Nightfall

Shameful to Stick Together, So Choose to Stay

At this time, the morning sun had already climbed into the sky, bringing a trace of rare warmth to the Wilderness. On the meadow, several hundred cavalrymen of Divine Hall stood silently. Their black armor was painted with complicated golden patterns. The complicated armor patterns shone in the sun with a holy glint. The flag in front of the queue stood in the wind and looked very solemn and holy.

This group of cavalry was the world’s famous West-Hill Divine Palace cavalry, also known as Apologetic Divine Forces. After they left West-Hill a few months ago, they reached the frontier fortress in the Wilderness via the capital of Yan Kingdom Capital Cheng. This time, they were ordered by the top of Divine Hall to escort some important bigwigs to the palace for negotiation. It was also the team that Mo Shanshan had talked to Ning Que about.

The night before, they had already seen the warning fireworks shot by the food team camp, and also received the letters in Fu characters for help through other ways. But perhaps because of the danger of being isolated and strange in the Wilderness, the cavalrymen of Divine Hall did not immediately rush to help, but followed the original course, steadily moving forward. Until this moment in this ancient river, they had encountered each other in the meadow valley.

Among the cavalrymen of Divine Hall were more than a dozen Yuelun Kingdom monks, Revelation Institute students, and a horse carriage.

The door opened, and a little foot in blue shoes stepped on the carriage board and walked down. It was the foot of a wrinkled old woman who wore a very strange robe. The robe seemed to consist of innumerable different kinds of fabrics and was so thin that no one knew how it could resist the cold wind in the Wilderness.

It could be considered a kind of trial for the cavalrymen of Divine Hall to escort Revelation Institute students and Yuelun Kingdom White Tower Temple disciples to the palace. And this woman was the leader of this team, for she was the respected Aunt Quni Madi of Yuelun Kingdom.

Because of historical reasons, the relationship between Yuelun Kingdom and Great River Kingdom had always been extremely bad. A few days ago, they had some minor friction over that warm stream in the southern frontier fortress of the North of Yan Kingdom. So Aunt Quni Madi, a very narrow-minded woman according to the rumors, directly ordered through Divine Hall to let the girls of Great River Kingdom Black Ink Garden undertake such a sinister task of sending grains. At this moment, she looked at the sieged Black Ink Garden disciples under the valley and surely had no impulse to rescue them.

However, she was, after all, a Bhadanta and predecessor in the cultivation circle. So she also needed to maintain the dignity and glory of Divine Hall. The meaning was hidden in her narrow, dark heart naturally could not be directly shown in front of all people.

Quni Madi looked at the messy camp below the nearby slanting valley and showed no emotions on her face. Her each wrinkle was replete with the taste of coldness and strangeness, and her voice was hoarse and sharp, making others feel very uncomfortable.

“They could send letters in Fu characters… I don’t know who the Talisman Master is in the grain camp, but I suppose the person has great power and is able to deal with the Horse Gang, at least having the ability of self-protection. We’ve come from afar and if we blindly go to rescue them, it may easily cause damages. I’m afraid we will also affect their defense deployment. So let’s wait here to observe the situation first.”

In the food team camp, not far from the bottom of the meadow, there were dead bodies on the ground full of flowing blood, and the horse carriage array that was about to collapse. The Horse Gang on the northeastern gentle slope had already assembled for the next assault. Everyone knew that people in the camp could not stick it out any longer. Quni Madi said those words, as if talking nonsense. However, those White Tower Temple monks and Revelation Institute students seemed to have not heard what she was saying.
