In the middle of the canyon, a group of people are hurrying forward.

They were the fifty scouts that Essage called the Light Armor Troop.

At this moment, they were advancing at full speed towards Lintan County in Yuzhou, the Han Empire.

It was May 14, 940 A.D.

After a slight correction of half a day on May 11, these 50 people have been on the road day and night for three days, and they have rushed from Mihai County, 500 miles away, to Lintan County today, in three days.

During these three days, they avoided the main roads, away from the people, and walked exclusively through the valleys and mountain streams.

Kidman, who no longer complained about the climate in Handi, was now quietly speeding through the group, next to his old partner and Scout Chief Goodman, and himself as the Deputy Scout Leader.

It is the same as the epaulettes of the other forty people.

Goodman and Bydman have been comrades-in-arms and partners for many years, Goodman is a spearman, leading twenty spear warriors and ten soul masters; Baidman was a spear-thrower, leading twenty spear-throwers.

This configuration is standard for Essenchy's light armor and white parts.

It is the tradition of the nomad-born Essenchi to arrange two types of war spears and spear throwing in the Tabai Department of the reconnaissance attribute, but it has been a matter of recent years to integrate the soul master into the reconnaissance team.

In traditional thinking, the four types of mages that control soul energy, such as soul attackers, soul hunters, soul control masters, and soul masters, all give people the feeling of being weak and boneless, and their defenses are not high.

However, as a mage class that can directly enhance the specific attributes of the soul, if he enhances the soul energy against the defensive attribute, his defense is actually not weak.

However, the soul masters who were incorporated into the Light Armor White Division were not mages who studied to increase defense attributes, they studied spells that enhanced the attributes of eye and ear power in enhancing the soul energy.

Because for scouts who focus on detecting the enemy and surveying the terrain, it is obvious that the priority of over-distance vision and ear power is higher than the defense power when facing the enemy.

At this moment, the crescent moon was hidden in the thick dark clouds, so that the cliff path taken by the fifty scouts could not be reached.

If an ordinary person walks on such a night road, he will fall into the mountain stream because of stepping on the rocks in a short time, and his bones will be lost.

However, these fifty people walked as fast as if they were walking on the ground, and judging from the golden soul qi emanating from their eyes, they were all enhanced by the soul master in the team, and they had night vision.

Goodman, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly clenched his left hand into a fist, signaling the whole team to stop advancing, Baidman leaned in front of him and asked softly, "But is there a situation?" ”

Goodman's left hand quickly pressed down, and everyone lowered their bodies, hiding their bodies in the shadows of the bushes beside them.

"It should be a group of scouts from the Yuzhou garrison," Goodman whispered close to Baidman's ear, "don't worry, let's hide first, and then hurry when they're far away." ”

Baideman nodded, then raised his body slightly to see that eight hundred meters away was a group of five-man mountain patrol scouts dressed as soldiers of the Han Empire walking towards their hiding place.

Among the five people, four of them carried lanterns to illuminate the mountain road, opened the road in front, and one person rode behind them, Xu was a general, and these five people were indeed the standard Han Empire mountain patrol scout configuration.

Hiding in the shadows of the bushes, Goodman and the others held their breath, slowed their heartbeat, and remained motionless, for fear of alerting the Han Empire scouts who were walking towards their hiding place.

The five Han Empire scouts brushed past the bushes where Goodman's people were hiding, and the sound of them stepping on the ground as they walked was so sharp to Goodman that it sounded to Goodman.

As the Han Scouts were about to leave Goodman's hideout, Goodman faintly heard the sound of metal grinding in the silence of the night.

While he was still discerning what it was, a strong gust of wind brushed his sideburns and met him, followed by a crisp sound of metal clashing!

Then Bydman's snap exploded in the night sky.

"Be careful!"

Speaking too late, Goodman immediately retreated sharply, only to find that Baidman's war spear was inserted in the original hiding place, and the sound of metal colliding just now was the sound of this war spear and a Han Imperial saber colliding.

If it weren't for Baidman's spear, Goodman, who was lightly armoured and protected, would have been injured by this saber, and there was no sound when the knife was slashed.

Thinking about it this way, the subtle sound of metal rubbing that I heard just now was the sound of this Han Empire saber being pulled out of its scabbard.

Bydman, who was far away, saw the cold moonlight reflected in the air when the saber fell, so he instinctively threw a spear to block, which helped Goodman block the fatal blow.

"It's a war spear?!" It was the owner who had chopped down this Han Empire saber who asked this, and he shouted, "Who are you?" Why are you hiding here? ”

Goodman, who was proficient in the official dialect of the Han Empire, did not answer this person's question, but asked rhetorically, "We have held our breath and slowed our heartbeat, how did you find us?" ”

"It's simple," the Han Empire soldier with his saber suddenly shouted into the air, "Blessing! ”

"Come, come? Is he shouting Blessing? Bydman asked Goodman in surprise, and Goodman nodded noncommittally at him.

In the astonishment of the Esage scouts, a low, seeping roar from the throat of an unknown beast came from afar, followed by the rumbling of the limbs of a giant creature as it ran through the mountains.

As the rumbling sound came from far and near, the sand and gravel on the mountain under everyone's feet also shook.

When everyone's attention was attracted by the sand and gravel under their feet, when they suddenly raised their heads, a giant beast appeared in front of everyone, and it was actually a burly wolf more than one person tall!

When the gray-haired wolf saw the Han soldier holding his saber, he bowed his head and stuck out his tongue, like a docile puppy, and let the soldier stroke the hair on his neck.

Seeing this scene, Goodman and Baidman looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel nervous: "It's actually a beast master......

Warlocks are those who study the spiritual power of controlling all things in nature, and those who specialize in harnessing the power of the five natural elements of air, thunder, earth, water, and fire are called spiritual masters.

By harnessing the power of nature, the Soul Rider can bless his defense, attack, physical strength, endurance and other attributes, and the high-level Soul Rider can shake the world and turn the tide of the battlefield with the power of a single person.

There is also a type of warlock who specializes in harnessing the power of natural beasts, and they can achieve the purpose of external blessings by controlling birds and beasts and establishing a master-slave relationship with these summoned creatures.

The level of the Beast Rider is directly related to the type of creature they control, and in short, the more powerful the creatures summoned by the higher-level Beast Rider, and the higher-level Beast Rider can even summon legendary artifacts for their own use.

It's relatively easy to summon a creature, but it's hard to establish a master-slave relationship with a summoned creature, and if one is not good, the Beast Rider will be killed by the creature being recruited.

Once the master-slave relationship is established, the recruited creature will be driven by the beast rider for life, and the five senses of the recruited creature will reach a general understanding with the beast master, that is, the beast rider can use the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and nose of the recruited creature to spy on the world.

Such a master-slave relationship ends at the end of the life of the creature or beast rider being recruited.

Goodman and Bydman had a beast rider right in front of them, and his cultivation was not low, because he was a wolf who had established a master-slave relationship.

The Qui Wolf is a species of timber wolf that likes to live in rugged mountains, and the adult Qui Wolf can reach about six to eight meters from head to tail, and even more than ten meters, such as the one in front of him.

The wolf's eyesight and ears are excellent, and the wind and grass, flies and mosquitoes within a radius of a kilometer can see the subtleties, so it is no wonder that the beast riders who have established general knowledge with it can detect the location of Goodman and the others.

Kui wolves like meat, especially like to eat Huangyan sheep that live on the cliffs, so it is also called "sheep sorrow".

Despite its stout physique and heavy hair, it is very fast, and can throw its target to the ground in an instant, and then bite its neck until the opponent's blood runs dry.

is such a wolf, and he was called "Blessing" by the beast rider in front of him, and the scene was quite funny.

"Laifu, how many lambs did you eat today?" The beast rider asked softly, touching his wolf's neck.

The wolf's mouth opened and closed, and it was actually answering, but what it was answering, I am afraid that only the beast rider knows.

The purple seal on the wolf's forehead and the purple seal on the palm of the beast rider's hand reflect each other's master-slave relationship, and in the eyes of Goodman and Baidman, they seem to be showing off.

The beast rider squinted at Goodman's light armor and the people in the White Division, with contempt and hostility in his eyes: "Oh? So you want to change your taste and eat a few wild people today? ”

With that, the wolf's head was lowered to the ground, and a cold light shot out of Goodman's eyes, its mouth slightly open, and from its throat let out a low roar before predation, and the large, sharp fangs that emerged from its mouth reminded Baidman of the large fangs on his mask.

The beast rider touched the hair on the wolf's head and said coldly to the Goodmans, "You guys with light armor and war spears don't just want to hunt, right?" Tell me, who are you? What is the intention? If I hadn't said it, I would have been hungry and thirsty. ”

With his right hand behind his back, Goodman made a gesture of preparation for battle, and the latter knowingly touched the handle of the folding spear at his right waist.

These actions were carried out in secret, and Akari Goodman defended the owner of the Rifle by saying, "If I say that we are here to worship and marry, you will not believe it—right? ”

Before the word "咯" was pronounced, Baidman had already made the third chase in his life against the wolf.
