CH 52

the pebbles on the ground of the canyon kept trembling, and the sound of roaring thunder from a distance kept approaching.

That was the swift and orderly sound of horseshoes stomping on the ground. Obviously, there was a group, or even countless cavalry troops, rushing in their direction.

Bruno Green frowned.

…who is it?!

Wright is on the opposite bank of the river.

Bruno could see that all the knights guarding the city of Gaynor were here.

So, who is coming to support? Why hasn’t he received any news before?!

The approaching sound of orderly horseshoes came near again.

Bruno finally saw who came to support Wright. His eyes uncontrollably widened. There was an incredible light in his eyes, and he blurted out, “Desinia?!” 

The black and white cavalry split the cold air like a mighty torrent.

They marched straight ahead in this gorge that was condensed into an ice field with an imposing aura. Countless cavalrymen wore black or white armor with helmets covering their faces, solemn and stern.

They’re holding the reins in one hand, while the other is holding weapons such as a spear or a sword.

The two knights at the forefront wore long fiery red capes, rustling against the wind. Their majestic momentum made people fear them and in awe.

Three flags were erected in the middle of the cavalry team. The two flags side by side in the front had a black and white background, but the patterns were the opposite colors.

The two flags are painted with a black and white tiger head, sniffing a bright and beautiful rose.

Displayed on the last flag is the emblem of the Desinian family.

A torrent of black and white approached.

Not long after, they stopped on the side of Wright, opposite Bruno.

Bruno’s expression was extremely ugly.

He looked at Wright sullenly, “I underestimated you.” 

“But what conditions did you use to persuade Desinia to send his cavalry team to support… It must have cost a lot.”

Wright was dressed as a knight, his armor was slightly damaged and spattered with blood.

He held the big sword in one hand, “You might as well guess it.”

Bruno’s face was uncertain.

He used part of the city and land of Gaynor as conditions to exchange with Helgeda. He can easily guess what “things” Wright would use to request assistance from Desinia.

He couldn’t help looking at the cavalry troops Desinia sent.

The number is still within the range that he can fight against. As long as he plans properly, he can take the opportunity to kill Wright Green, and then also find a way to force the Desinian cavalry team back…

Bruno discreetly glanced at the man who tamed the two lions.

After receiving his gaze, the man nodded slightly and then controlled the two lions to stop trying to rush forward and slowly hide some sense of existence.

Bruno said, “What benefits Wright has given you, I can also give you, or even more, as long as…”

“Anything?” The black cavalry commander at the forefront said in a deep voice.

His face was hidden under the helmet, unclear, but his eyes looked directly at Bruno Green.

Bruno felt that his voice and figure gave him a sense of familiarity…

He suddenly remembered the rumor about the knight commander of the Desinian black cavalry and couldn’t help saying, “… Fernandi Edwards?!”

Fernandi silently took off his helmet and revealed his face, “It’s me.”

The murderous intent and hatred in his eyes are unconcealed, just like a sharp sword stabbing at Bruno Green, “If anything is possible, can you give me your life.”

Bruno’s eyes flickered, “…It seems that you already know the truth about your sister’s death. Are you looking for me for revenge now?”

Fernandi was noncommittal.

Bruno wasn’t stupid, he’s very smart, so it didn’t take long for him to understand.

If he’s right, Fernandi Edwards should have known the truth after he was captured when he sent Matthew Luke to Fort Comoy.

From Matthew Luke’s mouth… It turns out that Fernandi has been bought by Desinia since then.

Bruno couldn’t help but resent Xia Zuoyi Desinia for meddling.

Now with Fernandi’s position in the cavalry team, it’s impossible to persuade him. So it’s better to just do it directly.

“Kill them! Whoever can cut off Wright Green’s head will be able to obtain land and become a baron!”

“Kill!” 

The cavalry rushed towards the opposite bank in high spirits.

Fernandi put on his helmet again.

He and Walker looked at each other. They held their swords up, and then with a vigorous wave, they led the cavalry behind them to rush out.

The cavalry line left behind did not move.

They rode their horses in a row, heavily guarded, and seemed to be protecting something.

Just at this time, two soldiers appeared pushing an iron four-wheeled vehicle. On the vehicle was something that looked like an enlarged version of a bow and arrow, but it was different from the bow and arrow used in ordinary times.

Two other soldiers mounted an arm-long arrow in it. At the same time, another soldier blew a horn made of animal bones.

“Woo—”

The heavy horn resounded on the battlefield, and the black and white cavalry troop diverged, bypassing from the middle to the side…

At the same moment, there were four or five voices almost breaking through the air. Within the time when no one could react, arm-length arrows shot into Bruno’s cavalry or the horse they were riding… 

Their armors broke and their horses overturned.

It’s as simple as this.

Bruno’s cavalry was already beaten to pieces, their forward formation was destroyed. The death and injury were not so heavy, but it was totally unexpected for Bruno.

His pupils dilated uncontrollably and his face was extremely gloomy. Suddenly, he waved his hand to let the trainer release the two lions.

The lions, who had been hungry for a long time, rushed to the middle of the battlefield the moment the trainer let go of the rope.

They have been thoroughly tamed. As a result of the previous beating lessons, both their minds and bodies have been forced to remember who are the ones who should be killed.

So, under the early avoidance of Bruno’s cavalry, the two lions rushed straight into the ranks of the black and white cavalry.

But it did not cause them to panic, because, at this moment, the continuous roar of tigers and lions began to resound throughout the entire Gandamia Canyon.

At the moment when countless people were trembling, three huge beasts suddenly jumped out of the last guarding team.

They are so fast that they almost run to the battlefield in the blink of an eye. Their fur still glows incomparably attractive under the inconspicuous sunlight and seems to shine with fragments of light when they jump and run.

The cavalry on the battlefield was afraid of these beasts but at the same time, they couldn’t help sighing about this beauty full of vitality.

The black and white cavalry team led by Fernandi and Walker did not rush to fight Bruno’s cavalry.

Instead, they formed an encirclement without a trace, blocking Bruno’s cavalry and surrounding them.

“Roar—”

Egg Yolk pounced on one of the lions that Bruno released.

This lion looks very thin and short against Egg Yolk. The fur on its body is dull, the teeth and claws aren’t sharp enough, and the tail is bald… It looks extraordinarily vicious and ugly, without the prestige that a lion should have. 

At the moment Egg Yolk pounced, the lion kept retreating in fear. Finally, tremblingly lying on the ice, it showed uncontrollable submission to Egg Yolk.

However, Egg Yolk did not stop because of this. With his sharp brownish eyes, he found the opportunity to bite the lion’s neck… Under the lion’s wailing, hot blood spurted out.

Another lion was also killed by Briquette in an instant.

With Bruno’s eyes cracking and his expression extremely shocked, the deafening roar of tigers and lions once again resounded throughout the wilderness canyon.

The horses of the cavalry were shivering and slipping unsteadily on the thick ice.

Even the knights riding on them were frightened one by one, for fear that the three beasts would suddenly turn around and pounce on them.

Just as Bruno’s mood fluctuated violently and became extremely restless, a sound came from behind the canyon…

He turned around with a force that could almost break his neck—the countless soldiers who appeared behind the canyon were the cavalry led by Taylor and the others by detouring around.

Bruno realized very clearly at this time that if he didn’t find a way to escape, he would probably die in this famous Gandamia Canyon in Gaynor…

He failed.

In this case where the situation is clear and there’s a great disparity of strength between the enemy and themselves.

It’s impossible for him to defeat the black and white cavalry team of Desinia. What’s more, they still have the three beasts to deter them.

Bruno Green was already timid.

He didn’t show it on his face, only continued commanding the cavalry to attack.

But he plans to quietly escape under the cover of a close knight.

…

The long-lost eagle screech in the sky came again.

Bruno suddenly heard the knight beside him exclaim in disbelief.

Immediately, his whole body was caught off guard with a violent strong wind, which struck him like a needle…

Bruno’s hairs bristled and intuition told him that there was danger approaching.

He suddenly raised his head, and his involuntarily widened eyes reflected the huge bird that was almost close at hand. For a moment, fear and panic uncontrollably flashed across his face…

The next moment Bruno only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

He was grabbed by the big bird’s claws, then suddenly, there were spinning canyons and glaciers in his eyes. After another pain, he was thrown to the ground, his sight turned black.

The sound of footsteps and wheels approached slowly, and finally stopped not far from him.

When Bruno regained his composure, he opened his eyes to see the direction and place around him… In the blink of an eye, he was taken to the opposite side of the riverbank, which belonged to Wright’s camp.

No, he is now surrounded by Desinian soldiers.

Looking at the frozen river again, because he was captured, the cavalry’s fighting spirit dropped instantly.

Because of the disparity in numbers, the deterrence of the beasts, and the shocking moment Bruno Green was taken away by the bird, they were quickly captured and capitulated.

Udit opened the carriage door, lifted the curtain, and whispered, “My lord, Bruno Green has been caught.”

Bruno looked up.

A young boy, who’s beautiful and dignified enough, appeared outside the carriage.

He was wearing a black warm velvet cloak, looking so exquisite. After a slight wave of his hand from the cloak, the huge bird that had caught him stopped on the top of the carriage behind the young boy, bowed his head, and very intimately rubbed against him and chirped.

Three beasts came running at this time.

Two tigers and a lion surrounded the carriage, obviously very close to the young boy.

Xia Zuoyi faintly looked at Bruno and said, “You’re guilty Bruno Green.”

“The guilt of the loser will be written by the winner. You have no chance to refute. You will be executed in the Gandamia Grand Canyon and buried in the Abutin River…” 

The wind happened to blow at this time, blowing up a small puff of snow.

In the canyon, there was a “hooo” sound from the distance when the cold wind roared, and the flag of thorns and roses fluttered in the wind.

Bruno Green’s last sight was the bright red.

He was stabbed in the chest by Wright and beheaded by Fernandi at the same time.
