As the sun gradually sinks in the west, night becomes the master of the world again. The Monas Hills, which already lacked the light of civilization, were like a night beast awakening, swallowing the entire land into its belly.

If someone looked down from the sky at this moment, he would see that within the range of the horizon, there was only a small area that emitted a slightly reassuring fire! That's the camp of humanity. But in the face of the darkness that envelops the heavens and the earth, this little flame is just like a faint firefly, which may be extinguished at any time.

The sparks that had dotted the Monas Hills like stars were also greatly reduced with the destruction of the watchtowers. Compared to a few months ago, these sparks have been reduced by nearly half, which shows the extent to which the Sadalin Kingdom's control over the Monas Hills has been reduced.

In particular, there are almost no points of light in the area between the direction of the Moxie Valley and the human camp, and if you extend the field of vision to the entire Monas Hills, you will find that these areas shrouded in darkness have formed a corridor connecting the Moxie Valley and the human camp, a "road to death" that no one can imagine!

If the few condor archers under Viscount Nott could still conduct aerial reconnaissance, they might still have a chance to discover this hidden danger. But it is a pity that even the birds of prey they raise cannot complete such a large-scale reconnaissance work on such a night, not to mention the news from the recovered outposts everywhere that "everything is normal", so Viscount Nott will not waste his precious condor shooters on such a thing. He also needs these ace henchmen to keep an eye on the damn undead on the other side tomorrow!

Of course, as the commander, Viscount Knott is not defenseless, everyone knows that night is the best battlefield for the undead, and for tens of thousands of years, I don't know how many lives have been swallowed up by the wave of the undead in the night. So he still sent out enough scouts to make sure he could be warned in advance!

But it is clear that the commander's eyes are only aimed at the front, without realizing that his back is the deadliest!

At this moment, a silent army is running wild across the land of the Monas hills. The Knights of the Black Blade are following the "dark corridor" and heading towards their goal, ready to stab their killer blow!

After more than a year of construction, this cavalry unit has become relatively powerful and can be called one of the killer weapons in the hands of the Devouring Snake.

The entire Order of the Black Blade has nearly 30,000 men, of which almost all are combatants, except for 2,000 who are in charge of logistics and day-to-day management. A full 28,000 cavalry is enough to be compared to the so-called elite cavalry legions of the aborigines!

In terms of configuration, the Black Blade Knights were built in full accordance with the plan specified by Yu Bin. Eight thousand of them were players, and the rest were all conscripted natives.

In terms of types, since the Knights of the Black Blade were formed to be the most powerful striking force in the hands of the Body-Eater Serpent, they were only divided into two categories, namely assault cavalry and hoplite cavalry. The former is mainly used for running, assault, and rapid support, and the weapons are mainly swords, bows, crossbows, and throwing spears. Although there is no such thing as stamina for the Undead Warhorse, carrying too much weight will also increase the rate at which these mounts consume Soul Fire. The latter takes the breakthrough of the position as the main task, the weapons are mainly mounted spears or long-handled sabers, wearing specially strengthened heavy armor, and the mounts no longer use ordinary undead war horses, but all of them are replaced with skeleton war horses with elite templates, both in terms of weight-bearing capacity and charge speed, they have been significantly strengthened.

The number of assault cavalry is 24,000, and almost 95% of the players are among them, mainly because these assault cavalry often need to fight according to the size of squadrons or even squads, so the player needs to be flexible in command. The hoplites, numbering 4,000 men, consisted almost entirely of Native soldiers, with only a small percentage of the players serving as mid- to high-ranking officers, responsible for uploading and issuing orders.

Although in terms of strength, the Knights of the Black Blade, with an average level of only the fourth order, are not as good as the elite cavalry legions of the aborigines, but here in the Monas Hills, it is enough to become an invincible and decisive force, and almost no one can maintain a formation in the face of the charge of this force, unless the enemy has a sufficient number of high-level troops!

At least in the deduction and calculation within the Body Devouring Serpent, as long as the number of enemies does not exceed 300,000 and the average level does not exceed the fifth order, it is impossible to prevent the breakthrough of the Black Blade Knights! And this standard can only be achieved by the ace legions of the four major races!

Although the human coalition army camped on the Monas Hills has relatively complete fortifications, in the final analysis, it is just a temporary camp in the wild, in just a week, no matter how hard you are, it is impossible to have sufficient defense capabilities, not to mention that there are traitors who have been bought by the Devouring Serpent to help in secret, the defense layout of the camp has long been sent to La Suvios, and the chief instructor of the Black Blade Knights is obviously impossible to make that kind of low-level mistake!

What's more, the night does not cause much trouble for the undead, they do not need to light torches to provide lighting, which makes this cavalry legion like a ghost, silently passing through the network of outposts arranged by the Kingdom of Sadalin on the Monas hills, approaching the camp of the coalition army!

10:22 p.m.!

For most players in the camp, it's already bedtime. The limitation of the activity time of soul energy makes the vast majority of players attach great importance to the time arrangement, and for human players, the night that is unable to go out for activities is an excellent time to go offline to rest and recover soul energy, no one will be stupid to waste energy to continue to be active at such a time, which means that their soul energy can be consumed in meaningless time, but they cannot get enough experience and loot in return! For profit-minded players, this is worse than killing them!

Unless there are special benefits!

Yu Qianqian is such a "special" player! As the only "elite" among the players who were recruited this time who could use air combat equipment, Yu Qianqian and her small guild "Green Forest Heroes" were assigned a night reconnaissance mission by Viscount Nott. After the Covenant of Angels developed air combat equipment and made it shine in the Armnas Empire's counterinsurgency war, this innovative item that caught the eyes of the natives came into the eyes of the militaries of various countries. It is a pity that due to the special circumstances of the Sadalin kingdom, this new equipment did not receive much attention.

The main reason is the high cost of air combat equipment, which has now been developed to the fourth generation of air combat equipment, and its price of up to tens of thousands of gold coins is simply a fantasy in the eyes of the finance minister of the Saddarin Kingdom, you must know that it only takes less than 3,000 gold coins to buy a griffin from the Raphinian Kingdom, even if you add the daily breeding and training expenses, this cost will not exceed 20,000 gold coins. In addition, the Sadalin Kingdom already has the best archer corps among the twelve kingdoms of mankind, as well as the special class of condors, the former can greatly strengthen the air defense capabilities of the Sadalin Kingdom, while the latter is almost the best aerial scout recognized by the military of the Sadalin Kingdom. For these reasons, the Kingdom of Sadarien did not show much interest in the air combat equipment developed by the players, so Viscount Nott did not consider this aspect at all when recruiting players.

Today, the entire coalition has less than five sets of air combat equipment, and it belongs to the four players' guilds, and the so-called ground crew or corresponding maintenance personnel have never heard of it, which makes the coalition only rely on the Condor Shooter's Raptor pets for aerial reconnaissance.

And these player guilds are also happy to see this, after all, every time they send out their own air combat players, it means that several magic crystals are consumed, and it is also a lot of money over time, so they will not take the initiative to ask for aerial reconnaissance. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that a large number of outposts were attacked before, Viscount Nott realized that werewolves might join this war, and even tonight's aerial reconnaissance would not have been!

Accompanying Yu Qianqian on tonight's reconnaissance mission is a player from another small guild, although it is a man, but it looks even more feminine than Yu Qianqian, especially the other party's poor flying skills, which is even worse than a rookie novice.

"Hey, hey! Sister Sissi, this is the third time I have flown for the first two times, and the first two times I only flew less than 200 meters, and the height is not even 50 meters! The male player named Liu Chao said with an embarrassed face, he obviously saw disdain and contempt for himself from Yu Qianqian's face, "And we will be able to pick it up, and it will consume at least one magic crystal, which is more distressing than cutting his flesh!" ”

Liu Chao's words made Yu Qianqian feel a little empathetic, her president was similar, the reason why she bought this set of air combat equipment in the first place was just to pretend to be forced, even so, her president was only willing to buy the second-generation air combat equipment that had almost been eliminated, it was not as good as the one on Liu Chao, it was at least the third generation.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Fly with me, don't run around, or I won't waste my strength looking for you!" ”

"Yes, yes, everything is up to Sister Sissi!" Liu Chao hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"It's good to understand! If it weren't for those military exploits, I wouldn't have bothered to fly out in the middle of the night! Yu Qianqian complained, as the only elite in the guild who can operate air combat equipment, Yu Qianqian is destined to be offered as a baby, which makes her rarely have the opportunity to go out with other players to kill monsters and level up, and even if she has, most of them are to eat experience, otherwise, she would not be attracted by that little military merit reward, and she will fly out in the middle of the night!

The two of them maintained an altitude of no more than 50 meters above the ground, and flew at their lowest cruising speed along the planned route, which would pass by more than a dozen watchtowers, and their task was to confirm that the watchtowers were still working properly, and provide air warning to the watchtowers if necessary to prevent the werewolves from sneaking up again.

Soon, the two saw the first watchtower, strangely, there was no bonfire lit on the watchtower, which surprised Yu Qianqian, she immediately thought that the watchtower had been attacked by werewolves again. However, she soon discovers that several players are waving in the air from the watchtower lookout, apparently greeting her.

Yu Qianqian motioned for Liu Chao to move on, while she lowered her height slightly and circled around the watchtower, she didn't want to land, because that would cause the floating circle to be closed, and activating it again would consume additional mana crystals, which would undoubtedly be an additional expense for her.

"What's going on? Why aren't there campfires? While circling, Yu Qianqian asked the players on the lookouts.

"Those damn werewolves burned everything they could here! There is not even a straw, you let us take something to light the fire! One of the players opened his voice and said angrily, "Anyway, we just need to make sure that the watchtower is recovered, and we can't afford to light the torches out of our own pockets!" Those quartermasters refused to reimburse! ”

Reasonable explanation! Yu Qianqian completely agrees with the other party's reason! Although a torch only needs a few copper coins, players are such people, as long as they can save, even a few copper coins! And if necessary, even if they take out dozens of gold coins to buy a piece of equipment, they will not blink an eye.

"Then pay attention to yourselves!" Yu Qianqian didn't bother to accuse the other party, if it was herself, she would do the same, at least they greeted herself!

It seems that the distance between the watchtower and the watchtower is not short, but for Yu Qianqian and Liu Chao, who can fly, it does not take much time, and soon the two of them passed six or seven outposts along the route.

Strangely, none of these outposts have any bonfires, but they do have players stationed at them, and their reasons are exactly the same, because the werewolves have burned all the fuel used to light the fire, so there is no way to light the campfire.

At the beginning, Yu Qianqian didn't take this matter to heart, after all, the player was like this, but six or seven in a row were like this, so she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

When another watchtower explained to her for the same reason, Yu Qianqian finally couldn't help it, and she caught up with Liu Chao: "Let's go back immediately!" ”

"What's wrong, Sister Sissi? Have you run out of mana crystals? I've got two more here, so why don't you use them first!" ”

"It's not! I think there's something wrong with those watchtowers! Why isn't there a single ignition? Yu Qianqian waved her hand and rejected Liu Chao's kindness, "It doesn't matter if what they say is true or false, it doesn't matter if you go back first!" The task from above was to check if the watchtower was working properly, and now it is clearly not working! ”

After speaking, Yu Qianqian turned around and prepared to fly back.

In the next second, she felt that something hit her hard, and when she turned her head, it was Liu Chao!

"You're blind! Can't even steer? Why did you still bump into me! Such a powerful impact is likely to cause damage to the equipment, especially since she is still wearing second-generation air combat equipment that has been eliminated, so Yu Qianqian immediately scolded angrily.

However, to her surprise, Liu Chao, who had been submissive to her since take-off and looked weak, had no expression of regret at the moment, as if the impact was not an accident, but intentional.

Yu Qianqian found out that Liu Chao did not immediately disengage after hitting her, but hugged her tightly!

"Liu Chao! You're crazy! Let go! ”

"Sister Sissi! If only you were stupid! If a girl is too smart, she won't be able to get married! Liu Chao's face showed an expression that made Yu Qianqian feel scared.

In the next second, a heart-piercing pain made Yu Qianqian almost faint, and a sharp dagger had been deeply inserted into Yu Qianqian's chest without any protection, straight to the heart.

"You!"

"Don't worry, Sister Sissi! I don't have that kinky preference! However, I advise you to go offline, get a good night's sleep, and then consider changing guilds! Liu Chao, who was holding the dagger tightly, continued to exert force while laughing, until he was sure that Yu Qianqian was completely dead, then he pulled out the dagger, let go of his hands and feet, and let Yu Qianqian's body fall to the ground with the uncontrolled flying equipment.
