Words:1971Update:22/06/26 13:09:23
As orders were given out one after another, all the soldiers in Burning Dawn's camp started to prepare themselves in an orderly manner.
The soldiers weren't worried about war, neither were they afraid of it.
When they joined Burning Dawn, they were already mentally prepared for the upcoming battle. They even had a faint anticipation for the upcoming battle.
Of course, that included the new recruits who had been on the battlefield once or twice.
As for the real veterans, they started to seize the time to rest and recharge themselves.
They knew once the war started, the most painful thing that could cost them their lives would be: exhaustion.
Continuous battles and a few days of sleepless nights were enough to make a strong will and agile veteran lose his mind and slow down his reaction.
During this period of time, a random arrow would be lethal.
However, the riders who were about to head out to investigate and harass Golden City weren't in the same category.
They were more concerned about their comrades, the war horses.
Bean cakes mixed with egg white were passed from their hands to the warhorses one by one.
The mutters from their mouths made the horses stomp their hooves repeatedly.
Every rider had their own set of horse taming skills. They were different from farmers and hunters, they were more outstanding but they shared the same goal.
Everything was to expel the fear from the horses and make them more obedient.
However, a loud roar caused the cavalrymen's efforts to go down the drain.
"No!
I strongly disagree! "
Walloon refuted loudly when he heard Kieran's request for a fight.
Walloon shook his head repeatedly, his beard fluttering as he stood in front of Kieran.
His firm gaze seemed to be telling Kieran not to leave.
"This is an order."
Kieran said straightforwardly. He knew very well how to convince someone like Walloon.
A soldier's duty was to follow orders.
Walloon was no exception.
"But …"
"Follow orders!"
"Yes, sir!"
Walloon wanted to say something but when he heard Kieran's shout, he instinctively stood straight and saluted. At the same time, Kieran turned around and walked towards the camp gate.
He didn't walk on the right path and jumped down just like that.
Kieran's figure swiftly vanished from everyone's sight.
Such a move naturally caused a discussion among the soldiers.
Walloon was worried that something bad might happen, so he quickly spilled out what Kieran wanted to do. Immediately, it caused a huge uproar in Burning Dawn's campsite.
"What?"
"One man against Golden City?!"
"Has the Lord gone mad?"
"I don't know if he's crazy or not … but this is the kind of person I want to follow, not a bunch of cowards like before!"
"En!"
"What are you doing?"
"I've already said that this is the person I want to follow. My Lord has already personally led the charge, so how can a follower like me just watch from the sidelines?"
…
Not just the ordinary soldiers, but the officers were even more shocked.
A middle-aged man wearing leather armor with a long sword hanging on his waist and a spear in his hand walked out of the crowd while laughing.
"All cavalry, get ready!"
"Three minutes later, let us follow in the footsteps of our lord!"
With a command, all the cavalrymen who were still discussing immediately returned to their original positions and began their final inspection.
"Luzarc, don't go crazy!"
"My Lord's matter has left me in a mess and now you're adding more trouble!"
"We don't know what's going on right now, we should pull back our forces and defend!"
Walloon shouted again when he saw his comrade acting on his own.
"I am of the same rank as you, what right do you have to order me around?
Besides, have you ever heard of cavalry defending a city? "
"As for the situation?
Once you understand the situation here, everything will be over! "
"I'll act according to the situation, I'll make those bastards pay for it!"
Luzarc rolled his eyes and didn't even care about Walloon's shouts.
What's the use of shouting?
Luzarc's voice was even louder!
After jumping up his horse, Luzarc shouted with a voice that sounded like a roar, "The mission of defending the city will be handed over to you all! We, the riders, will be in charge! "
"Cavalry is meant to charge! Charge! Charge again! "
"Victory!"
"Victory! Victory! Victory! "
…
A single shout of "Victory" was received by all the riders in unison.
The other soldiers followed suit as well.
It was a goal and also a wish.
The shouts were heard from the mountains along with the wind and flew up to the clouds.
The riders split up into batches and went down from the main camp. They gathered in the wilderness and galloped away.
Dust flew up high in the sky as they galloped away.
Walloon who was standing on top of the city walls was cursing loudly. He was arranging the matters of defending the city while watching the riders go further away.
When the riders were about to disappear, he muttered to himself, "Damn it, be careful, those bastards from Golden City aren't easy to deal with."
The most direct clash of emotions would always be the strongest.
That was how comrade-in-arms felt.
"Did that bastard shout at me again?
Does he really think I don't dare to fight back? "
Walloon turned around and ran back to Luzarc's room while cursing again.
He knew that bastard had a good collection.
Now, it all belonged to him.
'Don't think I shouted at you for nothing!'
Walloon grunted angrily.
…
The shouts of victory sounded.
Aisphany came back to her senses after being stunned.
When she understood what had happened, she was stunned once more.
"He really went?"
"Alone?"
"No way, that bastard must be hiding somewhere, waiting for the riders to arrive …"
Aisphany muttered to herself and tried to analyze what Kieran would do.
But as she spoke, she couldn't continue anymore.
Aisphany knew Kieran wasn't that kind of person.
Since he left, he must be going to battle.
"One against ten thousand … Is he stupid?!"
Aisphany clenched her teeth and quickly packed up her belongings. She left the camp in a blink of an eye and followed the riders.
Evie Dan and Sharly who left the camp at the same time returned to the camp almost at the same time.
Both of them were smiling, waiting for Kieran's commendation.
Once they thought about the tender words that Kieran would say to them, they couldn't help but hasten their steps.
Then …
"What?"
"He left!"
"He wants to fight the enemies of Golden City alone?"
The female hunter and the werewolf lady who got the information from Walloon looked at each other in disbelief. Both of them instinctively searched for Aisphany's figure.
When they realized Aisphany was nowhere to be found and the guards confirmed that Aisphany must have gone after Kieran, the female hunter was infuriated. Aisphany's claws couldn't help but pop out again.
"That damn fox!
"This is all part of her scheme!"
