On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

"Pursuers?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, and instead of showing any tension, a playful smile appeared on his face.

"How many people are there? Have you figured out which unit of troops they are?"

"Reporting to Your Highness," the scout gasped, his voice still tinged with shock, "There aren't many, probably around two thousand, all cavalry, and they're very fast! Judging by their banners, they should be the Wolf Riders, the personal guards of the Northern Desert King!"

"Wolf Rider?"

Upon hearing those two words, a chilling killing intent flashed in Murong Yan's beautiful phoenix eyes.

It was this invincible, fearless monster army that caused her to lose nearly five thousand elite soldiers, and almost cost her her life on the cliff.

She always remembers this grudge.

"Husband, shall we fight?"

Her voice was clear and cold, yet it carried an uncontrollable fighting spirit.

The phoenix-headed spear in her hand emitted a slight hum, as if it too sensed its master's killing intent and became somewhat impatient.

"Fight, of course we should fight."

Lin Zhen smiled, looking at his Empress, who seemed to be injected with adrenaline at the mere mention of "wolf riders," her eyes filled with doting affection.

"Why wouldn't you eat the meat that's offered to you?"

He turned his head and looked around at the surrounding terrain. He was currently in a rolling sand dune area with complex terrain, full of ravines and depressions where he could hide.

This is practically a battlefield born for ambushes.

"Give me the order."

Lin Zhen's lips curled into a smile, a smile full of confidence and calculation.

"The entire army dismounted and took cover on the spot."

"Today, we will let the King of the Northern Desert taste what it's like to be bitten by his own most elite troops."

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, the 1,500 elite cavalrymen of the Great Qian Dynasty immediately carried out Lin Zhen's orders.

They were like a group of the most experienced old hunters, disappearing silently into those seemingly ordinary sand dunes.

……

Half an hour later.

A heavily armored cavalry unit, entirely clad in black, appeared on the horizon.

Each of their soldiers was clad in heavy black plate armor, with a hideous demon mask on their face, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with a scarlet, menacing light.

And the mounts they rode were even more terrifying.

That wasn't a warhorse, but a giant wolf even bigger than a calf!

Those giant wolves were also covered in heavy armor. Their limbs were thick and powerful, and they ran silently yet as fast as lightning.

Sharp fangs gleamed with a chilling light in the morning sun.

This is the Northern Desert Wolf Cavalry that defeated Li Jing's army!

Leading the group was a particularly burly wolf rider general.

His name was Agudamu, the most trusted personal guard commander of the Northern Desert King, and the supreme commander of the entire Wolf Cavalry force.

At this moment, he was riding on a white giant wolf, which was larger than the other war wolves. His eyes, hidden behind the demon mask, were vigilantly scanning everything around him.

"General, we've been chasing them all night, and we haven't seen a single ghost."

A lieutenant approached him, his voice tinged with impatience.

"Those rats from the Great Qian Dynasty run way too fast. Could they have already run far away?"

"impossible."

Agudamu shook his head. His voice was hoarse and low, like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing against each other.

"I can smell it; their scent still lingers in the air."

As he spoke, he patted the head of the giant white wolf he was riding.

The giant wolf immediately let out a low growl, its eerie green eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light.

"They are nearby."

Agudamu's gaze fell upon the rolling sand dunes not far away.

It looked peaceful there.

But his battle-hardened intuition told him that beneath that calm lay deadly danger.

"Pass down the order: all troops are on alert, slow down, and advance in a fan shape to search and advance."

"Yes!"

The two thousand wolf riders immediately changed formation, like a giant black fishing net being spread out, slowly encircling the sand dune.

Every step was taken with utmost care.

However, after searching the entire dune area, they still found nothing.

Apart from a few piles of still-warm campfires and some discarded, empty water bags, there was no other trace left by the Daqian army.

"General, it seems they really have escaped."

The lieutenant approached Agudamu again, his voice tinged with disappointment.

Agudamu did not speak.

He rolled off the giant white wolf, walked to a campfire, squatted down, picked up a bit of still-warm ash, held it under his nose, and gently smelled it.

"wrong."

His brows furrowed tightly.

"The smell of these ashes is very fresh; they must have left here no more than an hour ago."

"But we've already searched the entire area," the lieutenant said, looking puzzled.

"unless……"

A chilling glint suddenly flashed in Agudamu's eyes.

"They didn't leave at all!"

He suddenly stood up, his eyes, hidden beneath the demon mask, fixed intently on the seemingly ordinary sandy ground beneath his feet.

"They're...underground!"

"what?!"

The lieutenant was stunned when he heard this.

at this time.

A sudden change occurs!

boom--! ! !

A loud bang suddenly erupted from beneath their feet!

The entire sand dune trembled violently!

Countless Daqian soldiers, who had been lying in ambush beneath the sand, burst forth from the soft sand like demons crawling out of hell!

The long swords in their hands gleamed with a cold, icy light in the morning glow!

He slashed fiercely at the wolf riders who were still in shock!

"kill--!!"

The deafening battle cries instantly engulfed the entire sand dune!

This was a perfectly planned ambush!

Those once-arrogant wolf riders were thrown into disarray the moment they faced this sudden attack from underground.

Although the war wolves they rode were brave, they couldn't exert any advantage in this close-quarters melee.

On the contrary, because of its enormous size, it became the best target for the soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Pfft——!

Pfft——!

Pfft——!

Countless long knives plunged viciously into the wolf's soft belly!

Hot blood gushed out like a fountain!

The entire sand dune was dyed a shocking crimson!

"Ow-!!"

The mournful howls of wolves rose and fell.

Even those ruthless warriors, who are usually incredibly fierce, can feel fear when faced with death.

They began to struggle frantically, trying to shake off their enemies.

At this moment, the entire wolf rider formation completely collapsed.

"Stay calm! Everyone stay calm!"

Agudamu looked at the hellish scene before him and let out a hysterical roar.

He swung his massive battle axe and cleaved a Daqian soldier, armor and all, in two as he attempted to ambush him!

Then, riding his equally bloodthirsty white giant wolf, he charged madly towards the battlefield that was already in chaos!

He wanted to use the most violent means to completely tear these ants who dared to ambush him to shreds!

Before he could take more than a few steps, a cold voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Your opponent is me."

Agudamu suddenly turned around and saw a man dressed in black casual clothes who had appeared behind him without him noticing.

The man just watched him quietly.

"It's you!"

A raging fire instantly ignited in Agudamu's eyes!

He recognized the man!

It was he who, in the Hadan tribe, beheaded Batu with a single stroke!

"Die to me!"

Agudamu let out a wild, beast-like roar!

The massive battle axe in his hand drew a destructive arc through the air!

He slashed fiercely at the Eastern man, who in his eyes was no different from a dead man!

He wants to avenge Batu!

He wanted to use this man's blood to wash away the shame of the warriors of the northern desert!

However, this was a terrifying axe strike, powerful enough to split a mountain in two.

Lin Zhen was too lazy to even move.

He simply watched quietly as the brute charged madly toward him, his eyes filled with contempt and... pity.
