XVIII. Since ancient times, the forest has been wonderful
"Captain, how long will it take? A voice sounded lazy, but somewhat excited.
"Look at the map, it should be soon. β
"Should?"
"It's the first time I've gone out, how much better do you think I'm than you?"
"That's true. After a pause, he lazily approached the captain and whispered: "I heard that the girl inside is the new harem of our Highness!"
"Where did you learn the words? The captain lowered his voice. "Where did you hear that?"
"Ah, do you think, that's a pure dark elf, it's different from us, since Her Highness has brought her to the city, how can it not be that kind of relationship?"
"It seems to make sense, but... It still doesn't feel possible. β
"Why? Captain, tell us about it. β
"It's too peaceful. β
"Huh?"
"I mean, she's too late. Who doesn't know if we go to the city, His Highness likes that kind of thing, hooked and lost. The captain said, and gestured with an S.
"It seems to be true, but what if His Highness changes his taste?"
"Moon Black is in your mind, you only think with your lower body, right?" Tilly sat in the tent cart, unable to listen.
"Hey, what is Advisor Tihua talking about, Your Highness, that's... Is that... Captain, what's going on?"
"Our Highness is looking at the inside! Not only must you be in good shape, but you must also be beautiful! You must be wise!"
"Hmph!" Tinka smirked, "Because of wisdom!I'm the advisor!magic advisor!" pinched her waist.
"Captain... I don't think she's very smart, so let's just follow her and save trouble. β
"Listen to you. β
"......" Tithua stomped her foot in grief, turned around and got back into the tent car, and while taking out the map to look at it, she drew circles with her fingers, "Damn Moon, you just sent me out when you slept together, and I will definitely bite you to death when I go back." β
"Young master, you're basically ready. Luo Xia tidied up Moon's clothes, "Actually, you don't have to be together, let's just take someone to the forest to investigate." β
"That's not good, my territory, that's it! I'll have to see for myself. β
Luo Xia smiled and didn't insist any longer.
"Speaking of which, that Tyka guy should be here by now, right?" Moon seemed to have just remembered something.
"Well, almost. I should have just arrived at the rest point, and it would probably take a while to find Caesar. β
"Hey, mistake, I didn't set up contact information with Frois, and I couldn't find him! Am I a stupid pig!?"
"Poof. Luo Xia covered her mouth lightly, "Okay, isn't this Tihua going to contact Caesar, there is no need for the young master to be entangled." β
"Hmph, that guy, must be thinking about coming back and biting me to death. Moon rolled his eyes. "Let's go. β
Behind Moon, there were three hundred squadrons drawn from each other, and the Moon Neng Guard. There are also some slaves brought back from Fury Flame before - carrying supplies, Spartan three hundred sounds good, there is no logistical supply, what kind of war?
The faint light source was blocked by the cobalt blue shirt above the forest, and after breaking into the deep blue forest outside the country, the group was no longer stingy, and the magic lamp lit up the world in front of them. The first large-scale dispatch of the Lunar Guard, it turned out to be like a hyena looking for a hare in the forest, rummaging around and picking up.
The Annihilator's spear is heavily shielded, emptying the plants that stand in its way. The Spellbreaker unsheathed his sword, guarding Moon's flanks. The Demon Hunter is agile and moves through the branches of the giant tree, bearing the responsibility of vigilance and early warning, and as the leader of the Demon Hunter's squadron, he keeps himself near Moon and reports the news he receives. In addition, Moon also led a team of about ten magicians, led by the squadron leader of the magician squadron, Ao Feng, a natural magician.
"Young master, from now on, there will be no marks on the map, after all, no one will come here before, let alone measure it in person. β
"Well, let people quickly draw the surveyed terrain into a map, and we only have to take one step at a time. It took about an hour, Moon finally took Jixiang City as the starting point, came to the edge of the border, looking at the cobalt blue shirt in front of him and behind him, Moon was still a little apprehensive.
Advancing in exploration, exploring in advancement, the team methodically made their way into the depths of the forest, but Moon kept frowning.
"(pulling)" Moon turned his head to look at Bone Dance who was tugging at his sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Moon forced a smile.
Seeing Gu Wu's expression, Moon touched his forehead, probably guessing that she was frowning and a little worried.
"It's okay, think of the little things. Moon made a relaxed expression, then kicked the Nightblade Leopard under his crotch and sped forward.
Luo Xia and Bone Dance looked at each other, didn't say anything more, and followed Moon in silence. Because of the map, the team didn't move forward very quickly, and there were no dangers along the way, and occasionally you could see a few cute creatures, and I don't know if they hadn't seen the elves before, and they didn't know how to react.
"That's it, camp and rest. "Moon was standing next to a lake, and the terrain was quite open, so it was suitable.
"Yes, Your Highness. Sain answered, and a red ball of energy shot into the air, informing all the guards.
In the camp
"Meeting. Moon sat in the middle of his tent, and naturally someone conveyed his meaning to the squadron leaders. I have to say that although magic is very convenient, considering the situation of the Moon Neng Guard, although it is in the deep blue forest, it can be used less or less, so the way of issuing orders is more primitive --- beating drums.
After the three-way drum sounded, the squadron leaders who followed Moon this time, including the old Turing, who was a professional drawing, gathered in front of Moon one by one.
"How's the mood of the guards?" asked Moon. The squadron leaders sitting across from him looked at each other, but no one spoke first. In the end, it was Sain who stood up.
"Your Highness, I don't know about the others, my cubs, that mood is quite excited. β
"Well, what about the others. β
"Your Highness, my people are similar. "It was Ao Feng who spoke, the leader of the mage group this time.
"Oh, that looks like a bit of a problem. β
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" said Thane, glaring at his eyes, and said in a snarling voice, "Your Highness is in any trouble? Sain's words drew echoes from several squadron leaders.
"Huh. Moon lifted Erlang's legs and propped his chin with one hand.
"It seems that you all think that the current state of the team is normal?"
"Huh?" Thine craned, "Your Highness... What's going on, if you say it directly, we're a little confused. β
"Hey, I don't blame you, even if I just reacted. Moon tapped his thumb on the side of his face and continued: "Originally, I thought that you were all trained for a long time, and your ability was naturally no problem, and your psychological quality should not be bad. The result?"
"The result?"
"I'll tell you what I've seen along the way. Along the way, there are extremely high emotions. There are stones to open the road, and to build bridges every water. I received a warning that I was uncertain, and I went to confirm it again. There are those who shoot at the magic of the magical beasts that appear by chance. There are lawbreakers, there are people who talk and laugh along the way. Moon looked at his squadron leaders and asked in a steady tone, "Do you think this is normal, should it?"
When Moon first started talking, several people didn't feel anything, and even in the end, Sean didn't think there was anything wrong. Until Moon asked, "Should it be?" Sein seemed to grasp a point, and couldn't say it.
"Your Highness, I see. It's not too late to adjust. Ao Feng got up, his face was a little red, there was no way, he took the lead in entangling the demonic beast that suddenly jumped out with vines first, and then let his subordinates destroy it with ice and fire.
"Ao Feng, what's the matter, tell me. Sain asked directly Ao Feng who stood up, following the previous city's atmosphere has always been like this, even in front of Moon, discuss what should be discussed, ask if you don't understand, no one will be held responsible.
"It's easy to say, it's that we've been ignoring it all along, or we've deliberately ignored it because of indulgence. Ao Feng coughed, and then said, "What are we? We are His Highness's guards, and we are the army!"
Sain suddenly reacted, what was the problem before, but it didn't prevent Ao Feng from continuing: "The guards can have emotions, they can have emotions, but they shouldn't show it in the march, it's like going out for an outing." That's the first point. β
"The method of opening the way in front of the Annihilator, although it is direct and effective, does not fit the current environment, we are exploring this new territory, this is almost a completely unfamiliar territory for us, and it should not be a surprise. β
The demon hunter went to confirm the warning from the front, and he was somewhat distrustful of his colleagues. β
"I took the mage formation to shoot the demonic beast, uh... It was my dereliction of duty, first, not determining how much the other party really had, second, not arranging the attack level, and third, not taking into account the huge mana consumption that came with it. In case there is danger in the future, we who lack mana can only be slaughtered by others. β
"As for the lawbreakers... At least the duty in the previous march was to protect His Highness, and the most important thing may be that we can't be affected by our emotions and not put our responsibilities first. β
After saying that, Ao Feng bowed and sat back down, looking at Moon at eye level.
"That's pretty much, that's about what it means. After a long silence, Moon spoke again: "I don't mean to blame you. I didn't think there was anything wrong with me before I set off, and I didn't feel anything wrong with the journey. It wasn't until a while ago that I felt something was slightly wrong. β
"Actually, the main responsibility is still on me, and I didn't anticipate it in advance, let alone organize everyone to sit down in advance to study countermeasures. "Moon wasn't really angry, just a little down. If there is a problem, if you find it, you will solve it. The point is that Moon feels that the responsibility lies with him, and he has not thought about what may happen in the future, or he has not thought about it completely, and has not prepared in advance. That's why he's a little depressed.
"Your Highnessβ" Sain wanted to say something else. Moon waved to stop him.
"Okay, shut up, that's my problem. Moon stood up, stretched, and continued, "That's it, let's go." Go back, each of you, and tell me what I mean, and then you have to pick yourself up. β
Moon drove everyone out of the tent and sat down to look at the sky.
"Young Master. Luo Xia thought for a while, "You are too gentle." β
"Uh-huh. Moon smiled, "No, this kind of thing is really a problem with me, they themselves are just unawakened, how much education can they receive? And I only cared about studying ways to open up and increase power, and I only stopped at educating them in loyalty, and I did not think about cultivating their military qualities at all. Moon slapped his head, "Am I stupid, I cultivated the strength of the guards, but I didn't have the ability to guide tactics and strategies, oops, I'm stupid." β
"Young Master..."
"Okay, I see! Don't comfort me, I won't blame myself or anything! Hmph, eat! Eat! Let them communicate with their cubs on their own, and we'll get rid of all the delicious food first!"
There is a clear difference between the food of Jixiang City and Hei Yao, the entire Black Yao is mainly based on Black Yao fruit, while Jixiang City is mainly based on the fruit of a hybrid plant, supplemented by the dried meat of various creatures. The hybrid fruit was named Moon Ice, the second of Moon's Discovery of the Century! No way, when Bone Dance tried it for the first time, he wanted to say that this thing was a little cold, but it turned out to be Moon Ice somehow, but it was just a name, and it didn't matter.
"I think we should go back and figure out how to make this thing taste better. Moon smacked his lips, a little dissatisfied, "The taste is too bland, go back and try adding something else." β
"Well, the young master has the final say. β
Moon was about to say something, but at this time, an alarm sounded in the camp, and red energy balls shot straight into the sky. The lighting in this forest was extremely poor, and for some reason, all the magic lamps that had been used to be extinguished.
In the slight commotion and confusion, three hundred people stood in formation, although they felt a little panicked, but the guards quickly calmed down their mood and waited for the battle. Rekindle the lights with fire magic as the wizard team rekindles the lights. Unlike the expected enemy position, it was not at the main gate of the camp, but at the back of the camp, in the direction of the lake where there were not many defenses, and strange creatures crawled out.
The creatures were about the height of the dwarves, their limbs were thin and weak, and each of them held a hammer as large as his head. The two eyes stared like light bulbs, and they looked very discordant on the round head. The erected fins on their backs seemed to tell Moon that they had something to do with fish.
He shouted a slogan that he didn't know what it was, waiting for his companions to crawl out of the lake one by one and gather.
"Woo woo woo wow wow wow wow. "One of them, a guy with a very big head, a very round one, wielded a hammer and jumped on his feet and roared.
The guards, who were originally looking in the wrong direction, took advantage of the fact that the other party was still assembling and decisively adjusted their formation to face these fishmen.
"Holy, can anyone tell me what he's talking about, whoa, whoa, whoa?" Moon recovered from his nervousness, no way, these fish-people looked, really... Some of them are cold, except for the stone hammers in their hands, they don't even have armor, what threat can this pose to their own guards?
"Your Highness, shall I try to communicate with them?" Sein craned his neck to see the fish-man on the other side.
"Huh, you know a foreign language?" said Moon, who was a little impressed.
"No, when I was in exile, I also dealt with fishmen. Seon proudly thrust his double-edged sword into the ground, took the long shield, and separated the crowd towards the crowd of fish.
The fishmen saw Sein walk in, and there was a hint of a noticeable commotion. "Woo woo woo woo wow wow
"Woo-woo, whoa-whoa!" Sein replied with a light cough in the language of the fish-man.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" the fish-man leader looked puzzled.
"Wow, whoa, whoa!" Sain was stunned for a moment, how did he learn to bark a dog?
"Wow!" The leader of the fishmen looked angry, and with a wave of the stone hammer, a group of fishmen rushed behind him screaming.
Seeing this, Sean quickly picked up his long shield and ran back to Moon's side.
"Looks like the negotiation failed?" Moon asked Sein curiously.
"It seems to be. Sain nodded a little weakly.
"I'm a little curious, how did you communicate with the fish-people in the first place?"
"Ah, wasn't I in exile at that time, I was almost too hungry to stand it, and I happened to see a fish man by a lake and caught a fish, so I went to rob it. Sain frowned slightly, his eyes staring at the sky, trying to remember.
Then, then, the fish-man yelled at me. Naturally, I roared back. β
"And after that?" said Moon, grimacing.
Then a lot of fishmen rushed out of the lake, and they ran after me for a long time, and the crowds were really persevering. β
The confused Seon was kicked up by Moon and kicked a dog to eat.
The fish-men whined and charged at the guards, the heavy shields of the Annihilators in the front row smashed into the dirt, and the spears stabbed into the throats of the fishmen with precision. Occasionally, the water and poison magic released by the fish-men were either intercepted by the magic guide team, or directly shot back by the spellbreaker with a double-edged sword.
The demon hunter occupies the commanding heights of the camp, puts the double blades aside, the arrow rain is pouring like a waterfall, every arrow is inseparable from the eyes of the fishman, no way, the target is too obvious, such big eyes!
Moon wasn't thinking about the battle situation in front of him, he was thinking about something else, he was thinking that if he brought the Warden this time, the round moon blade with splash and scatter effects would be very lethal in the face of such a dense and defenseless charge. It's a pity that I didn't bring it this time.
Although the fish-man is not afraid of death, but in the face of the well-equipped Annihilator defense line, it is always difficult to make meritorious contributions, there is no way, the hammer is still held at a distance of six hammers from the opponent, and the spears are pierced!
Moon didn't know why the other party suddenly attacked him, judging from the combat power of the other side, it was really unbelievable. Just when he was puzzled, in the army of fishmen, the leader shouted: "Woo woo, woo woo, woo, woo β
The hammer in both hands was replaced by two salted fish at some point, with spines and blue light. Pointed at Moon and yelled.
"......," Moon looked around in confusion, "what, he's going to smack me in the face with that salted fish?"
"Heads-up. The sound of the bone dance sounded in my ears.
"Huh?" Moon turned to look at Bone Dance, "Single-handedly, no, it whined so much. β
(nods)"
"Woohoo!" the fish-man roared again.
"Ahem. Bone Dance coughed lightly, "It said, why are you talking so much nonsense, grinding and chirping, after all, you are still not a male elf, you will only hide behind your subordinates, and the guy who has no guts, he will not dare to taste the salted fish of this fish, so he quickly kneels down and surrenders, leaving the food and the female elf to get out quickly." β
Moon looked at Bone Dance, not knowing where the groove was going to come from. Why does the Bone Dance understand the meaning of the Fishman, let's not talk about this, it is likely to be the special ability of the Bone Dance, who is silent! But why does the Fishman whine for a long time, it means heads-up. It's only two whinings, but it's so long?
"Heads-up!" Moon looked up, looking disdainfully at the fish-man who was wielding two salted fish.
"Come, accompany!" said Moon's voice, echoing through the camp.
