Now that Qiaolu had spoken, Sandos was not hesitant and directly let people untie Qiaolu.
This is a very risky move. Sandos is young and strong, and Qiaolu's martial arts may be slightly inferior.
But compared to actual combat experience, the two sides are not at the same level at all. Qiaolu has fought countless battles in his life. If he kills him, these dozen people may not be able to stop him.
But Qiaolu didn't try to escape, for two reasons.
First, he doesn’t want the White Tower Kingdom and the Lion Country to be at odds with each other. The Lion Country is slowly rising with the support of the Shattered Snow Country. It is no longer the weak country that can be exploited by others. The friendship that crowned Chris in the past is still there. This is Qiao
Lu has worked hard to gain allies, but he doesn't want the Lion Country to become an enemy.
The second reason is simpler. He has nowhere to go. Originally, he could only seek death, but now he seems to have an extra way out.
Qiao Lu rubbed his sore lower back, focusing on the back of his head that had been hit. After he had regained a few percent of his strength, he asked a question.
It was not the reason why he was attacked, nor was it the purpose of Sandos kidnapping him, but a problem that no one could have imagined.
"You just said that there are orcs and wolves following you, have their tails been cleaned?"
The protected citizen Pegdon quickly came up. He had been looking forward to a chance to explain.
"Lord Marquis, please listen to me. I have never planned to betray you. My family and I are extremely loyal to you..."
"Stop talking about these things," Qiaolu said with a cold expression, "I ask you, have you solved all of your tails?"
Pegdon nodded and said: "I killed the wolf cavalry without using a gun, but with a crossbow. No one would notice."
Qiaolu shook his head helplessly and said: "You have been following me for so long, why haven't you made any progress? Will the orcs follow me alone?"
Peggot was startled and suddenly realized: "Oh no, he still has companions!"
The orcs have always fought with a small number of troops, but when it comes to sentry cavalry, they do not skimp on their strength. When tracking the enemy, there will be at least two orcs. If one orc dies in battle, the other orc will give up tracking and go back.
Report.
"The enemy will be chasing you soon. You'd better have a clear escape route."
Sandos did not cover up. Chris once told him that any military cover-up would be superfluous in front of Qiaolu.
Qiaolu looked at Sandos' map, shook his head and said: "If we can't escape like this, we will die at the hands of the orc cavalry before we reach the seaside. Only by continuing north can we find a safe port."
Sandos said: "If we continue to go north, even if we can get rid of the orcs, we will probably fall into the hands of Matthias."
"No," Qiao Lu said, 'I don't want to die that much now, I will take you out alive.'
…
Reggie stayed in the Red Wolf King's castle for more than ten days. During this time, he became obsessed with something called the wolf bow.
The wolf bow is not a crossbow, but a musical instrument, much like the erhu of later generations, and a bit like the matouqin.
Stringed instruments are difficult to learn, so Red Wolf King sent two artists. Reggie showed a humble attitude and worked hard, mastering the basics of this instrument in more than ten days.
The werewolves do not know any music theory knowledge, and all the tunes and techniques are taught by mouth. However, the lack of knowledge does not affect the quality of art. This group of artists has been influenced by the cultures of multiple regions such as grasslands, deserts and forests. Their
Art has distinctive characteristics.
Not only can they use wolf bows, but they can also use bagpipes and a percussion instrument made of tiger skin. Their singing and dancing are also very unique. Reggie really wants to bring these artists to the theater in Shattered Snow City.
Knowing that Reggie liked entertainers, the Red Wolf King summoned all the entertainers from various tribes to try to distract Reggie.
He found the cannon that attacked the village, but the result surprised him so much that he temporarily concealed the news, but Reggie soon heard the news. When Reggie asked again, he realized that he had to tell the truth.
"I found the artillery in the territory of the Gray Wolf King, hiding it in a tribe on the edge of the Sand Demon."
"Very good," Reggie said with a sinister smile, "It's time to avenge our people."
The Red Wolf King left his seat, knelt on his knees and said, "Great Emperor Sirius, I firmly believe that this was not done by the Gray Wolf King."
"The evidence is solid, what else is there to say?"
The Red Wolf King didn't know how to explain it. Reggie frowned and said, "Do you want to protect the Gray Wolf King, or do you want to kill the Scarface Wolf King?"
Reggie was right. The Red Wolf King did not believe that the Gray Wolf King was the real murderer. He believed that all this was a conspiracy of the Scarface Wolf King, but he could not provide any evidence.
"There must be something hidden behind this matter. I don't want to avenge my clan members anymore, so let this matter end here."
"Is this the end?" Reggie said angrily, "Someone colluded with evil spirits in the land of werewolves and brutally killed the descendants of werewolves. Do you want me to turn a blind eye? Is this what Emperor Sirius should do?"
The Red Wolf King is too naive, this matter is no longer as simple as revenge for a village.
Reggie is the leader of the Benlang Kingdom. This murder not only threatens his majesty, but the existence of the inner ghost also threatens the safety of the entire Broken Snow Kingdom.
Reggie gave the order: "I'll give you ten days. Since you believe it wasn't the Gray Wolf King who did it, you must find the real murderer, not only to give an explanation to the Red Wolf descendants, but also to all the Werewolf Runners."
Explain!"
The Red Wolf King left the castle with mixed regrets. If he had known this would be the result, he would never have brought the matter to this point.
Arriving at the dungeon, the Red Wolf King sat in front of the cage door, looking at the haggard Gray Wolf King.
"Tell me, did you do this?"
"How many times do you have to ask?" The Gray Wolf King has lost the strength to defend himself. "How much help have I given you over the years? When have I deceived you? How could I harm your people?"
"But why did I find an artillery piece on your territory? Even the tribe leader admitted that it was your soldiers who delivered the artillery piece to his home."
"Call the patriarch and I will confront him!" the Gray Wolf King roared, "I swear in the name of the God of Sirius, if I tell even half a lie, you can put me in a wolf cage.
, let the mosquitoes suck my blood!”
"What's the use of saying all this?" The Red Wolf King shook his head helplessly, "Emperor Sirius doesn't believe the oath at all! His men have already seen the artillery, and they said it was the first generation, the artillery that attacked the village!"
"You would rather trust an outsider than trust me?"
"Stop saying such stupid things. Who dares to question Emperor Sirius? Who dares to say that the Emperor is an outsider?" The Red Wolf King stood up and said, "I want to live. This matter happened because of me. I want to help you, but now I
I can’t think of a way! If you can’t think of it either, then I can only..."
"Go check the Scarface Wolf King, and you will definitely find out the flaws!" The Gray Wolf King grabbed the bars of the cage and shouted, "Save me, you will definitely be able to save me, I really didn't do this!"
"Why should I save you? You deserve to die, you bastard!" the Red Wolf King spat.
The Gray Wolf King shouted: "I know that I have done many things that I have done to you, but as long as you save me, I am willing to give you all the territory in the forest!"
