Scrap iron

, The perspective is narrow, and some parts of the rhythm are more substituting, but the plot advances too slowly.

Only on a rare day can I write a chapter that I am satisfied with.

Due to the special structure of the book "Scrap Iron", I found that the climax of the plot can only be collectively erupted in the last few chapters of each part, so I will be extra painful when writing the chapters at the beginning of each part, transitions, foreshadowing, scenes The rendering and the creation of new characters all slow down or weaken the rhythm of the plot.

However, when I tried to speed up the plot in these chapters, I found that what I wrote seemed to be less interesting when I read it.

So I hope that seeing the little cutie here can give me a little more patience—not only the patience of paving the way for the text and the transition, but also the patience of my gradual progress on the long writing journey.

Finally, because my narrative mode, language style, perspective adjustment, writing mood, etc. are still in the exploratory stage——

Several times I applied for a contract and was rejected, which shows that my writing is still a big problem-so I really appreciate the little cutie who read my story carefully!thank you all!

I will keep on writing, and try my best to write works that not only meet my own literary expectations, but also satisfy readers' pleasure in reading!

In short, cuties, you won’t lose money if you invest in shares!

18: Ambush

Although Lucas has only been here once, he has familiarly turned to the tent where he once lived with Xue Dan for one night.

like everything here

Although Lucas has only been here once, he has familiarly turned to the tent where he once lived with Xue Dan for one night.

It was as if everything here could be easily engraved in his heart.

Lucas was immersed in the joy of returning home, and subconsciously opened the curtain.

But when the stinky smell came under the hood, he was actually in the same mood as Xue Dan when he saw this scene.

Ridiculous, caught off guard, overwhelmed.

That's right, You Yao is dead.

Lucas stood under the curtain for a long time, and finally moved in like a sleepwalker, and stopped by the dilapidated bed.

You Yao's body was a little shriveled, and there were blood stains all over his body, but Lucas could only see the pair of brown eyes staring upward.

When Lucas saw those eyes, he suddenly understood an unimportant fact. Facing Dawn Republic's standard torture method, You Yao didn't say a word.

Lucas was a little out of breath.

He pressed one hand on his chest, his eyes were glued to those brown pupils, and he was panting quickly and with difficulty.

Suddenly, his mouth was covered with a hand.Then, before he could react, Lucas received a blow to the stomach.

The blow was merciless, and Lucas's mouth was filled with a strong smell of blood, and his eyes suddenly blurred.

The person who hit him didn't make another move, but picked up Lucas's collar, pulled it in front of his eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "Why, do you still want to come and give You Yao a farewell? You really are not a human, Chairman of the Council!"

Lucas' eyes widened in disbelief, and he swallowed ecstasy mixed with the smell of rust.He wanted to see the face of the person in front of him clearly, but his vision was still blurred by the pain.

His voice trembled violently: "Xue Dan?"

The man didn't answer him.

Lucas anxiously covered the hand holding his collar, as if he wanted to feel the slightly rough skin again: "Is it Xue Dan?"

The man let out a snort.

Lucas almost pleaded: "Yes—is it Xue Dan?"

There is no need for that person to answer.After Lucas asked this sentence, his vision gradually became clearer. He saw the black pupils, deep inner eyes and sharp corners of the eyes.

Lucas knew those eyes, and when they stared at him, Lucas could always see, beneath the madness and savagery, the tenderness that flowed at the bottom.

But now there was so much heavy and complex emotion in those eyes that they looked away as soon as they met Lucas's focused emerald ones.

Xue Dan finally let go of Lucas and turned to You Yao.

Lucas stretched out his hand, trying to stop him from approaching Youyao: "Youyao carries a virus—"

He was interrupted by Xue Dan in the middle of his sentence.

"You also know that he has the virus?" Xue Dan laughed angrily at Lucas, he turned around suddenly, strangled Lucas' neck, and forced words out through his teeth, "Who is this virus?" Released - I will ask you who released this virus!"

Lucas opened his mouth to defend, but suddenly found that Xue Dan's eyes were red.His entire sentence was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get it out.

Xue Dan pursed his lips tightly, stopped talking, and was silent for a while, then suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently.

Lucas hurriedly took out a small bottle of blue liquid from his windbreaker pocket and handed it over: "Oral antibody—"

Xue Dan's coughing stopped, he put down his bloody palms, turned his head suddenly, and stared at the small bottle with fixed eyes.

Xue Dan looked at it for a long time but didn't answer it. It wasn't until Lucas handed it to him again that he reached out hesitantly and carefully pinched the glass bottle.

Lucas felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and he said, "These are for five people, and a small sip is enough to resist the virus."

Xue Dan held the bottle and looked at Lucas' face quietly.

Did he know that this small bottle seemed to mark the gap between the two that could never be bridged, the status of the two who dominated and were dominated, and the status of the Republic of Dawn and the Yaling Mountains.

If Lucas doesn't take out the bottle, Xue Dan can deceive himself and concentrate the contradiction on You Yao;

Now that Lucas casually took out this small bottle that Xue Dan never dared to hope for all his life, Xue Dan couldn't deceive himself any longer.

Xue Dan said, "What are you doing here?"

Lucas didn't realize that there was something wrong with this small bottle, and said to himself, "You drink the oral antibody first."

Xue Dan said absurdly: "While you tried your best to put me to death, you put on the appearance of an old father and asked me to drink medicine——Lucas, are you sick?"

Lucas was stunned for a moment, his lips twitched twice, and finally he just answered the wrong question: "I was tricked by the Kamo Empire, I didn't kill Youyao, let me come and see him."

Lucas thought that Xue Dan would not believe him, but Xue Dan looked into his emerald green eyes for a while, and finally said: "You don't need to look at him, you go back."

Lucas was surprised: "You believe me?"

Xue Dan put the antibody in his arms, and looked down to the ground: "There is nothing unbelievable about this."

He turned to You Yao and said, "I—I think you're telling the truth on this matter."

"If this is not the truth..." Xue Dan's shoulders drooped slightly, "Then I don't care."

Lucas' heart constricted.

He felt a throbbing pain in his heart, which made him want to hug Xue Dan firmly from behind, but he moved his fingers, and in the end he just silently slapped himself in the heart.

He has no such right.

Lucas said dryly: "It's the truth."

Xue Dan didn't answer him.

Xue Dan's attention has shifted to You Yao, and he is trying to find a way to divert You Yao who is full of viruses.

Lucas didn't know what to say, and was silent half a step behind him.

Xue Dan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know anything about the virus, but in the end he couldn't think of any good solution, so he simply put his hands under You Yao's armpit, trying to lift You Yao up.

At worst, he will be buried when he goes down the mountain, and the virus will not spread.Xue Dan remembered that You Yao said that he didn't like to be cremated, and would rather be buried at the foot of a certain mountain.

Very good, isn't there a ready-made foot of the mountain here?

Xue Dan picked up the fluffy You Yao.

At the moment when he felt You Yao's weight, Xue Dan suddenly choked up.

You Yao is too light, as if there is only a piece of skin left, and even the skeleton is about to fall away.

Xue Dan's tears seemed to be switched on suddenly, spreading from the tip of the nose to the eye sockets, and then flowing down.

He couldn't bear such light You Yao, nor could he bear his bloody body and empty internal organs.

He gently put You Yao back in place, squatted down slowly, hugged the back of his neck with one hand, and supported the edge of the bed weakly with the other.

The suppressed sobs sounded from the root of Xue Dan's throat, quietly settled at the bottom of the tent, and then one drop after another of tears fell on the dirty ground, slowly fainting a wet spot.

Lucas thought that he should leave the tent and give Xue Dan enough space.But Lucas seemed to be nailed into the air by two nails, and his eyes were forced to record all this dutifully:

The deflated, deformed brother on the bed and the lover who cried for the first time under the bed.

Lucas couldn't cry, he just felt that he had never been so focused for a moment, as if the entire Aring Mountains were pressing on his back, making him want to shatter.

Xue Dan's sobs evaporated from his throat and became hotter and hotter. By the time Lucas realized it, Xue Dan had staggered out of the tent.

Lucas heard a howl of pain from outside the tent.

His hands were hanging by his side, his eyes were fixed on the dirty black ground under his feet, and his ears were buzzing.

Lucas, said the voice, you deserve it.

The voice wanted to continue talking, but was drowned out by louder voices outside the tent.

Lucas raised his head in a daze, and saw the sky suddenly brighten outside the tent, as if it had suddenly entered noon.

Lucas's head was still a little confused, and he saw Xue Dan suddenly rushing back from outside the tent and running straight towards him.

Lucas opened his mouth: "Why—"

Before he finished speaking, he felt top-heavy.

Xue Dan carried him on his back.

Lucas subconsciously wrapped his arms around Xue Dan's neck, in a daze.

Xue Dan rushed to You Yao's bed again, but he couldn't carry You Yao's body on his back.

He hesitated for half a second, and finally rushed out of the tent without looking back: "There is an ambush—the Kamo Empire and the Ero Army."

No one allowed Lucas and Xue Dan to continue to grieve, and they continued to struggle to live.Crying is a luxury—and so is burial.

Lucas saw a third firework explode outside the tent.

That was the signal from the third army of the Kamo Empire.

He heard the sound of rushing around, and saw countless moving figures among the tents.They surrounded him from all directions and waged a single campaign against the Chancellor of the Dawn Republic.

Xue Dan took the iron pillar and ran from the tent mouth to the hillside under Duantou Cliff.

He pulled the iron pillar in the distance, and a sliding shovel easily passed the impaling iron spear: "They are here to catch you, and the Ero Army is a fake surrender."

Lucas has also reacted, he tried his best to lean down and stick to Xue Dan's back, a little unable to adapt to the dazzling sight in front of him: "So——they also forged information and caused You Yao's death. Guaranteed to get rid of you, on the one hand, set up an ambush for me here."

Xue Dan forcibly rejoined an iron sword that he couldn't escape, and he pushed the iron sword back fiercely, sinking into the chest of its original owner: "Hold tight."

Lucas hurriedly tried his best to dispel the shame of relying on others, and hugged a little tighter.

He has never been to the front line of combat, and has always been just a grand strategy maker.At this moment, he felt the sharp iron passing by his ears, and he felt a little bit of stimulation miraculously.

Although he didn't want to understand, Yise City has been burned, where did so many Kamo Empire Third Army come from.

Xue Dan tapped the iron pillar with his toes, stepped on the extended iron sword by inertia, forcibly joined an iron shield, pushed it into the sky, and then jumped on top of it with the downward thrust, pushing the iron shield——Xue Dan Dan flew over the soldiers below like an eagle.

Lucas met the sights of the soldiers and was carried on Xue Dan's back, unable to restrain his face.

Lucas pretended not to see their gaze, and took advantage of Xue Dan's elevated position, he quickly scanned around the mountains and plains.

The east and west slopes of the mountain plains are full of Elo troops lined up among the forests, and the south of Qushui is blocked by a column of Lekamo Empire troops. At a glance, the number is almost the same as that of the Dawn Republic army.

The main strategy of the Kamo Empire and the Ero Army is probably to interrupt the connection between the Army of the Dawn Republic and Lucas, so the number of people who actually came to surround Lucas is not too many.

But the Kamo Empire and the Ero Army did not expect that Xue Dan not only survived the catastrophe, but also returned to rescue Lucas.

Watching Xue Dan easily break through the encirclement using the iron links of the camp, and disappearing after two jumps from the southwestern hillside, Commander Thomas was so angry that his teeth itched.

He turned around and said angrily to the people behind him: "I didn't lie to you, I heard in the woods that the two of them got together—— Xue Dan, a lunatic, is willing to save him, I really don't understand!"

The man was reading a pocket book of fairy tales, and when he heard the commander's words, he took off his glasses calmly and responded, "Retreat, we won't be able to catch Xue Dan today."

She raised her head, her expression indifferent: "We set up an ambush around the Dawn Republic garrison. If they want to return to the camp, they will definitely be known."

"We won't send troops to fight against the Dawn Republic Army." Said the man who controlled the entire Ero Sea Region.

Because what she needs most now is to find Lucas and let him come up with the antidote.

The author says:

Yes, Lucas' new virus is in liquid form.

- You don't need to compare it to a virus, it's just a thing, this thing will make the body system run out of balance or mutate, and eventually die.Because calling it a virus is easier to understand, so we call it a virus.

19. "Elopement"

"Elope." Go to Elo Army;

Xue Dan ran all the way down the hillside with Lucas, and Lucas said on his back: "Don't run, they didn't chase."

Xue Dan slowed down a bit: "Didn't chase?"

Lucas said: "No chase."

Xue Dan stopped and let Lucas get off his back: "What are you going to do next?"

Lucas pinched his brows helplessly: "What else can we do? If there are so many people left in the Kamo Empire Third Army and the Ero Army, the only ones who will be besieged in the end will be the Army of the Dawn Republic."

He reached into the lining of his windbreaker and fumbled.

Xue Dan watched helplessly as he took out a long messenger tube from his flat clothes, connected it to the bronze in the messenger tube, and told Philumele not to come to him in a hurry for the time being, but to stand still and wait for a turning point.

Xue Dan praised: "How many pockets must have been sewn into your clothes."

Lucas put the messenger box back, ignoring Xue Dan's complaints: "After all, the messenger box is a moving bronze column, and it's not quite complete, and the sound will be completely distorted when it passes through. That's why that person can imitate me. Send a message to Philumele."

Xue Dan looked at him, but didn't speak.

Lukas was puzzled by his gaze, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong with your neck, partial paralysis?"

Xue Dan choked for half a second: "I wanted to tell you that I have to be responsible for You Yao's affairs. After all, I robbed you, and I kicked the messenger." After he finished speaking, he said, "But look If you look like a bear now, I guess I'm being sentimental."

Lucas lowered his eyelids and sneered, "I don't think you're very sad."

After he said this, he immediately realized that it was a bit hurtful. He just wanted to make amends back, but he didn't understand why he wanted to make amends.

Lucas's mouth was half-opened and stuck in the air. Before he could come up with any emergency measures, Xue Dan laughed from the side: "Old Chinese doctor, your mouth is only partially paralyzed, and it's time to give yourself some side medicine. .”

Don't compare yourself to young people.Lucas closed his mouth expressionlessly, telling himself to learn to manage his emotions.

Xue Dan raised his eyebrows at him, as if hooking up with a little girl: "Senior Council, there are probably ambushes around the camp of the Dawn Republic now, and you don't even want to go back. If I "bring the emperor to order the princes", will I be able to command you?" Do you have to move the Dawn Republic army? "

Lucas said rationally: "The Dawn Republic Expeditionary Force is in a very dangerous situation now, and it is hard to protect itself, so there is no time to take care of me, a fake "son of heaven". "

"However, the "Son of Heaven" sincerely invited General Xue to "elope" to the Erluohai District, what does General Xue think? "Lucas bent forward with one hand, bowed slightly, as if he was discussing business.

Xue Dan held Lucas's elbow with a smile on his face, and lifted Lucas up: "The chairman of the council doesn't have to be so polite—have you forgotten Yu'an City?"

It was only then that Lucas remembered that he hadn't told Xue Dan about it: "What I injected in Yu'an City was not a new virus."

Xue Dan froze: "Huh?"

Lucas looked at the black eyes focused on him with some amusement: "Another kind of bacteria I released cannot be lethal."

Xue Dan stood up straight: "So what you released was fake news?"

Lucas nodded.

Xue Dan looked at him for a while, thought about Yu'an City in his mind for a while, and thought about the Battle of Nanshan for a while, then suddenly said: "I don't know how I survived."

Lucas watched him silently.

"You..." Are you really willing to disregard my life and occupy an insignificant piece of land?

Xue Dan didn't ask this question, because he suddenly thought that he really wasn't someone from Lucas.

But Xue Dan believed that Lucas knew what he wanted to ask.

Lucas moved his emerald green pupils to the west, and said, "Yu'an City will slowly return to normal by itself."

Xue Dan nodded calmly.

Lucas still didn't look at Xue Dan: "Are you going to the Elo Sea with me? I've detected some unusual things over there, why don't you go and have a look at this time."

Xue Dan's calm mood was broken by Lucas's brain circuit, and he still didn't turn the corner, and said in surprise: "No, go now? You and me?"

Lucas nodded.

Xue Dan stretched out his arm in disbelief and pointed at the Yaling Mountains behind the two, saying: "However, the Erluo Army and the Third Army of the Kamo Empire are still threatening the Dawn Republic Expeditionary Army; Tatyana is also infected by a new virus, Liu Yuan There must be some action in the garden—Yaling mountain area is still occupied by so many troops..." He said, puzzled, "Are you going to leave this mess alone? You're the fucking lunatic, right?"

Lucas calmly said: "The reason Liu Yuanyuan wants to arrest me is to get the antibody to the new virus, so she will not move the Dawn Republic Expeditionary Force, but try to surround you and me;

Without the support of the Elo Army, the third army of the Kamo Empire would not move; as for the problem of the Yaling Mountains—do you have a way to break the confrontation between the three armies and regain the Yaling Mountains? "

"Yes. I have a method that can seriously hit the Kamo Empire army and the Elo army." Xue Dan said, "It depends on whether you are willing to take the risk of sneaking into the Elo River to garrison for a month."

Lucas didn't expect that Xue Dan really had a way. He weighed the urgency of going to the south and decided to follow Xue Dan.

Lucas said happily: "Anyway, I have nowhere to go now. Going to the Ero Army for a one-month tour is a good choice."

The weather in Yu'an City hasn't been clear for a long time, and the gloomy black clouds spread over the town, like a gathered virus.

Zhou Yishang squatted dejectedly at the door of a tavern, her hair sticking out like a chicken coop. She wiped her nose with the heel of her palm, scratched her head, and sighed eight times.

She has nothing against this virus.

This time, the infected person does not go crazy, does not mutate, and does not harm others. They have no heartbeat within 24 hours of contracting the virus, which is extremely contagious.

At the beginning, Zhou Yishang also actively organized the Yu'an City garrison to isolate the infected and cremate the dead. Later, within two days, she found that she couldn't control it at all. The residents of Yu'an City died of illness rapidly. Zhou Yishang could only send people to block the city gate. , Don't let the city people run outside.

Therefore, she also had a large-scale conflict with the residents, killing and injuring many people and the brothers and sisters of the Yaling Army.

Now half of the people in Yu'an City have died. Zhou Yishang estimates that in a few days, this once the largest gathering place in Yaling Mountains will become an empty city.

"Middle General Zhou, how to deal with this group of dead."

A boot of the Yaling Army stopped in front of Zhou Yishang, the toe of the iron boot was so tired that there was no light at all.

Zhou Yishang waved his hand: "How else can I deal with it? Can I handle it? Don't ask me about it in the future. Let's pile it up on the mountain at the west end of the city. That area is surrounded by wasteland, and the virus cannot spread."

"Okay." The Yaling army led the order and left.

Zhou Yishang lay sadly on his back on the cement steps of the tavern, and rested his head on the stone steps, but he didn't feel panicked.

She watched the figure of the Yaling Army slowly disappear across the street, and subconsciously wanted to touch the wine on her waist, but it was empty.

Forget it, forget it, it would be good if you can give up Yu'an City and keep other places in the Yaling Mountains.

Zhou Yishang smacked his lips, as if he wanted to smell some alcohol in the air.

They are all dying, and they can't drink alcohol.Zhou Yishang was a little depressed. If she knew where Xue Dan was, she would definitely send a letter to tell him that after she died, she didn't want anything else, just don't give her clothes to drink.

She was hurting herself here, when the little soldier who ran away from the other side of the street came back like a whirlwind, Zhou Yishang turned her head on the steps wondering, only to see that the little soldier was followed by a group of Yaling army and the masses.

What are you doing, playing monkey?

Zhou Yishang raised his head, stared at their happy faces all the way and rushed to her: "What happened..."

"Admiral Zhou! General Xue has a letter!"

Zhou Yishang was stunned: "I rely on?"

She jumped up from the steps like a carp, the head of the chicken coop trembled, and ran to the bronze pillar on the other side of the street without saying a word, running faster than anyone else.

Constance, the priest in red, took a deep breath of the cigarette and exhaled a puff of white mist.He looked at the sky and said with emotion: "It rained a little less this month, it must have been much more than this in previous years."

Qin Ji lighted the cigarette in Constance's hand from a distance: "Okay, smoking is not allowed in the canon, it's almost enough."

Constance took another puff in his mouth, flicked the ash, and scolded with a smile: "You are a little green coat, and the tube is quite wide." He reluctantly threw the cigarette into the Elo River, regretting, "You three don't talk about it. , who knew I smoked."

Song Yuguan leaned against the railing of the deck, squinted at Qin Ji, and said, "He's a little green guy, you hang out with us every day, you don't talk about it, you talk about it when someone tells you to smoke."

Both of Constance's arms were hanging over the railing: "If it hadn't been a month of peace since I ambushed that Lucas last time, I wouldn't have to rely on cigarettes to relieve my boredom."

Lucas, who was wearing Alec Chinpi, was accidentally called and almost choked on his saliva: "Don't you have too much work, the king asked you two to go to Lucas and Xue Dan, can you two come?" Haven't found it yet."

Constance curled his lips: "Come on, Alekchin, you can yin and yang. If Xue Dan and Lucas can be found so easily, they were in the ambush circle back then, why didn't they get caught?"

"More chicken thief than chicken thief." Constance scolded.

Qin Ji kicked Constance from the bottom: "You lived with your mother in the Yaling Mountains for so long, why did you scold Xue Dan so smoothly?"

Constance is very different from the people in the Elo Sea area. They don't speak carefully, use bold words, and their belief in the king is not firm. As one of Wang Weier's red-clothed priests, he really depends on the strength of leading troops to rise to the top.

As for Song Yuguan, the other red-clothed priest, she used to be cool and indifferent. Since Constance was promoted to a red-clothed priest last year, she is now acting inappropriately. She is neither like the Eluohai people nor Yaling Mountain people.

Constance kicked Qin Ji back: "I learned this swear word from the Yaling Mountains, so of course I can swear smoothly." He gritted his teeth and said, "It's delaying my business, why don't you let me swear a few words? Bachelor stuff."

Qin Ji said: "It's over, it's over, I know I'm worrying about not having someone to confess to me every day, but still scolding me like that, it's so disrespectful."

Song Yuguan thought of something and interrupted their chatter: "Qin Ji, the iron fish you fished out of the sunken ship last time, the priest in green in the Holy Grail area sent over a dozen more yesterday, saying they were in the sunken ship. It was caught by Shi Chuanqu."

Constance snapped his fingers against the steaming water vapor in the air: "I guess I also swam out of that sunken ship."

"At the beginning, the king and the high priest sent a little white man to look at the shipwreck, but he never came back. He must have been infected with a virus and died in it." Constance said, "I just don't know if he saw this kind of iron at that time. fish."

"I sent a bronze message to Wang at the front line, and Wang asked me to look for this fish first."

Song Yuguan sighed, "After the high priest fell ill, the king was so focused on finding antibodies for the high priest, it was inevitable that he didn't have the time to pay attention to these things."

Constance muttered, seemingly unintentionally, and said, "Leave aside the iron fish, the bronze message sent to Yu'an City that was discovered two weeks ago, did you find out which traitor sent it?"

Xue Dan, who was wearing Qin Ji's skin, thumped in his heart.

Looking at the virtue of Constance's words, he always felt that he was suspicious.

The author says:

Hehe, I don’t know if you still remember, in the chapter of the shipwreck, Xiao Baiyi saw an iron fish.

20. Eve

Just as Song Yuguan was about to open his mouth to say no, the hatch behind him was suddenly opened with a bang, and a man poked out of it. Just as Song Yuguan was about to say no, the hatch behind him was suddenly opened with a bang, and a The head of the priest in yellow: "Song priest! A message from the king!"

Song Yuguan was taken aback for a moment, his lazy body suddenly straightened up.She stretched out her hand against the cabin door, strode into the cabin, lifted the hem of her clothes, and pressed her palm on the bronze pillar.

Xue Dan saw that Song Yuguan's complexion was getting worse and worse, his brows were tightly knit together, and his eyes were fixed on the bulkhead, as if he wanted to punch a hole there.

Less than a minute later, Song Yuguan loosened the connection, raised his eyelids, straightened his soft armor, and glanced at the three of Constance behind him: "The Yu'an City released a fake virus, and the Yaling Army's garrison in Yu'an City is not I don't know when, taking advantage of the emptiness in the lower reaches of the Erluo River, lightning struck Ruling County, and now it has penetrated into the Holy Grail area."

The fierce mountain wind from the top of Lingyun Peak squeezed through the iron windows into the small iron house, shaking Tatiana's iron spear tilted by the bedside.

The rags that were barely used as curtains were rattled and rattled, as if whipping the air in mid-air.

There is an iron bed, an iron chair, an iron table, and an iron cabinet in the iron room.

Liu Yuanyuan sat on a chair and read a children's pocket book. The wind blew up her hair, almost tearing them into dancing seaweed, but her body remained motionless, like a cold sculpture.

Tatyana was lying on the couch.She was wearing soft armor inside and a quilt outside, and her gray eyes were staring at Liu Yuanyuan soberly.

She looked at it for a while, then spoke in the strong wind, and said softly, "King, you don't have to worry so much about me."

Liu Yuanyuan didn't speak, still looking down at her pocket book.I don't know if it was because the wind was too strong and I didn't hear it.

Tatyana knew that Liu Yuanyuan could hear her, so she continued: "Your Majesty, you don't have to guard here anymore, the two red-clothed priests under my command can take on great responsibilities."

"Constance has a strong intuition on the battlefield and has a genius judgment, but sometimes he is too emotional. He can only be a lieutenant general."

"Song Yuguan's ability to lead troops to fight is not as good as Constance, but she has a better sense of the overall situation and is more rational. She will always consider the Erluo Sea District. She can be the leader."

"Although these two people are not as good as me in personal combat ability, but the combination of the two is not impossible to replace my role in the Elo sea area."

Liu Yuanyuan stared intently at her pocket book.

Tatyana was a little tired after talking so much, so she closed her eyes and rested.

The gust of wind in the iron house subsided for a while, and the buzzing of the iron spear by the bedside weakened along with the whipping of rags.

Liu Yuanyuan's voice sounded in the iron house: "Tatyanna, why are you so loyal to me?"

Tatyana opened her eyes, and saw that her king was still reading a children's pocket book, as if he had never said this sentence.

Tatiana closed her eyes again, and said calmly, "You are my king, the king of the Elo Sea region, and the king who should rule the world."

After hearing this sentence, Liu Yuanyuan sat motionless for a few seconds, then stood up suddenly, put the children's pocket book on the iron table, opened the iron door and walked outside.

Tatyana heard her leave.

Liu Yuanyuan turned and closed the door.

She had replaced the flag on Lingyun Peak with the flag of Eluohai District, and the dark blue was folded and danced in the strong wind, without stopping for a moment.

She looks north.

The viewing angle from Lingyun Peak is so good, she can see the Kamo Empire army lined up on the Qituo Mountain on the other side of the Duantou Cliff at a glance, and she can also see the faint Dawn Empire army on the north side of the Qituo Mountain.

No one is willing to withdraw troops.

Liu Yuanyuan inserted her hand into her loose hair and stroked it back, revealing a smooth and high forehead.

She remembered that once, when Eluohai District did not believe in her, her father once took her to the Yaling Mountains for fortune-telling——

Most of the people in the Eluohai region whose names are similar to those in the Yaling Mountains are of mixed race, just like her, whose mother is from Eluohai and her father is from Yaling Mountain;

However, there are also ancestors who moved from the Yaling Mountains, and the names of the entire family retain the Yaling Mountain style, such as Song Yuguan.The Ero Sea Region is a country of immigrants, with mixed names and bloodlines.

—The fortune-teller said that her forehead was too high and she was too ambitious.

Liu Yuanyuan thought, in fact, he has no ambitions.She just felt that since her name was Liu Yuanyuan instead of Anna or Bella, it meant that Yaling Mountain itself was one of her hometowns, so she must rule the southeast two districts.

The wind whizzed past the bronze pillar beside her and hit her in the face.

Liu Yuan felt the tentacles protruding from the bronze.It should be the garrison on the Erlo River who returned her bronze message.

She took two steps towards the bronze pillar and pressed her palm on the bronze pillar.

"King, according to your instructions, Constance has dispatched troops to Ruling County, and followed the believers to worship Wenzhen, Alekchin and their subordinate teams for the yellow clothes.

The garrison in the middle corridor of the Elo River is led by me, Song Yuguan, and the yellow-clothed priests Belkal, Henry and their followers are stationed. "

Just as Liu Yuanyuan was about to respond to her, another message came out from the bronze message, which turned out to be from Commander Thomas: "King Erlo, I am Thomas. The soldiers stationed in the west found that there seemed to be an army heading from the eastern plain to Yaling. The mountain system is moving, I have sent people to investigate, but there is no news yet. I suspect it is the remnants of the Yaling Army in the east."

A large part of the Erluo army in Liuyuan Garden has dispersed to look for Lucas and Xue Dan. Hearing the news, although he is not very worried, he still has a headache.She first responded to Commander Thomas:

"Commander Thomas, I will transfer about one brigade of the Erlo River Garrison to the east, and let me know if you have any news."

Then, she sent a letter to Song Yuguan: "Song Ji, you find a green-clothed priest with strong maneuverability and excellent personal combat ability, and ask him to take his subordinate believers to the east of the mountain flat in the north of Duantouya in the Yaling Mountains. Poe stationed."

Less than an hour after Thomas sent the bronze message to Liuyuan, he received the bronze message from the person he sent to Dongpo.

After listening to the message, Thomas didn't even think about it, and directly dialed the people from the two divisions to Dongpo.

Because the bronze messenger from the green-clothed priest of the Eruo Army said this:

Xue Dan led the troops himself, and Yu'an City's attack on Ruling County was just a cover, the real troops were all leaning on Dongpo, hiding in the Wuming Valley at this moment.He and Lucas have reached a cooperation, and the two front forces are going to target the Kamo Empire.

This news is so true, Xue Dan stationed in the valley, cooperated with Lucas, and sniped the Kamo Empire—almost in line with Captain Thomas' conjecture.

Commander Thomas once picked up a messenger box in the woods, and even heard a conversation that he should not have heard, so now he believes from the bottom of his heart that Xue Dan and Lucas have already had other relationships, and the two Sooner or later is one heart.

As a result, almost all the remaining soldiers of the Third Army of the Kamo Empire marched towards the east slope, like ants migrating between the furrows and ridges.

Commander Thomas did not send a letter to Liu Yuanyuan to share the results of the investigation. He didn't even want Liu Yuanyuan to know that Xue Dan and Lucas were on the east slope.

After all, Liu Yuanyuan's purpose is to capture Xue Dan or Lucas alive, and working with them will only make things worse.

But Liu Yuanyuan must have received the letter from his investigators before him, and Liu Yuanyuan will definitely be able to do so at the top of Lingyun Peak.
