Soul echo

Chapter 239 The Valley

In the early morning, when the sky was still gloomy, Zhong Ye brought 'Lilian' to the door of the church.

A group of heavily armed knights had gathered on the square in front of the church, and Zhong Ye could tell at a glance how powerful they were—these knights were probably the elite force of the 'Church of the God of the City'.

The Church of the City-State God does not have a named battle group, and these knights may be the most high-end power of the church.

The leader of the knights was an extraordinary person. When Zhong Ye and the others arrived, he was ordering a group of knights to check their weapons and equipment.

"My lord, the Knights of the Iron Wall are ready."

The old man who met Zhong Ye last night was the bishop of the Limas Diocese of the Church of the God of the City. After a busy night, the old man's face was already heavy with fatigue, and his eyelids and wrinkles were drooping.

The old man nodded slightly, then turned to look at Zhong Ye, "This... sir, please lead the way, the lord's army is already waiting outside the city."

Only then did he remember that he still didn't know the name of this adventurer.

Zhong Ye nodded, pulled the reins of the horse, and let the horse carrying 'Lilian' start to run after him.

His actions made the knights look at him a few more times, and they looked away after the commander gave the order to 'get on the horse'.

There were 31 knights in the Iron Wall Knights, plus Zhong Ye's draft horse, a total of [-] horses galloped in the streets. The rumbling sound was like thunder, awakening countless people from their sleep.

"War?!"

This is the sentence that people say the most after they are awakened.

But when they listened hard, they found that the sound of horseshoes and vibrations like thunder were fading away.

Outside the city, a group of soldiers who were staggering to and fro in a loose formation also heard the sound of horseshoes, their drowsiness was immediately dispelled, and they all turned their heads to look at the city gate.

The leader, Zhong Ye, was the first to appear in front of them. They couldn't help being dumbfounded when they saw the man who led a cavalry team with only his legs.

Zhong Ye didn't stop, but turned his head and shouted at the group of soldiers: "Follow!"

He led the knights and ran past the soldiers, and the group of soldiers woke up like a dream, looking at each other, looking at each other.

The knight commanding these soldiers couldn't help but groaned, but he still swung his whip, whipped the air, and shouted: "Follow! Follow me!"

The soldiers hesitated for a while, and then they opened their legs and ran to keep up.

Considering that the guardian knights were fully armed, too fast speed would cause the horses they rode to consume a lot of energy while driving, so Zhong Ye did not run too fast. The soldiers just trotted and accelerated for a certain distance before catching up with the team .

But even this section of the road made the soldiers gasp for breath.

Thirty fully armed knights, plus fifty lord's personal soldiers, can already fight a small-scale war. With such strength, it should not be a problem to spy on the secrets of that valley.

It took three hours for Zhong Ye to lead the team to the village that they passed by yesterday.

After running for three hours, his breathing rhythm didn't change much, which shocked people who had a certain contempt for him before, and then felt admiration in their hearts.

——This is a strong man!
Coming here, it is not far from that valley.

Zhong Ye slowed down in time to let the horses of the Iron Wall Knights and the lord's private soldiers recover their strength, because he didn't know if there would be a fierce battle next.

At this time, Lilian was already online.

But when she just went online, she found that the atmosphere was not right, and she was still sitting on the horseback, so she didn't ask Zhong Ye, and looked through the trusteeship log by herself.

After just a few glances at the hosting log, Lilian couldn't help but fell into shock.

It's only one night!
It only took Zhong Ye one night, or a few hours, to gather an army and go to that valley with him to find out.

And according to his conversation with the bishop, he never revealed his identity!

……how did you do that?
Looking at Zhong Ye's generous back, Lilian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Zhong Ye led the team straight into the forest, and before stepping into the forest, he reminded: "Be careful of the top of your head."

Before Zhong Ye reminded, the soldiers didn't feel scared yet, but his reminder made them notice the shining icicle above their heads, and they felt fear in their hearts.

The knight sent by the lord to act as an officer couldn't help but look up again and again. Even though he was wearing a steel helmet, he still felt scared when he looked at the icicles.

Even he is like this, let alone those soldiers - it can be said that 'two forces are fighting, and almost want to go first'.

The knight commander of the Iron Wall Knights noticed this, and gestured to his knights, who adjusted their positions and squeezed into the middle of the soldiers.

"Don't worry, we are here to protect you!" More than one knight calmed down the restless mood of the soldiers.

Regarding this, the soldiers were also skeptical. Looking at the shield hanging on the side of the horse, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts.

If you really want to protect them, can't you just give them the shield?Let them put shields on their heads, it's better than nothing, right?

It wasn't until the incident that the ice fell and almost hit a soldier's head, but was smashed by the knight beside him in time, did the soldiers stop their internal slander.

After going deep into the mountain forest, the terrain gradually became steeper, which was no longer suitable for riding on horseback, and the knights had to dismount and walk.

The cold wind travels through the mountains and forests, these wandering airs happily run past the soldiers, and enthusiastically give them the only things they have, but unfortunately, they only have 'cold'.

The soldiers couldn't help shivering. The stingy lord didn't set them too high a salary, so their clothes weren't thick enough.

More than one person sneezed. Hearing these sounds, the knights frowned.

"Be careful, it smells bloody."

A faint voice suddenly came from the front of the team, interrupting the whispers and making everyone nervous.

After another tens of meters, people saw a few variegated colors in the snow-white forest.

"Lynx!" Someone exclaimed.

In the distance, a few smears of blood smeared in the woodland, and several lynxes were squatting next to the corpses of the goblins, nibbling on their corpses.

Those lynx are big and small, they look like a family.

"I'll go and have a look." After saying a word, Zhong Ye quickened his pace and walked towards the lynxes.

After hearing that exclamation, a big lynx stopped eating and looked up at them vigilantly. When Zhong Ye approached, it even stood up, bared its teeth, and let out a threatening roar.

The other lynxes also stopped, staring blankly at Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye walked straight over, and when he crossed the lynx's 'warning line', the big lynx backed up while shouting.

Its child also understood something at this time, and retreated.

Seeing that Zhong Ye was still approaching, the big lynx turned around and called out: "Oh!"

The little lynxes turned their heads and ran to the depths of the forest. After a while, the big lynxes also turned their heads and ran away.

Zhong Ye stood beside the goblin's corpse, letting the others follow, then bent down and picked up a handful of weapons used by the goblins.

I didn't pay much attention at night, but now I realize that these swords are shining coldly, and I know they are good weapons at first glance.

It's just that these weapons are not specially made for goblins to use. When he holds them, they are too short, but in the hands of goblins, these weapons are too long-this is the only consolation.

The team came over, the knights didn't bother to pick up the goblin's weapon, but the soldiers saw the sharp sword that Zhong Ye picked up from a distance just now.

Not only did they pick up the weapons, but they also stripped off the leather armor of the goblins and put them on themselves.

In order to compete for these things, the soldiers almost fought. If the knights of the Iron Wall Knights hadn't stopped them in time, the team might have suffered casualties before the battle even started.

After walking for more than an hour, Zhong Ye finally led the team to the valley.

Until then, those secret whistles were still hidden in the dark!
