Chapter 706 - 215: [First Battle] (6300)
As a rain of arrows descended, in the battle area, both the human cavalry and the fierce beast race’s foot soldiers fell like harvested wheat!
Finally, on the left side of the battlefield, a team of Thunder Beast riders broke through the obstruction of the cannon fodder, charging toward the wooden mountain on the left!
The rider on the back of the Thunder Beast swiftly tossed out leather bags, which cracked open upon landing on the wooden mountain, spilling a black, oil-like fluid onto it.
After dozens of Thunder Beasts roared past, some riders abandoned their long swords or long axes, grabbed bows and arrows, and ignited the arrowheads with flames...
When several flaming arrows struck the wooden mountain, the towering structure of over ten meters was quickly ignited under the flickering lights of the flames! The black oil-like fluid sprayed on it became the best fuel, turning the towering wooden mountain into a gigantic torch!
The slaughter on the battlefield continued as the Thunder Beasts turned towards the next wooden mountain, plunging back into the mire of cannon fodder, struggling, fighting, biting...
As the second wooden mountain also turned into a roaring torch, the Thunder Beast rider team on the battlefield had already lost more than half, even those lucky enough to still be on the backs of the Thunder Beasts had arrows sticking out of much of their armor.
But at that moment, as the second wooden mountain was set ablaze, the suppression and absorption of primordial energy by the two wooden mountains vanished, and the Heaven and Earth primordial qi began to flow again, even if it was just a trickle.
The knights on the Thunder Beasts let out excited shouts!
With the restoration of primordial qi, the riders on the Thunder Beasts erupted with astonishing power!
Flashes of spell light burst forth across the battlefield!
Some reached out to cast spells, sweeping countless sharp waves in a storm towards the fierce beast race’s ranks ahead!
Others chanted incantations, unleashing several flying swords from their bodies, piercing through the chests of numerous fierce beast warriors in an instant!
Some transformed directly into warriors shrouded in golden light, swinging their long axes in a broad sweep!
Under the Golden Light Technique, the Thunder Beast riders seemed impervious to blades or spears, and their long axes grew several times in size, sweeping across like a magical artifact, reaping the lives of the fierce beast race.
On the battlefield, the remaining cannon fodder of the fierce beast race seemed almost completely annihilated in an instant!
The Thunder Beast cavalry, shouting and charging forward.
The third wooden mountain was set aflame, followed by the fourth!
The restoration of Heaven and Earth primordial energy accelerated!
When the last cannon fodder of the fierce beast race was cut down, the four blazing wooden mountains on the side of the battlefield seemed to cast a fiery glow over every Thunder Beast’s body.
The remaining Thunder Beast riders quickly regrouped.
The leader was still that individual with two blood-red feathers on his helmet—though the spot where the Thunder Beast rider of that beast once sat was now vacant, likely killed in action. The figure with the long feathers grasped the reins with one hand, wielding a long axe in the other.
With a whistle, the Thunder Beasts lined up, charging straight for the fierce beast race’s camp!
Flames and flying swords were unleashed, accompanied by the thunderous sound of hooves as the Thunder Beast cavalry quickly reached the front of the camp!
Bursts of spell-cast flames, fierce winds, and crisscrossing sword qi immediately tore apart the elite fierce beast archers guarding the camp’s perimeter!
Then the Thunder Beast riders pressed forward, charging into the camp!
The fierce beast leader once seated on a wooden carriage had already retreated to an unknown location amid the wooden cart’s movement.
The Thunder Beast cavalry had penetrated deep into the camp! The camp was filled with the deafening sounds of clashing and shouting!
Despite the stubborn resistance of the fierce beast race within the camp, with the primordial qi beginning to flow again in this area, a vast gulf in strength emerged between the sides!
The fierce beast race, relying on brute strength and physicality, seemed powerless against the Thunder Beast riders enhanced by spells and divine techniques!
No matter how strong the physique, nor how ferocious the warrior, when facing the cold, rampant sweeping of flying swords, they were often cut down along with their weapons in the blink of an eye!
Like a hot knife slicing through butter, the entire camp was split into two by the sharp charge of the Thunder Beast cavalry!
Soon flames appeared within the camp, tents were set ablaze, and fierce beast warriors hit by spells ran wildly, engulfed in flames...
In merely the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Thunder Beast cavalry within the camp had slain at least a thousand fierce beast warriors!
The fierce beast race’s camp seemed on the verge of collapse under the Thunder Beast cavalry’s charge...
The tens of thousands of fierce beast race members within the camp could no longer withstand the spell-led charge of the Thunder Beast riders!
·
In the distance, Chen Yan lay on a snowy slope, watching the battlefield intently through binoculars!
Soon, a hint of shock appeared on his face!
·
Seemingly silent and unnoticed, behind the Thunder Beasts, in the battlefield outside the camp, amidst the scattered remains and corpse fragments of fierce beast warriors just destroyed by the riders who charged into the camp, something subtly changed amid the chaotic and noisy battlefield.
