Chapter 624 Forced Growth
Under the sun, the golden ornaments shone brightly on the body of the king of the prairie, exuding the dignity that the king should have.
And that wild wolf skin made the king even more dignified.
Riding on the horse, the prairie king seemed to turn his head casually.
Roar!
An abrupt wolf howl sounded in Qin Ran's ears.
The prairie king who was supposed to have a human appearance suddenly turned into a giant wolf at this time, a giant white wolf that was bigger than a horse and stronger than a cow.
The giant white wolf rushed towards Qin Ran with one mouth open.
Shocking reminders are constantly appearing from the retina.
Although it was a phantom caused by momentum, but with Qin Ran's mind connected, Huo Ya, who was in charge of surveillance on the cliff and shared his vision with Qin Ran, still flapped his wings in panic, as if he had encountered some terrible natural enemy.
Most of the defenders in the Thunder Fortress seemed to be drunk, twisting their bodies, staggering and falling to the ground.
The Crows and Snakes were also affected, but they were much stronger than ordinary soldiers, and they returned to normal after a slight sway.
But judging from the shock on the faces of many people, it was obvious that they were also frightened.
In particular, Maxim, Celty and other members of the Crow faction who had met the prairie king all looked at each other in blank dismay.
They tried their best to overestimate the power of the prairie king, but at this moment, they still underestimated a lot.
Some people even secretly exchanged glances.
Obviously, other ideas came up.
Although Marie, who was immediately blocked by Qin Ran, was not affected by this aura, the surrounding situation let the girl know how terrible the king was.
There is no need to fight, just breath is needed to defeat one's own side.
This is far beyond the girl's imagination.
"2567..."
The girl subconsciously wanted to dissuade Qin Ran.
But Qin Ran shook his head.
With the main task as a constraint, he has no room to retreat after triggering a special event.
He put his hand on top of the girl's head, but looked at the surrounding Snakes and Crows.
These 'allies' who have started to retreat before they really make a move.
Perikna made eye contact with Qin Ran without showing any weakness, but a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. The leader of the Snake Sect looked at what Qin Ran planned to do.
After meeting Qin Ran's gaze, Maxim lowered his head without hesitation. Facing the power of the king of the grassland, the ambition of the crow faction recorder immediately restrained.
Kieran had no more thoughts about Perikna's ridicule.
The contract he signed with the other party contained a hint of coercion. At this time, it was really normal for the other party to read his jokes.
But Maxim disappointed Qin Ran a bit.
It's not scary to be ambitious.
The terrible thing is that there is ambition but no corresponding ability and tolerance.
At this time, Qin Ran finally understood why the Crow School fell into such a long-term split.
From Maxim, it can be seen who the remaining teachers of the Yapai are.
But if it is a little tougher, a new 'First Crow' will probably appear in the Crow School long ago.
A crow faction of a group of 'lobbyists'.
Thinking of Mary's previous jokes, Qin Ran somehow felt that there was a bit of truth.
The Crow School is no longer the king of the sky who burns everything with flames in his hands as recorded in "Theory of Schools". With the disappearance of the 'First Crow', the Crow School at this moment is a bald crow. Other than two rattles, it had no effect.
"If you want to leave, please leave as soon as possible!"
"In a while, a life-and-death war will break out here!"
Qin Ran spoke slowly.
As soon as the voice fell, most of the Crows left in a hurry without saying hello at all, no matter when they arrived or when they left.
For those who left, Qin Ran did not hold back anything.
Qin Ran knew very well that it would be better to let these fearful guys stay behind, so as to avoid accidents after the real war started.
However, what surprised Qin Ran was that Maxim, who didn't even dare to look at him before, stayed behind with Celty and a few members of the Crow faction.
"I have no choice...Although I'm scared to death, I put all my money on you—now I can only fight!"
The remaining Crows were obviously headed by Maxim. When the recorder faced Qin Ran's gaze again, he didn't dodge, the rest was just a wry smile.
"I'll try not to disappoint you."
Qin Ran responded to the other party like this, and then looked at Perikna.
"If you are willing to terminate the contract, I will take my people and leave immediately!"
The leader of the Snake faction is outspoken.
"Thank you for your stay!"
Qin Ran didn't argue at all, and directly bent down to express his gratitude.
Facing the pretending Qin Ran, Perikna snorted coldly.
"Although the number of people has decreased a lot, it is more than I imagined... So, everyone's task will be much easier!"
Qin Ran walked up to everyone, his voice was neither high nor low, but it happened to be heard by the group of people around him.
"Everyone of the Snake faction, I need you to play the assassination that you are best at. The target person will be informed by all of you from the Crow faction."
There is no exciting pre-war mobilization, just assigning tasks.
"What about your Excellency?"
Perikna probed.
Qin Ran looked at this collaborator with ulterior motives, and couldn't help but smile. He pointed to the direction where the breath came from before, and said, "King to King, do you want to come?"
"snort!"
There was another cold snort, and Perikna completely ignored Qin Ran.
A Snake Sect oath and a contract, although breaking it would be very serious, almost fatal, but it is better than going directly to die.
The majesty shown by the prairie king made the leader of the Snake faction completely lose the idea of fighting against him.
Perikna looked at Qin Ran, and couldn't help showing pity.
Because, in the view of the leader of the Snake Sect, Qin Ran was simply going to die.
And the reason for sending him to death?
Perikna looked at Mary.
She really didn't realize where this little girl, who hadn't really developed yet, got so much charm.
Mary felt Perikna's gaze.
But the girl didn't pay attention to him at all, her eyes were completely on Qin Ran.
"We can leave!"
the girl said softly.
The voice is very low, very low.
However, it cannot escape the ears of those around.
Those who stay are not stupid, they are very worried that they will become the "abandoned sons" of the broken queen.
"If you leave, where will you go?"
"The ambition of the grassland king is not just to return to the grassland after looting, what he wants is the whole of Warren, and even more territory...As the Warren royal family, no matter where you flee, you will have a tendency The eager mercenaries and bounty hunters are here to ask for your head, in exchange for the bounty from the prairie king!"
Qin Ran raised his hand to touch the girl's head again.
This has almost become his new habit recently.
"2567 You can protect me!"
The girl said instinctively.
"Um!"
"However, I'm used to being more active - waiting for danger to come is far worse than killing danger in the cradle!"
Qin Ran nodded, not giving Qin Ran a chance to speak, and waved to Fink and Snake who were wearing thick and tight cloaks in the distance.
"grown ups!"
Under the influence of [Mesli's Ring], the traitors of the Snake Sect respectfully bowed to Qin Ran.
"You protect Mary and wait for my return!"
After finishing speaking, Qin Ran stepped back, and his whole body merged into the shadow.
Mary raised her hand, trying to grab Qin Ran.
But what the fingertips slid across was air.
"2567!"
Mary whispered.
Feeling lost, the girl was at a loss. She raised her head and looked at the figures protecting her around, through these people.
She saw Perikna, who looked like she was watching a show, with her arms crossed and her chest in front of her.
She saw Maxim with a pale face.
All I saw were hopeless expressions.
No care, no smile, no support.
What you have is a group of perfunctory walking dead.
No!
no!
Doing so can't share the burden for 2567, but it will become his burden!
I……
I……
I will lose 2567!
After such thoughts appeared in the bottom of Mary's heart, fear instantly permeated the girl's heart like a plague, as if the sense of despair at the moment of losing her mother was about to envelope the girl again.
I absolutely don't want to do this!
I lost my mother!
I don't want to lose 2567 again!
The girl yelled in her heart, facing her cowardice and evasion.
Her roar made her choose to face up to the difficulties in front of her.
The terrifying conjecture that she would lose Qin Ran inspired her courage.
Almost compulsively, Mary calmed herself down.
Then, she recalled the plan Kieran made.
Soon, the sense of loss disappeared from the girl's face, leaving only firmness.
Perikna, who had been staring at the girl, was taken aback for a moment.
She obviously didn't expect that the girl would adjust so quickly.
The leader of the Snake Sect, and even Mary herself didn't find out.
The [Sword of Thorns] that Mary had been carrying all the time trembled slightly without being manipulated.
Just for a moment.
The next moment, it returned to its original state.
There doesn't seem to be anything special about it.
But it's like a seed buried in fertile soil.
As long as enough time, it will become a towering tree!
