Chapter 95: A Moment of Life and Death
Late at night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The moonlight gradually dimmed.
At this time, it is often the time when the awake person is most likely to be sleepy, and the sleeping person is the deadliest sleep.
In the mountains of Hildas, in the middle of a wood, in a humble camp built by William's team.
A campfire was 'crackling' and about to go out.
Dodora, who was patrolling the camp, walked over.
He picked up a dry piece of wood and threw it into the campfire. He reached out and patted a dozing guard on the shoulder by the campfire, "Hey! It's about to be dawn, and it's time to change shifts and go to bed. ā
The thin guard suddenly woke up.
He looked up at the sky, it was as dark as ink. In the entire humble camp, only a few people remained vigil, and the rest slept in tents.
It's unusually quiet.
"Excuse me, Captain. Iā" Glancing at Dodora, the thin guard quickly got up and said with a somewhat embarrassed face.
Duoduo smiled back, "It's okay." ā
"Captain, I'm going to release the water. You can help me take a look. Seeing that Dodora turned around and wanted to leave, the thin guard hurriedly said.
Dodora stopped, nodded, and said, "Go ahead, don't go too far." ā
The thin guard found a grassy corner and trotted away.
Dodora leaned over and sat by the campfire, waiting for him to return.
A minute passes.
Two minutes passed.
Three minutes passed.
The skinny guard still hasn't returned.
Dodora frowned, and a hint of unease flashed through her heart.
He shouted, summoned the fat soldier who was guarding the other corner, and said, "Someone went to release water just now, and he hasn't come back yet, I'll take a look." You stay here and pay attention. If you encounter any abnormal situation, you will be notified immediately. ā
As he spoke, Doto drew his sword and headed in the direction where the thin soldier had left.
He took it one step at a time and walked very cautiously.
After leaving the camp, Dodora came to a dense bush.
Instead of moving on, Dodora took her sword and began to search the neighborhood. He searched as he called out the name of the skinny guard.
Suddenly, a strange sound of 'cooing' came over.
The night was silent, and Dodora frowned when she heard the sound. He slowly approached, his sword brushing aside the loud bushes.
A bloody corpse came into view.
The face of this corpse is so familiar that not long ago, the Burmese told him to release the water and asked him to help take a look at it......
However, at this moment, this familiar face is full of horror.
His eyes almost protruded, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and more than twenty horned eagles stood densely on his corpse, pecking at his body.
There were also two horned eagles, scrambling to eat a intestine, staring at the scarlet eyes as blood, and fighting.
The scene was bloody.
The rich smell of blood deeply stimulates Dodora's spirit.
Dodora trembled. He suddenly let out a loud shout, and a sword swept through. The horned eagle on the corpse immediately scattered, flapped its wings and flew to the tree.
The two horned eagles competing for food could not dodge, and were cut in half by the sharp long sword.
'Poof!'
Blood splatters.
On the branches of the big tree, a few horned eagles that had not eaten enough before smelled the smell of blood, and immediately flew down without fear.
They tore the corpses of the two dead horned eagles to pieces in front of Dodora, and each flew back to the tree with its 'spoils'.
Dodora looked up and was immediately taken aback.
There were more horned eagles than he had seen, more than he had ever thought!
On the branches of the big trees, there are pairs of small red 'lanterns' that are as scarlet as blood, flashing one after another.
Dodora knew it was the horned eagle blinking, looking at his new prey.
Dodora was horrified.
He shifted slightly. On the branches of the big tree, thousands of pairs of scarlet eyes immediately followed his footsteps and turned slightly.
In an instant, cold sweat flowed down Dodora's back, wetting the placket.
Although he wanted to avenge the death of his brother, he was not a reckless man, and he would not be foolish enough to think that he could fight these thousands of horned eagles on his own.
Almost without thinking about it, Duoduo clenched his long sword and ran away.
However, it was too late.
Dodora's escape fell into the eyes of the Horned Eagles, who suddenly screamed strangely. Like locusts, they flapped their wings and flew down from the trees, overwhelmingly attacking Dodora's back.
Dodora despaired.
He shouted desperately, trying to attract the attention of the guards who were in charge of the camp's vigil dozens of meters away before he died.
I hadn't run a few steps yet, but I was shocked by a sharp pain in my back.
Dodora instantly lost consciousness and fell headlong, and the pain was so intense that it instantly fell unconscious.
......
When Dodora woke up, it was noon the next day.
He was awakened by pain.
In the small tent, Kova was carefully unwrapping the bandages on his back, then using wood chips to scoop up the green goo from a nearby bowl and apply it to his pothole-ridden back.
Even though Kova's movements were very light and the green goo made from various herbs was cold, Dodora still felt a burning pain in her back, like a fire.
"Hmm, are you waking up? I'm sorry, I'm giving someone medicine for the first time. Seeing Dodora wake up with a painful grinning look, Kova scratched her head and said rather Burmesely.
"It's good to hurt. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel the pain and would think I was dreaming. Dodora gasped and swallowed the pain and said, "Kova, why are you here? Didn't you and Mr. Kane stay in the Imperial Capital? Also, did you save me?"
"I don't have the power to save you. You were surrounded by a flock of horned eagles, and they all tore your clothes and began to eat your flesh. Fortunately, we arrived in time, and Mr. Hai Jui rescued you. ā
"I... Who are we, Mr. Hai Jui, Mr. Hai Jui??" asked Dodora with a blank expression.
"Uh...... It's right that you don't know. You haven't met yet, but we'll get to know each other later. ā
Kova said as she wrapped the bandage and tied a slipknot for Dodora, "Okay, now you get up and take a walk?"
Dodora was stunned.
Kova explained: "The wound on your back, which was previously treated with magic potions, has now begun to heal the raw flesh, don't worry, as long as you don't do strenuous exercise, you will be fine." ā
"Magic potion?" Dodora said in surprise.
"Yes, the magic potion of the Sumera Mistress. ā
Kova nodded, gestured with her finger and said, "Don't look at such a small bottle, it's precious! The synthetic materials of various potions alone cost more than a thousand gold coins." The Sumera mistress was reluctant to come, and wanted to use a little potion, but in the end, it was Young Master William who interceded. ā
Dodora finally understood.
He followed Kova out of the tent where he was recuperating.
At first, there was a sharp pain in her back, but after walking a few steps, perhaps the magic potion had taken effect, and Dodora only felt a cold piece in her back, and she could no longer feel the slightest pain.
Outside the tent, there was no pungent smell of herbs and the air was very fresh.
Under the bright sun, the brothers that Dodora had brought from the setting town all gathered around the group inside, pointing and watching curiously.
There are a lot of people.
Dodora walked through the crowd and immediately saw the people of the Jackal Mercenary Regiment who were skillfully handling piles of horned eagle corpses.
The Jackal Mercenary Regiment was originally a small mercenary group in Wildfire Town, near Sunset Town, in Kuwait Province.
On this trip to Haiman Province, William wanted to bring the Jackal Mercenary Group with him at that time, in case of any emergencies, and he had a little more strength in his hands.
It's a pity that the Jackal Mercenary Group was on a mission at that time, and William had to write to Crean and others who were far away in the imperial capital, asking them to join the Jackal Mercenary Group by the way when they came.
There is the current scene.
