Chapter 436: The First Knight
When Percy rushed to the study in the City Lord's Mansion, Shuman looked like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe, and he lay on the desk, soaking wet all over.
The abyss warrior straightened Xiuman's body, and after seeing Xiuman's heavy breathing, he finally let go of his worries.
"Lord Xiuman? What happened?
Guards! Guards!
Damn, why isn’t there a single servant to serve…where’s Isa?
What did that Kingdom Knight do? "
As a sorcerer, Xiuman has a pretty good recovery ability.
His fingers quickly outlined a few patterns, and then dark purple light appeared on Xiuman's body, helping him recover his strength.
"Quick... Percy, take a team of guards and go find Ivan--
Go now, you have to let him know the news before they find Ivan."
"Ah? Are you saying that the target of these kingdom knights is Lord Ivan?"
Percy couldn't quite believe it.
Although Lord Ivan is a bit perverted, it doesn't require an army of 50,000 people to hunt him down...
“No, I don’t know.
The fourth knight wrote a transfer order himself, and then took my seal and stamped it on it - he wanted to transfer all the soldiers in Huiyao City.
I don't know where they are heading, but I have a feeling that this matter must be related to Ivan."
Percy looked at Shuman in confusion, but as the city lord's personal guard, Percy chose to trust the judgment of his half-brother.
He nodded at Xiuman, then handed Xiuman to several servants who came over and quickly rushed out of the room.
Xiuman was helped up by several servants. He looked at Percy who had already disappeared and said in a voice that only he could hear:
"Forgive me, Percy, but those kingdom knights will only use the soldiers of Radiant City as cannon fodder.
I don’t want you to get involved in this meaningless war... The Moon Sea Breath where Ivan is should be safe..."
……
Holding the order with the city lord's seal, the Fourth Knight Leon gathered most of the armed forces in Huiyao City, and a full 20,000 people were forced to join the army outside the city.
He didn't care whether these 30,000 people gathered together were all the soldiers of Huiyao City, and he didn't have the time to care.
After assigning several hundred knights of the kingdom as generals to supervise the battle, Lyon ordered the entire army to march out, bypassing Huiyao City and heading northeast.
These soldiers from Huiyao City followed the Knights' team tremblingly, looking around with confused eyes.
"Why so sudden? Today is my day off..."
A young soldier complained somewhat angrily.
He tightened the round shield behind him and spat at the general supervising the battle in the distance.
"Isn't it? I'm still on duty on the city wall. I wasn't even allowed to go home, and they asked us all to gather together."
The soldiers around him were dressed a little differently. This obviously greasy old soldier was carrying a halberd and wearing standard city guard armor.
"Hey! Do you know where we are going?"
A voice joined the discussion.
"Who knows? According to this direction, shouldn't we go to the Moon Sea to attack the murlocs?"
"Stop talking nonsense, the current marching direction is clearly north...
In my opinion, these guys from the capital are going to attack the Spine of the World."
"Huh? The Spine of the World?
There is ice and snow, and there are terrible frost giants and man-eating wild giants...
Oh my God! I want to go back! Who wants to fight a monster like that—"
Before he could finish his words, the young voice stopped abruptly.
The city guard who was talking to him turned his head and the halberd on his shoulder almost slipped off.
The young soldier who was still complaining a second ago had his head dropped to the ground.
A knight was riding a warhorse, warm blood dripping from the sword in his hand.
The knight was covered in armor, and the full-face helmet on his head had only two observation holes at the eye area. From the veteran's perspective, he could not see the human pupils inside at all.
The city guard carrying the halberd lowered his head, walked around the headless body lying on the ground, and quickly followed the footsteps of the person in front of him.
He felt the murderous intent and disregard for life from the tin-can-like knight.
……
Percy walked out of the city lord's mansion and ran towards the city guard camp.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion do not have a separate station, but are mixed with the city guards' station.
But when Percy jogged into the city guard camp, he found that he was still a step too late.
The entire city guard camp was empty. There were nearly 30,000 people stationed there, and the place, which was originally very crowded, was now so quiet that it made people feel chilled.
The ground was littered with scattered armor parts and weapons that had not been carried in time. It seemed that this mobilization was too hasty.
Percy moved quickly through the camp, and after making sure that there were no Lucky guys hiding in the corner, he ran out quickly.
His reddish-brown curly hair was covered in sweat and his mind was a mess.
This situation is so abnormal.
No military mission has ever been so hasty, so hasty that the soldiers didn't even have all their weapons.
This means that the knights of the kingdom don’t care about the lives of these temporarily recruited soldiers at all.
What on earth are they going to do...
Percy didn't pursue the matter further. With Lord Shuman's wisdom, he must have guessed something.
This warrior with the blood of the abyss walked towards the east gate of Huiyao City.
He had no time to find a few soldiers to accompany him, nor did he have time to find a fast mount.
In other words, given the speed of this Abyssborn, a mount is not a necessity.
……
After the fourth knight Leon packed up the soldiers of Huiyao City and took them away, in order to speed up the march, he ordered a thousand knights with war horses to leave the main force and follow him to gallop towards the northeast.
The soldiers of the Kingdom's Knights were very quiet. Even when they were riding their horses at full speed, no sound was made other than the sound of horse hooves.
The most frightening thing is that not even the neighing of horses was heard.
The entire cavalry unit was eerily quiet.
When Lyon crossed the Miral River, he had already arranged a special force of 1,000 men to go downstream.
If the timing estimate is correct, then the two vanguard forces will launch attacks on the primary and secondary targets at the same time.
The cowardly First Knight overestimated the enemy's power.
The look under Leon's helmet became somewhat mocking.
There is no need to gather such a large force for this kind of stuff.
Two cavalry units of a thousand men were enough to destroy everything.
He withdrew his gaze from the east. According to the current marching speed, the cavalry would soon be able to see the dense gray haze forest.
