Volume 1 Dream Treading Dust Chapter 06 Wind Clan Outcast
It was late at night, but the camp in Virginia was still brightly lit.
After that nightmarish battle, the elite troops re-encamped near Warlock Canyon in the north.
Ernest and Phoenixin came from far west and walked all the way outside the tent. It's a very empty land, and it's still some way from the city of the Violet Empire.
The two of them didn't say too much along the way, and their expressions were extremely heavy.
The Virginia Empire suffered its most humiliating defeat in history. The Wind Nation has always been the most arrogant and arrogant, they are the most important element, they have the protection of the god of the north wind, the great holy monarch, and even the most proficient "puppet manipulation" spirit in the whole continent was born on their land, in their hearts, their own country will rule the continent sooner or later......
But he lost to the mercenaries of the Gerry Empire.
The battlefield of the Wind Empire is not the main battlefield. The forces of the Fire Empire fought for several days outside the royal capital of Violet, but they were unable to breach this last gate. The elite troops seized the opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob and raided from the rear, but they did not expect to be beaten by the crane tail team of only ten fire spirit masters.
None of the surviving soldiers in the army dared to speak up about it. They scrambled to prepare, wiping their bloodied leather armor and weapons.
These useless moves are all done to deceive oneself in disguise. The disguise of shame.
Including Ernest, I still can't figure it out.
"Do you want to go in?"
"I wasn't prepared. Ernest hesitated for a few seconds before he spoke: "Fengyin, don't send a letter to His Majesty the King, this is not the real strength of our army. β
Feng Yin shook his head helplessly and said, "Of course, I have a sense of proportion. So far, it's useless to say anything, and it's best to keep it a secret from your people until we fight a good fight. It's just that...... Let's go first and see the little brother named Bai Lianzhou, he hasn't woken up yet. β
As soon as Feng Yin's words came out, he unsurprisingly saw Ernest's tightly clenched hand. He didn't speak again, just waited quietly for his decision.
At last, Ernest reached out and lifted the curtain of the tent, and immediately there was a commotion in the crowd.
- "See the Patriarch of the Spirit Clan, the Patriarch of the Illusion Clan. β
In the camp tent, countless eyes shot at the two of them, as if someone was constantly scratching the skin with the back of a knife, which didn't hurt, but made Feng Yin feel uncomfortable. Surrounded by a single bed in the center, on which lay a comatose teenager, dressed in brand new clothes, but covered with bandages and gauze, and with blood and dust on the side of the bed.
"How's he?" said Feng Yin, who spoke for Ernest first.
"It's still the same, it's the third day, and the hope will only get slimmer day by day......" The witch doctor closest to the bed took the lead in speaking, "You also know that the spiritual power circuit is like the blood vessels of spiritual power, and in a situation like his, it is like breaking all the meridians in the body, even if he can survive, he is still a wasted person......"
"Be clear, and you'll be in the best case. Ernest listened impatiently and interrupted the witch doctor.
"Yes, yes, if it drags on any longer, the best-case scenario...... That is, he can wake up......"
Can he wake up...... Five harsh words reached Ernest's ears, full of despair. The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and his palms clenched harder.
The nails were deeply embedded in the palms, but the pain was no longer significantβ
The longbowed fire master was not Karen Sissel, the leader of the mercenaries.....
Who is he?
"Patriarch ......," a soldier led by a soldier reminded in a deep voice.
"We can't do without astrologers in our ranks. Ernest took a few deep breaths and put on a black hood to shield his eyes.
Everyone heard the indifference in his tone, and after a brief silence, countless figures knelt down.
Ernest looked coldly at the people who were kneeling down, and asked in a flat tone, "The astrological spirit is seriously ill and still unable to fight. In Bai Lianzhou's family, is there an astrologer who can succeed him? If you can do the simplest divination, we Virginians will never back down. β
"We can't afford to gamble, Ernest. Feng Yin's eyes swept in front of the crowd, and he smiled a little bitterly and self-deprecatingly, "We have lost many excellent spiritual magicians, and it is unknown whether Bai Lianzhou can return to Virginia alive, and it is still ...... now."
When the crowd heard Feng Yin's words, there was another commotion.
"It's not a way to spend it here!"
"Hey, this time it's really disgraced the face of our Virginia Empire. β
"According to me, let's leave him and go back, in a situation like him, his spiritual power circuit is broken, even if he asks the best witch doctor, he can't cure him, what are you doing with all this energy?"
"That's enough!" Ernest rubbed his frowning brows and interrupted their discussion in a loud voice, "Whether Bai Lianzhou's future is dead or alive is not something you need to worry about, you just need to tell me if there is anyone in the astrology clan who can take on this responsibility, understand?"
Listening to the bursts of discussion from the crowd, the bitter expression on Feng Yin's face was even more a little more, it seemed that Ernest had made up his mind, and it was not something he could change with a few words.
"I heard before that Bai Lianzhou also has a younger sister, although she is young, but her spiritual power is outstanding, and her abilities are similar to her brother's, she should be a good candidate. β
"That's right, she's the seed candidate of our astrology clan, according to her development momentum, when she's seventeen or eighteen years old, I don't know how many times stronger than her brother......"
"Their family is really powerful, and there are so many talented descendants that they can't be compare......d."
"Hey......" Feng Yin sighed inexplicably, interrupting everyone's discussion, and everyone looked in Ernest's direction with bated breath.
"That's it, let's disperse. Ernest frowned slightly, and ignored the rabble, but simply threw down a sentence and walked out of the tent on his own.
Feng Yin took three steps and two steps to barely keep up with Ernest's footsteps, and he was so fast that he almost lost his footsteps if he was not careful. The anger in the man's body was surging, helpless, and unwilling...... Feng Yin couldn't think of anything to persuade him for a while, so he had to keep moving forward like this.
It wasn't until he ran hundreds of meters outside the tent that he stopped.
Seeing that Ernest didn't speak for a long time, Feng Yin opened his mouth a little stiffly: "Now that you are finally willing to make a decision, patriarch?
As soon as he said this, Fengyin regretted it, and he clearly felt that the spiritual power in Ernest's body was like a vast ocean, and he was deliberately ready to attack it in the burning anger. He immediately changed his tune and said, "I mean, the sacrifice is already very heavy, and if we continue, we will not be able to stop the loss at all." β
"I'm not angry, you can say whatever you want. Soon, Ernest hid his anger.
Feng Yin sighed and said, "Ernest, after that war, the mercenary group of the Fire Empire will be famous throughout the continent. No one will remember that a Virginian army appeared outside of St. Randall. If the morale of the army continues to be low, the news will be transmitted back to China sooner or later. At the moment, you and I should be concerned about the whole of Virginia, and if this continues, our loss will not only be an astrologer, but I am afraid that all the benefits, the gold-inlaid stone pillars on the walls of St. Randle, will have to be fished out by those miscellaneous pieces of the Gerry Empire!"
Ernest glanced at Feng Yin's serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Before, Bai Lianzhou told me that he had a major astrological discovery, but he didn't disclose the details. I saw that you were in high spirits to discuss with him that day, have you heard of this?"
Feng Yin shook his head: "I haven't gotten to that level with him. However, I can pass the boy's diary to the astrologer and let him do the divination. β
"Okay, do it as soon as possible. If it's insignificant, you don't have to talk to me about it. If Bai Lianzhou's death can be exchanged for useful information now, it is also an acceptable choice. Ernest turned, his brow full of indescribable sadness, "...... what they just said"
"That little girl, you can rest assured that I have also had a relationship with her, and she is indeed a good seedling, if there is an emergency, there is absolutely no problem. β
Ernest's face was buried a little deeper, and he stood stiffly in place.
Feng Yin seemed to understand Ernest's thoughts, and said in a cautious tone: "Actually, it's not impossible to save Bai Lianzhou, you've probably heard of it...... There is a kind of spiritual energy on this Phantom Capital Continent, called 'Zhen Shi Duel', right? In this war, there are some rumors that it is now in the body of a certain spiritual magician in the Violet Empire. If we get him, don't say that we save Bai Lianzhou, every battle in the future Virginia Empire will be invincible and invincible. β
Ernest replied coldly: "Feng Yin, the confidence you have gained from the fight with Bai Lianzhou is all about pondering this kind of thing?"
"Ernest, we've been here for a while, and you've experienced the strength of their mercenary forces. The burns you suffered that day, even if you use your spiritual power to recover, haven't you completely healed them until now? With the few defeated soldiers of the Violet Empire, you have never suspected that the 'Zhenshi Decision' is secretly playing a role in the future?"
"Even if the town world is decided, I naturally have a way to solve it. Ernest looked disdainful, "In this world, the last thing I am afraid of is the town of the world. You don't have to speculate, I'll make a move at the critical moment. β
"You've grown bold, Master Ernest. Feng Yin joked as he put one shoulder against Ernest's arm, "Two years ago, you weren't as timid as you are now, and you were willing to listen to fate. Is it that after losing his eyes, his strength is not as good as it was back then?"
"I don't mind letting the Virginia Empire's army have one more piece of waste like a white boat. β
Feng Yin smiled: "Cut, I'm afraid of you." I can't afford to joke at all. β
Ernest snorted coldly, and without hesitation, jumped into a cloud of air and flew towards the camp in Virginia.
