Chapter 78 (2/2)

The two herders were alarmed and they rushed over furiously The male herder shouted loudly but Rody could not understand a word Rody simply rushed towards him with his scimitar

The people of the grasslands were valiant The male herder immediately put down his whip, took out a bow and arrow and shot at Rody Rody smiled coldly and deflected the arroith his sciot nearer, Rody held the hilt of his scimitar with both hands and lifted it up before he slashed the male herder Before the herder could draw his sword, there was a spurt of blood and his head flew into the sky Rody's face felt warm as it was splashed with blood However, he did not hesitate to pick up the bow and arrow on the ground as he rushed towards the female herder

The female herder shrieked repeatedly but she did not run away Instead, she took out a sword and rushed towards Rody

Rody saw the grief on her face At first, he turned soft but then he reht to himself

If I do not kill her, she will nurture their young The cattle will also be used to replenish the eneth and then they will be able to harm us

Rody did not hesitate any longer and shot an arrow The arrow pierced through the feround

He looked at the two corpses on the ground Rody felt like a bloodthirsty and ruthless man He had to screa in his chest He then grabbed a horse and quickly set off in the direction of his base

Rody spent another day riding quickly and occasionally resting in between In the evening, Rody finally reached a s to his survey before the start of the expedition, crossing the sdom's territory He would then arrive at the Northwest plains In less than two days, he would be able to reach Watt Fortress Rody's ed his horse to run forward

Just before the sun set, a ru froroup of cavalrymen appeared and stopped in front of Rody Rody immediately stopped his horse too as his heart sank

The faint neighing of their horses, their dazzling ar swords all came into view

That cavalry only had several hundred soldiers From a distance, he could tell that the cavalry was unlike the Great Moon Kingdodom's cavalry did not wear metal armor but thin leather ones instead So across their backs

The cavalry in front of him wore heavy silver arrasslands which ood armor Their equipment was comparable to the ones worn by the E God's Whip' Across their backs were not bows and arrows but strange cross-shaped swords They each held a sharp spear, which flashed under the sunlight in one hand and a large shi+eld with a cross-shaped symbol in the middle in the other hand

The cavalry did not immediately rush at him but slowly moved into a battle formation They were very different frorasslands Hundreds of soldiers arranged themselves neatly to forh there were openings in between the shi+elds, the front and rear were closely packed together to forun to surround Rody from a distance

One of the cavalrymen slowly approached and shouted loudly, ”Honorable cavalryman of the Radiant Empire, please dismount and hand over your weapons!” The words were spoken in the Ee However, the accent was a bit odd

Rody took a deep breath He was cal a lot of life and death situations for the past few days, he did not panic at all Rody coldly shouted back, ”Who are you guys?! Are you frodom?”

They were dumbfounded when they heard Rody's question The cavalry asked Rody to hand over his weapons again and slowlymanner

Rody sneered, ”What if I a?”

The other side no longer spoke With one order, their formation slowly shi+fted Their half-moon shaped formation started to push forward Rody knew that they were preparing to charge A cavalry cannot start a charge by i slowly for a few steps for the horse to war for maximum efficiency

The horse that Rody took from the herders was not a war horse It sensed the cavalry'scrisis due to its natural instincts It gave a troubled neigh as it slowly backed away

The cavalry on the other side suddenly shouted with their spears in the air They then pointed their spears at Rody but kept their formation

Rody's horse was startled and it suddenly started to neigh loudly
