Chapter 455: Chapter 203: Bloodthirsty Royal City
"For the envoy!"
Facing their former slave masters, it would be a lie to say they weren’t afraid.
But then, the Jackal Wolfman Warriors remembered the Centaur Warriors they had killed just a few days ago, and a surge of confidence welled up from deep within them.
They had sent these Centaurs fleeing for their lives and seized all their wealth before. If they could do it then, why not now?!
’That’s right. The Centaurs aren’t so terrifying after all.’
With this realization, the Jackal Wolfman Warriors’ courage returned. They raised their weapons and charged the Centaurs before them.
It was then that the Centaurs finally realized something was wrong.
’The look in these Jackal Wolfmen’s eyes... why does it feel so strange?’
In the past, whenever they saw the elite soldiers of the Centaur Clan, even a Jackal Wolfman Chief would have to bow his head and speak deferentially.
Even when they resisted, it was only because they were forced to, their expressions betraying a cowardly defiance.
An ominous premonition crept into the hearts of the Centaur Warriors.
Soon after, that premonition came true.
The Jackal Wolfman Warriors howled as they brandished their weapons and smashed them down on the Centaur Warriors.
In an ordinary army, Tier Four was already the pinnacle. The elite Beastmen Robson had encountered at Thermopylae were one of the most powerful legions in the entire Beastman Empire.
Inside the Centaur King City, the truly elite soldiers had long since followed the Centaur King to the battlefield.
Even among Prince Feiseli’s personal elites, thirty-four Tier Four Warriors was the absolute limit.
Now, the Centaur King City was mostly filled with the old and young of Tiers One and Two, along with ordinary Tier Two and Three Warriors.
As soon as the Centaur Warriors clashed with these Jackal Wolfmen, they discovered that they were actually somewhat outmatched.
They were outmatched in every aspect—be it strength, skill, or coordination between warriors.
The Jackal Wolfmen naturally noticed this as well, and at that moment, the fear in their hearts was completely dispelled.
"Brothers! These Centaurs are no match for us!"
"It’s the envoy! The envoy’s blessing is taking effect!"
Realizing this, the Jackal Wolfman Warriors howled and charged with even greater ferocity.
The earth goblins on the other side did the same.
Meanwhile, in the center of the army, Prince Feiseli’s expression changed drastically.
"What!"
’How is this possible? How can this be?’
’What in the world is happening?’
’The Centaurs were defeated by the Jackal Wolfmen?’
’They held off the Bear Race’s attack, only for the flanks to be defeated by Jackal Wolfmen?’
In an instant, Prince Feiseli realized that things had taken a disastrous turn.
’If the rest of the Jackal Wolfman tribes are at this level...’
’Right now, the Centaur King City is undefended.’
’Am I destined to become the shame of the Centaur Clan?’
The situation on the battlefield didn’t change one bit because of Prince Feiseli’s state of mind.
With the flanks broken, the Jackal Wolfmen and earth goblins surged forward, attacking the belly of the Centaur army.
In an instant, the battlefield was a scene of carnage, with flesh flying and bones littering the ground.
Amidst Prince Feiseli’s terror, Chief Moer’s surprise, and Robson’s relief,
a sound suddenly pierced the air.
"AWOOOO!!"
A Silver-tier Bloodthirsty Jackal Wolfman roared at the sky. The bloody aura of the battlefield had finally ignited the bloodlust of the Jackal Wolfman Warriors.
It wasn’t a moonlit night, but that didn’t stop the Jackal Wolfmen from letting out wolf-like howls. One Bloodthirsty Jackal Wolfman began to roar, and then more followed, until finally all the Jackal Wolfmen joined in.
The Jackal Wolfman Legion had entered its Wolf Howl state!
Hearing this sound, Robson’s face lit up with joy!
’In the past, these abilities of the Jackal Wolfmen made me suffer endlessly. Today, the enemy finally gets a taste of it!’
It wasn’t just the Jackal Wolfmen; seeing this, the earth goblins also activated their Bloodburn state.
Above Robson’s Army, a cloud of blood-red vapor gradually began to form.
The Jackal Wolfman Warriors now seemed to have gone mad. Their eyes were blood-red, and they were left with only the basic ability to distinguish friend from foe and the instinct to kill. All sense of pain was gone.
Facing the Centaur Warriors before them, the Jackal Wolfman Warriors roared and charged recklessly.
"These people! These people are insane!"
Robson watched this scene in shock.
His shock wasn’t for the obvious reasons, but because of the Jackal Wolfmen’s tactics!
After all, the Jackal Wolfmen’s greatest weakness was that once they entered their bloodthirsty state, their minds would become clouded.
However, these Jackal Wolfmen before him, while bloodthirsty, were still fighting with disciplined rhythm, maintaining basic coordination with one another!
’The Mount & Blade panel has carved combat into their very instincts!’
’The Mount & Blade panel plus the Jackal Wolfmen’s bloodlust—the effect is greater than the sum of its parts!’
’If the original Jackal Wolfmen were at most comparable to Tier Four Warriors, they can now fight on equal footing with an equivalent number of Tier Five warriors.’
’And these Jackal Wolfmen have barely any experience! Just how many Jackal Wolfmen are there on this continent?’
Once the Jackal Wolfmen successfully entered their bloodthirsty state, it basically signaled the end of the battle.
The warriors of the Centaur Clan simply couldn’t withstand this wave of Bloodthirsty Jackal Wolfmen and were sent into a full-blown retreat.
"Your Highness! Do something! These guys are insane! Completely insane!"
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
The Centaur Warriors couldn’t hold on any longer and cried out to Prince Feiseli for help.
But how would Prince Feiseli know what to do? He had never seen a scene like this before!
’Why? Why?’
Prince Feiseli was completely stunned. ’Why are the Jackal Wolfmen so strong?’
Over a thousand Tier Five Jackal Wolfmen brutally tore the Centaur legion in two right down the middle.
Robson’s Army steadily gained the upper hand, with his troops conquering more and more territory.
As they established a firm foothold within the Centaur King City, more and more Jackal Wolfmen surged into the Royal City.
After all, the main force under Robson’s command, from Tier Three and up, consisted almost entirely of Jackal Wolfmen.
For this assault on the Royal City, there were over ten thousand Tier Three Jackal Wolfman Warriors! The earth goblins numbered just over a thousand.
The bloody aura from the Jackal Wolfmen at the front gradually began to affect the warriors in the rear. The moment those Tier Three Jackal Wolfman Warriors entered the fray, they too entered a bloodthirsty state.
As the slaughter continued, the cloud of carnage in the sky grew larger, and the Jackal Wolfman Warriors became even more frenzied.
"They’re mad! They’re mad!"
"The Prince is running! The Prince is running!"
"Let’s get out of here, the Prince ran away!"
The bloody aura of the Bloodthirsty Jackal Wolfmen was a devastating blow to the enemy’s morale.
Seeing the Jackal Wolfmen about to cut their way to his position, Prince Feiseli could finally hold on no longer. If he didn’t flee now, they would be right on top of him.
The moment Prince Feiseli fled, the morale of the entire army completely collapsed.
’The Prince is gone. What are we still fighting for?’
