The female leader reacted at this time, raised her hand to hold down the deputy's hand, and quickly glanced to both sides, as if to see if he had any accomplices or ambushes. Then there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, as if he was considering not to warn his subordinates. But she didn’t know whether it was Li Bochen’s calmness that infected her, or whether she felt that such a person could come here quietly so she shouldn’t act rashly. In the end, she just said: “Which battalion are you from?”
Li Bochen planned to smile before speaking, but he felt that this might be regarded as a provocation, so he still said in a slow and gentle tone: "I am not from any battalion. I am from Li Guo."
The two men in front of him looked at each other in disbelief. So before they spoke, Li Bochen slowly took off his helmet, letting them see his black hair, put it on again, and said bluntly: "Do you want to find a place to rest?"
The female leader frowned and suddenly drew her sword. These people all carry more than one weapon. She uses a round iron shield and an iron axe, and there is a waist knife at her waist. As soon as the waist knife came out of her body, she changed from sitting to sitting astride, and slashed diagonally towards Li Boxen's chest. Her deputy had a tacit understanding with her. He drew his sword almost at the same time, but instead of attacking, he jumped to the side to cut off Li Bochen's retreat.
Fortunately, he was prepared, and the female leader did not use the blade, but the back of the knife. He had his hands in front of him, but now he took a step back and pressed down with his wrist armor to block the knife.
There was a clang sound, and Li Boxen felt as if his whole body was shaken. When I saw them fighting Rakshasa just now, I found that these people were not inferior to Rakshasa one on one. I knew that they were powerful, but I didn't expect that the female leader was the best among them. Although not as good as Zhiyasi, she was comparable. Looking at himself, he is only slightly inferior.
But the female leader did not use her sword again. After being blocked, he lowered his knife and stared at Li Boxen and said, "You said you are a human being? Not many people can take this knife from me."
Li Bochen smiled: "Maybe I am one of the few."
At this time, the people in the camp were finally alerted, but instead of shouting, they silently picked up their weapons and gathered around. Li Boxen used his peripheral vision to notice that there were people jumping up the cliffs on both sides. It was time to look for hidden sentries or take on security duties.
The female leader stared at him without speaking, and Li Bochen also fell silent. After a while, a man walked up to the female leader and whispered a few words. Her expression softened slightly, but her look of confusion was even heavier. Li Boxen guessed that the man was reporting to her that the outposts had not been killed.
So he said, "I said I meant no harm."
The suspicion remained in the female leader's eyes, but she seemed to no longer want to worry about his identity. She frowned and said, "You are the one who blocked this door? We want to go in, how can you open it?"
Li Boxen said: "I still don't know who you are."
The female leader said: "Didn't you see us killing Rakshasa? Didn't you people kill Rakshasa too?"
Li Boxen said: "But I don't know if you can kill people too."
The female leader smiled contemptuously, raised her knife and put it against his breastplate: "Open the door."
Li Boxen said: "I asked you if you need a shelter. I never said I would open the door for you. I can provide you with wooden pillars and tents, and I can also tell you about things along the river in the south. But in exchange, I want to know Your origins.”
The female leader stared at him for a moment, wondering what she was thinking. Suddenly he said: "How did the high priest of the Sumeru people die?"
Li Boxen said: "As far as I know, not yet. He was just seriously injured."
The female leader and her deputy looked at each other, and the deputy said, "Have you ever seen a man named Li Bochen?"
"Um."
"What does he look like?"
Li Bochen thought for a while: "Man, wearing a knife and black armor, in his twenties."
The female leader withdrew her knife and told her deputy, "She didn't lie."
The other person nodded.
She immediately issued several orders, telling her subordinates to end their rest and prepare to break camp. Then he said to Li Bochen: "The reinforcements from the Rakshasa Royal Court are already on the way. The one we met is one of the many vanguards sent out. In a few days, this place will be full of Rakshasa soldiers. If you continue to hide in Just wait to rot in the bunker and die."
When going deep into enemy territory, the most valuable thing is information. Although the last words of the female leader were unpleasant, they provided crucial information and were actually a rare act of kindness. This surprised Li Bochen.
The style of these hybrids is different from both humans and Rakshasa. Regarding their origins, Li Boxen had a vague idea in his mind, but he just found it unbelievable.
Her subordinates acted quickly after receiving the order, but at this time the wind and snow increased again. Li Boxen saw that among the baggage they discarded, there were some longbows, arrows, medicinal herbs, iron ingots and leather materials for repairing weapons and armor, and even some bags of grain. The soldiers were only carrying two or three days' worth of supplies. Food to eat.
There were more than ten others who were seriously injured. They had been hastily bandaged and covered with large and thick leather sleeping bags when they had just set up camp to rest. At this time, they were preparing to leave, and no one seemed to want to take them with them.
The female leader saw his eyes and said to him: "I leave these to you."
Then he raised his chin to the wounded lying down and said, "If Rakshasa comes and you don't want to care about them, just give them a good time."
What she did stunned Li Bochen - he originally wanted to ask them to share some of the food and clothing they had at the cost of providing limited help. Unexpectedly, the other party not only refused to help, but also left all these things behind.
He couldn't help but said: "You just leave like this? How far can you go?"
The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger. If we go by the experience of the past few days, the sky and the earth will be completely white in less than half a day, making it impossible to see things three steps away. The wind can blow away an adult man without armor. Blow down. Even though she and these people were as physically strong as Rakshasa, there was no shelter from the wind and there were no huge camel beasts. Perhaps they would be killed by the cold and snow before they could meet their enemies.
The female leader narrowed her eyes at him and shouted in the strong wind: "What else? Do you want me to try to kill you and rob this bunker? You are the first people to come here in decades, try to escape! "
Li Bochen couldn't help but speak again, Xu Cheng said: "Be careful of fraud."
But he felt that if it was "fraudulent", this method would not be useful. He threatened to open the door first, and then left immediately after being refused, even leaving behind the baggage and the wounded. If people from the Six Kingdoms were cheating, they would have spent a lot of time negotiating terms first, instead of being like her - like a child who would run away from home in anger if he failed to get what he asked for. Isn't this strategy too simple?
So he shouted: "Don't leave!"
As soon as I opened my mouth, I immediately filled my mouth with Fengxue, almost choking and coughing. The female leader put on her helmet and looked at him. Li Bochen shouted: "Wounded! Plus ten people! Go in first!"
At this time, the words were almost inaudible. He used gestures again, and the female leader immediately nodded, pulled the deputy over and shouted the order.
Soon, each person carried or supported a seriously injured person and followed Li Bochen around the road from behind. It probably only took him less than a quarter of an hour to walk from the back to the east hillside, but now it took twice as long. As I walked, my body was blown lightly by the wind, as if I would be swept up into the sky at any moment. When Li Bochen put away the big stone at the entrance of the cave, these people were almost blown into the entrance of the cave by the strong wind.
While they were not paying attention, Li Bochen blocked the entrance of the cave. The female leader also stood up and lit the fire seal. Li Bochen said to her: "You guys wait here for a moment, I'll ask someone to vacate the room."
In fact, this bunker is quite large. It should have been built to the standard of being able to hide a thousand soldiers. Now there are neither officials nor luggage, and there are many vacant rooms. Li Boxen said this because he wanted to confirm their reaction. If she were her, since she had tricked her into the bunker, she should have controlled herself immediately.
But the female leader took a look in the half-collapsed passage by the light of the fire, and only said: "Okay."
Li Bochen walked to the end of the tunnel, found two sentries, and ordered them to call Ge Xuanbai. After he told what happened just now, Ge Xuanbai was also stunned and said: "There are still such people?"
But then he asked: "Could it be that he just has a weird temperament? Isn't Rakshasa's temperament also different?"
In fact, Li Boxen thought the same way. He now gradually realized that if he thought about the actions of these people, especially the female leader, for reasons such as "pride" and "uprightness", everything would make sense.
So an empty stone room near the back door was vacated. The air passages in this room have been cleared, and the fire passages are still blocked, but they are sufficient for temporary placement. Twenty people entered the house, but no one came out. As soon as the female leader gave the order, they immediately placed the wounded on the spot and lit the marching lanterns they carried with them.
Some people in the fort knew about this and they were not on duty, so they came to the corridor to watch the fun. At this time, Li Boxen was slowly relieved and decided to let in the dozens of people from outside tomorrow after discussing with the other three hundred generals. At this time, all the mixed-bloods in the room took off their helmets. When they saw their appearance, the people in the corridor first let out a low cry, and then fell silent.
It turns out that not only the female leader and her deputies are women, but the rest are also tall and strong women. Those injured should wear helmets to keep warm when they are outside, and their faces cannot be seen. In order to keep out the cold, the remaining people wore thick cotton linings inside their armors and heavy cloaks on the outside. It was difficult to tell the difference between men and women just from the outside.
Li Bochen was also stunned, thinking back to what he saw when he was outside... I was afraid that this was a women's army.
In this way, it would be better to explain their intention to leave after realizing that they were suspicious. Apart from reasons such as "pride" and "uprightness", I am still afraid of causing trouble.
The female leader didn't know whether she was used to this kind of reaction or didn't care at all. She said to him inside the door: "These are the only people you have? Are they all from Li country?"
Then he walked to the door and looked out openly, his eyes stopping briefly on everyone. The people she saw had been in the military for at least two or three years, and these mixed-race women were not bad-looking, so their eyes were originally very surprised and eager, and some were even joking in a low voice. But when the female leader's eyes met, few people could not lower their heads - because the way she looked at people was even weirder, as if she was looking at some strange animal, and while looking at it, she said in her heart, oh, this is how people are. Son's.
At this time, Li Bochen didn't know whether letting them in would bring benefits or disadvantages.
