Guo Shier shouted, "Come here! If you have something to say, just say it. Don't sneak around. Are you looking for a piñata? "The man scrambled over with a terrified look on his face. Guo Shier couldn't help but laugh. "Am I that scary?" The man was scared stiff, but he kept nodding.
Aizec was amused. "Hey, Shier, he admits you're scary."
The man stammered, "No … no … I'm not … I …" He was so scared that he couldn't speak properly.
Pinata smiled bitterly. "Ilk, just say what you want to say."
Ilk stuttered, "Yes, yes … yes, I'll say, I'll say …" Pinata was so angry that he almost kicked him away. "Speak properly!"
Guo Shier asked, "Is the caravan already here?"
Ilk finally calmed down a little. "No, it's not. News came from the Xiba Plains. They encountered the army of Aike … They want us to go and help."
Pinata asked nervously, "Lost? What are the losses? "
Ilk said, "Ambushed … We didn't expect Aike to send troops. We suffered great losses. When Duke Aike attacked, we lost many strong fighters. They only retreated when the other troops arrived. But they probably haven't reached Aike yet …"
Pinata was about to speak when he saw Guo Shier's half-smiling face. He suddenly realized that he was no longer the commander of this troop. He sighed and said, "Let's hope they can hold on … We can't help."
Guo Shier didn't say anything. He had never thought of sending troops. Neither Chiska nor Aike was important to him. He was thinking about Li Ran and the others. Up until now, he had only received a message glyph. It was just a reminder, but it didn't ask him to meet up with them. But he knew that a message glyph would arrive soon. When that time came, he would have to go to the Barren Lands.
Aizec asked, "Shier, where to? Do you want to go to the Barren Lands? "He was very interested in the Barren Lands because there were strong people he could kill there.
Guo Shier said angrily, "Do you know the way?"
Aizec was stunned. He said, "How would I know the way?"
Guo Shier said, "Then don't talk. Just follow me." Aizec was speechless. He thought, "Aren't you bullying people?" But he was wrong. Guo Shier wasn't bullying people, he was bullying beasts.
A group of cavalrymen galloped over and were blocked at the entrance of the stronghold. Soon, someone came to report that people from the Xiba Plains were asking to enter.
Guo Shier gave the order to let them in. The group of cavalrymen quickly arrived at the center of the camp. There were more than 30 of them, and their leader was a sinister middle-aged man. He was wearing a rare metal armor, and when he jumped down from his horse, the armor made a clanking sound. They jumped off.
"Pinata! Pinata! What's wrong with your camp? "
The man walked over step by step. His armor made clanking sounds. Pinata's face changed. He said, "Oka, why are you here?"
Oka didn't look happy. He looked at him with disdain and impatience. He said, "Why did you only gather so few people? There's not even a gate. Who left this mark? "The gate had been shattered by Guo Shi 'er's Crescent Blade. Although it had been cleaned, the mark was still there.
Pinata's face darkened. He said, "You ask too many questions. I don't belong to you. Just say what you want!"
With just a few words, Guo Shi 'er realized that these two people didn't get along with each other, and their relationship was definitely not good.
Oka glanced at Guo Shi 'er who was sitting calmly and asked, "Who is he? Stand up! "
Guo Shier didn't expect Oka to vent his anger on him. He grinned and said, "Why should I stand up? I'm very comfortable sitting here! "
Pinata's face turned green. He knew how strong Guo Shier was. He didn't expect Oka to provoke Guo Shier. He hurriedly said, "Oka! You … "
Guo Shier raised his hand to stop him. He said, "If I don't stand up, what are you going to do? Who do you think you are? "He sounded like he was flirting. With his temper, he wouldn't be Guo Shi 'er if he didn't mock him at this moment.
Oka looked at Guo Shier in surprise. He realized that Guo Shier was special. He knew that Guo Shier wasn't a local. He asked, "You … You are a foreigner?" He took one step back as if he was facing a great enemy. His subordinates also took out their weapons. They looked at Guo Shier with vigilance.
Guo Shier was still sitting. He said, "Is it strange to be a foreigner?" He crossed his legs and looked at Oka with an indifferent expression.
Oka turned to the pinata and shouted, "How dare you take in a foreigner!"
Guo Shier said faintly, "You're wrong. Pinata didn't take me in …"
Oka asked, "What do you mean?"
Guo Shier said coldly, "Nothing. He's my captive!"
Oka pulled out his two-handed sword and shouted, "Pinata, what's going on?"
Pinata said, "My business … I don't need you to ask!" He felt very uncomfortable. He had reached an agreement with Guo Shier. But, as soon as this guy came, everything was messed up. He called Guo Shier a foreigner. This foreigner wasn't an ordinary person. His cruelty was beyond imagination.
Oka was enraged. "Bastard! You're a prisoner! How dare you be so arrogant! Surrender now! "
Aizec laughed. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Oka. "This guy is stupid …" Then he pointed at Pinata. "He's not as smart as you … Haha."
Oka dashed forward and raised his two-handed sword. He shouted and slashed down.
Crack! The small wooden block was split into two halves. Guo Shier suddenly appeared behind Oka. Oka's guards shouted to be careful, but Guo Shier was too fast. Puff! Oka felt like a mountain was pressing on his shoulder. He couldn't resist that force. His legs became soft and he knelt on the ground. Guo Shier pressed his shoulder and asked indifferently, "Do you want to kill me?"
Oka's heart was cold. He didn't think that Guo Shier was that strong. However, he was also a ruthless guy. He spun his two-handed sword and aimed at the gap under his ribs. He stabbed it back. However, before the sword could reach his back, his body moved. He screamed in fright. The two-handed sword pierced through his own abdomen.
Guo Shier quickly dodged. Oka hurriedly moved backward. He tried to hit Guo Shier with the sword that had pierced through his body, but Guo Shier was too fast. He had already moved away.
Ezekiel, who was still making sarcastic remarks, said, "Uh, he couldn't get over it … Why would he commit suicide?"
Oka sat down and panted. He looked at the sword that pierced through his abdomen and said, "Good, good. Pinata, you … you're finished!"
Aizec was still mocking him. "Strange guy … I don't understand. What are you thinking?" He thought that Oka's brain was damaged.
Oka turned his head and said, "You guys retreat!" His subordinates immediately rushed to the gate.
Guo Shier and Aizec didn't stop him. They just stared at Pinata. Oka shouted, "Quick … Go back and report!"
Pinata forced a smile. He moved forward and slashed Oka's head. He shouted, "Block the gate. Kill!"
A large group of bandits swarmed over. Oka's subordinates and followers killed their way out of the gate. However, they had too few people. By the time they reached the gate, there were only two or three of them left. Hundreds of bandits surrounded them. These two or three people couldn't stop them. They were all killed in a short time.
Pinata sighed. Even if he didn't like Oka, he didn't want to have a falling out with him. He didn't want to kill him. But he had no other choice. He had to kill his subordinates. Otherwise, if they ran back, he didn't know what they would say. They were too big a threat to him.
Oka was dead, but he brought the news of Chiska's defeat. Pinata understood how serious the situation was. If Duke Erik personally attacked, they wouldn't be able to stop him. But he knew that the Grand Duke couldn't stay here for long. After he killed some of the strong ones, he would return to Aizec. He had to protect Aizec.
Pinata wanted to invite Guo Shier to join the Chiska Duchy, but he knew it was impossible. Up until now, he still hadn't figured out how strong Guo Shier and Ezekiel really were. The only thing he knew was that they were very powerful, perhaps even legendary Kings.
After a while, Pinata couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew it was just wishful thinking. Given their strength, there was no way they would serve the Chiska Duchy.
Pinata sighed and asked, "Sir, are we going to the Xiba Plains?"
Guo Shier said, "Let's wait for now. There's no point in going to the Xiba Plains now … Wait …" A red light flashed. He grabbed it and a message fell into his hand. Before he could look at it, another red light flashed. Aizec also grabbed it. He said, "I can't believe you gave me back my message."
The two of them looked at the communication talisman, and their expressions immediately changed. Guo Shier looked up. "Pinata, do you know the Zilin Duchy?"
Pinata was surprised. "Zilin Duchy? I know. It's very far away. It'll take at least half a year to get there from here. " He was curious. Zilin Duchy was a famous grand duchy. It wasn't something Chiska or Aizec could compare to.
Guo Shier asked, "Which direction?"
Pinata pointed into the distance. "Past Aizec, straight ahead. But it won't be easy. There are many duchies and countless castles along the way. Some places have checkpoints. You're foreigners, so it's even harder."
Ezekiel said, "We're not going to walk there." To the two of them, half a year's journey was actually not that far. If they were to fly over, it would only take a few days, or perhaps not even a few days.
Guo Shier looked at the message again and said, "Jadran, Essen, Tokudai, come over."
Jadran came over. "Leader, what are your orders?" Irene, De Da, and the others also arrived. They all had a bad feeling in their hearts. They came to Guo Shier Shi 'er's side anxiously.
Guo Shier said, "We have urgent matters to attend to. We need to leave immediately …"
