Black Iron Crown

"You mean they've been hiding in the frigid forest all this time, that's why we haven't found any trace of them?" Reiner frowned and looked at the file in his hand, subconsciously stroking the smooth one with his left hand asked with a little stubble on his chin.

"Yes, Lord Baron, that's what these two people said. According to my observation, they are not lying!"

Logan swore to Reiner that, as a spy chief, he had his own pride and methods, and such things as false information would never happen to a cautious person like him.

Hearing this, Reiner's brows became even tighter. It shouldn't be. Although it's only autumn, the temperature in the frigid forest is almost below zero. Surviving and hiding in such a harsh environment, normal people Wouldn't do that?

At this time, seeing that Reiner didn't reply, Logan continued: "Besides, I also asked other things out of their mouths..."

Reiner raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Logan with searching eyes, only to see him go on to say: "According to what they said, they came back here from the eastern grasslands, and there are a few more people in their team following them." The nomadic people who came together, and they seemed to be soldiers or aristocratic officers who followed His Majesty the Emperor to sweep the east. Because the Emperor was defeated by an accident, they were trapped on the grassland to escape. It took more than a year to start going in the direction of the empire."

"Still an imperial person?" Reiner repeated in surprise, licked his lips, put down the document and said to Logan: "Very well, I understand, try to get as much information as possible, I will let you Let's go to the frigid forest to find out where they are!"

After sending Logan away, Reiner immediately called Tilihan, the leader of the veteran cavalry archers, over. Cavalry archers are the most suitable to deal with these light cavalry.

"Please tell me anything, my most honorable Lord Nayan who has been blessed by the Longevity Heaven, we are your most loyal Haidongqing, as long as you give an order, we will immediately catch the prey and offer it to you!"

As a race from the east, the Kujit people definitely have stricter class divisions than the Redcar people, so as soon as Tilihan entered the room, he immediately knelt down on one knee, stroked his left chest with his right hand, and said respectfully.

"Get up, my most powerful eagle, I am very assured of your loyalty and ability!" Reiner nodded with a smile. Although he was a little uncomfortable with their behavior, he still liked it when he said it.

"You know, some time ago in our territory there was a group of robbers who came and went like the wind on war horses. Now I finally found their traces. Your people fought with them. You should know, so I hope You go to the frigid forest and catch this group of people back to me!" Reiner said.

"Yes, Lord Nayan, please hand over the map to me, and then you can wait for us to return in victory in the castle!" Tillihan nodded solemnly and walked to Reiner's desk Waiting for Reiner to hand him the map.

After getting the map, Tillihan left Reiner's study in a hurry.

Back in the barracks, I saw that the senior cavalry archers were either bathing their horses or wiping their scimitars. It was not time for immediate training, so a group of people had to maintain their equipment first.

"Stand up! Keep your spirits up, lads! We have work to do, and the baron has a task for us to do!"

"Great head! Who is it?"

"My bones are about to rust, I have to cut a few people to move my body!" A senior cavalry archer drew out his machete and waved it twice, and said with a grin.

"Didn't you fight those horse thieves a while ago? Now you have finally found their place. Your lord baron wants us to wipe out those bandits immediately, and it is best to bring the prisoners back!" Tillihan smiled. Laughed and said to this group of eager cavalry shooters.

The twenty-eight riders just put on their armor, brought enough rice and dry food, fed the horse a good meal of beans, and then turned on their horses and left the castle in a mighty way.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes that were drifting away, Leiner was quite confident about this action. Defeating a dozen robbers, even if they were robbers from the army, shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Along the way, the archers ran wildly for a while, then stopped their horses to rest for a while, and then rushed out again. At such an extremely fast speed, they covered a distance of nearly 20 kilometers in about an hour. It's over.

Tilihan felt that the horse under his crotch was panting slightly, so he dismounted and gave the order to rest in place.

The atmosphere of the soldiers was divided into two parts, one part was guarding the periphery of the forest with sparse trees, and the other part was taking care of the horses so that they could recover their strength as soon as possible.

About half an hour later, when he realized that the soldiers and horses had almost rested, Tilihan ordered the army to continue.

He rode on the horse and kept looking at the map in his hand, and then compared the surrounding things to see if he made any mistakes.

There was a rustling sound, and the withered and yellow leaves fell from the autumn wind. He put the map in his arms, pointed his horsewhip with a smile and said, "The enemy's meeting is two kilometers ahead of us." March slowly, keep the noise to a minimum, I will catch them off guard!"

Hearing this, the group of cavalry archers didn't say much, but they all filled their lips, or clenched the scimitar that had been unsheathed in their hands, and their eyes were already looking like hungry wolves.

Looking at the unsuspecting camp that seemed to be still eating, Tillihan shouted, "Charge!"

The light cavalry is different from the heavy cavalry, not to mention that they come and go like the wind, and they can accelerate extremely quickly. In just a few seconds, their speed has increased to the extreme, and the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground is almost dense. indistinguishable.

"What's that sound? Horseshoe! It's a horseshoe! Someone's coming!" As former soldiers, these bandits had lived on the harsh and dangerous grassland for so long, so they were still vigilant and reacted very quickly.

Almost subconsciously, they pulled out the long sword or scimitar that never left their waists, and then looked around for their war horses.

At this time, the distance between the experienced cavalry archers and the camp was less than 400 meters, and it only took a few tens of seconds to arrive immediately.

Tirihan rushed to the front, waving the scimitar with his right hand high, and screaming strangely, and the soldiers behind him did the same thing, wrapped in light scale armor, and the fringe on the helmet With the hurricane driven by the speeding horses, it flew up and down.
