Chapter 284 Counterattack
During the truce of about 2 months, Arthur has not shown any signs of movement, and the royal capital has acquiesced to almost all of Arthur's actions and has not interfered with any of his actions. The reconstruction, as expected, went really smoothly and unacceptably. Winter always passes quickly, too fast to get used to. The previous year has passed rapidly, and what kind of wonderful chapter should be written this year.
The bow of the counterattack officially kicked off in a surprise attack. The night is bleak and beautiful, tranquil but hidden with countless murderous opportunities.
The Odessal Grand Canyon, located in Farin near the border of the Beast Emperor, directly exists in an unclaimed area that stretches for dozens of miles, belonging to the buffer zone of war, which is relatively safe in peacetime, and often smuggling caravans sneak in and out from here, and every year, they smuggle female slaves and male ** subordinates to the outside for labor and pleasure.
The physical fitness of the orcs has always been above that of humans and elves, elves are the most noble race, their eyes are higher than the sky, and orcs are warlike by nature but hard-working.
There were a few people sitting around in a relatively secret cave, Arthur, the shadow elf Sana, Fire Weaving, and these three sat in the innermost part and roasted the fire, and then knelt on the outside near the cave door A few men in shabby clothes but with fierce eyes, the expressions on their faces were less ruthless, and there was a little more fear in the face of death.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to kill you, I'm just asking some questions. As the main general of one party, his usual movements have been monitored, and this time he used the crane to make a golden cicada out of his shell, and it is expected that no one will find out.
A few days ago, in order to facilitate the movement in the future, after adding the royal capital for the time being, the shadow elves Sana and Fire Weaving forcibly stuffed Arthur at the request of the chief butler Sha Lin. Arthur wanted to refuse, but unfortunately Sharin's attitude was tough and did not give Arthur a chance to maneuver at all, so the matter had to be abandoned, but fortunately, the two did help Arthur a lot, especially Sana, who knew the orc territory very well.
Huo Weaving, who is usually a shadow, has been standing behind Arthur, and there is no relaxation in his eyes, these smugglers were caught by her, thinking of what just happened, these men who killed people without blinking couldn't help but shudder, whether she was a human or a monster, how could she turn a blind eye after dismantling people.
"Your Excellency, we are good citizens, don't kill us. ”
"Don't be sloppy, I just want to know how you usually dodge the border guards, what are you talking about!"
Smugglers are like pervasive stinky rats, always sneaking under the noses of others, and they all have their own special passages, so that they can sneak through the garrison and shuttle through various countries without being discovered. As a high-risk, high-reward profession, they do know more about the local mountains and bad waters than their own military.
For Arthur's questioning, they were a little mentally prepared in advance, but they suddenly frightened Arthur, and the prepared rhetoric seemed very pale and weak.
"Do you think I'll believe it? If you want to leave it at that, then you don't have to, it's a big deal that I'm arresting a bunch of smart people, so you can lie down in the soil and rest in peace. ”
"There is a big road here, surrounded by canyons and dense forests, full of demonic beasts, my army will pass here, it will inevitably be ambushed by the other party, I know you are not Falins, but you are also considered a human race, orcs are so rampant, don't you worry about a catastrophe sooner or later?"
"I don't care how many sins you have, but as long as you tell me how to get through here safely, then I'll let you go. ”
Arthur said in a deep voice.
Several smugglers glanced at each other, and an older man got up and walked slowly towards Arthur, and with each step closer to the fireweave's eyes, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
"Come on, it's alright!" Arthur reassured.
The man swallowed a mouthful of spit, walked to Arthur's side with a wandering look, whispered a few words into Arthur's ear, and then quickly backed away.
"I know the general situation, now you can leave, I'm sorry, I killed a lot of your companions, and we also took those innocent women with us, I hope it won't cause you unhappiness. Arthur smiled kindly.
The men kneeling on the ground hurriedly waved their hands, "My lord, you are laughing, it is the greatest grace that you do not kill us." ”
Several people turned and fled, Sana behind them frowning at Arthur. "You just let them go. ”
"Or else?"
"They're bad people. ”
"Just because I let them go doesn't mean my men will let them go. He looked back at Sana. "Go back and tell Commander Jialie that he will take 5,000 men to the jungle 50 miles to the west, where there is a dead tree, and from there you will find a path that is relatively safe. ”
Sana asked, puzzled. "Aren't you going back?"
Arthur got up and patted his buttocks, then turned and walked out with Fire Weaving. "I'm going to help you clear the way, otherwise it won't go so well. ”
Shortly after Arthur's disappearance, Sana went out to find Commander Gare.
Arthur took the fire weaver to the depths of the Sisley Forest, as a buffer zone on the border, there will be a lot of scouts nearby, but because the border is too long and the monsters here are strong, there will be many blank areas, and these blank areas are inhabited by powerful monsters.
The colorful slugs were the ultimate goal of Arthur's trip, and the smugglers were not in danger of their lives because of their territory.
The colorful slug belongs to the 10th order of the magic beast, and the record in the monster chronicle is good, only drinking dew, but it has extremely strong toxicity and healing, although the level of the magic of all systems is not high, it is an extremely rare and very comprehensive magic beast. Sometimes they help others, but they also attack others to protect themselves.
Although the strength is not top-notch among the tenth-order demonic beasts, it is better balanced in all aspects, and the smuggler also reached some kind of tacit agreement with this local boss to survive.
And the smuggler said that this colorful slug has a bit of a strange personality. However, when Arthur and the fire weaver found the nest of the colorful slug, he immediately felt that his intelligence had been insulted.
The whole nest resembles the back shell of a snail, but it is countless times larger, and it is upside down on the ground and extends to the bottomless underground. The key is not the main thing, about 50 meters around here are colorful flowers and mushrooms, even the back shell is colorful, for fear that others will not know that there are people living here.
Surrounded by countless butterflies, this is a paradise compared to the back walk Arthur just walked. A breeze swept across Arthur and Fireweave's cheeks, and Fireweave immediately stood in front of Arthur, and the circle of perception immediately retracted into the hole.
"Fire weaving, don't scare others, we're just here to excuse ourselves, why are you doing the same thing as us like the bad guys!" Arthur crossed his arms and looked at the scenery around him.
The heart is Dao, the one inside will really enjoy life, and he will live a life with the feeling of being a master in the world.
"Yes, master. ”
"Go inside, I'm going to see how weird the one inside is. ”
