Just when Victor was hesitating to turn, the body in the distance that he thought was a herdsman actually glowed red.
A huge fireball appeared out of thin air and shot toward him.
"It's a magician, be careful to avoid it." Victor shouted, and the Thunder Cavalry instantly dodged to both sides.
The fireball passed them by and shot toward the Frost Wolf Rider behind them.
"Boom...!" There was a loud noise, and two frost wolves were unable to dodge and were blown up by the fireball, including both the man and the wolf.
"Captain, it seems he is the magician who is supporting us." Upon seeing this, the Thunder Cavalry shouted.
Victor also reacted, flicked the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Everyone is here, charge with me, Thunder Army, kill..."
After saying that, Victor turned the horse's head directly, raised his sword high, and took the lead to fight back.
Locke stopped, waved the staff in his hand, and muttered: "Great God of Fire, please rain down fire, let me burn away the sins in the world, and let the bolide fall."
Bolide Fall is the most powerful fire magic that Locke can currently unleash.
As the spell was released, a fire cloud gathered above the Frost Wolf Rider's head, and balls of flames fell suddenly.
The Frost Wolf Cavalry was disrupted by the sudden attack. Many of the cavalry were hit by the flames and fell off their mounts, rolling on the ground covered in fire.
Soon, the bolide stopped falling, and the Thunder Cavalry had also arrived. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Frost Wolf Cavalry, they launched a charge. After several trips back and forth, more than half of the Frost Wolf Cavalry had been lost.
Seeing that the situation was over, the remaining people quickly turned around and fled on the wolf cavalry.
"Don't chase after poor people..." Victor shouted, killing a fallen Beijun cavalryman with one sword.
The rest of the Thunder Cavalry stopped their pursuit in an orderly manner and turned back to clean up the battlefield. They would give any North County cavalry who was not dead dead a heavy blow with their swords.
The injured Frost Wolf saw his master being killed and wanted to get up excitedly, but what greeted him was several long swords piercing his body.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Victor led the cavalry towards Locke.
When they came closer, all the knights dismounted, clenched their right hands on their left chests, and bowed deeply to Locke.
"Dear Magician, thank you for your rescue. I salute you on behalf of the 53rd Thunder Cavalry Unit." Victor said respectfully.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Locke took back his staff and said to everyone with a smile.
"I wonder where you are going next?" Victor asked, standing up straight.
"I originally wanted to go to Thunder Fortress." Locke did not tell these people his identity. He had grown up and there were some things that there was no need to say.
"We just finished our mission and are returning to the fortress. If you don't mind, we are willing to lead the way for you." Victor performed another knight's salute and then the celebrity brought a horse.
The owner of this horse had unfortunately died just now, and the horse was covered in the blood of the original owner.
Locke didn't hesitate and got on his horse.
Victor gave an order, and the cavalrymen rushed south with Locke in the middle.
Waikiki Mountain is the vastest mountain range in the northern part of Zhongdu. It is a natural barrier. The continuous mountains separate the border between Zhongdu and Beijun.
The Thunder Fortress is a behemoth built at the Waiki Pass. With Waiki Mountain as its back, it occupies the most favorable terrain from top to bottom.
At the top of the fortress, a large musket flag fluttered in the wind, swearing its supreme status.
The entire fortress is built of dark masonry. Each brick is specially fired and is strong and reliable. In addition to being able to resist physical damage, it also has a certain anti-magic effect.
In front of the fortress is a wide chasm with sharpened wooden stakes erected in the ditch. The wooden stakes are covered with brown dried blood. This gap blocks the North County people's ambition to go south.
As Team 53 approached, a row of soldiers appeared on the city wall, their bows and arrows glowing with cold light, and their ballistae pointed at everyone.
"Please stop below the city. We welcome your triumphant return. Please report your organization and tasks. Thank you for your cooperation.
. "Someone shouted loudly on the city wall.
"The 53rd Squadron of the Second Battalion of the Thunder Cavalry. I am the captain Victor. The mission this time is to sneak attack the grain transport team on the east side of Beijunguo. The mission has been completed." Victor replied loudly.
"Please wait!"
About ten minutes later, a mechanical sound came, and two thick iron chains slowly lowered the suspension bridge under the pull of the clockwork.
"Welcome back, may the musket emblem always guide you." The ballista turned its direction, and the soldiers on the city wall beat their chests and said.
After crossing the suspension bridge, the group walked into the fortress. Looking at the familiar place, Locke's breathing was a little short.
"Mr. Magician, I wonder where you are going next?" Victor turned his head and asked respectfully.
"I'll just walk around without you having to worry about it." Locke turned over and dismounted and said to Victor.
Victor nodded, then said a few polite words and led the team towards the barracks.
Walking on the stone street, Locke's mood improved slightly. He finally went home and finally no longer had to run for his life.
Walking towards the General's Mansion, he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the busy stalls on both sides of the street. There were two worlds outside the city and inside the city. Isn't it this tranquility that the Thunder Army fought so hard to protect?
"Get out of my way..." An angry curse disrupted Locke's thoughts.
Locke heard the sound and looked around, only to see a soldier in civilian clothes pulling an old woman.
He frowned and walked past with the crowd.
"I work my ass off outside every day. Why don't you ask me for money to eat your fruit? If I don't beat you today, you'll be bedridden." As he said that, the soldier raised his hand and hit the old woman.
Locke's fighting spirit aroused, he crossed the crowd with an arrow, and caught the old woman before his fist landed on her.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then looked at Locke. Seeing that he was just a young boy, he yelled, "Boy, stop meddling in other people's business, or I'll beat you up too today."
"Pop..." There was a crisp sound.
The soldier covered his face in disbelief. He never expected that someone in this fortress would dare to openly hit him.
"You're looking for death!" The soldier twitched his arm hard, but Locke's hand was like a poker. He couldn't pull his hand back even though his face turned red.
The other soldiers watching the excitement also saw something was wrong at this time, and quickly put away their smiles and walked over.
"How come there is a scum like you in the Thunder Army? Who gave you the courage to bully the people?" Locke glanced at the soldiers who came forward, and then shouted to the previous soldiers.
"My friend, this is all a misunderstanding. We were joking with this lady." The soldiers who came around patted Locke on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Locke looked at the person who came and saw two flame patterns on his civilian clothes. He knew that he was a captain, the same level as Victor.
"Are you kidding? If I hadn't stopped her, that punch would have killed her half." Locke said in a cold tone.
