Chapter 66: The Bitterness of the Horizon
In the early morning, a mothman girl sat alone on the lawn on the shore of the Red Lake, her hands folded on her knees supporting her chin, staring at the fog in the depths of the Red Lake in a silent daze.
The deep water of the lake rippled with microwaves, and the fish that jumped out of the water in the early morning to hunt happily seemed so blurred in the girl's melancholy eyes, because this moment always presented in front of her eyes the lingering face of embarrassment and helplessness. Even though this girl is so sad in her heart, she is so stubborn and fragile. In the cool morning breeze, her lonely face still couldn't hide the innate coldness and nobility. Tomorrow, she will meet her lover, the prince of Garr, whom she has never admitted her affection for, but who misses him every day.
At the same time, more than 130 kilometers away, on the grassland on the outskirts of Blue Song City, a tall figure stood silently with his back to the slowly rising Kata star, looking at the southwest sky without saying a word. Not far behind him, Riganda was still dressed in the traditional girl's costume of the Ant-Man, wearing a round red hat on her head, strings of white pearls hanging from the edges of the hat, and wearing a red dress and black boots, slowly walking towards the back.
"Brother......" Rigyanda came to Jia'er's side, her head resting lightly on his shoulder and looking into the distance. Garer didn't bow her head, as if she knew she was coming.
"Tomorrow, you'll be her enemy." Rigyanda whispered.
Garer looked down at Rigyangda, the two bright eyes under her long eyelashes that reflected her worry and love for herself.
"I haven't seen her, but she must be beautiful."
"Yes." Garr took Rigyangda's shoulders and looked back to the far northwest.
"I don't want to see you sad, even though I've never met her, I want her to be nice to you." Rigyanda's eyes turned red and moist as she spoke.
The next day, just after dawn, in the endless Kaller grassland, a combined force composed of moths and scale demons marched towards the main city of the Heant people in the north.
This combined force has 62 chariots and more than 280 slender-footed beetle mounts, the scale demon deputy Si Luo was appointed as the commander of the slender-footed beetle unit, and Yao Shan'er is the commander of the moth-man chariot unit, which is specially arranged by Xia Lei'er, because Xia Lei'er is the commander-in-chief, Chi Fubo is the deputy commander, and the mothman deputy Si Duoduo is also in the airmobile command of the battle with Xia Lei'er.
The mothren's scouts Pei Pei and Bai Qianmei, under the leadership of Deputy Si Duoduo, had already flown in front to detect the enemy's movements. The armoured Mothmen troops walked at the front of the line, marching on foot with the Scales Alliance, and they did not rush forward on this trip, but cautiously and slowly moved forward, on the one hand, to save physical strength, and on the other hand, they had to keep abreast of the movements of the Ant-people and prepare for them in advance.
The mighty Nicol was at the head of the group, wearing a giant armor made for it by the Mothman temporarily, and riding the two sisters Charel and Namenarin on its back, Nicol stared straight ahead, his steps steady and confident. The mysterious and dignified Dagu also roamed on the right side of the large army at this time, escorting the moths and the scale demons.
More than 100 kilometers away, outside Lange City, more than 27,000 Hett-Man warriors were also divided into 14 soldier phalanxes, 5 slender-legged beetle phalanxes, and 4 chariot phalanxes marching towards the southwest at this time.
The Ant-Man's vanguard mount is the-Man King Shearle's Thin-footed Beetle King, which is surrounded by a layer of hard metal armor. To the right of King Schaller was Garr's Unicorn, and on the left were Vice-Scandona and Blackarmor and Ken.
On the Ant-Man side, King Charle was the commander-in-chief of the war, Deputy Sicondona was in charge of the phalanx of Ant-Man soldiers, Maana was in charge of the chariot phalanx, and Rigyanda was in charge of the mount phalanx, and they were ready to listen to the king's orders and carry out the king's tactical command.
After a long journey of nearly 6 hours, with a break in the middle, the two sides finally met at Wolong Lake, about 20 kilometers southwest of the Mana River Delta.
More than 30 years ago, this Wolong Lake was a long and narrow lake about 1 kilometer long and 800 meters wide across the east and west. It used to be a paradise for the unicorn dragon to escape the heat, but Wolong Lake has long since dried up completely. The bottom of the parched Wolong Lake is covered with sand and gravel, and there is still a lot of water here on rainy days, so there is only some sparse grass here, and most of it is still sand and gravel.
The two armies faced each other, and the two sides stopped on the north and south edges of Wolong Lake, blew each other's horns, and began to wait for the command, and the leaders of the two sides would conduct final negotiations and directly decide whether to reach a peace agreement or settle the dispute through war.
"It really surprised me, I wondered, how could they have such a huge mount, what kind of monster was that?" The Ant-Man King Charle looked at Nicol who was standing at the front of the Mothman and the Scaly Demon from a distance, and asked in some surprise.
After Schaller finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the deputy Si Condona, Condona stared for a long time, but he really didn't have any impression or clue about this behemoth, and he couldn't guess where it was, so he had to shake his head in the end.
"The King, it's a giant dog, and it's a mount of a foreigner smaller than us we've never seen before, and they seem to be the Mothmen's new friends." Black Armor had seen Nami and Nicol a few days ago, and he hurriedly explained.
"It's just...... There seemed to be a big guy next to them, it looked like a huge snake, and this one might also be the domesticated monster beast of the foreign race. ”
"Damn, will this be able to defeat us?" King Schaller said indignantly.
Ken kept watching the two big guys on the other side, his brow furrowed, Ken knew it was going to be a war with an unpredictable outcome. Maranna and Rigyanda also looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they didn't expect that the other party was much stronger than they thought, and they had to give it their all in today's battle.
"Let's go!" The king drove into the low-lying Wolong Lake with a puff of dust kicked up by his slender-footed beetle, who was twice as large as a normal slender-footed beetle.
Schaller's deputy Scondona patted his beetle mount and followed.
Seeing this, Xia Li'er also jumped off Nicol's back and slowly walked towards the center of Wolong Lake. The Scaly Demon Patriarch Red Fury Bo also drove his mount to follow.
"Brother......" Rigyanda came to Jia'er's side at some point.
Jia Er was staring at Xia Lei'er in the distance at this time, and suddenly heard Rigyangda calling him, so he turned his face to look at Rigyangda and looked a little dazed and didn't speak.
"That person is Charelle, right?" Rigyanda slid off her mount and asked as she looked up at Garr.
Garer stared at Charelle who was slowly walking towards her in the distance, and he jumped lonely from the unicorn dragon and stood side by side next to Rigjanda.
"Yes, sister!" Garer looked down at Rigyangda, her big sad eyes staring at her, her face full of anticipation and excitement, waiting for her answer.
"This is the man who snatched my brother's ......," Rigyanda thought sadly in her heart, unconsciously and habitually resting her head on Garr's shoulder, staring at her rival in the distance.
Although Rigyanda couldn't see each other's faces clearly, her walking demeanor did reveal a unique elegance and confidence.
Like an unconvinced child, Rigyanda's piercing eyes and pointed nose cast a wave of vinegar, revealing a beauty that was intoxicating but couldn't help but admire.
