"The spirit of Enzos has arrived!!"
Help us! Help us!
As evening fell, Phil and Halson, leading their light cavalry toward Pariston, encountered a large number of fleeing residents on the road. Seeing their urgent cries, Phil and Halson exchanged a glance, both feeling anxious and angry, yet also harboring a hint of doubt.
The scene before them was quite unexpected. The communications officer had previously said that the Yan Kingdom had sent cavalry down the mountain first, so Pariston, which was less than five kilometers from the foot of the mountain, would inevitably fall soon. There were not many troops stationed there, and they were completely unable to stop the attack. Therefore, even if the residents of Pariston evacuated, the Yan Kingdom would catch up with them in a very short time.
No matter how many Yan Kingdom cavalrymen there are, they are basically an overwhelming force against unarmed civilians. But now it is already evening, and these residents have actually fled here, which is quite mysterious.
In fact, on their way here, Phil and Harrison had already prepared for the massacre of the residents of Pariston. The Yan people, who were swift in battle and had outstanding combat power, had demonstrated their formidable fighting strength in every previous battle. Only regular armies could contend with them, while civilians could only wait to be killed.
Despite still harboring doubts, Phil immediately dispatched his cavalry to appease the refugees and gather more information about the Yan people.
Despite the shouts of the large number of cavalrymen, the refugees' panic did not subside, and everyone's face still showed extreme fear.
Among the crowd, a Pariston official named "Ladi" was quickly picked out by the cavalry and brought before Phili.
"What's the situation at Pariston now?" Halson, mounted on his horse, asked first.
Rady, a man in his fifties, was exhausted from the long escape and his legs were trembling. He was still panting heavily. When questioned by Halson, he said with lingering fear:
"Sir...our town has been taken over by those undead, they...they..."
Before he could finish speaking, the impatient Halson angrily interrupted, "What nonsense are you spouting?! What undead! Aren't you from Yan Kingdom?!"
Phil, who was standing to the side, turned and glanced at Halson, then dismounted and walked over to Rady, offering words of comfort:
"With us here, there's nothing to be afraid of. Explain your situation clearly: what's the current situation in Pariston? Where are the Yan people?"
“Yan….Yan people….No…no.” Rady’s eyes were filled with fear, and he still stammered. In fact, this morning, when he learned that the soldiers from the post station had rushed to Pariston to tell the residents to evacuate immediately, he was still skeptical.
Because of the collapse a few days ago, even though he was in Pariston, he could vaguely feel the ground shaking. He then learned that the Imperial army had created an explosion on the highest peak of Enzos, completely destroying the pass and the road below. Under such circumstances, clearing the mountain road would undoubtedly be a huge project.
So how could the Yan Kingdom army, which should have been completely wiped out or mostly buried, possibly emerge from Enzos in just a few days? Ladi had lived in Pariston for decades and knew Enzos very well. Therefore, he was convinced that no one could have emerged from the collapse in such a short time, let alone a large number of cavalry.
Therefore, he even thought that the news from the post station soldiers that "a large number of Yan Kingdom cavalry are heading down the mountain towards Pariston" was a misreport by the soldiers.
While the townspeople were hastily evacuating, Ladi remained. He refused to believe that a large number of cavalry would emerge from the mountains. Ignoring the soldiers' attempts to stop him, he rode his donkey out of Pariston to verify the news. However, less than two kilometers from the town, after crossing a sloping hill, he was met with a black torrent of horses.
They came rushing along the mountain path that stretched out from the mountains, a dense mass of them. Although they were still far away, Ladi was so frightened by the sight that he immediately turned around, grabbed his donkey, and fled for his life.
Even now, he still can't be sure that what he saw back then was the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom.
“Sir, that’s…that’s the undead legion. The Yan people couldn’t…couldn’t have come out of the mountains…they’re already dead…” Rady, his face ashen, stubbornly insisted.
Just as Phil was about to speak, Harrison spurred his horse forward two steps, the massive head nearly knocking Raddy to the ground, followed by a reprimanding voice:
"If it really is an undead army, we can send them back to hell as soon as we arrive!"
"Hmph, country bumpkins have never seen anything like this before. They'd better run for their lives!"
"roll!"
Upon hearing this, Ladi felt a great sense of relief and hurriedly said, "Yes...yes, sir." As he spoke, he quickly pulled the donkey and followed the other refugees, rushing away through the road cleared by the army.
Phil shook his head in frustration, but several soldiers hurriedly approached him.
"Sir, we just asked a few people, and they all said that a large number of... no, Yan Kingdom cavalrymen rushed out of Enzos."
"They headed straight for Pariston, but some people said that the Yan Kingdom cavalry did not directly storm into the town, nor did they pursue them while they were fleeing, which is why they were able to escape here successfully."
"Besides the refugees we have now, many others have escaped via other routes. As for whether the Yan people have pursued them along other routes, we do not know at the moment."
