Chapter 359: The outskirts of Iris City
Although the mixed army of the elven clan was still more than 3,000 people, and did not lose a single person or a unicorn mount, the force that continued to advance along the eastern shore of the Lock Smoke Lake towards the north of Iris City was completely different in momentum from before.

If you only use the momentum to describe them, the degree is no longer enough, they got the stainless steel rune suit sent by Wang Xu, just like in a dream, when they marched, they actually sang a military song loudly.
If it weren't for the fact that it would affect their morale, Wang Xu would have interrupted their ignorant behavior of singing military songs, which was not clearly telling the enemy that there were people here, and they were simply looking for death.
At this moment, it was almost noon, and in the clear blue sky where there were not a few floating clouds, the sun cast a venting light angrily, and the light shone on the elven legion's breastplate as smooth as a mirror, shining into a dazzling light cluster.
In fact, Wang Xu knew very well that the set of equipment he gave to the knights was not a high-end product, a set of equipment worth 700 gold coins, if it was a high-end product, then his Mithril inner armor with more than 5,000 gold coins would definitely be an artifact.
The set of equipment that Wang Xu gave to the knights consisted of seven pieces, including: a set of close-fitting armor with a helmet, a heavy sword, a thin sword, a steel spear, a tower shield, a short crossbow, and a longbow.
This set of equipment, compared to the equipment created by ordinary human craftsmen, is still a little better, compared to the equipment created by dwarf craftsmen, it is much worse, if compared with the equipment created by the elven craftsmen, it is even worse, if it is compared horizontally, then, compared to the craftsmanship of the skilled elven craftsmen, then this set of equipment is like the stall goods, it is very cheap.
Despite this, this set of equipment still made the group of elven cavalry excited, because this is a set of rune equipment, as long as a drop of blood is dripped on the palm-sized circle in the center of the equiprising breastplate, then the blood-dripping person will become the owner of the equipment, so that he will not feel the weight of the equipment at all.
This change makes all the fighters excited, because, on the battlefield, if you want to survive, you can fight not only combat skills, but also physical strength, with this kind of equipment that does not feel weight, then, because the flexibility has risen, so, the combat skills will inevitably rise, and because it is effortless to wear this equipment, the soldiers can also save a lot of physical strength in the battle, and can fight for a while.
With a burst of loud military songs, the elven cavalry regiment led by Wang Xu and Nilou finally walked out of the ruins of the Titan tribe covered with rubble, and after bypassing a low hill covered with green moss, the surrounding scene changed.
Looking around, Wang Xu saw that in the distance, there was a river valley lowland, in the lowland, the river network was dense, and those dense and crisscrossed narrow rivers seemed to be artificially built, because the positions of those rivers were quite regular, and the horizontal and vertical staggered were quite neat.
In the area between the rivers and the rivers, there are neat square fields, and because the harvest is almost ready, the fields are covered with a layer of yellow, orange and orange ears of wheat like gold.
Under the background of the blue sky, white clouds, scorching sun, and small rivers, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, birdsong, and the sound of flowing water, the entire river valley area is full of vitality.
Wang Xu also found that there was a stone road under his feet, paved on the mud covered by grass, the path extended forward, around a dense pine forest, a line of cooking smoke, from the back of the pine forest curling up, but, because of the tall pine trees, Wang Xu could not see the source of the smoke, what kind of fairyland.
The warriors were also fascinated by the sudden appearance of the scenery in front of them, and they stopped singing the military song and stopped marching at the same time, and everyone was like a curious child, with big eyes flashing, immersed in the beauty of nature.
At this time, Rebecca, who was behind Wang Xu, suddenly spoke: "In front of you is Iris City, through that pine forest." ”
"Thanks," Wang Xu turned his head to look at Rebecca, and then, raising his hand, he gestured, and ordered loudly, "Keep going, we will settle lunch in Iris City at noon!"
After saying that, Wang Xu led the legion and began to advance along the stone path, and after crossing the white stone bridges erected on the river network, and wading through dozens of small rivers a few steps wide that were not even paved with stone bridges, Wang Xu and the others finally came to the pine forest.
The team did not stop, directly into the pine forest, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, Wang Xu found that the trees in this dense forest are too densely planted, it is simply a step by tree, if it is not for a stone path in the forest, it is impossible for a large army to drive here.
As soon as he saw this method of planting trees intensively, Wang Xu understood that this must be the defensive means used by the lord of this territory called Franconia, he thought that the dense planting of trees could defend against a large force of the enemy, but in fact, it was useless at all, as long as he used a fire system Dao technique, within half an hour, this forest would be completely turned into ashes, useless.
In fact, Wang Xu also understood that the river network area behind him not only had the role of irrigation of farmland, but also had the role of defending against cavalry raids, but it was still the same sentence, it had little effect, in case the demon clan sent gargoyles to attack them from the air, then, that river network would be useless.
Just as Wang Xu continued to walk along the forest path while analyzing the tactical effect of the surrounding environment, suddenly, a violent sound of horses' hooves came from ahead.
When Wang Xu looked up, he saw an acquaintance of his own, and saw that Pol, a spy from the city of Eris, was riding a brown elk and galloping towards him from a short distance ahead.
Pol's face was extremely nervous, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the black night clothes on his body were also stained with sweat, one dark and one light.
The elk under his seat looked quite miserable, the two antlers that should have been on its head were broken, and its brown and yellow body was still stained with red and purple blood, and even an arrow tail with black feathers was stuck in its neck.
The elk was relatively strong, and its neck was thick enough, if it weren't for that, that single feather arrow would have been enough to kill it, and how could it continue to run.
Just when Pol saw Wang Xu's team, the nervous expression on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a look as if he had seen a savior.
And the elk, at this moment, seemed to know that its mission was accomplished, and in the middle of running, it fell down violently and threw out the Pol on its back...... (To be continued.) )
