Chapter 0026: Goggers

Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, Aldington only came back twice a year, once for the New Year's Day and once for the old lady's birthday.

Then he hurriedly said goodbye and continued on the path of the attendant.

Although Baron Aurenor himself had experienced such a life as an acolyte, he was still worried about his son's life in the Grey Iron Castle.

Durontan Bomber was the largest nobleman in the Danube Province, and it was arguably the best choice to follow Viscount Dulick as an attendant. But when a child is alone, how can parents not care. At the same time, I look forward to my son growing up as soon as possible.

When he returned at the age of fourteen, Aldington had not been promoted to Cadet Knight.

When he came back at the age of fifteen, he still did not get promoted to probationary knight, and Baron Aureno was a little disappointed, he was promoted to probationary knight at the age of thirteen, which shows that his son's talent is far inferior to his own.

Until the age of sixteen, to be precise, not yet sixteen, and two months before he turned old.

Aldington returned home once again, this time with good news, being promoted to Trainee Knight. Baron Aureno was delighted, but he did not have regrets. But now that Aldington has awakened his bloodline, all regrets have vanished, and all that remains is endless joy and pride.

"Aldington did what I didn't do." Taking a sip of wine, Baron Aureno smiled pleasantly, not even angry at the fact that the gophers had destroyed the sweet potatoes.

However, although he is not angry, the matter of the waffle destroying the sweet potato still needs to be solved.

At night.

In the sweet potato manor, the fighters of the hunting team and the patrol team have gathered in the manor, and Baron Aureno personally led the team to patrol the sweet potato fields, waiting for the arrival of the gopher.

"Filthy guy!" The steward of the sweet potato estate, as a guide to the fields, held a torch to guide the team where there was a hole dug by the gophers, "The high-quality sweet potatoes that have been cultivated for so many years, and the crop that has the most hope of receiving the blessing of the gods, has been ruined by a group of rats. ”

Aldington rode on his horse, and looked at the place pointed out by the steward, a cave the size of a basin, which opened between the ridges of the fields, and all the roots of the sweet potatoes were in full bloom, and all the roots had been dug out and eaten.

He couldn't help frowning: "It's a pity. ”

Sweet Potato Manor should be one of the first few manors to be opened up in Red Leaf Town, it has been cultivating sweet potatoes for a long time, and after a long time of careful care, the "divine resonance" gathered here should be about to reach a critical value, which may trigger the blessing of the gods at any time and obtain a Nymph.

However, now that the sweet potato field has been destroyed, it is equivalent to saying that the divine resonance has collapsed, and the Nymph has died directly, and the loss is not unheavy.

"Will the goggles be here tonight?" He turned to ask Marquez's bodyguard.

Marquez nodded and said, "A small magical beast like a gopherger, after tasting the sweetness, will not give up the delicacy to its mouth at will. This sweet potato field is not finished, and they will not leave easily. When the go-diggers arrive, we will mark them and find out the nests of the go-diggers. ”

"Eliminate the rats as soon as possible, the sweet potato fields can make up for it a little, and maybe there will be a chance to trigger the blessing of God." A knight from Hu estimated optimistically.

Moments later, Márquez, who was patrolling the sweet potato fields, suddenly stopped his horses.

Then he raised his hand and signaled: "It's coming!" ”

"Take cover, get ready!" Baron Aureno watched every cavern in the ground.

At his command, all the servants took their bows and arrows from their backs, bent their bows and arrows, and prepared to shoot. The arrows of each arrow have been removed and wrapped in a small package like a sachet.

Knowing that Suosuo's voice came from far and near, soon a strange rat with gray and gray poked its head out of the cave.

The body is not large, about the size of a dog, but the front teeth are surprisingly large, embedded in the roof of the jaw like two bricks. The tail is short and thick, the limbs are slender, and the nails are very sharp.

Its eyesight was not good, and it did not spot the knights hiding nearby.

After sniffing the smell, he ran to the edge of a sweet potato tree, and dug out the unripe tuber of the sweet potato with his front paws.

With the first waffle as an example, other waffles poured out of their burrows, digging sweet potato tubers and feasting on them.

"Toot!"

A whistle blows.

This was a signal to move, and the knights shot arrows in their hands, and the arrows without arrows smashed into the diggers, and even the fur could not be broken, so they could only startle these diggers. A few of them hid back in the cave, while the rest panicked and turned to threaten the followers who appeared.

Aldington also held a bow and arrow, and the arrow did not have an arrow, but after he shot an arrow, not only did he not hit the target, but a wriddle jumped out of it, rushed in front of him, opened his front teeth and roared: "Hiss! ”

"Look at me as a bully?"

A nameless fire broke out in his heart, and Aldington jumped directly off the back of the red bean horse, pulled out his one-handed sword, and aimed it at the gopher is a slash.

The fighting spirit was poured into the sword body, turning into a thunderbolt.

The go-digger knew that he was afraid, and he was about to jump away, but the one-handed sword was skillfully flicked by Aldington, and it was offset by half a foot like a shadow, and it slashed accurately on the back of the waffling. With a bloody glow, the go-digger's back was slashed with a fatal wound.

Blood spurted, mixed with a tiny flash or two of lightning.

The gopher staggered twice on the spot, completely choking.

Pulling a sword flower and shaking off the blood stains on the one-handed sword, Aldington looked up and saw that many of his servants had already captured one or two go-diggers. However, in the face of a large herd of waffling waffles, this killing is not enough, just driving the gogglers back to the cave and escaping back.

Márquez closed his eyes and twitched his nose slightly: "This group of godiggers has returned down the tunnel, and the distance is getting farther and farther away...... It's time to start the pursuit. ”

Those arrows without arrows, bundled with sachets, are a special powder, sticking to the fur of the waffle, and the smell lingers for a long time.

Wind whisperers can even hear the wind, and tracking these scents couldn't be easier.

Baron Aureno gave a direct order: "Márquez leads the way, everyone follows!" ”

There was no orderly procession, and the distance between the horses was very scattered, but the procession, led by Aureno, was in order, like a sharp arrow, following the trajectory left by the escape of the diggers, and rushed towards the nearby forest. Aldington was caught in the middle of it, and his mood was stirring.

This is not a knight charge, most of the knights take the warrior route, and there is no fighting spirit.

But hundreds of horses galloped, trampling the earth trembling, the moonlight was misty, the torches were shaking, and the momentum undoubtedly made people's blood boil.

The strong wind brushed his face, and he couldn't help but think of the battlefield: "A real knight charge, countless fighting spirits are connected, and can even cause changes in the heavens, what a glorious scene is that?" ”
