Chapter 92 The waves before the storm
The town of Irvingdale, with towering gray-white walls standing, the former lazy city defense force disappeared, and is now in charge of town defense by the Noxus Empire Cavalry.
"Are Worthman sure that's what he said?" Gregory stood in the tower, holding the hilt of his waist with his right hand, staring at the deeper night.
"Yes, Lord Gregory." The blood-colored Noxus cavalry who had met Worthman had been bowing and standing behind Gregory.
Gregory smiled without answering, he knew Vosman's thoughts very well.
As middle-level officers of the Noxus Empire, they do not expect to be a heroic existence, but maintaining the strong competitiveness of the Noxus Empire is an important thing they must do.
With the emergence of the Holy Hammer's Yi Bobi and the Shadowflow Lord's Tribulation, they felt a sense of urgency.
Obviously, there will definitely be other forces beside Lord Modrian in the future, including those ace legions famous in the Valoran continent.
So, would the Noxus Empire, which existed as a pillar force in the early stage, give up its dominance so easily?
Obviously, it is impossible.
This is fundamentally not in line with the strategic goals of the Noxus Empire, so improving one's own strength and the strength of the Noxus soldiers as soon as possible is something that both he and Worthman have to consider.
War is one of the best ways to improve strength.
"What about those mice hiding in the dark now? I don't want to be stabbed in the back by the enemy during the war." Gregory turned his head and looked at the town of Irvingdale in the dim light, and a hint of murderous intent burst out from his cold eyes.
"Everyone is under control and surveillance, Lord Cooper is on standby at any time." The guardian Noxus Expeditionary Cavalry said in a deep voice.
Cooper?
A look flashed across Gregory's face and said in a low voice: "Hope, this is the best moment for him to express his loyalty to Lord Modrian again."
If it weren't for the sudden accident in Irvingdale township, he wouldn't have been sent here.
Of course, Gregory was still very relieved to Cooper and his loyalty to Lord Modrian. The 100-man cavalry team of the Noxus Empire was enough to destroy all the waves.
But this accident was a bit unusual. Some of them betrayed the oath among the first cavalry who followed and loyal to Modrian.
He even made a frugal act of colluding with outsiders, selling some military intelligence to the hypocritical aristocratic forces before this war.
"The Noxus Empire refuses to betray, and no one can be an exception."
Gregory held the sword at his waist tightly, and the dark armor reflected bright flames, then turned around and left the tower.
"Prepare to start, don't let Worthman and the others take a joke."
The night behind the rain was a bit cold, there were not many people on the streets, and there were no signs of alcoholics. Perhaps the oak tavern that was swallowed by the fire reminded these guys who were accustomed to late-night life.
Many of the clever guys vaguely noticed that some kind of storm was brewing, but when they wanted to leave, it was too late.
Tat! Tat! Tat! Tat!
The bright red war horses stepped across the street, and the crisp sound roared in the night sky. Many houses on both sides of the street opened the windows and looked at them. However, after seeing the group of armored and helmets, they hurriedly closed the windows. The cold and indifferent aura made people feel the soul trembling.
After many local forces in Irvingdale towns discovered the abnormality, they sent out their own spies to gain something.
"Sir, they've taken action." Gerner, the former Irvingdale Town Defense Army captain, stood in the attic, looking down at the group of elite cavalry, his tone trembling.
"It's no longer our business. When we hand over the rights to the town of Irvingdale, we are the past." Mananzerom, the nominal town of Irvingdale, sighed.
He once thought that he would live his life in this small town and retire with his honor as a garrison official. Perhaps some outstanding people among his descendants could inherit this small position.
Unfortunately, no one can escape under fate.
Since the noble young master Modrian came here, everything was moving towards something beyond expectations.
"This war will completely disrupt the situation in the north of the kingdom, and the glory of peace will become increasingly dimming."
Manan looked up at the night sky. The almost invisible starlight was gradually swallowed by the dark night until it completely disappeared, with only the crescent moon hanging with a faint red mark.
Moonlight leads the way, and Gregory leads the Noxus cavalry across the streets, galloping towards the courtyard east of the city, where Cooper’s mansion, where many of his former followers also live.
Yuyu! Yuyu!
The war horse roared, and Gregory skillfully pulled the reins, looking at the end of the street with a serious expression, where there was a surge of life energy, his nostrils slightly moved, and the smell of blood drifted here with the cold wind.
Gregory silently raised his right hand and signaled the Noxus cavalry behind him to enter a state of combat. Under his armor, his face was filled with excitement.
etc?
That's Cooper?
Through the thin moonlight, Gregory saw the figures galloping and running away on the streets, and there were several figures behind him running away together.
Then his face was slightly solemn. Did he get the news in advance?
But, it doesn't matter!
"Noxus, offensive!"
A low roar echoed throughout the night, Gregory's sword blade pointed, the sound of horse hooves ran like thunder, and the figures of the Noxus cavalry penetrated the streets like sharp blades.
A bright flag blooms like a rose in the night, and a double-edged axe is exquisitely depicted on it. The blade of the axe seems to be flashing with soul flames in the empty axe.
That is the flag representing the Noxus Empire!
In the darkness, after feeling the violent tremors on the soles of Cooper, the enemies chasing Cooper suddenly looked up and saw the dazzling red and black cavalry wearing armor.
They gave up the assassination without hesitation and retreated frantically to the street intersection. The leaders even suddenly activated the life energy in their bodies and accelerated their escape from here.
Before infiltrating the town of Irvingdale, they had obtained detailed information here, and the meaning of the flag was very clear, and they were the elite cavalry under the leadership of the pioneer knight Modrian.
If they were cavalry from other forces, as extraordinary knights, they might try the depth, but this is an elite cavalry that has proved themselves and experienced blood rain.
They are not fools, the preciousness of life is more important than anything else!
"Want to leave?"
Gregory said mockingly, his eyes under his armor staring at the enemies in front, and the surging life energy represents their value.
The next moment, the scarlet life energy like a flame enveloped Gregory's figure, the war horses neighed, and the blood-colored cavalry behind them burst out with life energy, quickly approaching the enemy's position.
Sharp!
The black heavy sword danced, and scarlet light flashed at the blade, and sticky blood dripped from the tip of the sword.
Gulu!
The head wrapped in a black helmet rolled onto the stone slab, and several headless bodies that had lost their center continued to move forward for seven or eight meters before falling to the ground.
Gregory turned his horse's head and stared at him. All the enemies were stabbed by the blood-colored Noxus cavalry in a round of charge, without even a trace of room for resistance.
The horse's hooves stepped on the bright red floor, splashing a little blood. Gregory looked down at Cooper, who looked embarrassed and smiled and said, "This is not the way you and I promised, it's a bit ugly now!"
