The cute pet of the empire

This incident caused Mao Xiaohua to panic for a while, and Luo Huan also accompanied him, sitting quietly all night.

The moon in the sky was extremely round, and the leopard lay quietly in front of the window sill, looking at the man beside him.

What if... what if I never become an adult?

Will he still, like now, keep silently by his side?

Mao Xiaohua was a little cranky, she sniffed the air with her nose, and there was a strong floral fragrance in the air, which made people intoxicated.

When the first ray of light came out from the sun, the leopard jumped onto the tree outside the window, climbed to the highest point along the tree, and looked at the outline of the whole city of Meng.

Today should be the last day of staying in Mengcheng. In the afternoon, the army will set off to a place closer to the capital of El.

Hope, everything works.

The march of the troop is not slow. The cubs that have been trained have grown crazily in two months, and most of them are now seven or eight months old. From the perspective of human beings alone, it is impossible to see that they are different from adults. Leopard difference.

Mao Xiaohua walked among these leopards. He tried to keep his pace consistent with the other leopards, and turned his head from time to time to look at the long grass that seemed to grow overnight in the desert in the distance.

There were still traces of wild leopards in the long grass, but those wild leopards never approached again. They just followed behind the team without any haste, without knowing what their plans were.

When Luo Huan's army marched for the tenth day, the armies of both sides finally fought for the first time.

In this battle, the leopard army gave full play to their advantages. Nearly a hundred leopards roared in unison and rushed into the enemy's formation after the archers shot each other, which greatly caused the enemy's panic.

Biting the enemy's neck, scratching those people's intestines, these little hairy flowers are already familiar with it, and it cooperates with other leopards very tacitly.

After winning the first battle, Governor El could never have imagined that Luo Huan came so fast, not only fast, but the number of leopards he owned tripled.

Governor El quickly summoned the army, and when the army marched to No. 15 days, the armies of both sides encountered again.

This encounter was different from the previous ones.

El's elite troops finally appeared in this war. They were camel cavalry composed of [-] warriors. Those camels were armored, brave in combat, and durable to drought.

There are more than 20 other infantry, cavalry, and archers.

But in terms of numbers, Luo Huan's [-] troops are simply not enough.

But for this kind of frontal battlefield in the wilderness, Luo Huan is very confident.

He held a military meeting overnight and worked out a battle plan with his generals.

"Tomorrow morning, a general attack will be launched. The old method, the archers shoot first, and then the infantry phalanx and heavy cavalry strangle. I will lead the light cavalry to pursue."

"Where are the leopards?" Ma Tuo asked.

At this time, Mao Xiaohua was also in the tent, wagging his tail, carefully looking at the terrain layout map.

The location for this decisive battle was still by the river, neither Luo Huan nor the enemy would be foolish enough to drag their soldiers to the desert far away from the river to die.

When the white leopard heard the discussion about itself, it turned its ears almost invisible.

"This battle is all about strength. I think our infantry and cavalry are enough to kill the gathered El puppet army." Luo Huan raised his chin slightly, and his voice was full of confidence, "As for the legendary Five thousand elite camel soldiers, our heavy cavalry can completely crush them!"

Luo Huan's words meant that the leopards were not needed for this decisive battle.

Mao Xiaohua felt a little lost in her heart, but it wasn't strong. He had already participated in many battles. This time, the Leopard Army didn't have to fight, but she could still follow Luo Huan, running and chasing him.

Luo Huan reached out and touched Mao Xiaohua's ears, and the leopard's subtle emotional changes could not escape his eyes.

So Luo Huan thought for a while, and said: "This time, the leopard army will be arranged as a reserve team. If the situation is reversed, they can be used to intimidate the opponent's camels." Speaking of this, Luo Huan paused, smiled and said , "I have already observed El's troops, and we are sure to win this decisive battle! After defeating the enemy, we can drive straight into the capital of El without any obstacles!"

Several other generals also agreed with Luo Huan's point of view. Garuner stood up at this moment, walked up to Luo Huan, and bowed deeply to him.

In the past few months, whether it was a big battle or a small battle, Luo Huan was able to make accurate judgments every time, and he had never been defeated. Such a person made Garuner look up to him, and he was even more in awe.

Moreover, unlike Shah, Luo Huan did not kill randomly wherever he went. He released many imprisoned slaves, rescued those El people who had their noses and ears cut off because they could not pay heavy taxes, and Allow them to leave enough rations to live on.

For the El people who have been exploited by Shah all the year round, this is simply paradise.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the people of El, I hope that day will come soon."

Garrett said sincerely.

But Luo Huan's eyes didn't fall on Garuner, he just frowned and fell into another round of contemplation: Did this war start with a sneak attack?Or is it just fighting?

Both options are good, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it cannot be said that one is more correct.

So, Luo Huan, who was a little tangled in his heart, counted the number of times Mao Xiaohua's tail swayed: if it was an odd number, then tomorrow morning, the official battle will begin!

When the first ray of light came out of the sun the next day, the battle officially began.

This is Luo Huan's small number of battles in the wilderness.

All the troops lined up, goshawks flew overhead, soldiers holding spears lined up in a neat square formation, almost covering the entire ground, and Luo Huan reined in his horse and walked towards his soldiers, shouting loudly Speech, doing mobilization before the stand.

When Luo Huan's army had already put on a fighting posture, Governor El had already reflected it.

Most of El's army was infantry, and there were very few cavalry. The five thousand camel soldiers, clad in iron armor, reflected a cold light under the sunlight.

The horn of attack sounded almost at the same moment, and both sides began to shoot arrows.

At this moment, the arrows almost covered the sky, and the shouts of killing sounded from the side of the El people, but Luo Huan's army did not make any sound.

The soldiers of the infantry phalanx were calm and calm. They took out huge shields and piled them on top of each other to form an impenetrable wall. The archers hid behind the shield wall. , according to the command of the commander, raised the bow and arrow, and shot towards the sky.

Every time the archer shoots an arrow, the entire infantry phalanx will take a step forward, moving slowly but irresistibly.

Half an hour later, the armies of the two sides had already started to come into close contact. The archers withdrew their arrows and withdrew to the team. Soldiers with long spears began to step forward, like a meat grinder. Things can come close.

There were screams and the smell of blood began to permeate. With the sound of drums and horns, the two sides began to fight formally.

The phalanx formed by Mao Xiaohua and the leopards stayed at the rear of the entire army. The white leopard stretched its neck and looked at everything in the distance.

Even leopards rarely saw such a bloody strangulation, especially in such a disciplined and rhythmic battle, leopards really couldn't help much.

Even if Mao Xiaohua wants to rush to Luo Huan's side now, she must restrain herself.

You know, in Luo Huan's light cavalry team, those horses are galloping, and his presence is likely to hinder the speed of those cavalry.

Everything went as Luo Huan expected, the battle lasted from morning to noon, and at dusk the overall situation was decided.

Governor El finally dispatched his elite camel soldiers in the afternoon.

The camels howled, and the soldiers riding on them rushed towards Luo Huan's infantry phalanx with spears in hand.

The infantry phalanx once again formed a shield to block this attack, while the heavy cavalry team followed up and began to fight.

Luo Huan raised his head slightly, looking at Governor Shah in the distance, it was time for him to pursue him.

He yelled at the elite troops he personally led behind him: "Go!"

Thousands of Qingqi were dispatched, setting off boundless yellow sand.

Mao Xiaohua's eyes followed the eye-catching red tassel in the yellow sand. In the face of such an advantageous battle, there should be no need for the leopard to play.

Mao Xiaohua thought silently in her heart. He looked up and watched the sun in the sky gradually fall, the light gradually dimmed, and the moon began to appear dimly. The sun and the moon appeared in the sky of El at the same moment.

"Hmm!" Mao Xiaohua let out a low roar. For some reason, when she saw this scene, the blood in her body seemed to gurgle for a moment, and there was an indescribable feeling.

"Mao Yemao, what's wrong with you?" Galen, who was beside Mao Xiaohua, was the first to notice Mao Xiaohua's abnormality, and asked, flicking his tail.

Mao Xiaohua shook her head, but he didn't know either.

Today is not a special day, nor is it a full moon, it is just a very ordinary time.

But... there seems to be something, something is not quite right.

Mao Xiaohua felt that her blood was flowing a little fast, so she scratched her ear with her paw, but unexpectedly, she couldn't grasp the degree of severity, and even scratched a trace of blood.

"Oh~!" The two leopards near Mao Xiaohua sniffed the air vigorously with their noses, and the uneasy smell flowed among the leopards.

Mao Xiaohua also smelled that smell, which was a bit like musk, thick, with a hint of blood.

It sniffed vigorously, and it was the smell of blood flowing out of its own accidentally cut ear.

The white leopard licked his lips uneasily, and he suddenly remembered what Ma Tuo had said - the closer you get to El, the more the blood of your ancestors in your body will hear the call, and there may be very terrible things happening .

Mao Xiaohua felt the sound of blood flowing in her body, she shook her head vigorously, but her vision was blurred.

"Not good!"

He subconsciously wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, he felt an uneasy restlessness surging in his body.

The feeling was very strong, as if the huge water column was about to break through the wall, it was more violent than when it was in heat for the first time.

Even though today was not a special day, even though it was not evening yet, Mao Xiaohua instinctively felt something was wrong.

He didn't know what was waiting for him next, but... this was on the battlefield!

Whether it's transformation or something else, it's not suitable for me at all on a battlefield that is overcrowded and dangerous anytime and anywhere.

It started to stumble away, but this action caused commotion among other leopards.

Almost all leopards sniff the air with their noses.

That strong smell made the leopards feel uneasy, but it also carried a smell of fatal attraction, which made the leopards start to let out a low growl.

There were even a few bold leopards who started to lean over, smelling Mao Xiaohua with a greedy expression.

"Ma Tuo! There seems to be something wrong with the leopards!" Hao An was the first to notice the commotion here.

Ma Tuo, who was paying attention to the battlefield and was ready to be called at any time, hastily turned his gaze to the leopard group.

There are thousands of leopards who came to be the reserve team this time...

Those leopards have been trained before, and they will never act without hearing orders.

Yet now.

Almost every leopard's eyes revealed an anxious look. They unconsciously pawed something on the ground with their front paws, appearing extremely anxious.

The gazes of those leopards, and the movements of sniffing in the air, all pointed to the white leopard standing in the middle of the leopard team.

"It's so hot...so...uncomfortable..." Mao Xiaohua's eyes were already in chaos, and he subconsciously used his claws to grab her neck.

A bloodstain appeared, which made his body feel better, but soon, a hotter heat wave hit again.

His head was buzzing and he couldn't think of anything at all.

He just wanted to find a cooler place, a more... cooler place.

"Jon! Jon don't..."

The sound got farther and farther away, the white leopard looked up at the sky, the sky turned blood red, only in the distance, there was a clear blue like a clear spring.

Instinct drove it to jump over everything that hindered it, and ran towards the clear blue like a clear spring.

"Roar!"

"Ow!"

The leopards roared at the moment the white leopard's blood flowed out. They followed behind the white leopard, completely lost control, and began to attack their team.

"God!" Ma Tuo was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The white leopard ran fast, crossed the battlefield in an instant, and disappeared without a trace, while the other leopards, at this moment, roared like crazy, ran around disobeying orders, and turned the originally orderly battlefield into one. Instant confusion.

"What happened?!" Luo Huan noticed the abnormality in the rear and heard some people participating, so he turned his head on horseback.

The moon had already risen, and under the moonlight, a white leopard, with wounds on its body, crossed the battlefield and ran to the distant wilderness.

Behind him, those well-trained leopards began to fall into a state of mania, and even disrupted their original team.

In the front, camel soldiers who were coming fiercely and needed to fight to the death, while in the rear, the leopards suddenly rioted, the reason is unknown.

What's more, the white leopard... ran away suddenly.

"Hahaha!" Governor El, who was about to escape, laughed wildly when he saw this scene, "The Luna people are in a mess, don't be afraid, kill them for me!"

Luo Huan's lips were tightly pursed, his face was covered with blood, the battle that was supposed to be finalized, but at the last moment, such an accident happened.

Most of the enemy's forces have been wiped out, and victory is within easy reach.

"Retreat!" Luo Huan reined in his horse and gave such an order even though he was unwilling to do so.

"What!!" Felger, who was following Luo Huan, couldn't believe what he heard, "Are you crazy? Retreat? We fought from morning to night, how many people died, and now you say you want to retreat?! ", Sid pointed to the governor of El, who was less than 500 meters ahead, and roared at Luo Huan: "Luo Huan, the road ahead is the way to conquer El, you are going to retreat now?!"

Luo Huan's eyes rolled back and forth between Governor El in the distance and the chaotic leopard behind him.

The commotion caused by the leopards is getting bigger and bigger. If you ignore them, you can win the battle, but your own losses will also be very serious.

At least, he has seen some leopards rush into the crowd frantically and start to bite.

More importantly, Jon...Jon ran away suddenly, with blood on his body, and he couldn't ignore it in the wild.

"Retreat! Look for a decisive battle later!" Luo Huan turned his horse's head, extremely determined.

"Fuck!" Sid, who had never uttered foul words, couldn't help cursing, but he still resolutely carried out Luo Huan's order.

The light cavalry team returned soon, and the infantry phalanx was broken again.

When Governor El's camel soldiers were about to take the opportunity to chase and kill them, they were stopped by the heavy cavalry and did not get any advantage.

A great battle lasted for fourteen hours from morning to night. Royce's army had a strong advantage, but there was a sudden commotion in the rear, which led to the failure of this war.

Governor El brought his elite troops back to the castle, and began to change the strategic phalanx in the field, intending to defend the city.

As for Luo Huan, he rode his horse and rushed into the leopards.

Those restless leopards have been subdued and quieted down.

This commotion caused Luo Huan to suffer heavy losses. Many infantry soldiers were harassed, and some horses were also damaged to varying degrees.

"What's going on?!" Luo Huan was furious, frowning and staring at Ma Tuo who was kneeling in front of him, "This is the Leopard Army you trained?!"

"You can't even stand there and watch quietly!"

Ma Tuo was trembling a little, he looked at Luo Huan hesitantly, and after a while, he said, "Your Majesty, it's not what you think...there is a reason for the leopards' commotion..."

"This is your responsibility!" Luo Huan's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping water, "As a trainer who trains leopards, I don't want to hear any excuses!"

"It's... because of Jon..."

Luo Huan's face turned pale all of a sudden: "He...you haven't found him yet?"

Both Ma Tuo and Hao An shook their heads helplessly.

They were well aware of the importance of that white leopard to Luo Huan, but... despite sending a lot of people, they still couldn't find that leopard.

The leopard crossed the entire battlefield and ran towards the wilderness in the distance. It was very difficult for the soldiers to do it, and...the wilderness was full of wild leopards.

Luo Huan's lips trembled slightly, he quickly walked out of the camp, gathered his personal guards, got on his horse, and brought Galen and Foffa with him.

When he ran out of the gate of the big camp, he suddenly turned his head, looked at the two bewildered animal trainers who were following him, and said in a stern voice: "Even if it is Jon's fault, but the responsibility of being an animal trainer cannot be ignored." Shirk. Let the military judge Federer handle this matter and act in accordance with military law!"

Federe was still the cook who was promoted when he went to the Alan Guard to wipe out Qian Dilun. After all these years, that cook has become synonymous with fair trial.

In the dark night, Luo Huan rode across the daytime battlefield with a guard of hundreds of people.

Many soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and the smell of blood filled the air. No one spoke, and Luo Huan felt even more heavy.

The hooves of the horses made a dull sound in the desert, and Luo Huan quickly led the people to the border of the wasteland.

The desert in the dark is dangerous, especially after it rains, the grass is as tall as a person.

There are countless predators hidden in the wild grass, the wisest choice is to go back now and come back during the day.

But Luo Huan didn't hesitate at all, so he rode his horse towards the desert that was one person tall.

Galen and Fufa, the two leopards who were familiar with Mao Xiaohua's scent, were used to search for the scent of the leopard. Their bodies were hidden in this wild grass, and Luo Huan could only judge the location by their roars.

After traveling through the wild grass for over an hour, Galen and Foffa suddenly stopped at the same time.

Luo Huan reined in his horse, and the guards behind him also stopped.

The horse seemed a little panicked, Luo Huan reached out and stroked the horse's mane to comfort him.

Then, in his ears, he heard the roars.

That was not the voice of Galen and Foffa, but... the roar of wild leopards.

Sid jumped off his horse and walked into the grass to comfort Galen who was a little frightened.

Galen turned his head and let out a low growl of warning to his master.

It didn't smell the slightest smell of florets, on the contrary... There are more than 20 wild leopards nearby.

"You stay here!" Luo Huan turned to Sid and said, and he followed Fufa to move on.

After walking more than 1000 meters, Fufa was unwilling to move forward again.

This leopard, known for its calmness and cruelty, was now clinging to its owner Filger's side, and it also let out a warning cry.

Filger couldn't help persuading: "Luo Huan, it's already late at night. Jon is a leopard, it will be fine in this kind of wilderness, but you are different, the wilderness at night is very dangerous for us, Come back tomorrow morning!"

Luo Huan was riding on the horse, looking into the distance.

On the far horizon, there is a twinkling star, which is usually the star he and Mao Xiaohua like to look at most.

A yellow leopard jumped out of the grass, roared at Luo Huan, and then disappeared in the grass again.

As if relying on instinct and feeling, Luo Huan shook his head. For the first time, he gave the order to the guards behind him to stand by.

"Wait here for me, I'll be fine!" Luo Huan jumped off his horse and walked slowly towards the direction where the leopard left.

He pulled out the dagger beside him and held it in his hand, just in case.

The grass rustled around him, covering most of his body.

A golden leopard appeared in front of Luo Huan in the dark night.

Immediately afterwards, another golden leopard appeared after Luo Huan walked hundreds of meters.

The grass became lower and lower, Luo Huan walked further and further away, and the team he led was left behind by him.

And ahead, another unknown creek, which seemed to be gathered due to the arrival of the rainy season, appeared meanderingly.

Those wild leopards appeared more and more, there were hundreds of them.

Their footsteps all walked towards the creek.

"Roar!" When Luo Huan's footsteps stopped, those wild leopards roared at him.

Luo Huan knew very well that in such a scene, if these leopards suddenly attacked him, it would be impossible to get out alive.

But he didn't back up, he followed the leopards and walked towards the stream.

Then, under the cold moonlight, he saw something by the river.

It was...a naked man.

That person's body was covered with scratches, and the wound was still bleeding out, covered with mud and weeds. Although he hadn't seen it many times, Luo Huan was very familiar with this body.

It's... Mao Xiaohua's body!

He walked up quickly, but suddenly froze.

Because, his gaze finally landed on that person's head.

That's...the head of a leopard.

Not only is it the leopard's head, but also has a thick tail that grows on the buttocks.

"Mao...Mao Xiaohua..." Luo Huan couldn't believe his eyes.

At this moment, Mao Xiaohua, who had completely woken up from the coma, was struggling to support her body.

Using the reflection of the moonlight in the river, the first thing he saw was his current appearance.

It has the head of a leopard, the body of a human, and... a thick tail that cannot be shaken off.

terrible thing...

Scary...monster.

Do not!

Mao Xiaohua stretched out her hand to scratch her face, he uttered a terrified cry, turned around suddenly, and saw a group of leopards around him under the moonlight, and Luo Huan, the person who made his heart flutter and never forget, was standing away from him. Ten paces away.

"No!" Mao Xiaohua uttered a heart-piercing cry, then turned around and ran away.

He can accept that he becomes a leopard, and he can accept that he becomes a man on a moonlit night.

but……

A monster with a leopard head and a human body... who can accept it? !

"Don't run! Come back!" Luo Huan subconsciously chased after Mao Xiaohua who was running. For a moment, he didn't know what happened, but at that moment, he saw the kindness in the opponent's blue eyes. When the eyes look desperate, it is very clear.

If I don't catch up with him now, then...it is very likely that I will never be able to catch up with him in the future, or even lose him forever.

A monster with a leopard head and a human body galloped along the river, his movements were nimble and his speed was fast.

And that handsome man in armor and cloak was not slow, he almost exhausted all his strength, even his life, to chase the monster in front of him.

Bending, bouncing, the white cloak unfolded under the moonlit night, like a god descending from the sky, threw the exhausted monster to the ground, and pressed it tightly.

"Ugh... Let go..." The monster's language was ambiguous, and he struggled in pain, not daring to open his eyes at all.

And the powerful man on him grabbed his arm tightly, wrapped around the monster's waist, and said in a firm voice, "Impossible! Don't say that you are just like this now, even if you are like this for a lifetime, I won't let you go!" Absolutely, I won't let go."
