CH 49

The wind blew up the snow particles in the mountains and forests and landed rustlingly on the tents that had already been set up.

The pitch-black tent roof was covered with a thin layer of snow. It was shaken and swept down after a person lifted the curtain to enter the tent, and it scattered on the brown ground.

Walker returned from Gaynor’s palace but did not see Xia Zuoyi in the tent.

He closed the heavy curtains to keep the cold wind outside the tent, and asked, “Where is the lord?”

Inside the huge tent sat Udit, Fernandi, and others, discussing things together.

Hearing this, Udit said, “The lord took Briquette and the others out to get some air. After all, the space inside is a bit small compared to them.”

Walker nodded, stood on the edge of the tent, and took off his sword.

He walked over and sat down beside Fernandi, clasped his hands behind his head, and laughed, “You’ll be angry. His Majesty, the King of Gaynor, also really wants to take Bruno Green’s head. If he is one step ahead of you…”

“No.”

Fernandi said lightly, “Bruno Green will only be killed by me.”

Walker’s smile deepened. He hammered Fernandi’s shoulder with his fist, “Of course, I never doubted that.”

Just then.

There was a loud eagle screech resonating in the sky. The soldiers standing guard outside the tent subconsciously raised their heads but didn’t catch the fast shadow among the clear sky and white clouds.

The soldiers did not look surprised.

Instead, they continued to stand calmly with their spears. Before long, the tent behind them was opened.

Udit, Walker, and others came out of it.

They stood there and waited quietly.

Soon, a snow-white shadow swiftly swooped down, unable to be seen clearly with the naked eye, then the huge figure gradually appeared. It’s like a thunderbolt.

The wings of the bird, with its huge wingspans, created extremely strong air currents between each flap. Even when it’s not yet close, a little bit farther away, its wings still bring up strong winds, blowing down the snowflakes on the tents. Even the snow on the treetops is constantly stirred.

Then, the snow was scattered on the soldiers’ armor or on the ground that had already thawed a little.

Seeing that snow-white shadow rushing into the garrison, its talons, which are as sharp as iron metal and full of cold light, had already appeared in front of them.

The people in the barracks did not panic or move at all. They were all calm.

Even, the corners of Walker’s lips and others showed a soft smile.

At this moment, just as the huge snow-white figure was about to fall rapidly among the soldiers, the powerful wings shook suddenly, whirling gracefully.

Immediately afterward, it calmly landed on the bare tree trunk. The bird’s sharp claws that grabbed the tree trunk suddenly trembled, and the snow on it fell to the ground.

Udit and the others looked up.

This is a costin covered with snow-white feathers, a sharp beak and claws, and a pair of cyan-gold eyes that are both beautiful and keen.

At this moment, he was looking straight at everyone because he lowered his head slightly.

On the top of the costin’s head and the end of his wings, there is a very light and very shallow light greenish-blue color, which is not obvious at ordinary times. The beautiful lines that are connected to each other can only be seen between body movements.

Many soldiers couldn’t help holding their breath. They irresistibly raise their heads to admire this beautiful and thrilling creature.

And then, the creatures who also made them tremble are also walking towards the barracks.

Udit, Fernandi, and the others looked in the distance.

The actions of beasts before they catch their prey are always silent. They only launch a fatal attack at the most critical moment.

This is not the time to hunt.

So their pace is leisurely and comfortable. When stepping on the snow, their thick paws make slight “creak” sounds. The tail behind them also swings from side to side, indicating that they’re in a very good mood. Obviously, they have just come back from a walk.

After a while.

The three beasts crossed between the branches and trees and came to the front of the crowd. Their extremely tall and strong bodies could almost reach the chest of adults.

Heavy shadows are cast around them, which cannot be ignored by anyone.

Walking in the forefront is a black and imposing tiger, and a little behind him is a white tiger pacing gracefully.

A little further behind, it’s a golden lion that seemed to shine with brilliant rays of light.

They are beasts. They are undoubtedly dangerous and frightening.

Even when walking leisurely, they’re surrounded by an imposing aura that makes the soldiers feel palpitation and fear.

However, if you look closely, you can find that there’s also a smaller black spot walking in the middle of the beasts.

If you don’t pay much attention to it, it’ll be completely inadvertently hidden in the fur of the three beasts.

The snow-white ground has been trampled to pieces.

The three beasts came closer and closer, and soon all of them entered the camp. Standing on the thick and strong branches, the costin lowered his head at this moment, and his cyan-gold eyes involuntarily showed a sense of closeness. 

The soldiers’ breathing immediately changed, and their expressions were filled with respect and admiration.

Udit, Walker, and the others’ facial features soften, patiently waiting for the most central figure to appear in front of them.

The beasts stepped aside.

A man in a black cloak came out of the middle. It was Xia Zuoyi.

He was thickly wrapped by Udit, his cloak completely covering his whole body, totally shielding him from the constantly blowing freezing wind.

White fluff was sewn on the edge of the cloak’s cap, which trembled slightly in the wind, and occasionally swept across the clear face inside.

Xia Zuoyi grew tall. The baby fat on his cheeks had faded a little at this time. His caramel-colored eyes were bright as stars, and his pink lips were beautifully curved, which showed his excellent mood.

The tip of his fluffy and soft hair curled slightly out of the cloak, sticking to his ears and the side of his face. He looked very cute.

“My lord.”

Udit and the others bowed slightly, with a respectful expression.

Xia Zuoyi reached out from his cloak, moved the wide brim of his hat back a little, and nodded to them.

He then looked up at the costin, who’s constantly weighing down the trunk due to his weight.

He couldn’t help saying, “Green Dumpling, you’re so slow to go back. Did you run to play on the road again?” 

“Tweet.” 

The costin makes a coquettish sound. He wants to spread his wings and flutter twice, but his wings are too big to spread among the branches.

The tree trunk under his sharp talons seemed to break, making “kacha, kacha” sounds.

“Fly down.”

Xia Zuoyi helplessly said, “Otherwise, this will be the 19th time you’ve broken a tree trunk.” 

Green Dumpling seems to have no clear knowledge of his height and weight.

He’s not an ordinary eagle, and naturally, he’s not an ordinary costin either. He can stand up to a height of 1.5 to 1.6 meters and the length of his wings can reach up to 7 or 8 meters. He can lift an adult into the air. 

Not to mention the sharp beak and claws of Green Dumpling, as emitting cold light, are absolutely lethal weapons.

The average thick tree trunk simply cannot bear his sharp claws and weight, but this bird is very unaware of it.

At Xia Zuoyi’s call, Green Dumpling flew from the trunk and landed on the ground.

Udit and others stepped back to make room.

“Tweet.”

Green Dumpling lowered his head and slightly raised a paw. It looked a little silly.

Udit walked forward, squatted down, and fetched a small wooden tube tied to Green Dumpling’s paw. Inside it was the messages from Taylor, Mike, and others.

Not long ago, the Desinian Territory received a letter of help sent secretly from Wright.

The letter said that Bruno Green and the Helgeda Kingdom joined forces and approached step by step, and Wright had no extra fighting power.

He had to show great sincerity and enough benefits to ask for Xia Zuoyi’s help.

After this.

Xia Zuoyi got the conditions that satisfied him before secretly taking his men into the territory of Gaynor.

He’s going to watch Bruno Green die, then take over Gaynor.

Xia Zuoyi ordered the black and white cavalry to be divided into two groups.

The first team was led by Fernandi and Walker in the royal city close to Gaynor; another team was led by Taylor and Mike to make a detour to the rear of Bruno Green’s cavalry to facilitate the pincer attack on both sides.

The real-time news of the march of the two parties is sent back and forth by Green Dumpling.

Green Dumpling is the highest and fastest costin. And because he’s covered in snow-white feathers, he’s even more difficult to track in the sky when flying.

And a few backs and forth in a day can also be done non-stop.

Now, the distance between the two cavalry teams is far apart.

Because Bruno Green is not close to the scope of the royal city, Taylor and the others need to go further back to carry out reconnaissance and surveillance at any time.

Green Dumpling can randomly fly back and forth within the time of an hourglass. Random means flying without full force.

As long as Green Dumpling is there, the two cavalry troops can pass on each other’s news more quickly and swiftly, making timely response strategies after grasping the dynamics of all parties at any time.

The message to be delivered today is not important.

The time for Green Dumpling to fly back was a bit slower than usual. Obviously, on the road somewhere, he played slowly and leisurely before arriving at the camp.

Xia Zuoyi took the note handed by Udit, then raised his eyebrows when he finished reading the content above. With a strange expression on his face, he said, “…Despicable and insidious.”

Walker was puzzled, “My lord, what’s written on it?”

Xia Zuoyi showed him the note.

Walker couldn’t help showing the same expression after reading it. He frowned and read the content out loud, “Taylor said Bruno Green kept two ferocious lions. Especially feeding them human flesh, and letting them chase and kill humans…”

“The two lions are said to have been prepared for Wright… Bruno Green calls them… Uh, the golden lion kings.”

After hearing this, everyone present couldn’t help but look different.

Then they set their eyes on the huge lion with golden fur behind Briquette and Snowball.

Xia Zuoyi even shouted, “Egg Yolk, come.”

“Ao.” 

The handsome glossy lion walked up to Xia Zuoyi’s side and rubbed his cloak with his darker mane. The tail behind him flicks happily.

098 shook his little stickman head in the system interface and said:【Host, the bad guy’s lions have stolen his name. They must not be as good as the Golden Lion King 098 gave to the host.】

“Gold” and “King” in various senses.

Xia Zuoyi answered in his mind with a smile.

In the past three years, 098 also went out for several trips one after another.

Every time he comes back, he will bring him gifts, one of which is the beautiful and powerful lion in front of him.

When he first came, he’s still a chubby little milk lion.

His favorite person is Xia Zuoyi. What he likes most is to run around behind him, Briquette, and Snowball.

And before going to bed, he must get into Briquette or Snowball’s nest.

In the beginning, the milk lion was a golden round dumpling, like an egg yolk.

Now he has grown into a tall and mighty appearance.

Xia Zuoyi gently touched the dense and thick mane on Egg Yolk’s head. His eyebrows curving, he said, “Egg Yolk is the most powerful lion king.”

“Ao.”
