It was a dark and cold night, the moon and stars were hidden in the thick clouds, and the biting cold wind blew the land with only grass roots left, making it appear quiet and desolate.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hooves rang in the northeast of the land. A sweaty Dongyi cavalry looked behind him in panic, then waved the whip in his hand and whipped his mount hard.
Under the whipping of its master, the Dongyi war horse, which had begun to pant heavily, accelerated its pace again, and its speed actually increased again.
However, the efforts of the war horse had no effect at all. At this moment, the three pursuers wearing silver plate armor still did not give up chasing the man and the horse, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer with the passage of time.
Soon, a cavalryman who was chasing the prey raised the war bow engraved with talismans on the fast-running elf horse. The two azure gems on the bow gradually brightened as the bow string was pulled, and then
As the bow string was fully drawn, the light from the gemstones focused on the Noldor arrows that were placed on the bow string, and the originally bright silver arrows were rendered into a chilling blue light.
Then the cavalry loosened the bow string in their hands, and the fast-flying arrow flew towards the Dongyi cavalry who was fleeing in panic like a flash of blue lightning.
The Dongyi cavalry who was fleeing in front seemed to feel something, and suddenly turned sideways and looked back, just in time to see the pursuer behind him loosen the bowstring in his hand, and the blue light came to his eyes in an instant.
The Dongyi cavalry assassin had no time to react. The brief pain was followed by severe chills and endless darkness.
At this moment, the Dongyi Cavalry's instantly stiffened body could no longer maintain its balance on the galloping horses. Within a few seconds, it fell to the ground. After the body came into contact with the hard ground, it fell into several pieces.
Horimion put away the sapphire sigil bow in his hand, drove the elf horse under his crotch to catch up with the Dongyi war horse that had slowed down, controlled it, and handed the horse's reins to a companion beside him.
And quickly said: "Bellis, deal with the bodies on the ground, and then return directly to Lord Allen, there is no need to look for us."
After hearing this, Bayliss, a member of the Twilight Knights, nodded immediately, took the reins, turned his horse and walked towards the enemy corpses scattered on the ground.
Hermione, who had arranged the aftermath, then said softly to the little girl in the arms of another companion: "Emily, there should be another escaped enemy. Is your Nighthawk partner back?"
Even though she was hugged tightly by the Twilight Knight with a blanket, Emily, who had been running in the cold wind for several hours, still looked tired and haggard. The little squirrel seemed to be feeling sorry for its partner at this moment.
Usually, he uses his little paws to help this little girl comb her messy hair.
However, this tough little girl did not complain. After hearing Hermione's words, Emily puffed up her cheeks and let out a short bird's call.
After a while, other bird calls appeared in the sky. This was the response given by Emily's nighthawk partner. After receiving the news, Emily looked at the sky and pointed to the northwest with her hand.
At the same time, he said: "It's not far over there."
"very good."
After a shout of approval, Hermione didn't waste any time and rode towards the direction pointed by Emily. He was a little anxious now because the enemy's base camp, the outline of the chariot capital, had already appeared in front of him.
, Hermione, who has excellent eyesight, can even see clearly the little bits of fire inside.
This place is so close to Ashur's base camp that Hermione is not even willing to let the enemy's blood stay here, because in winter, the ground is extremely frozen in the cold weather and the blood will not penetrate at all.
into the land, and the Dongyi people have the habit of raising hounds. Hermione cannot let the enemies living in the chariot capital get the news of the start of the war, and his next task is to use the sapphire talisman bow in his hand.
, kill the last enemy to escape.
At this time, Allen had led his army to fight in this wilderness for more than a month. In this increasingly cold winter, Allen relied on his powerful reconnaissance capabilities, rapid maneuverability and extremely fast recovery.
Ability, during this period of time, four Dongyi camps were destroyed, including Rabat and Bamond.
During the battle, Allen's Mettenheim warriors and the two skin-changers Wolf and Grim played a crucial role. In the camp with narrow and complex terrain, they were far more powerful than the cavalry.
It has higher destructive power. With the assistance of Allen's soldiers, it can destroy the enemy's morale in a very short period of time, thus quickly ending the battle.
Of course, the terrifying lightning in Allen's hand also frightened those savage, rude and short-sighted Dongyi people.
But this was not fast enough, and it was far from enough. Looking at the thick clouds in the sky, Allen knew that it was about to snow in the wilderness, and it would definitely be a heavy snowfall.
Once it snows, his plan can only be terminated. In any case, he will not let his soldiers march in heavy snow, because this is an unobstructed wilderness, with strong winds mixed with cold snowflakes, even if they are wearing clothes
Even with warm winter clothes, most of his men couldn't last long in such weather.
If we must fight in such an environment, there will be only one final result, and that is that the disease will take away more lives than the battle, and the war will definitely be half the effort with twice the effort.
At night, Allen always launches his attack at night, and only at night, the Dongyi people will return to their camps to live. Even in winter, they will drive slaves to harvest horse grass in the wild during the day, and even more.
Some Dongyi warlords would visit other camps with drinks and food during the day.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Allen encountered such a thing, and without hesitation killed the bewildered man in the Dongyi camp he had just defeated.
Dongyi warlord.
This Dongyi warlord was unable to adapt to this huge change in a short period of time. Half a month ago, he was drinking and having fun with his new colleagues in this camp, and he even got a few slaves as gifts in return.
At that time, there were more than two thousand Dongyi people living in this huge camp. They came to Rovanian two years in advance and lived a very good life.
But now, this place has become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. This huge change has made him forget to beg for mercy. Of course, he will no longer need to beg for mercy soon.
After Allen killed the Dongyi warlord who rashly broke into the area under his control, he knew that he could not continue to repair the troops for two days according to the original plan.
The leader of a camp suddenly disappeared. Who knows what will happen in two days?
Therefore, under the influence of various conditions, Allen did not march cautiously in the wilderness as in the past. Instead, while Hermione cleared the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry, he directly led the troops to rush to the vicinity of the enemy's camp, and
Or divide your troops to attack the two camps.
He prepared to attack the two camps closest to him at this last moment and try his best to weaken the enemy's strength.
After the fight, Allen will lead his men to hide in the canyon where northern humans once hid, and spend the coldest moments of winter there.
In fact, Allen's war plan has been almost half completed. There were originally five Dongyi camps around Ashur, but in fact, after Rabat and Bamond left, only three remained.
However, in the harsh living environment, two more Dongyi tribes could not resist the temptation of Ashur and came to Rovanian. However, they did not get the beautiful life they imagined when they arrived for the first time.
At this moment, the camp closer to the east was already caught in the flames of war.
Under the full attack of nearly 3,000 infantrymen and 1,000 cavalry under Allen's command, these Dongyi people, whose foothold was not stable, were in danger and on the verge of collapse.
Things went relatively smoothly up to this point. News came from Horimion that they had also completed control of this area. All the enemy's scout cavalry had died in this wilderness.
After learning the news, Allen personally led his own guards into the battle to attack the camp. As Allen's chain lightning appeared on the battlefield, those Dongyi people who were stubbornly resisting were soon unable to resist it.
He knelt down and surrendered.
But just as Allen's troops were cleaning the battlefield, a group of Dongyi cavalry who fled in panic suddenly broke into Allen's control area from the north of the camp, and saw the flaming battlefield from a distance.
At the same time, Kress also learned about this enemy from his animal companions, and then reported it to Allen, who was treating the soldiers.
The moment he heard the news, Allen guessed the origin of these enemies.
Obviously, the dwarf troops led by King Thorin II of Gushan have probably conquered Iron Arm Town at this moment and started attacking other Dongyi camps. However, the dwarf troops only have hundreds of goat cavalry and a small number of warriors.
Che, it is impossible for him to block information as tightly as Allen.
This group of cavalry is probably the messenger who escaped from those two camps, either to ask for help from Ashur or to report the news of the start of the war.
Allen's guess was not entirely correct, but it was not wrong. The man leading the cavalry at this moment was Kurda, the leader of Iron Arm Town. When Thorin II's army suddenly appeared outside the city wall of Iron Arm Town from the Iron Hills,
, Kurda was not in his own territory, but was visiting his colleagues' camp with some of his cavalry.
In any case, Kurda is also an old subordinate of Ashur, and he made great contributions when he attacked the eastern part of Rovanian. The relationship between the two parties is naturally closer, and compared to these new colleagues, they are more
Able to speak well to the leader.
Moreover, among the younger brothers of Ashur, Kurda is relatively powerful, and he even occupies a town with stone walls. Therefore, these two newly relocated Dongyi warlords often entertain Kurda.
, dredge the relationship between the two parties so that they can have a place to hide in critical moments.
After Kurda enjoyed himself among his colleagues for a period of time, Iron Arm Town had actually been captured by the dwarves. When Kurda returned with his troops, he saw groups of elite dwarves cleaning the battlefield.
Moreover, a group of goat cavalry also spotted them from a distance and began to charge in his direction. The leader was an unusually tall dwarf.
Kurda, who had already witnessed the combat power of the dwarves in the Battle of Long Lake, did not hesitate at all. He took dozens of cavalry under his command and returned to his colleagues' camp along the original route, and tried his best to persuade his colleagues to move the camp and stay away.
Dwarf army.
Kurda knew that all his men were dead, and the nearby Dongyi people alone had no way to fight against the large-scale elite dwarves, so he had no choice but to give up the idea of rescue.
And he couldn't understand why the Durin dwarves living in the high mountains suddenly attacked him in this cold winter. The two sides had obviously signed a peace treaty and lived without interfering with each other for two years. If possible,
If so, Kurda hopes that such a stable and prosperous life can be maintained forever. He doesn't want to fight anymore.
In fact, Kurda has always been affected by the battle near Long Lake. He often dreams of his friend dying in the flames while sleeping, looking at him with a grin, as if asking himself why he didn't save him at that time.
After that, the figure of his friend will disappear in the flames, and what rushes out from the flames are endless elves and dwarf troops, waving cold weapons in their hands, ready to take away their lives, and then Kurda will
He would wake up from a nightmare, and this dream had been bothering him for two years.
The bad memories and mental state made Kurda, who was originally keen on plundering, become tired of war. He had to drink a lot of strong alcohol every day to sleep peacefully.
However, he put these things behind him for the time being. The top priority was how to save his own life, and at the same time pass the news of the war to Ashur and let his boss prepare for the war.
But the reaction of the Dongyi people was still slow. Just as the entire camp was preparing to move, the dwarf goat cavalry had already appeared on the periphery of their camp. Knowing that they could not be dragged down, Kurda gathered hundreds of Dongyi cavalry.
Before the dwarf army attacked the camp, they rushed out and ran towards the south.
Then they plunged into Allen's control area and saw the camp with unusual fire.
In the previous battles, in addition to sending most of his reconnaissance forces to the east, Allen also paid attention to the north direction. However, tonight's battle started too hastily, just to ensure the safety of the surroundings.
, Hermion took away all the animal friends.
He really did not expect that enemy cavalry would approach the battlefield at this moment, knowing that it was already late at night.
No matter what, Allen can't just watch this group of Dongyi cavalry bring his news to other enemies. His plan has not yet been completely successful.
"Cress, inform Hermione, do your best to intercept the enemy's cavalry force, hurry up!!"
After giving the order to Kress, Allen then said to Abinas beside him: "Please gather some tribesmen as soon as possible. I need your help very much now."
After saying that, Allen rushed towards his elf horse, and the originally peaceful camp suddenly became lively. After a while, a cavalry rushed out of the camp.
Even though it was a dark night, with the help of the fire, Kurda could clearly see a group of cavalry rushing towards him, but they had been running for a long time and were already exhausted.
Kurda looked at his subordinates behind him, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Everyone run away."
Immediately, hundreds of Dongyi cavalry were divided into more than a dozen squads, and under the cover of the dark night, they moved away from Allen's cavalry unit, but their direction was towards the chariot capital of Ashur.
