The Emperor is Above

Chapter 208 I can't hear you clearly, please say it again!
Just a few dozen black-armored cavalrymen cut through an army of tens of thousands of wild folk.

However, after they penetrated the enemy's formation, they did not turn back to cooperate with the central division and the armed militia in the city to continue the attack, but instead rushed towards their own side.

This surprised Qing Yi a little and he said, "I heard about the reputation of the Black Armor Cavalry when I was staying at the Zuoshi Camp during my trip to the capital at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately I never had the chance to see them.

I didn't expect that these dozens of black armored cavalrymen would come aggressively after just seeing us for the first time. Could it be that they think we are the barbarian coalition army?"

"Perhaps they are curious after seeing the four tree spirit masters!" Gongsun Wu rode his horse forward two steps and explained to Qing Yi with a smile, "The establishment of the Black Armor Cavalry can be traced back to Liehou a hundred years ago, and they made great contributions in the battle against the Xianyu tribe outside Xingtai City.

From then on, every generation of Xing Hou had used the Black Armor Cavalry as his personal guards. The selection process was extremely strict. After a hundred years of accumulation, there were only 500 people in total, with five major commanders each leading a hundred cavalry.

Seeing that the man in front of me is using a 25-foot-long gilded boring tool, he must be Taishu Bingxin from the Black Armor Cavalry. It is said that he is a very kind and gentle person and will not do anything that would cause misunderstandings."

Before he finished speaking, fifty black-armored cavalrymen stopped in an orderly manner a hundred feet away. There was no disorder in their appearance or formation, which demonstrated their extremely high military quality.

Qing Yi carefully looked at the personal guards of Marquis Xing. Apart from the leader Taishu Bingxin who was a third-grade combat master, there were as many as ten fourth-grade martial masters.

Four of them followed closely behind Taishu Bingxin, two were at the rear, and the last four surrounded a young man who was wearing gold and jade pendants and luxurious armor inlaid with gold and silver, always vigilantly scanning the surroundings for any danger.

Among the other thirty-odd people, there are twenty at the fifth-grade warrior level, and although the remaining dozen are sixth-grade upper-armored soldiers, they are all strong men who have experienced brutal fighting, and their combat effectiveness is far beyond that of ordinary sixth-grade upper-armored soldiers.

In addition to their overall powerful cultivation, every knight of the Black Armor Cavalry wears extremely sophisticated black armor, which, although without too many decorations, is engraved with rune patterns.

The mounts they rode were all extremely handsome and exotic beasts. The lowest level was an eighth-grade red-lilac colt, and most were sixth-grade purple-lilac colts. The strongest was undoubtedly the fourth-grade Ye horse ridden by Taishu Bingxin, which was sometimes surrounded by strange fire.

While Qing Yi was carefully observing the appearance and strength of the Black Armor Cavalry, Taishu Bingxin was also carefully observing this team which seemed very strange to him.

These dozens of guards were riding on a variety of exotic beasts, which made them look like a cavalry team of the wilderness people. Seeing that they were wearing black robes of upper-ranking officers and robes of Xing people, they should be the noble vassal of Xing State and their private army. But when did such a powerful noble vassal appear in the capital of Xing State?
The sharp contrast between the two aspects made Taishu Bingxin suspicious. However, the four tree spirits that looked like dragon claw locust trees exuded a faint pressure that made him feel fearful. He was afraid that each of them was not inferior to the third level.

Considering that the other party has such powerful strength, and yet they still watched the defeat of the tens of thousands of wild folk coalition forces outside Luqiu City without any intention of providing assistance, they should at least not be enemies.

Thinking of this, Taishu Bingxin no longer hesitated. He hung the gilded borer on the horse's back, bowed politely and said in a loud voice: "I am Taishu Bingxin, the commander of the Black Armor Cavalry under the command of Lord Xing. I wonder who you are and why you are near Luqiu?"

Qing Yi also stood on the shoulder of the dragon claw locust tree spirit, bowed and laughed loudly: "It turns out that it is the commander of the Black Armor Cavalry Taishu Bingxin who is here, and I am the senior vassal Guqiu Yi.

Yesterday, an army of 50,000 people from the Great Lake, led by the Black Wind Tribe's priest and the Ghost Witch Tribe's chief witch, invaded the Solitary Hill burial ground with the intention of plundering and slaughtering the people.

After I led my men in a series of fierce battles with them, I killed the Ghost King's Dharmakaya, the Cat Ghost God's servants, the Beast Soul Warriors, and the Ghost Witch Tribe's top witch, and also killed most of the wild folk army. Then I chased the remaining wild folk army all the way to Luqiu.

Unexpectedly, I had the honor to witness the heroic figure of Taishu Commander, who led dozens of black-armored cavalry to defeat tens of thousands of barbarians. He is truly worthy of being the king's personal guard."

Taishu Bingxin should have been happy to be praised by Qing Yi, but he felt something was wrong. He didn't have time to think about it. He laughed and said, "The Black Armor Cavalry has been highly regarded by the rulers for hundreds of years. It is normal for them to defeat tens of thousands of barbarians by using their strength to bully the weak. There is nothing to brag about.
On the contrary, Sergeant Guqiu Yi, with only the power of Sergeant, was able to defeat the coalition of 50,000 wild people and kill the Black Wind Tribe's priest guardian, the Ghost Witch Tribe's senior witch, and other powerful people. This is really admirable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tai Shu Bingxin's face turned dark. He finally realized why he felt strange just now. He was the commander of the Black Armor Cavalry.

What is there to boast about when the Black Armor Cavalry, with such strong overall strength, attacks the coalition of barbarians without any strong men in charge, even if their number is as many as 60,000?

However, this sergeant was given the title of Guqiu Yi. He had only forty private soldiers and a few hundred people under his command. However, he managed to defeat a coalition of fifty thousand wild folks on his own and chased the remaining tens of thousands of wild folks here.

Thinking of this, Taishu Bingxin's face turned even darker. He remembered that before the charge just now, the coalition army of wild people outside Luqiu City had automatically dispersed.

I'm afraid that the tens of thousands of fleeing soldiers have caused this coalition of barbarians to lose their will to fight. In this way, I have gained a lot of advantages from the enemy.

"Pfft-"

At this time, a sneer came from behind Taishu Bingxin.

I saw a young man in his twenties wearing gold and jade on his waist, riding his horse forward from behind Taishu Bingxin and standing side by side with him.

He was riding a sturdy sixth-rank purple colt, and was wearing an extremely exquisite and precious rune-patterned black armor. At first, I thought it was a pattern decorated with gold and silver, but upon closer inspection, it was all carved with various runes for protection, which was not even as good as the armor of Tai Shu Bing Xin.

There was a hint of mockery between his eyebrows: "Commander Taishu, you are too kind and honest. You believe whatever others say!
The Black Wind Tribe's priest guardian, the Ghost Witch Tribe's senior witch, the beast soul warrior, and the cat ghost god servant are all at least third-grade powerhouses. The cat ghost god servant is said to be comparable to a second-grade exotic beast.

In addition, each of these strong men has high-level totem warriors, contracted beasts and escorts, as well as a 50,000-strong coalition of wild people, so how could they be wiped out by a mere sergeant?"

At this point, the elegant young man turned to look at Qing Yi, and said with a rather arrogant look: "If I heard correctly, you are the lower-ranking Yi from Huaiqiu who caused a commotion in the capital at the beginning of the year, right?"

"Yes, I am Yi, a lowly commoner in Huaiqiu. Now I am a high-ranking officer bestowed the title of Guqiu Yi by the king!" Qing Yi said calmly, "Who are you?"

"This is the Emperor of the Great Shen Dynasty's decree that the Lord of Xing State, Xing Hou, has appointed the Minister Xing, whose name is Xing Boyun, to patrol and arrest the bandits in the capital area!"

Behind the elegant young man, a black-armored knight who looked like an attendant read out the full name loudly without stopping, which made people admire his lung capacity.

After being told his identity in such a cool way by his follower, the elegant young man had a seemingly approachable smile on his face, but a strong sense of superiority in his eyes, waiting for the sergeant in front of him to be frightened and bow deeply.

However, Qing Yi, who was standing on the shoulder of the tree spirit, just flicked his ears lightly, as if he was cleaning some dirt, and there was no sign of him coming down to salute.

Then he shook his head and smiled: "You said so much in one breath, I can't hear you clearly, please say it again."
