Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info put aside the discussion between Leo and Lord Noldor, who incarnated as a curious baby, about the eternal and unsolvable topic of Saint Seiya, and the information from Joe Victor's subordinates that Leo learned that Stormwind had sent a new batch of reinforcements, which allowed him to forget about Marcel's nasty face for a while, and devote himself to the war itself again, perhaps brewing a counterattack, a real counterattack is a good choice......

The backwardness of roads and means of communication has lagged behind the news of Leo and Rolf in the confrontation between the northern leaders, at least for the time being, the biggest enemies at this moment and in the future are no longer each other

Flying fast at the edge of the dense forest, the crisp sound of the horse's hooves alarmed countless birds, but unfortunately, this pure-blooded and sturdy war horse has already reached the limit of its body in the days and nights of running, with heavy breathing like bellows, the war horse's mouth and nose continue to spit out a large amount of white foam, and its eyes have been hazy, maybe it is just following its instinct to run with its last life......

"Wow!"

The neighing of pain came without warning, and the limbs of the war horse, which could no longer see its own coat color, were no longer able to support its body and the knight on horseback, and it knelt down heavily in the gallop, and the huge impact force drove the body to roll out of the ground uncontrollably

After a complete pause, the war horse whined and screamed, its slender neck kept stubbornly trying but could not be lifted again, and a few large tears slowly slipped from its already cloudy eyes......

Pulling out the calf that was pressed under the horse, the knight staggered forward a few steps forward and knelt beside his partner with grief on his face, and tried to hold the head of the war horse with both hands and caressed it gently on his chest, perhaps feeling the familiar warmth, the pain of the war horse seemed to be reduced a lot, and he shook his head lightly and stretched out his hot tongue to lick his master flatteringly

After holding it like this for a few minutes, the knight easily opened his hands that were holding the warhorse, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his arms with rough metal armor, stood up and took a few steps back, and suddenly drew the sharp saber at his waist......

And the extremely human war horse seemed to have noticed something at this moment, opened his eyes wide, and finally glanced at his master with affection, and then slowly flattened his head on the grass and slowly closed his eyes

Unable to hold back any longer burst into tears, the knight raised his sword in the air, let out a hoarse and crazy howl, closed his eyes and stabbed his companion on the ground, whose limbs had been broken and were suffering immensely......

…………

After taking some time to find everything that could be used from the quilt on the horse's back, food, containers for water, blankets, and spare weapons, the knight took off the thick cloak behind him and tied them together to his chest, and after carefully examining the center of gravity and the knots, the knight knelt down on one knee and gently stroked the neck of the deceased horse one last time

But when he got back on his feet, all the reluctance in the knight's eyes completely disappeared, replaced by unprecedented firmness and determination, and he reached into the breastplate, and the warm feeling of the close-fitting storage carrying the incomparably important information scroll made him let go of his last worries, and strode into the dark jungle alone......

"Even if it is death, this information must be handed over to His Majesty, and there is no need for the war between humans to continue!"

********************

Fort Gailwind, a castle straddling the western and central regions of the Empire, belonged to a family of dukes, and the Lindbergh family, once entrusted by the emperor with the important task of suppressing the west, has been passed down for a hundred years, but the current duke, Duke August Lindbergh, has lost the bravery of his ancestors

The Duke who can't wield a sword and can't ride a fierce horse, and who drinks and frolicks all day long and is as greedy for money and miserly as a legendary dragon, not only does this character make it almost difficult for him to integrate into the aristocratic circle, but even Rolf deliberately ignored his existence when he conquered Leo, although there is such a Tempest Knights under his command that once threatened the continent......

Yawning without hesitation, August seemed to have not fully recovered from last night's hangover, and the duke, who had just turned thirty, may have paid too much for a woman, and his body was fat and his face was unhealthy pale

However, the Duke who appeared outside the city at this time rarely rode a docile mare, and wore a suit of armor that was more ornamental than practical, light and luxurious

With his hands stretched out in front of his eyes and his fingers spread, Duke Lindbergh carefully examined the ring full of fingers, rubies, sapphires, diamonds and rings of gold or silver, which refracted in the sunlight with a dazzling refraction that mesmerized him

As if in a drunken dream, the Duke maintained a posture of admiration for a long time, until the people around him could no longer bear his master's unorthodox style, and with the sound of heavy metal slamming, a knight stepped forward from behind and saluted

"Your Excellency, the knights and soldiers need your orders, and this strange group of enemies in front of you needs you to make a decision on what to do!"

Shaking his head, Duke Lindbergh had a good temper, nodded embarrassedly to the head of the knights under him, and an extremely festive smile appeared on his chubby face

"It's up to you, my dear Lothar, Grand Master of the Tempest Knights, as you know, my trust in you has never changed as much as my father, and the Lindbergh family has never feared any enemy as long as you and the five hundred Tempest Knights of the clan exist."

Sighing slightly, Lothar, who was wearing a full-body armor painted similar to brass, was a little discouraged, and had some hatred for the former little master and the current head of the family, in his opinion, greed and lust were not a problem for nobles, only the weakness and easy-going character made him extremely worried about the future of the family......

However, now is not the time or place to discuss these things, and after Lothar bowed slightly and bowed again, he did not say much, and asked the guards around the duke to transfer the duke to the rear of the battle column, and then held his helmet with both hands and buckled it heavily

Looking around at the five hundred Tempest Knights representing the absolute strength of the family, and the more than 10,000 well-equipped soldiers densely packed behind, Lothar's heart instantly swelled with boundless heroism

"At least the adult's stinginess to the outside world also has certain benefits, and the equipment of the warriors in the family can definitely be called excellent!"

Receiving a riding spear more than four meters long from the hand of the squire, the golden clover representing the family coat of arms fluttered with the wind, and the well-trained Knights of the Wind behind him were also making final preparations with the help of the squire, and the enemy in front of him?

"Humph!"

Let out a proud sneer, for hundreds of years, no one has dared to challenge the dignity of the Lindbergh family, as long as there is still a Tempest Knight who can breathe, this kind of thing will never happen

Lothar is not an idiot who does not care about the world, not far from the western region, they have long known that there is a powerful, evil and strange army that is attacking the city, and since the first information came out, in a few months, the cities and castles of the entire western nobility have been lost

Uniformly dressed in black armor and black robes, they fought hard and fanatically, and the knights with black heavy armor and black nightmarish horses were even more irresistible...... The leader who leads them is so powerful that it is suffocating......

But so what, the Lindbergh Gale family is not those marquis counts who have no background, and the Knights of the Wind have never taken half a step back in the face of challenges and difficulties, let alone ...... Lothar understood that behind them was the immensible and fertile plain, the middle of the empire where countless people and cities existed, and where the imperial capital was located......

"I just don't know if the messenger will be able to pass the information to His Majesty in time and spread it to the distant northern realms......"

Patting the horse under his seat, whose breathing began to become rapid, Lothar put aside his thoughts that had nothing to do with the war, leaned forward slightly, pulled down his armor and shouted

"Gale!"

"Fight!"

He was greeted by the uniform roar of five hundred men, and a huge wedge-shaped array that began to move slowly

********************

"A rare elite, after so long, there is finally an opponent who can be taken a little seriously!"

Moving his wrist, Rod shook his head and refused the riding spear handed by his subordinates, took off the giant sword with an astonishing width on his waist, and said softly with half-squinted eyes

"As an enemy, I will give them enough respect to match...... A splendid feast of death! The Dark Knights follow me and kill them all! ”

The heavy sword slashed down with a terrifying wind...... Behind Rhodes were vast expanses of dark knights who constantly exuded a cold aura, and infantry who roamed the mountains like ant colonies......
