Knight Kyle was standing on a hillside with a map in his hand, he looked at the terrain and then at the map in his hand.

The map was undoubtedly rudimentary, and Knight Krylov had never expected Krylov III to equip them with such a precise map, but to his surprise, it was actually drawn in the modern era, and although it was not surprising, it was enough for him to identify his position.

This kind of map is supposed to be of the 'military' level, and it is also drawn in modern times, and Krylov III would give them this kind of map, should he say that he has no defense against the Tempest, or ...... Is the situation already critical?

With the Knight of Tosolo on the front line, Knight Kyle thought that the situation was unlikely to be too critical, because Knight Kyle and Knight Tosolo had both been the teachers of Krylov III and had taught him military knowledge, although he had not seen him for a long time, but at a critical juncture, the powerful Krylov III, who had seen Knight Tosoro, should have asked Knight Tosoro for help.

After all, as long as he loses, he will not only lose face, but everything will be deprived, and the former Krylov III is a more competitive child, so Kell Knight does not believe that the front line is in a hurry.

Besides, what else?

Occasionally, the knights of Tosolo would write back, informing them that 'everything is safe', and sometimes they would write something about the front.

The Knight of Tosolo had mentioned in his letter that the war had entered a 'stalemate', and the lives of the soldiers were constantly being thrown into that battlefield, although it was still advancing slowly, but the results were much smaller than the previous high-spirited songs.

Knight Kyle shook his head, putting the questions behind him for the time being, he was only standing here to determine his direction again.

Looking back behind him, he saw that the soldiers were ready to go, Knight Kyle rolled up the map in his hand, put it away properly, took his horse, stood at the front of the team, and waved his big hand, "Keep going!"

Both the knights and the soldiers had already received a good rest, and now the weather was not bad, there was no snow, and they could continue on their way.

Hurrying is the most boring thing, especially when the baggage slows down the march, which should have taken more than a month, but now it has not reached it for more than two months.

During this period, there were also unpredictable factors such as 'wind and snow blocking the road', but the baggage did slow down the march.

However, if there is no baggage, the army will not be able to complete the supply, whether it is equipment repair or food replenishment after the battle, it needs to rely on baggage, so this is also a last resort.

Fortunately, they were not too far from the front line now, and the territory had already been attacked by the royal army, so they did not have to worry about encountering enemy troops on the road and slowing down the march again.

Knight Kyle had already confirmed that after a few more hills, there would be a small village ahead, where they could make some exchanges with the villagers if they could, replenishing the supplies they had consumed - although there was a good chance that this would not be successful.

The former Sorrowful Wind Territory was so poor, not to mention other territories, the small village in front of it was a real 'small village', it had just experienced a war, and there was probably not much surplus of supplies, and even if no one starved to death this year, it would be necessary to thank the gods.

The army from the Grim Wind Leader walked the roads through the mountains and forests, and the soldiers occasionally chatted with each other, but the sound was just as subtle, muffled by the sound of horses' hooves.

Knight Kyle led his horse at the head of the procession, his standard-bearer behind him, carrying a fluttering banner on his shoulder, on which the 'Sword and the Black Dragon' motif danced in the gale.

The flagpole and flag were heavy, but nothing to the nearest 'transcendent' standard-bearer, and the young man stood tall and looked as serious as his mentor.

The flag was very heavy, and if it weren't for the strong wind, they wouldn't have been able to fully unfurl it at their current speed.

The wind blew the flags to the ground, for the winter had not yet fully passed, and the soldiers were breathing in a cold mass with their mouths open and closed.

In these temperatures, there is not much humidity even in the mountains and forests, so they have no worries about their clothes getting on their bodies or rusting the joints of their armor.

"Whew!"

Knight Kyle glanced sideways, and after seeing two puffs of white gas from his nostrils, Knight Kyle withdrew his gaze again.

Click!

The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, and there was a crisp sound, and then Knight Kair's war horse seemed to sense some discomfort in its nose, and shook its head again, "Huh!"

"Ah...... "Not only Knight Kyle's warhorse, but even his standard-bearer couldn't help but sneeze.

Hearing the sneezing, Knight Kyle frowned, turned his head and asked, "What's going on?"

Not only his own warhorse, but even his own standard-bearer sneezed, and Knight Kyle immediately raised his vigilance.

"Whew!"

Just as Knight Kyle was asking his standard-bearer, his horse snorted, spewed two puffs of heat from his nostrils, and stood still.

Knight Kyle felt the reins tighten in his hand and looked back at his horse in surprise.

"It's alright, Knight Chief, I just feel a little itchy in my nose......" The Bannerman rubbed his nose and heard his horse snort as well.

Knight Kyle and his standard-bearer stopped at the same time, and the soldiers who followed them naturally stopped.

After they stopped, the shouts of Knight Rodrigo came from behind them, "Knight Captain Kyle, what's going on?"

Seeing the horse's hooves swaying restlessly, Knight Kyle took a deep breath, "Prepare for battle!"

The knights and soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then put on their armor as fast as they could.

The mountains and forests were not suitable for cavalry fighting, so they did not mount their horses, but stood beside them, holding their weapons and waiting for the 'enemy' or the next order.

Knight Kyle didn't know what his horse felt, it grinned and showed its hideous fangs, generally speaking, only when facing a strong enemy, his horse would behave like this, so Knight Kyle did not doubt that he had him, so the soldiers were ready to fight.

The sharp gaze kept scanning ahead, and the war horse quieted down a little, Knight Kyle tugged at the reins, and the war horse also took two steps.

Knight Kyle pulls down his armor, "The enemy hasn't appeared, keep going!"

Originally thinking that there was not much danger, Knight Kyle did not send scouts to explore the front, because from here, it can already be regarded as the rear of the royal army, this is the back road they have prepared for themselves, if the front is defeated, this will become one of their retreat routes.

If there is still danger here, it can only be said that the royal army deserves to be defeated.

Still, Knight Kyle was willing to believe in the feeling of a warhorse, because this warhorse had been with him for fifteen years, was in the prime of life, and because as he galloped across the battlefield, its instincts could already be called 'terrible', and it had saved his life many times, so he had no doubts.

The knights and soldiers wore a suit of armor, and also put on the armor of their horses, and no country except the Tempest Leader would spend so much money on an ordinary army.

"Hoo ......"

The soldier wearing the helmet exhaled a breath of heat, although his physical strength was not bad, but he was stubborn and tense and walked for dozens of minutes, no matter what, he was tired.

Now he couldn't help but start wheezing.

In order to take care of the soldiers, and to be vigilant around, the Knight of Kyle did not go too fast, and the army marched much slower, but at this pace......

It's not far from that marked village on the map!

Seeing the uneasiness displayed by the war horse becoming more and more obvious, Knight Kyle not only had a trace of doubt.

'Could it be that village is the danger?'

Just as they were thinking, they had already stepped out of the mountains and saw the 'village'—

It should be a 'ruin', to be exact!
