Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Journey of Destiny
One second he had chopped down a frozen flesh corpse with a face full of ulcers, and the next his vision was suddenly blurred.
The whirring wind rang in Tocke's ears, and the air around him was so cold that it almost froze him. His hands clutched his 'Sword of Rebirth', his shoulders gripped firmly by the eagle's talons, and he felt empty beneath his feet.
"I feel like I'm flying!" Teucer shouted excitedly, but after taking a puff of cold air rushing in front of him, he immediately closed his mouth, but the excitement and excitement in his heart made him scream after inhaling desperately, "Oh my God! Akana! I've never imagined such a feeling! ”
"It's not that you're flying! We are saved! These giant eagles saved us! The druid's dictation was right! Teucer's ears were Glenn's intermittent screams under the whirring wind, "You have to thank me!" Walker! ”
"Alright! All right! I want to open my eyes and see! Teucer closed his eyes and yelled, "I seem to have wings on my shoulders, and now I'm very close to the long-winged messenger of Arcana!" ”
"It's still early, the Eagle is Forrest's ally! Teucer! I advise you not to open your eyes, you might be scared to pee your pants at the sight in front of you! Glenn's voice was instantly drowned out by the violent howl of the wind that rang in Teucer's ears.
"What do you say? I can't hear clearly! Teucer was almost swept away by an oncoming air current, and he tried to open his eyes, and he slowly opened them a thin slit against the stinging pain of his eyes, as if he was peeping into someone's room through the door.
I said, "Don't! Open eyes! Open! Eye! Teucer finally heard Glenn's shouts, but it was clearly too late to close his eyes.
"I'm going to throw up!" Teucer's vision made him dizzy, and all around him was a white expanse of white land with nothing but the horizon stretching into the distance. As the giant eagle flew bumpy, the distant horizon swayed violently from side to side like a tilted scale. The undulating mountains at his feet were as small as bonsai, and the snow covering the ground was like a natural map, and the snow covered the ground suddenly disappeared as soon as the giant eagle flew over a large mountain.
"Hawk Mountain is trampled under my feet!" Glenn screamed excitedly, "I've only ridden the Giant Eagle once!" Oh ~ Oh ~ Oh ~ Oh - Thrilling and exciting! The vision is spinning! And lo and behold! How small everything is on this land! Glenn excitedly pointed to the grassy trees planted in the brown dirt floor, "The beautiful bonsai snow is no worse than my king's garden." ”
"Don't give me sour! Don't let me look at these things. I've got a five-flavor bottle in my stomach! Just now the wine barrel was poured, now the vinegar jar has been turned over, and maybe the next one to break is the urine bucket! Walker tried his best to endure the vomiting **, "I don't have the heart to listen to your feelings now!" Hey, Glenn, how many brothers do we have left!? ”
"I don't know, there is a vast white area around, except for the 'bonsai' under my feet, I can't see anything else! I don't know if I'm dead now! Oh! The eagle that grabbed Glenn's shoulders suddenly let go of its claws, and suddenly swooped down, and Glenn landed firmly on the eagle's back.
"Glenn, help! The giant eagle threw me away! Falling! The eagle that had grabbed Teucer let go of its claws, and then swooped down at a rapid pace, catching him firmly after a wave of exclamation. Teucer was already stunned by the sudden fall from a height.
"How! It's a rare flying experience! Glenn put his head behind the eagle's back.
"It sucks!" An icy gust of wind forced its way into Walker's stomach with his mouth wide open, "I think I'm going to throw up." ”
"If you spit on the eagle's back, he'll throw you off! Gotta bear with me, man. No kidding. Glenn squinted his eyes and looked around him, as if looking for something.
Teucer's ** tightened, and suddenly relaxed, after a feeling of blood gushing out, the ** flower suddenly bloomed, and suddenly the subtle vomiting sensation disappeared, "My stomach is finally looser." ”
"Hey, Teucer, I see our companions, the other giant eagles in the sky are firmly grasping our comrades from the Einsatzgruppen, but it seems that there are only three of us left, and the others may have unfortunately become one of those 'ЫКел'."
Teucer squinted his eyes in the direction of Glenn's finger, and after some hard work, he finally saw the three surviving teammates Glenn had found, except for the two of them.
"Where are we going to be taken by the eagle now? I felt like I had come to a familiar place. Teucer grew accustomed to flying on the back of the eagle, and he pressed his head to the eagle's back to call out to Glenn.
"I don't know, I just know that the place we went to was definitely not Sheffield!" Glenn pointed to the mountains that appeared in front of him, "There is no such peak around Sheffield. ”
"Highland Mountains! This is the realm of my hometown of Qudebai! Teucer felt that the all-too-familiar Highland Mountains were getting bigger and shrinking, "We are landing on the Iron Ore Ridge connected to the Highland Mountains!" ”
The eagles seemed to have found a foothold, they slowed down their flight, gradually lowered the altitude of their flight, they circled and flew lower and lower, and finally, they landed steadily in a clearing in the mountains and forests like divine soldiers. Teucer knew that this was not Sheffield, but a place all too familiar before—the beech groves of Iron Ore Ridge.
Teucer looked back at the giant eagle, which was twice as tall as himself, and the eagle's sharp eyes kept staring at Teucer, and fluttering its wings from time to time, and after a scream, it carved the following passage on the ground with its sharp claws in the words of the wood elves:
“ЫКелгазо,еммхтиощимотослссцдыоэа,нпо,риакемцмвоелзегтеп。 ЕМ,эатецмнагадшцсгауахок”
Teucer finally understood that the reason why the Giant Eagles had come to save them was to get them deep into the heart of Goodbay and eliminate the unknown source of the threat, not only for the sake of the Wood Elves but also for them - perhaps the Giant Eagle's reason for letting the Wood Elf Ranger die was untenable, but it was the Giant Eagles who saved their team's lives temporarily.
"These eagles will be waiting for us at the top of the highlands at the western foot of Goodbay to complete our mission, just in case the members of our Einsatzgruppen have to blow the whistle to summon them before they appear on the summit of the Highlands - be careful." Glenn's face was ugly, "However, these eagles are not qualified to order us to do anything!" ”
"But we have to do it now. Though their request is strange," Teucer seemed to suddenly remember something, and he stopped talking.
"You Green Mountain hateful guys!" Glenn's face was red, and his white skin was flushed, "We are not the sons of your Eagle King, you giant eagles have no right to order us Wood Elf Rangers to do anything for them, only Baron Wood and Team Legral can issue orders for us!" ”
A powerful giant eagle was obviously enraged by Glenn's chatter, it raised its powerful claws, and just patted Glenn gently, and the wood elf 'imp' Glenn in front of it was immediately overturned to the ground by the eagle's talons, and after he got up in embarrassment, he didn't speak again.
"Glenn, Meck, Dahl, Niang, my brothers, we should be at the Iron Ridge above the Gudebai Mine, and five or six miles to the east of us is my former hometown of Gudebai. The Eagle says that it has become the source of evil, that evil black magic has completely destroyed my hometown, and that the Eagle has asked us to destroy the unknown threat. This will not only prevent this terrible black magic from continuing to spread his evil seeds, but also eliminate the great threat of our Wood Elves and Giant Eagles. When we enlisted, didn't the Wood Elf King also make an announcement that the demons of the Shadowlands had established an outpost in Goodbay? Aren't we joining this crazy team for this reason, hoping for glory? Teucer tried to persuade his team to agree to Eagle's plan.
"But this is a suicide plan! Teucer, you're not in your right mind! We'll only have 5 people left with you! We're well trained, but your place in Goodbay is already overrun by goblins and these inexplicable things, and maybe we can kill five or six goblins by ourselves, and the five of us together can kill two and a half at most. Goblins and other inexplicable things add up to only two and a half dozens? Glenn frowned and objected, believing that the remaining strength of the Einsatzgruppen would not be able to destroy this unknown evil. Meke was silent, the horrible look of his friend Sandro, he always remembers, Dahl shook his head sadly, as if he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and Niang touched the feathers of the giant eagle in a friendly manner, as if nothing had happened, he was only responsible for habitually following orders. As long as the temporary commander says what he does, he does it, in short, thinking is not his business.
"When I didn't go through systematic training, I was once captured by goblins, taken to a cave in Hawk Mountain, and successfully escaped." Tork paused, "Now, we're five Einsatzgruppen soldiers armed to the teeth and rigorously trained. Each of us is one out of ten of the soldiers of the Wood Elves, not to mention that we don't necessarily have to confront them head-on, we are in the dark, they are in the light. ”
"Oh, Teucer! I beg you to stop being blindly confident! The events in Tuang Village were experienced by us together, and we were the only ones left of the dozens of brothers in one morning. Glenn seemed unable to stand Teucer's words any longer, "I know you're trying to persuade us to join the Giant Eagle's plan, and I understand your determination to avenge your town, but there are only five of us!" We went to the town of Gudebay and died in vain. ”
"Glenn, you're right, I want revenge, but I'm not a fool for revenge's sake! There are only five of us, and the plan is dangerous enough, and we don't know if it is the intention of the Eagle King or the Lord of the Baron. However, if we pass up this opportunity to go deeper, even if we can return to Sheffield, what will we face? We will wait quietly for these evil walking flesh to slowly gather outside our Sheffield wooden walls, and then tear down our Sheffield wooden walls like waves pushing sand, and then force us to finally jump into the West Unocal Sea of Sertar or the Unocal Strait of Unocal City, is this the result you expect? Teucer's eyes were grim, his eyes were blazing.
"No, I'd rather die myself than be in the kind of situation you said." Niang was the first to give Teucer an affirmative reply, "I'm the one who counts this dangerous job." ”
"Thank you! Buddy! I'm not going to stop any of you, Glenn, Meck, Dahl can leave at any time if you want to, I'm not going to stop you, and the eagles aren't going to stop you. Teucer pointed behind him to the giant eagle that was spreading its wings and combing its feathers.
"Forget it. Trafigura. You don't know these eagles, they're not that kind! Meke and Dahl reluctantly walked over, "Looks like it's just my two brothers." ”
"Glenn, if you don't agree to join us, please take this blood letter I wrote to Baron Wood. Tell him I'm alive, tell Avena I'm alive. Teucer tore a strip of cloth from the corner of his coat, and he bit his finger and wrote a short cut on the dark green strip of cloth:
“ЫКел,ЗТгкапч。 ТОк”
"Don't worry, I've got a mouth, Teucer! Put away your ridiculous cloth*, you can't use it! Glenn frowned, his whole body looking very hesitant, "As for whether Avena knows or not, I can't guarantee it, but I will pass on the message you need to convey to His Excellency the Baron." ”
"Thank you! Choosing to join your 'Friend of the Wood Elves, Tor Hovent', I have told you about my experience just now, and the only use of telling you this is to illustrate that sometimes it is a matter of luck to survive. If you are too unlucky, you will also be choked to death if you eat the gnome of the Wood Elf. Mek, Dahl, Nyon, I thank you as both Trian and Wood Elf. ”
"Good comrade-in-arms, good brother. We have already been born and died, and what are we thankful for? "Mek, Dahl, and Nyonzi raised the Wood Elf scimitar above their heads.
After extreme hesitation, Glenn finally walked over to Teucer, "Hey, Trian, count me in again. I'm not leaving. ”
"Welcome to this life-threatening journey." Teucer's face was full of excitement, and he stretched out his hand, and the backs of everyone's hands were on each other, "Brothers, I wish us a thrilling and exciting journey. ”
Teucer turned, and he walked straight to the most majestic eagle, and he tied the dark green strip of blood-lettered cloth to the eagle's leg, "НПотгкёогщцд, защегд." He gently patted the wings of the giant eagles, and the giant eagles suddenly took off into the air, flew into the sky, and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
