Chapter 67 - Bloody Carrots!!!

Obviously anyone with even half a brain could easily figure out that the fleeing rabbits had managed to reach Rabbit Town long before Salvatore and Carl had, and had quickly spread the news of the sudden arrival of a terrifying white giant in their midst that had taken Prince Carl Hostage.

Immediately all the rabbits had fled into their homes, locking themselves in, while a few "brave" rabbit monsters had headed to the castle to inform the royal guard.

Immediately the news reached the captain of the guard who quickly responded by summoning the elite forces of the rabbit kingdom.

"WHAT, immediately dispatch the "Bloody Carrots" to Rabbit Town!"

Having given his orders the guard captain hurriedly hopped off to inform the king while the Bloody Carrots assembled in front of Carrot Keep.

The Bloody Carrots, the most elite force of the Rabbit Kingdom quickly formed up into their precise ranks. Unlike the other rabbit monsters they exuded a dangerous aura of barely contained bloodlust. Roughly 3 inches taller than most rabbit monsters, their fur was a unnatural dark orange color that seemed to have been darkened from the blood of countless foes.

All the Bloody Carrots wore a orange surcoat trimmed in gold with a large blood red carrot emblazoned on the front, and were armed to the teeth having several dull black blades on their belt as well as several dull black quivers filled with dozens of dull black extremely thin short poles on their back while holding a strange black short metal pole that looked like a distorted, sideways L with a socket in the base and a 5 inch blade on each end of the long part.

On top of the head of most of them was a snuggly fit blood red beret with a detailed metallic red gold carrot pin. The Bloody Carrots ranks were depicted by how many red gold carrots their beret pin had. One carrot was received when they official earned the right to be a Bloody Carrot, two when they became a officer and three when they became the Bloody Carrots Captain.

The Bloody Carrots were separated into three squads of 50 rabbit monsters, each headed by a veteran officer who had survived many life and death situations and had the scars to prove it. The Captain of the Bloody Rabbits, Orso, was a grizzled, muscular, beast of a rabbit monster clearly a foot taller than any other Bloody Carrot who exuded a bloodlust stronger than all the other Bloody Carrots combined and was covered in scars with his right ear gnawed off in the middle.

His face had a especially gruesome scar that went from the gnawed ear across his face, thru his left eye, which was covered with an eye patch and continued all the way down to his shoulder. Biting into several large delicious carrots simultaneously with a loud resounding crunch, each of his powerful bite sounded like he was crunching the bones of his enemies instead of some crisp ripe carrots.

Spitting out the carrot ends like a high powered rifle, with a bang they collided with several large boulders nearby used for training causing them to explode into countless stone fragments. Turning around with a warlike aura, instantly the Bloody Carrots ranks became tighter as they faced their legendary Captain who had accumulated numerous merits and survived countless life and death situations.

His single eye glowing with a red aura of bloodlust, he inspected his troops with a glance before he spoke in a solemn gravelly tone filled with a hint of killing intent.

"Men, word has just reached us that a white giant has infiltrated are glorious Rabbit Kingdom, furthermore this wicked giant has apparently taken Prince Carl hostage."

Remaining silent the Bloody Carrots displayed the air of a veteran squad, listening to their captain and awaiting their orders.

Acknowledging the professional conduct of his troops with a nod Captain Orso, released a grim smile as he continued to speak.

"This is an unprecedented situation, never before has a hostile force managed to infiltrate are glorious Rabbit Kingdom. Your orders are simple, kill!"

"Immediately head to Rabbit Town, we march to kill the white giant!"

Instantly the Bloody Carrots aura of bloodlust tripled in strength at their captains orders. Roused by his words the Bloody Carrots began to insanely chant "KILL, KILL, KILL...." however suddenly one of the Bloody Carrots in the front who although fearsome had a slight scholarly look in his eyes stepped forward.

Saluting Captain Orso he spoke, "Sir!?"

Turning to face him he acknowledged the soldier with a grunt, "SPEAK STEVEN!"

A sliver of terror ran down his back as he felt the full weight of captain Orso's deadly gaze, the Bloody Carrot braced himself with a gulp before hesitantly asking.

"W..what about Prince Carl?"

Cocking his remaining eyes eyebrow in surprise, Captain Orso remained silent for several minutes before he solemnly spoke.

"What about him?"

"D=Do we attempt to r-r-rescue him sir?"

Wearing a look of disbelief that ended up looking horrifying on his gruesomely scarred face, Captain Orso solemnly questioned the inquiring soldier.

"You actually want to rescue Prince Carl?!"

"Sir I feel his majesty, the King would like us to make that are number one priority, especially with how frantic he has been searching the entire kingdom all morning for him, after all, you know how much he cares for him sir."

Nodding his head in agreement "True, since his birth his majesty has treated him like a priceless treasure. Still, Prince Carl is, well you know he's...ehhh." Captains Orso's voice faded out as a look of helpless frustration appeared on his gruesomely scarred face, which those who did not know him would find frightening.

Shaking their heads in agreement all of the Bloody Carrots let out a sigh of dissatisfaction "Prince Carl sure is... ehhh."

"Still sir, regardless of Prince Carl's... issues I really believe we should at least try sir, if not for the princes sake, do it for his majesty's sir."

Giving a single decisive nod of agreement Captain Orso spoke, "For his majesty!"

"Very well soldier, I give you permission to try, select two of your fellow brothers, scout ahead and do what you can."

Giving a firm salute the soldier shouted at attention, "SIR, YES SIR!"

Pointing at two other Bloody Carrots Steven spoke in a commanding tone.

"Kevin, Peter, your with me, grab your gear and follow me."

Immediately the two other Bloody Carrots armed to the teeth, and carrying several bags of various sizes separated from the ranks and silently followed Steven towards Rabbit Town.

Glaring at the rest of the Bloody Carrots captain Orso shouted in a commanding tone "The rest of you slackards, get the lead out of your pants. We march, to Rabbit Town, TO WAR!"

As he shouted the last word of WAR like a blood thirsty battle cry, a malevolent bloodlust radiated from ever orifice of Captain Orso's body so thick it was almost palpable and cause the air to distort, while his killing intent soared towards the heavens.

Hearing their Captains powerful killing intent imbued battle cry, the Bloody Carrots responded feeling their own killing intent soar heavenwards as they roared aloud feeling themselves overcome by a rampant bloodlust fever for death and destruction, zealously chanting over and over "BLOOD, DEATH, WAR!!!" as they solemnly began to march towards Rabbit Town.
