With Sherman's order, all the members of the Order who had fallen asleep were immediately called, and as soon as everyone heard the urgent order, they immediately packed up their things without saying a word, and the whole camp quickly turned from quiet to noisy.

An hour later, with everyone ready to go, Sherman immediately ordered the entire army to go out and target the Reid Fortress. The Reed Fortress is a straight line distance of ** hundred miles from the station of the knights at this time, and according to the flight speed of the Thor Bird, it will take at least two or three days to arrive. But in fact, this is impossible, it is impossible for the Thor Bird to maintain such a flight speed all the time, they will also be tired, and they have to eat and rest halfway, no matter how it is calculated, it will take about five days to fly.

However, according to the soldiers who came back to report, the Dark Devils traveled very fast, at least one or two hundred miles a day, and the appearance of those people was no different from that on a flat road in the rugged wilderness, so it seemed that their speed was also very impressive.

However, it is impossible to walk in a straight line on land, so the Knights still have some advantages, but the advantages are not too great. Sherman didn't dare to be careless, he would rather work harder and rush to Reed Fortress in advance to rest, if he lost Reed Fortress because of a delay on the way, not to mention that the Holy Cult Army leaders could not forgive him, even he himself felt unreasonable.

So Sherman ordered the whole army to rush to the Reed Fortress as quickly as possible, to minimize the time for eating and resting on the way, and to arrive earlier to have a better chance of victory. Seeing Sherman's strict order, the Knights knew that this operation was not trivial, so no one dared to slack off, and they all accelerated their speed and rushed forward as much as they could.

The Knights set out in the middle of the night, and marched until noon, when they were exhausted. Although it is a bird flight, it does not need to spend too much physical strength, but to control the thunder god bird, you must concentrate and adjust the direction and altitude at all times, so that the consumption is actually very large, especially in terms of spirit.

The Thor Bird was also tired enough, and one by one lay on the ground panting, and the feathers were all wet. The soldiers did not care about feeding themselves, so they first took out dry rations to feed their mounts, and they cared for and valued the birds far more than they did. While feeding the Thor, they also fanned the Thor, and at the same time saved as much water as possible for themselves to drink.

Everyone has the same idea, people can go days without eating or drinking, but birds can't, and they can't complete a high-intensity march without letting these big birds eat and drink.

After resting for two hours, Sherman gave the order to take off again, and the Thor birds flew towards the blue sky again with the knights.

On the third day, the Knights were still more than a hundred miles away from Reed Fortress, which was already much faster than expected, and it only took another day for them to reach their destination. Sherman led the whole regiment of soldiers to rest on a high ground, and there was no need to be too anxious when they arrived at this place, presumably the Dark Devils had been left far behind them.

On the night of his departure, he had already reported the emergency to the Holy Cult Army Headquarters through the Sound Transmission Crystal, and the headquarters had already notified the Magic Guild, asking them to immediately notify the lords in the Northeast and quickly send troops to support Reed Fortress. At the same time, the Holy Cult Army itself sent reinforcements to the northeast.

Since the Holy Army is sending troops to the nearest teleportation shaft to Reed Fortress via a teleportation shaft, it is unlikely that the Holy Army will send too many reinforcements, and they will have to travel another way to reach the stronghold. In this way, even the fastest reinforcements may take about ten days to arrive.

In this way, after the knights arrived at Reed Fortress, they had to hold out for at least five or six days before it was possible to wait for reinforcements. Sherman's biggest concern is that if the reinforcements do not arrive and the Dark Devil arrives first, it will be a fool's dream to rely on him alone to resist tens of thousands of people on the other side, and not only will he not be able to hold the fortress at that time, but the safety of the knights will also hang by a thread.

Just as everyone was eating and resting, a soldier in charge of the lookout suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no!

As soon as the hundreds of soldiers who were sitting on the ground resting heard the shouting, they all stood up and looked at the shouting soldiers. I saw that the soldier waved vigorously at the crowd and continued to shout: "Enemy! The enemy is coming this way!"

"What! how is this possible!" exclaimed many.

The noise of the soldiers was soon heard by Sherman, who hurried into the crowd and asked, "What's the matter?

"Report to your lordship, someone has spotted the enemy!" said someone in the crowd.

"What? who found out?" Sherman asked hurriedly.

At this time, the person in charge of the lookout also ran to Sherman, panting and said, "Big ...... My lord...... I watched it...... Dark Devil ......"

"Where? take me to see it!" Sherman said, pulling the soldier along.

The group followed Sherman and the lookout soldier to a higher place, and the soldier pointed to the west, and everyone followed his finger, only to see a black patch in the wilderness in the distance moving rapidly towards it. None of the people in the Order are new recruits, and they can tell what is going on at a glance, let alone Sherman.

He immediately realized that this was the army that turned the Lysa Peninsula into a no-man's land, and he was afraid of no less than 50,000 people in this formation, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, which was not something that a normal person could do at all. Sherman felt a chill down his spine at the thought that this Dark Magic army had a speed that was not inferior to that of the flying troops.

"My lord, what are we going to do now?" asked an officer beside him.

This sentence immediately made Sherman sober up, now is not the time to be in a daze, according to the speed of the enemy army, I am afraid that he will be able to rush to Reed Fortress tomorrow. No, it may be faster than that, to be able to travel such a long way in such a short time, this dark army may have to travel day and night to do it.

Sherman replied, "Go now, we must get ahead of them!"

The Knights, who had just rested, took off again, and the soldiers knew that it was a critical moment, so no one would complain about anything. But those big birds are different, they are already very tired after a day of flying, they have just eaten a little and are forced to take off again, and many Thor birds are making dissatisfied calls.

However, it was a very moment, and the soldiers could not care about their mounts, so they could only force the big birds to take off by shouting and intimidating. Finally, more than a thousand Thor birds rose into the air again, crying discontentedly as they flew towards the Reed Fortress to the west.

The section of the road to Reed Fortress is basically a mountain, and there are deep canyons between the towering peaks, but fortunately they are flying by birds, which is several times less than the Dark Devils on foot. Everyone was secretly glad in their hearts, if it was a flat road, it was really impossible to say who was faster, due to the continuous forced march, the Thunder God Birds were already at the end of the strong crossbows, and the speed was much slower than usual.

The sky is getting dark, the snow wind in the mountains is blowing, freezing everyone's hands and feet, but no one dares to have the slightest relaxation, flying in the mountains at night is the most dangerous, a little carelessness may have an accident, falling from such a high place is impossible to survive.

Fighting through the cold and fatigue, the Holy Knights finally felt the Reed Fortress before dawn. This is a pass built at the top of a steep slope, with knife-like cliffs on both sides, and the entire pass is only a few tens of meters wide, and it is difficult to rush up even if a large army comes.

It's a pity that the walls of this fortress are not high enough, only four or five meters high, and it is enough to defend the average army, but it is still too short to defend the Dark Magic Army. The men of the Knights landed in the fortress on the Thor Bird, and frightened the soldiers guarding the fortress so much that their teeth chattered.

The soldiers here did not know what was happening, and suddenly they saw a large number of giant birds falling from the sky, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers came down from the birds' backs, and they even wondered if they were dreaming.

Sherman approached the guards and asked in a loud voice, "Who is in charge here?" ”
