Gul was part of an infantry corps of about 6,000 men stationed on the outskirts of Ibu, the closest to the Congo Pass, and about 30 percent of them were recruits like Gul.

Ibu City can only be regarded as a medium-sized town, and the garrison here before was only six battalions, with a total garrison of 3,000 people, so the arrival of this legion was not stationed in the city, but directly outside the city, three miles away, and chose a small hillside to build a camp on the mountain.

Gu Li was originally placed in the bow barracks, because he had been exposed to bows and arrows since he was a child, and had some foundation, but he soon found that the archers of the army were essentially different from the archers of Orion, and the arrows of Orion were more concerned about speed and accuracy, while the archers of the troops only required strength and coordination, in short, there was no requirement for alignment, and it was completely in accordance with the command of the starting officer, how many angles, how much strength to shoot the arrows. So a small man like Coulee is not very suitable.

Later, Guli was kicked out of the archer barracks, and after some screening, he was finally selected by the officers of the scout battalion, who were also selected for the reason that he had been engaged in the Orion industry before, and placed him in this scout team.

The reconnaissance battalion has ten reconnaissance squads, which are divided into cavalry reconnaissance squads and infantry reconnaissance squads, of which Gul is one of the six infantry reconnaissance squads.

Six infantry reconnaissance squads had already set out from the camp in the middle of last night to reconnoiter the area near the Congo Pass in different directions. And Gu Li's team is responsible for the area closest to the main road.

Because of the two-hour night walk, at dawn, the captain led the team to the side of the road to redetermine the direction and position, and then the reconnaissance team continued forward.

Coulee skillfully dodged the obstacles under his feet, easily navigating through the wilderness north of the road, his feet were very light, and if he didn't pay attention, he could hardly hear the sound, which made the captain very satisfied with him as a newcomer, and in the captain's heart, if Guli was fully trained and trained, over time, he would definitely become an excellent scout.

The two of them walked forward silently, and there was a faint fragrance wafting in the air. Those who are familiar with the southern part of the mainland know that there is only one flower that has this fragrance this season, and that is the redbud.

Bauhinia is a common tree species widely distributed in the south of the mainland, and at the end of September and early October every year, the unique fragrance of this redbud can be smelled almost everywhere in the wild in the south of the mainland.

Smelling the faint aroma, Gu Li not only stretched out his head to look around, he wanted to see where the fragrant redbud tree was, but when he looked up, the corner of his eye caught a black spot on the eastern horizon.

The black dot moved rapidly from the east to where the coulee was, and soon the coulee could discern from the outline of the black dot that it was gradually enlarged, and it appeared to be a large bird.

Just as Gul was stunned as he looked at the big bird flying in, suddenly the captain pressed him into the grass and made a silent gesture at him.

Gu Li was a little unsure, but he knew that the captain must have discovered the dangerous situation, so he lay on his stomach on the ground, not daring to say anything, but looked at the captain with a pair of eyes with inquiry.

Soon the big bird was flying above them, and Gully tried his best to look through the gap in the artemisia grass to a height of a few hundred meters, and then he was surprised to find that it was not an ordinary bird flying by. Even Gully didn't know how to describe the bird, which had a head and wings similar to that of an eagle vulture, but a body as strong as a lion on the prairie, and if it weren't for its wingspan of ten paces, it would not have been able to support it to fly in the air so strongly.

However, what surprised Gu Li even more was that on the body of the eagle-headed lion monster, there was actually a person sitting steadily, although the distance was a little far, Gu Li could not see the person's face and clothes clearly, but the light of the morning sun reflected on his body made Gu Li understand that the person was wearing armor.

The eagle-headed and lion-like monster did not linger nearby, but flew directly to the west.

"That was a griffin knight just now?"

It wasn't until the monster flew away that Gul dared to ask, curious and terrified of the new recruit who had seen the monster for the first time.

"Yes!"

The captain nodded and said:

"It's because of these guys that our previous cavalry reconnaissance squad suffered heavy losses, so it was our turn to play. ”

"Isn't there anything you can do to restrain them?"

"Of course there is!" the captain stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body, and continued:

"Crossbows, mages, and flying beasts can all be used against griffin knights. ”

The two men confirmed that the griffon in the sky was gone, and then continued to walk, only to become more cautious at this time, but they had not gone far, and two small black dots appeared again in the sky, and the two men had to hide in the grass again.

Gu Li once again looked out along the gap in the artemisia grass, but he was soon horrified to find that in addition to these two black spots, more than a dozen of the same black spots suddenly appeared in the sky, flying in a line towards this direction.

Gu Li poked the captain next to him, and the captain also looked east through the gap in the grass at his signal, and then his face showed the same frightened look.

"With so many griffon knights, what are the Papal States trying to do?"

The captain muttered softly, questioningly.

But at this moment, Gu Li's body lying on the ground, suddenly felt that the ground seemed to move, the initial feeling was not obvious, he once thought it was an illusion, but with the increase in the amplitude of the vibration, Gu Li finally knew that this was not an illusion, he turned his eyes to the captain, and found that the captain was lying on the ground, his ears were close to the ground, and his expression became surprisingly solemn.

After a few moments, the captain raised his head and looked to the east, in the direction of the Congo Xiongguan.

"The Holy See has actually launched an attack, at least more than 5,000 cavalry! ”

The captain put down the marching package on his back, took out a cylinder engraved with magic symbols, he unscrewed the lid of the cylinder, triggered the magic mechanism in it, and with a scream, a ball rose from the barrel and exploded in the air a hundred meters away, making a muffled sound that spread far away in the silent wilderness.

This is a magic device used for remote alarm when the scout discovers the enemy attack, if it is at night, the explosion of the ball can emit a dazzling light, even if it is ten miles away, it can be seen clearly, but at this time the sky is clear, except for a puff of gray smoke, there is no color of any sparks, only the sound of the explosion comes from afar, but it is impossible to reach ten miles away, the scout captain, just hope that this signal will be received by other teams nearby, and then further transmitted back.
