Chapter 1798 Turnaround III
The sky was getting brighter, and the lasing current in the city showed no signs of fading. Fried had no choice but to issue a second retreat order: "All parts withdraw from the upper city range. , retreated down the mountain, and deployed troops to control the roads near Baishuang City and defend them. Stop the transfer of the remaining forces of Midgart. Inform Mad Shark Sarver to be careful and don’t let the king of Midgart escape!”
Mad Shark Sarver did not participate in the siege of White Frost City. He led a group of troops into several teams and guarded several key roads south and southwest of Midgard. If the people of Hoarfrost City want to flee to the Rhine Kingdom or the Storm Kingdom in the south, they must pass through these days.
The place where he is now is a main road just south of Baishuang City, dozens of miles away. Of course, not only the main roads, but also the small roads in the mountains and wild areas, he has sent spies. If anything is discovered, they will be reported to him immediately. He sat on two munitions boxes, smoking a cigar in boredom, looking to the north and muttering to himself: "I don't know what the battle situation is like in Baishuang City. With so many refugees escaping, we should probably capture it." ”
At this time, it was already dark here. There should be many carriages and horses on this main road, but due to the war, there were very few people on the road, which was convenient. They arrest people.
Suddenly, several spies who had been sent out hurriedly ran over, shouting loudly from a distance: "General Safo, General Safo..."
Safo didn't say unhappily until they ran in: " I'm in a panic, why are my men so useless! What's going on?"
The spy didn't dare to talk back. , just said: "General Sarver, there is something moving behind, something seems not right."
The rear they were talking about was to the south. Sarver stood on the box and looked to the south: "What's wrong? I can't say anything." I didn’t see it.”
The spy said: “There is an army coming this way from the south.”
"Army!" Sarver was very surprised: "What army, how many people?"
"I don't know. There is a lot of smoke and dust billowing on the ground," the spy said.
Safo was suspicious and muttered: "The one in the south is the army of the Storm Country? No, the marshal sent a peace envoy to the Storm Country to negotiate. Could it be that the negotiation was not successful? That will not come either way. So fast!" He patted his subordinate's arm and asked him to summon his griffin mount and fly to the south. Not flying far, I saw a cloud of smoke and dust coming from the south. He quickly took out his binoculars and took a look, only to see a flying flag in the dust and smoke spreading in the wind.
“It’s the flag of the Storm Kingdom!” His subordinate officers also saw it.
"How could it be? Even if the negotiation fails, considering the time, they shouldn't send out the army so quickly!" Safo immediately understood: "Damn it, the Storm Kingdom has been preparing to take action for a long time. I'm afraid the marshal's envoy hasn't arrived yet. When they get there, their troops have already set off! They must inform the Generalissimo immediately!”
...
In the mountain forest outside Baishuang Shangcheng, the mummy, the gladiator, and the sand dragon were tying a family of refugees to a tree with the ropes used to tie the boxes.
There are five people in this family, both old and young. The elder is a high-ranking official in Baishuang City and has royal blood. They originally planned to disperse the servants, but only brought the most valuable and important ones with them. He came out with a few things, fled from the small mountain road in the back mountain to the bottom of the valley, and then waited for an opportunity to leave. Unexpectedly, he avoided the fire of war, but ran into these bandits. As a result, he was beaten up by these three people and had his baggage taken away from him.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch.” The old man groaned in pain on the tree: “Please let us go, we don’t have anything valuable, we are just ordinary civilians.”
The mummy didn’t believe it: “Are there any civilians living in Baishuang Upper City?”
The old man said with a sad face: "Oh, it's true. We didn't come to the city, we hid from... from other villages. I didn't lie to you."
"Who are we lying to?" The mummy pointed. The five of them said: "Look, how many of you Look at each other. You look like a person who is doing things all day long and doesn't have to work for you. How can ordinary people take good care of themselves? Look at this woman's young and beautiful skin. She was wearing ordinary clothes and had such shiny nails on her hands. Oil. I won’t even believe it when I say you are civilians! Let me tell you, we are not fools like those pirates on the coast. We are sand pirates in the northern desert. We can tell at a glance what the poor are like in this area. You must be a fool like this Officials, and high-ranking civilian officials are not officers who lead troops to fight. To tell you the truth, if you were officers, we would not rob you, because the fleeing officers will not get anything good. "
< br>The old man was speechless. Sha Jiao sat aside and didn't do anything. He just said: "Stop talking nonsense to them and take a look at what's in their bags."
The gladiator was unpacking, and there were only three bags in it. When opened, there are some daily necessities and a change of clothes.
"Damn, it's just so tattered." The mummy was unwilling to give in and searched carefully, but couldn't find anything good.
The kidnapped person had something to say again: "My dad said that we are not rich people, we are just civilians passing by. You can't get anything good from us."
The gladiator looked at the sand dragon and said, "What should I do? I searched these people and found no valuable treasures."
The mummy scratched her head unwillingly: "Impossible, did I make a mistake?"
The sand dragon stared at the five people like a snake, and suddenly sneered: "There are also sand pirates among us. According to your own rules, you have to take something away. If you can’t steal the money, then take their lives!”
When the five people heard this, they immediately cried out for mercy. The mummy understood and continued: "Yes, our laws cannot be changed. But before killing them, you can still rob them of sex. You see, this woman is still very interesting. She will be happy after a while, and she will be very ecstatic. ."
year The young woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. She shouted, "Don't take it. Don't take it. Don't take it. Don't take it. Don't take it. Don't take it. Don't take it anymore. Don't hide it anymore. Give it to them. Money is not more important than life."
Old Man The middle-aged man glared at the woman fiercely.
The mummy smiled: "That's right. It's a good choice to save life or wealth. Don't end up losing both people and money."
The old man said helplessly: "Then let's I gave you the money, you have to let us go.”
The middle-aged man worriedly said: "Father, don't believe them. What if they don't keep what they say?"
Sha Jiao laughed in a high-pitched voice: "If you don't tell me, I will kill you with my finger right now." Cut it off, do you want to give it a try?"
The old man sighed: "Oh, son, stop struggling, our lives are in their hands now, we can only trust them. They are just doing it for money, why do they want our lives?"
The mummy nodded: "Old man, you understand, I am not confused yet."
The old man said: " When I was fighting with you just now, I asked my grandson to throw the valuable baggage into a nearby dirt hole during the chaos. You will definitely find it there.”
The mummy volunteered: "I'll go and have a look. If you dare to lie to me, you won't survive."
Looking for the direction the old man said, it didn't take the mummy a few minutes to find a small soil hole, not far away. There was a brown cloth bag hidden inside the hole. When I picked up the baggage, I could hear the tinkling bells inside. When I opened it, it was sparkling inside. They were really worth tens of thousands of dollars.
The mummy was excited and was about to go back when he suddenly stopped and listened: "Who is it, come out! I have discovered you. If you don't come out, I will take action!"
