Everyone had a bellyful of thoughts, except for Liu, who had only one word echoing in his mind - SLASH!
The past mistreatment of the Musketeers by humans had built up a fiery rage inside him that had festered until now, finally exploding forth.
After the long spears were chopped down, the Beamon soldiers’ rampant slashing and chopping caused enormous carnage among the mercenaries charging up the steps of the passageway. The stone above the tunnel was covered in blood. The mercenaries in the back, bearing ropes, were the most unfortunate. Although they carried long swords, they hadn’t drawn them yet when the swift beams of light cleaved their last ties to this world.
This narrow passageway was most effective for the Mammoth fighters’ group assault. Those watching the battle on Red Earth Square initially wore expressions of relaxation, but their demeanor swiftly changed to shock, and then profuse sweating.
The scene of a cleaver as long as a halberd chopping down people was uncommonly grand.
After charging past the stairs that were twenty blades high, the Beamon soldiers did not hesitate. They followed the Overlord and charged towards the bewildered archers. In an instant, it was chaotic. By the time Jennifer, the squad’s leader, reacted, numerous archers, along with their longbows, had already been cut in two.
Such a terrifying blade, such a sharp blade!
Standing on flat ground, every human felt the oppressive might of the Mammoth warriors’ terrifying stature. With a height of nearly three blades and a weight of half a ton, just one hundred of such fighters would be hard for anyone to resist!
The two Mages immediately stood up from the palanquin and, along with their magic apprentices, launched several basic fireballs at the group of Beamons.
Because of the melee, the splash effect of the fireballs caused a series of screams from the mercenaries around them. The Mammoth warriors who were hit by the fireballs quickly rolled on the spot. The thick blood on the ground quickly extinguished the flames ignited by the fireballs.
However, Dorott’s renowned mercenary corps managed to regroup swiftly after a brief moment of shock. Jennifer swiftly dispatched the prepared rhino cavalry, charging at great cost—trampling their own men—to open a blood path towards the Beamons. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel fire.net
Under the calm command of Count Totti, Shalba’s slave-catching team also began pushing forward with their long spears. These Beamons were cunning; under the lead of their leader, Piegel, they swung back up to the steps of the passageway, brutally carving out a path of blood. They left behind broken weapons and severed limbs before quickly scrambling back up onto Red Earth Highland.
They even had the audacity to flip a middle finger.
Infuriated, Jennifer’s assistant, the vice-leader of the "Metal Rose," took advantage of the charging speed of the rhinos and went up the steps, planning to charge straight through. Piegel struck him mid-charge, cleaving both him and the hard horn of the rhino in half. Not only that, but Piegel hoisted the rhino’s corpse and flung it at the mercenaries charging up the steps, nearly driving Jennifer to the brink of madness.
Chaos! Complete chaos!
Liu’s "chaotic punches that could kill the old master" had landed hits on countless people before; today was no exception for the mercenaries. With him at their core, using fierce charges, any battle line could be torn open, barring the existence of a brave warrior capable of withstanding him.
Daisy, the Fairy Dragon was also extremely tense watching from the sky.
At this moment, the female leader of the mercenary corps was raging. The mercenaries were most skilled at close-quarters battle and were familiar with small formations. Yet, in front of Piegel, their formations were utterly disrupted. No one had expected his armor to be so thick. Many pikemen could feel a second layer of armor underneath after piercing through the first, rendering them helpless against him. After he charged, the mercenaries were like headless flies, utterly scattered.
Archers and foot soldiers were mixed up together in a messy clump. Those with longer weapons were blocked, those with shorter weapons retreated, and if not for a few rhinos driving back the Beamons, who knows what they would have turned the place into.
At this time, the two court magicians displayed their power. After retreating to the steps, the Beamon fighters immediately lost their shield. A series of fireballs showered down on them. However, what frustrated the two senior mages was that these Beamons were too cunning. As soon as they saw a magical attack, they immediately turned tail and ran inside the cave.
"Bring out the Birdwing Crossbow Car, we continue to charge!" Furious, Jennifer gave the order to her men. The "Metal Rose," after all, was a famous mercenary corps. After suffering such a big loss for no apparent reason, they had to regain some face.
The mercenaries beside the step passage immediately dispersed, opening up a pathway.
Jennifer had not intended to bring out this trump card so soon, but it had come to this. These powerful Beamon fighters had caused her to lose over a hundred soldiers and her vice-leader. She could already feel the mocking gazes of the "Tornado" mercenary corps’ two Heavy Scythe-wielders’ squadron leaders.
"Birdwing Crossbow Car?" Even Count Totti was surprised that the Metal Rose Mercenary Corps had such a secret weapon. His eyes widened in disbelief.
In addition to ten hard-earned Rhino heavy cavalry, Jennifer had, by chance, found a Birdwing Crossbow Car in a hidden cellar while exploring the Ancient Elf Temple in the Thunder Mountain Range. She had then secretly trained a Crossbow Car team. A Birdwing Crossbow Car was impossible to create with human current crafting techniques. This was a relic of the ancient God-Demon war, said to be a unique weapon of the ancient elves. As time passed over ten thousand years, these ancient, powerful weapons became increasingly rare, enough to make anyone’s eyes turn red with envy.
