Ye was suddenly informed that the black-robed priest was looking for her just before the army of the Black Fire Tribe was about to set off. When she jogged to Lu Chen's side, she heard Lu Chen telling her expressionlessly that she should prepare to leave with him.
This request, or rather, an order, attracted the attention of many Barbarian warriors, and many gazes fell on Ye's shocked face.
In the Barbarian tribes, at least in the northern border region, fighting had always been the business of men. Warriors wielded weapons and fought on the battlefield for the sake of the tribe and glory. They would never allow women to follow them to the battlefield.
Although this order was obviously against the unwritten rules of the Barbarian tribes, no one stood up and said anything. It seemed that between the reverence of the black-robed priest and the abnormality of a little maid, most people valued the former more. Therefore, Ye was muddle-headed and involuntarily followed the army and left the Black Fire Tribe.
Although in the beginning, Lu Chen was very calm and seemed to have told Ye to prepare before leaving, in fact, it was a completely different matter.
The entire army of the Blackfire tribe was ready to set off. Even the most important ritual had been held. Of course, with so many people, they wouldn't wait for an inconspicuous little maidservant. After the black-robed shaman finished speaking to her, he immediately left.
Therefore, the little barbarian maid, who was at a loss and in a panic, had no time to pack up. In the end, she just grabbed a few pieces of clothing and ran over. Then, she followed beside Lu Chen with an aggrieved and nervous expression as they walked towards the unknown battlefield.
… …
There were very few barbarian women who had gone to the battlefield. Therefore, Ye felt very unfamiliar and a little afraid of being in the army. After all, she was surrounded by burly men who looked murderous. Moreover, most of these people were not her tribesmen who had grown up with her. Instead, they were the murderers who had slaughtered her tribe not long ago.
Ye felt very nervous, even breathing was a little difficult. She felt very ashamed and wronged because of this feeling. Even if she was a woman, especially as a daughter of the Barbarian Tribe, fear of fear was still looked down upon by others, including herself.
However, with so many complex emotions intertwined, in the end, the feeling of fear and uneasiness prevailed. So even though Yezi still had some resentment towards Lu Chen, she still subconsciously approached him.
Lu Chen did not have any extra reaction to this. At most, he only glanced at her indifferently, and then allowed the barbarian girl to follow beside him.
After walking for a while, Lu Chen suddenly asked Leaf, "Did you stay in the stone house alone in the Blackfire Camp?"
Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and then said, "I'm fine."
Since he said that he was fine, Ye dared not ask any more questions. After that, Lu Chen did not say anything to her.
After walking and stopping along the way, Ye followed the elite warriors of the Blackfire Tribe to a campsite. Not long after, the sky turned dark.
…
Before the sky turned dark, the leaders of the Blackfire Tribe, led by Huo Yan, had already ordered the warriors to settle down. Therefore, after darkness fell, the campsite quickly quieted down. Everything seemed very orderly and austere.
This atmosphere surprised Leaf a little. When she lived in her own tribe, which was the Divine Wood Tribe, in the past, although she did not follow them out like this, she more or less learned about the situation of the warriors from the people around her. The Barbarians were originally fierce and bold. As warriors who were about to fight to the death and did not even know if there would be a tomorrow or if they would return from the battlefield, they were even more unrestrained.
Loud noises, shouting and drinking were common. Even fighting was not uncommon. In fact, this was the norm in many small tribes. But this night, for the first time, she saw the discipline of the Blackfire Tribe suddenly become so strict. For a moment, she was a little frightened.
Although Ye didn't know much about these battles, he could clearly feel that the murderous intent of these cold and quiet people seemed to be far sharper than that of the clansmen's warriors that he had heard and seen before.
She still stayed by Lu Chen's side because on this land and in this troop, apart from this black-robed priest, she did not know who else she could rely on. With her was the huge black wolf Atsu. This time, Lu Chen also brought it out. But on this night, Atsu still looked a little lazy. It lay down by Lu Chen's side early and closed its eyes to sleep.
In truth, Ye really wanted to ask Lu Chen what was the point of asking him to come along for this kind of battle.
However, she was still too afraid of the black-robed priest. In the end, she hid this question in her heart and walked around him with her head lowered, trying to see if there was anything she could do.
There were no Barbarian warriors in the vicinity. Most people subconsciously stayed away from the black-robed priest, even if they had the enchantment runes carved by the black-robed priest himself.
It was in this silence that Lu Chen suddenly said to Leaf, "Sit down. We're here to fight, not to enjoy life. There's no need to be so busy."
Leaf was speechless after hearing this. After a long while, she returned to Lu Chen's side and knelt down. She then plucked up her courage and asked, "Sir, if that's the case, why did you bring me here? If I don't clean up, I won't be of much use here. "
"It should be of some use …" Lu Chen looked at her calmly and said, "I heard that when you Barbarians are extremely hungry, you can eat people."
Leaf's face turned pale. Her body trembled and she quickly said, "No, no, there's no such thing. Sir, where did you hear this rumor?"
"I've seen it." Lu Chen's eyes flashed slightly. It was as if he remembered what he had seen and heard in the dangerous Land of Chaos a long time ago.
"You've seen it …" Leaf was stunned for a moment. Her face was full of doubt. It seemed that she really didn't believe it.
Lu Chen smiled and didn't want to argue with her. He just lightly said, "Rest early. Otherwise, we might have to wake up early tomorrow."
"Oh," Leaf agreed. She lay down not too far away from Lu Chen. At the same time, she secretly criticized in her heart, "If the army hasn't reached their destination, of course they have to wake up early. You don't have to tell me that."
But on this night, or perhaps the next day, just as Lu Chen had said, they woke up early, much, much earlier than usual.
When darkness shrouded the earth, a large number of black shadows suddenly rushed out of the night. Then, like wild beasts, they fiercely pounced on the Black Fire's camp.
The darkness seemed to solidify at that moment.
In the camp, Lu Chen opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and full of spirit. It seemed that he hadn't slept at all. Beside him, Leaf suddenly woke up and jumped up. She said in surprise, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
But when she turned back to look at Lu Chen with a dependent and questioning gaze, she suddenly trembled and stood rooted to the ground.
The black-robed priest was still sitting on the ground, but one of his hands was placed a foot in front of his chest. His palm was facing up. A black flame appeared in his palm and burned silently.
Leaf held her breath and looked at the flame. Her body began to tremble. At the same time, the flame suddenly floated outward with a whoosh, like a person's finger, pointing in a certain direction.
Lu Chen raised his cold eyes and stared at the nervous Leaf. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Is there anything strange in your lower abdomen?"
