04 undersea needle

A team of people and horses are winding slowly on the grassland.

At the front were the villagers who followed Mr. Hawke, who helped push the carriage to walk hard in the half-deep wormwood grass; Master Hawke, who followed him, sat in the carriage. Although it seemed easy, in fact, the bumpiness of the carriage in this environment had made him a little uncomfortable. Behind Master Hawke was his family. There were about 50 or 60 men and women, old and young, and they walked carefully. The reason is very simple, because the horse is followed by Xius.

Last night's battle, no, that should be called slaughter! The people of this camp enjoyed the smell of blood all night, and what surprised Claude and the others most was that the strong smell of blood did not attract any large predators, which made the experienced mercenaries feel very strange.

Seus no longer pretended to be a harmless teenager to help the villagers push the cart. He sat on the horse with Zheng on his back and shook with the horse's movements, and seemed to have no spirit at all. Behind him was Lucia, a noble girl who changed into an orthodox dress. The girl lowered her eyelids and didn't know what she was thinking. Behind them were more than 200 disabled soldiers and some injured mercenaries. The enemy who cut themselves into such a thing is now going to take care of themselves. The mercenaries feel ironic when they think of it, but they all understand that it is the demon-like man in front of them who makes all these seemingly absurd things possible.

According to the surviving soldiers, they were a bandit force originally belonging to the Principality of Kilo, with a total of 1,500 people. When he successfully cleared a group of thieves, he happened to get the division of the empire. The officer decided to be a bandit under the huge wealth** looted by the bandits. At first, most people didn't want to, but after the carrots and sticks, everyone gave in, so the original army became a new temporary band of thieves.

Everyone thinks that after a few votes, they can return to the Principality and live a comfortable life. Unexpectedly, when I met the devil, more than 1,300 brothers who had killed the bandits survived in the blink of an eye... If they were really enemies, they would still hate, be furious, and avenge their dead compatriots. However, the other party is a devil, a devil with no humanity at all. He looked careless, but when a soldier tried to sneak away from the team, he instantly cut it into two sections. The people present did not see how he died, but the method of killing has been seen many times. The devil in black still followed the movement of the ** horse and shook on the saddle.

According to Lucia, as long as they can be restrained, this group of soldiers can be regarded as private soldiers of Xius. Xius had no idea about how to control it. On the one's part, he had never tried to discipline anyone in the past, and on the other, he was more accustomed to doing it himself than commanding him, which caused the current appearance - a complete terrorist suppression, and morale was extremely low.

"The first 20 miles is the largest town in Qiaosheng. We can go and replenish it." Vic, who felt that the atmosphere was very depressed, tried to break the deadlock. He was the only mercenary who had nothing to do.

"Hmm." Sius only gave such an answer, and then the whole team fell silent again.

Seeing this, Vic patted Claude, who was still wrapped in bandages, "No, this guy doesn't seem to be able to do it at all!"

"What can't work?" Claude asked knowingly that when he knew that Lucia was not the sister of Xius and told himself that it was also a pseudonym, a sour thing filled his brain.

Vick smiled helplessly, "You are not happy. If it hadn't been for someone, you would have died in that wilderness."

Claude lowered his head and said nothing. Although he said so, he still felt that he had been played with.

"That's a magic swordsman, we can't compare," patting his best friend on the shoulder, and Vic was afraid that he would sink deeper and deeper. "At first, the relationship between Miss Luna and her brother didn't look normal. I thought they were eloped by sister and brother, so I didn't stop you, but now it's different. Touching the lion will die.

"Her name is not Luna." Claude rubbed his nose and turned his eyes aside.

Vick smiled bitterly. This best friend is usually generous and organized, but once he starts to be more serious, nine cows will not come back. Looking at him like this, it's probably difficult to come back for a while.

"Chu, go to the town and ask the soldiers to sell all the things they can sell and act lightly, otherwise we can't afford to raise so many people." Lucia, who had been hanging her eyelids, suddenly said.

In response, Theus nodded, "Listen to you." Because he has no idea at all.

Maybe it has entered the era of chaos. When people enter the town, they find that there are surprisingly few merchants in this town, and the rest are mostly old and young, giving people a feeling of hopeless.

The villagers disbanded to buy some dry food. At this time, food is in short supply, and no one can care about anyone, so everyone buys their own. If you have a good relationship, you can borrow some.

The mercenaries helped each other to go to the local church or doctor for treatment.

The soldiers left behind stood and trembled slightly in the cold wind at the mouth of the town. They didn't know what the devil in front of them wanted to do with them.

Mathus, who glanced at the group of people standing together in twos and threes in front of him, felt a slight headache. After receiving more than 200 people at Lucia's request, he is still a mess in his mind. Since he accepted them, he would have to raise such a group of people, and all he had to eat. But he really doesn't know how to arrange this group of people. If he follows his method, it's better to send them all to hell.

The teenager hugged his hands without saying a word. The soldiers facing him were also trembling and at a loss.

"Chu, let them hand over all the extra weapons and belongings first, and everyone leaves only spears and swords." Lucia said so, and naturally the young man who had no idea did not object.

But no one moved. Is it superfluous? How can this happen, but no one wants to hand it in. Seeing this, Xius frowned, "Do you want to die?"

Immediately, the soldiers began to **. They were really scared, and many people hurriedly handed over all their homes. Perhaps he robbed a lot of refugees, and soon there was a pile of gold, silver and jewelry in front of him. Lucia was not happy when she saw these things, but shook her head: "Are you idiots? What's the use of this kind of thing at this time!" The little woman in front of Xius has completely disappeared, replaced by a completely strong woman image.

Sius looked at her a little stunned. For the first time, he knew that Lucia also had this side.

Lucia also knows that she is a tiger, but now that Xiusi can't do it, it's time for her to do it well. "Who has the biggest position of you now?"

"I." A burly man came out, "I'm the centurion, and I'm the only centurion who survived last night." After saying that, he took a look at Xius, and there was still some hidden hatred in his frightened eyes.

"Find two people to clean up this pile of things, leave the gold, take all the rest to the town, resell everything that can be resold, and force buy and sell it." Lucia paused for a moment and lowered her voice, "Find someone you trust. If you run away, you and them will die."

The man swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes, my lord." After saying that, he turned around and pointed to the two people, "You and you, come out."

The other side went to explain the matter, and Lucia turned her eyes to the remaining soldiers. As long as he took action in the massacre last night, he must have been killed. In other words, everything that survived was unharmed. So she gave a strange order, "Listen, everyone. Now go and search for all the beasts within 50 miles of the town. If it's an ordinary beast, kill them directly. If it's a dragon beast, come back and report it. Of course, you can run away, but you will bear the consequences. Well, start to act in groups of three to five!"

After Lucia finished speaking, all the soldiers turned their eyes to Xius. Only when he agreed did the order take effect. Although Xius did not understand why Lucia did this, he nodded and agreed.

Looking at the scattered soldiers, Lucia turned around and said, "Hair, don't you ask me why I did this?"

Six shook his head. He didn't care at all, so he didn't bother to ask.

"Once people are idle, they will become restless. I just find something for them to do, and by the way, I can hoard some dry food or something. But if someone really runs away, it will shake the army's heart, so please take care of it!" The girl threw a playful wink but was dodged by Xius by turning a blind eye.

"Did you plan to do this from the beginning?"

"If Xiu hadn't been able to lead troops at all, I wouldn't have intervened in such a troublesome thing. It's the most tiring to manage people." Even so, Lucia still looks like a cheap and obedient cat.

"I know." After saying that, Theus disappeared into the air.

When Sius left, Lucia also breathed a long breath. To be honest, she felt that she still didn't do such a thing from time to time. It looks really majestic for hundreds of big men, but the psychological pressure is too heavy. I used to think how majestic it was to lead troops to war, but now it seems that it is not suitable for me! It is necessary to adapt to this identity as soon as possible.

However, when it comes to Sius, Lucia felt that since he began to escape, the wild feeling suddenly disappeared, replaced by complete laziness and ubiquitous relaxation. She knew that it was because Xiusi suddenly felt that he had suddenly lost all his motivation. Xiusi, who had just begun to plan to fight for power, turned out to be like this for a long time. The imperial emperor changed a person in the blink of an eye. He felt that power was boring and normal. He had to find a way for him to ignite his desire for power again.

Just as Lucia was thinking about what to do, a figure slowly came from the opposite side. Good afternoon, Luna, no, Miss Lucy."

"My name is Lucia." This is the first time that Lucia has revealed her full appearance in front of this man. Belsus's most beautiful tears have long been used to the other party's admiring and amazing eyes, polite and pleasant smile.

"Miss Lucia, I want to know who you are?" Claude and the others were not informed of the name of Sius, and in the scene last night, Claude had already classified Xius as a murderer of the same level as the dragon beast.

"He is my husband." Even the ambiguous words of fiance are useless. Lucia wants to directly cut off all his delusions.

"Impossible!" The lost Claude didn't want to accept this fact, "How can you have such a husband, and you don't look just 15 years old."

"I was already his man a few years ago." Lucia came down with a cold face, "Please keep your manners. I love my husband very much. If you insult him, it is equivalent to insulting me."

"I'm sorry." The young mercenary commander was like an eggplant beaten by frost, but he still didn't want to leave.

Vick, who was hiding aside, looked at his old friend's sadness and couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly walked out of the corner and said, " Good afternoon, Miss Luna. Claude, Gal's injury over there has healed, but the priest's price is a little high. I'm looking for you!" After saying that, regardless of Claude's motion, he pulled his arm away. Until she disappeared at the entrance of the town, Lucia did not look at the poor man again.

In fact, if he is a soldier, Xius is probably the best soldier.

In the evening, 233 people, many of them, came back, and now they are busy camping in the mouth of the town. The teenager stood on the high ground not far from the camp with Zhengzong in his arms, motionless as if he were a god for people to admire. This group of soldiers did regard Sius as a god because of the pile of animal corpses piled up on the edge of the camp that were being dissected into dried meat by dozens of people.

450 beasts and twelve dragon beasts, including a complete pack of wolves. In the end, many people were exhausted just by towing their bodies. There were not enough people, so they had to go to the town to ask people to help transport so many prey back. Local hunters have been stunned to see this number, which is more than the number they can hunt in a month in the whole town. After Lucia agreed to cheaply exchange some things such as fur and other things that are no longer used for food, the hunters also joined the anatomical treatment.

"May I not stand here?" Sius looked at Lucia who came over with disgruntled eyes.

"No, now is the time to establish the glorious image of Lord Xius, not only to suppress it by force, but also to convince them of you." In fact, Lucia didn't expect her idea to have such a good effect.

"Are you really going to let me lead them?"

"Yes!" Lucia walked behind Xius and suddenly hugged him from behind, as if it was the first time they met. Lucia, who was slightly tall, gently blew in Xiusi's ear, "Didn't you decide to find what you were cling to?"

At this time, Xius was no longer the young boy. He pretended not to feel it and answered calmly, "Yes, but this feeling is different."

Ah? Is it different from the original feeling? The girl smiled and deliberately twisted her body in her arms. Xius felt a soft and numb feeling behind her, "Is this feeling different from before?"

"Don't make trouble." It's men who can't stand this kind of murder weapon.

"What are you talking about? They don't understand." Probably every girl can do this skill of coquettishness!

"I told you not to make trouble..."

"They are not making trouble..."

At the bonfire, Claude glanced at the two and chewed the barbecue on his mouth like angrily. Vic smiled bitterly and handed over the beer beside him. He didn't expect Claude to forget the woman immediately, just hoping not to cause the horror of the teenager.
