Chapter 3 Long Night, Disappearing Enemies?
Dusk, in the earth city.
The knight in armor was ready to go, and the horses stepped on a little dust.
Sofia and Leot, Borit, Meggie and Feifeng gathered in the temporary combat conference room and looked at the map on the table together.
"If the Knights rush overnight, they can reach the mouth of Mengluoxia before tomorrow, take a rest, and then attack directly," Leot said. "Although the terrain of Mengluoxiakou is conducive to hiding, it is not conducive to the deployment of troops. In the face of the threat of *, the enemy has no room to disperse at all."
"And the enemy should not have thought that we could find them so soon," Sophia said. "As long as we pay attention to hiding when march, it will be no problem to win this battle."
"But don't be careless," General Leot said. "When Borui took the Knights of the Wind to the mouth of Mengluoxia, Your Highness, you still have to take * to get there first to monitor the movements of the enemy and avoid their sudden transfer."
Princess Sophia nodded.
"In addition," Leot glanced at the princess. "In the course of the battle, please also ask the princess to find Her Majesty as first as possible. We don't need to completely annihilate those rebels. As long as Parnqi dies, his men will be defeated without a fight. At that time, they will be captured or surrendered, and it will also help us to preserve our strength.
Sofia nodded again. Although there is a dull pain in her heart, she has no choice now. Only by piercing Tinuvir's heart can she kill the prince of darkness. Whether she wants to or not, she can only do it.
"I'm going with Her Royal Highness and Meiji." Yu Feng raised his head and blinked playfully.
"No," Leot directly rejected her request. "You stay."
"Why?" The water elf squeezed his lips unhappily, "Anyway, the other party's magician has been interfering with my prophecy, and I can't stay here. With Your Highness and Meggie, you may be able to monitor them, so that they don't know that the enemy will run away.
Princess Sofia blushed. In her heart, she did think that when she and Meji were monitoring the enemy tonight, she could do something else to make up for the loneliness when she left her some time ago. Of course, it's not that she only thinks about private matters and ignores the task. It's just that it takes at least one night for the Knights of the Wind to get to Mengluoxia. Although her and Meji's task is to monitor, after all, it is an army of thousands of people. No matter how much she and Meggie "invested", there can't be so many people in the bottom of their eyes. It's transferred, and you can't notice it, right?
Leot ignored the wind's protest, but just knocked on the table gently with his fingers, making a series of rhythmic soft noises. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said, "No, not only the wind can't leave, but also the elf priests can't leave."
Sufia and Yufeng looked at each other in consternment. The eight elf priests from Crescent Island brought by the wind are still here, except for Abis, who were taken to the Fog Girl Forest by Sophia. Because of their range of light magic in the auxiliary and healing effect in battle, basically, they directly follow the Knights to do some magic before the charge and quickly heal the wounded on the battlefield or after the war. It is their existence that the casualties in the Wind Knights in battle are greatly reduced.
And this time, they are likely to face the most important battle after entering Horceton County, but Leot wants to leave those elf priests in the rear?
"The Wind Knights also left 400 people," said Leot. "If everything goes according to our plan, even if 400 knights and the seven elf priests are missing, with the cooperation of *, there will not be too many casualties on our side. So, leave some more people here just in case.
"What's the chance?" Sophia doesn't quite understand. She is sure that what is hidden in the mouth of Mengluoxia is indeed Panqi's main force, and as long as she watches at *, Panqi can't bypass the Knights of the Wind to attack here.
"Just be careful." Leot frowned, "I just don't understand why Panqi and his army are hiding at the mouth of Monroe Gorge?" Several roads from Mengluokou to here are basically under our control. If they just want to sneak up on us, Mengluoxiakou is by no means a good choice. Last night, I just wanted to be more cautious, so I listed Mengluoxiakou as a reconnaissance target. In fact, in my opinion, Panqi will not hide in that kind of place at all.
Sofia couldn't help nodding. Although the mouth of Monroe Gorge is between two cliffs, except for those hills, the surrounding places are relatively flat. If Panchi wants to attack soldiers from Dilu County from there, it is difficult not to be discovered by Sophia's scouts in advance. Although the gorge is more conducive to defense in the terrain, such a defensive advantage is nothing for Sophia with *. It can even be thought that the overlong terrain has maximized the power of *.
This is not to say that there is something wrong with the way Panqi hides the army and waits for the fighters. To be fair, it is indeed the best choice for the other party. However, from the few places that Sophia looked at today, Mengluoxiakou is really not the best hiding place.
Although there are some doubts in their hearts, Sophia and General Leot can only continue to carry out the planned battle plan. After all, this is indeed a good opportunity to destroy Panchi and his rebels in one fell swoop.
*
Sop on a dirt slope near the mouth of Mengluoxia, Sophia and Meji sat quietly in a shadow. The moonlight is already very light, and the reflection of Shanlan has completely erased their shadows. Even so, Meji still applied some techniques such as protective magic detection around them, and also used a boundary for sound shielding.
"There's still a lot of time!" Meiji smiled and reached out to touch Sophia.
Sofia couldn't help but be angry and funny. Just as she thought in the evening that she could "do something" while waiting, Meiji obviously had this idea for a long time.
"I still don't want it," she sighed and gently grabbed Meiji's hand that had reached into her skirt. "The wind reminds you that it's right. It's not good if the business is delayed."
"Don't worry, I have put several 'mage's eyes' around me, and no matter what the movement is, it is impossible to escape my eyes."
"Even when you do that, can you still control your magic?" Sophia said angrily.
"Are you underessing my concentration in casting?" Meiji touched Sophia's lips with a black kiss.
Actually, why didn't Sophia's heart move? Moreover, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for Panqi to transfer his army without any movement, right? However, she finally put up with it and just stretched out her hands to hold Meggie: "Ly down and don't move."
In desperation, Meggie had to rest on her lap.
"Sofia..."
"Hmm?"
"I'm lonely on a long night."
"You're lonely," Sophia laughed. "With me with you, are you still lonely?"
"I'm lonely just because you're with me like this." Megid lifted her skirt and buried her head in. "You can do more."
"Do you think I don't want to?" Sophia still stared at the gorge in front of her. "It's just that the wind in the evening still makes me a little uneasy. I always feel that this operation will not be so smooth.
"The prophecy of the wind is not effective at all times. It's strange to believe her." Meiji said, "She can only be more sure about what has happened. Even so, Parnqi has been hiding for so many days, and she still can't find it?"
"You can't say that either." Sophia said, "She must have seen something about the future, otherwise, she would not have insisted that I take Abith to the Fog Girl Forest and let Abice stay there to take care of Alice."
"Is that the request of the wind?" Meiji is a little confused. He has always felt strange that even if a priest is needed to preside over his wedding with Alice, he will not have to leave an elf priest who can play an important role in the battlefield in the fog girl forest, right? Besides, although Alina is pregnant, she is not in any terrible danger after all. Even if she is worried that several girls such as Anna and Zia are still young and have no experience in taking care of pregnant women, at most, she can ask Druiy, a woman in the Kyle village to help take care of her.
"Don't you think," Meiji hesitated for a moment. "After Abis got there, there was nothing to accompany Alina, but very close to Anna?"
"Nonsense, you just learned that Alice was pregnant with your child in those two days, and she always giggled around her. Of course, Abbas was embarrassed to disturb you and Alice." Sophia smiled and said, "What, do you still suspect that the wind will die?"
"Well, that's right. Anyway, the wind will never hurt me." Meiji thought for a moment, "Yes, where did Emma go? Why haven't you seen her here these days?
"After all, she is a vampire. It's not good to stay in a crowded place. I arranged for her to carry out some reconnaissance missions." Sophia said, "Do you only think of her at this time?"
"Well, I've been with you and comforting Liselle these two days, and I haven't seen you for a long time, so I didn't expect her..."
"Did you forget me when you were in New Asia?" Sophia asked, "At that time, you had Alice and Anna, as well as Zia and Zhina..."
"This, that..."
"If you dare to say that you forgot me, I will beat you!"
"How is that possible? Haha, I miss you every day. Even when Alice and Anna are with me, I miss you all the time.
"This answer is almost the same!"
"Ha...haha..."
......
The night is getting darker and darker.
"Meggie," Sophia pushed the sleepy Megee, "Don't fall asleep. Is your magic still effective?
Meggie sat up and shook her head vigorously to wake herself up: "Well, my mage's eyes have been watching, and they haven't moved."
Through the mage's eyes, he could see that the soldiers on patrol were still walking around, and the horses were still there. Of course, since he himself has used illusions to deceive the enemy at the Guai Pass, his mage's eyes are superimposed with the "real vision".
"But just waiting like this, I really want to sleep." Meiji yawned.
Sofia hesitated for a moment: "Well, you can do whatever you want, but don't forget too much. Anyway, you can't relax your surveillance of the enemy for a moment."
"No problem." Megsy immediately got excited and began to lift the beautiful princess's skirt.
"You man." Sophia sighed helplessly and had to let him do something wrong.
Mejiben endured for several hours. At this time, he got permission and naturally couldn't help getting up and down. Gradually, Sophia was also confused by him, and hot airflows swam between her skin. The air began to be filled with the smell of **mi, and the whisper continued intermittently for a long time, until their bodies sublimated into a wonderful and soothing trembling during the convulsions.
While closing her eyes and feeling the caress after the lover, on the other hand, Sophia couldn't help reminding: "Pay attention to spying the enemy."
Meggie kissed her** chest: "Don't worry, my magic has been... Well, wait a minute."
He sat up awkwardly, gestured, and re-released the "eye of the mage". At the moment when he just released his life energy, he still couldn't maintain his concentration in casting, so he had to replay it again.
"Is the enemy still there?" Sophia asked carelessly. Although she relaxed for a while, she was actually not too worried. Thousands of troops can't be transferred in such a while, can they?
"Well, of course... No, it's gone..."
"Oh, it's gone, that's good...what?" Sophia suddenly opened her eyes, "Is it gone?"
"The enemy has disappeared." A cold sweat appeared on Meiji's forehead. He manipulated the mage's eyes to go back and forth over the gorge, but it was true that everyone was gone.
"Don't make such a joke," Sophia complained. "It's not funny at all."
"...this is not a joke."
The two were silent for a while, and then jumped up suddenly. Sophia quickly summoned* while tidying up her clothes. The flaming giant bird rose from a distance and roared in front of them.
