Chapter 34: Returning by Night
As Xu Kang guessed, after the big wild boar who was kicked awake by him woke up, he did not attack him directly, but looked at him with a puzzled look-
What are you calling me for? Is it time to eat?
Because the master-slave relationship had been established, Xu Kang immediately felt the idea of the big wild boar, so he became a little crying and laughing again.
"Ma Dan, you guy is really a pig, in addition to eating, he is eating, yes, it seems that Lao Tzu is in a good mood, so I will let you eat enough today!"
After saying that, he took out dozens of magic breads from his space backpack and threw them all in front of the big wild boar.
The big boar obviously remembered this delicious food, and when it saw so much magic bread thrown in front of him, it immediately howled excitedly, then lowered its head, shook off its cheeks, and began to eat.
As it ate, Xu Kang also felt its joyful emotions, and at the same time found that the connection between him and it became more solid.
This made him feel a sense of enlightenment.
"It turns out that taming beasts in this world is the same as in the game, you must use food to increase intimacy!"
After realizing this, he suddenly had a bold idea - to build a beast regiment!
To be precise, to build a beast army composed entirely of wild boars!
He thought this way for three main reasons.
First, wild boars are very common animals, whether it is to catch adult wild boars by taming, or to buy wild boar cubs back to domesticate, it is quite feasible.
Second, wild boars are not picky eaters, they are easy to feed, as long as they are fed magic bread, according to their current "productivity", there is no problem at all in feeding dozens of wild boars at the same time.
Thirdly, the wild boar's defense is high and the attack is high, and if the adult wild boar charges in armor, not only the survival rate is greatly improved, but also the enemy's archers and infantry can be greatly deterred, and even directly break their formation!
Xu Kang even dared to be sure that if there was such a "charging squad" composed of dozens of wild boars, then there would be basically no problem in defeating the same number of enemy troops, and even more could be won with less!
It can be called a magic weapon for small group encounters in the wild!
Thinking of this, when he looked at the big boar in front of him who was trying to eat magic bread, his gaze suddenly softened a lot.
Immediately, he reached out and patted its head.
"When my wild boar army is established, you will be the boss with dozens of junior brothers under your hands, and it will definitely not work without a well-known name, I decided to give you a good name...... Yes, the big name is called Pig Strong, and the nickname is called Xiao Qiang, what do you think? Jack bauer? ”
"Hum Hum Hum ......"
……
Xu Kang was busy taming the pig and choosing a name, but he didn't know that Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng in the military camp at this time were anxious because he had not returned for a long time.
When he left the barracks before, Xu Kang left a lot of bread in the big tent, there were a thousand pieces, and almost the big tent was piled up, and Zhang Cheng also took people to move it for a while before finishing it.
After moving all the magic bread away, out of etiquette and respect, Zhang Cheng wanted to thank Xu Kang in person, but because the latter went out to "wander" and did not return, he could only wait outside the tent.
And this wait, I waited until the middle of the night.
At this moment, even if Zhang Cheng is stupid, he knows that something is wrong.
But in the face of such a situation, he didn't dare to make a noise, so he could only quietly tell Zhao Hong the news, and then the two went separately to look around the barracks.
The result was obvious, none of them found Xu Kang in the barracks.
At this moment, the two of them were completely anxious.
Before the army reached its destination, it first threw away the main general, and said that this was called poor protection and a capital crime; At worst, it is a murder of the main general, and it is a big crime to be beheaded all over the house!
It's just that no one else can know about it, especially the soldiers in the army, because once they do, it will be a 100% mutiny!
If it really evolves into that consequence, the result waiting for the two of them is still a dead end!
Thinking of these consequences, the two of them were so anxious that they were restless, like ants in a hot pot, and they didn't know what to do.
In the end, the two really had no choice, so they could only choose a method that was not a way - one stayed in the barracks to stabilize the morale of the army, and the other went out to find Xu Kang.
This is obviously the most thankless method, and the chance of success is very slim, but now the two have no choice but to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
It was Zhao Hong who was going to go out to find Xu Kang, before leaving, he and Zhang Cheng got better, if he didn't come back before dawn, it means that he didn't find anyone, and then let Zhang Cheng fend for himself.
To put it bluntly, it is to let Zhang Cheng escape for his life.
Thinking of a well-behaved court official, although he is not a high-ranking official, he can be regarded as worry-free, but in the blink of an eye, he is about to become a wanted criminal, and the two of them can be said to have mixed feelings in their hearts at the moment.
And just when Zhao Hong stepped on the war horse and was about to embark on this "road of no return", a faint sound of horses' hooves came into Zhang Cheng's ears.
If it was daytime, he might not be able to hear clearly under the interference of various sounds, but it was the middle of the night, so he heard it.
So he hurriedly called Zhao Hong.
"Brother Zhao, wait a minute!"
With that, he immediately threw himself on the ground and put his ear to the ground, listening attentively.
Hearing this, his face suddenly became very strange.
"There is a horse coming over to the queen, there seems to be something besides the horse, the speed is very fast, it is coming soon, Brother Zhao, hide quickly!"
Zhao Hong still knew about Zhang Cheng's hand to hear the sound and distinguish the horse, so he didn't hesitate after hearing his words, immediately took off his boots and stuffed them into the mouth of the war horse, and then led it to hide behind a big tree.
And Zhang Cheng also found a tree to hide, and tightly grasped the handle of his sword, and then looked intently in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from before.
Soon, the originally subtle sound of horses' hooves became very clear, and the sound of horses' hooves clearly reached the ears of the two.
At the same time, the two of them also saw clearly through the bright moonlight.
Under the cold moonlight, the two found that they had been looking for Xu Kang in the middle of the night, riding a domineering military horse covered in armor and with a hideous horn thorn on his head.
And in front of the horse's side, a huge boar at the height of his shoulders and the level of his horse's back was also running wildly with its hooves.
Its sheer size made the earth tremble slightly as it ran, and at this moment it was like a faithful escort, escorting its master.
Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng have never seen such a scene, and when they saw this scene, the two of them immediately gasped together.
"Hiss......"
