In Yecheng, a team of well-trained men and horses were passing through the city gate in an orderly manner, and the people on the side of the road consciously made way for this group of people and cast envious eyes on them.

The leader of this team is an old man of half a hundred, although he is quite old, but his mental appearance is like that of a young man, with powerful arms, holding the reins, and a stern expression with the men and horses behind him passing through the city gate one after another.

The number of this group of people is only about nine, but the armor on their bodies is estimated to weigh forty or fifty catties, with a short sword pinned to the left side of the armor waist, a dagger pinned to the right, a longbow or a repeater on the back, and a unified red tasseled spear in the hand, except for the old man who is holding a simple big knife in the hand, the remaining eight people are all configured like this.

The horses under the crotch, even if you look at a country like the Beigen Empire with several horse farms, belong to the top and even the top grade, after all, even the human armor weighs nearly two hundred catties, not to mention the series of weapons worn on the body, as well as the layer of heavy horse armor that the horses are wearing, can move freely under these weights and do not see any tired horses, looking at the mainland, only the Beigen Empire can cultivate horses of this level.

The banner of the Beigen Empire has always been cloud blue, so the armor on these nine people is also cloud blue as the main color, and red is the secondary color, and it looks powerful from a distance.

Although the number of these nine people is scarce, the status of the nine of them in the Beigen Empire is quite high.

On the northern steppe, there are many scattered tribes, some of which are located in remote areas, so the Beigen Empire has always turned a blind eye to their rule, so that those tribes slowly developed a rebellious heart, but this unruly heart did not come out for a long time, and something happened that made these tribes on the grassland never dare to have bad intentions about the Beigen Empire from now on.

That is, the Beigen Empire only sent nine iron horsemen to level eighteen tribes, although the total number of these eighteen tribes together is not as good as a finger of the northern barbarians, but with only the number of nine people, the eighteen small tribes that were fought were all destroyed, which is simply an unprecedented miracle.

It was only later that I learned that the true identities of these nine people were actually a major killer weapon that the Beigen Empire had been secretly cultivating for the past two generations.

First of all, among these nine people, the lowest cultivation is also a seventh-grade monk, and the seventh-grade monk is not yet thirty years old!

Of the remaining eight people, seven of them are all veteran eight-rank monks who have been immersed in the eight-rank monks for many years, and their ages are basically in their thirties and forties, as for the person at the head, that is, the old man, his strength has always been a mystery that the Beigen Empire has been hiding and covering, intentionally or unintentionally.

Some people speculate that the old man's cultivation is at least a nine-rank monk, of course, this guess is also considered by everyone to be the lowest grade, because it makes an empire like the Beigen Empire try its best to conceal and cover the characters, if the cultivation is less than the ninth grade, it is a little too much to say, not to mention, this person himself is the boss of the legendary nine.

More opinions are that this person's cultivation has reached the level of a top monk, and he may even have touched the threshold of the grandmaster, otherwise how can he convince the remaining eight people?

As for these nine-person group, in the eyes of outsiders, the most powerful record is that nine people and nine horses chased the tribal warriors on a thousand grasslands, and the more than 1,000 people didn't even dare to fight back, and it took two days and two nights in the end.

More than 1,000 people, all destroyed.

The group of nine, none of them died, and the youngest one was slightly injured, and the reason for his injury was because of the long-distance attack, which caused the horse armor to wear out the root of his thigh, and he was slightly injured, but other than that, the more than 1,000 people did not pose any threat to them.

This concept can be taken as an example of the previous Kumu group.

Kumu, suddenly laughed at the two of them, facing the Nanli local army of no more than 100 people, the initial idea was only to fight back first and then take the opportunity to escape, if the two of them were tough, the two of them did not have that confidence.

When there were more than a dozen people in the feather forest black riding behind, these two people turned pale, because the two of them subconsciously understood that they couldn't even run away if they wanted to this time.

The Feather Forest Black Rider is indeed very bullish, but compared to these nine people, the suppression power of the Feather Forest Black Ride is not as good as this nine-person group, of course, the number of Feather Forest Black Riders can destroy these nine people, but the damage will be relatively large.

It is true that Kumu's cultivation at that time was a fourth-grade monk, and he suddenly smiled at a third-grade monk, but the combat strength of the two of them could be won in the face of ordinary monks of the same level, but in the face of a hundred local troops, they could only temporarily avoid their front, and it was difficult to resist in the face of a dozen or so Yulin Black Cavalry.

This is the main reason why, even if the Nanli Empire has such a supreme master who transcends the continent cultivators, it can still only deter the countries, but it has no way to send troops to attack the countries.

No matter how strong you are, it's just one person, a sword, and the countries can pile you to death just by numbers, but the countries at that time were not aligned, and they didn't trust each other, and the Nanli army also won the victory on the frontal battlefield, so it could only be stopped.

The monks are powerful, they can be deterred and suppressed, but they cannot become the most fundamental combat power of an empire.

If there were no excellent marshals and generals like Zhou Dunyi, the old marshal of the Bai family and Bai Qi in the Nanli Imperial Army, if there were no fame among the several main battle corps that had been famous for a long time, you would just look at the uneven wind, so that the mainland countries would really be safe and not dare to do anything against Nanli for more than ten years?

Impossible, the military strength of the Nanli Empire itself is strong, but this strength has not reached the glory of the past.

This is why, when the nine-member group fought hard from the grassland, many people were shocked.

Nine people and nine horses, chasing an army of thousands of people, and fighting on the opposite side without the strength to fight back, in the world's cognition, this is simply an impossible thing, of course, it is acceptable for nine top monks to do this kind of thing.

But this group of nine is not, even the old man has always been only suspected of being a top monk, and has never obtained tangible evidence.

One nine-pin, seven eight-pin, and one seven-pin, chased an army of 1,000 people for two days and two nights to annihilate the whole army.

After the first war, the reputation of the nine horsemen of Yandi was completely launched on the mainland.

What's more, in this era when the cavalry system has been thoroughly studied on the surface of all countries, the mainland countries and even the three southern countries have long known that the cavalry will be the mainstream branch of the Central Plains and even the north, and the status of the cavalry in the military branch is unshakable.

Perhaps in the southern continent, because of the terrain, the role that cavalry can play has been greatly reduced, but what kind of countries are the three southern countries?

The Xikun Dynasty, the most powerful of the five dynasties on the continent today, has the most likely to attack the fourth empire.

Nanli Empire, 5,000 years of empire, the glory of the past radiated the entire continent, although the strength is not as good as before, but it is still a powerful old empire that dare not be underestimated, you don't see the last battle suffered by Nanli, that is to let the three major dynasties and two empires, including the Central Plains, all join forces to attack, although the Beigen Empire and the Dongxun Empire in the contribution is negligible, but this kind of vast offensive, but Nanli was forced to repulse, which does not prove that Nanli now has a strong national strength?

The Dongxun Empire, one of the three major empires, the youngest imperial country, has achieved the position of the empire in a hundred years of history, and the virtuous Taihao Fuxi clan is immortal, and the Dongxun Empire will always be firmly seated in the position of the empire.

With these three countries on the southern continent, will the war in their eyes be limited to just one place in the south?

Their ambition will only be to look at the entire continent, and their journey will be the Central Plains and the Northern Continent in the future.

Cavalry is the branch of the army that they will have to come in handy sooner or later.

The black ride of the feather forest in the south is the most powerful proof.

However, as a southern country, cavalry is their natural weakness.

There is no fixed horse farm in the south, and those Yunnan horses are far from meeting the standards of military horses, not to mention that the south does not have the same horse penetration rate as the north.

The people of the continent have always been inferior to the tribal warriors of the northern steppes, because they are natural riders, and they have to learn to master the horses under their crotch at an early age.

Among the mainland countries, the Beigen Empire may be regarded as the pioneer of cavalry, but when it comes to the ancestral master, the tribal warriors on the grassland are worthy of being the cavalry ancestor.

The most obvious example is that the Beigen Empire now has several well-known cavalry legions, of which more than fifty percent of the cavalry are tribal warriors from the grassland, and the Beigong people who were born and raised in the Beigen Empire may only occupy about thirty percent.

The tactics and system of the cavalry, the Beigen Empire has now studied it thoroughly, leaving the ancestors, that is, those tribes on the grassland, behind, but the basic quality of the cavalry, this is a difficult thing to catch up.

However, the nine Yandi cavalry from the Beigen Empire chased the ferocious thousand-man warriors on the grassland and ran all over the grassland.

The treatment of this Yandi Nine Horsemen in the Beigen Empire has naturally become special.

The people of Beigen all have the extravagant hope of wanting to join the Nine Cavalry and become the tenth horseman, and the big families of Beigen do not dare to make any stumbling blocks on this Yandi Nine Horsemen, because the influence of their nine people in the Beigen Empire is becoming more and more huge, and they have gradually become the object of their need to think twice and decide to win over.

The era when the Beigen Empire was controlled by the family has been in power for hundreds of years, similar to the former Zhongjin Dynasty, at this time, Emperor Gen has become a dispensable figure, and it is time to start several major families to divide such a huge force as the Beigen Empire.

But why, by now, these great families have not shown such a meaning? And they are also polite to that Emperor Gen, although the power will still not be given to him, but they still dare not treat this majesty slowly, the main reason is.

This Yandi Nine Horsemen is a staunch royalist.

Yes, it is the last two generations of Emperor Gen who cultivated this Yandi Nine Riders, and the two generations of Emperor Gen were firmly controlled by several major families in China and could not be personally recruited, but because of the precedent of the Zhongjin Dynasty, it also led to the fact that these two generations of Emperor Gen did not dare to be sloppy, for fear that they would destroy the ancestral foundation in their own hands, so the training program of the Yandi Nine Riders secretly became a royal taboo passed down by Emperor Gen in modern times.

At the beginning, this Yandi Nine Horsemen was named under a prince in several major families, and he loyally worked for this prince, which made this prince have a good life cultivation for these nine promising guys.

After two generations of Emperor Gen, by the time the current Emperor Gen ascended the throne, this Yandi Nine Horsemen had changed from a young man to a middle-aged man, and the oldest had become a half-hundred old man.

At that time, they had just obtained the record that made them gods in a battle.

After returning to the capital of Beigen, they no longer endured the humiliation and concealment, stood up, and firmly changed their identity into royalists.

Because they can see that if they drag on like this, the day when the Beigen Empire will fall apart is not far off.

Therefore, even if it is to fight for the danger they are exposed in advance, let the nine of them give the Northern Gen royal family a shot in the arm.

After the matter was exposed, the prince who had vigorously supported their nine-person group, also because of the betrayal of the main combat force, quickly withdrew from the center of the ruling circle of several major families, and was slowly eaten away by the rest of the major families.

And Emperor Gen has slowly, from being despised to being snubbed by the slaves and maids in the palace, although the monarchy is still not grasped at all, but at least the respect and status that should be had, this Emperor Gen has already obtained.

It can be said that with the current state of the Beigen Empire, the country of Beigen has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, plus the prestige of this Yandi Nine Horsemen in the Beigen Empire now.

It is impossible for several great families to reproduce the incident of the Middle Jin Dynasty back then.

Of course, if the Yandi Nine Cavalry disappeared, it would still be possible for the Beigen Empire to follow the old path of the Middle Jin Dynasty.

In the hands of several great families, it is not a monk without top combat power, and they have also sent a top combat power monk to eliminate the Nine Horsemen of Yandi.

But in the end, the top combat strength monk dragged his seriously injured body and escaped.

Yandi Nine Horses, separated, he can be eliminated, but if the Nine Horses are combined, he will definitely not be an opponent, unless he reaches the height of the uneven wind, otherwise.

Either the great families will hold the momentum of breaking the cauldron and sending out all the top combat power cultivators in their hands, and the nine horsemen of Yandi will inevitably be wiped out, there is no doubt about it.

But with that comes the price of one or two top-notch combat power cultivators will fall.

This kind of thing, how could several great families do it, how could they guarantee that the top combat power monks who fell later were not their own families, in case the top combat power monks of their own families fell, then there was no doubt that they would lose a strong hole card, and when the later families divided the Beigen Empire, their best outcome would be that the place they would be assigned would be smaller.

The worst outcome is that they will end up worse than the prince.

The identity of that prince is placed there, the blood of the Beigen royal family, it can't die, they are different, they have reached that point, death is inevitable.

Therefore, this trade-off of interests was finally firmly controlled by Yandi Jiuqi in the palm of his hand.

If you want to upset this balance, okay, then you families must be prepared to be replaced by us with one or two top combat powers.

Just kidding, when did the family become so generous and self-sacrificing, they have struggled for so many generations, and have held this huge power for nearly a hundred years, how could they be willing to gamble because of this unknown?

The top combat power monk is not a cabbage, and the status of the family no longer has to listen to the arrangement of the family, the family will let you die, and it is possible for the irascible top combat power monk to kill you, the head of the family, with a backhand.
