Chapter 1469: Chapter 642: Extermination! Nai Shu in Shock!
The first wave of five thousand cavalry sent out was instantly annihilated.
Nai Shu was merely startled for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.
It’s laughable that Lanling hides his head and shows his tail, hiding his army in the forest, what does that even mean? Updates are released by novel·fire·net
How many troops can he have, twenty thousand? Thirty thousand?
In the face of his million-strong army, in the face of his Mammoth Army, in the face of his Sky Legion, a mere twenty or thirty thousand troops are not even enough to fill the gap between his teeth.
The leader of the Penlie Alliance stepped forward and said, “Prince, the Penlie Alliance requests permission to engage!”
The Penlie Alliance is considered the ace cavalry of the Black Demon Banner Territory, the Fiery Leopard Cavalry, known throughout the entire Rakshasa Domain.
The Fiery Leopard, as a mount, isn’t particularly large, even smaller than the warhorses of Earth. However, it is extremely fast, capable of reaching a running speed of nearly two hundred miles per hour, especially during a charge, it’s almost as fast as lightning.
Not only that, but these Fiery Leopards can even surge up city walls four to five meters high without any trouble. Whether through towering mountains or dense forests, they tread as if on flat ground.
Moreover, these Fiery Leopards have immense strength; although not huge in size, they can easily carry over two thousand pounds.
The entire Penlie Alliance has over twenty thousand Fiery Leopard riders, each Leopard with a head armor, wearing a breastplate, moving freely within the dense forest, most suitable for entering the forest for combat.
Nai Shu was overjoyed at this sight, what use is it for Lanling to hide the army in the forest, when twenty thousand Fiery Leopard Cavalry can easily charge in and annihilate them.
Upon Nai Shu’s order!
The leader of the Penlie Alliance was overjoyed, their moment to shine and achieve merit had arrived.
“Attack!” came the command.
Twenty thousand Fiery Leopard Cavalry marched out, silently and as fast as lightning.
The other cavalry of the Black Demon Flag looked on enviously; these Fiery Leopards were the dream steeds of all cavalrymen.
As the twenty thousand cavalry ran, they made almost no noise, only the gentle gliding of the pads on the ground and the sound of armor clashing.
In just a moment, the twenty thousand Fiery Leopard Cavalry moved out, once again forming a formation.
They used a wedge formation, and each cavalryman held a large shield in hand!
“Charge into the forest and slay the enemy without mercy!” the leader of the Penlie Alliance shouted loudly.
“Yes!” The twenty thousand Fiery Leopard Cavalry roared in unison and charged towards the forest like a sharp blade, as swift as lightning.
The speed was unbelievably fast, in the blink of an eye reaching two kilometers, one kilometer, five hundred meters, three hundred meters!
Earlier, the five thousand cavalry had been shot dead within a three hundred meter distance.
This time, upon reaching five hundred meters, all the Fiery Leopard Cavalry raised their giant shields.
No arrows shot out from the forest!
The twenty thousand Fiery Leopard Cavalry got closer and closer.
Lanling gave the order, “Retreat!”
Instantly, he and thirteen Death Samurai retreated into the forest.
Nai Shu sneered coldly, what use is it for the bastard Lanling to retreat at this moment?
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
Twenty thousand Fiery Leopard Cavalry charged like lightning into the dense, giant forest.
Countless sounds of clashing blades.
In the forest, flashes of swords and sabers, bursts of blood.
Screams echoed relentlessly!
Of course, just by the sound of the screams, one couldn’t tell which side was suffering casualties.
Outside the forest, neither Nai Shu nor the army of the Black Demon Banner could see anything but could only hear the constant screams and clash of blades.
However, everyone had only one thought, with the screams being so dense, the battle was evidently fierce, very clearly the tens of thousands of Lanling’s ambushed troops in the forest would be surely massacred, indeed the Fiery Leopard Cavalry was incredibly strong in forest combat.
“Lanling’s army is finished.”
“The battle will be over in at most a quarter of an hour!”
“Indeed, all the credit has gone to the Penlie Alliance. That despicable dog Lanling’s tens of thousands of troops must have been slaughtered by them.”
“Lanling is truly an idiot, attempting to use the forest’s advantage, little did he know the Fiery Leopard Cavalry was most suited for forest combat.
“Luckily, we can still go and wipe out the Flame Demon Tribe, and perhaps ravage the women of the Flame Demon Tribe.”
Nai Shu’s million-strong army quickly went into watching mode, waiting for the battle to end.
They saw Fiery Leopards running out of the forest one by one, their backs empty, with no knights, only the mounts themselves.
At first, there were only dozens, then hundreds, later thousands of Fiery Leopards fleeing in panic, not even returning to Nai Shu’s main formation, instead scattering in all directions as if terrified, fleeing like a flock of scared birds or beasts.
The sounds of screams inside the forest continued.
The sound of clashing blades remained intense.
The battle was still unseen, yet the scent of blood was unmistakably evident.
Nai Shu’s face turned extremely unsightly.
The screams grew fewer, the clash of blades became less frequent, and there were fewer Fiery Leopard mounts fleeing from the forest.
The scent of blood in the entire forest had become very strong.
The sounds of clashing blades in the forest ceased, all the screams stopped as well.
The elite cavalry of the Black Demon Flag was completely wiped out.
Nai Shu’s million-strong army fell silent, Nai Shu’s face was ashen, his whole body trembling.
Today, with great ambition, he led a million-strong army to punish the Flame Demon Tribe, but hadn’t even taken a few steps before Lanling brought his forces to their door, blocking his army right at their doorstep.
Not only that, but the first defeat could have been called an accident.
But the complete wipeout in the second battle could only prove that the army Lanling brought was tremendously powerful, otherwise, how could they have annihilated the Fiery Leopard Cavalry completely within half an hour.
