Chapter 33: The Grace of the Divine Beast
But when they heard the screams of the soldiers in the gladiatorial arena, turned around, and looked with wide eyes, the scene they saw was that two white tigers, one big and one small, rushed out of the golden carriage one after another!
You know, the Romans had never seen a white tiger in those days!
Lions, wolves, brown bears, rhinos, ...... They have long been surprised by these ferocious beasts;
Hippos, giraffes, zebras, gorillas...... They are also accustomed to these rarer animals.
The subjects in the imperial capital were the most knowledgeable and broad-minded people in the world at that time. But it was indeed the first time they had seen such a unique "divine beast" as the Bengal White Tiger.
This proud, strong, and wonderful tropical beast is larger and has longer limbs than other tigers. The shiny white hair was covered with jet-black patterns, and when the noble tiger head was raised, it was almost as tall as a sturdy Roman soldier. Every line on their body is soft and powerful, delicate and elegant. Their every move exudes deadly wildness, and they are extraordinarily fit. It was as if they only stood there and did not move, it was already the greatest and most amazing miracle in the world!
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
They want to scream but don't dare to make a sound, they want to jump up and clap their hands, but they don't dare to act rashly. They were both frightened and frightened, and if they missed and alarmed any white tiger, they had no doubt that they would be bitten to death in the blink of an eye.
In fact, there is no need to bite at all, just look at the huge, heavy paws of the white tigers, and you can imagine that when they wield, they can crush all the rocks, not to mention the fragile flesh of humans.
They watched as the "beast" rushed out of the carriage, jumped to the ground, and then stopped there, barking at the great hound a few times, and the great hound barked back a few times. Then the golden retriever suddenly turned around and ran straight towards the open gate.
The two white tigers, one big and one small, followed closely behind him.
"Ahh
"Oh God!"
"Help!"
The subjects guarding the gate screamed and fled in all directions. Some of the frightened timid women ran straight towards the procession, screaming as they ran and screamed what they had just seen.
The great general, who was riding at the front of the procession, watched the frightened crowd run wildly, and his gaze crossed their heads and saw the two "divine beasts" that had rushed out of the gate of the gladiatorial arena and had run past the triumphal arch in front.
"Oh my God, how can this be?" his heart slammed down, tearing his entire ribcage with pain. This is what he has been worried about, and it is the last thing he wants to see. Gainas clearly reported to him that the golden carriage containing the "Divine Beast" was safe and sound, and although the "Divine Beast" made a lot of trouble inside, the impregnable carriage was not shaken at all.
Gainas was following the general's horse on foot, leading him in the reins. He also thought that his men had already assigned everything and ordered it properly, and when he saw the nearly one-man tall and fanged hound, which ran in front of him, he understood.
"This must be Olympius' treacherous scheme," he cried out to the general, pointing at Shag, "that dog who is the bodyguard of the holy rat has always been very obedient and powerful, and the golden carriage must have been opened by him!"
"Damn the old desperate, the cold gun and dark sword he stabbed out will always be overwhelming!" Although the general hated it to the extreme, he could only grit his teeth and face the terrible situation in front of him.
He had to find a way to catch the "Divine Beasts", but what a terrible price did Stirico pay for catching them last time?
He didn't want to think about it at all after more than 20 days of fierce pursuit. What it took so many days to do last time was easy to do, but now it has to be done immediately, and at that moment, as a general, he almost despaired.
If you don't catch the "divine beast", the consequences will be unimaginable. He looked down at the two people standing on the golden chariot behind him, the noble and beautiful mother and son, and found that they were both colorless.
But what he didn't see was that the emperor's face was indeed frightened, and the boy was obviously frightened and stupid, and he was stunned in the car, but his whole body trembled so much, and the queen mother would do the same, but because of extreme excitement.
"This is the best opportunity God has ever given you!" she said in a tone that lowered her voice and was the fastest and most agitated. "See, those two 'Divine Beasts', rush over and kill them, and you will become the greatest and most revered and beloved hero in the eyes of your subjects!"
"What are you talking about?" For a while, the frightened little emperor did not fully understand his mother's words, he turned his head and looked at her with more and more horror, and couldn't help but wonder if she was crazy.
I saw the queen mother stretch out her hand, pull out the sword on the waist of one of the cavalrymen guarding the chariot, and shoehorn it into her son's cold, trembling hands, "Take it, jump off the chariot, and rush up!"
"No, I don't!" the little emperor shook his head desperately.
The Queen Mother glared at him bitterly and angrily, and then pushed her son out of the chariot with another force.
