Chapter 212 You really enjoyed it, didn’t you?
The next day, it was just dawn.
In the living room.
Sona carefully folded a bed sheet, her every move was very gentle, her watery eyes looked at the bed sheet, with a sweet smile on her lips.
"Then I'll go back first."
Turning around, she looked at Lu Qi, who was walking down the stairs with a sleepy look on his face. A clear and sweet voice sounded in his mind.
It seems that because of the connection established between the two, there is no longer a need for Kuo Hua to act as an intermediary to convey Sona's voice.
As long as Sona wanted, her voice could be heard by Lucci at any time.
"Yes." Lu Qi responded and looked at Sona: "Does the wound still hurt?"
Hearing this, Sona blushed a little and shook her head gently: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Lu Qi glanced at the sheets in her arms, thought for a while and said, "Don't run away, just leave it here. It's still very cold outside."
Sona insisted on holding the folded sheets: "No, I want to keep it private."
Since she insists on insisting, Lu Qi has nothing more to say.
Sona took the sheets and quickly left the yard, heading towards her home in a good mood.
Lu Qi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, stretched out a little sleepily, and was in a daze out of boredom.
Two consecutive nights of hard fighting had left him mentally weak.
At this moment, he didn't even have the energy to stand up and practice the health-building technique again.
Fortunately, we are leaving soon, so we can rest for a while on the way and recuperate our energy.
Around seven o'clock in the morning.
Lux and the others also arrived.
After breakfast, everyone packed their luggage and headed outside the royal capital.
At noon, Lu Qi and others arrived at the boat port town where they set out last time.
Here, a ship is ready.
Five hundred soldiers have also boarded the ship, along with 200 logistics personnel responsible for taking care of a large amount of supplies.
Several of the cargo ships were particularly conspicuous, and the materials loaded inside made many people at the port curious.
As Lu Qi and others boarded the ship, within a short time, the fleet began to set off in the direction of its destination.
At first glance, the scale is even larger than last time.
Because the destination this time is not the border waters, the direction of the ship is not the sea.
If you want to go to the southeastern border, taking the water route is also the most convenient and the most time-saving and labor-saving way.
Demacia has a main river called the Silver River, and on the other side, there is a river called the Galaxy.
This river leads almost from the west to the southeast of Demacia, and can even exit the country.
Winter has just entered at this time, the temperature is not too low, and we can still take the sea route.
After a while, the temperature will drop and the river will freeze, making it difficult to take a boat.
The destination this time is a port city called Tobitsia.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Lu Qi looked at the sparkling river in front of him as the slightly swaying hull set off towards the destination, and a familiar feeling appeared in his heart.
He actually likes riding in boats, if you put aside the obvious shaking of the boat due to waves from time to time.
After boarding the boat, the two little girls Kashina and Lux also seemed quite excited. This was their first time taking a boat, and they were going so far away from the border.
Therefore, I am very curious about everything on the boat and the scenery outside the boat.
However, as the wind gradually increased, the sailing speed began to increase.
Lu Qi, who was looking at the scenery, felt a little shaky and sleepy. At this moment, Miss Crown Guard staggered towards him, her little face looking a little pale.
As he got closer, he knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound.
Lu Qi was stunned for a moment: "Why do you need to perform such a big gift?"
"Fine, you idiot." Lux glared at him with her last bit of strength, and then fell down weakly.
Lu Qi caught her, and looking at her weak expression and dizzy eyes, he naturally understood what was going on.
Apparently this guy is seasick.
"vomit"
As the ship rocked twice more, Lux opened her mouth, and as soon as she let out a retching sound, Lucci immediately covered her mouth.
She stared at him with wide eyes, but quickly closed them uncomfortably.
In fact, she didn't want to vomit, but she felt extremely dizzy when the boat rocked. Her chest and head felt extremely uncomfortable when she felt dizzy.
Seasickness is a normal phenomenon, but judging from the appearance of this thing, I'm afraid it's a particularly sick type.
Lu Qi didn't prepare seasickness medicine in advance, so he could only help her relieve it now.
He stretched out his hand, placed it near Lux's temples, and began to massage it gently. Then he changed several acupuncture points on the back of her white and tender neck and continued to massage them.
Lux didn't resist at all. She felt Lu Qi's slight chill, but it was very comfortable to rub it with her fingers. After a while, there was an expression of enjoyment on her dizzy little face.
When Lu Qi saw this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy.
He himself was so sleepy that he had to take care of this guy first.
The girl's dizziness at the moment was obviously an act. The silly-looking smile on her lips had already given her away, and naturally she couldn't hide it from Lu Qi.
Therefore, he struck with a little more force.
Lux hummed twice, frowned and said, "Be gentle."
Not only was Lu Qi's hand not gentle, he was a little harder: "Do you really think I'm a massager?"
Lux opened her eyes now and looked at him with dissatisfaction: "I am a patient now and need to be treated gently. The pressure on my neck just now was quite comfortable. Please give me a little more."
"You're really enjoying it, aren't you?" Lu Qi stretched out his hand and pinched both sides of her tender cheeks unceremoniously, forcing her mouth to pout, as if she had been pinched.
Her little face is surprisingly tender and feels quite good when pinched.
"Let go of the nest!" Lux suddenly started struggling and protested vaguely.
Lu Qi let go of her hand, and she immediately sat up, rubbing her face and glaring at him unkindly.
Lu Qi pretended not to see it and asked casually: "Are you still dizzy?"
Lux felt it, and even though the ship was shaking again, the dizziness was indeed gone.
She suddenly felt miraculous: "I really don't feel dizzy anymore!"
"It's just temporary. Just wait and I'll make you some seasickness medicine."
Lu Qi yawned and stood up.
Lux's face fell: "Ah? Do you still want to take medicine?"
It's not like she has never drank the medicine made by Lu Qi. For example, when she had a toothache last time, it was so painful that she almost fainted.
When she heard that she needed to take medicine, she was extremely unhappy.
Lu Qi turned to glance at her: "You don't have to drink, provided you can endure the seasickness just now."
Lux paused for a moment, then winked at him: "When I feel dizzy, could you just hold my hand for me?"
Lu Qi chuckled: "What you think is quite beautiful."
The days on the ship were not just a day or two, and he didn't want to wait on this young lady all day long.
Seeing that her little plan failed, Lux sighed.
After all, she couldn't avoid the fate of drinking a bowl of bitter medicine.
I have to say that the effect of Lu Qi's medicine is really great.
After drinking it, Lacus no longer felt seasick.
She began to faint from the medicine.
After drinking a bowl of bitter scalp-numbing medicine, Lux suddenly felt bad all over. Her face was visibly pale, not much better than when she was seasick.
Then he collapsed in his room, losing all his strength.
She has also learned a lot of pharmacological knowledge in the past few days, and she feels that the medicine should not be so bitter.
She strongly suspected that Lu Qi secretly added some unrelated herbs to make the medicine more bitter.
However, there was no evidence and no strength, so we had no choice but to give up.
After eating some lunch, Lu Qi felt really sleepy, so he lay down and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, the sky had darkened. The sun was setting in the west, and the golden-red clouds were rolling, swaying in the lights on both sides of the coast. It was surprisingly beautiful.
The fleet arrived at a coastal town, and it seemed that some kind of celebration was being held. The young men and women on the shore saw the fleet, enthusiastically gathered around the shore, and threw fresh fruits and beautiful wreaths on the ship.
The children were very happy chasing the fleet along the river bank.
This scene made Lu Qi quite emotional, and he especially liked this atmosphere.
Lacus stood on the boat deck and waved to both sides of the river with the same enthusiasm, as if she had joined the celebration.
The shining Crownguard lady in the sunset dazzled many people.
Lu Qi took a look and confirmed that she was no longer seasick.
The ship was moving very fast. When it got dark, the fleet had already passed the coastal towns and continued to set off towards the destination without stopping.
November 23rd, 3pm.
Located in the Shuoyin Mountains, at the foot of the Emerald Peak.
Jarvan IV led his 2,500 soldiers and continued to advance in the direction of Trevel.
At this time, on a horse, Jarvan IV looked at the letter in his hand, and couldn't help but exert a little force on his hand.
"Has the Gate of Sorrow finally fallen?"
He looked in the direction of the Gate of Sorrow, already vaguely anticipating this outcome.
The Gate of Sorrow is located at the high point of the mountain. The surrounding terrain is steep and backed by mountains. It occupies a naturally high position. It is an excellent location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It is also the main location that Demacia and Noxus have fought over for many years.
Since Noxus withdrew its troops more than ten years ago, the sovereignty of Mourngate has fallen into the hands of Demacia.
Due to its remote location, it was assigned to the German allies for garrison.
This time Noxus launched a sudden attack, and with the help of refugees, bandits, and barbarian tribes providing cover, the allies of Mourngate were still unable to support the arrival of support.
On the side, an adjutant heard this and asked: "Your Highness, what should we do?"
Putting away the message, Jarvan IV looked forward: "Keep going. I remember that fifty miles ahead is the territory of the Lizard people. Let's go and take a look first."
The direction of their attack was Trevel, south of the Mourngate.
In front is a territory belonging to Demacia's allies, the Lizardmen.
The lizard people are a group of people with human-like bodies, but their appearance is similar to lizards, but their IQ and living habits are equivalent to humans.
Moreover, the lizard people are not good at fighting.
Many years ago, they took the initiative to defect to Demacia and became Demacia's loyal allies.
The lizard people like to live in this kind of area, so the race has not migrated and lives here all year round.
They will produce a resource called "lizard skin", which is a high-quality material for Demacia to make soft leather armor.
After he gave the order, the team continued to set off.
After marching thirty miles, Jarvan IV looked at the billowing smoke and dust rising in the distance in the forest, and had a vague premonition.
"Go at full speed!"
Without hesitation, he shouted loudly, and the horse under him immediately accelerated and galloped towards the lizard tribe's territory.
Behind him, 2,500 soldiers followed at full speed.
As the distance got closer, the sounds of fighting and roaring accompanied by screams and crying became more and more clear from blur.
A fire broke out in the lizard tribe's territory, and black smoke continued to rise into the sky.
In the smoke, black-armored soldiers shuttled one after another. The faces under their helmets were as ferocious as demons. The blood-stained blades in their hands were ruthlessly chopped down by the lizard tribesmen who were unable to restrain themselves.
Women, children, young men and women. No matter how they beg for mercy, they cannot avoid the enemy's butcher's knife.
They set the lizardfolk's houses on fire, making the fire worse.
The blood dyed the ground red, and it was so bright red among the uncleaned snow.
A portion of the lizard people with fighting strength continued to resist, but they seemed weak and powerless in front of this legion.
The fallen corpses of the lizard people were one after another. Their eyes before death were so desperate and helpless.
In this case, the laughter of those killers seemed even more harsh.
A ruthless massacre was taking place in front of Jarvan IV and others.
In just a moment, Jarvan IV's eyes were filled with monstrous rage. He raised the halberd in his hand vigorously and shouted: "Kill!!"
As soon as the words fell, the others rushed towards the lizard tribe's territory, not wanting to waste any time.
"kill!!!"
Behind him, two thousand five hundred roars responded in unison.
Jarvan IV had already rushed into the territory, riding an unrivaled horse on his crotch to kill a Noxian soldier. Before he got close, he had already swung his halberd.
The soldier had no time to react before he was hit hard by the halberd. Cracks appeared in his hard armor. He flew backwards and knocked down friendly soldiers.
People have already died.
Jarvan IV jumped up from his horse and swung his halberd at the enemy soldiers on the opposite side with his endless fury.
"ah!!"
Accompanied by a burst of screams, in just a short moment, he had already taken the lives of several Noxian soldiers.
Behind him, a group of soldiers had also arrived and launched an attack on the enemy troops in the territory.
The Noxian legion's combat power was scattered, and they were unable to react in time, which resulted in many casualties.
But after all, they were still troops capable of going to the battlefield. They quickly reacted, gathered together, and launched a counterattack against Jarvan IV's army.
There are quite a few of them, six to seven thousand in total, and they are a powerful battle group.
Soon, the two sides were fighting together, and for a while there were constant sounds of killing, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard from everywhere.
But the advantage was always on Jarvan IV's side.
Although there were few people on his side, each of the 2,500 soldiers who accompanied him on the attack were carefully trained, brave and skilled soldiers.
They had developed an excellent tacit understanding long before they went into the army.
Hard training every day, waiting for this day.
Any military formation can be quickly assembled with just an order from Jarvan IV.
In contrast, although the Noxian warband has a large number of people, the strength of the soldiers is uneven. At first glance, they are pieced together, and they do not even undergo unified training before going to the battlefield.
But this is indeed the style of Noxus. They are too absorbent, and the army has a steady stream of new forces joining them.
Therefore, quality becomes insignificant.
However, this fighting method of suppressing numbers is okay for dealing with some weak tribes and small countries.
But facing Demacia, their numerical advantage was gone.
At the beginning, Noxus underestimated the enemy on this point and suffered a big loss at the hands of Demacia.
Under the leadership of Jarvan IV, the battle between the two sides quickly became a one-sided advantage for his side.
Following the sudden death of the leader of the Noxian Chapter, the remaining three to four thousand men of the Chapter suddenly collapsed like a leaderless group and began to flee in terror.
"Leave three hundred people to guard, and kill the rest as I please!"
Jarvan IV's angry eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He gave the order and took the lead in the pursuit.
He would never allow a Noxian warband to slaughter his allies and then leave like this.
Now the tragic situation of the lizard people is before our eyes. This race that yearns for peace has been almost wiped out.
Damn Noxus!
He gritted his teeth, the anger burning in his heart, and he swore in his heart that he would find justice for the lizard people!
Jarvan IV led his men in constant pursuit, desperately trying to drive out the fleeing group.
At this moment, the 2,200 soldiers were as angry as he was.
They would make Noxus pay.
In this way, they chased them for an unknown number of miles. They killed this battle group of three to four thousand people down to two or three thousand, and in the end only one thousand were left.
If that’s not enough, these people should all die!
"Brother, you must be careful during this attack. Be careful again."
Jarvan IV was furious, and this voice flashed through his mind.
Suddenly he woke up.
He pulled up the reins suddenly, and the horse under him neighed and stopped like a sudden brake.
Looking up, I saw that it was getting close to evening and was about to turn completely dark.
He raised his head and shouted: "Everyone, stop!"
After giving the order, the soldiers behind him stopped one after another.
Jarvan IV took a few deep breaths, and the cool temperature in the forest made him more awake.
He looked ahead. Under the dim sky, the path the remnant army took to escape looked eerie and unsettling.
Of course, he will not be afraid of this.
However, he remembered that he didn't know how far he had chased, and he didn't even know in what direction he had strayed.
Although, it is a pity that there are still some enemy troops who have not been able to kill them all.
But his intuition told Jarvan IV that he could no longer pursue him.
The direction they were marching towards was Trevel, the territory of Noxus, who now had only 2,200 men under his command.
The rest of the military strength is not here, and the combat strength is somewhat scattered.
If Noxus were to set up an ambush in front of such a rash pursuit, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Your Highness, I think it's right not to pursue them. It's dark and the roads are dark. If the enemy sets up an ambush, we may not be able to react."
An adjutant came forward and gave the advice that he had just wanted to tell Jarvan IV.
"I know, let's go back to the lizard people for now." Jarvan IV regained his composure on the surface, but the anger in his heart was still burning.
He turned around and held the reins' hand a little harder.
Noxus, he will never swallow this breath easily!
Lead the team back in the direction of the lizard people.
For some reason, the uneasiness in Jarvan IV's heart gradually dissipated.
