When that army started charging, rumbling orderly horse hooves noises broke out. Although the horse hooves were stepping in mid-air, a wind power struck right into the ground, causing a few hundred miles of flat land to shake.
Even standing tens of miles out, Zong Shou could still feel the ground shaking.
Charging right at the front were 2 thousand tiger leopard cavalry. They were all heavily armored, riding on white pattern tooth tigers, like a sharp arrowhead, leading tens of thousands of iron cavalry forwards. Behind them were ten thousand people and horses which were covered in black runes and iron armor. Looking out, it seemed like an iron forest which surged forwards.
However, in Zong Shou's eyes, he could see a lot more. He could see that these tens of thousands of cavalry were slowly forming a sort of strength. sense, military heart, morale, combat strength. Numbers all combined into something similar to the strength of the martial path, causing these 50 thousand iron cavalries to become stronger and more unstoppable, .ike they could wipe out everything! In this military formation, even a martial master would have his strength greatly increased and have close to a mythic master's combat strength.
The entire army was led by one person at the front who was continuously adjusting the formation, causing tens of thousands of people meshed up into a force. It caused the overall aura and strength of the cavalry to slowly climb up step by step.
He then looked towards his side and felt speechless. 3 thousand iron cavalry, which was also quite a majestic sight. Unfortunately, it was small and pitiful in front of that giant black wave of troops.
The morale was very low and deathly. Luckily, everyone affected the fact that they were about to die and had more or less the will to fight to the death. Their aura was more or less the same as the enemy.
Zong Yuan was at the front, Tan Tao and Hu Zhongyuan protecting him by his side. At this moment, they rushed the mounts under their feet to slowly speed up.
"That is Yang Xuan. Legends say that he's a 6 meridian Xuanwu. But based on what I know, he has already broken through to 7 meridians and is the 7th strongest in Yunxia Mountain. The commander of the tiger leopard cavalry, the best cavalry commander. His only loss was in the hands of Hu Qianqiu 7 years ago, but he still managed to retreat unharmed. After that, he fought 8 times with Hu Qianqiu but barely maintained on par. He was famous in the west of Donglin Cloud Continent, seen as a famous general! Under him, he had 10 5 meridian martial ancestors whom he could choose from."
Li Luo looked on as he explained, his eyes sweeping at Zong Shou, "2 years ago, this person used 30 thousand cavalries to sweep an alliance army of 270 thousand of Tianfang province, causing 17 cities to only be able to defend the city and not exit..."
The so-called Tianfang Province was the southwest corner of Donglin Cloud Continent, under the jurisdiction of Taoyun City.
Zong Shou acted like he didn't hear it, giving a soft acknowledgment. He quietly played around with the black mirror in front of his body.
A light slowly appeared in the mirror, and one could roughly see the beelike surging iron cavalry.
When Zong Yuan's field of sight totally appeared in his mirror, Zong Shou suddenly cast a spell and a black wooden bird suddenly charged into the sky. It didn't stop until it was tens of thousands of feet high, far away from the killing aura. It started to soar in the sky, before totally disappearing. This was also a spiritual artifact that he bought in Jiefu City.
It was as high as grade 4 but it wasn't that useful. It could only tour a thousand miles and scout the surroundings. The grade 4 spiritual formation within the wooden bird was could also hide and cover its aura.
"This thing seems not bad to be used for spying. If one doesn't pay attention one wouldn't notice it..."
Zong Shou couldn't help but imagine those beautiful scenes. Until the images which the wooden bird saw looking down from above spread into his soul did his expression turn solemn. It was time for him to be serious.
In the last life, he improved on his weaknesses to perfect his sword techniques on the battlefield. Within the virtual game of God Emperor, he had joined guilds and helped a bunch of friends, going through 5-600 wars.
In that era the population was huge, along with NPCs, just 2 small cities could mobilize a hundred thousand troops. From the beginning, for him to go from a rookie who was easily crushed to a person who could barely hold his own, he had been through so many failures and hardships. From losing more than winning to winning more than losing. Even in the toughest of environments, he could retreat unharmed.
However, as compared to the military gods in the game which could control a region, there was still a giant gap.
However ten thousand years ago, even in the era where the spiritual flood appeared, military tactics used was much different as compared to the future due to the advanced virtual environments. In that era, people in the cloud world didn't have to worry about food and dressing. Casual and bored players spent everyday killing and fighting in the virtual environment which was 10 times slower than real life, anyways even if they die they could revive. This was why many tactics that people in the past couldn't imagine all urged out. Especially arrangement of troops, spell usage on the battlefield were all developed to the extreme.
With the small amount of skill that he trained up, it was probably enough for him to sweep the Donglin Cloud Continent.
This was the reason why he dared to use 3 thousand cavalry to forcefully take on 400 thousand from Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain!
The virtual environment and reality were naturally different. However, with this elite cavalry army, it wasn't impossible. As compared to players which were chaotic and didn't match up, the Xuan Mountain City cavalry was much stronger.
As they were close to ten thousand feet apart, the cavalry on both sides started to charge. Looking down from above, one could see a big and small, totally different sized arrows which clashed with one another.
They were both well trained, controlling the speed of the horse, stepping with a specific tempo. As the horse hooves landed, there was a sound.
Zong Yuan had also been through hundreds of battles. He had also led ten thousand people to charge a formation in Gantian Mountain. All the muscles on his body were relaxed. He carried the grade 5 purple lightning spear as he looked coldly forwards. There was no fighting spirit or killing intent in his heart like this matter didn't concern him.
...the battle today did have nothing to do with him. He was only forced by people to be the tip of the army sword.
However, the prince treated him well. Although Zong Yuan predicted that he was definitely going to die, he didn't want to owe that person. He went all out, using the dragon horned winged horse under his feet to control the tempo and speed of the army.
Just as they were a thousand feet away and those detailed patterns on the cold armor could be clearly seen, Zong Yuan only felt a seemingly weak but irresistible intent pierce him from mid-air and control his limbs.
Then, he raised up the oriole lightning spear in his hand, the speed of the dragon horned winged horse increased by several times. This caused the 3 thousand people behind him to swiftly increase their speeds.
That slow and heavy rumbling inside started to break out.
The 2 thousand tiger leopard cavalry opposite him also seemed to speed up at the same time, like a sharp chisel striking head-on.
When they were a hundred feet away, Zong Yuan could even see the solemn gazes from the armor of the 2 cavalry at the front. They were 5 meridian martial ancestors, using the military aura their strength climbed to peak martial ancestor. Looking at their gazes, it seemed like they were looking at a corpse.
Zong Yuan scoffed. These two people were definitely dead. The prince's sword path was one with the spirit. He would easily deal with the 2 of them.
3 horses charged at one another. In a blink of an eye, they were at 30 feet. Zong Yuan suddenly felt a lightning glow explode around his body. The yellow pearl on the spear sudden injected strong essence energy into his body, filling up the energy in his meridians to the max. His hands couldn't help but shake. At the tip of the purple lightning spear, several hundred spear images appeared and numerous blue lightning gathering in one spot. It formed up a sharp lightning blade which cut forwards.
They two who were originally prepared to cut up Zong Yuan's body were startled. They were barely able to slash out with the knife light before the spear image reached their faces, smashing them and their armor into pieces. The lightning glow exploded, mixed up with sharp energy, which caused the blood and meat to burst apart and shoot about. It caused the white pattern tooth tigers to be startled, instinctively dodging to the sides. The gave out intense roars, causing the entire formation to show signs of descending into chaos.
However, Zong Yuan's spear didn't stop there. The dragon horned winged horse beneath him covered 40 feet in one step, directly charging into the group of tiger leopard cavalry. A horse neigh which was similar to dragon roar caused those white pattern tooth tigers to panic. The spear image wrapped up, directly ending the lives of the 5 meridian martial ancestors in the front. Every time the spear shot out, blood and meat flew and spurted all about. In just a breath he ended the life of tens of people!
This spear technique seemed to be his own purple lightning spear? How could it be so strong?
Zong Yuan was astonished, his blood boiled and emotions raised up due to this god-like spear technique. However, a moment later, it turned cold. So what if his spear technique is good? He could kill a thousand or two, even ten thousand. But he definitely couldn't face up against 400 thousand alone.
Just as he was silently shaking his head, Zong Yuan felt that something wasn't right. The dragon horned winged horse didn't charge forwards but slightly changed its angle and direction. The direction which is charged at wasn't where the enemy cavalry was at its weakest but where they were the strongest!
It often smashed it with one spear. Their aura was really confident. It also reduced the pressure of the 3 thousand cavalry behind him. At that point, they suffered close to no casualties.
This gory and bloody slaughtering and body destroying method were truly stunning. Even if the tiger leopard cavalry had seen killing and seen a lot of gore, no one could block or stop him. These people couldn't help but feel shocked and stunned.
A line of words subconsciously appeared in Zong Yuan's head. The key to crushing the enemy was in sharpness!
Before he had time to think, a person appeared in front of Zong Yuan. The white pattern tooth tiger under him was close to double the size of the others. He was also holding a horse slaughtering machete, his dense aura chopped down through the air. The aura of tens of thousands of cavalry were all gathered on his body as the knife light charged forwards. Beneath him, a ten thousand foot hole appeared as dust and dirt rose up! Dense and vast energy, close to 5 million kilograms of strength crushed down!
"It's Yang Xuan!"
Zong Yuan was terrified. He knew how strong this person was. His hands waved the spear, totally not under his own control as it covered over.
When that spear and knife light intersected, blood spurred out. A head covered in an iron helmet was tossed up in the air.
Everyone subconsciously looked over, that head belonged to Yang Xuan!
All of a sudden, the 3 thousand iron cavalry behind Zong Yuan exhaled Out deeply.
