A cavalry team of more than a hundred men galloped on the wide and flat road.
Followed by several rows of artillery dragged by the strongest horses, this is the standard configuration of the Drogba Empire Hundreds of Cavalry.
They set off from the camp where they were stationed and were heading towards the direction of Mooney City.
In the middle of the team, the cavalry captain carefully read the information and orders issued by his superiors on his horseback. Every once in a while, scouts would come back and report to him that everything around him was normal.
He is always collecting the data of the surrounding environment, and then compares it with the intelligence of his superiors in detail.
After more than a day of trekking, they finally arrived at a place less than ten kilometers away from Mooney City.
The sun gradually set, and the entire land soon fell into the deepest darkness.
Following the order of the cavalry captain, the team immediately stopped advancing and found a sheltered place to stop, and each team naturally began to send out guard posts to lurk in various key positions nearby.
Others quickly dispersed and began to drink and eat in the order of the combat squad.
"Information says that the entire city of Mooney has become a dead city. You have been with me for several years. What do you think about this?"
The cavalry captain took a bite of dry food, sipped some water and put it into his stomach, and glanced at the staff officer who had just sat down next to him.
"I don't doubt the accuracy of the information, but it's hard to understand the horror itself, and I can't imagine what kind of catastrophe it was that killed all the people in the entire city of Mooney, and not even a single person escaped. .¡±
"Another thing that makes people wonder is why people in other places have not received any news if a major event that killed at least tens of thousands of people really happened."
The young staff officer frowned, reached out and took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it under his nostrils and sniffed deeply, but did not light it directly in such a dark environment.
"This is what I can't figure out, so this time it's not easy. If you encounter any situation, remember to organize your team and be ready to take over and retreat at any time."
The staff officer fell into deep thought, turned around and glanced at the group of veterans who were sitting or standing, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
The captain of the cavalry noticed his expression and couldn't help showing a smile and said, "Don't underestimate them. Although these people seem to be of low quality in eating and drinking now, once they encounter danger, their ability to save their lives is actually very strong."
"I know that most of them have participated in more than one battle, and those who survived the danger must have something special."
The staff officer nodded, and began to sniff the cigarette in his hand again.
The cavalry captain restrained his smile and pointed to the road not far away, "I'll ask you another question. We've been walking all the way, what did you find?"
"The closer you get to the goal of Mooney City, the more desolate the environment will be."
The staff officer's expression became very serious at this moment, and even a little worried, "This is very abnormal."
"It's really abnormal."
The captain of the cavalry cast approving eyes. They walked all the way, as if step by step from the green land into the desert. The further they went, the more yellowish brown dominated the sight, and there was not even a trace of green in some places. .
In this southern province of the empire, this is a very abnormal phenomenon.
Suddenly, a few short calls sounded in the distance.
It sounded vaguely like someone was doing it.
In an instant, everyone jumped up and quickly grabbed the weapons at hand, as if they had been rehearsed in advance, quickly found different positions to hide, observed the surrounding environment, and were ready to launch the most violent concentrated fire on the enemy at any time attack.
Not long after, a soldier returned from a distance and brought a fat squirrel with smooth fur. The tense atmosphere instantly relaxed. Cavalrymen emerged from their hiding places cursing and began to swallow water. Unpalatable dry food for individual soldiers.
The young staff officer grabbed the squirrel by the back of the neck and was just about to release it, when he saw its eyes inadvertently, and fell into panic and confusion for an instant.
A squirrel has such complicated eyes. If you only look at the two eyes and ignore the squirrel's body, it is normal to regard it as a person with rich emotions and experiences.
The staff officer of the cavalry team fell into deep thought, not knowing how to describe the shock in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly??Put the squirrel on the ground, and patted its smooth back, "Hurry up and go, it's dangerous here."
The squirrel ran forward a few steps, looked back at him deeply, and then disappeared into the darkness.
The staff officer always felt that the squirrel understood his words, and even believed that it had the same intelligence as humans. This unreasonable cognition made him feel very strange, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
After the rest, the Centuries set off in full gear.
They wrapped the horseshoes with a layer of soft cloth in advance, and no longer galloped like they were on the road before, but slowed down as much as possible and quietly approached the small city shrouded in darkness.
In battle, cavalry generally do not wrap soft cloth on horseshoes, because this will make the horse lose its touch to the ground, resulting in a loss of speed during battle.
But now in order to achieve the effect of silence, the march must be carried out quietly. At this time, the speed is not very important. The key is to approach the target without anyone noticing, and then decide the next action plan according to the actual reconnaissance situation.
Although they had slowed down as much as possible, they still inevitably made some noise in the silent night.
Fortunately, it was only a few miles away, and it didn't take long for the Centuries to arrive in front of the city of Munich.
"Without a single light on, it looks like an abandoned deserted city."
The cavalry captain took a deep breath of the cool air and raised his hand to make a gesture.
The cavalry under his command immediately dispersed according to the battle formation, took off the soft cloth to appease the horses, checked the equipment and was ready for battle.
"Captain, shall we enter the city now?"
"No, wait a little longer, the situation is unclear now, it's best not to act rashly"
Before the captain could finish his sentence, he suddenly looked up at the gray sky, and said at almost the same time as the staff officer beside him, "It's foggy."
The faint gray-white mist came from nowhere, but it spread extremely fast, enveloping them all in the blink of an eye.
It was completely gray in front of my eyes, and I couldn't even see the outlines of various buildings in Munich. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
