Seeing Lydia riding a landing bird, the young man and Shirley complained a lot.

"Don't laugh and say......" As soon as Lydia spoke, she felt that it seemed impolite to call her by her name, and several suffixes quickly flashed through her mind: sir, general, master, all of which did not seem appropriate. Five seconds after her brain crashed, she could only grab a random title: "Don't laugh at adults, implement the backup plan." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand and made a few strange gestures—something that Buxiao had taught her in the cave—just as Buxiao had said, and Shirley immediately understood the meaning after reading it, and turned over the chocobo and walked back.

"She really understands?" With the help of the young man, Lydia took the chocobo by the hand and lurked beside the road, "What do those movements mean?" ”

"That's their secret." The young man shook his head, "They were raised without laughing, and only she and Finks could understand it here." ”

"That kind of weirdo would still adopt?" Lydia didn't know whether to laugh or cry three times, "It's hard to imagine. ”

The young man pinched the mud and laughed, "Yes, it's hard to imagine that some princesses will go into battle. ”

Lydia was rarely speechless, so she could only pull out a famous quote to bypass the topic: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a commander is not a good soldier." ”

But she forgot that this phrase might have appeared for the first time in this world, and had succeeded in arousing the interest of the young man, and he reflected for a moment and exclaimed: "The princess's words make so much sense! So your aspiration is to become a commander-in-chief? ”

Lydia just wanted to nod, but she couldn't help but think that there was still a Divine Capital honor guard in the Divine Light Empire that claimed to be under her command, but only obeyed the orders of the priests with swords. I couldn't help but feel a sadness in my heart: "I thought I could change anything in this life, but in the end I still have nothing......"

A hundred paces away, a flock of birds arose in the forest.

Through the trees, you can already see the snow-capped mountain wolf fang banner of Ice Wolf Castle fluttering in the air, and the winding and long procession is estimated to be thousands of people. The Great General of Ice Wolf Castle, Luo Pu, rode proudly on the Red Feather Chocobo, and carried a gilded battle axe inlaid with soul stones on his shoulder, reflecting dazzling light in the jungle.

Lydia and the young man quietly stepped onto the chocobos, waiting for them to approach.

General Luo Pu looked at the endless jungle and shouted at his soldiers, "Hurry up, rice buckets! Turn this mountain range over and find that lowly woman too! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lydia, dressed in a linen cloth, suddenly sprang out of the woods. Hearing the rapid flapping of the chocobo's wings, Lydia jumped into the air and leaped over General Luopu's head: "You bastard is despicable! As he spoke, a piece of bird droppings split his head and covered his face and poured it towards Luopu!

Luo Pu was surprised and delighted at first, and finally became furious. The Ice Wolf King's wanted, the demon clan's bounty, he doesn't care about these anymore. He just wanted this hateful woman to taste his wrath now!

"Catch her!" General Luo Pu rode the landing bird to take the lead, and the ice wolf warriors behind him rushed forward like a tide.

Lydia tugged at the reins, turned her head and ran down the trail.

The young man was worried that Lydia would not recover from her serious injuries, but under her superb riding skills, the chocobo rushed like a burning buttocks, leaving the young man far behind in two or three sprints.

General Lopu followed. Although his red feather bird is a good breed of Ice Wolf Castle, it can't catch up with Lydia. Seeing that Lydia was about to die, he secretly chanted a spell, and several fireballs shot towards Lydia as the gilded battle axe's soul flame ignited.

When the young man heard the fireball flying, he immediately slowed down, summoned the Red Dragon Greatsword and turned around and slashed at Luo Pu's head!

Lopu believed that the tomahawk was long and heavy, and did not take the greatsword seriously. With a smirk, he swung his axe and slashed, intending to shake the greatsword open and then cut the person in the way in half.

But he underestimated the power of the greatsword, and in just three rounds, most of his beard was already scorched.

The young man fought and retreated, and General Luo Pu chased while fighting, only suffering those ice wolf warriors on foot, as if they had participated in a long-distance running race, no matter how desperately they ran, they could not catch up with the two people riding the landing birds.

The two of them played more than 20 times in ping-pong, and they saw that they had reached the vicinity of the stream. The young man made a false move, "Roar, Red Dragon!" ”

As soon as the spell came out, thick smoke rose everywhere, and the five fingers on the mountain road were suddenly missing.

Before General Luo Pu and the ice wolf warriors could understand what was happening, the explosives on the hillside continued to thunder, and countless boulders fell from the sky, killing many people.

"Retreat! Evacuate! "The voice of General Lope came from the smoke.

"Who? Who? No retreat! It's not my order! "In the smoke came the voice of Luopu again.

In the smoke, the soldiers didn't know which voice to listen to, and suddenly they heard the horn of the snail in unison, and the proprietress took advantage of the chaos to kill. In the chaos, I don't know how many people came, General Luo Pu was in a big mess, he didn't care about commanding, kicked the chocobo, and fled down the mountain.

"The general has fled! Run! There were all sorts of shouts coming from the smoke. Lydia had already figured out that these shouts that were hard to distinguish between true and false must be Shirley, who was good at ventriloquism, was secretly playing tricks.

As soon as those ice wolf warriors heard that the general was about to flee, they all hugged their heads and ran away. Along the way, they trampled on each other, and there were countless casualties. By the time they fled to the foot of the mountain, they were already terrified, and they were on their backs.

In the midst of the panic, an arrow sounded in the forest, and bows and arrows were shot from all directions like a storm.

Almost every Ice Wolf Warrior was hit by several arrows, some rolled on the ground, crawled, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, crying for dad and mother, and screaming endlessly.

Hiding in the jungle, Finks mercilessly aimed at General Lopu's heart, "Bastard, die!" ”

Eight hundred and twenty-nine corpses.

While cleaning up the battlefield, Lydia couldn't help but gasp. You must know that there are less than 200 people in this cave.

"A large number of arrows, armor and weapons were seized." Copper Hammer excitedly reported, "There are also eighteen soul stones." That general also has a high-grade soul crystal on his axe, and he makes a lot of money. ”

Finks sighed, "It's a pity that the chocobo is dead. In order to snipe the general, she had to kill the chocobo first.

"Don't be sad, little girl, we'll have a lot of chocobos in the future." Brass Squinted, "Maybe one day you'll be able to ride a horse." ”

"Like the kind of nobles in the imperial capital?" Finks was immediately happy!

"Of course," Hammer laughed and high-fived Finks.

Amid the jubilation, the young man led the men to line up on a flat field with nearly 300 prisoners of war. Lydia roughly estimated that there were at least ten knights in this group of captives, and even at the lowest price they could get back 30,000 gold coins.

Lydia peeked in the corner without smiling, her heart filled with anticipation for some reason. She seemed to want to see if this unsmiling man could stick to his principles in the face of the temptation of 30,000 gold coins.

After all, the hypocritical lord, she has seen enough.

But the one who didn't smile just stood there motionless like a scarecrow, but it was the dwarven warlord named Copperhammer who commanded the man to carry a few wooden boxes.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Brass Hammer climbed up the wooden box and yelled at the captives.

When the scene was quiet, he continued to roar: "Listen up, you all listen: we are the Red Pavilion, the Red Pavilion that specializes in dealing with demons. Your Ice Wolf King colluded with the Demon Clan, and if you give him your life, you will work for the Demon Clan! Now let you go back and find a way out to live well! ”

Lydia's joy exploded like popcorn in a boiling pot, and the script that had been buried in her heart for years resurfaced, like the cliché often told by bards: in a dark world, a down-and-out knight joins a tiny rebel army and finally defeats the demon king and earns everyone's respect.

It just so happens that she's a down-and-out knight.

Thinking of this, Lydia waited expectantly for the dwarf to continue.

"Let's go, I'm done." Brass Hammer said as he jumped off the wooden box on his own, leaving only the bewildered group of prisoners of war staring wide-eyed. And Lydia had begun to suspect that at least one of her ears and brain was wrong.

Shirley patted her on the shoulder, "What's the matter, princess." You seem to have fallen under the curse of a sea monster? ”

Probably too shocked, Lydia's speech function did not recover for a long time, but her eyes widened and pointed at the captives who had scattered in a hurry.

"Let the captives go?" Shirley Gege smiled, "Uncle Copper Hammer has a loud voice, so he is often put in charge of this matter." ”

The corners of Lydia's mouth twitched for a moment, and finally she spat out a complete sentence: "I mean...... Just let it go...... Does it make sense? ”

Shirley tilted her head to look at Lydia, "Meaning? Just let them go back. ”

Lydia's hands shook in front of her chest, and she pulled a few words out of her head like pulling a rope from a deep well: "The organization that saved the world in troubled times, don't you publicize the background of the Red Pavilion?" ”

Shirley was about to speak, but suddenly her mouth was tightly closed again.

Lydia continued: "Talk about what you want to do, how you plan to do it, who you unite and who you are against? Your ideas, plans, ideals, aspirations...... If you don't say any of these things, do you want to hide for the winter? ”

Shirley's mouth was like twenty locks, airtight, but she gave Lydia frequent looks, as if to remind her of something.

Lydia was talking about it, where would she notice Shirley's expression, and continued to laugh to herself: "What's the point of keeping a sense of mystery when you hook up with a dance partner at the dance party and introduce yourself?" Want to play the mystery of a soothsayer? If people don't know about you, no one will join. Over time, your ranks will shrink and eventually disappear from this world. ”

After a mouthful of cannons, Lydia finally finished her addiction. After IQ took over the nerve center again, she seemed to realize that there was something delicate about the situation. It was too late to retract what she had just said, and she vaguely felt that there seemed to be a dark wind circling behind her, suggesting that someone she least wanted to see was standing behind her all the time.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! Lydia jerked around and made a gesture begging for mercy. After being beaten countless times under the Divine Capital Martial Saint Sect, she was already able to change from any posture to a begging and acknowledging appearance in the blink of an eye. At one point, she thought it was her best skill besides riding.

Behind it is an expressionless non-smile.

There was no expression on that indifferent face, and the half-open and half-closed eyes were full of arrogance.

"You're not wrong." There was no emotion in his voice. Lydia couldn't even tell if he was sarcastic or stating the facts.

"It's my fault." His expression was gloomy, "I didn't think about it. ”
