Chapter 21: Behind Enemy Lines (Part II)
Wren smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yahan and I are both experienced in a hundred battles, even if we can't break through the enemy's encirclement, we still have the ability to protect ourselves." Wren stroked Arran's head, a look of remorse.
"I'm really sorry that the first time I took you on a journey, I put you in danger. Ahan, that boy, is much luckier than you. Over the years, he has never suffered defeat with me. ”
"It's not my father's fault, it's that I didn't listen to my father and brought the troops into the Windhelmet Valley without permission. So I have to take the responsibility as well. "How Alain wished his father would change his mind and let him stay.
But Wren stubbornly shook his head and said, "No, it's not your fault. On the contrary, I am very happy with your performance. If it weren't for the intervention of the Evil Bone Tribe, in fact, we would have won this battle a long time ago. Wren sighed deeply and continued, "Well, wait another day at most." If you still can't find a way out tomorrow, you and Miraya will have to leave the Wind Helmet Valley first by the Frost Cloud Tiger. ”
His father's words were so firm that Aram had no room to maneuver. Leaving his father's tent, Aram's heart became very heavy.
Miraya, who was sitting at the campfire, saw that Aram was preoccupied, and made a bowl of broth from the soup can. Cautiously brought it to the front of Alan: "Young Master Alan, your face is not very good. Let's drink a bowl of soup and warm up!"
Aran took the soup bowl and couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he saw a few pieces of meat floating in the light soup. Isn't food scarce, how can there be meat? For a moment Aram seemed to understand something, and there was no doubt that the flesh had been cut from the horse. I was afraid that the dry food would have been eaten long ago, so the soldiers had to slaughter the horses to satisfy their hunger. But even if you kill all the war horses, how long can you support it? The thought of the starvation of more than 20,000 soldiers made Aram lose his appetite. The broth that came to his mouth was put down by him again.
"What's the matter, Master Alan. Is this soup unappetizing?" Miraya frowned, this horse meat soup was indeed not delicious, but with the current conditions, I am afraid that I will not even be able to eat horse meat soon.
Aran shook his head slightly, "Miraya, my father has decided to let the two of us ride the Frost Cloud Tiger tomorrow and evacuate the battlefield first. ”
"Your Majesty is doing this for the sake of Young Master Alan. "Miraya is like a doll with a blank face, even if she learns the news of the battlefield that she can leave tomorrow from Aran's mouth, she still can't see any emotional fluctuations on her face.
"But I can't just leave my father and eldest brother alone. Aran had an angry expression on his face. "It was I who insisted on going my own way and put everyone in crisis. Now how can I run for my life alone like a vile coward. ”
"Young Master Alan, you are still too young. You simply can't understand the feelings of a father. Miraya did not persuade the hot-headed Aram. She's just like an older sister, packing up for Aram.
"Wait, Miraya. If you really have to leave tomorrow, can you promise me one last condition. Aram stopped Miraya as she was packing her things.
"Young Master Alan, you should know Your Majesty's personality. No matter what excuses you come up with, you can't change Your Majesty's decision. Miraya's eyes were as clear as water, and it seemed that a glance penetrated Aram's thoughts.
"Don't think of me as a scoundrel, I just want to get out of the camp tonight and see if I can find another way out for the army. Arran's nervous voice trembled slightly.
"Didn't Captain Pete search two days ago, and there is no other exit from Windhelmet Valley at all. Miraya's face was full of suspicion, and she really didn't know what the hell Master Aran was up to.
"I know, but Captain Pete only searched the ground, but didn't climb the hill to see. ”
"Does it make a difference?" Miraya wanted to dispel Aran's idea of taking risks, but when she saw Aran's determined gaze, her heart softened again.
"I really want to do something for my father, tonight's actions are only known to you and me, if you still can't find a way out, I will honestly go back with you tomorrow, and I will not look for trouble. Alain swore awkwardly.
"Okay, but please don't leave my sight, and don't search beyond five miles of the camp. At Aram's insistence, Miraya finally relented. Let's just let this brother be willful again, the end result will be the same anyway, Miraya thought to herself.
Looking at Miraya's rather embarrassed expression, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Alan's mouth. "I know what you're worried about. But Miraya, in fact, I have the ability to protect myself. He smiled and reached for his duffel bag. Take out a strangely shaped hilt.
The hilt of the sword is shaped like two puffy clouds entwined in a spiral. Although the color was a little old, there was a mist-like blue light around the jaws of the sword. Just looking at the style and craftsmanship, people can feel that it is an extraordinary thing, but the only thing missing from the beautiful hilt is the sharp blade, and such a mutilated thing seems to be difficult to become a sharp weapon to kill the enemy.
If it was an ordinary person, after seeing Aran take out this unseemly thing, he would definitely think that Aran was joking, but when Miraya saw what Aran was holding in his hand, her eyes shone strangely. "This is, the Wind Blade, the Phantom Sky. ”
"Hehe, Miraya, I didn't think you were really a knowledgeable person. Aram ostentatiously played with the hilt of his sword.
"Young Master Alan, how did you get this artifact, hasn't the phantom sky been stored in the family's treasure house all along?" Miraya's tone was obviously reproachful. The Wind God Blade - Phantom Sky is a weapon on par with Yan Bing's sword. It is said to be a magical weapon capable of wielding the power of the wind. The reason why Phantom Sky doesn't have a blade is because it doesn't need that long, heavy part at all. All the wind elements in the air can be turned into invisible blades under the control of the phantom sky. The length of the blade can also be freely changed depending on the user's will. It can be elongated and shortened. It is not easy to defend against an attack by an invisible wind sword, and this is the power of the Wind God Blade, the Phantom Sky.
"It's Elena's girl, secretly brought it out of the treasure house. She said that I would definitely encounter danger on this expedition. How can you defend yourself without a proper blade. So before I left, I just stuffed this treasure into my bag. ”
The Elena mentioned by Aran was her own sister and the youngest of Wren's many children. I'm only 12 years old this year. She and Aran are about the same age, and the two are very close. But as long as the siblings are together, they can always get into a lot of trouble. Wren and his wife also had a headache because of this.
"Miss Elena!" Miraya could only respond with a wry smile at the thought of the trouble-making little princess.
"Alright, Miraya. You shouldn't have to worry about my safety now! With the Wind God Blade in hand, encountering ordinary miscellaneous soldiers is not as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. ”
