Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Great Migration of Beasts

(Ask for a recommendation ticket.) )

…………………………

"My Emperor, to the west of the Bloodstained Grand Canyon, there are large-scale beast herds."

The next minute, the scout's report fell into Aaron's ears. As for the exact number, the scouts are just a return, "dense - countless!" ”

Hearing this, Aaron reflexively pulled the corners of his mouth, a trace of helplessness, and tried his best to hide it under the seemingly indifferent smile.

It seemed to be funny, but it was actually a bitter smile, and the hidden lines on his face were squeezed a few times, but in the end, he didn't laugh at all.

"At the cost of 10,000 men, I took down the Kodo herd. Soon after, the annual migration of beasts broke out. ”

The corners of Aaron's mouth were slightly bent downward, outlining a bit of helplessness and Spartan fierceness.

"Kratos!" A call.

Nothingness beckons, stepping on a crystal symbol, and the figure of Kratos, the king of Sparta, kneels on one knee.

"From now on, the security and defense of the Spartan city will be taken over by the Spartan Holy Assembly. Gather the rest of the Spartan warriors, as well as the able-bodied slaves, and head to the Bloodstained Grand Canyon. For the Spartan city-state, harvest food stocks for the winter! ”

Kratos raised his head slightly, and fell into his view, Aaron's nose was thin, strong, handsome, and straight. It adds handsomeness and majesty to this resolute facial contour.

"Yes, my emperor!"

Staring at Kratos' back as he quickly left.

In Aaron's sight, about 100 ballistas, lined up. Slowly rolled out the weapons warehouse.

It was the Greeks who invented the ballista, but it was the Romans who really pushed the ballista to the top.

This repeater was named the "Scorpion Crossbow" by Aaron. Almost a landmark weapon:

It is constructed to store spare arrows in a V-shaped 'magazine'.

Through the reciprocating motion of a set of gears and chains, the preparation, loading, and firing of the ballista are automated, and the degree of precision is amazing.

The Romans invented this technology, but alas, it was saddled with the notoriety of "wasting ammunition". After a flash in the pan in Rome, it quickly disappeared.

It wasn't until Aaron, through the hands of a Roman, that he reperfected.

In Aaron's eyes. Wood, metal, animal tendons, and ropes can be combined to create such a powerful weapon.

The source of this power is not gunpowder, which is perhaps the best expression of human creativity.

……

Leave where you were and walk down the wall.

In sight. The front and back legs swing to the side at the same time, and the bouncing dryad attendant jumps up and down. He handed a piece of wood to Aaron's hand.

(Thirty thousand dryads, most of whom are female.) Thanks to Queen Gogo's sympathy, the dryads were given the exclusive profession of squire. )

Chosen to be Aaron's squire, the dryad's name is Morning Dew.

Just like her name, Morning Dew looks young and tame. And from the upper body like a human to the lower body like a deer, it is covered with a layer of flowing light veil.

Under the supple bangs, the curved eyebrows loom out. Those big, round eyes were exceptionally bright. Blinking and blinking like a child.

That pretty face while facing Aaron. From time to time, there will be a faint flush.

Take the wooden slip with one hand. Aaron glanced at it, and the carefulness of Queen Gogo made him feel relieved at the same time. This daily life, which he needs to deal with personally, makes Aaron's calm silver eyes carry a special and far-reaching aura. "Gogo is not just a great consul. At the same time, she is also a careful woman. Because of her, the entire city-state can function better. ”

Five minutes later, under the leadership of a special person, the widow of General Viador, a Spartan woman who had just become a mother, stood in front of Aaron.

Young and unmarried Spartan generals had to marry a Spartan girl, which was written into the laws of Sparta.

"My Emperor!"

In sight, the young Spartan mother bowed and saluted, then shook her body slightly, patted the baby in her arms with her hand, muttered a lullaby in her mouth, and the things around her seemed to become sleepily quiet. Her gaze at the baby made Aaron feel serene, peaceful, and infinitely motherly.

In an upright position, Aaron took the baby from the Spartan mother's hand and sat it on one of his forearms, with the other hand supporting the baby's head, neck and back, so that the baby's chest was close to the front chest and shoulders.

Falling into the arms of strangers, the baby does not seem to be afraid, but struggles with big eyes like autumn water, as if there are many small question marks hidden inside.

From these flickering, clear eyes, Aaron saw the shadow of a Spartan warrior wearing a heavy helmet and a shield and carrying a spear.

This is not only the blood of a general, but also the son of the whole of Sparta!

Symbolizes the prosperity and hope of Sparta!

"I will give a name to the blood of heroes! From this day forward, his name is Panson. At the same time, I will also give him a special surname...... Sparta! ”

Aaron's name made the young Spartan mother cry with joy, and at the same time, the body of the Spartan elder on the side was inexplicably shaken.

Later, on his wooden slab, he wrote down the name and carved a key '∧' mark on the back of the name.

…………

Large herds migrate over certain distances due to breeding, foraging, climate change, etc. At this time, the western part of the Savage Continent was already covered with ice and snow, and further east, food and water were relatively abundant. For the herd, the Spartan plain was just a resting stop.

The knights, not only Sparta, but the entire barbarian tribes of the east seemed to be looking forward to the arrival of this great migration of beasts.

The herds migrated from the west to the east of the Barbarian Continent for food, nibbling away all the greenery in their paths and bringing winter rations to the various barbarian tribes.

To the west of the Bloodstained Grand Canyon, the migration of thousands of ungulate beasts is spectacular enough to subvert one's perception of nature.

The herds participating in the great migration are divided into "three armies" in the front, middle and rear, with more than 200,000 four-hoofed wildebeest horses at the lead, followed by millions of running oxen, and 500,000 running antelopes behind the palace.

When the western part of the Savage Continent is covered each winter, millions of herbivorous wild animals form a migratory army and march through the Gobi Desert and through the Bloodstained Grand Canyon to the east.

And this is just the first wave of the great migration of beasts!

"The Savage Continent, because of the great migration of beasts, has become vibrant."

"At the same time, because of the great migration of the herds, they have become barbaric and backward. The Bloodstained Grand Canyon is the end, and from now on, there will be no large-scale migration of beasts in the Savage Continent. ”

A grim command heralds the imminent destruction of millions of living beings. (To be continued......)
