The group entered the forest. Rather than rushing onward, they stopped to rest first.
The forest was completely safe. They took off their armor, lit a fire, warmed some jerky and food, ate, then lay down directly on the ground to sleep.
Several hours later, once everyone was up, Li Qinwu finally led them onward.
He had a premonition that they would soon reach the primitive age, reach the Initial Station, and escape this creation of the Warp!
"Stay close! Don't fall behind! Who knows what the next era will be!"
Li Qinwu shouted, arranged the formation, and then led them out of the forest along the Gravity Track!
When the view ahead suddenly opened up, Li Qinwu was just about to observe the era they had entered when a long cavalry lance and an exceptionally powerful galloping warhorse came straight at him!
Mounted on the horse was a warrior clad head to toe in lamellar armor. A red plume hung from his rounded helmet—a typical East Asian style of armor!
And behind this mounted warrior were a full hundred similarly equipped cavalrymen. Every one of them wore identical armor and carried identical weapons. Their uniformity made it clear that this was a highly professional army!
Li Qinwu and his group's sudden emergence from the forest startled the cavalry. They thought their flanking force had been discovered, so they immediately spurred their horses faster and charged at Li Qinwu's group!
Li Qinwu was startled, but quickly reacted. Gripping his longsword with both hands, he twisted aside to evade the cavalry lance, then slashed sideways!
The greatsword instantly cut through the warhorse's neck and struck the rider, dismembering both horse and man together!
In an instant, horse and rider became scattered chunks, spraying past Li Qinwu's side!
