Chapter 16 (1/2)
The bright and warm sunshine scattered on the red snow through the diffuse mist. The cold wind still rolled up the rusty smell.
Dada, dada!
The scattered sound of horses' hoofs broke the quiet environment. A team of more than 20 cavalry arrived in a hurry. They were wearing iron armor and carrying two meters of spears in their hands, slowly approaching around the renwal mountains.
Manan Jerome lifted his face armor, breathed, white air filled, and his black and fat face was dignified. He was awakened by his flustered subordinates at dawn. The notorious wolf stealing jackdaw passed through the urban area of ewendel, and the target seemed to be the renwal mountains.
As the garrison officer of irvindale Town, Manan Jerome did not hesitate and immediately arranged the sentry to hang tightly behind the wolf thief.
This is the virtue of a knight. Well, this is only the responsibility of a garrison officer. He doesn't want to be held accountable by the official afterwards, so as not to lose his hard won position.
Jackdaw, one of the most powerful wolf thieves in the north of the Kingdom, is synonymous with cruelty and killing. Manan Jerome doesn't think any force can resist in the area of ewendel town.
But when Manan Jerome heard the sentinel report that the wolf stole jackdaw's target was this area, he had to start and come.
If the rest of the town of ewendell did not know where this area was, as a garrison officer, he knew very well that this was the once abandoned outpost of the Kingdom, responsible for monitoring the situation of the renwal mountains.
The abandoned sentry post of the kingdom is occupied by a group of wolf thieves, which is a very vague event positioning. Once it is not handled well, the responsibility can be large or small.
Manan Jerome wanted both life and position, so he lingered until noon before leading the guard cavalry to the.
......................
Across the vast snow, Manan Jerome rode his war horse carefully until he saw the scene not far in front of him.
The black and red blood dyed a large area of pale snow. The broken weapons and broken bodies were discarded like garbage. It looked like a scarlet hell.
Horror and fear showed his face. Manan Jerome's fat body trembled on the war horse, especially when he saw those familiar blue armor and Chain Armor cloak. The whole person seemed to lose his soul.
He was not alone. The guards and cavalry of the whole town of irvindale were like this. Seeing such a bloody battle scene, the unbearable even fell off their horses and collapsed in the snow.
The glory of peace has enveloped stoke kingdom for more than ten years. This is a group of soldiers who have never experienced battlefield killing, but after several years of hard training.
”The Jackdaw is defeated?”
Manan Jerome, who came back, swallowed his saliva and looked at hundreds of corpses. ”Or was it destroyed?”
Those blue armor and chain armour cloaks are the symbolic clothes of wolf stealing jackdaws. Manan Jerome once fought and killed jackdaws in a military operation. The results can only be said to be good or bad. He also succeeded in winning the opportunity to become the garrison officer of ewendell town.
Now, the number of bodies in the snow is telling Manan Jerome that the wolf stealing jackdaw may have been really eliminated.
In a small-scale battle, the bodies left behind are far from the final casualties, but we can roughly estimate the loss of one side by virtue of this.
”If it's true, it should shake edalas!” Manan Jerome rubbed his face and filled his heart with envy and jealousy, but his mind is not bad. He can't be greedy for this credit.
”Damn it, you losers, move to me. I want to know the details of this battle. Go and check it quickly.”
Manan Jerome shouted fiercely to the guard cavalry behind him, and the whip in his hand beat them in the past, awakening their consciousness in fear.
Suddenly, Manan Jerome felt something vaguely, looked down at the slightly shaking snow, his face suddenly changed, there was no time to respond, and a black cavalry team quickly approached in the distant field of vision.
The dark armor, the sharp lance, and the indifferent eyes told Manan Jerome that this was an extremely elite cavalry team, and he had no possibility to escape.
Hoo!
Manan Jerome took a deep breath. As a veteran who had experienced the patriotic war for ten years, he forced himself to calm down quickly, turned his head and looked at his still chaotic subordinates. He vowed to practice them hard when he went back.
Clamping the horse's belly, Manan Jerome rode forward alone, seemingly fearlessly facing the black cavalry team, and no one knows his inner state of mind.
”I'm Manan Jerome, the garrison officer of ewendel town. Who are you?” Manan Jerome clenched the long sword around his waist. Although he was only one person, he was not afraid to preempt.
