The sun was always bright and beautiful, but the morning in the desert was now shining brightly.
Crook City was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the city walls facing the desert were also high. There was only one way in and out. It was no wonder that the remnants of Batalur's army had chosen this place as their stronghold. This kind of city was indeed easier to defend.
In a spacious house in Crook City.
Bardaru's king, Ronnie, was pacing back and forth in the hall. He was deep in thought with a worried expression on his face. He stopped in his tracks and turned to the young woman standing beside him."Carina, when you guys escaped from the capital, did you and Kalan encounter pursuers when you split up and headed here?”Of his two daughters, only Lalina had returned. He was worried about Kalan now.
Princess Carina was wearing leather armor and had a longsword hanging from her waist. She seemed to be a swordsman as well. She was also worried that her younger sister would encounter something on the way."Father, we were afraid that we would be caught in one fell swoop when we came out, so we split into two groups and led five thousand soldiers to Crook City. On the way here, Mother and I only encountered a small group of pursuers, and there were no casualties. Kalan and Uncle Jacker should have passed through the middle of the desert. Even if they were attacked by a small group of blood wolves, it had been almost two days now. They should have arrived by now. Ah…Could it be…"
"Hmm…if they wanted to send troops, they wouldn't have only sent a few. Other than the people who ambushed you, I think Kalan and the others have met most of the troops.”Speaking of this, Ronnie's expression became even uglier. Could it be that his daughter was already…He really did not dare to imagine it
When Queen Amilu heard that her beloved daughter might have died in the desert, she fainted on the spot.
"Quick, help the queen back to her room to rest." Seeing that his wife had collapsed, Ronnie became even more worried. After instructing the servants to help Amelia back to her room, he turned to Carina and said,""That was just a guess. We can't give up our last hope. Carina, lead 10,000 elite soldiers to search the center of the desert.”
"Alright, Father. I'll go now.”He was also worried about Kalan, so he quickly agreed.
"Wait, let Reynolds go with you. He has already advanced to the Saint rank in the past two days. He is now a Sword Saint. He will protect you well.”Carina, who was about to leave, was stopped. Ronnie turned around and nodded at a bald man with a broad face and muscular body.
Carina nodded, and Reynolds stood behind her and left the hall. Ronnie went back to his room to see his wife.
In the desert, four horses and a carriage were moving forward.
Jacker and the rest of the group were riding their horses and looking around. Apart from Kejie who was driving the carriage, Kalan and Lu Ziyang were also in the carriage. They didn't want anything to happen when they were almost at Crook City, so they were all on guard.
Kalan, who was in the carriage, stared at Lu Ziyang, who was sleeping soundly. Her hand slowly reached out to Lu Ziyang's face, and her fingers gently slid across his face. Feeling something on his face, Lu Ziyang shook his head.
When she saw Lu Ziyang move, she quickly withdrew her hand in surprise. She saw that he was not awake. She covered her face with her hands and muttered to herself," What's wrong with me? I've only known him for a day, why am I…Ah…Why is my face so hot?"”She patted her red face from time to time.
" Ah..." Lu Ziyang, who had woken up, stretched and rubbed his eyes."Kalan, what are you doing? Eh…why is your face so red?”He said it, but he reached out and touched Kalan's forehead.
" Ah…" She was shocked by Lu Ziyang's sudden action, and her heart was beating wildly. She was caught off guard and said,""This…That…That…Maybe the weather is too hot.”……Suddenly, she thought of something and stretched her hands out in front of Lu Ziyang. Her round eyes stared at him expectantly.
" Oh..." Seeing Kalan's hands suddenly reaching out to his eyes, he was so scared that he shrank into a corner of the carriage.……This behavior was too abnormal. She was still shy just now, but now it was as if she had changed into a different person. He crossed his arms and said in a trembling voice," What... what do you want? Do you want... I... I don't care, but..." Kalan interrupted him before he could finish.
"You…What are you thinking about? I didn't mean that.”She smiled and stretched out her hand." Where's the thing you said you wanted to give me? Don't tell me you forgot it after you woke up.”
"Oh…so it's about that. How could I forget? I thought you…Aiya."
"You're still talking." Seeing that he was letting his imagination run wild again, she slapped his thigh hard with her small hand.
"Hehe…I was just joking.”As he spoke, he searched through his spatial bracelet and took out one item after another."Here…a laser-guided sword. The iron swords here can be easily cut off. Also, this light armor. If you wear it, those iron weapons won't be able to hurt you. And this standard laser-guided pistol, didn't you say that you only know some small magic? You can use this for self-defense. Just aim at the enemy and press the button below. For example, the leather armor of the Morat brothers, if you shoot it casually, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die.”As he spoke, he taught Kalan how to use it.
She excitedly took the things that Lu Ziyang brought over and asked in surprise when she heard him say so much,"But what is laser guidance?"
"…This…With your little brain, you won't understand even if I explain it to you.”It wasn't that he didn't want to explain, but even if he did, she wouldn't understand, so there was no need to explain.
He looked at Kalan, who turned around and played with the things that he had given her. He looked out of the car window and pushed Kalan."Look at what…what time it is now.”She wanted to ask what time it was, but she figured that they probably didn't know.
After being pushed a few times, Kalan looked out of the car and said,""It should be noon now. We'll be at Crook in half a day.”
Oh…
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Jacker's voice sounded from outside."Princess, Brother Lu will reach Crook City in about half a day. Why don't you take a rest first? The horses couldn't stand the heat.”
"Mhm…let's rest and eat something first. I'm starving.”Before the princess could say anything, Lu Ziyang spoke first.
As soon as he got off the carriage, the two Morat brothers ran over."Big Brother Lu, drink some and talk." Lu Ziyang was stunned when he saw this. He had just given them something and they were already sucking up to him.
He didn't say anything, but took the water bag and handed it to Kalan."" Kalan, you drink first, Ya..." She wanted to ask Jacker to bring some roast meat, but she saw him frowning and staring at the direction behind the carriage.
"Everyone, be alert. Someone is chasing after us.”Jacker suddenly shouted,
As he shouted, the others looked over and exclaimed,"Ah…the pursuers of Sabak!"
Apart from Lu Ziyang, everyone exclaimed.
