"Who?!" The soldier raised his head, but after seeing the ember on the other side, he quickly broke into a smile.
"It turns out to be Lord Ember, what do you want me to do?"
Nowadays, Huanyu, large and small, can be regarded as an official. It is not an exaggeration for these grassroots soldiers to call him "sir".
"Okay, okay, just call me Ember. My title is temporary, there's no need to be so formal."
Yi Yan looked at the soldiers who changed their expressions in a second, and felt that Liyue's unique skill of "changing faces" was nothing more than that - weren't there many people here in Daozhu who could do it?
"Let me ask, does it usually look like this when a dragon lizard attacks?"
Ember looked up at the empty camp, then shrank back and asked the soldiers.
"It's usually much better than this."
There was another explosion in the distance, causing the soldiers to cover their ears.
"how do I say this?"
"The attack time of this group of dragon lizards was very punctual before! In the morning, when the sun just shines into the basin below, they attack once, and then they attack again three or four hours apart. It's the same old pattern!"
"Why are there still three or four hours between them? Is it possible that you are still going down to fight back?"
Ember was a little confused when he heard that there were still several hours between the dragon lizards.
"Counterattack? We only have so many rebels on Haiji Island. Going down to deliver rations to such dragon lizards is enough."
The soldier waved his hand. The rebels had to patrol and garrison, so there weren't many left to deal with the dragon lizards.
If these people go head-to-head with the dragon lizard, it will have no effect except to slightly alleviate the problem of poor soil on Haiji Island.
The soldier paused for a moment, then continued: "As for why there is a gap between dragon lizard attacks..."
"That's because they're taking a nap."
"..."
The soldier explained the living habits of the dragon lizards to Ember in a serious manner, which opened the latter's eyes.
Chapter 564 The tireless dragon lizard
2024-03-24
"Boom boom boom!"
"No, how long has it been? Why hasn't it stopped yet?"
In the trench, Ember lying flat on the ground looked at the various flashes of light that occasionally flew by in the sky, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"I don't know, maybe the dragon lizard ate something that shouldn't be eaten today?" The soldier on the side said in a vague voice as he gnawed the big cake in his hand.
Logically speaking, the dragon lizard's attack should have stopped long ago - because they should be taking a nap at this time.
But for some reason, the dragon lizard was extremely excited today. Not only did the attack begin before dawn, but they also refused to take a nap when it was time to take a nap.
This forced many people present to have lunch in the trenches.
"We can't let them get arrogant anymore. We'll take advantage of this opportunity to catch all the dragon lizards in one fell swoop!"
Yi Yan waited for a while, but still saw no sign of the dragon lizards calming down. So he climbed out of the trench and shouted:
"Everyone! Come out here, pack your things, and start filming the second act!"
"Isn't it? I think the first scene yesterday was very good?!" Luyein Heizo poked his head out from a distance with a bitter look on his face.
Although the place was noisy, there was no disturbance from the embers. Shikanoin Heizang was enjoying himself reading the files, but he didn't want to be dragged to work as a coolie by Ember again at this time.
"Yesterday was the scene of your 'heroic fight', today is the scene of your 'tolerance and generosity'!"
"What kind of 'tolerance and magnanimity' method?" Shikanoin Heizo saw that he could not escape, but fortunately he climbed out of the trench.
He patted the dirt on his body and came to Huan Yan's side with a speechless expression while holding the photo camera in his hand.
"You shoot first, and I'll tell you after you finish."
"Yes, it's around here, take pictures of them all!" Yu Jin didn't answer Luyein Heizang's question. He just put his arms around the latter's neck and led him to take pictures of all the potholes nearby.
During this period, there were occasional missiles that tried to land, but they were all bounced off by an invisible force.
"Have you finished filming?"
"Finished? What's the use of taking these pictures?" Luyein Heizo looked at the images he took, although it was a bit shocking here. But if you think about it for a moment, you will know that the damage to Haiji Island is not that big at all.
After all, the land here is extremely barren. The pits are exactly the same as those without pits, and nothing can be grown.
"It will be of great use!" Yi Yan looked around, then came over and said to Luye Yuan Heizang: "Let me tell you, people have paid for all these destroyed places!"
"Don't you think it's very tolerant for humans to still have the idea of catching dragon lizards alive under such circumstances?"
Yan Yan rubbed his hands. He couldn't wait to see everyone who had already prepared everything.
When Shikanoin Heizo saw the ember's appearance, he knew what he wanted to do next.
"Yes, you are quite generous. Do you want to go down again? Do you want me to call Paimon and Ying?"
"Nonsense, for sure!"
Shikanoin Heizo left, and Ember began to count the troops.
After a while, everyone who should be there arrived. So the embers did not burn, and even the steps of speaking were omitted.
He just waved his hand and shouted to everyone: "Let's go! This time we are going to pack more dragon lizards! Do you understand?!"
"understand!"
Thousands of people walked down again. The scene was almost exactly the same as yesterday.
……
"Human! Come down!"
"coward!"
"Continue the attack!"
The dragon lizards were still working tirelessly. They changed from their usual laziness and poured all their firepower on the cliff in front of them that blocked them.
"Humans are down!"
The fish-catching dragon lizard glanced around blindly, and soon it saw the smoke rising in the distance. From that look, it must be a human being.
"Charge! Let humans understand how powerful dragons are!"
Excitement immediately swept through the entire group of dragon lizards. No matter whether they were slacking off or trying their best to attack, they all stopped what they were doing.
There is only one thing in their minds, and that is to have a good fight with humans!
The actions on the human side are almost the same as before. After a loud roar, the human side rushed towards the dragon lizard on the opposite side equally aggressively.
Only non-combatants remained in the huge open space.
"Is the location still the same as yesterday?" Paimon asked, holding the camera in his hand.
For Ying and Kanoin Heizou, the camera can be held with only one hand, but due to their size, Paimon can only hold it with both hands.
This makes people wonder if she accidentally broke the photo camera.
At first, Ember thought so too, but Paimon had proven his shooting skills with actions last time, so Ember was very relieved this time.
After waving his hand for Paimon to fly up first, Ember turned his head and gave instructions to the other people.
"By the way, can you two go deep into the battlefield and take more detailed photos?"
Yi Yan recalled the problems that arose yesterday and asked the two of them.
Although the pictures taken yesterday were also very good, in Yu Emen's opinion, there is still room for improvement.
There are too few details there, there should be more!
"I have no problem." Ying nodded without thinking. Ying is very low-key, and she will never show off to others that her strength has reached the point where she can beat up the executive officers - at least for the next few executive officers.
So for her, it was just a trip to the battlefield and not really fighting against the dragon lizards, so it was not too easy.
"I have a problem!" Luyein Heizo glanced sideways at the chaotic battlefield in the distance, waved his hands and took a few steps back.
"what is the problem?"
"Please, I'm just a little fellow. Don't you think about whether I will be trampled to death by a dragon lizard during the filming?"
Shikanoin Heizang complained expressionlessly, although he knew that this was not a real battle, and Ember had prepared many protective measures.
But I don’t know if I can resist the dragon lizard, just in case he is so absorbed in the photo that he doesn’t react. With his small body, if he was stepped on by a dragon lizard, he would probably have to lie down on the wooden board and wait for first aid.
"This is not..."
"what--"
"what sound?!"
The screams came, and Yi Yan and the others looked back and saw a small white dot falling in the sky.
"Huh..., it turns out to be Paimon, who am I?" Ember saw that it was Paimon and immediately wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
If it had been anyone else, he might have been shocked, but if it was Paimon...
Not to mention dead, this little guy's skin is probably very difficult to break.
"Paimon!" Countless lightning flashes immediately appeared on Ying's body, and the momentum was so strong that it even blew away Shikanoin Heizo next to him and made him sit on the ground.
"So..., are you so strong?" Luyein Heizo, who was slumped on the ground, couldn't get up because he was doubting the human voice.
He had also heard of the name of the traveler, but Shikanoin Heizo really didn't expect Ying's strength to be so strong.
Looking at the face of the flustered and anxious girl, Kanoin Heizo drew circles.
It turns out that the genius is right next to him!
"Relax, Paimon is fine." Seeing Ying almost running away, Ember immediately patted her shoulder.
Then Ember's other hand pulled toward the void, and a dizzy Paimon appeared in front of everyone.
"Paimon, are you okay?!" As soon as Ying saw Paimon, she immediately picked her up and checked her carefully.
"Uh..., stop shaking! If you shake any more, something will really go wrong!" Paimon was suddenly shaken awake by the action.
She broke away from Ying's arms, shook her head and said with a stern face.
