A blinding glare shot into the sky. A purple sun appeared in the dark night sky, and under the effect of this powerful magic, the hot Lang ruthlessly rushed out in all directions, as soon as anyone came into contact with this hot Lang, the clothes and armor they were wearing would melt in an instant, followed by their skin, flesh, and bones......

When Hot Lang attacked, even Vivien, Adela and the others wearing Ryan's special armor were not spared, and the entire top of the Iron Fist Castle was razed to the ground by that powerful magic. When it was all over, there was only Catherine's smug laughter in the sky.

"No!" Ryan sat up from the felt and opened his eyes to pounce on Catherine, only to find himself in the tent. Ryan froze, and then remembered that he had followed Orlando into the prairie for a month, and it was obvious that Cassano's screams should have been in Ryan's dream.

Ryan took a deep breath, trying to soothe his emotions as much as he could, slowly put on his coat, lifted the curtain and walked out. It was the height of summer, so the temperature outside didn't feel any chill, Ryan first looked at the eastern sky, and found that it was already a little white, obviously the sun was about to rise, and a new day was about to come.

Ryan set his sights on the southwest, which was in the direction of his second hometown, Cassano, although Ryan's heart missed his parents, his wife, and Vivien very much, but he didn't let his thoughts wander, because he had a very important thing to do today, which was to attack the Clay camp in Mirror Lake.

In order to avoid the main force of Chief Abdul, Ryan and his army of Windswept Marksmen must set off 3 hours in advance, they will first detour dozens of kilometers to the south, and then gallop in the direction of Mirror Lake, and when the main force of the Clay tribe storms the camp of the expeditionary force, Ryan and they will attack the Mirror Lake camp to cooperate with Orlando's counterattack.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon, there's no one here to stop me, no!" Ryan said as he looked in Cassano's direction with a determined expression, and then he turned around and walked towards the camp where the Windswept Shooter was stationed.

When the eastern part of the prairie showed half of the sun's smiling face at the junction of heaven and earth, Ryan led 4,500 Windrun Shooters to set off, and in the month of entering the steppe, 5,000 Windrun Shooters lost hundreds of people in the battle with the Clay tribe, and minus some of the wounded who were seriously injured and could not run with the army, these 4,500 people are all the combat effectiveness of the current Windrun Marksman.

Fighting for a month without much loss, on the one hand, these popular archers have been strictly trained by the Moon Temple guard Seres and others from the elven race, and their own quality is very high, but on the other hand, it is because Ryan spared no expense to equip them with a full set of magic items, which even Orlando is quite envious, because there are currently armies fully armed with magic items on the entire continent, except for the Royal Knights, which are the 3 troops built by Ryan himself.

Watching Ryan gallop away with the Boomers, Orlando turned sideways to Jonas and said, "Okay, let's get started!"

Jonas solemnly gave a military salute to Orlando and left quickly, while Orlando turned around and walked into his military tent, where all the captains of the Royal Knights had been waiting for a long time, and immediately saluted together when they saw Orlando, the head of the regiment, enter.

Orlando returned the salute and said, "For this moment today, we have waited for one month on the prairie and four years in the imperial capital, and the glorious Royal Order will once again defeat the enemy in front of it, just as it has done in the past 200 years!"

"Honor is my life!" everyone replied in unison with their right fists to their chests.

――――――*――――――*―――――― "Report!" Our vanguard has advanced 10 kilometers and found no trace of the enemy!" shouted a Clay scout.

Chief Abdul sat high in his car and waved his hand casually, signaling the scout to leave. As the leader of the Klay tribe, Chief Abdul did not ride a horse, but chose this kind of chariot propelled by manpower. This kind of car has a full 20 wheels, and the space on it is also huge, enough to accommodate more than a dozen people, and at this time, only a few cronies such as Kairim and Rugman are sitting on it.

Chief Abdul did not speak after listening to the scout's report, but kept looking at the map hanging on the side wall of the car, but Rugman spoke first: "Strange, our army camp is 20 kilometers away from the enemy, and now our army is more than halfway forward, why can't ......we find their traces?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force should have chosen to stay in the camp. Kairim spoke suddenly.

"Yes!" Chief Abdul said, pointing in the direction of the march, "There are plains everywhere here, our cavalry of the Clay tribe is invincible here, and the army of the imperial capital is basically infantry, even if they are very strong in combat, but once they leave the camp, they will be shot by us with bows and arrows in turn." Even if it was a powerful royal knight order, it was not only able to hate the prairie!"

"What then?" asked Rugman.

"Hmph, since they won't come out, then we'll kill them!" Chief Abdul said with a sneer, "Immediately send an order down and inform the whole army, the imperial capital army is too timid to face the battle, and has chosen to retreat to defend." Now we will press over with superior forces and completely annihilate these invaders!"

After the herald left, Kairim whispered in Chief Abdul's ear, "Chief Chief, will there be any conspiracy among the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force?"

Chief Abdul laughed and said to Kairim: "It doesn't matter, because our army is far superior to the enemy, as long as we don't make mistakes, what can they do? And our army is all cavalry, even if there is any turn in the battle, with the mobility of our army, we can quickly get out of the battle." Now that we're invincible, what's there to worry about?"

"However, if the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force chooses to retreat to the defense to attract our army to press on it in a big way, and then divide the troops to attack our rear......" Kairim said with some concern.

"Haha, Kairim, you're worrying too much. Chief Abdul said in an affirmative tone: "The Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force is not large in number, and if they divide their troops, it will be useless if they have fewer people, and it will be difficult to protect themselves if they have more people." Besides, they would have to run for at least four hours to get around Mirror Lake, and by that time, I'm afraid we would have taken their camp long ago. ”

"Yes, they want to attack our camp unless they have wings and fly over the Mirror Lake!" Rugman echoed loudly.

Seeing that Chief Abdul was reasonable, Khairim ignored it. In a short time, Chief Abdul's order spread throughout the entire Klee army, and the sound of 450,000 people cheering in unison suddenly resounded throughout the land, and Chief Abdul pointed to the direction of the imperial capital expeditionary force camp with his hand, and gave the order for the whole army to attack.

450,000 horses galloped at once, the dust they raised covered the sun in the sky, and the flat earth also made a strong vibration, Chief Abdul looked at all this with great ambition, and said loudly: "True God protection, after today, our Klay tribe will rise again!"

――――――*――――――*―――――― At the same time, in the camp of the expeditionary force, Orlando stood quietly in front of a wooden stake inserted into the ground, the weather was very good today, as long as the shadow of the stake, Orlando could easily judge the time of appearance. Next to the stake, there is a large wooden barrel, which is filled with water, and the surface of the water is as calm as a mirror.

Suddenly, there was a slight ripple on the surface of the water in the barrel, which shook gently, and before it could disappear, a second ripple swelled on the surface of the water. Orlando looked at the projection of the stake, roughly estimated the time, and found that the Klay army had arrived almost an hour earlier than he expected, and it was clear that the chief Abdul could not wait.

The surface of the clear water in the large wooden barrel became more and more messy, and finally it rippled, and by this time, the battle flag of the Clay clan could already be seen fluttering in the wind to the west of the camp. Today's weather is quite clear, the sun is rising from the east, it is still morning, the Klay army came from the west, just in time to meet the dazzling sun, I did not expect that the chief Abdul did not wait for noon to directly wave the army to kill.

At this time, the expeditionary force has already been prepared, and the entire expeditionary force camp has been dug out of a trench 5 meters wide and 3 meters deep overnight, and the soil of the trench has been piled up into a solid bunker on the inside of the trench, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force will rely on this one-meter-high bunker to fight the enemy, and the soldiers of the Clay tribe must jump over the 5-meter-wide trench with their own flesh and blood, and then crash into the steel shield wall composed of countless spears with their own flesh and blood.

Of course, on the side of the expeditionary force camp, Orlando still deliberately left 2 exits without digging trenches, and all the large repulsion horses were placed here to prevent the Clay cavalry from charging here. Orlando's Royal Knights, numbering only 5,000 men and well-trained, could quickly pass through here in a dense formation, while the Clay cavalry would taste the wrath of Thomas's crossbow shooters if they stormed it in a dense formation.

The 450,000 soldiers of the Clay tribe lined up several kilometers away from the expeditionary force camp without any scruples, and they dispersed the ranks without even releasing the alert troops. Chief Abdul was in charge of the central army, and the most elite troops of the Klee tribe, such as "White Frost" and "Emerald Feather", were placed here, while other real warriors with military training were placed on the right flank, and the herdsmen who had gathered together with a summoning order were all placed on the left flank.

―――――――― dividing line―――――――――― I would like to explain it here, because I am going on a business trip and may be out for 7 or 8 days. At present, I don't have many manuscripts on hand, so in order to ensure that this book is updated normally every day, I have to temporarily change it back to one update per day. 17k has a regular update function, and I will use this function to compile all the manuscripts to be sent in the next 7 or 8 days before departure, so that even if I am not in front of the computer, I can still update it daily. When I come back, I will change it back to 2 or even 3 more per day, please forgive me.
