Sosi is not good at commanding war, but he has never seen a lone wolf give birth to cubs, but he has always seen a lone wolf running. He led more than a thousand men, of whom 600 were private soldiers he had raised, and the rest were temporarily hired from the Mercenary Guild. Heavy shield fighters were in the first line, great sword fighters formed the right flank, cavalry was on the left flank, and sorcerers and archers were on standby in the rear. This is the standard battle formation, and while common, it is practical.

In such a direct face-to-face situation, as the book says, 'the brave wins'. But the problem is that there is a huge disparity in the number of people now, and Chen Xiansong's side can't be brave if he wants to. As for what is said to be strategizing and defeating the strong with the weak, judging from the current conditions, that is simply nonsense. It takes time and space to perform a strategy, and now Chen Xiansong has none of these two points, and what is even worse is that he is much inferior to the other party in terms of strength.

Maybe there is a genius who can open up the situation in this situation, but Chen Xiansong can't, he is an artist at heart. Some people say that war is also an art, but the problem is that there are categories of art, and each artist specializes in different directions.

Udir trembled with anger, his 'dream' was intermittent and incoherent, and most importantly, in his 'dream', Chen Xiansong and Bai Min never appeared, as if these two people had no future. He dreamed that Sossi would come to stop him, but he didn't dream about how they would get out of this predicament.

"Ten" Sosi raised his hand and began the countdown.

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Xiansong, in their team, only about a hundred mercenaries had combat effectiveness, and the other more than three hundred were women, they were now hugging each other and screaming and shaking, if there was a real battle, they wouldn't say help, it would be good not to help.

"Nine."

Sosi's forces were one step closer. The footsteps of thousands of people stepped out at the same time, and the footsteps converged, like a dull war drum, and the atmosphere on both sides suddenly became tense. Udir was trembling with anger, but he was helpless, if they had enough combat power, even if they spared their lives, he would have to keep his students safe, but the current situation was that there were many people on the other side.

"Eight." With such a hesitation, the time was lost by another second.

Udir quickly walked over to Chen Xiansong's side. He hurriedly said, "Child, get out of here quickly, let Ms. Bai Min take you away, I think they shouldn't be able to keep you." ”

"Seven."

Chen Xiansong's gaze withdrew from Suoxi, and he asked rhetorically, "After I'm gone." What do you do? ”

"Sossi and I are old acquaintances, and he's actually a good person. As long as you're gone. Presumably he won't be too us. Udir spoke very quickly, as if he was in a hurry to seize the time: "As long as we return to Black Rock City, it will be our territory, and even if we are prepared, even if Suossi brings more people, we will not be afraid." ”

This is indeed the best way they can think of at the moment, Chen Xiansong nodded. Just as he was about to summon Bai Min over, Suoxi suddenly shouted, "Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, and Ms. Bai Min, you are a soul thinker. A servant of the sun god, if you want to escape, we really can't stop it. But we also thought about it a long time ago, if you escape, then I will kill everyone here, including your teacher. ”

Sosi's expression was very serious and cold, so no one suspected that he was lying. The women were in an uproar, and they began to regret why they had moved out of the town, and now they were going to die, and although something would happen in the town sooner or later, it was better to live a little longer than to die at once.

Udir coughed twice, his eyes full of red threads: "Sosi, are you really so ruthless?" For what you have to do to obey Riccarddo's orders. Why do you want to target us? We are not going to get involved in the struggle of the association? ”

Hearing Udil's question, Suosi's face was moved, but soon his expression became cold again: "Udil, you are the same as me, you are an old guy who has lived for decades, isn't it clear that people live in this world, they always have to stand in line." There has always been a struggle within the association, but it has been going on in secret, and everyone is just pretending not to know the truth, and you can't be unaware. Now the struggle is on the bright side, forcing everyone to take sides. You, I, are not exempt from vulgarity. ”

"Can't we be neutral?" Udir gritted his teeth and shouted.

"You're a lot older, you're still so naïve, and your personality is still the same as when you were young, as if it has never changed." Sosi's eyes were full of mockery: "Neutral! To put it nicely, it is neutral, but in essence, it is the grass on the wall in the mouth of the Sun Temple. Whichever side is going to win, you will fall to the other side, and then enjoy the fruits of victory, there is such a simple thing in this world. Don't you think you're too shrewd, Udil? ”

"What's more, His Excellency Chen Xiansong is a deep thinker of war souls, who dares to let him remain neutral?" Suoxi sneered: "You can't use it, you can only destroy it, don't you understand this kind of thing?" ”

"Six,"

Udir has always believed that the wind is like water, when other soul thinkers and nobles unite to build their own power, he guards his own one-third of an acre of land, does not expand, does not seize power, when other soul thinkers desperately try to find more women to have more children, hoping to give birth to a soul thinker offspring, he guards his dregs wife, when other soul thinkers use knowledge to reconstruct the private money, he hands over all his experience and discoveries to the association, only using the bonuses and monthly rules issued by the association.

He was not a party or a self-interested person, and he felt that by not participating in the struggles in the association, he would be able to stay away from the annoying trivialities.

He didn't care what other people thought, but his old friend, who had the best friendship, actually saw him like this. He felt very heartache, like a knife cutting his heart, as soon as a person grieves, there will be problems with his body, he feels that there is something blocked in his throat, he can't breathe quickly, he can't help coughing twice, and then some blue liquid overflows from the corner of his mouth.

Chen Xiansong saw it and was taken aback: "Teacher, what's wrong with you?" ”

Udir knew that he couldn't hide it, he took out the silk handkerchief, and spit out a large mouthful of blue blood in his mouth, and the white silk handkerchief turned into a blue patch, which was very cold.

After spitting out a mouthful of blue blood, Udir felt a little more comfortable in his chest, and he waved his hand: "I'm fine." ”

Sosi also saw it, he was silent for a while, and said, "Udil, you are dying, in that case, what are you fighting for?" Hand over Chen Xiansong, I can help you take care of your family, although I dare not say that they will be rich, but let them have a corner of land, I can still guarantee it. ”

"You are my best friend, for the sake of factional fighting, you can bring someone to kill me." Udir smiled bitterly, the wrinkles on his face had a sickly yellow: "My relatives are not familiar with you, you can even kill me, if there is a need for the day, you will definitely not be soft when you kill them, how can you tell me to believe you." ”

Sosi was silent, he subconsciously wanted to say, we are friends, how can you not believe me. But this time it came to my mouth and I swallowed it. He came with more than a thousand people, blocked his old buddy, didn't let him go home, and threatened to kill him, can this still be considered a friend?

Sossi felt a little embarrassed to have such an anachronistic, contradictory idea. He will be silent when he is ashamed, and after silence, he will be calm, since he can't be a friend, then he will simply cut it off.

"Five." Sosi's countdown voice grew colder and colder.

Chen Xiansong looked at Udil, he heard Suoxi's words, 'You are dying', and then, his mind was a little confused, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, or he didn't think about anything. Natural people who have been pampered by new humans since childhood will not lack family affection, although they have only been together for a few months, Chen Xiansong will still regard Udier as a relative.

No one is indifferent to the news that a loved one is dying.

"Don't listen to Sosi." Udir smiled naturally: "I'm just a little uncomfortable. ”

Chen Xiansong nodded subconsciously, he also hoped that the teacher was just a little unwell, but he knew in his heart that what Suoxi said should be true. The little one came to him from the carriage at some point, and was tugging at the corner of his clothes. The little one's expression was resolute, as if he had done something important.

Catherine and Ruth poked their heads out of the carriage and looked nervously.

"Four".

"Okay, don't count anymore, I'll go with you." Chen Xiansong shouted loudly.

Sosi was stunned for a moment, then a stiff smile appeared on his face: "Very good, Your Excellency, you have made a wise choice. ”

"Child, you ......," Udir coughed again.

"Teacher!" The little guy smiled sweetly: "Wherever you go, I will follow." ”

Bai Min didn't say anything, just got closer to Chen Xiansong.

Balf and the others looked at their masters, their faces were ugly. These expressions are not aimed at Chen Xiansong, but at themselves. They felt that they were useless, and at such a critical moment, they could not protect their masters, but instead asked their masters to sacrifice to save their lives.

Feeling very aggrieved, they want to work hard, but they also know that it is useless to work hard, they can only die in vain.

"Can I explain something?" Chan Hyun Song asked Suoxi.

"Please." Sosi waved his hand, and his troops slowly pressed in, encircling the convoy.

"Kid, you've really decided?" Udir walked over, his face full of shame: "As a teacher, but I can't protect my students, I'm a failure." You can blame me or hate me, but I hope that you don't get too involved in the fight between the associations, otherwise it will be difficult to get out in the future. ”

Chen Xiansong nodded: "Yes, teacher." ”

Udir looked at his student's calm face, and felt that he was useless, and coughed more and more frequently.

"Xiaomin, along the way, these people rely on you to protect you." Chen Xiansong pressed his hands on the girl's shoulders and smiled: "Don't be so ugly with an expression, I'm just going to Emperor Fall City for a while, I still have use value, and I won't die so quickly for the time being." When you get home, tell Sister Qianxin about the matter, and she should know what to do. ”

"I don't ...... Leave. Bai Min's face was expressionless.

"They all said that the expression should not be so ugly." Chen Xiansong rubbed the girl's smooth face and smiled very sunny and free: "Also, this is an order, you have to listen to it." (To be continued......)
