In a forest about seven or eight kilometers west of Cherez, a large contingent of private soldiers wearing various armor and holding various flags was slowly marching east. And this team is the coalition force that the Rhodok Kingdom went to Chelez to support.

At the head of the line, Count Atlas sat on his horse and shouted at the crowd behind him:

"Wisky, Wisky!"

Hearing the call of the lord, the chief of the city defense of Djerkhara, Wisky, hurriedly trotted to his side: "Good day, honorable lord, may I have anything to serve?" ”

Count Atlas struck the saddle with his whip with some impatience, and said with a cold face: 'It's too slow! If we continue like this, by the time we get to Chelez, the Salanders will definitely have their bows and crossbows waiting for us. Wisky, look at the map, how far we are from Cherez. “

Sitting on his horse, Wisky pulled out a map from the side of his saddle: "Yes, my lord!" According to the map, our army is less than three kilometers away from Cherez and is expected to arrive safely in two hours. “

When Count Atlas heard this, he looked at him with some surprise: "Oh? Is it only three kilometers? I thought it was still far away, but in this case, the order will go down, everyone will speed up, and when they get to Cherez, they can rest for a while! “

"Yes, my lord!"

Vysky saluted on his horse and turned to give orders to the soldiers in the group behind him.

Count Jhamil, who was standing on the side, rode on his horse and looked at this side with a smile: "Lord Atlas, you really don't have to worry so much. The people of Salander are different from us, they can't adapt to our mountain terrain quickly, so it is impossible for them to reach Chelez before us in any case, so you can rest assured! “

When Count Atlas heard his words, he couldn't save his face, so he laughed and said: Yes, yes, you said a lot, maybe it's really me who is too careful. But in the face of such a major war, I think no matter how cautious it is, it is not too much! ”

Before his laughter could stop, a faint sound of thunder suddenly sounded from the hillside in the distance.

Count Atlas frowned, waved his hand to Count Gehamor and his guards to follow, and rode to a hill on the side of the road where the team was marching, and looked forward with sharp eyes.

As the thunder drew nearer, Count Atlas suddenly noticed that at the end of the distant horizon where heaven and earth met, there seemed to be a black line slowly wriggling.

At first, the venerable Earl thought that he had been so exposed to the sun that he shook his eyes. But when he squinted his eyes vigorously and looked into the distance again, he suddenly noticed that the black line seemed to be thicker than the one he had just done.

One of the guards next to him also found the black line, and pointed his finger and shouted, "Look, what is that!" ”

Count Gehamor rode aside with a cold face, and whispered to himself: "What else can it be, it can only be a Salander!" ”

Count Atlas glared and looked back at him, and said loudly to the guards beside him: "Pass my order, everyone hurry up, be sure to rush to Chelez before the Salanders, stop their army, and never let any of them harm the people of Chelez, understand!" ”

"Yes, my lord!"

The guards received the order, but before they had time to salute, they turned and galloped down the hill.

Ignoring the soldiers who were rushing down the mountain to give orders, Count Atlas turned his gaze back to the east and muttered, "I hope I can catch up, or else...... I'm going to lose everything again. ”

………………

While the Rhodok reinforcements were still struggling through the mountains and forests three kilometers away, the Salanders were less than a kilometer away from Cherez.

At this time, in the eyes of the Cherles defenders, the black line in the eyes of Count Atlas had turned into a surging yellow wave, swept towards Chelez with the momentum of crushing everything, and the terrified militiamen were a little frightened to find that the ground under their feet was trembling slightly under the influence of this momentum.

"Boss, what to do! Let's run! ”

A pale Rhodok spearman cried out to the commander beside him, and beside him stood several militiamen with the same look as him, and they all had the same idea, which was to flee as soon as possible.

The militia officer glared back at them, and a big-eared melon seed that didn't remember the old feelings at all slapped him in the face: 'Bastard! Look back at yourselves and see what is that behind you? That's your family, friends, and your home! Are you really so afraid of death that you would rather run away like a dog, and abandon all this to be burned by the Salanders, rather than stay and stop them? Well, if you're willing to be a cowardly wild dog, then you go clubbing, I won't stop you! Think for yourself, whether you want to be everyone's hero or a spurned mongrel, you choose for yourselves! “

The soldier covered his face and said indistinctly: "But chief, you don't see for yourself!" There are at least 6,000 Salanders on the other side, and we have more than 100 militiamen here, and we are only old, weak, sick and disabled, how can we beat them! Even if you catch all of us and throw them into other people's ranks, you won't even be able to turn over a single flower! Boss, you're the only one left with your mother, think about it yourself! ”

When the militia officers heard his words, their hearts were a little shaken, after all, in the face of such a large gap in strength, it was really impossible for people not to feel afraid. After all, no one wants to die if they can live!

And just as the officer was about to give the order to evacuate, a local soldier pointed to the hill to the west and shouted in a sharp voice: "Reinforcements, reinforcements!" It's our people, and reinforcements have arrived! ”

The militia officer looked up in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he found a large group of people on the mountain, and looking at the armor style, it was really reinforcements that had arrived.

The officer's face was filled with hope again, and he excitedly shouted to the surrounding militiamen: "Brothers, do you see, our reinforcements have also arrived!" The kingdom has not forgotten us, and as long as we hold on for a while, we will surely usher in victory! At that time, what kind of reward will we receive as those who still stand still in the face of such a disparity in strength? It is estimated that it is not a dream to become a nobleman! Brothers, copy guys! ”

"Roar!" When the militiamen heard his words, they let out a beastly roar. In the presence of hope and interest, this insignificant group of militias has become respectable warriors.

And as they spoke, the Salanders got closer, so close that the militiamen standing on the wooden walls could barely see the hair on their faces. The dazzling cold light reflected the sky in front of you, and it was a dignified sword light!

A bloody battle is just around the corner!
