The dawn illuminated the earth, and the sun shone through the hazy mist on the roofs of wooden houses and shone brightly. Green smoke rose up, and the quiet village gradually became noisy.

The early residents who were rising up by the winding river were filling wooden barrels with clear river water, ready to carry them home to cook.

Although the Hanhai army occupied the Far East, this village located southwest of Red Iron Fort was too remote and affected very little. The residents here still lived a quiet and peaceful life at sunrise and sunset.

The man carrying clear water was walking lightly towards dozens of wooden houses standing on the hillside. He suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming out of the distance. He stopped and looked up at the undulating hills in the distance.

He saw the hilly pass leading to the outside of the village. Several cavalrymen with black cloaks appeared where they were looking at the village here. The man carrying water glanced at the long sword they were slapped at the waist.

Clang - A wooden barrel filled with clear water slid off the shoulders of the water-carrying man, making a dull sound. The barrel fell and the clear and cold river water spilled all over the ground.

"There are soldiers here! Run!" A shrill roar broke the tranquility of the morning, and the man carrying water stumbled towards the village, his face full of panic.

As the saying goes, the army is like a bandit. When born in troubled times, all residents live in fear. They not only need to avoid those bandits, but also those armies under various banners, because they are equally fierce. At the least, they can plunder finances, and at the worst, they can slaughter villages and destroy cities.

Most of the time, these armies are even more afraid of the people, because after they loot, most of them will kill people to silence them in order to destroy the evidence.

Although this village is remote, there are many rumors that the neighboring towns were destroyed. Any time a soldier was discovered, it would mean a disaster. The man carrying the water threw the bucket without hesitation and rushed back to report the news.

The quiet and peaceful village became even more noisy, and the news of the war spread rapidly like a plague. The residents in the village were panicked, and the entire village was suddenly in chaos and prepared to run for life.

Several Far East scout soldiers standing on the high hills also saw the man running towards the village, and heard his shouts and frowned.

The penetrating copper whistle sounded, and hundreds of Far Eastern scout soldiers wearing cavalry cloaks and black armor appeared on the hills, shouted, and rushed towards the village.

More than 300 panicked residents were surrounded by these cavalrymen with a cold air. They were full of fear and uneasy. The men protected the women, and the children in the women's arms cried loudly.

"Tie it all--" The chief scout who issued the order was cold and unemotional.

The black-armored scout soldiers turned over and dismounted and walked towards the terrified residents. Facing these cavalrymen with sharp blades on their waists, the residents shivered in fear and wanted to struggle to escape.

"Another noise - no mercy!" The scout sergeant who had been sitting on the war horse spoke again, and the residents who were crying and struggling calmed down. They were afraid of death and fearing the cavalry officers who were emitting cold air all over.

More than 300 old and young residents were all tied up with their hands on their backs. They were not killed. These black-clad cavalrymen who had never seen before did not plunder their property, but just pulled out the hiding residents one by one.

The residents were under the supervision of more than a dozen black cavalrymen. They had recovered from their initial panic. They had not encountered the legendary slaughter. Some elders stood up tremblingly, hoping to find a way out for the residents.

"Mr. Jun, please let us go, we can give you money, and give you all our things..."

The sergeant in black was still silent, cold as if it was ten thousand years of ice. A black-clad cavalry in charge pushed the old man into the crowd again.

Faced with such a group of black-clad cavalry who neither kills nor seeks money, the residents were nervous and did not know what their purpose was. They prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that these strange cavalrymen could be kind enough to spare their lives.

Amid the fear of the residents, a black flag appeared at the end of the path covered with weeds. The flag became higher and higher, and densely packed black-armored soldiers lined up in neat rows and followed the black military flag toward the village.

This is a huge army of great strength. They were dressed in excellent black armor and equipped with excellent weapons. Each soldier was strong and powerful, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura.

Teams of black armored soldiers crossed the village with neat and powerful steps, and disappeared into the mist in the distance, endlessly, as if endless.

Many of the residents of the small village opened their eyes wide. All of them had never seen so many people in their lives, and were in amazement and could not speak.

These black-armored soldiers moved forward silently. At the end of the team, there were many people in messy clothes. They followed the army exhaustedly, and were surrounded by black-clad cavalrymen who were as cold as ice.

"Stand up and go." The residents of the small village were also driven into the group of people, following the team to the unknown distance, leaving an empty village, and a dead silence.

The Far East Legion soldiers led by Yang Jindou attacked the Red Iron Fort two hundred miles behind Mingx City in accordance with the order of the Far East Legion Commander Mu Xue. However, after they drilled out of the forest, they were in the hilly plains, and it was difficult to hide their traces to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.

Yang Jindou's original order to the battalion commander of the scout flag was that no living person would be allowed to appear twenty miles above the road ahead, to prevent the news of their surprise attacks from being leaked, so that Han Haijun of Hongtiowen was prepared.

However, there are too many towns in this hilly plain area. Even if they choose the most remote route, they still cannot escape the villages. Although the killing is simple, it violates the purpose of the Far East Legion fighting for the people.

The battalion commander of the scout flag was transferred to the Far East Legion by the Blade Bear Legion, so he asked commander Yang Jindou to reduce the killings and marches all living people he encountered along the way, and then release them after conquering the Red Iron Fort.

Yang Jindou approved the request of the scout flag battalion commander at that time, so they walked along the way, and all the living people they encountered were arrested by them, preparing to wait until the raid mission was over before letting them go.

Far East soldiers from five flag regiments led by Yang Jindou rushed to the Red Iron Fort a hundred miles away. At night, they were less than twenty miles away from Red Iron Fort.

The rapid travel of day and night made the Far East soldiers exhausted. They stopped resting by a small river, and the scouts scattered far away around them.

Their scouts are the elite among the elite, and their combat power is strong, so there are scout soldiers guarding the surrounding areas, so they don’t have to worry about being discovered by the enemy, so they can rest with confidence.

Sergeant Zhou Rui and his ten-man team were sitting on the ground resting like all their companions, drinking water and eating dry food. Looking at the dense soldiers around, Zhou Rui was not very worried about the raid mission.

Now their Far East Legion is no longer the same. When they were still an uprising army, because of the uneven quality of soldiers, the poor military discipline and the diverse weapons, they were just a group of mobs at that time.

But at this moment, Zhou Rui felt unprecedented pride. After two months of training, all the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were cut off, leaving only the bravest and strongest soldiers. They conducted two months of devil training, and he still remembered the cold one-armed instructor. He was really a devil.

However, the effect is significant. The Far East Legion has been reborn. They are now the most powerful warriors and equipped with the most exquisite weapons. Although they have not yet fought, Zhou Rui has no doubt that they will win.

"Sergeant, the sir, ordered you to bring two strongest soldiers to the battle flags on the hillside over there." A messenger rushed to Zhou Rui, saluted and spoke.

Zhou Rui hurriedly stuffed the remaining dry field food into his mouth and returned a military salute to the commander: "Abide by the order!"

The messenger nodded and then ran to the next ten-man team. Although Zhou Rui didn't know what to do, he greeted the ten-man team and took two soldiers with strong combat power to the battle flag on the distant hillside.
