In front of the two of them, a snow riding cavalry appeared. Under the knight's seat was some kind of horse-like creature with thick fur all over its body. The knight's armor was also very unique. Only the vital parts of the body were protected by pieces of armor.
Elsewhere there are warm military uniforms.
This is a style of armor that Chai Anping has never seen before. If it didn't still have the typical design concept of Demacia, he would have thought it was a foreign and unfamiliar army.
Lux has never seen such an army, but she has heard that the military workshop has developed armor for the cold weather in the north in the past two years. Moreover, ordinary armor is not as effective as the heavy axes and large guns of the Freljordians.
The bottom of the hammer is often as thin as a piece of paper, so military uniforms like this may be more suitable for snowy mountain environments.
Chai Anping noticed that behind them, there were several black shadows dragging under the snow waves raised by the horses' hooves, and they could vaguely see several dead giant beasts.
He looked carefully and found that this elite unit had obviously gone through a battle not long ago. Most of the soldiers who were guarded by their comrades in the team had their armor stained with blood. The little blood stains were very conspicuous on the white armor.
In addition, the broken weapons tied on the horse's back also illustrate the intensity of the previous battle.
Chai'an Pingyuan thought that he and Lux would not attract the attention of this team while flying in the sky, but as a result, they just approached and a shrill and urgent whistle blew.
"Array up!"
The commander of the team shouted loudly.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang——"
Countless sharp blades were unsheathed, and after the commander issued the order using the team's common code, a dozen short spears with cold light were faintly pointed in the direction of him and Lux.
Demacia's army has always been one of the top ones on the mainland, and it can even be said that it is difficult to find an opponent with the same number.
At this moment, this well-trained troops showed amazing military qualities on horseback.
The military formation that was still some distance away from them quickly changed its formation on the snow. The pikemen rode forward to form a sharp cone, and the short spearmen shrank to the rear of the team, ready to throw weapons at any time.
On both sides of the front line, long swords stood next to each other, showing an astonishing murderous intent.
The trophies behind them had already been cut off with a sword to avoid affecting the battle. After the commander gave a few instructions, no one in the cavalry spoke again. Only the thunderous sound of horse hooves rumbled on the snowy field, which was frightening.
Chai Anping hurriedly revealed his identity, his eyes filled with brilliance. This cavalryman he met by chance was so amazing!
"This seems to be my brother's fearless vanguard camp!"
Lux exclaimed and saw the mark on the war horse.
"oh?"
Chai Anping fell in front of the cavalry, leaving a large open space for the cavalry to buffer.
"Looking at the troop logo, it should be the third unit of the Fearless Pioneer Battalion."
Lux added in a low voice beside him: "There are a total of six Dauntless Vanguards, all of which can be mounted to fight. In addition, each has its own specialization. For example, I heard that the third one is particularly good at tracking and hunting, which is the best.
Scouts are also the most powerful troops in pursuit of victory.
The number of people in each department is more than a thousand, so the number here should be about one-fifth, right?"
Good guy...
One is ten times the size of his magic army!
Chai Anping clicked his tongue, because the two of them took the initiative to fall down? So the powerful rangers who ran out from the opposite side also stopped. Immediately afterwards, some of the front troops clamped the belly of the horse, and cautiously moved toward the two of them.
Come closer.
"Do you have anything that can more directly prove your identity? Lux?"
Chai Anping thought about the days when Tianguang took Lux touring the mountains and rivers? It seemed that he didn't bring anything serious at all in his backpack...
"How could you not bring something so important!"
Lux rolled her eyes at him, rummaged around in her backpack for a while, and finally found the Crownguard's token.
There was a centurion from the third part of the Fearless Pioneer riding up from the opposite side. He was a young nobleman from the capital. At this time, he was muttering secretly. The name of the man opposite just now was actually a crown prince from the capital.
Miss Wei...
Isn’t this nonsense?
When their army was setting off, Miss Crownguard was still making love with her fiancé in the capital!
Furthermore? This is a bitter cold place outside the border. How could the nobles of the capital appear in such a place?
In other words, Demacia has now canceled the ban on magic? Otherwise, the moment you see someone flying in the sky, those short spears will be thrown immediately to prevent the mage's magic or some weird ability from destroying the formation.
He led several of his men to the two of them, pointing his spear at Chai Anping's face.
He suddenly felt that this face looked familiar...
"Huh?"
Did you see it on any wanted poster?
"I am Count Gracie Shelley from the capital, and this is Laxana Crownguard of the Crownguard family!"
Chai Anping reiterated his statement: "I have important information to inform your pioneer leader. Please take us over to see him? This is proof of identity..."
Chai Anping threw the token of the Crown Guard Palace over, and the centurion caught it. It was a white and silver waistband with the emblem of the Crown Guard Palace and the identity of the owner engraved on it.
Chai Anping originally had a certificate of reward from three generations, and worse still, a certificate from the commander of the Steel Wings Legion, but...it was a pity that he didn't bring any of them.
The centurion inspected this belt solemnly...
It seems to be the real thing?
But in fact, there are some smuggling gangs on the border who are able to fake the real ones, and according to the statistics of the border army, the nobles who suddenly appear in this situation... nine out of ten are fake!
He motioned without leaving a trace for his men to surround the two of them.
"Why did Miss Crown Guard suddenly appear in such a place? Your Excellency does not take us seriously. Could it be that His Highness will come to the border to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"
He sneered: "Think we will take you back to our headquarters because of your relationship with the vanguard? I think you have ulterior motives! You can still fly. The Noxian spies have spent a lot of money this time!"
Chai Anping:……
"Little brother, please don't worry."
He turned to look at Lux: "Do you have any better constructive suggestions?"
"Well……"
Lux was also in trouble for a while. There were times when her waist card was not easy to use?
The key point is that the two of them don't look like they can explore in this ice and snow for a long time. It's no wonder that people don't believe it at all!
Not pinning his hopes on this naive girl, Chai Anping looked at the centurion opposite who was obviously the leader: "Many of your Fearless Pioneer recruits come from the capital. My appearance is often seen in the newspapers. I believe someone will recognize it.
You can ask someone to identify it."
It is embarrassing to say that although Miss Crown Guard is well-known, there are still very few newspapers that dare to put her portrait on a large page in newspapers due to the suppression by the Crown Guard Office.
Moreover, Chai Anping had no intention of exposing Laksiping to the public because of such a trivial matter.
"Gracie Shelley..."
The centurion's brows behind his helmet furrowed. This was indeed the name of Miss Crownguard's fiancé. They all heard Galen mention it when they were drinking with the vanguard leader...
He couldn't make up his mind at once. If he was really a noble person, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to directly order someone to be kidnapped.
"Wait."
He responded in a muffled voice and hurried back to ask a few times who knew Chai Anping.
Now the orderly military formation was in turmoil. Because the horses were galloping and the wind and snow were howling, most people didn't hear what Chai Anping said clearly. As soon as the centurion mentioned his name, many young people shouted violently.
The ground became excited.
"I recognize it! Captain, I recognize it!"
"Go up to the other side. I attended the banquet with Lord Shelley. I can definitely identify it!"
"..."
Seeing the passionate expressions of the group, the centurion suddenly fell into confusion - wasn't that man the fiancé of Miss Crown Guard? Why did the thorny head who was dissatisfied with no one in the team suddenly look like this?
He caught one of his men who was at the front and asked him why. As a result, he was met with disbelief and contempt from the people around him.
Then everyone suddenly remembered——
The silly captain doesn't like reading newspapers.
"Ah this..."
The subordinate who was held by his collar said to him seriously: "Captain, I...saved His Majesty."
"Yeah yeah!"
"I heard that when I was sent to Piltover as an envoy, I even killed a Noxian enemy."
"Yeah yeah!"
Someone tapped the centurion on the shoulder. He looked sideways and saw that it was the real commander hidden in the team!
Hubbard Nelson, the deputy staff officer of the third unit of Dauntless Vanguard, is also one of the top three captains in the third unit.
"Advisor!"
"Ahem, you should read more newspapers in the future!"
Centurion:......
Hubbard sighed and ordered the two most enthusiastic people, the one who claimed to have seen Chai Anping at the banquet, to go with him to identify him.
There are many elites in the Dauntless Vanguard. Although each unit is organized with a thousand people, the number of captains in it can be counted on both hands. They are simply equivalent to the centurions of ordinary troops. Harold was able to become the commander not only because of "Narr"
The surname "Sen" has the glory of his ancestors, also because of his own strong strength.
The three people following him were so happy that they almost didn't dance in front of the mournful comrades behind him.
"But wasn't Earl Shelley ordered to establish the first mage army? Why would he appear in a place like this with Miss Crown Guard?"
“You’ll know if you ask me then!”
Harold was not as excited as his subordinates. There was a hint of worry in his eyes, but he was actually still thinking about his mission.
Thousands of people in the third part of the Fearless Pioneer Battalion were divided into five rangers and dispersed into the ice fields and snowy mountains. They had an important mission!
But after several days of exploration, they still couldn't find the target Galen asked them to look for...
Chai Anping put his hands in his pockets and unabashedly looked at the cavalry surrounding the two people. Although these people were young, they were obviously veterans on the battlefield. They controlled the distance of the encirclement formed by the mounts extremely well.
Outside the attack range, it is guaranteed to be able to rush in front of you as soon as possible.
Lacus beside her didn't think so much. She held Chai Anping's hand nervously and stared at the boots under her feet.
Chai Anping smiled and scratched her palm, telling her not to panic.
Hubbard finally came over with his men. He was holding the waist badge he had received from the centurion. After being confirmed by his men like cheers, he took a few vague glances at Lux behind Chai Anping.
In comparison, he was more familiar with the flower of Demacia in the capital. Of course, given his status, it was impossible for him to have any interaction with Lux. At most, he had met a few times when Lux visited Galen.
"Earl Shelley, Miss Crownguard! General Hubbard Nelson, please forgive us for being rude. It is because the situation on the border is complicated and chaotic, and we have to be careful again and again!"
He saluted the two of them respectfully.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Lux breathed a sigh of relief, and Chai Anping also had a smile on his face.
"No need to be polite, I stand in front of everyone because I have something urgent and I want to inform the vanguard leader Galen..."
He took out four plaques from his pocket and told Hubbard about the incident he had encountered in the watchtower.
Chai Anping did not expect that Hubbard across from him would just stare at the cards in his hand, but his expression and words showed no surprise at all.
"To be honest, Earl Shelley, there have been many incidents of scouts on the border being frozen into ice sculptures recently, which has had a major impact on the transmission of intelligence. We, the third part of Dauntless Vanguard, are now tasked with finding the real culprits.
mission.”
Hubbard gritted his teeth and said: "There are various signs that this should be some kind of strange beast living in the ice sheet, but after we hunted many ice-type monsters, this situation still has not ended... and in addition to the violent energy at the scene
No other clues were left."
Of course there are no clues...
Chai Anping was silent, their enemies were always flying in the sky!
"Afterwards, we even began to think that this might be an incident caused by the war masons infiltrated by Noxus. We suspected..."
Chai Anping interrupted his speculation and said seriously: "I came here just to tell Galen Vanguard the truth about these attacks! It has nothing to do with the Noxians!"
"Have you found out the truth?!"
Hubbard suddenly raised his voice, and several uncontrollable exclamations came from the soldiers surrounding him.
Chai Anping smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Rather than saying that we found out the truth, it is better to say that the two of us came here after chasing 'it', and only then did we find out about the death of the scout."
"'It'?" Hubbard noticed Chai Anping's wording.
"Yes."
Chai Anping lowered his voice: "Our enemy is a dragon, a giant frost dragon."
"It is precisely because I was worried that the Fearless Vanguard Battalion did not know the enemy yet, so I hurried here with Lux to prevent the dragon from impacting the border defense line." Chai Anping said: "If the northern tribes take the opportunity to go south, I am afraid that the Fearless Vanguard will
The camp was also very difficult to deal with.”
Hubbard took a sharp breath, obviously immediately understanding what Chai Anping was worried about.
"This information must be passed back to the commander-in-chief immediately! And to Archduke Walsh who is guarding the north!"
Chai Anping and Lux looked at each other: "We are going with you. With our ability, we may be able to help... But I'm afraid we have to ask you to dedicate some people to help us with some things."
Chai Anping could imagine the expression of the hotel owner when he learned that they had not returned that night.
Two ordinary soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Battalion were replaced by a light mage and a warrior demigod who understood the meaning of form. No matter what, it was Galen's brother-in-law who made a profit!
"no problem!"
Suddenly knowing the goal of the mission, Hubbard was very anxious. After making simple arrangements, he quickly led the troops back.
An ice dragon!
In this severe winter, it will be a huge test for the border defense line!
