Chapter 2765: There are Knights Ahead

~13 min read 2,469 words

The Duin King proposed a meeting at this time, and his true purpose was intriguing. One must know that the Holy Emblem Knights were still circling inside the Northern Border, not only having to deal with the Heavy Hammer unit but also having to guard against the Ice-born troops in the Northern Border. The situation was not optimistic.

In this situation, the Duin King still proposed a meeting, and his purpose was hard to guess.

Since he couldn't guess, Su Xiao didn't guess. He chose not to see him directly. The battle situation was urgent, and the Holy Emblem Knights were facing encirclement in the Northern Border. Pushing this reason out, the Duin King couldn't say anything unless he was willing to bear the reputation of not caring about the life and death of the Holy Emblem Knights.

The Demon Flame Dragon flew into the high sky. Below was the Wolf Cavalry Legion marching at full speed. With Barbatos's physique, carrying Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Amu was very easy.

Su Xiao did not go near the main battlefield. The more lively the fighting there, the better. He chose to let the wolf cavalry army take a detour and head toward the vicinity of the 'Wall of Atad' on the northwest side.

After marching for two hours, the towering 'Wall of Atad' appeared in front. The 'Wall of Atad' here was not destroyed.

Barbatos swooped down from high altitude. When it was still dozens of meters away from the 'Wall of Atad', it began to spit dragon flames.

Whoosh!

The flames exploded and burned, and the ice wall crackled. After a while, the 'Wall of Atad' was destroyed for 300 meters wide, and the wolf cavalry army swarmed in from this gap.

The wolf cavalry army had been in the Northern Border for less than ten minutes when an Ice-born cavalry unit arrived at the destroyed 'Wall of Atad'. They all wore black armor with single horns on their helmets, with a scale of about 30,000 people.

The two heavy cavalrymen in the lead had ice-blue pupil flames in their eye sockets, deep and lifeless. They looked like undead knights.

The cold wind blew in his face, and the cold wind was like a knife. Although the Northern Border was famous for its cold, when Su Xiao came here last time, it was definitely not this cold. There must be some changes happening quietly.

"I-I-I-I, fuck."

Baha, who was once called a sand sculpture, was almost frozen into a sand corpse at this time, standing on the dragon's back and shaking like a sieve.

The Wolf Cavalry Legion had arrived in the central area of the Northern Border. After arriving here, the temperature dropped sharply. Even with the physique of the wolf cavalry, they felt a hint of chill.

Baha, who was responsible for reconnaissance, was frozen. Su Xiao took out a pebble-sized gem from his arms, and the spell engraved on it was emitting a faint light.

Through this spell, he could sense the general direction of the Holy Emblem Knights. But if he thought about it carefully, could the Holy Emblem Knights also sense Su Xiao's direction by relying on this spell?

The situation had developed to the current situation. Some things could not be investigated deeply, otherwise, they would definitely break with Duin immediately.

In the whistling cold wind, the Wolf Cavalry Legion marched at full speed. In the central area of the Northern Border, there was almost no distinction between day and night.

Interestingly, the terrain of the entire Northern Border was very special. The front end was colder, the middle was extremely cold, and when it reached the rear, the temperature was around -30° all year round. There was a distinction between day and night there.

After a rapid march, the gem in Su Xiao's hand became more and more brilliant. He let Barbatos lower its flight altitude. In the wind and snow all over the sky, he vaguely heard the sound of dense running from the front, and the ice surface below began to tremble.

After the successive sounds of drawing swords, a cavalry unit rushed from the front. It was the Holy Emblem Knights. They were riding a kind of warhorse with scales on their necks. This warhorse was very majestic. One of the warhorses snorted, and in the hot air sprayed from its nasal cavity, sparks could be vaguely seen.

A man wearing gold-patterned armor, a blue cloak on his back, and slightly naturally curly brown hair was in front of a group of Holy Emblem cavalry. The sharp sword in his hand had very faint red marks; this was bloodstains that could no longer be washed off.

"Kukuin Bai Ye?"

The leading Imperial officer spoke. As he spoke, he carried the sharp sword in his hand on his shoulder. This was Duin's knight salute.

The Demon Flame Dragon, Barbatos, landed and let out a dragon roar toward the front. The warhorses of the Holy Emblem Knights retreated one after another, snorting, both panicked and irritable.

"It's me."

Su Xiao stepped onto the top of Barbatos's head and looked at the leading Imperial officer.

"Hello, I am Legion Commander Turt of the Second Legion, Cavalry Vanguard Regiment."

As Legion Commander Turt spoke, he took out a gem from his arms and crushed it with a click. He was relying on the spell on this gem to meet Su Xiao.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao did not speak, just threw the gem in his hand.

After Legion Commander Turt took the gem, he was silent for a moment, then crushed the gem. Being able to locate each other was convenient, but these two gems that sensed each other were originally a trap for Duin's high-level officials.

Legion Commander Turt had known this point from the beginning. After learning about that plan, he was furious in his heart. But, although he was a hereditary knight, he was also an Imperial officer, serving the Duin Empire for generations. After he became a bottom-level soldier, he had sworn under the legion's battle flag to defend the Duin Empire to the death.

Belief and loyalty sometimes contradicted each other. Legion Commander Turt chose loyalty.

"Your side marched rapidly to here, our side should have set up a ceremony to entertain, but it is wartime, so let's wait until after the war to drink and have fun."

Legion Commander Turt turned off his horse. After quickly stepping forward, he waited a few meters away from Barbatos. After seeing Barbatos, he did not have any shocked emotions, but was somewhat envious. Who didn't want to be a dragon knight?

Su Xiao leaped down from the top of Barbatos's head. Seeing this, Legion Commander Turt sat on the ground and took out a map from his arms.

"Bai Ye, look, this is the 'Wall of Atad', cough~, you broke through here yesterday."

When Legion Commander Turt said this, his expression was slightly embarrassed, but soon, his expression became serious.

"This is Winter City, the main city of the Northern Border, located on the inner side of the Northern Border. And the area we are in is the Ice Wind Belt, which is the central part of the Northern Border. According to my observation yesterday, there are a total of 7 logistics units in the Northern Border."

Having said this, Turt pointed to the map on the ice surface.

"When these 7 logistics units pass through the Ice Wind Belt, the Heavy Hammer unit will scout from above. If any logistics unit is attacked, the Heavy Hammer unit will rush to reinforce. Once encountering them, it will inevitably be a bitter battle. This morning, our side fought with the Heavy Hammer unit, with casualties on both sides. Our side lost more than 20,000 people."

Having said this, Legion Commander Turt sighed. He was different from Duin's power holders; he really treated the soldiers under his command as brothers.

"Intercepting logistics units outside the Ice Wind Belt won't work?"

Baha spoke. It was no longer cold at this time. This guy was hugging an ordinary Apollo that had not been activated to keep warm. This scene made Legion Commander Turt's eyelids jump.

"It won't work. Outside the Ice Wind Belt, the front is the main battlefield. The enemy's power there is strong, and rushing out of the Ice Wind Belt from the rear is all the big cities of the Northern Border. Once entering there, it's like poking a hornet's nest without wearing pants. To tell you the truth, our side tried it yesterday, and the result..."

Legion Commander Turt did not continue. He should have been beaten quite miserably. Elites were also afraid of many people, especially when the enemy had already formed a stable defensive line.

"I suggest that our two sides first annihilate the Heavy Hammer unit. Our side is willing to act as the vanguard, setting up ambushes here, here, and here. After our side fights with the Heavy Hammer unit, your side can take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and strike the enemy hard! But the Heavy Hammer unit is good at flying, and it is very difficult to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Legion Commander Turt was very sincere. From his layout, the Holy Emblem Knights were the bait, and the wolf cavalry in the rear only needed to launch a surprise attack.

Turt was very clear about one point: no one was a fool. The Imperial high-level officials had wanted to calculate the Allied forces before. Now that they were really united, as the front line, of course, he had to show enough sincerity, otherwise, not only would they be unable to deal with the Heavy Hammer unit, but they would have internal strife instead.

"Can."

"Good, according to our scouts' investigation, in half a quarter of an hour, an enemy logistics unit will pass through here. Time is running out, let's start the ambush."

Legion Commander Turt looked up at Su Xiao, seeking Su Xiao's opinion. If Su Xiao did not agree, everything he had laid out before would lose its meaning.

Su Xiao leaped onto the back of Barbatos and led the Wolf Cavalry Legion to rush to the designated direction. Legion Commander Turt led his army to set up an ambush.

More than half an hour later, in the wind and snow all over the sky, an Ice-born unit with a scale of about 50,000 was marching.

They surrounded thousands of giant beasts, each of which was tied with iron chains, and behind them were huge ice sleds, with materials tied to the ice sleds, which were nearly ten meters high after being stacked.

The marching speed of this unit was not slow. In the wind and snow all over the sky, every Ice-born warrior was very vigilant. They had already heard that a supply unit of their own side was attacked in the Ice Wind Belt this morning.

Bang.

A loud noise came, and a huge fireball streaked across an arc and fell toward the logistics unit.

Boom, flames splashed, and wails spread. In the flames, a giant beast that broke free from the chains rushed out. Covered in flames, it rushed out a long way before falling to the ground. The snow was plowed open by its body, and it slid a long way on the ice surface before stopping.

"Enemy attack!"

After the sound of hurriedly striking shields, this 50,000-strong logistics unit formed a counterattack formation.

Boom, boom, boom...

The ice surface vibrated. Hearing this sound, every Ice-born warrior gripped the weapons in their hands tightly. They were so nervous that their hands began to shake. They had already vaguely guessed that the enemy army that came was that one.

Zing~

The neat sound of drawing swords came, and the light emitted by the spell appeared and disappeared in the wind and snow.

With a whoosh, flames ignited on the long swords one after another. A total of 100,000 Holy Emblem cavalry rushed out from the wind and snow, unstoppable.

"It's the Holy Emblem!"

This Ice-born logistics unit was in chaos. Some Ice-born warriors actually turned around and fled. This was the deterrent power of the Holy Emblem Knights. This elite cavalry had been active on the Canglong Continent for many years.

The Holy Emblem cavalry held long swords one after another, rushed into the enemy army, and slashed horizontally with long swords burning with flames.

Like cutting wheat, a large area of Ice-born warriors fell. They couldn't stop the charge of the Holy Emblem cavalry at all.

After a round of charging, these 100,000 Holy Emblem cavalry actually rushed through the enemy army directly, rushed in from the left side, killed out from the right side, and killed the enemy army through and through.

All the Holy Emblem cavalry stopped, the rear team became the front team, and began to charge back.

The sound of slashing, war cries, and screams continued. Some warhorses under the Holy Emblem cavalry also had some flames on their bodies.

After several rounds of charging and killing, the enemy's logistics unit was dead or fled, leaving only a large amount of materials and giant beasts wailing in terror.

"Kill them all."

A soldier commander ordered. These giant beasts could not be kept. Even if released, these giant beasts that were raised would return to the vicinity of the Northern Border's big cities by themselves, transporting materials for the enemy army again.

After a while, blood completely stained the ice surface, and all materials were piled up and burned. Materials that could not be taken away, of course, had to be burned.

After completing all this, this 100,000-strong Holy Emblem cavalry immediately retreated, but at this moment, sounds of breaking through the air struck.

"Retreat!"

The Holy Emblem cavalry exerted the advantages of cavalry and retreated at full speed in the direction they came. In the wind and snow above, black shadows with bloated bodies approached rapidly.

A giant hammer broke through the whimpering sound, and the heavy wings that seemed to be coated with petroleum folded. A Heavy Hammer warrior, four meters tall and wearing super heavy armor, swooped down from high altitude. He held the giant hammer with both hands and smashed toward the ice surface.

With a splat, a Holy Emblem cavalryman, together with his horse, was smashed to pieces by the hammer head as thick as a water vat. Bloody ice chips splashed, and the hammer head was covered in spikes.

Heavy, cruel, unstoppable, this was the Heavy Hammer unit. The total number of Heavy Hammer warriors was 300,000. In a one-on-one fight, they were the strongest unit in this world, without exception. After all, they were not completely living things. ===== CHAPTER 2766 =====
