Frank's face turned pale.

Mario looked at Frank angrily and angrily, but he knew in his heart that it wasn't Frank's fault. He glared at Frank, looked at his subordinates, and shouted, "Let the defeated soldiers stand back, and the rest of the men assemble and prepare for battle." ”

"Yes. ”

Mario's entire squad of cavalry quickly broke away from the rout, gathered together on the road, and looked at the attacking black horsemen with their weapons in hand.

Speaking of which, the number of black horsemen rushing to attack was not much, and there was less than a complete brigade, only more than fifty people.

But no matter how small the number of black horsemen is, they are also magic-clad knights, and no matter how many of them are, they are only elite cavalry.

They definitely couldn't stop these black horses, and they could only hope that the main force of the Red Maple Regiment behind them would be able to respond in time.

I hope so......

Biting his lip, Mario instigated his horse and took the lead to meet the black rider a few hundred meters away, already having the will to die. At this moment, he forgot about the entanglement of attacking sarin, and only the simplest thought of being a soldier in his mind - to fight, to live or to die.

"Rush with me!" Mario roared, leading his men closer and closer to the Black Rider.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters.

Approaching within a hundred meters, Mario could clearly see the magic patterns on the Black Knight's armor, and saw the light on the lines.

Sweat oozed from his palms, he gritted his teeth and gritted his weapon, plucking up his strength to swing it down.

But in the next moment, his eyes widened and he saw an unexpected scene—the mighty black horseman, who suddenly took the initiative to avoid it, turned his horse's head sharply, turned to the left side of the road, and avoided engaging them.

This is...... Black Rider scared?

Mario was stunned, but quickly realized that this was not the case. The Black Rider was not afraid, but did not regard him as a real opponent, and the real opponent was ......

Mario looked in the direction facing the black knight, and saw about five hundred blue armored cavalry roaring from the direction of the reef fort, a few hundred meters away from the black knight, the armor lit up with a dark purple light, dazzling and dangerous.

This is none other than the Knights in Costume at Reef Fort.

His team is true as an open-lane striker, but obviously, he is not the only open-lane striker, there are the rest of the team.

Then next, it is obviously a battle between the knights in magic costumes, and as an ordinary cavalryman, he is not qualified to participate.

That's fine, after all, he doesn't want to die like this.

Mario calmed down, waved his hand and instructed his men to turn their horses around and head towards the way they came, escorting the remnants to meet the main force of the cavalry regiment and telling the regimental commander what had happened here.

Since you can encounter half a brigade of black horsemen here, it means that the road ahead has been substantially occupied by sarin, and the marching army must be vigilant.

Thinking so, his eyes caught a glimpse of the Black Knights of Sarin as they began to charge, and then collided with the Blue-Armored Demon Knight of Reef Fort.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

The two sides fought with all their might, blood splattered, penetrated each other's formations, rushed out of a distance, exchanged positions, and stopped.

As a result of the fight, the Blue Armor Knights of Reef Fortress were slightly inferior, and more people were killed and injured - almost half of the Black Riders fell, and the Blue Armor Knights of Reef Fortress were about thirty percent more.

It's just that after all, there are a lot of blue-armored demon knights in Reef Fort, and the loss of more than thirty people still seems to be so many, while the black knights are only a few dozen people left, and they are a little lonely.

The lone black knight, without any retreat, mechanically turned his horse's head and launched a second charge towards the knight in the Reef Fortress.

The blue-armored demon knight of the reef fort unceremoniously faced the battle.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

Another fight, after which the Blue-Armored Knights of Reef Fortress lost nearly twenty men, and the Blackknights were the only survivors.

The leader of the blue-armored demon knights glanced at the last black knight, pulled up his mask, and said, "Surrender, you can avoid death." ”

The Black Rider remained silent, not knowing if he hadn't heard it, or if he didn't want to respond.

Two seconds later, the black knight instigated his horses, accelerated, charged, and approached more than 400 blue-armored demon knights of the reef fort, and slashed them with all their might.

"Poof!"

The Black Knight managed to slash his weapon into the body of one of the blue-armored knights of the Reef Fort, but more swords pierced into his body as well.

"Poof!"

The blue-armored knights of Reef Castle drew their swords back, and the black rider shook from his horse, falling straight to the ground, not struggling, but turning over with difficulty, clutching his wounds and dying silently—not even screaming.

Mario looked at these with the rest of his eyes, and felt a little wary in his heart - as if a dead black rider was more dangerous than a living black rider.

Why?

Mario pondered and found the reason, it was the indifference of the black knight to death in the battle that shocked him.

Maybe in the same environment, he can be as fearless as the black knight to face several times his own enemies and die, but he will definitely not be so calm, and he will definitely not even roar and scream.

It's terrible, is this still human?

Could this be the Spark people who came out of the Northern Wilderness?

If Shalin's army is like this, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to attack Shalin next.

Mario's heart sank a little.

......

A little later.

On the side of the marching road of the Reef Fort army, the camp where they were temporarily stationed, inside a seemingly ordinary white military tent.

Many staff officers and clerks are busy, and this has become a temporary military staff headquarters. Sauron, the god of war, stood in front of a hanging map, squinting as a young staff officer reported the latest situation behind him.

"General, according to the statistics of the various forward troops, we have gathered about 10,000 defeated troops at present, and it is expected that it will continue in the next two days, and the final number may exceed 30,000. The young staff officer said.

Sauron looked at the map and asked without looking back, "How is the state of the rout?"

"Morale is very low, and it is difficult to fight without reorganization and training. The staff officer responded.

"Then disperse them to the rear and let them do some auxiliary work. Sauron said.

"Yes, General. The staff officer nodded, "But, general, how can we solve the military rations of these routs in the past few days? This time, we have asked each unit to carry their own military rations with them, and there is no extra share to give to them, and they have even lost all their weapons, and it is impossible for them to still carry food." ”

"Let's get together temporarily, let the troops appropriately reduce some consumption, and give them some points. After a few days, the grain route will be established, and the grain will be able to continue to be transported from the rear to the front. ”

"Yes. The staff officer answered, turned and walked out.

At this time, Sauron turned his head, looked at another elderly staff officer, and asked, "What's the news from Sika?"

"The informant reported that Sika was surprised by Char's affairs and our actions, but it was only an accident. On the market, the price of grain did not increase, the price of the rest of the goods was also more or less stable, and only a small part of the army was mobilized, mainly for the sake of precaution. The senior staff officer said quickly.

"So, because it happened so suddenly, Sika hasn't reacted yet. Sauron raised an eyebrow, "Or, they have already reacted, but they chose to wait and watch for the time being—this is also the most reasonable, after all, it is difficult for them to bear the defeat of the national war again, and if they really want to tear up the treaty, they must choose a time when we and Sarin have suffered heavy losses." ”
