In the northern border of the Tadam Desert, a cavalry team of thousands of people is sneaking in the night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Their march was in order, and though it was darkness at the moment, the three thousand men maintained an almost terrible silence except for the sound of horses' hooves.

Silent, solemn. Despite being tossed and turned in the desert for several days, each cavalryman was straight, looking like a well-trained team.

At this moment, a cavalryman in front of the team galloped quickly from the side, beating the golden drum of the herald with one hand. While shouting in a deep voice: "The commander has an order, the whole army is stopped!" After the order was given, he turned his horse's head and ran back.

At the head of the procession was a young and handsome knight, who was sitting on horseback at the moment, dressed in black armor and looking very heroic against his erect figure, unlike ordinary cavalrymen, on his horseback in addition to a saber quiver, there was also a black spear.

Perry looked at the sky with a relaxed face, and said to a middle-aged man on the side: "Captain Mark Guard, it's almost dawn, and the scout reports that the tribe that attacked the Duke is almost there, right?"

The middle-aged man looked calm and capable, and bowed slightly: "Yes, according to Gray's intelligence, the remnants of the steppe people who attacked the Duke were captured, and they confessed that they were the Hetudan tribe in the south of the Geerqin grassland......"

Perry waved his hand and interrupted Mark, "I don't care where this rabble comes from, I just want to know what happened to the Duke." I made a military order in front of General Heru, and if I can't find the Duke, I can't explain it. ”

That said, Perry still seems to be nonchalant.

Mark frowned slightly, and then said slowly, "The captured captives have been interrogated separately, except for a few who are bent on death, the confessions of the remaining dozens of people are basically the same. ”

Speaking of this, Mark's eyes were a little solemn, he looked at Perry and said: "The situation is basically the same as what I learned before, Duke Casa was chased to Mobei, deep into the interior of Tadam, encountered a large number of demonic beasts, the steppe cavalry regiment was scattered, and the adults were also ...... Missing. ”

"A large number of Demonic Beasts?" Perry seemed to be a little interested, and asked, "What Demonic Beasts?"

"It's a swarm of giant scorpions," Mark's face was a little ugly, "and according to the steppe people, there must be hundreds." ”

Perry was slightly surprised, "Hundreds?" He pondered again and said, "Yes, only this number can defeat more than a thousand steppe cavalry." ”

However, his face actually returned to a smile, "Giant Demon Scorpion...... Things seem to be getting more and more interesting, aren't they, Captain Mark?"

"But......" Mark was about to say something, but Perry's face turned pale, "Don't talk yet, the scout is back!" As soon as the words fell, the sound of galloping horses' hooves was heard in the darkness. After a while, two horsemen appeared in sight, and they were two scouts exploring the way.

"Say!" Perry spat out a short word and looked at the two of them with a serious face.

A scout knelt down in front of his horse and replied in a loud voice: "Report to the commander, we have investigated three days in advance, and the front is less than fifty miles away from the Hetudan tribe, and all of them are unguarded. ”

"Very well," Perry smiled and waved his hand, and the two of them turned to mount their horses again and disappeared into the night.

When Mark heard the scout's return, he felt a little uneasy: he didn't know when Perry sent the scout, but he had already found out the news of the tribe.

After setting off from Valen City, although this Perry had been traveling day and night, he hurried to Mobei. But looking at his attitude all day long, he is still so casual, and now he has done so many things behind his back, is it ......

"Deputy Commander," Perry had already restrained his smile at this moment, and his tone became cold: "I will allocate you two thousand cavalry, set off now, and clear the steppe alien Hetudan tribe before dawn, except for women and children...... Kill them all!"

"Yes!" Perry's deputy commander commanded in a deep voice, and the trumpeter beside him immediately gave the order.

"Perry, what are you going to do?" Mark was immediately shocked, "Now it is a top priority to find the Duke Lord's talent, I am under the order of the General to control you, and now that the whereabouts of the Duke Lord are unknown, how can you be allowed to act rashly!"

"Captain Mark's guard," Perry's eyes blazed, as if he had caught Mark's thoughts, "I'm not acting rashly. ”

Although Perry still looked calm and breezy, there was undisguised murderous intent in his tone: "Just one Hetudan department, more than a thousand cavalry, dare to attack the imperial army...... Hmph, this group of steppe wolves, it's not too much to exterminate a tribe of them. ”

Mark felt the coldness of Perry's tone, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, but more angry, so his face sank, and he scolded: "Perry! I know that you have a special identity, but I have the authorization of the general, you better not be too presumptuous and force me to deal with your military law!"

When Perry heard Mark say this, he smiled instead, and just said with a calm face, "Yes, Lord Mark? I'm sorry, your military law can't deal with me." ”

"Bold!" Even though Mark was calm, seeing Perry's lawless appearance, he finally couldn't help it, "Come on, tie him up for me!"

Several of Mark's subordinates immediately drew their swords and dismounted, drew their hemp ropes, and were about to capture Perry from their horses. At this time, Perry had not made a move, and more than a dozen pro-soldiers on the side had already drawn their knives and blocked in front of Perryma, all of them looking murderous.

"What are you doing, are you going to rebel?" Mark couldn't help but be furious, drawing a knife and pointing at Perry, "Perry, what do you want to do?"

Perry sighed, shook his head and said slowly: "Uncle Mark, I read that you are a senior in the army, and I call you an uncle." It's just that today's incident is not that I Perry is presumptuous, but that you Mark is too pedantic. ”

"What did you say?" Mark was shocked, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, as soon as Perry finished speaking, more than a hundred armor soldiers rushed out behind him, all armed with spears, and surrounded Mark and a dozen of his own soldiers.

"I don't want to seize power, it's just that these three thousand iron horsemen were all transferred from the Central Army to Mosivalen City, no matter what, my orders should be better than yours. Perry said lightly, "Please don't waste any more time, I don't dare to fight your sword, as long as you surrender your weapon, it will be convenient for me to give orders." ”

Mark looked at Perry with a complicated face, "Perry, it's a trivial matter for you to send troops to destroy the prairie people, but if you delay the search for the Duke, don't say that Lord Heru will punish you heavily, even if I, Mark, fight for my life, I won't watch you do anything wrong!"

After listening to Mark's words, Perry shook his head, and his expression became serious, "Master Mark, you are indeed very loyal, and I admire you for this, but I, Perry, am not a reckless man who does not know the general situation." I think you also know the purpose of General Heru's transfer of me......"

Mark's face was ugly, he didn't say a word, and after weighing it for a while, he sighed: "Okay, it seems that the general really had foresight, but I didn't fulfill my lord's request." ”

He paused and said, "Perry, I will be at your disposal today, but no matter what, I hope you will remember that the search for the Duke is the most important!" After speaking, he casually threw the saber to the ground, and more than a dozen of his subordinates could only lay down their weapons one after another.

By this time, the deputy commander had gathered two thousand cavalry and rushed to report to Perry.

"The remaining 1,000 men, another 1,000 horses, and 500 cavalry will go south with me into the Tadam Desert. Each cavalryman has two horses, and he carries all the heavy supplies!"

"The remaining five hundred people are assigned to the deputy team," despite Mark's surprised look, Perry frowned slightly, "As for your supplies, just take them from the steppe people, Hetudan's remaining Ding Zhuang is less than a thousand, so it can't be defeated...... You deserve to starve to death!"

"Deputy Commander, after destroying Hetudan, you will reorganize your army, go east along the northern frontier, bypass the Tadam Desert, and be responsible for receiving in the southern frontier. Perry thought for a moment, "There are several small tribes along the way, and there shouldn't be much resistance." ”

"You plan to bring only five hundred cavalry?" Mark looked at Perry with some solemnity, since Perry was going to enter the desert to find the Duke, he couldn't care about Perry's previous collision at the moment, "Three thousand cavalry is not much, and now you are still dividing your troops to attack the steppe tribes, in case you encounter any danger in the desert......"

Perry shook his head, "With the vastness of the Tadam Desert, even if you give me 30,000 cavalry, it's just a needle in a haystack. Moreover, the desert is not as good as the grassland, and the more people there are, the logistics supply is a big trouble. I'm going to find people, not to fight, only the elite soldiers. ”

He paused, his eyes revealing a hint of murderous intent, "As for these two thousand horsemen, they were originally left for the grassland people. ”

Mark's face changed, but he sighed secretly in his heart, Perry, who seemed to be a gentleman on weekdays, didn't expect to be so thoughtful, and this decisive nature made him, a battle-hardened veteran, even more frightened.

Perry saw that Mark's face was different, but he only smiled faintly, "Moreover, these five hundred cavalry were carefully selected by me, and with the weight of the horses, it is not difficult to travel hundreds of miles a day." ”

Perry paused before he said with a gloomy face, "Besides...... The Duke has been missing for more than ten days, and my patience has long since run out, so you better not embarrass me. ”

Mark also had a solemn expression, thinking carefully about Perry's plan. He had followed Heru in the northwest for many years, and knew that it was most important to avoid fighting alone in this kind of desert, and it would be difficult to maintain supplies. But now it seems that there is only one way to go.

Perry was also thinking in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that he was worried about encountering a scorpion swarm, he would have divided his troops into several ways to find them. But thinking that in the vast desert, if you can't give full play to the mobility of the cavalry, it is better to bring only these five hundred cavalry.

As for the steppe people, they are nothing more than a bunch of stupid guys, and they should shed some blood for this......

Thinking of this, his eyes were like torches, and he looked at Mark and said, "Uncle Mark, when I bring back the Duke, I will naturally ask the general for his guilt when I go to Valen City!"

Mark's face was a little complicated, and he sighed helplessly, and then said no more.

After a while, the three thousand cavalry were separated and reorganized, and Perry rode out of the front of the line on his horse. He looked at the five hundred light cavalry who were ready to go, cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Listen, ten days ago, the Duke was attacked by the hateful steppe people, and now he is deep in the Tadam Desert, and his life and death are uncertain. As the most elite team of the Empire, the mission of our Central Cavalry Regiment is to go deep into Tadam and rescue the Duke!"

As soon as the words fell, a chaotic discussion broke out in the cavalry regiment, Perry frowned, and shouted: "Quiet! Now I have divided five hundred cavalry to follow me to find the Duke, and the rest of the people obey the military orders of the deputy commander, understand?"

"Yes," everyone replied loudly in unison, Perry turned around expressionlessly, looked coldly at the vast desert, drew his spear, and shouted: "Go!"

Five hundred light cavalry stalked in the darkness of the night, following Perry to the south, deep in the Tadam Desert.

Seeing Perry leading the team away, the deputy commander couldn't help but draw his saber and pointed to the front and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, rushes to Geerqin in the starry night, before dawn...... Exterminate the Hetudan Division!"
