Chapter 35: Cologne's Horror

"What's the matter? why do you look at each other like this?" Jack was also shocked by their expressions, but didn't know what was going on.

"What does 'forty-seven' mean?" Jack was puzzled.

Tex's Coren was still looking at the bones all over the ground in horror, and this look made Jack a little panicked. In fact, he is not very afraid of the dead, he has experienced so much, and has faced countless deaths, how can anything really frighten him, but he will be a little frightened.

At this time, Tex was still standing there in a trance, just looking at these bones, the soldiers were also very strange, and they didn't understand why these two people were stunned.

Finally, Coren spoke, but his mood was unstable, and he trembled and said, "This...... This...... How...... Will it be, will it be forty-seven!?"

"What do you mean?" Jack wondered what forty-seven meant.

"Forty-seven corpses. Turks coldly dropped the words.

Jack found that since he had Zari by his side, all his energy was on him, and even his brain was a little bad.

"Forty-seven, what's wrong, forty-seven corpses, is there anything wrong?" asked Jack.

After a while, the silent Turks continued: "Back then, the soldiers sent by my father to this side had two cooks, five sentinels, and forty soldiers guarding the valley, and they added up to a total of forty-seven people......

Jack wiped his cold sweat and said without feeling that anything was wrong: "That means they were all killed in that invasion ten years ago." ”

"But!" said Turks, raising his voice, "But, aren't there a dozen or so soldiers who took us into the valley!?"

Jack also felt suspicious when he said this. yes, there are still a dozen soldiers outside.

"Could it be that the statistics are wrong? Jack asked again, for he really couldn't choose to believe that the dozen or so living soldiers at the mouth of the valley were ghosts, but the thought of the gloomy weather today, and the dullness in his chest when he entered this cave, he couldn't help but direct his thoughts to the ghosts.

"It's forty-seven, that's right. I ordered two poops, forty-seven skulls......" Cologne said in a deep voice.

"Ah!?" Jack exclaimed, it shouldn't be wrong to count the human skulls, so those Taniguchi soldiers are really ghosts?!

At this time, the soldiers who were cleaning also came over, and they all looked at the bones on the ground and expressed their surprise.

The crowd began to discuss, some asked Keren again if he had counted wrongly, and some asked Keren if he had misremembered the number of people sent back then, but Keren vetoed them all and said: "It can't be wrong, I just counted again, and besides, I'm not old enough to be that old, how can I remember wrong?"

With that, the soldiers fell silent.

Indeed, although Coren is not young this year, he is only less than sixty, and he has not yet reached the age of turning his head and forgetting things. Besides, the soldiers stationed in the canyon were sent to guard such an important matter, maybe it was a matter related to the fate of the country in his eyes, could he be mistaken?

Jack then remembered that Turks said that the soldiers of the Misser Kingdom regarded the swords in their hands as life, but when they entered the cave just now, there were many rusty swords scattered on the ground, and now it seemed that those swords, like the swords found on these bones, were obviously forged together, exactly the same.

Now, things are clear. These forty-seven corpses are confirmed to be the soldiers stationed there!

"Not good!" Tex's suddenly shouted.

Then he took the sword he had just found in his hand, and was about to rush out of the cave with it! Jack knew that he was going to the mouth of the valley!

"Tex!" Coren called out to the energetic Tex, and Tex, hearing his words, stopped.

"Father, the situation is critical outside!" exclaimed Tex.

"I know! you let me think about it!" Coren didn't seem to be anxious, but he could tell from the look in his eyes that he understood the situation.

"What else do you want!?The dozen or so outside, I don't know what they are, King El is still outside!?" Tex seemed to be about to cry, and wanted to rush out in the next second.

"Is it useful for you to rush out like this?!If the dozen or so fake guards wanted to do anything, they would have done it sooner!" Coren scolded Turks.

In fact, Tex also cares about others, but in addition to carrying his sword out, his head is full of these bones in front of him, and he just wants to seek justice for these wronged soldiers. However, Coren reminded him that he was indeed right, if the fake guards outside wanted to do something, they would have done it a long time ago, and now compared to just now in the valley, there are only ninety fewer people, and there are still two thousand soldiers from the Holy Ape Country left, and there is no difference in numbers.

Tex gradually figured it out and slowly quieted down.

"Let's assume first that those are enemy troops, people disguised as us, but. If that's the case, there's no reason why they're here after they've killed our guards. Judging by the extent of the decay of these bones, it has been at least five or six years. Coren lowered his head and sat on the stone bench, trying to sort out the line.

"If they're ghosts...... No, it's not possible, they are really people, I have touched that veteran, it is human flesh, and I can feel his body temperature......" Speaking of this, Coren suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up!

"What's the matter, Father?" asked Tex with concern.

Coren didn't answer, his pursed lips trembled slightly, and his hand held the saber at his waist, and he trembled slightly.

Turks saw the clue: "Could it be that the father knows who those people are?"

The air seemed to freeze at the moment, and the soldiers around him were all looking at Coren, silently waiting for his answer.

"Demon Troops. ”

It took a long time for Coren to pop these four words out between his teeth.

"What are the Demon Troops?"

"Demons, ghosts?"

......

The crowd began to talk and the crowd was noisy. Jack, who didn't feel panicked, was also nervous by Coren's gloomy and frightened expression, and his palms began to sweat. Although he didn't know what this "Demon Spirit Force" represented, judging from Coren's performance, it was a very terrifying and mysterious thing!

"Father...... "Terkes also said in a trembling voice, "you mean...... Those dozen or so soldiers, are they Demon Spirit troops?"

Turks seemed to know the origin of the "Demon Force", but he still couldn't believe his ears and asked again, until Coren gave him another affirmative answer, and he suddenly turned pale and stumbled against the wall behind him.

I don't know why, Jack just feels that a big disaster is coming, and danger is imminent, this father and son feel very bad, but what is it that makes them so afraid?
