readx;
The grasslands at night in winter were extremely cold, and the cold wind howled through the air, and the night wind brought the low howl of unknown beasts in the distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the atmosphere in the camp of the Imperial Mission was warm, the bonfire flames that used the fire spirit array as the base rose, happily licking the venison on the iron frame, the fat in the fresh meat was roasted to a sizzling sound, Han Fei skillfully brushed the barbecue with a brush and a layer of prepared sauce on the barbecue, and the overflowing fragrance made the knights sitting in front of the bonfire swallow their saliva in unison.
The temperature of the flame condensed by the spirit method was very high, and one of the fattest deer legs was quickly roasted to the outside and tender inside, Han Fei did not enjoy it himself after taking it off, but handed it to the bearded knight: "Take this deer leg and give it to the eldest prince and princess." ”
Although Ye Changfeng and Ye Bingmei ate well and had a special chef, it was not so easy to eat such fresh venison, and Han Fei sent a deer leg to show his respect for the royal family.
The bearded knight took the deer's leg and replied, and immediately sent it to the large tent in the center of the camp.
Although a horned deer weighed several hundred catties, it would definitely not have much meat in the hands of many guard knights, but fortunately, Woking had already found the trace of the deer, and dragged back three prey back and forth several times, and Han Fei gave two of them to the guard knights on the barbarian side.
Duke Ascot sent a full 200 elite air knights to protect the Imperial Mission, which greatly exceeded the number of royal air knights, and they had a different division of labor from the royal air knights, responsible for patrolling, guarding, defending, and leading the way around the perimeter.
Whether it is the barbarian air knight or the royal air knight, they have all experienced the baptism of war, and most of them have fought fiercely on the God of War Mountain Range, and they were originally opponents of life and death.
Now, although the empire and the barbarians have reached a peace covenant, the grudge between the two sides is so easy to eliminate, so although the air knights of the two sides have common duties, they usually have no communication at all, and when they camp, they also occupy the well water in each place and do not interfere with the river water.
Han Fei sent the horned deer to send a signal of goodwill to the other party, after all, the two sides will have to fight side by side in the future, if they go their own way, the joint effect of the two sides will be greatly reduced, and in the end, it will only be the demon side that is cheaper.
His actions may not have much effect, but many big things often start with small things.
The Barbarian Sky Knight accepted his kindness and accepted the two horned deer and gave them the liquor they had brought in return, which made the atmosphere in the camp much more harmonious.
"His Royal Highness!"
The knights who were munching on fragrant venison suddenly got up and saluted, and Ye Changfeng actually came to the campfire where Han Fei was alone.
He patted the shoulder of a knight next to him who hadn't had time to swallow the meat in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Everyone doesn't need to be polite, sit down and talk, eat meat and drink!"
After saying that, he was the first to sit down, and sat on the ground like the other knights, and took a wine jug on the ground and poured it very invisibly: "Good wine!"
Of course, Ye Changfeng's amiable and unashamed posture won the favor of the knights, and everyone sat down one after another.
Han Fei secretly admired in his heart, to say that his Royal Highness the Crown Prince was definitely a first-class figure to win over people's hearts, and he narrowed the distance in a few words and a few actions without giving people the feeling of surrendering his identity, no wonder Emperor Yeshi would send him to the southern army to lead the army, and now he was transferred back to serve as the imperial envoy, if he was allowed to continue to operate in Yanjing Shengjing, it might pose a threat to His Majesty the Emperor.
This is definitely not an uncommon thing, for thousands of years, the struggle for power between the human royal family and the royal family can write a magnificent classic, in which the darkness, blood and tears are cruel is unimaginable to outsiders, even if Emperor Yeshi loves his children again, he will not use imperial power at all.
"Marquis Han Fei, thank you for the roasted deer legs, I and the ninth sister have tasted it, I didn't expect you to have such a hand!" Night Changfeng gave Han Fei a thumbs up.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment..."Han Fei smiled.
Along the way, the night breeze faintly showed his intention to woo him, but he was quite subtle and his bearing was impeccable.
Beep!Beep!~ A sharp whistle suddenly sounded not far away, and Han Fei and the knights were stunned for a moment, and they all got up in unison.
This whistle represents the alarm from the sentinels deployed on the perimeter of the camp, the Imperial Envoys are not without scouts, and in the dark night the sentinels are not far from the camp, and their alarm is also not far from danger.
"The first team and the second team left behind to guard the middle battalion and the two highnesses, and everyone in the third team came with me, ready to take to the air to fight at any time!" Han Fei shouted in a deep voice.
Although Han Fei was not the supreme commander of the Imperial Envoys, he was responsible for the duties of security and protection, and more than a hundred Royal Sky Knights were all under his command, and naturally there was no one who disobeyed an order.
Ye Changfeng was the supreme commander, and he was also a powerful high-ranking knight and a former commander of the legion, so he naturally did not have the slightest fear of the sudden danger, but he did not fight with Han Fei for command, but returned under the escort of the knights.
The third team of knights left the wine and meat in their hands, drew their weapons and followed Han Fei to the side of the grassy hill, the whistle came from that direction, and many barbarian knights also walked in the same direction, and the iron armor gathered into a stream.
As soon as they ran to the top of the grassy hill, they saw two barbarian knights hurrying over, their faces full of horror: "It's the Ug tribe's quick-claw beast herd, which is rushing in this direction, and there are at least several hundred!"
"Urg, how did they end up here!" said a barbarian wizard in surprise.
This wizard was none other than Feoron, the Titan Empire's envoy to the Holy King, who accompanied the mission back to the Sparks and was also the supreme commander on the Barbarian side.
No one could answer the Great Wizard's question, and everyone standing on the grassy knoll could see the green dots in the dark grassland in the distance, one by one, rapidly lit up, and the number of these green dots with more and more wandering trajectories was impossible to count.
What's even more terrifying is that the grass beneath his feet also began to shake, and it became more and more violent, which was not an earthquake but a sign of a thousand troops and horses!
Ug Clan! Han Fei's eyes flashed, and his expression became a little more solemn.
He had lurked in the Storm Fortress for a period of time, and he had a considerable understanding of the Titan Empire, and of course he was no stranger to the Uger Clan.
The barbarians occupy the most extensive territory of the four major races, and more than half of the territory of the Titan Empire is covered by the northern steppes, which can be said to be the lifeblood of the barbarians. However, the vast northern steppe is not only a barbarian, in addition to many spirit animals and animals, there are also some indigenous peoples from ancient times and even ancient times.
Under the pressure of powerful barbarians, most of these natives were annexed, assimilated or directly wiped out, but a very small number survived, and the Uger were one of them, and the most powerful one!
The Ug tribe has lived in the northern steppes for generations, they live on nomadic hunting, both men and women are fierce and warlike, good at using bows and arrows and serving several fierce spirit animals, although they never give in to the suppression of the barbarians, they are the object of headaches for the Titan Empire.
Duke Ascot sent an elite air cavalry to protect the Imperial Mission, guarding against the Ug tribe rather than the beasts or robbers on the grassland, but the area where the Ug tribe operates is mostly in the western part of the grassland, and the appearance of the Ug envoy beast herd here is obviously beyond Feioron's expectations.
The speedclaw beast is one of the most powerful war pets of the Ug tribe, each adult speedclaw beast is more than three meters tall, the skin is rough and thick, and the defense ability is very high, when running and moving, it stands on both feet, and its two forelimbs have hook-like claws, and the minions can easily tear through the armor made of refined iron.
This fifth-order beast has extremely strong running speed and endurance, and is good at running and attacking at night, if it is assembled in large numbers under the command of the Wuge warriors, coupled with another kind of air riding iron-winged wind eagle, it can completely compete with the elite barbarian army, which is an important reason why they have never been wiped out by the Titan Empire.
The Uger clan is quite hostile to the Titan Empire, and it is impossible for a large number of speed-clawed beasts to appear here just passing by, and there is a good chance that they are coming to the Imperial Mission.
It's just that there is no way to know whether the other party happened to encounter an attack by Qi Nian or an expected ambush interception, and Han Fei's heart couldn't help but be full of doubts.
But now is not the time to think about these problems, seeing that the number of speed claw beasts in the distance continues to increase, and spread out towards the two wings to encircle it, Han Fei immediately said: "Your Excellency Feoron, please stay in the guard camp and let me lead people to intercept first!"
Feoron is a god-level wizard, and he plus another god-level ** master in the mission will jointly defend the middle camp, which should be able to ensure the safety of the two highnesses, but if the opponent's beast herd rushes straight over, then he will undoubtedly be in an extremely passive situation in defense, and only by taking the initiative to meet it can he charge and exert the power of a group of high-level knights.
Feoron understood this, of course, and he immediately said, "All our knights are under your command. ”
"Knights!" his old voice echoed across the grassy knoll, "Please join His Excellency Han Fei to kill the enemy and prove your bravery with the blood of the enemy!"
"Phew!"
More than a hundred barbarian knights, along with dozens of royal knights, raised their weapons in the air and roared against the icy night wind.
Under Han Fei's leadership, they opened their legs and fearlessly faced the enemy rushing from afar.
Behind them, dozens of griffons scrambled into the air.
