Chapter 670: Chapter 485, Jack-o’-lantern (Seeking recommendation votes…) _2
Woosh!
The swing of a blade split the air, causing a massive gust and rustling of vegetation.
Despite his first attack being ineffective, the dwarf charged again.
Dong Jiayue seemed to not want to entangle with him, turned and dashed towards the area filled with skeletons.
Seeing his opponent fleeing in fear, the dwarf sped up.
“Die, you dog!”
The dwarf captain roared loudly, his hand already charged up, and swung his blade towards the woman’s back.
Dong Jiayue tilted her head slightly, looking at the screaming enemy.
In her mind, she was calculating the distance between them.
Now is the time!
A cold gleam shone in her eyes.
The long spear in her hand swirled around her waist gathering strength, revolving once, and with a whoosh! the gust it created seemed to precede its movement.
Squelch!!
The sound of the spear puncturing flesh echoed as it relentlessly pierced through the mouth of the dwarf captain.
The man seemed to be suspended on the tip of the spear.
Blood flowed down the shaft of the spear.
Ughhh—!
The dwarf captain tried to say something, but he was already unable to make a sound.
The high raised broadsword in his hand slowly fell to the ground, and his breath slowly faded away.
“Retreat! Follow me, charge out quickly, follow me and retreat!”
The death of the dwarf captain dissipated the fighting spirits of the remaining dwarves.
They desperately rushed outward.
Each giant deer leaped high, using their head to knock over the skeletons in front, trying to break out directly.
But there were too many undead, they wouldn’t let them flee so easily.
They were firmly entangled.
Then the skeletons dragged them from the deer back and hacked them to death.
“Alright, tie these unicorns by their legs, don’t kill them, I need to do some research when I get back.” Dong Jiayue swung her long spear and ordered the skeletons.
The skeleton soldiers immediately tackled the giant deer, then roughly bound their four hooves with ropes.
While the skeletons were binding the deer,
Dong Jiayue approached the humans who had been watching the fight.
Among them, a woman who looked quite miserable was obviously a transmigrator.
“Alright, you don’t have to be nervous. I’m Dong Jiayue. How should I address you, beautiful lady?” Dong Jiayue asked directly.
Deng Bin had always kept her hair short, and it was still short now.
Her bare arms were full of tattoos.
It had been a while since someone had called her ‘beautiful lady’.
“Cough! My name is Deng Bin, thank you, Miss Dong for saving us.” Deng Bin squeezed out a smile.
Dong Jiayue took a look at the condition of everyone.
She spoke softly: “What’s next? If you want to return to your territory, I can escort you some of the way.”
Deng Bin’s eyes were full of despondency, “I have lost my territory, and I can’t go back now. If possible, can we rest in your place for a while? I have transferred all my resources to my friend, we won’t be freeloading.”
“Hey! That’s not a problem at all, if you have no place to go, come to my place first. Also, tell me about the dwarfs, I’ve been here for quite some time, but this is the first time I encounter natives.” Dong Jiayue cheerfully agreed.
“Thank you, Miss Dong.”
At this moment, Dong Jiayue’s human soldiers, pushing carts full of goods, came over.
Dong Jiayue ordered: “Take the dwarves’ equipment and these giant deer back, bury the bodies nearby and try to cover up the traces as much as possible.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Everyone started to move, following the order to handle the bodies.
Soon, the scene was cleaned up.
Everyone started to return to the territory.
…
On the official road to Silver Wing City.
Inside the carriage.
The maid was staring at the chessboard on the table, thinking about her next move in order to win the game.
Across from her, Rebecca was sitting at the table, leaning on the heavily laden chest placed on the table, playing with a jade pendant in her hand.
As her fingertips rubbed the pendant, she could clearly feel the pattern carved on it.
She muttered quietly, “Little pervert, you really think I’m easy to bully…”.
Although she spoke softly, it was quite clear inside the carriage.
The maid immediately looked up, “Ma’am, what did you say? What ghost?”
Rebecca kept her face unchanged and said: “I said, how long are you going to stare.”
“Oh, alright.” After another glance, the maid finally made a move.
Once the maid made her move, a smile appeared on Rebecca’s face.
Then her white finger picked a white piece and gently placed it on the board.
The maid’s eyes widened instantaneously.
“One, two, three…five, Ah! I thoroughly checked, how is this possible.” The maid started despairing.
This game of Five in a Row was recently taught to Anjia and Lorrey by Fang Hao in order to prevent them from running around.
They found dark and light pebbles by the river, drew a grid on the ground, and the game was ready to play.
And, the rules were straightforward.
Be it horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, whoever got five in a row first was the winner.
The two quickly learned and got very addicted to this game.
However, what Fang Hao didn’t expect was this seemingly trivial game suddenly became immensely popular.
Not only Anjia and Lorrey played, even soldiers and mercenaries would have a match in their spare time.
Especially when camping.
Originally, when camping, each area would be filled with noise, as chaotic as a marketplace.
But now, it was full of people playing and watching the game.
It was eerily quiet.
Now even Rebecca started playing it.
Sitting in the carriage, it was indeed boring. It was the perfect time-killing game.
Looking at the incredulous, seemingly unable to accept her loss but also too afraid to be angry maid,
Rebecca smiled softly, “With your skill level, you can only match Anjia.”
The maid had been serving Rebecca for many years, she was a trusted confidante.
She pursed her lips, murmured quietly, “Yes, yes, yes, you are the best, ma’am. Only Lord Fang can make you serious.”
