Chapter 142 - Lei Nuo's Crisis

At the border of the southeastern province of the O'Brien Empire, the area south of Neil City was where the Rohault Empire and the O'Brien Empire intersected. This area was also the most chaotic area.

The Rohault Empire was located to the south of the Anarchic Lands, west of the great plains to the far east.

After having battled against the knights of the grasslands for so long, the people of the Rohault Empire were extremely valiant and valiant. The Rohault Empire had fought quite a few times with the O'Brien Empire in the region south of Neil City. The blood from the battle caused the soil of the countryside to turn dark red.

"Hu!" "Hu!" The wind howled, causing the tall grass half a man's body to bend. Through the grass, one could vaguely see a small stream in the distance with dozens of fine horses drinking from it.

Several tens of Knights were sitting on the ground, resting. There were even a few Knights guarding the area.

At this moment, Lei Nuo was leaning against a withered tree, his eyes were like a hawk looking at his surroundings. The Lei Nuo in the army was completely different from normal people. On his chest, there was a golden imprint of a flame. This meant that he was a member of the elite army of the O'Brien Empire, the Golden Flame Army.

His standard armor also showed his level; he was a captain.

Lei Nuo took out a pocket watch and looked at the time. "It's already three in the afternoon.

"Milord." "Right now, the Rohault Empire has no war with our Empire either. Do you think it's a waste of effort for us to be so vigilant over a long period of time?" "Hu Zi, don't say too much." Lei Nuo frowned.

"Yes." The blue-haired Knight immediately stopped laughing.

The cavalry unit that Lei Nuo was leading belonged to the lower troop. There were a total of three squadrons, a total of 900 people. Right now, all eighteen squads had already been split up and patrolled. The squadron led by Lei Nuo was also his personal troop, the strongest squadron.

It had been eight or nine years since he entered the army, and Lei Nuo had also climbed up from being a normal soldier.

"Although the Rohault Empire has not fought with our O'Brien Empire for over a decade now …" But there were not many small movements during normal times? Every year, more than ten thousand soldiers of the Empire die in these chaotic wars along the border. " Lei Nuo said in a serious tone, "And according to my calculations, if there hasn't been a large-scale war in a long time, compared to the Rohault Empire, whose population has also reached their limit, they probably need a war urgently. So, we have to be careful. "

The meaning of war was very simple.

The more people there were, the less land there was and the less food there was. The Empire would naturally initiate a war of its own accord. Otherwise, the Empire would be in a state of upheaval. When both Empires lost a large number of people and had enough land, the war would naturally come to an end.

In fact, this was the most basic of meanings.

After all, to ordinary people, the most basic method was to eat, drink, and live.

"Yes, my lord, we will be careful." The blue-haired knight laughed.

"That's right, Master, I heard that even Master Lin Feng, the student you were at the Ernst Institute with back then, was not his match." The blue-haired Knight whispered.

Lei Nuo couldn't help but laugh when he heard his subordinate mention Lin Feng.

"With a single move, he scared Hei Desen away. Even I am shocked by it." Lei Nuo said indifferently. In his heart, Lei Nuo was still a little regretful.

Turning his head back to look at the west, Lei Nuo could not help but squint his eyes due to the blazing sun. His good brother Lin Feng was right in the middle of the west side of the imperial city.

"In another year, the ten-year period will expire. I'm leaving the army. " Lei Nuo sighed in his heart.

However, Lei Nuo knew the rules of the clan. According to the clan rules, if the disciples of the clan entered the army for ten years, they would be able to reach the rank of Regiment Commander and Vice Regiment Commander. In that case, he would always be in the army. If he didn't reach that point, he would have to return to the clan.

Lei Nuo was now a captain, he was only a step away.

However, although Lei Nuo preferred the army, he did not expect himself to be in the army for his entire life. Right now, he was already a Magician of the seventh rank. If he trained hard for a hundred years, he would have a chance at becoming a magus of the ninth rank.

While quietly waiting, the various squads gradually gathered here. In the afternoon, it was 4: 50 PM. There were already four hundred people gathered here. There were five hundred people who had yet to arrive.

"Eh?" Lei Nuo suddenly frowned.

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as though an invisible killing intent was lurking towards them, Lei Nuo was a Magician, his mental energy was strong. This feeling was much stronger than ordinary people.

"Be careful!" Lei Nuo suddenly shouted coldly.

"Yes, milord." The surrounding knights all assented, but right at this moment, the sound of galloping horses could be heard, rapidly approaching at high speed.

"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!" That shrill sound pierced through the quiet sky.

Almost all the knights reacted extremely quickly. They grabbed their pikes, the shields on their arms, and rushed towards the warhorse one by one. But right at this moment, sharp arrows shot out from far away. "Swish!" "Swish!"

The quality of the Empire's land shields was excellent. In times of war, it was impossible for a bow to pierce through. Indeed, many arrows landed on the shield, causing it to tremble. The arrows were powerless as they fell down, but the dozen or so arrows seemed to pierce through paper …

An arrow rapidly pierced through the shield, then directly into the head of a knight, causing his brain to spill out.

Seeing this scene, Lei Nuo's heart ached. This Knight was his personal guard, he had followed him for six years. Having interacted with each other for six years, naturally their feelings were deep, but Lei Nuo instantly determined: "To be able to shoot through the shield at a distance of a few hundred meters, he is definitely an expert, a Level 7 or Level 8 Warrior. And there were quite a few of them.

"Rumble …" As the people in the distance drew near, the sound of the horses' hooves grew clearer. This group of people were dressed in gray armor, and the hooves of their warhorses were wrapped in cloth.

In front of this group of people, there were more than a dozen bloodstained knights running away.

"Rosie." Lei Nuo's expression changed, those ten odd Knights were part of his large group.

"Milord, let's go. The Rohault Empire's army has thousands of people. Quick!" A knight that was covered in blood rushed over, but in the blink of an eye, an arrow had pierced through his throat.

"Kill them! Leave no one alive!" A cold voice rang out from afar.

"Retreat!"

Lei Nuo shouted loudly. There were thousands of enemies, but he only had a few hundred people with him. Adding the enemy's sneak attack, this team was obviously made up of elites.

Moreover, their duty was to patrol and spread the news.

The surviving riders immediately mounted their war horses. Perhaps it was because the enemy side was also greedy for the hundreds of horses. The arrows just now had all been shot at the riders, so the war horses hadn't suffered any losses. The four hundred people started to escape, but there were only a hundred of them left. This was because Lei Nuo had used a spell to frighten the other party, and at the same time, he was also chanting an incantation.

Suddenly, with Lei Nuo at the center, eight gigantic blades of flames formed a fan and soared into the sky. The eight sabers of flame directly rushed into the cavalrymen that were chasing from behind.

"Fire Magic — — Flame Slash!" Chi chi. That blazing flame struck one of the knights, who immediately cried out in pain. All of his armor melted, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body was charred. The surrounding grass was once again set on fire, and the cavalrymen behind them had no choice but to slow down.

"Chase! Chase!" The leader with messy yellow hair glared at Lei Nuo who was in the distance.

If it weren't for Magician, they would have killed this group of people long ago. But it was this Magician, especially since it was autumn now, and the grass had already withered and turned yellow. In addition, a large area had been set ablaze. This had completely blocked their pursuit.

Magic power is not limitless.

Lei Nuo did not dare to cast rank 7 spells. But even so, the magic power in Lei Nuo's body had been completely used up.

The Rohault Empire was still in pursuit, only a squadron of three hundred soldiers. But in this squadron, there were more than a dozen experts of the seventh rank. It was obviously the most elite team. And amongst the remaining hundred or so people, there was only one warrior of the seventh rank, the Magician of the seventh rank.

"Neil City. I see Neil City!" The shouts of one of the knights rang out.

"Neil City!" Lei Nuo looked at the blurry outline in the distance, his eyes filled with hope. He rode even harder to catch up.

"Swoosh!" At the same time, he raised his shield to block. With a squelch sound, the arrow brushed against the edge of the shield and pierced into Lei Nuo's shoulder, the powerful penetrating force actually caused the extremely exhausted Lei Nuo to sway for a moment, and almost fall off his horse.

After running for more than two hours, it was already dark.

There were quite a few warriors standing guard atop the walls of Neil City. At the same time, there seemed to be a number of nobles standing guard on the walls, doing nothing.
