6. The Decisive Battle of the Wild Sands Chapter 276 The Conscription Ceremony

Painful, tormented, her body had reached its limit. In front of her, she was groggy and seemed to have several stars, which were constantly circling around her head.

Five, six, seven.

It wasn't until she saw the seven stars twinkling in front of her eyes that she heard a "squeak" sound in her ears.

The door opened.

Crisp footsteps walked in, and then she felt a plank be stuffed under her ass - at this moment, her whole body went soft, as if all her strength had been drained.

The coquettish voice sounded in my ears again, "I have persisted for so long, very good, very energetic, the little woman respects you 'big sister'." ”

She slumped in her chair, unable to speak at the moment, and could only make a few heavy breaths in her throat in response.

"I don't know if the eldest sister has figured it out?" A charming voice came to her, "Now, 'Rosemary''s assassination plan has been exposed, and your comrades are being arrested one after another. I advise you not to continue to resist, it is still too late to surrender. ”

She took a deep breath, "You want to break my will, you underestimate me too much." We are all people who have crawled out of hell and will not give in so easily. ”

"Look at her hard mouth." The coquettish voice seemed to cover her mouth with something and smiled, "That's it, I'm a little tired after a hard day's work today, lock her up first, and then continue the interrogation tomorrow." ”

So saying, someone else came in and untied the hooded man from the rope and put a new pair of flails on her. Now she can walk freely, but her hands can only be raised on the sides of her shoulders, let alone do anything, and she can't even take off the bag on her head.

"Let's go." Two rough soldiers escorted her, I don't know how many steps she walked, I don't know how long she went around in circles, and when they shouted "Go in," she was pushed into a pile of hay.

The sound of the door closing, the sound of chains, the sound of footsteps leaving, and finally everything is calm again.

In the darkness and silence, she heard a familiar voice: "Who is it?" ”

"Matsutake mushrooms?" There was a burst of surprise and anger in her heart, "You leaked our whereabouts?" ”

"Bamboo Sun?" Another voice was a little angry, "Why are you here?" ”

"Don't even speak." The voice said, "They've taken advantage of the chaos to hear a lot of news, don't leak it anymore." ”

The voice known as Matsutake snorted, "Mutu, what kind of skin do you have to talk about, that piece of amber hasn't been found from you yet." ”

Mu's voice was ashamed and angry, "Haven't you been searched? The woman even had to poke the chrysanthemum with a stick a few times, but you want a place to hide it? ”

The female killer codenamed Zhusun felt a pang in her heart, and she was secretly glad that she had saved her chrysanthemum, so she asked again: "How much news do they know now?" ”

Matsutake coughed, "I should already know about the Oasis Song and Dance Troupe, but I don't know if 'white fungus' and 'flower mushroom' have been exposed." ”

Mu Er sighed, "I'm afraid they won't last long, and the people in the Red Pavilion are even more difficult to deal with than they imagined." ”

Zhu Sun sneered, "I'm afraid that your ability is limited, and you can't complete the task sent by Lord 'Rosemary'." ”

Mu Er said with some embarrassment: "At least my team is still alive, what about your team?" ”

Zhusun was speechless for a moment, and could only confess, "I was arrested when I went to find 'Hua Mushroom' to dock information." ”

The fungus seemed to regain its confidence all of a sudden, and said sarcastically, "So you didn't even take on the mission, and even lost your team?" ”

"Silence." Matsutake suddenly said, "You were still talking just now, be careful of them eavesdropping." ”

Everyone held their breath, and it took a while for them to breathe together. "There isn't any extra breathing, no one is eavesdropping on us." ”

Many people will overestimate their own level when they don't know enough about the environment and themselves, just like many people who are already at a disadvantage still have the illusion that "I can fight back".

While several people were talking blindfolded, they couldn't see a large, thin-skinned cone facing them mercilessly.

Behind the thin skin was a thin taut thread connected to another thin skinned resonance box thirty meters away. Hei Ning Xue and Lydia were sitting there patiently "eavesdropping" on their conversation.

Although the voices were faint, Lydia could hear their discussion clearly.

She picked up the charcoal pen and wrote casually: "Why are their code names all mushrooms, I seem to be looking at a pot of mushroom hot pot, and I am a little greedy." ”

Hei Ningxue glanced at her, circled the names "white fungus" and "mushroom", and wrote next to the latter: song and dance troupe vendor; Next to the former it was written: undercover.

Lydia nodded, and wrote next to Tremella's name: "Three suspects have probably been identified."

There was a little more argument in the resonance box, as if discussing how to appeal to "Rosemary" that he had not betrayed. In the midst of all the nonsense, Hei Ningxue suddenly heard a key piece of information: the fungus suddenly said loudly that Rosemary had asked him to mend his favorite Cloak of Stars and Moon.

As she wrote this, Lydia put a question mark on the side.

Indeed, in the secular view of this world, the cloak is like an apron, which is used to cover the outside from the wind and rain. In addition to the cloaks of generals and soldiers, which were embroidered with state insignia and military exploits, only the special capes of the royal family and nobles for certain ceremonies were embroidered.

If someone wears a cloak embroidered with stars and moon on the street, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the whole city.

It seems that the identity of this "rosemary" may be full of mystery.

Hei Ningxue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she rustled and wrote a line of words on the paper: Conscription ceremony.

.

The Red Pavilion has been in full swing for demobilization and recruitment.

I don't know if it's seeing those honorably discharged veterans undressed in glory and returning to civilian life at a young age, or longing to gallop on the battlefield with generals like Lydia and Nick - whatever the reason, the Red Pavilion's recruiting office has always been overcrowded.

Originally, Lydia also considered the introduction of a "compulsory military service system", but it turned out that young men and women were keen to join the army, and this system was also pushed to loneliness.

In such an environment, Hei Ningxue suggested some kind of recruitment ceremony, which made Lydia very confused.

You must know that in the concept of Lydia, the princess named in the god capital, the "ceremony" is a complicated process, and it also requires the training of the military band, the battle flag team, the salute team, the parade phalanx, the battle phalanx, the performance phalanx and the parade phalanx......

"It doesn't need to be that complicated." Hei Ningxue hurriedly shook her hand, overturning her complicated thoughts, "You just need to show up more and give them more chances to assassinate." ”

Lydia looked at Black Snowy suspiciously, "You mean to use me as bait?" ”

Hei Ningxue nodded obediently.

Lydia looked at Hei Ningxue even more suspiciously, "Are you sure you don't want to borrow a knife to kill someone, and then plan to continue the string?" ”

Hei Ningxue coughed, "Are you making a mistake, the continuation of the string is a man's business, and for women, it is called 'filling the house'." ”

Lydia was shocked, she didn't expect Hei Ningxue, a woman from an unknown country, to know more about traditional culture than herself. I was stunned for a moment, and I forgot to refute it.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Hei Ningxue didn't give her a chance to refute and directly dealt with it by default, turned her head and called Filip and asked him to help prepare a "normal" conscription ceremony.

That's right, as long as Lydia doesn't participate in the planned ceremony, it will be very "normal", in modern parlance, the pragmatism of "minimalist business style".

Adhering to the principle of pragmatism, Filip led people to set up a simple review stand in the square, and decorated the surrounding environment with colorful flags and ribbons, adding a little festive and solemn atmosphere to the ceremony.

This knocking also attracted many residents to watch. Soon, news that Lydia was going to hold a recruitment ceremony and review the recruits quickly spread throughout New Oasis City.

Early the next morning, many residents gathered in the square, looking forward to witnessing this special occasion. Even the displaced people in the shantytowns were allowed to go to the ceremony in groups, much to the delight of Daddy Shiraf's family, who had yet to take the exam.

At the first rays of dawn, the flag of the Red Pavilion rose in the square. To the sound of the snare, Lydia strode to the reviewing stand, dressed in skirt armor and holding a guard of honor sword. Determined eyes looked around the audience, and at this moment, the people let out thunderous cheers.

Many homeless people had only heard of this legendary female knight who broke into the demon camp alone in the mouth of the bard, and now they all praised, "This majestic aura is really the princess of the Shendu." ”

Nacian whispered, "I thought 'Princess of Fire' was just a story of a bard, but is she really royal?" ”

The man next to him said, "The royal family? Don't be funny, she's the goddaughter of the Lady of the Divine Metropolis, a serious royal family. The commanders of the Holy Crusade, the 'King Valhalla' and the 'Priest with the Sword', had to shout out to the princess when they saw her. ”

In fact, this is purely a fabrication by passers-by, although Lydia is ranked eighth in the "Holy Cross", but because she is actually a commoner, many times she is not treated at all. There was no one to clink glasses with her during the rally, so she could only sit alone and eat stuffy food.

Nacian looked at Lydia's figure from afar in disbelief, and said to himself, "There is a royal family in the world who is willing to come to fight in such a poor place, what is her intention?" ”

At this moment, a pitch-black figure floated onto the review table like a ghost.

The pitch-black cloak against a pale, expressionless face stood beside Lydia indifferently, but it exuded a chilling aura.

Someone in the crowd whispered, "See, that man in black is the owner of the Red Pavilion, the all-knowing and all-powerful King of Non-Laughing." ”

"Is there really an all-knowing and all-powerful person in the world?" Nacian asked cautiously.

Someone whispered: "Then you must not have heard of the battle between the Red Pavilion and the 'Thousand-Faced Enchantress', that woman turned into tens of millions of phantoms, and even General Nick could not resist." Unexpectedly, the king who did not laugh saw through her illusion at a glance, and unscrewed off her head in one hand. ”

Nacian suddenly remembered the fat boss's words, "It is said that he can see through the darkest corners of people's hearts with just one glance?" ”

Several columns of guards suddenly crowded into the crowd, and the onlookers suddenly became commotionous.
