The snow has stopped, but the sky is still hazy. The dawn turns into feeble light in the gap between the dark clouds and the horizon, falling on the snowy field, making people feel no warmth at all.
To the south of Erdrit Territory is a vast plain. It is not fertile, but it is rich in black grapes. The famous black wine is allowed to bear the title of "Frey", which shows its honor.
On the road heading south, a small group of cavalry moved in a hurry. Among them, a young man riding a warg was mixed in the queue of tall horses, and he was particularly conspicuous.
It is said that the Clogath horses have the inheritance brand of the ancient dragon clan in their blood, so they are brave and fearless. They are not afraid of ferocious birds and beasts, and dare to charge in the hail of bullets. At this moment, these horses, like their owners, are arrogant and galloping around, not caring about them at all.
A ragged-haired warg that bumps on its side as it runs
In Emerald, the horse is recognized as the second most comfortable land ride, and the warg ranks sixth. The running style that seems to be lame on one leg requires the riders to master the ability of 'exotic riding', otherwise it will not be possible.
Riding is like being tortured. After running for dozens of kilometers, you will definitely feel like you have been knocked apart.
Werewolves and wolves are naturally in tune with each other, and even riding a warg is easier with less effort. This is mainly because the "wild sprint" of a werewolf after transforming into a wolf is very similar to that of a wolf, so Neo is very familiar with the running method of a warg.
Before that, he had ridden a warg once, and that was in the arena. He and a group of gladiators played the role of the 'foreign' Armatai savages, the reserve members of the Knights of the Lion, that is, a group of trainee knights, playing the role of conquering lions.
King Lombton's Iron Crusaders were historically 8,000 vs. 40,000. The Armatai Wild Army, which had a larger number, was defeated. As a result, the result of the competition was a foreign victory, which greatly disgraced the Knights of the Lion.
Well, that battle was fierce and difficult, but it also trained Neo's riding skills very well. Although it was only once, it will be used for life.
Most of the members of the West Wind Fighting Group were fighting against the devils in Sauls City. Those devils didn't know if they had taken the wrong medicine, but they were determined to fight against the people of the West Wind Fighting Group and the Sky Eagle Knights.
The fight lasted until early morning, and it lasted for 4 or 5 hours. They were extremely tenacious, as if they were the masters of the city, fighting repeatedly street by street.
It is precisely because of this that in the camp of the West Wind Fighting Group, except for the two teams left behind, they were the wounded who were carried off the front line, so that no one noticed the disappearance of an old werewolf who was guarding the mount. After Neo obtained the warg,
, it went very smoothly. When Adrian saw that Neo came back with an ugly face and injuries to his waist and abdomen, he thought that Neo had been repaired, so he didn't give him any more trouble.
Adrien's subordinates didn't like Neo very much. When they saw Neo riding on the road, they didn't say anything, but their eyes were full of gloating. Neo didn't take it seriously, and even thought it was a good thing.
Growing up in human society since childhood, he has a very good understanding of human mentality. People who are looked down upon by them take it for granted that they should not receive good things. Like this time, if what he brings back is a majestic head with a mane
These people were probably jealous of the rustling warg, and even looked for opportunities to make things difficult for him. But he was injured and looked miserable, and the appearance of his mount was also terrible. These people felt balanced in their hearts. The subtext is: Look,
How about it? It’s so shameless. It’s called a man fighting a bird...
The horse runs at about 20 kilometers per hour, and the fastest can reach 60 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, it can run continuously for 100 kilometers. The speed of Neo and his team is about 35 kilometers per hour. The horse will slow down almost every 10 kilometers to let the horse rest for a few minutes. This is
Cherish the mount, after all, they are all riding alone. If there is a problem with the ride while running wildly, there is no way to replace it, and if the situation requires the mount to contribute, and the result is unable to do anything, then it will be a mistake.
A manor generally includes a village and the land around it, and Neo's destination, Turres, is no exception. If it is different from other places, then Lord Mammeris is a relatively benevolent lord.
Operated, Tures has nearly 200 homes
There are 200 households and a population of about 1,200. This is already the size of a town in the Fury Alliance. And because the coat of arms of the Mammeris family is a tulip, and Tures translated it in the common language of the mainland, it also means tulip.
So this town is called Tulip Town, and among the people, it is more famous than the official name of "Tulip Manor"
Coming out of Sowers City, follow the avenue that can accommodate six horses running 17 kilometers south. There is a fork in the road. Take the east road to Tulip Town. At the fork in the road, Adrian holds the reins in one hand and raises the other hand. Behind him,
Everyone reined in their mounts one after another, and the speed slowed down again.
Neo patted the warg's neck and looked closely. He saw a ferocious human head hanging on the wooden post sign on the fork in the road. The head held a piece of parchment covered with stones in its mouth, and it was written in blood: Again
Go forward, this is the end
"Angelo"
"Sir," answered a knight attendant carrying a ram's horn and a big bow.
"Shoot the head down later. Be careful to shoot upwind. This thing may be a trap."
"Yes, sir"
Everyone rode their mounts and turned down the side road. This side road was made of dirt covered with sand. Normally, it would not be difficult to walk. However, after the first snowfall, the ground was still warm and the snow melted. Now it has turned into thin snow and mud.
, it’s depressing to watch, especially when Neo is riding a warg. The wolf’s shoulders are only more than 130 centimeters from the ground, which is similar to a donkey. You can imagine that running on such a road, you will probably be splashed with mud and water.
When everyone was far away, Angelo bent his bow and set an arrow. The arrow he used was as thick as an adult's thumb. The black and shiny agarwood arrow shaft looked like black iron. When the arrow was shot, it made a shrill sound as it shot through the air.
, people can feel the smell of urgency when listening to it
Boom! The head exploded as expected. A large puff of poisonous green smoke dispersed, with a radius of 6 meters. After being blown away by the wind, the snow on the ground squeaked and a large area of charred black appeared.
All the attendants and sergeants looked at them sideways. One of them, a sergeant with a beard as short as a steel needle, spat, "Damn these black-hearted people, they won't let anyone die, and they even write some bloody words to irritate people. If they are not adults,
Now, nine times out of ten, I will have to use my sword to strike."
With no trace of the flattery, Adrien felt comfortable and admonished him in the tone of an experienced person: "I'm afraid the devil's minions won't just set up a 'skull-exploding poisonous mist' trap. Everyone, cheer up."
, to be able to pull off such a trick, the opponent obviously has a spell caster, do you all still remember the key points of dealing with spell casters?"
"Calm down, be alert to avoid arrows, use your brain more, and shut up that girl..." Everyone recited it in unison, and they all laughed after reciting it.
Neo on the side nodded secretly. As a knight, Adrian is obviously competent. A capable team is like a muscle in an arm. It cannot be too tight or too loose. Only with the right amount of tightness can tension be maintained.
It's full of power, and it's powerful after it's activated.
After everyone got off the main road, they marched leisurely, as if they were warming up before an intense exercise, and rushed all the way to Tulip Town.
Neo urged his mount to catch up with Adrian, "Sir, turn south and 2 miles back is the Tulip Forest Road."
"Yeah" Adrien snorted.
Neo knew that there was no need to say anything more, so he rode his horse back to the queue. His position was relatively at the back of the queue. The two riders rode side by side. He and a sergeant were in the second to last row.
The woods are a relatively easy place to set up an ambush, especially for cavalry. Use obstacles to cross the road, and the ambushers can shoot or attack from the woods on both sides. The cavalry who loses mobility will be very passive.
After turning a hill, the road heads south, and the tulip forest road has appeared in people's sight. A vast forest, lying there like a screen, with no end to the east and west. If you want to go around, you can do it.
"Charge with me later. You are not allowed to stop without orders. Do you understand?" Adrian asked in a loud voice.
"Understood!" everyone responded in one voice
Still more than 300 meters away from the entrance of the forest road, Adrian pulled out the knight's sword from his waist and said, "Wind Cavalry, charge with me!"
Everyone drew their weapons and followed Adrian behind, urging their mounts to speed up gradually.
By the time they arrived at the entrance of the tulip forest road, the 13 riders had already accelerated to the maximum speed, more than 60 kilometers per hour, with hooves rumbling and mud and snow flying, as they rushed into the forest.
The trees in the winter have sparse branches and leaves, but the heavy snow is like the tops of giant forest mushrooms, blocking the sky and the sun. The light in the forest is much dimmer than outside, and the haze in the sky and the whooshing wind are also
Two qualified accomplices, so mysterious and dim, it makes people feel cold and refreshing.
"Hoo, ho!" Neo adjusted his breathing rate according to the ups and downs of the warg as he ran. His hips had slightly left the saddle, and the muscles in his legs had tightened. In this way, he could always
The fighting method of the wolf cavalry is different from that of ordinary cavalry, because the warg is not only a mount, but also a fierce comrade who can be relied on. Many rangers' partners play the dual roles of mount and familiar.
Just before entering the forest, Neo had already smelled the smell of decay in the wind. It was the scent of darkness. He knew that there was indeed an ambush in the forest.
The total length of the forest road is more than 500 meters. After riding halfway, we saw several felled trees blocking the road in the distance.
Adrian did not stop, but led the crowd to continue charging. Seeing that the obstacle was less than 5 meters away, Adrian swung his knight's sword in an instant, and three bright silver, crescent-like light blades were released from the knight's sword.
, advancing in a zigzag shape, the trees blocking the road were all cut off by the light blade, and they were destroyed for a while, with branches flying and leaves dancing. Amidst the shouts, Adrian swung his left hand in the air, and invisible energy waves surged, recorded in
The explosion on the ground spread out with all its force, the road was cleared, and the riders passed by quickly.
In the woods on both sides, the ambushed Immortals rushed out in a swarm amidst furious orders. There were still some archers shooting, but could any of them stop Neo and his party?
Amidst the shouts of "Oh! Oh", everyone urged their mounts while knocking away the arrows that occasionally came, and successfully fled away.
