As the dead soul grass leaves turned into a mass of rotten unknown matter, kuira''s face, although with a bit of disgust, still held it in the palm of his hand. The black-and-white gloves matching the coat were put aside by the witch as a condition of casting, and she had to touch the dirty things in person. The witch gently opened her lips, slowly but for a long time took a breath, and then forced to blow out the palm. Black particles fall from her palm and become flying black crested butterflies in the air. These strange butterflies fly around kuila three times, then disperse in all directions and fall into the ground.
Poof, like a sharp blade piercing a lump of earth, came from the land where the black crested butterfly had fallen into, but kuila turned a deaf ear to it. She took her gloves from the cushion of the carriage and put them back on her hand. The eyes saw the muscles of the two little maroon bodies trembling with fear. The witch gently stroked the mane of one of the ponies with her black gloved hand.
"Don''t be afraid, dear. The road ahead is no longer suitable for you, so I just called some children to replace your work. You did a good job... " The muscles stroked by the palm of the hand tensed violently, but then relaxed rapidly, permanently. Kuirah''s mouth was smiling. "It''s better now."
The carriage, abandoned in place. The carriage was just a toy bought on the spur of the moment for the managers of the witches'' group, who ruled the no trade port lost heart Bay. As anyone familiar with this lady knows, there will always be only two mounts for the witch, namely, the black giant scorpion eating the dead horse, and the white giant spider lying on the other horse sucking blood and viscera. And apart from these two insects, bigger than a foal, there are a number of terrifying multi legged creatures crawling out of the ground.
Kuirah looked back at the number of her pets and beamed with satisfaction. Then she stepped over to the black scorpion, who was eating. After the numerous compound eyes noticed the owner''s approach, the monster obediently straightened out three long legs close to kuira and tilted her body. The witch held the hem of her overcoat in her hands, and stepped on the scorpion''s limbs like a king stepping on a throne, making a crisp sound. Two giant dragonflies flapped their wings, pulled the wooden seat off the carriage and put it on the back shell of the black scorpion before kuira sat down.
"Well, David, don''t hold on to it. There are more delicious food in the stone box in front of you The scorpion, known as David, was silent for a moment after hearing the master''s words, and then obediently put down the small half of the horse carcass on the pliers. The other horse even pecked at the other horse. The white giant spider is not as obedient as its companions. It falls back on the ground, presses the first half of its body on the body, and at the same time begins to spit out a large amount of silk thread, and soon wraps the objects under it into a white ball of thread. The giant spider skillfully puts the thread ball on its back, which is not in a hurry to lean to the companion side.
"Jones, when will you change this habit?" It''s not hard to hear kuirah''s helplessness to the white spider''s behavior, but her tone also shows her strong doting. Obviously, these two frightening monsters have a different look in her eyes.
After finishing the assembly, the terrifying Legion began to move northward along the Longxue river. In front of them, the walls of Xigu city were already visible.
Such an eye-catching move will naturally attract the attention of all parties. In the distance of kuira''s insect troops, where there are dense vegetation, some trees are rustling due to collision. The rat scouts, who were aware of the unusual situation, galloped towards xigucheng as fast as they could not be found. Then they removed a stone about three kilometers away from the city wall, and disappeared after drilling into the hole.
These hidden roads set up around Xigu city are very narrow, let alone human beings. Even the slightly stronger human beings may not be able to get through. Only the relatively small, well footed rat scouts will be told where they are, and in this way, they will report all the wind and grass in the vicinity to their underground compatriots. After all, there are very few mutants who can meet these conditions and have the ability of thinking. In most cases, the original rat humans controlled by the mutants perform the sentinel command. It''s like the one that found kuira''s whereabouts.
Occasionally there are branches in the narrow passage leading to other exits. Due to the limited excavation time and for the convenience of control and safety, all such scouting channels will eventually merge into a main road leading to the front post. In the outpost, there are mutants stationed in shifts to process the information collected by the scouts, and then report them to other rodents according to their importance. There are one such former post in the southeast and northwest of the city.
The size of the main road is much larger than that of the previous passage, and the wall is not a random excavation trace, but a square channel after careful repair. Its size can accommodate three scouts to pass side by side, which is also considering that the amount of intelligence in wartime may be much more than that in peacetime. At the end of the main road, the outer wall of the outpost, is a sliding stone gate. The mutants are short of manpower, and the control protozoans are unable to do the precise work. Most of the time, their buildings have to make do with it.
"Creak..." The stone gate opened in front of the scouts, revealing the room covered with rough gravel.Soon, the news that it brought back was spread in the underground world of Xigu city. The mutants put down their work and got together to talk about the authenticity of the news and the significance it represented. As the leader of the mutants, count Saron led the last survivor of the ruling family. Gloria was one of the first to get news.
"What do you think?" She brought together the most capable of leadership among the mutants, most of whom had been Saron''s leaders, to form a small five Member Council. On the day cheese left the valley, it was this Council that controlled the movement of the mutants.
Hal, once a member of the Saron family, was the leader of the mutant rat before forming a council with Gloria. He knocked uneasily on the table with his hand, "my highness, if the information brought back by the Scouts is true. I mean, those bugs are the size of horses, so they''re going to cause us a lot of trouble. My advice is to immediately destroy all the channels available to them, and send protozoans to inspect them, and to report any intruders as soon as possible. "
Hal''s words made Gloria nod, and the minister was always able to give the right advice during this time. But this time, unlike digging caves and distributing natives, not everyone likes to pull their heads back into their shells like turtles.
"I don''t agree." He was a mercenary in Saron before he was infected by the plague. Because his military qualities were absorbed into the parliament, he was the one who proposed to set up the scouting network. "We can''t guarantee what those guys will come from. If they just pass by, Mr. Hal''s method may work. But if they come at us, there''s no need to destroy the passage. When it comes to digging, the insects are not necessarily slower than us. If I say, we should take the initiative to defeat them when they are unprepared! "
"Are you crazy? That''s a scorpion the size of a horse! How do we get rid of it? With bigger slippers? " Hal obviously didn''t like the mercenary argument. As a civilian official, he didn''t like to solve problems by such uncertain means.
"Don''t forget what we are like now. Look at your claws. We have enough troops to fight any enemy! Whether it''s a scorpion, a spider, or whatever Said the mercenary, flashing his paws to remind Hal that they were no longer vulnerable humans.
"But we don''t know anything about them. No one has ever dealt with such a big bug, at least not among the people here. We can''t estimate the cost of starting a war. "
"Yes, we haven''t met, but I''m sure those guys haven''t seen a disciplined rat man either! We can beat them. If I take the guards with me, I can finish the fight before sunset
"But what if you fail? What if the enemy attacked this place when you led the troops out? We only saw a bunch of big bugs. Who knows what''s next? "
…… The quarrel continued. Gloria looked left and right, but she could not help but shut her mouth. Although these four people respect her very much, that respect is only out of morality. In this Parliament, she is the only one who has no way to offer any substantive suggestions. A feeling of powerlessness rose in the strong girl''s heart.
