Allie turned around and saw Qing Yang at the door. Was it because of the baptism? He looked tired.
"Qing Yang! This way!"
Ai Li waved her hand and Qing Yang turned to look at her.
"Really! So slow!"
Seeing Qing Yang walking slowly and listlessly, Allie couldn't help but run over to hold his hand and let him sit next to her.
"Qing Yang…you seem very tired. Is the baptism that hard?”
"Yes, I'm mentally exhausted.”
"Will I?"
"Uh…I've probably been desecrated! She didn't know where to look…and she was being touched.”
"Probably because there are more people today. Moreover, Qing Yang was very cute, so it was inevitable that the uncles would have evil thoughts.”
"What the f * ck? Uncle? Where did this uncle come from! It was clearly…Wait! Could it be…"
"Uncle, right?"
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
The two of them turned their heads at the same time. At this moment, a shadow fell between the two of them.
"Lady Ariel, Florence, is breakfast to your liking?”
He turned around and saw the Elven Priest standing behind him.
"Holy sh * t!"
"Ah, it's very delicious. As expected of the restaurant of the Elven Temple.”
"That's great. Are you going to stay over tonight too?”
"Hmm, although it's a very attractive invitation, it's about time for us to set off.”
"What a pity. Although you should be very busy, you are welcome to come again.”
"I'll come back to disturb you after a while. After all, I still have to come back to retrieve my injured subordinates.”
They could not bring the injured soldiers along because they did not know what would happen in front of them. If there was a battle, it would be too difficult to protect the wounded and fight at the same time.
As if seeing through Ellie's thoughts, the elven priest nodded slightly.
"That's true. When the time comes, Lord Qing Yang must come along. I look forward to chatting with you again.”
"I, I…You, you, you…I already have Ellie…You…Okay! I will come again! I'm still too 'righteous' after all!”
"Qing Yang? Did you catch a cold after the baptism?”
"No, I, I'm fine!"
"Hehe, then, excuse me.”The Elven Priest smiled.
"Ah, thank you for your help. I will remember this kindness in my heart.”
"It is only the duty of the Elven King's attendant to help those who are in trouble. If you don't mind, you're welcome to ask me for help at any time.”
"Thank you so much!"
"In addition, there are horses prepared outside. Please use them as you wish.”
After bowing and bidding farewell, the Elven Priestess turned around and left. After Ai Li saw her off, she sat back on the chair and stared at Qing Yang.
"Hey, your face is really red.”
Qing Yang was obviously at a loss after hearing Ellie's words.
"You're overthinking! I definitely don't like anyone else…Ugh! Let's not talk about this first. We have to hurry up!”
"Huh? Why are you so flustered?"
Ai Li looked at Qing Yang, who was holding her arm, with doubt in her eyes.
"Stop talking, let's go! We're in a hurry now!"
"Anxious?"
The elven priest who was hiding in the dark had been watching the interaction between the two of them. Only after Qing Yang and the others had left did the Elven Priestess move. She was heading towards the northern region of the Elven Temple.
Only elven priests could enter the Domain Baptism Palace. Within the Baptism Palace, there was a ball that was so dazzling that it almost blinded the eyes. The elven priest stared at it. The beautiful girl who was always praised for her smiling face was not smiling at all.
"What are you thinking…Why did you summon that hero back? Elf King, please answer me."
The surroundings fell into a strange silence, as if they were at the border of the world.
" You really aren't going to answer…"
The elven priest sighed and looked at the two bronze statues on both sides of the sphere.
They were two of the twelve gods of Atlantis that every resident of this world would definitely recognize.
One was a handsome young man who had stabbed his sword into the ground.
It was the Lion King who had founded the empire," Cottrell, Loch, Lance, Gill, Atlantis."
The other bronze statue held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands and raised it high to the sky.
It was the military god who laid the foundation for the empire,"Atlantis of Leocheinagil".
"Your Majesty Lance, please protect Your Majesty Qingyang!”
Qing Yang and the rest of the group had left the city and arrived near the border of Egypt's Ao territory. Although there were less than seventy of them, the sound of hooves marching at the same time still made people feel uneasy. The one walking at the front was of course Allie. She skillfully controlled the horse, and her beautiful white hair fluttered in the wind behind her. Qing Yang's hands were tightly wrapped around her waist.
"So…so thin…cough! We're already at the border, right?"
"Yes, that's right. Next, they would enter Lord Koda's territory.”
Kulun, who had been following them, listened to their conversation with a solemn expression.
"The sentries haven't returned yet. I wonder how the situation is over there. After advancing another three kilometers, he would abandon his horse and walk.”
"Brother Wang's power has really reached this place?”
"I can't say for sure that there isn't. It's always good to be cautious."
"I know…"
Allie nodded and looked into the distance.
The path connecting Egypt's Ao territory and Lord Koda's territory was a wasteland.
One-third of Lord Koda's territory was dry and barren land. Perhaps it was because of this, the border of Egypt's territory was also a dry area covered in sand and dust.
There were small hills formed by sand, sandstones that had collapsed from the cliffs, and small hills formed by sand. The land was barren, like a desert. The group left their horses at the entrance of the wilderness.
"Next, we must act cautiously."
Allie signaled to the soldiers with her eyes and began to walk in the wilderness.
Based on the current situation, they should be able to enter Lord Koda's territory in less than a moment.
In order to avoid being seen and heard, Allie and her team hid in the dark of the cliff and walked forward cautiously.
"Your Highness. The sentries had yet to return, so it was best to be mentally prepared that something had happened.”
"Hmm…if we continue, I'm afraid it'll be dangerous.”
Allie agreed with Cullen's words. She reached out and climbed up the rock wall, moving to a position where she could check the situation of the country.
Noticing the uneasiness on Qing Yang's face, Allie smiled to comfort him,"
"Nothing will happen, because this is Uncle's territory.”
She seemed to be saying this to herself.
After climbing up the cliff where they could see the situation at the border, Cullen crawled forward to the edge of the cliff. After a while, he signaled Allie.
Cullen didn't come back, but asked Allie to go over, which meant that there was something strange in front.
Allie leaned over and looked down from the edge of the cliff.”
Allie, who almost cried out reflexively, covered her mouth in panic.
The scene in front of him only brought despair. Allie rubbed her eyes repeatedly as if she couldn't believe her eyes. However, the cruel scene remained unchanged. Tears welled up in Allie's eyes.
"How could this be…"
At the entrance of Lord Koda's territory lay the corpses of ten sentries.
They seemed to have been tortured, and every corpse was incomplete. Behind the corpses were 3,000 brown-skinned soldiers. His head was wrapped in a brown cloth, and he was wearing leather armor that exposed his shoulders and arms. A longsword was tied to his waist, while a spear and an oval shield stood on the ground. At the front of the army was a coat of arms with a tiger pattern on a brown background, fluttering in the strong wind that swept across the wilderness.
"It seems to be the Great Liao Duchy."
Kulun said bitterly.
The national character of the Great Liao Dukedom could only be described as cruel and violent. There were only two ways to deal with the captured enemy citizens, either as slaves or to kill them. The Great Liao Duchy was one of the countries that still retained slavery.
"You don't have to tell me that. However, why were the Liao soldiers here?”
Due to the influence of the Atlantean Empire for many years, in the past few decades, there had not been even a small dispute between the two countries. The reason was slavery. Since the Atlantis Empire abolished slavery, the generals and other people who were captured in the past would replace the people of the country and sell them to the Liao Kingdom if they could not pay the ransom.
Therefore, the Atlantis Empire, which had a large battlefront, could be said to be an important customer of the Liao Duchy. In addition, the empire's national strength was quite strong. The Liao Duchy would not be stupid enough to send troops to attack. That was what everyone thought.
"They will deploy their forces here. Their target is most likely Her Highness the Princess.”
Cullen stared at the enemy with a sharp gaze.
"What's puzzling is, how did they know that Her Highness would pass through here? In short, he would return to Egypt's Ao territory first.”
"No, I can't implicate the Elven Priest.”
"I don't think they will invade Egypt's Ao territory. If they really sent troops, they would definitely incur the wrath of the various countries.”
"Their actions are nothing more than a blatant invasion of territory, and the target is the Atlantis Empire. Such arrogant fellows wouldn't hesitate even if they wanted to flatten the Elven Shrine.”
"Well…"
Allie glanced at Cullen from the corner of her eye and continued,""We should break out of the encirclement by force and regroup with uncle.”
"Their appearance here means that the Jacker Fortress has been breached.”
To get here, they had to pass through Jacker Fortress and Yalut City in order. Based on the fact that the enemy was already approaching, it was likely that the two checkpoints had already fallen.
"Besides, they can't stay in the Empire's territory forever. After some time, the Fourth Royal Army would definitely come to their aid.”
"If I don't show up, they might attack the nearby villages or attack Egypt's territory.”
Thinking of the future where villages and towns were engulfed in flames and the people were devastated, Allie could not help but clench her fists and punch the ground, glaring at the enemy below.
"I will never tolerate innocent people being hurt because of me!”
"We have no chance of winning! If anything happens to Her Highness…"
"Fighting for the people is the mission of the royal family! It's the same in any situation!"
"You won't back down?"
"Of course! I am only the princess of the Atlantis Empire!”
"There's no other way. I'll accompany you to the end!”
"Please!"
After coming to a conclusion, the two of them met up with their subordinates who were using the rocks as cover.
Allie stood up, even forgetting to brush off the sand on her body, and walked straight to Qing Yang.
"Next will be an intense battle. Qing Yang returned to Egypt.”
"F * ck! You're forcing me to live off a woman!？Although I am very fair, I will never be a gigolo!!! Definitely!"
"Qing Yang alone won't be able to deal with the upcoming battles…for your own good, it's best that you don't follow us anymore.”
"Let me fight with you! Although…although I can't do anything…"
Qing Yang's tone softened as he spoke. After all, he had never participated in a battle before. If one looked down, they would find that his feet were trembling in fear.
"No! Qing Yang, quickly escape along the original path.”
Ai Li had chased him away without any regard for his feelings, which made Qing Yang timid for a moment, but he still tried his best to persuade Ai Li.
"Didn't I help when we fought the Naga? This time, it must be…should be…probably…anyways! If you don't leave, I won't leave!"
Feeling Qing Yang's consideration, Allie's face flashed with a trace of joy, but then it changed into a troubled expression, and finally turned into determination.
"I'll be honest. If Qing Yang is here, he will only distract me. So please don't follow me anymore."
"F * ck!"
Qing Yang staggered as if he had been hit by a heavy object.
