Chapter Seventy-Five: Raising Tigers is a Problem
After three days, the troops' march was slowed down by the fact that the people along the road often stopped to give them military supplies.
Just as the troops were packing up and preparing to go to the next village, suddenly, a horse galloped in from the south!
The horse hurried into the crowd and overturned the soldiers who were comforting the people along the way.
"Stop it!" shouted an officer of the honor guard. Immediately afterwards, three or four soldiers took out the long rope from the munitions cart, put it on two by two, and set up a simple barricade on the road where the horse was about to arrive, and pulled it vigorously just as the horse's hooves were about to rush over the rope! The horse immediately flipped into the air, fell heavily to the ground, kicked up the dust, and smashed under Cologne's horse's hooves with a "bang," so that Cologne's mount raised its front legs and hurriedly retreated two steps.
"What are you doing!" said Lille angrily, yelling at the hundreds of men in front of him.
The horse had been running for more than a thousand meters like crazy, and no one could react to block it, and it was almost about to hit Cologne's horse.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
Lille hurriedly dismounted and investigated the situation.
"This ......" Lille seemed to notice something unusual, and Coren dismounted.
The horse was foaming at the mouth and panting for breath as if it had been galloping for a long time before stopping.
Coren recognized it at a glance, this was the horse of the Holy Ape Country!
Crazy Horse lay on the ground, his chest slumped, and in a moment he was out of breath.
"Where's the front?" Cologne asked the surrounding villagers. The villagers replied that ahead was the border between the Sacred Ape Country and the Missy State.
Cologne's face immediately clouded.
"Lil! Terry, hurry up and get on your horse and lead the light cavalry to the Holy Ape Country!"
Coren had a premonition that something big was happening, and the horse in front of him, with his eyes open and a frightened look, looked like he was frightened and galloped for thousands of miles, until he collapsed. He didn't understand why this was happening, but the scorched fur on the horse's head told him that even if the Holy Ape Kingdom was attacked by Montaro, it shouldn't have happened!
Lil and Terry did not hesitate at all, immediately mounted their horses, rode to the front of the team with a whip, and hurriedly organized three thousand light horsemen to rush to the Holy Ape Country in advance!
Jack, Tex and Sophia were at the back of the team at this time, taking care of the gifts of the people along the way, and they didn't know what was happening in front of them, and by the time the news came, it was already dark, and Lille had already found out what was going on.
The troops had planned to rest at the border for the night, but when Coren saw the horse, he immediately decided to go to the Holy Ape Country at full speed.
"Father, what's going on?" asked Tex curiously.
A look of gloom appeared on Cologne's face, and then he glanced over to look at Jack and sighed.
Jack didn't know why, he was at a loss by this look, he was stunned, he thought to himself: Why are you looking at me, does it have anything to do with me? But then he thought about it, is it because of ......
"I'll go!" Jack volunteered to "clear his name".
"No, it's over, we're going to have to kill them all. Coren said coldly.
Sophia nervously held Jack's arm and asked softly, "What's wrong Jack, is it because of you?"
Jack nodded silently.
When it was completely dark, the troops entered the territory of the Holy Ape Country, and as soon as they crossed a hill, the soldiers hurriedly ran to Cologne's side to report the situation.
Coren took a deep breath and said, "Say it." ”
The scout glanced at Jack and replied, "Report, the Holy Ape Kingdom has fallen...... A large number of Rem Fire Dragons burned the entire eastern city of the Holy Ape Country, and according to the spies, about three cities were attacked by the crazy Rem Fire Dragon. The people of the Holy Ape Country said that there were about two hundred Rem fire dragons coming from the direction of the canyon......"
"Go down, let Lille organize troops against the Rem Fire Dragon, the sky over the city is covered with barbed wire, and the archers shoot it with arrows, and never let a fire dragon go!" Coren said fiercely, as if he really wanted to kill the fire dragon.
Jack listened to the conversation between the two and immediately panicked, he had expected the cause of what happened in the Holy Ape Country. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but regret it, how could I have caused such a disaster because of my original impulse and kindness?
It was almost late at night, and several people stood on the top of the mountain, watching from afar the fire all over the territory of the Holy Ape Country, and the desperate shouts of Lille and them, Jack's head was buried deep in his chest, and he was reluctant to raise it for a long time.
Finally, when the day was about to dawn, the fire was brought under control, and the Rem fire dragon group was almost killed, this group of ferocious fire dragons did not change their nature, and still laid countless eggs before dying, hoping to leave offspring. It's just that, this time, it was Lille and thousands of soldiers who dealt with them, not Jack, and the result can be imagined.
Early in the morning, Lille rode to the hill where Cologne was located to report the situation.
"Cologne, the Rem Fire Dragon has been completely wiped out, and most of its descendants have been stabbed to death. Because of the timely arrival, the people of the Holy Ape Country only suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and there were no casualties among our troops. ”
More than a thousand!?Jack was stunned.
"Have you found out the cause?" asked Cologne.
Lille replied, "According to the soldiers of the Holy Ape Nation who have arrived from the other side of the canyon, yesterday evening, a large group of Rem fire dragons flew straight from the sea to the east as if in revenge. First flew to the garrison of the canyon, burned all their tents, and finally came to the territory of the Holy Ape Country, and breathed fire when he saw people, resulting in casualties. However, those who know the habits of this monster say that the large group of Rem fire dragons is due to the rescue of their companions. It's just that I don't know why there is a fire dragon on the other side of the canyon. ”
"Well, I see, inform the people in front of you, pack up and continue to the canyon!" Coren waved his hand, motioning for Lille to stand down.
Now, Jack is honest.
"Your Majesty Cologne......" Jack walked up to Coren with his head down.
"Don't call me Your Majesty, don't be too formal. ”
"I ......" Jack wanted to say sorry, but he couldn't open his mouth, not because he didn't admit his mistake, he wanted to admit it, but the situation in front of him seemed to be that admitting his mistake could not solve the problem, according to convention, the crime is to be imprisoned, not to mention that his kindness has brought about the irreparable situation now. I guess I'm going to be squatting for decades.
"I know what you're trying to say, okay, pack your things and hit the road, I'll need your help in the future. Besides, you didn't know that there was such a thing, and those who didn't know were not guilty. Coren turned, took the reins, and got on his horse, and then hurried down the hill and rushed forward.
Jack froze where he was, still feeling guilty despite how much Tex and Sophia tried to comfort him, knowing that Coren actually cared.
I had no choice but to resort to a trick. Tex thought for a moment, then said, "Hey, Jack, why don't you stay here, how about Sophia get on my horse." ”
Sure enough, Jack raised his head and stretched out his arm to pretend to hit Tex.
"I'll pump you and me!"
"Haha, let's go," said Tex, laughing and riding away.
