Volume 1: Looking Northwest, Shooting the Sirius Chapter 69: Spell Attack Part 1
"I don't know if it's an elite one, but there is only one person and twenty pawns. The time of death is about the same. Half of them have activated the runes."
The black shaman's skin is as dark as ink, and even his tattoos are somewhat indistinguishable. His voice is still calm.
Black River Guard General Agmar stopped what he was doing and said with interest:
"So, this pair of twenty should be fighting against each other. Maybe the identities of the two can be distinguished from the flames?"
"...Are you kidding?"
The black shaman turned his head to look at Agma. His dark face and eyes were pure white, glowing with sparkling white light, which made people feel sick at the sight.
"How can I do what the great shamans can't do."
Agma grinned:
"If you can't do it, don't you still have Desire Tian?"
"The God of Desire is everywhere and knows everything, and he will definitely be able to see the face of anyone who comes."
"A mayfly and ant, worthy of the attention of Desire?"
The black shaman, who had always been calm, showed dissatisfaction in his tone. Agma laughed again and shouted loudly outside the door:
"Let Sanger take a battalion of pawns to Manzi Castle to see which great god is here to pay his respects!"
"Here!"
After passing through Manzi Fort, Chai Tiannuo did not take a straight path, but made a big circle to rush to Suolong Pass.
Those dead Black River Guards all have runes on their bodies. If they are not kept intact, there will be some evil things that can be perceived by others.
Along the way, Chai Tiannuo discovered a large number of Tatars on horseback, guarding the densely packed carts heading south. These were the tribes belonging to the Black River Guards, which were rushing into the pass.
There was a solemn expression on Chaitino's face. The original Tatars had given up the pasture with them, but they still flocked to the pass in large numbers. This showed that the number of tribes who came with the Black River Guards was far beyond imagination.
Chaitino rode his horse and slowly approached a small migrating tribe. The tattooed Tatars did not take it seriously at first, thinking they were soldiers of the Black River Guard. They accidentally asked Chaitino, but Chaitino revealed his secret.
He never expected that the language of the tattooed Tatars was actually different from that of the ordinary steppe Tatars. Even the basic greetings were very different.
When the tattooed Tatars discovered the clue, they immediately became furious. A group of people brandished spears and scimitars and rushed towards Chaitino, but he instantly knocked down more than 20 of his riders. They were so frightened that these guys turned around and ran away, but Chaitino brandished them with Minghongchi.
The way to go.
It was getting dark, and the migrating tribal carts gathered in a circle, with a bonfire burning brightly in the middle. Two tattooed Tatars with bruised noses and swollen faces were serving the Rouge Rabbit with iron brushes of beans.
Chaitino held a salt bowl and knife and happily ate the roasted lamb on the fire.
"I never thought that there are people in the tribe who can understand Mandarin. I am very lucky."
The translator, who also had a bruised nose and face, was grinning. His swollen face made it impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing.
"How many people came this time?"
Chaitino asked while eating.
The translator thought for a moment and stretched out ten fingers, but Chaitino slapped him and knocked him to the ground.
"Ten, do you think a certain eye is for breathing?"
"...Sir, I don't mean ten, but many, many."
The translator wiped away the nosebleed and said carefully.
"There has to be a certain quantity if there are many, many, many. It can't be infinite, right?"
After wiping his hands, Chaitino glanced at the translator sideways and found that except for the many tattoos on their bodies, these guys really didn't look barbaric.
To be honest, they are not as arrogant as those steppe Tatars in the past. They are so famous that it is better to meet them.
I don’t know much about translation and arithmetic, or I don’t know how to do arithmetic at all. After scratching my head for a while, I made gestures with my hands again:
"I heard from the Lord of the Black River Guards that the number of people we come here this time is at least four or five times that of the Black River Guards. We are preparing for the subsequent war."
"Besides, the nobles in the royal court also need people to take care of them. It's impossible to have too few people."
Chai Tiannuo frowned slightly, never expecting to hear such important news from the mouths of these ordinary herdsmen. The defense change of the guards and the move of the royal tent south were indeed preparations for war!
I don't know whether the northwest frontier army, whose combat strength is not as good as before, can withstand the charge of the prairie cavalry.
After eating the fragrant mutton, Chai Tiannuo did not take a rest, but rode on the Rouge Rabbit and rode away under the moonlight.
A day or two without sleep would have little effect on him. The most important thing now was to gather information and understand the purpose of the Black River Guards.
In one night, Chaitino attacked four or five small tribes. During this period, he was lucky enough to capture a messenger from the Black River Guards and got important news.
Although the main tent of the royal court has moved south, in the future, Shi Long Shanyu will be in charge of the important affairs of the royal court. It will be the seventh son of Shan Yu, Shi Tianlang, nicknamed Sirius!
His purpose is very clear, to clear out all the bridges and border towns in the south of Suolong Pass, push the front line under the border towns in one fell swoop, and if possible, break through the border towns and go straight into the northwest hinterland!
The reason why so many tribes came this time was to allow them to take root here, adapt to the environment, and prepare for the invasion of Dahua.
After hearing the news, Chaitino, who was originally leisurely, couldn't wait any longer. He killed the messenger with a knife, turned around and ran towards Tumu Fort.
The sooner you know this kind of news, the better prepared you will be.
As the morning light rose from the earth, Chaitino looked around. More and more tribes entered the pass, looking from a distance like a crawling ant colony.
"If the matter becomes serious, if we really let them take root, the frontier fortress will definitely change hands!"
Looking at the densely packed prairie people, Chai Tiannuo became more and more anxious. Yesterday, there was no one in Manzibao except the big one. Now, the migrating carts have formed a long queue.
"Damn it, where did these guys come from?"
Cursing, Chaitino rushed towards the Manzi Fort with Minghong in hand, waving his arms, instantly overturning more than ten carts, blocking the already narrow passage, and he quickly moved forward with his whip.
All the big cars I saw were destroyed.
"broken!"
The general rushed out of Manzi Fort. Chaitino's heart skipped a beat. Hundreds of cavalry were lined up neatly, blocking the pass. No need to ask, the target must be him!
We must rush over and spread the news.
Chai Tiannuo didn't hesitate at all, clamped his legs together, raised his Minghong diagonally and charged straight towards the enemy's formation!
"Set up a spear formation, don't let him take advantage of the opportunity!"
Tonglong Mansion rushed to the captain, shook his neck, held up the long-handled Xuanhua ax in his hand, and urged his horse to run towards Chai Tiannuo.
Killing twenty Black River Guards in one battle, let’s see what this powerful barbarian is capable of!
If you dare to ride out alone to meet the enemy, and if the opponent is full of pressure, you will probably be a good player.
Chai Tiannuo narrowed his eyes slightly and used his inner strength. At the moment when the two horses crossed each other, Minghong slashed out with a sound that broke through the air!
"Dang!"
The intersection of swords and axes erupted into dazzling sparks, and several fragments the size of fingernails flew out, causing the armor to clank.
"Hmm~!"
"Eh~~!"
The strength of both sides was beyond the other's imagination. The collision was so powerful that the galloping horses were instantly stopped, and both horses roared in pain.
"cut!"
Chai Tiannuo jumped up from his horse, raised Ming Hong with both hands high, and slashed towards the Tonglong Mansion and charged at Captain Sangge!
"Bang~!"
Sanger raised the ax to counter it, and with great force, the horse's legs weakened and fell to the ground instantly. Even the ax handle, which was as thick as his wrist, was cut with a large gap by Chaitino.
