Chapter 272: Twenty Years of Darkness
In desperation, Wang Xu's originally planned honeymoon trip completely turned into an armed march, and the entire team was almost exactly 5,000 people.
At the forefront were Rebecca and her rangers, who kept scurrying through the forest like scouts.
Walking in the back were the members of the Baker family under the leadership of Berg Baker, and the 600 heavy cavalry guarding them, because the armor on the cavalry was too heavy, so the sound of horses' hooves when they advanced drowned out the insects and birds that had been shuttling through the dense forest.
Sandwiched between the two teams were Wang Xu, Nilou, Zana, Afra, and Baker, father and son, surrounded by Arnold and his eleven mercenaries.
At this moment, whether it was Arnold or the mercenaries under him, they all looked excited, because Aheng Baker, who was very good at being a person, gave them a unicorn for each person, which made this mercenary group, which was originally only infantry, directly go up a level and become a cavalry mercenary group, and its combat effectiveness has directly increased several times.
Of course, Wang Xu and Nilou's two daughters also rode unicorns, and the unicorns under their seats were also given by Yaheng Baker, and even Yaheng Baker gave his own mount to Wang Xu.
Originally, Wang Xu didn't want to accept Yaheng Baker's gift, the reason was not that Wang Xu didn't look down on Yaheng Baker's unicorn, you know, this unicorn, in terms of size, is obviously more than two circles larger than the average unicorn, and it is already a unicorn at the level of the king of beasts.
However, in order not to hurt Yaheng Baker's face, Wang Xu still rode the unicorn, but the more he rode it, the more awkward he felt, and he always thought in his heart: There will be no parasites on this unicorn, what if it climbs on me in a while, maybe there is more than one parasite that climbs on me, maybe there is more than one parasite that climbs on me, maybe it may be a group.
Seeing Wang Xu frowning sometimes and pouting at times, Yaheng Baker cautiously asked, "What's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?"
"No," Wang Xushu raised his eyebrows, smiled at Yaheng Baker, and asked in a low voice, "How is my father lately, is he still so greedy?"
"If you are asking how His Royal Highness was twenty years ago and His Royal Highness is today, then I can only say that His Royal Highness has become more greedy, whether it is the desire for power or the thirst for wealth, he is the most greedy king in history. Yaheng Baker sighed, shook his head slightly and sighed.
"It seems that you don't like to see my deranged father very much!" Wang Xu laughed.
"Hey, you also know, His Royal Highness is not the kind of dumb king who doesn't understand anything, he is very smart, so smart that he looks down on anyone else, and can't listen to anyone else's opinions, that's why he will be arbitrary and get the elven kingdom to this point. Yaheng Baker said something that worried about the country and the people, and at this moment, he seemed to forget that he was the first traitor in the legendary elf kingdom, and he was traitorous to the point of common anger of people and gods.
However, Wang Xu understands that the reason why Yaheng Baker behaved so treacherously was that he had to do so in order to survive, and many of the immoral things done by the Elf King were counted on Yaheng Baker, and he was also regarded as the queen of the Elf King, and he was willing to carry the black cauldron, so the Elf King would reuse him.
It can be seen from this that Yaheng Baker did not rely on his unique sycophancy skills to rise to the top, his real unique skill is to bear the infamy for the master and carry the black pot, so his superiority is also natural, just ask, which leader doesn't like this kind of subordinate.
"To be honest, I admire you. Wang Xu looked up, and through the gap between the canopies, he saw that the twilight sky had begun to appear with a little shining stars.
Hearing what Wang Xu said, Yaheng Baker thought that Wang Xu was sarcastic about himself, so he didn't answer, pursed his mouth and shook his head as if he was ashamed.
"I'm serious," Wang Xu raised his hand and patted Yaheng Baker on the shoulder, and praised, "I have reflected on myself, and I have asked myself, if I were you, under the hands of such a disgusting elven king, can I achieve the same status as you, my reason answered me, I can't do it, so it can be seen that you are much stronger than me." ”
"This ......" Listening to Wang Xu's praise, in an instant, Yaheng Baker's heart suddenly had a happy feeling of meeting his bosom friend, his lips began to tremble, and he didn't say a word for a long time, his eyes were red, and the corners of his eyes flashed like stars.
"Actually, since I was exiled, although I haven't paid serious attention to the dynamics of the elf clan, but I also happened to hear a lot of disgusting things happening in the elf clan, I know very well that those things were done by the elf king, and then, using you to carry the black cauldron, and later, with your back, you have become the first traitor, it's really difficult for you!" Wang Xu raised his hand again and patted Yaheng Baker's back, looked at him with a look of regret, and shook his head helplessly.
"His Royal Highness Prince Io, you are really my bosom friend...... Yaheng Baker, who was completely moved by Wang Xu, opened his heart and told all the grievances he had had against the Elf King for a long time, and even told him a lot of disgusting things that the Elf King had sent him to do.
"Hmph!" After listening to what Ahyan Baker said, Nilou snorted coldly and looked at Wang Xu with an angry face, "I said it all, you are suitable to be the king of elves, your rotten father, you are only worthy of being a slave!"
At the same time, after listening to Ahyan Baker's complaints, Afra shook her head lightly, she didn't expect that the elf king she had always admired turned out to be a ferocious person, or a villain with a black belly, almost all the bad things were done by the elf king, and he was simply the biggest sinner of the elven race to destruction.
"Why don't you answer, do you want to watch the elves continue to degenerate, just to be a famous elf king, do you find it difficult?" Nilou tried to use the agitation method to lure the king into submission, but unfortunately, her use of the agitation method was nondescript, and it was simply chaotic.
After listening to Nilou's words, Wang Xu wanted to laugh, but the atmosphere at this time was not suitable for laughing, so after his facial features were distorted for a while, Wang Xu finally endured it and did not laugh.
"Hey," after holding back a smile, Wang Xu acted like he was preoccupied, and replied to Nilou: "I'm not suitable to be the elf king, don't you know, I'm more greedy than the elf king, and if it is insidious and cunning, I should be even more serious than him, do you think it's the good luck of the elf clan that I became the elf king?"
"Yes," just as Nilou was about to open her mouth to deny Wang Xu's theory, Afra, who had been in a trance for a while, woke up and suddenly interjected: "You are different from the Elven King, I have observed you for twenty years, and I have found that you are indeed insidious and cunning, but that is your attitude towards the enemy, you are not like this to your subjects, you are a merciful person, you have not killed a subject who betrayed you and bullied you, you are a good person!"
"I'll go ......" Wang Xu was stunned in embarrassment, not knowing how to respond to her, after all, what she said was too far from what happened in reality, after grinning, Wang Xu didn't bother to explain, did he want to tell her that he calculated the degree of his subordinates, no worse than the elf king.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Wang Xu's mind, he turned his head to look at Yaheng Baker, frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that the Elf King thinks you know too much, so he wants to kill you, so you come to join me?"
"That's right," Yaheng Baker sighed, he originally wanted to talk to Wang Xu about this matter alone, but he didn't expect that Wang Xu guessed what he wanted to say, so he shook his head slightly and sighed: "I was sent by the king to do something sorry for His Royal Highness the Prince, and later, the elf king wanted to seal my mouth, so he sent a shadow to kill me, and it was thanks to the sudden appearance of the Great Law Saint of Afra to save me, otherwise, I would have shut up forever." ”
"Shadow," Wang Xu narrowed his eyes, "I only met him half an hour ago. ”
"What?" Aheng Baker almost fell off the back of the unicorn under his seat in shock, "Where have you seen the Shadow ......" (to be continued.) )
