Chapter 9: Barbarian Cavalry

Snow wolves are a ferocious beast, although they are not monsters, but they are sent out in groups, more terrible than many monsters, sneak attacks are destroyed because of large lighting magic, the wolves simply attack head-on, in the moment when the light of the fireball disappears and returns to darkness, the wolf led by the wolf howls a few times, and the wolves rush towards everyone from all directions

Oh my god, Lyle sat on the ground in fright

Could it be that the events in the Kuran Mountains are going to happen again, and Dani's face is black

Not necessarily Cassius said Ray looks at you

Knowing that Lei took off his cotton coat to reveal the blood pact dragon scale armor inside, he jumped to the top of the caravan with the blood pact dragon spear in his hand

A golden light emanated from Lei's body, enveloping all the surrounding areas in golden light, and then he raised his head to the sky and let out a high-pitched dragon roar, and the wolves who rushed to the half of the pack were suddenly frightened and their legs went limp, and they all turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs

In less than ten seconds, the plain was quiet, and successfully escaped a big battle, everyone finally let go of the high heart, and in just two seconds, the power of the dragon was raised to the second level, and a lot of thunder was removed, and he wiped the sweat on his forehead, jumped off the roof of the caravan, and there was a dragon contractor in the team, which was indeed very convenient, relying on the imitation of the dragon roar, he could scare off most of the monsters and beasts, and avoid a lot of unnecessary battles

Although the wolves retreated, Joeyka was not at all easy, this bounty hunter, who was extremely cautious at all times, frowned at this time, he knew that although the dragon roar scared off the wolves, it would attract the barbarians

Quickly pack up your things, and Joika said let's leave immediately

Why didn't he have to sleep when he heard it, Lyle panicked, and the wolves ran away, and he didn't let him sleep peacefully

Sleep on your head, it's not about the wolves, and it might be dangerous for me to tell me if I don't leave

They discussed it for a while, but they were willing to trust the instincts of a bounty hunter, so they quickly packed up, put out the campfire, and evacuated on horses and wagons

Half an hour after the departure of the companions, a dozen men on horseback came to the campsite, their hair was strangely tied, their hair was tied in various braids, they wore deerskin hats, they were wearing animal skin clothes, they were carrying bows and arrows, and they were straddling sabers at their waists, and several men jumped off their horses to check the fire that had been extinguished and the footprints around them, and then talked to each other

The man who had just scared the mother wolf away had been here

The number is not large, maybe less than ten people

There is still room for heat in the fire, and it shouldn't have run far

At least one magician found out and killed

The companions rode through the wilderness for hours until they were sleepy and had to stop to rest, and the next day the dawn had already fallen, and the less physically fit Cassius, Lyle, and Ischenova were already tired, and as soon as the team stopped, the three of them fell asleep;

When everyone was hurrying to recover, Joika rode away on a horse alone, and Sophia found that the horse was chasing after her: Joika, where are you going

Probe to make sure there's any danger around

Is this necessary, doesn't it mean that as long as you give money, those barbarians will let them go, why should we avoid them?

Don't think things too smoothly, not to mention that we don't know about the barbarians, who can sell their way for money, of course, but if you can dodge, it's best to hide as much as possible

Don't you get tired of watching out of this and that all day long

Tired, but worth paying attention to everything, keeping an eye on everything is the secret of my survival until now

Hearing Joyka say this, Sophia didn't ask anymore, she understood that caution was the professional habit of bounty hunters, and before stepping into Sylasia, the soldiers of the Loma Kingdom had warned them that the barbarians had been acting very unusually recently, so they couldn't look at those who sold the road and the money didn't work, and it wasn't necessarily accurate, and Joyka's caution was justified

From behind His Highness came the cry of Leona, and the loyal knight found that the princess was not there, and immediately rode to find him

Go back, or that guy will go crazy, Joika glanced back at the probe, and I'm enough

Be careful, Sophia nodded to Joika, then turned her horse and ran back

The direction in which Joyka was probing was downwind of the camp, and in this direction she could not perceive the enemy by the smell or sound, and Joyka had to use her own eyes to determine whether it was safe or not, and he rode his horse for four or five kilometers in the wilderness, and everywhere there was nothing but a white expanse and a few lonely fir trees

Suddenly, the bounty hunter's instinct sends a dangerous alarm

Joika reflexively rolled over and fell off his horse, while two arrows grazed his earlobe, the horse was frightened, scattering four feet and running away, and Joika, who had lost her mount, saw that there was nowhere to hide, so she lay motionless on the ground and pretended to be dead

In the direction where the arrows had come came came the neighing of horses, four horses ran in the direction where Joyka had fallen to the ground, and Joy Ka raised a gap to see four men sitting on horseback

Their attire was exactly the same as the rider who had appeared near the abandoned campfire the previous night, with pigtailed hair, deerskin hats, animal skin coats, bows and arrows, and sabers...... Although Joyka had never seen the barbarians living here, judging by the attire of these people and their superb riding and archery skills, Joyka knew that she had encountered the world-famous barbarian riding and archery

The reason why barbarians are called barbarians is nothing more than what most of the Olopa people call them, in fact, this nomadic people have their own name: the male long

Historically, the Xiong Tang people are not native to the Olopa people, and the Celestial Plains are not their homeland, they are about 400 years ago from the Far East of the vast continent migrated from the vast continent, the Xiong Tang was a very powerful people on the vast continent, ruling a large area of land in the north of the continent, the Xiong Tang nation is composed of several clans, the leader of the clan is called the head man, above the head man, is the supreme leader of the entire Xiong Tang nation - alone the Xiong Yan people are brave and good at fighting, in addition to herding livestock, they often plunder the weaker than them, although they are also humans, but their behavior is similar to the orcs in the south of the glorious continent

As early as the time of the vast continent, the Xiong people fought with the Zhen Kingdom, one of the three major empires in the East, for hundreds of years, until more than 400 years ago, the Xiong Tang was completely defeated by the Zhen Kingdom's army, and the nation was divided: half surrendered to the Zhen Kingdom and became vassals, and the other half did not surrender and crossed the ocean to the West to find another place to live

Due to the long distance and the attack of the Poseidon Clan, the males who finally managed to reach Olopa were less than one-tenth of the time before they set out, but they were also very lucky: the first males landed on the Plain of Gransia was close to the terrain of their homeland in the north of the vast continent, and they were able to quickly adapt to the environment; second, most of the countries of Olopa were in the midst of war at that time, and they were flawless to take care of this group of strangers who crossed west; third, the Plain of Magnetia was very barren, and no country would deliberately fight for it - it was due to the coincidence of many reasons that the Plains were able to survive on the Plain of Gransia and develop into barbarians in later generations

Although after years of changes and intermarriage with the locals, the barbarians are now very different from the original male people, but they still retain the memory of their ancestors in their bloodline: they still call their people Xiong Yan and their leader Shan Yu, and still maintain the belief that they respect the eagle as their father and the wolf as their mother. Talon Sharpening Blade bared its terrible fangs to its neighbors, and since the Age of Light began in 1578, Attila, the fifth generation of Shan Yu Attila, driven by his dream of building a mighty empire, commanded his army to invade and plunder everywhere

On the battlefield, the Male showed the Olopa the way of fighting of the Oriental nomads that had never been seen before, although the Male did not understand magic, was poorly equipped, and had few numbers. There is no air force, but they are good at horseback riding and archery, the horse archers are the absolute main force of the Xiong Yan army, this people who are incompatible with the civilization of the Holy Light Sect never seem to know what is called group combat, their soldiers always like to fight separately, and they seem to be disorganized, they rely on the super mobility of horses to go up and down the battlefield like the wind, use accurate archery to harvest the enemy's life, shoot an arrow to change places, this kind of hunting tactics is contrary to the chivalry that the Olopa people adhere to, in the eyes of many honest knights, the barbarian horse archers fight too shamelesslyBut these shameless, filthy, and unpopular ways of fighting have repeatedly beaten the legions led by those upright knights

It is unbelievable that a primitive army with only horses, bows and arrows can compete with a regular army with superior numbers, training, and equipment, as well as magic and air support, for thirty years, until the Age of Light, in 1611, due to the barbarians being too rampant, the Central Church could not bear it, and united most of the Holy Light Cult countries to form a crusader army to start a war against the barbarians, and finally the crusaders won with absolute numerical superiority and excellent equipment, completely annihilating the main force of the barbarians, killing Attila Shan Yu, and completely driving the barbarians back to the Plain of Slancia

Today, more than 70 years have passed since the Barbarian War, but the barbarian cavalry archers have left a prominent (or notorious) name in history

At this time, Joyka knew that there was no certainty of victory against four mounted archers at the same time without a mount and losing the opportunity, so she could only play dead and wait for the opportunity

The four barbarians came to a distance of less than twenty meters from Joyka and stopped their horses, and they could not tell for a moment whether the man lying motionless on the ground was alive or dead, so they looked at each other very cautiously, and one of them stepped forward to check on the other three, and drew their bows and arrows to guard the barbarian who was close to Joyka, and when he came to Joyka, he jumped down from his horse, and he drew his waist knife and raised it high on Joyka's head, whether the man on the ground was really dead or faked, he was going to mend it.
