Listening to the long howl of blood in her ears, Mans's face turned even whiter, and she silently put on her clothes and stood up, with a painful cramp at the corner of her mouth. The full-text and ad-free novel is all in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info Tuming and the other Blood Eagle looked at Mans with a very special look. They didn't speak, and it could be seen from their bloodshot eyes that these wild and hot-blooded men had been impressed by Mans's sudden move, and there was burning admiration and deep understanding in their eyes.
"Childe. Mans gently pressed her hand on Ling Fox's shoulder, a little cool, and she reminded softly, "It's almost dawn." β
Linghu turned his head, it was a face full of sorrow and sorrow, and his teeth clenched into his red lower lip, as if it was about to drip blood. He looked at Mans, and there was a sadness in his eyes that was as thick as the night mist, "Thank you, Mans. His voice was low, so low that it was impossible to understand whether he was more grateful or sad for what Mance had just done.
Mans's heart was bitter, and she regretted her actions a little. She could have done otherwise, but for some reason, when she saw the calm and relieved smile on Wesley's lips before she died, there was an impulse, a pride, that made her babe herself in front of so many people almost without thinking. "Maybe it's also a relief for me, so that I don't have any illusions about him. Looking at Ling Hujue's eyes full of sadness, Mansi's heart was bitter and relieved at the same time.
Linghu didn't think as much as Mans, and his thoughts were still on Wesley's smile when he left. Turning his head slowly, he pulled Wesley's slowly cooling hand to his chest and muttered, "Wesley, my good brother, if you have a spirit, don't go far." Go to the battlefield with us during the day, come to our dreams at night when we sleep, I, Tuming, Xius, all of us are waiting for you in our dreams. As he spoke, his voice grew lower and lower, and the sound of his heartbeat seemed to be heard on the low ground.
The autumn wind blew the fallen leaves all over the ground, fluttering and sprinkling, and it was the first time for the blood eagles to see Ling Fox so sad, and the sourness in their hearts could not be expressed in words. They looked at Wesley with mournful eyes, at the stiff smile on his lips, and there was a sense of silence flowing silently in their hearts like smoke rising from the setting sun.
"Alright. Ling Hu Jue found a strong support for himself in his heart, he stood up, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then said in an extremely heavy tone, "It's not too early, let's hurry up and go to Qinghe Valley, Gretel, Christy, can you still hold on?"
His eyes were a little red, and Gretel straightened up, although the two knives on his leg and stomach were still aching, he still said nonchalantly, "It's okay, boss." β
"I'm fine. Christy took a step forward, holding the handle of the knife with his five fingers, looking like he was desperate. If it weren't for the bandages on his shoulders and legs, he wouldn't have been able to tell that he was an injured man.
"That's good. Linghu nodded resolutely and said, "Tuming, you take Wesley on your back, and when this battle is over, we will take him back to the tribe." βοΌ
"Yes. The Blood Eagles roared in unison, their words full of wind and cold. Although it was the first time they had watched their brothers who had grown up together die in front of their eyes, after all, they were used to seeing the sword and blood, and they had seen a lot of life and death parting, and after intense grief and indignation, they regained their previous toughness.
"Good. We're out. Ling Fox's expression also became indifferent, he pulled out the black dragon spear inserted in the ground, and strode towards the outside of the forest.
Seeing that there was a dead leaf between the silk of Ling Huju, Mansi, who followed closely behind him, hurriedly took two steps, stretched out his jade hand, and gently clamped it down.
But her slight movements still alarmed Ling Hujue, who turned his face slightly sideways, and his entire cheek was in an arc of sculptural lines. In this line, there is the most tempting temperament of a woman - melancholy, "Thank you, Mans." Linghu said thank you again, but in terms of tone, it was completely different from the thank you in the previous sentence.
Mansi felt the humility implied in this thank you, and the tip of her tongue was a little astringent, and said, "Childe, if it's for the actions just now, you don't need to say it." After a pause, she held the dead leaf in front of her, looked at it with misty eyes, and continued, "Childe, as a killer, the body is just a tool for me, I, I won't care. β
Linghu Jue knew that Mans's heart was not as easy as she said, but she didn't want to say any more, after all, many things could only be kept in her heart, not in her mouth. He nodded, his feet jerked, and his figure shot up like a falcon.
Immediately afterwards, Mansi, Tu Ming and others also rose from the ground and rushed towards the Qinghe Valley at a rapid pace.
At this time, in the handsome tent of the sand fox camp, Nangong Fu sat quietly behind the desk, and his cold eyes looked at the generals standing in front of him with a certain meaning. And his deputy, Lieutenant General Dai Wei, stood to his right and made a final statement about the battle just now, "Marshal, the enemy retreated quickly and resolutely, and it can be assumed that they were prepared before attacking our camp. β
"yes. The last general thinks so, too. General Murphy also bowed. He is very thin, the kind of thin without a little minced meat, but the strange thing is that he looks like he gives people a very powerful feeling, which should be related to the martial arts he practiced, and the domineering innocence he cultivates is a very domineering and strange kung fu.
Glancing at the Fire Dragon Sword hanging on the weapon rack with his eyes, Nangong Fu asked in a low tone, "What about the casualties of our army?"
"It's ββββββ. Dai Wei hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
"Bloody Blade, or you say. Nangong Fu didn't even look back.
"Yes. The bloody blade standing behind him bowed, his face as calm as the night without a trace of light, and the red birthmark was like a bloodmoon without light in the night. In addition to his martial arts, he and Iron Hand each have an ability. The ears of the iron hand are very sharp, and they can judge the number of horses based on the sound of the hooves of light and heavy cavalry. And his eyes were very bright, and he could analyze from the wounds of the deceased what kind of martial arts the murderer had reached. And Nangong Fu also assigned different tasks to the two of them according to their abilities, Iron Hand was responsible for reconnaissance, and he was responsible for the aftermath.
"My lord, there are not many casualties among the cavalry divisions and infantry divisions. But the Wizard Regiment and the Sand Dust Division suffered heavy casualties. The specific number is still being counted. β
After listening to the bloody answer, Nangong Fu didn't have any reaction. Now his whole mind was immersed in another question, "These cavalry of the Mingsi Empire have worked hard and made a big circle, is it just for such an attack?" This is unlikely. Isn't-"
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he was just about to speak, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps from outside, and an officer in armor ran in with an anxious face, no, it should be said that he had crashed in, his eyebrows were still covered with yellow sand, and he knelt on one knee and said in fear, "Marshalββββββ no-well, the Wild Lion Legion has rushed towards us." β
"What?" Seeing that the worry in his heart had become a fact, Nangong Fu immediately jumped twice, stood up, and shouted, "Come on, where are they going?"
Stammering, the officer lowered his head and did not dare to raise it, "No, two miles, and there is a cavalry in red armor, and there are quite a few of them." β
"The cavalry in red armor, could it be the Fire Phoenix Legion? Lieutenant General Dai Wei's heart was also tightened, he had dealt with the Fire Phoenix Legion before, and he knew how terrible that half-old's Fire Phoenix was. So, he hurriedly said, "Marshal, what should I do?"
Seeing that his subordinates, including Dai Wei and Mo Fei, were all frightened, Nangong Fu slapped the table and shouted, "What are you panicking, everyone will listen to the order." All kinds of methods of defense flew in his mind, and he reflexively ordered, "Now that our army has just been attacked by a sneak attack, morale is low, and there are many wounded, I am afraid it is impossible to hold the camp." General Dai, order you to lead the 8th Sand Camel Division to cover the retreat of the army to Tiger Pass. General Mo, I ordered you to lead the men and horses of your headquarters to follow this commander. β
"Yes. After receiving the order, the generals withdrew from the tent one after another. At this time, the faint sound of iron hooves had come from outside the tent, surging in this direction like a rolling sandstorm.
Taking the black cloak handed over by the iron hand, Nangong Fu's face became more and more solemn, and he looked coldly at the iron hand and the blood blade standing in front of him, "You two remember, if this commander is defeated in this battle, the two of you must kill the Mingsi kid just now, this person will become a big trouble for my dynasty sooner or later." β
"My lord. The iron hand and the blood blade spoke at the same time, but was stopped by Nangong Fu waving his hand, he took off the fire dragon sword, tied it around his waist, and said to himself, "Warcraft, elves, I can't imagine that there is such a person in the Mingsi Empire. β
"That's it, that's it. Nangong Fu stomped his foot fiercely and walked towards the outside of the tent. Outside the tent, tens of thousands of cavalrymen were quietly stationed, and they were lined up in a horizontal line of thousands of horsemen, all with solemn expressions and majestic momentum, but there seemed to be some kind of uneasiness hidden in this solemnity and majesty, and the restlessness made some mounts begin to hiss restlessly.
In the distance, it was even more chaotic, with the tents and tents of the barracks slanting and bending, and the grain, grass and weapons scattered all over the place. Soldiers in armor came and went, officers on horseback shouted loudly, and running soldiers cursed in low voices.
When he saw a military flag not far away that was burned and only half of it was black, fluttering slightly in the cold morning breeze, Nangong Fu not only felt a little emotion in his heart, "--I didn't expect that my Nangong Fu would also have a day when the army was defeated like a mountain." β
Stepping onto the mount brought by his own soldiers, Nangong Fu touched the horse's back with a complicated mood, and then roared, "Knights of the Liulai Empire, let the stabbing spears in our hands drink the blood of the enemy again, and victory must be ours." With his shout, tens of thousands of cavalrymen raised their bayonet guns one by one and shouted in unison, and for a while, they were also in high spirits.
Life is like this, in the same time period, many different things can be born. When Nangong Fu was urgently preparing for the war, Ling Hu Jue and the others had already rushed to Qinghe Valley.
The Qinghe Valley is a wetland with a radius of dozens of miles, with yellow reeds scattered on both sides. In the middle is a wide road covered with vegetation, but in autumn, most of the grass has withered, revealing ugly mud floors.
Ling Hu Jue met Tefaro in the thickest reeds among them, and Hughes, Reis, and the others, who had already arrived before them.
Seeing Ling Hujue, Xiusi's black face immediately lit up, and the original melancholy in his eyes was swept away, rubbing his hands full of old boils, and shouting excitedly, "Boss, you're back, I have good news to tell you." β
Reis was originally sitting, but when he saw Ling Hujue coming, he stood up, but his body shook a little.
"Lacey, you're hurt. Linghu Jue asked nervously.
"General Xie cares, the last general is only a little injured, and he is not in the way. Lacey bowed gratefully.
After shaking hands with Tefaro, Linghu Jue asked, "Is it all arranged?" Tefaro nodded, his handsome face was no less arrogant than that of Xius, "I have sent someone to keep an eye on the gate of the enemy's camp, as long as the enemy moves, news will come immediately." β
Linghu Jue knew that the elves had many special methods of communication, so he didn't ask any more, but turned his face to Xius and Lacey and said, "Tell me about your casualties first?" Although he wanted to know what Xius's good news meant, what he was most concerned about was whether his army had been rubbed in this battle again.
Speaking of the battle, Xiusi's mood was even better, and he said with a smile, "Hehe-the casualties are not big, boss, if you hadn't set the time for retreat, those cavalry under my command would have been able to kill at least 10,000 people." β
"What about you?" Seeing that Lacey was a little difficult to answer, Ling Hu Jue knew that he might be in trouble.
Reis said with some shame, "General, I went straight to the middle camp according to your orders, but halfway through the road was surrounded by the hoplite division, the leader of the troops was a thin man, but his kung fu was very domineering, and the casualties of our army were not small." β
Ling Hu Jue patted him on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "It's not your fault, it's that we underestimated the enemy's strength. β
Seeing that Ling Hujue's face was not good, and he came back late, Reis guessed that Ling Hujue's action might not be smooth. So, he nodded quietly and sat down.
The reed leaves swayed slightly, and Manse walked in. "Theseus, can I tell you good news now?" Ling Hu Jue plucked a leaf, rubbed it between his fingers, and the pieces fell.
I always feel that the boss is a little strange today, but I don't know what happened. Hughes glanced at Manse, and even the words of good news were not as happy as they were just now, "Boss, I met the Demon Moon on the way here. β
Linghu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "It, how is it?"
"It's hurt, it's not light, and now it's in the reeds on the left, Sisi is trying to heal. β
"It must have been done by the Iron Guard. Linghu Jue thought fiercely in his heart, he turned sideways and said to Mans, "Let's go, let's go see it." β
At this moment, a black figure flashed forward, it was an elven archer in a cloak. He looked at Tefaro, then lowered his voice towards Linghu Jue, "There is a signal from the front, the enemy has already left the camp. β
"Good. Ling Hu Jue dispelled the idea of going to see the Demon Moon, he turned around and said to Reis and Xiusi, "The two of you immediately lead the men and horses of the headquarters to ambush and retreat a mile back to ambush, as long as there is an arrow here, you will immediately rush over." β
Hughes and Lacey nodded and left together.
By this time, it was already dawn. οΌ
