It was summer, and the heat was unbearable. Even the wind blowing against their faces was mixed with a bit of heat. The soldiers in heavy armor were all sweating profusely, as if they had just climbed out of a river. They could not take off their armor. They were not bandits, but a regular army. What would become of them if they took off their armor? Not only could they not take it off, but they also had to wear more clothes because their armor had become hot under the direct sunlight. If they did not want to become barbecued meat, they could only use thick clothes to protect themselves.
Seeing soldiers fainting from time to time, Léger was a little anxious. Yesterday, Lang Ning had suddenly asked him to lead the main force to the west, and Lang Ning himself had stayed in Nuremberg with two cavalry units. It would take at least three days for them to arrive and join him. Although Lang Ning was by his side, he could not ask for his opinion on everything. Now, he had to make the decision himself.
"Young Marshal, we can't go any further," a Knight whispered in Léger's ear. "If we go any further, the soldiers will collapse."
"After we pass the mountain in front, stop and rest!" Léger ordered.
Léger's order was passed from the center of the formation to the front and back. The exhausted soldiers almost cheered, but at this moment, the cavalry unit at the front suddenly became chaotic. There was a lot of shouting and neighing. If it were not for the fact that no one had blown the alarm horn, Léger would have ordered the soldiers to get into battle formation. He did not dare to be careless and hurriedly led dozens of Knights to the front.
Lang Ning had never made any mistakes when he was leading the army. Now that he was the new leader, if something like this happened and caused losses to the army, it would be very embarrassing for him.
Rushing up the mountain, Léger was about to ask when suddenly, an extremely unpleasant smell hit his face. Léger dared to swear that he had never smelled such a stench in his life. With just a small breath, he felt as if his insides were being overturned and his vision turned black. Léger hurriedly covered his nose, and then he heard someone yelling, "Put it down! Put it down! What are you doing?! "
Paul was furious. Now that Lang Ning wasn't here, and Léger put him in the vanguard, Paul thought it was time for him to shine. However, his subordinates didn't live up to his expectations. They were complaining about the weather being too hot, and now they were covering their noses and refusing to leave. Their faces were pale as if they had seen something horrible.
"General! It stinks! "A Knight couldn't help but complain after being whipped in the head.
"What did you say?" Paul was furious.
"General, I'm not talking about you," the Knight was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained, "I'm saying that the air here is too stinky."
"Bullshit! How come I don't smell it … "
"General, this is not bullshit! It's definitely not a fart! "Several Knight shouted in unison," Fart can't be this smelly! "
Paul was stunned. He turned around and asked his personal Knight, "Do you guys smell the stench?"
The seven or eight personal guards looked at each other and shook their heads. They didn't look like they were faking it. Those who smelled the stench didn't look good either.
Paul's eyes were about to burst into flames. His personal guards wouldn't lie to him, so who was the one lying?
Just as Paul was about to lose his temper, a voice came and calmed him down, "Paul, you don't smell the stench?"
"Young Marshal! You … you smell the stench? "Paul asked in surprise.
"You really can't smell it?" Léger was even more surprised than Paul.
"But none of us can smell it."
Léger was also uncertain. He turned around and asked his Knight, "Do you guys smell the stench?"
Those knights nodded at the same time. In order to verify it once again, one of them loosened his nose and took a deep breath. As a result, he couldn't control the overwhelming feeling anymore and vomited out with a "wah" sound.
Vomiting was like yawning. It was contagious. The rest of the Knights were trying their best to control themselves. When they saw the Knight vomiting, more than ten of them couldn't control themselves anymore. The sound of vomiting could be heard everywhere.
A giant tortoise rushed up from the foot of the mountain. Han Jin and the others didn't want to walk with the soldiers because it was too noisy. However, they had found something wrong in the distance, so they rushed here as fast as they could.
"It's so smelly …" Morrisons's loud voice rang out, "Who is it? Who farted? "
"It must be you!" Sassoux looked at Morrisons with disdain, "You already used this trick last time. Who are you trying to fool?"
"Nonsense! I … "Morrisons wanted to argue with Sassoux, but the giant tortoise had already reached the top of the mountain. Morrisons felt like his chest was about to explode. He quickly covered his nose.
Sassoux and the others felt the same. Sunier couldn't help but groan. Qi Li's beautiful face changed. The stench was unimaginable! Han Jin's expression was very serious. He could clearly sense that something was wrong in front of them! If he were to describe it in the language of Taoism, it would be evil!
"It's the Titan Konjac." Guevara's voice rang in everyone's ears, "It's also known as the Hell Flower. It emits a strong stench of corpses. But strangely, if the pollen of the Titan Konjac is collected and diluted, it can be made into a mysterious perfume. It is very popular among all races."
"What did you say? The stench of corpses? "Morrisons shouted.
"What did you say? Perfume? "Qi Li also shouted.
Morrisons was in pain because he had inhaled a big mouthful of the stench of corpses. Qi Li, on the other hand, was wondering if she should throw away all her perfume.
Guevara did not answer. He quietly looked down the mountain. Only then did everyone see that there was a huge mushroom-like thing growing in the distance. But everyone was attracted by the stench and did not pay attention to the scene. Even if they did, they would not have thought that the stench had spread from so far away.
Riptide's infantry was also approaching the mountain. The leader of the platoon suddenly smelled something. He took a deep breath and shouted in surprise and joy, "What's that smell? It smells so good … "
Everyone turned to look at him. What he said was too disgraceful! Almost everyone was in pain because of the stench. Someone who praised the stench of corpses would of course become the target of everyone.
Guevara also turned around. Even the abyssal races could not stand the smell of the Titan Konjac. It was the first time he heard that someone liked the Titan Konjac!
The platoon leader was shocked. He took a few steps back and murmured, "My … My Lord, what's wrong?"
The infantry behind the platoon leader rushed over. Their expressions were different. Some covered their noses and complained that it was too smelly, while others looked intoxicated and kept sniffing. But there were not many of the latter. Including the platoon leader, there were less than ten of them.
"Sir, can the Titan Konjac create illusions?" Léger suddenly remembered something.
"The Titan Konjac is just an ordinary flower. At most, it can be used to make perfume. It has no other use." Guevara shook his head.
"Then they …" Léger pointed at the infantry. The scene was very strange. Most of them felt that the stench was extremely bad. Some of them could not smell anything. Some of them even thought that the smell was very sweet. There was no reasonable explanation at all! Unless, there was something strange about the Titan Konjac itself.
Guevara, who had always been calm, showed hesitation for the first time. He could not figure out why, but in the end, he chose to believe in his experience. "Léger, let the soldiers pass through quickly. We will rest in front."
"Sir, Zagunéd would not plant the Titan Konjac here for no reason. Are you sure there is no problem?" Léger asked seriously.
"The Titan Konjac's vitality is very strong. There is no need to plant it deliberately. Besides, so what if there is a problem?" Guevara said calmly. "The only ones I have scruples about are Zagunéd, Caroline, and Betty. Since they are not here, even if there is a problem, it will not be a problem for us."
"Understood, sir." Léger nodded. He turned around and shouted, "All soldiers, speed up and pass on the characteristics of the Titan Konjac. Don't let the soldiers panic."
"Yes, sir, Young Marshal!" Several Knight bowed and answered.
Han Jin patted the giant tortoise with his hand. He said softly, "Qi Li, Stillberg, you guys go down first."
In this small team, Han Jin had developed enough prestige. No one asked any questions. They jumped down the giant tortoise one after another. The giant tortoise then strode down the hill first.
Léger was relieved. He looked at Han Jin's back with gratitude. What is a friend? This is a friend! When you have difficulties, you don't even need to ask for help. Your friend will take the initiative to solve your problems. If there was really something wrong in front, it would definitely cause heavy losses to the soldiers. However, with Han Jin and the others leading the way, there would be no problem. With Han Jin's strange abilities, he would bring everyone back safely. Léger had confidence in Han Jin.
The giant tortoise quickly approached the flower area. Morrisons and the others braced themselves and prepared for battle. Up close, the Titan Kojac looked even uglier. Its bumpy skin was covered with ferocious hairs, like countless steel needles. Even the smallest Titan Kojac was thicker than Morrisons.
Han Jin threw two talismans into the depths of the flowers, if they were flowers. Then he walked to the edge of the tortoise's back and cut off a small piece of its stem. Morrisons covered his nose and shouted, "Raphael, what are you doing?"
Han Jin didn't answer. He put the stem into his space ring and silently observed the surroundings. The Titan Kojac looked terrifying, but they were actually very fragile. As long as the giant tortoise touched them, they would either be sent flying or fall to the ground.
The barrier formed by the Titan Kojac was about three miles wide. The giant tortoise quickly rushed to the other side. Han Jin was now sure that there was no problem. He turned back and whispered, "Sunier, give them the signal."
Sunier took off her longbow and shot a whistling arrow into the sky. Léger on the hill waved his hand. "Forward."
