Chapter 363: Fighting

After leaving Storm City, the army did not advance quickly, but slowly advanced towards the south of Maude's territory. From time to time, one or two horsemen would return from afar, and the same number of knights would leave the party. They are scouts and sentinels, responsible for finding the way and keeping guard. After losing two raiders in quick succession, Reg became cautious. Even fearing that the lone cavalry would be attacked, the knights of the tenth level were all used in this role.

Their strength is up to the standards of the world, and they are experienced, not comparable to those shrunken Thunder Knights. Even if these knights were attacked, they would be able to find a way to escape. What's more, two or more knights are dispatched each time, and the distance between them is limited, so in case of emergencies, they can take care of each other.

Under this arrangement, from departure until 3 p.m., the army did not encounter a single attack.

During this time, they passed by a small town that had been attacked last night. Reg was silent for a moment in front of the charred barracks before continuing his journey. According to the information brought back by the knights, after attacking two towns last night, the bandits were moving to the south of the territory. It was a wilderness with scattered hills and pillars. Further on, there is the area of the Bloodstone Wasteland.

From this, Reg deduced that the bandit was preparing to retreat into the Bloodrock Wasteland. Once they are out of Storm City's territory, it will be difficult to find them again. In view of Maude's unbroken mood at the moment, if he could not catch this thug, most of the Baron's anger would be sprinkled on himself. So Reg decided to kill the bandits in the territory no matter what.

By now, he didn't care if the group was at the behest of Daddy Dick.

Two more riders returned, and they brought back reliable information. A kilometre ahead of them, the thugs were spotted resting and their number was determined to be around twenty. Although there were fewer people than he had, Reg had no intention of letting them go. Just to be careful, he set off with only fifty cavalry. The remaining thirty cavalrymen 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 bandits of about twenty people, it was necessary to use the strength of the follow-up army. After all, there are 15 knights of standard strength in the hands of the people he brought!

Fifty horsemen galloped wildly, their iron hooves raising a huge cloud of dust and smoke. In the relatively flat terrain in the south, not to mention only about a kilometer apart, it can be clearly seen even if it is far away.

Alan rode on his horse and took a qiē into his eyes. He looked behind him, and there were Regers and twenty Mountain King warriors who remained with him. The other Sanjo warriors, along with Darkblade, were commanded by Belmode and sneaked there. Alan smiled and said, "Remember, Storm City has already sent their main force this time. No matter how hard we can fight, we will not be able to gnaw this hard bone. So stay and make a show, and then run away, remember the route I planned? ”

The warriors nodded in response, "Yes." ”

"Then have fun with them."

When Reg arrived, he saw from a distance that the other party was preparing to evacuate. How could he let go of such an opportunity, and hurried away immediately. The other party also reacted quickly, and when he saw the cavalry galloping, he knew that it was difficult to get rid of them, and immediately planned to evacuate. The warrior of the Mountain King, disguised as a bandit, immediately picked up the fire/gun and fired, Reg smiled secretly, gestured, and fired back with his own cavalry to cover the people on his side.

The charging knight had a steel shield in front of him, and the projectiles fired from fire/spear were not yet able to wear such a three-centimeter-thick hand shield.

After a torrential downturn, the cavalry quickly closed the distance between the two sides, and saw that the two sides were about to collide. The warriors of the Mountain King all yelled, threw away their rifles, and met them with shields and hammers instead. They rolled on the spot, and instead of smashing at the cavalry, the hammer was aimed at the horses. The horsemen's scalps exploded, and they saw the warriors of the Mountain King rolling close to the ground, and the war hammer swept out a black shadow in the horse's leg, and suddenly the sound of a broken bone sounded in the field.

The horse's leg was broken, and the horses fell to the ground. Trained knights bounce and land before falling off their horses. Then he drew his long sword and killed the Mountain King's warriors, and under Allen's command, the Mountain King formed a tight line of defense. The duo worked together to block the Knights' attack.

When Reg saw it, he shouted to charge. He launched a second wave of attack with the cavalry in charge of fire support, and had just made a short sprint when a dark red area suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him, where the source power was churning, almost like magma boiling underground. Reg yelled, "Be careful, there's a magician!" ”

Alan could hear his warning, and he smiled, activating the ability to rush to the ground. Three pillars of fire in a row, separated by meters from each other, formed a dense impact area. Reg and the others were charging, and they couldn't stop their horses at all, so they could only crash into the pillar of fire that rose into the sky. Fortunately, Regg's level 15 strength made him only have black armor, a fever and curls, and a slight burn on his body. As for the high temperature and impact of the flames, they were offset by his own source force hedge.

But the cavalry behind him was not so good.

It was just a burst of flames, and at least half of the cavalry knocked off their horses. Others who were able to rush through the pillar of fire fell to the ground with a wail, and the knights rolled across the ground with their hot armor, and when they rose, they were greeted by the high-speed sword strikes of Regess, which flashed like thunder.

Reg's horse was also injured and fell to the ground, but the Knight Commander ushered in Allen's continuous sword momentum like a black tide of rage. The blade of the Qianjun blade was dyed red, and the air around him became extremely dry. Every time Eren slashed, he must have rolled up a fierce murderous aura, which made Reg feel a chill in his heart. He was now certain that these men were not Dick's thugs at all.

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

It's just that time doesn't allow him to think about it, Reg draws his sword to block, swords collide, and sparks splash everywhere. The huge force carried on the pitch-black heavy knife struck and shook Regg's arm sore. When Dangdang, Allen's knife weighed more than one knife, and the turbulent knife momentum slashed Reg only with the ability to defend, and did not expect to fight back.

With another slash, Alan let out a clear whistle and dragged the knife back. Reg was about to pursue, but saw the opponent's black knife slash horizontally, and suddenly an orange light that flickered and disappeared came to his face. The light split the world in Reg's eyes in two, and the Knight Chief's hairs stood on end, a sign of extreme danger. The source power of Reg's whole body exploded, and a sword slashed down, and the sword light and flame flash that were dragged out formed a complete cross.

The source power of the two collided with each other, and a fierce explosion was immediately triggered. As the flames rolled, Reg took a few steps back. He gasped and looked at the rest of the battlefield, the Mountain King Warrior had already evacuated when he heard the sound, the Angry Thunder Knight was knocked down by two people, and the others tried to chase after him, but were stopped by Reg.

There aren't many of them, but they're very tricky. Although Reg didn't want to admit it, in fact, if someone like him chased after him, he would only be eaten by the other party with guerrilla tactics in the end.

Unbeknownst to Regg, the army in the rear had also been attacked while they were fighting Allen.

The attack came suddenly, and the Darkblade, led by Belmode, and some of the Mountain King's warriors, after clever camouflage, lay in ambush near the path the army passed. After the cavalry in front passed, Belmode and the others attacked violently. They chose the middle of the line, and retreated after a sharp dash. This made the cavalry who heard the shouts of killing turn around and galloped could only watch helplessly as they quickly disappeared into the nearby mountains and forests, and in this attack, about twenty infantry were killed.

Although the results of the battle were not great, they left a lingering shadow in the hearts of the soldiers.

Regg, who had returned from the front, didn't even have the strength to get angry after listening to the soldier's report. In the evening, the army set up camp to rest. Reg still sent out scouts, and at sunset the cavalry returned, bringing the bandits to the wilderness ten kilometers away, and setting 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.

The slap made Reg's cheeks hot, and after a moment of hesitation, he decided to stop asking. Posing as if the army was encamped here, he actually left the camp with a force of infantry and all the Thunder Knights, ready to raid the bandit camp ten kilometers away.

As he left the barracks, Reg suddenly felt chills. He turned his head to see that on a roadstone not far away, a grass-green snake was coiled, staring at him with a faint gaze. Reg's eyes suddenly lit up, and a murderous aura burst out. The serpent seemed frightened, and immediately swam down the stone and disappeared into the darkness.

Reg let out a bad breath, only to feel that his chest was more relaxed, and he commanded the team to leave.

The night is vast, the starry sky is overcast, and the moonlight is obscured, which is a good opportunity for a sneak attack. After Reg had marched several miles with his party, all the knights dismounted and walked so as not to alarm the bandits with the sound of horses' hooves. Far away, I saw the fire of the other camp. Two thugs on night duty were standing by a campfire, as if chatting about something, and from time to time let out a suppressed laugh or two.

Reg made a gesture of action, and the team immediately spread out like a wide net. By the time all the soldiers had entered the combat positions, Reg was about to close the net. The two thugs, however, suddenly jumped up from the ground as if sensing something, and then sprang away from the gap in the encirclement network. By the time Reg realized something was wrong and yelled for the soldiers to rush forward, the two thugs had disappeared into the night.

Only then did Reg realize that the camp was so quiet that there wasn't even a single horse. When he stormed the tent, he found that there was no one inside. He suddenly changed color and shouted, "Go back to camp!" ”

When they returned to the camp, bodies had been removed. Most of the dead were Thunder Knights, and the attack took place shortly after Reg's departure. The thugs emerged from the darkness of the night and launched a fierce attack on the camp. Their goal is clear, and almost all of them are headed towards the Raging Thunder Knight. In the soldier's description, the silver-haired boy was mentioned more than once, because at least five of the corpses on the ground were killed by the boy, so the soldier was deeply impressed.

After listening to the report, Reg only felt that the gods had abandoned him, and the god of doom was hovering beside him, otherwise how could he have fallen for someone's tricks twice in a row? R1058
