after being forced to become a heartthrob

"Master Priest, please put on your priest's robe when you come out." Ares said.

Wen Rao thought that Ares was asking about his etiquette when he said that he didn't wear the priest's robe, and his face turned cold, "I just finished taking a shower, and I forgot to wear it when I came out, can't I?"

Ares coughed, and the eyes of the soldiers around him moved in unison.

Wen Rao looked at them suspiciously—is it true that in the army, priests must keep their clothes decent at all times?

"This is just a kind reminder." Ares lamented the priest's slowness in some aspects.

Gentle and displeased, he agreed, "I will remember."

Ares nodded, and discussed the interrogation with the soldiers beside him. He just felt that Wen Rao, who had been targeted by him, was not in the mood to watch the interrogation, so he turned his head and went back to the tent.

……

The next day, Wen Rao wrapped himself tightly in the black priest robe, and Ares and the others had interrogated some information from the group of captured people.For example, they are indeed Vanesse's troops, the leader of Vanessa. I heard that Nurian sent an army over, and wanted to launch a surprise attack to cause some obstacles to them while they were resting. I didn't expect Nurian to send this time. The soldiers in the army were elite troops, and they were all defeated without success.

Ares guessed that Vanne's soldiers should still be in Sanforth at this time. After all, it is already a good autumn, and Sanforth, which is famous for its abundance, should be preparing to pay tribute to Nurian's grain and treasure.Vanner launched a surprise attack, and when he robbed treasures and women, he should also be struggling to rob them of food.

This guess made the marching troops a lot faster, and Gentle, who was sitting leisurely on the back of a white elephant, had to get in a cart dragged by a war elephant and rush to Sanfors at top speed.

Because the chariots are limited, there will be soldiers taking turns resting in the chariot, and it is the same in the chariot that Wen Rao was sitting in. Those soldiers were concerned about his identity at first, and they sat upright after getting in the chariot. Wen Rao deliberately made friends with them and raised a few topics Afterwards, these soldiers began to chat with him enthusiastically.Wen Rao learned a lot of useful news from them. For example, the king ordered them to bring back all the treasures that Sanforth paid tribute this year when they drove away Vane.As a reward for helping them expel foreign enemies, many additional treaties were added to the initially agreed contract.

Wen Rao originally lamented that the king was sincere to the princess and sent the elite troops from Nurian to help Sanfus, but after hearing what these soldiers said, he still had to sigh that it makes sense for the princess to miss him— With such a rogue and old husband, he is very attractive as a young, handsome priest with considerable strength.

Just when Wen Rao was about to dig out more information from these upright soldiers, the elephant cart stopped beside the chariot he was sitting on at some point.

Ares lifted the curtain of the small jewels used to decorate the chariot, and stretched out his hand to Wen Rao, "My lord, I really feel sorry for you for letting you sit on the chariot."

The soldier who was still talking to Wen Rao just now, after hearing Ares' voice, returned to the sitting upright bathing at the beginning.

Wen Rao thought that the other party had heard what he had just inquired about, and now he deliberately asked him to change cars and stare at him, "I'm not wronged, I feel very honored to be with these Nurian warriors."

Ares was the only one in the spacious elephant chariot. Compared with the simple chariot, the interior of his elephant chariot looked very gorgeous.

"However, sitting here will affect them." Ares looked at the gentleness sitting among a group of soldiers—couldn't he have noticed that since he got on this chariot, this Are there the most soldiers resting in the chariot? "Also, I hope you don't put the hood down casually when you wear the priest's robe."

Feeling that Ares is too lenient, Wen Rao retorted, "Will it affect them if I put down the hood?"

"Yes." Ares said lightly.

Thinking that he was deliberately targeting his gentleness, when he couldn't help but lose his temper, he saw a chariot passing by. The number of people was only about half of the chariot he was sitting in. At first he thought it was a chariot. It was so crowded because there were too many people. Now I found that it didn't seem to be the case—these soldiers were deliberately crowded with him.

It's just that unresponsiveness is not stupid gentleness, and he suddenly understood.

Ares' elephant chariot was driving side by side with the chariot he was riding in. He stretched out his hand to Wen Rao whose face changed slightly. in the car.

Like in the car, there is also the smell of high-end spices, coming from the cushion that Ares leaned on.

In the chariot, after smelling the gentleness of the man's sweat for a long time, I felt that my blocked sense of smell suddenly recovered.

Ares leaned on the cushion with his arms propped up, because he was still on the road, he was not wearing any armor, and he was only wearing off-white casual clothes.His saber is in his hand, in case he should deal with a sneak attack on the road - but in fact, there is no sneak attack at all, the people of Vagne, after the soldiers sent to investigate at the beginning are wiped out, they should not have the courage Harass them again.

Wen Rao sat far away from him, watching the desolate scenery outside through the hung curtain.As the elephant cart swayed forward, Wen Rao always felt that a line of sight fell on him. When he turned his head, he saw Ares sitting in the elephant cart with his elbows propped up, looking at him.Seeing being discovered by Wen Rao, Ares didn't intend to look away, instead he smiled at Wen Rao.

"Actually, I have always had a question that I want to ask the priest."

Wen Rao put on the hood with a cold face, "What's the problem?"

"Why did the princess recommend you to the king and let you go to Vagne with the army?" After Ares finished speaking, he added, "As far as I know, apart from the ability to communicate with gods, priests do not have the ability to communicate with gods. What kind of force? Does the princess have something that needs her trusted priest to do it for her?"

He didn't get the kindness of instructions in this regard, and he complained fiercely about the behavior of the Nulian royal family in his heart-the king was desperately searching for property from his concubine's natal family, and the princes were more than one. Sensitive, afraid that they would plot some conspiracy behind their backs, "This time, the princess wants me to tell her brother that she is doing well in Nuli, so he should not worry."

Ares leaned back a little, his tied hair hung on his shoulders, and he also shook on the blanket, "Is it just like that?"

"What else does Prince Ares want to hear?" Wen Rao asked back.

Ares didn't say anything more. The sentence he said just now was more about worrying about the priest being injured on the battlefield-after all, most people who often deal with the dead don't believe in any gods.

Suddenly someone came to report that he was about to arrive at Sanforth. Wen Rao looked forward and saw a gray city on the horizon that he had not seen for many days, surrounded by yellow sand, somewhat like It is the illusion of a mirage.

After Ares agreed, he got up and put on his armor.After he put on his armor, he looked back and saw that the priest was still sitting on the elephant cart, so he said to him, "My lord, Sanforsli, there is very likely to be the remnants of Vanessa's troops. To ensure your safety, I will place you outside the city, and after the battle is over, I will send someone out to pick you up."

Wen Rao also knew how much he weighed. If there was a real fight, he would definitely be the first to be cannon fodder.

After saying that, Ares, who was about to get out of the car, stopped suddenly. He took out a dagger from his sleeve and threw it on Wen Rao's lap, "This dagger is for you to protect yourself—— Of course, I hope you don't have a chance to use it."

Wen Rao saw the back of him jumping out of the car, and picked up the dagger from his lap.

They soon arrived outside the city gate of Sanforth. The city wall of Sanforth was khaki, far less solid and tall than the city wall of Nurian.There were no patrolling people above, the city gate was open, and the atmosphere was so weird that Wen Rao thought of an empty city plan.

Ares left Wen Rao's elephant cart outside, and left two soldiers and a servant down to protect him, and the rest were brought into the city of Sanforth by him.

I don't know how long I waited outside the city wall, but I didn't hear any movement. Wen Rao guessed that there was no fight. After all, it took them so long to come from Nurian. If the people of Vagne were smart, they would have been there They ran away with their tails between their legs before they came.The more Wen Rao thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, so he ordered the soldiers to drive the elephant cart to the city.

Ares led the army and should go straight to the royal city. There were not many people on the streets along the way.

There are ruins everywhere, looking like they have been looted.Occasionally, a few people hid behind the wall and peeked out. After seeing the soldiers in armor, they shrank back.

Wen Rao walked through several streets like this. There were not even soldiers patrolling or disposing of corpses on the streets, only some terrified civilians.While Wen Rao was looking around, a few ragged civilians came from the front of their car passing by.Some civilians were still injured. They pushed a cart and walked towards them from the direction of the palace.

Wen Rao asked the soldiers to stop one of them, poked his head out of the elephant cart, and asked them, "Are you from Sanforth?"

The man pushing the cart nodded desperately.

"What's in the cart?" Wen Rao saw that the cart was covered with a straw mat, and it was bulging inside, as if something was hidden.

"Yes... It's my son. He was killed by Vanne's people." When the man said this, he was afraid that Wen Rao would not believe it, so he rolled up a corner of the mat, revealing a pair of scorched feet inside. .

"Then where are you going?"

"Send him outside the city for burial."

The large army led by Ares had just entered the royal city, and they should have encountered them before. Since they were not stopped, it means that there should be no problem inside.

After receiving gentle acquiescence, the person pushing the cart lowered his head and walked past him.

The soldier who was protecting Wen Rao said, "It seems that the people in Vagne have already withdrawn."

Wen Rao's eyes under the hood kept staring at the cart, "Wait a minute!" He took off the hood, got out of the elephant cart, and said to the person who said the deceased was his son, "I am Priest of Nurian, let me pray for him one last time."

With that said, Wen Rao rolled up the curtain, and inside lay a young corpse and a lot of jewels.Wen Rao walked to the cart, raised his hand and touched the dead man's cold head, then suddenly pulled out the soldier's saber, stabbed a few times into the pile of jewels next to the corpse, and after a sudden cry of pain, Blood seeped into the jewel and flowed out.

"My lord, what's going on?" the soldier asked him.

Wen Rao didn't bother to explain to them, saying that his son died, but there was only fear on his face, which must mean there was something weird in the cart.Pushing the jewel away a little revealed two corpses.They were dressed in the same clothes as the Vanir soldiers who had raided them that night.

"It's okay, they should be dead." Wen Rao said to those people pushing the cart.

Amidst the burst of crying from several people, Wen Rao knew that these two men were indeed Vanner's soldiers, but because Sanforth was too rich, it didn't count that they captured the king, and a few soldiers didn't count. Ken withdrew and continued to search for treasure in the palace.They threatened Sanforth's civilians and sent them out, or they would kill them. Just now they used this method to pass Ares, but they didn't expect to bump into Wen Rao behind them.

After appeasing them, Wen Rao continued to walk towards the palace.The two soldiers asked him reverently, "Master Priest, how do you know they are hiding inside?"

"God told me." Cross it out, in fact, you are too stupid.

After the two soldiers listened, they were revered besides reverence.Wen Rao had already put on the hood, rolled his eyes under the cover of the hood, and continued walking towards Sanforth's palace.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Soldier: My lord priest, how do you know they are hiding inside?

Gentle: God told me

Ares: Did God tell you that I am your future husband?

Gentle: Hehe
