789. The Horn of War
Escape......
Pushing aside the weeds, Marwa crept forward cautiously, her linen clothes frayed as she ran, and one of her boots was lost on the way, and the vines scratched her arms and face, and the wounds were on fire. It hurt so badly that the children who followed behind him were all looking at the woods dozens of meters away with desperate expressions.
Everyone couldn't run anymore, and Mom said that if you crossed the hill, you would be able to leave the town of Plantos.
The red ants followed from behind again, their cold eyes and pincers killing no idea how many people in the town had killed.
The younger brother was already asleep lying behind him, and Marva felt a fire in his throat. It hurts so badly that she doesn't know how long it's been since she drank water.
Pursing her chapped lips, Marva whispered to the frightened and tired children behind her, "There is a forest ahead, and when we get inside, we will scatter and run, and as long as we climb over this hill, we will leave Plantos." ”
On this night, many relatives and friends died one after another.
I just feel that there are fewer and fewer companions around me.
She knew she wouldn't be able to get far with these children, but was she going to sit still?
The ghostly worker ants were getting closer and closer, and Marwa tripped over a vine, and she could already hear the sound of a small chatter behind her, which would be made when their bodies cut off the leaves of the young grass as they passed through the grass.
The children in the back were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they didn't even have the strength to crawl.
Overnight, the town was filled with these terrifying monsters.
The father picked himself and his brother out of bed and threw them in the carriage.
Before waking up, he left the town of Plantos in a hurry, and his mother secretly said with tears in her eyes that her home would be gone.
A group of ghost-patterned red ants surrounded them, and the adults who were able to take up arms and fight turned around and rushed forward to fight.
The woman and the child continued to flee, and then the mother and sister also stayed, turned and rushed into the ant colony behind her, Marwa even felt that it was also her fate, and without them, her children would not be able to run far at all!
The children were all looking at her, and Marwa gritted her teeth and crawled forward, and there was a forest in front of her......
……
A dozen ghost-striped red ants caught up with the scent left along the way, and they rushed out of the wild grass.
Just in front of a forest, I saw the prey, a group of prey full of life.
They can clearly feel the sound of their prey's heart pacing, the warm smell of their bodies, and the sweet smell of their bodies.
The ghost-patterned worker ants that crawled at the front chased after them, parting the wild grass with their powerful front legs, and spreading their sharp tentacles, trying to cut off the fresh life that was close in front of them......
……
Almost at the moment when the tentacles opened, a sharp arrow flew towards the grass, and the tip of the sharp arrow did not know how many young grass leaves were cut, and it passed through the head of the ghost striped worker ant silently.
The arrow brought up a touch of hazel blood, and the body of the ghost-patterned worker ant was carried backwards by the residual strength of the arrow, and it fell hard into the grass, and even hit the other ghost-patterned red ant following behind.
Marva was stupid at this moment, the pincers of the ghost-patterned worker ant almost touched his clothes, and then he fell straight and straight on his back, blood rushing out of his skull, and the six barbed legs twitched continuously, seeing that he would not live long.
A group of ghostly red ants caught up behind.
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly reached his ears, and he felt a brown war horse stepping over his head, and the dirt brought up by the horse's hooves fell on his face, carrying the smell of grass.
Before Marva could react, he saw the ironclad cavalry on horseback pick up the knight's sword in his hand and cut off the heads of several ghost-patterned worker ants.
He was followed by a lot of cavalry, and those cavalry almost instantly strangled the group of ghost-patterned red ants behind him.
A group of teenage children sat on the weeds.
Everyone sat there dumbfounded, looking at the knights who had slain the ghost-patterned red ants, and one child suddenly let out a heart-rending cry, and almost all the children were crying.
A horse covered in thick iron stopped in front of Marva, and a pair of delicate leather boots appeared in front of her, and the horse sprayed hot air above her head, and trampled the grass in a bit of a rage, and from time to time some blades of grass splashed.
Marva felt that in the next second, the horse was about to step on her.
She hurriedly got up from the ground, and heard a deep voice in her ears:
"Put away your tears, you now have two paths, follow us and kill back, or continue to flee south along this road......"
Marva looked at the noble knight in red leather armor, although he did not have a helmet and face armor, but the anger on his face made her silent, and she did not even dare to cry, so she could only sob, wiped her tears from her face, and got up from the grass with difficulty.
It didn't seem to give Marva much time to choose, and the noble knight was about to ride forward, but Marva hurriedly said loudly at this time:
"I'll follow you back, I know the way to Plantos, I ...... We all know ......"
She doesn't want to be left behind, what else can the result of everyone being discarded be other than being eaten by ghost red ants?
Surdak looked at Marva, stretched out his hand to her, and said with a confident smile on his face, "Then we are comrades-in-arms, and we will avenge all those who died in Plantos!" ”
"We're going to take revenge too...... twelve-year-old Marwa said to Surdak as she carried her sleeping brother on her back.
She didn't even know who the noble knight in front of her was.
There was a roar, and two thunder rhinos as tall as small hills walked out of the dense broad-leaved forest, and Surdak pointed to the two thunder rhinos and said to Marva:
"You can rest in the cabin for a while, and then I need you to show me the way."
Where Surdak needs this group of children to guide the way, the town of Plantos has long been in the field of vision.
But he couldn't send cavalry to escort the children away, and he couldn't abandon them, the only way was to take them with him, but fortunately there were two huge thunder rhinos.
Samira strode out of the grass, her hunting bow on her back looked heroic, and Marva looked at Samira with adoration.
"Come with me, don't tell me you don't even have the strength to walk......" Samira brought the six children to the Thunder Rhino, and said to them, "Climb up and drink water again, we don't have time to linger here!" ”
Perhaps it was her hard years in the shelter in the city of Warjmara that gave her the unique temperament of a big sister, and she was always easy to gain the trust of the children, and the six children climbed the wooden ladder step by step up the tall thunder rhinoceros.
The team continued to march towards the town of Plantos, and the ghostly red ants in front of them became denser and denser.
Fortunately, there was no trace of the queen ant along the way, and those soldier ants were a certain threat to these cavalrymen, but everyone had been fighting for so long and already knew how to win.
Finally, in the distance, I saw a cavalry contingent coming from other areas, but they were not as neatly formed as the cavalry battalion led by Surdak.
Andrew led fifty first-turn veterans, rushing back and forth on the left and right of the team in a geese-shaped array, ensuring that the group of men and horses slowly advanced, and those ghost-patterned soldiers and ants became as fragile as cardboard in front of this Nanai warrior......
