Zachary Taylor was speechless. He didn't notice these details at all. Even if he did, it would be difficult for him to distinguish the difference. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. How could these two inexperienced brats know these things? They were even better than him, an old general who had been in the army for many years.
With this thought in mind, Zachary Taylor directly asked the question in his heart.
"Where did you learn this from?"
At this time, Viktor, who was riding on the side, suddenly interrupted. He turned his head and grinned at Zachary Taylor, revealing two sharp canine teeth. This familiar smile made Zachary Taylor's heart skip a beat, and he thought to himself, This is bad.
Sure enough, in the next moment, he heard Viktor speak.
"Of course it was taught by our master. He said that this is the basic knowledge of the outside world. Now that the world is chaotic and bandits are rampant, we must be able to discover the enemy's ambush in advance in order to deal with it calmly. Otherwise, we'll be like a certain old man, waiting for the enemy to open fire and still sitting foolishly on the horse to be a target! "
Viktor grinned as he spoke, revealing his long canine teeth again.
This smile made Zachary Taylor feel like he was asking for a beating.
"You brat! You added the last sentence yourself, didn't you? "
The angry Zachary Taylor wanted to beat Viktor up, but when he recalled the deep claw marks on the tree trunk beside the corpse just now, Zachary Taylor still chose to be a gentleman and not use his hands.
However, these two brats were really too vengeful. Previously, they said that their master's experience was not as good as his, and they didn't forget it until now. They immediately seized the opportunity to give him a strong counterattack.
Viktor looked at the angry Old Taylor and smiled proudly. He turned his head and exchanged glances with James. Both of their eyes revealed a trace of satisfaction. Little brat, how dare you provoke our master? We'll beat you to death!
Poor Zachary Taylor was already so old. He had just escaped the attack of the bandits and was angered by his two saviors. He was so angry that he suffered internal injuries and almost wanted to vomit blood.
Zachary Taylor was so angry that he ignored them for a long time. He rode alone behind the two of them.
In fact, Zachary Taylor wasn't really angry. Including the constant comparison with Chen Mo, it was just a joke to tease the two brats.
Although he wore a military uniform and sloppy clothes all year round and didn't have the bearing of a general, he was far from the vulgar country bumpkin that many people imagined.
In the eyes of those who were really familiar with him, he was actually a gentleman, an elegant chivalrous, amiable, and pleasant man. He had a free and generous gentlemanly demeanor, and would not be jealous of others, let alone compare himself with others.
The comparison with Chen Mo earlier was partly a joke to relieve the boredom of the journey, and partly because he was very curious about Chen Mo, the mysterious "master" that Viktor and James admired and respected. He just wanted to know more about him.
Now, through the two brats, he had learned a lot about Chen Mo. But the more he learned, the more he felt that Chen Mo was unfathomable and completely unpredictable. What kind of person was this mysterious Huaxia man?
In addition, Zachary Taylor was also shocked by Viktor and James's powerful strength and magical abilities.
After two years of fighting, Zachary Taylor had already thought that the two of them were very powerful. But who would have thought that it was just the tip of the iceberg of their strength?
Just before the bullet hit, they blocked in front of him in time with their powerful speed, invulnerability, and sharp claws that could leave deep claw marks on tree trunks. How strong were the two of them? What were their magical abilities? How strong was the "master" that Viktor and James said was more powerful than them?
All kinds of questions lingered in Zachary Taylor's mind, but he did not ask again. After spending so much time with the two of them, he already knew their temperament. They disdained to lie. If they could say something, they would tell him directly. If they could not say something, they would not answer even if he asked.
The two of them had been hiding their special abilities before. This time, because he was in danger, the two of them did not bother to hide and used all their strength to save him.
However, at least this showed that the two of them still acknowledged and cared about him very much. They even risked exposing themselves to save him. This made him feel very gratified.
He also understood that the two of them had been keeping a secret before. After all, once this magical ability was known by others, it would still cause a lot of trouble.
The two of them had deliberately hidden it, but there were still rumors of demons in the army. If it were in the Middle Ages, the two of them would probably be burned to death by the Church as demons.
Therefore, Zachary Taylor was not dissatisfied with the two of them hiding it. Instead, he was determined to help them keep the secret and not let anyone know.
The three of them quarreled and bickered all the way to Zachary Taylor's house. It was a cotton plantation that covered more than three thousand acres in Kentucky.
It was also thanks to Viktor and James traveling with him that Zachary Taylor was able to return to his home safely. They encountered several bandits along the way, but they were easily wiped out by the two of them.
"Aren't the two of you going to stay at my place for a while?"
Zachary Taylor advised helplessly as he looked at Viktor and James who did not even get down from their horses and planned to continue their journey after sending him home.
"This place is still very far from New York. You should at least rest for a few days before continuing on your journey."
However, his words obviously had no effect. Viktor and James did not have the slightest intention of wavering. They pulled the reins and turned their horses around amidst the neighing of the horses. Viktor rode on the horse and grinned at Zachary Taylor who was full of anticipation, revealing his two canine teeth.
"No, Old Taylor. All good things must come to an end. We'll meet again if fate allows!"
After Viktor finished speaking, he shook the reins hard and urged the horse to gallop into the distance.
James also turned back and waved at Zachary Taylor before following on his horse.
"All good things must come to an end?"
Zachary Taylor looked at the two of them as they left. He could not help but mutter this sentence softly.
"Stinking brat, where did you learn this from?"
Zachary Taylor shouted at the two of them at the top of his voice.
The two of them riding in front of him did not stop, but Viktor's voice came from afar.
"Our master said so!"
Zachary Taylor stood at the entrance of his plantation and looked at the two of them leaving behind a trail of dust. A kind smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
