Chapter 74 Arson
Ten minutes later, when Wataru left the dungeon, his feet on the ground outside, squinting to feel the heat of the real sun, he still couldn't believe it, and he felt a sense of unreality. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Look around, this is the barracks of the battle mage. Groups of battle mage sergeants could be seen coming and going, and the nearest group of centaurs was almost brushing Wataru's shoulders.
Even on the battlefield, Wataru had never been surrounded by so many hostile personnel at the same time!
He couldn't help but feel nervous, but on the one hand, those sergeants were in a hurry to rush to the front line where the drums of war were beating at this moment, and on the other hand, when they saw the uniformed Moddy standing next to Watari, although many people's eyes flashed with doubts, no one asked anything more.
In this way, Moddy carried two unconscious girls and a prisoner-clad Wataru calmly walked in the battle mage's barracks.
Wataru took a deep breath, he was a little confused about the current situation, but what did it matter? Although Wataru was young, not yet twenty years old, his maturity was definitely not comparable to that of other peers.
At the military school, he underwent the harshest training in the entire empire.
Before the start of this ultimate war, he had served in the Empire's toughest theater of operations, and had personally slain the battle mages of the North.
It is true that he is only nineteen years old, but he is also an imperial major!
The rank of major is not only a sign of the fifteenth level of professional rank, but also a recognition of the army's ability to take charge of his own affairs.
"Let's follow this guy and see what he's going to do......" Wataru calmed down, the confusion and uneasiness in his eyes vanished, replaced by steadfastness and firmness.
Modi was very keen, he should have felt the subtle mood and state changes of Du, looked back at him with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Very powerful, you don't seem to be afraid of me at all." ā
"Ever since my beloved girl left me and ran away with an old man, I have been fearless. Du said lightly, "I'm not even afraid of death, why should I be afraid of you." ā
"Oh. Moddy raised his eyebrows, he didn't know why, this expression fell into Wataru's eyes, making him feel inexplicably familiar, déjà vu, but he knew very well that he had never seen the person in front of him before today, just like he had never learned in the textbook that the uniform on this person belonged to the unit belonging to the Battle Dynasty.
I only heard the other party continue: "It's good not to be afraid of death, and when I go to the battlefield later, if my guide is a coward and his legs are weak, then I will also be very embarrassed." ā
Wataru's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said quietly, "There is already a full-scale war?"
Although he could already guess the current situation from the large number of sergeants rushing to the front line from the surrounding area, as well as the faint sound of fighting in the distance, Wataru still wanted to confirm it.
"Hmm. Modi nodded, and said calmly without looking back, "The disciples and generals on both sides have personally dispatched, and this is probably a battle that will determine the outcome of the battle." ā
"Are the disciples and generals dispatched......" Wataru's face flashed with surprise, and there was a hint of inexplicable mixed emotions that seemed to be mixed with sourness and hatred, "So, what do you mean by you taking one of my captives out of the dungeon at such a moment?" Wataru paused, lowered his voice and continued, "You are very strange, you and the other battle mages are not the same route at all, we have been moving in the direction of the crowd!"
But Modi didn't answer this time, just smiled and said, "Don't ask more, just follow closely." ā
All the way to the end of the Battle Mage base camp, where strategic equipment and food were stored. It's a long way from the front line, and I can't even hear the drums of war. Warehouses in the style of a typical battle dynasty line at the foot of the hill.
Yes, further north from here, you will enter the Hengduan Mountains.
The Battle Dynasty chose to place important supplies and supplies here with a natural barrier on its back, so as not to be outflanked by the Wind and Thunder Empire.
There are not many battle mages stationed here, but they are all carefully selected elites, and even when the final battle starts, this group of people has not been mobilized to the front line.
Along the way, Wataru was observing Modi walking in front.
After coming to this logistics reserve area, Modi stopped, he silently stared at the warehouses in front of him, and his eyes flashed with some strange sharp edge.
Then he said something that he had not thought of in any case: "Come, take a hand, and burn this place down with me." ā
Just a few minutes later, the sky-high flames rose from the back of the Battle Mage Base Camp!
Ani noticed it for the first time, but after a short period of surprise, she sneered: "I guess I can't beat the frontal battlefield, so I want to harass you from behind?"
At such a time, Ani could not leave to check the situation or stabilize the rear, she had to stay here, and she did not feel the need to make such a small trip herself.
"Let Barbara and Moddy go right away. Ani ordered.
Soon, however, a sergeant came back sweating profusely and said in a deep voice, "Report to your lordship, neither Lord Moddy nor Lord Barbara are at his residence. And according to the report, Ten minutes ago, Modi and Lord Barbara went to the dungeon, and when they came out, Lord Barbara seemed to have fainted and was carried by Lord Mody, along with two other prisoners in the dungeon, and went to the back of the camp together. ā
"The back of the camp?" Ani was stunned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.
But she didn't think for a moment that it was Moddy who set the fire, but there was a very strange sense of uneasiness swirling in her heart.
At the same time, after setting the fire, Moddy had already left from the rear of the battle mage's base camp with Long Qiqi, Barbara, and Du, and went south again after going around in a small circle in the mountains.
Wataru was now full of shock and confusion, but he didn't have time to ask questions, or even think about what was going on.
Because after going around in a circle, bypassing the people in the battle mage base camp, Modi gradually increased the speed of his advance.
In the camp, Modi only walked unhurriedly, and when he went around in circles in the mountains, he trotted and leaped all the way, and now, when he left the mountains and walked along the plains to the southern core battlefield, Modi ran like a galloping horse that had finally broken free!
The direction of his advance was very clear, following a straight line ten kilometers to the right of the barracks, straight in the direction of the core battlefield of the Plains of Despair.
