Chapter 64: Into the Forest
"Are you all here?" asked Alex, wiping his sword with a white cloth and turning his back to the door.
Becaron, who was standing outside the door, bowed respectfully and replied, "Young Master Alex, the young men of the whole village have been recruited, and they are waiting for you at the fountain in the center of the village!"
"Very good!" Alex put down the white cloth and returned the sword to its sheath, "you go to the warehouse yourself and get 10 pounds of dried meat as a reward." ”
"Thank you, Master Alex!" Becaron was overjoyed. He can only eat a mouthful of meat in almost a month, and he has long been hungry.
Alex came to the square near the fountain in the center, and sure enough, the whole village was here. My father's subordinates, and now his subordinates, are closely supervising the villagers.
"Young Master Alex!" Becaron rushed over as soon as he took the dried meat and stored it, rubbing his hands together with a sneer, and said, "The men in the village from 15 to 50 years old are basically here, and the number of people is 547 in total!"
"Hmm!" Alex said coldly as he walked to the front of the chaotic procession, looking at the villagers with extreme reluctance on their faces, but also fearful and fearful, "Everyone, you are the strongest men in the village. From today onwards, you will also be my Alex's private militia team! My father was unjustly killed, and the soul of the dead cannot rest in peace. As the Son of Man, I will use my sword to seek justice for my father!, however, my enemies have fled into the terrifying Monster Forest, and that cowardly foreigner has resorted to the most despicable means to evade my revenge! This is an undying vendetta, so I am here to ask you to give me the greatest help, let us unite and fight into the Warcraft Forest, find that hateful foreigner, and get rid of him to avenge my father and my Perrin!"
"Ao~~" Only Alex's subordinates shouted at the scene, and all the villagers looked at him with the same hatred. But no one dared to resist, no one dared to disobey him. Because he is the heir to the rank of the village chief, he controls the strong subordinates of the village chief, and he is also a town guard with a special identity, and even has the qualifications to become the next captain of the town guard!
The power of the village chief and the town guards, coupled with the fact that the weak parents and children of the men in the village are under Alex's control, even if they are unhappy, the men can only obey obediently.
"Now, each of you will be given a wooden spear and a wooden bow!Whoever has a weapon should bring it with him!" Alex drew his sword and shouted, "Half an hour to prepare, and then go!!"
"Son, what are you going to do? Will you be able to come back alive after entering the Demonic Beast Forest?"
"Woo~~ Dad, don't go!"
"This Alex, who has been stabbed with a thousand cuts, his father is a bastard, and he is even more excessive as a son!"
"Brother, if you encounter a demonic beast, you must hide!
"Ollie, you must come back safely!"
The men returned home to prepare, and the family members all had sad expressions. Even on the outskirts of the Warcraft Forest, there are often villagers who are attacked by fierce beasts or monsters while collecting wild fruits or chopping wood. And on the night of the blood moon, terrifying undead creatures will roam the forest.
Let the men enter the Warcraft Forest, Alex is simply taking them to death!
However, no one in the village dared to resist, and after half an hour of goodbye, all the men gathered in the square one after another.
"Let's go!!" Alex mounted his horse and walked at the front of the group. He was sure that the alien was hiding somewhere in the Monster Forest. Because except for the road leading to the deepest part of the Warcraft Forest, he had already sent someone to monitor the other locations. However, a day passed, and no foreigners were seen.
The alien's party must have been hiding somewhere, waiting for a chance to escape.
In short, no matter whether the other party is alive or dead, Alex must find him! Otherwise, his father's hatred and Perrin's hatred will be difficult for him to let go of in this life.
More than 600 people from the young village man and Alex's subordinates led him into the Warcraft Forest along the way.
This time it was much more cautious than before, and Alex led the team around the territory of the horned ape, trying to make their way through safer paths.
"Morens!!" However, the dangers of the Monster Forest were not so easy to dodge, and a platypus about the size of a dinosaur stopped at the front of the group, causing the villagers to scream in terror.
"Don't hold back! Don't blame me for being merciless with my sword if you dare to retreat!" Alex shouted, "Think of your parents, wives and children, they are still waiting for your return!
Hearing this, the men knew that if they ran away, Alex would definitely attack his loved ones. At this time, there was no choice but to raise their wooden spears one after another, draw their wooden bows and attack the giant platypus that stood in their way.
"Boom!!" Under the siege of more than six hundred young people, the giant platypus finally fell.
However, the villagers also paid the tragic price of more than 20 sacrifices and more than 40 minor injuries!
"Keep going!!" Alex didn't give them a chance to grieve, and immediately urged to continue the march after giving the order to bury the body.
This huge team of villagers reluctantly led by him to fight all kinds of ferocious beasts along the way. For the sake of their parents, wives and children at home, they did their best to be able to successfully complete the task and return home safely.
But the forest won't sympathize with them, and the beasts won't let them go.
The further you go, the more casualties there are in the ranks of the villagers. That is, in just a few hours of marching, more than 600 people when they left the village have now lost more than 120 people!
"Look!!Master Alex, there's a wall there!" Just as Alex was losing his patience, Becaron suddenly pointed into the distance and exclaimed.
"City walls, how can there be walls in the Monster Forest?" Alex immediately rode forward, and saw a walled building standing in the forest.
The extent of the city wall is about the size of a village, and it is far from the real city, and countless short figures can be seen busy in the city, but it is too far away to see whether it is human or not.
"Young Master Alex, that foreigner must be there!" Becaron's eyes lit up, "If you go inside, you will be in the territory of the Demonic Beasts, and it is impossible for that foreigner to go in and die." So this is a secret base he built! I see, the foreigner wants to use this as a base to build a hidden hiding place. Then when the time is right, we will surprise our Majestic Wind Empire with lightning speed!"
