Elm wood has already been infiltrated, and so far no one has noticed anything unusual.
Elmwood walked contentedly on his way to collect the black bread in the valley, when he saw Lilac not far away.
"Still so strong," Elm muttered to himself.
Dingxiang also saw the elm tree. She could hardly believe her eyes. The elm tree was actually here?
Alice, standing nearby, looked at Dingxiang, who was standing still, with some confusion. "Come on! Sister Dingxiang, what's so interesting? She doesn't look much stronger than me."
"Yes, Alice, you're a weakling. You must find a husband as strong as me in the future," Dingxiang joked after a brief moment of surprise.
Alice, still a girl, became shy after Dingxiang's words. "Sister Dingxiang, I'm still young."
"Hehe!" Dingxiang chuckled and led Alice forward.
It was Elm's turn at the bread distribution point, and the guard distributing the bread did not hesitate, giving Elm two loaves of black bread directly.
Elm took the black mask and found a relatively secluded spot. He knew that Dingxiang would definitely come over soon, because Dingxiang had been watching him.
Their formal meeting was devoid of tears or passionate embraces, because the setting was simply not suitable.
Elm suppressed his emotions. "Lilac, time is tight. Don't ask me anything, just listen to me. I've gone to a very good territory, and now we're going to attack it. What you need to do is appease these miners. When we launch our attack, they should all hide in the mines or find somewhere to hide. Don't run around and cause chaos. Of course, don't say it out loud, understand?"
Yu Mu didn't mention his son, fearing that Ding Xiang would become emotionally unstable if she knew her son was still alive.
Dingxiang nodded without asking any questions. Yumu watched Dingxiang's departing figure with satisfaction.
She is strong on the outside, but she has a delicate mind inside.
The next few days were calm, but danger often lurks beneath the surface.
Don't misunderstand, it's not that the elm tree is dangerous, it's that the entire valley's guardianship is dangerous.
It was another afternoon, a time when people are most tired. The miners were resting in the shade of the mine shaft, and the guards were also listlessly leaning against the shady spots they could find.
Suddenly, the "coo-coo-coo" of birds rang out again. The guard leaning against a small tree picked up his bow and arrow and fired an arrow into the woods on the mountain. "Serves you right for making that noise! Today it's either you or me! You're so annoying..."
Before he could finish speaking, an arrow pierced his chest.
This arrow not only determined who was superior, but also life and death.
But he believed until his death that his opponent was a bird.
As he fell, arrows rained down from all four directions, turning the valley into chaos.
Like a pot of porridge that hasn't fully boiled, the chaos is only among the guards. Most of the miners are hiding inside the mine, while the few outside are hiding in concealed places, too afraid to move.
Of course, the guards weren't a mess to be stirred up at will. After a brief period of panic, those who hadn't been hit by arrows quickly sought cover.
The guard squad leader quickly drew his longsword. He had already decided that they had to break out of the valley entrance, or they would all die here, because the enemy's arrows were exceptionally powerful.
He had dealt with barbarians before, and clearly this was not something barbarians could possess. As for the miners, they could only leave it to fate.
The battle at the valley entrance was not intense, because the enemy's long arrows couldn't even withstand shields; the arrows could send the guards with shields staggering back several steps.
And the arrows seemed to be flying in this direction as if they were free. The guard squad leader was starting to feel intimidated, and just as he was about to retreat and take cover...
Andrew stepped forward at the opportune moment. He was completely encased in armor, and the knight's sword in his hand gleamed coldly. He stood there like a steel demon.
This is the only set of plate armor in the territory, and it still has many imperfections. It is currently in the experimental stage.
"Will you surrender or continue fighting?"
