Chapter Twenty-One: Roaring Beasts!
"O Lord Hyde, you are truly your mother's beloved son! Your sincerity and straightforwardness are exactly the same as your noble mother's......!
The white-haired old knight's voice choked up excitedly, and there was a thousand kinds of relief and emotion in this choked throat! He and Hyde supported each other, stood up together, patted the dust and grass blades on their bodies, and solemnly raised the heavy gauntlet spear with both hands and handed it to Hyde.
"This spear is my usual knight's gauntlet flag spear, and although it is not a treasure, it is also a masterpiece made by the great dwarven craftsman many years ago. When I taught you to practice the horse spear, you used the usual practice wooden spear, and although it was difficult for you to understand at the time, you still learned a style of horse spear! It was the result of your ten years of hard work! Now that you are the glorious god, please use this spear to write the first page of your knightly career!"
"Yes, Grandpa Loren. I can remember what you said. I won't forget what you taught me marksmanship. ”
Hyde took the gauntlet spear made of oak and steel, his height was about the same as that of old Loren, and his hand just placed in the gauntlet of the middle and lower part of the spear, he lifted the flag spear and swung it twice, his body was full of confidence and strength! In an instant, countless fragments of memory poured out of his mind, and he almost immediately remembered the fragments that old Loren had painstakingly taught him marksmanship, and those fragments flashed like countless slide lanterns......
The self who was riding on a toy wooden horse with a small stick and shouting forward, old Loren sat on the side and teased himself with a candy cube......
The self who rode on a sheep, holding a short headless spear, and under the gentle encouragement and careful protection of old Loren, marched towards the cloth target......
For the first time, he rode a real war horse, raised a real practice spear, and launched his own spear technique for the first time under the expectant gaze of old Loren......
Memories of more than ten years of training flew in front of him in an instant, and he felt that this flag gun was full of kindness and strength. Old Loren led the white horse to him, and he subconsciously jumped on the horse, and took the reins of the horse, and everything was so natural, like a skilled rider. The fragments of memories had been deeply integrated into his soul, what was he not familiar with? The white horse snorted slightly, as if he also felt that his master had a different look and strength than before.
"The submachine gun is a basic skill that every knight must have. Over the years, I have always hoped that Lord Hyde would learn the skills of a knight and become a true knight. That the son of Princess Tyrir is no means a wreck to be vilified by them!, but I am ashamed that my dereliction of duty and the fog that has covered your mind have only helped you learn the most basic technique of spear thrusting. ”
With this familiar voice, old Loren also rode his black war horse and walked over, and the two war horses stood side by side, digging their hooves with a little excitement. The old man cherished the saber from his waist and handed it to Hyde, his eyes shining with excitement.
"But now it is different! Your Excellency Hyde has become a glorious god, and no fog has clouded your noble heart. I will pass on to you all the martial arts I have honed over the decades of battlefield experience, so that you can become a truly valiant knight who lives up to the trust placed in me by your mother. Let some ruthless people see what kind of glory the heroic lion of Tyrill will cast!"
Old Loren's voice was full of excitement and cheer up. He instigated the war horse to take two steps forward, chose a straight poplar sapling with a height of ** feet, grabbed it with one hand, twisted it with force, and then broke off the branches a few times, and used the two inches thick and more than seven feet long trunk as a short spear.
"This hat is a target, I'll demonstrate it first, and then you will take action, Your Excellency Hyde. ”
The white-haired old knight picked out his red broad-brimmed hat with his bronze hand, and with a wave of his hand he hung it on a tree branch about ten paces away, and the red broad-brimmed hat stood out among the gray-white trunks.
"No, Grandpa Loren. Let me come first this time, I remember what you have taught me with a lot of hard work for more than ten years, this time, let me show you with your war spear!"
Hyde shook his hand slightly, tucked his saber into his waist, and raised his hand to lift the ten-foot-long simple gauntlet spear. He waved his spear, remembering the past, he knew every detail of the submachine stab, and he had repeated that action, that thrust a thousand times in those years when he had not yet comprehended his senses. It was the culmination of ten years of hard work by old Loren! When he now holds the spear in his hand, those memories become deeper and clearer. He felt like he could show it off beautifully!
"Just let Grandpa Loren see that his years of hard work have not been in vain!"
Hyde silently told himself in his heart that his heart was full of confidence. He grasped the ten-foot-long spear in one hand, pointed its flat end forward, and aimed it straight at the red soft hat hanging not far away, making a standard charging stance.
"Okay, Lord Hyde, let's come first. ”
Old Loren did not dispute Hyde's opinion, and he immediately rode to the side to make way for Hyde to charge. The burly old knight in blood armor looked lovingly at Hyde's gesture of carrying his spear, and his face was full of relief, and even his gray beard was cocked.
"Mom, I'm sure you'll see your son's heroism too!
With this silent thought, Hyde clamped the horse's belly with his legs, pulled the reins, and galloped towards the red target, his steady flat end of the ten-foot-long gauntlet flag spear, the red feathers on the tip of the spear fluttering with the gallop of the war horse, which made his youthful mood even more excited. As the red broad-brimmed hat drew closer and closer, he took a beautiful aim at the target, a lightning-fast thrust, accurately lifted the hat to the tip of the spear, raised it high, and rushed forward seven or eight steps in a row before stopping.
"Grandpa Loren, what I've done is quite satisfying. ”
Hyde turned his horse's head, raised his broad-brimmed red hat high with the tip of his spear, and walked towards the white-haired and white-bearded old man with a small sense of accomplishment. As expected, he had performed the spear thrust beautifully, much better than he could have ever remembered, much to Hyde's relief.
"Your Excellency, you've done a beautiful job!"
Old Loren's satisfied voice echoed in front of Hyde, and he gave the blond-haired young knight a thumbs up.
"Grandpa Loren, this is all a credit to you for teaching me over the years, and I should thank you. ”
Hyde greeted Loren Sr. with a smile, and he waved his left hand and tightened the reins of his horse, intending to return the hat to Loren Sr. Suddenly, there was a flash of silver light in front of him, and he subconsciously looked at it, and was surprised to find that the precious pendant left by his mother was actually tightly wrapped around his left wrist like a bracelet! The white-gold pendant box was hanging under his wrist, shining in front of him, which made Hyde's heart tense violently, and his face became hot.
"How can you be so careless! Such impulsive, how stupid it would be to spoil the precious memories left by your mother!"
Hyde silently blamed himself in his heart, this is too undeserved, how could he be so excited that he almost lost his mother's pendant just now? Fortunately, he finally didn't damage this precious memory, it's not too late to make amends, let's put it away first!
The young knight stopped his horse's head, inserted his spear into the iron ring beside the saddle, carefully untied the silver chain from his left wrist, and took the precious pendant, which contained the jewel of memory and his mother's hair, with both hands, and gently put it back around his neck. The relief lion and sword on the white gold locket glittered in the forest sun, as if his mother's eyes were blinking at him, which made his heart sad again, and almost everything froze and he forgot everything.
"Young master, be careful!"
Suddenly, Old Loren's thunderous roar sounded in Hyde's ears, and almost at the same time as this sound, Hyde was surprised to see that Old Loren raised the "tree spear" like lightning, and actually threw it at him!
"What's going on?"
A flash of surprise shook Hyde's heart, but a terrible scream of a ferocious bird immediately told Hyde the answer! He turned around like lightning, and in front of him was the dull sound of landing and flying brown gray feathers, and a harpie whose belly had been broken by a tree spear was struggling and writhing on the grass two or three paces behind his horse, its vicious yellow eyes staring at Hyde with an unwilling look, two sharp bird claws fluttering wildly on the ground, and the ground dust of the sharp hook-like claw armor more than three inches long flew everywhere.
"Young Master, there are traces of Chaos Beasts here! They may have lurked here last night! They may have been eyeing our military station!"
Old Loren instigated his black war horse and came to Hyde like the wind, and he carried his huge six-foot blood sword, eagerly grabbed Hyde's horse's head, and roared loudly.
"I've killed one of the guys who sneaked up on you, but they're definitely not the only ones! Look, the sound just now has alarmed them, and they're starting to attack!
It's too unsafe here, you don't even have armor on, you can't stay for long! Go back to the station, I'll cover you!"
Old Loren raised his greatsword and pointed it at the distant woods. Hyde subconsciously looked along the point, and in the bushes in the distance, clumps of "weeds" stood up one after another, and it could be clearly seen that under the weeds, there were one after another Chaos Centaurs, the figures of Chaos Beasts! These ugly monsters with sheep's heads and beast feet, but acting upright, seemed to have been lying in ambush here for a long time, and they might have planned to launch a surprise attack today when the troops were unprepared. But they were so alarmed by Hyde's mistake that they were all killed now, armed with wooden spears, javelins, short axes, wooden shields and other weapons, silently surrounding Hyde and Loren.
But Hyde did not seem to hear old Loren's words, and he turned his horse's head, and stood silently in the face of these ugly sheep-headed beasts whose scientific name --- "Gore", and held his gauntlet spear, as silent as a statue, which made the white-haired old knight anxious, and held Hyde's reins tightly.
"Young master, did you hear me!" Loren almost roared, beads of sweat oozing from the old man's forehead.
Hyde didn't speak, he gently pushed Loren's hand away, and drew the saber at his waist with his left hand. With a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, he stared closely at the ugly beasts in front of him, and the boiling flames burned from his eyes.
He couldn't hear anything, he couldn't notice anything, and in his eyes there was only this ugly group of beasts, the familiar beasts! The beasts that were unforgettable in his memory! The bloody battle between his mother and them back then was still vivid! The painful parting of life and death was as if it had just happened just a moment ago! The incomparable anger, hatred, and fanatical flames burst out silently and rose from his whole body and from his eyes! Power rushed in his heart, and the volcano, which had been silent, began to erupt like thunder!
"Let your son, my dear mother, sacrifice this ugly beast of chaos before your spirit!"
Hyde's lips twitched slightly, and he made an oath to his mother's spirit in the sky! As this oath ended, he raised his head to the sky and let out a thunderous roar in the face of the beasts! This roar was not as good as a human being, but more like the roar of a lion, like a spring thunder that suddenly erupted under the accumulation of thousands of dark clouds! This roar was so loud that the dead leaves of the entire forest fell like rain, and the beasts with sheep heads trembled, and even the guards of the military station nearly a thousand meters away felt strange and eagerly drew their weapons!
This is the lion's wrath! This is Hyde's wrath! This wrath will bring a devastating thunder upon the ugly beasts of chaos!
