【Chapter 28】The Neutral Scorpion
After leaving Silver Spirit City, the poisonous scorpion went straight to Prado. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although he is young, he has done many tasks for Bazel brilliantly. Orphaned since childhood, he carried a dagger and lived on the streets, in a remote city, as the lowest level of civilians, he could only do some dirty things in the streets to survive, and compete with the most shameless bandits for profit.
This gave him a deep understanding of the world since he was a child, even if he lived in the mire every day, he still practiced the dagger in his hand all the time, which made him famous in all directions when he was young, and later was appreciated by Bazel, and his reputation spread to the point that everyone in the mercenaries knew and everyone knew about it. Every time he fought, the dagger that flew out could kill the enemy accurately and lethally, which is why he was called a poisonous scorpion.
Although he is called a poisonous scorpion, his heart is not vicious, at most he can only look at things rationally and objectively. At this time, the war was in full swing, and in the face of the enemy's indulgence and the betrayal of the allies, he didn't know what to do......
As he passed through the southern mountains and was about to reach the location of Bazel's army, he suddenly felt a figure flicker in the jungle around him. At this time, the poisonous scorpion did not panic, but was still walking forward silently, with its head bowed deeply, gloomy cheeks, and the corners of its mouth slightly upturned. The fallen leaves blown by the wind seemed to be afraid of his calmness, and quietly passed by him.
"Stop!" Hearing a woman's snort, the scorpion slowly raised its head, only to see Kelly fighting in front of her, behind her stood seven or eight mercenaries with bows and arrows, the sharp arrows had already been placed on the bowstring, as long as Kelly gave an order, these bows and arrows could shoot through the scorpion's chest at any time.
Seeing this, the poisonous scorpion smiled slightly and spread out his hands, "Miss Kelly, I didn't expect me to get such a warm welcome." At this time, Kelly saw the face of the poisonous scorpion clearly, she raised her hand, and the mercenaries on both sides slowly lowered their bows and arrows, but the sharp arrows on the bowstring were not unloaded.
Kelly frowned, and glanced meaningfully at the poisonous scorpion not far in front of her, "Poisonous scorpion, has Silver Spirit City been captured?" He didn't answer but shook his head and smiled bitterly, which immediately made Kelly confused, she swayed gracefully and slowly walked towards him, "What's going on?"
Kelly stepped closer and put her arms around his shoulders without hesitation, just like brothers and sisters who usually get along day and night. The scorpion sighed, "It's good that I can come out alive, the enchanting has betrayed us......" The scorpion told Kelly what happened, and also told his conjecture about the Eastern Theater.
Looking at the scorpion's lost appearance, Kelly's pretty face also showed a sad expression, "I just received a report that the eastern battlefield has been wiped out, and the sandstorm has also been defeated and killed......" "It's similar to what I guessed, now Lord Bazell shouldn't know the situation in the Silver Spirit City war zone." ”
At this time, Kelly suddenly thought of something, one hand was still around the scorpion's shoulder, and she made a cute appearance, looking from a distance, as if two close companions, "Lord Bazel thinks that the enchantment will hold back the enemy's power, and we can attack Prado on the spot, since things have come to this point, let's hurry up and tell him......" Kelly said and was about to hold the scorpion and walk forward.
But he didn't expect the poisonous scorpion to stop, he stared sideways at Kelly's white jade-like face, and showed a hint of an indescribable smile, "Miss Kelly, when did you follow Master Bazel?" Hearing this, Kelly also laughed, and her sweet smile made her look like a cute little princess.
"What's wrong? Scorpion, I'm already before you anyway. "Why haven't we met before?" Kelly fell silent as the scorpion asked, and for a brief moment, the wind was silent and the air condensed, as if everything around her was instantly frozen up, including the time that slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, the scorpion grabbed Kelly's arm with one hand, and the other hand quickly stretched out to the dagger at his waist. Fortunately, the scorpion reacted quickly and pulled out the dagger, blocking it in the face, so that it did not suffer her fatal blow.
"Hehe, it looks like our enemy has penetrated our interior......" Before the scorpion could finish speaking, Kelly broke free of his arm. Suddenly, the scorpion pushed her away, and at the same time the dagger in his hand threw it at her. Kelly, on the other hand, rolled over, dodged the flying dagger, and slashed with her backhand with a short knife again.
Seeing this, the scorpion instinctively rolled backwards to avoid the attack, when Kelly held a short knife, chased and slashed at the same time, only to see the scorpion supporting the ground with one hand, squatting on the ground, revealing a bad smile, quickly threw a small round bag in his hand on the ground, with a burst of explosion, in an instant, white mist rose around, permeating the surroundings.
At this time, the mercenaries armed with bows and arrows quickly rushed forward when they saw this, and when Kelly chased the mercenaries to the poisonous scorpion through the white mist, she found that he had already fled into the jungle. Looking at the back of the poisonous scorpion, Kelly gritted her teeth, at this time her lovely face showed a trace of fierceness that could not be concealed, she quickly waved her hand, and the mercenaries beside her suddenly shot arrows at the poisonous scorpion that fled into the jungle, and bursts of arrow rain crackled in the jungle......
After a while, seeing the figure of the poisonous scorpion gradually disappearing into the dense jungle, Kelly rushed in with the mercenaries. The surrounding messy arrows, some inserted in the ground, some nailed deep into the trees, suddenly a bright red bloodstain, imprinted on the ground, one by one bright red footprints gradually stretched to a big tree in the distance, seeing this, the corners of Kelly's mouth showed a fierce smile......
Meanwhile, in the hall of the castle in Prado, Cedric and Faense stood at the foot of the steps, while Eddie stood on the top of the steps in a black ornate robe, looking down on the two men in front of him. I saw Cedric learning from Aidi, holding his hands in front of his chest, and looking at Aidi angrily, "If Izzy is surrounded by a lot at this time, what he needs most is our rescue." ”
"What are you going to do to the rescue, these hundreds of Dawn Crusaders, and what will happen to Prado if you go?" said Eddi, but Cedric said unconcernedly, "Do you want to wait until Izzy is destroyed, and wait until the enemy army besieges you?
"Anyway, Cedric, I'll tell you! I'm still the Arcane Advisor of the Dawn Crusade, and you must listen to me for all of this!" "Joke! Why should we listen to you, I'm not going to let our boss and queen be wiped out because of a word from the Arcane. Aidi, I also want to advise you not to seduce Izzy because you have a bit of a posture. Even if Izzy is destroyed, we won't follow your orders!"
"What are you talking about!" At this time, Eddie was completely enraged by Cedric's words at the bottom of the stairs, her fair face was flushed with anger, "I haven't tempted anyone!" she shouted angrily, and Cedric laughed, "Yes? It's better not to, now the battle is changing rapidly, if we indulge Izzy to be destroyed, then Prado will eventually fall, and if we do our best to support the battlefield, maybe the tide of the war will be turned around." ”
"Cedric, don't deceive people too much, I won't let you go on an easy expedition before we know what the battle situation is, even if Izzy is here, he won't agree to it. Seeing Eddie and Cedric arguing, Faennes laughed a little embarrassedly, "Since we don't know the situation of the battle, we should send some people to investigate." ”
"Do you think I didn't do this, I've sent out three groups of people since the morning, but there hasn't been any response until now......" Before Eddie could finish speaking, Cedric interrupted her angrily, "It's a time of war, and we must be blocked by the enemy around us, there is no doubt about it, even if we send everyone out, we won't get any information, so I still insist, we will take the initiative." ”
"No, the Prado has always been our fortress, and once it falls, we won't even have a home. "Did you just let Izzy be wiped out?I told you that the homeland could be reorganized, and when the people died, there was nothing!" Seeing Cedric's chattering appearance, Edi didn't want to engage in a pointless argument, she sighed softly and lowered her head, "Izzy will have a way, we just need to be on standby......
Hearing Aidi's words, Cedric was a little reluctant, "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful, but your heart is so cold, Faense said you, I still don't believe it......" Before he could finish speaking, Faense on the side hurriedly rushed over and covered Cedric's mouth with one hand, "When did I say it, it's all your own words." ”
Looking at the two people in front of him, Aidi's heart was not a taste, he was repeatedly misunderstood by people, and he endured it, but he didn't expect such a hard journey, and finally suffered from the misunderstanding of the people around him. She sighed, folded her arms on her chest, and her white and slender hands gently held up her low head, and her beautiful and moving face was full of anxiety and sadness.
"If you don't go, then I'll go myself!" Cedric said, pushing Farnes away, turning around and about to walk towards the door, when he heard the sound of the love flute behind him, "You dare!" As her shout fell, she saw the two heavy doors of the castle hall slam shut, which really startled everyone. The two soldiers standing guard outside the door cautiously came to the door and looked at the door closed in disbelief.
"Do you think this simple magic will stop me?" Cedric said, and was about to run towards the gate, but before he could take two steps, Eddie's eyes rose sharply, and he quickly waved his arms, and a cold light, whistling, swept past Cedric's side, and hit the ground with a bang, and suddenly a blue-white wave of air exploded, and a thick layer of frost condensed on the ground.
Cedric didn't have time to stop, and ran onto the frost, and suddenly the soles of his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground on his back. He wanted to roll over and stand up on the ground, but the frozen ground was so slippery that before he could stand firmly, he fell to the ground again. Looking at his appearance, Farnston frowned, "Cedric, don't make a fuss......."
"Isn't this a magic!" Cedric cursed, standing up, balancing his body, but he didn't dare to act lightly, and now he spread his hands flat and his feet apart, and placed a large letter on the frosty ground.
"I'll see if you can get out of this room today!" Eddie glared at Cedric, who blushed and slowly pulled out the double knives at his waist and slammed them on the ground, "Then you can take a look." Cedric said, swinging his twin knives vigorously and making a skiing motion, and walked cautiously towards the gate.
Looking at his ridiculous appearance, Aidi sighed helplessly, "Cedric, aren't you afraid of magic?" "Joke, what's so scary about magic, I think I would too." Hearing Cedric's voice, Farnston was puzzled, and he turned to look at Cedric, "Will you too?"
"Yes, isn't it just your broken secret book, what kind of punishment sword, I studied it for two days, and in the end I found that it was just a trick to scare children. When Faense heard this, he understood what he was saying, "Oh, the Blade of Punishment, but I don't see that you learned, because you learned that, you threw the wooden sword into the sky, and you fell and stabbed you, and I remember you lay down for two days......
"It turns out that the magic is useless!" Cedric said as he struggled to the door, "It's not that it's useless, it's that you haven't learned it." "Then how can I learn it?" "The wooden sword can't absorb magic, you have to replace it with a real long sword......" ", if it were real, I'd still be lying in bed ......".
Cedric struggled to carry his knives, and finally came to the door, he gasped, put his hands on the heavy door, and looked at the love flute on the steps in the distance with a smug expression, "How is it? I will say that magic is nothing but a thing to scare children, you see, didn't I still come out? I finally asked you a word, do you want to follow me, I hope you will prove ...... with your actions."
Before Cedric could finish speaking, there was a sudden bang, and the door was slammed open by a huge force, and since the door was open to the inside, Cedric, who was standing in the doorway, bore the brunt and was knocked aside. Eddie and Farnes showed surprised expressions at the same time, not worried about the person who walked in, but worried about Cedric who was knocked into a corner.
I saw Afra and Gaudian walking in quickly with more than a dozen Dawn Crusaders, and at this time, Faense on the side hurriedly stretched out his hand and gestured, signaling them to stop, but Afra and Gaudian didn't understand what was going on, and walked forward suspiciously, and as soon as they stepped on the frost on the ground, they immediately rushed forward and fell into a piece. As soon as Afra's armor touched the ice, she immediately slashed out, and the moment she lost her balance, she slipped and fell in front.
Fortunately, Afra looked back to see that Gaudian had fallen to the ground crushed under several heavily armed Dawn Crusaders. Seeing this, Aidi frowned in embarrassment, waved his hand out of thin air, and the frost gradually disappeared on the ground. Only then did Afra and the others stand up and straighten their armor.
"Afra, what's wrong?" Eddie asked solemnly, thinking that Afra was also determined to go on the expedition. At this time, Afra shook her head, and her neat ponytail fluttered from side to side with her swaying, "Now there are a lot of mercenaries gathered outside the city, and they have surrounded us......"
As soon as Afra's words fell, everyone was shocked, "How many are there?" "They lurked in the wheat fields, and there seemed to be no more than a thousand people, and they were all dressed differently, not like some regular army. Afra was reporting when Cedric in the corner stood up with his knives in his hand, shaking his arm and feeling a pain all over his body, as if he had been beaten.
"Look, what did I say, if we had attacked the other day, Izzy would not have been defeated, and Prado would not have been surrounded. Cedric said loudly, Afra and Gaudian and others only noticed his presence at this time, and before anyone else could speak, Faense first raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Don't be ashamed, Cedric, you had to pull me to drink yesterday, where did you persuade us to attack." ”
Cedric's face turned red when he said it, but he still angrily replied, "I was warning you of the danger!" "Reminder? I remember you told me yesterday that there was a girl who was beautiful and powerful, or something. As soon as Faennes's words fell, Gaudian on the side suddenly thought of something, and then said, "Ah, I remember, Lord Cedric said that the girl was about the same age as him, and she had a great kung fu, and she almost killed him, what is it called, by the way, her name is Kelly!"
"When did he tell you?" "Yesterday at noon, Mistress Cedric had to get me some drink. "Oh, that's right, he looked for me at night. After Faense and Gaudian finished speaking, they all turned their heads to look at Cedric, and then Afra looked at Cedric angrily, "This is what you did in a day when the war happened?"
Looking at everyone's eyes, confused, questioning, and even more angry, Cedric blinked his eyes and coughed twice, "What a mess, I'm going to kill it now!" Cedric said, lifting his twin knives and rushing towards the door. Aidi's eyes were quick, and he quickly swung out a cold light again.
The light exploded at Cedric's feet, and it also froze a layer of frost, but fortunately Cedric was clever this time, and he hurriedly held on to the wall so that he did not fall down, but then he could not move, but only shook his body and spun in place.
When everyone turned their eyes to Aidi, she lowered her head and folded her hands naturally in front of her chest, "No matter what the war is, at least there is a battle ...... in front of us now."
