Cannon Fodder Strategy

Aturi found the place where several people got off the earth dragon yesterday. When they arrived in the frozen forest, they released the earth dragon and allowed them to move freely. These things have been trained by the army and will not leave too far. Aturi and When Lily and the two found it, the four earth dragons had been killed and frozen in huge ice blocks. They had obviously died long ago, and the remaining earth dragon had disappeared. It was obvious that Anna had come one step earlier than them. That earth dragon She has been ridden away.

Seeing such a scene, Lily's face suddenly became gloomy. She glanced at Aturi: "What should we do now?"

Without the Earth Dragon, if the two of them had to rely on their legs, they would have to go out of the mountains to find a place with people, and then exchange for transportation. It would be unknown how long it would be before they returned to the imperial capital. She felt a little angry. This time the mission was full of problems. It didn't go well. She had been suppressed by Anna, and now even the Earth Dragon was overtaken by her. Lily gritted her teeth, but Arturi looked calm: "I will take you out."

When Lily heard this, she wanted to cry without tears. She was not worried about not being able to go out. She would definitely be able to go out, but it was a matter of time. If it took ten days and a half to go out, everything would be over when she returned to the imperial capital.

Half a month later, after the Light Festival, once the choice of a saint is confirmed, she will never become a saint. Do she really have to accept her fate and return to his territory with Aturi and marry him? Lily's eyelids drooped, blocking the light in her eyes. She would definitely not agree to such a condition.

She also wants to return to the temple and become the Saint of Light, using the intimidating power of the temple and the strength of Andrew and other archbishops to protect herself. This is what Andrew, the old fox, owes to herself. She can take advantage of this period of time to practice hard. No matter how strong Anna is, Lily still doesn't want to admit defeat until the last moment. Since her mission this time is to save her life, she can't just do it casually. The task was completed by Anna.

Aturi had been looking down at her, and saw that her eyelids were drooping, blocking her thoughts. Although the expression on his face was as usual, his eyes seemed motionless under his thin eyelids.

No matter how well she concealed it, Aturi could tell that she was not as calm as she showed. Although the two were once so close, Lily didn't seem to be sincere to him, so he lowered his head. His forehead gently touched her cold and smooth cheek, and she suddenly asked:

"Can you go back early?"

"Why go back early?" She was still begging for herself at the moment and didn't want to break her face, so she still had some scruples when speaking. She didn't speak frankly, and Arturi also pretended to be confused, so he asked a question. Lily hesitated for a long time: "The Festival of Light is about to begin. After all, I am also a member of the Temple of Light. Even if I can't find the scepter this time, I still have to go back to deliver the mission. What's more, you have been summoned to the Imperial Capital by His Majesty the Emperor. Is it just to participate in the Festival of Light? It might not be good if you are late."

He didn't look panicked at all. Lily wondered if there was some way for him to get back earlier, so she said a few words. Aturi glanced at her calmly:

"Do you need to report to the people from the Temple of Light? After you go back this time, you should come back to the fiefdom with me. I have already asked people to start preparing for the wedding, and I don't really want to invite people from the Temple of Light to attend."

After saying that, he paused again and saw Lily couldn't help showing an anxious look for a moment, and suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth: "As for the emperor inviting me to participate in the Festival of Light, I will participate if I have time. If I don't If you go, what can you do?" Although the Arturi family still belongs to the Nore Empire in name, in fact, the military regime has long been independent and is a separate small country. The emperor of Nore has no control over it. to him.

What's more, the most important thing is that this time the Light Festival is of great importance, because the pope and the saint must be selected. The reason why the emperor discussed with several archbishops of the Light Temple to hold it in advance is because they were afraid that the people from the Dark Temple would stop the Light Temple. Elect a pope. After all, with a leader, the Temple of Light is equivalent to having a backbone and will rise again. The Dark Temple does not want to see such a scene. They have fought to the death with the Light Temple for many years, and they will definitely come to cause trouble. Therefore, in order to prevent the people from the Dark Temple from causing damage, after discussion, it was decided that the Light Festival will be held six months in advance. And the news has been blocked until the past few days, and the news has not been completely leaked. The purpose is to catch the people of the Dark Temple off guard. Even if they want to destroy it, they will not be prepared.

And in order to strengthen the defense, the temple did not know what kind of benefits it used to impress the emperor, and the emperor borrowed a guard force from Aturi. On the surface, Arturi suddenly entered the Imperial Capital. In fact, this time he brought people from the Imperial Capital. As long as his soldiers and guards are still in the Imperial Capital, the emperor may not care whether others are present, and maybe he will. She was extremely happy that he was not in the imperial capital.

This guard force is strong, but once Arturi leaves, they will be leaderless, and the emperor will naturally be on guard against him.

Arturi told Lily about these reasons, and Lily's heart suddenly went cold. A feeling of suffering came from the bottom of her heart. She rarely encountered such a situation where she suffered losses one after another during the long mission. , bad situations kept happening, and bad news came one after another. Aturi's words seemed to have cut off her retreat, and Lily couldn't help but feel a little angry:

"If that's the case, then why did you agree to come out with me?" She clearly knew that she came out for the Scepter of Light. She got the Scepter of Light because she wanted to become a saint of light, and she promised to marry Atu after that. Here, it's just a matter of interests, not sincere. But now she went out and didn't get the Scepter of Light. Now that she can't go back, the position of this saint has been ruined. She was also taken advantage of by Aturi. Now that the wedding is about to be held, she seems to be going Being pushed out of the fight, an inexplicable anxiety surged into Lily's heart, making the fire in her heart grow stronger and stronger.

She finally couldn't keep her calm face when she spoke, but Arturi didn't seem to care about her attitude towards her anger. When he heard this, he just raised his eyebrows:

"This choice is yours, my dear, I have never forced you." He was already furious, but he was still there. The most important thing was that when Lily thought about it carefully, she became a little depressed again.

It is true that he never forced himself from the beginning to the end. He only revealed a lot of inside information to himself and provided himself with some plausible clues. Every word he said was true, but it was intermittently. If these words were He connected it and said, then Lily might have guessed the truth, but just because he said some things consciously and did not tell everything, so what he said, after Lily thought it was verified, plus her own original For some reason, we entered the wrong dead end.

Coupled with some clues he provided, he tempted himself to see Anna and Brian having sex. From then on, Lily determined that Anna was the mission she wanted to complete. Now it seems that this conclusion is generally correct. But when I think about it seriously, I am totally wrong again! Aturi is as cunning as a fox. He tells the truth and does nothing. He is like a master at digging a hole, trapping himself into it step by step.

It was her own decision to want to participate in the Saintess Trial. She wanted to ask for his help, which was also her request. He made the request. Lily thought she was smart and thought she would find a way to return to the starry sky after completing the task and becoming a Saint, thinking she could avoid it. He therefore agreed.

But now that I think about it carefully, the matter has nothing to do with him at all. She thought she was smart but was misled by her cleverness. There is always a mountain as high as a mountain. This time she fell into trouble!

But Lily understood this, but she was angry in her heart: "You didn't force me, but you concealed some important clues. You misled me so that I didn't get the Scepter of Light this time. Our previous transactions should not be counted. !”

As if he had expected that she would regret and refuse to admit it, Aturi finally laughed. He stared at Lily with an indulgent look, and his eyes seemed to be filled with smiles:

"Indeed, there are some things I didn't say." He nodded and admitted. Just as Lily was about to speak, he continued: "But if I don't say it, what does it matter? If you didn't want to marry me at that time, There is no relationship between us. Why should I tell so much news to a strange lady? If you want to marry me, then whether you say something or not, the result will be the same as now. You will always marry me, so what do you think these concealments can do to hinder us?"

His words indeed sounded reasonable, which made Lily speechless. She stared at Aturi. After a long time, he still laughed out loud and wrapped his robe tightly around her, regardless of her dodge. , kissed her heavily on the lips.

The conversation between the two people in the frozen mountains came to an end for the time being. Without the earth dragon, Aturi began to hold Lily in his arms and tried to walk out with his strong willpower. Each step he took was not big, but he walked very steadily. Lily didn't want to pay attention to him at first, and the next two people walked like this After stopping and stopping, seeing that it was impossible to return to the imperial capital in ten days and a half, Lily became really anxious. She couldn't help but beg Aturi, and despite his semi-seduction, she was not really taken down by him again. After swallowing it into her stomach, but also eating a lot of tofu, Aturi finally led her to walk faster.

It took the two of them fifteen days to get out of the frozen mountains. In the past few days, Lily had to rely on his back most of the time because of her weak physical constitution. He was the one looking for food. Lily didn't suffer much yet. But after ten days, Lily still felt exhausted, but he was still energetic. The two of them left the mountains. Under Lily's urging, he found a local army and borrowed an earth dragon through some unknown method. After people got on the Earth Dragon, they finally set off towards the imperial capital.
