Chapter 37: Waiting for Someone
Outside the cave, the rain seemed to be about to fall, and the clouds were about to weigh on Al's chest.
As soon as Cologne's team entered the valley, Al took up his post as a veteran with 2,000 soldiers. And these thirteen veterans were taken to the rest room on the canyon gate to rest.
Peter's Grand Canyon, which did not appear a thousand years ago, was later caused by an earthquake caused by the war, and the Peter's Grand Canyon rose from the ground like this, becoming a natural barrier to the territory of Tana, protecting the Holy Ape Country, so that the barbarian tribe races in the west could not invade.
The canyon runs north-south, and according to legend, the main body is 18 kilometers long, but in fact, the real length of Peter's Grand Canyon is 500 kilometers! The 18 kilometers that people say is because there are only 18 kilometers of roads that people can walk, and after 18 kilometers, there is a swamp and mud land with an area of nearly 100 square kilometers. At the end of the canyon is the Tana Snow Mountain Range, that is, Peter Canyon is a branch of the Tana Mountain Range.
The canyon is twenty kilometers wide from east to west, and five kilometers at its narrowest point, and the peaks on both sides are all steep ladders. Coren sent people to block the canyon at that time, and the troops only walked the eighteen-kilometer-long "sidewalk", because he believed that the swamp in the canyon was a place of death that could not be passed by humans and animals, and it was full of countless animal and human bones, a foul smell and miasma, and it was the safest place for the beast troops to be placed here, plus the towering city gate at the south entrance of the canyon, only these forty-seven elites could block the invasion of 10,000 people, and they could ensure that the canyon would not be captured.
Coren reassigned 200 soldiers to go up to the castle tower and patrol day and night, and ordered 800 soldiers to march in two groups from both sides of the canyon perimeter to check whether there were any passages to climb inward, and the remaining 1,000 men were stationed in the canyon and 500 were to go to the surrounding border villages and towns for routine patrols. For the Holy Ape Country, only meticulous defense can be exchanged for permanent peace.
Obviously, Coren didn't notice the anomalies of the thirteen veterans, and because Coren himself was not very proficient in Meroe and didn't know much about the living habits of the Misu people, he ignored this group of strange people.
The sky thundered, and a heavy rain was ready to start.
"Father, where did this demon army come from?" asked Tex. Now that they can be sure that they are safe, they can seriously think about their next move.
"If there is anyone in this world who can control a group of soulless people, then only one person can do it, this person is extremely cruel and ambitious, trying to swallow up the whole world and create her own world of divine beasts!" Coren said.
"Lina!" Jack and Turks said in unison.
"Yes. We don't know the identity of this Lina, but it is rumored that she can control the undead of alien beasts, so we all call her the leader of the orcs. Coren said.
"Could it be that Lina has already attacked?
Coren smiled and said, "Lina is like this, even if she is sure, she will not act rashly. Of course, she had to do some reconnaissance. The sea beasts on the seashore and the current demon spirit troops are just advance 'scouts', and we don't need to panic. And I guess Lina already knows that there is an orc army hidden in our canyon. ”
Saying this, Jack and the others suddenly realized that this Lina was quite scheming!
"Then what are we waiting for, go and summon our orc troops, Father! The great day is approaching, and one more day of delay may be less hopeful!" Turks seemed very anxious.
"No hurry, I'm waiting for someone. Coren looked at Tex mysteriously.
Turks and Jack looked at each other: "Wait for someone?"
"Well, someone you know. Coren replied.
The rain outside the cave was already pouring down, and the raindrops the size of beans hit the muddy floor of the arid canyon, and soon the mud flowed into a river.
Coren walked to the mouth of the cave, looked at the pouring rain outside the cave, and sighed at the unfortunate weather: "He doesn't know if he can come in time!"
Jack and Tex came out with an iron box and put little Zarian inside, for fear that he would be lost, for Jack, this remdragon may be his new favorite.
"Who would have come in such a heavy rain, and besides, does he know where our camp is?" said Turks, who walked to the entrance of the cave and stood beside Cologne.
"I don't know if he's coming, but he's made an appointment and should be there. As soon as this heavy rain stops, people should have arrived. Coren said.
The soldiers were cleaning the bones of their predecessors in the cave, placing them in the cave in the living quarters, reburying them with stones, and carving an inscription on the wall: "Forty-seven great men who have contributed to the cause of peace and tranquility in the country of Missus are buried here." ”
"Then, the matter of the Demon Spirit Troop ......"
"Don't worry, they won't do anything, Lina's order should just be for them to stay in this canyon, she doesn't know we're here, and won't give another order. ”
The rain gradually stopped, and the weather in this canyon was strange, and the dark clouds that had accumulated so thick that all the anger was poured out in an hour, and the dark clouds turned into white clouds that could be touched, and the sun shone slowly on this land of hope.
"It's coming!" said Cologne, stepping out of the narrow passage and looking into the distant sky.
Several soldiers followed, followed by Jack.
"That's?"
"That guy can fly?"
"It doesn't seem to be! ”
Behind the white clouds, a person suddenly appeared, looking from afar, like a fairy, sitting under him without knowing what, slowly flying over.
"Luther!" came to Jack's mind!
"Is it Luther?!!!!!
Everyone really can't imagine that such an ordinary person would have such skills!
But after Luthor landed, they dared to believe that this Luthor had come with a bird.
This bird's blue feathers, with a wingspan of less than one meter, can carry at least 100 catties of people, which is really amazing.
The soldiers gathered around, pointing at the birds in surprise, and Luthor on the side didn't bother to greet Cologne, and when he saw the rude appearance of the soldiers, he said, "Don't touch my Qingji!"
The soldiers shook their heads, complained about boredom, and dispersed in a huff.
Jack stood behind Colon and was dumbfounded: this Luthor is really not ordinary!
"Your Majesty, it's late, and there's a delay on the way. Luther bowed.
Coren hurriedly stepped forward, held his hand and said, "No need to apologize, the rain just stopped, and you came just in time." ”
This Luthor had just looked angry, but now his face was as calm as water, and he glanced at Jack between shaking hands with Coren. This look, Jack could feel, just like the look in the palace at the beginning, so cold!
