"Click, click."

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves sounded on the Char grassland, and the creatures on the grassland, whether it was small animals such as insects, voles, or grass snakes, or large animal groups such as bulls and long-horned deer, when they felt the vibration on the grassland from afar, they avoided it in a hurry to avoid hurting themselves, even if it was the male lion who dominated the Char grassland, they could only hide quietly to the side.

"It's only 1 sunset away from Yezi Town, so everyone has worked hard to get to their destination tomorrow. ”

"Good!" cheered.

The horse team that is now galloping on the Char Prairie is Barron's party from the Ending City.

Because there was no carriage to drag down, it took a group of people less than 2 days to reach Char Prairie, and another 1 day to reach their destination, which was several times faster than following the original convoy.

But apparently things were not as simple as they imagined, and when they were about to leave the Char steppe, a cavalry without any signs suddenly stopped in front of them.

"Who are they?" the cavalry that stopped in front of Barron numbered more than 100 men in a squadron, wearing sackcloth cloaks, blood-colored scarves, and weapons of all kinds, and it was impossible to tell which force it was from the outside.

But judging from their performance, they are definitely not ordinary horse bandits, because if they were ordinary horse bandits, they would never be banned like the cavalry in front of them.

"There are a lot of forces that can have more than a squadron of 100 cavalrymen in the entire Scanning Province, but there are only a few who have enmity with our Jonny Chamber of Commerce. Pande clearly knew where the team in front of him came from.

"The cavalry of the nobles of the realm?" Barron was clearly not slow to react.

"To be precise, the cavalry of the Golden Lion Battalion, the private soldiers of the Golden Lion City in the Earldom of Harold, draw their swords and prepare for battle. Pander began to slowly draw his weapon.

"Why don't you try a detour?" Barron looked at the grasslands around them, they could have bypassed the interception of the cavalry squadron in front of them, and then entered Yez Town from other directions, everyone was cavalry, and no one was faster than the other.

When the time comes, the caravans in Yez Town will converge, although the speed will inevitably be slowed down, but at least the two caravans in Yez Town also have dozens of mercenary masters, and there are almost the same number of men in the caravan. With the addition of their escort team, even the cavalry team in front of them is not afraid.

"It doesn't work to take a detour, or rather a detour. Pande smiled wryly.

"There are three roads into Yezi Town, in order to avoid being ambushed, the road we are taking now, although it is the farthest road from the Fall City, it is the safest road, surrounded by grasslands, there is no place to ambush, and the other two roads have more or less places to ambush. "Pande already has the weapon in his hand.

"In other words, if we want to bypass here and enter Yez Town from other paths, we will encounter the same enemies, and maybe even an ambush, right?" Barron also held his two-handed sword in his hand.

The guards behind him also began to draw their weapons slowly and slowly, although the escort team only had more than thirty people and less than a squadron, and the cavalry team on the opposite side had a squadron of more than a hundred people, but under the leadership of Pande and Barron, there was no fear on their faces, only indifference.

"That's right, unless we retreat to Curtain City despite the caravans in Yez Town, we will have to pass this level. As he spoke, Pande began to slowly urge his mount to sit down, trotting to warm up for the upcoming charge.

The unknown cavalry team suspected to be the Golden Lion Battalion on the opposite side also took the weapon in their hands, and then formed a charging formation, began to urge the mounts, and continued to accelerate towards the escort.

As they advanced, they could not see any communication with the cavalry other than the sound of the horses' hooves landing, but it was such a silent force that put great pressure on Baron.

"Encircle the point to send reinforcements, I didn't expect people from other worlds to use stratagems, forget it, since you can't hide, then you can only go up!" Barron muttered to himself, the word retreat was not in Barron's dictionary.

As for Pande and the others, they knew that once they retreated this time, although they could save their lives, it was inevitable that the Jonny Chamber of Commerce would be hit hard again.

They are just ordinary guards of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce, and they don't know the game between Count Mex and Count Harold, and they don't know that the Jonny Chamber of Commerce is just a pawn in the battle for power in the city.

However, the Chamber of Commerce has always been good for the escort team on weekdays, with a stable and rich income, although there is a certain danger, but it is much less dangerous than the mercenaries, not to mention that the Chamber of Commerce has a full pension for the families of the war dead.

How could they retreat in such a situation?

"Kill!" Pander yelled, urging his mount to rush forward.

"Kill!" Barron followed without showing any hint of weakness.

"Kill!" the escort of more than thirty people roared at the same time and rushed towards the enemy who was several times stronger than himself.

In an instant, two sprinting cavalry teams, one large and one small, collided together.

In the aristocratic district of the Ending City, in a mansion, Count Harold tasted the wine transported from the free city-states of the south, red glaze.

Freshly poured out of the barrel is a dark red color, and only after a period of time has been left outside, it becomes a crystal clear, red glass-like color, and then poured into a special crystal cup, its beautiful color is enough to conquer anyone.

It is because its color resembles red glass, and it is called red glass.

It's just that as a wine, the taste of red glaze is too mild, so it is not loved by the nobles of the Nader Kingdom located in the north of the continent, and even in the entire Seven Kingdoms Alliance, red glaze is not particularly popular.

Only in the free city-states of the south, the red glaze is quite popular.

Only a small number of nobles in the kingdom of Nader would like this wine, and Count Harold was one of them.

"We've found traces of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce Guard. A dark shadow knelt down on one knee behind Count Harold and said.

"Oh, where?" asked Count Harold, gently shaking the crystal cup in his hand.

"In the Char Grassland northwest of Yezi Town, it is expected that the second cavalry squadron of the Golden Lion Battalion will be met at the time of the 3 hourglasses, and I have asked the Sham Cavalry Squadron under the 'Dark Mercenary Regiment' to outflank their rear road, they are the closest troops to that side. The black shadow said respectfully.

"Who is in charge of the second cavalry squadron of the Golden Lion Battalion?"

"It's Andrea, the 'Silver Wolf'. ”

"Hopefully he and Sham don't let me down. Earl Harold drank all the red glass in the crystal cup in one gulp.
