Chapter 695: Whispering
Dismissal of prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield. Bai Xiaowen let the knights under Cecilia rest, they fought a high-intensity battle for days, their spirits were already tired, this time the charge down the mountain was all based on one breath, now that the battle is over, this breath is released, and the feeling of exhaustion suddenly comes more violently.
Cecilia's order was given, and the knights finally breathed a sigh of relief, and did not disarm, but simply lay down on the spot in piles of three or five.
It didn't take long for Qiao Rui and Han Xu to lead the reinforcement knights of White Rock City to Cold Spring Valley. However, there is no longer a need for them to go to war.
The reason why Bai Xiaowen sent this group of knights for reinforcement was to keep a reserve team, just in case. He wasn't sure what the combat strength of the Iron Thorn Army that surrounded Cecilia was, if it was strong enough to be beyond expectations, these thirty elite knights, together with Qiao Rui and Han Xu, could also influence the battle situation as a new force when the battle situation was scorching.
Of course, the reserves didn't work, in fact, at best.
During the long night, Bai Xiaowen and Cecilia talked softly, telling each other what had happened in the months since they separated.
Li Shuyi avoided it very graciously and gave the two of them space to be alone. However, after going around in a circle, Bai Xiaowen's spiritual sense sensed Li Shuyi's location again, and secretly went around a mountain col to hide and eavesdrop.
Bai Xiaowen wanted to laugh a little, but he didn't dare to expose it. Anyway, Cecilia was not a spiritual leader, and she couldn't detect Li Shuyi's location, so she went.
"Dior, I thought I would never see you again. Cecilia held Bai Xiaowen's face, and her lips rained down.
Bai Xiaowen was moved in his heart, but he felt a little embarrassed, he knew that Li Shuyi was eavesdropping......
This white rose of the Northland is as cold as an iceberg on the outside, but it is as hot as a volcano for her lover. She had already guessed the relationship between Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, but she just didn't want to find out.
"Don't worry, Cecilia, even if you die, I have a way to revive you. Bai Xiaowen said.
Cecilia was stunned: "Rescue? โ
Bai Xiaowen smiled and took out the Resurrection Divine Water: "This is the item I got from winning a major championship in my hometown...... It's a bit complicated to say, but you can understand it as a gift from the gods. This thing can give you a second life. โ
Cecilia looked at the slightly glowing liquid, she was keenly aware of the surging vitality contained in it, and her eyes widened: "This...... Can it really be brought back to life? It's amazing. โ
Cecilia believed it almost immediately, and she had unreserved trust in what Bai Xiaowen said.
"Dior, this kind of treasure, you better keep it for yourself. As you navigate the planes, you will often encounter danger. You need it more than I do. Cecilia said.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "This bottle of divine water is ineffective for people like me and Charlotte, and can only be used on you." โ
Cecilia was a little puzzled, but nodded in agreement. She said leisurely: "I really don't know what your hometown is like, and you actually use this precious item as a reward for the competition." โ
"This thing is also a rare thing in my hometown, and it is not common," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "I can get it, but it's actually luck." โ
Afterwards, Bai Xiaowen gave a general account of what he had seen and heard in various dimensional worlds, and Cecilia's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Travel in different dimensions and adventure in various dimensional worlds. It's a life like this," Cecilia sighed, "and I really want to go on an adventure with you." โ
Bai Xiaowen's heart moved: "It's not impossible. โ
"Do you have a way?" Cecilia's eyes lit up.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and thought for 0.1 seconds, and then said, "There is a way, but ...... You'd better weigh this approach or not. โ
As he spoke, Bai Xiaowen took out the S+-level prop "Strong Follower Contract".
"This is a follower contract, after you sign it, you will become my follower, and from now on you can follow me to the major planes of the spirit world. โ
Bai Xiaowen said seriously, "However, there is one thing you need to pay attention to. The Follower Pact is not harsh, but there is one thing that is fundamental...... That is, after the contract is signed, the life and death of the follower is in the hands of the owner of the contract. โ
Cecilia was a little surprised, and there was hesitation in her beautiful eyes: "This is ...... Nothing. For your sake, even if I die, I will not complain. But this contract itself is a master-servant contract...... After signing the contract, I will be your servant. Even though it was only a nominal master-servant, it was still difficult for me to accept. โ
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "This is the only way you can explore with me." Either way, I will respect your ideas. โ
Cecilia thought for a moment and said, "Actually, White Rock City has everything I have, my relatives, friends, and subordinates are there. Although I would love to see you often, I am also a little reluctant to leave the White Stone Collar. โ
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "That's the truth. He didn't intend to make Cecilia a follower, and the reason why he took out the contract was just that Cecilia asked about it, and Bai Xiaowen gave this way.
The two talked, and in the end, Cecilia still felt tired and fell asleep on Bai Xiaowen's shoulder.
Bai Xiaowen turned his head with difficulty and glanced at Li Shuyi.
Li Shuyi: "(*ยทยท) ใฒ......โ
Bai Xiaowen: "โญโฎโญโฎ"
By the time the sun had risen, Cecilia's Hundred Knights had finished resting. Bai Xiaowen reorganized the two teams of knights and secretly set the goal of the march: Black Rock City!
......
Ten kilometers outside Black Rock City, at the foot of a dirt mountain, a dense forest.
Hidden in the forest was an infantry corps, a total of a hundred men. This was the shield-wielding infantry phalanx sent by Bai Xiaowen in advance, and they hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Black Rock City, the target place, at noon on the second day of departure.
Captain Phil was a careful man, and he rode around and finally settled on this hidden terrain so that the enemy would not find out, so as not to disrupt the lord's plan.
While camping in the woods to rest, Phil looked to the southeast where the Cold Spring Valley was located, and fell into a state of sorrow.
"I don't know how Cecilia is doing...... Captain Phil, what do you say?"
Phil, who was sitting under a coniferous tree, had just flashed this sentence in his mind, but he heard someone next to him say it at the same time! He was almost startled, but when he looked up, he saw a strong man. He recognized this man as the captain of the shield infantry hundreds, named Anton, who was a miner.
Anton was surprised by Phil's reaction: "Did I say something wrong? โ
"No, it's nothing," Phil sighed and answered Anton's question, "the time now...... The battle in Cold Spring Valley should have started a long time ago, but I don't know how the battle will turn out. I wish the Lord could save Cecilia. โ
"Absolutely. The lord is a man who is good at miracles, and I have seen with my own eyes that many times he has turned the 'impossible' into reality. Anton said.
Phil forced a smile. The number of soldiers in White Rock City is too small compared to the army of thousands of people of the Iron Thorn Family, and whether they can rescue Cecilia is really unknown.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and an infantry company rushed over: "Captain Phil! Captain Anton, signal ...... The signal is coming!"
