Chapter 13: Goodbye is the princess
Just when Princess Yang and the defenders of Shu at the head of the city looked at the battlefield outside the south of the city in confusion, a thunderous voice sounded in the dark night sky: "I am a messenger sent by the gods to defend the capital of Shu, and the aliens have been completely eliminated by me, order the besiegers to retreat immediately, otherwise they will be destroyed!" ”
Not only did the air utter a resounding cry that completely drowned out all other sounds inside and outside the city, but red lightning shot from the sky towards the besieging army that was already in chaos on the ground.
The Uohara tribal army was first terrified and confused by the two flying men who suddenly appeared, and then the leader and the adept who commanded the battle were either killed or injured by an aerial strike, and the earth-shattering intimidation of the siege soldiers finally caused the siege soldiers to completely lose their fighting spirit.
The Uohara tribesmen fled like an unstoppable river bursting its banks.
Bass ran out of energy with a pistol in his hand, and after being pursued by cavalry, he rode into the woods and quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest.
The pursuing cavalry searched around the forest and could not find the enemy's figure, and then heard the roar that only Thor could make, and they hurriedly turned around and ran back, seeing that the general situation had gone, the main force had fled, and the cavalry also scattered to the south.
By the time Rag flew back into the woods, Bass turned back.
After the two met, they greeted each other and checked their condition, although Bass was a mortal body and had no ability to block arrows, but he just made a sudden attack and fled after flying all the way, so he miraculously missed an arrow and was unscathed.
Although Ragh's coat has been pierced by arrows through countless hollows, his outer body is made of super alloy, how can he be injured by the bow and arrow of an underdeveloped human. The only thing that disturbed them was that the two of them had been reduced to their lowest combat power, and Rag's spare energy block had run out of energy, and they would be powerless if the siegers returned.
Rag reported the battle to Raco, who said, "You two have completed the prerequisites for the deal, and I judge that the besiegers have suffered heavy losses and will not return soon to continue the battle. Even if the besiegers returned to continue the siege, the Shu army should have the ability to defend the castle. The best solution is to return to the spaceship to rest first, and then return to the capital to complete the deal with the Shu people. ”
Bass and Rag agree to Raco's suggestion and return to the ship in a flying car.
Seeing that the enemy was frightened and retreated, Princess Yang did not immediately order to go out of the city to pursue, because she herself felt that the powerlessness caused by the poisonous smoke still did not disappear completely, and Daorong, who was guarding her side, also thought that the deserters could not be pursued at this time, because even if the Shu army could catch up with the enemy, it would not have combat effectiveness, but would let the enemy turn around and fight back.
When the enemy soldiers disappeared at the end of the night, Yang led the city with all the guards and a group of soldiers, and the priest and a group of witch doctors met with the princess, and after a while, they ordered the defenders to go out of the city gate to clean the battlefield.
The priest takes the witch doctor and a group of soldiers to search for the corpses of the aliens in the Uohara tribe army on the battlefield, while Princess Yang and Daorong take the guards and a group of soldiers to find the two benefactors who saved the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city.
Yang and Daorong had just seen a large group of Yuyuan tribesmen searching in the woods to the west outside the city, and they concluded that a benefactor had taken refuge in the woods after striking the enemy. Moreover, they then found that after the enemy troops on the ground had withdrawn, the god-man who had shouted in the air also flew towards the woods.
The princess was convinced that the enemy cavalry was looking for the young apprentice in the woods, and that his magic skills were certainly not as good as that of the god of war, and she was forced to flee into the woods to hide in the face of a large number of enemy sieges. And the master, who claimed to be the messenger of the gods, flew into the woods for the safety of his disciples.
However, to Princess Yang's bewilderment, many soldiers with torches in their hands searched for a long time in the woods without seeing a single figure, and they did not see any blood on the ground in the forest.
Because the stakes were so high, Yang would not give up easily, and she ordered the soldiers to continue to expand the search area.
The old priest and his people soon made a major discovery, they found several corpses that the priest believed to be the stranger around the banner of the Yuyuan tribal army, and he ordered the corpses of the stranger who killed his disciples to be sent to the altar, and the priest wanted to burn these corpses as sacrifices to avenge the dead disciples and the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom.
Subsequently, the priest ordered the corpses of the Shu soldiers on the battlefield to be buried overnight, and the corpses of the enemy soldiers were piled up and set on fire.
The priest was a little worried when he saw that the princess and the others had not returned to the woods, and after the cleaning of the battlefield was arranged, he rushed to the woods with a few people.
Princess Yang thought of another possibility: the young big-eared god man was captured by the cavalry of the Yuyuan tribe, and his master could not find the apprentice after entering the woods, and then flew to find the dignitaries of the Yuyuan tribe.
When she saw the old priest coming, the princess hurriedly expressed her worries.
The priest comforted: "Princess, after tonight's battle, we can be sure that the two benefactors are not ordinary strangers, but really the messengers sent by the Sun God to save our Shu Kingdom. Since the messengers of God will inevitably be protected by God, they should go up to heaven to report to God about the siege of the city tonight, so let's go back to the city.
Besides, we have yet to make a deal with the two messengers of God, and they will certainly return tomorrow after dawn. What we have to do is prepare for their arrival after dawn and then meet all their requirements. ”
Shortly after dawn the next day, Bass and Rag left the ship for the castle. The two of them were still dressed up yesterday, except that all of Rag's clothes had been changed to new ones.
Last night, before going to bed, Bass told Raco to keep an eye on the ship's observation system at the castle outside the mountain, and to wake him up as soon as he found signs of war, and then he and Rag went to the rescue. Although the two of them have completed the prerequisites for the deal negotiated with the Shu people, if the enemy returns and captures the capital of Shu, it will not only lead to a bitter battle between the two of them in vain, but also their spaceship repair plan will also be frustrated.
Raco understood the importance of protecting the castle, and he kept a close eye on the castle and its surroundings through the observation system throughout the night, but fortunately, the Uohara Tribal Army did not attack again, Bass slept soundly, and Rag was well rested.
This time, when they appeared outside the woods in high spirits, it immediately caused the cheers of thousands of soldiers at the head of the city, and after a while, the leader of the defenders of the south gate galloped in a carriage with a dozen cavalry.
This time, it was greeted by an ornately decorated open-top carriage, and when the carriage carrying the two gods entered the city, the music in the city rang out in unison and cheered one after another.
The avenue leading from the south gate to the palace lined up neatly and orderly with heavily armed soldiers, who rhythmically chanted some kind of religious slogan to visitors.
At this time, the weather is sunny and the sun is sprinkled all over the earth, which is the best day for the Shu people who worship the sun god.
As the carriage approached the palace, Bass saw at a glance a girl standing at the gate of the palace compound, although she was wearing an ordinary military uniform, but the military uniform was very decent, fully reflecting the curves of her small but extremely graceful body, and her delicate facial features, fair complexion and flowing hair made the young bass's heart beat.
Behind the girl stood an old priest in civilian clothes and another girl in civilian clothes, with a bronze sword stuck at her waist like a priest.
When the two guests got out of the carriage, the three people at the door stepped forward to greet them with smiling faces.
The priest took two steps forward and pointed to the girl in military uniform and said, "Two distinguished envoys, please allow me to introduce, she is the eldest princess of my Shu Kingdom, Yang, because my Shu king and the prince and general are in poor health, so I specially sent the princess here to greet the two distinguished guests." ”
Princess Yang just smiled but didn't speak, when Bass met her eyes, the princess smiled, and Bass returned with a kind smile, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that the princess's eyes were familiar.
Rag didn't care about the sudden appearance of the princess of Shu and asked the priest: "You mean that this time your king of Shu is going to meet us?" ”
"Exactly! Two distinguished guests, please move, the king of Shu and the prince have been waiting in the living room for a long time. The priest said politely.
Last night was the time when the Shu people came to the world, not only did the messenger of God help them defeat the enemy army besieging the city, but the king of Shu and the eldest prince also seemed to have been helped by the gods to regain their senses.
When they learned about the siege from the princess and the priest, their weak bodies were immediately rejuvenated. Father and son immediately decided that as soon as the two god-men returned, they must personally thank the life-saver as sick bodies.
When Bass and Rag walked into the reception hall with the priest and princess, the King of Shu and the eldest prince, who had already been dressed neatly, struggled to stand up with the support of the maid and greeted the guests with smiles on their faces.
After the priest's introduction, the king of Shu and the eldest prince sat opposite the two guests. The princess and the priest and the grandson stood on either side of the king and the great prince, respectively.
The king of Shu looked to be about forty years old, and he seemed to be lacking in qi because of the arrow wound. He began by expressing his gratitude to the two guests with great gratitude, and said that because he and the prince had been wounded by arrows, he had not met with them yesterday and could not meet them in person today.
Bass immediately understood that the so-called prince general he saw yesterday was actually the princess in front of him, he looked at the princess with verifying eyes, and just met the princess looking at him, the moment they looked at each other, the two smiled heartily, everything was silent.
However, Bass's heartbeat immediately accelerated, and it was the first time in his life that he could connect with a strange girl without mental energy.
Princess Yang's heart is also full of joy, the young god in front of her is not unattainable, but as easy-going and kind as a long-known friend, and they have an indescribable tacit understanding with each other.
However, Raga did not understand the complex relationship between biological humans, and he said to the king of Shu: "Respected king, thank you for meeting us with injuries, but the prince was able to meet us yesterday wearing heavy armor and a mask, which shows that he is in good health, and I didn't see the prince go out of the city to fight last night, why is he so seriously injured today?" ”
The King of Shu was speechless for a while, he looked at the priest, and the priest hurriedly explained: "Distinguished guest, the prince and general were already wounded by an arrow when he fought with the Yuyuan tribesmen a few days ago, and it was a poisonous arrow, so it was difficult to heal for a while. In order not to let outsiders know the news that our king and prince could not lead the troops to fight due to injury, so the princess had to come forward to pretend to be a prince to command the army and people of Shu. ”
Rag glanced at the princess and smiled, "I see, Bass and I were a little puzzled as to why the prince was wearing armor at the fair. But I wonder if the deal we made yesterday will go ahead?"
The king of Shu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the guests had no reproach, and said in a loud voice: "Of course you can, I heard that the distinguished guests have made immortal achievements but only need a little bronze in return, this king feels that it is too uneasy, this king is willing to give the only set of gold armor and masks in my Shu Kingdom to the two messengers of the gods to bring back to heaven."
Rag smiled: "A set of gold armor is useless to us, if you have ten sets of such gold armor in Shu State, we will ask for all of them, even if we can help you fight another battle." ”
Everyone present laughed, and the atmosphere in the living room changed from solemn to relaxed.
The prince, who had been silent, looked at the two guests and asked with a smile, "Venerable messenger of the gods, this prince has a question, what is the use of bronze for you?" Is there a need for bronze to make swords in heaven? ”
Rag was silent and looked at the bass. As an intelligent human, Rag is undoubtedly much more rational than a biological man, and he believes that in the current situation, he can neither state the facts and reveal his true identity, nor lie to the king who warmly welcomes him, so he has to leave this difficult question to his fellow biological people.
Bass also felt a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but look up at the princess, who looked at him with a smile and her eyes full of anticipation. At this moment, a thought suddenly popped up in Bass's mind: the acquaintance with this princess of Shu will be a good beginning for his long-term existence in this world, and perhaps fate has long been destined to pass by this princess in the dark. Therefore, from now on, he must bear the consequences of his words and actions.
Thinking of this, he looked at the father and son of the King of Shu and said in a calm tone: "As you imagine, Laga and I are from another world outside the sky, but it is not the ethereal immortal world that you think, but a world dominated by ordinary humans like this world.
It's just that your humans here can only make carriages and move around a very limited range at the moment, while our humans there are able to make flying objects that fly in the air. So, we can move freely between multiple worlds. ”
Bass stopped at this point, and there was silence in the room. Although the bass is not very fluent in the vernacular spoken through the language cap, the words are accurate, and the audience clearly understands what he is saying.
The king of Shu and the prince looked at Bass speechlessly, Bass raised his eyes to look at the princess, the princess stared at him with wide eyes, her face was full of surprise, and Bass smiled at her easily, indicating that she was telling the truth.
With a smug look on his face, Rag did not add an explanation, but casually looked at the few bronze artworks in the palace drawing-room.
Since no one in the audience questioned it, the bass continued to say in a calm tone, "Because the flying object we were flying in was attacked by someone while flying in the sky, and the shell was broken. In order to repair the shell of the flying object, we came to your world in search of gold, and later learned that your Shu Kingdom has very little gold, so we had to use copper metal instead. ”
