At dusk, Lake and the Leprosy King walked side by side, a temporary detention center surrounded by stone walls, with torches reflecting the silhouettes of the defenders every three feet away.
Along the way, all the soldiers in Luoxing City saw Lake and the Leprosy King straighten their backs. From time to time, people pounded their breastplate with their right hand, and their eyes were burning.
"Where is this?"
Under the flames, Lake and Polo both found that the building was of a large scale.
"While most of the Sri people were killed by us, there were still some who were imprisoned here."
The Leprosy King said, his metal mask reflected the pulsating fire, leading Poro and Lek to one of the prisons.
Inside are several Sri people.
He was removed from his armor, naked, and his body showed unhealthy blue-black.
Unlike ordinary prison cells, in this detention center, all the detained Sri people were silent and had no intention of fighting or attacking, they just seemed a little stunned.
It seems like losing the consciousness of a normal person.
"After we fought with the Sri army, I found that after killing all the special commanders in a Sri army, these ordinary Sri army would lose their violent or bloodthirsty state under the influence of the star barrier."
The Leprosy King took a few people and went to the next prison, and several people were imprisoned in each prison.
But these Sri people have no desire to communicate, but they are still like ordinary creatures - but they have not lost their habits as humans, but they have become a little passive and will not be unable to take care of themselves.
Simply put, they did not do anything extra.
Just eating the food served, with no eyes on the spirit, and no desires that humans should have.
"So, will the star barrier heal them to a certain extent?"
"No, the weirdness in their bodies is just lurking. If a special commander of Sri comes, they will become bloodthirsty warriors again."
The Leprosy King shook his head and sighed.
After several circles in the corridor, a special room, in which several doctors in Luoxing City and several silver robes were surrounding something.
Lake walked up to see an operating table, on which was a dead Swiss soldier.
"This Sri may have been a tailor before."
A doctor pointed to the callous position of Sriren's hand and said, "He is very thin and shouldn't have been a soldier."
Hearing this, the leprosy king picked up the doctor's record book again, and on it, he wrote several different autopsy reports of the Sri people.
Laike and Polo noticed that in the report, there were even more varied speculations on the identity of Sweden.
And age is even more wide.
"The soldiers of the Sri people were originally ordinary people. They were controlled by some kind of vicious spell, and their souls were infected with some kind of infection, and they became like this."
The conclusions drawn by the Leprosy King also confirm the previous discoveries of Poluo and others.
After that, the Leprosy King pointed to a map on the wall, which was the land occupied by the Sri Kingdom, and several cities or villages on it had been marked with key symbols.
At the top of each city, there are numbers ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands.
"Even with your help, the range of influence of the Star Enchantment is not large. If we want to launch a counterattack and attack the Sri Capital, there are more than ten cities or villages and towns we have to pass."
"It's hard to fight, right?"
"Yes, the only good news is that there are not many special Sri officers who can control the army, so their expeditionary army will not hit us for the time being."
As he spoke, the Leprosy King took a deep breath, "We are the kingdom that has fought against the Sri Kingdom for the longest time. I know them a lot. I have calculated their strength.
If we want to counterattack, in every city or village, we will face more than ten times ours. ”
Lake and Polo understand the meaning of the Leprosy King.
Whether it is an old man, a child, or an ordinary craftsman or a citizen, he will become a bloodthirsty soldier under the magic of the Sri Kingdom.
"We can find special commanders in the army to kill. We have such ability, but we also need military support."
"Our army, Goethe, Sadi, will also fight with you..."
"But it's not enough."
The Leprosy King shook his head, "These countries that have been invaded by the Sri Kingdom alone are far from enough. We need more allies and more troops to resist and even counterattack them."
"So, you mean let us..."
"Through the blockade of the Sri Kingdom and to the Hangte Kingdom, the army that this country has was the strongest in the past."
The Leprosy King pointed to another direction on the map, also a country bordering the Sri Kingdom. Judging from the area and diagram, the territory of this country is covered by vast forests.
If one day the army can really counterattack into the Sri Kingdom.
Then there is no doubt that this Hangte Kingdom will become the rear of the Sri Kingdom. If it is annexed, the Sri Kingdom will gain more powerful power.
"I sent not only one messenger, but the kingdom refused to form an alliance - they probably didn't know the seriousness of the problem."
The Leprosy King said seriously, "But I am sure that the Kingdom of Sri has not had time to use troops to them yet. We must first form an alliance with them. Even if they refuse, we cannot let them fall to the other side of the Kingdom of Sri."
...
"Hey, I'm going to set out again. Xingluocheng hasn't been there for long."
Lake yawned and put some luggage in the carriage.
Several warriors from Goethe's Kingdom and Princess Marlene came to say goodbye, and they all had a hint of apology on their faces.
This time, as the messenger, only Laike and Poluo.
Envoys and soldiers from countries such as Goethe and Sadi need to serve as contacts in Xingluo City and contact the army led by the Happy Prince.
As for why no soldiers followed Lake and Polo...
The previous process of reaching Xingluo City through blockade reflects the reason. For Laike and Poluo, ordinary soldiers are more like burdens than help.
What's more, this time the route almost spans the Sri Kingdom.
"I hope this war can end soon."
Lake waved goodbye to Princess Marlene and others. The number of people in this "compulsory group" was much smaller than before, and some of them died as soldiers in the battle with King Sri.
Another part...
"Where are those messengers from Oz?"
Lake asked, looking at Princess Marlene.
"They..."
Princess Marlene hesitated for a moment and said, "I have never seen them since the day Oz went to death."
"They left? Where did they go? Didn't they leave anything?"
"No, nothing."
Princess Marlene shrugged, "After all, it's her own people, no one will monitor them, and they have taken away all their things, money and horses, and there is no sign of anything."
When Poluo heard this, he suddenly thought of the suitcase Oz carried, the silver shoes in it, and the magical golden crown.
Didn't stay?
He is a smart magician, a mortal, but can participate in so many things.
Is he really dead?
Poluo thought of that day, the figure strangled by King Sri's sword light instantly - body, smell... There is no doubt that it was the Oz in his memory, who would definitely not survive under such an attack!
But before he decided to die, he did not reveal anything.
Those two magic items were not left or arranged to return, and even a letter of farewell was not left. In such a siege war, his magic apprentices could leave quietly in a short period of time - these things were by no means something that ordinary people could achieve!
Oz, where is it? The devil has arrived there, but where did he arrive?
Poluo recalls the map of the Kingdom of Sri.
But in the surrounding area, I can't imagine how to stuff the magic French Domain called "Oz".
"Forget it, since you are an ally, you will always encounter it in the war against the Sri Kingdom in the future, right?"
The carriage left Xingluo City and headed towards the star barrier not far away.
On both sides, the silver-armored soldiers looked at the frame. Their eyes were like stars in the sky. Suddenly, a soldier turned his fingers into a fist and hit his breastplate hard.
After that, the second and third...
The sound of knocking is like a wave, and it is like offering one's own prayers and war songs to the hero who set out again.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"It seems that I have been a hero again, Lake."
Poluo looked at the girl, and Lake's eyes were staring at the scene of Xingluo City outside. Although he was silent, the slightly raised corners of his mouth had already shown the joy of the girl's mood.
"Puluo, at the beginning, when we embarked on a journey, did you ever think of such a day?"
Lake stroked Xingkill Sword, and the sword body made a clear sound, reflecting some starlight. In Xinglou City, Xingkill Sword seemed to have become more active.
"But now I find that it doesn't seem that simple to be a hero in a storybook or story..."
"Yes, we are not kings, and the devil has not harmed our interests. Why did he agree to their request?"
Poluo suddenly laughed and asked.
"For whether it is the leprosy king or the happy prince, what they do is not themselves."
Lake whispered, "Although they have such a high status, they are not better than others in food, clothing, housing and transportation. They use their abilities to take on more responsibilities - I think they are good people."
The closer we are to the star barrier, the magic starry sky in the sky becomes even more dimmer.
On the ground, flesh and blood were still mixed in the mud on the battlefield, emitting an unspeakable smell.
"Puluo, you said that the world we are in is a fairy tale world..."
Lake's face, under the starlight, was filled with a dreamy light, "In fairy tales, good people should be helped, right?"
"Yes, that's it."
Poluo was stunned for a moment and nodded, "In fairy tales, good people should be helped. No matter how strong the evil people are, they will always achieve the final victory."
The star barrier is already close at hand, and the starlight that forms the barrier is connected to the sky. Among them, the nebula flows slowly, and star clusters of large and small are scattering colorful glow.
"Puluo, you said before that those stars are the farther sun and moon..."
"It's also possible, it's a world like our feet."
"The world under our feet? Are there many fairy tales like us?"
"Yes, maybe there are people living on those stars."
"Will there be such wars in those worlds?"
"Maybe there, maybe not."
"Does the Little Red Riding Hood there have their own wolf companions?"
"Haha, there may be some, but I think... we must be the best-knit wolf and Little Red Riding Hood!"
While speaking, the carriage had crossed the star barrier.
In a blink of an eye, day and night are easier.
The starry sky disappeared, but at the horizon, the fireball-like sun rose to the blue sky, glowing with a huge glow.
...
"In the northeast, there are outposts from the Sri people on the top of the mountain, be cautious."
Follow the war zone, head to the Hangt Kingdom on the other side of the Sri Kingdom, this time, although there is a more detailed map provided by the Leprosy King.
But the blockade of territory by the Sri Kingdom was even more tight.
Therefore, this journey is more difficult than going to the Kingdom of Goethe before.
"As expected, as what Xingluo City Information said, the Sri Kingdom has given up disguising."
Laike and Polo have given up walking on the road.
Through their outstanding detection capabilities, they chose remote mountain roads. Even so, they passed many outposts of the Sri people - the size of the Sri people's army was enough to support their outpost network in China.
Through the gap between a bush, Poluo looked at another outpost of the Sri people.
Behind the outpost, there is a pit filled with bodies.
Most of the bodies, judging from their clothes, were caravans and refugees.
"If these devils succeed, will the whole world become like that?"
On the way through the Kingdom of Sri, Poro and Lek saw with their own eyes that were filled with corpses - no passers-by.
And in the corpse, Poluo even saw many people in aristocratic outfits.
"They killed all those who did not belong to Sri. This is no longer a country, but a complete demon cave."
Compared with the previous one, the autonomy of the Sri defenders was once again weakened.
They were like puppets after puppet, standing there in a daze, waiting to kill everyone passing by.
No manager who is a human being...
In other words, the ruling class has all become monsters acting for destruction like devils.
Under such circumstances, the so-called "smuggling convoy" disappeared.
Through the forest, in the distance, there is another rice field, with weeds growing, but no one harvested them. The city is quiet, with defenders standing on the city, but it is more like a dead land.
As time passed, finally, the last Sri city disappeared from the horizon behind him.
Through a forest, a new city appeared not far away.
The citizens here all seem to be more powerful than elsewhere. Many hunters carrying prey walk through the forest beside them...
No, it’s not just hunters, but also many people dressed in mercenaries are heading towards the Hangte Kingdom.
"Is the Hangte Kingdom expanding its army?"
During his observation, Poluo did not feel the strangeness of the Sri Kingdom in these people, which made him feel relieved, "Are they already guarding against Sri's invasion? Perhaps, things will be much easier."
While thinking, the carriage drove into the Kingdom of Hang Tseng.
On both sides of the road, many hunters were paving stalls and selling their prey.
The Kingdom of the Specials, the capital of the hunter. (This chapter ends)
