Chapter 475: Proverbs and the Princess

Chapter 475: Proverbs and the Princess

In the dense forest halfway up the mountain, at the end of a not rugged but little-known animal path, there is a cave hidden under a huge rock.

The cave is narrow in the front and wide in the back, and there is a cave in it, which can be described as an excellent hiding place.

At present, all the residents of the town that the thin boy mentioned are hiding here.

At this time, in the dark and damp cave, there are only some fragments of light spar emitting a faint light.

In the flickering of little golden light, there are weather-beaten sallow faces, and pairs of tired and frightened deep-set eyes.

Everyone here understands clearly.

A few years ago, if the hunters in the town hadn't stumbled upon this abandoned lair, they would probably have lost their souls by now.

At this moment, thinking of that cruel night intertwined with darkness and flames, and the ferocious faces of the blue-patterned armored soldiers wielding their sharp knives, some people still tremble unconsciously, showing a look of lingering horror.

At this moment, the sound of rustling footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the cave ahead.

Hearing this strange voice, a white-haired old man and a middle-aged woman at the door immediately pricked up their ears.

The middle-aged tall woman in a floral coarse sarong was overjoyed, and blurted out: "It's the two little calves, Jerry and Lily, who are back!"

An hour ago, the young brother and sister saw that the cave had run out of ammunition and food, so they sneaked out while the adults were not paying attention, shouting to find food and water for everyone.

It can be said that it really made this mother who had already broken her heart worry a lot.

But now, hearing the sudden sound of footsteps naturally made the mother ecstatic.

"Wait, there's something weird!"

On the other side, the white-haired old man looked terrified, with a bit of horror, and said softly: "The footsteps are disorderly, there are more than two people!"

"What?!"

This sound was like a thunderbolt, making the expressions of other people around them suddenly tense.

For a moment, an expression of uncontrollable panic appeared on the faces of everyone in the cave, and they began to unconsciously attempt to move further into the cave.

But apart from the strong and rough cave walls, there was obviously no hiding place for them.

"Don't panic!"

I saw the white-haired old man, who was still in good health, grabbed a wooden fork beside him, and nodded to a dozen other old men and women who seemed to be still young not far away.

On the other side, these people also raised their hoes or sickles one after another, and with trembling steps, they stood at the entrance of the passage together with the old man.

At this moment, even though their hands were holding agricultural tools that could barely be regarded as weapons, their panicked eyes were already full of despair.

At the same time, the rustling sound was still approaching where everyone was, and it began to become clearer.

At this moment, the slightly chaotic footsteps, every time they advanced, the fear on the faces of everyone in the cave increased.

This unknown voice, like the death knell ringing in the temple, hits the emaciated heartstrings of everyone all the time.

Finally, when the owner of the footsteps, carrying the light from the torch, appeared at the end of the passage.

It made the bodies of everyone present tremble involuntarily.

What appeared in front of them was a group of Holy Night Army soldiers who were fully armed and held sharp knives!

"Sure enough, it's rewarding."

Seeing the trembling residents, the soldier captain at the head gave a disdainful smile, and while waving the wide-edged sword in his hand, said grimly: "Put down that ridiculous toy in your hands, maybe you can live longer."

"Don't think about it! We won't go with you demons!"

Taking a deep breath, the old man tightly held the wooden fork in his hand, and said solemnly: "Victory will belong to Leng Yan in the end!"

"Hehe, it turned out to be a hard bone."

Looking at the trembling crowd in front of him with great interest, the soldier captain smiled and mocked: "Your soldiers have already fallen at our feet. What can you old and bereaved dogs do?"

"Bastard, don't just talk about it!"

How honored and unbelievable it is for these war-torn residents to be personally rescued by Her Royal Highness the Princess? !

Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

From the current scene, it can be clearly seen.

Relying on Ariel's status as the fifth princess of Lengyan, she can indeed make her side's next actions more effective with half the effort.

It is true that although with Lei Xiao's development speed, it is only a matter of time before Leng Yan and even Shengye next to him can be leveled out.

However, in the face of the terrible catastrophe that may come at any time, the most lacking thing on our side is undoubtedly time.

To sum up, in the current situation where the prestige of the three princes in the capital is decreasing day by day.

It is obviously the best choice to subdue Ariel first, and then raise the banner of Ariel's fifth princess to rapidly grow her strength.

Only when more resources are mastered, can the power of the golden finger be brought into full play to lay a solid foundation for the next catastrophe.

After all, it can be seen from many prophecies that this will be a terrible disaster that will sweep across the entire continent.

Moreover, just as Wang Xi said, only by making full use of one's own talent can one plan ahead and help the human race survive this catastrophe.

"However, then again, according to Wang Xi, the catastrophe was just a prelude."

Realizing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued to think: "In addition to the many mysteries in the blank era, it really makes people look forward to what unimaginable things will happen then. "

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

On the other side, there was a discordant voice, which suddenly came over.

"Everyone, don't listen to this hypocritical guy who is demagogic here!"

At this time, the short middle-aged woman who had been standing in the shadow of the corner, the short middle-aged woman who had angered the soldiers of the Holy Night just now stood up and snorted coldly: "You said you are the fifth princess of Lengyan?"

I saw the expression of the short woman became more and more gloomy, and then said coldly: "Then I would like to ask you, not long ago, knowing that Holy Night has already greatly increased the number of troops in this area, you guys Why didn't the royal family take action?"

Speaking of this, the short woman became even more agitated, and continued: "Now that the flames of war have reached this place, turning the fields into tombs, but you come here to be the savior, don't you think it's too late? ?

All of a sudden, upon hearing these unexpected words, Ariel's white face, which was originally smiling, suddenly froze, and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared.

On the side, Bert and Jubai, the two generals of the kingdom, just took a step forward after receiving Lei Xiao's implicit permission. They wanted to defend themselves, but they were stopped by Ariel herself.

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense!"

At this time, the old man interrupted the short woman's speech, frowned and said: "It is already a great gift for us to condescend to come to the rescue regardless of the danger, why don't you Want to add bad words?"

After finishing speaking, the old man couldn't help but sighed heavily again.

Not long ago, this short woman had a happy family, but now, she is the only one left, so it's no wonder she made such a disrespectful move.

"Old man, stop blaming this woman."

After being stunned for a moment, Ariel shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "It is indeed because of our dereliction of duty that we did not fulfill our due responsibility as protectors, which caused the current dire situation."

Speaking of this, Ariel cheered up, and smiled again: "Okay, you can leave here with me first, and talk about other things later."

"His Royal Highness is right, it is important to escape from here first!"

On the other side, the old man exchanged glances with other old and weak residents around him, and then continued: "I am willing to follow Her Royal Highness and leave here together!"

"Would you ~I don't want to!"

At this time, the short woman stood up again, and said with a cold snort: "The gang of **** from Holy Night must be surrounded by now, with this little people, what's the difference between going out and throwing yourself into a trap?"

Glancing at Ariel with disdain, the short woman continued: "It's better to stay here, so as to have a chance of living! After all, not every enemy may find this place!"

"this"

Hearing this, quite a few of the other residents, who were already full of energy and were about to leave together, began to hesitate again.

Seeing this, the short woman couldn't help showing a smug look on her face, as if she had slapped Ariel hard.

Noticing this, just when Ariel wanted to open her mouth to persuade her, but she was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

On the other side, a cold voice suddenly rang out: "This woman, you should have had enough trouble, right?"
