"Your Excellency, Captain!" saluted as if it were one person, and the two groups of city guards guarding the south bank of the Bison River Valley held their heads high, comparable to the excitement on the hoarfrost faces of the Snow Ape warriors.

The two of them, who were in a hurry to return the salute, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time when they saw the bridge made of sturdy oak, still performing their duties of communicating the north and south banks of the Bison River Valley in the night breeze.

Count Sidwar smiled and waved to the city guards guarding the southern bank, "You are all good, I am sorry for you tonight, and when you return to Sarnia City, you will be rewarded with fifty gold coins each!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Earl!" the excited city guards replied loudly and loudly, and the remaining depression in their chests suddenly dissipated, their chests straightened, and their heads even higher.

"Looks like we're overthinking, and the Kampas' heads can't think of a way to strike at each other!" Smiling as he returned to camp and waved to the warriors on either side, Sidwar whispered to Kane, who was following him closely.

Kane nodded lightly in response, looking back at the intact oak bridge, but there was always a sense of uneasiness in his heart, seeing that Sidwar had gone away, he hurriedly followed.

Little did they know that while they were glad that the wooden bridge was still there and mocking the wisdom of the orcs, on the north bank of the Bison Valley, a pair of glowing eyes were quietly watching them.

The night wind howled, and the sound of chaotic subtle footsteps and low wheezing came in the distance with the evening wind, and it didn't take long for a row of bloodied Saiyan warriors to appear in front of Xia Zuo's eyes.

"How is it?" Xia Zuo, who was waiting eagerly, hurriedly greeted him and asked Delong, who was walking in front. Although each has its own division of labor, the team led by Delong is, after all, the main force that attracts attention.

"The results are good, the other side is well-equipped, but the combat effectiveness is not as strong as we imagined, but it's a pity that we still have young men who died in battle!" The white beard on his face was stained with blood, and when he mentioned the soldiers who died in battle, Delon's happy smile was filled with a little regret.

The warriors of the five Saiyan tribes each held a furry body in front of Xia Zuo, their eyes wide open, and their faces still had the appearance of a fierce roar from battle, but their motionless bodies had already begun to stiffen.

"They are fighters. Dying in battle is their supreme honor. And what we have to do is to avenge them with the blood of our enemies!" Xia Zuo stepped forward and reached out to close the eyes of the warriors, "Find a shelter from the wind and send them back to the arms of Campas!"

Bigu, whose armor was covered in blood, walked out with a few people and picked up the corpse on the ground with a heavy face. Head to the snowfield. Incineration of corpses produces thick smoke. You have to go to a place that is far away and sheltered from the wind and will not be discovered by the expeditionary force.

"How many of them were injured?" Watching Bigu and his party disappear into the darkness with the remains of the warriors, Xia Zuo asked urgently, after all, it was the first time he had a head-on encounter with a human army. The gap between the two sides can only be seen from the casualties.

"There are a lot of wounded!" As soon as he removed the snow wolf skin that had already turned bloody on his back, Delon grinned very depressedly and muttered, "These human soldiers are not very good at fighting, but their equipment is better than those Rodman's regular army, especially those cavalry, almost everyone has a repeating crossbow, and when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, our boys suffer a lot!"

From the bodies of the warriors, Xia Zuo also completely saw that the wounded warriors were rarely due to the trauma of swords and other weapons, but many of them had dangling black-brown feather arrows stuck in their backs, or the armor on their chests was inlaid with black gold crossbow arrows made of stainless steel.

Most of the crossbow arrows were nearly half submerged in the armor, and if it weren't for the equally good equipment of the warriors of the Saiyan tribe, they would definitely not have lost only five people in a short contact, but fortunately, although there were many wounded, it was not fatal to the strong Campas people.

"Bandage your wounds and rest well! Tomorrow morning, we will avenge our brothers who died in battle tonight!" Xia Zuo had a bloody smile on his face.

The bodies of the soldiers who had been busy all night trembled slightly with excitement, suppressed the howling **, the sharp teeth in their mouths creaked, and they roared silently in the cold wind.

Time passed silently, the Southern Dipper slowly fell, the morning star rose in the northern sky, the sky gradually turned white, and a slight cold wind swept up a thin layer of snow on the ground, filling the air with a faint mist.

The loud horn sounded suddenly, waking up the silent camp of the expeditionary force, and the soldiers who got out of the camp tent one by one, breathing fresh air to their heart's content, stretched their bodies that had been curled up all night, skillfully and quickly put on their own layers of armor, and carefully checked the equipment that was most important to their lives.

The camp that had awakened from its slumber was quickly set up to work, and the tents were dismantled into parts, bundled together and placed in the carriages, and of course the noble lords and knights naturally did not do such a thing as status, and their attendants sorted it out for them.

In a short time, less than half an hour, the regular camp of the expeditionary force on the south bank disappeared without a trace, and what remained was a human expeditionary force with high morale ready to march into the savage and brutal Campas for the glory of the Rodman Empire.

"His Excellency the Count of Sidwar ordered, cross the river" As Sidval, who was in the middle of the procession wearing a white horse in a magnificent armor of paint blue, waved his hand, the herald history around him shouted loudly, his voice was high-pitched, and he wandered through the army thousands of times.

A neat procession, a neat pace, a dazzling glow of new and bright armor, the heavy infantry at the front of the line lined up in pairs of ten, a phalanx of ten rows "stamped" a trot, crossed the wide, sturdy oak bridge, and officially entered the territory of Campas.

Their sturdy and burly bodies were covered with heavy armor, and their heavy steps were uniform, and a snowflake flew behind them, which seemed to make the earth tremble slightly.

The crisp sound of "creaking", the heavy and rapid phalanx ran over, the sturdy oak bridge let out an overwhelmed moan, and the oak trees under the bridge deck, which had been cut off nearly in half, were trampled by a thousand heavily armored heavy infantry from the port and spread rapidly.

It's a pity that the earth-shattering footsteps that are uniformly maintained have long since covered up the moaning of the oak bridge.

The expeditionary force had apparently learned the lesson of last night, and the phalanx of 1,000 heavy infantry quickly spread out on all sides after crossing the Oak Bridge, focusing on their respective squad leaders, and scattered into small groups to fan out the exit on the north bank of the Oak Bridge, in order to prevent the sudden attack of the orc force last night when the large army crossed the river.

Just outside them, less than twenty paces away, a pair of excited bloodthirsty eyes quietly looked at the prey that had been sent to the door.

The killing nature made the blood of the Kampas warriors flow and tremble rapidly, and the stiff bodies that had been lying in the snow for a long time were also rapidly thawing, and the desire to kill and fight for the Kampas people exceeded all their **.

Obviously, Saiyans are the most warlike bloodline among them, but with the continuous strengthening of strength, Xia Zuo has no interest in slaughtering these weak soldiers, and for Saiyans, only constantly fighting with the strong and growing in battle is the most wonderful thing.

With 1,000 heavy infantry marching across the river in place, the expeditionary force waiting on the other side of the river finally began to cross the river in earnest, with the elite heavy cavalry at the front.

This group of 1,000 heavy cavalry, tall and burly with armor made of thick steel plates, rode on the same high war horses with chain mail on their bodies and were closely guarded in vital positions, and from a distance they looked like a moving hill.

All of them had arrogant smiles on their faces, in a row of five people, under the gaze of the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force, showing off their superb equestrian skills, each war horse with heavy armor was going hand in hand, not even a horse's nose went out, and the steel horseshoes stepped on the bridge deck, making a neat "Dengden" sound.

And they have the pride to be proud of being the most powerful of the expeditionary forces, and with their heavy armor, they will destroy all enemies in front of them with their spears and iron cavalry when they charge.

Xia Zuo, who has not experienced the power of the heavy cavalry group charge, does not know much about it, but one thing is certain, this group of heavy cavalry who need two people to support them before they can get on the horse after being fully dressed is definitely the heaviest type of troops in the expeditionary force.

The sound of "click" grew louder and louder, and the crisp and dense cracking sound of the oak bridge could not even be concealed by the neat and heavy hooves of the heavy horses as the first three rows of heavy cavalry stepped on the land of Campas.

The bridge deck suddenly began to shake violently, and the straight and strong oak bridge suddenly collapsed downward, and the broken hemp rope flew in all directions, and the broken oak that was thrown off under the pressure flew out from both sides of the bridge, and it was a long time before the sound echoed from under the bison valley.

"Yo" The horses that were weightless due to the tilt of the bridge deck neighed in the air, constantly stepping on the spot, no matter how the knights on horseback urged, they could not let the panicked them settle down at the weightless height.

The terrifying and piercing sound of "click" was as dense as fried beans, and the oak bridge, which could not support the load, suddenly collapsed, and for a moment the feeling of weightlessness was transmitted to every cell of the body covered under the heavy armor.

In a very short time, the faces of the officers and men of the expeditionary force first appeared in doubt, and then quickly turned to fear.

"Ahhh (To be continued......)
