Their squad has always been at the forefront, scouting the way.
While observing the surroundings, they felt the light cast down from the dim orange-yellow sky.
How long have they seen the doomsday-like sky?
It seems it has always been like this.
Speaking of which, when did I start serving as a soldier?
Ah, it’s been too long, so details are blurry.
It seems I’ve always been fighting.
Death, waking up, continuing the fight.
The forr captain who fought with us for several days died yesterday.
Died at the soldiers’ final destination.
However, not sad, Mark thought.
Death seems like a common occurrence, not just for others, but for oneself as well.
The teammates beside seem very familiar, even though we’ve only been together for a few days.
It seems with just a glance, they can understand .
Speaking of which, Captain Abby seems to take care of them, understands what they think, can comprehend so of their difficulties.
Seems to even know their likes.
My hobby?
Seems to be horseback riding.
The warhorse I ride, seems to always be... Bai Er?
"Mark, you’re daydreaming again." A voice appeared beside my ear and patted my shoulder.
When Mark turned his head, Abby was already heading elsewhere.
What’s wrong with lately?
It seems like it’s since the captain died.
"Regroup, regroup."
A knight in light armor ca around and shouted loudly.
Hearing the knight’s words, Mark instantly awakened.
Said to his teammates: "Let’s go back."
After speaking, he rode his horse, leading his teammates back to the main forces.
"Everyone charge forward, we will directly enter the battlefield." Kreya Centurion’s voice rang out.
Soon the entire army started to trot.
Mark also patted Bai Er beneath him, urging him to trot quickly.
Not long after trotting, they could faintly hear the sounds of battle cries.
He raised his hand to block the sunlight from the sky and looked into the distance.
They could already see the fortress and the peaks on either side of it from afar.
As they got closer to the battlefield, the sounds of battle cries and cannon fire beca audible.
Mark knew the sound of cannon fire; this was the thod of attack used by Officer Cain, whom they pledged allegiance to.
"Attack!"
Kreya Centurion’s voice rang out.
What followed were rings of light spreading out from her feet.
The image of a blood-red lion appeared on the Centurion.
With the issuance of the command and the enhancent of the light rings and shadow, Mark felt his strength surge, feeling almost invincible.
He felt he could easily defeat the version of himself from a second ago.
"Go, follow and shoot freely."
Mark shouted loudly, leading his teammates quickly towards the battlefield.
He could feel Bai Er beneath him running faster than ever before.
The wind pressure blew against his face.
A feeling of exhilaration arose spontaneously.
What kind of feeling is this?
Perhaps... freedom?
Mark didn’t think much more.
Because he already saw the enemy, nurous soldiers in blue and white armor with their backs turned to them.
A sneak attack from behind, interesting.
Mark directly shot the arrow he had already nocked, didn’t need to aim, he knew he would hit the target.
As his arrow flew out, it struck the neck of a soldier in blue and white armor, making him fall to the ground.
His teammates behind him also began shooting furiously.
However, they stopped their charge, as they had already reached the battlefield’s edge.
They just needed to roam the edge of the battlefield, attacking all enemies within their sight.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion erupted not far from Mark.
Three to five soldiers in blue armor disappeared before Mark’s eyes.
Only a deep crater remained in place, the scattered dirt flying onto his face.
Mark looked towards the battlefield center and found his superior in the midst of nurous soldiers.
Kane was currently in the battlefield center, controlling his firepower platform and unleashing fire around him.
Ah, Officer Cain is still as strong as ever.
"Captain, we’ve been targeted." The words from a teammate beside him caught Mark’s attention.
Mark quickly looked around and saw a Light Cavalry riding towards them from their rear flank.
These Light Cavalry wore blue armor, exuding a strong aura, charging towards them.
"Kite them, our horses have been empowered by the Centurion, they’re much faster."
Mark quickly reacted, telling his teammates as he spurred Bai Er to swiftly run away.
As they ran, they didn’t forget to shoot arrows at the Light Cavalry chasing behind them.
Mark’s arrows were deflected and broken by the enemy’s cavalry commander using a Longsword.
Facing a tough opponent, Mark thought.
Mark was one of the earliest veterans to follow Kane, his strength had reached the Silver level just yesterday.
With various powers bestowed by Kreya Centurion, the arrows shot by him were broken so easily by the enemy captain.
"Maintain a good distance, they are strong." Mark reminded his teammates.
Drawing his Bow again, he shot arrows.
However, this ti he shot two arrows.
This technique was recently mastered, taught to them by Officer Cain during a camp inspection.
Although the second arrow caused so unease, it still administered no harm to the enemy captain.
Thus, the two horse-mounted teams began chasing each other around the battlefield.
Knowing they couldn’t deal with the Light Cavalry behind them, Mark’s team occasionally shot arrows at surrounding enemies.
Relying on their empowered horses, faster than the enemy’s, they maintained a safe distance.
The Light Cavalry behind them were strong, but their horses weren’t great, couldn’t catch up, lacking a good long-range strategy, they kept chasing.
Witnessing Kreya’s team joining the fray, the enemy’s numbers began rapidly dwindling,
At this mont, just counting the soldiers, Kane’s forces were not outnumbered by those attacking them.
Adding Kane’s strength.
The battle started to beco one-sided.
Seeing the situation, Mark taunted the cavalry chasing behind him: "Stop chasing, you won’t catch us, see you’re close to losing."
However, those soldiers seed deaf to his words, stubbornly continuing the chase.
At this mont, their horses’ speed suddenly dropped, feeling the previously gained powers dissipating.
Kreya’s empowernt effect duration ended.
It’s over.
Mark thought.
Sure enough, the cavalry behind sharply sensed their target’s slowed movent, quickly sped up to charge over.
Mark quickly bent his Bow and shot.
But it didn’t matter, the arrow was deflected by the enemy commander’s Long Spear before it reached.
A teammate beside Mark was pierced through the heart by another cavalry’s Long Spear.
Facing the Long Spear thrusting toward himself, Mark drew a Longsword from his waist and slashed.
The force from the Long Spear was imnse, with just a powerful strike, it disard Mark’s Longsword.
Seeing the Long Spear aiming for his chest.
Is it death again?
"Tat-tat-tat!"
Pain and darkness did not co, instead his shoulder was patted.
"Soldier, the strength is still insufficient, it needs improvent."
Kane, using his Revolving Launcher, wiped out the cavalry.
This cavalry was among the few remaining on the battlefield still mounted.
Then, Kane continued to charge toward other directions.
There were still many enemy troops mounting futile resistance around.
Leaving behind an excited Mark.
Several red ribbons floated from the sky, rging into himself and his teammates.
The wounds left from the battle were rapidly healing.
Mark ca to his senses.
Since I’m not dead, let’s continue fighting.
