Chapter 352 Hunting (VII)

Before dawn, everyone started to prepare .

There were no stray horses to be seen near the hunting pen, and the horses were all digging their heads into the feed; the hunters checked the bows and arrows one by one, grinding and grinding the arrows.

When the first rays of sunlight fell on Qingqiu, the hunters of all tribes rushed out of the camp and spontaneously moved towards the hunting ground to gather.

The hooves thundered, the smoke covered the sun, the hounds barked, and the horses neighed.

"Ms. Navarre, please don't do anything dangerous." Lieutenant Colonel Moritz politely expressed his concern: "You are not frightened?"

"Please rest assured. ." Anna replied with a smile. She didn't feel scared, just pity.

Just listening to the sound of rolling hooves, Anna seemed to be able to see the magnificent sight of ten thousand horses galloping like a huge wave.

However, as part of the huge wave, Anna could only see a dozen or so petals of the flattery when she stood on the horse, and she ate a lot of ashes.

Unfortunately, the only place nearby that overlooks all living beings is Qingqiu, and not everyone can go to Qingqiu.

The members of the mission have all changed into herdsmen's attire at this time.

Because the Tiefeng County Mission and the Bad Earth Department knew each other, the little lion arranged for the Bad Earth Department hunters to accompany the Tiefeng County team to participate in the hunting.

Everyone rode with the Bad Earth Department, and finally stopped outside the felt wall of the hunting ring, waiting for the order.

Hundreds of large and small tribes and nearly 30,000 hunters were quickly diluted by hunting rings with a diameter of [two ends].

[Note: the two ends are about ten kilometers]
The hunting circle delineated by the Chihe Department is too large. Even if all hunters stand by the felt wall, they have to walk at least two steps on average. to meet the next person. Therefore, people in Tiefeng County did not feel crowded at all.

The sun has fully risen, and the group of palace tents above Qingqiu has become clearly visible, as well as groups of prey.

The mission members who signed up for the hunt were nervous and eager to have a try.

Except for Father Carman, the blacksmith Bellion, and a few people who like quietness, all the other members signed up, and no one wanted to miss this rare big scene.

Old Sergey consciously assumed the duties of a sergeant. While helping other people check the equipment, he repeatedly said, "Listen to the puppies! This is the territory of the barbarians! There must be no conflict with the barbarians! It's not allowed to reveal their identities..."

"When will it start?" Washika kept his mouth dry, and kept saying: "When will it be our turn?" Ka's words, sullenly replied: "Start, soon. It's your turn and I, very slowly. Get off the horse first and rest."

"Huh?" Wasika's eyes widened.

Koshihachi frowned, took out an arrow, and drew a row of circles on the ground from big to small.

He first pointed to the largest circle: "King Khan". Then point to the middle circle and the small circle in turn: "Leader, you and me."

Koshihachi looked directly into Vashka's eyes, said solemnly: "one by one, don't mess up. The small is the big one. Before, it will bleed."

"What do you mean?" Vashka seemed to understand.

"What he means is that the hunting has to take turns, and the high-ranking ones will go first. It should be our turn very late." Pierre came to the crowd and ordered loudly: "Everyone Get off the horse and rest for a while!"

Washka immediately got off the horse, and the others obeyed Pierre's order as well.

Although theoretically, the person with the highest status on the scene was Lieutenant Colonel Moritz. But in the days of his return, Pierre has regained his status as "Blood Wolf's deputy" - by taking on a lot of work and instilling unnoticeable influence.

Moritz didn't care how Mr. Mitchell built his reputation. Some people are willing to give orders, but the lieutenant colonel is happy to relax.

He slowly got off his horse and looked around—there wasn't even a stone to rest his legs on.

Moritz wasn't picky either. He sat on the floor beside the felt wall and took out a pocket water bottle from his pocket.

As soon as the stopper was removed, Ms. Navarre's soft voice came from in front of him: "Don't you want to go hunting?"

Ana led the horse and watched curiously Lieutenant Colonel.

Moritz took a sip of kumiss, and answered without raising his eyelids, "Because Winters asked me to protect you."

"Protection can be done in shifts, but in big hunting, I can only protect you. After one experience, are you really not participating?"

"I don't like hunting."

"Why?" Anna refused to give up.

Moritz received the words peacefully: "Why do you ask?"

"Because Mr. Montagne doesn't like hunting either, but he won't say why." Anna earnestly sighed: "He respects you, so I want to know your answer."

Moritz sighed: "I only know what I think."

"Please say ."

"Then, Ms. Navarre, first tell me what hunting is."

"I don't understand..."

"Suppose, Hunting is physical labor." Moritz spread his hands: "Then the reason why I don't like hunting is very simple - I am too lazy to move."

Anna was sensitively aware that the lieutenant colonel didn't finish his words: " Are there any other assumptions?"

Moritz smiled and sat up slightly: "Yes. Assuming hunting is a recreational activity, then my answer is simpler."

Anna waited quietly for an answer.

Moritz whispered, "Killing wild beast doesn't give me fun."

Ana was silent for a moment, and Moritz didn't say anything more.

Anna pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "I don't quite understand what you mean, but I understand one thing - you are a very gentle person."

True Moritz, sipping kumiss, coughed violently as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke.

At this moment, twelve long horns sounded simultaneously on Qingqiu.

The horn with strong penetrating power spreads outward from Qingqiu, continuously and clearly entering everyone's ears.

The attention of everyone in Tiefeng County was instantly concentrated, because the message conveyed by the horn sound could not be wrong - the hunting is about to start!

"Are you here?!" Wasika ran excitedly to the edge of the felt wall, craned her neck and looked out: "Where is it?"

Other people also came over , The crowd waited anxiously, leaning against the felt wall.

Akagawa didn't keep the "audience" waiting too long.

Suddenly, groups of white smoke spewed out from the top of Qingqiu. The sound of the horn stopped suddenly, and the loud thunder followed one after another:

"Long!!!"

Inside the hunting ring, wild beasts such as deer, sheep, donkeys, etc. Startled by the thunder, he began to run blindly.

Old Sergey suddenly froze: "Cannons?"

"Of course.">

Washika clenched her fists and said angrily: "Isn't it hidden well before? Now it's not hidden anymore!"

"It used to be the past, and now it is now. ." Pierre also clenched his fists: "The artillery alone is not enough for the Chihe Department, you have to let others know that they have it."

"Hey!" Wasika fiercely kicked He stepped on the felt wall: "What big hunting? It's just a show!"

There was a chorus of sympathy from the crowd in Tiefeng County, who also had bad memories.

Only Lieutenant Colonel Moritz made a light defense for the Chihe Department: "The essence of all ceremony is performance."

Pierre wanted to say something to refute . But when he turned back, all he saw in the eyes of the Bad Earth hunters was envy, admiration, and jealousy.

Pierre had to admit in his heart that the lieutenant colonel was right - no matter how they were viewed by outsiders, this opening performance had been a great success for the Chihe Department.

While speaking, someone exclaimed, "What is that?"

Everyone looked at the sound, and a gap suddenly opened in the felt wall facing Northwest.

More than a dozen riders jumped into the hunting ground from the gap.

All the riders wore white armor and rode white horses. Only the front one was wearing a red armor and a red horse under the crotch, which was very eye-catching under the white armor and white horses.

azure azure with one stroke and nine ponytails followed closely behind the red-armored rider.

"That's the barbarian chief?" asked old Sergey in a low voice.

A thunderous cheer answered the old Dussack's question.

As far as the eyes of everyone on the mission could be, the hunters of Heard, regardless of tribe, were all shouting and cheering: "Yasin! Yassin! Yassin..."

Pierre At the same time, Er noticed that the shock and panic displayed by the nearby Heard people who looked like leaders were no less than the people in Tiefeng County.

As soon as the red-armored rider enters the hunting ring, he immediately starts chasing the prey. I saw him draw a bow and an arrow, and shoot at a gallop, even if he killed his prey, he would not stop.

The white-armored riders who follow closely from behind will pick up the corpse of the prey with a long pole and show it to the hunters without reservation.

At the same time, Qingqiu will fire a salute every time a hunter is picked on the club head, and the hunters who have witnessed the white lion's vigorous posture will also cheer.

While other people either concentrated their attention completely, or watched with disdain as the red-armored rider galloped and hunted, Anna took out her drawing board and asked anxiously, "When will you see Mr. Montagne?"

"Winters?" Lieutenant Colonel Moritz said casually, "Isn't he with the white lion's brother?"

"Then when will we see the lion cub?"

"Immediately." Knowing the relationship between the men and women in front of him and Batu, Kuoshhaqi explained flatteringly: "First the Khan King, then the Khan King's brother, then Zhubu Nayan, and then All the nobles, and then the hunters..."

"But the white lion has already appeared, why hasn't the little lion appeared yet?"

"This..."

Lieutenant Colonel Moritz sighed for Koshhachi: "Ms. Navarre, have you ever seen a pack of wolves divide their flesh?"

"Sorry, no."

"Where's the dog?"

"...Neither."

"Then I say, just listen. The wolves are strictly hierarchical, and the big wolves eat meat. The little wolf can only watch when the big wolf is full." Lieutenant Colonel Moritz talked about it: "The same should be true of the Hurd tribes. The white lion has not finished hunting, The little lion will not appear."

Ana looked towards Kuoshhaqi inquiringly, and Kuoshhaqi was heavily nodded.

"Don't worry, you'll see Winters soon." Lieutenant Colonel Moritz was in a good mood and rarely played said with a smile: "But as far as I know, we are respectable The Captain is not good at bow and arrow, you should pray that he will not be in public..."

Without any sign, Lieutenant Colonel Moritz's voice stopped abruptly. In an instant, he seemed to have become another person, and the faintly discernable smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared completely.

Everyone in the audience noticed the change in the lieutenant colonel and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What's the matter? Lieutenant Colonel." Anna asked cautiously.

Lieutenant Colonel Moritz narrowed his eyes slightly.

Everyone followed the line of sight of the lieutenant colonel. The red-armored rider was chasing the prey on his horse, and he couldn't see anything wrong.

"Give me your quiver," Lieutenant Colonel Moritz said coldly to Koshkach.

Koshihachi didn't hesitate, and immediately put his quiver in both hands.

"It's not the savage chief who is chasing prey now." Lieutenant Colonel Moritz pulled out all the arrows and broke them off one by one in the eyes of everyone, but his tone was unusually calm. : "It's the prey chasing the barbarian chief."

Before he finished speaking, there was another thunder.

This time the thunder was different from the celebratory cannon salute, it was closer, clearer and more deafening.

"My God!" Someone from Tiefeng County exclaimed.

The shouts and shouts of the Hurds also converged into huge waves, beating everyone's hearts.

The severed limbs and mud flew into the sky, and the extremely frightened herd rushed to all directions like crazy. The original position of the red-armored rider was engulfed by smoke and blood mist.

Old Sergey's eyes were as big as cowbells: "Burning smoke!"

Behind the horizon, several beacon smokes were piercing straight into the sky.

In an instant, everyone realized what was happening.

The next moment, like water into boiling oil, the leaders of each family screamed for their children, and the Hurd people rushed to the war horses. Some mounted without the slightest hesitation, others rushed into the hunting ring desperately.

“What shall we do?” Wasika asked in horror.

"Wait." Lieutenant Colonel Moritz answered lightly.

In the hunting ground, a white-armored rider rushed into the smoke and blood mist, and dragged the red-armored rider out from under the corpse of the red-eyed steed.

"Alive?" the white-armored rider asked.

"No... not dead..." The little lion tore off his helmet, blood dripping from his left ear. Because of the red armor, the blood and dirt were mixed together, and it was impossible to see where his torso was injured for a while.

The little lion coughed violently, and every time the chest rose and fell, there were traces of blood: "What...how to do..."

Winters picked up the little lion: "Qingqiu ."
