## Chapter 22: Attacking the Tribe

The Red Horn Wilderness is a desolate wasteland located over two hundred kilometers north of Black Stone City.

Plants are sparse, and water sources are hard to find in the wilderness, only many jagged rocks resembling red horns can be found, hence the name Red Horn Wilderness.

Due to the harsh environment, except for the Black Scale Lizardfolk tribe, no other intelligent species reside in the Red Horn Wilderness.

It is also because of the difficulty in finding enough food in the Red Horn Wilderness that every winter, the Black Scale Lizardfolk invade Black Stone City’s territory, plundering enough food to survive the winter and, along the way, reducing the excessive population of their tribe.

Black Stone City, from top to bottom, has always hated this plundering tribe that brings disaster every year.

Therefore, when Kei issued an order to raid the Black Scale Lizardfolk tribe, it immediately received enthusiastic responses from the knights.

“I’ve been disgusted with those lizard bandits for a long time! Today, we must wipe them out!”

Jorton, riding a Blackrock Beast, had a face full of excitement.

Due to the importance of this war, Kei, besides dispatching the newly formed cavalry regiment, also drafted five hundred soldiers.

With the support of ample gold coins, Black Stone City’s current army has expanded to a thousand people.

This doesn’t include the militia.

Military strength, compared to last year, has increased by several times.

The cavalry regiment led the way, with infantry in the rear, a long queue of more than five hundred people marched orderly in the wilderness.

Kei and Su Nan were in the middle of the line, both riding Blackrock Beasts.

However, compared to the Blackrock Beasts of the cavalry regiment, the Blackrock Beasts that the two rode looked more robust and towering, with a more profound body sheen.

**[Blackrock Beast (Puppet/High-Rank Knight Level), a puppet creature made from Black Stone Iron, with a body harder than Black Stone Iron, possessing the ability to lurk in the Black Stone Iron veins, and can replenish energy and heal injuries by consuming Black Stone Iron.]**

This is a refined Blackrock Beast that Su Nan synthesized using seven Blackrock Beasts.

Each one has the fighting ability of a High-Rank Knight, and their bodies are even harder, even weapons made from Black Stone Iron can only leave a shallow mark on them.

Kei was fond of this refined Blackrock Beast, it was evident that he was satisfied with his mount.

As they went deeper into the Red Horn Wilderness, the surrounding environment became increasingly desolate.

After another half-hour journey, the scout in charge of reconnaissance returned, shouting, “Sir, the Black Scale Lizardfolk tribe is about two kilometers ahead.”

“Good.”

Kei’s spirit lifted, and he ordered in a deep voice.

“Everyone, accelerate, prepare for battle!”

As the order was issued, the speed of the team immediately increased.

Not long after, the Black Scale Lizardfolk tribe came into view.

It was called a tribe, but it was actually just a bunch of low wooden houses made of hay and wood enclosed by wooden fences, showing primitiveness and backwardness everywhere.

With the approach of over five hundred soldiers, the Black Scale Lizardfolk, not being blind, naturally could not have failed to notice.

By the time the army arrived, hundreds of Black Scale Lizardfolk, armed with weapons, had gathered in front of their tribe, staring at the approaching enemy with fierce eyes.

The Black Scale Lizardfolk can be considered a tribe where everyone is a soldier. Even women and children have combat abilities that are not inferior to normal adult men.

Adult Black Scale Lizardfolk have a strength level comparable to Knight Attendants.

A few elite Black Scale Lizardfolk can reach the level of Probationary Knights.

If there are ancestral reversions, Black Scale Lizardfolk who have awakened a trace of Dragon Lizard bloodline are even able to compete with Knights.

Right now, standing at the forefront, with red patterns on their scales, clearly awakened Dragon Lizard bloodline, there are more than a dozen Knight-level Black Scale Lizardfolk.

The one at the head, nearly eight feet tall, exuding a fierce and violent aura, gave Su Nan a feeling similar to Kei’s.

Remember that just last month, Kei had already been promoted to Peak Knight.

In other words, this Black Scale Lizardfolk, who is suspected to be the tribal chief, may possess Peak Knight-level strength.

Besides, there were clearly over two hundred Black Scale Lizardfolk warriors armed with weapons.

In terms of numbers, they may be fewer than them, but their individual strength was undoubtedly higher.

To win this battle, it seemed not so simple.

However, whether it was Kei, or his knights, they were all fearless and morale high.

Because behind them stood a Wizard!

While running, all the cavalrymen in the cavalry regiment pulled out potions without exception, used their thumbs to pry open the corks, and tilted their heads back to gulp them down.

蛮力药剂 (Bǎn lì yào jì) [Brute Force Potion]!

A zero-order potion that can greatly enhance strength!

For this battle, Su Nan made over sixty potions in one go, allowing the cavalry regiment to be equipped with one potion per person.

With the enhancement of the Brute Force Potion, even Probationary Knights can exert a power not inferior to formal Knights!

“Charge!”

Kei drew his long sword and roared.

Under his charge, the cavalry regiment slammed into the Black Scale Lizardfolk’s defenses like arrows!

In an instant, blood splattered, and limbs flew!

The battle erupted instantly and quickly escalated to a fever pitch.

The open space in front of the tribe instantly turned into a bloody battlefield!

Since their formation, the cavalry regiment riding Blackrock Beasts had their first real taste of battle.

The combat effectiveness they displayed did not disappoint.

Even though the Black Scale Lizardfolk could withstand the weapons swung by the cavalry, they were quickly torn open in the chest and abdomen by the sharp claws of the Blackrock Beasts.

They were no longer facing individual cavalrymen but a joint attack of cavalry and Blackrock Beasts.

This was completely different from the cavalry armies they had faced in the past.

The information gap, which appeared initially, unexpectedly resulted in heavy losses for the Black Scale Lizardfolk.

Su Nan stood in the rear, watching the battlefield, and nodded secretly.

This world seemed to have never had the example of taming strange beasts as mounts.

At least, there had never been any in the Starsea Duchy.

Therefore, this unprecedented troop type of Blackrock Beast cavalry, when facing them for the first time, easily made wrong responses.

And in the ever-changing battlefield, wrong responses often meant death.

The number of Blackrock Beast cavalry is still quite small, but when this army expands into a truly full-fledged cavalry regiment, it is expected to bring great “surprises” to Black Stone City’s enemies.

Su Nan withdrew his gaze, glanced at Bred who was guarding nearby, and sighed slightly.

He still needs to be promoted to Second-Rank Wizard Apprentice as soon as possible, otherwise, he will always be a fragile mage, and he will need someone to protect him on the battlefield.

Shaking his head, Su Nan gathered his thoughts, muttered strange syllables, and a basketball-sized ball of acid quickly condensed in front of him. As his finger extended, it shot towards a Knight-level Black Scale Lizardfolk like an arrow.

Master’s Hand is not long enough to be used on the current battlefield.

Therefore, Su Nan chose to use Acid Splash.

Sizzle!

The Black Scale Lizardfolk didn’t expect an attack to come from afar, and he was caught off guard, hit by the acid on his face.

In just an instant, the acid corroded a large hole on the Black Scale Lizardfolk’s face, all five senses were corroded, leaving only a pitch-black cavity, even the bones inside were corroded quite a bit.

The Black Scale Lizardfolk twitched and fell to the ground, it was clear that he was dead.

The terrifying power of the Acid Splash made the surrounding Black Scale Lizardfolk’s scalp tingle.

For a while, the Black Scale Lizardfolk all looked at Su Nan with deep fear in their eyes.

They weren’t afraid of human blades and fists, but this strange and terrifying attack was beyond their understanding.

What kind of power is this?
