Wasteland, ancient roads, convoys move slowly.

The sun, the cavalry, the swords and guns are lined up.

The convoy drifted away, disappearing into the wasteland and never to be seen again.

The sun gradually set, disappearing into the distant sky without a trace of afterglow.

When the darkness was about to completely envelop the entire wasteland, the sound of hooves sounded again on the ancient road, and the two cavalry galloped forward and backward on the ancient road.

Running in front was a tall, sturdy male lion, and on the lion's back was a sword-backed lion man wearing golden soft leather armor and a red cloak, which was none other than the Golden Lion Guard, the most elite orc warrior under the command of the lion king Eliot. The mount of the lion guard is also a lion that is more majestic and ferocious than the wolf.

The Golden Lion Guard was followed by the most common wolf cavalry among the orcs, but the wolf under the knight was a rare white color, and it was a full circle larger than the usual wolf seat.

These two cavalry were the scout cavalry of the Hicks Orc Escort, not only the cavalry with pathfinders in front of the convoy, but also the scout cavalry from the back and on the left and right sides, so as to warn in advance of the danger of approaching the convoy from any direction.

Without warning, a sharp arrow shot out of the grass beside the ancient road, heading straight for the neck of the wolf cavalry behind.

The well-trained wolf cavalry reacted the moment the arrows broke through the wind, turned their heads sideways, and reached out to draw the long sword at their waist.

His long sword was only half drawn, and a figure rushed out of the barren grass next to the ancient road, almost in a flash of figure behind the wolf cavalry, and the cold light tore the throat of the wolf cavalry in a flash.

The whole action is as fast as a ghost and can be done in one go.

Hearing the movement behind him, the Golden Lion Guard turned his head to look back, but at the moment he turned his head, another figure jumped up from the wild grass, and the three-point silver star stabbed at his chest.

The Golden Lion Guard reacted instantly, kicked his feet, and his body flew directly upside down from the lion's back, and at the same time flew upside down, drawing the long sword from his back.

Golly's sneak attack missed, and the spear turned into a straight line and stabbed again, directly hitting the heart of the lion guard's eyebrows.

The Lion Guard blocks with his sword.

The spear shook, changed his tactics halfway, shook out three spears, and stabbed his throat and hung on his left and right chests.

The lion guard's complexion changed, and he rushed forward sideways, slashing with the power of his big sword, and he was actually desperately planning to exchange injuries for injuries.

Golly drew her spear and dodged, dodging a sword from the front of the Golden Lionguard.

The Golden Lion's face was overjoyed, and he took advantage of the situation to continue to rush forward, but he wanted to escape from Gori's entanglement.

This was obviously a premeditated ambush, and as a scout, his duty was not to fight with the other side, but to pass back the information of the attack.

The Lion Guard took a step forward, but the spear Golly withdrew swung in an arc towards his calf.

Grand Duke Ross's family legend of "Hundred Birds Shooting at the Phoenix" is unpredictable, and the Golden Lion Guard is in a hurry to get rid of it, completely unprepared for Golly's shot to the calf.

Whether it is a human or a beast, the lower leg bone is the most vulnerable part of the body. With a crisp snap, the lion's calf bone was broken by a shot, and he fell forward screaming.

Golly followed with a shot in the back of his heart, stabbing the golden lion guard to death.

Arthur, Huey, and Joan all gathered around, and there was no trace of joy on their faces that the ambush was successful, but their faces were full of solemnity.

This was only a tentative attack, and the combat power of the orc guards from the Royal Court Praetorian Guard was still expected, but the Golden Lion Guard did live up to its reputation. Even a top-level combat force like Goli had to take a lot of effort to sneak attack first, and if the ordinary soldiers of the cavalry regiment were against him, maybe seven or eight people would be able to hold back a golden lion guard.

The terrifying thing is that there are forty-nine such golden lion guards, not to mention that there are more powerful orc warriors on it.

Arthur: The challenges they face are far more difficult than they imagined!

......

It was late at night, and the lights were still on in the golden-roofed tent of the orc makeshift camp.

The old priest of the fox man hurriedly walked into the golden-domed tent.

"It's so late, the old priest hasn't rested yet?" Hicks, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating his fighting spirit, opened his eyes.

"Something happened, the two reconnaissance cavalrymen we released in the rear did not return to the camp on time after the stipulated time. There was a hint of anxiety on the old priest's face.

"Don't report this kind of small matter to me anymore, just let Captain Noha handle it. ”

"Things are a little strange, they have exceeded the authority of Captain Noha, so I have no choice but to disturb His Royal Highness the Prince's rest so late. ”

Hicks snorted, "Is there anything else Captain Noha and the old priest can't decide?"

"Captain Noah has sent two Golden Lion Guards and a small group of wolf cavalry along the way to find the two missing scouts, the team has been sent out for a long time, but no news has come back. We're guessing they've had the same mishaps as the two Scouts. ”

Hicks got up from the ground and paced back and forth in the room, "And what are you going to do about it?"

"Captain Noah intends to take a team of cavalry to check it out himself, but I have not agreed, Captain Noha is waiting for your orders at any time outside the account. ”

"Why?"

"I'm worried that when the enemy moves the tiger away from the mountain, there is nothing to lose one or two teams of cavalry, and your safety here is the most important thing, prince!" said the fox priest solemnly.

"You're doing the right thing, old priest, if the enemy has already prepared a pocket for us to get into, and then it would be foolish to jump in desperately. Hicks was also very cautious in his handling of the matter.

"Starting with the scouts, the other party's purpose is likely to be aimed at His Royal Highness the Prince, so we must prepare early. The old priest said hesitantly.

"Who could have done it? Is it the Terran cavalry you're talking about?" Hicks' eyes flashed with inexplicable excitement.

The old priest shook his head slowly, "Now that we are in the light and the enemy is in the dark, everything is difficult to say. It could be the Terran cavalry, but it could be our own?"

"Who gave them the courage to hit my Golden Lion Clan, aren't they afraid of being wiped out?"

"The border region has always been unpeaceful, and many unruly hunting parties roam the area, and in addition to the villages and towns of the Terrans who have crossed the border, there are also black sheep who have plundered our own tribes and caravans. There are also tribes that are swaying between us and the Bloodflame Wolves, and whichever side gives the most benefit will go to whichever side?" the old priest detailed the situation in the border area.

"You mean this could also be the Bloodflame Wolf's doing?"

"I mean, including that Terran cavalry, there are many forces that could pose a threat to His Highness's safety?"

Hicks sneered, "I really think that the golden lion and I, Hicks, can't make a mess, I'll just wait here to see who dares to show their heads in the end?"

"Your Highness, don't be angry, this place is isolated, you just plan to lead them to show their heads, and you can't stay here. The old priest hurriedly persuaded.

"And what does the old priest mean?"

"When we move, the other person will follow suit. It is less than eighty miles away from the Toto tribe, and the Toto tribe has been loyal to the Golden Lion family for generations, so my suggestion is that we set off overnight and rush to the Toto tribe, and if we travel all the way, we can reach the Toto tribe in the second half of the night. ”

Hicks smiled disdainfully, "No, let's go slowly, I'm going to see who shows up in the end?"
