The misty forest in mid-May is full of life, and Cassius finds that there are many animals that have never been seen before, some of which look cute on the surface, such as the big-eared monkeys, which will stare at you from the trees with big watery eyes, but if you let your guard down, be prepared for the dry food to be stolen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Some animals look fierce, such as the fiery red Dudu bird, which is actually very timid, and has a body as fat as a chicken, Anderson shot one with a bow and arrow, and Cahew tasted it, it was firmer than chicken, but a little sour. But Captain Aldington said that the Rangers were happy in the forest, and that it was better to eat bird eggs and snake meat than to eat nothing in the desert. So Cassieu no longer fantasizes about the dough bird with bacon and lemon juice.

After entering the giant's territory for a week, Cassius has seen all kinds of animals in the misty forest, but he has not seen even the giant's hair except for the giant's dung, and he doesn't know if it is lucky or unlucky. After saving Anderson, the Rangers' attitude towards Cassius was much better, and the cold Ed still spoke bitterly, but at least there was no longer contempt. Cassius had gotten to know the Rangers and had learned some of their experiences.

Eddard is his nickname, Ed is 38 years old this year, when he was 18 years old, forced to make a living, he became a robber in the mountains, but he was caught, and the lord saw that he still had some fighting skills, and asked him to swear to join the rangers, otherwise he would cut him with a knife. Ed is bitter and doesn't seem to be happy with anything, and his complaints range from being too taxed in the Empire, to being too thin in Sam's corned beef soup, or sarcastically mocking the Rangers' newcomers for being as dull as wood.

Anderson is the oldest, 50 years old, relying on the old and selling the old, laughing at Ed for being a daughter-in-law for many years, and now it is his turn to mock the newcomer. Anderson, a native of a small castle in the eastern part of the province of Gascanic, took up his sword and joined the battle, but his lord was killed, and he fled into the Stars Mountains, not daring to go back, so he swore to join the Rangers.

Grant, 40, likes to flex off his muscles, and in his free time, he likes to grab tree trunks and practice pull-ups, Ed said Grant wants to be a big-eared monkey. Grant served as an infantryman and fought against the rebels in the province of Menor. It was the 78th year of the imperial calendar, the 22-year-old Grant was strong, with excellent physical fitness in the battle, he overturned 3 enemies, captured a horse and some equipment, and was promoted to a military cao, but the corporal was afraid that he would make too many meritorious contributions and threaten his career, so he tried every means to slander him for embezzling military salaries, and Grant left in a fit of anger and was accused of desertion. Compared to the others, Grant's experience is most similar to that of Cassiu, and he confesses that when he met Cassiu, he was disgusted by Cassiu's rank of Lieutenant because the corporal had given him the shadow of the Imperial Army. Cassieu sympathized with Grant and fully understood him.

Gagliardi has a strong personality, he is already a one-eyed dragon, and insists on guarding the right side of the team - he only has his right eye. He used to be just a miner, and he couldn't stand the exploitation, so he killed one of the mine's overseers and escaped.

William is only 20 years old this year and knows a little about herbal medicine and medicine, but his family does not have the money to let him go to the school city to continue his education. He couldn't get along with his friends in the town, and the other boys were always bullying him with knives and guns, and he was angry and said that he wanted to be the bravest ranger. As a result, the boasted Haikou was covered with water, and it was hard to recover, and he went to the Qunxing Mountain Range head-on.

Captain Aldington is 40 years old, and at the age of 21, he participated in the Empire's knightly tournament. "Hey man, I've grown up riding horses, riding over mountains and practicing horse attacks. In terms of horsemanship, the group of wives and knights in the province of Meno can only be regarded as a parade. Captain Aldington's ice-blue eyes were smiling, and he boasted, "If I hadn't been afraid of hurting the crown prince back then, or the emperor today, I would definitely win the championship." ”

"Cut, no one saw it. The cold Ed retorted to him, "I heard that Prince Auguste was so powerful that you could hurt him with a war hammer?"

"Captain, are you a knight?" Cassiu interrupted their conversation.

Captain Aldington's ice-blue eyes dimmed a lot, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "It used to be." It wasn't until I was later discovered by the church that I believed in the old gods, and they stripped me of my knighthood, so in order to keep my family and territory, I swore an oath to join the Rangers and gave the inheritance to my younger brother. ”

Cassius doesn't want to dig up scars anymore, every Ranger has a scar in his heart, are you stupid? Cassiu, you're like a long-tongued woman, digging into people's privacy. He changed the subject: "The prince of Auguste, now emperor, gathered an army of a million and won the war for a year. ushered in the centenary of the empire. ”

"I heard that he had become an alcoholic. Those of us who have been wronged, exploited, and deprived of knightly qualifications end up working for drunkards. The cold Ed was full of resentment.

"Shut up! Eddard, the Ranger swears allegiance to the Rudolph family. The captain was displeased, his ice blue eyes were colder than Ed's face, "We just have to guard the Great Wall......"

"Roar, roar, roar......" A terrible roar was heard not far from the forest, accompanied by heavy footsteps, getting closer and closer.

"Rangers, prepare for battle!" Aldington looked back at Cassiu, "Magician, hide behind and protect yourself first." ”

Out of the forest rushed a giant about 4 meters tall, dressed in animal skins, with hair long above his shoulders and gray and wrinkled skin, holding a stone axe, shouting in his mouth, startling the birds in the trees and flying away.

Grant shot his bow and arrow, and the arrow pierced the giant's chest, but he didn't care, and ran at full speed, and with a jump, the ground was smashed into a big hole, and after a pause, and then another horizontal split, Grant's horse was so frightened that it stood up. Cassius struggled to hold his horse and kicked the spurs, getting around the giant's front.

"Spread out!" Aldington and Grant drove forward from the left, Ed attacked from the right, and the one-eyed Gagliardi roared, "William dodge behind me!"

The giant slashed the giant axe from top to bottom, and Grant, holding the sword in both hands, took the axe abruptly, lost his balance, and fell off his horse. The giant's left hand grabbed the horse's neck and chopped off the horse's head with another axe. The smell of blood filled the air, and Ed's horse fell to his knees in fright, throwing Ed off his horse, Ed cursed, and continued to rush forward with his sword.

Annoyed by Gagliardi, who was constantly shooting arrows, the giant pushed Ed away, and Ed staggered to the ground. The giant rushed towards Gagliardi, Gagliardi kicked the spur, pulled the reins, twisted the horse's head, the giant grabbed the horse's hind hoof, and ripped the horse's right hind hoof alive, Gagliardi fell to the ground, and the giant cut off his leg with an axe.

What the hell am I doing?, Cassiu drove his horse forward, chanting a spell, and a ball of fire encircled the giant's shoulder, and he wailed in pain, and swung his stone axe at Kasiu, and as Cassiu's pure white shield blocked the blow, he felt a numbness in his left arm.

Aldington drove his horse and slashed the inside of the giant's knee, causing the giant to scream and swing his stone axe backwards.

"Hit the joints!" Aldington roared, pulling the reins to position the horse to avoid the second attack of the stone axe.

"Damn it, big monster!" Grant jumped to his feet and plunged his sword into the giant's waist. The giant screamed and punched Grant, who flipped a few times on the ground and was blocked by a tree before stopping.

The giant roared, his bow and arrows stuck in many places, his sword stuck in his waist, and blood flowed all over his thighs, but he grew more and more angry, and pounced on the frightened William.

With a wave of his hand, the ground bulged with an earthen wall, and the giant was puzzled, and punched the earthen wall, and when it hit it again, the earthen wall broke, and Cassiu's fireball pounced on his face. He screamed, covered his face, and ran wildly.

"Kill him!" Aldington pulled the reins, took the lead, and stabbed the giant into the other side of the waist, and the giant turned around, and after knocking Aldington away, he finally fell with a bang.

There was a dead silence all around. Ed picked up Grant, and Cashew picked up Aldington to Gagliardi, where William was sitting beside him crying. Gagliardi's right calf was ripped off alive, revealing the white bones inside, and the bloody muscles were dripping with blood, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.

"Why! Why are you fucking bastard coming along!" Grant punched William in the face, "You could have shot an arrow to buy him time to escape!"

William twitched the corners of his mouth, grabbed his hair, and cried without saying a word.

Grant picked up his sword, and Aldington took his hand.

"I'm going to kill him!" Grant roared, breaking free of Aldington's hand and slashing down, Caxiu's longsword blocking the blow.

According to his own understanding, Cassius persuaded: "In the long fate, everyone can find their place, although William joined the Rangers, but combat is not his strength, medical skills are." ”

"Then he's good for him!" Ed said gloomily.

"Destiny also gives everyone their own destiny. Kahieu crouched down and stroked Gagliardi's forehead, "Gagliardi died a glorious death. ”

"It's a good sentence to die a glorious death, why don't you die!" Grant nudged Cassiu, "He's my brother!"

Kahew bit his lip and sighed: "During the one-year war, a million people died. I watched my brother die every day. ”

"So you're used to it?" Ed snorted, "I already knew that you must be the kind of bureaucracy that came from the military headquarters of the capital, where millions of lives were lost, and living bureaucrats were promoted and rich. ”

"Shut up, Ed!" Aldington roared, "what Gagliardi wants to say. ”

Everyone fell silent, and Gagliardi was angry, but his tone was firm: "Go back and tell my brothers that I died a glorious death." Don't grieve for me, brothers, it's the Ranger when the Giants invade the Empire. ”

Aldington nodded, his ice-blue eyes full of anger, "Well said, brother. "What else was he going to say, Gagliardi had already closed his eyes.

A moment later, everyone gathered in front of Gagliardi's grave, one by one sprinkling a pile of dirt over the cemetery, and they repeated the Ranger's oath: "We are the spear of Thor, the lightning in the darkness, and we are all brothers, and we will never leave the empire, and we will not leave until death." ”

Kasiu suddenly remembered that during the war year, when he first encountered the polar people at Ice God Peak, a similar sadness and anger welled up in his heart. I should have struck sooner, I have more experience and an advantage over them against huge enemies.

Cassiu, you bastard, what kind of "white devil" are you?
