CHAPTER 174

In the blockade line of the Saint Airo Empire against the Kadi tribe.

Due to the hot weather, several knight officers who had been replaced as guards came to the side of the tree together.

They put the swords in their hands under the tree, then took off their chainmails and their helmets, and let out a long sigh of relief.

For half a day, they were almost bored to death.

"Strange, isn't it only June now?! Why is it so hot..." Some knights couldn't help but say.

They wore chainmail for defense, and their shoulders, waist and other parts were protected by armor pieces, which were not only heavy, but also sweltering.

After just standing for a while, their backs started to sweat.

If they stand guard under the sun for a long time, they will definitely faint from exhaustion, so every once in a while, a group of knights will be replaced on the blockade.

It wasn't until the evening that they felt more relaxed.

"Last winter was also very cold. My neighbor was an old man who lived alone. After the heavy snowfall, he froze to death at home."

"I only discovered this later and I realized something was wrong..."

"Speaking of last winter...it seems that the unusual weather started at that time. It's only June and it's so hot now. How hot will it be in August and September?!"

"It won't... there won't be a drought right." A knight said worriedly.

Others scolded him for talkinh of bad news.

But they still felt a little worried... In this kind of weather, what if…

The atmosphere couldn't help but become silent.

After a while, someone began to talk about the relationship between the leader of the Kadi tribe, Samielle Phoebe, and His Majesty the King.

"I really don't know what this Miss Phoebe is thinking. It's inappropriate to leave a good queen of the empire alone, but she insists on coming to the Kadi tribe..."

"I thought Miss Phoebe ran away for the sake of the Desinian lord she admired."

"That lord is a cruel man."

"I heard that Miss Phoebe went to the Desinia Territory at first, but who knew that the lord immediately informed His Majesty in a letter."

"Really...he didn't want any beauties that came to his door."

"Haha, who dares to ask for a flower full of thorns? He must be afraid that His Majesty will send cavalry to attack the Desinian territory. The empire is invincible!"

After the knight finished speaking, he picked up his sword and made a slashing motion.

However, when the tip of the sword was pointed diagonally towards the ground, the tiny pebbles on the dirt ground suddenly began to tremble...

One grain after another, rolling around.

"Not good!"

A knight immediately realized that something was wrong, shouted a warning, and began to put on the chainmail, helmet, etc. he had just taken off.

They moved quickly, quickly picked up their weapons and looked into the distance with solemn and nervous expressions.

And dust slowly rose in the distance.

The knights stood ready, but their expressions became more and more solemn. As the "black spot" in the distance gradually grew larger, their eyes widened in disbelief.

Their hearts seemed to start to tremble slightly as the ground shook...

——There were two long black and white cavalry teams, seemingly as if their end was not within sight. The lightweight but solid armor shimmered in the sunlight, reflecting a golden light at the edge of the shoulder armor.

The dust in the air intertwined with the light, and the horse's hooves trampled the ground...

It seemed like an unstoppable black and white tide, surged towards the shore, while they were the gravel on the riverbank, not only powerless to resist, but also scattered in a snap.

The imperial knights guarding the blockade were now clearly aware of the disparity in power between the two sides.

On the flag flying in the sun was the rose of thorns that represented the glory of Desinia. It was dazzling in their eyes, clearly showing their presence.

With no scruples, overwhelming everyone.

How could there be so many cavalry from the Desinian territory? !

Seeing the tidal wave of black and white cavalry approaching quickly, the leading Imperial Knight Commander hurriedly shouted: "This is the blockade of the Saint Airo Empire. It is forbidden to cross the territory of other countries!"

However, his words were of no use at all.

After the Imperial Knight Commander finished shouting, Fernandi, who was leading the black and white cavalry team, pulled out the sword hanging from his waist and raised it high.

The cavalry behind him immediately drew their weapons in unison.

The most important thing is that the momentum of the cavalry team continues unabated.

This is a symbol of attack.

——They cannot confront them head-on, otherwise the loser will definitely be the empire…

The Imperial Knight Commander's face turned pale, and finally his expression changed and he gritted his teeth and said, "Give way! Open the way for me! Hurry up!"

After he finished speaking, the other knights quickly retreated to both sides.

The vibrations on the ground became more pronounced as the black and white cavalry approached, making people feel as if a stone was hanging on their heart, and their eardrums were constantly beating.

Just when the empire's knight commander thought that the cavalry team in the Desinian territory would continue to rush through the blockade with unabated momentum, they gradually slowed down and openly changed their formations in front of them.

——The cavalry team leading the charge separated to both sides, and the team behind quickly moved forward and moved to the middle.

With sharp eyes, the Imperial Knight Commander saw that the soldiers in the middle were transporting large quantities of supplies, food, cloth... Among them, there were some slightly weird-looking wooden machines on the carriage behind them.

——Does the Desinia territory want to support the Kadi tribe? !

This is a blatant provocation to the Saint Airo Empire!

The Imperial Knight Commander said angrily: "You...!"

"Whoosh!"

Before he could finish his words, countless swords and spears with sharp edges were aimed at the knights of the empire.

Under the helmets of the black and white cavalrymen were pairs of cold eyes. They scanned the enemy, and the meaning in their eyes was very obvious - "If you say one more word, you will be killed."

The entire cavalry team was condensed with a fierce momentum, which couldn't help but make people feel extremely frightened.

Cold sweat suddenly fell from the forehead of the Imperial Knight Commander, and he did not dare to say any more. The other knights also remained silent.

The whole process was silent.

In this way, the cavalry of the Desinian territory brazenly passed through the empire's blockade against the Kadi tribe.

When the news reached the Empire, Warner was furious.

This is Desinia stepping on the Empire’s face!

But on the other hand, it also made Warner realize the terrifying and irresistible nature of the black and white cavalry of Desinia...

The number of cavalry he sent to block the empire's road to Kadi was not small. On the contrary, if the number was small, how could it deter other small countries and territories.

But only the Desinian territory...

The knights who came to report described the scene at that time - when they faced the cavalry team in the Desinian territory, they were like ants facing beasts, and gravel facing waves…

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the Imperial Knight Commander chose to retreat temporarily and let the black and white cavalry cross the blockade.

He then asked Warner for cavalry support - whether to prevent the return of the black and white cavalry.

Although this was obviously a blatant provocation by Desinia, the other party had already apologized to Warner in advance in the newspaper.

——Xia Zuoyi needs to exchange something for a female black panther from the Kadi tribe.

Because the panther he raised was looking for a mate.

…………

This reason seemed far-fetched, but Warner couldn't find anything to say to refute it, so his chest hurt even more with anger.

The knight who returned to the empire to report said at this time: "Your Majesty, do you want to send more manpower to counterattack and attack?"

"I heard that... the materials delivered to the Kadi tribe from the Desinian territory include new crops currently circulating in their territory, and the yield is extremely amazing..."

"If we don't make a decision now, I'm afraid the blockade of Kadi will not be of much use in the future..."

Ken also looked at Warner: "Brother, I think it's better to ignore the Kadi tribe for now."

"Since so many black and white cavalry teams in the Desinian territory are all going to Kadi to deliver supplies, then the cavalry guarding the territory..."

The quantity must not be large!

Thinking of this, Ken's spirit was shaken.

He said: "Brother, this is a good opportunity! We can take the opportunity to attack the Desinian territory!"

Warner naturally thought of this too.

He was happy at first, but then frowned and said: "No, have you forgotten that the Desinia Territory is in an alliance with the Achiayoli Territory and the Anas Kingdom?"

If the Desinian territory is in trouble, these two places will definitely come to support.

What's more, there is also the King of Powell who has a relatively good relationship with Desinia.

He cannot act rashly.

Thinking about it this way, the empire is now in an isolated and helpless situation...

He stood up and walked back and forth several times with a thoughtful expression, and finally said to Ken: "Take your people and go to the Kingdom of Biya yourself."

"I want to make a deal with Asa Derek, the king of Biya, in exchange for the territory close to Biya. He needs to help the empire delay the support of the Achiayoli territory and the Anas Kingdom."

The Desinian territory can no longer be allowed to grow stronger.

He had to do it as soon as possible.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ken led his people to leave the empire and go to Biya.

Afterwards, news of the deal he had reached with King Biya spread back to the empire - Asa Derek promised to help delay possible support from the two alliance lands of Achiayoli Territory and Anas Kingdom.

As a result, Warner immediately launched an attack on the Desinian territory.

Numerous cavalry teams of the Saint Airo Empire approached the Desinian territory on the Abutin River and on land.

However, reality soon dealt Warner a fatal blow.

On the Abutin River, ships belonging to the Desinian territory were equipped with strange fire-breathing beast heads. The mouths of the beast heads protruding from the hull could spit out flames several meters long, successfully blocking the empire's fleet.

Not only that, at the end of the battle, about a dozen unknown objects were thrown near the imperial fleet, and these round and black objects exploded instantly.

"Bang" sound.

Sparks and water splashes began one after another, and then the ship's hull burst, and the number of casualties in the empire continued to increase...

As a last resort, the empire's fleet had to retreat in defeat.

The border between Desinian territory and the Empire.

Ten heavy-duty crossbows were pushed out in succession, and a stream of sharp arrows was shot at the Empire's surging cavalry. Occasionally, trebuchets appeared...

The number of cavalry sent by the empire on land was far twice as many as the number on the river. It could be said that there was almost an endless stream.

The number of cavalry guarding the border of the Desinian territory was indeed much smaller than before.

The collision of numbers and sharp weapons resulted in a stalemate for the time being.

Facing the crossbows thrown by the cavalry in the Desinian territory, the empire's cavalry had come up with effective ways to deal with them.

Even though the Saint Airo Empire had lost strength after a series of natural and man-made disasters, it was once one of the two major empires, and the cavalry had rich experience in fighting the enemy.

The empire slowly began to gain a favorable situation.

The subsequent support from the Achiayoli Territory and the Anas Kingdom was delayed by the sending of troops by the Biya Kingdom... The Desinia Territory seemed to have suddenly fallen into a difficult situation.

Just when the balance of victory seemed to be leaning towards the Saint Airo Empire, the Kingdom of Biya suddenly reneged on its promise and broke the contract.

King Asa Derek of Biya and Prince Cavendish joined forces to attack from the weakest defense point of the empire. Caught off guard, the empire lost two territories one after another.

The Desinian Territory reversed its previous decline and began an unstoppable counterattack.

The Saint Airo Empire suffered successive defeats.

Only then did Warner suddenly realize that all of this was Xia Zuoyi Desinia's plan - he had contacted King Biya without knowing when and had laid a "trap" in advance for him to fall into.

Warner stopped the loss promptly.

He immediately recalled the cavalry resisting on the front line, ordered them to retreat from the lost borders and territories, and fully defended against the attacks of the Desinian cavalry and King Biya and Cavendish.

The empire focused on defense, and for a while, the war situation became stalemate again.
