The dark Thorn Mountain was like a giant beast crouching in the southwest of Silverymoon City.
The terrain here wasn't high, and the thorns on the mountain made it difficult to travel. Therefore, very few half-elf hunters would come here to hunt.
This also caused the area around Bramble Mountain to be deserted and become a paradise for wild animals.
But today, the tranquility of Thorn Mountain was suddenly broken.
Thud thud thud —
The sound of horse hooves startled countless birds and beasts in the forest.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A few sharp arrows flew past. They didn't hit anyone, but a passing elk was caught in the crossfire.
The two sides in this chase were black and white. The black side was naturally the Black Cavalry, while the white side was the Sky Horse Army of the East.
The black side only had one person, while the white side had slightly more people, about thirty riders. From the style of their uniforms, they should be sentries.
This was actually a little strange.
Because of the battle between the two armies, the sentinel cavalry would normally not go all out to pursue and attack.
First of all, the sentries' main task was to bring back information, not the enemy's head.
Moreover, if they gave chase too deep, they could easily be led into the enemy's encirclement. That would be suicide.
However, the Sky Horse Legion's sentinel cavalry squad was chasing after the Black Guard's sentinel cavalry.
They were so desperate because they found out that this was a 'big fish' — Colin Viscount Angley!
The sentries of the Sky Horse Army didn't understand why the respected Northern Frontier Viscounts would personally come out to investigate. But after seeing Colin's face, which was exactly the same as the one in the portrait, they threw away all their worries and focused on getting first place in this battle.
The mountain path was difficult, and there were thorns in the way. Both sides didn't push their speed to the limit.
But after a while, they were almost halfway up the mountain.
There was some foam at the horse's mouth, and it looked like it could collapse at any time.
Colin reached out to touch the horse's neck, and found that the warhorse under him was sweating profusely. It was obviously going to die soon.
Half-elf warhorses really couldn't compare to the good horses of the Northern Frontier.
Colin secretly ridiculed.
At this moment, the warhorse under him suddenly staggered and rolled on the ground. The crisp sound of bones breaking was exceptionally ear-piercing.
Colin, who was on the horse, was also thrown out, but he had already adjusted his posture in the air. When he landed, he rolled forward to reduce the impact, and then jumped up vigorously.
"Quick, catch him!"
The pursuing sentries of the Eastern Region immediately rushed forward as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Colin calmly pulled out the [Blade of Judgement] from his waist and faced the dozen or so fast horses that were charging at him. He assumed a fighting posture.
Boom!
There was a loud bang.
[Judgement Blade] burned with red flames, and a blinding golden holy light burst out.
What followed was blood splattering everywhere, as if it was raining blood.
As for the cavalryman who was charging towards Colin, he was split in half along with his horse!
The blood and golden light gradually dissipated, and Colin's figure gradually appeared. At this time, he was already covered in blood, looking like a devil who had crawled out of hell.
Colin licked the blood on his face and was about to taunt the other side when he saw another cavalryman charging at him from the side.
Boom!
The [Blade of Judgement] turned into a red light and split the cavalryman in half.
However, there was still a third, a fourth, a fifth …
These sentries of the Eastern Region seemed to have gone crazy. They rushed towards Colin one after another, like moths to a flame.
After slaughtering the fifteenth cavalryman, Colin saw the sixteenth cavalryman rushing towards him. Finally, his face changed.
The holy light emitted from the other side showed that the sixteenth cavalryman was a knight.
At this time, Colin's arms were already numb from the previous crazy impact. He no longer dared to take the hit head-on. He quickly rolled on the ground to avoid the impact of the other side.
At this time, he finally understood why a high-grade knight couldn't escape death when surrounded by an army.
Just when Colin was thinking about whether to transform or not, the sound of hooves was heard again from the forest.
Soon, more than a dozen black-armored cavalrymen appeared on the battlefield.
"Protect Viscount Angley!"
Seeing this, the sentries of the Eastern Region knew that they would not be able to catch this big fish today. They immediately turned their horses around and fled down the mountain.
"Sir Viscounts, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Colin put away his sword and shouted to the cavalrymen who tried to chase, "Don't chase, let them escape."
"Yes."
"Sir, a large number of Eastern Region troops have gathered at the foot of the mountain. We have been surrounded. Do you want to break out immediately?"
Colin touched the blood on his face and shook his head: "No, it's not time yet."
"Yes."
Colin looked at the other side's young but determined face and suddenly asked: "What's wrong? Are you afraid? "
The sentries of the Black Cavalry decisively shook their head: "Sir, the Black Cavalry is never afraid of battle!"
Colin raised his eyebrows: "Even if it's a fight to the death, you're not afraid?"
"Not afraid!"
The young sentries of the Black Cavalry straightened their chest with a natural look.
Colin stared at the other side's eyes and then looked around. He found that there was no trace of fear in the eyes of the Black Cavalry soldiers.
His mood suddenly became very complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "You will really die in this battle."
Bang!
The sentries of the Black Cavalry heavily patted their chest armor and shouted: "As long as we can take revenge for the Shadow Canyon, we will die without regrets!"
"Die without regrets!"
"Die without regrets!"
… …
Looking at the impassioned faces in front of him, Colin suddenly felt something surging in his heart.
Perhaps this was the real reason why the Black Guards were undefeatable and invincible.
Colin took a deep breath and solemnly clasped his right hand on his chest. He saluted the crowd and loudly said:
"I promise you that I will fight with you until the last moment!" Moreover, this army of the Eastern Region will be destroyed in the Half-Elven Kingdom! "
— — —
At the foot of Thorn Mountain, in the Sky Horse Legion's camp.
A knight quickly walked into the temporary command post and hurriedly saluted: "Sir Marquis, I have found Viscount Angley's traces in Thorn Mountain!"
Marquis Vincent's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I have fought with him before."
"Good!" Marquis Vincent excitedly slammed the table, stood up, and walked back and forth in the tent.
Combining the information of the other sentries, there was indeed an army of more than 8,000 hidden in Thorn Mountain. Now that he had found traces of Colin, Marquis Vincent could basically confirm that —
The remnants of the Black Cavalry were hiding in this mountain.
"Haha, this Colin Angley is really stupid. He actually hid his army in such a dangerous place!
Moreover, he lacks the courage to make a decision. If he had decisively led his army out earlier, perhaps some of them could have escaped. Unfortunately, the net is already set. He can't escape even if he wants to! "
After a while, he stood still and ordered:
"Pass down my orders. Defend the foot of the mountain. Don't let any of the Black Cavalry escape.
Also, have the soldiers cut down trees and collect weeds. Tomorrow morning, I will burn down this mountain! "
"Yes!"
