Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 363: You Dou

After leaving Storm City, the advancing speed of the army was not fast, but slowly advancing towards the south of Mord's territory. From time to time, one or two riders will return from afar, and the same number of knights in the team will leave. They are scouts and sentries, responsible for scouting and guarding. After losing two crusade teams in a row, Reg became cautious. Even worrying that the cavalry who are alone will be attacked, the tenth-level knight is fully used for this role.

Their strength has reached the standard of the world, and they have rich experience, which is not comparable to those shrunken thunder knights. Even if these knights are attacked, they can still find a way to escape. What's more, more than two knights are dispatched every time, and the distance between them is limited. In the event of an emergency, they can take care of each other.

Under such arrangements, the army did not encounter a single attack from departure to 3:00 pm.

During the period, they passed a small town that was attacked last night. Reg was silent for a moment in front of the charred barracks, and then continued his journey. According to the information brought back by the knights, after attacking two small towns last night, the rioters were moving to the south of the territory. There was a wilderness of scattered hills and pinnacles. Moving forward, it is the area of ​​the Blood Rock Wasteland.

From this, Reg deduced that the bandits were preparing to retreat into the Blood Rock Wasteland. Once they are separated from the territory of Storm City, it will be difficult to find them again. In view of Maud's extremely bad mood at present, if he fails to catch this gangster, the baron's anger will most likely be vented on himself. Therefore, Reg decided to kill the violent bandits in the territory no matter what.

Up to now, he no longer cared whether this team was ordered by Papa Dick.

Two more riders came back, and they brought back reliable information. The rioters who were resting were found one kilometer ahead, and it has been determined that their number is about 20. Although the number of people is less than the information he has, Reg doesn't intend to let them go. Just to be careful, he only took fifty cavalry to set off first. The remaining thirty cavalry advanced with the infantry regiment and served as a supplementary force for the second echelon.

But in fact, Reg didn't think that to deal with the thugs with about 20 people, it was necessary to use the power of the follow-up army. After all, there were 15 knights of standard strength in the hands of the people he brought!

Fifty cavalrymen galloped wildly, and the iron hoofs raised a huge cloud of dust. In the relatively flat terrain in the south, let alone only about a kilometer apart, they can be clearly seen even if they are farther away.

Allen was riding on the horse, seeing everything in his eyes. He looked back, and there were Regis and twenty Mountain King warriors staying beside him. The other mountain king warriors, together with the dark blade, were commanded by Belmode and sneaked to it. Allen smiled and said: "Remember, Storm City has sent their main force this time. No matter how hard we can fight, it is impossible to gnaw on this hard bone. So stay put, and then run away, Remember the route I planned?"

The soldiers nodded in response: "I know.

"

"Then have fun with them."

When Reg arrived, he saw the other party preparing to evacuate from a distance. How could he let go of such an opportunity, and hurried to go immediately. The opponent's reaction was also quick. When they saw the cavalry coming, they knew that it would be difficult to get rid of them, so they immediately planned to evacuate. The Mountain King warrior dressed as a bandit immediately picked up his fire/gun and fired. Reg smiled secretly and made a gesture. His own cavalry counterattacked and fired back to cover the people on his side.

The knight in charge of the charge had a steel shield in front of him, and the projectiles fired by the fire/gun could not wear this kind of three-centimeter-thick hand shield.

After a burst of knocking sound like a rainstorm, the cavalry quickly narrowed the distance between the two sides, and when the two sides were about to collide. All the Mountain King warriors roared, threw away their rifles, and went forward with shields and hammers instead. They rolled on the spot, and the war hammer did not hit the cavalry, but aimed at the horses. The cavalry's scalp exploded, and the mountain king warrior rolled towards the ground, and a black shadow was swept out by the warhammer, hitting the horse's leg, and there was a sound of broken bones in the field.

The horse's leg broke, and the horses fell to the ground one after another. Well-trained knights bounce and land before falling off their horses. Then he drew out his long sword and killed the Mountain King warrior. Under Alan's command, the Mountain King formed a tight line of defense. The two teamed up to cooperate with each other, barely blocking the knight's attack.

When Reg saw it, he shouted to charge. Together with the cavalry in charge of fire support, he launched a second wave of attack. He had just sprinted for a short distance when a dark red area suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him. Reg yelled: "Be careful, there is a magician!"

Hearing his warning, Allen smiled, and inspired the ability to charge with flames. Three consecutive fire pillars, separated by a meter from each other, formed a dense impact area. Reg and the others were charging, unable to stop their horses at all, so they could only bite the bullet and crash into the pillar of fire rising into the sky. Reg was fine, his level 15 strength left him with blackened armor, curly hair, and slight burns on his body. As for the high temperature and impact of the flame, it was offset by his own source force.

But the cavalry behind him were not so happy.

It was just a rush of flames, at least half of the cavalry were knocked off their horses. The horses that were able to rush through the pillar of fire also fell to the ground whining, and the knights rolled on the ground with their hot armor. When they got up, they were greeted by Regis' high-speed sword strikes like thunder and flashes.

Reg's horse was also injured and fell to the ground, but the knight leader ushered in Alan's continuous sword like a black tide. Qianjun's blade was glowing red, and the surrounding air became extremely dry. Every time Alan slashed, he must have a fierce murderous aura, which made Reg's heart shudder. He can now be sure that these people are not Dick's gangsters at all.

Even Dick himself is not as powerful as the silver-haired boy in front of him, so how can he command such a powerful subordinate?

It's just that time doesn't allow him to think about it, Reg draws his sword to block, the swords collide, and sparks fly everywhere. The huge force carried by the black heavy knife struck, making Reg's arms numb. Dangdang, Allen's sword was heavier than one sword, and the turbulent sword's momentum left Reg with only the ability to defend, and don't expect to counterattack.

With another slash, Allen let out a clear whistle, dragging the knife and drifting back. Reg was about to pursue him, but he saw the opponent's black knife slashed horizontally, and suddenly a flickering orange light came towards him. That ray of light split the world in Reg's eyes into two, and the Knight Commander's hair stood on end, which was an extremely dangerous signal. Reg's whole body burst out with energy, and he slashed down with a vertical sword, and the sword light and flame flashes drawn out formed a complete cross.

When the source power of the two collided with each other, a fierce explosion was triggered immediately. While the flames were tumbling, Reg stepped back a few steps. He panted and looked at other places on the battlefield. The Mountain King Warrior had already heard the sound and evacuated, and the Thunder Knight was knocked down by two people. The others wanted to chase, but they were stopped by Reg.

Those people are not many in number, but they are very tricky. Although Reg doesn't want to admit it, in fact, if he catches up with him, he will only be eaten by the opponent with guerrilla tactics in the end.

But Reg didn't know that when they fought Allen, the army behind was also attacked.

The attack came suddenly. The Dark Blade led by Belmode and some Mountain King warriors were cleverly camouflaged and ambushed near the path of the army. After the cavalry in front passed by, Belmode and the others attacked violently. They chose the middle section of the team, and retreated resolutely after a fierce charge. This made the cavalry who heard the shout of killing and turned around could only watch helplessly as they quickly disappeared into the nearby mountains and forests. In this attack, more than 20 infantrymen were killed.

Although the result of the battle was not great, it left a lingering shadow in the hearts of the soldiers.

Reg, who had just returned from the front, didn't even have the energy to get angry after hearing the soldiers' report. In the evening, the army set up camp to rest. Reg still sent scouts, and cavalry returned one after another at sunset, bringing the bandits to meet in the wilderness ten kilometers away, and set up camp to rest.

"It's only ten kilometers?" Reg snorted. The other party did this, showing that he didn't take his army seriously.

This bright slap slapped Reg's cheeks with heat. After hesitating for a while, he decided to cast doubt. Putting on the illusion that the army is camping here, in fact, he left the camp with a troop of infantry and all the thunder knights, preparing to raid the bandit camp ten kilometers away.

When he left the barracks, Reg suddenly felt unbearably cold. He turned his head to look, and on a road stone not far away, a grass-green snake was coiling its body, staring at him with faint eyes. Reg's eyes suddenly lit up, and his murderous aura burst out. The snake seemed to be frightened, and immediately swam down the stone and disappeared into the darkness.

After Reg let out a bad breath, he felt a little relief in his chest, and then directed the team to leave.

The night is vast, and the starry sky is covered with dark clouds, covering the moonlight, which is a good opportunity for a sneak attack. After Reg led the team forward for several miles, all the knights dismounted and walked on foot, so as not to alarm the bandits by the sound of horseshoes. From a long distance, they saw the flames of the other party's camp. Two thugs on duty at night were standing by a bonfire, seeming to be chatting about something, making a suppressed laugh or two from time to time.

Reg made a gesture of action, and the team immediately spread like a big net. When all the soldiers entered the combat position, Reg was just about to close the net. But the two rioters seemed to have noticed something, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and then rushed towards the gap in the encirclement net. When Reg realized something was wrong and shouted to command the soldiers to rush up, the two rioters had already disappeared into the night.

Only then did Reg realize that the camp was very quiet, not even a single war horse. When he rushed into the tent, he found no one inside. He suddenly changed his expression and shouted: "Go back to the camp!"

When they returned to the camp, the corpses were moved out one after another. Most of the dead were Thunder Knights, and the attack happened not long after Reg and the others left. The bandits emerged from the night and launched a fierce attack on the camp. Their goals are clear, and almost all of them are heading towards the Thunder Knight. In the soldier's description, the word "silver-haired boy" was mentioned more than once, because at least five of the corpses on the ground were killed by that boy, which left a deep impression on the soldier.

After listening to the report, Reg only felt that the gods had abandoned him, and the God of Misfortune was lingering by his side. Otherwise, how could he have fallen into his trap twice in a row?
