Looking up, there was another person riding on the horse's back.
The newcomer was tall and imposing, his armor gleaming in the sunlight.
In that instant, the girl thought of the phrase "heavenly soldiers and generals".
If they weren't celestial soldiers and generals, how could they be worthy of riding this heavenly horse?
Then, more horses came, not many, but they had a different kind of imposing presence.
This was the girl's first feeling, but she was a little confused. There were clearly more soldiers passing by on this road before, but she didn't have this feeling then.
Why is that? Did the BMW change its mind, or...?
It was the flag flying high among the herd of horses.
The banner fluttered in the wind, with a bold and colorful character "焱" (yan) in the very center.
The girl didn't recognize the character "焱" (yàn); she only knew the character "火" (huǒ), but the three fires forming the character seemed to carry a stronger aura from the very beginning.
After all, the character "焱" at this moment, under the blazing sun and strong wind, is just like a burning flame.
In just a moment, the red horse had arrived in front of them.
"Did you escape from Linbin City?" the general asked in a deep voice, pulling his horse to a halt.
"Yes, General, the Japanese are attacking the city. Some reinforcements have already been sent, but they arrived not long ago. However, the Japanese are coming on strong, and it will probably be a tough battle."
"General, which city are you from? This banner... I've never seen it before..." the woman asked cautiously.
"This is the national flag, the flag of the Great Yan! The Great Yan has already changed dynasties, and we have come from Jinling."
The woman was taken aback, but before she could ask another question, more words came:
"Rest here for a while, don't go too far."
"You can return to Linbin City before dark, and I'll make sure you're safe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rode away. The woman was still somewhat dazed, but she didn't forget to lead her daughter to the side of the road.
Soon, the group that had arrived sped away like a whirlwind, raising a cloud of dust.
As they walked further and further away, gradually disappearing from sight, the woman still did not look away, until her daughter's voice rang out:
"Mother, shall we go home before dark?"
The woman finally came to her senses, a complex expression on her face, and gave a bitter smile:
"Has Da Gan already become the Yan Kingdom? How long ago was that? I haven't heard any news about it."
"Such a small number of people... they don't really look like the royal army. I wonder if what they're saying is true or false..."
"But in the end, these righteous people came for us, and I hope they are safe and sound."
The woman sighed softly, took her daughter's hand, and chose to continue fleeing for her life.
The girl nodded and followed her mother forward. After walking a dozen steps, she turned her head and stared blankly into the distance, even though there was no one there anymore.
The next moment, she closed her eyes, as if she were listening quietly to something.
"How strange, the sound of horses' hooves is getting louder and louder..." She opened her eyes, tilted her head, and was filled with doubt.
"What's wrong?" the woman asked.
"Mother, I can hear the sound of horses' hooves getting louder and louder, can you hear it?" The girl frowned.
The woman didn't have the ability to listen to a horse's hooves, and besides, she wasn't in the mood to think about it at the moment, so she simply shook her head and rejected her daughter's suggestion.
"With only so many people passing by, and only one road, how could the sound of horses' hooves possibly increase? Are horses going to suddenly appear out of nowhere?"
"Girl, you're hallucinating. Listen to me, let's go first."
"Oh." The girl frowned and followed.
After walking a few dozen more steps, she looked up at her mother and said, "Mother, something's not right. There are more and more horses' hooves. So many of them."
"If you don't want to walk, just say you don't want to walk. If you're tired, I'll carry you. You can't make up stories." The woman frowned, somewhat displeased.
She lifted the package on her shoulder and stretched out her arms to pick up her daughter.
"call--"
The wind howled, and dust swirled up into the air. The intense sunlight spilled across the ground, casting dappled shadows under the trees lining the road.
The woman's outstretched hand froze in place.
"Clatter".
"Pat-pat-pat".
The sound of thundering hooves came from afar, growing louder and louder, and she heard it too.
This commotion could not have been caused by just a few people.
The woman's body stiffened, and she even suspected that she was hallucinating.
She slowed her breathing and listened intently, while the girl beside her stood motionless.
The sound of hooves fell like raindrops, followed by a hum, and then gradually faded into the distance.
It was like a summer thunderstorm, powerful and sudden, arriving and departing just as quickly.
This is definitely not a hallucination!
The woman looked surprised, immediately stood up, looked behind her, and muttered to herself:
"On this one road, I saw them pass by not long ago, and there was no one else around."
"How could this be...? How could this happen...? Are these extra sounds also soldiers?"
The girl beside her looked up at the sky, placing her hand on her eyebrows to shield her eyes from the dazzling sunlight.
"Did it fall from the sky?" she murmured.
——
In the distance, unlike before, the number of soldiers accompanying Qin Ze has increased significantly.
Of course, with this newly formed army, Qin Ze naturally spent an astonishing number of points to upgrade the three-star shop to a four-star shop.
To use this army, you must unlock a higher level of the shop.
After all, it needs to be equipped with powerful firepower so that it can unleash its full firepower and annihilate the Japanese pirates!
