Lydia sat alone in the tent without smiling, looking at the large map laid out in front of her. In fact, she doesn't need to think about strategy at all now, but she knows that there will be a lot of displaced people coming in later, and she wants to maintain a good image.

As the soldiers came in to announce, Lydia sighed, "Let them in." ”

The displaced people stepped into the tents, their faces full of exhaustion and anxiety, and their eyes full of hope and expectation.

It's also thanks to Lydia sitting in this position, if it weren't for the cold-blooded animal here, these trespassers would have died three times.

Lydia looked at them and asked casually, "Where are you from, and is there anything you need my help with?" ”

One of the displaced people stood up and said tremblingly, "We have fled from the surrounding villages...... Bebith's army ransacked our village, and we couldn't survive without food......"

Lydia glanced at the map, "The surrounding villages? I remember two months ago, Harry took people to all the villages and evacuated most of the people. ”

The homeless people hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Princess is merciful, we ignorant people didn't listen to your call at that time, and now our village has been destroyed, and we are really desperate......"

Seeing that they were all hungry and thin, and that they were covered in dust, Lydia probably understood how difficult their journey on the run was.

She thought about it for a while, called the general in charge of cooking, and prepared something for them to fill their stomachs first. He also asked Fili to set up two large tents for them outside the barracks and to spend the night for them.

"We'll have a logistics team coming over tomorrow." Lydia explained to them, "Tomorrow afternoon you can follow our logistics team to our city. Go there and start your life again. ”

The outcasts retreated in gratitude, and when they were sure they were far away, Lydia stroked her hair and sat back at the table. "Some...... Weird......" she muttered, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

.

As Fili led the homeless people through the barracks, he happened to pass by the recruits' tents. The rest of the soldiers had already fallen asleep, but Nacian sat outside the tent door, staring at the sky in a daze.

"Yo, I don't remember a sentry position here." Filip quipped, "What's on your mind?" ”

Nacian nodded, then shook his head again. He glanced at the homeless people behind Fili and asked, "What are these people doing here at such a late hour?" ”

Fili smiled, "It's nothing, they fled here, arrange a place for them to spend the night first." ”

Nacian patted his ass and stood up, "Then I'll help you, maybe you can fall asleep when you are tired." ”

The two of them were busy for a while, and after settling down the group of homeless people, they sat down in the corner to prepare for a rest. Nacian took out a small half pot of wine, "Would you like a sip?" ”

Fili waved his hand, "Not for the time being until we conquer Blue Rock City. ”

"Oh?" Nacian wondered, "Does that city mean anything special to you?" ”

Fili smiled tiredly, his eyes darkened and misty, "That was when I was younger, about ten years old, and Bebith had killed all of our village. ”

Nacian's expression stiffened suddenly, "You seem to have inadvertently said something very serious just now?" ”

Fili was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said in a low and slightly choked voice, "My parents died by Bibith's knife to protect our village. If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't grown horns that year, my grandmother wouldn't have even had a chance to take me out of that hell. ”

Nacian suddenly remembered one thing in his mind: the Protector Mage had once treated Bibis, and it was said that the medicine he prescribed was "deer blood". It's just that he was young and ignorant, and he didn't think about it at all, whether it was the blood of the deer or the blood of the deer people.

"Our deer people are already sparsely populated, and I haven't seen a single deer since that catastrophe except for Finx." Fili clenched his fists, "I've sworn countless times that I'd make Bibith pay for it. ”

Nacian put away the flask, "In that case, I shouldn't be drinking. ”

Filip asked, "Oh? Do you also have a grudge against Bebith? ”

Naxi said, "No, but I have a grudge against the 'Protector of the Nation'. My sister, my brother. Behind every bloody plague around me is his shadow. ”

Fili was a little surprised, "Looks like you've picked a terrible enemy." ”

Nacian's expression was gloomy, "We can't choose to be born, and we can't choose the enemy. ”

Fili let out a long breath, "But you still have a choice, you can at least choose your comrades." ”

Nacian asked, "Comrade-in-arms? ”

Fili nodded, "The princess once said that justice will not do it. For the sake of the justice and morality of this world, we should fight for it. ”

"Fight for it?" Nacian seemed to have a warm current in his blood.

A flame sparked in Fili's eyes, "Whether it's Bibith or the 'Protector of the Nation', they are all the scourge of this world and the source of all evil. It's time for our blades to wipe them out! ”

For some reason, Naxi suddenly felt his blood boiling, and his right hand slapped in front of him, and said firmly, "Yes, for the sake of my family, for the sake of your people, we must fight and completely eradicate them!" ”

The two of them met late, and talked about each other, and after a quarter of an hour Fili left Nacian and went back to find Lydia to restore his life.

.

As soon as Filip entered Lydia's tent, he saw Lydia holding her head and sighing sadly, "This is definitely ...... It's weird......"

In the center of the tent was a large iron cage, in which a dancing girl sat timidly, looking around in alarm.

Her hands were tied tightly behind her back, her mouth was gagged with a ball, her ankles were chained, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were tattered.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, have you come back with a dancing girl?" Fili's expression seemed to say: I really don't see that you have such a habit of shame.

Lydia barely jumped up with a "babble", "Don't talk nonsense, this is what Danica just rescued!" ”

Fortunately, Danica happened to walk in with a few craftsmen, and only then did she have a witness who could clear Lydia's innocence.

"Just now, there was a team sneakily wandering around the outside of the barracks, as if looking for an opportunity to enter Blue Rock City." Danica explained as she asked the craftsman to pick the lock, "We went up and broke them up, and then we saw them escorting the girl. ”

The girl sat in the middle of the cage, unable to speak, but her big flickering eyes revealed a longing for deliverance.

"Oh, my dear princess." Hei Ningxue got into the tent out of place, drank a few glasses, and laughed slightly drunk, "Isn't it enough for you to have a beauty like me?" And expand your harem in this way? ”

Lydia just rolled her eyes to the sky, "That's enough, you little who talks so much, can't you see that this is the dancing girl who was kidnapped by Bibith?" ”

As the craftsman snapped the cage's deadtongue, the dancer whined excitedly, as if to signal Danica to unravel her mouth so she could say something.

Seeing Danica and the craftsmen busy, Hei Ningxue elegantly found a box and sat down, stroked her hair, and said disdainfully, "Man, it's all a problem, two or three glasses of wine are down, and I will say everything." ”

"Confessed everything?" Lydia asked with a smile on her face.

Hei Ningxue unfolded her feather fan and shook it, "Of course, what kind of bullshit 'wandering businessman', full of black words, he thinks he is on the road, he is extremely ignorant." ”

Fili and Danica were shocked, "That Momayed and the princess dialogue is leaky, is it fake?" ”

"Is this also called dripping? You must be underestimating me. Lydia laughed, "They have only learned a little bit of the surface, where do they know the routine of the merchants: gems are a luxury, most of the people in the waste capital are poor, the aristocracy is collapsing, who do they ship this to?" ”

Speaking of this, seeing Hei Ningxue with a smiling face blocked in front, Lydia nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course, it mainly depends on the smart and lovely beauty soul master: Miss Hei Ningxue, who drunk those guys in time, and then made a confession, quickly write down a great merit for her and report back to not laughing." ”

The dancer's mouth was unraveled, and the craftsman began to try to break the chains on her feet. The dancer's voice trembled slightly, "Thank you...... Thank you for saving me......"

Lydia turned her head and soothed, "You're safe now, what do you call the girl?" ”

The dancing girl looked helplessly at the people around her and said carefully: "I was originally a dancing girl of the Three Princes, and my stage name was 'Cold Rose'. ”

I thought she was just the top dancer in the courtyard, but I didn't expect it to be a royal dancer. This time, Hei Ningxue was interested, and hurriedly got up and took her little hand, reached out and touched her face, and exclaimed: "Your smooth skin really makes me envious." ”

Lydia coughed, interrupting Hei Ningxue's orange speech, and asked solemnly, "Since you are the prince's dancing queen, you should stay in the palace, how can you be tied up in such a place?" ”

Leng Rose's nose twitched a few times, her eyes became rosy, and she said with a crying voice: "The third prince conspired to assassinate the Emperor of the Crazy Sand, and after the plan was revealed, the Emperor sent someone to raid the castle. The third prince was nowhere to be found, and a few of us dancing girls became the butler's playthings, and he sold them cheaply. ”

She cried sadly, "It's been seven months since I left the Imperial City, and I've been sold seven places. At first, he was just a geisha, but he didn't sell his body. Later, he was severely beaten by his 'godmother' and forced to take over the skin and flesh to live......"

Speaking of this, she couldn't hold back anymore and cried aggrievedly.

This miserable and painful experience touched everyone, Hei Ningxue's eyes were even more tearful, and she hugged her and cried, "What a poor girl, don't be afraid, my sister will protect you." ”

Cold Rose cast a grateful glance at Hei Ningxue, and snuggled her head into her arms to feel Hei Ningxue's care.

After the restraints on Leng Rose's hands were also untied, Hei Ningxue stroked her head, "Good boy, my sister will take you to eat something, wash up, and rest for a good night." ”

"Yes, follow my sister's orders." Cold Rose lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted Hei Ningxue, hung her head and followed Hei Ningxue out.
