Section 131: Beastman Aristocrat
The addition of the masters did have some effect, but after all, they were limited in number, only a few dozen people, while the enemy had two or three hundred wolves. It was like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water! Moreover, without the cover of crossbow arrows, the casualties among the front-line warriors increased greatly! The defensive line was breached one after another! Although the soldiers of the Rockstone Army fought to the death, they were still consumed bit by bit due to the huge disparity in strength.
The commander of the Boulder Corps and his two golden vice-commanders resisted until the last moment! Dozens of beastmen and several magic wolves had fallen under their feet! At this time, they were also at the end of their strength! With depleted aura and physical strength, they stood together, supporting each other! Leaning against the wall, their exhausted faces showed no despair, only contempt for the enemy!
"Your Excellency! We beastmen admire such brave warriors as you. If you surrender, I guarantee that you will receive the best treatment from Her Highness the Princess!" The commander of the wolf cavalry rode a magically enlarged wolf.
"Give me a break! Don't spout any more nonsense!" The commander of the Boulder Corps replied with a cold smile.
"Well, then! Take the high road!" He swung his arm and threw a cavalry spear, pinning the commander of the Boulder Corps to the wall. His subordinates also killed two others in the same way!
"Farewell, respected opponent!" The beastman commander led his subordinates in a military salute to their opponents before turning around and leaving.
It's a role, the entire 1000-strong Granite Legion was wiped out, with over 500 casualties among the Beastmen Wolf Cavalry, including more than 30 deaths, and over 100 Warwolves killed! It can be said that the Granite Legion is the true victor! Overall, Kassia achieved her goal of showcasing her military power to Vana! And Vana also got to vent her anger! Both sides can claim victory for themselves! But the one who's truly pleased is probably... Poor Dao!
"Is this a beastman? When did you become so elegant?" The poor Taoist asked in doubt: "No matter how I look at it, it looks like a gentleman!"
"Who knows?" said Father: "Maybe it's also what the Seventh Princess taught!"
With a heart full of emotions, saying these uninteresting words, we returned to the hotel for lunch!
At the dinner table, I said to Father: "I won't lay a hand on this trash Carter, you deal with it using the Qinglong Army!"
"But there will be casualties?" Father said: "Aren't you most concerned about the lives of those young men? How come you don't care this time!"
"Because there are still three major empires and Vana! I heard that except for the Hofu Empire, which is a regular army, all the other three countries have special troops!" The poor Taoist said with a gloomy face: "These hard bones want me to gnaw on them!"
"Oh! Besides Wana's Wolf Cavalry and Meg Blue Empire's Iron Blood Cavalry, what other special troops are there?" The king asked: "How didn't I know!"
"I also heard it on the way here, it seems that the Kampas Empire has brought in a group of barbarian heavy infantry!" said the poor Taoist.
This news was told by people from the Kampas Empire who came out of the VIP room together when we returned! The boxes of our major countries are adjacent, so we often meet when entering and exiting! Although they were discussing in a low voice, I still heard it carefully as a person with super strong senses! Although only one sentence was said, the revealed information is already sufficient!
"Who said that?" asked the king!
"I don't know, I only know he's from the Kampas Empire. He said: 'I didn't expect the Wolf Riders to be so sharp, I'm afraid our 'Barbarian Heavy Infantry' aren't even a match for them!'"
"Barbarians, I know!" Father said: "They are a special tribe, mostly distributed in the harsh cold regions of the four northern territories, and a small number are distributed on the edge of the mainland. Coincidentally, there are also some within the borders of the Kampas Empire! They are not much shorter than beastmen, skilled at close combat and animal training! However, they are not many in number, nor are they very civilized! When did the people of the Kampas Empire subdue them?"
"Who knows? How are they compared to my mad warriors?" asked the poor Tao!
"Each has its own strengths! Your Berserker can go berserk and also possess the Earth Dragon, while the Barbarian can train beasts to fight! Mostly they are around level 5 magic beasts, occasionally there are even higher-level ones that assist in battle. Adding their own considerable combat power, they are absolutely your formidable foes!" My father's evaluation made me even more depressed! If I had known I was going to clash with them head-on, I would never have come!
"Never mind, when we get to the mountain, there will be a way. Let's talk about it later!" I could only comfort myself and then said to my father, "You'd better do well this afternoon, don't let others laugh at you!"
"Just kidding, watch me!" Father said confidently!
Taking advantage of the lunch break, I specially found Keli this old monster to understand the situation! When I saw him, he was still studying the necklace I gave him! He's really a research madman! Keli is still wrapped in black robes, with a black cloth covering his face, looking evil. Can't he stand sunlight?
"Ker!" I called him out of that infatuated state!
"Excuse me! Do you have something to say?" Keli's tone was very unpleasant!
"I want you to help me forge a magic whistle!" The poor Taoist hastily explained his intention!
"Sir, you seem to have passed the age for playing around, haven't you?" Keli almost burst out when he heard this!
"You don't know!" The poor Taoist explained patiently: "I found that the wolf cavalry of the beastman is commanded by a magic whistle, and I can record its melody through their subsequent battle records! But that whistle was impossible to replicate, you are knowledgeable, I think you should be able to imitate one!"
"What's it like?" That's what they call studying the spirit of Kuri!
"I don't know? Haven't seen it, only heard the sound! You just need to make a similar sound and that's enough, after all, the beastman's brain isn't good for anything, they shouldn't be able to tell the difference!" The poor Taoist said with a sly smile.
"Sir, a duel between knights' guilds? You're going to resort to tricks? That doesn't seem quite right?" Krie hesitated.
"It's not me who's showboating, it's just that I don't let others showboat. They're the ones using whistles to direct from outside the field, I'm just taking precautions!" The poor Taoist said nonchalantly!
"Alright! I think as long as I've heard it, I should be able to imitate something similar!" Ke Li said.
"Alright! I won't disturb you today, tomorrow afternoon you and I will go on a trip! They have a tough battle!" The poor Taoist said with excitement.
Actually, I was just trying to see how it goes, but I didn't expect Keli to be so confident! It's really like having an old man at home who is a treasure! The surprises that Keli brings me are getting more and more!
The first game this afternoon is our showdown with Carter! To be honest, there's no contest at all!
The Azure Dragon Iron Cavalry is indeed a renowned powerful army on the continent, each and every one of them is majestic! The formation they set up is also vastly different! Others are all 1000 people setting up a charging formation, emphasizing breakthroughs!
They're quite good, setting up ten of them! In units of a hundred people, ten small arrowheads pointing at the opponent! Crazy, it's really too crazy!
"Your subordinates are indeed 'special'!" The poor Tao said to his father!
"That's right, and don't even look at whose soldiers!" My father didn't catch the sarcasm in my words at all! The principal said extremely: "Just these trash of Carter's, I can easily wipe them out with just a hundred men!"
"Pride goes before a fall!" The poor Taoist couldn't help but rebuke him!
"Don't worry! I've already seen through these people who came with Carter!" My father's words made me stunned! Hurriedly went to take a look at the people who came with Carter!
Wow! The whole group is just a bunch of refugees! Not only are their weapons outdated, but their morale has also hit rock bottom. Most people are still wiping away tears! The commander's rank is... Centurion? I almost thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, and I took another look at the badge on his shoulder. No mistake! He's indeed a Centurion!
"What's going on?" The poor Taoist asked in surprise!
"The King of Karte was forced to declare war on us by the Meg Blue Empire!" The king explained, "Their king apologized to me in private and said that he had no choice but to send some low-ranking soldiers to make up the numbers to appease the Meg Blue Empire! He told us not to worry!"
"Ah-ha!" The poor Taoist advised: "Even so, don't get too carried away, okay? A cornered rabbit will still bite people, let alone an entire army like this!"
"You can tell just by looking!" Father said with a confident smile!
