Chapter 2: Dawn creeps across the horizon
For Xu Mochao, this is normal.
Normal physiological reaction, if he doesn't react in this case, it's abnormal!
But for Adela it's different.
She was a devout priest, although in Erathia the priest did not forbid marriage.
But Adela is precisely the type who is ready to dedicate his life to his faith and never intends to marry for the rest of his life.
Now she has this level of contact with the opposite sex in this situation, although it is also a last resort, but it has left a flaw in the depths of her soul.
Thinking that he had planned to let Wilkes play a beauty trick on Xu Mochao before, Adela couldn't help but secretly regret that he must have had this kind of sinful thoughts before, so God would punish him like this.
Fortunately, Xu Mochao is the kind of upright gentleman, and even in this case, he didn't take the opportunity to rub oil.
Otherwise, in order to rescue, I can only endure silently.
But even if Xu Mochao didn't deliberately take advantage of her, this level of intimate contact still made Adela fidget, red-faced.
But Xu Mochao still looked puzzled: "Adela, what's wrong with you?" Feeling unwell? ”
If she hadn't been able to rely on her unique ability to know that Xu Mochao was not lying, she would have wondered if Xu Mochao was deliberately teasing herself.
Thinking of Xu Mochao's previous behaviors, Adela thought to herself, "That's probably what the Kyushu Continent said...... Straight man? ”
"It's nothing, maybe it's been in the air for too long and I'm not feeling well."
Xu Mochao suddenly showed a sudden expression of realization when he heard this, "Oh, I understand this, women always have a few days a month." ”
“……”
Adela could only smile awkwardly but politely, "Thank you for your concern." ”
"You're welcome, remember to drink more hot water when you get to the hotel."
“……”
However, in this way, it did alleviate Adela's previous embarrassment, and also made her sure that Xu Mochao is not only a straight man, but also a straight man of steel!
If Xu Mochao knew what she was thinking, he would definitely agree.
Because in his opinion, the so-called straight man, as opposed to a curved man, is a man who means that his sexual orientation is normal!
In the following period, the situation of Erathia took a sharp turn for the worse.
First of all, the east, the underground lord of Nigon has officially crossed the sea through the underground tunnel built some time ago to the east of Erathia, and the eastern Elasia has collapsed under the attack of Nigon.
The West has been reduced to a battlefield between Tytalia and Krurod for resources and land.
Although the Barbarians and the Lizardmen were at odds with each other, attacking Erathia at the same time as attacking each other, it was Erathia who suffered the most due to the war taking place on Erathia's territory.
There is also Ofer, who has always been the opponent of Erathia, when Nigon attacked Erathia, he took the opportunity to kill Erathia's ally, the Golden Dragon Queen of the Avili Elves, which greatly hindered Avili's assistance to Erathia.
What's more, their next target is Erathia's capital, Standwick.
Although the city has never fallen into the hands of the enemy in the history of Erathia, the current situation really means that this record is about to be changed.
There is good news...... Thirty-nine
It was Sandru, the necromancer who started the war, who was imprisoned by Finnis Wilma, the king of Dia and his former ally.
According to the innkeeper's intelligence, Phoenix took advantage of Sandru's contempt and tricked him into killing an innocent lord, and then put him in prison for that charge.
In this way, Phoenix will be able to rule the kingdom of Dya alone.
At the same time, he used all the work Sandru had done to invade Erathia, stealing all of Sandru's efforts - so that at least their opponent would have one less conspirator.
But Adela wasn't happy.
"Sandru's outcome has nothing to do with me", she frowned, looking at the innkeeper who had made a fortune from the war, and her eyes showed deep worry, "Once Standwick is occupied by the Kregans, then everything is over!" Xu, can you be a little faster? ”
Xu Mochao shrugged, "Yes, it's okay, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it-give, this is hot water." ”
“…… The water is already cold. ”
"It's okay, look at me!"
Xu Mochao said and took the glass of water and directly used the Jiuyang Divine Skill, and it didn't take long for it to be re-boiled.
"Come on, drink more hot water!"
“……”
"We need to get to the capital as soon as possible, and ...... You don't have to worry about me, you can fly as fast as you can! ”
"I have a question, even if we can get to Standwick, will it work?"
Xu Mochao asked puzzled, "Can your prestige calm the chaos in the capital?" Will those stubborn old guys listen to you? ”
Through the conversations with Adela along the way, Chaoge is already familiar with Erathia's situation.
Nowadays, there are not many people with more prestige in the capital, and among the priests there is only Archbishop Ronis, who is good at prayer, but among the knights are Ouling, Rod Hart, Sir Mrak and others.
As a pastor, it was not easy for Adela to get their support.
Besides, maybe the man who killed the old king was one of them?
Therefore, Xu Mochao did not understand Adela's approach of rushing back to the capital.
"I will tell you what is happening at the border and what I have seen and heard along the way," Adela said firmly, "The outcome has been decided before the battle, and I am confident that Erathia will win the final victory!" ”
Xu Mochao was quite interested in this, "What do you think?" ”
"Unite Aveli in the North and Bracada in the South! As long as they can get their support, Diya and Nigon can be pinned down by them! That way, we just have to concentrate on dealing with Ofer! ”
"Aren't there still those two countries in the West?"
"The barbarians and lizardmen have been mercenaries until now," Adela said confidently, "The only famous heroes among them are the men named Tezer and Brown, who Caitlin has dealt with before, and they are better at defense than offense, so there is nothing to fear." ”
Looking at Adela talking eloquently, Xu Mochao shrugged, Okay, it's good if you're happy.
So in the following time, Xu Mochao accelerated his flight speed, and the two of them also reduced the rest time to return to the ground.
However, just as they were still a week or so away from reaching Standwick, bad news came.
The capital of Erathia, Standwick, which had never been captured, was finally unable to hold out, and fell under the combined attack of the underground lords of Nigon and the demons of Orf!
