In the afternoon.

"Woo~Woo~"

The sound of a low horn sounded and spread through the reef fort and beyond.

Somewhere outside the reef fort, in the stables.

"Thorn, stab, ......"

Mario, the former senior ten-division commander, the captain of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment, and now the inferior centurion, the captain of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment, Mario, who couldn't see the captain at all, was stepping on a three-legged round stool, brushing his red war horse with a brush dipped in water.

"Thorn, stab, ......"

Halfway through the brush, Mario seemed to hear something, stopped moving, and turned his head to look out of the stable.

"Assemble, assemble the whole group!"

In the air, the shouts of the regiment commander were heard.

Without hesitation, he threw away the brush and jumped off the round bench, and Mario ran out of the stable, just as he saw a group of soldiers gathering in the open space of the barracks, and the regimental commander in battle armor was standing not far away.

The regimental commander noticed him, glanced at him, and beckoned, "All captains, come to my camp for a meeting." With that, he turned around and walked to the side.

"Yes. Mario gave a standard military salute and quickly followed.

After a while, he and nine other captains entered the regimental commander's tent.

The regiment commander didn't talk nonsense at all, and explained the departure time, marching route, and things to prepare very succinctly, and then squinted his eyes and said: "Each brigade, prepare on your own, set off in two hours, whoever falls behind will go and wait for me to whip." ”

In addition to weapons and equipment, it is also necessary to bring armaments, food, and clothing, because it is very likely that it will be a long-distance and long-term march, which is quite difficult.

Mario's eyes blinked, and he asked tentatively: "Commander, we are so well prepared, and we are marching to the northwest again, are we going to the Northern Wilderness or to Sika?"

The head of the regiment glanced at Mario and said without concealment: "Let's go to Shalin." ”

"Forehead ......"

"Go ahead and prepare, don't be verbose. ”

"Yes. ”

......

In the blink of an eye, two days later.

The Red Maple Cavalry Regiment followed the road, heading northwest, farther and farther away from the reef fort.

Mario's brigade, as the vanguard, opened the way five miles before the main force of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment and was alert to potential dangers.

The regimental commander had told Mario that their Red Maple Cavalry Regiment was the first to set off, so in the process of going to Shalin, there were various problems that could be encountered, including but not limited to routs, traps, and ambushes, so he had to be vigilant.

Mario's eyes widened at this time, and he kept scanning ahead, feeling a little complicated.

When the regiment commander arranged the marching battle plan, he had actually vaguely guessed that it was to go to Shalin, after all, the big event that happened to Char couldn't be concealed at all, and it had already spread all over the world.

However, the closer he got to Sharin, the more worried he became—about the outcome of the battle with Sharin.

At the beginning of the national war, he participated in almost the whole process, so he knew Richard's horror. It will definitely not be easy to attack such a person, to attack the sarin who has such a person.

In all likelihood, there will be heavy losses.

He wasn't too afraid of death, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to become a captain, but he was afraid that the Reef Fort forces would suffer heavy losses in the process of attacking Sharin, allowing the Sika people to take advantage.

But these things ...... General Sauron should have thought it all into account, and it shouldn't be that he is a captain who is worried......

"Whew-"

Taking a deep breath and retracting his slightly drifting thoughts, Mario's gaze fell to the end of the horizon. I don't know if it's an illusion, but he saw that there seemed to be a few black dots flashing there.

The next moment, he was sure that it was not an illusion, there were really countless black dots pouring from the horizon.

When you get closer, you can see clearly that there are many Alliance soldiers who fled in a hurry, obviously defeated from the front. I don't know exactly what happened, like a group of beggars, almost no one has weapons, and some people even lost their shoes.

At this time, the rout also saw them, and accelerated to approach as if they had seen a savior.

Mario maintained basic vigilance, asked his men to stop the rout dozens of meters away, and picked a person to come to him and ask, "Where are you from?"

"My lord, we escaped from the Limestone Territory, and we have been on the run for two days before we get here. ”

"Limestone Territory, which regiment are you stationed in the Limestone Territory?"

"Silver Cross Mixed Regiment. The other party replied honestly.

Mario frowned deeply and glanced at the other party, and the next moment his eyebrows trembled in fright, and his voice blurted out: "It's you!

"Huh?" the person being questioned was stunned, and also looked at Mario seriously, and after a while, he said in surprise, "Are you Mario-sama? Mario-sama, I actually saw you again, it was really fate." I'm so honored that you remember me. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Frank Dyce.

"Of course I remember you. Mario said to Frank, his hand already grasping his sword, and glancing in the direction Frank had fled.

Three years ago, he had fought side by side with Frank for a short time, and he had a very deep memory of Frank's bad luck physique - after all, how bad luck does a person have to be to be able to casually bump into Sika's entire team of demonic knights?

Although, later, the Demon Knight was led to the encirclement of the alliance and was eliminated, but it was also a life of death. Ever since then, he has made up his mind that he must be wary of people like Frank.

Looking at Frank, Mario didn't mean to reminisce at all, but asked seriously: "You guys fled in such a panic, is there a pursuer behind you?"

"There are indeed pursuers, it is Sharin's black horsemen, we are no match for them at all, we were defeated as soon as we met, and after that, we could only keep running away and ran here. Frank said with a sigh of relief, "Along the way, we also encountered several groups of friendly troops, and tried to join forces to fight back, but in the end they all turned into a group of escapers - the Black Rider is too powerful......"

Mario's inner sense of crisis rose, and his breathing became rapid, forcing him to interrupt Frank's words and ask, "Tell me, how far is the Black Rider from you?"

"Not really. Frank shook his head, "If we had followed, we would have died." They are not too fast, they should still be more than ten miles away, maybe they have been thrown off by us, adults don't have to worry too much. ”

As soon as Frank finished speaking, he saw Mario's lips twitch, his eyes shrunk, and he pulled out his long sword with a "brush", as if he was going to chop him alive.

"I ...... Thank you!" Mario shouted.

"Thank you for what I am doing...... Frank wondered, and halfway through his thoughts, he looked back at the road he had come from, and saw a group of men galloping towards them, and it was the black rider who was chasing them.

In his impression, the black horseman, who should have been more than ten miles away, didn't know when he suddenly accelerated to catch up, and the distance was less than two miles at this time.
