Chapter 125: Southern Forest: Part I
"Then this matter is up to you, Major Lawdales, and I will contact Major Cole from Diana's agency as soon as possible to deal with this matter. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Alvin finally relaxed.
"Sergeant Bates, I hope you can tell Rear Admiral Cole that our navy has actually done its best, not because we don't want to kill the sea beasts on the bottom of the sea, but because most of the navy has been sent to the other side of the sea in Fran. Major Dyers said apologetically.
"I see, Major Dyers, don't worry too much, I'll tell our Major General Cole about the cause and effect of this matter, and the safety of the Tsukicho Cathedral tonight is thanks to you. Alvin said heartily.
"This is what we should do, Sergeant Bates, don't be too grateful to me, I'm going to check on the carcasses that I just caught, and I'll send someone to open the cans." Major Dyers hung up the magic communicator.
Dick brought the can opener on the navy ship, and the nobles who usually needed to be very careful in their meals were all delighted, and opened the can with the can opener, because they had been hungry for five hours, so these convenient foods that were originally eaten by the soldiers of the army were now one of their delicacies, and they all ate them with relish.
Corporal Bills finally found Alvin in the crowd, only to see him with a tired face and said, "Sergeant Bates, Miss Herrok just had a high fever, but I finally found you, so let the doctor show her quickly." ”
"What, Miss Herrok actually has a high fever, where is it, I will go to him at once to find a doctor. Alvin said with an anxious face, not long ago, Cyril asked him to help take care of Miss Herok, and now Herrok has a high fever, and he is still under this poor environment.
Alvin hurriedly went to find Nina, who was preparing to rest, and said in a solemn tone: "Miss Bei, our captain's sister has a high fever now, let you go and help as soon as possible, do you have many medical supplies now?"
"You said the lady on deck has a high fever now, I'll go over and take a look. Nina said softly, stood up, and walked to the place where Herok was resting, Nina leaned down and touched Herok's forehead, and found that it was indeed very hot, as if it had been baked by the blazing sun, and her cheeks became very red, but her hands were very cold, and she kept saying nonsense: "Gurashia, don't go, that woman is a bad woman." This phrase is repeated all the time.
Nina frowned and said, "Miss Herrok has a high fever now, and we need to have fever medicine, but we just left the Doris in a panic, and the medical items on it are too late to carry, and the food now is better to have some light soup and noodles, or porridge." ”
"You mean that there is a need for fever-reducing herbs now, but there are barren mountains and mountains here, and there are no villagers nearby, where are we going to find herbs?" Alvin also said with an anxious expression.
"Didn't you say that there are medical supplies from the Xingchen Town Government? There will definitely be some medicines that can treat high fever, but it can't be too long, it's best to take the medicine before the early morning, otherwise it will cause other discomforts to the body. ”
Nina said with a frown.
"The medical supplies from the Stellar Town Government may not arrive until after early in the morning, so what should we do now?" Alvin asked with an anxious expression.
"This is Tsukiki Town, and there is a small forest called the Southern Forest next door, but sailors in the coastal area of Rose Town will come here to pick scarce herbs if they encounter them on the way to sail, and there are many herbs in the forest, but I heard that there are giant apes, so many people need to bring shotguns even if they go to the southern forest to pick herbs, just in case. Nina said softly.
"Giant ape, it's the first time I've heard of it, but there aren't many people here now, and the navy outside still has to fish for the corpses of nobles, who can pick herbs, if I leave here, there will be no one to take care of anything. ”
Alvin said with an anxious expression.
"I'll go, after all, there's no one to go here now, and for the sake of Miss Herok, I have to find the herbs, and I have a shotgun and a pistol, and a military thorn, so it's not a problem to deal with the great ape. ”
Corporal Bills volunteered.
"But the great apes there are very cunning and ferocious, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go alone?" Nina said with a frown.
"But if I don't go, Miss Herrok will be in danger, isn't it, Miss Bey. Corporal Beers asked.
"Well, Corporal Bills, since you are so brave, then I will not stop you, if Miss Herrok is saved, then I will definitely tell Lieutenant Ruyue, you may be able to get promoted, I will find a few more people to go with you, it is always better to have one more person than to act alone. ”
Alvin said.
"Are you willing to go to the small forest with Corporal Bills to help pick herbs, if you do, our Lieutenant Ruyue will definitely reward you in the future. Alvin said to the tired sailors.
But no one wants to go, because I heard that there are many beasts in the southern forest, the most terrifying is the giant ape, the legend says that the giant ape is 3 meters tall, and knows how to observe human behavior before attacking, compared to other beasts that only know blind attacks, it is much smarter, because the giant ape, the villagers who venture to the forest to pick herbs and flowers in the town of Yueji, many of them are buried under the attack of the giant ape, so many people in the southern forest dare not approach, unless some hunters with superb marksmanship or well-equipped army.
Seeing that the sailors were all reluctant to come out to help, Alvin looked anxious, if Bills went alone, it was likely to be equivalent to letting Bills die, but Herok's condition could not be delayed.
"I'd like to go with him, Sergeant Bates, but I need a large shotgun, and a pack of cigarettes. Gu Laxia stood up, his unique cold temperament, and a pair of cold and charming Danfeng eyes made some noble ladies next to him look sideways.
"Great, wait, here's a shotgun, and here's a pack of cigarettes. Alvin was very pleased to bring the shotgun he had on his body and the cigarette in his pocket to Gurashia.
"If the two of you go together, remember to keep in touch with me, if you accidentally encounter a giant ape, don't fight hard, remember to run away desperately. Alvin said in a solemn tone.
"I see, Sergeant Bates, we'll keep in touch with you. Corporal Beers said.
Gurasa and Corporal Bills left the Tsukicho Cathedral and came to the southern forest one after the other, in the dark sky, a bright full moon hung on it, and the forest was silent, only the crows were making hoarse calls, which could not help but make people feel very frightened.
Gulasha held a shotgun in his hand and a katana hanging from his waist, he walked in front, while Bills was a little worried and walked behind, although he did volunteer to come over, but after coming to the Southern Forest, he already felt that he didn't dare to come out, and his legs were weak, although he was an army, but he was a soldier who was particularly timid, and the reason why he could become a corporal was entirely because he accidentally saved the life of Major General Cole in a combat activity before, so he was promoted to a corporal, otherwise with his ability and courage, he was not even as good as an ordinary third-class soldier。
Corporal Bills looked around, his shotgun in his hand tightly, and even the crows hovering above the sky felt particularly frightened, lest the crows suddenly swoop down and peck at his skin and eyes, while the Gulasha in front of him walked with a relaxed face, as if he were walking, and took out his cigarette and lit it, and in the darkness of the night it gave off the light of a spark.
Beers was very envious of such a bold person, so he walked over and raised his voice and said, "Hello, are you also a soldier?"
Gurasa turned his head and said in a cold voice: "I'm not a soldier, I'm a nobleman. ”
"You are a nobleman, where are you a nobleman, I thought that the courage of the nobles was very small, but I didn't expect that there were bold people like you in the nobles, I really admire it, in comparison, my courage is very small, I don't know why I still want to be a soldier." ”
Corporal Bills said with a depressed expression.
"Since you are so timid, then why did you volunteer to come to the Southern Forest, you didn't know that there were giant apes here, and they were very fierce and cunning giant apes. Gulasa said coldly.
"I was forced by my father because my brother had some health problems, but before every family needed a man to come out to recruit soldiers, so I had to come instead of my brother, in fact, I was very timid, I was reluctant to step on ants to death, let alone let me kill the giant ape. ”
Corporal Bills said with a frown.
"Then why are you still here to pick herbs, you are not called a brave soldier, but a coward who is not capable of doing anything, you know?" said Gulasia coldly as he exhaled white smoke.
"But I can't look at Miss Herok in danger, and Lieutenant Ruyue has been so kind to me that of course I have to repay it. Corporal Bills said with a big smile.
"But if you stand out and pick herbs, do you know what herbs look like, do you know what mint is, what violet is, what borage is?" asked Gurashia coldly.
"What, mint, violet, borage, I don't know any of them, what should I do, wait a minute, what if I come here with all my hard work, and I pick back useless herbs?" said Corporal Bills with a headache.
"I said you, you don't have the courage but you have to be strong, it's not like this for heroes to save beauty, you don't even know the most basic herbs, what if you pick back some weeds?" Gulasha said coldly.
"I'm dead, then you should know it, it's good that you come along, otherwise I don't know anything, maybe I'll be scared to death before the giant ape appears." Bills said, clutching his chest.
Gulasia smiled coldly and said, "Do you like that Miss Herok, otherwise you would have ventured so much to come here, and there must be no more suitable reason than to like him." ”
Bills blushed slightly and said, " You're really powerful, you actually know that I like Miss Herok, you're right, I've liked her for two years, but there are many people in our army who like Miss Herok, but I'm just an ordinary corporal, and I'm from a poor background, so I don't have the opportunity to contact Miss Herrok at all, not to mention that she is the daughter of Earl Ruyue and Princess Elizabeth, she must have grown up in a golden wire cage, and she must marry a very extraordinary noble young master in the future, an ordinary corporal like me can't do anything else except silently like it, and can't even confess。 At the end of the day, Corporal Beers was very disappointed and sad.
"You are really a coward, why can't you confess if she is a nobleman, don't you know?Miss Herok's father, Count Ruyue used to be just an ordinary samurai, but he got together with Princess Elizabeth because he saved Princess Elizabeth's life, so for you, nothing is impossible, isn't it. Gulasia said with a cold smile.
"Really, I know this story, but I can't be Count Ruyue, he used to be a valiant soldier, unlike me, he was afraid of everything, even the first shot and the first time he threw a grenade, so I couldn't do it. ”
Corporal Bills said with a little inferiority.
"Actually, you don't have to be inferior, if you like someone, you have to be brave enough to confess, you don't have to hide it in your heart like this, and since you will take the risk of picking herbs for Miss Herok, it is enough to prove your sincerity to her, which is much better than her marrying any noble son who owns mountains of gold and silver. Gulasha said.
"But in fact, Miss Herrok has a sweetheart, and she is still calling the name of the noble prince even when she is in a high fever and coma, so I don't even have a small chance. Bills said with a sad face.
"Really, who is she like?" asked Guraksha nonchalantly.
"That man's name is Gurasia, yes, it's called Gurasia, because Miss Herok has called Gurasia's name many times since she was in a coma, but this young master is not here tonight, otherwise he would have been very distressed if he knew that Miss Heroc liked her so much, don't you say?" asked Bills.
