The dark Thorn Mountain crouched like a giant beast in the southwest of Silvermoon City.
The terrain here is not high, and the mountain is overgrown with thorns, making it difficult to pass through, so there are generally few half-elf hunters who come here to hunt.
This has also led to the inaccessibility of people near the Thorn Mountain, which has become a paradise for wild animals.
Today, however, the tranquility of Thorn Mountain was suddenly broken.
Tread Tread—
There was a sound of horseshoes, startling countless birds and animals in the forest.
Whoosh whoosh!
A few sharp arrows flew by, but did not hit anyone, but caused a passing elk to suffer disaster.
The two sides in this pursuit battle are black and white. The black ones are naturally the Black Cavalry Army, while the ones wearing the white armored uniforms are the Tianma Legion from the Eastern Territory.
The black side has only one person, while the white side has slightly more people, about thirty cavalry, and judging from their uniforms, they should be sentry cavalry.
This is actually a bit strange.
Because the army is at war, sentry cavalry generally do not pursue desperately when they meet.
First of all, the main task of sentry cavalry is to bring back news, not the head of the enemy.
Moreover, if the pursuit is too deep, it is easy to be led into the encirclement of the enemy army, and it is completely suicidal.
However, the sentry cavalry squad of the Pegasus Legion is now chasing the black cavalry sentry cavalry ahead.
The reason why they were so desperate was because they discovered that this was a "big fish" - Viscount Colin Angelet!
Although the sentinels of the Pegasus Legion didn't understand why the distinguished Viscount of the Northern Territory would come out to inquire about the news in person, they put aside all their concerns after seeing Ke Lin's face that was exactly the same as in the portrait , wholeheartedly wanting to win the first victory in this battle!
The mountain road was difficult, and there were thorns and obstacles, and the speed of both sides did not reach the limit.
But between chasing and fleeing, he was almost halfway up the mountain.
There was already a little white foam on the horse's mouth, and it seemed that it might collapse to the ground from exhaustion at any time.
Colin reached out and touched the horse's neck, and found that the war horse under him was already sweating profusely, and it was obviously about to die.
The horses of the half-elf are still not as good as the good horses in the north.
Colin secretly complained.
But at this moment, the war horse under him suddenly staggered and rolled on the ground, and the bones broke and made a crisp sound, which was extremely ear-piercing.
Colin who was on the horse was also thrown out, but when he was in the air, he had already adjusted his posture. When he landed, he rolled forward to relieve the impact, and then jumped up vigorously.
"Quick, grab him!"
The eastern sentry cavalry who were chasing behind rushed forward as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Colin unhurriedly pulled out the [Blade of Judgment] on his waist, and faced the charging horses of more than a dozen horses, he assumed a fighting posture.
boom!
There was a loud bang.
[Blade of Judgment] Burning red flames, the dazzling golden holy light burst out instantly.
What followed was blood splattered everywhere, as if a rain of blood had fallen.
And the cavalryman who slammed into Colin head-on was split in half with his horse and man!
The blood and golden light gradually dissipated, and Colin's figure gradually appeared. He was already covered in blood, like a devil crawling out of hell.
Colin licked the blood all over his face, and was about to taunt him, when another cavalryman bumped into him from the side.
boom!
[Blade of Judgment] turned into a red light, and split the cavalryman in two.
However, next, there are third, fourth, fifth...
These eastern border sentry riders seemed to be crazy, rushing towards Ke Lin one after another, like moths to a flame.
After slaughtering the fifteenth cavalryman, Colin finally changed his face when he saw the sixteenth cavalryman rushing towards him.
The holy light emanating from the opponent's body showed that the sixteenth person was a knight.
At this time, Ke Lin's arms were numb from the previous crazy impact, and he didn't dare to take the impact head-on, so he quickly rolled on the spot in embarrassment to avoid the opponent's impact.
At this moment, he finally understood why the high-ranking knight could not escape the end of dying from exhaustion even when facing the encirclement of the army alone.
Just when Ke Lin was thinking about whether to transform, the sound of horseshoes sounded again in the forest.
Soon, more than ten black armored cavalry appeared on the battlefield.
"Protect Lord Viscount Angelet!"
Seeing this, the sentry riders in the east knew that they would definitely not be able to catch this big fish today, so they immediately turned their horses and fled down the mountain.
"Master Viscount, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Colin put away his long sword, and shouted at the cavalrymen who were trying to pursue, "Don't chase, let them run away."
"yes."
"My lord, a large number of Eastern Territory troops have gathered at the foot of the mountain. We are already surrounded. Do you want to break through immediately?"
Colin touched the blood on his face, shook his head and said, "No, it's not yet time."
"yes."
Ke Lin looked at the young but resolute face of the other party, and suddenly asked: "What? Are you scared?"
The black cavalry sentry shook his head decisively: "My lord, the black cavalry will never be afraid of battle!"
Ke Lin raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid even if it's a mortal battle?"
"Don't be afraid!"
The young black cavalry sentry knight straightened his chest, taking it for granted.
Colin stared into each other's eyes, and looked around again, and found that there was really no trace of fear in the eyes of these Black Cavalry soldiers.
His mood suddenly became very complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "In this battle, you will really die."
Boom!
The black cavalry sentry slapped the armor on his chest heavily, and said loudly: "As long as we can avenge the Shadow Canyon, we will die without regret!"
"Death without regret!"
"Death without regret!"
…
Looking at the impassioned faces in front of him, Ke Lin suddenly felt something surging in his heart.
Perhaps, this is the real reason why the Black Cavalry is invincible.
Colin took a deep breath, solemnly clasped his right hand on his chest, saluted everyone with a military salute, and said loudly:
"I promise you, I will fight with you to the last moment! Moreover, this eastern army will definitely be destroyed in the half-elven kingdom!"
—————
Under the Thorn Mountain, in the camp of the Tianma Legion.
A knight hurried into the temporary command post, saluted hurriedly, and reported loudly: "Master Marquis, I have found Viscount Angelet on Thorn Mountain!"
Marquis Vincent's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?"
"Sure, I've fought against him before."
"Okay!" Marquis Vincent slapped the table excitedly, stood up, and walked back and forth in the tent.
Combined with the situation detected by other sentries before, there is indeed an army of more than 8,000 people hidden in this thorny mountain. Now that Colin is seen again, Marquis Vincent can basically confirm that—
The remnants of the black cavalry army hid in this mountain.
"Hehe, this Colin Angelet is really stupid to hide the army in such a dead place!
Moreover, he still lacks the courage to make a decision. If he had led the army out earlier decisively, he might have escaped part of it, but unfortunately, now that the net has been woven, he can't escape even if he wants to! "
After a while, he stood still again and ordered:
"Pass down my military order to guard the foot of the mountain, and don't let any Black Cavalry soldiers rush out.
Also, let the soldiers cut down trees and collect weeds, and tomorrow morning, I will burn this mountain of thorns! "
"yes!"
