Because he was in front of the girl, Wang Xiaole resisted the urge to curse and quickly sang a few lines at the fastest pace of his life:
"The great Wind God..."
At the moment the singing ended, the two of them were only ten meters above the ground, a distance that could be fallen in just one or two seconds.
After experiencing the feeling of a heartbeat, a gust of wind rose from beneath their feet, relieving the force of the fall and helping them land safely.
The people still suspended in the air were stunned. They had not expected that Wang, the demon, would not even want his own hideout.
Among the astonished crowd, the empress was the first to react. With a thundering shout, she informed everyone around her and the troops waiting on the ground:
"Anyone who performs well in this pursuit, be it soldier or officer, will have their salary doubled in the second half of the year!"
The soldiers, who were yawning, heard that their future treatment could improve, and their eyes turned red one by one.
Everyone thought that there were benefits to living longer. Even His Majesty voluntarily giving a raise, this rare occurrence in a hundred years, could be encountered.
Enough said, the enthusiasm of the entire army was immediately mobilized, and the clear voices of women rang out one after another:
"Sisters, what are you waiting for? Follow me!"
"My wallet - no, my legs are already itching for action!"
The bustling continued, and for many people tonight, it was still a long sleepless night.
Not long after the rousing mobilization order was issued, the sky, shrouded in darkness, took on a deep hue.
The flying cavalry, started their action, were just a part of the aerial forces.
Amidst the sound of flapping wings, pure white griffins appeared out of thin air one by one;
On the back of the griffins, knights sat steadily, moving towards the ground under the impetus of their steeds, achieving "all-encompassing coverage" from high to low.
The figures active on the rooftops were not thieves working hard but magicians coming from the palace.
After obtaining the empress's permission, these girls who had lived in the palace all year round could finally experience the thrill of being a thief.
Now, on the roofs of every building, there stood a magician;
Because the main streets in the capital were mainly distributed on both sides of the road;
This led to Wang Xiaole, who was running on the ground, feeling as if he was boldly entering a women's dormitory under the watchful gaze of women on both sides;
Naturally, the opposite sex who were ordered to rescue Wang Xiaole were guaranteed to outnumber the people in the women's dormitory!
According to Isabella's meticulous thinking, there couldn't possibly be no obstacles on the ground.
The warhorses neighed, and the cavalry units attacked in a group from one side of the main street, with so many numbers that it made those with trypophobia uncomfortable.
The sound of armor clanking, the infantry units in armor surged forward from the other side compared to the cavalry.
At this point, Wang Xiaole could only be glad:
Fortunately, this was not a country populated by men, otherwise, instead of thinking about approaching him, it would be a group of muscle men wearing heavy armor, and he would surely feel a chill.
It should be understood that:
This disciple truly cared about his master; otherwise, the magnificent army that had emerged would not gradually shrink the area just for him and Lucia's activities.
"Hmm hmm hmm, there are so many obstacles! Darling, can I unleash a fire to turn those people into ashes?"
"Absolutely not!"
Wang Xiaole is not crazy yet. Dibiles is the place where he plans to live for a long time, which is equivalent to his own home. How could any normal person do something as stupid as setting fire in their own home? It's better to keep running.
In fact, Wang Xiaole himself has no reason to escape. It's just that he can't abandon Lucia on the street, so he can only run with the girl and protect each other. At present, the road in front of these fugitives is basically a dead end. After all, the capital is now surrounded by flying army and rooftop magicians ready to unleash their magic, and the main roads of the streets are tightly sealed off.
So, in this critical moment, Wang Xiaole once again showed his cunning. Can't pass through front, back, left, right, and even the sky? Then the boy has a way to get out of trouble. The method that Wang Xiaole thought of is very clever; he simply held Lucia's hand and led her into the dark alley, which is called "taking a diagonal route"!
After all, the roads in the capital city are well-connected; even if the soldiers can block all the main intersections, as long as Wang Xiaole chooses remote places to walk, he can shake off all the pursuers by taking seven or eight turns before being completely surrounded. This is also a flaw in Isabella's plan. The Queen only thought that the master was from out of town and couldn't be so familiar with the situation inside the capital city, which is why she placed her forces primarily along the main roads. How could Isabella know that, due to Freya's memories, Wang Xiaole's knowledge of the roads inside the capital city surpasses even the local residents who have lived there for generations.
It is too late to change the encirclement. Isabella can only order the soldiers to catch up and make sure the master gets rid of the evil demon Wang's hostage. While the army is devoting efforts to the salary treatment of the next half year, Wang Xiaole, on the other hand, relies on the acceleration of the wind magic, and with Lucia, runs all the way, eventually leaving the capital city without realizing it. As mentioned earlier, Dibiles is called a "city-state". The whole country consists only of the capital city, and there is no second city besides it. In other words, as Wang Xiaole originally planned to hold Lucia and temporarily hide from the trouble, he realized after stopping and looking around, "Wait, how did I run out of the country?"
If Wang Xiaole at this time is somewhat frustrated, Lucia is very excited. They have successfully eloped (at least half successfully)! In her mind, she is already envisioning the happy life after this, but obviously, the other person not only doesn't think so, but also keeps murmuring: "No, this won't work. I have to go back, I must go back!"
Wang Xiaole's decision is to stay outside the border for one night, and then bring Lucia back when the time is right. He absolutely cannot run around further. Faced with the enthusiastic "elopee", Wang Xiaole still needs to come up with a convincing reason: "Xia, we have left the country, we can't just keep running around, otherwise we might easily end up in the territory of the orcs!" "Orcs?" "Don't you know, Xia? Along the border of Dibiles, besides being close to the Inran Empire, there is another country adjacent to it called Wang, established by the orcs."
Orcs are one of the six major races on the continent, ranking third in overall strength. Although there have been conflicts between orcs and human nations in history, those were mainly things of the past century. In this era, as long as neither race provokes each other, major wars are unlikely to break out.
The main reason for the absence of large-scale conflicts is that the aesthetic views of non-human races have quietly undergone some changes in recent years. If we have to give an explanation, it would be "moe-style dominance." In the past, male orcs in the tribes only had affection for females of the same race, such as rabbit orcs, wolf orcs, and so on. But now, things are completely different. The moe aesthetic view seems to have spread throughout the entire continent, and orcs cannot avoid being influenced by it.
According to the information in Wang Xiaole's mind, more than seventy percent of orc males now only find human females appealing, leading to occasional large-scale confessions or proposals. Once this phenomenon becomes widespread, it can to some extent prevent wars from breaking out.
Imagine this: before an orc tribe prepares to wage war against a human nation, wouldn't the war chief have to go home and ask his human wife for permission? Otherwise, if a war breaks out, the following scene may easily occur: one day, in the midst of the war, the war chief's wife bursts into the main tent and scolds him publicly, saying, "What the heck are you doing?" "No, honey, watch your language, don't insult people, and don't even mention my sister." "I am saying 'what the heck are you doing?' Do you know that my sister, who is also your sister-in-law (the war chief's sworn sister), is in the country that is being attacked?"
See, isn't this scene awkward? That's why it is extremely important for the orc chief to go home and gather information. However, once the war chief asks his wife, he might be overwhelmed with a list of relatives: "This country is off-limits because my eldest aunt lives there; you can't touch that other country either because my thirteenth sister resides there..."
Because of all these reasons, war chiefs nowadays tend to avoid going to war with human nations. Otherwise, if any accidental injuries occur during the war, they will have to kneel down and apologize when they return home.
However, the current situation of not going to war can only be established on the premise that humans do not actively stir up trouble. Otherwise, if any prestigious orc discovers that foreigners have entered their territory without permission, it could be a reason for declaring war on the spot.
It is precisely because Wang Xiaole knows the local sentiments of the orcs that he does not want to cross the border voluntarily. But the teenager is unaware: in fact, he has already crossed!
Presently, where Wang Xiaole and Lucia are staying is just over half a meter beyond human territory. Although there are no signs of a border nearby, it does not prevent orc soldiers from patrolling in the vicinity.
The next moment, a conversation began: "Hey, beautiful, do you have a moment?"
It was the first time in many years that Wang Xiaole encountered a situation where someone approached him. The person had just greeted him and immediately strode over without any courtesy.
The person who approached had a sturdy physique, muscles on his abdomen rippling, but there was a leopard head pattern on his neck.
An orc? Wang Xiaole immediately thought of the answer: "Was it you who just spoke to me?"
"Judging from the tone of your voice, can you think I'm someone else?" The leopard-headed orc looked down and glanced at Wang Xiaole with an unfriendly gaze, making Wang Xiaole wonder if spring had arrived.
"Miss, it's dangerous to stay alone near the border. How about me being your 'guardian of flowers' this time?"
The leopard-headed orc was winking at this side.
Due to the completely feminized beautiful cheeks, Wang Xiaolei has now been entangled by the foreigners, and the other party is infatuated with the "girl" in front of him.
"Sorry, you're not my type!"
