12. Through the door of the stable


Jill should have returned to White Rock long ago, but she was so absorbed in the excitement of watching the battle that she forgot all about the orders that related to her.Now that she had finally remembered, she immediately turned and ran towards the white stone.When she got there, she was only a second ahead of the others.At the moment they left, everyone had their backs to the enemy.So when they arrived at the White Stone, they all quickly turned around and watched.A terrible sight came into their eyes.A Calmen soldier was running towards the stable door with a kicking and struggling thing under his armpit.As the soldier walked between them and the campfire, they could clearly see that the soldier and the thing he was carrying under his arm turned out to be King Eustyrine and the unicorn rushing out to rescue Eustace.But the Calemon soldier was much closer to the stable door than they were.Before the two of them were halfway there, he threw Eustace inside, closing the door tightly.At this moment, six or seven Calemon soldiers also ran after the soldier earlier, and they lined up in the open area in front of the stables.Now there is simply no way to rush through.Despite this situation, Jill still remembers to turn her face to one side, avoiding her bowstring."

Even if I can't stop crying, I must not wet my bowstring."

She said strongly."

Watch out for bows and arrows," Bogin snapped reminded.Everyone lowered their heads and pulled their helmets down until they could cover their noses.The dog crouched behind.Although a few arrows were fired in their direction, it didn't take long for everyone to understand what was going on, and it turned out that they were not the target of these arrows.Griff and his dwarfs were drawing their bows and shooting arrows again, this time calmly shooting at the Calemon soldiers."

Don't let up, keep shooting, buddies," Griff's voice came, "let's do it together."

Be cautious and be vigilant around us and we don't want to point fingers at us anymore, they are more important than monkeys, or lions, or kings, or anything like that.The dwarfs are fighting for the dwarfs themselves. ”No matter what you think of what the dwarfs do, no one can say that they are not brave.They could have found a safe place to hide, but they preferred to stay and do their best to kill as many people as possible on both sides: unless they killed each other, so as to mercifully save the dwarfs the trouble of making Narnia their own country.Perhaps what the dwarfs didn't take into account was that the soldiers of Calmen were all in armor, but the poor horses were completely unprotected.In particular, they also have a leader in command of the battle.All I could hear was Tekan Lishda shouting, "Thirty of you keep an eye on the fools who are hiding behind the white stones, come with me, and perhaps we should teach these dirt sons a hard lesson," King Tillian and his friends still had not recovered from the respite from the battle, and they were grateful for such an arrangement, which would have bought them a few minutes of rest.They stood still and watched as Tekan Leshda led his men and horses to attack the dwarfs.For now, it's a strange scenario.The flames began to sink and become low, and the light of the fire became fainter and fainter, and began to turn a dark red.As far as the eye could see, the entire assembly place was now empty, except for the dwarfs and the Calemon soldiers.In this blurred line of sight, it's hard to see clearly what's happening right now.It sounds like the dwarfs are fighting their best.King Tillian could hear Griff cursing extremely ugly expletives, and every now and then Tykan could be heard commanding: "Take all means to capture them alive as much as possible", regardless of the course of the battle, it did not last long.The noisy noise soon died down.Immediately afterwards, Jill saw that Tykan was already coming towards the stable, and eleven soldiers were following closely behind, dragging eleven tightly tied dwarfs.Whether the other dwarfs were killed or have fled, no one will ever know."

Throw the dwarfs into the altar of the god Tash."

Tekan Leshda ordered.Then the eleven dwarfs were thrown and kicked one by one, and thrown into the dark stables.The door was slammed shut again, and Tekanlishda bowed respectfully to the stables, and said, "O great god Tash, these are also sacrifices for you, please accept them." ”At the same time, all the Kalemen soldiers began to hit their shields with the flat surface of their scimitars in their hands, and shouted loudly: "Tash, Tash, great Tash, unstoppable, Tash", and there was no more ridiculous "Tash".The small team on the other side of the white stone watched their actions and immediately began to whisper to each other.They noticed a trickle of water coming down from the boulder, and everyone drank eagerly.Jill, Pokine, and the king drank with both hands, while the quadrupeds licked from the small pools formed at the foot of the boulders.They were so thirsty that the water seemed to be the most delicious drink they had ever drunk in their lives.During the drinking of water, their hearts were filled with a full sense of happiness, and other things were put aside for the time being, and they did not think about it."

I felt in my bones," said Pogin, "that we would all pass through the dark stable door one by one before the morning came.I could think of a hundred ways to die that I would rather die than die like this. ”"This is indeed a cruel and terrible door," said King Tilian, "and it is more like a terrible mouth." ”"Oh, can't we do anything to stop this from happening," Jill asked in a trembling voice."

Ah, beautiful friend," Jumbo comforted her, rubbing her nose tenderly, "don't worry, for us, maybe this is a door to the world of Aslan, and maybe we can have dinner at its table tonight." ”Tekan Leshda turned with his back to the stable, and walked slowly towards a spot in front of the white stone."

Listen to me," he said haughtily, "if the boars, the dogs, and the unicorns are willing to come to me and beg my forgiveness, then I will be kind enough to spare them."

The boars will go to their cages in the Tisrock Royal Gardens for viewing; Dogs can be arranged to go to the kennel farm in Tisrock; As for the unicorn, when I saw off its unicorn, it will be sent to pull the wagon; But the eagles, the children, and the man who is the king must be sacrificed to the god Tash tonight. ”The only answer he received was a low roar."

Take them, warriors," ordered Tekan Lishda, "and kill all the brutes, and capture all the two-legged ones alive." ”The final battle of the last king of Narnia began.It was not the uncountable swarming enemy soldiers that brought the battle to despair, but the spears in the hands of the enemy soldiers.When the Calmen first began to collude with the ape, they did not carry spears.Because they had entered Narnia in twos at that time, disguised as merchants who didn't want to make trouble, so of course they couldn't walk around with spears, because spears weren't something to hide.The new Calemens must have entered Narnia a little later, and once the ape's treacherous roots were firmly established and their power was strong, they could march there openly.The spear changed the whole situation.With a spear in hand, you can stab a boar to death before its fangs reach you, or a unicorn when it can't reach you, all of which you can easily do if you have quick hands and a nimble mind.Now, the spears, held in the hands of the Calemon soldiers, were closing in on King Tillian and his friends.In the next minute, they will all be fighting for their lives.You might think that, in some ways, choosing to fight to the death isn't that bad.When you use the power of every muscle in your body, you look down to avoid the tip of the spear pointing here, jump over the tip of the spear pointing there, rush forward, sometimes backward, and sometimes spin in circles, you will find that you don't have the slightest time to feel fear or sorrow.King Tillian knew that he had so far been unable to help the others, and that they were destined to die.He vaguely saw the boar fall on one side of him, while the treasure was fighting fiercely on the other side.He caught a glimpse out of the corner of one eye, and in fact only barely saw, a tall Calemon man grabbing Jill by the hair, not knowing where he was pulling her.But it was hard for him to think about these things, and he didn't have much energy to be distracted.Now all he thinks about is trying to get the price for his life as much as he can.But worst of all, he couldn't continue to hold on to his original position, which was under the white stones.A man who fights more than a dozen enemies at the same time must seize any opportunity he can to seize wherever he can, and whenever he sees an enemy showing an unprotected chest or neck, he must immediately rush over and slash and slash.And just a few swings of the knife will take you quite far from where you set off.Tillian soon found herself moving further and further to the right, getting closer and closer to the stable.He had a vague thought in his head that there were some valid reasons to stay away from the stables.But he could no longer remember why he couldn't get near the stable.Either way, he is now out of his own hands and has nothing to do.Suddenly, everything immediately became very clear.He found himself battling Tykan of Calemun at the moment.The remnants of the campfire were directly in front of him.In fact, he was now almost fighting at the door of the stable, and now, the door of the stable was open, and there were two Kalemen soldiers guarding the doorway, ready to slam the door shut the moment he stepped inside.He remembered everything, and he realized that from the very beginning of the battle, the enemy's intention was to lure him slowly to the stables.While he was thinking about it, he was still fighting with all his might.A new idea came to King Tilian's mind.He threw away his sword and lunged forward under Tykan's slashing scimitar, grabbing his enemy's belt with both hands and capturing them straight into his hands.Then he stepped back himself, and went into the stable, and cried out in a loud voice: "Come in, meet your Tash god for himself," and with a deafening loud noise, just as when the treacherous man had been thrown in, the ground began to shake and shake, and emitted a dazzling light.The Kalemen soldiers outside the stable door shouted excitedly: "Tash god Tash" and then slammed the door shut.If the god Tash wants their leader, then the god Tash will definitely keep him.As for themselves, no matter what, they definitely don't want to meet the god Tash.For a minute or two, King Tillian didn't know where he was, or even who he was.He tried to steady himself, blinked, and looked around.It wasn't as dark inside the stables as he had expected.At the moment, he was in a dazzling light, which was why he blinked.He turned to look at Tykan Leshda, but Leshda didn't look at him.Leshda was wailing loudly and gesturing there, then he put his hands in front of him and fell face down to the ground.King Tillian looked in the direction Tykan had just pointed, and immediately understood what was going on.A terrifying figure was walking towards them.At this moment, it looked much smaller than they had seen near the tower, but still much larger than a human.King Tillian was sure that he had seen the same fellow on both occasions.It bears the head of a vulture and four arms.Its beak was open, its eyes were burning with a dazzling light, and a low, gruff voice emanated from its beak."

Tykan Leshda, you called me to Narnia.Now that I'm here, do you have anything to say to me?"

but Tykan neither lifted his head from the ground, nor could he utter a word.He was shaking like he was suffering from malignant hiccups.He had definitely been brave in battle, but earlier in the evening, when he first suspected in his heart that there might be a real Tash god, half the courage had left him.And now, in the face of the real Tash God, half of his remaining courage has long been completely lost.Suddenly, Tash swooped down like a hen pecking at a small worm, and pounced on poor Leshda, thrusting him under his left two arms.Then the god Tash tilted its head to the side and fixed a terrible eye on King Tilian, because of course, it had a bird's head on its neck, and it must not be able to look directly at you.However, from behind the god Tash, suddenly a voice as loud and calm as the waves of summer appeared: "Go away from the devil and return to your own land with your lawful prey, and we command you in the name of Aslan and Aslan's ancestors, the Overseas Emperor." ”The horrible, extremely ugly creature with Tykan Leshda under his arm vanished in an instant.Tillian turned her head to see who the person who was speaking.The sight of what he saw made his heart beat wildly, and it had never beaten so violently in any battle.Seven kings and queens stood before him, all with crowns on their heads and gorgeously dressed in bright clothes.However, the kings were all dressed in fine armor and held unsheathed swords in their hands.Tillian bowed politely to them, and was about to say something when the youngest queen burst into laughter.King Tillian stared at her face and gasped in dismay, for of course he knew her, she was Jill, but it was not the last Jill he had seen, and Gil had a dirty face and tears all over her face, and was wearing a tattered training uniform, which had even slipped half off one shoulder.And now Jill looks very fresh and clean, as fresh as if he has just come out of the bath.At first glance, he thought she looked a little older, but on closer inspection, she didn't look like her.He was a little undecided on the subject.Later, he saw that the youngest king was Eustace, who, like Jill, had changed a lot.King Tillian was suddenly embarrassed, for he was still covered in blood, dust, and sweat from the battle, which made him seem out of place in front of these magnificent kings and queens.But the next moment he realized that he was not in that situation at all.He was also fresh, fresh, and clean, wearing the kind of clothes he used to wear to feasts in Kyle Palavier.However, in Narnia, decent clothes will definitely not make you uncomfortable to wear.At Narnia, they know how to make clothes that not only look beautiful and elegant, but also feel comfortable and beautiful on the body.From one end of the country to the other, you won't find anything like starch, flannel, or elastic bands like pulp clothes."

Your Majesty," said Jill, who stepped forward with a graceful curtsy, "let me introduce you to Peter, the Supreme King above the kings of Narnia." ”Tillian didn't need to ask which one was the Supreme King, because he remembered the face he had seen in his dreams, and of course, it looked even more noble at the moment.He strode forward, got down on one knee, and bowed his head to kiss Peter's hand."

The Supreme King," said Tillian, "welcome. ”The Supreme King lifted him up and kissed him on the cheek with the courtesy of a Supreme King.Immediately afterwards, the Supreme King took him to meet the eldest queen, who in fact did not look very old, she did not have a single gray hair on her head, and her cheeks were smooth and soft, and not a single wrinkle could be found.The Supreme King introduced, "Your Excellency, this is Lady Polly, who came here on the first day of the founding of the Kingdom of Narnia, and that was the first day that Aslan let the trees grow and the beasts learn to speak. ”Next, the Supreme King introduced him to a man with a golden beard hanging down to his chest, his face full of wisdom."

And this one," said Peter, "Lord Dugray, who came to Narnia on the same day as Lady Polly.Also, this one is my brother, King Edmund, and this one, who is my sister, Queen Lucy. ”"Your Excellency," said King Tilian, after greeting them all, "if the chronicles I have read are accurate, there must be another."

Doesn't Your Majesty have two younger sisters, where is Queen Susan" "My sister Susan," Peter's reply was short and heavy, "she is no longer a friend of Narnia. ”"That's right," said Eustace, "and whenever you try to get her to come over and talk about Narnia or do something related to Narnia, she'll say, 'You have a good memory, it's hard to imagine,' that you're still thinking about the weird and funny games we used to play as children." ”"Oh, Susan," said Jill, too, "and now she has no interest in anything but nylon stockings, lipstick, and invitations.She was always keen to be an adult. ”"Grown-up, indeed," said Mrs.

Polly, "I hope she matures."

She had wasted all her school time trying to get to where she was now, and she was going to waste all the rest of her life trying to stay at her current age.Her whole idea was to get to the silliest stage of a person's life as fast as she could, and then stay in that stage as long as she could. ”"Well, let's not talk about it now."

Peter said, "Behold, there are many lovely fruit-bearing trees.Let's try it," and then, looking around for the first time, King Tillian began to realize what a strange adventure it was.t1706231537:
