Chapter 804 - Set Out! (1/2)
Honk!
On the next morning, the low horns spread out with a muffled tone from the main military base. The military base which had been set up for a few days suddenly moved.
Small groups of cavaliers charged out nonstop from the front row and the flanks. They quickly vanished from the horizon in the distance. Then, rows of black dragons shook the ground. Under the thunderous hooves from armored horses, batches of cavaliers rode forth in streams, and they were immediately followed by the army slowly advancing forward while flags flew in the sky.
Countless players watched the sea of people in front of them with dumbfounded expressions Their ears were filled with horn blares, hooves thudding against the ground, and the united footsteps stomping on the ground, causing it to shake.
Only the soldiers in charge of logistics stayed where they were. The six camps also remained at the military base.
‘It’s finally beginning.’ Many people had this thought flash in their minds.
But many people could not help but feel shocked and respectful when they faced such a large army.
Were they about to face a similarly large Mongolian army?
*****
“Giddy-up!”
No one knew how much time had passed, but eventually, someone rode forth in the direction where the cavaliers went to, and his loud shout snapped many players out of their daze.
Immediately after, the crowd became restless. The horses moved their feet, and the second, third, and many more people from the originally silent crowd surged forth, like water rushing out of a dam once the floodgates were open. The ground trembled once more, and the dense wave of martial artists charged to the plains beyond the horizon with an astonishing momentum.
They rode madly on the mountain path the army chose to make their advance.
“My brothers and sisters, those who are doing the scouting quest to draw the map, come over here!”
Quite a number of bold shouts rose and fell from the people on the horses.
“Those who are attacking the flanks, come to me!”
“Haha! Men should fight in battlefields! Today, I’m definitely going to fight to my hearts’ content!”
Wind blew, and the clouds surged. The army moved like an avalanche, and they gave off the feeling as if they wanted to flatten the world! The armored cavaliers rode forward at lightning speed, making those who saw them have their hearts tense. With the horn blares and sounds from the war drums from the marching army, everything stimulated all the players in the area, exciting the hot blood and fervor at the bottom of their hearts.
Even Happy was immersed in this strange passion, and he was unable to extract himself from it even after a long time had passed.
He yanked at his reins while he swung his leather whip. Happy then felt himself charging forward in the violent wind. The sky around him was wide, and the world was big, making him feel incredibly free.
While he was among the advancing crowd, time passed. Many martial artists surpassed the advancing army. When they saw the large mass of black being left behind, many players’ excited and strange cries rose nonstop in the air around the plains.
“My friends, we’re moving ahead!”
“Giddy-up!”
Everyone among the charging cavaliers had different goals and quests, such as scouting, reconnaissance, harassment, spying, and so on. In fact, there were some people who noticed that they had rushed too far ahead and had to turn back to return to the advancing army, inciting long strings of laughter on the plains.
Rumble! Rumble!
The sounds of horse hooves gradually became orderly and clear, but the rate in which they occurred also became much higher.
As the scouting team left the army with the cavaliers from the flank, Happy noticed, to his slight shock, that there were more than one hundred people who followed the cavaliers to head even further into the plains.
This was what happened.
