Chapter 166: Star City Advance Team

Seven days had passed since he came here to recuperate, and with the help of Iliad, the god of the winds, Byron learned the truth about the murder of the holy king Roy. Under his leadership, Frem agreed to personally lead the Ecca family's army through the northern steppes to the Great Wall of Gaia to attack the floating city. At the same time, Roger's Blue Dragon Knights and some of the old Golden Dragon Knights gathered by Jona were also on standby in Barneysport, preparing to wait for the Mallory Legion led by Haig to join them and head north.

Byron said, "Whether or not the other Knights in the Floating City believe our findings. But if the dark magic is made public, Parsa's reign will soon be in turmoil. We should go to Floating City as much as we can, cut off all the forces that Parsa has secretly cultivated over the past few years, and make him pay for his crimes. ”

Frem nodded and said, "Although this plan is a bit risky, it is not a wise choice to move forward step by step given our current strength. Lord Byron, if the barbarian tribes on the northern grassland can really let us go, then a surprise surprise attack on the floating city is the best strategy. After all, the White Dragon Knights and the Red Dragon Knights have a large number of troops stationed along the line from Riverrun City to Hurricane Castle, and directly bypassing them and occupying Star City as a base to launch an attack on Floating City will make the enemy unstoppable. If they choose to return to the army to rescue, Mistress Roger and Mistress Haig will definitely chase their butts and give them a good look. ”

None of the others gave any opinion, for everyone knew that Byron's arrangements had always been safe, and that he rarely took risks unless necessary, and that he was very cautious as a wall of the kingdom. Therefore, his plan may seem very risky, but there must be a reason for it.

"There is one only problem with this plan. Then Frem added. The most critical part of this plan lies with Geraint. Joshua could clearly feel Freem's thoughts. After all, whether or not the major barbarian forces in the northern steppes believed that they were only using the guò through the road instead of armed encirclement and suppression, this qiē depended on the negotiation between Geraint and them.

"You mean to talk about Geraint's negotiation with Master Weiss?" Byron nodded, "I'll do my best to get in touch with him." ”

Before Geraint left for the Lehman Tribe, Byron and he had agreed to reunite in Star City after the two had completed their respective missions. Therefore, he decided to borrow some men from Frem and lead an advance party himself through the northern grasslands to Star City again.

Eliad waved his hand at this time: "The advance team will count me as a share." After all, it's been a long time since I've been to the northern grasslands......"

"Are you leaving again as soon as you get back, Lord Anemo?" asked Tim, "and the wind and sand in the grasslands are very strong. ”

Eliad looked at Tim and chuckled, "Did I teach you in vain when I was a child, are we wind mages still afraid of wind and sand?"

"I just wish you could stay in Flamechase City for a while longer. Tim smiled.

Eliad smiled and said, "Although Parsa was kicked in the ass by me when he was young, after all, after so many years, his strength must have improved greatly. Since he is already the active chief archmage of the Lance Kingdom, it means that his level has also reached the level of the archmage. And the fact that he can master a terrifying dark magic like 'Dark Winding' means that there is more to his hole cards than that. I'm looking forward to playing him again. If you don't want me, you can come with me with Lord Byron. ”

"Sister Tim, come with us. Such an adventure must be exciting!" Joshua exclaimed happily.

Soon, Byron confirmed the main members of the advance team: Eliad Ekka, the wind god, Tim the Wind Whisperer, Ian Cangyan, Barton the heavy sword, and of course, Joshua, who he had to take with him. It's not that he doesn't trust Freem, it's just that his duties as a knight, and Joshua's desire to meet Geraint as soon as possible makes him decide to let the king join the advance team.

After a day of preparation, the advance team officially headed for Star City. Joshua and Byron will also replicate the path they had traveled.

Byron turned and looked at his companions: "We have a heavy responsibility for this operation, and if there is a mistake, our team will probably face a huge crisis. If it were a qiē shun lì, Geraint would have arrived in Star City earlier than us. Then a few of us prepared ourselves in the city and waited for the arrival of the army. ”

"Byron, I don't really like war, but if there are any strange spells on the other side, leave them all to me. Eliade's face was full of war, but his expression was very relaxed.

The rest of the crowd nodded to Byron.

Byron's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stretched out a hand: "In our team, not everyone is a knight. I don't need the traditional way of drawing a knight's sword as a mobilization for the oath. Let's stretch out your hand and express your determination and courage. With that, everyone stretched out their hands and folded them together.

"Hey, I'm going to ...... too" Joshua was the last to hold out his hand.

Perhaps coincidentally, Tim was the last to reach out, and Joshua's hand was right on top of her. Tim's little hands were so smooth that Joshua couldn't help but feel an electric shock in his heart. But soon, in the midst of everyone's shouting, Joshua was relieved. The people in the parallel world are an illusion to Joshua in the other world, but Joshua in this world can really feel the most real side.

In the days that followed, Byron led the people to the northern steppes again. However, compared to the previous rush to evade pursuit, they were well prepared for this trip. Horse-drawn carriages accompanied them along the way, as well as plenty of food and fresh water, as well as tents for resting at night. Patton drew a dozen soldiers from the Eka family's infantry regiment and followed. The only problem is that the travel time is a bit longer than before. After all, the carriage is no more advanced than riding a horse.

The northern grasslands are still in a cold climate, and the farther away from the burning provinces, the stronger this feeling becomes. When everyone marched to the middle of the grassland, the snowflakes flew again. But Byron was very sure of the trip, both well prepared and accompanied by many people, especially legends like the wind god Eliade. In the event of a blizzard or sandstorm, Eliad casts his tornado magic to envelop everyone in the cyclone without any stops.

After about a month, Byron's advance party had reached a zone only a few dozen kilometers away from Star City.

"If nothing else, Geraint's negotiations should have been successful. Our group didn't encounter any barbarian harassment along the way. Lord Weiss may have ordered his tribe to garrison their own defenses for some time to come. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the distance, and the air was suddenly filled with yellow sand, and everyone followed the reputation, and could barely see several figures in front of them moving rapidly, and spears were constantly flying out from behind, and the piercing sound of breaking the air echoed in the air.

"Well, we seem to have met a steppe centaur beast. Eliad cast his magic, blowing the yellow sand away with two tornadoes, and spotted a group of centaur beasts galloping in their direction. The upper body of the centaur beast is very similar to that of a human, except that there are brown scales on the chest, abdomen and back, and the face is longer than that of a human, and the appearance is very hideous. The lower body has four hooves like a wild horse. Although they belong to a type of Warcraft, they are good at using spears and throwing spears.

"Aren't the steppe centaurs in the north-central region of the northern steppes, and how did they cross the barbarian lines and move south?" said Byron.

Although ordinary centaurs cannot fly, their speed on the ground is extremely fast, and each centaur carries at least three spears, constantly flying forward and picking them up. Some of them have huge black wings on their backs, and they are the leaders of the centaurs. As the commander, the centaur beast is extremely tall, with an overall height of more than three meters. The spears in their hands were so huge that each blow erupted in the air with a thunderclap.

"Get ready for battle!" Byron shouted as he drew his sword.
