Under the blood-soaked sunset, the clear water of the river was also reflected red, and even the fish that were clearly visible in the water were gilded with a layer of golden red.

As the ripples rippled, the golden-red fish was frightened and quickly swam away.

A black steed was drinking, and after drinking it happily, the steed raised its head and snorted happily.

A man in armor stood beside it, smiled and patted it on the back, and said, "Well, this water is clear and sweet, is it better than the turbulent and fishy water of Sennar?" ”

The dark horse of the divine steed paused, then shook its head, droplets of water splashing from its mouth.

"Yo, it's kind of nostalgic." The man with stubble on his chin and vicissitudes in his eyes smiled, then bent down to take a handful of water and began to clean his helmet.

The silver-gray helmet had some smudges on it, as well as bloodstains, and several obvious scratches, the deepest of which almost pierced the helmet, and it seemed that through this depression, you could see how sharp and powerful the previous arrow was.

This helmet is not an ordinary helmet, but a well-made dark iron helmet with the blessing of magic patterns, and only generals with the rank of Grand Knight Commander and above can obtain such equipment.

It stands to reason that there will not be so many scratches on such a helmet, because the general's helmet is made of solid materials, well-made, inlaid with Nanian stones, with a miniature defensive array blessed by the Nianshi, and a magic pattern carved by the archmage, which greatly enhances the magic resistance. Therefore, ordinary blades, arrows, and even spells cannot leave a trace on this helmet at all.

Moreover, no general would have been subjected to so many attacks, and generals should have been in command of their men and horses in battle, and few generals would venture to the front line.

But this man's helmet was like this, as if it had accompanied him through countless swords, swords, shadows, frost, rain and snow.

A younger man approached from behind, glanced at the helmet, and said with some emotion and admiration: "Such a solid helmet has become like this, who would believe that this dark iron helmet was given to you by His Majesty the Emperor only two months ago?" ”

The man with a resolute face and vicissitudes in his eyes smiled lightly and said, "After all, the battles fought in the past two months are almost catching up with my previous military career of more than ten years." ”

The young sergeant spoke: "The teacher asked me to remind you, don't take the lead anymore, after all, thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and now the battle situation is a critical moment, and the 20,000 troops on the northern front can't do without you." ”

The general washed his helmet, stood up, looked at the other side of the river, and saw a huge military town three kilometers away, and said: "But our opponent is a behemoth, and I will take the lead in the charge, which will make the soldiers more able to arouse the courage in their hearts." ”

The young man persuaded again: "Don't underestimate our Jeno warriors too much, and don't overestimate your opponents. ”

"Although this giant beast has been riddled with diseases, the sound of its iron hooves for decades still seems to echo in my ears." The middle-aged general narrowed his eyes, there was a bit of awe in his eyes, but there was also a majestic battle intent.

He saw the bright red banner of the military town, which was blown by the strong wind and fluttered by the hunt.

Rosen.

Pushing back from four months ago, it seems that Rosen's iron hooves have not resounded on the mainland for fifty years, the emperor sits on the country, actively befriends with his neighbors, has never lost a place, has never conquered a city, and Rosen seems to be a strong and friendly state in everyone's hearts.

But history remembers clearly, and the older generation also has deep memories in their minds, and all the soldiers on the source continent must also remember how powerful and terrifying Rosen spread the war across half the continent fifty years ago. At that time, as long as it was pointed out by Lawson's iron hooves, it was invincible and invincible.

Before that, Rosen was only a principality, and there were two other principalities on the continent that were not weak, the Duchy of Manxi and the Duchy of Vero.

The Duchy of Manxi has a strong military force and a multiplicity of scientific and technological talents, with countless kinds of giant crossbows, magic cannons, city-level defense arrays, and thick and towering walls, claiming to be the most impregnable country.

Although the Duchy of Velo in the north is small in size and its geographical location is cold all year round, the Velo people are naturally warlike, with hot and boiling blood in their bones, and have the firmest will and the spirit of not admitting defeat, and are called barbarians that no one dares to provoke.

But one day, Rosen turned his iron horse into a torrent of steel and began to sweep the east of the continent.

No matter how high the walls are, they will be crushed by iron hooves, no matter how perfect their formations will be broken by iron hooves, no matter how proud a warrior will become a member of the corpses everywhere, and even the most tenacious will will be dominated by fear.

In the space of three years, two historic principalities disappeared from the map, and an empire rose to prominence.

If it weren't for the fact that it seriously affected the balance of the continent, the divine court had to intervene to mediate, and several hidden masters in the Duchy of Manhi jointly assassinated Emperor Rosen, causing the emperor to be seriously injured. Maybe in a few years, Rosen will really urge the iron hoof to break the west of the continent again.

Not long after, the emperor who had conquered the world died of illness, and the throne passed into the hands of the previous emperor, Zesr. Zesl was the complete opposite of his father, who was destined to go down in history, but he was just an ordinary emperor, and Rosen's iron hooves barely ran in his hands. Occasionally, several rebellions were also based on Huairou, and if they could, they would not be killed.

Rosen was completely quiet, and even took the initiative to show goodwill to other countries, which relieved the Duchy of Jeno, which was waiting for him every day.

It wasn't until four months ago that Jersey succeeded to the throne, and with the assistance of Mais, he overrode the crowd, suppressed the border of Geno, instigated the seven tribes northwest of Jeno to rebel, and personally led the Templar cavalry to attack the banks of the Sennar!

In one fell swoop, the world was shocked.

However, Rosen's new emperor was ultimately defeated on the banks of the Sennar.

Among them, there is the flexible response of Boyo, the fierce resistance of the 3,000 warriors of Sennar led by General Kegre, and the support of Jiang Ling, Song Wei and Huang Lie, the three Skywalkers, but the most important thing is that the Tsing Yi military division saw through Lawson's plan in advance and snuffed out Lawson's offensive at the last moment. Seventh Templar Tiger was killed, and New Jersey fled back to his homeland.

Then, Rosen was in civil strife, and several cabinet ministers jointly rebuked the new emperor for his audacity, and then several elders were imprisoned, and some were directly executed. The two Templar chiefs were furious and demanded a reasonable explanation for the defeat in the Battle of Sennar, and then the two Templar chiefs were imprisoned one after another, and in an instant, Lawson's military and political affairs were in chaos.

At this time, the Tsing Yi military division united with the Duchy of Rey in the southwest, gathered 200,000 troops to attack the Rosen Empire, and in just two and a half months, the once invincible Rosen Empire lost nine battles in a row and lost seven cities.

Just three days earlier, the northern front of Kegre and Beryo had broken through a 30,000-strong Rosen force and penetrated the second line of defense northeast of Rosen.

It was also in that battle that he took the lead in attacking the enemy formation, and was thrown off his horse by a ballista that left a dent in his helmet and nearly killed.

But he got back on his horse and once again entered the battle to personally slash one of Rosen's famous knights.

This "farming general", who had been stationed on the bank of the Sennar River for three years and led his soldiers to fish in the river and retreat to the fields and farms, was only known to the world during the first battle of the Sennar, and in the fierce battle of these two months, Kegree shocked the world with his tenacious and fearless but extremely calm fighting style.

At this time, Kegre squinted his eyes and looked at the military town on the other side of the river, and his heart was still a little heavy. Because this Beihong military town is an important town in the northeast of Lawson, it is well-armed, has a solid camp, and has secret information, the Fifth Templar Captain Vasad has led 3,000 Templars to reach this place.

This place is near the river and the mountain, it is the northeast throat of Lawson, if this town can be captured, then the northeast door of Lawson is wide open, so both the enemy and us attach great importance to this place.

There were 30,000 elite soldiers under Kegret and Boyo, but they could only camp ten miles apart, across the river, and be ready to retreat at any time.

Kegre stared at the military town, as if he wanted to see through how many cultivators lurked in it, and how many ballistas were placed that could pierce through iron shields.

At this moment, a flying arrow came at him quickly, and Kegre turned his head instantly, causing the arrow to pass through his ear, although the arrow did not hit his ear, but the strong wind carried by the arrow made his ears buzz, enough to show how powerful the arrow was.

Without changing his face, he quickly took off his longbow from his saddle, and the next moment he took the arrow in his hand and shot it back in the direction where it was flying.

Then Kegre patted the horse on the back and turned back.

Boyo also said, "Found by the scouts, let's go." ”

Several of his own soldiers supported the forward movement and began to retreat vigilantly.

Boyo retreated, glanced back at the other side of the river, and said, "The Fifth Templar Chief, Vasad, is the archmage of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, and he has 3,000 Templar cavalry under his command, plus 20,000 heavy troops in Beihong Military Town itself, this kind of military strength is not something we can deal with head-on. And this is only the military power clearly known in intelligence, maybe there are still many masters in the secret. ”

Kegre nodded and said, "Wait for the arrival of the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the old General Case and the three mage battalions tomorrow, and then discuss the attack." ”

"We need to be prepared today, although the teacher mobilized Rey's Zhengbei Army to feign a southward encirclement to deter the Beihong Army Town from taking the initiative to attack. However, it is not ruled out that the other party can see through the plan or take a risky blow. This river is only ten zhang wide, and although the bridge has been demolished, if several Heavenly Transformation Realm ice mages join forces, they can build an ice bridge in a very short time. ”

Kegre imagined for a moment that if the enemy's 3,000 gold-armored Templars rushed in a formation on the glacier, even Jeno's 30,000 warriors would not be able to resist easily.

Kegree ordered: "Scout patrol along the river for fifty miles, and send a bluebird to pass a letter to the old General Case every hour to verify the location." ”

Boyo added: "Send the Blue Bird to the Northern Army of Rey, and let them play their tricks." ”

Several people got on their horses and ran back to the camp, but they got very unfortunate news.

"General Case was ambushed by assassins in the foothills of the mountains three thousand miles to the southwest, and he was seriously injured and unconscious, so he sent someone back to Kite City for treatment!"

"What?!" Keglie's pupils shrank, and he said angrily: "Didn't you send several Heavenly Transformation Realm masters to protect the old General Keys, how could he be intercepted and killed!" ”

Boyo looked at the letter sent back by the blue bird, and said with a gloomy face: "Rosen dispatched five Heavenly Transformation Realm Upper Realm masters, and one... The chief deacon of the Rosen Tribunal. ”

"It's Lawson Divine Court again!" Kegre clenched his fists, but turned his head to look angrily at the side tent in front of him.

A white-robed middle-aged man walked out and said with a serious face: "In that case, we will send someone to ask the Rosen Divine Court again." ”

"I also want to send someone to ask, the last time Sennar had a Rosen Divine Court attack, you don't want to believe it, that's why you asked the army to confirm this matter. Now even the chief deacon has stepped in himself! Your Divine Court should obviously ignore worldly disputes, but Lawson's Divine Court has obviously betrayed the faith! Kegre spoke coldly, completely ignoring the other party's honorable status.

This white-robed man is the chief deacon of a divine court in the Principality of Jeno. He was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go myself." ”

Boyo nodded, "Your Excellency." ”

Kegre gritted his teeth and said, "Old General Case is seriously injured and unconscious..."

Boyo suddenly looked stunned, and said loudly: "Inform the whole army!" Retreat thirty miles! ”
