The members of this cavalry unit, horses included, were encompassed in a layer of thick and heavy silver armor. They flashed with a piercing glow under the sunlight, appearing like many moving metallic monsters.

However, when Ning Baichuan—who was on top of the city walls— saw this cavalry unit, he immediately became very agitated. “Bing Region’s Steel Cavalry! The Steel Cavalry is here!”

Bing Region’s Steel Cavalry consisted of the elite soldiers trained by Bing Region’s Li Clan. They had the reputation of being the best cavalry in the world.

The Li Clan was a clan left behind by one of the four great generals who founded the country. Their duke aristocracy had been passed down through the generations, and even the Emperor could not remove them from the position.

The Great Jin Dynasty’s feudal vassals had great authorities and vast conferred lands. Their system was one which was similar to an enfeoffment system, which even the Emperor would not be able to expropriate easily. This was a hidden problem left behind from the period the country was founded, and it was also one of the reasons why the current world had entered such chaos.

A clan like the Bing Region’s Li Clan that had earned great merit in the founding of the country would even be able to possess their own army. The Steel Cavalry was what their clan was known for.

Each member of the Steel Cavalry underwent training with horses starting from a young age and consumed a large amount of meat for every meal. They cultivated internal techniques starting from when they were young, and even the horses had to cultivate internal techniques.

Each of them ate, lived, and trained together with their rides.

Their horses were also a well-known breed that the Bing Region’s Li Clan took special efforts to nurture—Riding Clouds Chasing Lightning. They were a famed breed that far surpassed ordinary horses in terms of built, lifespan, strength, and endurance. They could even cultivate internal techniques together with their owners, thereby possessing essential Qi.

After people and horses who cultivated like this grew up, there would no longer be any distinction between them, and even their essential Qi would be able to connect together as one, forming a Qi field.

Moreover, they were equipped with Illuminating Darkness Armor that weighed over 1,000 kilograms and was almost impenetrable by blades and spears and uninvadable by fire and water. Each member of the Steel Cavalry was an existence that could hold up against ten people single-handedly.

When these metal mounds gathered together and charged out, the horse power, human power, steel, and essential Qis would be connected together. It would have an impact of several million tons of power. It was truly surging rush of steel, and they would not care even if they were up against several an army of several ten thousand men.

This could be seen from the unbridled gleam in their eyes.

Every member of the Steel Cavalry raised their head arrogantly, and the confidence in their eyes was so intense that it seemed to be material. The 100,000-man army from the imperial court did not bother them at all.

They had the right to be proud. It was because ever since the Steel Cavalry was introduced to the world, they had not lost to anyone in a head-on battle.

Moreover, there were 5,000 of them now

At the very front of the Steel Cavalry, a man whose upper body was bare sat on top of a huge beast. It was called a huge beast because the ‘horse’ the man rode was over five meters in height, had a curvy horn on its head, and had very red eyes. The beast’s muscles released explosive powers, and each step it took out seemed like it could cause the ground to tremor.

This was the king of all horses that the Li Clan had nurtured—Jade Water Kirin.

The person seated on the Jade Water Kirin was the Li Clan’s young master—Li Anguo.

Although his upper body was bare, his muscles gleamed with a glow like that of metal. He had trained the Li Clan’s Indestructible Golden Physique to an extreme, and every inch of his body had the greatest level of toughness, strength, and tenacity.
