The mass disappearance of the scouts finally made General Rostock fall into a rage.

Then the commander of the Storm Legion issued a military order, and directly pulled out two cavalry battalions, more than 4,000 cavalry, divided into four roads, and conducted a zipper search along the northern part of the Kaspersky Line, along a long line of more than two hundred kilometers.

Because of the lack of intelligence, since the other side could eat a small group of scouts - they could eat so many scouts one by one and not a single live one could be released, General Rostock began to be cautious, and he decided that since the other side could eat a small group of scouts, then the other side must have a lot of troops and strong combat power. Therefore, he ordered that the four cavalry should not be divided, so as not to be broken by the opponent.

Four thousand cavalrymen spent three days and three nights conducting a massive search of the northern part of the Kaspersky Line, walking through hillsides, over woods, and across streams, looking for every suspicious clue.

One by one, the information was sent back to the main stops of the Kaspersky Line. What makes people even more puzzling is that these search teams have found some locations that are thought to be likely to be attacked by scouts, and found some blood stains left on the ground - fortunately this is the north, because of the cold weather, the blood on the ground will not completely evaporate for a while, but the problem is that they have not even found a single corpse! Neither horses nor people!

Finally, on the fourth day of the search, a thousand-strong search party had driven the search area to the edge of the frozen forest. Finally spotted the enemy!

It can be said that this is the first head-to-head night battle between the human army and the army of those guilty people since the war of the Age of Mythology 10,000 years ago!

The thousand-man cavalry spotted enemy tracks on the periphery of an abandoned border town on the southern edge of the frozen forest. The town was once the last populated place at the southern end of the frozen forest, and was once a place for mercenaries to flourish due to poaching. There are also various black-hearted caravans from the mainland that buy prey from Warcraft.

With the establishment of the Kaspersky Line, the town has become an uninhabited place after the migration of the people of the empire north of the line. After a winter, most of the houses collapsed with snow. Once at its most glorious with a population of over a few thousand, this town is now as quiet as a haunted house.

By the time the cavalry of 1,000 men arrived, they had been allowed to enter the longest distance they had ever been allowed to enter—General Rostock's order not to allow them to go any further into the frozen forest.

Seeing that it was already dark, the captain of the Thousand Men had planned to rest the night in this abandoned town. As a result, seeing outside the town that most of the houses here had collapsed under the snow, he dismissed this idea, and instead of ordering the whole army to enter the town, he walked a little distance around the town and ordered the whole army to return the way it came. Saved their fate!!

The battle started in an instant! Just when the order was given to change the rear team to the front team, a group of "monsters" suddenly appeared in the town!!

Those monsters were riding huge giant wolves, the giant wolves were wearing iron armor, and the enemies on the wolf's back were all in iron armor, with a thick and tall body and sharp beaks and fangs. With a beast-like howl, rush to the Empire's search party!

The cavalry of the Empire responded in a hurry, and suffered huge losses in the first moment!

A whole rear team of fifty people was completely wiped out under the first charge of the opponent's giant wolf cavalry. Instead of charging close to the ground, they leap from the abandoned houses of the town in the evening like ghosts!

The cavalry of the empire after the initial panic. The ground cavalry of the Northern Main Battle Legion, which can be called the most sharp in the empire, regained its composure in the shortest time, and the deputy commander of the team leader calmly commanded all the cavalry to turn around and conduct a cavalry hedge with the other party!

The battle was extremely fierce, and the human cavalry was very unaccustomed to the way these monsters fought, jumping back and forth, high and high, and even jumping several meters high. Let the cavalry fall into a bitter battle!

Thankfully, there aren't too many wolf cavalry here. And in the field outside the town, the flat terrain also limits the wolf rider's natural and strong jumping ability!

A full thousand imperial cavalry, facing not many knights in the number of enemies, only about two hundred wolf horsemen. After stubborn resistance, the Imperial cavalry repelled the enemy, and the wolf riders left behind more than twenty corpses, and then took advantage of the darkness to retreat - after the surprise attack failed, they were clever not to fight the Imperial army.

But despite this, the loss figures of the Imperial cavalry are also frustrating...... After the battle, the number of dead cavalrymen reached more than 130, 40 slightly wounded, and 8 seriously wounded.

Such a ratio of battle losses in exchange made the officers of the empire moved!

The cavalry of the Storm Legion, the most sharp in the empire, was between 1,000 against 300 (according to the estimation of the human search team afterwards, the number of those monsters they encountered was definitely no more than 300), such a comparison of forces, although the opponent was a sneak attack, but in the fierce battle in the field, the ratio of losses between humans and the other party was about 1 to 7!

What scared the search team even more in the battle was that fortunately they didn't enter that town! Because in the flat field, the human cavalry could still maintain a complete queue and hedge with the opponent, but if they rushed into the abandoned town before, then on the narrow streets, there were uneven buildings on both sides, and those wolf riders with super terrifying jumping abilities, if they jumped from the buildings on both sides of the road, it was enough to make the human cavalry who were crowded on the narrow streets and could not spread the queue suffer more damage!

And the other party calmly retreated under the cover of night, and the human cavalry could not and did not dare to pursue!

The officer of the Storm Legion who led the team had plenty of experience, and he was astute enough to judge one thing: obviously. This kind of monster on the other side does not seem to have the visual impairment of the night! And more than half of the soldiers of the human race, when it comes to night, will become blind under the effect of night blindness! Although the soldiers of the Storm Legion are well treated and the food is good.

The body is somewhat higher than the average quality of the average human soldier, but the soldier who suffers from night blindness, too

More than 30 percent - this is already the smallest proportion of the emperor [**] team

After the enemy retreated, the search cavalry did not leave immediately, and on the orders of the officer, the cavalry cut open the corpses of a monster on the spot and examined their entrails. This is the basic experience of the Dead Search Scout, who needs to slice open the stomach of the enemy. Check the food left in the opponent's stomach pouch to determine whether the opponent's military rations are sufficient.

But after cutting open the stomach of a monster on the spot, the scene shocked everyone!

Because the soldier in charge of moving the knife, in the stomach pouch of a monster, saw a few fingers!

These fingers have not yet been digested. There is still a roughly complete outline, and it is clear that it belongs to humans!

And from the stomach of a giant wolf, some other parts of the human body were also found......

This leads to a very simple conclusion: they eat people! or rather, their food is humans!

And. Most likely, they ate the same scout cavalry that disappeared earlier!

―

In a dangerous situation, the officers of this search team immediately made a decision, they could not leave the corpses of the soldiers who had died in battle here to be ruined by the enemy, but more than a hundred huge corpses, if they were all brought with them, would easily reduce the speed of the march, thus increasing the possibility of being attacked on the road.

So the officer endured the pain. Let the corpses of more than 100 cavalrymen who died in battle be set on fire!

This decision filled people's hearts with grief and anger. Because of the custom in the Roland Continent, people cannot be cremated after death! Only those who are burned to death on the stake of the temple are heretics who "enjoy" cremation treatment!

But in order to prevent the bodies of these soldiers who died in battle from being turned into food for the enemy's stomach, the search team had to make this reluctant decision.

After setting off a fire, the remaining human cavalry Jǐng Ti returned.

――――――――――――――――――――

The other three search teams also encountered varying degrees of fighting later, but they were all much smaller in comparison. A search party encountered about twenty giant wolf cavalry. However, the enemy is cunning, hundreds of meters away. When he saw the cavalry of the human army, he quickly went away.

Another search party found five wolf riders, and after paying the price of six dead and four wounded, killed three of them, but allowed the other two to escape with wounds.

When six days later, the search team all returned to Kaspersky's main fortress and handed over all the information of the line, which immediately caused a sensation!

Many people have seen the corpse of the giant wolf that was brought back, as well as those wolf cavalry!

The wolf cavalry resembles a human, but is taller and stronger, and after taking off their armor, their body structure resembles that of a human with a wolf's head, but their whole body is covered with thick fur - and after analysis, the emperor [**] people have come to a sighing conclusion: this is an unknown creature, and their whole body fur makes them much more resistant to cold than humans! In other words, in the cold weather of the north, they can not care about the cold weather at all, and they can maintain sufficient physical strength and combat effectiveness in the severe cold - these are the weaknesses of human beings.

From the analysis of the battle process, these monsters not only have strong combat effectiveness, their individual combat effectiveness is far stronger than that of human cavalry, after analysis, the emperor [**] team made a rough judgment, about such a wolf cavalry's combat effectiveness, enough to be equal to the two jīng sharp cavalry of humans!

Of course, if this is all there is, it will not be intimidating to humans, because these brave cavalry of the Stormwind Legion have fought in the frozen forest for many years against the mighty Warcraft, which also possess great fighting power.

But the problem is that there are two other reasons for the psychological changes and even a hint of fear that really make human beings:

First of all, after analyzing the course of the battle, the humans concluded that this enemy had a high level of intelligence! They wore armor, and even their mount, the giant wolf, wore iron armor. And, judging by the course of the battle, they understand the tactics of group battles!

Article 2...... They eat people!

In other words, this is a race of highly intelligent creatures who know how to use tactics, know how to use weapons, and feed on humans...... At the same time, I'm afraid there are a lot of them!

Such a conclusion is enough to shake the hearts of the military.

"This is just a small scout of the enemy!" In the Commander's Palace, General Rostock gathered all the generals under his command, and everyone unanimously made a judgment: "This is just a vanguard scout sent to inspect the terrain before the enemy invades on a large scale! Just like us humans use cavalry as scouts and vanguards! They use this giant wolf cavalry as vanguards and scouts! They came from the north and walked out of the frozen forest! After they have finished surveying the terrain of this area in the north...... What awaits us will be a large number of these monster enemies. ”

General Rostock's face sank, and finally he finally made a decision: "Summons, tell General Andre to send his airship troops." We can no longer let the fighters go out on horseback to reconnoiter the situation. It's too dangerous, and the squad is only sent to death. From now on, scouts are not allowed to go beyond a ten-mile radius around the fortress, and other areas are ...... Leave it to General Andrew's air forces!"

Looking at the different expressions of the generals, General Rostock suddenly stood up and shouted: "I know what everyone is thinking! But I don't think it's worth fearing! We are the Storm Legion! We are invincible warriors in the snow! We have faced hordes of terrible monsters! And now we have better equipment, strong fortresses and fortresses, and a large number of friendly troops! We are ready for war! So...... Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time for us to be afraid!" Rostock stared at the generals and gritted his teeth, "Rather...... Fight time!!"

After speaking, Rostock drew his long sword and held it high in his hand: "Fight for Roland!!"

The generals were solemn and drew their long swords in response: "Fight for Roland!!"
