Peggy and Van Sey were tied to a tree for two whole days, and when they saw the Red Sea butterfly again two days later, she was carried back.

With an apologetic face, the black thorn ray ordered them to let them go, and then leaned on the scepter and asked the Red Sea Butterfly what had happened.

The Red Sea Butterfly was lying on the stretcher and humming and chirping, but the soldier carrying the stretcher replied: "We have been ambushed by the enemy, and many people have been captured. ”

The black thorn ray asked, "How many people have returned?" ”

The other officers in the tent replied, "About two thousand." ”

The black thorn ray's expression was as if it had been constipated for two weeks. Fan Xi said yin and yang on the side, "The battle situation is good, much stronger than me." My Overseers are all gone. ”

The Red Sea Butterfly hated it so much, but unfortunately, as a defeated general, she didn't have the face to say anything.

The black thorn ray asked, "How did they ambush you?" ”

The pirates said in unison, "It's a trap." ”

Pitfall?

The black thorn ray couldn't believe its ears, "Could they have predicted that we were going to strike overnight?" ”

Fancy muttered to herself, "Miss Peggy's illusions are so vivid that they can see the flaws in their eyes. It is probably not difficult to predict a sneak attack a day in advance. ”

The black thorn ray looked at Van Si with suspicion on his face, and then asked the pirates, "There is no such thing as a pit in the desert, what trap have they laid?" ”

The pirates brought in a couple of wooden crates.

These wooden chests have openings about an arm's length and contain simple mechanisms made of shredded wood and steel nails. Usually bury the box shallow in the desert, if someone steps on it, the top plate will fall to the middle and open, and the two steel nails will be pierced out by force.

The wooden box is about thigh-deep to a person's thigh, and the steel nails are barbed after they enter the strands. Immediately incapacitates people for combat and operation.

The black thorn ray gasped when he saw these mechanisms, "Such a simple mechanism is a sharp weapon to restrain the alpaca cavalry. ”

Hearing this, the Red Sea Butterfly felt a little better on the stretcher.

The black thorn ray asked again, "How many of them are there?" ”

The soldiers shook their heads, and only said that they saw the uproar in the city, and they didn't know how many people rushed out, but they only knew that the female knight of the vanguard was very powerful, and even picked a dozen people, no matter who approached her, she would die if she didn't make three moves.

"I've counted, they have two chariots, two commanders, and seventy cavalrymen. ”

The black thorn ray was stunned: "Just such a few people, beat three thousand of us out, and two thousand of us come back?" ”

Fanxi glanced at the Red Sea Butterfly: "It's better to think about the good side, for example, she can at least breathe." ”

The Red Sea Butterfly didn't care about the pain and scolded: "I'm just injured, not dead!" ”

Fanxi looked at her for a moment, and continued to sneer, "It's common for people to be injured in the limbs and torsos of people who fight, but this is the first time I've seen someone like you with an injured buttocks. ”

The Red Sea Butterfly was so angry that he just bounced up from the stretcher, "Waist! You fanatic, this is the back, you know! ”

The black thorn ray asked, "How did this hurt?" ”

The Red Sea Butterfly shut her mouth and said nothing, and the black thorn ray waved her hand and asked her men to carry her to a secluded tent to recuperate. After she left, the pirate replied, "The leader and the female knight fought for two rounds and then turned and retreated, apparently trying to use the 'butterfly flying' against the enemy." ”

The Black Thorn Ray frowned, "That's her stunt, using soul magic to take off in the air for a short time, and assassinate her opponent by surprise, and no one has been able to dodge this trick so far." ”

The pirate said with a bitter face: "I didn't expect that as soon as the leader got up, the tip of the female knight's spear spewed out a ball of flames, knocking down the leader directly." The brothers went up together to save the leader. ”

The spear can also breathe fire, which is simply unheard of.

The black thorn ray suddenly felt that it had met an opponent that it had never seen before. He sighed, turned his head and ordered food and fresh water to be served, and welcomed Fancy and Peggy: "It seems that I was a little hasty. ”

Fancy helped Peggy to sit down and carefully placed the food in the palm of her hand: "She's good enough, but it's a pity that she thinks too much." ”

"Hahaha." The black thorn ray looked up to the sky and laughed, "What an upright general, how about we talk again?" ”

Fancy looked at Peggy's appearance lovingly, turned his head and asked, "Do you still have hole cards?" ”

The black thorn ray retreated from the surrounding minions, "Of course. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a crystal ball.

Fanxi's eyes suddenly lit up, this was not an ordinary crystal ball. This is a special reward that only the upper echelons of the Demon Race can get: the Sound Transmission Crystal.

.

Outside Heather, Harold is cleaning a trap with a few knights.

Two large claw fences tossed the sand like combs, digging out broken wooden crates. The bottom of the wooden box is also numbered, and several soldiers are taking stock of the lost traps.

Buxiao sat alone on the city wall, looking at the devastated Heather Castle, silent.

First the army of wild sand, and then the ironbeard pirates, listening to Harold's description, it seems that there are traces of demon interference. Will this ruined earthen fort stand up to such a round of siege?

He even wondered if he should dig three feet into the ground with a shovel to see what kind of shocking secrets were buried under this earthen fort that could make the three forces care so much.

"Don't laugh, are you hungry?" Lydia appeared behind him with a plate of hot white food, "I think you haven't eaten in a long time." ”

Sometimes people forget hunger because they think. Lydia reminded slightly, and Buxiao immediately felt the protest from her internal organs. Hurriedly grabbed one from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth without asking what it was.

The joy in Lydia's heart was incomprehensible to others. In her opinion, it must be a great trust that a person who does not smile at such a careful can eat the food he makes so confidently and boldly.

After eating three times in a row, Buxiao realized what he was eating: "Is this flour-wrapped meat?" ”

Lydia nodded, "This one is called 'steamed buns'. ”

"Head?" Buxiao pointed to his head, "The names of the foods in your previous life were very strange. ”

Lydia said, "That's right, this is supposed to be the place of a human head. ”

Buxiao pauses his eating and decides to re-evaluate Lydia, a species that eats human heads.

Seeing the disgusted look in her eyes, Lydia knew that he had misunderstood, so she simply sat down beside him and slowly explained, "This was invented by a very smart person in her previous life. ”

The look in her eyes was obviously displeased, obviously it was not a good thing for others to be smart in front of him.

Lydia Gege laughed, "I didn't expect you to be jealous of others too. ”

Don't smile and glare at her.

Lydia quickly suppressed a smile, "That man is resourceful and good at all kinds of inventions. Legend has it that after a battle, many unjust spirits blocked their way back. Locals say that human heads must be sacrificed to crack it. But the man didn't agree to do that. ”

Lydia picked up a steamed bun: "He said: Too many people have died during the war, how can you kill people at will when you are not fighting." Then he wrapped the meat in the dough and made this thing to sacrifice, and the souls were gone. ”

Buxiao finally resumed eating, and said: "He is much kinder than me, and he should live longer." ”

Lydia sighed, "He died of exhaustion. ”

didn't smile and opened his mouth wide, and even the steamed buns in his mouth almost fell on his hands.

Lydia shook her head helplessly, "His country is in the middle of nowhere, and his territory is small, and all the big and small affairs are on him. When he was old, he had to lead the troops to the battle, and finally died of a serious illness on the battlefield. ”

Bu smiled and slowly closed his mouth, as if he was pondering something. After a long time, he suddenly asked, "His kingdom was destroyed later?" ”

Lydia said: "Of course, he recommended some talents before he died, but after all, there is no successor." In the end, it seems that after holding out for thirty years, he surrendered. ”

Buxiao suddenly took out the parchment book from the shadow, turned a page and wrote a sentence: "The rise and fall of a kingdom depends on the number of talents. ”

"Lydia." Bu smiled as he wrote, and said, "If you have time, tell me more stories about that smart man." ”
