Alien Knights

Chapter 239: Uninvited guest from the sky

Todd first looked at the "cage" made of wood in front of him amusedly, and then looked down at the twine like zongzi wrapped around his wrist.

If he wants, he can break the rope and break the cage in less than ten seconds. But the question is, where can I go even if I escape?

Rachel was still in high fever, Ayesha fractured her leg, and in the vast land of the North, wanting to enter the "Land of Shadows" without a guide is tantamount to idiotic dreams.

It was getting darker and darker. Most people in the barbarian camp went back to their houses to prepare dinner. Only a few naughty children remained outside the wooden cage, watching the cage with fear and curiosity. Every move of the man.

The barbarian old man with all white beards was responsible for guarding the cage. He placed his hunting bow next to the wooden stakes in the camp. The surplus children rushed back to their respective homes.

Todd and the old man were left with big eyes and small eyes.

"That...is there anything to eat?" Todd recalled that he hadn't eaten any rice in a day, and his stomach was panicking now.

Seeing the old man indifferent, Todd realized that he was speaking in lingua franca, and the other party must not understand it.

Making a motion of extending his hand to his mouth, Todd looked at the old man with hope, but he just hummed twice before leaning on the wooden stake to fall asleep, ignoring his plan at all.

Todd, helpless, could only sit down and endure hunger.

I don't know how long it took, a familiar voice sounded in Todd's ear, and he looked up. Rachel, holding a wooden staff, carrying a small cloth bag, was arguing with each other in front of the old man.

A few minutes later, the old man covered his head and screamed, and waved his hand vigorously, looking like he had given up rebuttal.

Rachel walked to the cage and opened the cloth bag, which contained a wooden tube of water and two pieces of bran cake baked from grass seeds.

"The life of the barbarians here is difficult, there is really no decent food." Rachel looked back at the wary old man.

Todd grabbed a piece of cake and delivered it to his mouth. He didn't care about the rough and tasteless ingredients and the unswallowed texture. He asked as he ate, "Didn't the barbarian army have ransacked Silver Ring? If I remember correctly, , This time should have come back, why are these people's lives so poor?"

After strenuously moving a wooden pier and placing it next to the wooden cage as a chair, Rachel sat down slowly and said to Todd: "There are long and short explanations about this matter. Which one do you want to hear? "

Todd patted the wooden cage lightly with his hand, and said with a wry smile: "It's long, what I don't lack now is time..."

"The land in the wild north can be roughly divided into the northern region and the southern region. More than a thousand years ago, most of the barbarians in the northern and southern regions were in the primitive clan stage. In the second battle, the northern region gradually absorbed the advanced ideas of imperial civilization, established many monarchy kingdoms, and had a complete organizational army, more advanced smelting technology, and a political system similar to that of the parish."

Feeling the night breeze getting colder, Rachel wrapped the cloak he was carrying with him tightly, and continued: "The barbarians in the southern region adhere to the legacy of their ancestors and continue to live and fight in a clan system. Although historically There used to be barbarian leaders who wanted to establish a kingdom in the southern region, but without exception they lost to tradition."

"In terms of religion, most of the barbarian kingdoms in the northern region believe in the Danu tribe, whose doctrines are influenced by the "Bible" of the Tyro Empire period, and record events such as "Genesis" and "The Great Flood"; while in the southern region, they believe in the Three Ancients. God, the **** of the sun, the **** of the moon, and the **** of fire."

"With the change of times, the barbarian kingdoms in the northern region have become stronger and stronger through annexation and alliances, while the barbarian clans in the southern region are still scattered. As the power gap between the two sides has increased, the north and the south have finally become stronger. War has been declared..."

Todd sighed: "The former brother has become the slave of today."

Rachel nodded: "As the victor, the barbarian kingdoms in the northern region divided up the various tribes in the southern region and merged them into their respective kingdoms as vassals. After that, each tribe must regularly turn in to the overlord. It is necessary to provide soldiers during the war, but the spoils are basically attributed to the northern kingdom."

The barbarian old man walked to the cage and drank a few times in dissatisfaction.

Rachel reluctantly shook his head, struggled to stand up, and finally said to Todd: "This old man's name is Fried, and he has a relationship with me. As long as we don't cause chaos, he promised not to target us. ."

Seeing the figure of the woman going away, there was nothing to do so Todd closed his eyes, and the fatigue of the day quickly helped him to sleep.

Early the next morning, Todd was awakened from his sleep by a sharp eagle roar.

When he opened his eyes and looked into the distance, an incredible scene completely dispelled his sleepiness.

The rising sun swept the faintly bright sky, and a huge figure flying with wings spread out from the clouds and went straight to the barbarian camp.

The sharp beak of the eagle, the long tail of the lion, and the dark wings are clearly a Griffin beast that only exists in myths and legends!

Todd climbed to the front of the wooden cage, grabbed the pillar with his tied hands, opened his eyes, and said to himself: "I'm dreaming? How could there be such a thing in another world?!"

The barbarian old man Fried roared loudly, his hunting bow was held in his hand, but the stringed arrow was trembling slightly.

As the Griffins approached, the barbarian camp seemed to explode. The men took up their weapons and walked out of the house to wait for them, while the women guarded their children at the door.

The Griffin beast flew to the top of the camp, circled a few times, and suddenly began to dive and dive. Its target of attack first chose a low arrow tower. With the remaining force of the downward thrust and sharp claws, the wooden building is like a child's toy, instantly turning into a pile of wood.

The barbarians fought back, smashing arrows, spears, slings, and even mud on the griffon like raindrops.

These attacks had little effect, not only did not cause substantial damage to the monster, but ignited the opponent's anger.

Waving wings that are as hard as a rock, the Griffin shot an adult man into the air, and then pecked another person's Sky Spirit Cap with his beak.

Red mixed with white, splashed on the red soil of the camp.

The barbarian men began to frighten, they formed a semicircle and began to gradually recede into the woods.

Looking at the retreating enemy, the Griffin screamed into the sky, spreading its wings and standing up. Then, like picking trophies, it ran to the barn in the camp and took a look, and finally picked up the largest goat and wanted to leave.

At this moment, a boy who looked less than five years old took advantage of his mother's attention~lightnovelpub.net~ and rushed to the back of the Griffin with a wooden stick and slammed it on its tail.

The unprepared Griffon let out a whine, then let go of the prey in its mouth, turned around angrily, and stared at the attacker in front of him.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

The boy's mother ran out of the house crying and shielded her son with her body.

Fried yelled something, the bow and arrow in his hand had just been raised, and a loud noise came from behind him, making him sit on the ground in fright.

Todd pushed aside the torn cage in front of him, and shook off the hemp rope that was broken into several pieces on his wrist. The luster of steel slowly spread all over his body. While twisting his shoulders, he smiled and said: "The rest time is too long, people It's almost rusty, and it's time to move your hands and feet!"
