Chapter Eighty-Nine: Rushing to the Doctor
Hannah's back was soaked in cold sweat for a moment.
She opened her mouth to say something, but Solomon didn't give her a chance to speak.
"The only reason I didn't let you return to Hadran right away was because I still needed you to take care of Lord Lanita.
"But I don't want today's incident to happen again, so if Lanita-sama has any new ideas in the future, I want you to stop her, and if she can't stop her, tell me as soon as possible, can you do it?"
Hannah swallowed and stammered, "I...... I, I think I should be able to. ”
"Very well, according to the plan, we will launch an attack on the Western Frontier early tomorrow morning, you and Lord Lanita will stay here then, and I will leave another hundred people to ensure your safety."
"But ......"
"No," Solomon said lightly, "it's an order." ”
"Okay, okay." Hannah could only swallow back the words that came to her lips.
As she exited the room, the sorceress felt her legs go limp.
She kind of realized what it was like to be on the opposite side of Solomon.
Hannah swore in her heart that she would never be an enemy of the Wing Clan commander again.
Solomon's other enemies would probably have thought so if they had known what she was thinking at the moment, but most of them didn't even have a chance to regret it.
Early the next morning, the commander of the Wing Clan gathered everyone in the city, not only the 10,000 Wing Clan army, but also the dwarves and the nobles of the empire who had surrendered.
In front of everyone, a Wing Clan interpreter repeated the warning that Li Yu had brought to Solomon in a different language.
"—You can only stop there, and if you don't, you will be consumed by the wrath of the true God."
Before he could finish his sentence, the Winged Clansmen erupted in laughter, and someone lifted up a black-clad scarecrow with a noose around his neck and a sword stuck in his body.
And at the foot of the scarecrow hung a dead rabbit.
It was only when the laughter subsided that Solomon spoke, "This is the message that the fellow who called himself a prophet sent to us.
"His Hugh, who threatened us, called his Saturday the true God in my presence, which is disrespectful to us, to Gaiua.
"That's why I decided to send troops to the West, not to mention that he and that Ilea also killed Sharjah, imprisoned Lanita, and stole a dragon from us.
"Kill them!"
"Kill all their loved ones and friends, kill everyone they know!!"
The crowd boiled again, and the scarecrow's head was cut off.
"Good." Solomon was pleased with the morale of the army, "We will leave today, and you will take the West with me, and Merlin and Ilea will pay for their hubris." ”
Amid the loud cheers, the dwarves and the nobles of the empire who had been summoned to join the expedition looked at each other.
After a moment, a dwarven general boldly spoke, "But I'm ...... We are not ready for an expedition, and the capture of the western frontier will not happen overnight, and the grain and grass now hoarded in the Horn of Plenty is only enough to sustain the army for less than ten days.
"I don't say this because Lord Lanita has approached us, but from a military point of view, we should wait for food from other places to arrive."
"What's your name?" Solomon asked.
"I'm Willy, good-natured Willy, for I have a good temper rarely seen among dwarves." The dwarven officer said.
"Well, good-natured Willy. Lift up your head, look around you, and if I ask my interpreter to translate your words, tell out loud to those who are celebrating, that you are now a corpse. ”
The dwarven officer was dumbfounded.
After a pause, Solomon said, "Don't worry about the matter of grain and grass, just collect it on the spot, you can let go of the looting this expedition, and you can kill all the people in the towns that try to resist in vain."
"And those who surrender in Kaesong, you can also take half of the wealth in the city."
His words made many people's eyes light up.
What are the big guys risking their lives to fight and fight for, isn't it just to get rich?
In their opinion, with so many men dispatched this time, and with Solomon and his army of 10,000 winged tribes also going out in person, it was only a matter of time before they took the western frontier.
With Solomon's promise, they could make a fortune in this war.
Everyone was smiling, and no one mentioned the matter of grain and grass anymore.
…………
When Lanita opened her eyes from her bed, Solomon and his army had already left Cape Plenty.
After hearing this news, the girl of the Wing Clan was like a lightning strike, and she could feel that her body was rapidly deteriorating, which was obviously not explained by the wind chill or the fatigue of the journey.
It is very likely to have something to do with the curse that Li Yu left on her.
Solomon broke the covenant despite her dissuasion, and the curse took effect.
Lanita's teeth itched, but she also knew that she couldn't fight Solomon now, and even if she didn't fall under the curse, she might not be the opponent of the Wing Clan commander.
And with her current physical and mental state, it is impossible to win against Solomon, in fact, Lanita also realized afterwards that she was too anxious yesterday, and she was completely sick and rushed to the doctor.
Solomon's control of the army was simply not something she could challenge.
Lanita was still reflecting on the strategy she had adopted before, and as a result, Hannah, who was taking care of her, looked at her with a panicked expression.
The Winged Girl looked down and noticed that her saliva was running down the corners of her mouth at some point, and she didn't notice it.
Lanita reached out and wiped it, and found that the saliva was gray and smelly, and then she couldn't help but spit it out.
Hannah didn't dislike it, and was still taking care of her, bringing her herbs and water, but Lanita waved her over.
"The medicine you gave me is useless," the Winged Maiden said angrily, "Merlin's curse has been integrated into my blood, and if I want to live, I can only exchange blood!" ”
"Exchange transfusion? But that's just a legendary trick...... No one has succeeded for thousands of years, not even your teacher, Gaiua's most pious servant, who has failed to exchange blood, and no one has survived. Hannah hesitated.
"I don't care," Lanita grabbed her arm and yelled, "I want you to prepare for my ritual right away, and pick ten more, no, thirty to exchange blood with me." ”
"But according to the records in the Book of Witchcraft, only people from the same tribe can complete the ritual, but there are not so many warriors of the Golden Eagle tribe here."
"Then use people from other tribes. Tell them it's the Wizards' decision and they'll be fine. Lanita gasped.
