was curious about the girl, "Well, it's a little beauty." ”

"Hello, Lord Lef. Meliti greeted Lef.

"Hello, little one, you're a lot older than when we last met. Leif responded.

Artoria left the chaise longue and walked over and said, "Why do you have time to come, are you here for a few days off?"

Leif put on a bitter gourd face and complained: "Originally, I came to play with Victoria for a few days, but I was caught by them one after another and lost." ”

Then she looked at Diana and said, "Charles asked me to bring you a present." ”

"Wow!" Meliti's eyes lit up, and she was more active than Diana, "Lord Lef, what gift did Charles have?"

"Boom!"

A two-meter-high, half-meter-diameter rock pillar suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The surface of this rock pillar is extremely smooth, without a single crevice.

Diana remembered what she had told Charles last night, frowned, and then looked at Leif with a puzzled look.

Leif smiled and said, "We think Charles's gift for you is good, you can take it, my mission is complete, it's time to go." ”

Artoria asked, "How is Charles doing?"

Leif smiled slightly and said, "It's a little stuffy." Then she turned into a dragon and flew away.

"What do you mean?" Confused, Melidi looked at Artoria, who had returned to the shade of the tree to continue reading, and then at Diana beside her.

"Literally. Diana replied as she tucked the pillar into the storage ring.

Then she looked at the sky and said, "It's time, it's time to lecture Rachel and them." ”

Dividing line?

Near the entrance to the tunnel leading to Heights 303, miners who had completed their excavation began to evacuate.

When the miners evacuated, the elven soldiers began to build defensive forts on both sides of the tunnel mouth out of excavated rubble, which they needed to defend for the time being.

A gag order was placed on Her Majesty's presence and other matters, and the miners were forbidden to discuss anything about the operation for a period of five hundred years.

As for what Her Majesty did in it, all the parties concerned kept silent for the rest of their lives.

The old miner, Scargill, was the last to leave the tunnel mouth with the cage of the safety bird, and then the other miners began to temporarily seal the tunnel entrance.

Arethosa oversaw this final work, but she frowned when she saw Skagill come out and asked, "Skagil, what about Charles, he didn't come out?"

"Huh?" Skagill was stunned, "Your Highness, he has long since left, and you didn't see him?"

"Charles left?" Arethosa was also surprised, "Why didn't I see that?"

Seeing that she really didn't notice Charles's departure, Scargill said to her: "He was the ball Her Majesty was carrying at that time, and he left with Her Majesty when she left." ”

It was only then that Arethosa remembered that Victoria had left with a large ball in her hand, and Lady Leif carrying a huge stone pillar, and she had wanted to go up and speak to Her Majesty, but Her Majesty waved her to keep her busy, and then left with Lady Leif.

Skagill saw Arethosa's look a little strange, so he said hello and left with the safety bird.

Scargill had also heard something about Arethosa before, as if Arethosa had a human friend back then, but then she was killed somehow, and then she treated all humans as weak chickens, and caused some conflicts for this, and finally Elizabeth sent her to the south far from humans.

Arethosa stepped aside, and a soldier from the baggage squad came up to ask for instructions.

"Sir......

Before the soldier finished speaking, Aritosa waved his hand and said, "The mission is canceled, there is no need to send Charles back to Osmanthus City." ”

When night fell again, Osmanthus City suddenly issued the latest order, the raid and harassment operation was stopped in advance, and the troops returned to the defense line to strengthen the defense.

As a result, peace was restored on the front for half a night, and several of the fishmen in the abandoned fish-man stronghold watched the retreating figures of the elves, rejoicing in their aftermath.

At the same time, among the fishmen, from Jenny to the small bosses in the stronghold, they are all confused about the elves' actions.

This time the elves attacked all the lines without warning and without purpose, as if they thought the night was good, so they came out to fight, and then they felt that the moon was obscured by the clouds, so they retreated.

After receiving the news that the elves were retreating on all fronts, Jenny walked around the office for two or three hours without thinking out what the elves' purpose was for such a big battle this time.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Jenny chose to strengthen his defense to keep up with the changes.

The successive failures in the south of Wutong City made him realize that his policies in the past two years seemed to be on the wrong path, and he also needed a little time to reflect.

At the same time, Charles also embarked on the road to continue west.

Victoria and Leif didn't embarrass him, but only let him go after slightly punishing him for using the artifact without understanding the situation.

It's just a pity that Charles couldn't see the traps set by Victoria when they were launched, and it was said that they would be spectacular at that time

But the fish-man and the demon found it I don't know when, and he didn't bother to wait there.

Although it was a pity that he could not see the scene where Victoria said that the countless vines spawned by the divine power on the stone wall strangled the enemies on the top of the mountain, at this time he was more worried about whether the old village chief of Snow Ridge Village had received his letter and whether he would agree to his plan.

This year's flood in the south and drought in the north is a foregone conclusion, which is both a disaster and an opportunity.

If done correctly, there is no need for "sheep to eat people", and those greedy grain merchants and nobles can provide enough labor for the newly built textile industrial base in Linda's domain.

At the same time, as long as nothing goes wrong, Charles can use this opportunity to make a fortune in all aspects.
