The big rat discovered this and mobilized the rats to violently attack the emperor's direct knights!
The knights were indeed the elite and professional soldiers of the feudal era. Complaints are true, but they were based on instincts trained over many years, and under the supervision of the knights who supervise the battles around them, they followed the professionals closely.
But combat effectiveness is inevitably reduced.
When the number of knights dropped sharply to only 30%, with a battle loss rate of 70%, they finally collapsed.
At this time, the Great Emperor Lancelot finally ran to the place pointed by the direction sign:
A palace halfway up the mountain.
The arrow of the Fountain of Youth is pointing to a little puppy basking in the sun and sleeping on the stone slab.
It doesn't matter if it's a bitch, milk can be said to be the fountain of youth.
The problem is that he is a male dog...
Lancelot leaned over and grabbed it, and a frightened voice came from his ears:
"Put it down!"
It was a woman's voice.
The other person was only in his twenties, and his skin was extremely pale. Some people believed him even if he said he was sixteen or seventeen.
"Emperor Yingming, this is Big Mouse's sister!" The intelligence officer recognized her immediately.
The two professionals entangled themselves with vines and captured Weir.
This depends on the fact that the other party is a woman, otherwise it would be a jungle of thorns, a prison of bones, a cave of death... and other terrible prisons of torture.
The great emperor nodded and led the soldiers into the palace on the mountainside.
The foot of the mountain has been besieged by rats.
But the great emperor Lancelot was not panicked at all.
The logistics officer activated the warehouse skill and took out a large amount of water, bread, salt, vegetables, meat, eggs... various supplies.
Then start feeding the horses.
Yes, feed the horses, not the people.
The knights, and even the professionals, took good care of their horses, ten times as much as they took care of their own father.
After all, if your own father doesn't take good care of you, he won't be willing to scold you. If you don't take good care of your horse, he will die if you don't take good care of him.
Thirty percent of knights who can survive now usually serve the best horses.
Mixed raw egg concentrate feed, washing and massaging, changing horseshoes, patiently soothing emotions...
At the same time, the attendants urgently arranged defensive facilities.
Lancelot held the sleeping puppy in his arms, gave it to a female professional, took good care of it, and then began to examine the nearby terrain.
The scout quickly shared his vision with His Majesty the Emperor through the spiritual link.
This is an unremarkable mountain, isolated on the plain, there is only this one mountain.
There is only one way up and down the mountain, which is not very steep.
In other words, it is easy to be surrounded.
In fact, they were surrounded by rats.
But the rats haven't attacked yet.
Halfway up the mountain is a palace, which should be used to escape the summer heat.
There were no servants in the palace, just a group of rats that had just been killed or driven away by professionals and had been cleaned up.
However, everyone still felt a little bit of danger, so they patiently checked every corner.
I'm afraid there is some secret passage that will allow the enemy to sneak in and attack.
You must know that their opponent is a mouse.
A sneak attack in the middle of the night would be a disaster.
Professionals are also afraid of sneak attacks. After all, releasing skills requires concentration and time.
For players, there can be more than a tenfold difference in combat effectiveness between being prepared and being unprepared.
After Lancelot inspected the terrain, he returned to the palace and called the female professionals.
The female professional was originally a maid of a nobleman and was temporarily recruited to make up the money.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a blessing in disguise and became a card player. From then on, he had the power to be as strong as a man.
The player's character's gender never affects combat effectiveness.
"This puppy is very brave and not afraid of us at all." The female professional told the emperor in surprise.
"Oh, it is an apocalyptic thing after all." Lancelot thought for a while before he thought of a name to define the other person.
"Apocalyptic thing?" The female professional didn't quite understand.
"Hey, little pup, you should understand what we are saying. If you do, here is this for you to eat." Lancelot said, picking up a bunch of the freshest grapes from the Rouswand region.
As soon as it is picked, it is sent to the professional warehouse for storage.
Grape?
The little puppy just wanted to eat it, but suddenly found that the dog couldn't stand the sourness.
It shook its head.
Dogs can eat delicious food, but it should not be too sour, sweet or salty. After all, their taste is different from that of humans.
"Okay, is this Felts five-star ham?" Lancelot took out a high-quality ham made from beef hind legs.
This kind of ham takes more than a year to smoke, and the intermediate steps are extremely complicated, using many precious spices and seasonings.
It can be said that it is equal to the same weight of silver, but not gold. Gold is too expensive.
The little puppy drooled.
These are all natural reactions and have nothing to do with me.
Xiao Huan comforted himself.
"Very good, it seems you want this very much. As long as you tell me where the fountain of youth is, I will give it to you." Lancelot did not shy away from female professionals and asked directly.
This is a secret that everyone knows. The emperor is looking for a way to extend his life.
The little puppy silently used its paws to draw the word "spring water" on the stone slab, and then pointed to itself.
"Your name is Quan Shui?" The emperor was shocked.
The little puppy nodded.
This is the name that Weir calls out to him occasionally. He has a strange obsession with clean water.
Probably it comes from the previous emphasis of Big Rat, and the lack of clean water in rat farms.
Spring water is one of the cleanest water sources available.
Even in modern times, mountain springs are regarded as synonymous with cleanliness.
"You will not grow old?" the emperor asked again.
Xiao Xiang imagined that tens of thousands of years had passed and he was still a child.
Well, it's nice to be a kid.
It would be better if you don't have to go to school.
It nodded.
"Damn it, I really guessed it right. Let me find a person named Quan Shui who will never grow old. No, it's a dog." The emperor couldn't laugh or cry.
He originally thought that when he ran to the mountain, he was going to find a fountain of youth, and if he drank the water from it, he would become immortal.
It turned out that the first reaction was correct.
"Can you let me have this ability?" the emperor finally asked.
Even if the answer is no, he will give the ham to the dog.
After all, just judging from the wisdom he is showing now, the origin of the other party is very scary.
It may have the same status as a divine envoy, a watchdog of the Kingdom of God, or something like that.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt a little embarrassed.
She wants to lie to people, but she can't.
She can make the other person immortal, but only if Lao Wen cheats on her.
So the little puppy shook his head first and then nodded.
The emperor's lake was painted, the female professionals were painted, and the surrounding logistics officers, intelligence officers, and guards were all painted.
What does this dog mean?
They were puzzled.
"I don't understand what you are saying. You should just write." The emperor asked for a quill and ink.
The little puppy looked at the pen, looked at his paws, then silently dyed his paws into silence, and then wrote on the slate.
"I can make you ageless, but only if I restore my strength."
