After leaving Storm City, the army did not advance quickly. It only slowly advanced towards the south of Mo De\'s territory. From time to time, one or two riders would return from afar, and the same number of Knight would leave the group. They were scouts and sentinels, responsible for scouting and guarding the road. After losing two squads in a row, Legg became cautious. He was even worried that the lone cavalry would be attacked, so he used the rank ten Knight in this role.
Their strength had reached the standards of the world, and they were experienced. They were not comparable to the shrinking Raging Thunder Knight. Even if these Knight were attacked, they would still be able to find a way to escape. Moreover, more than two Knight riders were sent out every time. The distance between them was limited, and if there was an unexpected situation, they could take care of each other.
Under this arrangement, the army did not encounter a single attack from dawn to three in the afternoon.
In the meantime, they passed by a small town that had been attacked last night. Legg remained silent in front of the charred barracks for a moment before continuing on his journey. According to the information brought back by the Knight, after attacking two small towns last night, the bandits were moving south of the territory. It was a wilderness, with scattered hills and peaks scattered all over the place. Further forward, it was the area of the Bloodstone Wasteland.
From this, Legg deduced that the bandits were preparing to retreat into the Bloodstone Wasteland. Once they left Storm City\'s territory, it would be difficult to find them again. Given Mo De\'s current bad mood, if he couldn\'t catch this bandit, most of the baron\'s anger would be vented on him. Therefore, Legg decided that no matter what, he had to kill that bandit in his territory.
At this point, he no longer cared if this troop was ordered by Dick\'s father.
Two more riders came back, and they brought back reliable information. A kilometer ahead, the bandits that were resting had already been confirmed to have around twenty people. Although the number of people was smaller than the information he had, Legg did not intend to let them go. However, to be careful, he only brought fifty cavalry out first. The remaining thirty cavalry advanced with the infantry regiment and acted as a supplement to the second echelon.
However, Legg did not think that he would need to use the strength of the follow-up army to deal with about twenty bandits. After all, the people he brought with him had 15 Knight with standard strength!
The fifty cavalrymen galloped madly, their iron hooves kicking up a huge cloud of dust. In the flatter terrain of the south, not to mention about a kilometer away, even if they were further away, they could still see it clearly.
Allen rode on the horse and saw everything. He looked back and saw Regis and twenty warriors of the King Of Mountains by his side. The other King Of Mountains warriors and Dark Blade were under Belmond's command and had already sneaked away. Allen smiled and said, "Remember, Storm City has already sent out their main force this time. No matter how good we are at fighting, it's impossible for us to bite this hard bone. So, just put on a show and then run. Do you remember the route I planned? "
The soldiers nodded and replied, "Understood."
"Then let's play with them."
When Legg arrived, he saw the other party preparing to evacuate from afar. How could he let go of such an opportunity? He immediately urged his horse forward. The other party reacted quickly. As soon as they saw the cavalry galloping over, they knew that it would be difficult to get rid of them and immediately planned to retreat. The King Of Mountains warriors disguised as bandits immediately picked up their guns and fired. Legg smiled and gestured for the cavalry to counterattack to cover their own people.
The Knight in charge of charging had a steel shield in front of him. The projectiles fired by the guns could not penetrate this three-centimeter-thick shield.
After a torrential rain of knocking sounds, the cavalry quickly closed the distance between the two sides. Just as the two sides were about to collide. The warriors of the King Of Mountains roared loudly, threw away their rifles, and used their shields and warhammers to meet them. They rolled on the ground, their warhammers not smashing at the cavalry, but at the warhorses. The scalps of the cavalry on the horse exploded. The King Of Mountains warriors rolled over, their warhammers sweeping out a black shadow and hitting the horse's leg. Immediately, the sound of bones breaking could be heard from the field.
The horse's legs were broken, and the warhorses fell to the ground one after another. The well-trained Knight bounced up and landed before falling off his horse. He then drew his sword and charged towards the King Of Mountains warriors. Under Allen's command, the King Of Mountains formed a tight line of defense. The two of them cooperated with each other and managed to block the knight's attack.
Seeing this, Legg shouted and charged. He and the cavalry in charge of firepower support launched a second wave of attacks. Just as they sprinted for a short distance, a dark red area suddenly appeared on the ground in front of them. The Origin Energy there surged, almost as if there was magma boiling underground. Legg shouted, "Be careful, there's a magician!"
Hearing his warning, Allen chuckled and activated the ability of the Raging Flames Earth Charge. Three consecutive pillars of fire were separated by about a meter, forming a dense area of impact. Legg and the others were charging forward, unable to stop their horse steps at all. They could only brace themselves and crash into the pillar of fire that soared into the sky. Legg was fine. His level 15 strength only caused his armor to turn black, his head to burn, and his body to be slightly burned. As for the high temperature and impact of the flames, they were offset by his own Origin Energy.
However, the cavalry behind him was not so good.
In just a burst of flames, at least half of the cavalry had been knocked off their horses. The other warhorses that could charge through the pillar of fire also fell to the ground with mournful cries. The Knight rolled across the ground with his hot armor. When they got up, they were greeted by Regis's lightning-like high sword strike.
Legg's warhorse was also injured and fell to the ground. However, Guild Leader Knight welcomed Allen's continuous saber momentum that was like a black tide of rage. Qianjun's blade was dyed red, and the surrounding air became incomparably dry and impatient. Every time Allen slashed down, he would definitely roll up a fierce killing intent, causing Legg's heart to turn cold. He was now certain that these people were not Dick's bandits at all.
Even Dick himself wasn't as powerful as this silver youth in front of him, so how could he order such a powerful subordinate around?
However, there was no time for him to think about it. Legg drew his sword and blocked it. The swords collided and sparks splashed everywhere. The tremendous force carried by the pitch-black heavy saber shocked Legg's arm to the point that it was numb. Dang, dang, dang. Allen's saber was heavier than the last. The stormy saber momentum left Legg with only the ability to defend, and there was no hope of counterattacking.
With another slash, Allen let out a clear howl and dragged his saber back. Just as Legg was about to chase after him, he saw the other party's black saber pull horizontally, and an indeterminate orange light immediately shot towards him. The light split the world in Legg's eyes into two, and Guild Leader Knight's hair stood on end. That was an extremely dangerous signal. Legg's Origin Energy exploded as he slashed down vertically with his sword. The sword light and flames that he dragged out formed a complete cross.
As the two of them collided with each other, an intense explosion occurred. Legg took a few steps back as the flames rolled. He gasped for breath as he looked at the rest of the battlefield. The King Of Mountains warriors had already retreated upon hearing the sound. Two of the Raging Thunder Knight's men had been smashed down. The others wanted to chase after him, but they were stopped by Legg.
There weren't many of them, but they were very troublesome. Although Legg didn't want to admit it, the truth was that if he chased after them, he would only be eaten by the other party using guerrilla tactics.
However, Legg didn't know that while they were fighting Allen, the army behind them was also attacked.
The attack came suddenly. The Dark Blade led by Belmore and some of the King Of Mountains warriors were cleverly camouflaged and ambushed near the path of the army. After the cavalry in front of them passed by, Belmore and the others attacked violently. They chose the middle section of the team and decisively retreated after a fierce charge. This caused the cavalry who heard the shouts of killing to turn around and rush over could only helplessly watch as they quickly disappeared into the nearby forest. In this attack, more than twenty infantry were killed.
Although the results of the battle were not great, it left a lingering shadow in the hearts of the soldiers.
Legg, who had returned with Crippled Feather, didn't even have the strength to be angry after hearing the soldier's report. In the evening, the army set up camp to rest. Legg still sent out scouts, and at sunset, cavalry continued to return, bringing the bandits to meet up in the wilderness ten kilometers away and setting up camp to rest.
"It's actually only ten kilometers?" Legg snorted. The other party's actions clearly showed that he didn't put his army in his eyes.
This bright slap in the face made Legg's cheeks hot. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to deliberately mislead the army. He put on the illusion that the army was camping here, but in fact, he left the camp with a group of infantry and all the Raging Thunder Knight, preparing to raid the bandit camp ten kilometers away.
When he left the barracks, Legg suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his head and saw a grass-green snake coiled on a roadstone not far away, staring at him with a faint gaze. Legg's eyes suddenly lit up, and killing intent burst forth. The snake seemed to be frightened and immediately swam down the stone and hid in the darkness.
Legg let out a breath of anger and felt a little better in his chest. He then commanded the team to leave.
The night was vast, and the dark clouds in the starry sky covered the moonlight. It was a good opportunity for a sneak attack. After Legg led the team forward for a few miles, all the Knight dismounted and walked on foot to avoid the sound of horse hooves from alerting the bandits. From afar, he could see the flames of the other party's camp. Two bandits on duty were guarding a campfire, as if they were chatting about something, occasionally letting out suppressed laughter.
Legg gestured for action, and the team immediately spread out like a large net. Legg was just about to close the net when all the soldiers were in position. The two bandits seemed to have sensed something and suddenly jumped up from the ground. Then, they rushed towards the gap in the encirclement net. By the time Legg realized that something was wrong and shouted for the soldiers to rush forward, the two bandits had already disappeared into the night.
Only then did Legg realize that the camp was very quiet, and there wasn't even a single warhorse. When he rushed into the tent, he found that there was no one inside. His expression immediately changed and he shouted, "Go back to the camp!"
When they returned to the camp, corpses were brought out one by one. Most of the dead were Raging Thunder Knight, and the attack occurred not long after Legg and the others left. The bandits appeared from the night and attacked the camp fiercely. Their goal was clear, and almost all of them were heading towards the Raging Thunder Knight. In the soldier's description, the silver youth was mentioned more than once. It was because at least five of the corpses on the ground were killed by that youth, so it left a deep impression on the soldiers.
After listening to the report, Legg felt that the gods had abandoned him, and the God of Misfortune was lingering by his side. Otherwise, how could he have fallen into someone else's trap twice in a row?
