Seeing that two o'clock was approaching, Durupkin and the badger sat at the edge of the woods with the whole team, looking at Miroz's army from a distance, two arrows away.In the middle of the two armies, there was a flat grassy area, and a square space had been circled as a dueling arena.On the two horns a little farther away stood the sword-wielding princes of Gollo and the prince of Sopi, and on the two horns a little closer were the giant Wembwege and the great brown bear.Despite everyone's repeated warnings, the big bear kept sucking on its paws, and to be honest, it didn't look stupid.For this reason, the Centaureus Granstom, standing on the right side of the arena, remained stationary except for the occasional pause of his hind hooves on the turf, which looked more striking than Baron Terma, who faced him on the left.Peter had already shook hands with Edmund and the Doctor, and was now walking towards the dueling arena below.The duel was about to begin, and the atmosphere was immediately tense."
I want Aslan to be here before the duel begins."
Durupkin said."
I hope so," Trufkhant said, nodding, "but look behind you." ”"Oh my God," the dwarf looked back at him as he had said, and was taken aback, and muttered, "who are they, huge people, beautiful people who look like fairies and fairies, and huge humans."
Hundreds of them, numbering in the thousands, were approaching behind us, who were they?"
replied Truverhant, "and Aslan had awakened them. ”"ShhhhBut if Miruz's swordsmanship was more adequate, then all this would be completely useless to the Supreme King. ”The badger did not speak again, for by this time Peter and Miros had entered the arena through two opposite entrances, both on foot, both wearing armour, steel helmets, and shields.They kept moving forward until they were close to each other, bowing to each other, and seemed to whisper a few words, but could not hear what they were talking about.Next, the two swords were drawn at the same time, emitting a brilliant and dazzling sword light in the sunlight.The duel began.At first, the sound of swords clashing against each other can be heard clearly, but it is quickly drowned out by the shouts and cheers of the two armies, as lively as watching an exciting football match."
Well done Peter, oh, that's great."
Edmund couldn't help but shout when he saw Miruz dodge back a step and a half, "Take advantage of the situation, hurry" Peter did take advantage of the victory, and for a moment it looked as if he was about to win.But then, Miruz began to take advantage of his height and weight to regroup and fight back."
Long live King Miroz Miroz, come on, king" The shouts of the Tyrans were deafening.Seeing that the situation had turned unfavorable, Caspian and Edmund began to become anxious, and they could not help but break out in a cold sweat and turn pale."
Peter is going to make a trick."
Edmund said."
Hey," Casbin said, "what's the situation now?"
"The offensive of the two sides has broken down, and they are temporarily separated. ”Edmund said, "It should be a little respite."
Look, they're here again.This time, both sides were much more cautious, going around and around, looking for holes in each other's defenses, ready to break through at any time. ”"This Miruz has always been proficient in swordsmanship and is good at taking the initiative."
The Doctor muttered quietly.But it was hard to hear what he said, for there was a deafening applause, animal howls, and hats tossed high in the old Narnia procession."
What the hell is going on," the doctor asked anxiously, "I can't see clearly. ”"The Supreme King stabbed him in the arm," Caspian explained, "just through the crack in the joint of the chain mail arm.Miruz was bleeding. ”"But now it looks like things are going to be bad again," said Edmund nervously, "and you see that Peter is very inflexible when he uses his shield, and his left arm must be injured." ”As it turned out, it was clear to everyone that Peter was weak and slow when he raised his shield.The cheers of the Terma rang out, and the volume was twice as loud as before."
You have a lot more combat experience than I do," Caspian said to Edmund, "is there any chance now?"
"There is a silver lining," Edmund replied, "and I suspect he may be trying to find an opportunity."
It depends on luck. ”"Oh, why would we let this happen," Caspian said.Suddenly, all the shouting from both sides stopped together.Edmund was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Oh, I see.Both of them agreed to pause, rest.Doctor, come with me and see what we can do for the Supreme King. ”They walked down towards the arena.Peter walked beyond the rope and came to meet them.His face was flushed, sweating profusely, his chest heaving violently, and he was panting incessantly."
Is your left arm hurt," Edmund asked with concern."
It wasn't much of an injury," said Peter, "and he pressed the weight of his entire shoulder against my shield with a ferocity, and the edge of the shield was pressed and caught in my wrist.I don't think it's broken, but it's possible that it was sprained.If you help me bandage it tightly, I think I'll be able to handle it. ”Then they started bandaging, and Edmund asked worriedly, "Peter, do you think you have a chance to beat him?"
"It's a tough fight," Peter gasped, "it's very difficult."
I have a chance to win, if I can keep him jumping until his weight becomes a burden on his own, thanks to this scorching sun.Otherwise, to tell you the truth, I don't have any other chance.Edmund, if he beats me, tell every family member that I love them.Well, he's in the arena again.Goodbye, brother, Doctor, and, I say, Edmund, and especially remember to treat Durupkin well, he is a good-hearted and absolutely trustworthy friend. ”Edmund couldn't say a word.He walked back to his camp with the Doctor, feeling extremely heavy.But the situation has improved in the new round.It now seemed that Peter was able to wield his shield with relative ease, and his feet were noticeably more nimble.Now, he was able to play tricks with Miruz to keep his combat distance and constantly move his bearings, forcing his enemies to be led by the nose."
Coward," the Terma booed dissatisfiedly, "why don't you dare to fight him face to face, you don't dare to do that, don't you, well, I thought you were here to duel, and you actually danced, it's really laughing" "Oh, I hope he doesn't fall under their influence." ”Caspian said worriedly."
He won't," said Edmund, "you don't know him," and Miruz finally got the lead and hit Peter's helmet.Peter staggered, slid to one side, and fell to one knee on the ground.The cheers of the Terma people suddenly swelled up like a tide."
Now, Miroz," they shouted, "now, hurry, kill him," but in fact, the usurper needed no warning, he had already swung his sword and slashed at Peter's head.When Edmund saw the sword light stabbing at Peter, he was so nervous that he bit his lip.It looked like the sword was enough to cut off his head, however, thankfully, the sword stabbed Peter in the right arm, and the dwarf's special chain mail was unusually strong and unbroken."
AhhPeter, come on, kill him, come on" "I can't see what the hell is going on," the doctor said anxiously, "how is he?"
"Miroz was grabbed by Peter just as his arm was about to fall. ”As he spoke, Durupkin danced with joy, "What a manly man who rises with the help of the enemy's arm."
Come on the Supreme King, the Supreme King will win for the sake of ancient Narnia, fight" "Look," said Trufhat, "Miruz is not so sensible, and he is starting to get angry.That's great. ”Now the duel has entered the white-hot stage of the close match.A barrage of dense attacks seemed impossible without casualties.As the battle scene became more and more tense and exciting, the shouting and cheering disappeared.All the audience held their breath, and the scene in front of them looked terrifying and spectacular.A powerful cry rang out from the army of ancient Narnia, and Miruz fell, not by Peter, but stumbled on a clump of weeds and fell face down.Peter stepped back, waiting for him to get up."
Oh, nasty, hate," said Edmund to himself, exasperated, "is it necessary for him to be a gentleman in such a situation, I dare say he must be."
This is the style of a supreme king and a valiant knight.I guess that's exactly what Aslan was looking forward to.But once the thug got up again, then the thug never got back up.The two noble princes, Golo and Sopi, had already premeditated.As soon as they saw Miruz fall to the ground, they immediately rushed into the arena and shouted: "Rebellion, treachery, when the king is not able to fall to the ground, the traitor of Narnia has stabbed him in the back."
The emergency forces, the warriors of Tyrma, prepared to meet the "Peter had no idea what was going on.He saw two tall men lunge at him with swords in hand, and a third Tima jumped over the rope from his left into the arena."
Narnia, fight now, it's a rebellion," Peter shouted.If the three Tyrannes attacked him at once, he might never have a chance to speak again.But the prince of Golo rushed straight to the side of Miruz, who was lying on the ground, and killed him with a single sword."
This sword is the result of your insult to me this morning," he whispered viciously as the sword flashed.Peter swung his sword at Lord Thorpy.A sword slashed at his leg from underneath Lord Sopi, and then the sword swirled and performed the same move, cutting off his head.Edmund was now standing beside him, shouting loudly, "Narnia, long live the Lion King of Narnia" and the entire Tyrma army rushed towards them.However, at this time, the giant stood in front of him in time, and he leaned down and bravely met the enemy with the big stick in his hand.The Rémy Martin came head-on, and after two thumps of the bow, the arrows shot out of the dwarf's hand with a sizzling sound, and Durupkin fought on the left side of the Rémy Martin, and the whole battlefield shook the sky, and the war was in full swing."
Come back, Ray Pepp, you little fool," cried Peter, "this is not the place for you rats, you will only be trampled to death here," but the mad little ones did not listen to orders.They charged into both armies, bouncing around at the foot of the ranks, wielding their daggers and fighting hard.On that day, many of the Terma soldiers felt as if the soles of their feet had suddenly been pierced by a dozen needles, and there was a piercing pain, and they had to land on one foot, raise one leg and curse, and often fall to the ground.As soon as someone falls to the ground, the rats will rush forward to end their lives, and if they don't, someone else has already done it.The warriors of ancient Narnia were preparing to fight the enemy in one go, only to find that the enemy soldiers had given way, and their faces turned pale, and their frightened eyes were not staring at the army of ancient Narnia, but on their backs, and at the same time they threw down their weapons and exclaimed: "It's the woods, the terrible woods have come to the end" With a tsunami-like roar, their screams and the crash of weapons were drowned out.The awakened trees swooped down on the Termans like a tidal wave through Peter's army.Have you ever stood on a high ridge beside the woods on a late autumn evening and felt the fierce south-west wind, imagine the sound, and then imagine that woods, no longer fixed in one place, but all rushing at you, they are no longer the image of trees, all huge human forms, and yet still like trees, because their long arms wave like branches, and when they sway, the leaves fall around them like showers.That's what the Termas saw.Even for the army of ancient Narnia, there was a bit of a sense of horror.Within minutes, all of Miroz's followers fled in the direction leading to the Great River.Hopefully, they planned to cross the Briluna Bridge and occupy the towns there, then close the gates and hide behind the fortress.The deserters reached the river, but there was no bridge.It has mysteriously disappeared since yesterday.In extreme panic and despair, they all had to raise their hands and surrender.But how did the bridge mysteriously disappear and what happened early that morning, after just a few hours of sleep, Lucy and Susan woke up early.They saw Aslan standing beside them, and they heard it say, "Today is our holiday, children. ”They rubbed their eyes and looked around.The dryads had all left, and a large area of black oppression could be seen moving in the direction of the Aslan fortress.Bacchus, the god of wine, and the priestesses, his fierce and frivolous wild maidens, and Selinus, the god of the forest, stayed with them.Lucy was full of energy and energy, and jumped to her feet.Everyone woke up and began to laugh and laugh, play the flute, and make a fuss.The animals, all non-talking, gathered around them from all directions."
Aslan, what's going on," Lucy asked curiously, her eyes twinkling and her feet wanting to dance."
Come on, boys," Aslan said, "get on my back again, it's a special day." ”"Oh, that's great," Lucy cried out cheerfully.Like the one they had done many years ago, the two girls climbed onto its warm, golden-yellow mane.The whole team then moved under Aslan's leadership, with Bacchus and his barbarian priestesses jumping, running, and somersaulting along the way, animals frolicking around them, and Selinus riding his donkey after him.They turned slightly to the right, rushed down a steep hill, and then saw the long Berluna Bridge in front of them.Just as they were about to cross the river, suddenly, a wet, bearded head emerged from the water, with a grass ring on its head, which looked much larger than a human.It looked at Aslan and spoke in a very deep voice."
Long live the King," it said respectfully, "please help me undo my chains." ”"Who is this man?"
asked Susan in a low voice."
I guess it's the river god, but shhhhh"Bacchus," Aslan ordered, "untie his chains. ”"I think the chain it refers to should be this bridge."
Lucy pondered.And so it was.Bacchus led his men into the river and made a splash to a shallow area.A minute later, something very strange happened.Large, sturdy ivy splintered up the piers of the bridge, growing and spreading like fire, surrounding each stone, splitting, disintegrating, and then falling apart, and the bridge became a hawthorn hedge for a moment, and then it burst apart, collapsed with a rumbling sound, sank into the swirling water, and finally disappeared completely.With countless splashes, screams of excitement and merry laughter, the revelers waded, swam and danced through the shallows."
Aha, it's the Berluna Ferry again," the girls cheered loudly.Then they ascended to the other side of the river and entered the township.When the pedestrians on the street saw them, they were so frightened that they quickly fled.They first came to a school.It's a girls' school, and a lot of Narnia girls are taking history classes here, and their hair is tied very tightly, tied into unsightly braids, and their collars are tightly around their necks, which looks ugly and uncomfortable; Thick, rough stockings wrapped tightly around their legs.The so-called history lessons here are all stories of Miruz's reign over Narnia, which are more boring than the most authentic history you'll ever read, and even more spurious than the most exciting adventure stories."
Gwen Rondo, if you don't pay attention," the governess reprimanded sternly, "and if you dare to look out the window again, I'll deduct points for you." ”"Please don't do that, Mr.
Piretz."
Gwen Lundo pleaded."

Did you hear what I said, Gwyn Rondo," asked Miss Piretz."
But, Mr.
Piritz," said Gwenrondo, "there's a lion outside the window," "two points for disrupting the class for nonsense," the teacher shouted, "then then" a roar interrupted her next speech.Ivy snaked through the classroom window, and in an instant the walls turned an attractive green, and the roof overhead was overgrown with leafy branches that obscured the ceiling.Startled at the sudden discovery of herself standing in the grass in the glade, she grabbed her lectern to try to stand firm, only to find that the table had turned into a cluster of roses.A group of savages she could never have imagined surrounded her tightly.Then she saw a lion and immediately screamed and fled.As she fled, the group of short, fat, serious, fat-legged little girls immediately dispersed, except for Gwynlundo, who stood still and hesitated."
Sweet and lovely little girl, would you like to stay with us?"
Aslan asked softly."
Oh, can I thank you, thank you so much," said Gwen Lundo gleefully, and she immediately joined their group, holding hands with the two wild girls.They helped her take off her superfluous and uncomfortable-looking school uniform and whirl her around in a joyful dance.No matter where they walk in the town of Boluna, they will encounter the same situation.Most of them fled in fear, but a few joined them.When they left the town of Boluna, their ranks had grown considerably, and everyone was so cheerful and happy.They swept all the way across the plains on the northern banks, or the left banks of the river.Everywhere they go through a farm, many farm animals come out to join them.The sad old donkey, who had never experienced the taste of happiness, suddenly became young; The watchdog broke free from their chains; The horses kicked the wagon with them to pieces and trotted over, neighing and splashing mud along the way.At a well in a courtyard, they met a man who was beating a young boy.The stick in the man's hand suddenly turned into a flower.In a panic, he wanted to throw the flower away, but it was firmly stuck to his hand and could not be thrown away.Immediately afterward, his arms turned into branches, his body became the trunk of a large tree, and his feet took root in the ground.The boy, who had been crying just a moment ago, burst into tears and laughed and joined their group.Halfway to Beaver Dam is a small town where two rivers meet.They walk into another school, where a tired girl is teaching arithmetic to a group of stupid, pig-like-looking boys.She looked out the window and saw the extraordinary revelers singing cheerful songs all the way down the street, and a wave of joy welled up in her heart.Aslan stopped in front of the window facing her and looked up at her."
Lovely lady, would you like to join us?"
Aslan asked kindly."
Oh, no, no," said the girl worriedly, "I would love to go with you, but I can't, I have to keep to my post and the children will probably be frightened if they see you." ”"Frightened," mocked one of the children who looked most like stupid pigs, "she's talking to somebody outside the window, and we're going to tell the inspector that she's not dedicated enough to teach us to read, and she's talking to people outside through the window." ”"Let's go out and see who it is."
Another boy said.So they all flocked to the window.But when their stupid little faces looked out, Bacchus shouted, "Woo, woo, woo. ”All the boys were so frightened that they cried and cried, pushing each other and running out of the door, and some of them opened the windows and jumped out.It is said that since then, no one has ever seen those stupid boys, whether it is true or not, and a group of very well-behaved and obedient pigs have appeared in that area."
Now, dear girl, you are free to decide."
Aslan said to the girl.So, she jumped off the ledge and joined them.They crossed the river again at the Beaver Dam and then continued east along the southern bank.Soon they came to a farmhouse and saw a child standing outside the door crying.Aslan stepped forward and asked, "Why are you crying, my dear little friend?"
The child had never seen a lion or a picture of a lion, so he was not afraid at all."
Aunt is very sick," she sobbed incessantly, "and she's dying." ”Then Aslan went to the farmhouse and tried to go in, but the door was too small for it, so when its head went in, and it used its shoulders as it did so, Lucy and Susan both fell off its back, lifted the whole house, and threw it backwards, and the house fell to pieces.Now the whole bed was in the open air, and a small old woman was still lying on the bed, and at a glance it was clear that she should have dwarf blood.She was dying and dying, but when she opened her eyes, she saw the stark furry head of the lion, and she did not scream or be stunned, but said calmly as if everything was expected: "Oh, it's Aslan I know it's true."
I've been waiting for this moment all my life.Are you here to take me away" "Yes, dearest madam. ”"It's been a long journey. ”As she spoke, it was as if the sun was shining out from behind the clouds, and a blush returned to her pale face, and her eyes brightened, and then she sat up and said, "Oh, I feel better, I think I can have some breakfast this morning." ”"Breakfast is ready for you."
Bacchus said that he had filled a pot of water in the well of the farmhouse and handed it to her, but now it was no longer water, but the most precious and mellow wine, as red as red as red currant jam, as smooth as oil, as strong as beef, as warm as tea, and as fresh as dewdrops."
Ah, you put something in our well," said the old woman excitedly after a few sips, "and it is a beautiful change, so good. ”Then she jumped out of bed."
Ride on me."
Aslan said, then it turned to Susan and Lucy and said, "You two queens have to run now." ”"We just wanted to come down and get moving," Susan said.Then everyone began to hurry.In this way, everyone bounced and danced along the way, accompanied by the sound of music, laughter, roaring, barking dogs and neighing horses.At last they came to the place where Miroz's army had dropped their swords and raised their hands, while Peter's army, still holding on to their weapons, and was breathing heavily, and their faces were full of joy.The next amazing thing that happened was that the old woman slipped off Aslan's back and ran towards Casper, and they hugged each other tightly and excitedly.It turned out that the old woman was none other than Casper's old nanny.t1706231537:
