Chapter Fifty-Nine: On the March
Recently, I read a historical novel, which is very cool, although the slap in the face plot is a bit like that at the beginning, but I still want to recommend "Little Traitor", friends who read history can take a look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The crimson setting sun cast a red glow over the barren Yellow Crossing of the Western Wilderness, and several huge black dire wolves were chasing a gray mountain dog.
Suddenly, the dog's front paws went limp, and he fell to the ground untouched. The dire wolves whined excitedly and surrounded it.
In the face of such a large and large number of its kind, the mountain dog's originally towering ears were obedient and obedient, with its belly facing the sky, its front paws shrunk to show obedience, and its stiff tail wagged and wagged, bringing up a lot of grass clippings.
A dire wolf approached it and sniffed with its nose. The mountain dog, which was wheezing with its tongue out because of its long run, quickly licked the nose of the dire wolf when he saw this.
If this scene were seen by merchants who often traveled to and from the western wilderness, their jaws would definitely drop!
The mountain dog, a hybrid of a coyote and a dog, is known to be extremely nasty, and although they do not live in groups, this cruel and cunning creature will always follow travelers and attack them when they are unprepared.
A loud wolf howl was heard in the distance, and the dire wolves looked up into the distance, and then left the mountain dogs without looking back. Seeing the dire wolf leaving, the immortal mountain dog quickly turned over and stood up, and disappeared into the dense weeds with his tail between his legs.
"Smack!" The large pack of dire wolves is like a migratory herbivore, black and oppressive, with occasional howls or dog-like whistling sounds, and occasionally two males arguing. Soon, though, the loud sound of the whip slamming the air through the air made them honest.
The dog trainer wielded the long leather whip in his hand, like a shepherd, and rode a tall wolf under the protection of the wolf king, driving away this huge wolf pack. From time to time, a few howls came out of the wolf king's mouth, and there were dire wolves leaving the wolves in groups to reconnoiter ahead.
Xiao Yi rode on the horse, looking at the dire wolf with a hare in his mouth, running past him under the chase of his companions, and the frightened horse sitting down was in a commotion, and quickly tightened the reins in his hand, and scolded in a low voice.
"Sometimes I want to stew and eat these bastards!" Xiao Yi calmed down the mount again and said viciously to Sharif.
He was not good at riding, but under the mischief of these dire wolves, he was dismounted by panicked mounts several times, and several pieces were bruised on his body.
Sharif smiled bitterly, but it was difficult to answer, after all, it was his own strong request that the Dire Wolf Brigade joined the queue this time.
Not to mention how these wolf beasts are difficult to control on the battlefield, their role in the forest and mountains is very large! Foraging for food in such a small space is their innate talent!
Think about it, who would pay special attention to a wolf beast in the forest? Especially when this wolf beast finds you, it passively "frightens" and thus leaves?
By the time you're camping, these natural jungle hunters will probably have gathered a large number of companions to attack while you're not looking!
They may not be as good as cavalry on frontal combat, but these beasts under your control are the best jungle guerrillas! Whether it's reconnaissance or ambush! Sherif who has been living in the Elwyn Forest for a few days will of course bring this useful and cheap class with him!
So something happened that made Xiao Yi grit his teeth, although under the constraints of the dog trainer, the injury incident did not happen, but along the way, these guys actually stole and ate the herdsmen's free-range livestock from time to time!
And as a striker, no critter can escape their palms wherever they go! The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth, who had been eating air-dried meat and sausages for several days, foamed!
---------------------------
Yuri took the shivering little lamb in his arms, and then stopped the only two goats in the house, and picked up a lump of dirt from the ground quite angrily, and threw it hard at the dire wolf who was staring at him.
Yuri isn't afraid of these guys! The entire Wild West knows that this seemingly ferocious and cruel beast is nurtured by a benevolent lord, and that the lord will not harm his people!
Not far away, a group of dire wolves passed by and looked at Yuri for a while, and at the sound of the dog trainer waving his whip, the dire wolf licked his mouth and reluctantly gave up the delicious food.
Yuri looked up proudly, a smug smile on his face, as if he had defeated some terrible enemy.
"Hey!" After a large number of dire wolves passed by, the continuous convoy appeared in Yuri's eyes, and he put down the little lamb in his arms, he waved his arms excitedly, and greeted them loudly.
"Hey! Bub! How are you? Looking at the half-grown children waving to him on the hillside not far from the roadside, Xiao Yi stepped on the stirrups, staggered to his feet, and waved.
Although he didn't hear what the other party was saying clearly, the sharp-eyed Yuri still saw the black-haired boy led by him clearly, seeing that he was wearing gorgeous tight leather armor and riding a mighty mount, Yuri was sure that this must be a noble lord!
Seeing the aristocratic lord smiling at himself and waving to say hello, Yuri was very excited! Even the few freckles on the tip of his nose shone in the light of the setting sun!
"We're resting in the village ahead tonight." After greeting him, Xiao Yi said to Sharif: "I don't want to hear anyone crying to me that our dire wolf has eaten his livestock!" ”
"As you wish, my lord!" Shrugging his shoulders, Sharif immediately called the herald and asked him to arrange for people to go to the village in front to report the news, as well as inform the team behind.
Soon, a village surrounded by a wooden fence appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes, this is a small village, built by Xiao Yi's people, because of the lack of stone and wood, so this village is the same as most of the newly built villages in the Western Wilderness, it is made of adobe houses made of rammed earth, and the overall yellow village is extremely harmonious with the Western Wilderness.
The village elders and the captain of the garrison were waiting at the entrance of the village, and with them were all the villagers in the village!
In just a few minutes after the arrival of the heralds, the whole village knew that the merciful lord was going to spend the night in the village! The villagers were boiling.
Although troubadours (Xiao Yi's propaganda team) could always be heard praising the benevolent and great lords, they had never seen them with their own eyes!
Everyone here has received the favor of the lord, not to mention those who have planted wheat and belong to their own land, all of which have been given by the lord!
So after hearing the news, the villagers all turned out the few exquisite foods in their homes, changed into not luxurious, but clean and tidy clothes, washed the mud off their faces, and under the leadership of the village elders, they went to the entrance of the village together to welcome the arrival of the lord.
