Chapter 84
Walker led the wolf cavalry to gallop north in the night, and every thirty miles, he would stop the team to rest. The cavalry would take this precious time to clean the mouth and nose of the giant wolf under his crotch, and he would stuff a few emergency rations in the cold river water.
The entire team did not have any unnecessary conversation during the rest and recuperation process. Each wolf cavalry was like parts of a watch, performing their own duties, calm and efficient.
This was their fourth night away from the Light Field.
Walker always felt that there seemed to be eyes behind them secretly watching them. This keen but instinct that came from was made to escape from death several times. After several attempts to investigate in the rear, he even tried to find out the eyes behind him, but in the end he ended empty-handedly.
Walker had no choice but to think that he was too nervous.
The closer you are to the mountains on the northern border of the Kingdom, the more snow it is, the more white it is seen, with snowflakes falling and the squeaking sounds of wolf riding on the snow. There is no other sound.
Walker rode on the wolf's back and vomited a breath of heat into his palms, took out the map from his arms and opened it, confirming that they had arrived at the meeting place, where they would complete the handover with the wolf cavalry who had been rotated down, and then start a new round of border patrol.
But it was already the expected time, and the Wolf Cavalry team that had been replaced had not appeared yet.
Walker looked at the heavy snow falling from the goose feathers, thinking that maybe it was heavy snow that blocked the mountain. The patrolling Wolf Cavalry team was delaying their time because of detours. This kind of thing had been encountered before, but he had experienced it two or three times himself, but he didn't take it seriously.
The wolf cavalry walked along the frozen river under the mountains, and made fires and rested in a wide-view place. They took out the jerky beef that they brought from Guangmingye that they had never been willing to eat along the way. Several wolf cavalrymen were watching not far away.
"This beautiful thing of bright and wildness is really not a boast. The brothers who used to listen to the change of defense were so full of fantasies. Now they know it is true. It is more than ten times better than the things made in our gang house!" One of Walker's deputy held a beef jerky made of various spices and roasted it on the fire. Soon golden butter dripped from the gap between the meat strips. He quickly stuffed oil and meat into his mouth, shook his cheeks and chewed it hard, his face full of intoxication, as if this was the most rare delicacy in the world.
In fact, the northern provinces of the Orc Kingdom have always ranked last among the five major provinces, and they have the vastest land, but the Varonian wasteland has no other resources to develop except grass and rivers.
The consul here used to run the animal husbandry for a period of time. After all, the Varonian wasteland grass was fat, and with the help of the military headquarters and temples, to be honest, it was really done well at the beginning. If it could continue to develop, it might not be impossible to get rid of the title of the last fiscal revenue of the northern province in the country for many years.
Unfortunately, two troll tribes later interfered, destroying the local animal husbandry and the commercial circle formed by this. The fiscal deficit of the northern provinces was naturally the fiscal expenditure of the Iron King Champions League was tight every year, either deducting the soldiers' weapons and equipment or snatching them from the food. It's no wonder they particularly like Guangmingye's food.
After eating a few pieces of beef jerky, the wolf cavalry were also hot all over. Walker could no longer sit still. Half an hour had passed since the agreed gathering time. Why did the wolf cavalry team who had changed their defense not appear for a long time?
He personally brought every soldier in the Wolf Cavalry Squadron. They are the elites of the Iron King Champion. They will always have the priority of completing tasks. There will never be any situation of disobeying military orders or deliberately delaying them.
The bitter cold wind blew past his ears, Walker's wolf ears suddenly stood up, and he keenly caught the discordant hissing sound. He seemed to realize something, his face changed drastically, and he looked back suddenly. A featherless white arrow passed through his vision, penetrated the thin armor on the neck of a wolf cavalry, and burst out a shrill blood flower.
This sharp arrow, deliberately painted white, does not make any sound during flight because there are no feathers at the tail. Moreover, the cluster of arrows without feathers not only has blood grooves and barbs, but also has a light blue light, which is obviously very poisonous.
In addition to being smeared with poisonous poison, the cluster of arrows without feathers is also engraved with complex enchantments unique to the human empire. This enchantment can greatly increase the penetration of weapons.
The arrows engraved with this kind of enchantment are very expensive. They are called Armored Arrows. The already thin armor of the wolf cavalry is simply shaped like thin paper in front of Armored Armored Arrows!
This is simply a long-planned massacre!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Spread the formation!" Walker's eyes were red and roaring.
The wolf cavalry began to organize counterattacks the moment they encountered an attack, but the penetration effect of the annihilation arrow was too domineering. Even if they were lucky enough to die under the penetration effect of the annihilation arrow, the poison applied to the arrow cluster would make them die of death.
The wolf cavalry scouts fell one by one, and they were unable to break out of the firepower net composed of annihilated arrows, while the one-sided massacre continued.
Walker's eyes were so angry that he finally understood why the Wolf Cavalry team that should have been replaced was not seen. It was not that they did not act according to military orders, but that the two mercenary groups of the human empire had crossed the border mountains, and even violated the rules of war and benevolence and morality, and massacred all his brothers!
The sound of sharp arrows piercing through armor and flesh and blood sounded in Walker's ears. His eyes turned red, trying his best to cover the brothers and rushed out, but the number of armor-absorbed arrows was like a tide, piercing through his shoulders and throat. His unsheathed saber fell into the snow, and his majestic body knelt down, and his vision stained with blood gradually blurred.
On his dying day, he saw many human mercenaries holding crossbows walking out of the snow pile in the distance. Among them, a shirtless man walked to him with a grin and raised his sword. His vision flipped back a few times and landed on the ground. He saw his headless corpse.
The Iron King Champion Squadron of the Prairie Wolf Cavalry Scout Squadron in the Northern Province was wiped out.
A few kilometers away from the scene where the Wolf Cavalry Scout Squadron was slaughtered, three fleece cat girls wearing the same color as snow were tracking along the footprints left by the Wolf Cavalry.
"The squadron leader of the group of wolf cavalry scouts is really alert. He has been suspicious of us several times along the way. If the anti-reconnaissance skills we learned from Lord Anna could come in handy, he would have discovered us." Lu Keke held the snow in his arms, and walked forward while covering up his footprints. They had used this method to avoid the Wolf Cavalry's pursuit several times before.
"No, it seems that there are still some amazing guys in the Iron King Champion." Mia asked excitedly while identifying the direction in the night under the wind and snow, "By the way, Sister Lu Keke, you have only met Lord Chang Hao in recent times. After hearing other sisters say that Lord Chang Hao has improved what realm is, he has become more and more handsome. Isn't it true? Tell us quickly!"
"I don't think it's that mysterious. I think Lord Chang Hao has always been very handsome." Lu Keke blushed, not sure whether it was because of shyness or the wind and snow.
"Don't talk! Smell it carefully! There is a smell of blood!" Leah's face suddenly changed.
Lu Keke and Mia were shocked. They carefully identified the smell in the wind and snow, and sure enough, they smelled a trace of bloody smell that was blown by the wind and snow.
In such a strong wind and snow, the smell of blood can be smelled so far away. What a tragic bloody scene it would be? Lu Keke had a bad premonition in his heart.
She climbed up to the heights in the darkness and found a few kilometers away.
The Wolf Cavalry Squadron led by Walker would make fires at night every rest point, but this time the fire was too big and too strong. There were shadows everywhere around the fire, far exceeding the size of the squadron. Lu Keke exhausted her eyes, and she could not see any shadow of the Wolf Cavalry, and replaced it with a fully armed human!
The smell of blood floated from the direction of the fire, and the whole body was cold.
Even the stupidest person can guess what happened there.
Lu Keke took out a talisman paper from his arms tremblingly, and according to what the boss told him, he lit a corner of the talisman paper and threw it into the air, watching it turn into ashes in the cold wind.
At the same time, Chang Hao opened his eyes in the Guangmingye Hall hundreds of miles away.
The pupils are filled with heart-pounding golden.
