After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1099 The so-called flames are small animals
“Originally, the mountain people were not our mortal enemies. In fact, because of the matter of our ancestor’s descendants, they even had some kinship with us. We can use this kinship to control them and make them help us kill the Wei people!”

"But after the killing began, after the old village killed the mountain people, we have an irreconcilable blood feud with them!"

"Fools, a bunch of fools! You've helped Jiang Dalang use the blood of the mountain people to sacrifice for the Great Wei army's flag, giving the mountain people something to retaliate against!" Shi Junnu angrily rebuked Da Azu and Yetuo, pointing at them and saying, "If it weren't for the need for manpower, I would have killed you all to make food, as a warning to the entire army!"

Da Azu/Ye Tuo: "..."

However, our Eastern Desert's practice has always been to slaughter any who resist us. After slaughtering a batch, the rest will kneel down and serve the Eastern Desert.

They never expected that the rebels would win this time.

Da Azu and Yetuo prostrated themselves on the ground, pleading guilty: "Your subordinates know their mistakes. Please give us your orders, Master. We are willing to burn our last strength for the Eastern Desert!"

"At least you know what's important." Shi Junnu was quite satisfied with their words and quickly gave the order: "Strike the divine drum to notify the people of the old village. Eighty percent of the men should escort Huomiao away, and twenty percent should stay behind to clean up the old village. Destroy everything that shouldn't be left behind. Do it immediately. Abandon the village and leave within three quarters of an hour!"

"Yes!" Da Azu and Yetuo agreed, but they were still very unwilling: "Master, we have worked for three generations to finally obtain the old village. Are we really going to abandon such a good stronghold? Is there any way to salvage it?"

Shi Junnu: "You have already killed the mountain people, the blood feud is already formed, how can you salvage the situation!"

Would he be willing to abandon the old village?
This is a more established stronghold than the bandit camp. Giving it up means giving up the entire mountain population, something he is more reluctant to do than anyone else.

But now...

"Tell the men left behind to hold off the enemy, and kill Jiang Dalang as soon as you get the chance... This man is no warrior, much less a general; he's a complete power-hungry manipulator. He can even scheme against the mountain people. If we let him live, he'll only be more ruthless in his future schemes against our Eastern Desert. We must do our best to kill him... If all else fails, crippling him will do!"

While treating the mountain people as brothers, he plotted to kill them, using their blood to sacrifice to the flag, thus creating hatred among the mountain people and turning the remaining mountain people into avengers who would fight to the death with the Eastern Desert.

Just thinking about such methods terrified Shi Junnu.

"Strike the divine drum and go do it!" Shi Junnu handed the two of them a military order he had personally written and half of a red feather token.

"Yes!" Da Azu and Yetuo took the token and immediately went to beat the divine drum.

Boom boom boom boom!

A strange, urgent drumbeat sounded, and the Dongmo people who heard it immediately gathered in the old village.

They moved quickly, but the old village was too big, and it still took them half an hour to assemble.

Da Azu and Ye Tuo held up half of the red feather token and read Shi Junnu's military order: "The master has ordered that 20% of the elite soldiers stay with me to clear out the old stronghold and hold off the enemy. If there is an opportunity, we will eliminate the Great Wei general Jiang Dalang! The remaining 80% of the troops will escort Huomiao with the master to the border to join the main army!"

Upon hearing this, the people of the old village all stretched out one hand, drew a symbol in the air with one hand, and said, "To be loyal to the Eastern Desert!"

"Good, worthy of being a fine son of the Eastern Desert!" Da Azu was very pleased, and turned to Yetuo, saying, "Take eighty percent of the men to find the master. Remember to testify for my family that I died for the loyalty of the Eastern Desert!"

His infiltration attempt failed. If he didn't die in battle, his clansmen in the Eastern Desert would become slaves, so he couldn't leave and had to stay.

"Yes, senior, rest assured, I will inform the people of your hometown of your achievements." I agreed.

"Alright, let's go. When the army enters Wei, help me kill a few more Wei people!" Da Azu pushed Yetuo away to prevent him from delaying and affecting his determination to serve Dongmo.

Boom boom!
"Follow me!" Ye Tuo turned around and led eighty men into the depths of the old village... until they stopped in front of a cave entrance inside a mountain.

The cave entrance descends vertically, to an unknown depth, but the cave occupies no space; instead, it waits for those below to ascend.

The assassins below have received orders to retreat and are entering the wooden cages one by one.

Before long, the people from Yetuo were pulling ropes above the cave entrance, hauling the wooden cages up from below. The cave was deep, and it took at least half an hour to pull the cages up.

There were ten wooden cages, and four people stood in each cage. The person in the middle was completely covered by a large leather cloak.

The blouse was fiery red, like a raging fire.

And inside his blouse, he seemed to be holding something.

A sharp, chirping sound came from inside.

Although I don't know what it is, it must be some kind of small animal.

And this thing is the flame they are trying to protect.

However, before the people in the wooden cage could even get out, the men holding the ropes suddenly lost their strength, and with a rustling sound, the ropes slipped from their hands, causing them to fall rapidly downwards.

after a little while.

Bang-!
Bang-!
Bang-!
A dull thud came from the bottom of the cave, leaving everyone stunned. Tuo shouted, "Hold on to the rope and protect the flames!"

As he spoke, he ran wildly to the cave entrance, grabbed a rope from which a wooden cage was hanging, and shouted back, "Doctor! Doctor, come quickly and see what's wrong with them?!"

The accompanying physician rushed over to check on those who had suddenly collapsed from exhaustion.

At least a hundred people have developed this symptom, but the doctors' diagnosis is still the same as at the altar: "We don't know what the disease is, it's just a symptom of weakness like that of someone recovering from typhoid fever."

"That same excuse again!" Ye Tuo cursed. "Open your dog eyes and see clearly where you are! This is where the flames are growing! If the flames are destroyed, do you think your excuse will save our master from killing you?!"

Those who contracted this disease at the altar simply died, but if this nameless disease spread to the guardians of the flame and caused harm to the flame, they would all have to be sacrificed for the flame!
The doctors said, "That's the diagnosis. If you don't believe it, there's nothing we can do."

Because of the Fire Seed Project, the status of physicians in the Eastern Desert has been greatly elevated. The great physicians who cultivate the Fire Seeds have been deified and are known as divine disciples and great physicians.

Although the two doctors were not divine physicians, they were not afraid of Ye Tuo.

Boom boom boom boom!

The divine drum urges them on, telling Ye Tuo and the others to hurry up and set off.

Yesuo could only say, "Aku, quickly go to your master to make a decision. Should we send someone down to get more firewood?"

"Yes!" The trusted aide Aku ran the fastest, immediately rushing out of the mountain to find Shi Junnu.

Not long after they left the mountain, they encountered Shi Junnu and took him back.

Shi Junnu was still wearing a leather mask, but even though his expression couldn't be seen, Ye Tuo knew how terrible his face looked. He quickly knelt down and reported the whole story.

Shi Junnu glanced at the exhausted men and said directly, "You stay here to hold off the enemy. Don't bother looking for the fallen flames. Just pour pine resin on them and burn down the flame cultivation site."

"The rest of you, protect the Flame Guardians and set off to rejoin the main force!"

The hundreds of exhausted men were shocked and looked at Shi Junnu. Yataku also felt a little sorry for them and said, "Master, they can still fight."

Snapped!
Shi Junnu lashed out with his short whip, striking Yetuo, and said in a deep voice, "This is a military order. This is to be loyal to the Eastern Desert and to contribute to the great cause. All those of Eastern Desert blood must carry it out to the death!"
