The clopping of hooves grew closer, and the village descended further into chaos.
"Are those bandits?!"
A middle-aged man hurried out of a house, still holding a hoe in his hand.
"No! It's the Iron Cavalry!"
"It's Chen Chong's Iron Cavalry!"
Several villagers who were closer caught sight of the dust clouds in the distance, their faces turned ashen, their eyes filled with despair... These refugees had roamed across several counties, avoiding chaos of war, and had seen more than their share of "Iron Cavalry".
The quality of the Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry varied.
After Chen Chong took charge.
The Iron Cavalry's rank was determined by the color of their shoulder armor.
The common Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry wore white shoulder armor, followed by green, then purple, and finally red.
And now, charging out of the dust clouds were the ones donning red shoulder armor, the "elite troops"!
Dramatically different from the scouts encountered a few days ago!
