"Are you trying to pull me in?”Liudmila was a little surprised." Let's not talk about setting things right. Are you sure that Arthas's pitiful army can defeat the army Tyner sent this time?
I'm not afraid to tell you that Tynal asked me to delay Eleonora's army for two months. During this period, he will send an army of 8,000 men to attack Arthas.
I don't know how many soldiers Arthas has now, but considering all the people in Arthas, you can only temporarily raise a troop of one to two thousand people. Under such circumstances, you want to defeat Tynal's eight thousand elites?
Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Only 8,000? Even with 8,000 soldiers and 3,000 to 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, there are only slightly more than 10,000 of them. To be honest, 1,000 of my Arthas 'armorers are more than enough to make this army unable to return.”Nangong Xiao said confidently.
Hearing Nangong Xiao's words, the first word that flashed across Liudmila's mind was 'arrogant'. Just as she was about to say something, Irene, who was standing beside her, laughed and said,"
"Nangong, this should be the case. Back then, you borrowed 500 cavalrymen from me and easily wiped out 3,000 enemy troops. Now that you have enough time to train your troops, I believe that 1,000 people will definitely be able to block Tynal's 8,000 soldiers.
Alright, I'll listen to you. After returning to Arthas, I'll temporarily withdraw my troops back to Wright Meliz. However, I'll stay in Arthas. I want to see with my own eyes how you defeat 8,000 elite enemy soldiers with 1,000 new soldiers.
Of course, if you fail, I will personally watch you die!”
"Eleonora! Are you sending Xiao to his death?”On the other hand, Liudmila felt indignant for Nangong Xiao. Nangong Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What was this? Could it be that I really have the legendary empress halo? And it was the kind that showed who was pregnant?
"Humph! 'If Nangong is just boasting shamelessly, then he doesn't have the right to be my…ahem, someone I fancy.' Since he had brought it up himself, he should be responsible for his words and deeds. In his words, a promise was equivalent to life!
If he was just saying it, then dying on the battlefield should be his destination and punishment!”
Hearing Irene's words, Liudmila narrowed her eyes and stared at Nangong Xiao for a while. Then, she said seriously," Alright, I'll stop Auerlitz's troops at the border of the Wright Meritz Duchy and take an offensive stance.
As long as the entire army of Wright Melitz stays in the country, my mission will be complete. Of course, I reserved the right to retaliate. Who knew if this rude woman would rush out of the country?
Moreover, I want to go to Arthas as well. I also want to see with my own eyes how you defeat Tynal's army!”
"Hey! Xiao Budian! Who asked you to come over?"
"Humph! It has nothing to do with you. I just suddenly wanted to go to Xiao's house to take a look.”
"What? We don't welcome you! Stay obediently in the Orritz Palace!”
"Xiao, don't you welcome me?”Liudmila ignored Irene and turned her gaze to Nangong Xiao.
"Of course you're welcome. After all, we might become allies in the future, so it's necessary to familiarize ourselves with each other in advance.”
As soon as Nangong Xiao nodded, Irene couldn't stand it. Just as she was about to say something angrily, Nangong Xiao spoke first.
"Irene, I don't know what kind of hatred exists between you and Mila, but it doesn't seem like an irreconcilable hatred. Since that's the case, I hope you can understand during this critical period.
"Also, Mila, please understand."
Please."
Nangong Xiao then bowed to Irene and Liudmila. As such, Irene and Liudmila didn't know what to say. Their eyes met for a moment before they looked away.
Nangong Xiao was not naive enough to make the two Battle Ladies reconcile, but as long as they stopped quarreling, it was fine. After all, they were too noisy.
Quietly warming themselves up by the fire, everyone had nothing to talk about. Irene and Liudemira couldn't move, but Nangong Xiao was used to it and liked silence.
He fiddled with a short dagger that he found on the assassin. After a while, Nangong Xiao picked up a piece of wood and began to carve on it.
This was not a habit of his. It was just that he had studied sculpting in the art department in university, so he knew a little about sculpting. Now that he was bored, he decided to spend his time like this.
As for sleep, he could forget about it tonight. Lim was kneeling…Well, she was still unconscious. Irene and Ludmila might not return to normal after daybreak. At this time, he was the only one who could move freely. He was naturally in charge of keeping watch.
After an unknown period of time, Irene seemed to feel sleepy, so she asked Nangong Xiao to put her on the blanket and lie down. After a while, she fell asleep peacefully.
After all, before becoming Battle Lady, Irene and Lim were both mercenaries and lived a life of licking blood on the blade all day long, so this kind of camping was not a big deal.
On the other hand, Liudmila was the exact opposite. This little girl was the typical daughter of a noble family. Even though Nangong Xiao was guarding her and trusted her very much, she still could not sleep peacefully.
Nangong Xiao did not say much about this. He just sat quietly in front of the fire and fiddled with the dagger and wooden sticks.
After a while, Nangong Xiao noticed that there was something strange about Liudmila. Her entire body seemed to be trembling slightly, and her face and skin were slightly red.
Her thin eyebrows drooped and she bit her lower lip, as if she was enduring something.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Xiao asked with concern.
Unfortunately, Liudmila didn't respond. She just lowered her eyes and looked at her carefully. Her eyelashes were trembling.
"Is there something wrong with your body? It doesn't make sense…Little Seven…I've checked. That paralyzing poison won't cause any harm other than making people unable to move…"
As Nangong Xiao spoke, he came to Liudmila's side and squatted down. His right hand was about to reach for Liudmila's forehead.
" Don't..." Liudmila cried. In the end, she was about to cry.
" Hey, don't scare me..." Nangong Xiao was also shocked, but then he asked Little Seven in his heart," Little Seven, did something happen to her?" Hidden illness? Or did that paralytic drug have some hidden side effects?”
" It's not as exaggerated as you think. I just drank too much water and wanted to go to the toilet. Alright, don't disturb my sleep. You have to know that lack of sleep is the natural enemy of beautiful women." Little Seven yawned and continued to sleep in Nangong Xiao's body.
Nangong Xiao widened his eyes and stared at Liudmila, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
" Don't…Don't look…" Liudmila also noticed Nangong Xiao's reaction. She seemed to know that Nangong Xiao had figured out what was going on with her. At this moment, she was so ashamed that she wanted to pull out her sword and commit suicide.
Nangong Xiao rubbed his right cheek with his right index finger and said somewhat awkwardly," How long can you last? Perhaps in another hour or two, the paralysis effect will slowly subside…"
" Not even a minute…" Liudmila was about to cry. Nangong Xiao didn't know what to do. He couldn't just exchange for a panacea just to make it easier for her to go to the toilet, right?
Nangong Xiao wasn't that generous, and it was simply a waste.
Even if he went to exchange for the cheaper antidote, he would still need a lot of silver coins. Moreover, the effect of the antidote would take a long time. Now that he saw that the little girl seemed to want something in the next moment, he could not wait any longer.
"Then…then I'll be rude!" Nangong Xiao was also a decisive person. While Liudmila was stunned, he carried her in his arms and quickly walked into the forest in the distance.
When Nangong Xiao carried her back to the bonfire, Liudmila felt like dying.
"Nangong Xiao! I'll kill you, I'll definitely kill you! Definitely!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Do you want to sleep?" Nangong Xiao asked indifferently, although his cheeks were also a little hot now, and just now it was really too…If it wasn't for his very good self-control, he might have made a mistake just now.
"I'm going to kill you!"
"Can't you change your words?" Nangong Xiao said, amused.
"Sob…I definitely won't let you off! Definitely!"
"Alright, have you ever thought that if I didn't act like that just now, you would have…"
"Don't say anymore! Don't say anymore! " Ahh!" Liudmila was on the verge of collapse. She was like a cooked prawn. If she wasn't unable to move at all, she would have run away or picked up her weapon to fight Nangong Xiao.
However, before she could really shout it out, Nangong Xiao covered her mouth.
"You want to wake Irene up and discuss what happened just now?”
"Wuuuu!" Ludmila's eyes quickly moved left and right, indicating that she didn't want to.
Only then did Nangong Xiao let go of her mouth and said," Do you want to sleep now or…"
At this moment, Nangong Xiao was still hugging her waist with one hand, causing her to react and shout hurriedly. "Go to sleep. Now, let me down!”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Nangong Xiao placed her on the blanket indifferently and covered her with his own blanket. Just as Nangong Xiao was about to get up and return to the fire, Liudmila spoke.
"You…you must remember, if, if I hear any rumors about tonight, I will not let you off! Remember this!"
"Yes, I understand. Everyone, forget about this matter. Go to sleep."
" Oh…" She glanced at Nangong Xiao from the corner of her eye, and her face turned even redder.
However, Nangong Xiao and Liudmila did not notice that Irene's eyelashes moved slightly. At the same time, the corners of her stiff mouth could not help but curl up…
