This heavy rain was fair and extremely unfavorable to the marchers. This was true for the great army of Arad, against the legion of the Paladins of Thomas and five thousand light cavalry marching on the mountain road. Even more so.

After Mevo's army launched an attack on Dongning Pass, it was unable to attack for a long time, and after five or six days of high-intensity attacks, heavy casualties, the Fifth Army underestimated the determination of the Arad army to defend the city. Since Simak and Xige joined forces to break through Dongning Pass and Wupara Pass ten years ago, Dongning Pass and Yuping Pass, as the frontier of the Guanzhong Plain, have been stationed with the most elite defenders to protect the Guanzhong Plain. In particular, Dongning Pass is far away from the center of the Guanzhong Plain, it takes more time for reinforcements to arrive, and it is stationed the army that is best at defense, and Aradd's preemptive active strategy is not without preparation for his rear.

But the best way to breach the fortress is to do it from within, and everyone understands this truth, and the heroic magicians of Wicks often do such things, and now they have opened the gates of Dongning Pass in this way again.

Last night, just after taking Dongning Pass, Thomas made a slight adjustment, handed over the main cavalry force to Ulin, and led the Paladin Legion and 5,000 light cavalry, and before dawn, he began to advance towards Wupala Pass. It is very dangerous to march on the mountain road in the dark, especially the cavalry, Thomas can't manage so much, if he can't reach the Vupala Pass early, then, the Fifth Army will face a second attack on the fortress, not only will there be a lot of deaths, even if it can be attacked, it will be very time-consuming and laborious, and the efforts and sacrifices made by Wicks and Mizt will also be completely in vain, no matter how hard and difficult it is to march by himself, there is no Vics difficulty that Vupala has to face.

The distance from Dongning Pass to Wupara Pass is more than 300 kilometers, because it is a mountain road, the normal march takes six days, and if the cavalry is in the plain, more than a day, it can also run that long distance, but the war horse needs strong endurance. Now it was a march in a valley with high mountains on both sides, the road was narrow and bumpy, and the cavalry walked cautiously most of the time, and could not run at all.

When it rained, Thomas didn't stop, and was only allowed to rest for three or four hours during the night before continuing on his way. Fortunately, he had walked this road before, and he became famous in a battle outside Dongning Pass, so he still had a good idea of whether he could reach Vupala on time. The whole march was stretched, and the soldiers in front were at least fifteen or sixteen kilometers away from the soldiers behind, but at least no paladins were left behind, and for Thomas, that was enough.

On the third day after the Dongning Pass was breached, that is, the last day of the Vupala Pass, the deadline given by Weeks and Mizter, the sun was just setting west at noon, and Thomas's Paladin Legion had reached the east gate outside the Vupala Pass.

The gate of Vupala Pass is open, no, it should be said, the gate has been demolished, there is no gate at all, the entire Vupala Pass, black smoke is billowing out, the tragic battle continues, obviously the enemy has broken through Vupala Pass, but it has not been able to fully control it, Wicks and Mizt are still holding on, fighting for the territory, and ensuring the unimpeded passage of the east gate.

Thomas didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately lined up the Holy Knights, and then without waiting for the light cavalry that had not yet gathered many people in the back, he picked up his gun and rode his horse, and rushed into the Vupala Pass with the Holy Knights.

The scene in the Vupala Pass was simply terrible, there were corpses of both sides everywhere, there were burning barracks everywhere, cattle and horses were also scattered everywhere, and the fighting was not on a large scale, but scattered everywhere.

Thomas did not stop in the pass, but led the army all the way to the west gate to kill the past, out of the west gate is the plain, is the use of his cavalry.

As soon as they arrived at the West Gate, a large number of enemy cavalry also began to pour into the city from the West Gate, and the entire two sides of the West Gate were piled up with abandoned wet sandbags.

When the brave met on the narrow road, Thomas, the commander of the cavalry of the Fifth Legion, took the lead and followed to kill the inside of the door, and the cavalry of both sides collided fiercely.

Encountering the Paladin Legion, the enemy's cavalry who rushed into the city pass was simply a chicken and a dog, Thomas, who was holding back a belly of fire, vented all his anger on the enemy, and the instantaneous collision between the two sides ended with the complete collapse of the enemy, the Paladins were like a sharp sword out of the sheath, directly penetrating the enemy's cavalry team, through the West Gate Gate, and killing towards the Guanzhong Plain, followed by the cavalry behind the Holy Knights, they also followed out of the West Gate, and killed towards the vast Guanzhong Plain.

The appearance of Thomas completely blinded the enemy, they knew that the enemy's reinforcements would come back, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly, Dongning Pass seemed to them to hold on for more than ten days, but the appearance of the cavalry of the Fifth Army meant that Dongning Pass had been lost, and Wupara Pass had not been completely controlled, and many generals began to wonder if there was any point in continuing this battle.

Before Thomas arrived, there was no fighting outside the west gate of Vupala Pass, all of them were members of the Arad army, most of them were climbing up Vupala Pass through ladders, and the west gate, which had just been cleared of sandbags, had not had time to input their own strength, but had become a wedding dress for others.

Outside the Vupala Gate, Thomas's paladin legion, which numbered less than a hundred, was like no man's land, constantly interspersing and dividing the enemy across the vast plain, and then destroying them one by one by the light cavalry behind them.

The enemy's reinforcements to Dongning Pass are mainly infantry, crossbowmen and baggage troops, the cavalry is already small, and when it encounters Thomas's Holy Knights, it will be crushed with one blow, and the entire Holy Knights will be like a dagger, so that you can see, it is stabbing towards your heart, but you have no way to dodge.

Only then did the enemy realize that the Fifth Legion still had the class of Paladin. Once upon a time, the Fifth Legion lived in the north, surrounded by the various war zones of the Arad camp, with a shortage of materials and backward equipment, and now in ten years, it has not only become the most troublesome force in the Arad camp, but also has a brilliant record, which makes the army of the Arad camp frightened, and now it has the Holy Knights who do not even have the first and second legions of Catherine's lineage, how can it not make the Arad army outside the West Gate who thought that the victory was in their hands frightened?

Higg and Simak strictly ordered the news of the possession of the Paladin Legion to be kept secret, in order to achieve such a surprise effect, the enemy was completely unaware of the existence of the Fifth Legion of the Holy Knights, and was completely unprepared to deal with it, or in other words, they had no experience in dealing with the Paladins at all.

One hundred paladins plus five thousand light cavalry, against the infantry-based Arad army on the plains, there is not much suspense in this battle.

"This kid, he doesn't say hello, it's too rude!" Looking at the unbeatable Thomas beating the enemy outside the West Gate to pieces, Wicks smiled and smiled at Mizter lying on the stretcher, "We have worked hard for so many days, and the limelight has been robbed by this kid!" ”

"Ahem, ahem...... We're alive, that's good, I don't need you to take it to Crodina with my eyes! Mizter smiled with difficulty and said, "Don't underestimate this kid, he became famous at the age of sixteen, hugged a beauty, and now he is the head of the Holy Knights, and he has overshadowed the limelight of the head of your entire Heroic Magician Regiment!" ”

"It's really more popular than people!" Wicks said, "Mizter, I heard that there are thousands of beauties in the palace of the city of Crodina, and you and I have no wives, so let's go there and pick a few and be a beautiful woman, how about it?" ”

Mizter smiled: "Hehe, you are a one-eyed dragon general, I am a one-armed scholar, which beauty is willing to follow us, and you have to be scared away if you bring it back!" ”

"What's wrong with the one-eyed dragon? It's called being stylish! Wicks said angrily, "You've read so many books, don't you know that all the one-eyed generals in history are all majestic?" Lao Tzu deliberately made it look like this, so that they could see what it means to be ruthless! You're not bad, if you are missing an arm, why don't you come to my heroic magician regiment as a staff officer, you and I join forces, I don't believe in the one-eyed dragon general and the one-armed staff officer, and the limelight is just a little Thomas This kid? ”

"I'm not interested in the military, and your Heroic Magician Corps doesn't need someone like me!" Mizter said, "War doesn't exist all the time, I prefer to govern my Misland City, whether it's peace or war years, there are things to do, and there is no need to fight and kill and be afraid, I don't want to do it with a good city lord of Misland, and go to eat and sleep with you, am I crazy?" ”

"Tut-tut, that's a shame!" Wicks sighed, "A genius like you is a man in vain if you don't serve in the army!" ”

"Nonsense...... Ahem, ahem! Mizter said, "Talents all go to the army, they all go to the country, who will come to Anbang?" If all the talents of a country go to serve in the army, such a country must be a deformity! The strength of the national army depends on the overall strength of the country, not just the strength of the army itself! Is it possible for a country that is so poor that it wants to have a strong army? If this is the case, the country is in danger, and they will definitely export their power to prove their strength, that is, aggression. The origin of most wars in history is because there are such deformed states, the country is poor, the army is strong, and it cannot solve the country's economic problems by itself, so it can only export the contradictions to the outside and rely on plundering to obtain resources. But in the end, the aggressor often does not end well, because the war between countries is not only a competition of military strength, but also economy, diplomacy, and culture! The aggressor can only be brave for a moment, and in the end it will either be wiped out, or its own civilization will be assimilated by the civilization of others......"

"Eh, weren't we talking about beauty? Why are you talking about national affairs again! Wicks interrupted Mizt's tirade with a laugh and said, "I'd better think about how to make the beauty more realistic!" ”
