Sareth had no intention of disturbing Wulai. In the traditional Assyrian concept, it would be strange if a rare young talent like Wulai did not have some romantic affairs. Shelley was indeed a senior clergyman, but the temple only prohibited clergymen from having families openly, but there was no taboo in private because everyone felt that it was reasonable for clergymen to have some private lives, as long as they were not too excessive, such as too public or too embarrassing.

But Sales had to disturb Wu Lai again, because the two scouts they captured were too unusual. In addition to their monkey-like appearance and long arms that almost touched their knees when vertical, they actually climbed up from the bottom of the cliff without the help of any tools. This was undoubtedly shocking.

But the most important thing was that these two were scouts of the enemy army. As everyone knew, scouts knew much more than ordinary soldiers, and Sales also knew that Hulett's scouts were very "stubborn". In the past, there had never been a case where a Hulett scout spoke out useful information - they usually received a very special training that could help them faint when they needed to, and once a person fainted, torture would basically not be effective on them.

Just as Sarres walked more than ten steps, Wu Lai caught up with him. Sarres saw that he looked nonchalant, and while secretly admiring him, he quickly apologized. After all, he felt a little bad for disturbing Wu Lai's good deeds.

"It's okay. I'm the military commander. If something like this happens, I will be notified immediately. I just arrived and I plan to discuss with High Priest Shelley about praying for an oracle for my Salt Marsh Army."

Sarres wanted to say "I can't help you saying that", but that was obviously a disrespectful behavior, because he was no longer responsible for Shelley's safety, but became a cavalry instructor under Wu Lai. Even without this new relationship, he had to ensure that he respected Wu Lai from the inside out - this was what the High Priest Saint Lean specifically told him before he left.

Wu Lai knew that Sares would not believe it, but this was Sares's business, and he was too lazy to care so much. At this moment, in addition to being curious about the two scout captives, he also felt a little reluctant.

Why don't I just ignore the scout issue for now? Wu Lai sighed softly, feeling that he had let Shelley down.

…

Inside Wu Lai's tent, the Manggu brothers were sitting against a pillar with their hands tied behind their backs, looking depressed, yet with a hint of panic that they could hardly suppress.

Before today, the two of them had never been captured, but that didn't mean they didn't know what they would encounter after being captured, such as torture, or torture that was more horrible than torture. If they were lucky enough not to die, then their best fate would be to be slaves for life. No, it couldn't be a lifetime. They would probably be tortured to death by their new masters soon, because with their looks and physiques, they were not even qualified to be slaves, and would definitely not be liked by their new masters.

Speaking of which, the two brothers were really unlucky - after climbing up the rock wall sweating profusely, they crawled for a while under the cover of night and soon found a sunken earth pit. The distance between the earth pit and the defense camp was just right, and there were large tracts of bushes and grass around it, and outside the bushes and grass were the firelights of the defense camp. This place could not only hide the figures of the two brothers, but also provide a good view. It was an excellent observation point, and Mangku was excited for a moment because it meant that he and his brother no longer needed to take the risk of detouring into the forest to get it.

But before the two brothers could see the outline of the defensive position outside Li Yuwai, they felt a pain in their backs at the same time. They could hardly breathe, as if they were crushed by a huge rock. They were frightened and reluctantly turned their heads to look. They saw a hazy, huge white animal head with a pair of cold eyes emitting a faint green light.

A beast?! The two brothers almost fainted from fright...

With Mengbao here, there are no wild beasts in the defense zone. Ever since this guy came to the defense zone and led his troops to hunt every now and then, the wild beasts in a large area around have died or moved away, and have become extinct long ago. Now Mengbao has to run dozens of miles away to get fresh meat if he wants to eat it.

Therefore, the one who stepped on the Manggu brothers could only be a cute baby.

The pit chosen by the two brothers was actually dug by Mengbao, specifically for storing its prey. Occasionally, it also serves as its dining table. Of course, this depends on its mood and hunger level. If it is too hungry, Mengbao will not wait to bring its prey here.

In fact, Mengbao had already discovered the Manggu brothers. At that time, it was lying on a big rock more than a hundred steps away from the brothers, enjoying a fat pig rabbit. When it saw the two people crawling stealthily, it thought they were people from the special forces camp doing some training. When it saw the two people crawling into its pit, it understood their identities - enemies.

No one in the Salt Marsh Army would do this, because one day before the Woye Army retreated, a few fools in the Woye Army found a few spotted deer piled in the pit, and happily carried them back. But before they could skin the spotted deer, the cute baby knocked down their tent...

That evening, after Wu Lai finished a meeting with commanders at all levels of the Woye Army, he specifically reminded everyone to take good care of their soldiers after returning and not to approach the pit.

After a while, Meng Bao drove the trembling Manggu brothers into the camp and threw the two unlucky guys to several special forces camp teenagers who were training their strength at the edge of the camp...

…

After Wu Lai sat down behind the desk, he glanced at Mang Gu, looked him over, and asked, "Are you two brothers?"

Mangku nodded quickly, while Mangku shrank back behind his brother because he felt that Wu Lai's gaze was like a sharp sword, which made people afraid.

"Are you two slaves?" Wu Lai asked again.

Mang Gu nodded again, and the two guards beside him immediately shouted, "Assholes, how dare you two not answer the general's question?!"

"Don't scare them." Wu Lai waved his hand to send the guards away. He could see that the two men in front of him were different from ordinary Hulett scouts. For example, they did not have the stubbornness and tenacity of the soldiers of the Hulett First Legion. Instead, the fear and desire to survive were clearly revealed in their eyes.

"Yes, General, we are slaves." Manggu did not dare not speak, but Mangku behind him lowered his head even lower.

"Did you two climb up from the bottom of the cliff?" Wu Lai had actually asked this question to both Sares and the special forces battalion, and both received affirmative answers. However, this matter was too unbelievable, so Wu Lai could not help but ask it again.

"Yes, General, we are good at climbing cliffs or other high places." Manggu replied.

Wu Lai nodded: "Want to live?"

"Yes, General, we want to live." Manggu immediately straightened his body.

"I do, General." Mangku's voice was lower than Manggu's.

"Okay." Wu Lai nodded again, "If you want to survive, draw me a picture of your army's camp layout. Any questions?"

Mangu lowered his head and said nothing, because Wu Lai was asking him to betray his master Hugo Simon.

"Don't want to?" Wu Lai frowned slightly, his eyes rolled, and he slammed his right hand heavily on the table, "Come here, drag the one who has been silent out and nail him to death as a warning to the public!"

"No, General!" Manggu's voice was filled with panic, and Mangku behind him almost cried out of fear...

"Hmph, are you still bargaining in my salt marsh camp?" Wu Lai slammed the table again, and then threw a look at Sales and others. How could these people not understand? They immediately pretended to agree, took a big step, and grabbed Mangku with a "ferocious face".

"Brother, brother..." Mangku was immediately horrified and turned pale.

…

"Anyway, it's almost dawn now, she must be asleep already," Wu Lai thought.

"Besides, I've been busy all day, so I need to take some time to rest." Wu Lai shrugged and stood up.

"It's better not to go. What if she just had a spur-of-the-moment decision and her passion has faded now? Wouldn't it be boring for me if I went?" Wu Lai frowned and scratched his chin.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

——After a great ideological struggle, Woolley gave up his plan to go to Shelley.

"Rest, rest..." Wu Lai stretched his neck while walking to the back of the big tent, where there was also a curtain. Behind the curtain was a passage blocked by a fence and curtain. At the other end of the passage was his sleeping tent - another big tent.

This layout is in line with the Assyrian ruling official residence's custom of having public areas in front and private areas in the back.

Like Shelley's tent, Wu Lai's tent was also surrounded by guards, but unlike Shelley's guards who patrolled back and forth with knives and swords, they hid in the dark quietly because the guards were members of the special forces company.

After lifting the curtain and entering, Wu Lai took out a match and lit the candle. When the candlelight came on, he glanced around as usual, and then, he was stunned.

Because Shelley was sitting upright on his bed, looking at him with a smile.

She did not wear the priestly garments that everyone was used to seeing, but decorated herself like young women of the Assyrian nobility - her hair was loosely tied behind her head with several brightly colored ribbons, and on the outside she wore a light pink cloak decorated with silk rose patterns, which just covered the knees and had soft fur ruffles on the edges.

Under the windbreaker was a translucent coat. The coat seemed a little tight, making Shelley's already protruding chest even rounder. Therefore, Wu Lai's eyes had to move upwards a little, but unconsciously fell on Shelley's jade-white neck...

"I cut open your tent with a knife because I wanted to give you a surprise..." Shelley stood up and walked slowly.

"It's indeed a surprise." Wu Lai greeted him with a smile.

"It's almost dawn." Shelley walked up to Wu Lai, reached out his hand, and gently hooked his belt.

"Yeah..." Wu Lai answered and licked his lips involuntarily.

"So..." Shelley gently touched Wu Lai's earlobe with his lips, "If you want, please hurry up..."

With his arms around him, Wu Lai had already embraced the burning body in front of him...

The moment Woolley covered her lips, Shelley let out a long, pleasant hum from her throat...

…

As dawn approached, Hugo Simon began to feel a little tired. The failure of last night's attack was within expectations and the losses were not great, but his more than one hundred men could not even hold their ground, which inevitably made him feel a little embarrassed.

Therefore, he would rather not rest and come up with a practical new plan, so as to destroy the interference arrangements of the defense forces to the greatest extent in the next attack, and provide more guarantees of victory for the formal attack.

Why haven't Manggu and Mangku come back yet? Hugo Simon stretched and thought, if you want to win the battle, you naturally have to know as much as possible about the enemy's defense deployment and troop deployment. This is why he sent the Manggu brothers, because only this pair of brothers can do it.

Just as he was thinking, the guards outside the tent came to report: "General, Manggu is back."

Hugo Simon was immediately delighted: "Quick, let them in!"
