Murong Feng casually threw the cloak on his body on the side of the road, and then with a wave of his hand, he sprinkled a spiritual aura true flame and burned the cloak that had been manipulated into ashes.

When the gray-robed wizard placed a spiritual mark on her, Murong Feng had already noticed it. But she didn't dare to expose the other party's tricks in person, lest the other party see that the soft one is not good, so she will come directly to the hard one.

So when it was far away, Murong Feng directly destroyed the cloak and replaced it with a new one. Then he diverted south and flew towards the border between the Griffon's Shield and the Stormblade Kingdom. Because she was sure that Bilbo Baggins would reveal her whereabouts to the Grey-robed wizard, she decided to do the opposite.

In fact, just as Murong Feng expected, the gray-robed wizard Gandalf tracked all the way to the Golden Oak Forest, but he didn't even see the slightest shadow of Murong Feng, and then there were all kinds of tracking witchcraft, but there was no reaction at all. He knew that he had been tricked by that little girl!

The old man couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then continued his journey towards the twilight forest. Since you can't catch that girl halfway, let's rush to her destination in advance to block her. It's a pity that the old man missed one thing after a thousand calculations, that is, the Twilight Forest was not Murong Feng's destination at all, and they were just passing by that forest......

Murong Feng flew all the way south to a small town on the edge of the border, only to see that the river outside the town was lined with colorful and dilapidated tents, and most of these tents were some refugees in ragged clothes and hungry faces.

Murong Feng sighed and flew directly through the air.

Flying over the Mizusawa Wetlands and crossing the national border, it is as if you have gone directly from heaven to hell.

Completely devastated and scorched. There is hardly a speck of green vegetation to be seen, and some are just white bones!

Decades of turmoil and war have exhausted the last vestiges of these kingdoms. If the monarchs of the two countries can turn the conflict into a jade silk and re-manage the people's livelihood. Maybe there will be a point of reversal. Unfortunately, with the outbreak of war again, the two kingdoms completely fell into the abyss, completely losing the last chance of the last opportunity.

Flying through deserted fields and ruined villages and towns, Murong Feng finally found a town that was still a little popular.

The heavily fortified city was littered with the traces of war, and the broken griffon's shield kingdom flag fluttered feebly on the towering flagpole.

Murong Feng originally wanted to sneak into the city to inquire about the situation nearby. So as not to rush into the area of firefight.

But as she quietly approached the sentry fort outside the city, she immediately noticed a subtle fluctuation in magic!

"Detect magic?" Murong Feng immediately retreated and wisely decided to take a detour.

After bypassing this unknown town, Murong Feng continued all the way south, encountering several groups of refugees heading north along the way.

There were almost no old people among these refugees, all of them were young and strong and young women who were silently hurrying away.

Murong Feng dropped his figure and pretended to meet a group of more than 100 refugees on the way, but these refugees were extremely wary of Murong Feng who suddenly appeared in the middle of the road!

The dozen or so young men in the lead walked in front with wooden sticks and stones, staring at Murong Feng with a wary expression.

Murong Feng was thinking about how to ask about the battle situation in the south when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance!

The refugees immediately stirred, and then, led by the young men, climbed a small hill full of rocks on the side of the road.

Murong Feng stood still and did not move. Standing on the feet and looking at the direction where the sound came from, I saw more than a dozen light horsemen galloping over, and behind the leader there were three small flags waving in the wind!

Herald cavalry? Murong Feng didn't know much about the system of the ancient army, and she hadn't done any research on it, but she could still understand Ling Qi or something, so she wisely retreated to the side of the road, so as not to collide with these rushing herald cavalry!

A dozen light horsemen roared in, apparently seeing the refugees hiding on the rocky hillside.

The cavalry leading the cavalry let out a clear roar. The knights immediately drew their sharp sabers at their waists and assumed a posture of vigilance.

However, these cavalry did not form an attacking formation, but only accelerated and galloped. When passing down a hill. The knight who led the ride also turned his head and glanced at Murong Feng, who was standing quietly on the side of the road, and shouted to the refugees on the mountain: "If you don't want to die, run away!" Those bird-feathered knights are in pursuit! Then he led his men whistling down the hillside.

The refugees hiding on the hillside were completely panicked, and rushed down the hillside to follow the smoke and dust left behind by those knights!

Murong Feng quietly watched the group of refugees crying and shouting their mothers disappear from view, and after a while, he heard the rumbling sound from the south again, but this time the movement was much more than the dozen or so horses rushing just now!

Murong Feng jumped up the hillside and took out his binoculars to take a look. I saw at least a thousand cavalry rumbling over in the distance!

These cavalrymen were all dressed in blue scale armor, with a knight's triangular shield on their left hand and a rein, and a pitch-black four-edged iron whip in their right hand, and two gorgeous birdtail feathers inserted into the helmet as a helmet, which was extremely eye-catching!

It's no wonder that the previous cavalry captain would call these Stormblade Kingdom cavalry the Birdfeather Cavalry. It's a very apt image.

However, what Murong Feng really cared about was the weapons in the hands of these cavalrymen, all of which were all four-edged steel whips, also known as trump cards!

This is a cavalry weapon configuration that Murong Feng has never seen since ancient times, because generally speaking, a heavy weapon like a steel whip can only be used by a general-level cattleman, and the power of this thing is also very ferocious. Basically, with the speed of the war horse's charge, he slammed it with a whip, even if he was wearing heavy armor, he couldn't bear it, and if he was hit head-on, it would definitely be an immortal and crippled end!

What's more important is that the steel whip is definitely the first place in the ancient cold weapon battlefield, and this weapon itself has no technical content in manufacturing, it is a square long iron rod, and you don't have to worry about sharp weapons such as swords when you smash it hard......

The only important reason for restricting the large-scale installation of this weapon is the weight problem, and ordinary people may not be able to lift their arms with a maximum of thirteen or fourteen swings of the steel whip.

It was even more difficult to wield it on a galloping warhorse with a steel whip, because the heavy weight of the weapon itself must have a strong kinetic energy of inertia when wielded. Once a knight loses his balance, he is very likely to be torn off his horse by this inertia, so heavy weapons such as whiphammers are generally in pairs, that is, one in each hand to maintain balance. This undoubtedly requires the user to have extremely superb riding skills.

Otherwise, a stick will be thrown out, and the enemy will not be hit. Instead, you lose your balance and fall off your horse, and even if you don't feel ashamed, you may be trampled into mud by the mounts of your comrades who are following behind......

Therefore, in ancient times, heavy weapons such as steel whips or hammers were generally equipped with military generals with infinite strength and superb riding skills!

But the cavalry team of thousands of people in front of him is actually a steel whip in his hand, which is a bit too terrifying!

If this is rested on the ancient battlefield of the earth, even if the defending side has a tower shield in hand, it will not be able to withstand the wave of charges of this cavalry!

At the moment when Murong Feng was stunned, the cavalry had already divided into three waves, each leading hundreds of horsemen to rush towards the previous town.

Murong Feng hesitated to fly back and take a look at how this battle between magic and sword was played. But I feel that this attention is too unreliable. In case he is affected and shows his figure, I am afraid that the people on both sides will target themselves at the first time......

After all, don't watch others fight, especially if there are two groups of armies with magic and sword energy!

So Murong Feng made a wise decision...... Just take a look from afar, and then flash immediately!

***

Belgrade City, that is, the town that Murong Feng passed by before.

At present, there are less than 3,000 infantry and more than 200 cavalry in the city, and about 1,000 people have been temporarily conscripted.

In addition, the grain and grass in the city have been in an emergency, and they can only hold on for more than ten days. Therefore, the current lord of Belgrade, Marino Helsin, has had to order the city gates to be opened several times, allowing the old and weak in the city to flee from the city to the northern kingdom of Shire in order to relieve the pressure on the city's food and grass.

But it is clear that this is not a long-term solution.

Now. Marino Helsin, with white hair, was sitting on the main seat of the town hall with a frown, listening to the report of the garrison officer Vaduz.

Also present were the first and second leaders of the various departments in the city, a total of only thirty or forty people. The entire council hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people, seems empty, because the representatives of the nobles in the city and their lords have long since run away with the wealth they have accumulated over the years, and now those people are either fleeing to the imperial capital of Lionheart, or have already crossed the border to the west of the kingdom into the Duchy of Theramore, and from there they have ventured to flee to the northern kingdoms by boat.

Marino Helsin, the lord of a city, could not escape, because according to the customary rules on the mainland, once a city lord fled without a fight. Then he and his family will immediately lose their nobility, which means that his family's wealth will lose the last guarantee. Then all kinds of jackals will swarm and divide up the wealth of his entire family in an instant. Guarantee that not a single copper will be left to him!

So Marino Helsin now has only two choices, either die in Belgrade in exchange for peace for his family in the imperial capital. Either surrender to the enemy to protect yourself, and then your own family will be pushed out of the city by His Majesty the King!

Marino Helsin was sure that he would live and die with Belgrade, but he couldn't be sure what the men behind him thought.

At this time, the voice of the garrison officer Vaduz, who was reporting to work, pulled Marino Helsin back again, who was distracted.

"Lord of the Castle." The garrison officer Vaduz said with a bitter face: "The food, grass and ordnance in the city are no longer enough to support us to continue to hold on. If the aid from the imperial capital does not arrive within ten days, I am afraid that something will change in the city! ”

"Ten days...... Marino Helsing slowly glanced at the people with different expressions present, and understood that these ten days should be the bottom line that these people can stick to. If you wait for these ten days, you have to make a difficult choice.

Do you take them with you to the city to change the flag, or do they take their heads and go to the city to change the flag......

Either choice makes Marino Helsin feel sad and powerless!

"Hasn't the messenger sent to the Shire kingdom returned yet?" Marino Helsin asked, clutching the last straw.

The garrison officer Vaduz shook his head and sighed: "The messenger is still trying to persuade the king of the charr, but the other party only agrees to sell grain and grass to us at a fair price according to the contract signed in the past, and as for sending troops, he will not agree to anything. ”

Marino Helsing sighed gloomily. It seems to be a little older again.

The garrison officer Vaduz knew very well in his heart that Belgrade City would definitely not be able to hold it. Because this city is held on the grain route that connects the kingdom to the kingdom of the Shire.

If the army of the Stormblade Kingdom wants to attack Vilnius City, the gateway to the imperial capital, it must first cut off the food and grass aid from the Shire Kingdom. Therefore, anyone who knows a little military knowledge understands the importance of Belgrade.

So for the past few decades, the city has been almost the focus of contention between the two countries!

However, the city of Belgrade is located on the plains, and there is no danger to rely on. It's not like Vilnius City is a city in itself. So Belgrade City changes hands several times every time there is a big battle. And after repeated battles, the city has long been dilapidated. With the exception of the outer ring of walls, which were repaired and repaired, almost none of the houses in the city were intact.

Just as everyone in the conference hall was at a loss, suddenly a person broke into the hall and said in a panic: "The city lord is not good!" The scout light cavalry came to report that the enemy army was spearheaded by a thousand flying feather iron cavalry, and another 10,000 foot soldiers came straight to us! ”

In an instant, the entire conference hall was silent, and everyone's faces were pale and pale!

"How so? Didn't you say we'd give us another ten days......"

"Damn! We were all fooled and scammed! ”

"What now? What to do? ”

"Or ...... Let's all run for our lives! ”

"Run? Can you run over the Flying Feather Iron Rider with just one pair of legs? ”

"So what do you say?"

"There is only one last way left for today!!"

Everyone's expressions tightened, and then everyone turned to look at the lord of the city, Marino Helsin, who was sitting at the top!

Marino Helsing met everyone's eager gaze, closed his eyes and sighed!

***

Murong Feng hid in the distance and looked at the town surrounded by a telescope, thinking that a big battle would break out between the two sides, but he didn't expect the defenders in the city to surrender directly.

A group of officials came out of the city trembling, led by an armored military attache who held a tray covered with red cloth in his hand.

Murong Feng thought that there were things like the Great Seal of the City Lord on this tray, but he didn't expect that when the red cloth was picked open, it would actually be a big human head!

The garrison officer Vaduz held the tray high, knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Lord Marino Helsin, the city lord has lived and died with this city, please be clear!" ”

Sag Loeb, the general of the Flying Feather Vanguard Cavalry, sat on his horse and looked down at Marino Helsin's head, raised his hand and tapped his breastplate, and said in a deep voice: "He is a respectable lord of the city, bury him well!" ”

"Villain Daimarino, thank you, General!" The garrison officer Vaduz put down the tray and fell to the ground and kowtowed three times in a row. The officials behind him also knelt down to thank them, because they understood that their lives had been saved.

Immediately, a thousand flying feather iron horsemen entered the city of Belgrade without a single sword or arrow! (To be continued.) )
