() Demon Bone Desert, this barren land is a huge scar carved on the Qilin Continent at dusk in ancient times. For countless centuries, strong winds have raged here, and the flying gravel has formed layers of yellow sand curtains, turning everything inside into
Isolated from the world.
Now, in the center of the hot sand world, a majestic and solemn portal stands here. It is higher than the mountain peak, and ordinary people standing on the front steps and looking up cannot see the top. There is a mist inside the gate, and lightning shoots out from time to time.
Near dusk, a foreign man with two swords hanging from his waist stood in front of the portal and looked into the distance. He had fluffy ears standing on top of his head, sword-shaped eyebrows and handsome eyes, and a fluffy snow-velvet tail behind him.
"This is the new world that Her Royal Highness the Princess has found for us?" After retracting his gaze, the man asked: "Why is it different from the news?"
Next to him was a woman with cat ears who covered her face. Her eyes were shining like pearls: "Your Majesty, although this place is desolate, it is extremely rich outside."
The Demonic Bone Desert is just a small drop in the ocean to the world, and it naturally makes sense for the portal to be built in such a desolate place.
Hearing the words, the man raised his eyes again. In his eyes, whirlwinds rolled up sand and stones to cover up the sunset, and the whole world was dark. This scene was so similar to their world that he couldn't imagine how fertile it would be outside.
But... no one can question the new world that their princess has sacrificed everything to find.
"Where's the general?"
The man looked around at the bottom of the portal stairs: a stream of green people stood in the desert. They were countless fellow orcs wearing green military uniforms. However, he did not see the shadow of the man known as the God of War.
"General Bai Qi was cleaning up the mess. We were discovered by the indigenous people and they launched an attack." The woman answered.
"Huh?" The man's lips curled up, interested: "Are those people strong?"
"No." He replied with a tone full of disdain: "The general wanted to test their combat power, but he didn't expect that when the opponent was three times our number, we won the victory with only one charge..."
"So weak!" A flash of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he thought for a moment: "How long is it until the birth of the little princess we have never met?"
"Four months."
"Four months...should be enough." The man counted the time with his fingers, and there was a hint of hatred on his face: "Her Royal Highness the Princess died in a foreign land, so we will use the blood of this empire to celebrate the little princess's birthday."
"Search for the whereabouts of the little princess immediately. I think her father, the number one mage in mankind, should have left a hint."
"yes."
——————
That night, Xia Han returned to Jade City.
When he found a restaurant to eat, Xia Han found that the atmosphere in Jade City was a bit strange. The usually quiet night was now full of tension, and patrolling soldiers walked by on the street from time to time.
【Are you looking for me? 】
He doubted this, but felt that something was wrong, because in addition to the soldiers, there were also some civilians who also had sad thoughts on their brows.
"Hey, have you heard the rumors?"
"What rumor?"
At this moment, Xia Han heard whispers in the restaurant. He loosened his hat to make his ears more sensitive.
"It is said that this afternoon, the troops led by His Majesty the King to the Demon Bone Desert were unilaterally massacred by aliens."
"Haha... How is it possible? I heard the news of victory this morning!"
"It's true. I heard that His Majesty was killed in the battle and his head was cut off."
Suddenly, Xia Han spurted out the water with a 'pop' sound. The king was dead - so easily?
Although Xia Han had thought about this possibility before, when he heard the news, he still felt uneasy. He could not imagine that the shadow that had suppressed him for nearly nine years would die so easily in the battle.
[Oh my God, this must not be true...at least let me kick him a few times to vent my anger before he dies!]
At this time, Xia Han felt a pity that he had no place to vent his anger. However...it seemed that he was the one who induced the king to send troops. Thinking of this, Xia Han felt better.
"Don't make fun of me. If you hear such a joke, you will be beheaded!"
"I didn't believe it at first...but the city lord hurriedly led a large team to Gale City in the evening, and there was something wrong!"
"Wind City? So there are armies running one after another from the north outside the city at night. It can't be...this thing is true..."
Xia Han was stunned. When he entered Jade City, he did find many troops heading south. It turned out to be this reason.
The land to the south of the Yulin Mountains is the Gale Wind Plains, and the Demon Bone Desert is to the west of the Gale Wind Plains. Once the war between humans and the orcs breaks out, the Gale Wind Plains will be the first to bear the brunt. The terrain there is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend...
【Not good.】
The location where the Orcs appear is directly in the center of the Emerald Empire. Once the Gale Wind Plains falls, the Emerald Empire will be divided into the north and the south, with no leader. The southern region has always been a remote place. In addition to the trade capital Golden City, there are also stronger
Outside of its own power, no other city will be a combined enemy of the Orcs.
Although the northern region is blocked by the Yulin Mountains, as long as Jade City is captured, the Orcs will be greeted by a plain.
No matter what Xia Han thought, he believed that humans had no chance of winning. In fact, as long as the Wind City was captured and the great disparity in combat power between the northern and southern parts of the Jade Empire prevented them from forming a pincer attack, the empire would inevitably perish.
Fortunately, on the side of the junction of the Gale Grassland and the Yulin Mountains is the Church of Light, a powerful force that can support Gale City.
"It should last for a while."
Xia Han estimated that Gale City would not fall immediately, so he started to think carefully. In fact, he returned to Jade City this time to steal something from Wu Jing. He had originally thought of several strategies to steal something from Wu Jing without showing up.
He stole it out, but as soon as Wujing left Jade City, Xia Han's plan failed - he had no helpers in Gale City.
But no matter what, he was bound to get that thing.
So after eating, Xia Han found a convoy that was heading to Swiftwind City. He paid for a carriage and followed the convoy to Swiftwind City. Fortunately, the news of the king's defeat did not spread, otherwise the convoy would not have continued.
Moved forward.
Xia Han fell asleep in the car and vaguely heard a familiar noise.
"Oops! It's raining, stupid knight, how can we take shelter from the rain!"
"But miss, you said you wanted to ride a horse before, but now all the carriages have been robbed."
"I don't care, please think of a way quickly!"
The owner of the voice regards Xia Han as her mortal enemy, and Xia Han naturally knows who she is - "She deserves it."
He said something, but didn't check the sound for a moment and didn't stop it. This is terrible!
Xia Han screamed in his heart, and then calmed down: What are you afraid of? Even if the other party hears his voice, they won't recognize him. The voices of elves and humans are completely different.
"Idiot knight, someone scolded me just now! That tone must be that of that idiot princess!"
"But Miss, Her Royal Highness's voice is not like this..."
"Don't talk nonsense, she's on this carriage!"
Surprisingly, the other party directly identified Xia Han.
Xia Han's mind was racing, and he couldn't figure out whether the other party was really sure it was him. If she could recognize him by his tone, Xia Han's elf form might be exposed - this was not possible.
The elf form is Xia Han's trump card, and he has to hide it no matter what. On the contrary, if he changes back to a human, even if he is discovered now, there will be more opportunities to turn into an elf and escape in the future.
After thinking about it... Xia Han turned back into a human with a bang.
A little girl opened the car curtain and swaggered into the car. She looked at Xia Han and was stunned for a while: "Idiot princess, don't think that I don't recognize you because you are wearing men's clothes!"
Xia Han was still wearing simple men's clothing and still had his hat on.
"It's great that you are still so lively, Bai Yue..."
Xia Han sighed and took off his hat, then pointed to the seat on the other side of the carriage: "You can sit there, although I think you will definitely quarrel with me ungratefully."
"Ah! Thank you."
Bai Yue sat down happily, then her face froze: "What did you say! Who would be ungrateful and quarrel with you!"
"It's you!"
"I won't!"
"Then what are you doing now?"
"Ah, um!" Bai Yue covered her mouth, her face turned red, but her eyes looked at Xia Han and said - Is this okay?
"Yeah, I'm impressed by you." Xia Han clapped his hands and put his hat on his face: "Then I'm going to sleep. If you wake me up, you will definitely want to be ungrateful and quarrel with me."
Bai Yue immediately covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound again.
Xia Han quickly fell asleep. Bai Yue covered her mouth and thought about it, and suddenly felt something was wrong - wasn't she just stepping onto the carriage to teach this idiot princess who scolded her? Why did she cover her mouth when she got up?
The other party is sleeping...
【I was deceived again.】
Bai Yue's big eyes were filled with confusion, why did she have to be bullied by this princess every time.
"Give."
A handkerchief was suddenly thrown on Bai Yue's head. She saw Xia Han on the opposite side move his hat: "Don't cry all the time. People who cry more will be bullied."
This sentence is the same as what Wujing told Bai Yue before.
Bai Yue took off the handkerchief and wiped her eyes with it: "Thank you... ugh... so sticky..."
"Of course it's sticky, I use it to wipe my nose!"
There was a smile in Xia Han's words.
"Snapped!"
Bai Yue threw the handkerchief on Xia Han's hat, and her little head smoked angrily: "I'm going to kill you!"
She rushed over and stuck her hands towards Xia Han's neck, but... Xia Han stretched out his feet to block her flat chest, so that Bai Yue's little hands could not hook him.
"Don't be angry, I was joking."
He explained: "The handkerchief is in my pocket. It may be sticky because of the sweat from walking for a long time."
This may also be a joke.
