## Chapter 22: Attacking the Tribe
The Red Horn Wilderness is a deste wastnd located over two hundred kilometers north of ck Stone City.
nts 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 ck 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 ck Scale Lizardfolk invade ck Stone City’s territory, plundering enough food to survive the winter and, along the way, reducing the excessive poption of their tribe.
ck 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 ck 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 ckrock Beast, had a face full of excitement.The surrounding knights also had a look of eagerness.
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, ck Stone City’s current army has expanded to a thousand people.
This doesn’t include the militia.
Military strength,pared tost 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 ckrock Beasts.
However,pared to the ckrock Beasts of the cavalry regiment, the ckrock Beasts that the two rode looked more robust and towering, with a more profound body sheen.
**[ckrock Beast (Puppet/High-Rank Knight Level), a puppet creature made from ck Stone Iron, with a body harder than ck Stone Iron, possessing the ability to lurk in the ck Stone Iron veins, and can replenish energy and heal injuries by consuming ck Stone Iron.]**
This is a refined ckrock Beast that Su Nan synthesized using seven ckrock Beasts.
Each one has the fighting ability of a High-Rank Knight, and their bodies are even harder, even weapons made from ck Stone Iron can only leave a shallow mark on them.
Kei was fond of this refined ckrock 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 deste.
After another half-hour journey, the scout in charge of reconnaissance returned, shouting, “Sir, the ck Scale Lizardfolk tribe is about two kilometers ahead.” ?
“Good.”
Kei’s spirit lifted, and he ordered in a deep voice.
“Everyone, elerate, prepare for battle!”
As the order was issued, the speed of the team immediately increased.
Not long after, the ck 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
With the approach of over five hundred soldiers, the ck Scale Lizardfolk, not being blind, naturally could not have failed to notice.
By the time the army arrived, hundreds of ck Scale Lizardfolk, armed with weapons, had gathered in front of their tribe, staring at the approaching enemy with fierce eyes.
The ck Scale Lizardfolk can be considered a tribe where everyone is a soldier. Even women and children havebat abilities that are not inferior to normal adult men.
Adult ck Scale Lizardfolk have a strength levelparable to Knight Attendants.
A few elite ck Scale Lizardfolk can reach the level of Probationary Knights.
If there are ancestral reversions, ck Scale Lizardfolk who have awakened a trace of Dragon Lizard bloodline are even able topete 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 ck Scale Lizardfolk.
The one at the head, nearly eight feet tall, exuding a fierce and violent aura, gave Su Nan a feeling simr to Kei’s.
Remember that justst month, Kei had already been promoted to Peak Knight.
In other words, this ck Scale Lizardfolk, who is suspected to be the tribal chief, may possess Peak Knight-level strength.
Besides, there were clearly over two hundred ck 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 mmed into the ck Scale Lizardfolk’s defenses like arrows!
In an instant, blood sttered, and limbs flew!
The battle erupted instantly and quickly escted 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 ckrock Beasts had their first real taste of battle.
Thebat effectiveness they disyed did not disappoint.
Even though the ck Scale Lizardfolk could withstand the weapons swung by the cavalry, they were quickly torn open in the chest and abdomen by the sharp ws of the ckrock Beasts.
They were no longer facing individual cavalrymen but a joint attack of cavalry and ckrock Beasts.
This waspletely different from the cavalry armies they had faced in the past.
The information gap, which appeared initially, unexpectedly resulted in heavy losses for the ck 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 ckrock 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 ckrock 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 ck Stone City’s enemies.
Su Nan withdrew his gaze, nced 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 sybles, and a basketball-sized ball of acid quickly condensed in front of him. As his finger extended, it shot towards a Knight-level ck 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 Ssh.
Sizzle!
The ck Scale Lizardfolk didn’t expect an attack toe from afar, and he was caught off guard, hit by the acid on his face.
In just an instant, the acid corroded arge hole on the ck Scale Lizardfolk’s face, all five senses were corroded, leaving only a pitch-ck cavity, even the bones inside were corroded quite a bit.
The ck Scale Lizardfolk twitched and fell to the ground, it was clear that he was dead.
The terrifying power of the Acid Ssh made the surrounding ck Scale Lizardfolk’s scalp tingle.
For a while, the ck Scale Lizardfolk all looked at Su Nan with deep fear in their eyes.
They weren’t afraid of human des and fists, but this strange and terrifying attack was beyond their understanding.
What kind of power is this?
