Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 180 The Betrayal of Weeping Blood

The snow hit Stannis in the face, melted quickly and trickled down his neck, and now it was snowing again.

But he didn't care at all, instead he felt that the snow was timely, because he was dying of heat.

In front of him, a group of blue flames burned into a thin barrier. In order to test how long the pupil oil could burn, he picked a two-finger wide groove with his sword and poured a spoonful of pupil oil, and it burned half an hour...

"This thing is really resistant to burning." Stannis felt that the essence of human essence is indeed the essence. According to his precise calculation, he came to the conclusion: if the full barrel of pupil oil is poured into a 500-foot-long, 10 In a trench that is 5 feet wide and 4 feet deep, it can burn for [-] hours. These fires can prevent the enemy from crossing the trench, and this will also be the limit time they can hold on.

Rhodok's soldiers were struggling to dig the tunnel, and Stannis noticed that 10 of them formed a team, and each person carried different tools except weapons, which allowed for a better team division of labor.

On the contrary, the Erathians on the hillside were huddled and trembling, and Stannis heard more than one complaint that they should follow the fleeing lords.

Fortunately, it's only winter now, so the ground hasn't frozen yet, but even so, digging such a huge trench with only one afternoon seems far away with just two centurions.

So Stannis decided to help, and he went like Enrique, hoping that he would order the lords to send their men to help the Rhodoks dig a ditch.

After he said this, Enrique Jr. still maintained his original dementia, and it seemed that he had been crushed by frustration.Stannis had no choice but to look up to Seaworth next to him for help, but the old man could only shake his head apologetically to show that he couldn't help.

When the other lords heard what he said, they shook their heads like a rattle, asking them to help the deadly enemy, it would be better to kill them.

"Anyway, we're all going to die when the river freezes, so why bother to do such a useless thing?" Wayne finally changed into the look that kept killing people's interest, and spoke out everyone's aspirations.

Even Stannis' men didn't respond to his call, sitting powerlessly on the ground.Especially Robert, this guy was lying on the snow pretending to be asleep and snoring.An angry Stannis wanted to kick him across the river.

But he knows the truth of leading by example, these people became like this because they lost the hope of life, and what he can do now is to tell them never to lose hope, because...he really doesn't want to die!

Thinking of this, Stannis took off his coat and jumped down the tunnel, took the hoe from a Rhodok soldier, and began to dig the soil. For a lazy and pampered homeboy like him, he certainly couldn't do it. This kind of heavy work does not even know the basic movements of holding a wooden handle. After throwing it funny a few times, he found that a smear of soil did not loosen. He wiped the sweat from his b There were more hands on the handle, he turned his head in surprise, and found that it was Robert's affectionate eyes.

"Boss, for digging the soil, you need to hold it like this to make your strength~" Robert led him to dance the hoe together.

Sure enough, under his demonstration, a deep hole was quickly thrown out. Stannis was very surprised. Farm work is quite fun.

"Although I am very grateful to you for teaching me how to dig the soil, don't you think it's very basic for you to stick so close..."

Inspired by Stannis' actions, his soldiers and Barrow's soldiers gradually began to join in the digging operation. Finally, before the sun set, a trench that completely blocked the front of the hillside was finally completed, leaving a trench as originally planned. At the same time, pour all the pupil oil into the passage, and when it was ready, Stannis and the others called it a day.

As soon as he returned to the camp with the hoe on his shoulders, he found the priest who was treating Barrow IV rushing over.

Could it be that little brother Barrow died!The thought flashed through Stannis' mind.

"I have good news for you. Your Excellency Barrow has woken up, but he wants to see you now, immediately!" said the pastor.

Stannis, who hadn't tasted the joy, was then pushed into Barrow's tent, and found that Barrow was lying on the blanket at this time, his left leg had been completely amputated, and it was wrapped in a white bandage. He was very pale from blood loss, but Barrow didn't seem to be seriously injured, and his life should be safe.

"Little Barrow, you survived! I was worried for a long time just now." Stannis shouted in surprise, and he never mentioned the other party's loss of a leg.

Barrow also forced a smile, "Stan, I've heard about you saving me just now. If you weren't so desperate at that time, I might have died."

"Don't say that, if you survived, it means that the gods are still unwilling to accept you, so no matter what happens in the future, you must live well!"

The big man didn't speak anymore, Stannis seemed to be hesitating in his heart, one thing has been bothering him, making it difficult for him to speak.

"There are only the two of us here, just tell me if you have anything to do." Stannis guided patiently.

In the end, Barrow made up his mind and said, "Actually, the last time I challenged you to a duel was not because of my fifth brother..."

Stannis looked very confused when he heard this sentence. The last time Barrow IV proposed a duel because Barrow V was bedridden by his predecessor Stannis and revenged himself.

"My brother was defeated by you one-on-one and fairly on the battlefield, and our Bafulou family will definitely not hold grudges for this."

"Then why did you act like you wanted to eat me that time?" Stannis was even more surprised.

"That's because...that's because..." Barrow hesitated a lot, but finally he mustered up his courage and said, "That's because Miss Aniste asked me to find fault with you and challenge you to a duel."

Undoubtedly, this news hit Stannis like a bolt from the blue, "Annister? Which Annist? Is it the Annist of my fiancée!"

Barrow nodded affirmatively.

Stannis stood there dumbfounded, his mind confused.What's happening here!How could my little Annie find someone to fight against herself?Maybe I will be beaten to death in the duel field!It turned out that the so-called going to the tavern was planned by her alone. She deliberately pretended to be ignorant and arranged the show. If God hadn't blessed her, the grass on the grave might be three feet high now.

"But...but why is she doing this!" Stannis still couldn't believe it.

Barrow shook his head to show that he didn't know, "Miss Annist heard that I was in Baili City, so she came to me and asked me to do everything she said, and at the same time she threatened me not to say anything about it. Go out, otherwise it will be bad for my family. But now you saved my life, no matter what I do, I have to tell this story..."

Stannis couldn't hear a word of the following words. He really couldn't figure out that his fiancée who had always been cute, clingy, and innocent had such a terrible side. It turned out that all these good things were pretended in front of him.

Do you want to betray yourself even with the closest people?
