"Boom boom boom!" Armour bumping up and down, hooves stamping madly, squadrons of black armored cavalrymen moving unhindered at breakneck speed, causing loud noises on the public road.

As fast as lightning, the trees on both sides of the Lion's Ridge were blown away by the wind created by the Black Armored Soldiers, causing large amounts of leaves to fall to the ground.

The horse's hooves brushed past the leaves on the ground, which instantly turned into dust. It was a pity that it was too powerful. One could tell how fast it was. Even the public road was trembling from the shock.

After a short while, the black-armored cavalry passed through the Lion's Ridge and arrived outside of Shattered Leaf City. At this moment, the guards of Shattered Leaf City, who were about to be put under curfew, subconsciously closed the city gates when they saw the cavalrymen howling from outside.

However, just as he was about to take action, a loud shout rang out, "Who dares to obstruct the Black Armored Army entering the city?!"

The soldiers guarding the city were not members of the Black Armored Army, but local soldiers of Shattered Leaf City. However, he knew that since the Black Armored Army had recently entered the city, ordinary soldiers like himself, who were unrelated, basically didn't dare to provoke the Black Armored Army.

"Damn it! Where did the Black Armored Army come from?!" The city guard cursed under his breath but did not continue to close the gates. He could not afford to offend the Black Armored Army.

Moreover, he would act according to his will once he met the Black Armored Army. This was an order issued by the higher-ups, and he didn't have the guts to go against them. Moreover, he recognized the leader of the Black Armored Cavalry. It was the Black Armored Army's general, Hong Lei.

He was a god of death, a person who could kill without a word. He didn't dare to make a move, because if he was killed carelessly, there wouldn't even be a single person who would retrieve his corpse, let alone seek justice for him.

The city guards didn't dawdle. After hearing Hong Lei's words, they immediately opened the gates to the city and let the black-armored cavalry into the city. The entire black armored cavalryman lowered his body and closed the distance between him and the warhorse. Then, he dashed forward at an extremely fast speed.

He also rode a horse. He knew that this action was to increase the speed of his horse. He sighed in his heart. What happened to the black armored cavalry? Why are they riding so fast? Are they crazy?

He could only grumble in the dark. On the surface, he didn't dare to say these words. He shook his head and waited until all the Black Armored Soldiers had entered the city before slowly closing the city gates.

The heavy city gate looked simple and elegant under the moonlight. It was grand and dignified. The mottled marks on the gate seemed to record hundreds of years of its history. It had settled down over time and no one would be able to hear it.

The black-armored cavalry madly dashed all the way without stopping. They entered the city in the blink of an eye, and after determining their bearings in the blink of an eye, they headed towards the Black Armored Army's Southern Army camp in Shattered Leaf City.

At the same time, within the southern camp of the Black Armored Army.

Li Jun straightened her clothes and smoothed out some of her wrinkles. Her face was full of seriousness as she stood at the entrance of the Black Armored Army's Southern Battalion. Several janissaries stood beside her.

Their gazes shifted to the north. Just like that, they continued standing in the cold wind, waiting for Hong Lei to arrive.

As for the other black-armored soldiers, they each held their own duties and did whatever they needed to do. There was not a trace of panic or stagnation. The entire southern army camp was operating as usual and was brightly lit.

Before long, the deafening sound of hooves could be heard as dust flew into the air. Although it was night time, one could still see yellow sand filling the sky. The black-armored cavalry had arrived.

Li Gang let out a light cough, and the janissaries immediately turned serious. They stood straight in front of the black-armored cavalry without the slightest bit of impatience or uneasiness.

"Stop!" The black armored cavalrymen quickly arrived at the entrance of the southern base camp. Hong Lei was riding at the front while the other cavalrymen were following behind him. When he saw someone at the entrance of the base camp, he ordered his horse to stop.

"Phew." When all the black-armored cavalry heard Hong Lei's order, they also immediately stopped and obeyed.

"Your subordinate Li Gang greets the general!" Li Gang took a few steps forward and walked in front of Hong Lei, performing a military salute. However, his attitude was extremely humble.

Hong Lei sat on his horse and lowered his head to look at Li Gang. He said coldly, "I heard that you kidnapped Ge Jun and committed a crime against your superiors. Do you want to rebel?"

So that was the reason. Not long ago, that black armored cavalry soldier had dashed over to Hong Lei and told him about this news.

Not long after Hong Lei left the Southern Army Headquarters, Li Gang had tied up Ge Jun and dragged him into the prison. Although Ge Jun was Hong Lei's aide, he was usually arrogant and domineering, with very few people liking him.

But who knew what method Ge Jun had used to bribe a black-armored cavalry soldier to bring the news to Hong Lei at the first possible moment? He added fuel to the fire and told Hong Lei that Li Gang wanted to rebel.

Internal strife had always been a taboo in the military, not to mention the Black Armored Army. If something were to happen within the army, it would be disastrous. Therefore, as the general of the Black Armored Army, Hong Lei would naturally be held responsible.

As a result, Hong Lei gave up on his advantage and continued to fight against Xue Duan and Qu Rong. Instead, he chose to withdraw his troops and return to the Shattered Leaf City to settle this matter.

"This subordinate doesn't dare. This subordinate is only angry at that Ge Jun." Li Gang arrived with a sense of righteousness, "that Ge Jun is sitting in the position of an adjutant. Yet you dare to be so unreasonable as to bully the soldiers? That is something that no one can accept. "

"If we ignore such vermin, how can we deal with them? How can we deal with them?" Li Gang put on a righteous face, "Therefore, your subordinate has secretly collected all of Ge Jun's crimes, please take a look at it."

Li Gang walked forward and handed over the small paper he had thrown to Ge Jun. "This subordinate acted without asking the general to do so, and I also know that I have violated military discipline. Therefore, I ask the General to punish me."

"No!" The janissaries behind Li Gang all shouted out, "Please be clear General, my lord is definitely sincere in helping the Black Armored Army and is not the slightest bit disrespectful."

"What my lord said is true. That Ge Jun really committed many evil deeds. Please be careful, General!" The janissaries continued to plead.

"There's no need for that. I will take responsibility for what I do. I am willing to accept the punishment." Li Gang organized his personal guards and spoke again.

As for Hong Lei, he did not say a word. His face was dark as he finished reading the small note that Li Gang handed to him. Then, he slowly said, "Assistant, Ge Jun, deceives you. His crime is grave, he shall be executed immediately."

Hong Lei looked at Li Gang who knelt on one knee and continued, "Centurion Li Gang is upright and unscrupulous. He dares to do something. I am promoting you to the position of a new adjutant, in charge of leading the southern army camp! "

After he finished speaking, Hong Lei walked past Li Gang and the others without even looking at anyone and headed straight into the camp.

The black-armored cavalrymen behind him all stared at him with wide eyes, but they didn't say anything. Just like Hong Lei, they bypassed Li Gang and the others and entered the South Barracks.

When everyone had entered, Li Gang's expression changed a few times; it could be said that he was extremely rich.
