Chapter 34: The Cavalry
What Rossi did was like planting a seed in the spring, and not many people would pay attention to this little seed until the tree had broken through the ground and covered the sun.
In the past few days, the most astonishing news is that the city-states under the Yelut god system have united and announced the establishment of the Jeruth Kingdom!
Before that, there had never been a country in this world, and there was no concept of a country.
The appearance of the kingdom of Jerut immediately caused a whirlwind, and in an instant, the countries of the whole world sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. This is a kind of progress of civilization and the beginning of destruction. Before the concept of the state, people only used the city-state and the god system as the boundary division, and there was no deep hatred between each other, even if there was a war between the city-states, it was only limited to the two city-states.
The emergence of the state has allowed the scale of war to expand without limit, and war is no longer a battle between cities, but a battle between countries.
On the eleventh day when the Eastern Regions entered the Southern Regions to help the human states of the Southern Regions resist the invasion of Jeruth, a coalition of forces led by the kingdoms of Halls, Islevin, and Govis, supplemented by many small states and city-states, gathered more than 700,000 people to encircle and suppress Jeruth's army. Dozens of heroes and demigods appeared in this battle, and the blood flowed like a river. Just when the coalition was about to achieve victory, the country of Govis suddenly defected for some reason, which caught the entire coalition army off guard.
Jerut took the opportunity to counterattack, the coalition army collapsed and was defeated, and the situation in the entire Southern Regions deteriorated further, and the two theocratic states of Jerut and Govis joined forces, and the surrounding countries were defeated, and in just a few days, three city-states, a small country, shook the entire Southern Regions!
By this time, the rest of the states no longer dared to unite, and no one knew if there were traitors like Govis among them. Every force cannot withstand another blow. In this atmosphere of mutual suspicion, many forces are fighting for each other and struggling to support themselves.
There are fewer and fewer refugees on the road, which is not a good thing, which means the brutality and cruelty of the countries of Jerut and Govis. The scattered refugees kept bringing bad news, forcing Rossi to speed up his pace, because not far from him, a war was about to break out.
The war was fought on one side by the Black Wolf Vanguard of Jerut, and on the other side was a small city-state.
The reason why it is a small city-state is because the city is not favored by the gods, and it is not within the scope of a certain god system, so it can be regarded as a neutral faction. Such a city-state is not uncommon, and the establishment of a city-state is mainly based on people, and there are many people, and they develop step by step from small villages, and finally form a city, which actually has little to do with the gods.
In the past, such city-states would not have too many enemies, and their neutral attitude made it difficult for other city-states to find reasons to attack them. But at this time, they had to face an invasion from Jeruth. There is no justification for aggression, the purpose is to plunder and possess. Here I have to say that the martial atmosphere and tenacious city-state consciousness of this world, if they surrendered, they would definitely avoid war and imminent killing, but the people of the entire city were unwilling to surrender, were unwilling to become slaves of Jelut, and were not even willing to leave their homeland.
They will defend their cities with weapons and blood.
"We should help them, and that's what we're here for. Fred looked at Rossi, who had lived an unprecedentedly fulfilling life, both physically and spiritually, with indescribable satisfaction. He likes to see other people's smiles, and he doesn't like to see other people's sadness. At this time, there was a city-state that was facing the wounds of a traitor among the human race, and he had to stand up, and the teachings in his heart made him have to stand up.
"Of course you can, we should. ”
Receiving Rosie's affirmative answer, Fred laughed quickly, and he had a carved wooden cross hanging from his chest, which was a gift from Rosie. He groped for the humble cross at this time, looking into the distance, and had only one thought in his heart, that is, to save the human beings who had fallen into a sea of misery in front of him.
It's a noble ideal, and the ideal is a magical thing that makes people forget their sorrows, ignore their pain, and give up everything.
People with ideals are great.
Olisni, who was walking in the middle, suddenly changed his face, and he immediately fell to the ground, one ear pressed tightly to the ground, and his face changed and changed.
"There are cavalry!"
Cavalry is a very powerful class in this world, it can be said to be the strongest class, there is no one.
There are many types of cavalry mounts, from the weak Great Goat to the terrifying two-headed giant, and no one can list exactly how many mounts there are. But these cavalry all have one thing in common, and that is that they are powerful.
Even the weakest Goat is more than two people tall, and the huge horns are enough to cause unbearable consequences. Most of the cavalry sitting on these mounts were powerful knights who were proficient in warfare, and many of them had received blessings from the gods.
In the past, in battles between city-states, often a cavalry team of three to five hundred people could decide whether a war was won or lost.
Rossi's face sank, and he raised his hand to stop the team of more than twenty people from moving forward, "Prepare for battle, pay attention to avoid the opponent's cavalry." ”
They were all on foot, and they were inherently weaker than the cavalry, but fortunately, there were seven or eight divine envoys here, barely suppressing the scene.
In the distance, a group of refugees ran first, their faces full of desperate gray, numb running, and they staggered past Rosie and the others without showing any other expressions.
They were poor people who were driven and hunted by cavalry.
This is war, there is no why, only pure killing and evil.
The sound of the hooves of the cavalry as they marched could already be heard, and in the distance, a group of cavalry did not line up, but pounced sideways. A cavalry of fifty or so men rode on an animal called a horned beast. This animal originated from the cross between a horse and a kind of magical beast, and the horned beast was born in the shape of a horse, two meters tall and about three or four meters long, and its body was wrapped in thick scales in an instant, its limbs were strong and powerful, and the hooves under its feet were also very hard.
Horned beasts breathe a special gas that smells of sulfur, and when they are angry, they can breathe out large amounts of gas and ignite to form a flame.
In the cavalry system, the Horned Beast is a medium mount among the low-tier mounts, which is very practical and cost-effective.
The leader of the cavalry seemed surprised that someone dared to stop in the way of the cavalry, and with a wave of his spear, a scream came to him. A crescent-shaped twisted face in the air, surrounded by the sound of hunting and hunting, the leader of the cavalry must have been blessed by the wind god of Jerut, allowing him to use the power of the wind.
Fred directly opened his voice and sang an uplifting battle song, and all the people around him who were marked by his spiritual power felt a steady stream of power surging in his body.
As soon as Rossi raised his hand, a red light flashed in his palm, and a wave of flame erupted.
The high-temperature flames engulfed the Wind Blade in an instant, and the violent air currents that burned the Wind Blade dispersed the flames at the same time. In just a dozen seconds, the other party was already approaching, and they rushed over with their weapons held high and smiling fiercely.
