The cavalry team of fifty men was running like lightning, a layer of faint brilliance appeared on the armor of the knights, which not only made them lose their due weight, but also gave the horses magical power.
Let these galloping war horses still be able to quickly recover their physical strength while galloping.
This is a secret technique unique to the Temple of War God!
For believers in the Temple of War, war horses are the best companions.
Even, some believers will choose a war horse and spend countless magic materials to make the war horse have a lifespan and strength beyond imagination.
Carl is that kind of guy.
The war horse under his crotch has been carefully cultivated since he was fifteen years old.
From the age of fifteen to around twenty, he never slept in a bed, but slept on a haystack. When he practiced swordsmanship during the day, he was also near the war horse, and he was no exception when eating.
It can be said that in five years, Karl and his war horse have already connected with each other.
Coupled with the feeding of magic materials, the value represented by this war horse is enough to bankrupt dozens of ordinary middle-class families.
The reason Karl was able to feed him was because Karl was born in the traditional noble family of Sika, and had a blood relationship with the Viscount Sika. His mother was the younger sister of the Viscount Sika.
Of course, Karl was not able to become the commander of this cavalry because of his uncle.
But real strength!
Relying on the sword in his hand, he challenged the disobedient knights one by one.
After victorious battles, he became the commander of this cavalry.
The family is rich, and the family has a long history and has a self-inheritance.
This is the traditional aristocracy of Hokuriku.
As for morality
Not noble, but not despicable either.
After all, as a believer of the God of War, Karl still has a bottom line, so he distributed all the silver Sol he took from Bohr to his subordinates.
This made these subordinates respect Karl even more.
A powerful boss who is willing to give benefits to his subordinates will not be hated by any of his subordinates.
So none of the knights murmured when Karl gave the order to go full speed.
Even if they have been in this state for almost two hours.
Suddenly, Karl, who was lying on the horse's back, raised his hand and sat up straight.
Without any words, all the knights stopped. They drew out their long swords with a clear division of labor, lit the matchlock of the matchlock gun, and looked around vigilantly.
The pine forest on the frozen soil is silent in the afternoon.
The sun was slightly hidden, and a thin layer of fog once again shrouded the road to the border Morsa.
Carl stared straight ahead.
He could sense something approaching.
It was very hidden but exuded an aura that disgusted him.
"The bastards hiding in the gutter?"
Karl gripped the long sword tightly, and the ruby shimmered on the side of the hilt of the long sword.
Immediately, there was a burning sensation on the icy permafrost, which came from the bottom of my heart, like a warrior about to fight on the battlefield.
At this moment, all the cavalry became excited.
They seem to have acquired endless courage.
With the support of such courage, their strength and speed have improved to varying degrees, and even their vision has become extremely good, at least those few cavalrymen with matchlock guns are like this.
boom!
bang bang!
Without hesitation, these cavalrymen fired.
No reporting required.
It was chartered by Carl.
It is also the most correct choice for many veterans who have really experienced battles and understand that the battlefield is changing rapidly.
Propelled by the gunpowder, the projectile flew out rapidly.
Although the matchlock guns in the hands of these cavalrymen are not heavy-duty bracket matchlock guns, their power is still not inferior to the bracket matchlock guns with 2.5 ounces of charge after the charge reaches 2 ounces.
Coupled with the refinement of the Temple of War, these matchlock guns are more reliable.
Not only the power, but also the accuracy is a step higher, especially in terms of self-protection, it is deeply loved by many people.
And this time, they also did not disappoint their holders.
Plop!
Everyone heard the sound of the projectile hitting and knocking down the opponent, and saw the fuzzy shadow falling to the ground in the distance.
Carl smiled, gave a thumbs up to the cavalry who shot behind him, and then waved his hand.
Immediately, Karl's deputy led five cavalry forward.
Karl and the others watched their own people's exploration while being vigilant.
This is not a temporary assignment, but a rotation.
Every time, Carl or his deputy should be the leader, and the remaining five people will take turns to go out from the team they are in.
Nothing special at this point, even though Karl is a nobleman.
God of War doesn't like cowards.
Soldiers will not obey a coward.
After Karl's deputy led five people into the fog, the diffuse fog suddenly rolled up and became thicker. The pine forests and roads that could be seen dimly disappeared completely.
Moreover, the mist seemed to come alive, rushing towards the cavalry.
Carl's heart tightened, and he immediately opened his mouth to remind his subordinates.
"Notice!"
With a loud shout, Karl clenched the long sword again, and the ruby on the hilt burst into light.
Immediately, the tumbling mist stopped in front of the team, but a vine escaped everyone's sight and came to his horse's feet without a sound, and then, like a poisonous snake jumping up Like, stab Karl in the back.
Carl was completely unaware of all this.
But his war horse sensed it, kicked all four hooves, and avoided the surprise attack very dexterously.
Karl waved the long sword in his hand in unison.
Click!
The vine was directly cut off.
A flame ignited from the incision where the green juice flowed out, and spread at an unimaginable speed. The cut off section was quickly burned into fly ash, and the section with the root was completely burned by the flames. surrounded.
ah!
Everyone was glad to hear the screams.
After completing a load and the musketeers of the second echelon, the muzzle was aimed there instantly.
Karl touched the neck of his war horse gratefully.
This is not the first time his steed has saved himself.
Every time is such a dangerous moment.
Because of this, he was more and more willing to sleep with his horse.
Therefore, at the age of thirty, he is still a widow.
Feeling Karl's touch, the war horse pawed its hooves, telling Karl the uneasiness in his heart.
Something is coming!
leave quickly!
"What?"
"What happened to Finissa?"
Karl, who was supposed to be able to communicate without hindrance, couldn't hear what his warhorse Finisa was saying at this time, as if someone was talking to you when there was a sudden tinnitus.
Something is coming!
leave quickly!
Finisa's heart became more and more irritable. It could feel that something terrifying was approaching, and, with malicious intentions, Karl, who had a tacit understanding with it, was affected before the other party approached.
And it can't do anything.
This made Finisa start neighing.
It hopes to inform Karl in this way.
"Phinesa, what are you talking about?"
Carl was still unable to hear clearly, but this did not prevent him from discovering the abnormality.
But inexplicably, he couldn't make any correct measures.
Not even a single command could be issued.
Because he felt that what he did was right.
Strange before
Yes, illusion.
Well, it's an illusion.
"Hey, Hada, why did you point your guns at me?"
Carl looked at his men puzzled.
At this moment, his subordinates stared at him intently.
The blade was pointed at him.
The gun was also pointed at him.
No one spoke, and there was a ferocious smile on the face hidden under the visor.
Carl wanted to say something more.
However, the war horse Finisa didn't wait any longer. She stamped her hooves on the ground and galloped with her master. She didn't move forward, let alone backward, but rushed towards the side of the hillside.
Those grinning soldiers did not pursue.
They changed their goals.
They looked at their colleagues around them.
Then…
The long sword was raised high.
The arquebus pulled the trigger.
The blood soaked the permafrost, and thick fog rushed up. When the fog dissipated, an elite cavalry team just disappeared, and no one knew what happened.
No!
wrong!
Somebody... well, some demons know.
The high-level evil spirit hidden underground witnessed the whole process, and its brows were tightly frowned.
"There are other existences?"
The upper evil spirit muttered to himself.
The handwriting just now was not the previous line of sight. In fact, that line of sight disappeared immediately when it found that it would meet this cavalry.
However, that line of sight disappeared.
But something else came up.
A bloodthirsty guy.
The other party is not satisfied yet, the other party is still looking for it.
It's a pity that the other party can't lock it.
"blind."
The superior evil spirit commented, and then, without hesitation, told his boss what he had just seen.
As for after
Naturally, he obeyed his boss's orders.
Before that, it can lie quietly in this land for a while longer.
Although it will not be too long, it will be a while if you can lie down for a while.
pity…
No sun.
It would be even better with a glass of juice.
I really want to hear the sound of the waves.
…
The galloping carriage arrived at Xika City in the afternoon.
It is called a city, but in Qin Ran's eyes, it looks like a town.
The only difference is that it has walls that are high enough and thick enough, and there are enough patrol soldiers.
"As a transit point between Altantinoburg and Morsa, Sika City is very safe and quite prosperous. Of course, it can't compare with Altantinoburg."
Bohr, who had just returned to the carriage, took the initiative to introduce.
With Karl's name, the soldiers at the city gate did not block them in any way. Even if they saw the trophies and prisoners on the roof of the car, they chose to turn a blind eye.
"The name of Mr. Karl is more useful than I imagined."
"A fine man indeed. May he be safe."
After Pohl finished speaking, he knocked on the car window behind him.
"Ashcano, let's go directly to 'Yanan Hotel', where I booked a room in advance."
"Yes, Mr. Pole."
It was obviously not the first time for the bodyguard to come to Xika City, so he turned the carriage around and headed towards his destination.
"The owner of 'Yanan Hotel' is very hospitable. I have been here once before, and my memory is still fresh."
"So, this time I booked a private courtyard in the hotel. We will fix it here for a day, sell the loot, and replenish supplies before we set off."
"If you have nothing to do, you can hang around here. After all, as a transit point between Eitantinople and Morsa, the market in Sika City is still worth seeing."
"There will be a lot of good things being sold here, not everyone is happy to go to Morsa."
While talking, Boer took out a bulging money bag from the hidden compartment of the carriage, and handed it to Kieran.
gold.
100 pieces.
As soon as Qin Ran touched the purse, he got accurate information.
"There are 70-80 trophies that belong to you. This is an advance payment to you. We will calculate the general ledger after I deal with the prisoner of war."
Pol explained.
"Um."
Qin Ran nodded.
He wasn't worried that Boll would cheat himself.
Because the other party is not stupid.
After putting away the purse, Qin Ran looked out of the carriage.
The street is fairly tidy. There is nothing intrusive on the street, but the corners are full. Kieran naturally turned his gaze away.
Many vendors shuttle here.
As the largest transfer station between Eitantinople and Morsa, there is nothing lacking here, but there will be no shortage of merchants and goods. Camel carts, caravans, and densely packed merchants make up this crowded street. , the soldiers in leather armor kept walking by the car, yelling at the merchants who piled up items randomly, and at the same time, they scanned everything around them, as if they wanted to make a move at any time.
Their main target is not merchants.
Instead, they followed the merchants and mixed in with some of them.
Wanted criminals, robbers, and bandits are their targets.
As for some of the local guys
These soldiers were obviously turning a blind eye. Kieran saw several Goldfingers huddled in the crowd like a fish in water. While doing their work, they did not forget to say hello to those soldiers.
In this regard, Qin Ran did not meddle in his own business.
Every place has its own rules.
He is happy to abide by these rules.
The premise is not to touch his rules.
"In the city, those evil breaths are much less."
"Although it still remains, it won't be as scary as a thick fog in the wilderness."
"but… "
"Other aspects have changed!"
Qin Ran raised his head and looked at the surrounding sky. The evil aura here seemed to be dispersed by the crowd, only slightly, but the remaining evil aura attracted Qin Ran's attention even more.
Because, in Kieran's eyes.
These remaining evils are more vivid.
Simply put, the evil breath of the wilderness is dull and lifeless.
And in front of you
But it is alive!
Very lively.
"A cult cult?"
Qin Ran guessed.
And at this moment, the higher level evil spirit transmitted everything it saw to Kieran's mind.
Qin Ran frowned.
It's not that the higher-ranking evil spirits didn't do well enough.
Rather, in his extraordinary [tracking] field of vision, those residual evil auras just seen have grown more than a circle at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then, more, the evil aura belonging to the wilderness was attracted into the city of Sika, and quietly distributed to the city of Sika.
This process is very fast.
But not silently.
It's just that no one found out except Qin Ran.
include…
The Temple of War in Sika City.
In Kieran's field of vision, it was still very bright and dazzling.
However, it was silent.
Kieran, who watched all these changes, narrowed his eyes slightly—
