Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 109: Night Cavalry
Hakan looked towards the direction where the sound came from, but it was pitch black at night and he could not see anything clearly.

"Then, what is that?"

Burke was very scared. He was not a warrior and had nothing to do with fighting and killing.

"I don't know, maybe someone was attacked by some wild beast."

Hakan hesitated; it was already night.

The borderland is very dangerous at night, as there are many wild animals active in the wild, and legend has it that there are strange things that only appear at night.

Logically, they shouldn't go over to see it now.

However, the task assigned to them by Bai Shi also included patrolling. It would be a bit unreasonable if they were nearby but didn't go to check the situation.

Moreover, there seems to be nothing to be afraid of, as they have so many compatriots here.

You don't need to go all of them. Just bring a few dozen people with you and there will be no enemy in Nimgfu's territory that cannot be dealt with.

Hakan called thirty or forty of his compatriots and asked the rest of them to take Burke back to the camp to rest.

He planned to go and investigate to see if he could rescue the unlucky guy who had been attacked.

But they did not underestimate the enemy just because they had so many people. Originally, only a few people were holding one torch, but now almost everyone had lit the torch.

The fire illuminated the darkness and also dispelled the vague uneasiness in my heart.

Hakan quickly ran through the team from front to back, making sure everyone was ready before giving the order.

"Are you all ready? Let's go and see what's going on."

The huge team rushed towards the place where the screams came from. Under the illumination of the fire, the Kaidan mercenaries were on guard against the possible dangers behind their compatriots.

Unexpectedly, following the screams, everyone came to the main road.

Hakan's face did not look very good. There were braziers on both sides of the avenue, and ordinary wild beasts would not attack pedestrians nearby.

Either it was a terrifying beast like the Rune Bear, or a villain so arrogant as to attack people on the street.

Even if they can take them down, these enemies are likely to cause casualties to the team.

However, when Hakan and his companions arrived, they found that they were wrong, extremely wrong.

This was definitely not an enemy they could handle.

Even if we bring along other compatriots who didn't come, it will only increase casualties.

Four figures, all in black armor and riding horses covered in black robes, were killing without any regard on the road.

By the avenue, just to find more faded ones.

They charged and killed their way through the hundreds of Faded Ones, and the ground was already littered with corpses.

The Kaidan mercenaries used to travel around everywhere, so their information might not be very sensitive and accurate, but they were quite familiar with various rumors.

They quickly matched each other's identity with one of the rumors.

They are nightmares that pursue fear.

It is the god of death that extinguishes courage in the darkness of night.

They are the Night Riders.

A powerful knight who is said to follow evil omen demons and rides a funeral horse, and is the god of death on the battlefield.

There were people among the Faded Ones who wielded weapons to fight back, but often before the weapons fell, the people were already lifted into the air and fell heavily to the ground, with no telling whether they were alive or dead.

The Night Riders were too strong, and the Faded Ones' morale was crushed by their first charge.

However, the Night Cavalry showed no mercy to the Faded Ones who were fleeing everywhere. They used the mobility of the cavalry to catch up and eliminate them one by one, as if they wanted to kill all of them.

Hakan swallowed, suppressed the fear in his heart, and ordered the Kaidan mercenaries to interfere and help the Faded Ones escape.

Then Hakan whistled to the sky, and a storm eagle circled above his head. Without taking out a pen and paper to write down the information, he shouted directly to the storm eagle:
"Fly back to Stonewell quickly and find Bai Shi, Elissa, Crucible Knight, anyone will do! Bring them here directly!"

The mercenaries were only slightly stronger than Greg's soldiers, and could only rely on their mobility to pull away when facing the knights.

Although Hakan is stronger, he can only barely beat the knight in foot combat.

Even if the Night Riders were slightly weaker than the tree guards they saw that day, it would be enough to kill them all given enough time.

What's more, it is not certain who is stronger between the Night Cavalry and the Tree Guards.

Seeing the Storm Eagle flying into the sky, Hakan breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, a tragic eagle cry was heard in the dark night sky.

The storm eagle from before seemed to be hit by something and fell from the sky, landing at Hakan's feet, motionless.

The white wolf bared its teeth and growled in one direction. Hakan looked over and saw a dark figure slowly appearing on the hillside, followed by the second and the third...

Six more Night Riders arrived.

When the Kaidan mercenaries arrived at the battlefield, the Night Cavalry immediately discovered them and contacted their companions around them through their secret communication method.

They came here with an important mission and could not leave any witnesses behind.

If there were only four of them, some of the Kaidan mercenaries on horseback might slip through the net.

Without any communication, the Night Riders charged down the mountain in unison, their primary target being the Kaidan mercenaries.

Hakan's heart sank, so he raised his sword and rushed towards the Night Riders.
-
Under the crushing of absolute strength, struggling is futile.

Soon Hakan was the only one left on the field, struggling to hold on. His horse and white wolf were seriously injured and had fallen to the ground, dying.

They tried their best to kill one of the Night Riders, but the remaining nine were an insurmountable chasm for them.

A Night Rider stood opposite Hakan, his horse having been wounded and unable to be ridden.

The rest of the Night Riders ignored Hakan and turned to clean up the battlefield.

Look for enemies that haven't died on the spot, and finish them off one by one.

"Whoosh-"

Hakan felt that he was going to die today, but it would be nice if he could take someone with him before he died.

So he concentrated and carefully observed every move of the Night Cavalry on the opposite side.

"Why did you come to Nimgefu? Who sent you?"

The other party ignored him and silently swung his halberd towards Hakan.

Hakan held his sword horizontally to block the attack from bottom to top, but the huge force almost blew away his sword and the person along with it.

Just as Hakan was congratulating himself for blocking the attack, a gray phantom appeared behind the Night Rider and repeated his actions, striking the same spot.

Hakan's sword broke into two pieces, and the armor on his chest was pierced, leaving a huge wound.

Hakan fell to his knees in disbelief.

What exactly is this gray figure that suddenly appeared?
Before he could come up with an answer, his consciousness gradually became blurred.

But at the last moment before his consciousness faded, he felt a terrifying pressure.

There was also an angry voice.

"Night Riders, you are finished..."

　The dormitory door was locked, I climbed over the wall and luckily I made it in time ('')
