The mercenaries on the field all changed their colors!
"cavalry!"
Next to Thales, Cannon, who was lying on the ground listening, was the first to roar, his voice filled with unstoppable joy:
"Lots of cavalry, very close!"
Soon, without Cannon's reminder, Thales felt:
The gravel beneath his feet began to tremble.
The inexplicable vibrations came closer and closer, coming from behind the sand dunes above their heads.
Like ocean waves.
Realizing what was coming, the mercenaries and royal guards all lowered their weapons.
Looking at the bunch of sparks, listening to the horn, and feeling the tremor of the ground, Ricky stopped what he was doing, and the madness and bloodiness in his mind came to a halt.
That is……
"Woo"
Amid the firelight and horns, Thales narrowed his eyes.
He felt something.
really.
Behind Ricky, a shadow suddenly appeared on the top of the dune below the sparks.
A white shadow.
A speeding white shadow.
And it is rapidly approaching the chaos under the dunes!
"Woo"
Amidst the sound of the horn, the white shadow approached at a speed that was comparable to that of a flying goshawk. It was approaching in just two seconds!
So Thales quickly saw what it looked like.
That's a white horse.
A galloping white horse.
White.
Immaculate.
beautiful.
It moves its four hooves, and the hoof exchange speed is amazing.
It's like a flash of ink lightning.
However, its movements appear to be leisurely and extremely elegant.
People even ignore the sound of horse hooves.
"Woo"
The trumpets continue.
Everyone was stunned.
"That's..." Little Barney stared blankly at the white shadow, and then was pushed away by Samuel.
Samir gasped and wiped the blood on his face from the chains:
"It's him."
"If you don't want to die, don't move!"
Thales also looked at the white shadow in surprise, but when he saw the figure on the horse, he immediately realized that it was a knight.
A knight with the same elegant and calm posture, but his speed was so fast that he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
Soon, the sound of rolling horse hooves became clearer and slower.
Thales raised his head subconsciously.
He suddenly discovered that at some point, under the gradually brightening dim light from the east, countless black shadows had appeared on the sand dunes on all sides, towering over him.
cavalry.
Yes, it's the cavalry.
Countless cavalry.
Following the rumbling sound, they came over the hills.
Like everyone else, Thales turned his head left and right, staring blankly above his head, watching the cavalry who suddenly appeared, reining in their reins, and slowly riding down the slope amidst the long but clear sound of the horn.
They gathered around this small sandy area.
Like the waves rolling over the rocks.
unstoppable.
If Thales, who was talking eloquently in the face of the princes in Longxiao City, still didn't know what "thousands of cavalry" meant...
Then he understands now.
Thousands of cavalry.
That means that no matter how wide your field of vision is, when you open your eyes and look up, all that fills your field of vision are these black cavalry.
There is no blank space.
That means that no matter how good or fine your hearing is, when they move forward in unison, the only thing that fills your ears is the rolling waves of hoofs.
Without exception.
That means that no matter how mature and calm your mind is, when thousands of hundreds of pounds of war horses come with a heart-stopping weight, shaking the gravel, the only thing that can remind yourself is that you are not in control.
And it beat faster and faster, almost shaking the heart out of the chest.
There is no... room to breathe.
Everyone was stunned.
Except for Sak'el.
As the most unaffected and most attentive person, the Punishment Knight kept a close eye on Ricky who was holding Yoder hostage.
The next second, he took advantage of the opponent's absence and suddenly burst out, appeared behind Ricky, and strangled the latter's neck!
"Boom!"
This forced Ricky to let go of Yoder.
The battle resumes!
The trumpet sounded.
The cavalrymen whose faces were unclear on the sand dunes all paused, seeming to be hesitating about this inexplicable battle.
Only the white shadow that appeared first was still racing down.
But under the sand dune, the threatened Ricky roared, his anger suddenly rose, and he launched his huge force, rolling to the ground and knocking Sakel to the ground.
"You are so annoying, Punishment Knight."
Ricky picked up the sword, and his terrifying voice sounded again, making many people tremble again.
But before Ricky could raise his sword, Yoder's figure and his strange gray dagger appeared again, and the blade penetrated Ricky's chest!
"Ahhh!"
Ricky roared fiercely, turned around and struck out with a sword. Yodel shuddered and rolled to avoid the blow.
But he couldn't go any further.
Because the next moment, the white figure that first appeared on the sand dune rushed in front of us and penetrated into the center of the battle between the three of them!
It was like a strong wind blowing away countless sand and dust.
Ricky only had time to duck to the side, barely avoiding the collision of the white horse!
But Thales was surprised to see:
Bai Ying's knight jumped into the air and waved his arms!
The next second, a spear that was completely white and shimmering magically appeared in the knight's hand!
Following the movements of the White Shadow Knight, it swept across the sky.
"Boom!"
The white spear hit Ricky in the chest.
With the momentum of the horse, Ricky flew out with a cry of pain and landed on the sandy slope behind him, shaking up countless waves of sand.
The white shadow knight in the air was also shaken by the recoil!
But he adjusted his posture freely in the air, his spear carved a trajectory on the sand, and landed gracefully on the ground.
Thales felt excited:
He realized that these were friendly forces.
But the next moment, the White Shadow Knight suddenly turned around!
The tip of his spear turned like a spiritual snake and swung towards Yoder who had just attacked Ricky!
Thales' nerves tightened: Which side is he on?
The masked guard flexibly lifted the gun, and made a flexible but slightly embarrassing roll to avoid the attack.
But Sak'el on the other side frowned deeply. He picked up Ricky's sword and wanted to save Yoder.
But the White Shadow Knight seemed to have eyes behind him. He retracted his spear and turned around!
An amazing scene appeared:
In a mechanical crisp sound, the white spear that was originally used as the lock with the back hand and the axis with the front hand magically changed its length, retracting forward and then thrusting out, stabbing out the second spear point from the owner's back hand, stabbing Sack back.
El!
Only then did Thales realize: it was a double-headed gun.
And it can be freely expanded and retracted?
In a flash of thought, the White Shadow Knight had turned around, changed his front hand to his back hand, and fired this shot at Sak'el!
The moment the guns and swords were about to clash, the punishment knight's expression changed.
Well aware of the huge disadvantage of a sword when facing a gun, he instinctively retracted the blade and took three steps back, barely able to avoid the inevitable thrust of the White Shadow Knight.
"Um?"
The White Shadow Knight was slightly surprised, as if he was puzzled by Sak'el's perfect avoidance of his confident blow.
At this time, Ricky let out a shrill roar again, which shocked the hearts of everyone present.
In the rolling sand and dust, Ricky burst out again, rushed back to the battlefield, and rushed towards Sak'el, who had not yet stood firm!
The Punishment Knight gritted his teeth slightly, but before he could react, the figure of Yoder flashed in the air and appeared on Ricky's path, intercepting the latter's knee.
"Woo"
Amid the continuous sound of horns, the battle between the three men resumed:
Ricky's momentum was overwhelming. He was extremely angry after being teased one after another and wanted to kill Sak'el.
Yoder, who was hiding in the dark, guerrillaed back and forth, trying his best to stop him while dodging in embarrassment.
Sak'el defended calmly while trying to find an opportunity to counterattack and cut off the demon's head again.
But before Thales could react, Bai Ying's knight moved again.
He dragged his spear behind him, walked across the sand at an astonishing speed, and charged into the battlefield of three people!
At that moment, Thales felt dazzled:
In the chaos, the white shadow knight was seen without any scruples, his spear darted left and right, flying rapidly, hitting the furious Ricky continuously, forcing the latter to stagnate;
While Sak'el took advantage of the situation to counterattack, the White Shadow Knight continued to attack with thorns, intercepting accurately every time, allowing the Punishment Knight to return without success;
However, the white spear would still be drawn at cold and inexplicable angles from time to time. At the moment when the air rippled, Yoder, who was forced to launch a surprise attack, was embarrassed and returned to the shadows.
The three of them were like three wolves fighting each other, but before they could touch each other, they were interrupted by the strange spear in the middle.
Everyone, including Thales, stared blankly at the melee:
That knight of white shadow...
he is……
One against three?
Figures of people were coming and going in the dust, and Thales' eyes were sore from seeing them.
The figure of the White Shadow Knight is extremely flexible, and his feet are not the only fulcrum. From time to time, the whole body moves back and forth with the two ends of the spear pointing to the ground as an axis, often dodging danger at the critical moment.
This reminded Thales of the "Locust Blade" of the past.
And his double-headed white spear is like the most magical weapon. It can be stretched as desired, of any length, back and forth, forward and backward, and can carry out the most powerful and precise attacks in any posture and from any angle.
With his flexible posture and fierce attack, coupled with the white shadow knight waving a rustling sound in the air, carrying a formidable spear...
He even...
No need to defend.
You can force the enemy out of the threat zone.
Finally, in the melee that lasted for nearly ten seconds, Sak'el seized the opportunity. He stepped forward quickly, turned his sword suddenly, and turned his target from Ricky to the White Shadow Knight.
The new knight frowned, his body changed and his spear moved, but the next second he found himself standing at an awkward angle:
He was separated by Yoder and could only watch Sak'el pounce on Ricky.
"laugh!"
The long sword cut into Ricky's shoulder blade.
"that's all?"
But Ricky suddenly raised his head and used an unprecedented sharp voice, which made Sak'el frown and retreat!
This voice seemed to be extremely special, and Thales, who was standing a little further away, also screamed in pain and knelt on the ground.
"Then you're done."
With a ferocious expression, Ricky pulled out the "Eternal Truth" from his shoulder and rushed towards the unstable Punishment Knight.
Yoder wanted to step forward, but he himself was crumbling under the piercing voice.
But at this moment, when everyone was in a bad state because of this roar, only Shiro Ying's knight moved.
I saw him facing up to the difficulties without any influence at all, his figure was like a white feather flying in the wind, passing Yoder gracefully and calmly,
Among Ricky's heart-stopping voices, only the voice of the White Shadow Knight came out.
"Quiet."
It was a cold, clear, and clear voice.
Like a stream of clear water in the endless filth.
Cleanse people's hearts.
It cannot be questioned or refuted, let alone disobeyed.
Ricky, who was still angry just a moment ago, suddenly stopped talking as if he was out of control!
The next second, the white spear was drawn down like lightning!
Hit Ricky right in the shoulder!
"Boom!"
That dull sound seemed to come from the bottom of my heart.
Ricky dropped his long sword and knelt down on his knees.
"very good."
Bai Ying's knight said softly, and then took back his spear.
Ricky didn't stand up again. He shook his head as if to shake himself awake.
Soon, Ricky raised his head again and looked at the white knight in front of him in disbelief. The yellow light in his eyes slowly disappeared, and the injuries on his face slowly recovered.
"you."
Ricky murmured.
Thales, who slowly approached, saw clearly the appearance of the White Shadow Knight.
The knight is of moderate height and slender figure, and looks to be no more than thirty years old.
He was dressed in a white riding attire, neat and clean, and walked with a proud posture and momentum, as if the fight just now could not shake him in the slightest.
The only thing that's a little bit weird is...
The knight's left shoulder, where the shoulder armor should have been, was covered with a gray-white, ugly and huge skull.
It somewhat added a sense of solemnity to him.
The White Shadow Knight seemed to feel Thales' gaze, and he turned back very alertly.
The moment he turned back, the young man felt as if he had cut through the waves with a knife's edge, leaving a trace of sharpness that was fleeting but unforgettable.
Under the dawn sky, Thales was stunned.
because……
Thales suddenly realized that this man who had fallen off his white horse was really a bit...
Too handsome.
He was so handsome that when his facial features turned towards Thales, it was like lightning piercing the sky, giving the illusion of "dispelling the darkness" even in the daytime.
His hair color is jet black, which looks like the ideal ink color in an oil painting. It complements his white suit and highlights each other.
His skin color is pale, but despite being in the desert with long yellow sand, he still has a strong and heroic spirit.
And under his left ear hung a unique, exquisite silver earring, just above the ugly skull.
And the look in his eyes...
Thales stared blankly, only to feel that the most gorgeous, but also the most deadly sword blade was hidden in those pair of shallow amber eyes. While attracting every connoisseur, it would pierce every person who went too far.
People who are addicted to it.
The White Shadow Knight glanced at Thales and turned back.
Only then did Thales react: he stared at him rudely and intently for several seconds.
The handsome White Shadow Knight ignored Ricky and turned to the other two people.
Under his gaze, Yoder put away his supreme sword and quickly disappeared into the air.
"Smart." The White Shadow Knight said coldly.
The fighting stopped silently.
The open space under the dunes returned to silence.
The White Shadow Knight retracted his right hand, and like a magic trick, the magical white spear shortened to the length of one cubit and was put back behind his back.
He glanced at the mercenaries and royal guards behind him as if nothing happened.
His expression was very indifferent, as if it was nothing.
But it made the people behind him nervous.
The White Shadow Knight didn't say anything. He turned around and made a gesture to the sky.
Rumble...
The sound of hooves resumed, and the cavalry on the dunes began to march again.
The mercenaries and royal guards raised their heads with vigilance:
The cavalry on the sand dunes on all sides are getting closer and closer. There are many of them, hundreds or even thousands of them have already come into sight. More cavalry are still emerging from behind the sand dunes, slowly going downhill.
Coupled with the size of the horses, they looked like black ants all over the mountains and plains from a distance, covering them blackly from every direction, and they were extremely oppressive.
Only then did Thales recognize:
The cavalrymen in the front row all raised their crossbows and faced the crowd below the dunes with hostility, as if they would fire thousands of arrows at the first command.
This also makes the people under the dunes more and more nervous.
"Hey" little Barney was about to speak when he saw Hope, but was held down by Samir behind him.
"Don't talk nonsense," Semir whispered, while scanning other former colleagues with warning eyes, and pouted at the knight of Bai Ying:
"That bastard doesn't like anyone interrupting when he's doing something."
Under everyone's nervous and vigilant gazes, the handsome white knight walked up to Sak'el and looked down at this soldier with a bruised nose and swollen face, wounds all over his body, and was in a state of embarrassment, but he kept fighting fiercely.
The handsome man's voice was cold and hollow, carrying inexplicable power, like the cold current in the silent void:
"I recognize your brand."
The man raised his head, and like an eagle's eye, he accurately captured the figures of Barney and others in the crowd:
"And yours too."
Everyone in the royal guard's expressions darkened.
Sak'el also stared at the knight in white in front of him, squinting his eyes as if he remembered something.
"Ah, I recognize you too." A few seconds later, the punishment knight smiled.
