Chapter 475： Proverbs and the Princess

Popular recommendation:

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

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

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

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

In the twinkling of a little golden light, the weather-beaten sallow faces and the deep sunken eye sockets with tired and frightened eyes were reflected.

Everyone here clearly understands.

A few years ago, if it wasn't for the hunters in the town who stumbled upon this abandoned beast den, I'm afraid they would have been dead by now.

At this moment, when thinking of the cruel night where darkness and flames intertwined, the savage faces of the blue-patterned armored soldiers waving the sharp blades in their hands, some people still tremble unconsciously, a look of horror that still lingers in their hearts.

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

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

I saw the tall middle-aged woman wearing a floral coarse cloth dress with a happy expression, and she blurted out, "It's Jerry and Lily, the two little calves 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, and shouted to find food and water for everyone.

It can be said that this mother, who has been brokenhearted, has no less fear.

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

"Wait, there's something weird!"

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

"what?!"

This soft sound, like a thunderclap, made the expressions of others around him suddenly tense.

For a time, a look of uncontrollable panic appeared on the faces of everyone in the cave, and began to unconsciously try to move further into the depths of the cave.

But there was apparently no place for them to hide except for the strong and rough walls of the cave.

"Don't panic!"

I saw the white-haired old man with a strong body, grabbing a wooden fork beside him, and pointing at a dozen other, seemingly strong old people and women not far away. nod.

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

At this time, although they were holding farm implements that could barely be regarded as weapons, their panicked eyes were already full of despair.

At the same time, the rustling voice was still approaching where everyone was, and it became clearer.

At this moment, the slightly chaotic footsteps, every point forward, the fear on the faces of everyone in the cave will increase by one point.

This unknown voice is like the death knell ringing in the temple, always hitting everyone's already haggard heartstrings.

Finally, when the owner of the footsteps, with the light on the torch, appeared at the end of the passage.

It caused the bodies of everyone present to tremble.

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

"It really did pay off."

Seeing the trembling residents, the leader of the soldier smiled disdainfully, and while shaking the broad-edged sword in his hand, he said: "Put down your ridiculous toys, maybe you can live longer."

"Stop delusional! We will not compromise with you demons!"

Taking a deep breath, the old man clenched the wooden fork in his hand and said awe-inspiringly, "Victory will ultimately belong to Leng Yan!"

"Yo, it turns out to be a hard bone."

Looking at the trembling crowd in front of him with great interest, the captain of the soldiers smiled and sneered: "Your soldiers have already fallen at our feet, just rely on you old people and bereaved dogs, what can you do? ?"

"Bastard, don't talk too much!"

Next to the old man, another short middle-aged woman with a sickle in her hand countered, "If it weren't for your large numbers, how could we Leng Yan retreat to the fortress?"

Speaking of which, the middle-aged short woman snorted coldly and continued: "Have you forgotten everything about the fiasco on the plain before? At that time, you were a group of real bereaved dogs!"

"Stop talking, don't provoke them further!"

Hearing this, the old man hurriedly stopped Dao, however, it was too late.

"Kill me!"

On the other side, the gloomy face of the captain of the Holy Night Soldier was already full of killing intent.

I saw that he didn't say any more. He raised the broad-edged sword in his hand, and his figure flashed, and he rushed towards the residents holding farm implements.

The other Holy Night soldiers on the side, with their sullen faces, were also full of ferociousness, waving the sharp blades in their hands and rushing up together.

There is no doubt that in the face of a group of strong and well-equipped soldiers, these physically and mentally exhausted old and weak women and children will obviously not have any chance of life.

Just as the captain of the soldier who was full of killing intent jumped up, the broad-edged sword in his hand was in full bloom.

I saw a burly figure, flashed out suddenly, stretched out a big hand, grabbed the connection of the light armor on the captain of the soldier, and while pulling it back, took advantage of the situation and pressed it to the ground.

In the next second, there was only a muffled sound, and the leader of the Holy Night Soldier who fell headlong didn't even snort, but remained motionless.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp "click" sound of broken bones.

In the blink of an eye, the Holy Night Soldier team that was about to start a massacre just now was completely destroyed on the spot.

At this time, the burly figure gradually became clear, and it was naturally Ye Cang wearing golden glasses.

When everything was quiet again, Ye Cang first lightly brushed the dust off his body, then bowed slightly towards Lei Xiao who was walking slowly, and stood respectfully to the side.

At present, Lei Xiao was only accompanied by Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Bert and Ju Bai.

As for the other subordinates such as knotweed, they are secretly clearing up the small Holy Night Army trying to get close to the cave in the vicinity of the cave to prevent other soldiers from approaching.

On the other side, looking at the unbelievable scene in front of them, these Leng Yan residents have not yet recovered from their shock.

Ariel was already holding the pair of teenage girls and walked over together.

"Jerry, Lily!"

Seeing this scene, at first, the tall middle-aged woman in a floral coarse cloth skirt looked ecstatic, and immediately came up to greet them, and then tightly embraced the two of them in her arms, and began to sob continuously.

"Mother, don't cry, we're here to save everyone!"

I saw that the young man first smiled at the girl, and then both pushed Ariel in front of everyone and introduced: "This is our Princess Ariel of Leng Yan!"

"what?!"

Hearing these unbelievable words, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Unbelievable eyes with a little longing and grievance began to project towards Ariel one after another.

These people are just ordinary peasants living at the bottom of the kingdom. Some of them have never even seen the nobles in their entire lives, let alone the members of the royal family who rule the entire Lengyan Kingdom? !

"You... are you really our Princess Leng Yan?"

Staring at Ariel's delicate and fair face, the leading old man first rubbed his cloudy eyes and asked tentatively.

"Yes, I will take everyone out of here. From now on, everyone can no longer be afraid."

Looking at the group of sallow-faced and skinny Leng Yan people in front of her, Ariel's heart was already filled with emotion.

She has been educated by the elite of the royal family since she was a child. The first lesson she learned was to keep in mind the proverbs of the Leng Yan royal family written by the heroic king Xisa herself.

The first sentence of the proverb is the identity of the royal family, which not only symbolizes the supreme and noble, but also the absolute protector of the commoners.

However, judging from the current situation, her three king brothers, apparently selectively forgot the most important second half of the first sentence, and completely lost in the whirlpool of power.

"Bye...Meet Your Highness the Princess!"

On the other side, hearing Ariel's firm answer, almost all the old and weak residents, including the old man, could not help but burst into tears and lowered their heads to Ariel.

Judging from the trembling bodies of these people, they are all in a state of excitement now.

To be rescued by Her Royal Highness the Princess, what an honor and disbelief for these war-torn residents? !

Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

From the current scene, it can be clearly seen.

With the identity of Ariel Lengyan's fifth princess, she can indeed make her next actions more effective with half the effort.

It is true that although Lei Xiao's development speed can directly calm down Leng Yan and even the holy night next to him, in the final analysis, it is only a matter of time.

However, in the face of the terrifying cataclysm that may come at any time, the thing that our side lacks the most is undoubtedly time.

To sum up, in the current situation of the three princes in the capital, the prestige is declining.

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

Only by mastering more resources can we maximize the power of the golden finger and lay a solid foundation for the next cataclysm.

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

And, just as Wang Xi said, only by making full use of his talent can he be able to plan ahead and help the human race survive this catastrophe smoothly.

"However, then again, according to Wang Xi, the cataclysm 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, I can't help but look forward to what unimaginable things will happen. "

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

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

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

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

I saw the expression of the short woman became more gloomy, and then said coldly: "Then I want to ask you, not long ago, I knew that Holy Night had been increasing troops to this area, you guys Why hasn't the royal family acted?"

Speaking of this, the short woman became even more excited and continued: "Now that the fire of war has ravaged this place, turning the fields into tombs, but you came here to be the savior, don't you think it's too late? ?"

For a while, after hearing these unexpected words, Ariel's white face with a smile suddenly solidified, and a look of astonishment appeared.

On the other side, the two kingdom generals, Bert and Ju Bai, had just stepped forward with Lei Xiao's veiled permission. They wanted to explain a few words, but they were stopped by Ariel herself.

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense!"

At this time, I saw the old man just now, interrupted the short woman's speech, frowned and said: "The princess can deign to come to rescue regardless of the danger, it is already a great gift to us, why do you still Want to add evil words?"

After speaking, the old man could not help but sigh again.

Not long ago, this short woman had a happy family, but now, she is the only one left It is no wonder that she would act so disrespectfully.

"Old man, don't blame this woman anymore."

After being stunned for a moment, Ariel shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "It is indeed because of our negligence that we did not play our due protector responsibilities, and this caused the current unbearable situation."

Having said that, Ariel lifted her spirits and smiled again: "Okay, you can leave here with me first, and talk about other things later."

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

On the other side, the old man first glanced at the other old and weak residents around, and then continued: "I am willing to follow Her Royal Highness and leave here together!"

"You want it, I don't want it!"

At this moment, the short woman just now stood up again and snorted coldly: "The outside must have been surrounded by the gang of sons and daughters of Holy Night. With just these people, what's the difference between going out and throwing yourself into the net?"

Glancing at Ariel disdainfully, the short woman continued: "It's better to stay here, so that there is a chance to live! After all, not every enemy is likely to find this place!"

"this……"

Hearing this, quite a few of the other residents who were ready to leave with their energy, began to hesitate again.

Seeing this, a smug look appeared on the face of the short woman, as if she had slapped Ariel hard.

Noticing this, just as Ariel was about to open her mouth to persuade her, she was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

On the other side, an icy voice suddenly rang out: "This woman, have you had enough trouble?"
