Chapter 793: A New Herd of Demonic Beasts
Xia Qi has already taken care of all the things that need to be dealt with in the elf administrative region, and next, if there are no accidents, he plans to return to Great Xia City directly.
At the same time, far away on the western prairie at the other end of Great Xia.
The sound of horses' hooves shook the fields, and a huge herd of wild horses raged past, startling the surrounding cattle and sheep to flee in all directions.
Seeing this, the herdsmen on horseback changed their faces and hurriedly stepped forward to gather their cattle and sheep and avoid them.
If the horses were to scatter their cattle and sheep and run away, it would be a great loss for the herdsmen.
For a while, they were all in a hurry, and at the same time, they were extremely strange in their hearts.
As herders grazing on this vast grassland, they are naturally well aware of the situation in every meadow nearby, and it stands to reason that at this time, there will be no wild horses here.
After all, the nearby wild horse herd had already been hunted by the horse farms in Great Xia.
At the same time, the horses galloped wildly at an astonishing speed, as if a gust of wind were passing by, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared in the vast grassland.
Only the dust raised in the distance proved the position of the horses at this moment, but it only made the faces of the herders even more frightened.
"What a situation! How could those guys run so fast, could it be a wild black cloud horse? ”
As a nation that grew up on horseback, the herdsmen are very familiar with cattle, sheep and horses, and normal horses, even if they are first-class horses on the grassland, cannot have such an exaggerated speed!
Unless it is a black cloud horse specially bred by Great Xia, it is a half-demonic beast, and the speed of rushing up is not much inferior to that of a car.
At the same time, they also heard that the horse farm that was in charge of this area in the early years also cultivated a breed that was stronger than the black cloud horse, the Benlei horse, which was more than a little stronger than the black cloud horse.
However, such top-notch horses were directly picked up by the army, and they, ordinary herdsmen, had never even seen them.
With this in mind, the herdsman, who had finally gathered his flock, suddenly said to the man beside him: "You say, if we report this matter, will it be a great achievement?" ”
Afterwards, I received a report from the herdsmen, and the person in charge of the grassland horse farm at that time was also very concerned.
How is this possible?!
Ben Thunder Horse, that is the bloodline that inherited His Majesty's Warcraft Mount Lightning, can be said to be the strongest breed among all their war horses in Great Xia today.
Therefore, when he heard this, the first reaction of the person in charge was suspicion.
There is a reward mechanism in Daxia, that is, after discovering a herd of wild horses, if the average person reports to a nearby horse farm, he can get a corresponding bounty according to the situation.
Over the years, because of this mechanism, it is not without people who deliberately lie and try to cheat the bounty, and most of those people will not have good fruits to eat afterwards.
At this time, the person in charge was also a little suspicious of the two herdsmen in front of him and wanted to come over to cheat the bounty.
Probably feeling the suspicion in the eyes of the person in charge, the two herdsmen couldn't help but become a little excited, and at the same time emphasized loudly: "We didn't lie to you, we really saw it, they rushed in front of us, and almost broke up our flock!" ”
The movement here has attracted the attention of many people, feeling the sight of those sweeping, the person in charge of the horse farm can't help frowning even tighter, and just wanted to signal the two herdsmen to calm down, but unexpectedly, a voice suddenly came.
"What's going on?"
The person in charge of the racecourse who heard this question subconsciously raised his eyes, and then immediately stood up after seeing the figure.
"General Kree! Why are you here?! ”
On the grasslands of Great Xia, how many people would not know Kereh?
At the same time as he appeared, even the two herdsmen who had been loudly emphasizing that they were not lying became nervous.
Looking at the person in charge of the racecourse who had already caught up, Kelie directly threw an inquiring look at him, and in this regard, the person in charge of the racecourse also told him what had just happened.
Before he could finish speaking, the two herdsmen standing there couldn't help but emphasize again: "We really saw it!" It's true! ”
Faced with this situation, Kree raised his hand to the person in charge of the horse farm who was about to say something, and while reassuring the other party, he turned to the two herdsmen and asked, "You just said that the wild horses are running fast?" How fast? ”
"They came from afar, swept past our eyes, as fast as a gust of wind."
Hearing this, Clero groaned, if the two herdsmen hadn't lied, then the wild horses they saw could only be magical beasts.
"Field Chief, my original Black Cloud Horse, the horse's hooves were injured a little, and I now need a Black Cloud Horse that can serve."
"Okay, General Kereh, please wait a moment, I'll call someone to do it immediately."
This is actually the main purpose of Keree's appearance here today, although he can also call his subordinates to do it, but anyway, their military area is not far from the horse farm, so they ran over by themselves.
As a result, this incident was encountered.
The new Black Cloud Horse was quickly prepared, and Kree could feel that this Black Cloud Horse was younger and stronger than his original one.
Calculating the time, his black cloud horse should retire from the front line in two years, and this time the horse's hoof injury, if serious, is likely to cause it to retire early.
After all, the Black Cloud Horse is only a semi-demonic beast, and although its lifespan is longer than that of ordinary war horses, it is still limited after all.
"Let's go, take me to the place where you see the horses."
As he spoke, Kree had already turned on his horse.
"If what you said is true, then it is very likely that you will be a great achievement, and the bounty will not be less than you."
Speaking of this, Kree changed his style and said, "However, if you are lying, then you still have a chance to confess your mistakes now, otherwise after I find out, I am afraid that you will have to go to prison and reflect for a while." ”
The two herdsmen had nothing to say about this, and patted their chests again and again, saying that they would not lie.
Guided by two herdsmen, Kreh led a thousand-strong cavalry under his command to the spot where they had found wild horses.
Originally, catching wild horses should have been done by the people at the horse farm, but this time the situation was a bit special.
After all, a Demonic Beast is different from an ordinary Beast, any first-order Demonic Beast can pose a great threat to a hundred-strong army!
And as the level of Warcraft increases, the threat will also increase exponentially.
If the target is really a group of wild horse-like monsters, then Kree feels that his team of 1,000 people may not be enough.
However, considering that this information has not been officially confirmed after all, he plans to confirm the information first this time, and then mobilize the follow-up troops after it is confirmed.
Of course, there is a more important reason that two weeks ago, news came from the border that a large number of horse thieves had been discovered, and after receiving the information, Silan took the main force out to suppress the bandits, and by the way, he trained the recruits and accumulated some actual combat experience for the rookies.
In other words, now that the garrison on their western border is relatively limited, Kereh can't let the garrison of their border fortress fall into a state of emptiness because of an uncertain piece of information.
From the two herdsmen running to report the situation to the arrival of Kereh with a thousand-strong cavalry team, this process has not passed half a day.
At the location pointed by the herders, they did find a large number of horseshoe prints, the traces were still very new, and it appeared that a large herd of wild horses had indeed run through here.
This also made the words of the two herders more credible, and in this case, no matter how bad they were, they could still find a wild herd.
Following the trails left by the wild horses, Kree led his team of 1,000 men to track them down.
Wild horses, under normal circumstances, can't run wild, they definitely need to stop to drink water and rest, and there is only one place with water nearby, and looking at the direction of these horseshoe prints, Kree can basically confirm where the horses are running.
After a period of movement, near the water source, Kree motioned for his cavalry to stay behind.
The wild horses are very vigilant, and the movement of thousands of cavalry approaching is too great.
By then, it is very likely that before they could get closer, the horses would run first.
According to the two herdsmen, if the wild horses are really that fast, then at their current speed, they can't catch up at all, so it's better to be cautious.
In this way, Kereh quietly approached with thirty of his own soldiers, and they were extremely familiar with the nearby grasslands, and found themselves an excellent observation spot.
From a long distance, you can see the pond in the distance, and it is a large herd of horses that are drinking and resting around the pond.
According to Kree's eye, there are at least a hundred horses!
And it is very strange that the whole wild horse herd is all white horses.
Kree quickly pulled the binoculars out of his bosom and looked at the horses in the distance.
I saw that the physique of this group of wild horses was not burly, but each of them was quite handsome, and at first glance it was not an ordinary thing.
If he was still skeptical about the words of the two herdsmen before, then at this time, he basically believed it all.
The only problem now is that in the face of that wild horse herd, the thousand horsemen under his command will definitely not be able to handle it.
And just as he was about to call someone back to mobilize his troops, two eagle chirps suddenly came from the sky, which made him stunned.
When I looked up, I saw two eagles hovering in the sky.
