"The King of the Heavens of the Glorious Realm, the nine thousand eaglemen behind me have come for glory. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info they are willing to accept your dispatch. And as Queen, I respect the choice of the Eagle Man. Therefore, I only keep my own Royal Guard. ”

In the rain curtain, the queen beads rotated vividly and freely, and her eyes were delicate and attentive.

In her eyes, Sauron was long, and the muscles of his body were as hard as bread in the oven. The towering eyebrows like snow peaks made him have an unstoppable power.

In the sight, it seems that such a kingly quality can only be possessed by the kind of person who has a resolute temperament, has been tempered with perseverance, and is not round. The handsome king, the mighty warrior, staring at the figure in front of him, the queen is just a casual gaze, and it can convey some kind of warm brilliance.

"You're welcome, Queen! Not only can you keep your Royal Guard, but you can also have the right to move an army of 1,000 men. ”

The generous response allowed Zoro to gain more prestige in an instant. With the existence of the Sky Temple, he didn't need to worry about the loss of authority at all. And judging from the data revealed by this so-called queen, her personal charm is to be forever loyal to the god of the sky, and her promise will be more precious than gold.

In the misty sight, the fragments of crystal rain quickly and violently transformed into countless strings of pearls, Zoro turned around and looked at the pair of deep and decisive eyes under the black eyebrows, "Weavers, send instructions to the Red Grand Canyon, summon Rudolph, and say - the eagleman is about to go on an expedition!" ”

Looking at the south side of the ice field, from a distance, it seems that everything is blurry. The rhythm of the wind and snow gradually became messy and violent.

…………

A day later.

The inky clouds continued to squeeze the sky, as if it were about to fall, and the arrival of the snowstorm season made the whole world seem to be quiet. The indifferent wind, shuttling violently, left behind the sound of marching with the army. The weak ice grass on the ice field has long since trembled and surrendered to the earth, and is suffering the fierce blows of the wind and snow.

The snow hits the helmet, and the rhythm is crisp and audible. The boots fell to the ground and trampled in the snow.

To the south of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, 60 miles away from the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, Sauron saw the familiar nameless glacier again. In the blizzard, he kept shaking his body, as if he was very nervous, facing the thousands of eagle army troops, under the ice, there was a sound of turbulent water.

Last time, Sauron encountered the Eagle Clan here, and was chased and intercepted by a small team of Eagle Clan.

Today, he led an army of 10,000 troops, and it took less than ten minutes to quickly clear this riverbank.

About a hundred corpses of eagle tribes were placed there, and in the field of vision, you could see the scarlet openings on the corpses turned upside down, or the bodies were covered with arrowheads, and the corpses were piled up, and the color of the blood became snow white as the snow water diluted.

"My king, the outposts of the Eagle Clan have all been wiped out!"

"Very well, with this river as the boundary, half of the men and horses will continue to be on guard. Across the river, we will find territory occupied by the Eagle Clan, where we will wait for the arrival of the Foot Legion! ”

Unable to fly in a blizzard, and for horseback riding, Sauron did not have considerable experience. So much so that his towering shoulders seemed excessively wide, and the rest of his body could easily lose his balance if it weren't for the stirrups providing a solid support.

The stirrup is approximately triangular in shape, with rounded corners and a copper sheet on the outside of the wooden core. It seems to be a very simple and practical device, but everyone in this world doesn't know what a stirrup is.

The stirrup is the product of Sauron's saddle design through some fragmentary memories.

I have to say that this device for stepping on horses is very practical. Without stirrups, the horseman's legs must hang empty on both sides of the horse's belly, without any support. When the cavalry regiment was ordered by the general to start operating, the cavalry had to rely on the strength of the thighs, clamping the violently limping horse to maintain its own stability, while grasping the horse's mane with their hands, which was to be expected.

The expedition will presumably traverse the entire Blizzard Ice Fields to find the mutated wolf clans, and go deep into unexplored territory with the goal of conquering the fifth known temple.

The cavalry legion led by Sauron himself served as an outpost, the 10,000 eagle legions led by the queen, and the 5,000 slave legions led by Rudolph served as the follow-up legions on foot.

In addition to this, along with the entire army of 10,000 people, there was Xianli and his five hundred griffon hunters.

During the time of patient waiting, the snowstorm became bigger and bigger, and a layer of white mist splashed in his eyes, like an ethereal white veil. Not only is it easy to see obstructed, but the fatigue of the march and the ease of illness of the soldiers, it seems unwise to wage war in such a practical situation.

But Zoro knew best in his heart that with the current population capacity and food supply capacity of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, it would not be able to survive a winter.

"A territory is unsustainable if it lacks resources. The best solution, then, is to wage war. Do your best to plunder and conquer! It's not just for glory, it's about development and survival! ”

It is a fact that there is no surplus of 10,000 people in the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon. War was imminent, and this would be the first time Sauron had gathered and led a legion of nearly 20,000 men to fight.

And during the time that the Eagle King left the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, the safety and order of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon was not worth worrying about.

In addition to Weavers and more than three hundred Heavenly Wing Saint Order warriors, there are also a full four thousand Hawkman Legions. In Sauron's current understanding, unless he is an abyssal worm, no one can do any serious damage to the Hawk Da Benji under the protection of the warriors of the Holy Order.

On the other hand, as the Lord of the Temple, the Lord of the Sky and the King of the Sky, Sauron can summon the Templar warriors to his side at any time through the magical bond of the Temple.

……

The snow continued to fall frantically from the sky, and the clouds were dense and the dark sky seemed to be about to collapse.

At this point, the snow flakes almost turned into snow hammers, and they hit down hard. Seeing the marching banner of the Legion in the distance, Sauron turned his head and looked at the two thousand cavalry archery regiments beside him without squinting.

In the horizon, each cavalry is required to be more than 175 centimeters tall, and must also have strong arm strength. and their longbows, arrows, which were also specially made. The diamond-shaped arrowhead with barbs is cast of iron, which can easily penetrate the thick fur of the wolf clan and is difficult to pull off.

The range of each bow is about 300 meters. An elite mounted archer usually needs to maintain more training to ensure the accuracy of shooting on horseback.

The iron-smelting process and casting technology of the Red Grand Canyon have been significantly improved. In Sauron's vision, every cavalry archer around him was equipped with nothing but bows and arrows, leather armor, and helmets. A long knife straddling his waist can be seen as a curved single-edged sword. On high-speed mounts, cutting the enemy's neck is the most practical way to kill.

Each cavalry also generally carried a round shield, and unlike the pure copper round shield of the Eagle Man, the cavalry used protective gear made of thick wooden planks, with only an iron coat wrapped around the outside.

"The follow-up legion has arrived, and from now on prepare to cross the river!"

By the time Zoro gave the order to cross the river, Vyardo had found almost the shallowest part of the river.

Look for the shallowest part of the river and ride a horse across the river. The deepest level of the river is only half a person's height. Halfway through, Zoro glanced back at the wolf corpses and officially named the place 'Wolf River'.

After crossing the Wolf River, the plains in the horizon appeared wider and vast. Even though you're 60 miles away from the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, the entire southern ice sheet stretches as far as the eye can see, with no edge visible in the chaotic snowstorm curtain.

The wind chases the snow, and the rain and snow chase the wind.

The wind and snow unite to chase the dark clouds in the sky, disperse and reunite, so that the whole sky is in a fog, in the misty snow and fog, there is the unknown, lurking eagle or wolf clan, and it is full of infinite possibilities.

There was still a snowstorm in the sky just now, and suddenly thunder and lightning began to occur in the blink of an eye. Sauron didn't know when this strange sight would stop. I just heard the loud and small thunder that kept lingering in my ears.

The steps of thousands of people converged from near and far into a rustle like the whispers of countless streams.

A legion of more than 10,000 people, meandering through the snow. There were no baggage wagons, let alone supplies for the army, and each person only carried three days' rations. Once the 'Wolf River' is jumped over and continues deeper into the area to be explored, it will mean that there is basically no way back for the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon Corps.

"A good lord never waits for opportunities, but seizes opportunities, conquers all unknowns, and makes them work for him!" A grim gaze flashed under the heavy helmet, and when Sauron raised his sword, it could be seen that the green tendons of his hand holding the hilt of the sword protruded, as if it were cast in bronze, as if it was still sharp.

"Forward!"

Ordered by the Eagle King, Rudolph is armed with a pair of battle swords. The hard chest seemed to be holding his breath, and he shouted loudly, "Second Army, cross the river quickly!" ”

Under the urging of Rudolph and his general's guard, the 5,000-strong slave legion panted rapidly, trampled on the murky waters, and moved quickly.

The black-pressed burly soldiers, like floods that had opened a dam and been flooded, their dense combat boots almost cut off the turbulent current, rushed across the opposite bank and officially entered the territory of the wolf clan.

At this time, Sauron, with a pair of sharp eyes, left the territory of the wolf clan in the snow curtain, and instead of looking at the unknown scenery farther away, he turned his head and looked at the 'army of heavy infantry' behind him.

As for the origin of this weapon, it seems impossible to trace it back. Ice Clan soldiers are burly and powerful, and if they fight with wolves with blunt weapons, they can smash their opponents' bones and smash their heads through their hard armor and fur.

But in sight, almost all the Ice Clan soldiers were armed with war hammers with wooden handles, and the outside of the war hammers was covered with iron, and some of the war hammers were covered with spikes on their backs.

For the green-haired Ice Clan warriors who know how to use combat skills, they can use the back of the war hammer to capture the enemy's joints, heads, shoulders, elbows, knees and other positions, and one blow can make the opponent's combat strength completely lost, fast and vicious!

From this alone, it can be seen that Rudolph was an experienced infantry general, and at the same time he was also an excellent consul.

When he first saw this Heavy Infantry Army, even the Sauromby man was surprised. Although he didn't know how Rudolph did this, his talent as a miraculous archon had been further affirmed by Sauron.

In the horizon, there are not many decorative components on the helmet of each Ice Clan warrior, just a rough piece of steel, only the high top ornament is more chic, like a rooster's comb shape showing red. and the plate armor they wear, which is also nailed to the leather with some pieces of iron.

A shield that is more than one person tall is often called a tower shield, and it can be relied on to form a well-defended tortoise formation. The tower shield is so huge that it affects its own movement, and only the burly of the Ice Clan can straddle such a protective weapon on his shoulders and carry it easily.

The 5,000-strong infantry regiment quickly crossed the river and, under the cover of 500 griffin hunters, went straight into the wolf plain in the snowy rain. The Queen's 10,000 eagle-man warriors quickly followed from behind.

From far and near, when a vigilant wolf howl is heard from the distant and invisible snow fog, people quickly realize that it is very likely to encounter the wolf clan.

In Sauron's keen perception, it is unlikely that a legion of tens of thousands of people will be able to hide the sensitive sense of smell of the wolf clan and the ubiquitous sentinel of the wolf clan on the ice field. Zoro suspected that the moment the Eagle Legion set off, the wolf base camp had been given the warning it deserved.

"The griffon hunters are in front, the heavy infantry is in the center, and the Eagle Legion is behind, ready to defend against the enemy in three formations!"

"Viador, lead your cavalry legions forward, and surround them from the two flanks of the three lines, purging every wolf clan you see. If you find a large army of wolves, come and report it immediately! ”

The heavy helmet covered most of Zoro's cheeks, so that it was impossible to see his expression at this time. I could only feel two deep gazes sharpening, making people feel a chill.

When the Eagle King's orders were communicated to each other along each pair of legions. The two thousand light cavalry divided into two groups, in units of a thousand horsemen, in the left and right directions in front of Sauron, quickly swept forward and disappeared into the vague snow mist, leaving only the sound of horses' hooves that were fading away and rumbling.

The order was forbidden, and as soon as it advanced, the light cavalry corps turned like a black wave, and it was like a cage.

With a sound to resist the enemy, the infantry line of 10,000 people took root like under their feet, and they did not move in danger.

About five minutes later......

Zoro felt a clattering sound on the ground, like a gust of wind. The voice came from behind him, but Sauron shrugged his shoulders, and as his palms stood up, the five hundred griffon hunters raised their arrowheads, ready to release their arrows. The hazy weather and white fog intertwined, making him have to be on his toes at all times.

"It's me!"

Hearing a slightly familiar voice, the queen with a war sword at her waist rode a batch of jujube red war horses, shrugged her shoulders and chest, her eyes were level, her chest was slightly up, and her eyes were slightly squinted, indicating her identity.
