Chapter 62: Brothers of Life and Death

  Ran's right hand tightly grasped the short spear, urging his horse to gallop forward with a loud whip crack. The other cavalrymen also maintained the same movement, crazily charging forward. The rebel troops who were hesitating in front of them were all frightened out of their wits.

  "Charge!" Suddenly a man riding a black tall horse, fully armed, wielding a scimitar, let out a loud shout and charged forward crazily.

  "Kill...!" Dozens of rebels suddenly woke up from their dream, shouting and waving their weapons as they rushed forward frantically.

  "Whoosh......" The short spear in Lain's hand was thrown out, the short spear whizzed through the air and charged forward, the other soldiers' short spears also quickly followed suit.

  "Charge......" Rein drew his sword from his waist and let out a loud shout as he charged forward crazily.

  "Ah... …" The miserable cries came in waves, and it was actually caused by those reinforcements behind.

  Rein swung his saber and led more than 20 cavalrymen, who had not yet engaged in close combat with the enemy, were confused by what had just happened.

  "Halt!" Rein's left hand tightened on the reins, his legs clamped down, and his mount reared up on its front legs, letting out a long whinny as it came to an abrupt stop. He raised his sword high and let out a loud shout.

  "Captain Rennes..." Suddenly, the sound of shouting came from the direction of the Xia Hai Guan Pass, where the so-called rebel reinforcements were rushing towards them.

  "Rades, Little Fatty, Dakota, Rus..." As soon as Rayn saw that the rebel soldiers were his own brothers, he involuntarily shouted their names and urged his horse to gallop towards them. However, the soldiers beside him still maintained a defensive stance, holding crossbows and waiting in formation.

  "xxx, if it weren't for this thing, we would have had a hard time getting here. Pfft..." The hot-tempered Rus tore off the red cloth strip from his head and threw it to the ground, then quickly dismounted and rushed towards Rhein.

  "Big Brother Rus!" Rayn sheathed his sword and leapt off his horse, excitedly rushing over to meet Rus.

  "Renn brothers, we're late, I'm afraid we've startled you!" Russ said tightly embracing Renn, saying with self-blame.

  Dakore, Lades, Xiao Pangzi and Luo Si all gathered around Rayn, their faces extremely excited. These former comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side to the death were once again back by Rayn's side.

  Looking at Rus and others, as well as hundreds of soldiers behind them, Rain felt a mix of emotions.

  "Good brothers, thank you!" Rain said gratefully, patting each of the brothers on the shoulder, his eyes brimming with tears, extremely excited.

  "General Robert has been stationed at the border for over a decade, and yet he ended up like this. We don't want to become pawns for those noble powers to fight for power and interests, sigh..." Russ let out a long sigh, and the other brothers also nodded in agreement.

  "Alas... friends, what's the point of this?" Lain also let out a long sigh, shaking his head in dismay and saying with some resentment.

  "Raine, if it weren't for you, there wouldn't be a Los today. My brothers and I will follow you forever." Los said sincerely, the black giant axe in his hand slamming into the rocky ground with a loud crash, then turning to gaze at the hundreds of soldiers he led.

  "We will follow Captain Rain to the death!" The soldiers shouted in unison, most of whom were strong robbers who survived with Luo Fengshan, and many of them had been rescued by Rain on the battlefield.

  "We'll follow Captain Rain to the death!" Russ and Dakot shouted in unison, the soldiers all echoed their loud cries, a mighty force, shaking the heavens.

  "We'll follow Captain Rain to death!" Radish and Little Fatty shouted in unison, waving their fists.

  "Thank you brothers! Thank you!" Rayn said gratefully.

  "Rennes, this place is not suitable for a long stay, let's leave quickly!" Rusty proposed.

  "Rus, I still have a mission, need to go to Haigouguan to rescue..." Lain's face was difficult, and he whispered.

  "Rhein, have you gone mad? The entire border is in chaos and the Str family has taken control of all the passes. Do you still want to walk into their trap? No way, absolutely not!" Russ said resolutely, with Dakot and others also trying to dissuade Rhein.

  "But I've already promised Yulia that I'd go to Haigou Guan to investigate the whereabouts of her sisters-in-law, I couldn't go back on my word. Besides, Yulia... " Lain explained.

  "I'm just scouting ahead, you take the brothers and find a place to settle down for now, I'll come find you." Rain continued.

  "Alas... Rayn, you..." Russ's words were stuck in his throat, unable to say anything more, he could only helplessly lower his head, turn around and walk away, sighing.

  Ran's temper was also known to these brothers, and as long as he recognized the truth, no one could persuade him.

  "Rus, Captain Raine, let's do this. Not far ahead is the Luofeng Mountain range, and I'm very familiar with that terrain. Why don't we lead our brothers to set up camp there first, then send a few capable men to accompany Captain Raine to Haiyuguan Pass to gather information?" Los suggested at this time.

  "Hmm!" Rayn nodded, and Russ didn't have any objections either, just a helpless sigh.

  Raine quickly gathered General Robert's guards, then under Los' leadership, hundreds of soldiers marched towards Mount Luo Feng.

  Luofeng Mountain is treacherous, with peaks and ridges overlapping, dense forests covering the entire area, and canyons and swamps everywhere. Under Luo's leadership, they successfully reached the old nest of Duan Yaofeng.

  "Captain Raine, take me with you tonight, I'm agile and can climb walls and roofs with ease, hehe, bring me along!" As the deep night arrived, Raine was about to set out when Lades appeared in front of him, wearing a black tight-fitting outfit and grinning.

  "Rades, sneaking into the Sea Valley border defense castle is extremely dangerous, it's not like fighting, don't cause trouble, go rest early!" said Rus who was also wearing a black tight-fitting outfit and was about to head out, with an angry tone.

  "Captain Rus, in the past when I was the 'Phantom Thief' Lads, my shadow appeared in any place in the Imperial Capital, but I never lost. Please take me with you." Lads said proudly, and the little fatty beside him smiled secretly.

  "Ah! Ladd, you're really something else, a heroic thief? You've never slipped up before, how could you be wanted, how could you end up in the borderlands, how...?" Russ's face turned red with rage as he scolded Ladd, growing impatient and urging Rain to hurry along.

  "Hmph, if it weren't for my sworn brother Xiao Pangzi, how would I have escaped from the Imperial Capital... Ah, Xiao Pangzi, brother, forgive me, I shouldn't have brought up those painful past events." Lades explained, and when he saw Xiao Pangzi's angry gaze, he quickly went over to his side with a smile to comfort him.

  "Never mind, Rus. Bring Lades along! He might still come in handy." Rayn said somewhat impatiently, if they continued to drag things out like this, dawn would break soon.

  "Haha, thank you!" Lades beamed with joy and hastily came to Rayn's side. The little fatty had an incredulous expression on his face, followed by a look of regret, it seemed he also intended to go to Haigou Canyon to gather information.

  Dakota, Los, and Xiao Pangzi, as well as Reed, who had just recovered from the arrow wound on his buttocks, stayed behind at Duan Yaofeng. Under the cover of night, Rain, Rus, and Lades rushed to Hai Guan ahead to gather information.
