Chapter III: Confrontation
The whole city has been put under martial law, and there is not a single pedestrian on the street. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info store has also been closed for a long time. Except for the squad of city guards who passed by from time to time in charge of maintaining law and order, only this cavalry team, which numbered more than 2,000 people, headed towards the southern gate of the city.
The area near the southern walls of the city and the rest of the city seemed to be two worlds, with groups of infantry and archers running in neat formation under the leadership of their officers to their rightful positions, and sappers preparing for firing beside the catapults in the catapult position. The coolies piled up the grease-soaked stone balls in the open space near the back of the catapult.
The pre-war tensions hung over all the soldiers and logisticians, and although they still didn't know what enemy they were facing, they didn't have time to think about it. It's just doing it as usual during training under the scolding of the commander.,Ready.。。
This question also bothered Ile, who had been out of the main gate of the south gate for a quarter of an hour. As soon as they left the city gates, 500 giant rat cavalry were ordered by General Aldrich to set out as the vanguard, and their mission was not to engage the enemy, but to be a small tactical force under the guidance of scouts responsible for tracking, harassing, and monitoring the enemy.
And the main force behind General Aldrich is responsible for fighting the enemy head-on, but the main force has already set off for half an hour. It stands to reason that most of the information about the incoming enemy should have been obtained and had already been contacted. But the truth is, Eleliver didn't get any useful information other than to see the general's increasingly serious expression on his face!
As they got closer to the shoreline, Eleliver could already smell the damp and fishy air wafting from the ocean, and after the troops rounded a hill, Eleliver finally saw the "enemy" they were about to face! Half a day ago, Eleliver dared to bet with all his money for the next month that absolutely no "person" could grow so big. But now. . . Eleliver couldn't help but pinch his thigh hard, the pain in his heart reminding him that he wasn't dreaming now.
Everything that happened before his eyes was real, and what appeared before Elevor's eyes was a giant, a giant taller than the walls of the capital! It looks like the giant is injured, and he looks as embarrassed as he is. The wet hair was ridiculously sticking to the scalp, and there was a lot of green unknown seaweed hanging on it, and there was a large very conspicuous wound on the back, and the flesh on the wound was blistered by the seawater! Eleliver felt that if he had been so badly injured, he might have died a long time ago.
The giant was not dead, he was slowly supporting the ground with his hands, slowly getting up, and Elevier could feel the ground shaking because of the giant's movements while sitting on Phyllis's back. The giants, on the other hand, apparently did not notice the vanguard that was lined up a few dozen meters away, nor did they notice Aldrich and his general's guard, who had bypassed a small dirt slope in the distance. After getting up, he faced the sea like this, and showed his back in front of the eyes of all the soldiers of the Menian Empire!
The saying among the Menians that "never expose your back to your enemies, even if you are on the run" sounds contradictory, but it is a lesson in blood. And now, the giant just exposed his back in front of all the Menyas, but none of the Menians dared to come forward and attack, and even restrained their giant rats from making the slightest sound.
While Eleliver was still looking at the giant in the distance in a daze, the giant moved, and he slowly turned his huge body. The giant, who turned around, saw at a glance the vanguard that had already been lined up not far in front of him, but did not dare to attack or make any noise.
Eleliver struggled to resist the urge to make Phyllis turn his head and run away, and for a moment he gently stroked the long supple hair on Phyllis's neck, soothing the mount that clearly had the same thoughts as his master.
Fortunately, the giant did not attack the provocative rat cavalry after seeing it, as Levor had imagined. If the five hundred giant rat cavalry listed the arrow attack formation was not a provocation, then what happened next made Eleliver eager to draw his sword and take the man to the top. No, it was the captain of the pro-soldier who was tall and the big rat and cut it down!
Secretly glad that the giant was not mad, Elivier turned around and saw the captain of the army whispering something beside the general, and he had a very bad premonition at that time. This captain of the pro-soldier who thinks about whipping himself all day long doesn't know what the hell is going on? Eliver, who was still guessing what bad idea the captain of the army was doing, saw the general look at him, only to feel his heart skip a beat, and his back was cold. Really..
"Elevor, go and tell the monster that he must leave the territory of the Menias Empire at once and go back to the bottom of his own sea! Otherwise.. Sure that the general had no intention of opposing his opinion, the captain of the pro-soldier immediately commanded poor Elevor.
How else is it? Attack him? Even if someone is injured, but the shape of the person is there, it's up to us..? Eleliver glared at the captain of the pro-soldier and the pro-soldiers around him who either looked good at the show or had an indifferent expression, and none of the pro-soldiers said a word of justice for Alevor.
Some desperate Eleliver did not dare to refute, military law was ruthless, although this was obviously an order to send himself to death! But if he dared to object, it is estimated that he would never be able to return to that warm and comfortable home in the city without the help of the giant.
In the end, Eleliver still didn't have the courage to disobey the military order! After hesitating again and again, I made up my mind to go, not necessarily to die. If you don't go, you'll die 100%! Gritting his teeth, lightly clamping the cat's belly, Phyllis, who controlled himself, bypassed the vanguard from the right and went straight to the huge figure.
Giant.. Oh no! Xiao Yang watched in shock as a Barbie doll in pocket gothic armor rode a snow-white Persian cat past a group of "mice" and stopped about ten meters away from him, but under the helmet was the face of a man who was somewhat distorted by anger and fear.
And the snow-white Persian cat's slightly rounded cat ears were hidden back, and the two sapphire-like cat's eyes looked at Xiao Yang, the cat's back was slightly arched, the front paws were gently pressed to the ground, the sharp nails had poked out, and the mouth also made a sound of "woo~woo~meow~~" low warning sound! There is a big posture of Xiao Yang who dares to move and Xiao Yang desperately.
"Cat, mouse, cat, mouse, cat, mouse." Xiao Yang, who was muttering, didn't pay attention to the Persian cat in front of him who wanted to fight with him, when he saw a cat running past a group of mice, it was so confident, so natural, Xiao Yang felt that his previous worldview for more than 20 years had some signs of collapse, Nima natural enemy! Natural enemies!!
Focusing his somewhat sloppy eyes on the knight on the back of the Persian cat in front of him, Xiao Yang saw the knight yelling at him. Not English? Of course, it can't be Chinese. Xiao Yang had never heard similar language, anyway, he didn't understand a word!
Eleliver felt like he was dying,! It took almost all the strength of his body to shout and scream before he pulled back the eyes of the stupid giant in front of him. After making sure that the giant did not mean to rush over and kill him, he quickly yelled at Aldrich's request to bring him.
After roaring, he didn't care about the giant's reaction, "I've already told him anyway," Eleliver comforted himself, and lifted the reins around the cat's neck with his left hand.
The Persian cat had apparently been waiting for this command, and upon receiving it, the nails on the front scratch immediately retracted into the thick pads of flesh. I turned left and jumped back almost twice as fast as I had come.
Xiao Yang didn't understand what the male "Barbie" yelled at him, and watched the snow-white Persian cat disappear from the dust, leaving only a fat cat butt and a cat tail that swayed from time to time to maintain body balance.
