Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

In front of Stone City, checkpoint fortress.

Neferi tightened the bandage on her arm, and a little blood slowly seeped out.

Hyde stood next to Neferi:

King, you'd better take a rest. You rush to the front every time, and the injuries you suffered haven't healed yet.

Neferi smiled heartily:

It's okay, let's just work together.

Neferi, with the help of Hyde, started on the right path to unify Nimgofo.

The process was surprisingly smooth, and the armor of the Rotten Knight was a great help. When the enemy saw the armor, half of the battle was in chaos. If they encountered those with weak minds, it would directly trigger a large number of deserters and even mutinies.

Enemies on the opposite side will flee away in search of an antidote to prevent them from being infected by the corruption of the Corrupt Knight.

This result is not surprising to Hyde.

Because just to make his soldiers wear this armor, the effort is no less than that of a big battle.

Relying on the deterrence of corruption, Hyde's army swept through Nimgofu with overwhelming force, pacifying one territory after another along the way.

Until we get to Stonewell's level.

Hyde looked at the level and exclaimed:

I've heard that Shidong City encountered a natural disaster and was punished by the Golden Tree. I didn't expect it to be so serious.

The old levels and cliff paths have disappeared, replaced by a rugged landscape caused by the passage of lava.

The mountains and rocks are intertwined, and the rough rocks of different sizes are endless at a glance.

The sandstorm barrier has disappeared, and the endless storm surrounding Stone City has not yet weathered the earth that has been remelted into one piece.

The road is not easy to walk, but the wind and sand, the guards, and the fortifications built around the cliff have also disappeared, which is a pros and cons.

Neferi swings her ax:

Those who participated in the last war should go to the rear to rest and recuperate. The others will follow me!

Behind Neferi, the warriors wearing the armor of the Corrupted Knights roared one after another.

Hyde was not so excited, he looked at Nefeli worriedly.

He follows Neferi all the time, and he knows how hard Neferi has been in recent days.

She thoughtfully asked the soldiers to rest in rotation to prevent overwork, but she never rested and took the lead in charging every time.

In the past month, Neferi may only sleep for three hours a day, and the rest of the time has been spent fighting, patrolling, and thinking about battle plans.

Hyde felt that there was still a lot of time, and even if the time limit stipulated by Wuming passed, it would not be a big deal if the talisman of the elevator was given to him.

Hyde didn't want to see Neferi working so hard.

Her toned bronze muscles had shrunk, and no matter how cheerful she was, she could not hide the fatigue on her face. The hands holding the Storm Eagle Ax would occasionally tremble.

Hyde stood in front of Neferi:

King, please rest for a few days and let the soldiers rest for a while. I think your soldiers are also willing to share this last battle with you. This battle is full of honor and they will not want to miss it because of rest.

Neferi frowned.

Although she was staring at the two dark circles and her figure was a little thinner, after the continuous battles, the majesty on her body became thicker and thicker. Just a frown made Hyde feel like a light on his back.

Ah, I know, you are just deliberately looking for an excuse to let me rest, right? Neferi smiled, showing off her wisdom.

Hyde admitted:

That's right, my king, even if I have to bear the king's wrath, I will remonstrate directly. Your body is about to collapse.

Neferi waved her hand, signaling the flag officer to convey the message and order the team to stop temporarily.

She hung her axes on her waist and reached out to touch Hyde's stubble:

I know you mean well, Hyde. You don't need to tell me this. Soldiers know their own bodies best.

Then you should cherish your body more. Only with the king can Nimgefu have hope. Hyde said.

Neferi looked firmly into the distance, Stonewell's small outline looming in the clear storm.

She retracted her gaze and looked at Haide, her expression softening: I know, I know it all. But Haide 伶 has also said that if you become the king of Nimgefu as soon as possible, the turmoil here can end as soon as possible.

She clasped her fingers:

Along the way, we saw twenty-three villages massacred, five territories plundered, and corpses strewn in the streets. The immortal old man was hung from a tree, with arrows stuck all over his body, just because of his thin body. It’s convenient for those thieves to practice their arrows.”

Thinking of this, Neferi grasped the handle of the ax again, her hands turning blue:

I swore when I was young that when I gained strength, I would never let such a scene happen again. I would blow up a storm and blow away the filth in the wind.

How can I sleep peacefully without cleaning up this filth!

When Hyde heard Neferi's declaration, he didn't know what to say.

It was this clear mind that made him willing to assist Neferi. But it was this pure mind that was pushing her to the edge of physical collapse.

Seeing Hyde's tangled and painful expression, Neferi laughed boldly and patted Hyde on the shoulder:

Don't worry, I won't die. At most I will stay in bed for a while. Anyway, as long as you are here, Hyde, you will be responsible for taking care of me then.

Hyde looked a little bitter.

He was indeed grateful for Neferi's trust, but as a civil servant, if someone wanted to plot evil while King Neferi was recovering from her injuries, he would not be able to stop him.

Neferi gave the order again, and the team started moving again.

She didn't know that her body was tired, but as a brave man in the wilderness, it would not be in line with her character to rest for a while if the challenge was just around the corner.

She could have been less eager to advance. She could have grown and experienced more, and even waited until her adoptive father became the King of Elden to calm down the turmoil here.

Neferi did not wait any longer. She had not waited before and would not wait now.

This is also a trial in the wilderness.

Only between life and death can one tell whether a person has the capacity to be a king.

Can't back down! Neferi roared, blowing towards Stonewell like a thunderstorm.

Seeing Nefeli's indomitable back, Hyde smiled with a complicated expression. He gave up trying to stop Neferi.

Hyde rarely let go of his aristocratic reserve and etiquette, suddenly raised a golden knife, and started yelling after her.

Thunder broke through the wind curtain and received a surprise as soon as it arrived in front of Stone City.

Haide was ready to accompany Nefeli to death, and Neferi was ready to fight to the death. They were all dumbfounded when they saw the main entrance of Stone City.

Hyde said: What's going on? What's going on?

A big banner hangs at the main entrance of Stone City:

Warmly welcome King Neferi to Stonewell.

In front of the main entrance, knights and civilians lined the streets to welcome them, shouting loudly:

Thank you for your hard work, King Neferi!

King Neferi is here, and there is peace in Stone City!

King Neferi is here, and there is a blue sky!

Just try to use this leave coupon. I feel like I still need to stop occasionally and collect my thoughts, so as not to push myself into a dead end.
