After a thrilling plan, Diao Si finally snatched some food from the camp and passed a critical step. But the Imperial Army was still chasing after them, and they had to continue fleeing. Under the current circumstances, the only way forward was to return to Ruifeng City, which Diao Si had not yet touched.
After they dealt with the small group of imperial troops who were chasing them, the sniper team actually caught up. It's great. They are really elites. Diao Si plans to further strengthen them and establish a squad leader.
But then there is another trouble to deal with, that is, the wounded soldiers in this battle, the seriously injured and sacrificed ones have been left in the camp. There are so many twenty or thirty people, and carrying them will inevitably affect the marching speed.
The imperial army's internecine fighting over there has ended, and they are about to catch up. Now the marching speed is very important. The enemy is still too strong, and they are unable to fight against it.
After hesitating, Diao Si gathered all the wounded soldiers and divided them into two teams. One team ambush on the road, and the other team marched in the other direction behind the ambush team.
This is undoubtedly to use them to draw the Imperial Army away and give the large army time to escape. Those wounded soldiers may have thought of something, but this was a military order, and they still obeyed as always.
In order to encourage them and make the uninjured long-eared guys more willing to follow Diao Si, he deliberately left a lot of food and sophisticated equipment for the injured soldiers, and then led the large army away.
"Captain, should we find a place to stop for breakfast?" The old guy reminded Diao Si at this time that he couldn't blame him, not only him, everyone was already hungry.
"No, we must not stop. ... Try to distribute some food to everyone and let them eat on the road." After Diao Si gave the order, he found something to eat first. He had not eaten for a long time.
However, after eating, a new problem emerged. It was the habit here to rest after eating. Diao Si also felt very tired and wanted to sleep. This way the marching speed slowed down, and those long-eared guys were all in low spirits.
This is another useless thing. If you forcefully march without rest, your speed will be affected to a certain extent, and this effect will become more and more serious. But if you rest, it will be easy for the imperial troops to catch up.
It's better to rest, because they can't return to Ruifeng City without rest, especially if they encounter an enemy, how can they fight in their current state? There is no way to continue walking until you have rested. You can only hope that the wounded soldiers will hold the enemy back for a while.
So Diao Si chose a remote place and let all the long-eared guys go to sleep, leaving only the wind-listening dog monster to watch. But this rest period is very short, and they cannot stay for too long in their current environment.
Diao Si was also very tired. He had not fully adapted to this world since he arrived, especially during such a long day. The two suns that he could usually see... were too many and too different.
Well, since you have decided to rest, you have to rest well and don't think about anything. But how could Diao Si sleep peacefully because he was always thinking about the enemy chasing behind him? Even though he always asked himself to sleep, it still took him a long time to fall asleep gradually.
"Brother Diao... Brother Diao..." Are they the voices of Fatty and Xiaoshuai? Diao Si opened his eyes, it was really them, great, everything before was just a dream
No, wouldn’t there be no more beads? When Diao Si thought here, he immediately touched the beads in his arms. Fortunately, they were still there. But this is abnormal. If I have been dreaming, why would the beads be inside
"Do you really want to return to your world?" An old voice rang. This voice was quite familiar. Diao Si had already thought of who it was. When he looked up, he saw that it was indeed the man with white hair all over his body. Bearded old guy.
"Old ghost, why do you keep pestering me? Who are you? A wizard? A ghost? What the hell did I do to you!" Diao Si was filled with anger. This old guy really upset him.
"I'm your fault, am I pestering you? Do I need to pester a young boy like you? I originally planned to tell you something, but let's forget it now." The old guy turned around angrily .
Tell me something? It seems that this old guy doesn't have any ill intentions. Yes, he has never had any ill intentions. Maybe it's just a small misunderstanding.
Thinking of this, Diao Si immediately changed his tone and said to him: "Damn... old guy, you should have told me your identity and purpose of coming, so that there would be no misunderstanding. ... Do you want to tell me something? Now I'm listening carefully."
Only then did the old guy turn his head and his expression improved, and said to Diao Si strangely: "I know many, many things, including the Nima Empire and the Upanishad that you really want to know."
What? Diao Si was happy when he heard these terms. This old guy was really not an ordinary person. He also knew what Diao Si needed to know, so Diao Si quickly asked him where the Nima Empire and the Upanishad were.
But the old guy didn't answer. He turned around and flew away in the direction of the smoke in the distance.
"Holy shit, what do you mean, you're trying to seduce me without saying anything..." Diao Si pursued and asked, because the Nima Empire and the Upanishad were too important to him, and he couldn't let this person know about it like this. The old guy who knew the inside story was gone.
However, the old guy didn't look back and continued to fly away, leaving only one sentence: "Now is not the time to say this. I will tell you when the time comes. You'd better wake up now."
wake up? Diao Si opened his eyes again, but everything in front of him was completely different. It was the wind-listening dog monster, barking at him. It seemed that he had overslept. When he thought about the imperial troops who wanted to take his life, he lost all sleep.
"How is it? How is the situation now?" Diao Si asked nervously, standing up again to observe the surrounding situation.
"The Imperial Army came around behind us while we were sleeping and blocked our only way back to the city." The old guy with long ears replied nervously.
Now there was trouble again, so Diao Si drew a simple map on the ground, and then studied their current location with them, as well as the location of Ruifeng City and the location of the Imperial Army.
Sure enough, the Imperial Army had sealed almost the only passage. They were very smart. Because they could not determine the specific location of Diao Si's troops, they sealed their retreat first so that Diao Si and the others could not escape.
How to do it? Diao Si was in no hurry to march, because they couldn't escape at all. He had to find a way to pass, but it was impossible to break through forcefully, and the disguise had already been used, so it would definitely not be effective.
"Why can't these locations be bypassed?" Diao Si analyzed and pointed to a straight line location between them and Ruifeng City.
"There are some high mountains there that cannot be climbed, and there will be border defenders in some locations close to them..." The old guy explained, and Diao Si was very disappointed.
"No, there is a position that can be passed. I have been there before, and there are no defenders there." Unexpectedly, the dog monster also spoke this time. Judging from its happy expression when speaking, this must be true.
"Okay, let's go there for a walk." Diao Si responded, immediately giving the order to prepare to set off.
The old guy hasn't turned around yet. He didn't expect Diao Si to suddenly follow the dog monster's plan, and he still had some doubts in his heart. In fact, Diao Si had no choice, because other than the dog monster's plan, he had no other ideas.
"By the way, what's your name?" Diao Si thought for a moment and then turned back to ask the dog monster.
"Master, my name is Tintin." Tintin replied.
Diao thought about it for a moment, and there is a saying that goes, "A prosperous person does not make a fortune." This is not conducive to making money, so he said to Ding Ding: "This name doesn't sound good. You might as well change your name to Wangcai."
"Prosperous wealth? What does this mean?" Ding Ding asked confused.
Diao Si looked at his silly expression and simply explained: "This name is the code name of a famous aristocratic dog over there, and the dogs over there are all vying to use it."
Tintin probably believed it and turned around in confusion. Diao Si also looked at the distant mountains in confusion. His journey in this world had just begun, but he couldn't lose so quickly. This would affect his reputation in the gaming world. (To be continued)
