Chapter 204: Waiting
readx;
There is a spectacular scene on the plains of Chris, countless shirtless warriors running on the field, and from time to time there are exhausted people who fall to the ground exhausted, but after a rest, they will get up again and continue their journey, accompanied by countless wolves, the endurance of the wolves is obviously much stronger than these warriors, even the goshawks in the sky cannot compare with them.

However, there was a flock of eagles to guide before, and the direction of the tribal warriors was also very clear, but now it is different, even the goshawks soaring in the sky are too tired to continue flying, they have lost the exact location of Theo, and can only determine which direction it is roughly, Ben and Igna's dusty figures are mixed among the samurai, they are not wind warriors, they have great power but they are useless, running for five days and five nights in a row, it has reached the limit for the two of them, the key is that the person who attacked the guardian, is he made of ironOr is his source power endless? He has never stopped from the beginning to the present.
At this moment, the development of things has gotten out of control, although nominally the two of them are the commanders of the tribal alliance, but the Guardian Clan has always been the spiritual pillar of each tribe, especially the Twin Clothes, as the leader of the Guardian Clan, in the minds of all the tribes, it is comparable to a god-like existence.
It is precisely because of this that after learning the news of the assassination of the twin clothes, these tribal warriors will go crazy to chase the murderer, at this time, whether it is Ben or Igna, their orders have no effect, which is a common shame for all tribes.
The long-dormant plain of Chris suddenly became lively, and the tribal warriors were eager to scrape the ground to find the damn guy, but unfortunately, even if the resting eagles went out again, they could not find Dio's figure, as if the world had evaporated, and disappeared without a trace.
The period from the time the eagles gave up tracking Dio to go back to rest and recuperate, to the time they went out again, was only half a day, but in this short period of time, it was enough for Dio to do a lot of things.
Dio only rested for a few minutes, and then began the long journey again, but before that, he carefully swept away the traces he had left behind, and changed direction, no longer blindly running forward, the reason for this was very simple, even the eagles could not survive and were forced to fly back, not to mention those tribal warriors and wolves, at least in terms of speed they could not compare with the goshawks. All Dio had to do was get out of the range of the eagles before they could strike again.
Fortunately, Dio did, and in the early morning of the sixth day, Dio's body was finally overwhelmed and fell headlong on the grass, and Dio almost never stopped releasing the grace of the wind in the past few days. Running so far, there is not much source power left, this is the first time that Dio has encountered such an embarrassing situation since stepping out of the manor, even the pursuit of Mir, Dio is not so tired.
However, Dio's efforts were not in vain, from the return of the eagles to the present, Dio has run more than five hundred miles, and he first ran to the north, and at night it was changed to a straight east, and then to the southeast, that is to say, Dio went around a large half circle, if the speed of the tribal warriors was fast enough, then Dio was already behind them at this moment.
The human mind always has a habitual surname, and Dio took advantage of this, for the first five days he fled straight north, until the eagles above him dispersed, and then suddenly changed direction, although Dio did not know whether he was right or wrong to do this, but he knew that if he still ran straight as before, he would fall into the field of vision of the eagles again, because he needed to rest.
If Ben still has absolute command at this moment, maybe Dio will not get out so easily, from the perspective of a commander, naturally he will not put all his chips in the same direction.
But the problem is that the eyes of the tribal warriors are red, and there is only one thought in everyone's hearts, that is, to catch up with Dio and kill him! The last message sent back by the eagles is that Dio is fleeing north, and Dio has indeed been doing this for the past five days, so there is no need for anyone to order them, these tribal warriors spontaneously chased north, except for those who were physically exhausted and would rest in place for a while, the others, including the wolves, all rushed to the north with perseverance.
"I have a hunch...... Probably won't be able to catch up with that guy. Ben paused and muttered that the fact that the eagles had not returned the message for a long time was already very telling.
"So what?" Igna smiled bitterly, "Let's think about how to deal with those old guys when we go back, no matter what, I and you are the most responsible." ”
Ben smiled coldly and didn't say anything, if it wasn't for the internal problems of the Guardian Clan, how could Twin Clothes come here in person, since that incident, Twin Clothes' reputation among the Guardian Clan has plummeted. Of course, if the twin clothes succeeded in advancing the Glacier Bear King, it would be a different result, after all, in terms of strength alone, no one could match him.
While the tribal warriors were searching for Theo, the mines were already beginning to divide the fruits of victory.
In this battle, the greatest credit was not given to the Academy of Santis headed by Sigrena, nor to the Marquis of Sain, but to the little-known Dio, a name that most people had not even heard of before this incident.
Everyone can't deny that it was this young man who saved the situation of inevitable defeat and saved everyone's lives, but whether it is regret or sadness, this Dio, after all, it is impossible to come back alive, even if it is replaced by Sigrena or Marquis of Sain, it is difficult to survive under the pursuit of countless tribal armies, not to mention that Dio is just a radiant warrior, and the moment his source power is exhausted, it is when he dies.
However, everyone deliberately did not mention this, but only negotiated the ownership of the star fragments, whether it was the Santis Academy or the Marquis of Sain, with so many manpower and material resources, of course, it was impossible to return empty-handed.
But in the eyes of Sophia and others, this kind of negotiation has changed its taste, Dio's life and death are still uncertain, and you are here to share the fruits of victory, isn't it too chilling?
Sigrina kindly invited Sophia and Baron Donn to participate in the negotiations, but Sophia directly refused, no matter how many star fragments can be exchanged for Dio's safety? If she could, Sophia would rather not have this mining area from the beginning, so that there would be no more disputes, and Dio would not be in a dangerous situation.
Lindsay and Isabel have always been by Sophia's side, with their intelligence, they naturally thought of why the timing of Dio's appearance would be so coincidental, if it weren't for their greed, then maybe Dio wouldn't have appeared, although as long as the guardian didn't die, Sigrena would be very dangerous, but all this should not be borne by a young man who is not powerful, what Wuzun can't do, why ask a radiant warrior to do it?
For the Santis Academy, Dio's sacrifice was certainly worth it, and they did not hesitate to compensate Sophia enough. But from Sophia's point of view, I'm afraid that all the people in the world together are not as important as Dio.
Every day when she got up, Sophia would always come to the gate of the manor, sit quietly on the round bench, and look into the distance, as if Dio did not come back for a day, she would keep waiting like this, even Baron Don came to comfort Sophia, but in vain like others.
However, Sophia did not lose her mind, at least she let Gordon and Raymond watch Laura closely at the first time, otherwise this little girl would have run out to find Dio, God knows what will happen to her if she falls into the hands of the tribal warriors.
Upon hearing the news that Sophia was about to become a 'Lookout Stone', Sigrena and Marquis Sain felt a sense of apology in their hearts at the same time, although since they had sat down at the negotiating table, they were no longer pure warriors, because they represented more than just themselves.
Although Marquis Sain holds the power of life and death in the marquisate, he must plan for his subordinates, otherwise, who will be willing to die for him in the future?
But they are flesh and blood people after all, strictly speaking, their lives were saved by Dio, and after that, they attracted all the tribal warriors away, with this premise, they can sit here safely and discuss the ownership of the mining area.
Everyone is a smart person, how to control their greed, is a skill, people who have reached this height, it is impossible to let their desires run rampant, with consensus, the negotiation process becomes smooth, and in the end the Marquisate of Santis and Sain each accounted for forty and a half, and Baron Donn accounted for one. Of course, the one that was given to Baron Donne, anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on, and it was impossible to give so much to Baron Don just by ventilating the news, which was actually a disguised compensation for Dio's sacrifice.
Time passed, the atmosphere in the manor became more and more uneasy, if Dio could get out of danger, he should have come back at his speed, why did more than ten days pass, and there was still no news at all?
After waiting for a long time, Sophia gradually became thinner, but no one could convince her, Isabel saw it in her eyes and hurt in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.
On this day, seeing Sophia running to the door and sitting down, Isabel couldn't help frowning, what should I do to make Sophia happier?
