Chapter Twenty-Four: Emmen Karahau
While the two were talking, suddenly the roar of weapons and beasts came from a distance outside the camp, "Hmm!? Alert! Extinguish the bonfire! The escort prepares the crossbow, tell the scouts to check on it and see what is happening!"
The deputy leader hurriedly walked back, and the guards who had just slept in the carriage were woken up one by one, and Pan Lazen pulled out the scimitar at his waist and pressed Little Hook back to the carriage, "Stay honest, I can only come out after I call you." With that, he turned and walked out of the convoy, the wind and snow would not be big, and the snow-covered earth provided some vision, and the old Panlazen leaned on the carriage and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
I saw a few people riding horses from a distance, and it could be seen that this was a chase, or maybe a multiple chase, because behind a few horses there was a group of black shadows up and down in the snow, and it was very difficult for the horses of that group of people to move forward in the snow, the snow was very thick, at least nearly one meter thick, and these black shadows behind were all more than half a meter above this height, "Is it a wolf pack!" Pan Lazeen looked solemnly at the people behind him.
"Crossbowmen prepare, when the wolves are in range, shoot freely!The people in front, let them stop 50 meters away!"
Because the snow was too difficult to march, both sides did not advance fast, and soon approached the temporary camp, Hook and their eyes were better because they were downwind, and when they could see the general outline of the other party, those few people found everyone, and then an old man in the convoy took out a round thing from his backpack and whispered to everyone: "Close your eyes!
The black ball was thrown out by the old man, and the direction was the position of the wolves that were rushing forward, and boom! The black ball burst, emitting a violent light, and suddenly the neighing of horses, the curses of people, and the miserable howls of wolves resounded.
The deputy team leader opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the wolves, and shouted, "It's now, let it go!" Boom! Boom! Whoosh! Whoosh! ......Whoosh! The sound of crossbow arrows being fired rang out, and the miserable howl of the wild wolf came in pieces, "Keep shooting, shoot as much as you can, don't let a wolf go, or there will be * annoyance! Hurry!" Everyone continued to shoot, and soon the howl gradually subsided, the deputy leader waved his hand, and everyone stopped shooting.
Old Pan Lazeen, a thick alchemy musket in his hand did not put it down, he raised the gun and looked carefully for something in the snow in the distance, "I found you!" As soon as the old man's words fell, he saw that the runes engraved on the alchemy musket began to light up, and with the huge gunshot, the metal projectiles engraved with complex patterns rushed out of the muzzle with the huge gun flames.
On a raised rock in the snow in the distance, a silver-gray giant wolf showed its body, the giant wolf seemed to realize the danger, turned its head and was about to flee, but it was too late, at the same time as its foreboding, a huge gunshot rang out, and the alchemy bullet hit its neck, poof! The huge kinetic energy tore through its thick fur, tough muscles, steely spine, snort! The fur, muscles, and bones of its neck spun and spread outward, and the whole wolf's head was broken! The wolf corpse spun and fell into the snow.
Panrazon exhaled, pulled the bolt of the alchemy musket, and withdrew a bullet case with a diameter of nearly 3 centimeters, the bullet case emitted a faint green smoke, spun and fell to the snow beneath his feet, and the landed shell evaporated a burst of heat.
Pan Lazen took another orange bullet from his pocket and pressed it into the chamber of the gun, and continued: "Advance 50 meters and surround them." โ
Everyone held a crossbow, slowly greeted a few people who had just recovered from blindness, at this time the deputy leader asked people to light a few torches, under the reflection of the torches, the figure of several people gradually became clear, the closest to everyone was an officer, dressed in an imperial military uniform, with a wide military cloak on the outside, the war horse under his crotch had obvious military horse characteristics, at the moment was pacing in place, snorting white gas in the mouth and nose, obviously a lot of physical exertion, the officer on horseback was holding the reins with one hand at this time, and the other hand was tightly holding something in his arms, everyone continued to approach only to find that it was a girl, at this moment the girl seemed to be frightened, and was constantly shrinkingใ
Looking further back, the remaining few people were obviously pursuers, because they were all wrapped in their faces, and they were all tied with some ropes immediately, as well as the delicate crossbow on the arm that was obviously used only by killers, the slender black sword at the waist, and the hood that wrapped the head all had a mark of an evil eye, obviously belonging to the same organization, at this moment they also regained their sight, and when they saw the people who surrounded them, they immediately turned their horses and prepared to retreat, and the soldiers in front shouted when they saw this: "Don't let them go!
Old Pan Lazeen was stunned when he heard this, "Huh, catch them!"
Seeing this, one of the assassins immediately took out a piece of black crystal and was about to throw it into the ground, the deputy team leader was quick-eyed, and the crossbow arrow that had already been ready to fire shot away! The crossbow arrow accurately hit the man's wrist, and the black crystal fell out of his hand, and everyone was shocked when they saw this, and they all fell to the ground, poof, the crystal fell into the thick snow, and nothing happened......
Seeing this, the assassin was in a hurry, and desperately rolled off his horse and threw himself at the crystal!
The Assassin's hand didn't touch the crystal, and he hung his head in astonishment, seeing the tip of a sword emerging from his chest.
It was the soldier on the horse who struck, and at this moment he was slowly retracting the hand he had just thrown out his long sword, and Pan Lazeen no longer hesitated, "Kill them!"
Soon several assassins were shot into hedgehogs, and Pan Lazen asked everyone to quickly clean up the battlefield, and he stood in front of the soldiers, "Dare to ask this general, can you explain?"
The soldier only breathed a long sigh of relief at this moment, he turned over and dismounted, picked up the girl on the horse again, looked up at Pan Lazeen and said, "Thank you, despicable Emmen Karahau, Brigadier General of the El Empire, this is my daughter." After a brief introduction, he stopped talking, and when the elder Panrazern heard this, his eyes condensed slightly, and he looked at the little girl who was huddled aside.
"Your Excellency General, please go to the small camp in front of you to rest first, this young lady should have frozen. Panrazane gestured to the convoy that was forming in a circle not far behind.
"Thank you," said Emmen, who nodded and bent to pick up the little girl, as she walked back with old Panrazen.
When they entered the camp, they made a new fire, and put the unfinished stew on the bonfire and heated it, and Panrazane threw a few pieces of wood into the fire, and then turned and found a barrel and sat down.
"I know what you want to ask, I can tell you some of what I can say, but I ask you to keep it a secret, because there is no tangible evidence to prove that what I said is right. โ
Five days ago, I withdrew from the front to the positions on the Western Front. The Imperial Army's raid on the rear of the Kshatriya Demon Kingdom failed, and the plan to prepare for half a year was in vain, and the supply line was also cut off by the Kshatriya knights, so we had to give up the plan to advance westward, and retreated to the position on the western front in a roundabout way, and our route seemed to be leaked on the way to retreat, and was intercepted by the Kshatriya army repeatedly, and the troops were divided into three divisions, I led one of the troops, intending to detour from the south side of the O'Hari Mountains, but unfortunately our whereabouts were always captured by the pursuing troops, and when approaching the southern foot of O'Hari, we were ambushed by the army, because of the huge disparity in military strength, I could only order to disperse and break through, as a result... You saw it too. โ
"I prefer to believe that there is a problem with the troops on the Western Front than there is a problem within the empire, but now there are all kinds of signs that there may be a big problem within the empire, I must rush back to the imperial capital, and the marshal is now under a lot of pressure..."
"Thank you again for your help, but this is a dangerous area now, and I advise you to hurry up and stay overnight, the Kshatriyas are sweeping nearby, and you may be spotted at any time. โ
Emon looked up at the dark night sky and said, "I must hurry up to the imperial capital, I need your help in something." โ
Emmen stretched out his hand and pulled the little girl over, "Xima, Dad has something important to do and needs to hurry back to the imperial capital, you follow this grandfather, Dad will go to you as soon as he is busy and pick you up to see Mom." She-Ma is very nervous at the moment, but she understands her father's character since she was a child, and everything she has experienced with her father these days has made She-Ma feel deeply uneasy, she has admired her father since she was a child, and she knows that what happened to her father this time is unusual, she has never seen her father so anxious.
Shema looked at her father and nodded reluctantly.
"Old, named Gru Panlazen, the general can find my information in the Imperial Capital Disc Athletic Alliance, our destination this time is the territory of the new duke, where there is also our branch, but... Wouldn't it be too hasty for the general to entrust his children to the old man with such peace of mind?"
Emmen smiled and shook his head: "Although you and I are meeting for the first time, and even I have only just learned your name, I can feel your noble soul. After speaking, Emmen reached out and touched his daughter's hair, helped her tighten her clothes, and a slight sadness appeared on her brow, "At least, now she is more likely to survive with you than with me!"
After speaking, Emon got up and walked to his warhorse, "I have to go, the sooner some problems are solved, the less harmful it will be!" After saying this, Emon turned over and looked at his daughter, he gritted his teeth and turned the horse's head to leave.
"General, you wait a minute!" After speaking, the old Pan Lazeen took out a skin bag and a burden from the carriage behind him, pulled a rope next to him, skillfully tied the two things together, and threw his hand to Emon who turned to look at this side, "Use it to ward off the cold on the road, at least it will allow you to support it for three days, and the child will be placed here with me, don't worry, there will never be a hair missing!"
