Chapter 3: The Narrow Road

In the valley, the sound of horses' hooves has stopped. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

José forced his thoughts and fears to suppress his thoughts, and through the bushes, he saw that the "Black Armor" in the lead had dismounted. And behind the "Black Armor", the twenty or thirty people also dismounted.

They looked like samurai attire, with a fierce look between their eyebrows, and there was not much armor on their bodies, only a few of them wore leather armor, and most of them were only wrapped in rough animal skins.

They looked a little embarrassed, but they had already drawn their weapons violently at this moment: they were all scimitars, and the top of the handle was a hideous wolf head!

The samurai had an advantage in numbers, but as if they were a little jealous, they deliberately kept a certain distance from the "black armor". And José noticed one more detail:

Nearly half of these people had blood stains on their bodies! Joseph had a strange feeling that these people in front of him did not seem to be human...... More like a pack of wolves!

A bunch of bloodthirsty, cold, icy beasts!

On the other hand, the murderous "Black Armor", he seemed much more casual and indifferent than those samurai who were waiting for him, although he looked a little embarrassed, but from the time he dismounted to the confrontation with so many people, it seemed that every step was so calm.

When Jose looked closely, he was slender and slender, and the delicate leather armor on his body was wrapped in a thin layer of black scale armor, but many places were tattered, like traces left by fire.

The Armored Knight seemed to have a lot of scars on his body, many of which looked like old wounds, cracks exposed in the armor, and scars from the clotting of blood.

The man did not groan, and even his body remained straight, which showed that he was a resolute person. The black scale armor on his body seemed to be very special, and it was almost covered with the marks of swords.

Despite the proximity, José couldn't see the material of the armor, like the scales of some kind of animal. However, there are some places that are reflected by the sunlight and have a metallic luster.

He wore a black mask on his face, and his face could not be seen, only a pair of dark and deep eyes were revealed.

What surprised Jose the most was the sword in the hand of the "Black Armor"!

It was a strangely shaped sword - the slender grip was a pitch-black star pattern, the moon-shaped slender sword body, the thin lines were engraved with many strange symbols, and a blue glow appeared in the backlit side, and the cold light falling on the blade added a little coldness and murderous aura.

"Are you going to fight?"

Qiao Se looked at the scene of these two groups of people, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, he had just seen the "Black Armor" calmly kill a person with his own eyes, it was too ruthless! And those dozens of fierce men looked even more murderous, and I am afraid that things will not end so easily.

Sure enough, there was a person at the very front of the samurai camp, he was about forty years old, burly and strong, and the people behind him all looked convinced, and they all bowed their heads and retreated, it seemed that they should be the leader of these people or something.

“%?*=#& amp; amp; amp;......" José frowned as he heard the samurai leader spit out a slurred language—he had never heard it before.

However, the man's voice is like a bell, full of energy, even a layman like Jose who doesn't know martial arts can hear it, this guy is probably a practitioner!

And the leader of the samurai who spoke was also very nervous at the moment, staring at the "Black Armor" with a vigilant face. He was the leader of a tribe in the northern part of the desert, in the Gelqin steppe of the Chatai Khanate.

Three months ago, the tribe received an order from the Golden Tent of the Royal Court from the King Khan: "The tribes in the southern part of the Geerqin Grassland, along the Tadam Desert to the south, are waiting for an opportunity to attack and harass the scattered army of the Bright Empire!"

It has been several months since the Macedonian Kingdom in the west of the continent and the Bright Empire started a war, and there are constantly wounded soldiers on both sides retreating from the battlefield, the hinterland of the Bright Empire is in the east, and the Geerqin steppe is the only way to return home!

For three months, the outer tribes began to attack the Empire of Light army. The steppe people are wolves, very patient, and know how to leave a way for their dying prey, and only when the prey is exhausted, they will not stretch out their claws.

Although the Empire had urgently mobilized an infantry corps to the front line to cover the front-line troops, the steppe people still had the advantage: the infantry was far behind the brave steppe cavalry in combat effectiveness and mobility, and the steppe people fought at home, attacking the enemy and retreating to defend.

As for the infantry regiment -- do you dare to drive all the infantry regiments out into the steppe and charge with the cavalry?

As an imperial veteran who has been fighting the steppe people for decades said: "The steppe people are like wolves, they will run after you when they are hungry, and when you chase them, you have to beware of them turning around and biting you!"

With a unique advantage, the cavalry units formed by this tribe have already taken out many imperial troops, and many of them have won a lot of loot.

However, it is not only ferocity that is the nature of wolves, but also greed. After a few votes, the appetite and courage of the steppe people were rapidly expanding, and this only medium-sized steppe tribe - they not only attacked the wounded troops, but even started the idea of a full-fledged army!

Half a month ago, they attacked a cavalry regiment of more than 1,000 people, thinking that with more than 2,000 elite cavalry in the tribe, they could easily swallow this piece of fat, but they didn't expect the steppe people to kick the iron plate this time:

After the cavalry regiment was attacked, it did not panic as they imagined, but reacted quickly and incredibly quickly. As a result, before the cavalry of the steppe people had finished a round, the imperial army had already begun an organized counterattack!

In the end, although the steppe people forced the cavalry regiment back, they themselves left a few hundred corpses.

Such a defeat made the leader furious!

As we all know, the iron cavalry of the steppe people is definitely the best among the human race.

The steppe people are natural riders, and the men of every tribe are always able to shoot a bow at the age of seven and mount a horse at the age of ten. Adults are even more trained with a little training, and their combat effectiveness is basically comparable to that of a well-trained veteran cavalry in an imperial cavalry regiment.

In their heyday, the steppe people were known as "300,000 people who control the strings"! Under the rule of the great steppe khan, King Panon, the Chatai Khanate was once a powerful force capable of dominating the continent with Macedonia and the Bright Empire!

But what he didn't know was that it was not that the iron cavalry of the steppe people was too weak, but that the strength of their opponents was no worse than that of the iron cavalry of the steppe! Because the cavalry regiment they attacked that day was a part of the famous "Whip of Heavenly Punishment" cavalry regiment founded by Duke Ellios, the former marshal of the empire!

Three days later, the steppe scouts brought back the shocking news: part of the army, known as the "soul of the empire", had retreated from the front line and was responsible for escorting a big man, the current general of the Imperial Army and the Duke of Casa, to the city of Valen.

The hearts of the steppe people were moved: if they could capture a duke of the Bright Empire, not to mention the king of the steppe, the bounty of the Macedonian kingdom alone would be enough to make people crazy!

So the leader of the steppe tribe immediately integrated the remaining cavalry of more than 1,500 cavalry tribes and began to pursue the remaining cavalry regiment.

The Imperial army was also a little surprised at first—these steppe wolves were so bold that they dared to openly attack the Imperial army!

However, with less than a thousand scattered wounded soldiers, although they persevered, after a few days, it was already the end of the crossbow, and in desperation, they could only retreat while resisting, waiting for reinforcements from the nearest border city.

At this time, the grassland people who had relieved themselves found that although there were still continuous losses, after all, the other party was only a wounded soldier who had retreated from the front line, and his strength had been greatly reduced.

In this way, the steppe people sniffed the blood of their prey, forcing this lone army into the depths of the Tadam Desert. Originally, in less than two days, this little remnant of the defeated army would be swallowed to the point that there was not even a slag left, who would have thought that terrible thing happened a few days ago......

Now there are dozens of subordinates left around him. But fortunately, in the chaos, they were able to find the Duke of Casa's descendant. After a night of pursuit, this cunning Bright Empire man was finally blocked in this valley.

At this moment, the "Black Armor" listened to his words, just shook his head, and only said one sentence without hurry: "Iruku......"

As soon as the words of "Black Armor" came out, not only the samurai leader was a little surprised, but even Jose suddenly opened his mouth wide and his face was full of surprise.

Of course, Joseph wasn't surprised to understand the "Iruku" phrase from "Black Armor", who spoke the same unfamiliar language as the man, unless she said "Iku" or not......

What really surprised Jose was the voice of the "Black Armor" - crisp and delicate, with a little delicateness!

This "God of Killing", who kills people like chopping vegetables, turned out to be a woman?!
