Toddlers and Teenagers Chapter 7: The Power of Cavalry
In the dense forest, Sain and I were walking along the avenue in the woods.
The forests here are really lush, and I can't help but feel the scenery along the way.
The air was not bad, and I took a sharp breath and was a little intoxicated, I had never experienced such fresh air in the city in my previous life.
"This forest is called the Verdant Forest, and there are orcs in addition to our goblin life. The terrain here is complex and there are many monsters. We must get to the cavalry camp before night, otherwise we had better find a safe place to rest. ”
Sain, who was leading the way, suddenly introduced me to the forest we were in, and warned me about the danger here.
"This forest is quite old......"
Looking at the tall giant trees around the avenue, I was a little surprised.
Sain smiled when he heard what I said, "Tut, when you see the forest where the elves live, be surprised." The verdant forest is nothing compared to the World Tree Forest inhabited by the elves!"
When I heard what Sain said, my curiosity swelled up. Hearing the name, I felt that the forest in Sayne's mouth was quite large.
"Tut, I'll tell you first. Once you're a cavalryman, don't rush to the World Tree Forest. When those elves see our goblins, they will destroy us. ”
Speaking of the World Tree Forest, Sain's expression instantly became solemn.
"Master, I feel that other races are quite unfriendly to us goblins......" I felt a little depressed in response to Sain's repeated admonitions.
"We do have conflicts with other races, humans see us as mortal enemies, elves don't have a good relationship with us, and dwarves have a neutral relationship with us......"
Seon explained to me how the other races had to do with goblins.
"Tut, the orcs don't have a good relationship with us. We are allies with them in times of war, as long as we do not violate the taboos of their glory in orc territory. They won't bother us. ”
When he spoke of orcs, Sein's face turned respectful, and it seemed that orcs were really reliable allies to goblins.
............
The sky is getting dark, and the sun is fading.
"No, is it already night?!, Tut runs, we must hurry to the cavalry camp!!" Seeing that it was getting late, Sain lit a torch and said to me coldly.
I followed closely behind Sain and watched as the light source on Sain's torch kept running forward.
In the verdant forests, large carnivorous predators are active at night......
Roar!!
A wild roar rang out in front of Theon.
"Tut take your weapon! Be careful!!" Sain admonished me with a serious expression.
I immediately drew the rusty sword from my back and made a defensive move.
Roar!!!
The roar kept approaching us, "It's not good! It's not good!!" Sein broke out in a cold sweat as he saw the beast not far away through the firelight.
It looked like a bear?!!, and my expression became serious when I saw the beast not far ahead.
Its body hair is golden-brown, and the white hair on its head forms a distinctive curved pattern. Its claws are very sharp, and the fangs in its mouth seem to be able to easily bite off a small tree trunk. At this moment, it has also noticed us, and is aiming at us with a dangerous predatory move.
I felt like in the next second, it was coming at me and Sain......
"Hey, this is not the time for Tut to be stunned! I'll delay later, and you keep running forward! Run a little longer and you'll be at the cavalry camp!" said to me grimly.
After hearing Sain's words, my brow furrowed. Isn't he afraid of death?!
"What are you kidding?!do you want me to run away alone?!"
Looking at Sain's expression of being sacrificed for me, I couldn't help but ask.
"Listen to Tut, run now!" shouted to Sain.
I don't know if it was because of Sain's voice or something, but the bear in the distance was rushing towards us at the moment. The vicious look in his eyes seemed to tear us apart.
"Tut, you must make it to the cavalry camp alive...... Sain's voice trembled.
"Come on, you monster!!"
Suddenly, Sain drew his sword and rushed in the direction of the bear.
"Sain ......"
Looking at Sain, who was fighting with the giant bear in the distance, I was staying where I was. Do you want to go to the cavalry camp alone?
Cross Slash! Sain slashed at the bear's back muscles, but there were not many wounds left on the bear's body.
"Tsk!," Sain cursed.
Sain quickly slashed at the bear's shoulder blade with his sword, and with a click, as if something was cracking.
"Roar!!" the bear let out a slightly angry roar, and suddenly the bear slapped at Sein.
"Not good!"
Faced with the sudden movement of the giant bear, Sain had to hold the sword in both hands and try his best to resist the giant bear's paws.
Bang! Sain was flapped out in an instant, and the sword in his hand was also flicked out. The bear was slowly walking towards where Sein had fallen, as if he wanted to have a good meal.
"Sain!!" I ran quickly towards the bear.
The bear spotted me at this time, baring its fangs and letting out a dangerous roar from its mouth, as if to warn me not to move any further.
“... That idiot ......"
Sain, who had fallen to the ground, heard my voice, and his face became very complicated.
I slashed at the bear's legs with my swords, and in an instant two wounds appeared on the bear's legs.
The !!Roaring Bear's eyes glowed red, and it looked like it was really angry.
Instinctively, I dodged the bear's terrifying claws, "Tut! attack its shoulder blade!!" Sain struggled to get up from the ground and told me about the bear's weakness.
Shoulder blades, shoulders, right? Hearing Theon's words, I carefully searched for the wound on the bear's shoulder.
Is it there?!!The bear had a wound cut in the shoulder by a sharp sword.
A powerful slash!! a clear light lit up on the rusty sword, and I slashed at the shoulder blades of the giant bear with the rusty sword in hand!
The roaring bear let out a cry !!of pain and sorrow, and its left arm was cut deep by my sword, and it felt like it was about to be broken!
Suddenly, blood gushed out, and when I saw this scene, my expression became jealous, for fear that it would fight to the death. However, as it stands, the bear may bleed to death.
"Be careful!" said Sain to me.
The bear's right paw emitted an earthy yellow glow, and it slammed in my direction, and in an instant, five earthy yellow blades of light struck me.
I dodged the three blades of light as best I could, but there were still two blades of light approaching me, and seeing this, I took the rusty sword with my hand and took it decisively, and the earthy yellow blades of light collided violently on the rusty sword......
The earthy yellow blade of light was unusually sharp, and the impact of the external force made my hand holding the sword tremble slightly. However, it is strange that the Rusty Sword did not appear a single gap when it was hit by the light blade.
"It's my turn!"
I slashed at the bear's left shoulder with my sword, and a transparent sword aura accurately cut off the bear's crumbling left shoulder.
Ahh!!hhhhh
"Sain, are you alright?!" Seeing this, I quickly ran to Sain's side and asked with concern.
"Okay......" Sain nodded and said with a wry smile.
Does it still want to fight? I got a little nervous looking at the bear in front of me who had lost my left shoulder.
"Woo-woo-woo-" came the howl of a pack of wolves in the depths of the forest.
Oh no, it's a pack of wolves?! When I heard the wolves' howls, my face turned very bad.
When the bear heard the wolf howl, he was about to turn around and run away, but the next second a javelin shot at the bear's back.
The bear let out a cry of pain as he was stabbed with a javelin. Three or four more javelins were fired at the bear, and the javelins stabbed the bear in the neck and thigh.
"Die!!"
A goblin cavalry riding a gray wolf rushed out from the depths of the forest, and he easily cut off the bear's head with a scimitar. Then several more wolf cavalry rushed out from the depths of the woods.
"It's the cavalry, they. Sain was visibly relieved when he saw who had come.
Hearing Sain's words, I withdrew the two swords in my hands from their scabbards.
"Hey, who are you?" asked a cavalryman who appeared to be the captain jumping off the wolf's back.
"We are ......," Sain hastened to recount the purpose of the trip.
"I see...... Come to our camp and have a feast tonight to celebrate!" said the captain with a bold face.
"Yes, we can have a big meal tonight!!" the other cavalrymen were elated when they heard what the captain had said.
The captain looked at me and laughed, "Boy, you cut off that bear's left shoulder?" asked the captain patting me on the shoulder.
"Yes. I said respectfully.
"Yes, yes!" said the captain with a thumbs up to me.
After the cavalry had divided and carried the bear's carcass, the captain motioned for me and Sain to follow them.
We walked for a while, and finally came to the cavalry camp......
The camp was surrounded by a thick wall, and on top of the wall, there were many patrolling soldiers observing the monsters in the forest.
This camp is really big...... I couldn't help but sigh.
"Come, let's toast to this newcomer!!" The captain raised his glass and asked everyone to toast me.
"Good!!" the cavalry toasted me.
I raised my glass in return, the wine tasted good, with a fruity aroma.
"You're really good enough to deal with Goldclaw Bear alone. The captain said to me drunkenly, and everyone nodded in admiration.
"Come, drink and eat meat!" said the captain politely as he brought the freshly roasted bear meat to the table.
............
Cavalry camp, on the city walls.
"Master, aren't you going to have a bite to eat?" I politely asked Sain, who was looking at the moonlight.
"No......" Sain shook his head and said no.
"Tut, you've gotten stronger. Maybe you'll be able to do a good job on this continent in the future......" Sain said with some steadyness.
“...... Tut: I'm glad I can be your master. Thinking about the previous training of me, Sain said with relief.
"Tut ......," Sain looked back at me, who was sitting on the floor and sleeping soundly.
"Really, don't sleep here. You're going to get sick......" Sain shook his head and smiled helplessly.
