The bitter cold wind passed through the withered fields, and the air was filled with rot and blood. Under the hazy sky, groups of black crows flocked to the battlefield where corpses were everywhere.

The blood had solidified into a dark red color, the broken armor was cold and dim, and the broken blades were scattered in the blood pot. Looking around, the battlefield was vast and boundless, and the accumulated corpses had stretched to the end of their vision.

The strong smell of blood attracted the black crows and wild wolves, and they rushed to this feast in groups.

The barbarians swept across the northern border of the Hanhai Empire with thunder and thunder. The 200,000 border guards stationed in the northern walls were defeated in one battle, and Marshal Orlando was killed in a fierce battle.

The barbarians who broke through the northern border of the empire did not stop their plunder. They swept south like a torrent and rushed straight to Yuanjing, the capital of the Hanhai Empire.

The army of barbarians swept south, leaving no people and animals wherever they passed, countless cities turned into ruins, countless villages were filled with smoke, and the entire northern border of the empire was devastated.

The Hanhai Empire has made a living by hunting barbarians over the years. They regard barbarians as barbarian beasts and kill and sell them wantonly, but now the revenge is so fierce.

This time, the barbarians changed their previous practice of withdrawing after plundering the northern border, but continued to sweep south in a mighty manner, preparing to subvert the entire Hanhai Empire.

"Gao—Gao—"

A scarred Hanhai light rider galloped on the bumpy road. Hunger and fatigue had made him extremely weak.

"The city gate is strong! People stop!" The soldiers of the garrison army in the central Hanhai area saw the cavalry rushing towards them, and tried to step forward to intercept them with spears.

But what they didn't expect was that before the cavalry rushed to the city gate, the cavalry on the horse had fallen off their horses.

From a distance, I saw the cavalry falling from the horses covered in blood. The face of the commander of the city gate changed and hurriedly called several garrison soldiers and ran over.

"Brother, what happened?" The team leader on duty rushed over quickly, helped the dying cavalry and asked anxiously.

"Barbarian...The barbarian is here..." The blood-stained cavalry died before he finished speaking.

A garrison soldier muttered in confusion: "The barbarians are in the foggy forest, and they are seven or eight hundred miles away. Besides, there are border guards blocking the city walls of the northern border. What does the barbarians mean?"

"You guys are watching here, I'll report to the garrison commander!" Although the on-duty team leader didn't understand what it meant, he still made a quick decision to report the situation to his superiors.

After he finished speaking, he hurried into the Stone City and reported the situation to the Captain of the Stone City Guarding Regiment.

"What? The barbarian is here?! Where is it!"

The garrison leader of the gravel city was born into the Imperial Border Defense Forces. He used to fight against barbarians on the city walls. He was deeply afraid of those guys who ate raw meat and drank blood. When he heard the barbarians coming, he was so scared that he stood up.

Seeing his chief incompetence so much, the team leader hurriedly added: "Sir, a cavalry from the border guard came to report it, and he said that the barbarians were coming, not what I said."

The captain of the garrison brigade hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Where is the person? Take him here quickly."

The team leader on duty replied: "He died after only one sentence."

"Where is the corpse? Lead the way!" The captain of the garrison corps felt something was wrong and hurried to the city gate.

The garrison leader carefully checked the dead Hanhai Light Cavalry and pulled out a rough short arrow from his back. Looking at the short arrow, his face became extremely solemn.

He once fought against barbarians on the northern city walls and was too familiar with such short arrows. They were unique to barbarians. His countless companions died on these short arrows.

"Send the cavalry team to search north and find out the enemy's situation immediately!" Out of the alertness of the soldiers, the captain of the garrison corps felt the danger approaching.

"promise!"

Soon, more than a hundred cavalrymen belonging to the garrison of the Stone City rushed out of the city gate and headed straight for the north in the twilight.

"Close the city gate! The whole city is martial law! At the same time, send someone to warn the rear!"

A captain frowned and said, "Sir, is it too hasty to close the city gate without any basis to warn the rear?"

The captain of the garrison corps changed his usual weak and greedy state and became more decisive. He waved his hand and said, "I'll take care of it if something happens!"

Several captains did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately turned around to execute the military order.

"Hurry!" Under the urging of the officers, a group of guard soldiers drove from the camp to the streets and walls of the gravel city, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"All unrelated people go home immediately!" The cavalry rushed past the streets, and the sudden change caused unknown residents to discuss and guess what had happened.

Soon, news of the arrival of the savage spread wildly, and the entire gravel city was filled with a panic atmosphere, but the streets were already martial law, so residents could only wait quietly at home.

"Master Liu [31 Novel Network], do you know what the consequences of doing this?" In the official office of Gravel City, the administrator of Gravel City asked the garrison commander in military uniform with a calm face.

The captain of the garrison corps explained: "Mr. Luo, I have received the news that the barbarians have come, and I am prepared for martial law."

The administrator snorted coldly: "It's ridiculous! This place is still seven or eight hundred miles away from the northern border, so where can the barbarians come from?"

The garrison leader was choking and didn't know how to explain it. Everything he did was just a soldier's intuition.

The administrator waved his hand and said, "Many caravans have come to me to complain. If their convoys cannot leave the city on time, there will be a lot of losses, so you quickly order the martial law to be withdrawn."

The captain of the garrison corps insisted: "Mr. Luo, I have sent someone to investigate north, and we are not in a hurry to do this, should we wait any longer?"

"Why wait! Who will compensate the caravan for the losses? I will immediately withdraw the martial law!" Seeing that the garrison leader went against his wishes repeatedly, the administrator immediately felt angry.

Just as the captain of the garrison corps was about to agree to lift the martial law in the city, a garrison soldier stumbled into the official office.

"Sir! Sir! The cavalry team is back! They found the barbarians!"

The words of the visiting people made the two gravel city lords change their expressions. The garrison captain didn't care about the administrative officer who was stunned. He strode out of the official office and shouted: "Tell me the order! All soldiers go to the city to defend the enemy!"

The garrison commander quickly arrived at the city wall and stood on the city tower. Looking at the army of barbarians who were rushing towards him in the darkness in the twilight, he took a breath. The garrison soldiers behind him turned pale and their teeth were trembling.

The Stone City soon fell. Faced with the fierce and powerful barbarian warriors, the three thousand garrison soldiers in the Stone City were defeated after just one encounter.

Looking at the city in the twilight, the savage leader waved his hand, and the howling barbarian warriors immediately swarmed in, screaming in horror, crying in despair, and the slaughter's screams quickly. The violent killing was staged everywhere in the city, and blood gradually flooded this hell-like city
