Chapter 120: Xia Zuo's Challenge

"The glory of the Titans belongs to the warriors who swear to defend the truth, and your heroic souls will return to the land of the gods under the guidance of the Titans" The mysterious Titan's messenger under the blood-colored cloak, with his hands raised to the sky at his side, and the mournful and melodious voice of the host's requiem Mass, sent the souls of the warriors who died in battle back to the kingdom of the Titans!

The heavy-faced soldiers solemnly took off their helmets and stood silently in an upright row behind the Titan oracle, using the stones they had picked up to build a sturdy grave to prevent the beasts from picking up the sleeping place of the heroic spirits.

Count Sidwar looked at the large graveyard stretching in front of him with a grim face, just one contact had cost him so many elite warriors, and what was even more odious was that this damn massacre had happened right in front of their eyes, and they had nothing to do but watch.

Although there was Meglor shouting loudly that he was willing to bear all the consequences, in the end Sidwar still did not order the archers to shoot arrows, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't need to!

The one-sided slaughter ended quickly, and the number of one-to-two was far from enough to support the heavy infantry against an army led by strong warriors.

The sudden appearance of the orcs, like a tide, retreated as swiftly, they walked quickly, evading the archers' aiming, and quickly moved their legs and carried their wounded and killed companions on the opposite bank of the snow field quickly disappeared.

By the time the expeditionary force crossed the river again, the bodies of the donors had been completely frozen, and most of them had been buried by the snow blown up by the breeze, and the battlefield was littered with the corpses of many wild beasts. Their feathered arrows fluttered slightly in the wind, they were hungry beasts attracted by the smell of blood and ready to feast, but they all fell to the archers who protected the remains of the heroes.

"It's just some dead waste!Where do you need such trouble!" Meglor didn't care about the angry eyes of the soldiers next to him, more than a thousand elite warriors who were heavily armed couldn't defeat more than five hundred beasts, but they were all just useless waste, and he didn't feel distressed when he died.

"Let's hurry up and get on our way!" Meglor urged impatiently, the damn funeral had already taken them half a day, and most importantly, for the sake of all the useless waste that was already dead. It was so noble that he stood in the snow for so long. And to stain his precious handmade riding boots with this damn filthy dirt and blood, which is simply an insult to his noble blood.

The Count of Sidwar did not speak, but walked calmly and briskly to his horse, supported by two warriors. Stomp on the stirrups and get on the horse. A taciturn wave of his hand. Leading the army directly belonging to the Savani family, and as the nobles and lords boarded their horses with the support of the guards, the ranks of the expeditionary force once again wriggled on the snowy field.

It's just compared to the previous momentum. The lifeless team was eerily silent.

"Your Excellency, the morale of the team is low, there is no way to fight like this, do you want to take some measures to improve the momentum!" "After doing his best before, Kane and Count Sidwar gradually got along, and rode to the earl's side.

"Measures, what else can be done now?" Sidwar flicked his horsewhip angrily, and secretly waited for a large number of nobles gathered around Meglor not far behind him, although he was also a nobleman from the most powerful family in the empire, he was only an unstable heir.

There is no way for these noble children from wealthy families in the army to do so, although he is nominally a commander, but he can only command the team directly under the Savani family, Sidwar can't help but regret it in his heart, maybe he really shouldn't rashly lead the team to crusade against the Gravel Wasteland.

"But, Your Excellency!!" Kane frowned slightly, as the commander of the expeditionary force, how could he still lose his temper at this time, Kane thought about how to persuade Sidvar, he is not a man of words, otherwise he would not have been stationed in Sarnia for so long, but the relationship with the nobles is getting worse and worse.

"Your Excellency, it's extraordinary now, it's not" Sure enough, as soon as Kane spoke, Sidwal's brow furrowed, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Kane's tone seemed to be teaching himself, which reminded him of a person he didn't want to think of.

"Captain Kane, remember who you're talking to!I've got my own considerations for this!" Sidwar said with a cold face, "I think you'd better do your own thing!"

Kane's face darkened, he was not a person who tended to be inflammatory, and the reason why he reminded Sidwar was because he felt that Sidvar was different from the rest of the nobles, and secondly, because of the threat posed by Xia Zuo and his team.

The burly body silently bowed slightly on the horse, and was ready to leave.

As it happens, there is often something to mention, and just as the black-faced Kane was about to leave to return to his team, a loud and wild shout pierced the sky.

The soldiers of the expeditionary force who walked forward silently followed the voice, and on the small hill about two miles away from them beside them, a figure stood alone, with a sturdy body facing the cold wind on the wasteland, black hair fluttering in the wind, and a slightly immature face added a bit of an invincible atmosphere that looked down on the world!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the expeditionary force suddenly panicked, the infantry raised their spears, erected their shields, and formed a vigilant formation, while the archers nervously put their bows and arrows, and their eyes constantly looked around vigilantly.

"Hey, cowards down there, do any of you dare to come and compete with me!" Whistling at the expeditionary force not far away, Xia Zuo hooked his fingers and laughed arrogantly.

"Isn't there a person with guts?" Xia Zuo laughed as he looked at the silent expeditionary force, and became more and more arrogant and climbed the boulder beside him and squatted on it with disdain, "It turns out that the so-called human elite is just a group of cowards without guts, no wonder I watched my companions being slaughtered yesterday, you cowardly cowards, no one dared to come up to avenge them?"

Xia Zuo, who disdainfully put his ears on and became more and more arrogant, beat the strings of glory in the hearts of the soldiers of the expeditionary force.

"Damn!" Sidwar's eyes burned with anger, he naturally knew that the team was in a low state now, and now that the other party was facing the provocation, if he didn't make any response, the momentum of the expeditionary force would completely fall to the bottom, "Whoever helps me kill that orc, I will reward him with 50,000 gold coins, and if he is captured alive, I will reward him with 100,000 gold coins!"

At the same time that Sidwar threw out an absolutely tempting reward, Count Meglor, who was provoked by the arrogant Xia Zuo, also jumped to his feet and shouted to issue a reward that all the expeditionary forces were excited about: "Whoever slaughtered that bastard for me and skinned him, I will let him choose a fighting skill in the noble Primel family!"

This voice made Sidwar slightly shocked, Primel is a powerful family to which Meglor belongs, one of the oldest families in the Rodman Dynasty, and the historical family has stored a large number of fighting skills.

Do you want to give you some of the most powerful golden fighting skills of the Primel family?

Regardless of Sidwar's taunt in his heart, the two of them shouted out, and immediately a row of self-righteous knights came out of the ranks.

It is indeed a row of knights rather than a row of cavalry, after seeing Xia Zuo's strength yesterday, they naturally will not be stupid to go up and send them to death, enough numbers and attractive bounties can give them the courage to charge, a full five knights in gorgeous armor rode forward, lined up in a neat row, including two high-level warriors who fought with Xia Zuo yesterday.

A spear several meters long was flattened, the sharp tip of the spear pointed at Xia Zuo on the hillside, the combat boots inlaid with spurs kicked the war horse, and the sturdy and tall war horse kicked and flew in all directions, and in the sound of the horse's hooves, it also flew to Xia Zuo on the small hillside to launch a rapid charge.

Tens of thousands of eyes are converging on this row of knights at this moment, and their hearts are beating with the horse's hooves, although they saw Xia Zuo's strength yesterday, but today they are five powerful knights charging at the same time, and each knight is no weaker than the adults who fought with this orc yesterday.

Who could it be that would be able to get that tempting reward? The hearts of the soldiers of the expeditionary force had already begun to speculate secretly.

When the knight charged, Xia Zuo had already stopped shouting, stood on the boulder in the wind, and quietly watched the knight approaching, after all, he was a knight who was fully armed, and almost all of them had the strength of high-level warriors, coupled with the strong impact carried by the war horse, this is indeed a challenge for Xia Zuo now.

The blood was burning, and the body facing the cold wind trembled slightly with excitement because of the upcoming challenge.

The small hill on which Xia Zuo stood was not too high, and the angle was barely more than twenty degrees, so such a gentle slope would naturally not affect the charge of the knights.

As the final sprint began, the well-trained knights bowed down in unison, raised their spears and protected their bodies with kite-shaped shields, while constantly stabbing their horses in the stomach with their spurs.

At the same time as the knights launched their final charge, Xia Zuo, who was standing on the boulder, suddenly moved without saying a word, his legs swinging, and his swift body crashed into the charging knight from the small hillside.

The galloping war horse, the swift Xia Zuo, the distance between each other was not long and shortened rapidly, just at the moment when the sharp knight's spear was about to touch Xia Zuo, Xia Zuo seemed to be unstable on his feet, and suddenly leaned down, galloping on all fours, carrying a spear with a strong wind passing overhead.

The knight, who was slightly stunned, couldn't help but laugh secretly at Xia Zuo's movements! A beast is a beast!

But before the smile behind his helmet could unfold, Xia Zuo, who came wrapped in a strong wind, collided with the galloping war horse fiercely. (To be continued......)
