Chapter 22 Attacking the Tribe
The Red Horn Wilderness is a wasteland located more than 200 kilometers north of Black Rock City.

There are few plants in the wilderness and water is hard to find. There are only many rugged rocks shaped like red pointed horns, which is where the name Red Horn Wilderness comes from.

Due to the harsh environment, there are no other intelligent creatures in the Red Horn Wilderness except the Black Scaled Lizardmen.

It is precisely because it is difficult to find enough food in the Red Horn Wilderness that every winter, the Black Scaled Lizardmen invade the territory of Black Rock City, plundering enough food to survive the winter and consuming the excess tribal population.

Everyone in Blackrock City hates this barbaric race that is predatory in nature and brings disaster to the city every year.

Therefore, when Key ordered a raid on the Black Scale Lizardmen tribe, he immediately received a fanatical response from the knights.

"I've been annoyed with those lizard bandits for a long time. I must kill them today!"

Jodon rode on the Black Rock Leopard with an excited look on his face.

The knights around also looked ready to fight.

Due to the importance of this war, Key not only dispatched the newly formed cavalry regiment, but also dispatched 500 soldiers.

With sufficient gold support, Blackrock City's army has now expanded to a thousand people.

This does not include the militia.

Compared with last year, the military strength has increased several times.

The cavalry regiment was in front and the infantry followed behind, a long team of more than 500 people marched in an orderly manner across the wilderness.

Keyi and Sunan were in the middle of the team, each riding a black rock leopard.

But compared with the Black Rock Leopards of the Cavalry Regiment, the Black Rock Leopards the two men were riding looked more robust and taller, with a more secluded and darker luster.

[Black Rock Leopard (Puppet/Advanced Knight Level), a puppet creature made of black stone iron. Its body is stronger than black stone iron and it has the ability to sneak in black stone iron ore veins. It can replenish energy and recover from injuries by devouring black stone iron.]

This is the elite Black Rock Leopard that Sunan created using seven Black Rock Leopards.

Each of them has the combat power of a high-level knight, and their bodies are even harder. Even weapons made of black stone iron can only leave a shallow mark on them.

Key couldn't let go of this elite black rock leopard and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with his mount.

As we go deeper into the Red Horn Wilderness, the surrounding environment becomes more desolate.

After another half an hour of traveling, the scout in charge of exploration came back and said loudly, "Sir, the Black Scale Lizardmen's tribe is about two kilometers ahead."

"very good."

Key's spirits perked up, and he gave the order in a deep voice.

"Everyone speed up and get ready for battle!"

As the order was given, the team's marching speed suddenly increased.

Before long, the tribe of black-scaled lizardmen came into view.

It is called a tribe, but in fact it is just a number of low houses made of hay and wood surrounded by wooden fences, which are primitive and backward everywhere.

An army of more than 500 people was approaching, and the Black-Scaled Lizardmen were not blind, so it was impossible for them not to notice.

When the army arrived, hundreds of black-scaled lizardmen had already gathered in front of the tribe with weapons in hand, staring fiercely at the incoming enemies.

The Black-Scaled Lizardmen can be described as a tribe where every member is a soldier. Even women and children have fighting capabilities that are no less than those of normal adult men.

Adult black-scaled lizardmen have strength comparable to that of knights' squires.

A small number of elite black-scaled lizardmen can reach the level of apprentice knights.

If a black-scaled lizardman experiences atavism and awakens a trace of dragon lizard blood, he will be able to compete with the knight.

Standing at the front, there are more than a dozen knight-level black-scaled lizardmen with red lines on their scales, obviously awakening the dragon lizard bloodline.

The black-scaled lizard man in the lead, who was nearly two meters and five meters tall and exuded a fierce and violent aura, gave Su Nan an aura that was almost the same as Keyi.

You should know that just last month, Key was promoted to the top knight.

In other words, this black-scaled lizardman who was suspected to be the chief of the tribe was likely to have the strength of a peak knight. In addition, the number of black-scaled lizardman warriors holding weapons was obviously more than two hundred.

The number of people may be less than theirs, but their individual strength is higher, not lower.

It doesn't seem so easy to win this battle.

However, both Key and his knights were fearless and in high spirits.

Just because there is a wizard standing behind them!
While running, all the cavalrymen of the cavalry regiment took out the medicine at the same time, pushed open the wooden cork with their thumbs, and poured it into their mouths with their heads tilted back.

Brute force potion!

A zero-level potion that can greatly enhance strength!
For this battle, Sunan made more than 60 bottles of medicine in one go and equipped each member of the cavalry regiment with one bottle.

With the help of the brute force potion, even an apprentice knight can exert strength that is not much inferior to that of a formal knight!
"charge!"

Kai drew his sword and shouted loudly.

With him leading the way, the cavalry regiment crashed into the black-scaled lizardmen's defense line like sharp arrows!
In an instant, blood splattered and limbs flew everywhere!
The battle broke out in an instant and quickly became intense.

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

This was the first time that the cavalry regiment, which used Black Rock Leopards as mounts, actually went into battle since its formation.

The fighting power they displayed did not disappoint.

Even if the black-scaled lizardmen could resist the weapons cut down by the cavalry, their chests and abdomens would soon be torn apart by the sharp claws of the black rock leopards.

What they were facing was no longer a single individual cavalryman, but a joint attack of the cavalry and the Black Rock Leopard.

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

As expected, the lack of information at the first meeting caused the Black Scaled Lizardmen to suffer heavy losses.

Sunan stood in the back, looking at the battlefield and nodding secretly.

There seems to have never been an example of taming exotic beasts as mounts in this world.

At least there has never been such a thing in the Principality of Stars.

Therefore, it is easy for people who are facing the Black Rock Leopard Cavalry, an unprecedented type of troops, to make mistakes when they are facing it for the first time.

On the ever-changing battlefield, a wrong response often means death.

The number of Black Rock Leopard Cavalry is still relatively small. Once this army is expanded into a truly large-scale cavalry regiment, it will surely bring a huge "surprise" to the enemies of Black Rock City.

Sunan withdrew his gaze, looked at Brad who was standing by, and sighed slightly in his heart.

He still had to be promoted to a second-class wizard apprentice as soon as possible, otherwise he would always be a fragile wizard and would need someone to protect him on the battlefield.

Shaking his head, Sunan gathered his thoughts and uttered strange syllables. The void in front of him quickly condensed into a basketball-sized acid. As he extended his fingers, it flew towards a knight-level black-scaled lizard man like a sharp arrow.

The Mage's Hand is not long enough and is not suitable for use on the battlefield at this time.

Therefore, Sunan chose to use acid splash.

Chi Chi!

The black-scaled lizard man had never expected an attack to come from a distance, and was caught off guard and hit in the face by acid.

In just a moment, the acid corroded a big hole on the black-scaled lizardman's face. All the facial features were corroded, leaving only a big black hole. Even the bones inside were corroded a lot.

The black-scaled lizard man fell to the ground twitching, and it was obvious that he was dead.

The terrifying power of the acid splashing made the surrounding black-scaled lizardmen's scalps tingle.

For a moment, the black-scaled lizardman looked at Su Nan with deep fear in his eyes.

They are not afraid of human blades and fists, but this strange and terrifying attack is beyond their cognition and understanding.

What exactly is this power?
