奔襲而來的金獅國探路騎兵隊
塔庫魯沿著山壁上的平台，往南方獨自行走，已經是第三天了。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EB2MGSDTP
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXjpa7pXCc
在這段孤獨的旅程中，他也逐漸從模糊的記憶中發現——這副身體的原主人，方向感實在糟糕得驚人。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3cKG6XC4L
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvRzmORSZ5
以往在營區裡，從餐廳返回宿舍這麼短的距離，他總能鬼打牆似地迷失方向，不是誤闖別的中隊，就是乾脆走到營區外。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgWZHQRpcc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCTI6evmVo
還好，這種「路癡體質」在山蠻族中屬於普遍現象，各中隊長乾脆指派衛兵，專門負責把走丟的山蠻族士兵一個個送回正確的宿舍。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb4DH0WXrY
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhOhrSRZze
而塔庫魯，便是其中最離譜的一位之一。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjgVIYUFPC
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiYMLqeiK2
最誇張的一次，集合解散後，他竟直接走進伙房，大剌剌地把晚餐準備好的肉食啃掉一半，害得整個中隊那晚只能啃著乾巴巴的麵包解飢。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVTI8fyqgz
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxY10io7Iz
另一回，他迷迷糊糊地闖進了女生浴室。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ojvKbUoXz
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZXrII75La
若換作普通士兵，這種行為恐怕早已軍法伺候，但山蠻族人不僅方向感奇差，審美觀也與人類大相逕庭。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zoJ72yEns
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G6Adw0P6l
在山蠻族的標準中，真正的美女得是體態豐腴、臀寬臂壯、腿若樹樁——因為懷孕後依然能翻山越嶺、勞作不輟，才是「好女人」。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwHI68x4VY
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWoE9PLISI
所以塔庫魯當場皺眉抱怨：「原來妳們身上的肉感是盔甲撐出來的？真令人失望！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRywOoBGZpc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuECatXPUWs
結果，浴室裡一群女軍官、中士以上階級的志願役女性，直接上演了一場「圍毆誤闖者」的盛宴。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T9B2x3IDx
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEWdRXXEbW
這麼看來，她們並未真正把他當成男人看待，大約就像一隻闖進浴室的哈士奇一樣，只是稍微「教訓」了一頓。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnDsQDK3DK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfBxagksGr
真正被懲罰的，反而是那些原本應該接回他的人類士兵，因闖入女生浴室而受到嚴厲處分。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13DOawHThx
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgeVXz8fH7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gcTKLDRKN
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ0grRVB9V
事實上，山蠻族人的迷路本領並非個例。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsBn0pHn23
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYcryYzFF4
有些同袍不僅方向感喪失，連基本的記憶力也一塌糊塗，甚至常常一屁股坐下來就打起呼嚕，流著口水睡著。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmifS2M3Af
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDZNCU5WmM
因此，天龍國軍方早早制定對策：只要部隊中編有山蠻族鐵甲兵，就必須安排人員專職「照看」。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9hrHMKoDF
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJER2OZ5SzO
每位山蠻族士兵的鐵盔上，還會刻上所屬部隊番號，方便一旦迷路，其他人能迅速將其送回正確位置。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY2nWrWMhP
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU29ajB8KPD
塔庫魯低頭看了看自己胸甲上刻的番號：7-3-1-1。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAb1JBmc5Q
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPW1KdA5l0
翻譯過來，正是「第七大隊、第三中隊、第一小隊、一號位置」。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2gLIRnlb1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ0RNT66kr
而一號位，往往是留給特別人員的——此刻，他便是小隊中的那位鐵甲兵。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBcdigok56
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqzxxyOryR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA69vjeWAm
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA59SRs85z
到了第四天，他總算走到了熟悉的地形。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rwcCRzkXT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF11bFMj98
萬縱溪在遠處轉了個彎，對面山壁下方出現了一個不小的湖泊，萬縱溪正是從那裡發源。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8whl8HP04
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBnTk7TCbp
但讓人頭痛的是，除了萬縱溪，還有數條細小溪流從四面八方注入這座湖中。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlX6xAE04H
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDAsCnqyps
因為溪流纖細，行軍時部隊是直接涉水而過，腦子裡只想著「怎麼吃飯」的塔庫魯根本沒記清到底該沿著哪條小溪往上走。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv3wCusK0T
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV9C1E27un
更麻煩的是，這一帶地勢已經抬升，谷地爬坡，樹林稀稀疏疏地蔓延開來，遠方已經連成大片森林。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnCywdXdBH
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJqMwfb3Qr
塔庫魯心知，自己若想穿越森林，只能步行沿小溪逆行，但每條溪流皆沒入密林，無法從山壁上判別方向。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJQZZTCdyr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOzgzeglSl
無奈之下，他決定再次下到谷地，親自尋路。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9tT95cXne
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawmBNfLbeZ
───146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxTSUIbwZK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwtXqvCy0l
抵達谷底後，他先藏身於一塊巨岩後，屏氣凝神地觀察周圍。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJaU2EBWYd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVouDrrP9h
水邊向來是猛獸與獵物的必爭之地，而濃密的森林更像是吞噬一切生靈的黑洞，稍有大意便可能成為獵物。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0gujt8nQH
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR4JgYYn17
塔庫魯深知，自己身著厚重鐵甲，體型龐大，無論是人類還是野獸，只要一眼瞥見他，便能迅速作出反應。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupL8n3wEvn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv9m71Ccai
他沉住氣，一動不動，等待了近十分鐘，確定四周平靜無異，正準備離開掩體時，忽然——146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTPS1eiFTF
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOzhKglt4T
遠處傳來了低沉有力的馬蹄聲！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VrZC9NGIl
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYPOJKuZsC
塔庫魯迅速縮回岩後，貼地潛伏。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1piPVRjB1t
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kYLno6i95
不久，一隊騎兵自萬縱谷奔騰而出。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVBlB4gGE6
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFob9y5qXlZ
他瞇起眼，仔細辨認。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7zdwE5lft
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMDOIirXQF
這是一支八人小隊，身著皮甲，馬鞍旁掛著的徽章顯示出他們是——金獅國的騎兵！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRKTyY6h1g
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkqbtkmD19
更糟的是，這支小隊停下的地點，竟離他的藏身之處不到五十步遠。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM9SGE8DcB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaYIhBrQSz
騎兵們動作一致，顯得訓練有素。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk79X8usc1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GnzwQtBgD
左手舉盾，盾牌「鏘」地一聲扣上臂鉤；右手抽刀，單刀出鞘，刀光閃爍；接著單手控馬，隊列緩步向森林方向推進。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHqHsRkWgm
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh4GucQunu
一切動作，乾淨俐落，毫無拖泥帶水。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA785nZhEU
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi4CAQLA4N
塔庫魯心中一凜。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zbGU87mK4
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZYy6ncwHB
這種紀律森嚴的探路小隊，顯然是奇襲部隊的前鋒！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWcIGdnpP5
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEVZsnLeFd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWKtwPQBaM
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbXAuHhC0Q
他迅速在腦中推演情勢——金獅國與天龍國曾在萬縱谷交戰，雙方皆有損傷，但金獅國很可能已經調集援軍，準備發動第二波奇襲！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XENMNeuuA
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFdDDWqek0
這支八人隊伍只是開路先鋒，真正的大軍，或許已經在趕來的途中。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh6ZVjKJEm
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqvUDV14tv
此地已不宜久留！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjzdh0lIoj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ZZkf498U
塔庫魯屏息凝神，像一尾隱身於水中的大魚般，悄無聲息地跟上這隊騎兵。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPgS7OPzca
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybw3OlFjlw
他利用山壁旁的亂石、低矮的灌木與倒木，靈巧地穿梭其間，時停時走，與前方騎兵保持著既不太近、也不太遠的絕妙距離。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTHgrLFAgQ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl98qWDf7K
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrews8WqgU
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHztJLQwGG
在緊跟中，他也注意到金獅國騎兵所騎的坐騎——刺棘馬。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNbJmFLtdT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp9pOVeFkJ
這種馬形體高大，四肢強壯，特別是尾巴，並非普通鬃毛，而是如劍一般又粗又直的硬毛，每一根鬃毛幾乎可觸地。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi829kIive
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc4ckRqNlJ
更驚人的是馬身兩側——各有三片自然生長的硬甲，第一片最大，護住肩胸；第二片略小，覆蓋肋部；第三片則貼於臀部。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk38mMkbTP
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXBiYAuo5n
這些硬甲上，長滿了鋒利的棘刺，如同倒鉤般危險。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBnvELEVjN
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOKoJUjCog
風拂過馬背時，防護布偶爾掀起，隱約可見那層藏著殺機的甲刺。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpCSRUpPYV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTALkyyh3f
更詭異的是，刺棘馬前蹄上方藏著的長刺，在奔跑間會不時伸縮，像是某種尚未解密的天然武器。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkOERyfbR8
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAxvXHm7EU
根據記憶，這種馬原產於金獅國某地，偏好寒冷環境，體型比地球馬匹更為高大雄壯。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VHOr9vGK9
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmhmKX5j1h
只可惜牠們耗氧量驚人，在高山稀薄空氣中容易體力不支，無法適應過高海拔。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaeeSoPiGu
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81p1577JUT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfpalAr3OC
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U8b52je42
這支騎兵在森林邊緣再次停下來。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpe5Mer6oA
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtnFJyhJj3
幾名士兵翻身下馬，從鞍袋中取出像是接力棒般的煙棍。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PDDvlvDh1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9hjj5ksOo
點火後，濃厚的綠色煙霧冉冉升起，且風中不散，緩緩飄向天空。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfC67Ly6DK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvTaGIZt3B
那是信號——通知後方大軍，這片林地已無伏兵，可以推進了。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ881u59j7XB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrC3NF5ggj
塔庫魯抓住這個空檔，身形一縱，躲入山壁邊的森林。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONqdnPquQG
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoIu7ta4Gl
進入林間，他如龍入大海般自在。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg7QGDuGja
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7f6zo7f0w
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQQo533OPd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9gLs0HGJq
不過，潛藏於心底的冷靜理智仍提醒著他：這副山蠻族身軀雖然強壯，卻缺乏靈巧，若想真正施展特遣隊的戰術素養，還需要借助工具。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFQLGZUQRd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rA669ICLJ
他取出長柄石斧，快速削製數根鋒利木矛，作為隨手可拋的武器。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvzR8DCLqH
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXniOOJ8ce
但他並不打算輕啟殺戒。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9T2FTkP2s
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs92CNSzGe9
他的目標，是悄悄跟隨金獅國軍隊，找到通往天龍國的歸途——而非陷入不必要的廝殺。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKetLk9O0Ra
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJp7TIOxy6
森林中的塔庫魯，彷彿一道隱藏的幽影，靜靜等待著下一次出擊的機會。
