Chapter 408: Bite back
The mentality of pinning hopes on the stupidity of the enemy already speaks for itself. Jiao Ming didn't care much about the life or death of the Red Mountain Kingdom, he only cared about the crocodile collar, after all, the method of closing the heart had been obtained, and the knot in his heart was gradually untied, and returning to the crocodile collar was just around the corner.
"Then the crocodile collar aspect. ”
Yisi slapped his thigh, "I almost forgot if you didn't mention it." Hurry up and teleport the second lady of the crocodile collar away, although I don't know the specific situation of the front line, but under the defeat and scattering, the crocodile collar is regarded as a broken rear force. And by this time, maybe they have run away. ”
The meaning here is, of course, an allusion to deserters, or at least to hide and paddle. In fact, whether this force will fight desperately or not, people with a discerning eye know in their hearts. If the order is stable, you can still be forced to force it, and you are not afraid that you will not accept it, but who can take care of anyone in the chaos of defeat and retreat, even if you send a small number of warlords, you will be killed in battle.
Jiao Ming realized that he had to 'rescue' the 'hostage' Second Miss before the Red Mountain Kingdom's large forces were assembled and he noticed that the crocodile leader was lazy, although this was a violation of the alliance agreement.
Although there is plenty of time in terms of time, Jiao Ming didn't want to delay the fork any longer, and he nodded with Yisi and was about to teleport directly, but was pulled back.
"By the way, take me and a few other people back to Clear Water City. ”
"Portal ......"
"Of course it was blown up. Otherwise, you still use this broken carriage?" Yi Si didn't have a good breath, and then he was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "How did you know that the front line was defeated?"
In Yi's mind, the defeat has been less than two hours, and even if someone on the front line uses qi magic to contact the rear, the major nobles should have a sense of secrecy and will not publicize it indiscriminately. Jiao Ming is not good at communicating, and basically has no acquaintances in the Hongshan Kingdom, and the information channels can be called closed. Without the flow of information at the level of a portal, there was no reason for the news to reach Jiao Ming's ears.
Jiao Ming didn't think so deeply, "I heard this news in the viscounty, specifically from the portal connecting Qingshui City. ”
"It's troublesome, someone deliberately spread the news. Yi Si sighed, stroking his forehead with a slight headache about the task of presiding over the internal order of Clear Water City. Then, in the name of the pregnant woman's need to rest, he ordered several carriages to stop together, and when the large army left, he asked Jiao Ming to teleport to these acquaintances, which could be regarded as a step ahead.
Although there is a suspicion of ignorance of the general situation and not forgetting infighting at a critical moment, considering Jiao Ming's limited teleportation ability, it has no choice but to do so.
After sending Yi Si and the others back to Qingshui City, Jiao Ming also teleported to the second lady of the crocodile leader in the noble district of Qingshui City, a certain grand duke's mansion, and united with several crocodile leaders who had been prepared to escort the magicians of various departments who were in charge of house arrest and surveillance. Then teleport back to the Viscount Leader and take the portal back to the Crocodile Territory, which can be regarded as completing the 'hostage rescue'.
By the way, the second lady, who was only two and a half years old, under the constant repetition of her mother's teaching, said to Jiao Ming with a word-by-word crocodile and a milky voice: "Thank you, brother." ”
Although he knew that this was just a child's words, and it was not about gratitude, Jiao Ming was still stimulated to protect the child, and most of the unhappiness accumulated due to the personality of the silent person and the defeat suddenly dissipated, and after obtaining the permission of his mother, he kissed the little guy's face, which was more tender than a boiled egg.
It seems that due to the influence of this interaction, Jiao Ming's mentality has changed, resulting in a feeling of being closer to the crocodile collar. After hesitating for a moment, I decided to go to the front line to take a look, the Red Mountain Kingdom and the Tro Leader dog-eat-dog matter, I can't care about it, and I don't bother to care, and the warriors of the Crocodile Collar can save or save a few.
Sensing the marks on the bodies of Lady Ziyu and Chunyu, he found that the spatial environment on the opposite side seemed to be a little complicated, and Jiao Ming started to teleport without thinking too much. However, as soon as the variegated lines of light distorted like an aurora in the spatial passage disappeared from view, three bands of white light mixed with blood color came in an arc.
Momentarily stunned and confused, Jiao Ming realized that this was a knife light, and he was almost frightened, although he felt that it was too late, he still prepared to send it to the air regardless of it. However, the three knife lights all stopped on the skin of the lower abdomen of the neck, and at the same time, a big hand pressed Jiao Ming's shoulder, and a deliberately low-pitched reprimand sounded: "My own people, scattered." ”
After the chill on his skin disappeared for a long time, Jiao Ming, who was in a cold sweat, came back to his senses from the fear of facing death, leaned against the trunk of the tree, gasped for breath, and looked around.
When I received the news of the defeat, it was dusk, and it was already night. By the dim and jumping flames of the four fires around, it can be seen that this is a rather dense forest, surrounded by towering ancient trees embraced by three or four people, dotted with shrubs and vines, quite primitive.
Around the fire, there were many black figures standing or sitting, so many that it was impossible to distinguish the number for a while. And in the nearest place, you can see a group of familiar or familiar people sitting together, discussing something in a solemn whisper. Not to mention the Duke of Crocodile and Lady Purple Feather, the Lady of the Fin Thorn and his wife are also there, as well as a few eight rings such as Spring Rain. But there is no figure of the third Nine-Ringed Saburu Hail of the Crocodile Collar.
"Come, drink a bowl of soup to suppress the shock, sorry for scaring you just now. ”
A fairly soft voice sounded in Jiao Ming's ears, and when he turned his head, it was a familiar old woman, who seemed to have seen it when the crocodile led the northern castle.
"Thank you. In fact, I was too reckless, and in the battlefield environment, such a random teleportation must be suspicious. After a few mouthfuls of hot soup, Jiao Ming felt much better, and was glad that in this dim environment and the tense atmosphere of battle, no one had time to make fun of the ugliness just now. "Where are we?"
"Of course they're running away. Chunyu's voice picked up, but there was not much panic in his words.
Returning the empty bowl to the old woman, Jiao Ming wiped his mouth, and asked him to leave the high-level meeting, and the spring rain who came over said in detail. The encounter of the Crocodile Leader team was roughly as Jiao Ming had predicted, with only an order to intercept the enemy and delay time, with no other support or supplies.
And the people in the crocodile collar are not stupid, they planned to rush out to make a show of stabbing in the oblique stab, and then contact Jiao Ming to 'rescue the hostages', and finally run away directly. As for those assets of the Red Mountain Kingdom, they should be fed to the dogs, and they have already paid off during this period of time anyway.
But two unexpected circumstances disrupted the plan.
First of all, the Tro Territory didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he didn't care about the main and secondary divisions of a large number of people to chase and kill here, and he had a posture of rushing to kill everything, and he chased into this deep mountain and old forest before being temporarily thrown away.
The second is the new generation of specially enchanted armor with exceptionally strong defensive power, which makes the expected bloody battle very easy and easy. The team of one hundred and fifty people thought that they would die or be captured in the breakout, but after they got rid of the pursuers, they counted them, but they did not expect that only three would die.
“...... We are just discussing whether to go back, continue to undertake the work of breaking off, and maintain the covenant with the Red Mountain Kingdom. ”
Jiao Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this, and wanted to question whether this willingness to 'break up and post back' could be understood, after all, the essence of 'abandoned son' and 'fugitive' in the words and deeds of both parties not long ago could not be hidden. But if you think about it carefully, the new defeat of the Red Mountain Kingdom is in urgent need of support, and Tro Ling can continue to earn, which can be described as a hit. As a politician, cheekiness is the basic quality, and all suspicions in the face of interests can be explained by 'misunderstanding'.
"But I've already sent the second lady back to the crocodile collar. ”
"It's not a big problem, if you continue the covenant, you can send it over. Chunyu smiled slightly.
Jiao Ming nodded unexpectedly, and continued, "What's the matter with the armor, and why did you lose in the afternoon?"
Chunyu took a torch and lifted a piece of iron armor the size of the bottom of a basin from his body, charging it to activate the enchantment, making it appear blood-colored lines, "Try it." ”
According to the words, a spatial crack was torn on it, and then Jiao Ming opened his mouth wide, this defensive strength is indeed ridiculously high.
Casting magic on something that has no enchantment effect is like punching in the air. Casting magic on the weapons and armor of ordinary eight-ring water magic warriors after enchantment and cultivation is like punching in a large mass of gelatin that envelops the whole body. Casting a spell on this new type of enchanted armor is like moving in the gravel, which is not only sluggish and difficult, but also faintly stinging.
"It's kind of interesting. How to do it. ”
"Let's wait until we get back to the crocodile collar and ask someone. Chunyu pulled back the iron armor, and looked heartbroken at the new scratches on it. Then he pulled out the big sword with his backhand, and when Jiao Ming thought that this thing was going to cut people for revenge, he cut it on his wrist fiercely, and once again enchanted it with blood.
Jiao Ming rolled his eyes, and after seeing a lot, he knew that enchantment didn't have to be so rough and bloody. The crocodile leader has returned to civilized society, and these 'local laws' should also be changed. But thinking about the embarrassing identity now, I still put this matter in the back of my mind. Poked Chunyu, who was in a state of addiction, with his fingers, and reminded: "What's going on with defeat." ”
"We wonder too. I was very happy to watch the play, and the royal earth magician phalanx suddenly exploded under it, and the dust and black smoke lifted the old high, and then the defensive barrier dissolved by itself. The artillery fire on the opposite side was even more intense, and the entire phalanx naturally dispersed. As Chunyu spoke, the earth law enchantment did not stop, until the blood-colored lines on the iron armor in his hand had recovered as before, and then he nodded with satisfaction.
But Jiao Ming's heart moved, and he wondered what the silent personality had done in the afternoon. First of all, the choice of position must be carefully checked, and it is impossible to hide the fire mage from the fire mage by planting explosives. And in the process of magic confrontation, it is impossible to teleport explosives, could it be that the qi magicians of the Red Mountain Kingdom are all decorations.
The only possibility is based on the silver ring's blessing of space magic. In other words, without another silver ring, it could only be that the Silent Personality helped Evan teleport a large bomb to the feet of the Earth Mage Phalanx. Thinking of this, Jiao Ming asked a few words in his heart but didn't get a response, so he had to leave a hello for the time being.
Then Jiao Ming asked for some details, some of which were confirmed, and some of which Chunyu didn't know. At this moment, there was a shouting warning sound from the outside of the camp, and Jiao Ming only heard a few swishing sounds, his clothes were torn into the air, and the nearest fire was empty.
"You're not coming?"
"I'm in charge of protecting you. ”
"Oh, it doesn't feel good, but thank you. ”
Chunyu didn't answer, just listened quietly, "I'm afraid what makes you feel worse is still to come." ”
"What do you mean. ”
"Run away with you. With that, Yi Si clamped Jiao Ming under his arm, and ran deeper into the east of the dense forest according to the instructions of the shouting and summoning message.
At this point, Jiao Ming was a little glad that he didn't eat at night, and at the same time he felt that he had lost face and wanted to keep up with it by teleportation magic, but he was directly exposed by the spring rain to break the camp: teleportation magic. Jiao Ming remembered that when he went to the Southbound Advanced Magic Academy, he seemed to have a similar experience, and he was speechless.
"When is this going to escape? In a moment it's time for the madman to come out and take over. As the sound of explosions and magic fluctuations behind him faded away, Jiao Ming asked.
"When he comes out, he can restrain the opponent's qi system above the nine rings, and maybe he can fight a wave of counterattacks. ”
"What are you kidding, no matter how belligerent he is, it will be good for nothing against the nine rings. ”
"Hee-hee, in that case, he'll run with us, don't worry. ”
Jiao Ming suddenly felt that Chunyu's married life must be very harmonious, and the change in her personality was not too obvious, but considering this woman's fierce character, she still didn't complain. "What is the strength of the pursuers behind?"
"Two hundred people are mixed in four lines, two above the nine rings, three nine rings. ”
", such a big feud?"
"I guess it may have been the direct heir of a big family who accidentally killed during the breakout. Chunyu said and leaped over a fallen ancient tree, and continued: "Some people also guess that it is because we have competition in many commercial products, and we are not pleasing to the eye. ”
"That's not right, since you've been driven like a dog, how can you talk about taking on the task of blocking to continue the covenant?"
"Because of you. ”
Jiao Ming didn't deviate his thoughts to the ambiguous side, but confirmed: "My teleportation magic?"
"Before the war, I heard that there was something more powerful, but no one believed it. But with armor as proof, I have to believe it. ”
Frowning slightly, Jiao Ming always felt that this statement was a little strange. Even if you don't believe it, wouldn't it be self-evident to show it up, how can you hide it and not use it. No matter how big the temper of an individual or group is, it should not be arrogant in the matter of life and death of the clan.
After completely getting rid of the pursuers, everyone counted the number of people, but there was one less. It is also impossible to know if he was lost or killed in the initial sneak attack, although the latter is more likely. Everyone understood this, but they didn't say anything, just lay down in silence with the knife on their pillows, and seized the time to rest.
Jiao Ming saw it in his eyes, although he was a combat layman, he could also feel the depression of the overall atmosphere. And the decision-making level can obviously see more things, by the fire in the new camp, after a few slightly fierce quarrels, the crocodile duke first asked Chunyu vaguely, and then personally asked Jiao Ming to teleport.
Asking about the content of the task, although it was a chore, Jiao Ming still accepted it.
At this point, the Crocodile Collar finally made a decision to fight back.
