When I set foot on this land of heroes, I suddenly felt that the sky was so blue, the trees were so green, the words were so beautiful, and the air was so fresh…
I really want to praise it, this is my territory, my pride!
Infected by my happy mood, I allowed my mount to gallop. The psychic horse seemed to have sensed its master's happiness. After a long neigh, it suddenly charged forward, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Behind me, only Jing was able to keep up with my figure (she was an energy body and had no weight. Without this nearly 100 jin burden, even an ordinary horse could keep up). We walked further and further away, and the anxious knights behind could only desperately chase after me.
Finally, when the thin air of the plateau made me feel a little uncomfortable, I stopped moving forward. I looked at the merchant group that was slowly moving forward in the distance and listened to the wind that was unique to the Dragon Plateau. I couldn't help but immerse myself in this comfortable feeling.
However, my good mood didn't last long. The merchant group in my eyes suddenly became so flustered. The group that had been advancing in an orderly manner formed a small circle in a very short period of time. When they jumped down from their horses, they were in a hurry to find something.
I finally realized that something was wrong. I lifted the rope in my hand and rushed towards the merchant group with Jing, wanting to investigate.
I didn't expect that even though it seemed like a short distance on the empty plateau, it wasn't as easy to walk as I had imagined. When I was still quite a distance away from the caravan, I saw a sandstorm caused by a large number of horses galloping.
I remember that my subordinate knights once told me that there was a disgraceful profession in many places of the continent, and that was the horse bandits. They came and went like the wind and made a living by robbing passing merchant groups.
Facing such a situation, I couldn't help but think that it was the actions of the Horse Gang. The corners of my mouth curled up into an imperceptible sneer. Perhaps I would take them as my first lesson in cultivation!
I increased my speed, but when I arrived, the scene that greeted my eyes caused my anger to erupt uncontrollably.
I couldn't find a better word to describe the scene before me than " tragic ". The ground in my sight was almost stained with blood, and there were seventy to eighty cold corpses scattered around. From the surrounding scene, it was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place.
What made me angry was not the corpses everywhere. In the battle at Ao Long Castle, I had seen many more corpses than this. What made me angry was not the blood on the ground. I had once stepped on the land that was completely dyed red by blood.
In my impression, the Beastmen had always been synonymous with brutality. However, even soldiers who died at the hands of the Beastmen would still be able to regain the dignity of a warrior, and all of the corpses here that had lost their lives were, without exception, mutilated corpses.
Corpses might not be a good description of what I saw, but perhaps pieces of meat would be a better description of what I saw lying on the ground. Their hands and feet had left their original places and were scattered around, while their heads were nowhere to be seen.
Judging from the clothes on their bodies, there were old people, women, and even children among them. However, they had been chatting and laughing just a moment ago, but now they had become so cold.
I clenched my fists and allowed my nails to prick my palms. I used this method to suppress the pain in my heart.
After seeing so many brave warriors who were willing to die, I had never thought that there would be such despicable humans and horse bandits who were even more brutal than the beast race.
This was a brutal slaughter, and it was the first time I had stepped into my own territory. I couldn't tolerate it! He definitely couldn't let it go!
I didn't think too much about it. I didn't think about who this merchant group was facing because no matter who it was, there was only one outcome for them: death.
When I, the highest authority in Longqi Prefecture, arrived at my own land, the first order I gave was a judgment, a judgment that demanded them to pay the price for everything they did today.
I silently looked into the distance, where the wind and sand had not yet disappeared. Murderous intent rose in my heart.
Not long after, my guards followed, their heavy iron hooves breaking the silence of the plateau. The first thing they saw was my blood-red eyes, and the first thing they felt was the boundless killing intent that I emitted.
Then they saw the tragedy and felt my sorrow.
Those elites who had accompanied me in and out of the Beastmen corpses without any change in expression now had a look of defeat on their faces. A few of them couldn't even suppress the feeling of disgust and began to vomit.
I didn't say anything else. Silence was my best choice. I commanded the knights to mount their horses and leave. In my opinion, this angry army was enough to complete my plan.
After everyone retreated to a safe distance, I cast my magic. Before I prepared to attack the unknown enemy, I used my few spells.
As the earth rumbled, the blood-stained land and everything on it gradually sank. The soil that gradually rose around it finally covered it, and soon everything disappeared. Under the gaze of hundreds of knights, the land returned to its original color.
It was as if nothing had happened, but no one was able to regain the calmness they felt when they first arrived here. Under my lead, the three hundred Royal Dragon Knights unsheathed their knight swords and gave a standard knight's salute to the people who were sleeping underground.
"Rest in peace. We will end your hatred for you. Those who sleep on my land, your lord will use the blood of your enemies to pay homage to your restless souls.”
I thought to myself guiltily.
I didn't expect that in such a short time, my long sword would reach out to the humans who had the same blood as me. Why did this happen? Why did the heavens force me to be stained with the blood of my compatriots?
I stared into the distance, in the direction where the bandits had left. All 302 knights followed my gaze and reminded me of the direction of their attack.
They checked their equipment for the last time and polished their weapons for the last time. When they put down the masks on their faces and raised the spears in their hands, all the pity and kindness would disappear. Only killing was their only mission.
They were soldiers, and only the battlefield was the most suitable place for them. It was as if I had returned to the morning under the sunrise City. I had abandoned everything and was about to face creatures that were even more brutal than the Orcs, the same as us-humans!
Today, I didn't need magic, nor did I need to retreat. Only strength and advancement were what I yearned for today. Thus, the remaining two spells turned into colorful lights that attached to the knights 'armor.
I am a general, but I am not a reckless general who would risk the lives of his subordinates. With the support of my magic, this 300-man army displayed unimaginable combat power. We firmly believed that victory was right in front of us.
