The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 170: The Enemy Attacked Again (Part 2)
The armed camel eagle formation landed at the southeast command post camp outside Punjab. Compared with the barracks in the city, it looked spacious and simple. Hundreds of camel cavalry were galloping across the flat playground, brandishing sharp swords and spears. Attacking the Scarecrow, a dozen officers headed by the major saluted in a line to welcome the return of the two lieutenants who had traveled, "Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Sardis, Lieutenant Colonel Jonah, what happened to Ekbatana? Now, the whole Punjab can see the red light on the horizon." The major raised his hand in salute and asked inexplicably,
Lieutenant Colonel Sardis turned over and jumped off his mount and patted the camel eagle's neck: "Our Lieutenant Colonel Jona has conquered the volcanic country with his own power. It is a remarkable feat of personal heroism."
Jonah returned to the ground with the help of the cavalry, and said with a little embarrassment: "No, no, with the help of the lieutenant colonel and the flying cavalry, my partner and I can solve Ekbatana’s dilemma. This It's the honor of everyone." As he said, he opened his shoulder bag and took out the precious war agreement, "please put it away, the pink hat dwarves are no longer a threat to Tocharo, they are all considerate and good people. "
While talking, the group returned to the barracks. The major had arranged a room for Jonah and Asai earlier. The astrologer took a pleasant hot bath, replaced the tattered robe, and put on the slave The new clothes brought by the City of Gold immediately felt refreshed and exhausted. He wiped his hair and walked into the room. The Oriental still sat down on the bed and muttered, "What a beautiful pocket watch, the whole point. A cute little yellow bird can fly out when telling the time, and it can also play nice waltz..."
"Okay." Jonah was exasperated. "There must be something similar in my gift. You can take whatever you like."
"Leave me alone, I'm just a hapless Oriental..." Asai said gloomily, "I will leave after lunch, and let me go to the Veda alone, anyway, it's a bad luck anyway... …"
The astrologer patted him on the shoulder: "I will go to Veda too, I will not leave you alone."
"...what." The eyes of the Oriental lit up suddenly, "You are serious."
"Of course it's true." Jonah smiled, "Let’s go together tomorrow."
"Great...I can't do without you..." Asai stared at the 17-year-old with bright eyes. The gratification, joy, relief and joy in his eyes crackled on Jona’s face, causing Jona’s face. The little face flushed and said: "It's nothing, I also have a reason to go, I didn't make a special trip to accompany you..."
The oriental clapped his hands and said: "I am also worried that the language barrier will cause trouble after going to Veda. Since you are here, I am completely relieved."
"...what." the astrologer said in confusion,
"I also just heard that after the founding of Brahma, the official language of Veda was Sanskrit, and all citizens were required to abandon the lingua franca of the southern continent and use Sanskrit to write and talk." Asai introduced, "Sanskrit. The language was originally used for writing scriptures in Buddhism and paganism. It only exists in temples. No one knows why Brahma has to shut himself up and engage in such a thankless popularization campaign.,, in short, Brother Jona, the Sanskrit language you accidentally learned is actually useful."
"Oh, this way...so the reason for your partner with me is not the identity of an astrologer, but the convenience of a portable translator." Jonah thought for a while and glared at the other party.
The Oriental smiled harmlessly: "No, no, it’s more important to have a travel companion who can chat. Anyone who travels a lot knows that having a chat partner is the top priority for traveling around the world. ."
After Asai took a shower and changed clothes, the two began to unpack the gifts of the Flores, and they couldn’t help exclaiming at all kinds of exquisite machinery, whether it was a small robot that peeled a pineapple while dancing. The steam tops that can spit out soap bubbles and won’t stop as soon as they spin up are all strange and fun things. The only regret is that they couldn’t find another beautiful pocket watch. Dude can’t tolerate other pocket watches.” The Easterner took out his rusty, creaky, and crooked pocket watch, and caressed the scornful old man lovingly.
"Can you tell me the origin of it." Jonah leaned over to take a look, feeling a little curious, "Is the depression on the back of the watch a bullet hole."
Asai hesitated, "It's nothing to tell you, but it's a bit complicated to talk about. By the way, you haven't got an answer after asking that question several times. If you have time today, you must have a good chat. "
"What's the problem." the astrologer asked,
"About Long Ji..."
Like some kind of constant curse, the Easterner’s question was interrupted again, a green light "swish" out of the deerskin bag, and the moonlight elves drew a few circles between the two. Anxiously shouted: "There are enemies, there are enemies, don't you feel it, a very powerful enemy."
The two men looked at each other, and Asai shook his head: "Formidable enemy, you mean the guy who is quietly climbing down from the third-story balcony, I don't think it's a big deal."
"Bah, you arrogant." Xiaoguai flew up and kicked on the tip of the oriental man’s nose, "Then the obvious dark power is not strong enough, I can feel the blackness in the bottle. A sense of evil...like a centipede crawling out of a stinking tar pool, disgusting and numb, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I feel cold all over."
"What are you talking about, there are really enemies." Holding the staff tightly, the astrologer hasn't figured out the situation yet,
"It's okay, a dark magician or sorcerer, Miss Elf's space magic happens to be restrained by the dark magic, so she seems a little sensitive." Asai pouted nonchalantly,
"Puff." Suddenly the glass window was penetrated by a thick black substance. The glass was not broken, but a large hole was exposed as if it was dissolved by strong acid. The black liquid lingering evil breath resembled a living body. The same scorpion advances, raising his head and attacking Jonah, "It turns out to be a Darkwater Sorcerer, a small carving bug..." The oriental looked up at the ceiling, and lightly held the hilt of the "gluttonous" sword in his right hand.
At this moment, a man's figure appeared silently in the room, facing the black turbid current, and in an instant this man was enveloped in darkness and turned into a trembling black mummy." …Zarin Cooper." Jonah screamed. He didn’t tell which of the two ensigns was, only the neat uniform on his body.
The door of the room opened, and another lieutenant walked in with a blank face, "Please go back." He waved his hand, and another officer wrapped in sticky tar suddenly became short and turned into a wave. The trickle melted into his body, "Wow." The black viscous liquid that lost the target spilled all over the floor, and white smoke came out of the dissolved military uniform.
Another pudgy figure appeared on the balcony, looking up at it. This person was one of Mias’s four subordinates, the third-level clone of Zalinku, "want to leave." This guy who didn't know what it was called Zalin roared, and his body shot up. It seems that the Darkwater Sorcerer wanted to retreat because he missed a hit.
"Stay in the room." Zalinku nodded at Jona, opened the door and walked out of the room,
The black water that lost the master’s control dissolved the entire carpet, and continued to gnaw on the stone ground, making a oozing noise, "Bait." The boy looked at Asai, "Take the tiger away from the mountain." Oriental Guessed, "I didn't feel the enchantment, would it be too blatant to attack in the barracks?" Jona was puzzled,
"Boom." Suddenly the whole ceiling shattered. At the same time, a circle of enchantment enveloped the entire room. The timing was very tacit, "Damn, Jonah, you crow's mouth." Xiaoguai cursed. , Spread the white space shield to cover the three people underneath. The gravel and the enemy’s attack came at the same time, "Boom." The magic elf’s shield blocked the two strong attacks. The rod fought back, but it was empty,
"Don't retreat to the wall, there may be enemies at the edge of the barrier at any time, but I have to say, they can really pick the time, although it is midday, I feel very good today." Asai Licking Licking his lips, gently flicking away the dust and smoke in the air,
Six enemies appeared in front of them. In the center were their old acquaintances, the son of the Governor-General of the Guards, Heremias, the talented white-robed priest Mias. He couldn’t see the vivaciousness of young people. Standing beside him were several people with different descriptions, tall or short. Two of them were officers he had brought from the City of Gold. The reinforcements of the Brotherhood,
"Look, see, I've been entangled in this kind of trouble since I followed you..." The Moonlight Elf yelled very uncomfortably, "You have to pay for the mental loss of my old lady. Minutes of air time have become fighting time."
"I think you enjoy fighting, Miss Elf." The Oriental said with a grin,
"...Are you the roundworm in my belly, braided man." Xiaoguai gave him a vicious look,
A Sai suddenly swung a sword, and the light cyan sword light drew an arc behind him, "Ping." The sound of the steel wire being cut was heard, and the enemy standing on the far right suddenly screamed, coughing. A mouthful of blood, "Sneak attack, impolite." The Oriental put his braid around his shoulder and waved his finger lightly.
"Mias, why did you join the Brotherhood of Scarlet Owl, why did you chase me down." Looking directly at the white-robed priest opposite, Jonah clenched the staff Syrahfauna and asked loudly,
"Jonah." The young man with a sinister face squeezed a few words from his teeth, "In the beginning it was only the request of the deacon, and then it became a personal grudge. The shame you put on me, I want Ten thousand times back to you... No, one million times."
"Shame, did you say that you lost to Ugly Face Liche? He is a real strong man, and you are just too young." Adam became a naked irony, "You are young, have you grown pubic hair yourself, idiot." The priest in the white robe yelled and launched an attack,
