A few wandering fiery snakes are wrapped around the "Red Earth Mountain", and the snake letter at the front of it is constantly swallowing and spitting, bringing all suspicious tracks and traces back to its nerve center, and always waiting for the next instruction of the brain.

Under the pressure of battle, the leader of the general had no choice but to abandon his inseparable war horse, and at this moment, together with the soldiers, he climbed the hideous blood-red earth with difficulty. The color of the soil beneath his feet was brighter under the reflection of the firelight, but in the general's opinion, this place seemed to be a constant reminder of the bloody and bumpy road ahead.

General Klein Nicholas paused and counted the number of torches up the hill a little, much less than when he came. He looked back at the army beside him, and many of the familiar and young faces in it were gone. He didn't know if he would ever see these dear subordinates again at some point in the future—maybe in a different form.

"Andrew, you guy. Although most of the subordinates who followed him this time had quite a consciousness, none of the mages who accompanied him were spared, like a dagger, fiercely stuck in his heart. The skeletons of different shapes and shapes scattered all over the mountains and fields were like white waves constantly lapping against the soldiers' defensive lines, and under the tacit cooperation and command of Barkin and Lide, those tireless battle puppets brutally wiped out their own living forces.

After paying such losses, General Klein's resentment towards Emperor Arcturus Monsk deepened.

Even so, the ending is still regrettable.

"Just because I'm loyal to the Empire, are you going to bury your innocent subjects, Arcturus?" Klein gritted his teeth, the helmet was gone, and the Imperial emblem symbolized by the general was also split in half by the combined efforts of Balkin and the black-armored undead in a death match, leaving the left half hanging there alone, crumbling.

However, the most important thing in the king's order was not to destroy the Balkins, but to bring back the fellow named Kabore.

As for the way to bring it back, according to the words of His Majesty Actulos: "To live to see a man, to die to see a corpse." ”

Because of this, after the battle, Klein was still able to retain a considerable number of troops in the joint siege of several powerful men in the empire, which is enough to prove that General Klein lives up to his name.

He looked up at the dark night sky, starless and moonless, dead silent.

All that could be heard was the howl of the wolves.

Soon, General Klein brought back information from the front as a trusted scout: "General, a large number of demon wolves have been found in the depths of the jungle, but these wolves have not bothered our march for the time being. "Not relying too much on mages, this is the characteristic of Klein's use of troops, but it is precisely because of this that his troops can still retain a fairly efficient command rhythm even in such a difficult situation.

The general waved his hand and asked the scout in front of him to bring his order: "All the troops are on alert, but don't stop, keep the current speed." ”

In addition, the scouts who were scattered out were divided into groups of three, and the groups kept their distance from each other. These brutes are always bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and when there are many of us, they don't dare to act rashly. ”

"But could it be Andrew, the old fox, again?" General Klein muttered to himself, the people who came out of the ivory tower were full of bad water. The dead have been pulled up to extract surplus value, not to mention that the old immortal thing is still alive.

In the general's field of vision, many torches lit up the darkness around him, but the uneasiness in his heart still existed, and the lingering haze was like a broader unknown darkness. General Klein felt like he was being watched, and all around, there were only scarlet spots of light in the depths of the jungle.

......

"Lieutenant Enhleko, why are you here?" asked Kabore, jumping off a branch as he stood in front of the lieutenant.

"It was General Barkin and Archmage Andrew's order. Lieutenant Nhleko did not lose his courtesy, and he went on to tell the story briefly. Although Kabore didn't understand why this was so, and what came out of the mouths of these two former sheriffs hit someone's inner memory again, but with Zhuge not long ago, Kabore's short-term seizure was finally alleviated a lot.

"Wait. Zhuge stepped forward and dispersed the black mist in front of him with the help of Shuang, and the black-haired boy exposed himself to everyone's view.

For Enleko and Fred, the young master and the other man beside him were in the dark, and they really couldn't tell each other apart for a while.

The demon wolves have left, and the task of the guide has been handed over to Kabore and Maiden Shuang, and the lieutenants are wary of the guy named Zhuge Clan.

Because mages don't always have the ability to earn people's trust easily—although, for the most part, people are always swayed by the magic of sorcery. As for the double, as long as the girl is good-looking, how can there be these restrictions?

The black-haired boy pulled Kabore behind him, his body glowing with a strange faint light, and in his hand he held a blue star array that was activating. Zhuge looked at the surprised faces of the two and said further, "Why should we believe you?"

And the other party seemed to be prepared, Lieutenant Enleko took out an object from his chest, he handed it to Kabore, but turned his head to Zhuge and said: "General Balkin once explained, as long as you give this to the young master, he will naturally understand after reading it." ”

It is a scroll made of parchment paper that has a strong smell of fermented mud and wheat. When he heard Uncle Barkin's name, the boy couldn't hold back his trembling, and he took a deep breath before continuing his movements.

Kabore untied the cowhide rope that had been tied to his head and slowly spread the paper along the swirling trails. He was so cautious that he rubbed his hands on the corners of his clothes from time to time to wipe away the sweat that oozed from them.

On the top of the parchment, there is not much text, but a simple combination of words and symbols, but the contents of it have long been remembered by Kabore.

Kabore handed the parchment into Zhuge 's hand, and the black-haired boy took the paper and looked at it seriously with the girl—it was a recipe for making muddy wheat soju, and the end was twisted and twisted, far from his own image. The blue-haired boy smiled wryly, and he said, "The ratio of raw materials is the same as the amount of materials stolen from the warehouse. ”

Then he sighed helplessly: "As a 'thief', is it necessary to be so careful about the 'stolen goods' when he is holding the sheep?"

"Imperial troops are around. The girl suddenly interrupted the discussion of the people in front of her, and she continued, "They have noticed my voters. ”

"I'm not familiar with the terrain here, do you have any suggestions?" the brunette boy asked, looking at Kabore and Twins.

The girl shook her head, and she explained, "I haven't left the Grey Feather Forest, and I don't know much about what is going on outside. ”

And Kabore knew it firsthand and said, "I don't know." ”

However, Lieutenant Enleko stepped forward, and seeing that he was about to speak, the black-haired boy nodded at the other party.

The lieutenant said: "The border between Fuante County and the Northland, in fact, after crossing this mountain, I left the territory of the Holy Misra Empire, which is the territory of worshipping the Lord God Banne, although there has been friction between the other party and the Empire for many years, but the Imperial army does not dare to send troops there easily. Just ......"

"Just what?" Zhuge asked.

"As long as we enter there without permission, we will be convicted of treason by the Empire. Second Lieutenant Fred continued.

"I thought it was a big deal, treason?" the brunette boy shook his head and exclaimed incredulously, "What's the difference between the situation you're in and treason?"

"The Empire has not been announced!" argued the second lieutenant unconvinced.

"Okay, then you stay. Time waits for no one, and Zhuge has no interest in wasting time with this rough line, he continued, "Since you choose to follow that general Balkin, then in fact it is equivalent to treason, you all know this truth, so, don't waste time." After all, there is hope only when people are alive!"

After receiving information about the route from the former sheriff, the black-haired boy had an idea.

"Double, prepare for the 'Aurora Technique'. Zhuge said.

"What? Isn't this to reveal our location?" Lieutenant Enleko and Ensign Fred were shocked, and the girl looked at Zhuge with puzzled faces, but only Kabore's face was calm, wondering if he was still immersed in the parchment.

The black-haired boy sighed, his expression was firm, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "If you don't want to die, do it, and follow up if you want to listen to the explanation! At least until I find that person, I will definitely not die here!"

The girl no longer hesitated, and threw the spell she had prepared into the air.

The eye-catching white aurora violently released its light energy in the sky above the "Red Earth Mountain", although it could not shine on the earth as dazzlingly as the sun, but it gave the five people enough vision to move quickly.

This aurora was reflected in front of General Klein Nicholas at the same time, and the vision that appeared was like a life-saving straw for him. Then, under the aurora aurora aurora, a sea of fire burned in the jungle and began to spread around with the help of the gentle wind.

"Hmph, it's just stalling. General Klein looked at the fire and continued to think, "The Northland is their only place to go, as long as you catch them before they do, everything will be in vain!"

He shouted to the scouts and conveyed the order: "The main force of the whole army is divided into two routes, and the lightly armed troops break through the sea of fire, and once they find the target, they will immediately attack, drag them down, and live or die." ”

"The rest of the forces followed me and flanked me from the other way. Klein's words paused abruptly, and he added, "Watch out for the opponent's functional spell traps, and be distracted as you move." ”

The general's soldiers were well-trained and executed quickly and without compromise on Klein's orders.

In the move, the girl walked with Zhuge , and from time to time she fed back the information from the voter's field of vision to the black-haired boy, but the boy smiled and said, "Sure enough." ”

In the girl's puzzled eyes, Zhuge blessed the two of them with spells and explained: "Kabore was originally trained as a hunter for survival, and the jungle is his home field. And those two soldiers are also high-class veterans in terms of physical fitness, and with the help of the Aurora Technique, their overall movement speed is enough to guarantee. ”

"What's more, behind the sea of fire, that large range of sluggish spells is still waiting for those soldiers who are hurriedly chasing. ”

The double rhetoric asked, "Then wouldn't it be the same if we walked the same way together?"

"It's not the same. The black-haired boy continued, "If the opponent tries his best to rush in one direction, then the effect of the spell will be affected by the number of opponents, and if the trap is not effective enough to hold everyone down, our people will be exposed to the threat of stray arrows, you know, the effect of the aurora spell is the same for both sides." ”

"Right now, we can't afford to lose anything. So, in the other direction, someone has to grab the attention of the other person. ”

There was a sound of metal colliding in the distance behind the black-haired boy and the others, Zhuge shrugged his shoulders, he used all his strength to throw the two blue star arrays at the girl and himself, his face was full of paleness, but he still insisted on a natural expression, and said: "The distance between the two troops is far enough, it's time to catch up with those muscular men." ”

The lightness of the effect enriches the senses in the body, and under the guidance of the magical knowledge reserve in his brain, Zhuge quickly mastered the skill of flying, and with the help of Qingfeng, he once again increased the speed of his progress.

Below, the scenery of the "Red Earth Mountain" quickly receded, and not far ahead, three figures hid in the shadows, but they could not hide from the birds flying in the air.

Whether it's the Empire or the Northlands, the moon at night is the most tranquil sight.
