Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

It has been a month since he became a prisoner of war, and at first he was still in a dream, and he didn't believe that the glorious military exploits in his fantasy had become prisoner shackles. Accepting reality like swallowing a dead fly, his brain was filled with shame and anger, he was not a great soldier, but he was also a famous general under the Duke of Essing-Carlton, who had guarded the southern border for many years, and fought with the "Eagle War King", one of the four marshals of Chongying Kumara, even if he was captured, he should have fought vigorously, showing his talent and courage to be surrounded by tens of thousands of enemies, and then face the enemy with his chest high...... And not an inexplicable defeat.

If you can't be a hero or a laughing stock, Lord Kui scolded and tried to snatch the weapon, wanting to take a sword heroically, so as not to disgrace the family. At least in Pilsen, Quinn, who will not spread the "useless" and "careless", may be lucky enough to give him the title of martyr.

In the face of the excitement of the important captives, the Tias did not fulfill his wish, nor did they torture him to extract confessions, but only tied up and starved for two days, and immediately stopped making trouble. It wasn't hunger that defeated Quinn, it was just the blood that subsided. The army belongs to the family, the honor of Essin, only the life is his own, and he really can't put himself in it for the sake of false fame. He also has three energetic sons waiting to inherit the family property, and a dozen ** and his daughter are going to fight, even if he scatters the family wealth with a bad name, and dredges the joints for the imperial meeting, it is a big deal to go back to the countryside to be a manor owner, and he is not the one who is arrested anyway......

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was wronged, and the more I was wronged, the more I lost my backbone, so Lord Kui began to be a competent prisoner. Two and a half thousand men were divided into four or five groups and held in unknown locations in the forest. Along the way, he also had the idea of atonement for his crimes, and carefully observed the enemy's situation. The main combat personnel of the elves are very recognizable, although the body is not majestic, but the muscles with obvious lines can be seen, passing through the forest quietly, killing people without mercy, the most obvious is that when looking at the captives, the eyes are angry.

He had heard the rumors of the killers in the woods, and he used to think that the fools were spreading the rumors, but now he had seen them, these Tia rangers walked on the ground among the branches that were difficult to walk, their long and short bows and a small number of compound bows were extremely exquisitely worked, and they took into account both strength and beauty, and they were not at all the mountain and forest savages rumored by Pilsen, and Quinn felt that he had been pitted.

The location where the five hundred men were held was neither a dungeon nor a wooden cage, but a lush glade. The elves herded the captives into the clearing, then scattered several layers of seeds in the outer circle before leaving.

Quinn and the knights looked at each other, but there was no guard?

A soldier boldly walked a few steps out, and no one cared. His master urged him to go on, and cautiously walked to the place where the elf had just sown the seed, and suddenly several flower buds sprang out from the soles of his feet, and the flower buds opened at a degree visible to the naked eye, and then let out a heart-rending scream!

The soldiers were horrified and crawled back, and the captives made a circle as if the flower were eating people. The flower, which was less than a palm high, screamed for tens of seconds, pierced to the extreme, and then withered. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and then pushed the soldier just now to move forward again, and the soldier walked a few steps in fear, and the flowers that grew now did not scream any danger, and they ran wildly.

"Whew!"

The feathered arrow pierced the Achilles tendon of his left foot, and the soldier fell into the flowers, mingling with the screams of the plants. But he foolishly did not go back, but struggled to crawl out, and then was nailed through the throat by an arrow.

The human captives now know, it's not that they are unguarded, they can't see it. Jailers who don't know where to hide are more difficult to deal with than those who can be seen, they don't accept bribes or clichés, and the only language they can answer is arrows. The first sentence shoots through the foot, the second sentence kills, and the third never needs to be the third.

During this time, he was deeply tormented, he had already asked the others, and he knew that the other party had defeated his troops with a strange hypnotic surname Huaxiang, but he didn't understand how to do it. The panicked captives discussed it vigorously, some saying that the elves worshipped the evil god, and some saying that it was a conspiracy of the Crimson Federation. Quinn couldn't talk to them, and his mind was full of the ridicule of the Pilsen magnates about him afterwards, and he could think of the gang calling him "General Sleepy" or some more insulting nickname.

"It's been a month, and the main force has been fighting elves. ”

"Definitely, I just don't know how it went. If they win, they'll come to our rescue......"

"Come on, thank the gods for not trampling us under our feet. The great lords of Plzeň will surely despise us for being defeated by the mountain savages. ”

"You know that elves are not savages! Look at their armies, and their plants, and the gods, what kind of evil monsters are these. ”

"Calm down friends, of course I know that the elves are very powerful, but the people of Pilsen don't know, it would be good if the main force was also defeated, so that they wouldn't just laugh at us......"

Quinn's brows jumped, he was angry that someone had said such a selfish thing, and he was even more angry that he had a small approval in his heart. Just as he was about to stand up and drink, suddenly a young man under the age of 2o stood up and said, "Guys, I have a way to escape from here!"

Everyone was shocked to see who was going to despise him. This young man's name is Aglaia, the heir to a manor in the west of Essien, the guy who shouted at the pre-war meeting that Essien is invincible, these days he is still unwilling, every day a family private soldier is forced to go to the meadow, half of them are dead and half of them are disabled, both nobles and soldiers treat him as mentally retarded.

Aglaia said with a smug face: "I have experimented, there are three groups of rangers guarding nearby every day, and in recent days it has been reduced to one batch, it should be that Tiya is short of troops on the front line of the rebels." The guards were actually some distance away from us, and they would only come when they heard the sound, and now it was the time to be unattended. He shook the ropes made of dozens of clothes, pointed to a dead tree outside the meadow, and said, "As long as I crawl over with the rope, I will be able to escape the spirit of the screaming flower and escape east into the forest to report to our army." ”

After saying that, he enjoyed the shocked expressions of the crowd, and the captives changed their attitudes and complimented: "It turns out that you have this plan to let people cross the meadow every day, it is really too smart...... Everyone rushed to climb the tree with ropes first, completely leaving behind the dozens of soldiers who died for it, and scrambling for the rope made of clothes taken from the dead man's body.

Quinn didn't speak, and the captives who had nowhere to go these days threw the responsibility of falling into the current situation on his head, and his prestige was greatly reduced.

Aglaia shouted, "I have learned professional climbing and rappelling, and you who are not afraid of falling to death can come with me." As soon as he shouted, everyone stopped talking. Young people have never been so beautiful in their lives, and they have been collectively watched by so many powerful people. As for the private soldiers who died under his command, they died when they died, and to recruit them was to be loyal to the lord, and those who did not listen to him were guilty and deserved death.

He threw the end of the rope out and hung it on the dry branches, and climbed over it step by step, keeping an eye out for possible rangers. Frightened and jumping onto the black trunk, he wondered how there could be a stalagmite-like dead wood in the woodland, but it didn't matter. The captives in the distance saw that Aglaya had successfully left the captivity, and excitedly shouted at him who I am, who is the person of the family, remember to inform the family to ransom me.

Agleia was so proud that she stood like a hero on a tree and answered the supplicants one by one, but she didn't remember a single name, just enjoying the admiration of the crowd. Only the bearded Lord Quint suddenly shouted, "Jump down!"

The young nobleman didn't react, he saw the captives below suddenly silence, and their faces were blank. The stalagmite-like dead wood opened its dim yellow eyes, revealing a swirling mouth of sharp teeth, and three or four brown-black vines tied him up like lightning, wrapped it tightly in a circle, and then squeezed out the blood like a rag, and the internal organs and broken bones shattered from everywhere.

"Ahh

The deadwood-like monster ate all over the ground, then closed its eyes and restored itself.

After the deathly silence, most of the captives lost control of their emotions, crying and yelling, or fighting. Quinn hid in the distance with a pale face, hating himself for being so **, running to fight without guarding a good level, how could the pointy-eared elf be so cruel and terrifying.

Two hours later, the body was almost consumed, and the elf who delivered the meal came. The captives had two meals a day, mainly multigrain bread and nuts, and swallowed with a small spring of water in the clearing, and they would never have enough to eat until they starved to death.

The leader of the woman, Ran, who was dressed in a religious garb in the shape of leaves and flowers, and who was holding a thin wooden staff, looked weak. But her status is clearly not low, and the rebellious ranger will salute respectfully every time he sees these robe elves.

The elf looked at the minced meat scattered all over the ground, and said to the captives in a common language, "Don't let the rope demon eat too much. The words of the non-threatening surname led to great fear, and there was a cry. )
