Chapter 212 Ah Nian, is it raining?
Covered in moonlight and facing the night wind, a black shadow as nimble and silent as a cat, carrying the defense map that exuded a bloody smell, ran wildly on the Star Road, not daring to stop.
Run through the woods and jump on the rocks in the stream.
Momo was just a mink and didn't know what "time" and "day" meant. He had only seen the sun rise in the east and set in the west four or five times before he finally saw the familiar and friendly Lion Flag again.
Under the moonlight, it passed through countless fully armed soldiers sleeping on the ground and entered Zhiluo's tent.
Seeing that Luo was not there, it kicked its hind legs, turned around and rushed towards the commander's tent.
There were people sleeping all over the floor inside and outside the tent.
It stepped on Rong Jiang's armor, jumped over the head of the sleeping Rong Yi, stepped on Hua Jue's face with one claw, swept Ye Yan's nose with its tail, and jumped into Huo Gannian's arms.
It's like I've been waiting, waiting all the time, never daring to relax for a moment——
Huo Gannian suddenly opened his eyes, sat up abruptly, and fixed his sharp gaze on Mo Mo's back.
He ripped off the defense map, almost making Momo fall over.
Spreading out the defense map, the crimson lines were intermittent and of varying shades, but they clearly outlined the distribution of most of the Black Scale Cavalry's camp.
The deepest part of the bloodstain had already coagulated, and tiny blood residues fell off, but they fell into his palm like the heaviest and hottest iron.
He knew that Yun Chen was either captured or injured.
He stuffed the defense map into his chest with trembling hands. His eyes were red as he squeezed out an almost distorted voice from his throat:
"All troops, listen up! Move out immediately!!"
Ye Yan and Hua Jue were the first to jump up from the ground.
Rong Jiang and Rong Yi jumped up in an instant without even having time to open their eyes.
The sound of the army's marching horns resounded through the night sky.
The next moment, the entire camp was filled with the sharp sound of armor rubbing and colliding with swords, which surged up from all directions like cold waves from a cold sea, making people's scalps numb.
Because Momo was missing, Zhiluo returned to the tent after searching for him in vain for several days.
The camp, which had been quiet at night, was now bustling with people.
The soldiers strode forward, and in the blink of an eye they were in formation. Their iron horses galloped like waves, and rushed towards the Black Scale Cavalry's camp like an earthquake.
Zhi Luo felt his whole body go numb, and hot blood rushed to his heart.
She set her eyes on Huo Gannian, who was riding in the front, but she could not see his expression, only his back.
The figure was tall and broad, with a majestic armor. The long sword in his hand was unsheathed impatiently, and the cold sword tip was raised high to point at the moon.
The sword blade contained the wise decision-making of the mighty General Lion, as well as the impulsive madness of being anxious for one person.
Ever since Yun Chen left alone, every day and every night, everyone has been waiting in full armor.
In the past two days, we have reached the point where we can sleep on the floor and set off at any time.
It’s all for Yun Chen...
In an instant, my blood cooled and an unprecedented feeling of sourness came over me.
Zhi Luo took deep breaths repeatedly, adjusting her mood, trying to drive away the sudden and terrible emotion that caught her off guard.
…
…
On the other side, in the Black Scale Cavalry camp, Yun Chen remained drowsy for another seven or eight days after Mo Mo left, until he let out a shrill cry:
"Brother Yun!"
Once again pulled Yun Chen back from the dream where he was on the verge of death.
She woke up from a deep and sticky nightmare, and found that flames were shooting up into the sky and black shadows were dancing in front of her. Her ears were filled with the sounds of fierce swords and the neighing of war horses.
She was stunned for a long while before she realized that it must be the Lion Army that had invaded the Black Scale Cavalry camp.
She wanted to get up and call for help, but unfortunately she didn't even have the strength to move a finger. She could only watch as two black-scaled cavalrymen rushed over, opened the cage, dragged her out of the cage like a dead dog, threw her on the back of the horse, and galloped in the opposite direction of the Lion Army.
For more than ten days, Yun Chen had only drunk a few sips of the snowball water that Mo Mo secretly gave her, eaten a few mouthfuls of soil, and half a piece of leftover bread thrown in by Jiao Zuotai. Her whole body was limp as mud, and she had no strength to resist. She could only let the two black-scale cavalrymen take her farther and farther away.
Soon, she heard Hua Jue's voice catching up, and he kept shouting "Achen!" as he rushed and killed.
She slumped down on the horse's back, with no strength to respond.
Seeing this, Hua Jue became even more anxious and rode his horse harder to catch up, not caring at all that he was already deeply surrounded by the enemy.
Unfortunately, the horses of the Lion Power Army were not as fast as the warhorses of the Black Scale Cavalry. Hua Jue was quickly left behind. Just as he fell behind, Ye Yan took over and rushed up, but was immediately surrounded by the Black Scale Cavalry as dense as locusts. He fought hard and could not move forward.
Ye Yan simply shouted loudly, rushed forward and threw several Black Scale Cavalrymen off their horses, smashing a gap in the way.
Rong Yi then jumped out of the gap on his horse, fighting hard, shouting and cursing as he rushed towards Yun Chen.
From a distance, Rong Yi reached out to Yun Chen.
The horses were getting closer and closer, and just as Rong Yi was about to touch the corner of Yun Chen's clothes, several black-scaled cavalrymen suddenly appeared and threw out a lasso with great force.
Before Rong Yi could even curse "Fuck you", he fell to the ground with a thud.
Yun Chen watched Rong Yi fall with blood all over his face as a dozen Black Scale Cavalrymen rushed up and surrounded him.
Looking around, Hua Jue, Ye Yan, and Luo Dongdong who spoke in dialect... everyone was rushing towards her, and everyone was engaged in a bitter battle with the Black Scale Cavalry.
She wanted to shout, "Stop chasing! It's too dangerous to go deep into the enemy's territory!" But she didn't have the strength to shout.
Unable to bear watching her brothers fight for her, she closed her eyes and lowered her head, but with the last of her peripheral vision she caught a glimpse of a tall and broad figure leaping towards her, atop thousands of layers of black-scaled armor.
She closed her eyes tightly and dared not look, but the morning sun cast a dazzling brilliance on the horizon, penetrating her eyelids, as if it was determined to let her see how desperate the man was.
Huo Gannian raised his sword and spurred his horse, slashing and killing without stopping. His armor was stained with blood, and he had more than a dozen wounds on his body.
His helmet had been knocked off in the melee, revealing his somewhat messy hair.
One man, one horse, one sword, one kill. He knew that he was being led deep into the main force of the Black Scale Cavalry, but his phoenix eyes did not show any fear or retreat. They were still as bright as stars and moons, sharp and fearless.
Amid the violent shaking of the warhorse, Yun Chen felt a sharp blade sticking to her face and piercing the body of the black-scale cavalryman beside her.
The black-scaled cavalryman fell off his horse, and Yun Chen also slid down weakly, falling into that extremely strong and warm embrace.
I don't know what I'm afraid of.
Perhaps fearing that this was just a dream or hallucination, Yun Chen hesitated to open his eyes.
She felt tiny drops of water falling on her face and couldn't help but ask softly:
"Ah Nian, is it raining?"
Huo Gannian buried his head beside her face, his breathing trembling and his nasal voice heavy:
"Well, just close your eyes and don't look. The rain will stop soon."
