Lord of War

Under the cover of night, a cavalry is galloping.

Although the scale of the cavalry is not large, it is not small either. There are still nearly a thousand cavalry. This dark area is like another thick ink splashed in the night environment, with an extremely depressing atmosphere, like the cold air of the abyss tearing apart the space.

The galloping speed of the cavalry was not slow, but there was no thunderous bang.

It was as quiet as a ghost army.

If you look carefully, you can find that the horseshoes of the war horses are covered with a layer of white canvas, and there is a material that can absorb sound sources hidden inside. However, such small props generally used as night raid cavalry troops can only reduce the noise of the cavalry when the cavalry is running. Once the scale exceeds 300, although there will be no thunder and vibration, the earthquake-like ground vibration and Billowing smoke and dust is also unavoidable.

But all of this, for this cavalry unit, there is no sign at all.

Not to mention the vibration of the ground when the cavalry galloped, even the smoke and dust did not produce a large-scale envelope. As for the sound, it was even more subtle, and it was difficult to detect it as long as it was a hundred meters away.

Obviously, what this cavalry unit wrapped on the hooves of the horses was a brand new special material.

At least, it had never been spotted in any previous campaign.

The leader of the cavalry unit was a rider wearing a dark black cloak.

The cloak covered his whole body tightly, and the brim of the hood was also very low, making it impossible to see his identity at all. The only thing that can be seen is the brilliance that can be seen from the slightly lifted cloak when the wind blows occasionally.

Soon, the cavalry unit came to a hilly field under the leadership of the leading rider.

Saw the arrival of this large force. Several cavalrymen who had been waiting for a long time in this hilly field immediately approached with their horses.

Here are fifteen cavalrymen.

Generally, in a standard cruise formation, a reconnaissance team consists of ten to twenty riders, and only those with stronger strength are allowed to ride alone. The three standard cruise formations are a standard formation, and they will keep a certain distance from each other, so that they can support each other in case of special circumstances.

So there are fifteen cavalrymen waiting here. This is obviously the vanguard reconnaissance team sent by this large cavalry force.

"grown ups.

"After the cavalry approached, one of them stepped forward to greet the rider wearing a dark black cloak.

"What about the others?" the rider asked.

Listening to the voice, it was a female voice. And when she reached out to lift off the cloak, she also revealed the face under the hood—it wasn't particularly delicate, but the facial features were well coordinated. A very handsome face. She has short flaxen-colored hair, which was originally shoulder-length, but perhaps out of combat considerations, she cut it short, and you can still see the jagged hair behind her head. neat broken hair.

this woman. Naturally, it is the strongest under Sean's command except for Cefanio.

Rena.

And the troop following her was naturally the 1st Cavalry Regiment led by Panda.

at this time. The "others" that Reina asked obviously refers to the other two teams in the reconnaissance formation.

Rina is on the leading talent. Naturally, she was not as good as Altdorf, Stalin, and Knock, so although she was one of the eight generals of Panda, there was still a very obvious gap between her and the others. Of course, one of the eight generals was actually comparable to her, but An Nuo was a barbarian from the North, and this race was a group of guys who were not afraid of death. No matter how large the scale is, there will be no mismanagement, so this is actually a force that needs the least worry.

However, although he is still very clear about his own position. She knew that she was not very suitable for being a commander. So she didn't let the size of her cavalry expand, and it has always maintained the level of a thousand people. And it is precisely because she clearly understands her own deficiencies that Reina understands the principle of "talking less and doing more". implement.

Just like sneaking into the Berbice Territory secretly this time, Reina divided her 100 personal guards into two reconnaissance formations and set off first, secretly inquiring about all the situation in the Berbice Territory and the movement of the garrison along the way. After all, there are nearly a thousand people following her, so she must choose roads far away from the town along the way, and sometimes because the terrain is not concealed enough to rest, she must continue to drive day and night.

This hill was the first meeting point chosen by Reina.

And here, in fact, it is already considered the deep belly of Berbice. At this time, it has been five nights and four days since she set off from the Iron Wing Army Town in Panda. A cavalry force has reached a critical point.

"The signal has been sent, and we are on our way back to the team." The cavalry who was questioned said.

He is a young man, about the same age as Sean, and he is naturally several years younger than Rina. It's just that among the people present, no one would underestimate this ordinary-looking blond young man, not only because of his status, but also because of his strength.

He has been following Rina for almost a year. He has been following Rina since she was still in charge of investigating the intelligence work of the Dailand. So naturally, he followed Reina through several life-and-death battles, especially the charge in the wild land. After the last battle, he had a big hole in his body. If it wasn't for Xuefanio's timely appearance, his fate would have ended there.

But this experience of hovering on the edge of life and death is also of great benefit to him.

After several battles to the death, the strength of this young man named Dwight has also reached the peak of the upper silver, and he is a real powerhouse who is only a little bit close to becoming the lower gold. But on a certain day, he had a whim to gather all these people who survived the battle with Rena to form the personal guard team belonging to Rena. Everyone in this group of people is almost at the upper silver level, and even if they don't, they are at the lower peak of silver.

They are very clear. Their own talents and conditions in all aspects are actually not very good, otherwise they would not choose to become mercenaries or even soldiers today. People with real strength, talent, and talent will either become commanders and generals like William and Rena, or they will simply be valued by Sean like Bannock, and they will choose to become mercenaries or soldiers like them. They are all mediocre people.

And, most importantly.

Experts and strong men like them who joined the army and grew up, although their fighting style was fierce and killed in one blow, but when facing a real expert and strong man like Rui Na, it was difficult for them to get any benefits. At least as far as Rina is concerned today. She can fight several high-ranking gold powerhouses of the same level of strength by herself. If it is a strong man from a military background with mediocre qualifications like Dwight, she can even easily deal with a dozen of them.

This is the gap.

So Dwight is not stupid, he knows as long as he closely follows Rina. In the future, he may not be able to become a strong person like Rena who is deeply relied on by Sean, but at least he will be valued by the commander William. No matter how bad it is. As long as Reina doesn't fall down for a day. Then he doesn't need to worry about his future, or even worry about whether he won't be needed.

And their cavalry team formed by all high-ranking silver masters can already be regarded as the strongest force in the entire territory. Even if there were only a hundred people, their combat effectiveness was much stronger than the Thunder Army and the guard company next to Clover. Only these one hundred people are enough to defeat any third-tier army with a size of less than one thousand people head-on.

Dwight called their personal guard the Scarlet Knights.

Reina did not object to this. She even confirmed the official knighthood of all members of the Scarlet Knights, thus being in the 1st Cavalry. It is an extremely honorable thing to be a member of the Scarlet Knights, which only belongs to Reina's personal guard. It's just that if you have honor, you also have responsibilities. The most difficult task that any First Cavalry Regiment needs to face, such as the current reconnaissance work that goes deep into the enemy's rear, it is a matter of course for Reina to give them this group of extremely powerful combat power. troops.

It's a kind of trust.

After many days of marching, the cavalry unit has become accustomed to resting on the horse, so in this quiet night, none of the cavalry dismounted. They all sat on the saddle lying on their horses. Rest on your back. As the members of the other Scarlet Knights gradually returned to the team, the information they brought gradually became more complete and detailed.

In the past four days, there have been two large-scale troop mobilizations in Berbest.

The first time was to gather to the south, and the second time was to press into Panda.

From this point of view, it can be seen that the commander in charge of the 30,000 garrison in Berbice Territory knows how to fight better than the one in Chirav Territory.

The troops assembled to the south were two noble private soldiers, with a total strength of about 15,000. They will directly send reinforcements to the garrison located in the valley and hills by returning to the valley and hills, so as to completely defeat Altdorf who is attacking the Kilaf Territory at this time on the frontal battlefield. And this army had officially passed through the territory of Chirav Territory two days ago. If there is no accident, it should have had a tough battle with Stalin's 1st Infantry Regiment yesterday afternoon.

At this time, because Reina also had an important strategic goal, the knights of the Scarlet Knights did not dare to approach rashly to inquire about the situation in the Kiraf Territory. But they all knew very well that the First Infantry Regiment only had a size of 4,000 people, and it was completely conceivable that they would be under an attack of 15,000 people. If Rui Na attacked them from behind at this time, then it should be possible to cooperate with Stalin to eat all the fifteen thousand people.

Even if there is no way to eat it, at least it can cause heavy losses and save the First Infantry Regiment.

But Rui Na was unable to issue such a combat order.

She couldn't ruin William's rearranged battle situation.

Because it just makes other people's sacrifices meaningless.

The only thing she can do is to complete the strategic goals assigned to her by William as quickly as possible, so maybe there is still time to go back to support Stalin.

However, if it was a disaster for Stalin to face 15,000 people, then there is good news in this war.

That is another private army of Berbice nobles that is pressing into the Panda Territory.

This is an army of 10,000 people.

According to the information, if there is no accident, they will officially enter the territory of Panda Territory at noon tomorrow. And then the marching route of this enemy army. I'm afraid they will know what they will do without even thinking about it - definitely directly capture the original Panda Town and today's Steel Wings Base, and build a strong defense here. And next, the 40,000 coalition forces that must have been formed by the confluence of the Berbice Territory and the Chirav Territory directly took control of the Gapland Rift after solving the three armies of Altdorf, Stalin, and Knock.

Presumably, this should be the strategic policy planned by the commander named Hela Nugus.

However, Reina doesn't need to think about this kind of competition for strategy and wisdom. The only thing she knows is that Stalin only needs to face 15,000 people, not the three that they planned for the worst at the beginning. million people. In this way, it is impossible to completely break through Stalin's defense line in one day, even if Stalin really can't defend Huigu Hills in the end. But at least it delayed Altdorf long enough.

Of course, another piece of news that Reina needs to know is that there are only 5,000 people left in Berbice Territory.

The size of 5,000 people is definitely a very difficult problem for other troops with a size of only 1,000 people. But for Reina and her First Cavalry Regiment. This is not a problem at all. Although there will be losses, and they are probably not small. Moreover, it is not realistic to wipe out these 5,000 people. However, it is not a problem to defeat this army head-on, or even capture the opponent's commander alive, thereby blocking the passage between Berbice and Dabion.

Once the Berbice Territory is completely sealed off, the only retreat for the enemy is the Chirav Territory, and as long as Annuo and his steel wings arrive at that time. By going around the Fallen Flower Valley in the Berbice Territory to the rear of the Chirav Territory, the 70,000 Dabion troops trapped in these two territories would no longer be able to escape.

Therefore, Reina did not dare to reinforce Stalin.

She had no choice but to move on.

Because, it is about three kilometers away in front of this hilly field. It was the location of the last 5,000 garrisons of Berbice.

Everyone dismounted and removed the canvas and special materials wrapped around the horse's hooves. Then everyone took out the dry rations that had been prepared and began to eat silently. At the same time, they did not forget to feed the horses with the high-quality soybean rations that had been prepared and rinse the mouths and noses for the horses. At the same time, they took off the saddles and gently Pat the horse's back to allow the horse to relax properly, while the cavalry used the saddle as a pillow and began to rest on the spot.

No rest, just Rena and Dwight.

The head of the Scarlet Knights, deputy head of the 1st Cavalry, and Reina's most trusted lieutenant stood by Rena's side.

"After this battle, our four troops will not be involved in the next battle." Reina said softly.

Dwight was silent.

After this battle, the four units of the First Infantry Regiment, the Second Infantry Regiment, the Infantry Cavalry Regiment, and the First Cavalry Regiment will definitely be severely disabled, so even if there is another war in the future, they will definitely not be there. It's over. It's just that as the captain of Reina's personal guard, Dwight knows that it's just their four troops that are fine. At that time, Reina was truly liberated.

After all, a strong man who is about to become a strong man in the sanctuary can definitely play an extremely powerful role in the next war.

So as long as Sean is a normal person, then it is impossible for him to let Reina do nothing in the ensuing war.

Dwight really wants to continue to follow Rina, but there are some things that he can't have if he wants to. The fighting power of the Scarlet Knights is indeed tyrannical. In a frontal battle, they can even defeat Alfred's guard, the Thunder Lion, but so what? If the Lion of Thunder fought against the First Cavalry Regiment, it would be their First Cavalry Regiment who would be defeated in the end, because their number was too small.

Rui Na is not good at leading the army, this is her fatal injury.

It is precisely because of this that Dwight will work very hard to learn a lot of knowledge about the military. And these efforts, for him, for Reina, and even for the entire First Cavalry Regiment, are very significant. The secret infiltration operation this time and the refusal to support Stalin are all his proposals, not to mention the previous formation. The Scarlet Knights and the many feats of turning the tide when Rina misdirected.

It can be said. Dwight's current reputation in the 1st Cavalry Regiment is second only to Rena.

"Before you formed the Scarlet Knights, I didn't stop it because I wanted to see how talented you are. I am very relieved because I have seen that your command ability is better than mine, and your leadership ability is no better than Altdorf. How inferior you are, you are naturally suitable to be a general, but being a deputy commander is really wronged you." Ruina said softly, "I have already proposed to Lord William and Lord Xiao En, if there is no accident, You should be promoted after this battle."

"My lord!" Dwight was slightly taken aback. It was only then that I realized, "I just want to continue to follow behind you and become your sharp sword!"

"You're wrong." Rena shook her head, "You should be loyal to Lord Sean, not me....I am just a sharp sword in Lord Sean's hand. I don't want to hear from you in the future. Saying such words can be characterized as treason."

Dwight nodded: "Yes, my lord."

"Actually, the matter of forming a second cavalry unit has already been put on the agenda. After all, as the only cavalry unit in the territory, the size cannot always be only a thousand people." Hearing what Dwight said, Rui Na's tone softened a little, "But Lord William and Lord Sean know that I have some wishes, so they have always let me serve as the commander of this cavalry regiment. But I know. My ability is very limited, and I can fight alone. It’s what I’m best at, and I’m really not very good at commanding things like this, so you follow me. The death rate is too high. So I hope you all can have a better future.”

Dwight was silent for a moment.

"In fact, I'm still very happy. Because whether it's you, Altdorf, or Stalin, they all walked out of my command, and even Noke, the guy who didn't like Lord Sean at the beginning, was also in my command. I have severely tossed under my command...…If Lord William said, the four of you should all be my students, and I am very proud of being able to teach four such outstanding students."

After hearing Reina's words, Dwight's unsmiling face finally pulled a slight smile.

"It's almost dawn, you go to rest." Rena looked up at the sky, and then said, "We will set off after dawn, the enemy is only three kilometers away from us, this battle we not only want to win a beautiful , and unnecessary casualties must be reduced as much as possible!"

"yes!"

Dwight nodded heavily.

When the sky turned white, all the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Regiment woke up. All of them didn't say anything, just picked up the saddle silently and tied it to the horse, washed briefly, and then fed the horse, and then they got on the horse and quickly formed a square formation.

At the front of the phalanx is Rena.

She has already taken off the cloak on her body, and the brilliance of the angel's armor has completely bloomed.

Dwight is one horse behind Rena's left.

The deputy head's face became serious again, perhaps because of Rui Na's influence, the long spear in his hand was also crimson, and even the light armor on his body was red, and at this time the long spear in his hand was red. The tip has long been polished.

After the deputy head, there were ninety-nine riders also wearing red light armor and holding red spears.

They are members of the Scarlet Knights.

After that, there were 900 cavalrymen from the 1st Cavalry Regiment wearing black light armor.

In the 1st Cavalry, only members of the Order of the Scarlet may use red paint.

A chilling aura condensed on this cavalry regiment.

As Rina lightly kicked the side of the horse, the old horse that had been with Rina for a long time also started to walk lightly with a tacit understanding. Then, the entire cavalry regiment also began to move slowly.

This time, they didn't wrap those special materials around the horse's hoof, so the air began to reverberate with the sound of the horse's hoof hitting the ground.

And this thumping sound soon began to gradually evolve into a roar.

The First Cavalry Regiment began to accelerate their charge.

Their goal was the enemy base camp three kilometers away.

As long as this place is captured, Berbice Territory will be completely fallen! (To be continued..)

ps: I saw that many friends asked me how to deal with cervical spine problems. ... I went to acupuncture for the first time, but the doctor didn't advise me to do it after that, but the effect was really good the first time. Since then, I have been using the hot compress method taught by the doctor, and I have also done massage for the neck and shoulders. Basically, I go there every two to three days. This hospital has it all.
