Chapter XXIX

With the last of his strength, Yuge made a dive, and we fell several kilometers into the woods of Bird Island. After a night of running, she was already exhausted.

β€œrau!”

Just as we were about to land, a few vines entangled us and helped us cushion in the most timely manner.

"Yuge, are you okay?"

She clutched her injured shoulder, which was almost healed and the blood had dried up. "It's long gone, it's just a little bit of flesh."

Suddenly, a figure burst out of the woods.

It was a lean man in a rudimentary camouflage suit, with a tough face and a steel harpoon in his hand.

"Who are you?"

I took a closer look, isn't this the dragon Shao who was detoxified that day, and his figure has changed greatly. If it weren't for his rare complexion and perm, I wouldn't have recognized him at all.

"Brother Quan! It's really you Brother Quan! Long Shao was excited.

"Long Shao, you ...... You okay? "I can't imagine what he's going to experience these days when Long Shao is left alone on Bird Island." Do they have trouble for you? ”

"Embarrassed? What's so embarrassing, Brother Quan, let me tell you that this is the best dream I've ever had, damn it! All of a sudden, the fat I hadn't lost for ten years was gone. Long Shao smiled from ear to ear. Moreover, there are beautiful women by my side. Take good care of me. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the tall woman standing on the tree next to him, she was wearing a white veil, and looked at us in shock, she was Haori, the sister of Haka. "Brother Quan, let me tell you that she is now my new target, hehehe. It's just that she doesn't seem to like to talk much, Brother Quan, you said I should ......"

"Little Song!"

Haori flew down excitedly and hugged her sister. "Who told you to come back? Why did you come back? ”

"Sister, Mr. Liu Quan enlightened me, I understand everything, I used to be ignorant, I ......" Yu Ge was gently covered in the middle of his words.

"Don't say any more, just come back." They hugged each other tightly.

Seeing Yu Ge, who had been standing behind me, Long Shao was half frightened, grabbed my hand tightly, and whispered in my ear. "Brother Quan...... How could this strange woman appear in my dreams, oh my God! ”

"Don't call her a strange woman anymore, you can be saved thanks to Miss Yuge." I reproached. "You forgot you were poisoned that night?"

"Poisoned! By the way, I remember I had trouble breathing, and then I suddenly lost consciousness, Brother Quan! Am I already dead? Long Shao suddenly choked up. I said why I thought everything was like a dream, because I was dead. ”

Saying that, Long Shao cried, squatting under an ancient tree and hugging his head and crying.

I didn't bother with him, because he wouldn't understand it when I explained to him at this time, and the most important thing now was to think about how to face the tens of thousands of fish-man armies and race against time.

"Haori girl, can we go to no one's place for a while." I interrupted the sisters, who were comforting each other.

She nodded, pointed to the depths of the woods, and I followed her into the woods, dappled light and shadow, pleasant birdsong, lush trees, and the scenes were fleeting.

I don't know how many days this beauty will last in the world.

She took me and Yu Ge to the lake where they had bathed in the morning, but yesterday's frolic noise was now empty, and the melodious singing was gone, leaving only the calm and paper-like lake lying there lifelessly.

"Mr. Yanagi, I used to offend a lot" Haori suddenly spoke, "Thank you for taking care of your sister these days." ”

"Miss Yuori is not polite, Yuge also helped me a lot, and was injured last night to save me, I should say thank you."

She smiled slightly. "I won't be polite to you, you asked me to take you to no man's land, there must be something important."

"Sister, we encountered the Fishmen's forces on our way back, and I expect them to surround Bird Island before dark." Yu Ge could no longer hide the panic in his eyes.

Haori was startled and said in a low voice. "This ...... So fast. But after you were driven away that day, my mother ordered me to gather all the people of my tribe, and I had made the simplest arrangements. ”

"Has the girl been to war before?" I asked.

Haori shook her head and sighed deeply. "Bird Island has never been at war, how I hope that there will be no more war in this world, and everyone can be with the people they love forever."

Haori smiled, her smile was very beautiful, there was a half-familiar beauty, but after the smile, it was just that behind this smile was the rest of Xiao Suo, who really couldn't be closed.

"Mr. Liu, in fact, I was planning to give your friend a boat to send him out of Bird Island just now, but I didn't expect you and my sister to come back, you ...... Why do you bother? Haori said sadly.

"Sister, Liu Quan came back with me to help you annihilate the fish-people in one fell swoop." Yu Ge said.

Haori shook her head helplessly. "Sister, to tell you the truth, there are less than five hundred people on the island now, excluding the three elders, and the three elders have profound mana, we could have fought to the death, but now they have lost too much physical strength to save that human being, and they are no longer able to participate in this big war."

"Five hundred...... Five hundred! "My heart instantly froze, I didn't expect that Bird Island only had this kind of manpower." There are indeed too few of them. ”

"I know that there are many fishers, can you roughly estimate them?" Haori's eyes became panicked.

I recall the huge warship formation I saw, the fishbone-like formation connected by iron cables, and it is still creepy when I think about it now. "In my observation, there are more than 10,000 fishmen."

Yu Ge also nodded. "I'm afraid it's just a little more."

Haori was taken aback and stood still, falling into silence for a long time. With a desperate sigh, it seems that Bird Island, an out-of-this-world place, will cease to exist in the future. ”

"The odds aren't great, but you can't say it's completely none." I comforted.

Haori sighed disapprovingly. "Five hundred against ten thousand, unless we are all one against hundred. Otherwise, where do you get the odds? ”

"Sister, don't you know, yesterday with the help of Izumi, we have cracked the spell on the last page of Torishima Shi."

"You! You cracked the book! Haori looked at me with a wide open mouth, and then laughed disapprovingly. Impossible, this spell can't be cracked for thousands of years, how can he be a foreigner. ”

"Haori girl, during the great war, you can naturally see that spell reappear, but relying on that spell alone is far from enough, we need more precise strategic deployment." At this time, I don't want to talk too much about spells, that spell is a double-edged sword, Yu Ge can cast it alone, and one more person is afraid that the entire Bird Island will be razed to the ground in the lightning and thunder.

"Izumi? Could it be that you have any other good plans? Yu Ge looked at me suspiciously.

"Can I ask, Miss, how did you arrange these five hundred troops?" To be honest, although there were only 500 people, there was not the slightest despair in my heart, but a spark was burning. Because 500 people, as long as they command properly, they can still do wonders.

"Now these tribes are hiding in this forest, because this forest is the only way to the base camp." Haori pointed to me where her men were. "The fish-man is brave and invincible in water combat, we definitely can't clash with it head-on, I can only use this method after thinking about it, we have the advantage in the forest."

Haori is right, it is indeed unwise to fight the fish-people at sea, but it is even more unrealistic to let the fish-man army pass through this forest en masse.

"Mademoiselle has never seen their warships, these warships are connected end to end to form an incomparably powerful whole, these fishmen do not want to fight us in a land encounter, but want to attack us in one place and destroy us in one fell swoop." I'll explain it to Haori.

"Sister, Izumi is right, those fishmen have trained such an elite warship formation, I don't think they have any intention of going ashore at all."

"Is it necessary for us to avoid a fight and bring them ashore?" Haori pondered for a moment, but still did not give up on her plan. "When we fight at sea, we hit a stone with an egg."

"The possibility of luring them ashore is very small, and in my opinion, in order to avoid startling the snakes, they will at most send a small team of men into the woods to find the base camp and gain insight into our troops." I analyze it little by little. "So this grove is enough for a dozen people to ambush."

"Then how do you think these five hundred men are to be deployed?"

"I'm proposing to ambush all the fish-headed boats on the riverbank." I replied resolutely.

Both of them were shocked when they heard this. "Izumi! You are crazy, we are at a disadvantage in all respects, and going to war on the banks of the river is tantamount to sending you to death. ”

"Don't worry, it's not too late to listen to my general plan before denying me."

So I told them about a whimsical idea that suddenly came to me after seeing the formation of the fishmen.

Time slipped away in waiting, and the sky slowly darkened.

It's an intoxicating dusk again, and the sunset is infinitely better.
