Chapter Seventy-Six: Galloping
"Haven't you arrived yet?" An iron boot stepped on the soft dirt. Then, not far from the boots, two snow-white thighs with pink appeared, and a faint flash of white cloth flashed, sitting heavily on the ground, and the iron pieces on the light armor clanged and collided, covering the dazzling spring color.
A pair of small feet wrapped in black half-knee cotton socks were gently placed at his side, and his fingers were tangled together.
"Why are these recruits so slow! It's too slow, it's too slow! The blonde girl with blue eyes puffed up and looked at the knight standing on the side holding his hands and leaning against the tree to enjoy the shade, and complained unbearably, "Rodrià! Do we have to wait? ”
"Be patient! After all, the time hasn't come yet, has it? The knight smiled in response. He looked at a stick in front of him that had been stuck straight into the ground.
The stick draws a thin line against the foot of the stick in the direction of the back sun. As long as the shadow of the stick shrinks beyond that line, it means that the time has come. If the recruit has not arrived by then, it means that the assessment has failed. Honestly accept those... Equivalent to the amount of training of a regular knight.
"Hmm....!" The girl was obviously very dissatisfied with her little face, "What's there to wait for!" I changed the map, how could they see it! I don't know where I'm going to go around now! Let's go, shall we? Gone, right? The girl jumped up and slipped to the knight named Rodria and grabbed his sleeve and shook it.
The knight just patted her head lightly and chuckled, "Okay, Lilum, this is Chief Gerald's order, do you want to make him angry?" ”
Her face froze at the mention of Gerald. She subconsciously looked around to see if the man would appear beside her, and then muttered in frustration: "Well, there is not much time left anyway..."
Lilum boredomily kicked the pebble on the ground with the tip of her shoe, watched it roll to the side, then stretched out her toe to hook it back, and gently kicked it away, and so on and on, and so on.
"Rodria, why did you say that Instructor Gerald left suddenly, this raid was obviously made by him, and he suddenly threw it to us." Lilum said a little unhappily.
"I can guess what Chief Gerald thinks, what he wants to do is mysterious, how can I guess." Rodria said helplessly.
"Hey, but have you noticed that since the last night mission of Chief Gerald, he seems to have changed as a different person!" Lilum leaned over to Rodria and whispered but earnestly, "Last time I actually saw Chief Gerald looking at the file and smiling!" ”
"Maybe there's something good going on at the front, you know he's been caring about it all along." Rodria said.
"But he took that document backwards!" Lilum's face was filled with a strange expression, "I didn't expect Gerald to laugh too!" ”
"This..."Rodria replied with an embarrassed smile, "This is a private matter of the chief, let's not talk so much, haha..."
Suddenly, his face turned serious.
Leaning against the body of the tree, he slowly stood up straight and walked out of the shade. He tilted his ears with his eyes closed, and there seemed to be a voice coming from him.
"What's wrong, Rhodrya?" Lilum looked at him suspiciously, but he didn't have a regular meeting, and still listened to something.
"There is the sound of horses' hooves." After a long time, he suddenly smiled slightly, opened his eyes and said.
"Are the recruits finally here?" Lilum said uninterestedly.
"Maybe, or maybe not." He said with great meaning.
"Why do you say that?" Lilum said puzzled.
"The recruits are heavily armoured, and the sound of horses' hooves will be heavy. But the voice is very light, obviously an ordinary light ride. So it could be that Chief Gerald is back. Rodria said.
"Ahh
For she also heard the sound of horses' hooves.
"You should be able to hear far, right? Why did I hear it so quickly? She asked, confused.
"Hurry the march?" Rhodría wasn't sure either, "Commander Gerald doesn't need to march in a hurry, is there an emergency?" Or is someone else coming? ”
None of them could answer, only to look at the far corner of the jungle trail, waiting for the person to appear there to make a judgment.
Ma Tingsheng got closer and closer, more and more urgent, and the shouts of the riders were in his ears.
Rodria didn't sound right.
Is this voice a little younger?
This won't be Sir Gerald.
Wait, young?
He seemed to think of something, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.
"Quick, Lilum, go and see the shadow of the time-marking stick! Now it's time for the scale, no! Rodria anxiously turned back to Lilum and shouted.
Yes?
Lilum didn't come back to her senses for a moment.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly burst out from around the corner, and rushed towards this small clearing at an even more ferocious speed without the slightest intention of slowing down!
Lilum subconsciously looked over, only to see a shiny black horse galloping towards him like a dense cloud of smoke!
Boom Rumble!!
The sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and one after another knights rushed out of the corner of the forest, appearing out of thin air like a god from heaven, and fearlessly rushing towards the wooden stick in the middle of the clearing with the sound of horses' hooves like thunder!
Lilum watched the sprint of these recruits and froze for a moment.
"Go, don't be in a daze...", Rhodria was going to urge Lilum to check the time again, but the horses were rushing so fast in an instant, if Lirum passed now, she would probably be hit at her speed.
It's too late, you have to complete your task fairly!
He looked at the Dark Horse Knight.
It takes about two or three seconds to reach the side of the stick, and the black horse is still twenty or thirty meters away from the stick, and at his own speed, he can confirm the position of the shadow before the black horse arrives and leave.
Rodria gritted his teeth and rushed towards the wooden stick that counted the time.
He was very fast, and he was able to reach the stick in three or two steps, but before he could see if the shadow had reached the boundary line, a larger black shadow overshadowed his vision.
The shadow covered the shadow of the marker, and Rhodella looked up in disbelief.
The dark horse has actually rushed through a distance of dozens of meters in two seconds, and now it is in front of his eyes!
No one could stop their horses at such a close distance, not even the head of the Knights, and it was impossible for someone like the Legion Commander to stop his horse with his face attached, not to mention, this was only a recruit!
Trouble. He thought so.
Rise!!!
A loud horse whistle sounded from the throat of the black horse, and the front hooves of the black horse were raised high. The rider didn't intend to stop at all, he directly pulled up the reins, and the black horse jumped up directly after receiving the order! It's like a black light, and the black horse actually jumped up to the height of one person and crossed straight over him!
The horse's back was straight, and there was even a hint of a backward curve, like a well-trained elite knight. His armor was covered with dust, but it didn't affect the silver glow on the armor above.
The knight was not very tall, but when Raudria saw his eyes, he always felt that his eyes were full of cold cold.
The black horse landed on the ground as lightly as an antelope. But the impact did not dissipate, and he and his hind legs shoveled off a thick layer of dirt from the ground like a bull.
Rise!!!
This is not the only knight who can gallop. They rushed until they were only more than ten meters away from the wooden stick in the middle before someone gave the order "Stop!" ”
A loud roar of horses rang out from the throats of the horses, and the knights tightened their reins. But they were running too fast for them to stop.
The horses came to an urgent halt when they received the command of the reins, but the force of the impact carried them forward, and their hooves ploughed deep furrows in the ground.
By the time everything stopped, the already small camp was now dusty, and more than twenty knights occupied it.
The black knight rolled over and dismounted, and walked over to Rodriard.
"Report, the 1st Brigade of Reserve Knights of the 10th Knights has been assembled. Excuse me, sir, what are we going to do next? ”
