Chapter 311: Chapter 70: Final Victory (2)
Fido was shocked by their behavior. ’What have they been doing? How did the army end up like this?’
"Useless! Castro, go and rally the troops. Stabilize their morale."
"I’ll take my troops and move forward to intercept those human cavalry," Fido said, looking at Castro.
Based on the attitude of the officers before him, Fido could already guess the state of morale throughout the entire Beastman army.
Fido made an immediate assessment. ’Right now, throughout the entire army, only the morale of my Bloodthirsty Jackal Wolfmen is still serviceable.’
He could only send the Jackal Wolfmen, whose morale was still decent, in first. Once the melee began, the warriors behind could join. Otherwise, his own legion might be infected by the low morale of the routed Beastman troops, and they would lose their last remaining fighting force.
Although this would mean significant losses for the Bloodthirsty Jackal Wolfmen, now was not the time to worry about that.
"I’ll go," Tec said, stepping forward.
"Jackal Wolfmen! All Jackal Wolfmen of the Bloodthirsty Tribe! Assemble! Prepare for battle!" Fido stepped forward and commanded his Jackal Wolfman Legion.
After speaking, Fido threw his head back and let out a howl, attempting to use the Bloodthirsty Jackal Wolfmen’s signature technique: the Bloodthirsty Howl.
The Jackal Wolfman army began to move at Fido’s command, but their sluggish pace made him frantic.
Clearly, the entire Jackal Wolfman Legion had already been affected by the routed Beastman army.
....
"Your Highness, what is the situation? Your Highness?"
Prince Odoruo had rushed over as fast as he could, finally reaching the Beastman lines. Fido hurried forward to ask.
"Weren’t you told to await orders? Why have you come out?!" Prince Odoruo demanded, frowning at Fido.
Fido was about to offer an explanation, but seeing the human cavalry nearly upon them, he knew this was not the time for excuses.
"The main army behind us is just a routed mob. Only my one thousand Bloodthirsty Jackal Wolfmen are still battle-ready. I’ve already ordered them forward.
What do we do now?" Fido asked, looking to Prince Odoruo, hoping he might have a different solution.
Unfortunately, as Prince Odoruo looked at their surroundings and the dispirited, routed Beastman troops nearby, he could only sigh at the heavens.
"What else can we do? Fido... I’m sorry to have to say this, but given the situation, you’re the only one who can hold them off, even for a moment." Prince Odoruo looked at Fido.
Although Prince Odoruo hadn’t said it outright, Fido already knew what he meant.
Without hesitation, Fido cupped his fist and accepted the order.
"You honor me, Your Highness. My legion can still hold them for a while. You must leave, quickly," Chief Fido said, his tone grimly heroic.
Prince Odoruo gave Fido a long, meaningful look, then turned and left with his last remaining soldiers.
....
"Form up! Form up at once!"
After Prince Odoruo departed, Chief Fido did everything in his power to get his army to assemble quickly.
But considering the size of the opposing Knight Order, it was likely futile even if they managed to form a proper battle line.
Still, it was better than nothing.
Unfortunately, fate was not on their side. The Jackal Wolfmen might be shaken, but they weren’t blind.
Everyone could see the human cavalry in the distance. The ceaseless tremors in the ground felt like a harbinger of their doom.
When Heavy Cavalry charged, the sound was truly heaven-shaking and earth-shattering!
Chief Fido watched the approaching human cavalry, his eyes fixed on the man leading the charge, and could only sigh inwardly.
’The situation had been so favorable,’ he thought. ’I did almost nothing, just held my position, and then suddenly, everything fell apart.’
’Such is my fate...’
Fido looked at the human Knight about to crash into their lines, tightened his grip on his mace, his eyes devoid of fear.
....
"By the Lord of Dawn, for the Kingdom! Charge!"
Robson, mounted on his Magical Beast Horse, led the charge from the very front. The heart of a cavalryman was courage, and as the army’s most powerful general, his place was at the vanguard, setting an example for all his men.
"For the Kingdom!"
Most of those following Robson now were from his own Cavalry Team.
Of course, the tip of the spear was still the elite Fengman Knight Order.
Even after splitting off a detachment to intercept the Beastman Infantry, Robson still commanded over five hundred Heavy Cavalry!
Though most of the momentum from their charge down Wayne Mountain had dissipated, for cavalry, courage was paramount!
A battlefield charge was all about momentum and morale.
They had just won a resounding victory, and their morale was at its peak.
Besides, a key factor in any army’s morale was its commander!
With Robson himself leading the charge, how could any of them even think of retreating?
Seeing the Jackal Wolfman Legion about to form their Bloodthirsty Cloud Qi, Robson let out a furious roar and unleashed his Golden Avatar.
With a tremendous wave of battle aura, a silver-white giant materialized behind Robson.
Robson led the charge, plunging into the ranks of the Jackal Wolfmen before they could fully form up.
In the sky, Huang Na shrieked and spat a torrent of flame directly into the most densely packed area of the Jackal Wolfman formation.
The Jackal Wolfman formation, already loose, was now thrown into even greater disarray.
"The humans are breaking through!"
"Shields?!"
"Help me!"
"For the Kingdom!"
...
Shortly after Huang Na breathed her fire, the entire human Cavalry Corps smashed into the Jackal Wolfman army. The bit of blood energy the Jackal Wolfmen had struggled to gather instantly collapsed.
