chapter Ten(1/2)
I don’t know how many laps I ran. I only know that when I heard the deafening sound of horse hooves and the cheers of the soldiers, I was really about to die. I was almost exhausted.
The elf magicians released the levitation technique on me, making me float up. I couldn't help but watch as they untied my gloves, without even having the strength to say a word.
I looked down and saw that reinforcements from the Pota Empire had finally arrived. Tens of thousands of brightly-armored heavy cavalry lined up and began to attack. There were so many of them, they were certainly qualified to ravage the remaining monsters.
I was placed in front of a small platform on top of the altar, and Fichet held my head. He asked me what I wanted. I was dying of thirst, but I couldn't say a word.
After the magic expired, the body felt overwhelmingly tired, the bones were swollen and itchy, and the muscles ached as if someone had poisoned you. If you could hold on without moaning, you would be considered a tough guy.
The female general came over, looked at my white and chapped lips, reached out and took out a water bag from my waist. She took off my helmet, wetted my lips with water first, and then gave me sips to drink.
.
My eyes looked at her blankly.
"I admit that you are a brave and powerful governor..." she said in my ear: "But this still cannot change my earlier view of you."
"Cohen!" Grandpa Martin came up and ran to me in a few steps: "You're not hurt!"
"Not hurt." Jack said, "I just can't speak!"
"It's okay, it's a side effect of excessive use of magic..." Grandpa Martin patted my stiff face: "You'll be fine if you rest more!"
I looked at Grandpa Martin deeply with my eyes, and then turned in the direction of Fichet.
"You rest, I understand." Grandpa Martin said, "Leave everything to me!"
Hearing what he said, I tilted my head...and fell asleep.
I had a really comfortable sleep this time. When I woke up, I was already on my way back to my country. Except that my body was still a little weak, everything was going well.
The team was marching slowly, and they also prepared a comfortable carriage for me, which the idiot prince used to ride in, and now it belongs to me.
I asked someone to lift the curtain of the carriage, and while admiring the scenery outside, someone was rubbing my stiff body. They were already doing this while I was sleeping.
"Hey, hey, hey..." I shouted to the female general passing by on horseback: "How about we come up and have a chat?"
She tilted her helmeted head, made a dismissive gesture, and rode away...
"Haha! Do you know how powerful it is?" Fichet's voice sounded: "I'll accompany you!"
He jumped from his horse onto the carriage, and as he walked in, he asked someone to lower the curtain.
"You're awake!" Fichet sat down next to me: "The conditions are not bad!"
"Just so-so..." I said.
"You guy..." Fichet shook his head: "After you exert your strength, you must have something corresponding..."
"It's good to know." I said, "Who arranged this carriage? It's very popular!"
"The temple!" He answered me with a smile: "Those white-robed priests."
This is beyond my expectation! When did these idiots become smart?
"I didn't expect it!" Fichet continued: "That's not all. There is a guy who has been following us all the way. He wants to award you a lot of medals and titles that can crush you to death in the Holy City..."
"Ah?" I opened my mouth wide: "Why?"
"Because you saved their lives." Fichet said: "In addition, we both got an invitation from the Temple of Light."
"You mean..." I blinked: "We are going to Paradise Island?"
"Yes! But before that we have to go back to the Holy Capital first." Fichet said: "Go back and put the agreement in place first."
"So." I asked Fichet: "Where is our army?"
"The soldiers accompanying us had almost no casualties." Fichet said: "Others..."
"How about it?"
"There are still about two hundred people in the Riva Empire's army, and the Pota army is gone! That general, the one named Paul Paule, was beheaded on the spot..."
"Then how many monsters have we killed?"
"I don't know." Fichet shook his head and said: "Anyway, the corpses of various monsters are spread all over the plain, chopped into pieces, burned into coke, trampled into pancakes...even places dozens of miles away.
Smell the stench. By the way, the sickle beast you dragged to death was the king of beasts. No wonder there were so many monsters chasing you at that time."
"Haha!" I smiled.
"Later, the 20,000 heavy cavalry simply overturned the lair of the monsters." Fichet gestured with his hands: "With the support of the magician, the crypt was demolished, the remaining monsters were killed, and then the crypt was blocked...
…A huge project!”
"It's really good." I said with a smile: "I don't think this place can be used for trials anymore."
At night, when I arrived at the camp, I took a walk in the company of everyone.
"Boss, do you know?" Jack said: "We have made money again! The Bota Empire lost us 8,000 horses, all of which have particularly good endurance!"
"Really?" I said, "How could they give up?"
"It's only eight thousand horses." Fichet said: "It is insignificant compared to their prince."
"Be sure to take good care of it!" I said to Jack: "Select the best ones and keep them for stud!"
"I know!" Jack said with a smile: "This is what the boss paid for with his life. But speaking of it, boss, you are not very handsome when you drag that old immortal monster..."
"Fuck you." I smiled and said, "You want me to do it again?"
While I was laughing and joking, I saw a little black thing on the side of the path.
"Jack, go and see what that is." I pointed to the roadside: "Be careful."
Jack ran over and soon picked up a small animal.
"Boss, look," he said, "It's something that looks like a horse. It's black and it's about to die!"
I took it over and took a look. This little guy indeed looked like a newborn foal. In addition to being all black, there was also a hard bump on the top of his head. The only characteristic was that he was extremely ugly! He looked sickly.
And also stunted.
"Forget it, Cohen." Fichet said to me: "Although the color looks more suitable for you, it is almost dead..."
"No, I want to keep it." I untied my robe and wrapped it around its small body: "I will save it."
"Stop being stubborn." Fishette said, "Cohen, you don't have any milk to feed it."
"I didn't." I walked towards my room without looking back: "You guys think of a way for me!"
It was not a whim, but after I had just experienced a brutal killing... I always felt that life should be treated kindly, not to mention that this little thing looked so fragile. As if I could save it, I could forget about being in the temple, in the temple.
All the unhappy things that happened under that altar were a psychological compensation for myself.
I named it "Little Crow", but Fichet's many protests were rejected by me.
There is only one advantage of being the boss, and that is that after you make a decision, you can sit back and watch many people working on it for you.
I called the magician to treat the little crow, and his carefulness caused the female general to pay attention to me many times, and finally gave me four words - "Playing with things makes you lose your mind!"
I send people out every day to catch animals, no matter their size, as long as they have milk. The wet nurse who is caught has only one fate: to be hung upside down in my carriage to feed the little crow, and the last drop of milk will not be squeezed out.
There will be no freedom.
Because of this, I was scolded as a "pervert" by the female general. Am I more outrageous than her idiot prince? No! Forget it, I am a grown man and even the Scythe Beast King was dragged to death by me. With her,
What do women have to care about?
By the time we arrived at the border of the Sbia Empire, I had raised the little crow to be fat and strong, and its black fur was shining in the sun. It could already run behind my carriage. It made Fichet and others shout, "It's a pity."
.Hehe, do you regret it now? It’s too late!
Although I had a large carriage and a dozen maids who belonged to me along with the carriage, as soon as I entered the country of Sbia, I still got on the horse.
Firstly, I can play with the little crow, and secondly, I still like to ride a horse and be with my brothers.
After meeting the cavalry waiting for us at the border, we headed towards the Holy Capital.
The fame of me and my Dark Army became a household name overnight, and I wasn't surprised at all - after all! I was a celebrity before.
Even the cavalry who escorted us to the Holy Capital felt very proud on their faces. After all, they were considered one of them! But, they looked at me a little strangely, as if they were a little afraid of me...
On the day we arrived in the Holy Capital, the streets were basically deserted. Everyone ran to the streets to see the neat appearance of their country's army. They all wanted to see the guy who only knew how to fight at the city gate a while ago, but is now a hero.
.
Of course, I will not forget to take a look at His Royal Highness Prince Fichet, whose face is a hundred times more beautiful than the seven-color flower, and whose temperament is so elegant that even the high priest of the Holy City Temple cannot compare.
I was confused by the noise along the way, and finally arrived at the palace. I was told that His Majesty and his wife, as well as the Dark Moon Governor and his wife, were waiting to see us in the back garden.
"Your Majesty said." This is indeed what the chamberlain said: "Come in when the two little guys are crazy enough."
Basically, this meeting was very harmonious, except that my mother also criticized my dress.
"You're right," my mother said, "Why are you dressed like this? You're as dark as...like...I don't even know how to describe you!"
"Don't listen to your mother." Your Majesty understands me: "Wear whatever you like, as long as your buttocks are bare!"
"What are you talking about!" Aunt Nasher glanced at His Majesty: "Teaching children indiscriminately!"
"Okay, okay." His Majesty smiled: "Actually, I came to you two today because I have something to tell you face to face."
"Both of us?" I pointed at myself.
To be continued...
