023 If you want to run, it's not that simple
Early the next morning.
The fire that had been burning all night was finally extinguished, and the smell of freshly baked charcoal and charred flesh filled the air.
When the king finished memorizing today's spell and walked out of the tent, he saw Liguang kneeling in front of the stone pyramid that had just been built, praying sincerely.
Wang: "Do warrior monks also believe in God?" ”
Of course, it's just that we don't believe in those personified gods, we believe in the common sense of the world, the rules of all things. We pray not to receive God's favor, but to feel peace from all things. ”
Wang: "You looked very uneasy yesterday. ”
Liguang: "Yes. My master once said that being calm is not the same as rejecting anger and hatred, but accepting them. I didn't understand it before. ”
Wang: "And now?" ”
Liguang: "I don't dare to say I understand.
"But this past night, before I buried the bodies, I tried to identify whose bodies they were, and I identified one hundred and eighty of them.
"I recall what they were like when they were alive. We lizardmen have short lives, and we are cold-blooded animals, so we can't live in a hurry like cat people, we can only try to make our lives not waste every inch of time.
"Whenever I remember that it was finished, I would take a stone from the door of their house and base it on this pyramid. There are 180 stones in total, and I've finished it.
"I thought I'd get a rage in the process."
Wang: "But you didn't, did you?" ”
Liguang: "Yes. I was surprisingly calm, and I didn't know that I knew it myself, but I knew that I could do a lot of things that I wouldn't have dared to think of before. ”
Wang: "For example?" ”
Tachimitsu stood up, facing the not-so-tall pyramid, next to him weeds that had grown to ankle height after a night.
In the next moment, the dew on the weeds naturally rolled down-
Liguang caught the dew with his hand, so gentle that he didn't break the surface tension of the dewdrop, he let the dew roll gently along his scales, and then caught the dew with his other hand when it was about to fall.
He just let the dew roll back and forth between his hands.
Wang: "You...... Is this the martial monk's fist? ”
Tatsumitsu didn't answer, but after a full set of punches, he gently placed the dew drops on the blades of grass on the other side of his body.
Then he looked at the king.
Wang: "Well, how much more powerful is this punch than before?" Let's quantitatively analyze, taking the combat effectiveness of the barbarians in our team as a unit 1, how much combat power did you have, and how much is it now? ”
Liguang looked at Wang: "We obviously have completely contradictory ways of understanding the world, but I always feel that we can get along with you very happily. ”
Wang: "Ah...... Well, well, my teacher taught me to ask for common ground while reserving differences and peaceful coexistence. So don't worry, you see that in our squad, the main thing is a diversification. In fact, we are a bit thin in the front row, just a barbarian and a short man, and Marika is engaged in guerrilla assassination. Why don't you join us? ”
Liguang nodded: "I also think I should join you and make trouble for the Order to the end." ”
King: "I thought you were going to forgive the Order." ”
Liguang replied, "I have forgiven them. But I can't let them continue to cause misery. It's not about personal hatred, it's about the greater good. ”
Wang: "Are you sure you didn't find a high-sounding reason for your hatred?" ”
"It doesn't matter," replied Liguang, "whether you are relieved and decide to carry out the good, or if you can't be relieved and find a reason, there is not that big difference between the two. ”
Wang stared at the lizardman for a few seconds, and he was extremely sure that Liguang's current expression must be the calmest one among the lizardmen.
It turned out that the lizardman had been in a state of calm all along, and it seemed that he had indeed accepted his anger and transcended it, as his master had said.
Wang: "Wait a minute, my teacher said that the strength of a warrior monk comes from zazen, and a true warrior monk master has no waves in his heart. Did you get into that state? ”
Liguang: "I don't know. I don't care. ”
Wang was speechless: "Okay, when we enter the ruins, we will know." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Marika's voice came from beside him: "If we're going to the ruins, we'd better set off now." An airship appeared above the ruins, and it looked like the Order was preparing to retreat. ”
Wang: "Airship? The creation of a dwarf? ”
"yes, it looks pretty big, and it's not a problem to fit a few hundred people. They were guiding the airship to mooring as I left, and it is estimated that they will soon begin to lift cargo onto the airship.
"I think they're going to run away soon, and by the way, I've done my best to get back, but it's still taking a lot of time."
Wang was speechless: "This is very difficult. ”
Marika: "It's possible that the direct loss of a core mage and a nine-member squad of high-level wanderers yesterday scared the Order. What to do? ”
The king did not answer immediately, but after thinking for ten seconds, he said, "I have a plan." ”
Marika: "You have a plan. You'll always have a plan. ”
Wang: "When you were scouting, did you see that they had ballistas or anything like that could be used for air defense?" ”
Marika shook her head, "No." But there were plenty of archers on the ground, and I saw that warriors and wanderers had bows and arrows, not to mention rangers. ”
Wang: "Okay, got it. It's good to have no ballistas. Xiaobai! ”
The little white brush pulled the curtain of the tent: "What? ”
Wang: "We're ready to go and call everyone else up." ”
Marika: "Wait a minute! Are you going to go with Xiaobai? ”
Wang: "What are you talking about, we specially asked the dwarves to build a dragon saddle, the whole team can ride on it, and there is also the extra capacity of Xiaobai." We're going to launch an air assault on the Order,
"Judging from the fact that they don't even have access to the Lich's intelligence, either the Order's intelligence-gathering capabilities are lacking, or the branch lacks the information shared by headquarters.
"I bet they would never have imagined that we would have an air assault."
Marika: "...... I'll go and wake up Your Highness right away. ”
Xiaobai: "Assault in the air!" ”
At this time, Flint also lifted the tent curtain and came out: "What is it?" Luckily, I'm ready. What air assault? ”
The king took out his scepter: "I will become a dragon, and then I will wear that dragon saddle, and you will sit on it, and then we will go together to surprise the Order." ”
Flint was shocked: "Caris Newman, are you really going to use that dragon saddle?" What if I fall halfway through? ”
Wang: "Yes, the enemy may defend against the dragon, but they certainly didn't expect that we were attacking more than just the dragon and the druid. ”
Flint sighed, "I feel my emblem starting to heat up. The Kailin thief likes your idea. ”
At this time, Elizabeth rubbed her eyes and came out of the tent: "What's the matter?" ”
King: "We are going to raid the enemy from the air." You can shoot as much scorching rays as you like. ”
