Keya only thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I know what you think, but it's impossible between me and Diana, you better save some effort! You're right, no matter how bad Diana is, she is also the daughter of General Barker. How to say, is also a believer in the goddess. We can't ignore her. I'll let her stay early tomorrow morning. I don't think Diana will dare to joke with her life no matter how much she messes around?"

Britney said hurriedly: "Oh, master, it is better to settle the grievances, do you really want Diana to hate you for the rest of your life?" In fact, you just need to hold her gently and say softly, let's reconcile." I promise......"

"Don't say it!" Keya interrupted Britney, "Britney, I'm your master. Do you dare not listen to the master's words now?"

Britney had no choice but to stop immediately, lowered her head, and whispered aggrievedly, "Yes, master! Actually, I'm planning this entirely for you!"

Keya patted her on the shoulder and said, "I know!" Okay, let's go back to sleep, tomorrow morning, we have to continue on our way!"

"Yes, master!"

As soon as it was dawn and the soldiers got up, they heard a commotion at the entrance of the village. I saw Judy pulling Diana's horse rope and shouting to Diana, who was anxious to leave: "Diana, are you crazy? You didn't leave when I asked you to go back yesterday, but today you are so far away from Yanjing, why do you insist on leaving? Now it's not like usual, what if you run into enemy troops on the way back? If there is no one to protect you, you will be very dangerous alone!"

Diana gritted her teeth and said, "Judy, you don't care about me, I came with a dead face, and I was not popular with some people." It's better to go back than to stay here and look at the rolls of his eyes. ”

Judy was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What's the matter? Didn't Koya already allow you to participate in our operation? Last night was fine, why did he change his mind again at dawn? Diana, don't be angry, let me go and talk to him, okay?"

Diana sneered and said, "No, he's something, and you're the only one who treats him as a treasure." I, Diana, have never been so angry! Don't pull me, I don't have anything to say to him. If you like to follow him, follow him, I'll go back to Yanjing by myself, let's say goodbye!"

Judy was in a hurry, and clung to the horse's rope and didn't let go, and shouted, "Diana, what kind of temper are yours? Did you and Keya quarrel last night? Oops! You two, why are you so wrong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from afar: "Diana! Don't play with the child's temper! I order you to return to the team at once, and prepare to set off with the team." ”

Diana looked back, only to see that it was Koya striding towards her. Judy also saw it, and said happily: "Keya, come here, Diana doesn't listen to dissuasion, and wants to leave us alone and go back to Yanjing!"

Keya walked up to them, nodded to Judy, and then turned to Diana and said, "Warrior Diana, didn't you hear the order?

Diana sneered: "Huh, didn't someone say last night that they wouldn't stop me from leaving? What's wrong......? Is that one?"

Keya said, "Diana, I don't care what you think. Now that you have joined this collective, I am responsible for your life! This is the time of war, and I will not let our personal grievances affect our actions this time. You are also a member of the country, please don't have such a surname, okay?"

Diana snorted and said, "Joke! I'm not a member of the swordsman squad, so why should I listen to your orders? To tell you the truth, I was impersonating yesterday, and my dad didn't even know I was coming." Besides, haven't you always been reluctant to accept me? I can leave now if I want, what right do you have to care about me?"

Judy stomped her foot and shouted, "Diana! Since Keya has left you, don't make a fuss, okay? Keya is also worried about your safety!"

Diana snorted again, but thought to herself, "Worried about me? I'm afraid I'm worried about himself? If something happens to me on the way back, let's see if my dad will spare him! Hmph! I'm not as he likes, I just want to make him worry and be afraid!"

Thinking of this, Diana said: "Judy, you don't need to say it, I have made up my mind, and no one can stop me." Let go, let me go!"

At this time, Keya said, "Diana, are you a believer in the goddess?"

Diana was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Keya meant, so she said, "So what?"

Keya said: "Yes, Diana Cathar Swordsman, I order you in the name of the goddess and as a holy swordsman of the Holy Sect, and now you have been conscripted into the army." According to the special wartime decree of the Empire, you have been assigned to the swordsman squad of the Fourth Army of the Guard, and you will immediately carry out the mission with the team! This order is now in effect, and there must be no mistake! Otherwise, I will immediately deal with you for the crime of apostasy and treason!"

After Keya finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left, never looking at Diana again. Diana was stunned, stunned on the horse, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. Judy laughed, breathed a sigh of relief, patted Diana's thigh, let go of the hand holding the horse rope and said with a smile: "Diana, it's okay, the official is crushing people to death." Let's do what we ordered, let's have breakfast. ”

Diana finally reacted back, and her nose was crooked in anger. Silver Fang bit it, turned over and dismounted, and immediately ran towards the village. At this moment, Keya was nibbling dry bread with the soldiers, and Diana, regardless of the crowd, rushed over and shouted, "Keya." Françoise: You dare to abuse the name of the goddess and the identity of the holy swordsman to achieve your ulterior motives? I will go and sue you to the Great Sage!"

Ke Ya took a bite of the dry bread, and said lightly while eating: "Wait until you see the Great Holy Maiden, now you can only follow the order and act with the team." Unless, you want to apostaly!"

"You!" Diana trembled with anger and pointed at Koya, her anger reaching its peak. At this time, Britney came over with a smile and took Diana's hand and said, "Diana, don't be angry! ”

Diana was dragged by her, and in desperation, she returned to Natara's room with extreme reluctance. The rules of the Holy Religion are very strict, and Keya is a high-ranking holy swordsman, and he does have the right to order Diana, who is just an ordinary apologetic swordsman, to act. As long as Keya's orders did not violate the canon's rules, Diana had to obey. Although Diana was full of resentment at the moment, Keya gave an order in the name of the Holy Swordsman, and she really didn't dare to disobey. Otherwise, it would be a grave sin of apostasy!

After a while, Diana's scream came from Natara's room, "Ahhh

Koya and the other warriors looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

After breakfast, the swordsman squad immediately began to continue the march. Diana followed with a blushing face, just gritting her teeth and ignoring anyone.

Keya doesn't care about her, as long as she doesn't make trouble. Along the way, the team has gotten closer and closer to the border. As long as it gets dark, you can reach the wild mountainous area.

The Wild Mountains are located between the three kingdoms of the Ponsin Empire, the Loferdo Empire and the Heint Empire, and is commonly known as the Basinya region. In the common language of the continent, it is a land that even the gods do not want to manage. Thousands of miles here are all poor mountains and bad waters. Demons are rampant, there are many beasts, and ordinary people really don't dare to go deep. Prince Carlos' rebels would not have taken refuge in this area of terror if they had not been cornered by General Barker. Now that they have been hiding in the mountains for ten years, they really don't know where they are now, whether they are all still alive. For the swordsman squad, how to find them is also a very difficult task!

Finally, in the evening, the team arrived at a small village at the foot of the mountains. It was already far from the battlefield, and the inhabitants did not move away. It's just that the original Emperor [***] brigade stationed nearby has already been transferred away by Yanjing. The soldiers did not dare to disturb the villagers, so they set up camp outside the village. At the same time, Koya took Britney into the village to ask the villagers about the geography of the Basinya region.

They found an old man, who used to be the head of the village, and it is said that when he was young, he had gone deep into the wild mountains to hunt!

The old man was very hospitable, and when he saw someone coming to visit, he brought out a little food that was not much to entertain the guests. After some politeness, Keya said straight to the point: "Old man, we are here this time to enter the Basinya region to find an army that has been advancing for ten years. But we know very little about this mountainous area, and we don't know the way at all. So I want to ask you, how do we find it?"

The old man touched his long beard, groaned, and said, "Oh, I remember. Ten years ago, an army did enter the mountains from here. It seems that it was a rebel army, because thirty miles away in the town of Hajing, there has always been an imperial [***] brigade stationed in order to prevent the rebel army from coming out of the mountains. ”

Keya said: "Yes, the old man, it's the rebel army. Now that the Empire is at war, our Majesty has pardoned the crimes of this rebel army, and has made a point of asking us to find them and persuade them to come back and defend their homeland. ”

The old man said: "Yes? The Basinya region is thousands of miles of poor mountains and bad waters, and wild beasts are everywhere. It's not easy to go into the mountains to find them!"

Britney Spears said, "That's why we're here to ask you about the old man!"

The old man smiled and said, "That's right, when I was young, I went into the mountains several times to make a living, and I fought a few wild beasts to come back to supplement my family. But I didn't dare to go too far, because of the deep mountains, so the old legend has the existence of demons. Those demons are very terrifying, and humans can fight when they encounter wild beasts, but when they encounter demons, there are only bones left. ”

Ke Ya said: "I heard that there are still Tu people in the deep mountains, aren't they?"

The old man said, "Yes, I saw it when I was young. They were all crypt dwarves, still living the life of primitive people. However, there are very few of them, and they live in caves. ”

"It is said that the rebel army ten years ago occupied the nest of the Turks, robbed them of their resources, and now lives there. Can you tell me where the original nest of the Turks is?"

The old man said, "Oh, that's not for sure, although the dwarves of the crypt live in groups, they are also divided into several tribes, I don't know which one you are talking about. When I was younger, I met cave dwarves who lived in groups more than a hundred miles east of the mountain. From here, it takes seven days to walk. If not, isn't your time wasted?"

Keya said: "We don't have a specific direction, and even if we find it, we won't waste time." At the very least, we proved that there is no such place, so we can turn around and look for it!"

The old man nodded, and said, "Okay, then I will tell you the passage of that mountain road from memory." Alas, if I hadn't been too old to walk, I would have taken you to find it. I'm also a citizen of the Empire, so it's only right to contribute to the Empire. ”

"It's okay, thank you, old man. Say it, I'll remember it!"

After daybreak, the team entered the mountain. There is only one entrance into the mountain. The swordsman squad brought enough dry food and drinking water, and prepared to search for the rebel army ten years ago in the vast wild mountains.

At first, the trail was not very difficult, but the further you went, the more rugged it became. There are so many places that you can only get off the horse and walk. The wild mountains are really called wild, perhaps because of the lack of water. Most of the mountains here are devoid of vegetation and are bare with rocks and loess. From time to time, there are also some unknown small beasts that haunt the neighborhood.

Although the swordsmen are skilled and bold, they are still a little creepy when they walk in such a desolate area. Without saying a word, Keya followed the route described by the old man, taking a towering mountain peak in the distance as a coordinate, and led the team all the way to the east.

Soon, it was dark again. So they chose a rock group to keep out the wind, and they pitched their tents and rested.

In the same way, Koya arranged two sentry posts in case some wild beast suddenly attacked in the middle of the night. After eating the food, everyone went to bed early.

It was late at night, and the mountains were so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. Only a campfire outside the tent was shining. Koya slept in his little tent when he was suddenly awakened from his sleep by a distant howl.

Koya rolled over and sat up, listening intently, and the distant cries came into his ears again. Now he could tell that it was the roar of some unknown large beast, and it was very far from here. In the mountains, such cries are so ordinary that there is nothing to worry about. Even if the beast does come, everyone in the swordsman squad has a fighting spirit. Killing only one or two beasts is naturally not a problem.

Koya was no longer worried, and fell asleep again. But the beast's cry was terrible, and it seemed to have met some attack. kept yelling, so noisy that Keya couldn't even fall asleep.

Suddenly, Koya heard a rush of footsteps outside the tent. Then the curtain was raised, and someone whispered in a trembling voice: "Keya, I'...... Can I come in?"

Koya had no choice but to sit up again and said, "Judy, is there something wrong?"

Judy didn't care about it, she got in all of a sudden, sat next to Keya, and said aggrievedly: "Keya, I'...... I'm afraid! That cry in the mountains is terrifying!"

Keya had no choice but to laugh and said, "Look at you, you're still a swordsman." A beast is just screaming, what's so terrifying? With your swordsmanship, what beast can't you clean up?"

Judy's calves were still shaking, she simply shrunk her legs, folded her hands together, and said urgently: "Can't you hear?

Keya smiled: "So what, the weak eat the strong, it's normal in the wilderness!"

At this moment, the beast in the distance suddenly wailed in an extremely terrible way, and suddenly stopped speaking. In the mountains, there was a dead silence!

Judy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly her face showed fear, she snorted softly, turned around and threw herself into Koya's arms. His teeth chattered, and he said incoherently: "Eaten, then...... The beast...... By...... Something ...... Eaten!"

Keya Khan had one, so he had to nudge Judy and said, "Judy, don't do this. The other beast is far away. They won't attack us, don't worry, huh?"

"No!" Judy hugged Keya desperately, buried her head in his arms and couldn't get up, and said, "Keya, I'm afraid, I don't dare to go back and sleep alone, let me stay with you, okay?"

Keya had no choice but to stroke his forehead and said with a wry smile: "You stay here with me, two people, how can you sleep?"

Judy didn't care, shrunk her body and squeezed into Keya's already small quilt, and said, "Two people are better than one, I don't care, I'll squeeze it here tonight, anyway...... With you by my side, I feel at ease. ”

Keya was dizzy for a moment and exclaimed, "Hey, hey, I'm a man! You can squeeze a quilt with a man, and you can be sure?"

Judy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around in the bed and put her back on Keya. Pulling the quilt, he whispered: "It's better to be eaten by you than by a beast, besides, will you?"

In desperation, he moved his body and tried not to get close to her. After a while, he said, "Forget it, who called me your captain? Then you sleep here, and don't move!"

Judy shrank down and whispered, "You...... Don't move!"

Keya sighed, calmed down, and began to sleep with his eyes closed. But there was a young woman lying in the bed, and her nose smelled the unique body fragrance of the female surname faintly emanating from her body. Where can Keya, who is strong-blooded, still sleep?

After a while, Judy's body moved, and she actually leaned into Keya's arms again. Ke Ya hurriedly retreated, but the quilt was already small, and this retreat, half of Keya's body was exposed outside the quilt. He had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Hey, didn't you say that you are not allowed to move?"

"I ...... I'm cold!"

"Come less, are you still cold with a quilt covering?"

"Koya, I'...... I'm really cold, hugging ...... Hold me ......."
