"How is the battle going?" Prince Xiao Zhan of the Northern Border asked in a deep voice, holding his silver spear.

A cavalryman beside him, his eyes unusually bright, was using his special ability to constantly observe the distance and immediately responded:

"The Central Plains defense line is about to collapse! Those damned Japanese tribes have launched a sneak attack from the rear!" The cavalryman asked hesitantly, "Your Highness... are we really going to stand by and watch?"

Xiao Zhan frowned. Although there were constant conflicts with Zhou Zhenbei, the people of the Northern Territory and the Japanese were sworn enemies!

Personal grudges are one thing, but resisting foreign enemies is another. The northern border and the Japanese are sworn enemies!

Faced with the ninja alliance's surprise attack, the people of the North would surely suffer, and they certainly couldn't stand idly by.

However, at such a crucial moment, General Zhou Zhenbei, the commander-in-chief of the northern defense line, was completely absent and did not participate at all.

Even more coincidentally, the Allied Shinobi Forces found a gap in the Central Plains defense line, which was clearly unusual.

Everything was highly suspicious, and Xiao Zhan vaguely sensed that Zhou Zhenbei seemed to be involved.

He originally wanted to continue observing to see when Zhou Zhenbei would come to his aid, but seeing that the defense line was about to collapse and there was still no movement, he was afraid that Zhou Zhenbei would not come back.

Since Zhou Zhenbei isn't coming, then the Northern Heir will be in charge of guarding the northern defense line of Zhongzhou!

"Reorganize the troops," Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice.

"Prepare to charge! Slaughter the Japanese!"

"Yes, sir!" The cavalryman beside him immediately accepted the order with excitement.

The black-armored cavalry instantly formed ranks, their spears like a forest, awaiting orders.

"charge--!"

With a deep shout, Xiao Zhan pointed his silver spear directly at the Central Plains defense line. The spear tip drew a cold light in the gloomy rain, as if a dragon's roar was heard.

His snow-white horse, Treading Black Steed, reared up and let out a neigh that shook the wilderness, then shot off like an arrow.

"kill--!"

Behind them, the black-armored cavalry roared in unison, their spears pointing diagonally forward, and their warhorses charged out simultaneously, converging into a thunderous torrent.

The iron cavalry formed a black wave and surged toward the Central Plains defense line.

At this moment, the Allied Ninja forces had just torn a gap in the Central Plains defense line, unleashing a barrage of ninjutsu and excitedly reaping the lives of the defending troops.

The defenses of Zhongzhou were already in chaos, and were on the verge of collapse.

"Huh?" A ninja who was about to throw a shuriken suddenly stopped, and he was the first to notice the abnormality, looking into the distance in confusion:

What was that sound?

Before the words were even finished, the tremors on the ground became increasingly noticeable.

The rumbling sounds gradually grew clearer.

The ground trembled slightly, and even the rubble on the defensive line seemed to bounce.

Everyone fighting on the Zhongzhou defense line stopped and looked up.

In the distance, a black torrent rushed in with overwhelming force, the rain kicked up by the horses' hooves turning into mist, like divine soldiers treading on the fog.

"Those are... cavalry?!" A ninja's eyes widened, his voice filled with disbelief. "How can there be cavalry here?"

"Could it be reinforcements from Zhongzhou?"

However, the soldiers on the Central Plains defense line recognized the newcomers at a glance and excitedly shouted:

"It's the Black-Armored Cavalry! The Northern Prince's reinforcements have arrived!"

"Hang in there, brothers!"

The morale of the soldiers from Zhongzhou on the defensive line soared, and they did their best to hold back the ninja's attack.

The surrounding ninjas exclaimed in shock, "The Black-Armored Cavalry of the North!"

Clearly, they had long heard of the formidable strength of this Northern cavalry.

Before the ninjas could even panic, the black-armored cavalry had closed to within a hundred meters, charging at lightning speed!

Xiao Zhan took the lead, sweeping his silver spear and sending two ninjas who couldn't dodge in time flying, their bodies crashing heavily to the ground.

The iron cavalry followed closely behind, piercing with spears and slashing with longswords. The black-armored warhorses even charged directly into the dense ninja formation. Wherever their hooves trampled, screams and the sound of bones shattering filled the air, instantly tearing apart the ninja ranks.

"Commander-in-Chief!" Matsuyama stepped forward again, his tone urgent: "Let's launch a full-scale attack!"

It was understandable that we didn't launch a full-scale offensive earlier, but now the time is just right.

At this moment, a general offensive will not only take over the Central Plains defense line in one fell swoop, but also wipe out the Northern Iron Cavalry to eliminate future troubles!

"Captain!" Matsuyama exclaimed urgently.

"What's the rush!" A cold shout suddenly rang out, and Yamada, the captain of the Allied Shinobi Forces, directly interrupted Matsuyama's attempt to urge him on.

"It's not the right time yet..."

Seeing the prince of the Northern Territory arrive to provide reinforcements, Yamada showed no panic whatsoever; instead, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

“Xiao Zhan…” Yamada slowly uttered the name, a knowing glint in his eyes.

"The Black Armored Cavalry has a prestigious reputation. Since I dared to launch a surprise attack on the Central Plains defense line, how could I not have anticipated this move?"

The name of the Crown Prince of the Northern Border is renowned. The Wa people have been preparing for their migration here for many years, so how could they not know him? Moreover, he has already formulated a response strategy against the Northern Iron Cavalry, ensuring that they will not return alive!

Yamada simply smiled, as if everything was going according to plan, and confidently waved his hand, giving the order:

"Hold your positions and do nothing!"

On the defensive line, although the charge of the Black Armored Cavalry broke up the Ninja Alliance's attack, it was also forcibly dispersed by the ninjas, who deliberately guided it and scattered it, making it difficult to stop the second charge.

"Kill the leader!" one of the ninjas shouted viciously, pointing at Xiao Zhan who seemed to be moving through an empty room.

In an instant, all the ninjas around rushed over.

"Good timing!"

Suddenly, the spear in Xiao Zhan's hand blossomed, and the silver spear seemed to come alive in his palm, its tip gleaming coldly.
