Today's barren stone road, the wind gusts, the weather is gloomy, and there is a very rare floating mist in the air, which looks blue and blue, although it is now past noon, but it looks like a rainy morning in spring, giving people a feeling of humidity and coldness.

And on this official road, which is rarely visited on weekdays, I don't know when, there has been a mighty team, this team is divided into two groups, a wave of slightly more people in front, all are black-clothed and black-armored elite soldiers, marching silently, but iron-blooded and solemn, nearly three hundred people, except for the sound of neat footsteps and horses' hooves, there is not a trace of noise.

The latter group is a convoy that looks like a convoy of people and monks, although they are not as neat as the soldiers in front, but they can be regarded as extremely capable, and in terms of discipline, they can even be stronger than ordinary city defense troops, and those civilians dressed as people are all burly and unusual, and they are not ordinary people at a glance.

In general, this team that suddenly appeared on the barren stone road at some unknown time and from nowhere, is like an army from hell, with a temperament that humans cannot have, and it is also thanks to the fact that the city of Fitt is being captured by the Lawrence Empire, so that there are few people passing on this road, otherwise it would definitely be frightened to see such an army.

Ash rode in front of the group, Black Dragon Kai hid his entire figure, the exaggerated height of the BMW ink scales held his figure majestically, like a death knight from hell, the pitch-black cloak like the night hunted behind him, although the misty sword was also pitch black, it was extremely miraculously glowing with a trace of cold light, even now there was not even a little bit of sunlight.

At this time, Ash had a feeling of high spirits, thinking that when he only came out with a few dozen hoplites, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that he would be eaten by other forces in one fell swoop, and with his current force, as long as he didn't stab a basket that was too big and made the empire ruthless to deal with him, then even if he encountered a thousand-strong army, he would not be scared at all.

Ash had this confidence, the combat power of his soldiers was definitely higher than any army in this world, and he believed that if he encountered the 300-strong guards who had chased and killed him and Nana in the first place, his own men would wipe them out in less than a quarter of an hour, definitely better than the knights under Katerina.

Thinking of this, Ash turned his head to look at the knights who were closely following him.

He produced a total of 40 knights, this time it was all brought out, those knights are all black armor and black horses, in terms of general shape, and his current image is not too much, the whole body is tightly wrapped in the mighty and heavy armor, only revealing a pair of shining eyes, vigilantly watching the movements around them, their equestrian skills are excellent, one hand pulls the reins, the other hand is always held on the hilt of the broadsword obliquely inserted on the side of the war horse, there is no need to deliberately manipulate the war horse, The sturdy horses under their crotches can be like their own legs, like arms and fingers.

These knights are extremely tall, but not as burly and robust as the infantry, and appear more capable and well-proportioned, which is also a special consideration made by Ash when producing them, although the war horses produced by the system are extremely robust, and the endurance is also outstanding, but the cavalry is no better than the infantry, not the stronger the better, the slightly lighter the body type, which can reduce the burden of the war horse, and can also make the war horse have stronger explosive power and staying power when fighting.

Of course, even so, the size of these knights is much stronger than ordinary people, Ash knows that the armor on their bodies is not as good as the Black Dragon Kai, and it is still very heavy to wear, if they make their body short, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be the embarrassing phenomenon of accidentally falling off the horse and becoming a heavy live target.

The team marched so quietly, although this was a mixed infantry army, but the speed of the march was not slow at all, and if you looked closely, you could see that the infantry walked like a trot, and the span between the cloths was very large, but under such a continuous march of several hours, they did not show the slightest fatigue, but as when they set out, they were in high spirits, full of fighting spirit, which was really amazing.

The valley was located in the middle of the city of Fit and the city of Valosser, and with their speed, it would not take too long to reach the city of Valosser, and Ash and the others set off early in the morning, and by the time it was dark, they had already arrived at the city of Valosser.

According to the report of his light cavalry, to go to the Qiming Mountains, Varosser City is the only way to go, Ash did not think about making a detour, but Navarosser City is surrounded by towering mountains, endless, to make a detour, I really don't know how many unjust roads to take, as if it is the second natural defense line of the Empire, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ash reluctantly chose to advance to the city, even if their 'unknown origin' army may attract direct attention from the forces in the city and the Imperial officials.

It is precisely because of the topography around Varoser City that Lawrence's army, which has almost captured Fett City, did not attack here directly, and Qatar was so desperate to sneak over and carry out a surprise attack on Varoser City, and after the siege equipment was destroyed, he resolutely turned back.

In the night sky, the city of Varosese City gradually came into Ash's eyes, Ash looked from afar, and found that the city was brightly lit, and the lights escaping from the city walls simply illuminated half of the night sky, compared to the city of Fit when it did not fall, it seems that the loss of Fit City did not seem to have much impact on the city, and even more, the noise in the city and the laughter and music and drums converged to form a sound, even if Ash was still far away from the city at this time, it could be heard clearly.

Ash sighed in his heart, the weakness of the Verte Empire is really not without reason, aside from those imperial emperors and high-level people in the capital, just these city lords and defenders, there is no trace of distress and patriotism, obviously there is a city close to their own has fallen, and it is just a matter of not sending reinforcements to help, they can still be so free.

Although the city of Varosser occupies a small area, it is more prosperous than the city of Fit, it is a veritable commercial city, and there is an endless stream of all kinds of business caravans every day, providing the city with flowing blood and invisibly increasing the wealth of the city, it is almost ten o'clock at night, and the city gates are still open, and it is precisely for this reason.

It's just that because of the fall of Fit, the defenders of Varosese City still seem to be a little more vigilant, and Ash saw that there were a lot of defenders gathered around the city wall to guard and patrol, and about a glance, it was already visible that there were nearly two hundred people, and the number of people at the city gate was also increased, from the usual group of city gate defenders to five or six teams.

Ash led a large group of men and horses towards the city gate, and saw their group of troops from a distance, which were obviously not the official army of the Empire, and the defenders at the city gate and on the city wall were obviously nervous, and before Ash could step into the two hundred meters outside the city wall, he heard someone shouting at them from a distance: "Stop!" Reveal your identity! ”

Hearing this, Ash pulled the reins and made the ink scales stop, and with his movements, hundreds of people behind him also stopped in unison, and the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves gathered together, and there was a very neat roar in an instant, and at the same time, it also unconsciously made the nerves of the defenders in the city tense a little, and a caravan that was originally slowly entering the city at the city gate also noticed the situation here, and suddenly turned into a group of lost dogs, people turned on their backs and quickly drilled into the city, leaving behind the goods in a place.

Seeing this, Ash couldn't help but feel amused, he took out something from his bosom, handed it to a knight on the side, and nodded to him, who understood, and pulled the face of his helmet with one hand, revealing a resolute and handsome face and a few strands of blonde hair from his sideburns, holding it high in one hand, and walking alone towards the front without being fast or slow.

"Don't be nervous! We are from the Cangyun tribe from the extreme south of the empire, and we have come to settle down in your land according to the orders of the Thunder God Ministry, and we are ready to assist the empire in recapturing Fite City! ”

The knight shouted loudly and angrily, and at the same time held the Thor's Decree in his hand high as he approached the gate, and then came closer, and handed it out under the vigilant gaze of the defenders.

Seeing that the person who came did not show any hostility, and took the initiative to introduce his identity in his words, the defenders naturally did not attack like this, and one of the soldiers walked forward suspiciously, took the token from the knight's hand, and then left a sentence of 'please wait' and returned to the wall.

Then, after a long time, the soldier came out again with a man who looked like an officer, and the defenders of the city wall had laid down their bows and arrows, as if they had received an order.

"Please come here."

The officer-like man didn't talk much nonsense, and said directly to the knight, and when the knight heard this, he turned around and waved his hand in Ash's direction, and Ash shook the reins again and walked over with the troops.

When he got closer, Ash found that this man was a burly man, with a scar across a rough face, and the beard on his face shook when he spoke, and he looked extremely fierce, and it seemed that he was also a character who had experienced some battles, not like a guy who was content with pleasure, and it seemed a little out of tune with the hustle and bustle of the city behind him.

I saw that the strong man first nodded to Ash in a friendly manner, and then asked, "I have checked the token, and it is genuine!" Your ministry came to the aid of Fett City, I am very grateful, and it is naturally the honor of this city to settle down in this Valoser City, but, as far as I know, this thunder god order is only a few pieces in the entire thunder god department, I look at your Excellency, it doesn't look like a person from the Thunder God Department, where did you get this token? ”

Although this strong man is only a small first-order city guard captain, he knows the Thunder God Order of the Thunder God Department, knows its origin, and can also identify its authenticity with great certainty, so he obviously has a lot of knowledge.

He didn't ask where the 'Cangyun Ministry' to which Ash belonged, there are many barbarians in the empire, in addition to the world-famous Thunder God Ministry, most of the places where they live are in some remote places, some even ten years and decades will not step out of the mountain gate, some barbarian tribes have not heard of the name, it is also very normal, and the role of the Thunder God Order is to mobilize the large and small barbarians in the empire, which he is clear, and Ash's reasons and origins also make him trust.

It's just that it is precisely because he knows all this, and knows that the Thunder God Order is an extremely rare and extremely precious thing, that this strong man will feel suspicious, so he asks this question.

"I have some friendship with Nana, the eldest lady of the Thor Department."

Hearing this, Ash slowly opened his mouth and said, through the helmet shield, the voice that came out was low and hoarse, and his unique voice even made the surrounding air a little colder.

Although such a voice is quite majestic, but in the ears of a strong man, it is obviously a bit terrifying, but he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, and after a short stunned moment, he reacted, and with a few smiles on his face, he suddenly said: "It turned out to be Miss Nana's...... Friend! Are you Lord Ash? I've heard the eldest lady mention you, but I didn't expect your Excellency to be so mighty! ”

The second half of the strong man's words were said in a low voice, which made Ash slightly stunned, and said a little dazed: "You know me?" ”

Hearing this, the strong man nodded, lowered his voice and said: "In Xia Lei Kuo, although he is the captain of the city guard in Valoser City, he is also a person from the Thunder God Department, some time ago, the eldest lady passed by here, and went to meet in the lower stage, and under the inquiry of the hall, the eldest lady mentioned you, and specially instructed me to serve you well if I meet you......

Hearing this, Ash was stunned, but before he could say anything, he heard a very light and beautiful voice suddenly come from not far behind him, "The guy in front, you said you know Nana?" ”
