Char ran wildly north, running away in one breath and not knowing how far, until the pursuers behind him gradually moved away, and finally he couldn't even hear those shouts and shouts, and he felt a little relieved in his heart.
Fortunately, the magic power in the ring was not consumed, and since he got rid of the pursuers, Char was reluctant to use the ring again, so he took it off and carefully put it in his arms and put it away.
As soon as he stopped, Char found a low-lying dirt pit and lay down, leaning on his back, sticking out his tongue and desperately panting, although he had the assistance of the wind magic ring, Char himself also used his life strength to run, otherwise it would be the end of the chaotic blade to divide the corpse Ah As soon as he stopped at this moment, he felt as if his lungs were on fire, and he almost burst his trachea.
Lying in the dirt pit, Char was so tired that he couldn't even move his fingers, and this state lasted for about a meal before he could barely stand up.
Once again, when he experienced the crimson murderous aura and the red light enveloped his whole body, just like last time, Char's injuries all over his body disappeared in an instant, and the damage caused to him by the repeated previous attacks was instantly smoothed out by the red light, and even the shoulder was slashed with a sword, even the armor was cut off, and the fighting spirit exploded, and the shoulder had been blown into a blur of flesh and blood, and even the bones were broken, but now that it was touched, it had healed rapidly, but the flesh and blood at the original wound were slightly red.
Char held her head and thought for a moment.
Damn, that's a trick.
Heal the injury in an instant, and you can also send a killing move that ignores defense, if such a trick is displayed, wouldn't it be invincible Char held the spar in his palm, only to feel that its surface had returned to its gray appearance, but it seemed to be slightly different When I got closer and took a closer look, it was like this.
The surface of the crystal is still as gray as an ordinary stone, but if you look closely, there seem to be a small number of fine red filamentous lines on the crystal, the red silk is thinner than a hair, and it is sparsely distributed on the surface of the crystal, and the number is not much It's like the bloodshot on the eyeball when a person doesn't sleep for a long time, but the number is much less, and the volume of the bloodshot is more subtle, and if you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.
I remember looking at this stone before, and there was no such peculiar change.
Could it be that he used this strange red light by mistake twice, causing the stone to change?
So if you use it a few more times in the future, will this stone turn pure red?
Use it a few more times Char couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The red light saved him twice, but he didn't know how to use this kind of thing correctly, and although the last killing move was powerful, it was not something he could easily trigger.
It seems that every time he is beaten half to death, his body is bruised, and life and death hang by a thread, it will cause the red light of the stone.
This is also too dangerous If the next time you encounter such a dangerous situation, the stone does not burst into red light and let yourself use the trick, then it will not be a very unjust death After resting for a while, Char recovered some physical strength, although his hands and feet were still a little sore, but after all, his physique was simply not as strong as a human, and in a moment, his physical strength also recovered two or three percent, stood up and looked at the surrounding environment, identified the direction, and decided to continue north.
Although it is safest to go south and join the large army of General Adric, but there are those reindeer cavalry chasing in the south, and if you go south, you will meet those Odin people first before you can meet the large army.
I can't expect the red light that was not working at that time to save me again, so I can only go north to catch up with Kevin and them.
Well, Kevin's bald man, they should have joined up with the Third Banner by now Just as Char was heading north, in the northern part of the Arbuckt Plains, Kevin had indeed joined the Third Banner Regiment.
Kevin took 300 cavalry to break away from the battlefield under the cover of Char and continued to break north, and encountered another interception on the way, still a team of reindeer cavalry, when the interception was forced, only about 200 cavalry remained of the 300 cavalry.
Just as it was almost noon, Kevin finally saw the Third Banner Regiment led by the silver-haired man Butler.
The 3rd Banner Regiment was a light cavalry unit under the 13th Cavalry Corps, and by the time Kevin arrived, the 3rd Banner Regiment was already in a difficult situation.
This is a special terrain, the mountains on both sides are full of woods, although the slope is not high, only about four or five meters, but it is extremely unsuitable for cavalry combat, and in the middle of the slope, there is about two or three hundred meters wide flat terrain, this flat terrain is too narrow, the Odin only need to use a small number of infantry in the narrow terrain to form a thick array, it is enough for the cavalry to not rush head-on.
After all, the 3rd Banner Regiment was not a hoplite, and a frontal forced assault on the enemy's thick ranks was not what they were best at.
By the time Kevin arrived, the 3rd Banner Regiment was already in the grip of a bitter battle, and Butler, the flag commander, had gathered his troops on a hillside and used the narrow breach to defend and wait for reinforcements.
They had already fought hard here all night, and the losses of the Third Banner Regiment were not light, and there were only more than 1,300 cavalry left in the strength of 2,000 men, almost half of whom were wounded.
Butler almost repented of his bowels.
Originally, he was only a vanguard, conducting power searches to clear the way for the large forces behind.
But last night, he encountered a small group of Odin's reindeer cavalry, and after fighting the other side, the Odin left behind more than a hundred corpses and retreated, and Butler was eager to expand the victory.
At night, his vision was not good, he was lured into this dangerous terrain by the Odin, and by the time he reacted, it was too late to get out.
This is clearly a trap, and the Odin people just pay attention to it and want to eat the Third Banner Regiment that is the vanguard in one bite.
The cavalry could not rush out in the narrow terrain, Butler immediately made a decision to retreat on a hillside, and at dawn, he finally determined that the Odin people besieging him had a legion, about 20,000 or so Odin troops, surrounded this hillside, Butler tried to lead people to break through, two breakthroughs, the cavalry rushed down from the hillside, with the power of the sprint, a glimpse of the short kill of the Odin people under the mountain step by step, but after all, the Odin people gathered too many troops, in this narrow terrain, As long as a thick infantry array is formed, Butler, who has only more than a thousand cavalry, will not be able to penetrate the opposing camp at all, like a rusty blunt knife that cannot pierce through the thick flesh.
Breaking through twice, the cavalry of the 13th Corps fought bravely, but they rushed left and right, and finally had to be forced to retreat to the hillside When Kevin led the troops to feel it, looking at the dense array of Odin people under the hillside, it made people's scalps tingle.
He only had 200 cavalry, and it was really difficult to rush over to the rescue, and 200 men rushed into the camp of 20,000 men, and he was afraid that he would be killed in less than a moment.
But then Kevin discovered a strange phenomenon, his cavalry force of two hundred people was soon discovered as soon as he entered this area, Butler on the mountain saw the arrival of reinforcements, gathered all his strength to organize another breakthrough, and more than 1,000 cavalry under him swore to charge to the death, and actually killed down the hillside, killing a bloody way in the interception of the Odin In the narrow terrain below the hillside, the dead bodies were everywhere, and the Odin people poured up like a tide, and where Butler led the cavalry charge, the Odin retreated like a tide.
In this case, Kevin had no choice but to rush up with people to respond, rushing into the array of Odin people along the way, although the killing was tragic, but Kevin had a doubt in his heart The resistance of these Odins seems to be far less strong than imagined The two armies quickly converged on the battlefield, and then tried to quickly break away from the battlefield and retreat south to join up with the larger forces.
Tens of millions of people shouted to kill the sky, crowded in this narrow flat and low-lying terrain hundreds of meters wide, and when the two cavalry had just converged, a dull sound of bull's horns suddenly came from the distant hillside The trumpet sounded thick and solemn, and the surrounding Odin warriors, who were still trying to be entangled to the death, suddenly retreated to both sides like a tide, and soon broke away from contact with the Byzantine cavalry.
"They let us go," Kevin wondered.
At this moment, Butler, the flag officer of the Third Banner Regiment, was already covered in blood, his armor was at least seven or eight damaged, he still had an arrow shaft stuck in his shoulder, and his helmet was long gone, he and Kevin converged, and seeing the surrounding Odin retreat, the silver-haired man wiped the blood on his face, but his face suddenly changed: "Oops, we were fooled" Odin's infantry retreated quickly, but bands of reindeer cavalry quickly rushed out of the woods on the hillsides on either side These reindeer cavalry had already recuperated and had been repairing in the woods for a whole night, and seeing a team of reindeer cavalry frantically rushing down the ramp from the slopes on both sides, Butler's eyes flashed a trace of misery, and he hissed and roared: "Rush south, all rush south, rush out of this canyon."
But it was too late The reindeer cavalry on both sides poured down with the momentum of the descent, and soon entangled the Byzantine cavalry, biting their rear team to the death The tactic of pestering the Odin was very simple, that is, to bite the Byzantine cavalry to the death and not give them a chance to breathe After breaking out, the Byzantine cavalry ranks were completely scattered, and in the case of fighting and retreating, they could not get a chance to stop and form a line to form a counter-charge.
In this way, more than a thousand cavalrymen were chased and beaten by the reindeer cavalry of the Odin, and there were interceptions of infantry breaking through the layers in front, and there were cold arrows of archers on the hillside Kevin had never fought such a bad battle, and he knew that if it was a head-to-head duel, his side, as the most elite cavalry of the Byzantine Empire, would definitely be able to crush these Odin reindeer cavalry head-on But now I can't turn around I can't turn around In order for the cavalry to form an effective kill, it must be in formation to attack in order to be in the chaos of the army, being chased and beaten by the enemy, biting their own rear team, there is no chance to breathe, once stopped, there will be a large number of Odin infantry around.
And if you don't stop, you can't get rid of the reindeer cavalry behind.
The reindeer cavalry in the back was like a knife, cutting off the ranks of the Byzantine cavalry layer by layer In the distance, on the hillside, a tall figure stood under a large cowhide canopy, and behind him was a huge chair made of some kind of animal bone, covered with a thick black fur blanket.
The man had a tall physique typical of Odin, a broad shouldered and majestic body, full of explosive power, a bear helmet on his head, and a gray fur cape, but he did not have any weapons in his hand, but held a small banner.
Compared with the rough skin of ordinary Odin, this guy's skin is too fair, as if with a hint of sickness, a pair of turquoise eyes rare among Odin, staring closely at the battle situation in the distance below the mountain.

Behind him, stood dozens of tall Odin warriors, each of whom was more than two meters tall, each of whom was dressed in thick bear skin, with only iron armor on his chest and a short axe in his hand, and each Odin warrior had his long hair woven into a dense little whip.
This kind of costume is the famous "Axe Warrior" among the Odin people The bear-helmeted Odin in front of his head withdrew his eyes, a shallow disdainful smile on his lips.
"Hmph, the famous Rhodria Cavalry Regiment is nothing more than that."
He smiled faintly, and suddenly stretched out his arm and raised it flat, and on his arm, with a black iron ring, he heard a loud eagle roar in the air, and a winged eagle with gray feathers all over his body landed on his arm.
The Odin man stretched out his finger and tapped the eagle's head lightly, then took a bloody strip of flesh from his pocket and brought it to the eagle's mouth.
"Oh, Adric should have brought someone over, hehe."
A smug smile flashed in his eyes, but before his smile could fully bloom, he heard the sound of hurried hooves behind him.
A reindeer cavalry rushed to a distance of more than ten meters, turned over and jumped down, staggered up, and crawled on the ground.
"What's wrong," the Odin man frowned.
The reindeer cavalry was a burly Odin man, but at the moment his face was full of fear, and his body trembled: "Venerable Lord Kokran, you, your brother" Ke Curan raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with him" "Your brother was killed in battle, he died at the hands of a Byzantine cavalryman, we tried to hunt down the murderer, but instead" As he spoke, the Odin reindeer cavalry closed his mouth, because he saw Ko Kelan's eyes shoot into his face, and Ke Kelan's eyes were extremely sharp, and instantly burst out with a terrifying light The body of the reindeer cavalry trembled uncontrollably, remembering that such an important person actually died in his own team, just afraid Just when the horseman's heart was terrified to the extreme, the expected thunderous anger did not fall.
Ke Curan seemed to be silent for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, my dear young brother, did he die in battle, that's interesting news.
For us Odin warriors, dying on the battlefield is also a rare honor. ” These two sentences seemed to be said without a trace of anger, and even the tone had a hint of gentleness and femininity, but because of this, the cavalryman who was familiar with the temperament of Lord Ko Kelan was even colder in his heart Seeing that the eyes of this Lord Ko Curan were getting softer and softer, the cavalryman was even more prostrate on the ground, not even daring to raise his head, and his body trembled as if he was suffering from a cold disease.
There was a smile on the corner of Ke Kelan's mouth, and he casually teased the wingman on his arm with his fingers, as if talking to himself: "Well, with the death of a son, I think my noble and great father His Majesty will definitely burst into a thunderous rage, alas, what sad news." ” Although he said this, the warm smile on his face was a little sad "Fortunately, His Majesty Father has more than 20 sons, and one or two have died, so it's not a big deal."
The last sentence is even more rebellious, the cavalry only wishes that he would become deaf at this moment, and such a rebellious words are heard by himself, but I am afraid that Master Ke Kelan will not let himself go Finally, after a moment of silence, Ke Curran took a deep breath, and the gentle smile on his face instantly retracted, replaced by a solemn one.
"Spread my order to raise the blood flag, I will avenge my dear brother, and then, write a letter back to report this sad news."
After a pause, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes: "Anyway, if a younger brother dies, I have to make some gestures, right?"
It's the first time I've led the team myself, so I can't mess things up. ” Kevin and Butler finally led people out of this low-lying terrain, after running out of the valley, there was an open area in front of them, the two of them were already wounded, and the stick hammer in Kevin's hand had already been left on the battlefield, at this moment he was holding a double-edged knight's sword, and Butler was lying on horseback, this silver-haired man couldn't even stand upright, he was cut by an Odin reindeer cavalryman on his back, his armor was cut off, and the axe almost killed him.
Once he rushed out of this valley, Kevin immediately felt a shock in his heart, there was no Odin infantry in front of him, and with the movement of his cavalry, he far surpassed the reindeer cavalry, which was enough to get rid of the pursuers with speed, as long as he could rearrange the formation, and then he could organize a counter-charge so that these Odin reindeer cavalry could taste the power of the Byzantine cavalry Cavalry has always been the strongest arm of the Byzantines Kevin, who had been beaten to the brim with rage, wanted to vent, but what made him furious was that once he rushed out of this canyon, the reindeer cavalry of the Odin behind immediately stopped pursuing, and the forward quickly broke away from the rear of the Byzantine cavalry, and then turned around and retreated back into the canyon This, when did these bastard Odin people become so cunning Finally stopped to line up, but as soon as the number of people was counted, Butler and Kevin vomited blood on the spot The reinforcements of the Third Banner Regiment and Kevin, all combined, had less than six hundred horsemen running out alive In other words, the opponent's tactics of chasing and fighting, which seem to be cunning and unreasonable, are very effective, and this entanglement tactic has caused more than half of the Byzantines to be killed or wounded The Third Flag Regiment was completely crippled in the following battles in this battle, and it was no longer able to exert its combat strength with the establishment of a flag regiment, so it could only wait for post-war reconstruction.
Butler's heart was dripping with blood, as the commander of the Third Banner Regiment, these cavalry were brought out by him, and he lost more than seventy percent of his troops at the moment, so how could he not grieve Suffice it to say, if Odin's plan was to eat the Third Banner Regiment, then the purpose of the operation was basically accomplished.
Because of the 2,000 cavalry of the Third Banner Regiment, less than 500 were alive, and the losses reached 70%, and all the living people were brought with them, and only 300 were able to maintain their combat capability.
In this battle, although the Third Banner Regiment was not completely annihilated, it basically lost its combat effectiveness.
There was no trace of heroism on Butler's silver-haired man's face, as if he was twenty years old, lying on horseback, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and gritting his teeth.
Kevin's heart was dripping with blood, looking at the remnants of the army around him No, these Odin's fighting style is very different from what it used to be.
In the past, the Odin were a symbol of savagery and bravery, and they were best at head-on decisive battles, but they would not play this kind of lure the enemy, set up ambushes, encircle points to send reinforcements, and the cunning tactics of entanglement and biting And other than that, the most important thing that Kevin and Butler can't remember is: The army of the Odin people in front of them, although there are about 20,000 people, but in terms of quality, they are not the elite troops of the Odin, but just an ordinary second-line army of the Odins In the past, the 13th Cavalry Corps had not suffered a big loss at the hands of the Odin, but it was lost at the hands of the elite Odin legion commanded by Hasting.
But this time, he actually ate such a big stuffy stick in front of an ordinary army of Odin Both of them are old men who have been in the army for a long time, and it can be estimated that the losses of the Odin people this time are about 3,000 to 4,000.
Judging by the proportion of losses on both sides, it doesn't seem too ugly.
But don't forget, your side is one of the most elite troops in the Byzantine Empire, and it's all a powerful class: cavalry "Fuck, the Odin people actually learned to use the terrain and use strategy, is the other party's general Hasting" Kevin spat bloody foam fiercely.
"No, it won't."
Butler's face was miserable: "It's not like we haven't encountered Hasting's Black Flag Legion.
If it is said that the generals have been changed, with Hasting's prestige in the Odin Empire, it is absolutely impossible to be demoted to command an ordinary army.
The only explanation is that there is another powerful military general among the Odin."
After a pause, although the veteran was crumbling by the blow, he still gritted his teeth and gave the order.
Since those Odin did not pursue, then their own side did not need to retreat immediately, and stood in formation, while sending heralds to wait for the large army behind to catch up and converge.
"When the general arrives with people, let's fight these Aoding people again."
Char didn't dare to take the big road, he seemed to return to the days when he was hunting alone in the mountains and forests, cautiously sneaking on the complex hillside, deliberately making a big circle, detouring more than ten miles from the right side, and quietly approaching the predetermined meeting point.
It was almost noon, Char finally came to this valley, but coincidentally, because he did not take the main road, he did not meet Kevin and others who were gathering on the south side of the valley for help, but went around from the right side, and quickly approached the hillside on the right side directly.
As he approached the woods, Char immediately heard a voice behind him, and with experience, the dull and messy hoofs were obviously not the cavalry of the Byzantine Empire, and he immediately flew up a tree like a monkey, and saw a small group of reindeer cavalry slowly passing by.
Seeing the number of people on the other side, Char didn't dare to breathe, for fear of revealing a trace of movement.
Then, as he lay down on the trunk of the tree, he quietly curled his body into a ball, and heard a cacophony of voices coming from the woods, and the troops of the Odin people came out of the woods, and lined up outside the woods:
