King’s Kingdom
Chapter 156: cold nights warm spring
When Theodosius' grandfather led the army to the north to hunt dragons, he didn't use the giant crossbow, because the dragon could not fly in the sky due to the lack of magic elements, and could only be reduced to a reptile with wings.
The poor pair of wings, which are small compared to the heavy body, can only provide some forward momentum when running and reduce the burden of some weight.
Therefore, to deal with this monster, only a salvo of bow and crossbow is needed, and the knight's charge can be solved. Only the giant dragon that can soar in the sky must use a giant crossbow to deal with it.
The parts of the giant crossbow were carried on the carriage. In more than a month, the craftsmen built more than 30 giant crossbows, an average of one per day, and equipped each giant crossbow with twenty crossbow guns.
The marching speed of the Lan Yin army was not fast, and they could maintain a marching distance of about 20 kilometers a day on the stone road that had been cleared of snow, but when they walked for about seven or eight days, this superior road condition disappeared. .
The stone road can no longer be seen, replaced by a winding country road. They have already passed the Lanyin City and reached a place about 100 kilometers away from the Hengduan Mountains.
Without the stone road maintained by the local residents, the soldiers could only walk on the curved and snow-covered trails. This road condition caused great obstacles to the march. The smoothest day was only 15 kilometers. In other days, it is not bad to be able to walk 12 or 3 kilometers a day.
However, this was not the worst time for marching conditions.
The road conditions in the Hengduan Mountains are even more difficult. Almost every step on the winding and rugged mountain road consumes a lot of physical strength, and there are natural dangers that are difficult to overcome. If someone stops here, there will be no way for those who advance. Completely impossible.
This is also the reason why the Hengduan Mountains can isolate the world of monsters, elves, and humans. In fact, it is not the Hengduan Mountains that block the two sides, but it is because of the mountains that the two sides do not have frequent wars. This kind of landform is originally natural territorial dividing line.
When the Lan Yin army marched to a place less than 80 kilometers away from the Hengduan Mountains, the soldiers who had finished their march for a day began to set up camp.
Theodosius patrolled the camp in a normal coat and cotton coat, while Critidos took the steppe hussars under his command to explore the road ahead, hoping that tomorrow's march would be smoother.
He strolled in the barracks, accompanied by Vico, the captain of the guards, and the soldiers and officers who came and went saluted him respectfully.
Theodosius' return salute seemed a little absent-minded, and it was even a conditioned return salute later, because he was walking towards the tent where the elf mission was located.
"Is anyone here?" Theodosius walked to the door of a small tent. The tent was pitifully small and could only accommodate one person. All the elves except Connatis were male elves. , then there is no need to think too much about who lives here.
"It's me, Theodosius!" he said again, seeing that there was no movement inside.
This time, it was no longer silent inside, only a rustling sound was heard, and I remembered that the curtain at the entrance of the tent was opened from the inside, and Connatis appeared in front of Theodosius wearing a thicker uniform. .
This is the first time the two have been alone in private more than a month after the elf embassy arrived in the Lanyin Kingdom.
"I'm sorry... for making you wait so long..." Theodosius smiled with a guilty conscience. Most of the reason why he hadn't come to see her for so long was because of Critidos. tell his wife.
Kritidosi pursed her lips and did not speak, only a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"Queen Layne is gone, isn't she?" Connatis whispered.
Theodosius didn't know how to answer for a while. If he said yes, wouldn't he justify the fact that he had neglected her because of Critido?
But neither Connatis nor himself would believe it if he didn't say so.
"It's cold outside, if you don't mind, please come in..." Connatis's attitude was much more polite than when he first came to the Lanyin Kingdom two years ago, and he didn't have that lively feeling.
Moreover, Theodosius could clearly feel some alienation from her demeanor and tone, and after getting along with herself, her behavior was more restrained.
He took two steps forward, grabbed the elf girl's hands, and hugged her into his arms.
Connatis didn't say a word, but Theodosius could clearly feel that the girl who was only as tall as his chest was very stiff at this time.
"I'm sorry... I will take this responsibility, Critidos will accept your existence, and you will be one of my wives, so please forgive me for my neglect of you these days... …”
Theodosius picked her up and held her up in front of him.
Connatis, who had his feet in the ground, was a little uneasy, his small feet were slightly circled, his arms were tightly clamped, and there was innocence and blankness in his eyes when he looked at Theodosius.
Theodosius chuckled, took her to him, and kissed her gently.
At this time, the height of Connatis and Theodosius had formed a huge gap. After two years of growth, Theodosius was now 1.95 meters tall.
Connatis's height is still about 1.72 meters, which is not considered tall among elves~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and her body is thin as a whole. There are many ways to fight. In addition to some male elves who are powerful and choose melee combat, female elves and some male elves who are not strong enough will choose to fight with elf bows.
Because of racial talent, every elves can draw bows and arrows, and there is no difference in power, so the level of combat effectiveness depends on shooting skills.
Connatis is this kind of elf, completely different from the heroine of the female middle school with an arm circumference of thirty-five centimeters like Critidos.
When she woke up from the general torment of the storm, her face was full of tears. Although the elf's body was not weak, it was still unbearable under this torment.
"I thought... I am left with only you... My race no longer recognizes me, and my family treats me coldly..." Connatis said the more and more aggrieved, and finally cried out loudly, as if I want to vent all the grievances I have suffered in the past two years.
Theodosius hugged her and comforted her suicide. She and he seldom had such tenderness, and Critidos did not need tenderness from him.
Without the knowledge of the two of them, Critidos endured the bone-chilling cold in the dark night, standing outside the extremely warm spring tent. Her armor had not been removed. Back to camp.
Her hands were red from freezing, and several blue veins appeared on the back of her hands. She clenched her fists tightly, put her hands on the curtain, raised and lowered them, and so on several times.
In the end, the curtain that isolated the warm spring and the cold winter was still not lifted.
