Xia Ya laughed dryly: "Anyway, if you are walking, you will be idle if you are idle. If you talk casually, it will be easier to travel."
He immediately changed the subject and said, "You said you received a message from Merlin's crow messenger that day, and then what?"
"Then... Then my old man naturally went out. I haven't seen her for many years, although I know she is a little secret treasure for us old guys, but after all, she can still think of saying hello, and I can be regarded as her. Love, I originally wanted to throw something over as a gift, but I don’t know which part of my mind was wrong. Maybe it was because I lived in the mountains for too long, I was very busy, and I wanted to take the opportunity to come out and do activities. After walking, just come and go in person, my old man will come to congratulate you on the wedding in person, your face is too big."
Xia ignored the old guy's boast and said with a smile, "After you went out, you came all the way to Denzel City?"
"..." Old Aslan suddenly closed his mouth, the expression on his face embarrassed.
"I guess you must have gone the wrong way." Xia Ya smiled.
"...Wrong way is wrong! I dare to admit when I do something!" Yaslan shouted with his neck straight: "Yes! I went in the wrong direction when I went out. I walked all the way, only to realize that I did not enter Byzantium. Empire, but ran into the depths of Chaos Territory, and accidentally ran into the settlement of giants. Those monsters don't like strangers breaking in. I fought them fiercely! The guy injured a few, and then left. Later... He went all the way north, ran into the forest and ocean, almost entered the territory of the elves, met a few Druids, kindly pointed me in the direction, I I just ran all the way here, but I was walking, and I didn’t know why I went wrong again. After running for a day, I actually ran to the city of Babylon... I thought to myself that I have already arrived here. I stopped by the way to meet Saint Laurent Garros. I thought that everyone would not see each other for many years. I would ask her to learn about my newly cultivated sword skills. Maybe everyone can prove it. When I went there, I found out that the people in the city lord's mansion said that she actually closed herself in a cave for a year and didn't come out. They said that she was cultivating something new. My old man is a reasonable person, and I put my heart to heart. , if I was doing penance behind closed doors, I wouldn't like being disturbed by others. Since Saint Laurent Garros was like this, I couldn't be bothered, so I left the city of Babylon, and then I met a caravan, and after asking the way, I ran away. come over… "
Xia Ya was stunned: "You... How many days have passed since you received the news from Merlin until I met you yesterday?"
The old guy touched his head: "It will be less than ten days."
Xia Ya was really shocked!
Less than ten days! !
From Denzel City to the Territory of Chaos, there is more than half of the Byzantine Empire in the middle! ! The distance is thousands of miles!
And after this old guy went out, he went the wrong way one after another and lost his direction, and even went to the city of Babylon in the north of the Chaos Territory to go around! Where did I come from, I went around in a big circle, and the distance was almost three times as far! !
And he only spent less than ten days in total!
It seems that this guy just boasted that he "walks thousands of miles a day", not only is not bragging, but is still humble!
On the way, just talking and talking like this, and sure enough, the time passed without knowing it.
What makes Xia strange is that the old guy didn't show any anxiety at this moment, but instead he walked slowly with Xia while talking nonsense, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry. Xia Ya originally thought that once this old guy had the chance to find his sweetheart, he would be impatient to give birth to wings and fly over.
But Aslan walked with Xiaya like this, but he seemed to be able to bear his temper.
It was only when the sky was getting brighter that Xia Ya's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yi! Look! There seems to be a village in front of you!"
Yaslan squinted his eyes, put his hands behind his back, walked side by side with Xiaya, and after hearing this, he said lazily, "My old man saw this village a quarter of an hour ago... Well, there are still other places at the entrance of the village. Two trees with crooked necks, one tree branch is divided in half, as if struck by lightning."
When Xia Ya heard this, she couldn't help but stay for a while. He asked himself that his eyesight was excellent. He was already the most acute person among ordinary people. The village he saw in the distance was only a few hundred meters away! In the early morning again, some thin fog did not dissipate, and it affected the sight. Even he himself could only see it vaguely. This old guy... His eyes are so good? !
At the moment, I couldn't help but speed up and move forward. After a while, the two walked to the entrance of the village, and Xia Ya was really convinced!
There were indeed two big trees at the entrance of the village, and the shape and appearance were exactly the same as what Old Aslan had just described!
Just when Xia Ya looked at the old guy in surprise, Aslan sniffed his nose and looked at the village: "It seems to be a deserted village with no one in it."
Xia sighed.
The village in front of me was quiet in that little twilight of dawn—not a quiet silence, but a silence full of death and lifelessness. There is no light at all, and there is no popularity at all.
There is a dilapidated road at the entrance of the dark village. At first glance, the village is full of darkness.
Xia Ya sighed: "At least when I saw this village, I made sure of one thing. We are still in Byzantium, and it is not too far from Moor County. This village was obviously ruined because of the war, and the villagers in it have already fled. went."
With that said, the two slowly walked into the village. This deserted village is really deserted, and all the houses are dilapidated. I am afraid that no one has lived in it for at least half a year. Some houses collapsed, some doors and windows were smashed, and thick dust was accumulating everywhere.
When you reach the village, there is a small square at the end of the road - this is also the style of the typical Byzantine Empire villages and towns. There will be a square in the small villages and towns. Generally speaking, the water sources and wells in the villages and towns will be concentrated here.
This small square is only about ten meters wide, with uneven pebbles on the ground, a water well on the side, and half a rotten wooden barrel on the side.
In the middle of that square, next to a sink, stood a large stone.
Xiaya walked over and gently patted off the dirt on the stone, revealing the text engraved on it below.
"Welcome to Daqingshi Village"
This word made Xia frown even tighter.
He was starting to get a little uneasy.
First of all, although the well in the square of this village is dilapidated, it is clear that the well has not been destroyed! At least... In the village of Moore County, villagers are under the command of soldiers to destroy water sources before evacuating and evacuating their refugees - Green's scorched earth strategy.
But here, the well is not blocked, and even the sink is intact!
Secondly... The place name "Daqingshi Village" felt very strange to Xia.
Although he could not remember all the hundreds of military maps in his mind, after carefully studying the hundreds of military maps, he at least had an impression of the place names of most of the villages and towns in Moore County.
What is certain is that at least in the maps of More County, he has absolutely no impression of the place name "Da Qingshi Village"!
So... the only answer is that the place where the two of them are at the moment is definitely not Moor County!
"Is it Sylten County, which is occupied by Manninger in the south? Or... How about Knotts County, which is occupied by Hastings..." Char frowned and thought.
Char is more inclined to be Syltan County! It's no fun to meet Hastings if it's in Knotts.
Although there is this "War Intent Sword Saint" named Aslan by his side now, this old man seems to be the same as Merlin's old guys, doing things a little crazy, Xiaya dare not put his safety on an old man On the madman.
"Unfortunately, there is no one here to ask for directions." Xia Ya sighed.
Aslan smiled and looked at Xi Ya, the old man suddenly whispered: "Fifty steps from the left, there is someone in the second house and the third window."
Xia Ya was shocked and glanced at the old guy - but this old guy's eyesight is so strong, it must be true!
Xia Ya also lowered her voice: "How do you know?"
"Hmph, although my old man practiced martial arts and swordsmanship, the way of swordsmanship is the best way to hone a person's state of mind. Once my spiritual sense is swept away, within a hundred paces, even a fly can't escape my five senses and six senses. Window There are people inside, who are peeping at us through the window... Well, one, two... There are only two, one of them is still injured, and his breath is a little unstable. That way, the target is you."
When Xia Ya heard the words, she said angrily: "It's me? Why me? The two of us are standing here, why don't they look at you?"
Aslan laughed: "I just look like a bad old man. You are tall and big. From your appearance, you are naturally more threatening."
Xia gave a "hmm" and asked in a low voice, "Who is it? Is it an Odin or... "
Aslan rolled his eyes: "What do you think of me as an old man? Is it an omnipotent, omniscient god? It's amazing that I can sense each other's breath and movements through doors and windows. It's not possible to have clairvoyance. I can see the other person's eyebrows, nose and eyes through the wall, and tell you whether the other person is white or black, beautiful or ugly? Ha! Hannigan is here, and he can't do it to the extent you say."
Xiaya took two steps back calmly, and carefully hid his body halfway behind Aslan, so that Aslan stood between him and the row of houses on the left.
Aslan saw Xia Ya's little action, the old man not only wasn't unhappy, he even smiled kindly at Xia Ya.
When Xia Ya was laughed inexplicably by him...
call out! !
A sharp piercing sound!
In the darkness, this energy shot from the right! Exactly the third window of the second house!
A dark arrow surging, with the sound of breaking the air, arrived at Xia Ya's face almost instantly!
With Xia Ya's injured hand, his body's response was weaker than that of ordinary people, not to mention that the arrow was powerful! Seeing that the arrow was in front of Xia Ya, Xia Ya couldn't dodge in time! !
At this moment, three thoughts flashed through Xia Ya's heart like lightning.
The first thought: Damn, I miscalculated! Aslan said "left", but I forgot that this guy is a road idiot who always goes in the wrong direction! The old madman said it was on the left, but the enemy was on the right!
Second thought: I finally understand why the old man smiled kindly at me just now! I originally heard his words and ducked behind him to use him as a shield, but in fact, because of the wrong direction, I actually stood in front of him! Help him block the arrow! No wonder the old guy seemed moved when he smiled at me.
The third thought was: Damn, I won't die here, will I? If I don't see Adeline anymore, this poor little bastard knows that I'm dead, but he will cry like tears...
The sound of breaking the air stopped abruptly!
Just when the sharp arrow had almost kissed Xia Ya's forehead, a hand stretched out from the side, as if picking flowers, branches and leaves. The arrow is caught!
The stone that was caught, the cold metal arrow has touched Char's skin!
Xia Ya walked from the death line for a while, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat, looking up at the old guy, but the old man looked at him with a smile.
"Not bad, my old man is not so good to you in vain. Just now I knew someone was attacking, but you kid deliberately stood in front of me to help me block arrows... Your conscience is good, my old man is very pleased, but no need! I If the old man was attacked by such a gadget, he would have lived such a long life."
(To help you block arrows to hell! If it wasn't for you, the old bastard, said the wrong direction again...) Xia's heart was sullen, and he forced a look of crying and laughing on his face.
In the house on the right, the sneak attack failed, and there was a commotion inside!
Old Aslan sneered, raised a finger and slid slightly into the air, when he heard a clatter, the doors and windows of the house in the distance suddenly shattered! After the doors and windows disappeared, two people in the room were revealed!
A man was lying on the window sill, covered in blood. Obviously, he had been seriously injured before, but he was holding an excellent hand crossbow only in the army with empty arrow slots. Obviously, it was him who was attacked by the cold arrow just now! It's just that at this moment, the man has already slumped to the side, and his arms are drooping down.
The other person is in a suit of armor. Most of the armor is tattered, but judging from the remaining appearance, it should still be a pair of extremely high-quality Qiushan armor, and even the remaining color on the armor is actually plated with one. Layers of gold - only those with distinguished status, or those who are extremely arrogant and like stinky farts will wear golden armor. This is Char's consistent point of view: what are you doing on the battlefield in such a gorgeous and eye-catching dress? Are you afraid that the enemy's archers can't find their target
And this guy in broken armor, holding a sword in his hand, is pointing nervously at Xia Ya and others.
Obviously, the old guy just clicked the door and windows of this house and smashed it. This skill is too scary. The person holding the sword was obviously also in extreme shock, and the hand holding the sword was constantly shaking.
Messy hair, black gray and blood on his face mixed together, and he couldn't see his original face.
Xia Ya has a big expert present, although he is weak now, he is not afraid, and he looks at the other side boldly.
Unexpectedly, after looking at each other for only a few seconds, the guy with the sword and the armor suddenly shouted, threw the sword in a low voice, and knelt down with a plop, and shouted loudly at Xia Ya and the old guy. Crying, crying in a pleading voice: "I won't run away! I surrender, I surrender completely! I will be the head office for whatever you want me to do? I don't have any requirements, and I dare not ask any more. Now! Just keep me alive, don't kill me! Don't kill me! Please!"
The man cried and cried.
And the man who was lying there, his whole body covered in blood, suddenly shuddered and said quickly in a low voice, "Major General! You can't surrender, you can't surrender..."
"Shut up! What if you don't surrender! Only the two of us are left! The land is gone, and the army is gone, what hope do we have... If we surrender, there will be a life left!!"
The "major general" trembled all over, but screamed at the man lying on the ground: "It was all of you who encouraged me to do these things, but now I can't even save my life!! I just want to live, not die. I don't want to die!!"
The man on the ground was obviously a subordinate. Hearing this, his body trembled violently, the arm holding the crossbow trembled, as if trying to lift it up, but it was lifted and lifted, and finally the injury was too severe, the strength was weak, and it loosened softly. When I went down, I heard the man lying on the ground, his voice full of sorrow and indignation: "Surrender! Major General! If I want to surrender, I can surrender when the city is broken! If I want to surrender, if I kill you that day, take Your head can be replaced by the title of a general! If you want to surrender, our group will not fight to the death to protect you from the encirclement! If you want to surrender, we brothers will not be left to die today. Let me down!! Major General! So many people died for you, shed blood for you, and everyone gave their allegiance to you, and when things came to an end, in exchange for your 'surrender'!"
He was obviously seriously injured, but as he spoke, his voice became louder and more excited.
"Shut up! Shut up!! I don't want to listen! I don't want to listen to anything now! I just want to live! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!!"
Seeing that the "major general" was so useless, the man on the ground finally groaned, and blood flowed from his mouth.
Xia Ya looked at the two in the distance, suddenly coughed hard, took two steps up, and said slowly in a slow tone: "That... Let's disturb the argument between the two first, can you talk about it... What the hell are you all about? Who is it?"
As soon as he said this, the "major general" was stunned for a moment, and he opened his mouth and said subconsciously: "You, you don't know who we are?"
Xia Ya sneered: "Humph! Are you famous? Do others have to recognize you?"
As he said that, he looked at the guy: "Don't think about being tricky, answer my questions honestly, I don't have any other skills, but if someone deceives me, I can see it when I roll my eyes! As he said, he pointed to the old man beside him: "Have you seen this old man? This is the old man who is famous in the mainland for fighting swordsman! Just now, the old man smashed the doors and windows of this house with one finger. How many times can his body withstand the poking of his old man?"
The major general hesitated for a moment, and finally stammered: "I... I am Gaia, yes, the son of the governor of the Corsican military region, the heir to the governor, and the commander-in-chief of the Corsican army, Gaia Carlos."
Hearing this, Xi Ya's eyes suddenly lit up!
