Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Seeing that he didn't speak at this time, Shia asked, "Right? You didn't give up your position as head of the Knights just to fight the enemy, so you..." She pondered.

Bad, is this going to force the palace?What to do?Leoric really couldn't think of an excuse, so he had to put his mind to one side and said, "Shia, I really don't know how to say this, you, can you understand?" Damn, what am I talking about, what do I think A high school student who has never been in a relationship... Oh, I have never been in a relationship, so it's okay.

Shia was thinking: What?He said he didn't know how to speak?And ask me if I can understand?

A secret that cannot be spoken?What is it that keeps him from talking to me?Obviously he is so kind to me, obviously he has been kind to me again and again, what is it...

Masaka!

He really likes me! ?

Shia's face turned red instantly, she covered her mouth with her fair and slender left hand, her eyes were nervous and excited.

Leoric was stunned seeing this scene, thinking: What's wrong?Could it be that he likes me?Impossible!Leoric, this is one of the three major illusions in life, "She likes me!" Don't make this kind of little virgin to make mistakes, because you are an old virgin!

At this time, Shia said very seriously: "Okay, I understand, I will not disappoint you, Leoric..." She pondered for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Wait until the battle is over." Afterwards, would you like to go with me to the Black Rock Collar?"

Ps: Black Rock Territory, the fiefdom of Duke Leikui.

Leoric said without even thinking about it: "Okay! I heard that there are many deer in the hunting ground in Black Rock, and they are as stupid as roe deer. Take me to play later?"

When it comes to hunting, then Leoric is very good at it. Hunting skills have nothing to do with the truths he learned, but purely the skills he developed himself.When he first came to this world, his family was so poor that he could not eat meat, and he happened to have a hunting bow and spear at home, so he went up the mountain to catch rabbits and wild game by himself, so he developed his skills.The venison from the Black Rock Collar is a famous delicacy in the swamp, and Leoric really wanted to see it.I heard that there is a big lake over there, which is rich in crooked mouth fish with more meat and less thorns. Wouldn't it be beautiful for me to hunt during the day and fish at night?

In short, he, who was addicted to hunting, didn't hear Shia's "hint".

However, upon hearing Leoric's reply, Shia immediately became excited, and said, "Then you agreed? Okay! We have an appointment! Father will definitely like you."

"Yeah." Does your dad also like hunting?

"Okay, okay! I, uh, I'm leaving?"

"Go slowly." Leoric nodded.

Then Shia seemed to escape from Leoric's room. She didn't know how she got back to the room all the way, her heart was pounding, and it took a long time for her to recover.

"Father, your daughter is finally going to become an adult." She murmured.

Chapter 22: The Crow King Who Stops Crying

North of Wild Wolf City, Tukalu Tribe, Barbarian King's Tent——

Crow King Charidan sat cross-legged on a soft couch, holding a slender cigarette pouch in his left hand, and a yellowed ancient book in his right hand, with an expression on his face like an old monk in meditation.

More than a dozen envoys from different tribes or countries sat kneeling under him, each with serious expressions.

Charlie Dan said, "Say it, I'll finish it in the time of a bag of cigarettes."

His voice sounded very weird, obviously it didn't use much force, but it could penetrate people's eardrums, which made people feel awed.

The first emissary came from a vassal tribe under Charlene's command. This tribe was called "Hatu". 200 years ago, it lived on potatoes and hunting in the bitter cold land. The fertile plains of Middle-earth stood firm.They no longer hunted, and lived by growing rice, and the chiefs of the tribe lived in warm castles.

Hatu's envoy was a handsome young man in a white robe, with a slender figure. He saluted and said, "Our family is willing to cooperate with the king to send troops. We will send two hundred cavalry, one thousand infantry, and one hundred carts of food and grass."

Charlie Dan took a puff of a cigarette, closed his eyes and thought about it, and said, "You still have a conscience, thank you."

Then a maid in transparent gauze came from outside the door, holding a large tray in her hand, which contained warm spirits, a whole roasted pork knuckle, a table knife, a bag of gold coins, and a collar.

The envoy was overjoyed. He first cut a piece of meat with a table knife and ate it, then raised the wine glass to toast the Crow King, then put the gold coins into his pocket, and put the collar around the beautiful maid's neck, like leading a sheep gone.

"Next." The Crow King knocked on his cigarette pouch.

The second messenger was a half-demon. He had the face and body of a human, but had horns on his head and fangs sticking out of his mouth.He stood up and bowed neatly like a machine, and said quickly, "The Witch King has three wizards, two hundred foot soldiers, and fifty black steel swords."

The Crow King opened one eye and said, "Your conscience is broken, punish you!"

So an old woman with rough hands and feet came from outside, carrying a plate with a large bowl of excrement on it.The half-devil gritted his teeth, drank the bowl of excrement water in front of everyone, and then burped a foul smell, and the messengers laughed exaggeratedly.The half-devil saluted three times, then took his leave.

"Next," said the Crow King.

The next messenger was a woman with a painted face, from the "Takamous tribe", which means "lynx of the woods".The tribe lived in the northwest forest, at the junction of the two major barbarian tribes, occupying the main road of transportation, and relatively wealthy.

The woman saluted and said, "King Crow, our king will send a thousand soldiers, five hundred archers, and gold..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, the Crow King said loudly, "Your consciences stink!"

His usual voice is harsh enough, but when he speaks loudly, it is even more piercing. His voice is really like a carrion crow, making one's scalp numb.

The woman quickly argued: "No, king, please listen to our explanation! The harvest these years is really bad, the kingdom can't make ends meet, and when the 'Supreme King' started the war with the demons, he also conscripted us to collect food, our land There is really no…”

"Shut up," said the Crow King.

The female messenger was silent.

Then the Crow King stood up. He was not obvious when he was sitting, but when he stood up, everyone was shocked by his burly figure.The Crow King is nearly two meters tall, with lean skin and a strong frame, but his shoulders are narrow; his hands and feet are slender, especially his arms are longer than his legs, and his huge hands are like animal claws. Long as a dagger and sharp as a blade.

He looked at the messenger in front of him with those sharp eyes, and said, "I know the population, income, and land in your territory. I can actually make a list for you to implement. The list As much as you write on it, you have to provide me with it. But I didn’t do that!”

He put on a black cloak like a black strange bird.

"I give you the right to choose freely. If you have a good conscience, you will be rewarded; if you have a bad conscience, it doesn't matter; but people like you..." He suddenly bent down like a bird of prey, leaning against the The woman's face roared, "The conscience is so bad, it stinks like bird droppings!"

The woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and then she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Great King! We really have nothing left, we didn't hide it on purpose..."

At this time, the Crow King glanced at her nails and said, "I heard that the lynx's claws are very sharp."

"Uh?"

"Come here, fetch the steel needle."

Hearing the word steel needle, the messenger probably already guessed what was going on.She burst into tears, wailing and begging for mercy.But it was useless, the maid outside had already come up with a plate full of steel needles.

The Crow King said: "Put these steel needles into your nails."

The envoy widened his eyes in horror and said, "No, don't! Please, don't!"

"Hurry up." The Crow King put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

Five fingers connected to a heart, but in comparison, life is more important.So the messenger had no choice but to stretch out his hands and say, "Please." He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no feeling from his fingers.She opened her eyes with a little luck, and asked: "Crow King, you..." Did you show mercy?

The Crow King smiled and said, "You have to do it yourself."

"Hey?"

The Crow King pointed to the steel needles on the tray, and said with a smile: "Yes, you have to insert these steel needles into your nails yourself, all nails - hurry up, I'm impatient." He patted the handle of the knife.

What happened next is really hard to describe in words.The messenger's screams spread across two streets. The child dared not cry when he heard it, and the vicious dog tucked its tail.

After a while, the messenger raised his bloody hands and said, "Crow, Crow King, I'm done."

The Crow King shook his head with regret.

The messenger was terrified and angry, and said, "Aren't you going to let me go!?"

"I say all nails," said the Crow King.

"All nails?" The courier looked at his ten fingers in confusion.

The Crow King smiled and said, "Don't you have nails on your feet?"

At that moment, the messenger's face was ashen.

Even veterans who have been on the battlefield can't bear to look at the scene that follows.Xin continued to complete the second half of the punishment with her injured hands. She was powerless to scream and only let out low growls.

But the Crow King was laughing, and said: "A smart person will insert his toenails first, and then his hands! Everyone here, please remember this little trick, in case it will be useful in the future? Hahahahahahaha..."

Everyone present was pale, like a dead person.

"Go back and tell your king, go back and look at your conscience in the mirror, if it's dirty, wash it, if it's broken, repair it, if he doesn't know how to use it, I can help him repair it— Fix it for me within seven days, don't waste my time."

"Yes, my king!"

"Let's go."

In the end, the messenger of the Lynx tribe crawled out.

The Crow King nodded and said, "Next."

This time it was a half-breed elf girl wearing a hoodie. Her lips were trembling and her face was blue, obviously frightened.

"Speak?" said the Crow King.

"Five, five thousand..."

"What?"

The girl said, "Five thousand infantry! Two thousand archers! One thousand cavalry! And one thousand armor! Five carts of herbs! Well, ten thousand gold coins."

The Crow King's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "How did your conscience... grow?"

The girl said, "Huh? You...do you think it's not enough?"

The Crow King waved his hand and said, "No, no, no! Very good! If every tribe was as kind and generous as your half-blooded elves, then we would have driven the demons back to their hometown. Oh, boy, what's your name?"

The girl took off her hood, revealing her delicate and beautiful face."My name is Selawi," she said.

The Crow King took a sip of his pipe and said, "Very well, tell your queen..."

"Crow King, I haven't finished yet!"

The Crow King said, "What's the matter?"

"Well, things can't be delivered right away."

"Oh?" The Crow King showed a meaningful smile, "So your conscience is written on the check, tell me, how long will it take for me to see it?"

"About two months to deploy," Selawi said.

"Oh, two months..." The Crow King rubbed his chin and muttered, "But we are going to attack Wild Wolf City in a month, and the first-line troops have already moved out, and they will come in two months..."

Serawi said quickly: "Two months, definitely come in two months! It's just that it takes time for us to deploy resources, and, to tell you the truth, the half-blood elves are not very united. My sister needs some time to convince those stubborn sent someone, such as the old regent or something..."

"Your internal affairs have nothing to do with me, you can handle them yourself, but you said your sister? Oh, I remembered, you are the sister of the Elf Queen, right? Oh, little princess? Have you grown up so much?" Crow King He stroked Selawi's head with his huge hand. Although his tone and demeanor were like a kind elder at this time, Selawi still felt that he wanted to twist his head off.

"Yes, it is."

"Okay, for the sake of the little princess going there personally, I'll just trust you for once. After all, the siege battle doesn't last for a month, and reinforcements must be replenished in the middle of the siege... No reward No penalty, let's go down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Serawi hurried out of this gloomy and terrifying room.

She ran and ran until she reached the outside of the castle, and then she dared to take a deep breath.

elder sister!I did it!For two months, I procrastinated!

Then it depends on what you and Grandpa Regent do.

……

"The crows are circling in the sky, this is an ominous sign." General Akkad murmured.

At this time, the general and the two legion commanders were patrolling the city wall, and the scouts reported that the enemy's patrols were getting more and more, and they were getting closer to Wild Wolf City.Recently, several scouts who went out to investigate were discovered by enemy patrols, and they were chased all the way back to the city, and some were directly shot and killed by barbarian rangers.

The general has fought these barbarians all his life, and he knows very well how they fight.At this time the general said: "It is estimated that in ten days or so, the main force of the barbarians will arrive, and then they will start camping, build siege engines, and prepare to attack Wild Wolf City."

The head of the warrior group on the side asked: "Does the enemy really have a hundred thousand troops?"

At a time when the population is dying, 10 is a very scary number.Even counting the militia, it is difficult for the plateau people's national army to have [-] people.

In the past few days, the enemy has also spread rumors in the surrounding area, saying that within half a month, a hundred thousand troops from the Hundred Clans Alliance will be on the border, and there will be bad luck for Wild Wolf City.

The general pondered for a while, and said: "It is not scary to have an army of 3 attacking the city. We have 20 and we are the defenders. Even if [-] come, we are not afraid."

The two regiment leaders had never fought such a large-scale battle, so they looked at each other without speaking.At this time, the veteran explained: "Look, the walls of Wild Wolf City are not wide enough to deploy too many soldiers and horses. Even if you bring so many people, you can't display them. In that case, 10 people can only display them. The effect of 2 people. Moreover, there is a lack of trees that can build siege weapons in this area, and the enemy is not easy to attack. The city defense of Wild Wolf City is already strong. We have reinforced it several times in the past month. If we want to take it down, we must Pay a huge price..." The general hesitated to speak up to this point.

The two legion leaders looked at each other, and then the leader of the warrior group asked, "General, do you have any concerns?"

The general said: "Fighting depends on courage, but I see fear in the eyes of soldiers. During the 200 years of living in the swamp, the plateau people have accumulated as much fear as hatred in their hearts, and even more fear. Every year, barbarians overtake wild wolves The city came to blow the autumn wind on our land, and we said "blood debts are paid with blood!", but in fact, we have nothing to do with the fast-moving horse thieves. The only thing we can do is to send as many farmers as possible into the town, Rely on the city wall to resist these guys. But even so, many of our people died under the butcher's knife of horse thieves... Our territory is less than one-tenth of the enemy's, and the population is the same. You say, we How can a man not be afraid of the enemy?"

The leader of the warrior group was stunned and asked, "Then what should we do?"

General Akkad said: "We need a positive victory to remove the fear in the soldiers' hearts, so that when they see the huge bodies of giants, orcs and devils, they will not tremble in their calves; see You won’t be scared to pee your pants when you use a black steel scimitar.” The general stopped by the city wall and looked into the distance with his hands on the battlements. He pondered for a long time and said:

"I'm going to plan an attack."

"Attack?" The head of the Bloodspear Legion next to him frowned in surprise, and said, "Aren't we the defender? How do we attack?"

The general said: "Offensive and defensive exchanges are common in war."

"But we have to defend the city..." The head of Bloodspear still didn't understand what the general meant.

General Akkad took a deep breath, his old eyes were as sharp as eagles, and he said: "I want to open the city gate before the enemy can gain a firm foothold, and then send a warrior to lead a death squad to fight against the enemy." One is caught off guard. If this person can come back with a big victory, our army's morale will be greatly improved, and no matter what happens next, the soldiers will not lose their footing."

The general said and looked at the head of the warrior group.
