Chapter 17: I didn't cry
Andrew felt that it must be the light of the sun god that shrouded him, so he was so lucky to find the rumored giant in front of him. www.biquge.info If it weren't for himself and his group of outlaws who happened to climb the mountain, and if it wasn't for the giant who happened to come out to forage for food, he would probably have passed by this giant who was rewarded with a huge amount of money. This is an unforgivable mistake for himself and his subordinates, who have an unusually obsessive desire for gold.
Andrew had a rare gray hair, which was almost impossible for a young Menia. But the fact is that Andrew not only has gray hair, but also has a pair of triangular eyes with gray eyes, a pair of eyes that only a dead man can have! Those gray eyes that exude a dead air at all times, even just looking at you is enough to send chills all over your body! A huge centipede-like scar from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth added a ferocity to Andrew. At a glance, you can understand that this guy is definitely a fierce and ruthless villain who kills people without blinking.
At this time, Andrew and his few outlaws were hanging from the giant's back. That stupid giant didn't have the slightest vigilance, he had already assigned the most clever kid to report to the city lord's mansion, I believe that before the morning, the reinforcements would arrive, right?
Although Andrew is usually brave and ruthless, he is always very calm at critical moments, and this calmness has taken him and his group of subordinates to escape from life-threatening crises several times. So, when the giant was discovered, Andrew did not attack the giant with a reckless headhead, but immediately hid behind a boulder.
After the giant returned to sleep in the little valley, Andrew and his men were relieved to look around. A small valley with only one exit on all sides is a dead place, and if it were Andrew, he would never choose this kind of place with only one exit as a campsite! Andrew seemed to have seen countless gold coins waving at him, and after watching the movement of the only exit from a distance, Andrew anxiously waited for reinforcements to arrive.
The city of Mias is a main city, and although it is called the main city, this city is destined to exist as an acropolis of the imperial capital from the distance from the imperial capital of Menia. Just after dusk, as soon as Sophia and Orum rose to the horizon, a mercenary riding a giant Glenford rat stormed the Lord's Mansion in the center of the city.
People who had just gone out for a walk after dinner were a little surprised, did something happen? Just when the gathered people were still speculating, this time it was replaced by Phyllis Cat Knight, who rushed out of the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion, which usually needed to be closed and would not be opened until a major event occurred or the nobles from the imperial capital were welcomed.
The Phyllis Cat Rider who rushed out didn't even look at the crowd gathered nearby, and urged his mount to gallop towards the Imperial Capital at a speed almost twice as fast as the Glenford Giant Rat. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The Flame and Ice Legions had been preparing for a long time, and now they had finally waited for the news of the giant's appearance. These main legions of the empire, composed of arrogant generals stationed on the border of the empire all the year round, did not wait for the orders of the military department and the meaning of those slow royal magicians, and the two legions gave the order to open almost as soon as they got the news, tacit and efficient!
It was already midnight when the anxious Andrew waited for reinforcements. Although he knew that reinforcements would come, when the two main forces of the empire appeared in front of him, the neat armor, the cold and shining spear forest, the banner that roared in the wind, and the indomitable momentum, the solemn murderous aura made this outlaw, who can usually be described by words such as brave and ruthless, and not afraid of death, obediently clipped his Phyllis cat tail, and did not even dare to make eye contact with those soldiers.
When this "ruthless character", who usually prides himself on seeing the big world, with a lewd smile that is almost stammering, sees the two legion commanders who are guarded in the center in a circle surrounded by hundreds of Phyllis cat knights, Andrew is so nervous that he has forgotten where to put his hands.
When he entered, the surrounding Phyllis cat riders were condescending, looking at his expressionless gaze, the large drops of sweat gushing out of Andrew's forehead gathered and then soaked into his eyes, the salt in the sweat stimulated his eyes, but Andrew didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, the gaze of those Phyllis cat riders made him feel that even if he made some slightly bigger movements, he would immediately be torn to pieces by those cat knights with terrifying murderous aura and eyes, Andrew could only blink his eyes hard, Expect the tears spurred by the pain to take away those damn sweats.
"What's wrong? What are you crying about? One of the two legion commanders who was looking down at the map looked up when he heard the footsteps, and just in time to see Andrew, who was glistening with tears but trying to maintain a lewd smile, being brought in by his own captain, and the expression of crying and laughing made the centipede-shaped scars on his face almost twisted and tangled.
"I didn't cry!" Of course, these three words are just roaring in my heart. Andrew's heart was bleeding, could he tell the Legion Commander that he was scared by those Phyllis cat knights? The cold image that he had built up with great difficulty collapsed.
Hearing the legion commander ask himself personally, Andrew, who was a little flattered, hurriedly rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hands, shook his head and said that he was fine.
After stammering to the two distinguished generals after explaining in detail the nearby terrain, the valley where the giant was located, and the information that there was a Meenia beside the giant, watching the legion commander wave his hand to himself and signal himself to go out, Andrew finally breathed a sigh of relief, and escaped out of the defensive circle formed by these cat knights.
"At least, 10,000 gold coins should be in hand!" After being frightened and intimidated, Andrew could only comfort his wounded heart in this way.
The news that there was a Menia beside the giant did not arouse any interest among the two legion commanders, and it had become almost subconscious for those who had been in high positions for a long time to ignore the existence of small people. They don't care about the life or death of a Menian who doesn't even know his name, and they don't care about the fact that the giant has never taken the initiative to hurt or attack anyone or a city in the Menian Empire since he appeared on this continent. In their eyes, even the giants are just the target of this military operation, nothing more.
Therefore, the two legion commanders were interested in the valley where the giant was located, just like the conclusion given by Andrew after the previous investigation, the valley with only one exit is indeed the place of death, and the smooth and steep cliffs in the valley are more than ten meters high on three sides, not to mention the Menians, even the giants don't want to climb up. In this way, it seems that the only exit can be blocked and the giant can be trapped in the valley.
The Flame and Ice Legions did not immediately attack the sleeping giants in the valley, but kept an eye on the movements in the valley while sending soldiers to collect firewood, even the trees that had just been cut down, everything that could be burned! After piling up the collected fuel at the mouth of the valley and sealing the mouth of the valley, a large amount of grease was poured on it.
Now, everything was ready, just waiting for the logistics baggage crew to bring over the heavy bed crossbows and trebuchets, and the heavy weapons had to be deployed before the giant woke up at dawn, otherwise there would be no means to stop the giant from escaping.
The sky has already revealed a touch of fish belly white, Sophia and Orum The two moons have completed their mission for the day, yawning and falling into the sky.
In this darkest hour before dawn, Xiao Yang dreamed, and in the dream he returned to the home he had been thinking about day and night, to his parents, who had gray hair on their temples. Parents are here, not far away. The traditional virtues handed down by the ancients have been deeply precipitated in Xiao Yang's bones and integrated into his blood.
Tears have unconsciously wet the corners of Xiao Yang's eyes, those are tears of joy, those are tears of longing, Xiao Yang in his sleep cried with joy.
