Chapter 35: The Skeleton and the Earthen House
"Why are you so boring? It's not good to be serious all the time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Levi said this with a look of duplicity.
In fact, he didn't plan to tell the other party the truth in the first place, he just wanted to fish for the other party's appetite. didn't expect this one to take the bait directly, which made him a little frustrated.
But what made Levi feel even more tired was Angus's next sentence.
"Also, my lord, I always feel like you didn't intend to make it clear in the first place. The knight glanced back at Levi.
"What are you talking about?" Levi was a little embarrassed when he was told about it, of course, he pretended to be calm on the surface, "Why do you say that, do you think Duke Ben is deliberately playing tricks on you?"
"Because you're not one who doesn't know what to do. Like when you become a dragon knight, isn't it just done quietly before it is made public? Until then, you didn't even hide it from me. Even the people I asked me to find were the kind of stuffy gourds. Angus replied solemnly, "From this point of view, I feel that you have a good sense of secrecy. As for juggling, don't you do much of this kind of thing?"
"Angus, there's a sentence I don't know if I should say or not?"
"In front of me, you have always had the ability to speak freely. ā
"Then I'll leave it at that. Li Wei stared at this confidant with a fierce look on his face, "As a subordinate, you must know how to pretend to be confused and save some face for your boss." ā
"What is the boss, what is the subordinate?" Angus was a little dazed, "It's the same as the stuffy gourd, and it's the imperial capital dialect in your mouth?"
Hearing this, Levi was completely speechless. He was defeated. But not by the other party, but by himself. With the fusion of memories, some of him will speak in such a "half-white" manner. When speaking Roland, I can't help but add a few Chinese words, and sometimes even a sentence or two of English can pop up. It saddened him - every time, he had to make up a bunch of nonsense to cover up the past.
I was about to explain in detail, when the team in front of me suddenly made a commotion.
The reason was that someone saw two eagle horses flying rapidly in the sky. As soon as they flew over this side, they descended rapidly, and soon the silhouette of a hippogriff's body appeared.
"Alert!"
Angus saw the Hippogriff coming, and at the sound of an order, the team in front of him conjured up a defensive posture - the crossbowman unfolded the metal box, and then pointed the conjured magic crossbow at the sky. One by one, the shield gunners raised spears more than five meters long, forming a spectacular forest of spears.
The confrontation ends with the figure-eight dance of two eagle horses.
"It turned out to be fast-legged them. Angus looked up at the sky, and after knowing this, he gave another command, "Light the torches and signal them to descend." ā
"Yes, Knight. As soon as these words rang out, a crossbowman who was also a herald immediately lit the torch in his hand.
Seeing that there was a little bit of fire in the team below, the two El who were hovering at a height of forty or fifty meters pulled the reins lightly and let the Hippogriff under their crotch land.
It's just that, as usual, they landed at the front of the line, and it seemed that they were still afraid of the dragonborn behemoths behind the palace.
"Lord Lord, Lord Knight, there seems to be some movement over there. With that, Al drove the Hippogriff forward, and the team in front of him automatically made way for him, "There seems to be someone in the lizard's stockade. ā
"Oh, have you found out?" asked Angus, surprised.
"Nope. For some reason, the stockade became inaccessible. Al had already walked in front of them, in the shadow of his burning body, "As soon as we got closer, a stone bullet came at us. It seems that overnight, they have something like a stone thrower. ā
"Have you tried it yourself?"
"With their help in Quito, I tried twice and failed each time. For some reason, the stone bullets were so accurate and scary that even though we were diving very fast, we were almost hit by them. As Al spoke, his face palpitated.
"Other than that, are there no other anomalies?" Angus said with a serious look on his face.
"There seems to be something different, but it's just a little thing. "I talked to them in Quito, and they told them about the extra skeletons on the hedge wall outside the village. And this kind of skeleton with wing bones on its back is something they have never seen before. Also, there were a few more earthen houses in the camp this morning, which also suddenly appeared overnight. ā
"Winged skeletons, huge earthen houses?" Angus groaned, and asked again, "what else?"
"It should be gone. ā
"What do you mean it's gone?" Angus gave another order, "Al, please go again." This time, let Quito come back with you. ā
"Yes, Knight. With that, Al returned to his original path and took off directly with the other Hippogriff.
Staring at their distant background, Angus looked at the team in front of him, "Everyone slows down a bit, because there may be something unusual next." ā
"You don't need to be so troublesome, right?" Levi, who was standing high on the dragon's head, was hung for a long time, and then finally spoke, "The people who came here can compare with me?
"It seems that you have forgotten about the city walls. Angus retorted, "The sneak attack team in Winter Dragon City can all have a scorpion wizard who can summon gods. With such a tribe of lizardmen, why can't there be some anomalies. I remember you said to me earlier that the phrase was 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', and it was a good metaphor for the Imperial dialect. My lord, this camp may also be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ā
"That being said, we can't be so unlucky every time. Seeing Angus so lively, Levi was a little speechless, "You can't delay this march because of some trivial things, I'm still waiting to go back in the evening to eat roast whole sheep?"
"In war, there are no small things. Your lord, you have heard the story of a horse nail. Angus said solemnly, "If you lose a horse spike, you will break a shoe, if you break a shoe, you will break a horse, if you break a horse, you will lose a knight, if you lose a battle, if you lose an empire." I hope you remember the lessons you learned before, and this time you can't be like that. ā
"Yes, yes, yes, what you said, Duke Ben adopted it. After being reminded by him, Levi immediately remembered the scene on the city wall, and couldn't help but shudder.
He had no intention of abandoning this bloody lesson.
Levi was not the kind of person who couldn't listen to others, he always changed when he knew what he was doing, and believed that knowing how to learn a lesson was one of his many good qualities.
