Radiant Enemy

Connaught's army had to stop. Although it was not impossible to take a detour, if Cu Chulainn's provocation could not be broken, then their morale would plummet. Not only that, but letting a mere person make the army fearful If it gets out, what face do they have as the country's lords?

Having said that, it is impossible to wait here obediently to solve the magic set by Cu Chulainn.

Maeve rolled her beautiful eyes and had an idea.

She whispered a few words in the ear of her husband Ariel, and half of the army split up and detoured from the foot of the mountain to attack La Grocita.

Maeve was full of fighting spirit. Her original goal was Hilgna of Laglochita. She had obviously seduced Hilgna, but that man had an indifferent and disdainful expression on his face, and he did not waver at all. She was not in his eyes at all. figure.

This shattered Maeve's self-confidence as a woman. She must recover the debt from Hilgna. As for Cu Chulainn, Maeve really didn't pay attention to it at first.

But it's different now, she has another poisonous plan.

Since Cu Chulainn is so brave, it is better to lure him into Connaught's camp, which can not only eliminate a fierce enemy general, but also enhance her strength, and also make Hilgna grief-stricken. Three arrows!

The most important thing is to let this man who is Hilgna's partner fall at his feet. Thinking of Hilgna's expression of pain and despair, Maeve trembled with excitement, licking her lips continuously, and the hot flow A puff surged up from the lower abdomen.

As for whether Cu Chulainn will be tempted by her?

Of course he will!Before meeting Hilgna, Cu Chulainn was a staunch lover of sex, and Maeve was also very confident in herself, even if she was sexually frigid or homosexual, she could still Let the other party fall into your love net.

Maeve's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were shining brightly. With such an expression, one could tell that she was thinking of something.

Maeve's passion and sensuality are actually well known in Connaught, but because most people have an affair with her, they all tacitly keep silent.

Her husband Ariel opened his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

He watched as Maeve drove the rebuilt sturdy chariot, while the queen hummed a cheerful and melodious tune, and drove towards the river beach where Fergus had pulled out the branches.

"Ku Chuan—you are here, come out, I have something to say to you~~" Maeve obviously saw Cu Chulainn for the first time, and she had never paid any attention to Cu Chulainn before. At this moment, he was able to call Cu Chulainn with a sweet voice as if they were a passionate couple who had been dating for several months.

The smile on Maeve's face deepened when she saw a blue-haired young man with a magic gun appearing on the opposite side of the river beach.

"Ku Jiang, you are so powerful and powerful, come to Connaught! Everything you want can be given to you, land, cattle and sheep, weapons, jewelry, women, even my queen—whatever you want You are all satisfied!"

Maeve called tenderly to the other side of the river beach. She was dressed in a light skirt, and her graceful body was faintly visible in the breeze. No one could resist such a charm.

Her affectionate and seductive voice is enough to make any man agree to her request, let alone the invitation made by Queen Connaught, which means that as long as Cu Chulainn agrees, everyone in the world will be busy pursuing her. Everything that is held will be held in front of him.

No one can resist such a temptation, Maeve thought so superior.

It's no wonder that Maeve is so confident, because whether it's for money, power, fame, land, or being captured by her appearance, she has never met anyone who can reject herself.

But Hilgna is the first, and Cu Chulainn will be the second.

Because the blue-haired young man who looked handsome and vigorous showed an expression as if Maeve's head had been kicked by a horse, and his eyes were full of disdain for Maeve: "Huh? What do you guys want to do? If the meaning is unclear, is there something wrong with your head?"

Maeve's smile froze on her face. She listened to Cu Chulainn's follow-up chanting 'What are you talking about? It's inexplicable'. She was not affected or shaken at all, and she just felt that she was going crazy. up.

——In other words, Maeve has gone crazy after hitting a wall again in front of a man, and a person related to Hilgna.

Ah, Hilgna, Cu Chulainn!These two men let her taste the rage and shame of burning her bones!

The sweet smile on Maeve's face disappeared suddenly, and what remained was the queen's indifference: "Ah, yes, since you can't be my property, then you can die here - Cu Chulainn!!"

The mad Maeve even forgot about Cu Chulainn's strength, all she wanted was to chop off the man's head and throw it in front of Hilgna to vent her hatred! !

Fergus, who came along with Maeve, quickly rushed forward to protect Maeve in his arms, while Cu Chulainn's magic spear had already pierced from the other side of the river beach, and the sharp tip of the spear cut off Maeve's hair. The beautiful and smooth hair fell on the chariot and was blown away by the wind.

Maeve didn't even have time to feel the fear and trembling of death passing by, Fergus immediately pushed her away, and blocked Cu Chulainn's magic spear with the rainbow sword in his hand.

"Get out of the way, Fergus." Cu Chulainn looked very calm, but the piercing killing intent pervading his body made Fergus realize that if he was not here to block Cu Chulainn, then Maeve would never May leave safely.

"That's not okay, Cu Chulainn." He smiled, then tensed his arm muscles, pushing the accumulated strength upwards: "Maeve is my queen now."

After Fergus finished speaking, he signaled Maeve to leave first.

Maeve didn't hesitate at all, she immediately grasped the whip and drove the chariot to quickly retreat from the river beach battlefield.

"It's too pitiful for you to be ordered by this kind of guy—she ran without hesitation."

Cu Chulainn snorted coldly.

Fergus also showed a helpless smile: "But when I was driven out of Ulster by Konchufer, they took in me who was homeless, not to mention...Maeve is my woman."

"Tsk——what about your wife?" Cu Chulainn asked, "Your wife who is a fairy in the forest is absolutely impossible to get along with that guy safely?"

During the conversation, Cu Chulainn swung the long sword that Fergus had chopped off, and stabbed Fergus in the ribs.

"Yeah, so I can only make them try not to meet each other, but if I can let them live in peace, I am willing to do anything." Fergus turned his wrist and blocked Cu Chulainn's move poke.

Neither of them tried their best. First, they were still good friends who had known each other for many years, and second, this place was not the place for a decisive battle.

Fergus simply held Cu Chulainn back so that Maeve could retreat as soon as possible, and Cu Chulainn temporarily gave up this kill because of Fergus' face.

Cú Chulainn jumped back and jumped on the river beach on the opposite bank, but Fergus also stopped and did not pursue.

"Tell that guy I'll spare her life this time for your sake. But let me see her again and I'll take her life with any weapon. You gotta show her that La Grocchita has me Cu Chulainn is here! No one can touch Hilgna!"

Cu Chulainn's angry eyes and majestic appearance made Fergus silent for a while, then nodded and said: "I know, I will convey it, but whether she will retreat is not up to me to decide." It's gone."

"If she won't retreat, Fergus, we'll just be enemies fighting each other."

Cu Chulainn said seriously.

"Then I'm afraid we can only meet on the battlefield." Fergus left after saying this.

When Cú Chulainn blocked part of Connaught's army on the river beach, another part of the army had already bypassed the river beach and came to the plain of Mag.

There are no traces of enemies here, and the endless plains make it possible for the generals to spot any disturbances immediately.

They camped on the spot, but they didn't know that their activities of camping and building the hearth were clearly captured by a pair of eyes several miles away.

Thanks to Cu Chulainn who delayed Connaught's army, Lagrochita's team and Ulster's team finally met within the scheduled time limit.

Although this is not what Konchufer wants, but the apparent friendship still has to be shown.

The Ulster army led by Konchufer and Hilgna's army were stationed in the dense forest.

It is reasonable to say that the place where the army camps should be stationed in open places close to water sources such as plains and valleys, but the foothills are narrow, there is no water source, the climate is sultry, and you have to beware of the bites of those poisonous mosquitoes and snakes—you know It is possible to be killed on the spot by a bite of some kind of poison.

Konchufer naturally has a lot of opinions on Hilgner's proposal to camp in the foothills.

As a man who is obviously not the crown prince but has become the king of Ulster, Konchuf has excellent combat experience and rich experience in camping in the wild

Just when he was about to take advantage of this to train Hilgna as an elder and calmly take over the command of the entire army, he did not expect that Hilgna's team would come up with many Outlandish stuff.

What made Konchufer grit his teeth even more, and felt his face tingling as if being slapped was that the red branch knights under his command, those knights who had good friends with Cu Chulainn, had their eyes lit up, quite Wei Wei leaned over familiarly and helped the soldiers in light rattan armor carry them.

While the soldiers under Hilgna were busy, the comfortable, simple and elegant tents were set up one after another, and another team had already moved out one after another golden cauldrons, and charcoal fires were burning under the tripods to boil the drawn water .

The bright golden color attracted Kang Chufo's eyes, and he didn't understand why Maeve, a woman who was only crazy about treasures, launched an army to start this war until he saw it with his own eyes.

In this era, artisans who mastered smelting technology could obtain a large piece of land and herds of cattle and sheep. The weapons they forged were sharp and unstoppable, but Hilgna took this smelting creation, which was clearly at the forefront of technology, with Come and cook for the soldiers.

This is so...

luxury?arrogant?

Konchuf couldn't describe the fear in his heart, but most of the knights under his command had already waited eagerly by the cauldron, watching Hilgna's soldiers keep putting various kinds of food into it.

Some of them were totally unknown to Konchufer, which made him wonder if they could be eaten.

Green leaves of grass, dark red pieces of dried meat, and light yellow particles were put into the golden cauldron. After a while, everything inside boiled, and a tempting aroma came out.

The knights of Ulster got closer, staring at the cauldron and swallowing their saliva, which made Konchufer tighten his grip on the reins, and he couldn't help thinking in his heart: He obviously hasn't been hungry for these important knights. It's never been broken, why do all of them have green eyes like wolves who have been hungry for a long time?

The soldiers of La Grocita did not say anything to the Ulster knights. The soldier in charge of cooking carefully took out the tightly tied linen bag from his arms, and then put the small The snow-white powder was poured into the cauldron.

Konchuf really didn't want to see the attentive faces of the Red Branch Knights anymore, so he went straight into his tent and waited for the servants to bring in the cooked food.

As a rich and powerful country, Ulster naturally has its own background.

The waiter brought up his lunch, grilled pieces of meat dripping with fat, crispy beets, and plump fruits, which made Conchuffer nodded in satisfaction, ready to enjoy it.

But at this moment, Konchufer smelled a tangy aroma that made his mouth salivate just by smelling it.

This aroma lingered into his nose, and the food in front of him was like chewing wax, without any taste.

Kangqiufu endured it for a while, until he couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up abruptly and called the attendant: "What's the matter with this fragrance! In comparison, what you serve is simply inedible!"

Facing the furious king, the attendant immediately knelt down, put his head on the ground, and replied in a trembling voice: "My king, please calm down! Those aromas come from the food cooked by the soldiers under King Hilgna's command. , I’ll bring it here for you!”

As expected, the attendant was someone who had followed Konchufer for many years. He trotted out immediately, and after a while, he didn't know what he had done, and brought a steaming bowl of food smoothly.

Kang Qiufu looked carefully, and the things put into the pot had been boiled into a pile, and when you stirred them with the tableware, you could see that all kinds of things had been added in, making them sticky.

Although the aroma is indeed attractive, the appearance is really mediocre, and the beets put in have been boiled.

Can this stuff really be eaten?Konchuf had doubts, but the scent rushed to his nose, and his mouth also secreted saliva under the stimulation of the smell.

Try it first.

In the end, Kang Chufo still could not resist the temptation and took a sip tentatively.

It was just one mouthful, and the umami and deliciousness from the tip of his tongue made him even ignore the fact that it was still a little hot, and he began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

After eating the hot food, my whole body warmed up, and fine sweat broke out on my forehead—you must know that this is the beginning of spring, and the climate and temperature can never be called warm.

Konchuf asked, "Can those soldiers eat such food?"

This is obviously so delicious that only princes and nobles can enjoy it, but King Hilgna is willing to feed such food to those soldiers?

The attendant replied respectfully and fearfully: "...that's exactly the case, and even the slaves who carry the food and grass can get a share of the pie."

The composition of the Irish army is quite special. The main combat force is the knights supported by the kingdom, and the knights' descendants are supplemented by warriors.

The descendants of knights are also knights, and when passed on for a long time, it will become a family honor.

Of course, there are also slaves in the Knights. They are responsible for carrying food, cleaning weapons, pushing carts for the knights and other dirty and tiring tasks.

These slaves were illiterate, ignorant of etiquette, and were useless at all. Almost all of them were used as livestock.

And now the attendant told Kang Chufer that King Hilgna even fed such delicious food to the slaves?

This made Konchufer feel incomprehensibly absurd and ridiculous.

Sure enough, he was still too young to know that these slaves would run away when they were full - besides, what's the use of slaves who can't fight when they are full?

Conchuf's fear of Hilgna in his heart dissipated a little, and if this extravagance continued, Laglochita would perish on its own because of such a wasteful behavior.

After eating and drinking, Kangqiufu recalled the bowl of rice, and immediately realized that it might be the credit of the snow powder that was put in at the end.

"Go, find a way to get me one." Kang Chufo ordered to his subordinates.

His heart was full of excitement. If his guess was correct, it was no wonder that La Grozita, as a small country, could possess those treasures.

This one thing alone is enough to make the kings of other countries compete to buy it.

Hilgner didn't know how Konchufer evaluated himself. He was standing in front of the simple sand table he had made, carefully observing the best offensive line.

Finley followed him. He lifted the curtain of the tent, and then reported in a low voice beside Hilgna: "Konchufer has discovered that our 'salt' is different, and a bag has been taken by his attendants. stole."

"Well done, didn't you find out that they took it away on purpose?" Hilgner asked.

"No, Konchufer must have got the salt by now." After a pause, Finley raised his head and asked, "But my lord, why did we expose the snow salt to Konchufer? Is it good for us? Do you want to expand the deal? But what if Ulster is the same as Connaught Country, so greed betrays us, what should we do?"

Hilgner smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "This is a temptation. As for what happens next...it depends on whether Konchufer will bite the bait."

In this land, although there is already salt-making technology, but to make such a colorless, white as snow salt powder, there is no country that can mass-produce it, and even if there is, the cost is very high.

Since Hilgna is willing to allow the slaves accompanying the army to eat this kind of food, it also means that he already has the ability to produce salt in large quantities stably.

Konchufer is a relative of Cú Chulainn, the ruler of Ulster, and an obstacle to Hilgna's taking all of Ireland into his hands.

Because of Cu Chulainn, Hilgna would not take the initiative to attack Konchufer, but if his side launched an attack, Hilgna would certainly not sit idly by.

This is a temptation, and Snow Salt is Xiangxiang's first bait. If Konchuf can resist the temptation and fulfill the responsibility of the alliance, then Hilgna will stop here, showing that Ulster is a country worth forming an alliance with. Never lay hands on Ulster while alive.

But if Konchuf had an evil heart, then he couldn't blame Hilgna for being cruel.

After eating and drinking, Hilgner ordered the first attack.

He stood on the shaft of the car and looked into the distance. Connaught's army reacted quickly when they sensed the enemy's attack, and immediately formed an array to meet it.

Hilgner didn't care about the disparity in the number of armies between the two sides. One of his original goals was to train troops.

The first row is the shield soldiers, who resisted the enemy's first attack with their solid shields, and the shield soldiers immediately lined up to the two sides, allowing the spearmen in the second row to stab, and then waited for the enemy After reacting, when the enemies in the rear gathered together, there would be a third wave of long-range attacks - bow and arrow strafing.

It takes years to train an excellent archer, but when the enemy is all gathered together, as long as the weapon reserves are sufficient, even if the accuracy is not enough, the recruit can hurt the enemy.

Not to mention that the arrowheads made by Hilgna are all clustered with barbs, as long as they are pierced into flesh and blood, it will take a lot of trouble to get them out.

Hilgna also hesitated for a while whether to use such a powerful weapon. After all, in this place where medical treatment is underdeveloped and only healing magic has some effect, once those ordinary soldiers are hit by arrows, they will die or be disabled.

But the disparity in the number of enemies and us is too large, and Hilgner knows the idiom that many ants kill elephants, so he finally uses this new weapon.

The sharp weapons made up for the lack of combat power, and the commander on the opposite side also realized the huge damage, and screamed to make the army retreat, but even though he gave the order in time, so that the army's losses were not too huge, he was still killed.

Shoot people first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first, although Hilgna is reluctant to shoot and kill horses unless it is a last resort—after all, Irish horses are really strong—but thanks to the leader’s roaring order, Xi Argon found him.

The white-haired king took off the chain link in his hand, and after injecting magic power, the weapon made of Deaththorn's fang and thousands of other precious and rare magic materials changed into the weapon shape Hilgna wanted, and was He holds it in his hand.

Finley sent him an arrow, and Silgner put the arrow on the bowstring, stretched his right hand back, and gently pulled the flexible bowstring.

When the bowstring was drawn to the shape of a full moon, Hilgna pointed the arrow tip at the leader's heart, and his breathing slowed down, as if merging with the surrounding breeze and flowing water, growing under the sun with nature.

With a sound of "whoosh", Hilgna let go of the arrow, and the arrow carried an unstoppable momentum, as dexterous as a vigorous owl, passed through the queue of soldiers, and came directly in front of the army leader.

It was as if the arrow was born to grow on the leader's chest, it appeared before anyone noticed, and it grew neatly on his heart.

No one knew what happened, nor where the arrow came from. Everyone was afraid after the battle just now, and before they even had time to react, the leader of their army was shot by an arrow. shot down.

A deadly silence spread around the leader of the fallen chariot, and it wasn't until a while later that someone jumped up and tried to treat him as if he had just woken up from a dream.

But that was useless, Hilgna's arrow had already pierced his heart, taking his life away.

After that, it was as if the god of death from the underworld had descended. All the noble lieutenants who surrounded him were killed by the arrows that suddenly appeared one by one.

Under the threat of death, these people quickly reacted and asked their subordinates to form a human wall with shields to block them, guarding against cold arrows that would come from nowhere.

Seeing that this method could no longer be used, Hilgna stopped pouring magic power, turned the blood-red longbow into a bracelet, and brought it back to his wrist.

But this is only the prelude to Hilgner's fame in this battle.

The author has something to say:

Maeve, whose charm magic didn't work, was going crazy [.

What I want to tell is not only the Shura Field, but also the story of Hilgner.

It would be more interesting to set up a richer Shura field...

I also really want to write about the Shura field in Chaldea, but before that, I’d better gather all the people in the Shura field~

However, after the dungeon of this life is over, there will be a small Shura field dungeon, and Hilgna alter will also appear, so stay tuned~
