Chapter 16: Falling into a Trap
The world is divided into nine points, and the people of the nine countries have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the countries are recognized as prisoners of the ox and good at magic, and they dominate the world with their strength, while the other seven countries have their own spring and autumn, and they come and go just equally.
The soldiers are good at water and fire, and they are good at fighting, and their ferocity is comparable to that of the soldiers of the Janus Country. The Nation of Jairus is fond of slaughtering cities, while the Kiss Soldiers have a more brutal and hard-to-see tradition of eating prisoners of war raw, and whoever eats more will prove their heroism, and some will even be promoted for eating the number of prisoners raw. Growing up in a strange tradition, the Kiss Army believed that only the flesh and blood of prisoners of war could show their merit and bravery.
These brutal and bizarre ideas are disgraced by other kingdoms, but they are enshrined as creed-like by the kingdom of Kissing. But what most people don't know is that the reason why the Kiss Army loves to eat prisoners of war alive is because they don't like fire, and even have a natural fear of fire. Although their capital is called Flames, there is not a single spark to be seen.
So when he saw that the group of soldiers was based on the water, but there was no bonfire at all, combined with the tragic situation of the slaughtered Xiaoyin Village, Jiu Ban had already determined that these people were the Kiss soldiers. The group of soldiers scattered sporadically, but faintly guarded someone in the middle. This makes Jiuhan a little more certain in dealing with these identities.
If I wasn't mistaken, the man in the middle should have been the captain of this group of soldiers.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, he quietly lurked with Qiao He, but he only dared to observe these kissing soldiers from a distance of one mile. There is no way, even if the sharpness of those soldiers is not high, but the person who can be the leader has two brushes anyway.
As the prince of the Negative Nation, of course he knew some things that the soldiers of other countries only knew about their own soldiers, but not for outsiders.
For example, this group of soldiers, although it looks like the scattered seats of the star arch guards are resting, but if you look closely, you will find that the soldiers in the inner ring are only a few zhang away from the soldier sitting in the center, but those few zhang away are the best attack distance, and can perfectly block all the escape routes of the person in the middle.
Among them, there were three people with fierce eyes, as if they wanted to eat the person sitting in the middle.
So the person in the middle definitely didn't sleep, and even deliberately pretended to be energetic, and would go into the forest to hunt a prey under the gaze of the people around him, and come back to show his abundant combat effectiveness.
The army is good at eating raw prisoners, and prefers the power of the venerable. To put it simply, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss, and if he has the ability under the tree, he can replace his boss by killing him, of course, he can't use despicable methods.
Although not put on the table, this rule prevailed in the army, and almost no one stopped it.
So as long as you take the opportunity to kill this soldier who is the leader, and let the other soldiers see his corpse, then those soldiers will help Nine Half to solve themselves.
Without him, just for the name of a chief.
Now that he has found a breakthrough, what he needs to think about now is that if the leader gets out of that encirclement, then he only needs to kill him directly and let all the soldiers see it, but if the leader is motionless, things will be difficult.
After all, the appearance of a team of mantine soldiers here is very suspicious in itself, and the boundary between Jairus and Cantius is separated by a sea, but when I think of the destruction of the Negative Wing State, it is precisely the Kiss that borders the Negative Wing. If the so-called Triple War Alliance wants to open a gap in the process of hegemony over the countries by annexing the negative countries, then all this is not surprising.
The leader of the army in the center of the camp finally moved after a long time. He didn't say much, just got up and walked towards the corner of the pool.
The rest of the camp only watched their leader move around the camp and then towards the corner of the waterhole, making sure he wasn't going anywhere else, before they looked back.
The leader was dressed only in a cloak made of animal skins, half-naked, and the muscles of his thighs and calves were as tight and powerful as rocks, and his eyes could be seen glowing orange even in the dark.
He crouched down at the waterhole, lowered his hand and scooped a few sips of water, then looked up at the few "own" soldiers who were also waiting by the waterhole, and glared at them with a fierce gaze. Not to be outdone, the soldiers glared back, as if defiant.
There will never be cowards in the armies of the Kiss Country, only warriors and outlaws.
The three soldiers, each in their own way, replied to the leader who had provoked him, and then went to the edge of the waterhole and took a few sips of water. It seems that they will do whatever the leader does, in short, not to be outdone.
The leader smiled, as if watching a child play a trick. Then he beckoned to the three men and walked towards a dark forest. When the soldiers saw his movements, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in their eyes, and they stood up and followed.
Now that the challenge has been accepted, the next step is to find a quiet place to kill the three soldiers who have a second heart for him, and then distribute the meat to the soldiers in the camp who have just not eaten enough in the village, which is the leader's plan.
It's just that the three soldiers didn't notice that there was a touch of pale green in the water when they drank the water, and the three of them were now focusing on the leader they wanted to kill, just because the water here was different from theirs, and they didn't pay much attention to it.
In the distance, Jiu Ban obviously noticed the difference in the water, he smiled and said to Qiao He: "Wait and see, those three soldiers are probably going to be robbed." I'll go over and take a look, you stay here and don't move, be obedient!" forcibly held down Qiao He's body that was about to follow, and Jiu Ban quietly got up and lurked towards the black forest.
He also brought a set of bows and arrows.
"You three are really not afraid of death. ”
In the dark forest, the three soldiers who followed watched their leader turn around slowly, but a white flame danced in his eyes, which could not be said to be demonic or weird.
Faced with the growing power of the leader, the three mantive-kissed soldiers spoke almost simultaneously: "Kill you, we will be the leader." What, are you scared?" spoke almost at the same time, and closed at the same time, the three brothers kissed the same caliber, which seems to be some kind of tacit understanding that has been cultivated since they went to the battlefield.
Hearing the words of the three brothers, the leader of the kiss smiled: "Yes, who will kill me in the end, and who will be the leader?"
"What's the use of thinking so much? Anyway, today you or the three of us can only survive on one side, it's useless to talk more, let's fight!" There was no superfluous nonsense, and the three Kiss soldiers immediately put on a fighting posture, facing the leader standing opposite them with a look of vigilance.
"Since all three of you think so, come on. The leader looked at them lightly and assumed a defensive posture. The three soldiers glanced at each other, and they all shouted and rushed towards the leader.
The leader was not afraid to retreat, his feet were wrong, the elbow of his left arm was smooth, and the fist thrown by the man on the far left directly unloaded his force, and the muscles of his left arm tightened and punched straight to the face of the man in the middle.
The man on the right deliberately took half a step and waited for the leader's action to end, his eyes were full of treachery, he was also the thinnest of the three, but he was also the most ambitious. Brothers, the heart is not necessarily the same. However, how could the battles experienced as a leader and the combat experience they had have been able to experience by these soldiers who were bent on being on top?
The leader deliberately showed his left side of his body towards the third man while holding back the two men, and when he saw that the opportunity had come, his men were not ambiguous, and a scream tried to disturb the leader's mind, and then he handed the short stick out of his hand and struck it at the leader's shoulder blades.
The two on the left and center were knocked together by the leader. Although the collision between the two big men is not something that ordinary people can bear, even if it is used on the bodies of two soldiers, the damage is not small. Even unconsciously, the two men bumped their heads together impartially, not knowing if they were really stupid or if the leader did it on purpose.
But when they saw the third man throwing the stick at the leader, the two of them looked at each other: it was successful, and this time it must have succeeded!
Yes, although the kisser is strong, his reaction speed is not fast, and even if he can see it, his strong body is always half a beat slower than his consciousness, so when he saw that the leader didn't have time to turn around, the two of them were even more excited than the third person. They even yelled nervously.
The leader chuckled faintly, his knees bent, and his head down. Turn your head directly at the person on your right. Although he only used his own key points against the other party, his actions made the third person unhappy. Slow reaction speed is their common problem, and since they can use this idea to subdue the leader, then the leader can naturally use this method to suppress them in turn.
The short stick flew past his scalp, and at the same time that the pupils of the third person dilated from shock, the head of the leader in front of him also rapidly expanded, and then a sharp pain came from his chest.
Then, he flew straight upside down. The leader flicked his feet at the third person as he bent his knees, so the time it took him was quite short, so short that the man didn't have time to react. The other two didn't dare to take it lightly when they saw the leader's movements, and they rushed towards the leader with one step.
But when the leader's feet settled, he glanced at the other two with his eyes lightly, and said, "Now I know that it is too late to seek stability." After saying this, without waiting for the other party to react, the leader directly dodged and turned into a black shadow and appeared in front of them, and the two fists of "Dong Dong" directly knocked the two to the ground. Although they knew nothing was good when they saw the black shadow, they only had time to cross their hands in front of them, but they were still knocked to the ground by the sudden attack of the hammer.
The thump of their hands on their chests made them cough, and the two soldiers had never imagined that their leader would be so powerful. The gap that I once thought was so small that it was almost negligible turned out to be a moat.
If it was one-on-one, I am afraid that the leader would have killed himself with just his strength and without skill, right? The soldiers were afraid for a while.
"Hmph, do you think I'm really afraid to do anything to you as I usually do?" The Kiss Leader stood there looking at his three fallen soldiers on the ground, with a grim expression of disdain. "There are not a few leaders in the army who die of arrogance, and a truly strong leader will only stimulate stronger soldiers to attack him, and let himself get a stronger breakthrough in the battle to the death. But I am different from them, I need to be stable, and I must use a chance to completely overturn the perception of soldiers like you, and this opportunity is only once. The leader looked at them coldly, his face expressionless, as hard and cold as ice under the severe cold of Sanjiu.
"Originally, I thought that there would be a lot of people who were not convinced, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was the three of you who became the first birds, and they were able to endure the immobile place. It's not like you don't know, right? There's no way they're not seeing the commotion here, but they just want to see how much strength I have to face them after I clean up the three of you. At this point, the leader smiled faintly.
"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. ”
Those people are veterans, all of them have suffered at my hands, and only you newcomers would provoke me so desperately, thinking that you can attack me without being on the land of the Kiss Country?
"But I'm also a man who cherishes talent, and if the three of you choose to submit to me, then I'll give you a chance to live, but if you dare to say a word, you can taste fresh flesh and blood again. After saying this, a trace of morbid fanaticism clearly flashed in the leader's eyes.
After a fierce inner struggle, the expressions on the faces of the three people who fell to the ground finally relaxed, as if they had finally given up. They looked at the leader and said with a wary expression, "We are willing to submit to you, but you must keep us safe. ”
The leader clapped his hands, "I like so." Since it's all right, will you go back?" said the chief, revealing his back to them. Looking at the unguarded backs, the eyes of the three of them were hot, but then they suppressed the throbbing in their eyes and silently followed.
They couldn't believe that such a powerful leader would have no back.
But just as they were on their feet, an arrow grazed the ear of one of them and shot at the leader in front of them, who cried out and covered his ear with his hand. The chieftain, however, leaned to one side as if he had eyes on his back, and then grabbed the arrow with his bare hands. Then he glanced around with those cold eyes.
The three soldiers who saw this scene felt a chill in their hearts: sure enough, the leader's strength was far beyond the surface.
The soldier who had bruised his ears kept kneeling on the ground and screamed in pain, and the noisy leader was so distraught that he plunged the stopped arrow into his eye socket. The arrow pierced his eye socket and passed directly through his head, and then the man died directly, because the brother next to him, who was still against the leader, directly covered his mouth and slashed off his head with a dagger.
The leader glanced at the murderous soldier, and the latter smiled lightly: "If it is poisonous, the meat will not taste good." "It was the emaciated soldier with a stick. The leader looked at him in surprise, and said nothing, but instructed them to spread out and take a closer look at the surroundings.
Naturally, the arrow was shot out by Nine and a Half, although I don't know why they fought inexplicably, but when they saw that the leader exposed his back and was defenseless, Nine and a Half, who felt that the opportunity was rare, immediately opened his bow and shot the arrow. But what he didn't expect was that the leader responded when he heard an exclamation, and the damned soldier actually blocked the trajectory of the arrow, making all the calculations deviate.
But when they saw that they had killed the soldier again, Nine and a Half were puzzled again. But instead of firing a second arrow, he quickly shuttled through the woods and ran back.
Because the three people seemed to have sensed some clues and touched them.
Just as Nine and a Half was leaning over and trot in an open field, suddenly the surrounding grass flipped over, and a large net directly wrapped him up, and then quickly pulled up. Nine and a half were completely hoisted, and the exclamation that was hoisted also attracted a frog soldier who had been waiting nearby for a long time.
"I said how could the leader let us let a few of us play around tonight, it turns out that there are big guys. The soldier stepped forward and patted the nine and a half halfs, with a smug expression: "I didn't expect it to be a big living person with fine skin and tender meat, it looks like I will be blessed tonight." ”
Nine and a half stared at the soldier, serious in addition to hatred is more fear, fear of death. He lowered his voice and said, "Who is your leader, and why would he know that I would pass through here?"
Apparently, Nine and a Half mistakenly thought that the leader had already known his identity.
"Who is the leader of Hahaha? Of course, the leader is the famous Chen of my Kiss Country...... Hey, can you take care of a dying person?" didn't allow Nine Halves to refute, and the Kiss Soldier knocked Nine-Half's knock out with a single stick, and then carried it directly on his shoulders and walked towards the camp of their Kiss Army.
And all of these were seen in the eyes of Qiao He, who had followed him from afar along the way, without revealing them at all.
