054, whose wait is this
Depending on the situation, the Plateau Giant Tribe has besieged Princess Xiaoqian in this valley, and they are guarding the mountain beams on both sides of the valley entrance, and there should be heavy guards at the entrance of the valley. The guards on the high mountains on both sides were not very tight, and Amon and Medanzo easily touched them, and the two began to analyze the situation here in a whisper.
Amon said a little strangely, "I found seven or eight giant archers on the mountain beam near the valley mouth, but they are all asleep, can they trap Princess Akane like this?"
Medanzo frowned and said: "It's not strange, people always have to rest, there must be people on the side of the valley who take turns to sentry, once they find out that Princess Xiaoqian wants to break through, they will send a signal, blow a whistle or a horn or something, and the guards will naturally wake up." ”
Amon nodded: "Well, that's how it should be." It's not surprising that we can touch here, after all, there are dense forest cliffs on all sides, but Princess Xiaoqian is in the middle of the open valley, and they will be discovered if there is any movement, and they can't act rashly. ”
Medanzo looked at the faint light of the bonfire in the valley and said, "Since you are familiar with the terrain and the distribution of guards, when the clouds in the sky cover the light of the stars and the moon and the night is dark, you can actually sneak over and inform them, and let Princess Xiaoqian quietly leave the way we came." ”
Amon frowned: "That may not be safe, sneaking in the dark may also be discovered by detecting magic, but the open land below the mountain is unobstructed, how do you know that there is no magician among the guards of the giant tribe? I think that Yusil is a magician today." ”
Medanzo also frowned and said, "Divine magician, he is also a magician, right? Can the magicians in the giant tribe compare to you? Your divine skills should be able to stealth and hide their aura." ...... I was thinking just now, it would be a miracle to knock out all the giant guards on this side of the mountain, and sneak over and take the princess here and take it away!"
Amon asked rhetorically, "Is there a way to go where we came?"
Medanzo sighed and said, "Yes, there is no road at all, it is a large jungle, mountain wall, and cliff, and the noble princess cannot trek." I wondered if I could carry the princess out, but it was too risky, and if the wild men pursued from behind, they wouldn't have escaped quickly. ”
Amon asked, "It may be possible to carry only one person on his back, but can he still calmly fight to protect the princess in case of an accident? Can you take all the princess's guards from here? If not, how can they hand over the princess to one person to carry away? If that would work, the defender who broke through would have carried the princess out of the mountain long ago." ”
Mei Danzuo smiled wryly: "I just want to think about it, and I am eager to make meritorious contributions." ”
Amon pointed to the center of the valley and said, "Our advantage is to find out the distribution of the giant guards on this side of the ridge, and I hope that Jiekai and they can also find out the situation over there, and it will be much easier to do it in case they want to do it." Don't forget the plan we agreed upon, stay still until noon tomorrow and then see how things go, if you don't follow the plan, others will not be able to cope with it. ”
Medanzo nodded, "You're right, my god Amun, all at your command. ...... It's just that we can find a way to send a signal to Princess Xiaoqian and them? Notify them that rescue is coming, and then we will know better. ”
Amon thought for a moment and said, "That's okay, Princess Xiaoqian, they should be able to receive my signal." As he spoke, he raised his iron staff and pointed to the center of the valley silently, using all his magical power but confined in one direction, and even Medanzo, who was close at hand, did not sense it.
Although Amon is only a fifth-level magician and cannot cultivate high-level divine arts, the divine skills he has mastered and are good at are at the peak of his skills, not to mention the magical staff to help. Although he didn't know what level Yin Nanna was a magician, he knew that she was proficient in information magic and was quite clever. When she left with Gilgamesh, she had disappeared into the distance, but she could still hear the voice in her ears, and even Amon didn't have the ability to do it.
The light of the campfire in the middle of the valley was far away, and Amon had stretched his detection magic to the limit to roughly figure out what was going on. The guards around Princess Akane set up a makeshift camp and built a wall nearly two people high with large rocks and tree trunks, which could resist crossbow arrows from all directions. There was a bonfire and samurai guarding the wall, and a tent was set up on one side, and Amon couldn't detect the situation in the tent, the distance was too far, and it seemed that there was a magical power shielding the prying eyes.
...... In the tent behind the camp wall, a man and a woman were talking, and along the corner of the tent, a divine stone was placed to form a magic array, isolating the sound from inside and outside.
The person seated was Princess Xiaoqian, and standing opposite her was a man under thirty years old. This person should be handsome, but it looks a little uncomfortable. It may not be appropriate to describe a man as "demonic", but this person's skin is too fair and too delicate, his lips are very ruddy, his eyes are thin and long, and he always has a bit of a bewitching feeling.
As he spoke, the man suddenly raised his head and looked in one direction, as if he had discovered something. Princess Xiaoqian asked, "Pei Li, what's the situation?"
Pei Li narrowed his eyes and said, "Someone is sending us a signal with the Information Divine Technique, and the distance is very far, on the ridge over there. ”
Princess Xiaoqian was taken aback: "Who and what kind of signal?"
Pei Li: "I don't know who it is, it's impossible to sense it so far away." The other party was very careful, and was able to restrain the power of the divine magic directly in this direction without disturbing the surroundings. This power is not hostile, it is to inform us that he is coming. ”
Princess Xiaoqian frowned and said, "Is it rescue? Could it be a mistake?"
Pei Li bowed and said, "My noble princess, don't you believe Pei Li?"
Princess Xiaoqian smiled again, her expression indescribably coquettish: "My dear magician, how can I not believe you? You have successfully advanced to a seventh-level great magician not long ago, but only I know. Why don't you make this public? Once the news is made public, your status will be very different. ”
Pei Li also smiled: "Being able to serve you, Princess, is far more desirable than the achievements of a great magician, and you know my ambition very well." Hiding your strength by your side for the time being may be more beneficial to our schemes, after all, a great magician is too eye-catching. There are many great magicians in the royal capital, but there is only one princess like you. ”
Princess Xiaoqian stroked the back of the chair with her hand and said, "Pei Li, you are a smart person, if I can fulfill my wish in the future, your future in the kingdom is also limitless." ...... What was the situation just now, a magician sneaked here to rescue us, who do you think it would be?"
Pei Li's eyes narrowed even more: "In the Barron Divine Art Academy, the person with the most hope of successfully advancing to a seventh-level Great Divine Magician at the moment is Jie Kai. He is Prince Feng New's divine enlightenment teacher, and the two are also close friends, this time it was he who followed His Royal Highness Feng New through the town of Akkad, and the person who sent the signal should be him!"
Princess Xiaoqian nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are really clever, send Klauz to break through and deliver the letter, and Prince Feng Nu really came with Jie Kai and sneaked into this place bypassing the guard of the giant warrior." ...... You see, when will they be tempted to do it? When we send our guards into the battlefield and induce them to attack by mistake, will we be able to subdue them completely?"
Pei Li stroked the back of his hand and said, "Prince Feng New is really a passionate person, he cares about his young and beautiful aunt. ...... Please rest assured, I know the situation of the five of them, and if I really want to do it, I will definitely be able to subdue them, not to mention those simple-minded plateau giants who cause trouble for them. ...... Soon there will be rumors in the royal capital that Prince Feng New took advantage of the princess's trip to bribe the Plateau Giant Tribe with a lot of money to try to assassinate you, and he got involved in it himself. ...... And you, noble princess, must show magnanimity, explain for him, and make everyone appreciate and admire you. ”
Princess Xiaoqian said with a smile: "I will forgive him for his crimes, even if they are crimes that he has not committed." Although the youngest of all the princes, Vonniu was the most threatening, wiser and more popular than his older brothers. After this incident, I think his commendable name will be questioned. ...... Jackai has already sent a signal, we don't have to respond, just wait for those plateau giants to do something with them. ”
Pei Li's smile was a little mysterious: "Those rough giants are simple-minded but very trustworthy, they won't let us go if things are not delivered, and His Highness Feng Nu came down so quickly...... According to Your Royal Highness the Princess, when will the materials required by the Giant Tribe be delivered here?"
Princess Xiaoqian replied confidently: "At least ten days, if you just ask for money, it will be easy to do, but the giant tribe wants such a huge amount of daily necessities, and it is impossible for a small Akkadian town to prepare and send them all within three days." ...... Report to the city-state to organize materials, and then send guards to escort them on fast horses, how can it take ten days. ”
Peili: "Yusir is an interesting plateau giant, he has already organized the tribes, and they can take their things and leave at any time, enough for them to build a new home in a faraway fertile land. ...... You really had the foresight to give Yusir the status of nobility and allow him to learn divine arts, but the noble fief that you gave him was in the territory of the Hati Kingdom! ”
Princess Xiaoqian put away her smile and said indifferently: "It is only the nominal territory of the Hatti Kingdom now, and it will soon become a place of four wars for various countries. The highland giants who can fight well arrived in advance to establish their homeland stronghold, and they accepted my guidance, and Yusir promised to lead his people to build a temple for Malduk, I think the gods will be grateful, and the kingdom should be even more grateful! With such a chess piece, in the upcoming conflicts between countries, the Kingdom of Barron will take the initiative, and I will also become an important decision-maker, this is only the first step of the plan. ”
If Amon in the distance could hear this conversation, I don't know how shocked he would be? But the confident princess Xiaoqian and the great magician Pei Li also misjudged two things: first, the person who gave the signal was not Jakai but Amon, and second, the materials demanded by the giant tribe were prepared by Mayor Diqi in only one night and half a day, and it took another day to deliver!
...... Amon put away his staff and stood there for a long time as if waiting quietly for something, and Medanzo asked puzzledly, "God Amon, what are you doing?"
Amon replied, "I just sent a signal to them using the information magic to inform them that help has arrived, but I haven't received a reply. ”
Medanzo was surprised: "I'm also a magician, and I didn't even notice it!"
Amon showed a childlike smile: "You are still a little tender, this hand magic is very difficult, although it is not a high-level magic skill, but the means are very clever, I also have to rely on the staff to do it." ”
Medanzo admired and praised: "You are indeed clever, and in my eyes you are always magical." But can they reply to you, even if there is a magician over there, I am afraid that they may not be better than you. ”
Amon frowned and said, "Princess Xiaoqian has a sixth-level magician by her side, even if his information magic is not as good as mine, he can still receive signals." I know Princess Xiaoqian herself, she also knows magic, I don't know anything else, but the information magic is definitely better than me. Maybe I don't know who we are, I don't have the ability to speak directly in their ears. They didn't respond, probably for fear of revealing our location, so let's change places. ”
Amon and Medanzo came to lurk closer to the mouth of the valley, not far from the archers of the giant tribe. If they really want to do it tomorrow at noon, they can eliminate those archers first, cutting off the biggest threat in the breakout. I hope that Jie Kai and the others will also do the same thing on the opposite peak, and attack left and right to occupy the valley mouth, so that they can cover Princess Xiaoqian and successfully escape.
...... While Amon was lurking quietly in the mountains, the inventory of supplies on the plateau was still continuing, and the heads of those powerful giants were sweating. They can carry a wagon on their shoulders, but they are not very good at counting and sorting supplies, but fortunately there is Yusil on the side to check the command, otherwise I don't know what the chaos would be.
Mayor Diqi chatted with him, and took the opportunity to take advantage of Yusir's words, he was very curious about this person, and asked with a very concerned look: "Yusir, are you also a plateau giant? I don't think you look very similar, but they all listen to you." ”
Yusir looked a little embarrassed, and replied angrily: "Why do you ask me this question? I am really a tribesman here, just a short man! I have been laughed at since I was a child, so I simply slipped down the mountain by myself and learned the magic before returning to the clan. Then his tone changed, and he said with pride: "Now the tribesmen worship me and elect me as the leader of the united tribe, and think that I am the smartest and most capable tribesman!"
Diqi hurriedly said: "I see, disrespectful and disrespectful, admire and admire...... Anyway, you even dare to kidnap the princess of the kingdom, so I'll be offended and ask again, are you a magician?"
Yusir shook his round head and said, "No, you misunderstood, I'm a second-level sorcerer of the Eight Classics! I have received the permission of the temple, and in the main temple of the king of Baron, there is also a record of my acceptance of the power awakening ceremony. ”
This time, it was Diqi's turn to be taken aback, and he opened his mouth for a long time before asking, "Really, you, you are a noble magician, this is incredible!"
Yusir turned his head, stared at his round eyes, and said, "What's incredible, Lord, if you don't believe me, you can go to the main temple of Maldok in Barron City, check their registration files, and see if there is my name?"
Diqi is just the mayor of a small town, how can he have the authority to go to the main temple of the royal capital to check the archives, whether Yusir's words are true or false, he can only be regarded as angry with him. Di Qi replied with a calm face: "What I say is incredible, I mean what you are doing now! Since you are a noble magician, you must have the title of noble lineage, why do you want to kidnap the princess of the kingdom? This is a betrayal! Even if you want to do something for your clan, you can't use this method, are you stupid if they are stupid? It will only bring disaster to these tribes. ”
Yusir straightened his chest and said, "Of course I have a reason, this is actually ...... I can't tell you anyway, it's a secret!" At this point, he seemed to suddenly realize that he had talked too much, and if he continued to talk, he would talk too much, so he stopped talking. No matter what Mayor Tiki did to talk about it, Yusil always talked about other topics, just not to continue to talk about it.
...... When the sky was dark, Jackie and Youledu and a group of five people finally climbed the ridge on the other side of the valley and lurked in the dense forest to rest for a while. There was a slight tiredness in Jay's eyes, and he sat there quietly without speaking. Looking at the other people's appearances is a little embarrassed, and there are small cuts in their clothes made by branches and rocks. Especially Jackie's student Elite, not only did his pants break and his foot was twisted, but he also had a wound on his leg, but fortunately he was treated with magic in time to get fine.
They were all pampered nobles in the royal capital, and it was the first time that they had walked through dangerous mountains and mountains in the dark, far from being able to compare with Amon and Medanzo, who had long been accustomed to doing so, and it was quite admirable that they were willing to endure such hardships.
After resting for a while to regain his strength and strength, Yuledu said to Jie Kai a little strangely: "The guards here are not tight, and there are no giant warriors found nearby. ”
Jie Kai pointed to the surrounding terrain and said: "With such a large range of deep mountains and wild forests, it is impossible for the Giant Tribe to defend every place, there is no other road here, and you can't go out if you are not familiar with the terrain." ...... You guys hide and don't move, I'll go around and investigate, it's almost dawn, everyone must be careful!"
Jackai quietly searched the ridge with his staff, and the situation here was similar to that on the opposite side, on the ridge near the valley mouth, about a dozen archers of the savage tribe were guarded. Jacques didn't dare to get too close, quietly retreated, and discussed with Youledu and the others for a long time, and came to a conclusion similar to Amon and Medanzo.
At this time, it was already dawn, and it was impossible to act rashly, so Jakai made the same decision as Amun, and quietly moved with his group to a position close to Taniguchi, not far from those giant warriors, and quietly waited for noon to come.
