Chapter 137: Returning to His Homeland
Alex and Jesse were stunned when they heard the news, 30,000 cavalry, this is not a small number, the empire may have average infantry combat effectiveness, but cavalry has always been the focus of the empire to cultivate the troops, at this time after coming to their base camp, the meaning is unclear that the other party did not play the flag, that is to say, it is impossible to know where the unit behind it is, and now there is only one person in the Sunset Legion from top to bottom who knows the ownership of the legion, that is, the deputy commander Alex.
As early as when the troops were drawn, Alex got a secret order from the Emperor of the Ron Empire, the Eighth Legion no longer belongs to the Empire, but belongs to the dead man's army of Kahl Kotler, the second prince of the Kotler Empire, at the beginning Alex wanted to disobey, although the Sunset Legion has all empires, and everyone knows in their hearts that such a legion is a burden in the army, but the Empire is unwilling to let the old soldiers have nothing to rely on, so it has been barely supported, fortunately, most of the Sunset Legion can be self-sufficient, especially the old legion like the Eighth Legion, in addition to occupying space, the rest do not have to worry about the empire at all。
But it was such an order, but the entire legion was sent directly, and anyone who saw it felt uncomfortable, Alex was naturally the same, first of all, he first expressed his loyalty to the empire, even if he let himself die in battle, he was not willing to accept this order, if the identity of the person who gave the order could not be forged, I am afraid that Alex would be able to draw his sword and cut the other party at that time, and then take the troops to Glory City to question.
But soon he knew the second order, which was also the emperor's handwritten secret order, but in terms of level, it was even higher than the first order, just when he saw the second order, Alex almost fainted, it was a piece of paper made of special materials, fine workmanship and tenacity, Xuan Chang's sword is difficult not to mention, and it is invulnerable, the entire Ron Empire, there are only three such pieces of paper, it does not appear once, it means that the empire has undergone great changes, even Alex has seen it by coincidence, he can't believe it, after all, according to legend, the main material of this paper is made of dragon skin。
The content, Alex just read it once, after reading it, all his doubts have been dispelled, in recent years, the news that the demon clan is about to invade has been all the rage, and the content on this paper has been verified by His Majesty the Emperor himself, the news is true!
What does this mean, Alex naturally knows it in his heart, so when he looks at the first order, he roughly understands the emperor's intentions, the continent needs to unite, this alliance is to eliminate national borders, eliminate racial differences, and eliminate all hidden dangers that are not conducive to the alliance of the entire continent, the first thing the Ron Empire needs to do is to have a stable ally, in recent years, the empire around him has become dilapidated, and it urgently needs a king with great talent to come out and control the government and stabilize the domestic decline.
And the down-and-out prince Kahler was favored by the emperor, as the second prince of the Kotler Empire, in the case of the disappearance of the crown prince, he was the heir to the throne, the ridiculous thing is that the rare forces in his hands also betrayed, when it comes to strength, he is the weakest among the princes, at the beginning Alex didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor would take a fancy to Calle, who had no strength at all, so when Calle was about to take over the legion, he had already greeted his subordinates and didn't have to give him face, but after Alex investigated this Kahler prince, what he felt was fear。
There is only one person around him who can be used, that is, the military judge Faramir who withdrew from the battlefield in advance from the battle of Cardin Hills, and he is also his personal bodyguard, but there is only such a person, Calle dares to directly slaughter all the personnel in the embassy of the Ron Empire, which is in great contrast with the Kahler he saw at that time, such a decisive and gentle person knows no matter how he thinks, if he is not a madman, then there is only one possibility, this person is tenacious and forbearing, and must have a genius.
But the emperor took a fancy and didn't fully believe it, so he only gave an eighth legion, His Majesty has the world in mind, which Alex admires from the bottom of his heart, the Ron Empire is strong and strong, and it is already a domestic consensus, but for the stability of the mainland, and at the same time as the centering pillar of the continent, the Ron Empire will definitely not take the initiative to attack, more or more soldiers, constantly enhance their own national strength, the national prestige is outside, naturally there will be no strong enemies to attack.
What makes Alex happy is that both Calle and the new regiment commander Ghost Ugly have understood the intention of His Majesty the Emperor, so there is such a strange move that seems absurd but fruitful while expanding and coopting, in fact, Alex himself knows that the Eighth Legion will inevitably cause an uproar in the military system, and a pension legion will definitely not be able to set off much wind in the eyes of others, but the regiment commander's plan is destined to set off a storm in the country.
Some people can't imagine this turmoil, but a few people have already prepared.
Sending cavalry without a banner, this is a bit too much to afford the Eighth Legion, and it is a bit too coincidental to come at this time, and the next moment, Alex suddenly had an extremely ridiculous idea, these cavalry, will not be what secret forces they encountered, and as a result, they beat their son, and they came to ask for debts, right?
Thinking about himself, he also smiled, and seeing Jesse looking at him with a puzzled face, Alex straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "All, defensive formation, cautious vigilance, Jesse, come with me to meet you." ”
The other party's intentions are unknown, or make plans first, the other party did not play the banner, that is, I don't want to make things bigger, and now the Sunset Legion is not afraid of this kind of person, because, the Sunset Legion is confident, and the current Eighth Legion is no longer part of the Ron Empire, naturally the two of them will not turn over their horses, and slowly walked out, in the cold wind, the two horses that are quite strong snort uneasily, this is the horse that can be taken in the legion, if it is not for this way, I am afraid that the current Sunset Legion is still a pure infantry legion, and now the long-range bow unit is being formed, and the Chaoyang Legion has also begun to build the structure of the cavalry team, as long as the horses are in hand, at least a cavalry team of 1,000 people can be pulled.
But now, where are you going to get a horse?
Speaking of horses, Alex's heart moved, isn't there a horse on the other side? However, he knew very well that even if he added his own Sunset Legion and Jesse's Sunrise Legion, and then multiplied by two, then he would have the strength to fight with the other party, and now it was useless to think about it, shaking his head slightly, feeling the vibration from the ground, Alex took a deep breath, and then spit out the long sword in his hand and stood in front of his chest, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the mount under his crotch moved forward slowly, Jesse followed, although there were only two of them, but they walked out of the momentum of thousands of troops and horses, and tens of thousands of cavalry on the opposite side came together, and the smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, but they were only able to compete with the two。
Thousands of horses galloping, such as the wind crossing, thousands of troops are quiet, if the ancient Heng Mountain, this movement and stillness between the slaughter and slaughter, the momentum of the confrontation is actually not able to hold each other, and in the edge of the momentum contest, it is noisy, the chickens and dogs in the pit viper town are jumping, and the people are panicking.
The place where the Eighth Legion is stationed is too close to the town, if the other party really fights, under the impact of the cavalry, once the defensive line of the Eighth Legion is chiseled through, the pit viper town will inevitably be affected, at this time, no matter who has begun to pack up and prepare to flee, as for the direction, it is natural to get as far away from the battlefield as possible, so more and more people are rushing towards the rear of the town with a panicked look, and some people are running towards the mountain, no matter where it is, as long as they are away from the battlefield.
Seeing the residents of Pit Viper Town fleeing, Alex and Jesse just smiled disdainfully, although this is a lawless place, but once they encounter an opponent whose strength is beyond the scope of bearing, all they can do is to want to be like this, abandon all their inheritance, and flee in a hurry.
This was true of the Eighth Corps, as well as of the cavalry opposite.
Fifty miles, not far for the cavalry, the mountain wind blew through the mountain pass behind Pit Viper Town, leaving all the smoke and dust brought up from the opposite side behind the phalanx, Alex's eyes narrowed, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
The other party is slowing down!
After blinking his eyes and making sure that his eyes were not dazzling, Alex confirmed that the cavalry on the opposite side was indeed slowing down, and there was only one possibility of slowing down at this time, and the other party was coming with good intentions!
But within the Empire, who has good intentions with the Sunset Legion?
The sound of the horse's hooves became slower and slower, and the doubts on Alex's face became thicker and thicker, and after twenty minutes, the team stopped a hundred meters in front of Alex and Jesse under the wave of a leader in full iron armor, and in the puzzled eyes of the two, the other party turned over and dismounted, holding the reins, and came slowly, and the cavalry behind him also made the same move, this face was grand, so that everyone's eyes were straight.
Who has seen the grand scene of tens of thousands of people leading horses on foot, no, but all this happened in front of him, not only the people in the Sunset Legion were stunned, but even Alex and Jesse waited until the other party arrived before coming to their senses.
The leading cavalry put down the reins and stood in front of Alex, and the deputy commander suddenly dismounted and saluted, but he didn't know how to speak, this thing happened too weird!
Cavalry, horses are fundamental, and cavalry dismounting is a sign of no malice, but this sudden appearance of troops makes people confused, what is going on? Why did these cavalrymen come when they were about to leave the Ron Empire, not sooner or later, just at this time, and they have not been discovered by their own reconnaissance troops, this kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, it feels weird.
Could it be that he really sent a horse to himself, but is this possible? This is more than 30,000 military horses, and it can't be said that it will be sent, right?
Alex was just about to speak, but he heard the cavalry who was only ten steps away from him suddenly shouting: "Thousands of miles to send you, there will be a farewell!" Then tens of thousands of people behind him shouted in unison: "A foreign country is bumpy, give the king a good horse, the old horse knows the way, forget to return to his homeland!"
"Forget your homeland!" "Forget your homeland!" "Forget your homeland!"
