Chapter 96 of the Desert Wolf Camp
In the westernmost part of the Longyuan territory, there is a vast desert Gobi, where the wind and sand and endless barrenness are the masters. Those who can survive here are the toughest and most tenacious creatures, and the Steppenwolf is the most powerful and bloodthirsty existence among them.
Human beings should be far away from this barren land and murderous beasts, but some people dare to survive in the dead and go deep into the desert, I don't know how much blood they paid, they actually learned the skills of taming the Steppenwolf, and with the Steppenwolf's natural ability to hunt and find water, they survived tenaciously in the desert, and even established large and small ethnic groups, they were called "the Western Wilderness Clan" by people outside the desert.
At the beginning of the Longyuan Dynasty, in order to resist the Xihuang tribe who were constantly plundering and harassing in the western interior, the two largest cities in Lizhou, Shajiang City and Heiyan City, were divided into two princes, and they were guarded here for generations. However, after the current Zhenyuan Marquis Di Yuan attacked the lord, he defied public opinion, braved the disapproval of the world, established contact with the Xihuang clan, captive the Steppenwolf, and formed a cavalry "Desert Wolf Battalion" with the Steppenwolf as the mount.
The Desert Wolf Battalion only appeared in front of the world in the war between Shajiang City and Black Rock City, and never even left Lizhou, but since then, in the eyes of the world, it has firmly occupied the position of "Longyuan First Division", even the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, which Yunzhou relies on to become famous, can only rank second.
Su Ping often heard people talk about the Desert Wolf Camp like this, and she was very proud in her words, praising Hou Ye's iron and bloody skills, knowing that he could not do it, so that he became famous in the world. At this moment, at the corner under the porch, someone mentioned this matter, as if he was also stained, and his face was full of joy.
Su Ping was never happy about this. She deliberately walked over with heavy steps and made a sound, and the two servants hurriedly stopped and saluted respectfully, until Su Ping walked away, and did not dare to make another sound. Su Ping was a little proud that she had succeeded in her trick, but she was depressed in her heart and couldn't rebuke her.
The weather in Shajiang City is hot, and the sunlight is projecting down, almost unobstructed, and there is no breeze to bring a moment of coolness. Su Ping has been married from Donglu for decades, and she still feels that this sunlight is extremely dazzling.
She suddenly heard familiar footsteps, light and hurried, and she looked up to see that it was Di Yuan's eldest son, Di Yunhao. When Di Yunhao saw Su Ping, he showed a bright smile and saluted, "Mother!"
His smile was like the warm sun in winter, slightly dispelling the haze in Su Ping's heart. Su Ping chuckled and asked, "Why do you have time to come and see me, shouldn't you be busy in the study with your father?"
"My father rushed to the front line, and it is said that the people of Black Rock City have cut off the supply of our army, and the defeat of the other party was originally a matter of these two days, so it gave the other party a chance to breathe. ”
Su Ping showed a worried look: "There won't be any more big mess, right?"
Di Yunhao shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "The things on the front line have always been staring at the second child, and I don't know very well, but since my father rushed over, nothing will happen." ”
"Hmm. Su Ping nodded, but obviously still had something on her mind. Di Yunhao suddenly stretched out his hand on Su Ping's shoulder, looked at the sky, put the fingers of his left hand together to block the sun, squinted his eyes slightly and smiled: "Didn't Jingjing come to see you today?"
Su Ping shook her head with a smile and said, "That girl doesn't know what she's been busy with lately, and she hasn't been here for some days." ”
"The weather is good today, why don't I walk with you." It just so happened that my father said that there are some things in the Desert Wolf Camp that I will do, how about we go to the camp for a walk?" Di Yunhao said with a smile.
Su Ping didn't want to see the Desert Wolf Camp, so she shirked and said, "No need, I still want to go to the study to read a book, the sun is big and it's very hot." ”
"It's okay, I'll tell someone to get ready for the walk. You've been in your room for a long time, your face isn't very good, and you just went out to bask in the sun. Di Yunhao still held Su Ping and insisted.
Seeing the hesitant look on Su Ping's face, he was stunned for a moment, and asked softly, "Mother is afraid of seeing that person?"
Su Ping hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile: "Whatever happens, it's all a family." Since you're interested, I'll go shopping with you. ”
Di Yunhao grinned, revealing his white teeth. Su Ping saw the happy look on his face, and scolded with a smile: "A person who is almost thirty years old is still like a child." ”
Lizhou is adjacent to the desert, it is early summer, the sun is a little hot, Su Ping sat on the chariot, still feeling a slight sweat. Di Yunhao accompanied him on the side, he was already sweating profusely from the heat, but he didn't realize it, and he talked and laughed with Su Ping along the way.
The Desert Wolf Camp is located in the southwest of Shajiang City, just on the edge of the desert. The battle with Black Rock City was clear, and Di Yuan transferred all the Desert Wolf Battalion back from the front line to retain his strength, but although the Desert Wolf was tamed, it was not a domestic thing and could not be kept in the city, so Di Yuan stationed the entire Desert Wolf Battalion here. Before she got closer, Su Ping heard a wolf howl and couldn't help frowning.
Di Yunhao, who was outside the chariot, didn't notice it, and said to Su Ping with some excitement: "The Desert Wolf Camp is training, but it's a coincidence." ”
Su Ping looked at the excitement on Di Yunhao's face, and chuckled: "It seems that you are very interested in the Desert Wolf Camp, I remember when you were a child, you said that when you grew up, what you want to be the most important thing is to be a warrior and fight heroes all over the world?"
Di Yunhao smiled: "When I was a child, my mother still remembers." When I was a child, I did envy the heroic posture of the samurai, crisscrossing the battlefield, but unfortunately I was not the material for martial arts, and it was very slow to learn, and it was wasted for a few days, and now even the second child can easily beat me, there is no way, so I can only help my father deal with the official affairs in the city. As he spoke, he smiled at Su Ping, and there was no frustrated expression on his face, just a joke.
Su Ping looked at the cheerful smile on Di Yunhao's face, her mood was complicated, and she still barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
Turning over a sandy slope, you can see the camp of the desert wolf camp. A large circle surrounded by a fence and a horse is their school yard.
At this time, two cavalrymen were fighting in the school grounds, but their crotch was not a war horse, but a lion-sized wolf, covered in gray-yellow hair, inconspicuous in the desert yellow sand, but they were the masters of the land. When they land on all fours, their height is close to that of a normal human's waist and abdomen, and it is not difficult for humans to ride on them. Su Ping recognized that this was the Steppenwolf.
The two people in the field fought together with wooden swords and guns, but the Steppenian wolf under the crotch was like fighting to the death, the wolf had a saddle on his body, fixed on his body with a belt, and there was something like a horse's chew in the wolf's mouth, connected to the reins, but obviously the Steppenian wolf was more difficult to control than the horse, and he opened his bloody mouth and bit the other party, his eyes were terrifying scarlet, but the two wolves were extremely sensitive, and they did not let the other party take advantage. It's not so much the two of them driving the mounts under their crotches as the two red-eyed wolves carrying two burdens.
A Steppenwolf stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed at the other wolf, but was deftly dodged by the opponent. The man took advantage of the situation to draw his sword and tried to knock down the opponent with the wooden spear, but halfway through the swing of the sword, he was meeting the opponent's raised wolf head and scarlet eyes. The razorwolf's sharp teeth snapped together, and with a forceful pull, the wooden sword snapped in response.
The man was unstable by the force of the Steppenwolf, and the Steppenwolf under his crotch did not obey the call at all, and jumped away in the other direction, so that he fell down and rolled on the ground, rolling up pieces of dust.
Before he could stand up, however, the Steppenwolf under the other sat swooped down, its blade-like teeth interlaced up and down, biting him on the neck.
The surrounding onlookers suddenly panicked, and the warrior riding on the wolf desperately pulled the reins, but the desert wolf saw the blood, launched a madness, and bit the man alive, and the blood gushed out, soaking the wolf hair and sand into black and red.
Su Ping's face suddenly became ugly, and she turned her head away from the scene, not looking at the miserable situation on the field. Di Yunhao also frowned, and walked quickly in front of Su Ping, blocking his mother's sight.
The Steppenwolf dragged the corpse to run back and forth in the open space in the school grounds, surrounded by more than a dozen people, gradually reducing its activity space, holding a knife and shield in his hand, and knocking quickly, the Steppenwolf seemed to be unable to bear such a sound, let out bursts of roars, but did not dare to jump out of the encirclement, could only spin in place, the person on the saddle had to hug the wolf's neck tightly, for fear of falling, and also became the thing in the belly of the Plain Wolf.
A rope was thrown from the crowd and placed on the wolf's head, and then several men pounced, crushing it to the ground, and then struggling to put the chain on him, so that he could not open his mouth, and barely subdued the beast.
Di Yunhao saw the situation in the field clearly, and comforted Su Ping in a low voice: "Mother, it's okay." ”
After another moment, Su Ping swept her gaze to the school field again, and at this moment, the two Steppenwolves had been taken away, and the blood stains on the ground were still shocking.
Su Ping saw a figure come out of the crowd watching from the outside of the school field, and strode in front of the soldiers, the surrounding soldiers noticed her, and the originally noisy and chaotic venue suddenly fell silent, and after the figure stopped, several people who were a little close to her unconsciously retreated a few steps back. Looking at the heroic figure, Su Ping's heart suddenly "chuckled".
It was actually a woman, with bronzed skin, strong muscles on her exposed forearms, and a sense of strength in her gestures, like a cheetah ready to attack, but this did not affect her slender figure, but the curves were more attractive.
The woman stepped on the puddle of blood stains before, sneered, and shouted: "As a person in the Desert Wolf Camp, you should know that the most important thing here is not the personal fighting technique, but the ability to control the Desert Wolf!
She said word by word: "The Desert Wolf Camp does not raise waste! Those who know that they have no such ability, or are timid, so they should withdraw as soon as possible, and let their mounts be eaten before the battle! The Desert Wolf Camp cannot afford to lose this person!"
After she finished speaking, she looked around and looked at the reactions of the people around her, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Su Ping, Di Yunhao and others on the hillside. She raised her eyebrows, and whispered to a few people around her: "I'll leave it to you here, continue training!" and then walked out of the school field and walked towards Su Ping and the others.
