Chapter 478: Difficult Choice Between Loyalty And Righteousness! (1/2)
Crunch—— —
The wheels crushed the snow and ice.
Horse hooves clattered, uniformly lifting and falling at the same time, chilling and oppressive.
The horses puffed white vapour out its nostrils and mouth, fusing into one with the cold mist in the air, indicating that they had just experienced a long and difficult journey and the exhaustion of their body.
These were all frontier warhorses, able to carry armed warriors to charge across the battlefield——but at this moment they were all exhausted. Thus, it can be imagined what kind of terrifying things they had been through before.
Hundreds of black-armoured mounted soldiers were escorting a black carriage. Their bodies were protected by a black iron armour and wore a wolf mask made of fine steel over their head. This was the Wolf Army that had swept through the world, known across the Divine continent.
They were specially trained by the head of the Lu family Lu Xingkong. Although the number was small, but they triumphed in every battle and won every fight, charged and broke through enemy lines, and were invincible.
When Lu Xingkong left the battlefield, he only brought the hundreds of the Wolf army to return to Tiandu with him. These people were the main forces that protected Lu Xingkong and defended the Lu mansion.
Now that the Wolf Army had appeared in the wilderness, it indicated that there must be important people of the Lu family nearby.
Crunch——
Wheels rumbled——
Huchi Huchi——
The warhorses neighed.
The wind died away and the snow stopped. There was a round cold moon appeared in the sky.
It was also this full cold moon and the glistening silver snow across the vast land that guided their way. Otherwise, without lighting torches and using illuminating pearls in this desolate area it would have been difficult to quickly move forward in such deep snow.
It would have been dangerous it they accidentally went to a cliff or pothole.
Snow, all over the world was blood snow.
Blood, a continuous line of red blood appeared in the heavy snow.
How far the convoy went was how long the line of blood was.
Someone in the group of people had been wounded, but they still carried on the journey. They had encountered seven interceptions along the way, and did not even had the time and energy to bandage up the wounds.
In the direction of a destination that they did know about either.
Ka——
The two black-armoured mounted soldiers at the front came to a halt.
A mounted soldier raised his right hand, and the wolf soldiers at the back immediately reined their horse to a halt and clutched at the hilt of their swords.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
The mountainous road was steep, and the cold moon was lonely and still.
Amid the heavy snow, hundreds of black horses were crowded around a carriage.
They did not advance forward, nor retreat.
They quietly stood in the same place, fixed their eyes ahead, hands clasping the hilt, silent and still.
The horses seemed to have felt danger, twisted their bodies uneasily and digging the ice and snow beneath their feet.
However, under the control of the black-armoured mounted soldiers, they could only stay where they were, unable to run, unable to escape.
Kacha——
Ahead, in the dark end of sight, a man clad in a three-headed snake uniform and with a large red cloak draped over him appeared.
Then there was a second one, then the third one——
