Chapter 367 An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

Sophia was very surprised by Roger's words, and asked involuntarily, "Why?"

Roger didn't say much, but just motioned Sophia to go to the box by herself. 【】Dragon Girl leaned over curiously, and immediately showed a look of disgust, and felt that the hairs on her back were all standing on end.

The chests were full of jewels, jewelry, and gold coins and things like that.Originally, for Sophia who likes to collect treasures, seeing these things will only make her feel happy, and she will definitely not feel disgusted.It's just that among these jewels, there are many creepy things.

These things have withered fingers, torn ears, and even a few blood-stained gold teeth!Anyone can tell at a glance that these jewelry are ripped from other people.The murderer didn't have the patience to take these things off the victim's body, either cutting off the other's fingers or tearing off the victim's ear, just to get the loot faster.

Although Sophia herself is not human, she is also very angry at this inhuman behavior.Soldiers in these desert countries are too barbaric, and they don't even have the most basic respect for the dead. No wonder Roger is so angry when he finds the things in the box.

Sophia, who saw these things, also supported Roger's decision, and whispered to him, "What are you going to do?"

"If they rob us, we'll grab it back!" Roger said coldly, "If they kill our people, we'll kill them back; if they rob us, we'll grab more; if they burn our Villages, we will burn their cities, an eye for an eye and an eye for an eye, let these bastards know that they must be punished for doing evil!"

Sophia agrees very much with Roger's phrase "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth". This kind of statement just fits the philosophy of life of the dragon family, so the dragon girl immediately praised: "After I know you, count these few words that suit me best. Well, you are becoming more and more like a real man!"

Roger didn't know whether Sophia's words were a compliment or a mockery, so he just smiled at the dragon girl and said, "I don't want these things, you..."

"Although I like treasures very much, I still have requirements!" Sophia cut off before Roger finished speaking: "I don't want such dirty things peeled off from dead people!"

Roger breathed a sigh of relief at Sophia's words, and smiled gratefully at the dragon girl: "Thank you, I will make it up to you!"

Sophia was obviously not used to Roger talking to herself in such a gentle tone, her pretty face blushed slightly, and she quickly said loudly: "Are you going to stay here forever or leave immediately to take revenge? I don't want to stay here A place to chat!"

"Okay, let's go now!" Roger smiled at Sophia, and said loudly to the south: "Let these desert savages know that no matter what they do, they will have to pay a price!"

Not long after, the two griffins took off from Tianjing Oasis and flew directly to the south at high speed.Next to the Tianjing Oasis, the majestic and majestic castle has disappeared, leaving only more than 2 corpses, occupying a large desert.However, under the action of the wind and sand, these corpses will soon disappear, and soon no one will know that a very fierce battle took place here.

While Roger was advancing to the south, the noble army led by Raikkonen also gathered from all over Seiya and marched towards the border area in mighty force.

The nobles who rushed to Seiya County to support them learned the news of the enemy's retreat a few days ago. At that time, the nobles who were determined to make military exploits demanded to pursue the enemy immediately.However, these demands were all suppressed by Raikkonen with excuses such as "don't be greedy for success" and "the enemy's situation is not clear".

Seeing that it has been more than ten days since the enemy retreated, and I don't know how many scouts were sent out to reconnaissance, but there was no sign of any conspiracy at all.Now the nobles couldn't sit still.It is intolerable for all those who participate in the war to see the enemy who is starved of water and food slip away from him and fail to seize the opportunity.Some nobles even threatened at the military meeting, claiming that if Raikkonen did not order the pursuit, they would unite and act together, and impeach Raikkonen for cowardly avoiding the battle and missing the opportunity after the war.

Under this pressure, Raikkonen had no choice but to order the enemy to be pursued.However, he still delayed the departure for two days on the grounds of preparing supplies.By the time the noble army set off, more than ten days had passed since the third team from the desert retreated.

The nobles, who were eager to fight, yelled and urged their subordinates to speed up along the way, for fear of missing such a great opportunity.Only Raikkonen was a little uneasy, and asked Patton next to him in a low voice: "That man won't come back, will he?"

Raikkonen is right to be so worried.If Roger can return safely, then his mission to attack the enemy's supply lines must be completed.If this is the case, as the commander-in-chief of the army, Raikkonen delayed for so many days before launching the attack. At least one charge of "misjudgment and delaying the opportunity" cannot be escaped.Raikkonen still wanted to use this war to earn some capital for promotion, but he didn't want to involve himself in order to help Patton.

"Don't worry, it's been so many days, this guy won't come back." Barton on horseback said triumphantly: "He may have really completed the task, but he must have died with the enemy. I have already let him People have noticed that he only brought eight days' supplies when he set off, and so many days have passed by now, he must have died in the desert!"

Raikkonen was relieved by Barton's words.As long as Roger doesn't come back, no one can be sure that the enemy's supply line has been destroyed, and it is not a mistake for him to suppress the army and not pursue it.On the contrary, the enemy has retreated now. No matter what the reason is, Raikkonen, the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements, not only made mistakes but also made contributions.

Under the urging of their respective lords, the noble troops quickly arrived at the base camp where the enemy was originally stationed, but it had already turned into an empty ruin, with not a single enemy in sight.So the nobles quickly decided to pursue them. They forced the captives captured in the previous battle to lead the way, and chased them in the direction of Tianjing Oasis.

It's just that if these nobles know that all the enemies they regard as the source of military merit have been wiped out by Roger alone, no matter how hard they chase them, they won't get any benefits, I don't know how they will feel, they hate Luo Jie Jay would still hate Raikkonen for being too slow to act too quickly.

Roger, who wanted to compete with Barton, didn't care about other people's methods. At this time, he and Sophia were flying southward on a griffin.On the distant horizon, the shadow of an oasis has faintly appeared.
