VI. The Decisive Battle of the Wild Sands Chapter 397: Filip's Conscription (II)

The news of Filip's setting up in the ring spread throughout the streets of the ruined capital, and many people were telling about the masked man's amazing skills. Since many people got the rewards as promised, people's impression of the Red Pavilion gradually changed.

At least for about a month in the Red Pavilion in the Imperial City, there has been no forced abduction of the people, nor expropriation, but has helped the people to reclaim wasteland, build water conservancy, and build a number of resettlement earthen houses so that those homeless people have shelter from the wind and rain.

They also recruited a group of teachers to help the people learn to read and write, and many untouchables had their own names for the first time.

And those propaganda officers would tell the Red Pavilion about the decrees at the gate of the Imperial City every day, rain or shine, and the number of people who listened to them gradually became more and more - not that they suddenly became interested in the decrees, but that the Red Pavilion would often release some news about the recruitment of craftsmen and soldiers.

The former economic system of the Wild Sand Empire has long since collapsed, and these new jobs pay well, and there is absolutely no foreman deduction, and they have gradually become a scrambled perk.

Many people slowly began to believe that the Red Pavilion was completely different from the previous decaying mad sand royal family. Under the Red Pavilion, people were able to fill their stomachs, live in decent houses, and sometimes save up some spare money for a drink.

This is probably the comforting day that most of the people of the Wild Sands dream of.

……

After some time, Filip set up a new field in a clearing in the ruined capital.

This time, his battle was much bigger, and he brought more than two dozen soldiers and a dozen irascible alpacas to the field.

These alpacas are the untamable wild alpacas of the original eighteen tribes, most of them come from the wild desert in the west, and each one is manic and difficult to tame. The alpacas restlessly agitated and neighed in the grounds, seemingly wary of everything around them.

Fili arranged for two or three soldiers to take control of an alpaca, but the alpacas had no intention of cooperating at all. They thundered, screamed sharply, and spat foul-smelling saliva at those around them.

The crowd around the venue soon gathered around the crowd, and they pointed at the alpacas, "Oh my God, where did they get such wild alpacas?" ”

"It's rare to see such a fierce alpaca."

"What's the use of such a stubborn alpaca, is it possible that it wants to be killed and eaten for meat?"

Faced with the extraordinarily short-tempered alpacas, Fili once again announced to the crowd: "If anyone can tame any alpaca, they can take the alpaca away on the spot!" ”

At this order, the whole city was boiling. In the Wild Sands Empire, alpacas are highly prized mounts, not only for their incredible strength and speed, but also for long runs in the desert, making them very popular pets for adventurers and armies alike. As a result, alpacas are so expensive that the average person simply can't afford them.

However, this command is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who are proficient in riding.

Many people have repeatedly confirmed that "if you just tame an alpaca, you can take it on the spot". In this regard, Fili also confirmed again and again: "Tame one head, take away the other." It's just that everyone only has one chance to tame, and once they fall off the alpaca, they are judged to have failed. ”

It's a gamble with no cost, and even if it fails, it's just a fall, and for those who domesticate alpacas, it's as common as a burp at dinner.

For a while, the whole city of alpaca riders was eager to try it out and try it out. Some of them were armed with whips and reins, while others were simply bare-handed, ready to rely on their skill and courage to tame these irascible alpacas. For a while, the whole venue was filled with people's cheers and alpacas' calls, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic.

But the alpacas that Filip got were not so easy to tame.

They ran around the field like they were going crazy, and they didn't pay any attention to anyone at all. Some tried to approach them with whips and reins, and were spat in the face or kicked in the ribs.

Danica had long expected such a thing to happen, and had a doctor wait by her side early. As soon as they heard a scream from inside, the stretcher team that had been waiting outside quickly rushed in and carried the wounded out.

Another unlucky man was kicked out of the fence by an alpaca, lying on the ground and chirping, "Such a grumpy alpaca...... Oops...... How could anyone be able to tame ......"

With more and more casualties, Filip wondered if the challenge was more difficult than expected, or if he should cancel the terrible challenge.

Just as he was hesitating, a faint voice came from behind him.

It was a thin girl, in her early twenties, who timidly asked, "Can I go in and try it?" ”

Filip looked at her thin body and persuaded a little worriedly: "Those alpacas are going to die, are you sure you can do it?" ”

The girl glanced at the manic alpacas, but there was no fear on her face, she took a deep breath, and begged Fili to let her give it a try.

Fili didn't know if the emaciated girl would succeed in taming the alpacas, in other words, he was a little worried that the emaciated girl would be kicked to death by the alpacas. However, looking at her determined eyes, Fili decided to give her a chance.

The thin girl happily ran into the fence, and rushed straight to the tallest and strongest alpaca in the middle of the fence.

It was a sturdy, shiny gray alpaca.

Its kind are manic, it's even more manic. Not only manic, but also with extraordinary vigilance in his eyes. No matter who it is, as long as you get close to its body, you will be stared at by his fierce eyes.

Two riders tried to cooperate to catch it, but I heard him scream at me, and his hind feet rose into the air, and with a clatter, he kicked them out at the same time.

Just when everyone was at a loss for the alpaca, a thin figure suddenly rushed forward, and it turned out to be the girl. I saw her hugging the alpaca's neck with her bare hands, and with a flutter of her feet, she jumped onto the alpaca's back.

How could that proud alpaca allow someone to ride on its back so easily? It ran wildly, jumped, and fluttered trying to shake the man off its back. But the girl hugged the alpaca's neck with both hands, as if it had been coated with glue, and stuck to the back of the alpaca.

The alpaca jumped wildly for a long time, and finally felt exhausted and quieted down. Apparently it had been impressed by the girl's courage and skill, and never dared to make another mistake.

The girl stroked its fur and whispered something in its ear, and the alpaca nodded as if it understood.

Then the girl rode it around the field, and when the other alpacas saw her like this, they seemed to have suddenly opened their minds, and they no longer jumped around, and they all became docile.

"I see." Danica high-fived, "That alpaca might be their leader." ”

When the girl came to Fili on the alpaca, she rolled over and landed, and the alpaca also dropped its head and rubbed against her hand.

Fili exclaimed, "You're like a princess, you have a talent for riding. As we promised, this alpaca is yours. ”

The girl thanked Fili gratefully, and asked, "Where has the princess gone, and why she has never been seen in the palace?" ”

In the past, the royal family of the wild sand would appear on the large terrace of the palace every few days to receive the worship of all the people. But after the Red Pavilion moved in, this luxurious palace with a large terrace was demolished first.

Fili explained solemnly, "Unfortunately, the Temple of the Wild Sands is planning an invasion, and Princess Lydia has already led her army out of the city to defend it. ”

The girl had a worried expression, "She...... She'll be fine, right? ”

"Of course," Philip comforted, "the princess is such a powerful knight that even the Demon Emperor shuddered at the sight of her name. No matter how powerful the Babu prince and the 'Protector of the Archmage' are, they are just minions of the demons. ”

The girl sighed, "Why didn't she stay in the palace and run out to fight?" ”

Fili looked at the girl and said seriously: "The princess said that we are going to create a new world, where there are no lords and nobles, and all people are equal. For the sake of this new world, we must fight. ”

The girl looked at Fili in surprise and was speechless for a moment. The onlookers were also shocked, muttering "how is this possible".

Fili looked at the crowd around him and said loudly, "This is impossible, it is not something that can be judged by imagination. When Princess Lydia single-handedly rushed into the Demon Array, everyone thought it was impossible, but she killed more than a dozen Demon generals, blew up the Overseers, and forced the Demon Army back with the strength of one person. ”

He jumped on another wooden box and continued, "At the height of the Red Pavilion's crisis, there were less than a hundred people, and who would have imagined that we would later repel the invasion of the Blacksteel Empire and the Ironbeard Pirates, and even the 'Thousand Faces Enchantress' would die in the 'Crown Mausoleum'. ”

Hearing about the "Thousand-Faced Enchantress", the onlookers suddenly fell silent.

I think that when the demon woman left the ruined capital, the Wild Sand Emperor, who had not been in power in the palace for many years, went out of the city to see her off. After hearing that she had died, the Emperor of the Wild Sand vomited blood and fainted on the spot, and ordered the whole city to mourn for her for a month.

At that time, people had all kinds of curiosity about this organization, which was called the "Red Pavilion Bandit", but was able to defeat the demon witch.

Fili coughed again, "Everyone, if you just rely on imagination, there are too many 'impossible' in this world. But when we do challenge them, those impossibilities will disappear. ”

The girl's face lit up with excitement, and she couldn't wait to ask, "What about me, is it possible for me to become a brave knight like the princess?" ”

"Just like you tamed that alpaca, others say that it may be or is impossible, and it has nothing to do with you." Whether you can be a brave knight like a princess depends only on you. ”
