. Regardless of whether Raul's heart is uneasy or not, the team must continue to move forward.
They continued to advance north, and used the excuse of several Liao army commanders to secretly drink, and rectified the increasingly disorganized style of the lower Liao army.
By the second half of September, the paladin who went to deliver a message to Katniss had not yet returned, but the army was already approaching Senedin, the kingdom of the Cornflower Empire.
According to the pitiful information Raul had on hand, the king's army was still huddled in the capital and did not move. But his army has been visited by uninvited guests from time to time.
"Captain, look over there!" A lightly armed paladin, wearing only leather armor, carrying a bow, arrows, and a long sword as a scout, suddenly pointed his finger forward, toward the man who had been rewarded for being the first to discover a vampire. The promoted Yael said this.
Yeer looked over and saw the "flies" that could be considered "familiar". The companions beside him also laughed and said, "Oh, it's them again."
What they were talking about was the scout cavalry sent by His Majesty the King. Those people had appeared at the end of the army's field of vision four days ago. They hung up slowly and followed them forward, observing their movements. Military strength.
During the past four days, Yell and other scout teams also expelled them, but the effect was not ideal.
After all, this is the enemy¡¯s home field, and the paladins are certainly not as familiar with the terrain and environment as they are. They went to catch up, but the other party only had to run a little further and easily hide themselves in some woods, mountains and other places.
After a while, they will reappear at the front of the team.
So Raul had no good way to deal with these guys. He just ordered the armies to advance cautiously and sent people to notify the supply teams in the rear to tell them to proceed with caution.
But today. Things may take a turn for the better - this morning. The large army finally emerged from the depths of the dense forest. We arrived at the plain known as the "harvest land" by the locals. The view here is wide. The surrounding scenery can be easily seen at a glance. The scouts tried to hide their presence again. It becomes not so easy.
But everything is relative. Since the view here is wide. Then the opponent's scouts can distance themselves again. Watch the movements of the army further away.
When in the dense forest. Those scouts had recently appeared less than three hundred meters away from the army. But now. The land led by Lian Yeer. A scout team wandering in front of the large army. It is also a mile away from the group of colleagues.
The emperor's scouts. Same as Yael. It is being repaired on a small slope on a higher ground. Yeer silently counted the number of people on the other side. I have some concerns in my heart.
There were eleven people in that group of scouts. There are six more people than his scout team - although this number is not much. But in terms of multiples, it's not small - it's already more than doubled. Maybe the other person will be like you because of this. How about having some strange thoughts?
So there was a calculation. Speak briefly to your companions around you. Just holding the horse's belly. Lead the team forward. Approach the enemy scout.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and Yeer's team is getting further and further away from the other scout teams of his own army, gradually losing the possibility of looking after each other. Seeing Ye Er's actions, the empire's scout team did not react at all. They still stayed on the small slope and watched them quietly.
It¡¯s just that the war horse is no longer quiet and is digging the soil excitedly.
No matter how close the two sides are, it is only less than three hundred meters.
At this distance, the short bows of the scouts are still ineffective, but people with good eyesight can already vaguely see the opponent's features. The enemy's scout team was still motionless, but they were holding long swords in their hands just like Yeer and the others.
Yeer and the others continued to approach unhurriedly, and they had already arrived at the foot of the gentle slope of the small soil slope. The distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters!
By this time, the opposing scouts, who had the advantage of the terrain, were finally sure that except for Ye Er and the other five, there were no other enemies approaching them in a roundabout way. The possibility of Ye Er and others being bait was very low.
So no longer hesitating, the leader pierced the horse's belly with his spurs, causing the horse to feel pain and began to run forward. He took nine of his companions and took advantage of the favorable location to rush toward Yeer and others at high speed!
There is still a scout who has not moved. He has to beware of accidents that are very unlikely to happen - once the captain and his team lose the battle, he will escape from here as quickly as possible. To this end, he even got rid of those who are not capable of doing so. Necessary items such as dry food, arrows, etc.
As mentioned before, the emperor's scouts were repairing on a relatively high soil slope. This means that with the help of the inertia of running from top to bottom, their speed can accelerate to a very high level in a short period of time.
They had just run through half of the gentle slope, and their speed had already reached the highest speed. Listening to the whistling wind in their ears, the captain at the head was secretly happy - compared with them, the mounts of Yeer and others could not even take long strides. Neither took a step forward.
And in the remaining time, there was not enough research to ask them to increase the speed of the horses. If you want to retreat and flee at this time, you will only suffer a fatal blow when you turn around!
So he whispered the order, asking his companions to control the rhythm of the horses' running, and then according to the previous discussion, they found their respective goals.
Two cavalrymen attacked an enemy. Under such circumstances, the captain felt that he was sure of victory!
And at this time, Yeer and the others also completed their prayers to God.
A paladin opened his closed eyes, and the five of them felt a warm current flowing through their bodies. They and the horse felt endless vitality and power. They just pinched the horse's belly slightly, The war horse rushed forward like a rabbit, its four hooves were like shooting stars, and it galloped almost without moving.
This is one of the manifestations of "courage". It allows Yell and others to gain a speed comparable to that of enemy scouts at the snap of a finger!
Such a situation shocked the ten scouts, but before they had time to think about it, the faces of Yeer and others appeared in front of them. So there was no need to think anymore. They just straightened their arms, made the long swords in their hands form an acute angle with the ground, and then leaned to the right side of their targets.
The silhouettes of the two sides intertwined, and at the moment they met, each other's weapons flashed past like thunder and lightning!
The meteor shower drawn by several long swords flashed by at that moment, and then the golden roar and pitiful screams sounded one after another.
The emperor's scouts panted fiercely, trying to suppress the uneasiness and doubts that were constantly rising in their hearts. In the previous slash, they felt that the sword was like cutting on a waterfall rushing down. When it hit the real spot, it was inexplicably pushed aside by the force.
According to the previous discussion, they tried their best to control the Japanese war horses and let them turn around in the shortest time.
Then, the scouts who gathered together again were surprised to find that even including themselves, there were only four of them left and each of them was injured! Their self-confidence was completely destroyed by this discovery. They could no longer muster the courage to continue charging. Even if their captain had been killed, their wills reached a consensus in the shortest time.
Run away, run away, run away from these guys!
However, before they could turn their ideas into reality, the four holy warriors, who had used their "courage" to turn their horses around more easily, were already galloping towards them with long swords in hand!
But Yeer did not act with them. After he cut down the two enemies, he still urged his horse to move forward. He rushed to the top of the slope, and his target was the scout who was left behind!
"Compared to other companions, the scout on the slope knew the truth of the matter better. He saw with his own eyes how his captain and companions were chopped down to the ground by the paladin.
So, at this moment, he was stunned.
It wasn¡¯t until Yael swung his arm shield towards his face that he finally remembered his duty.
