Chapter 2466

Segona City, east side, five kilometers away.

This was a piece of wasteland with higher terrain. Scouts with good eyesight could already overlook the situation of Segona City from here.

This piece of wasteland had been trampled flat, the emerald green grass blades trampled down and covered in mud. Nearly 100,000 dwarf soldiers were stationed here. In other directions of Segona City, there were six other dwarf units, totaling over 250,000 soldiers.

The dwarf troops had half-besieged Segona City. The only gap left was in the direction of the Sand-Flame Kingdom. Grand Commander Neposo was no pushover. If the dwarves completely besieged Segona City, Neposo would definitely take the initiative to unite with Su Xiao to attack the dwarves in the rear encirclement from both sides.

The commander-in-chief commanding these 250,000 dwarf soldiers was Spring Steel-Sheep. This was an old acquaintance. The war at Rongsha Fortress had allowed Spring Steel-Sheep, Neposo, and Su Xiao to 'get to know' each other.

Spring Steel-Sheep stood on a high slope, overlooking Segona City in the distance. There was some worry in his eyes. There had been too many bad news recently. The only good news was that Leighton Red-Beard was also in Segona City. Even if the worst result appeared, Red-Beard could hold on for a while. Spring Steel-Sheep could only place his hope on this point.

Segona City could not be attacked right now. Not to mention the prisoners in the city, war always meant people dying, but if a certain person in the city died, the plan that the Kingdom of Peru had been preparing for many years would fall through.

It couldn't be attacked, and as for talking, the envoys sent out had no news, which made Spring Steel-Sheep feel secretly anxious.

"Send envoys into the city again. Before tonight, if Kukulin White Night does not agree to negotiate, mobilize 200,000 soldiers from other legions to attack Segona City."

Spring Steel-Sheep took one last look at Segona City. He was already prepared to accept the worst result. No matter what, this fortress city could not be lost; this was the 'Gate of Peru'.

Inside Segona City, groups of soldiers were patrolling the streets. The surrounding city walls were full of his own soldiers, and the temporarily built log city gate was closed.

On a large open space toward the front of the city, 20,000 soldiers surrounded the area. They were surrounding thousands of dwarf civilians with panic on their faces.

The encirclement of 20,000 soldiers had six exits, each strictly checked. His own soldiers, who had just finished a war, still had blood-red pupils, which caused the civilians to not even dare to scream, only daring to move forward one after another under the command of the soldiers.

In the crowd, a dwarf with a relatively thin physique and a very cleanly shaved beard was looking around. With the cover of the crowd, blood soaked into the palm of his naturally hanging right hand. The sharp edge of a weapon pierced his skin, and with a 'click', a stiletto stained with bloodstains protruded from his palm.

"I'll help you buy time."

The thin dwarf didn't know who he was talking to. The muscles all over his body bulged a bit, and he whispered: "Sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thin dwarf waved his arm. The body of the old man in front of him paused, and a blood line appeared on his neck.

Puchi, puchi, puchi...

The sharp weapon cut through flesh, and blood and severed limbs splashed everywhere. In an instant, all the other dwarves near this thin dwarf fell, including the old, weak, sick, and disabled.

Blood gathered toward the thin dwarf and was all absorbed into his body. The muscles on his body bulged a bit more, his height increased to about 1.9 meters, and the straight blade protruding from his palm also became much longer.

The civilians nearby with blood on their faces were stunned for a short while. One of the dwarf aunts wiped the still-warm blood on her face, and after seeing the bright red color on her hand, she screamed and began to rush out.

Seeing this, the soldiers blocking the outer perimeter hit the ground with their shields. With a boom of air waves, they pushed back the dwarf civilians who were fleeing in panic.

Sacrificing innocent civilians and sacrificing one's own life to protect someone—from this, one could see how important the person hiding among the civilians was to the Kingdom of Peru.

The chaos subsided in a very short time. After the thin dwarf killed more than a dozen soldiers, he was besieged to death.

"Those few over there, yes, that's you. Lie on the ground. You, you, and you, come with me to check them. Everyone else, be on alert."

A ten-man captain holding a blood-stained sharp sword walked toward a few civilians.

"May you, life be endless."

A voice came from among those few civilians. The ten-man captain who was moving forward felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down at his chest; he was actually... sprouting.

Large patches of tree branches grew wildly, forming a giant monster woven from branches. It rushed to the front of several civilians in big strides, grabbed one of them, and made a throwing posture.

Bang!

Air waves spread, and a figure was thrown out, flying toward the outside of the city in a parabolic arc.

"Don't even think about it."

A female thousand-man captain clasped her hands together, her eyes as red as two rubies.

The figure flying high in the sky slowed down, as if crashing into a thin film, and a difficult pulling sound appeared.

"Fenke!"

The female officer shouted. A short man rushed out from behind her. This was a hundred-man captain. He raised one arm and began to aim at the figure in mid-air.

Bang!

A slapping sound came from above, and that figure was like a meteorite falling at high speed. With a boom, it sank into the ground.

Armor collided, and the soldiers' combat boots embedded with metal plates stepped on the ground. This sound connected into a large piece, and countless soldiers rushed toward the impact point.

After seeing this scene, the female officer and the short man Fenke looked at each other, both with excitement in their eyes. This time they had made a great contribution.

A few minutes later, on the top floor of a three-story stone building, the female officer and Fenke both knelt on one knee, hanging their heads, not daring to look at the man sitting by the dining table.

"You two..."

"My lord, I am Wen Ayuer, the thousand-man captain you appointed, from 'Lagui Sand Castle'. He is Fenke, the hundred-man captain you appointed."

Wen Ayuer lowered her head. At her line of sight, she could at most see a hand wrapped in a black arm guard.

"Hmm, I remember you."

Upon hearing this sentence, Wen Ayuer's eyes lit up.

"You are that female soldier who marched while carrying her own tent."

"Thank you for remembering me, Commander."

"You are now a military guard captain."

"!"

Wen Ayuer's body trembled. She had thought she might be promoted, but she didn't expect to climb directly to the position of military guard captain. She had expected to be a division guard captain.

Thousand-man captain, division guard captain, military guard captain—although there was only a one-level difference, there was a huge difference between a division guard captain and a military guard captain. The division guard captain was the officer establishment of the local army, and the military guard captain was the officer establishment of the Sand City.

"Thank you, Commander."

"You two go down..."

Su Xiao stopped halfway through his sentence. There had been too many things recently, and he had forgotten that there was still a subordinate he hadn't promoted.

"Fenke, you will work under Quartermaster Caesar from now on."

"Thank you, my lord."

Fenke couldn't help it and grinned. Although he wasn't promoted, working under the Quartermaster was, to some extent, more wonderful than being promoted.

Wen Ayuer loved power, and Fenke loved money. Although Su Xiao didn't know these two very well, Deputy Commander Aus did, and that was enough.

Wen Ayuer and Fenke waited respectfully on the side. Su Xiao looked at a figure across the dining table.

"Nice to meet you, Peruvian Goddess. My subordinates are a bit rough, I hope you can forgive me."

Su Xiao placed a plate of camel meat in front of the Goddess. At this time, the Goddess was wearing a light black long garment, with a hood on her head. Under the hood, a pair of cyan-green eyes could be seen.

The Goddess slowly took off her hood, her long hair draped down. Her fair skin and beauty were very much in line with people's fantasies about a Goddess.

"I have foreseen your death."

The Goddess spoke softly, and there was even a trace of pity in her eyes when she looked at Su Xiao. But just at this moment, a figure rushed forward.

Slap!

After a loud slap, the Goddess was stunned. Wen Ayuer shook her hand, and looking at her gaze, it seemed she was prepared to slap her again.

Perhaps because she had never received such treatment, the Goddess stood there, stunned, as if she had been slapped silly.

"Peruvian, if you dare to be arrogant again, I'll slap you again."

Wen Ayuer pointed at the Goddess's nose. At this moment, the Goddess was really a bit scared. Sand-Flame women were so rude.

"Go down."

"Yes."

Wen Ayuer retreated to the side and kicked Fenke beside her, signaling the other party to go out. Fenke was very smart and walked quickly out of the stone building.

"I ask, you answer," Su Xiao said, his peripheral vision glancing at Wen Ayuer, and continued: "Wen Ayuer, this is the Peruvian Goddess, don't hit her face."

Wen Ayuer understood very well, and she immediately followed up by asking: "Then what about other parts?"

"As you like."

"As you command, Commander."

Wen Ayuer pulled over a chair, sat beside the Goddess, and even hugged the Goddess's shoulder, full of tomboy energy.
