Elephant Troop
The situation was critical as the apes besieged the Anti-Ape Salvation Army.
At this critical moment, a huge army charged out of the mountains and pounced on the apes. They were huge, not in terms of numbers, but in terms of size. They were made up of more than 2,000 elephants. They used their noses to wrap around their weapons. Their huge size allowed them to compete with the apes. Their participation turned the situation around. The apes were helpless against the elephants for a while and their attacks were blocked.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kotter and Mira led their troops out of the battle and retreated. The elephant soldiers held the rear, and the giant apes and elephant soldiers fought to a draw, with both sides suffering casualties. The giant ape troops were afraid that there would be another ambush ahead and that they would be in danger alone. They could only stop their pursuit and retreat.
The Salvation Army was able to escape and let out a long sigh of relief. They had lost tens of thousands of soldiers in this battle, and many generals had died. Mira was to blame. They returned to Hus City to rest. The elephant soldiers had also arrived. Their leader had long heard of the Salvation Army and had long planned to join forces. Under the invitation of Kotter and Mira, he gladly agreed to fight alongside them.
The giant ape troops could attack again at any time, so it was not good to stay here for long. They returned to their base camp.
Arias personally went out to greet the soldiers.
Kotter introduced the leader of the elephant soldiers to Arias and told him what had happened. Arias was also very grateful.
"So you are the famous Mr. Arias. I have admired you for a long time and have long wanted to seek refuge with you. It's just that I didn't have the right opportunity. My name is Paul Piernas, and I am the leader of this elephant troop. Now, I am willing to hand this troop over to you to command and join the Anti-Ape Salvation Army. I will also listen to your orders.”
Arias was overjoyed. "Welcome, welcome. Your participation has greatly increased the strength of the Anti-Ape Salvation Army. It is a great blessing for humans and animals. Please go up the mountain!"
"Please!"
After consulting the old leader, it was decided that the elephant soldiers would continue to use the same structure and form the Anti-Ape Salvation Army's Fourth Army, with Piernas as the commander.
In the evening, Arias hosted a banquet to welcome the elephant soldiers, accompanied by Selby, Peta Morris, Chikomovic, Boschani, Kotter, and Mirahubert. Even the old leader, Kubicayes, who hadn't shown up for a long time, came.
Mila stood up first and bowed deeply to the old leader. Then he said to Arias," Commander, due to my negligence and improper command, the troops have suffered such a great loss. I cannot absolve myself of the blame. Commander, please punish us to show our military might.”
Kotter quickly stood up." Commander, you can't blame Mila for this. I've experienced the power of the giant ape troops. They were too powerful and exceeded our expectations. Commander Mila was also caught off guard. Please show mercy."”
Arias waved his hand and said," You don't have to blame yourself too much. The responsibility isn't all on you. I also have a lot of responsibility. I was blinded by the temporary victory and rushed forward, which led to today's defeat. The old leader showed mercy and did not pursue the responsibility. Victory and defeat are common in military strategists. A fall in the pit is a gain in wisdom. Let's encourage each other together.”
Everyone present agreed.
Arias raised his glass to Piernas. " Dear Mr. Pilnas, please allow me to represent our supreme leader, Mr. Kubica Hayes, and all the soldiers of the Anti-Ape Salvation Army to express our heartfelt gratitude for your help at the critical moment. It was your bravery that saved Mira and Kotter, preventing the Salvation Army from suffering even greater losses. We will remember your achievements. Now, on behalf of everyone, I propose a toast to you. Please do not refuse.”
Paul Piernas quickly stood up and raised his nose high to show his respect.
"Respected Mr. Arias, please don't say that. It will make us feel ashamed. Killing the apes is our duty. We can't save them, let alone make any achievements. The apes have also killed our brothers and sisters and destroyed our homes. We have an irreconcilable hatred for the apes, and fighting against the apes is our unshirkable responsibility. If we want to thank you, we have to thank you. It was you who took us in and gave us a place to settle down so that we wouldn't drift around. Your deeds are now widely spread, and we admire you. You are the hope of many living beings. Fighting for freedom is our common aspiration. We can't say who saved who. Please don't treat us as outsiders in the future. We're a family, and we don't distinguish between each other. We'll completely obey your orders and fight bravely to defend the honor and dignity of our elephant soldiers. At the same time, we'll save the lives of the common people.”
"Well said! Then let's work hard for the same goal!”Arias was extremely emotional.
"Brothers, let's drink together!”
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Oh, right, Mr. Pilnas, we are now united against a common enemy. Can you tell me how you got here?"
Piernas pondered for a moment.
"It's really a long story. To tell you the truth, before the reign of the apes, we were a huge race, numbering in the tens of millions, living in peace with humans and other animals, and the natural world was peaceful. Our branch lives in the Kemeda Kingdom, which is also a neighboring country of the Balid Kingdom. The apes started a war, and we were not spared. Our habitat was wantonly occupied, we were forced to leave our homes, and elephants were mercilessly killed. We will gather some of the strong and form an army to protect the race and fight against the apes. It wasn't difficult to deal with those ordinary apes. They were helpless against our naturally huge bodies, so they managed to obtain some victories and take back some of their homes. However, ever since the appearance of the giant apes, they have been abnormally fierce and well-trained. We are no match for them and have been forced to retreat. We can only hide in the forest and wait for the right opportunity. I've long heard that you've established the Anti-Ape Salvation Army, so I wanted to join you. However, our bodies are huge and our movements are slow. We're afraid of being discovered by the giant apes and being killed by them, so we didn't dare to act rashly. A few days ago, we received news that the Giant Ape Army had left the Kemeda Kingdom and was heading towards the Balid Kingdom. We guessed that something major must have happened. Otherwise, the Giant Ape Army would not have been mobilized so easily. We set off to follow them. Perhaps it was God's will that we happened to encounter the Salvation Army fighting them, so we attacked. We can't say that we saved you. It's better to say that we saved ourselves. Now that we have a place to stay, the brothers are very excited. It is our honor to fight side by side with the Salvation Army. Everyone was rubbing their hands together, looking forward to a bloody battle with the apes!”
Hearing its words, everyone present felt their blood boil.
Arias slammed the table and stood up. "Everyone, the apes are heartless and have done all kinds of bad things. Now that we have the Elephant Soldiers, we are like a tiger with wings. Although the giant ape army is powerful, they are not invincible. We will definitely find an effective way to eliminate them. Apes, we will settle the score with you one day. You will pay for what you have done!”
The generals responded in unison.
The hall was bustling with cheers.
Kotter and Milla raised their glasses and walked in front of Piernas respectfully.
"My good brother, I can't thank you enough. We don't represent anyone but ourselves. Here's a toast to you.”
"Since we're brothers, there's no need to be so polite. In the future, we will fight side by side, and victory will be ours.”"Come, let's drink together!" said Pilnas humbly.”
Kotter and Mira drank the wine in one gulp.
In the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed. During this period of time, the Salvation Army had repeatedly harassed the enemy. The Salvation Army had avoided the enemy's attack and skillfully dealt with the enemy.
At this moment, something big happened in the base camp. The old leader, Kubicayes, died of illness.
The Salvation Army mourned. The death of the old leader was a huge loss.
Arias was filled with emotion. It was the old leader who founded the Anti-Ape Salvation Army. The heavens were jealous of geniuses, the heavens were jealous of geniuses!
The old leader was buried in a grand manner, and the entire Salvation Army was in mourning.
The base camp could not be without a master for a day, and the three armies could not be without a commander for a day.
Arias was expected by everyone and took up the position of leader.
