Chapter 225 - Mysterious Fox Iron Cavalry
Xiong Kui’s eyes seemed to lose all signs of anxiousness. When the rumbling thunderous horse hooves noise got closer and closer, hundreds of feet away, a bunch of silver armor cavalry finally showed themselves.
First was 3-5 people who seemed really obscure like a cloud sieging over. After a short moment more and more silver armored cavalry appeared in the eyes of everyone.
Xiong Kui’s eyes were filled with despair.
“Gantian Mountain City’s black fox iron cavalry…”
At this moment, even fleeing was impossible. When those thousand cavalry charged, the wind whistled by the sides of the silver-colored war horses. The wind helped to increase the horse speeds, like they were totally unobstructed, galloping swiftly. The speed at which was actually no less than the mutated Windrider horse under his feet.
In front of these bunch of silver armored cavalry, a middle-aged man dressed in dazzling silver armor, holding a horse slaying machete was slowly drawing closer. Xiong Kui’s face turned ashen white. His eyes turning slightly and he gave up all hope of escaping. He threw the ax in his hand away and raised both of his hands, signaling his surrender.
When the middle-aged man saw that he smiled, his eyes showing surprise. A short while later he regained a cold and composed expression. The knife in his hand didn’t stop, when his body passed, the knife slightly flushed and he used the back of the knife to smash Xiong Kui’s head. Directly smashing Xiong Kui hundreds of feet away, unconscious on the ground.
And when these thousand silver armored cavalry slowly reduced their horse speeds, the surrounding Blazing Flame mountain infantry and cavalry all stopped in their tracks, no one daring to get another step closer.
That handsome general in silver armor didn’t care much about these hundreds of thousands of troops just a short distance away. He casually led his horse by Xiong Kui’s side and directly captured this Blazing Flame Mountain prince.
The standoff being the two armies only lasted for a short while before the blazing flame mountain troops started to disperse and not tangle anymore.
However, different from the hundreds of thousands of Yunxia Mountain troops, which fled in all directions, the Blazing Flame Mountain army seemed to have some people commanding. Even when they retreated, they did so in an orderly manner.
The handsome looking middle-aged man didn’t bother, just waiting coldly and silently. In just a few breaths 3 thousand mysterious armor cavalry charged out from the nearby camp gates. The one in the lead was Zong Yuan.
When he saw these thousand black fox iron cavalry, his facial expression changed. He slightly hesitated before ordering the Xuan Mountain City cavalry to stop their horses. Then, he came alone beside this majestic middle-aged man and bowed, “Junior Zong Yuan greets race uncle!”
Only then did the expression of the middle-aged man relax. He observed Zong Yuan carefully, and his expression was really complicated. “Maniac Lightning spear sense, unparalleled formation charging… No wonder the ruler has always protected you. From today on, you have finally made a name for yourself. 3 thousand iron cavalry broke through the 400 thousand alliance army troops of Yunxia and Blazing Flame mountain. Your purple lightning spear name will definitely shake Donglin Cloud Continent. If my big brother was still here, he would be really happy. However, since you have such skills, then use it on the right path. Zong Hao and Zong Yang that pair is scheming. If you follow them one day, you will be betrayed.”
When he said those few sentences, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. When he looked at Zong Yuan not react even when he insulted the father and son pair, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
Did this kid really join the prince? With Zong Yuan’s personality betraying his master was something weird, joining Zong Shou who couldn’t cultivate that was even more surprising.
Zong Yuan kept silent when he heard purple lightning spear name would definitely shake Donglin Cloud Continent he felt really bitter. As for the words that followed, he didn’t pay much attention.
Other people might see that he used his purple lightning spear and was totally unstoppable, trampling over the enemy, but who knew that it was the prince who was controlling him.
The moment he left Zong Shou’s side and fought with others, he would definitely reveal his true self.
However, right away he lifted his spirits, an extremely strong glow burning in his eyes. Although it wasn’t him, the things he learned in this battle was extraordinary! One day, he would be that strong.
He definitely wouldn’t give up and would personally kill those two, that bastard named Zong Hao under his spear!
That handsome middle-aged man felt a little weird. A few moments ago Zong Yuan seemed really down, unlike the person who had just led 3 thousand to crush 400 thousand enemies. There was no happiness, no determination, instead, he seemed extremely depressed. However, now, his spirit had risen up, making him feel a little confused.
He was too lazy to bother with it, licking the corner of his lips before turning away and looking in the direction of the carriage. He said expressionlessly, “I don’t care for what reason you joined the prince but if one day you dare to go against him, even if you totally grasp the maniac lightning spear sense, I, Zong Gang, will personally take your life! This war is over. If you have no more intention to chase then follow me to meet the prince!”
The brows of Zong Yuan furrowed, looking at the hundreds of thousands of escaping enemy troops and also the Xuan mountain cavalry which was showing signs of exhaustion. He thought for a moment before following behind Zong gang without any hesitation towards the carriage formation.
…
Within the carriage formation, everyone had gotten out of the carriages and climbed onto the roofs, looking out tens of miles away.
They didn’t have a clear grasp of the situation, but they could roughly see what was going on. Especially when Tan Tao hollered “Feng Yu has been slain” which reverberated tens of miles away. They could hear it clearly all the way over here.
Everyone looked on, their gazes were hot like a burning flame as they looked at the seemingly miraculous scenes. Especially the thousand Xuan mountain cavalry who were left here to defend who was extremely envious and jealous. Now they regretted not being selected to participate in the formation charging and becoming a part of those 3 thousand!
The iron cavalry charging at the formation was totally unstoppable. To be able to participate in such an amazing feat, even if they died, it was a really glorious matter!
“They actually really won…”
Li Luo’s eyelids twitched following which he gave an awkward smile, “What happened today will be like what the prince said. It will become a legend in the cloud world.”
Looking back, Li Luo gazed at Zong Shou only to see him sitting down, muttering in his mouth like he was calculating something. Listening closely, Zong Shou said out a bunch of numbers, what 340 wind flame explosive arrows, what 443 dead, how much compensation fee. Also that one energy destroying spirit upheaval talisman which was worth how many beast crystals.
And also how much those armor and spiritual artifacts obtained were worth. He was actually calculating the losses of the battle.
In the end, when he calculated that he used up around 200 grade 7 beast crystals, Zong Shou’s face was filled with pain. If this money came from Gantian Mountain, he wouldn’t bother. However, it came from his own pocket. Who knows whether or not he could claim it after he becomes a monster king?
Li Luo and Shi Dan were speechless, thinking that this future Gantian Mountain monster king was really unique. The latter hesitated before handing back the other 2 talismans. He knew that she wouldn’t be able to keep these items from such a ‘strong’ enemy. The farmer shook his head and continued to look in the distance, “Congratulations prince, the black fox iron cavalry from your city have arrived. The victory of this battle is confirmed and there’s no way they can turn it around. If we go all out to chase even if we are unable to slay them all we will be able to cause much damage to both Blazing Flame and Yunxia mountain! Let’s not talk about the cavalry but for the infantry, we can leave half of them.”
Only then did Zong Shou come back to his senses and lookout. As expected, a total of a thousand silver armored cavalries and those 3 thousand Xuan mountain cavalry were heading over.
They were all dressed up in silver armor, shining bright. The horses under them were mutated silver scaled wind stepping beasts. Their speed was just a little worse than Windrider foals.
Zong Shou couldn’t help but take in a cold breath. Looking out these bunch of silver armored cavalry were actually all dual cultivators. Moreover, they were all from the fox race, amongst which there were 3 Xuanwu ancestors and 20 martial ancestors!
No wonder although there were only a thousand of them, but amongst the elites of the Donglin Cloud Continent cities, they were listed in the top 3. In the west of the Donglin Cloud Continent, they were never defeated!
Before this, he was feeling weird about why the spiritual masters of the 2 cities weren’t doing anything! Ruo Shui herself shouldn’t be so strong to such an extent.
It seems like they were most probably handled by these black fox iron cavalry.
He was originally planning to just crush these 400 thousand people but if he had such a bunch of elite cavalry in his hand, he had some confidence to leave at least half of the enemy.
However, on closer thought, he decisively shook his head. Tossing aside the temptation, “These people are all from the monster race. They would be under me in the future. There is no benefit to killing more of them. Even if we force a portion of them to surrender, we don’t have enough men to care for the prisoners. Moreover, we aren’t so free today.”
Li Luo and Shi Dan were both startled. This prince really talked big. Before he even became the Gantian Mountain monster king he already treated the people of Yunxia and Blazing Flame mountain as his own.
However, when they thought about his age, that pinnacle sword techniques, the formation charging skill when he controlled Zong Yuan from afar, they weren’t surprised.
Oh right, Zong Yuan, who was an unparalleled general seed, the moment he grew up, in just a few years no one in Donglin Cloud Continent would be able to stop him!
The Donglin Cloud Continent, since the Di Dynasty was wiped out, it has been in chaos for 4 thousand odd years. Would all the cities be unified once more under the hands of Zong Shou?
The 2 of them couldn’t help but think about it. Zong Shou didn’t bother as he focused in front.
The 3 thousand Xuan mountain cavalry and black fox iron cavalry were 500 feet away from the carriage formation before stopping. With Zong Yuan leading and another handsome middle-aged man, they walked over together.
