Everyone was dumbfounded, never expecting things to turn out .
"So, they are this powerful, huh." This was the sigh of our own generals.
"I told you so, Her Majesty the Queen is so wise and brave, how could she make such an irrational decision. It seems we are indeed too incompetent to even grasp Her Majesty’s spirit."
This is the fanatical followers of Balola, and there are quite a few of them in the army.
Although Balola doesn’t have many victories, each one is crucial and stands out. In battle, she herself broke through to become a Great Knight, a realm many strive for a lifetime without even glimpsing.
The opposing commander was almost stunned, and then he remembered his situation.
That’s no ordinary army, it’s the ace among conventional troops, the Heavy Cavalry army.
And that guy isn’t ordinary either, he’s the son of the Empire’s Duke, here to earn merits for his future inheritance of the title. But who would’ve thought that the army painstakingly established by the Duke’s territory would suffer such a blow.
This was just the first frontal assault, and they encountered such an enemy.
After the explosion, everyone finally saw the scene before them clearly.
The ground was littered with debris, not even bones visible, all obscured by dust. However, you could see the ground was full of dead bodies, with some armor broken or detached at the joints.
In any case, even if those inside survived, it wouldn’t be much better.
The power of this elemental explosion was incredibly strong, even pure steel armor was deformed in the blast.
Only three people were left standing, the army’s commander, and two deputies.
They survived because they had reached the Advanced warrior level. The commander, Kakate, wasn’t seriously injured, being stronger naturally and having a protective talisman.
But the talisman was shattered, its protective power completely exhausted.
As for the other two, they were not doing well, blood flowing from the gaps in their armor.
The earlier explosion was terrifying; even Advanced warriors found it hard to resist.
They were standing because their warhorses were killed in the explosion. The sudden loss of weight made the three who just got up appear extremely disheveled.
"Ah, you, you go die for me now."
Kakate, having felt at the peak of his life, looked at the surrounding devastation and finally realized something. But although he realized it, his spirit refused to accept, so he charged forward madly.
The two beside him exchanged a glance, having no choice but to follow and protect him.
On the opposite side was an entire army; how could it not have strongmen? Even if not, they weren’t something they could handle.
They could die, but the Duke’s heir must return.
Karan nodded, this destructive power was good, just as expected. But seeing the people still charging forward, Karan frowned. "As expected of the Heavy Cavalry army, indeed there are Advanced warriors among them."
Fully armed Advanced warriors had too strong defensive power, and with the current Hard-haired Pig Army, it wasn’t easy to kill them.
But unexpectedly, instead of fleeing, they charged forward, so they couldn’t be blamed.
Our side now had no experts, I just switched to being a Thunder Warrior, and my Combat Energy was abolished, so I couldn’t fight them. The others in the team were just for controlling the Hard-haired Pigs, and their strength wasn’t substantial.
So without thinking, Karan ordered another attack.
The Hard-haired Pigs attacked purely on instinct, and each attack’s consumption wasn’t much, with quick recovery, so continuous assaults were no problem. Watching the Hard-haired Pigs attack again, the two Guards turned pale.
Even Kakate finally felt fear, his madness subsiding.
But by then, they couldn’t run away. A rain of spikes assaulted them, leaving no means of escape, forcing them to rely on their Combat Energy to resist fully.
Another wave of explosions, this time much denser than before, naturally meant much greater power.
After the explosion, others only saw a large pit in the ground, familiar armor fragments and indistinguishable flesh, all indicating those three unlucky fellows had perished.
The opposing commander suddenly felt headache, how to explain this?
Though he was a commander, compared to a Duke, he really wasn’t much.
It seems he must quickly report to His Majesty, to shield against the Duke’s wrath. Indeed, he must report on the Hard-haired Pig Army, even exaggerate their combat power, or he’d be in trouble.
Our side cheered, knowing this Heavy Armor Corps brought immense pressure here.
Now that such a force was eliminated, things would get much easier.
But Karan was a little disappointed: "It’s a pity, the Hard-haired Pigs are slow, unsuitable for pursuit, otherwise they could have inflicted great casualties on the enemy." Karan did not order a pursuit, just remained on alert.
This time, the Hard-haired Pig Army became famous after one battle, spreading their reputation quickly.
Even the nobles in the distant Imperial City received this news immediately.
Since His Majesty’s ascension, the southern Klein Empire kept provoking, and now they finally delivered a strong counterattack. No major victories previously, this achievement was very significant.
Moreover, an heir of a Duke was also killed in battle, greatly boosting our morale.
Seeing this report, Balola smiled, her plan had succeeded.
Initially, it was about confronting the enemy unawares, striking hard. Unexpectedly, the enemy fell for it so readily, bringing themselves as a gift, a big one, impossible to refuse.
"Very good, announce it, reward the entire army. Send rewards to Xuanwu Territory, and quickly deliver the message as well."
At this moment, the Hard-haired Pig Army’s fame surged, no need to hide anymore.
Upon receiving this news, a group of nobles began to boast, especially those with not high status but witnessed the Hard-haired Pig performance in the Martial Arts Arena, flaunting it proudly.
Each recount brought a flurry of discussions around, truly satisfying.
Likewise, this method of modifying beasts attracted much attention. Duke Xuanwu’s research ability was truly formidable, how were these achievements even accomplished?
