On the steppes of northern Xinjiang, a cavalry team with twenty-one horsemen was marching unhurriedly.

This is a somewhat peculiar combination of cavalry troops, and among the mounts under the crotch of the cavalry, except for a strange-looking demon-spotted hyena, the rest of the mounts are all wolves. And among the riders, who were almost all werewolves, a human figure suddenly appeared.

The grassland in midsummer has long faded from the shyness of spring and shows its enthusiastic and unrestrained side. Moistened by the alternating showers and sunshine of the summer rainy season, the grass and wildflowers of the grassland are rapidly growing and blooming everywhere. The wind blows through the grassland, like the undulating waves of the sea, with the fragrant fragrance of flowers, which makes the tired traveler can't help but feel excited.

The blade rode on the back of Hellroar, sniffing the refreshing scent of flowers and soothing the fatigue of the journey, as he looked at the only human man in the cavalry.

The human man was also riding on the back of a wolf, but the wolf beneath him was clearly resistant to a human riding on his back. He was extremely restless along the way, and on several occasions he almost knocked the human man off his back. Human men, on the other hand, always scrambled to stabilize their bodies so as not to fall to the ground. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the human man, the werewolves in the team erupted into a burst of playful laughter from time to time. From the laughter and amusement of the werewolves, it can be seen that although this human man is in the same group as the werewolves, the werewolves do not give him the slightest respect.

Soon after the 'Scarlet Training', the wolf cavalry team where Blade was located received a mission from the wing, but this mission was not a combat mission to follow the squadron or brigade into the grassland to sweep mercenaries and bandits as Blade expected, but an escort mission. The target of the escort mission is the human man in front of him, Edric.

Since Edric's defection to the Daily Mercenary Regiment, since he knows a lot about his old club, the Daily Mercenary Group has been trying to eliminate him, and the assassination has taken place several times in Warsong Castle. However, because the orcs were well aware of Edric's value and therefore protected him very closely, these assassination attempts were unsuccessful, and instead cost several assassins in the Daily Mercenary Regiment. Recently, the headquarters of the Bloodfang Cavalry Regiment sent an order to the 3rd Wing, asking the 3rd Wing to send Edric to the Boulder Fort, where the regimental headquarters is located, and the big men in the regiment should personally interrogate Edric, in order to obtain more detailed information about the daily mercenary group. In order to ensure Edric's safety on the way to Boulder Fort, the 3rd Wing gave the escort to the 4th Squad led by Dayan.

The wolf cavalry of the fourth squad were full of disdain and contempt for this traitor among the enemies, but their duty was to do their best to protect him.

The journey was safe and sound. Although the grasslands in northern Xinjiang are full of smoke and bandits, the number of more than 20 regular wolf cavalry of the Beamon Empire is enough to make most of the small ordinary bandit groups on the grassland stop and will not hit them with their ideas, not to mention that these wolf cavalry are equipped with iron armor that is rare in the cavalry of the Beamon Empire, which shows their identity as elite cavalry. Except, of course, those who have a heart.

Behind the cavalry, there was a sudden sound of brushing and running. The whole cavalry suddenly stopped, and the wolf cavalry looked back in unison, and their right hand touched the hilt of the sword at their waist.

The half-human-tall weeds fell apart on either side, and a tall chocosurfing ostrich came into view. The land ostrich, with its strong legs, ran like a fly, and rushed straight towards the wolf cavalry. The choking sound of the blade rubbing against the scabbard continued to sound, and the wolf cavalry turned their heads and drew their sabers at their waists. At this moment, the galloping land ostrich raised its head, let out a high-pitched chirp, and stopped more than ten meters away from the front of the cavalry. At this time, the wolf cavalry discovered that on the back of the ostrich sat a bearded dwarf wearing heavy plate armor and a half-concealed helmet.

"Who are you?" asked a young werewolf as he stepped out of the crowd and shouted at the dwarf.

Dwarves are a notoriously hot-tempered race, and this one is no exception. After he glanced at everyone, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Uncle is in a hurry, what, Uncle wants to pass by this road, can't you? Could it be that you plan to block the road and rob?"

The young werewolf who asked was also a fierce character, and after being robbed by the dwarf, his face was suffocated at first, and then his face flashed sharply, and he scolded: "Dwarf, you are looking for death!" After speaking, he swung his knife and pounced on the dwarf.

Since the dwarf suddenly appeared, Dayan's brows couldn't help frowning, and then he saw his subordinates rushing out, and after opening his mouth, he finally didn't stop his subordinates, and he also wanted to weigh the dwarf who didn't know where he came from.

"Damn, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, it seems that I really met a robbery! Bad luck!" the dwarf spat as he removed a sharp tooth-filled and hideous hammer hanging from the ostrich's saddle, and slammed it at the wolf cavalry.

The sword and the hammer collided together, and the young werewolf couldn't withstand the dwarf's strength, and the wolf under his crotch took a few steps back, his arm was sore and trembling, and he almost let go of the war knife.

"Rookie, with this skill, you still dare to fight with Uncle Ben?" After the dwarf gained the upper hand, he let out a burst of arrogant laughter, and then carried a heavy hammer, turned the head of the land walking ostrich, and ran away in the way he came.

"You're a brass!" Edric suddenly exclaimed, looking at the dwarf's back in the distance. Due to the half-covered helmet worn by the dwarf, Edric did not recognize the former companion of the Day-Hunting Mercenary Regiment at first.

"Edric, you shameful traitor, this journey to Boulder Fortress is your journey to the end of the world, and the Elders of the Order will come to take your life himself! You and the beasts guarding you are waiting to die together!" The dwarf's provocative voice came from the wind, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

When several wolf cavalrymen heard this, their faces changed in an instant. They were about to rush out and chase after the dwarves, but Dayan stretched out his hand to stop them: "Don't chase, be careful of the ambush!" After listening to Dayan's words, the wolf cavalry had to stop stupidly.

Dayan turned his head to look at the young werewolf who was fighting with Copperbeard at this time, and said with a straight face: "Beta, you have just entered the team, and you are the most junior recruit, and when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you don't need to take the lead." ”

"Yes, brother. Beta bowed her head in shame. He was Dayan's younger brother and had only recently moved from an Imperial Reserve wolf cavalry to active duty. One of Dayan's squad was killed in 'Scarlet Training' and needed to be replenished with a new one, and Beta happened to be in his brother's squad. On an errand under his brother, the young Beta wanted to show something and have a long face for his brother, so after the dwarf appeared just now, he would take the initiative, but he didn't expect to lose the upper hand in the fight, but he lost face to his brother.

"Everyone cheered up, and the journey ahead was not so peaceful. Dayan admonished everyone in a deep voice.

"Do it yourself?" heard the dwarf's shout as he left, the blade gently rubbed against the scabbard at his waist, and two flames burned in his eyes. After killing Rosen, Senna's daimyo was already thunderous throughout the northern steppes, and Blade's heart was full of anticipation for such an enemy.

And in a small forest kilometers away from Blade and the others, about thirty or so mercenaries were waiting silently. Senna rode on the back of a huge white tiger and watched silently ahead. He carried a dark green longbow with a faint glow on his shoulder, and a pot of feathered arrows on his back. On the emerald green arrow shaft, countless tiny magic runes flew around. Whether it's a longbow or an arrow, it's a magic weapon of good quality.

After the turmoil in the North Sea passed, Senna returned to Fort Glory from Senjin Village with Copperbeard and others, and Stephanie was also clamoring to leave Senjin Village and fight the grassland with Senna. However, Senna remembered that Stephanie was still young, and that she was talented in swordsmanship, and did not want her to be distracted and delay her swordsmanship training, so he did not agree to her. Stephanie immediately quarreled, and in the end Senna had to compromise, and the two made an agreement that they would follow Stephanie when she entered the level of a sixth-level swordsman and had enough self-protection ability. In this way, the girl was appeased and continued to stay in Senjin Village.

As soon as he returned to Fort Glory, Senna began to deal with the mountain of affairs that had accumulated in the mercenary group. And this is the first thing, the mercenary group has already missed the mission to assassinate the traitor Edric more than once.

When the Daily Mercenaries received the news that Edric was going to Boulder Castle, Senna decided to take matters into his own hands this time and finish off Edric on the way.

A land-chocosurfing ostrich appeared in the grassland ahead.

"Chief, it's Edric, there's probably a small team of werewolves escorting him. When the chocosurfer ran into the grove like the wind, the dwarf on the bird's back said loudly.

The black elf on the back of the white tiger nodded, and with a pat of the white tiger, the white tiger immediately bowed and jumped out of the woods and ran towards the depths of the grassland. Behind him, the mercenaries also drove their mounts out of the woods.

The sky was getting darker, and the stars began to shine above the deep canopy.

Since the appearance of the dwarves, Dayan and his party have quickened their pace, but until nightfall, there has been no expected enemy attack.

"It's getting late, it's been a day's journey today, everyone is tired, find a place to rest for the night, and set off again tomorrow morning!" Dayan looked up at the rising crescent moon, stopped the wolf, and said to the wolf cavalry behind him.
