Chapter 11: Turnaround

Lance didn't wake up the White Dragon Princess, Loxani, who was still sleeping. Instead www.biquge.info under the cover of night, he and Veronica quietly rushed to the small mound they had observed. He cautiously stuck his head out and saw two columns lined up in a neat line facing each other in the light of countless torches. Their armor shimmered in the glow of the fire, a black-red glow like a sunset.

Looking at their appearance, it seems that they are performing a handover ceremony. It seems that they have new troops coming up for a change of guard. The new troops don't seem to be of the same race as the orcs, as they are shorter, about the same height as humans. Most of the new troops wore not plate armor, but chain mail.

The chiefs on both sides seemed to be saying something, but it was too far away for Lance to hear clearly. Looking at the two troops in the firelight, Lance's heart was quickly thinking about the current situation. Then they slapped each other on the chests in the heart, as if they were saluting. After that, under a firm command, the Warcraft troops turned and retreated in the opposite direction towards the Menice Pass, and the neat steps like war drums sounded again, shaking the valley. On the other side, the newly recruited troops also began to deploy their defenses according to their previous positions.

"What are they doing?"

Suddenly, the voice of a person who should not have been here at this time sounded in Lance's ears, and he jumped suddenly. Lance quickly covered his mouth and hurriedly crawled down. When I turned my head, it was indeed the White Dragon Princess Loxani.

Lance lowered his voice and said a little angrily, "Why are you here? Why do you follow me everywhere, didn't you sleep?"

Loxani snorted haughtily, "I woke up to see that you were all gone. I'm afraid that you won't be able to control your desires while I'm away, and you'll bully Sister Veronica. So I'm going to come and supervise you. ”

Veronica on the side understood the meaning of the White Dragon Princess Loxani's words, and said with a red face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with Lance." ”

But the nervous Lance didn't understand. He was now thinking about what was going on.

With that, Lance carefully retreated from the small mound with Veronica and Loxani: "They seem to be changing guards. I see that the new arrivals are human-like in height and figure, and they should be the Metu troops. ”

Veronica asked in a low voice, "So what do we do now?"

Lance shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's no way. Although some of the Metatu, who are weaker than the orcs, have been replaced, the deployment is still the same as before, and it is absolutely hopeless to charge head-on. But there's good news. ”

"What good news. Veronica asked hurriedly.

"If the garrison were to be replaced with humans, it would at least increase our chances of escape. After all, the degree of similarity is high, and it is easy to find a breakthrough to confuse the past. We just have to wait for the right moment now. ”

The White Dragon Princess Loxani nodded and said, "That makes sense. Although the Metu people have taken refuge in the demons, they are still human. Taking refuge in no one can change the defects of human beings, greed for money, timidity, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, greed for vanity......"

"Ahem......" Lance coughed, "we two humans are still here." ”

The White Dragon Princess Loxani stuck out her tongue and said, "What I said is the truth, people must be self-aware." You two, no, Sister Veronica is a special case, a good human being. And you're not, you're a big badass!

"Cut, you crazy dragon woman......" Lance was already lazy to argue with the princess of the dragon clan.

Veronica looked at the two of them, and there was nothing she could do. But Veronica cared more about one more thing: "Lance, what kind of time are we waiting?"

Lance tugged at his earlobe and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't know, but lions also have naps, as long as they wait quietly, they can always wait." ”

Looking at Veronica, who was already sleepy and yawning, Lance said, "Veronica, you can sleep for a while." I'll just keep an eye on it, old rules, I'll wake you up if there's a situation. ”

Veronica rubbed her eyes, which were already sleepy, nodded weakly and said, "Okay, I'm a little sleepy, so I'm bothering you." ”

Lance smiled and said, "It's okay, go to sleep." ”

The white dragon princess Loxani also grew a dragon's mouth, showed her sharp fangs and yawned and said, "I didn't wake up either, leaning on Sister Veronica to sleep for a while." It's up to you, nasty. ”

Lance joked and said, "Don't worry, I'll be the first to push you out if there's danger." ”

"You dare!"

So Veronica fell asleep against the mound, and the white dragon princess Roxani fell asleep on Veronica's shoulder. Once again, Lance quietly climbed up the small mound and observed the situation below.

At this time, the sun had been setting for a long time, and the bright moon was slowly climbing up to the sky on crutches. Above the sky, the vast sea of stars, coupled with the majestic coastal mountains, at this time, Lance had to take a leisurely look at the magnificent scenery of this sea of stars. However, when Lance saw this scene, he had a faint sorrow, after all, at this time, for a person like Lance lurking in the dark, didn't such a bright moon deliberately embarrass people like them who want to abscond?

But after a while, a few dark clouds drifted over, obscuring the moon, and the night became darker. Even if there are torches, you can only see them from a distance of 10 meters. Extremely poor vision. This is bad news for the Metu army in the pass.

But for Lance, who wants to lurk, this is the most advantageous situation. Because at this time, it is more difficult for the people of Metatu to spot Lance, and Lance can easily judge the opponent's position by the torch they are holding.

After staring at it for more than an hour, Lance, who was staring at the Metatu team, suddenly noticed that the movement of the opponent's torch was abnormal. It seemed that two torches, like fireflies flying away, were coming towards them. Lance hurriedly woke up Veronica and the White Dragon Princess Roxani.

"Well, what's the matter, Lance?" asked Veronica, who was still sleepy-eyed.

"I haven't slept enough......" Roxani, the White Dragon Princess, stood up in confusion.

Lance nodded solemnly and said, "Our chance has arisen, and two people are coming towards us. ”

When Veronica heard this, she sat up in a panic: "They found us?"

While packing up the package and the broken sword, Lance said, "No, judging by their appearance, they should have come out to relieve themselves." ”

The White Dragon Princess Roxani said suspiciously, "How do you know that they are going to be released?

"What......" Lance explained, "such a well-organized, well-disciplined army. In addition to the reason of coming out to relieve himself, other reasons must not be able to take leave. So they're definitely here to untie their hands. Let's go, Mrs. Long, you follow. ”

"Don't call me Mrs. Long!"

As he spoke, Lance took Veronica's hand and quietly moved in the direction of the two torches. The white dragon princess Loxani also flew up, following the two men.

And Veronica was pulled by Lance like this, and her face became shy. However, Lance didn't notice the change in Veronica at all, and just kept looking around and said, "Let me look for ...... I'm looking for ......."

As he walked, Lance looked in the direction in which the two torches were moving, and saw that three or four boulders more than two meters high stood out most prominently on the road between them and himself.

So Lance bent on his waist and took Veronica to speed up. Be the first to reach the boulders.

Veronica trotted and asked, "Lance, what are we doing here?" ”

Lance pulled Veronie into the back of the boulder, and the two of them leaned their backs against the boulder. And the white dragon princess Loxani flew to the top of the boulder and climbed down. Sticking out half of his little head, he observed the two people from above the boulder.

Lance cautiously stretched out half of his head, looked around, and whispered, "These boulders are the closest and taller objects to the pass. When a man unties, there is a high chance that he will pick a wall root or tree root where no one is peeing. This boulder is the closest tall object to them, and they must be looking for these boulders when they are coming towards us. Don't talk now. ”

So Lance and Veronica hid on the back of the boulder, which was unusually quiet, and then heard footsteps and grumbling voices on the boulder getting closer and closer.

"Since this army of the undead has become prosperous, the bosses of the demon clan don't seem to have a good attitude towards us Metu people. A man with a somewhat high-pitched voice said, like a cat with its tail stepped on.

At this time, a hoarse and low voice replied disdainfully: "Those demon bosses, when did they have a good attitude towards us." Damn, we don't even know what the demons look like, but we have to work for them as cannon fodder, and it's a shitty to think about. It's a shame that a few hundred demon generals and governors rule over us, orcs, kobolds, giants, minotaurs, and the newly researched army of the undead. I think I was also a dominant figure back then. ”

As he spoke, the "click" of the two of their boots stepping on the gravel got closer and closer. Lance hurriedly withdrew his head as well, and he and Veronica held their breath motionless against the back of the boulder. At this time, Lance devoted all his energy to his ears, and did not dare to relax for a moment to listen to the movements of these two people. And the two men stopped in front of the boulder.

"Put the torches aside, that's it, we'll settle it here. ”

The hoarse voice said, "I'll go to the other side and get a tuba, you kid pee here." ”

As he spoke, Lance heard the footsteps of a gravel walking and walked away from them, and it seemed that this was the man with a hoarse voice.

At this moment, the white dragon princess Loxani flew down from above the boulder, then hovered in front of Lance and began to gesture with her front paws. It probably meant that the two men were separated, one on this side and the other behind a boulder in the distance.

When Lance saw this, a glimmer of hope began to burn in his heart. He didn't expect these two people to be separated, it was like God helping them. The feeling that Langston was hanging in his heart was gone, leaving only a confident smile on the corner of his mouth and a plan in his head.
