"Focus on the journey." Falke said indifferently, "Have you cleared the area ahead?"
Ether put away his leather bag and said in a muffled voice, "There is another large army ahead. It seems that the military factory has sent out all its forces."
"Alright," Falke ordered decisively, "There's no need to expose too much strength at once. We will split into two groups. The left wing follows me. Dead Star, you lead the right wing. Let Ether scout the enemy ahead and outflank this army from both sides. The Shining Angel will monitor the overall situation. Is that ok?"
With a whistle, the magic horses on both sides dispersed and ran wildly in two different directions. In Yu Mengzhou's memory, this was the first time they had dispersed and acted.
"Is this really okay?" he asked Falke anxiously, "Will anything go wrong?"
"We didn't separate before because there was no other way. Our strength was suppressed too weak, and separation would be tantamount to seeking death," Falke replied. "Now, the situation is very different."
Even though they were traveling on a steep mountain, the horses were still galloping like they were on flat ground, and their speed did not slow down at all. Yu Mengzhou looked at the horizon and finally saw the army that Ether called "coming out in full force."
"Wow!" He couldn't help but exclaim, "It's like pouring a bag of sesame seeds on the ground, a huge black mass. So many people..."
Falke said: "Even if there are twice as many, it will not be of any use. We are going into the dark, are you ready?"
Yu Mengzhou uttered an "hmm" in confusion, and heard Falke calling Gao'er's name. In an instant, the magic horse changed its shape and merged into the night, surrounding the herd of horses in a shadow as thick as ink, covering their scarlet eyes and the flames burning on their manes.
The night is the best barrier. After wiping out the two blocking advance troops in succession at lightning speed, the magic horses ignored the main force in the rear and walked away without even looking around.
They galloped straight through the dark night. With the help of shadows, the sound of their iron hooves hitting the ground was no longer deafening like thunder, but as light and silent as a swift touching the water.
"Find a new base," Falke ordered, "and once you're settled, you're not allowed to use your abilities anymore."
"Angel Shine saw one, right in front of us!" A high-pitched voice came from within the shadow, "It's just a little far away, we have to speed up."
At this moment, Yu Mengzhou was already tired.
He didn't wear a watch, so he didn't know how much time had passed. At first, he could still talk to the magic horse on the way, but now, he was lying on the spacious horse's back with his toolbox in his arms, letting the reins tie him tightly.
He knew that Falque was trying his best to keep his body steady so that he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable on the horse's back, but even sitting in a car for a few hours would make a person feel mentally exhausted, let alone riding a horse for such a long time.
"Anyway... wake me up when you get here..." He yawned, "I'm a little sleepy, let's see if I can fall asleep..."
The tail sound gradually faded away, he became dazed and his eyes closed in an instant.
"Asleep?" The dirty tongue whispered these words softly, "Can he really fall asleep?"
