Chapter 47 - Chapter 7: Advent #5
In history, cavalry could be divided into two types.
There were those who used their mobility to attack and depart repeatedly or those who joined together as a mighty stone cavalry to push behind enemy lines..
The centaurs of the Mighty Fire tribe were closer to cavalry archers.
The centaurs, including Ferocious Eyes, pulled their bows and fired. Shooting a bow on a horse was a task that required high training but it was a necessity for the centaurs.
In-gong required them to draw the casios’ attention, not defeat them.
As the casios had more numbers than them, Ferocious Eyes didn’t want to rush recklessly at the casios. So, he fired arrows instead. The arrows flew in a large arc.
The rain of arrows pouring from the sky was enough to cause pressure, but the casios just ran forward and didn’t avoid the arrows.
The ones at the front were hit by the arrows, but a far greater number of casios passed through the rain of arrows. They were either being controlled or didn’t care about death. Some of them even caught the arrows in their mouths.
The centaurs listened to each other and shot arrows in succession. Dozens of casios died whenever the rain of arrows poured out. However, the distance between the casios and the centaurs was decreasing rapidly.
After the third arrow, Ferocious Eyes switched from a bow to a spear. The casios had a mobility comparable to the centaurs’ because they were rushing to their deaths.
They didn’t care about melee warfare.
Ferocious Eyes shouted angrily.
His roars shook the heavens and the earth but In-gong didn’t look back at Ferocious Eyes and the battlefield. In-gong used the mini-map to navigate the draco.
A part of the group of casios split off and headed toward the temple. It seemed like In-gong wouldn’t be able to avoid a struggle.
‘There are a lot of them.’
He guessed that there were dozens of them. It was possible because compared to In-gong and the centaurs, the casios had superior numbers.
Carack, who was on the draco next to In-gong, asked him,
”Prince! Do you just have to enter the temple?”
In-gong had to do precisely that. Green Wind didn’t tell him the specifics of the power, only that the power was sleeping in the small temple.
However, In-gong just nodded. He replied like a king talking to his men.
“Yes! We will be victorious if we arrive at the temple!”
Carack laughed at In-gong’s words. He held the dwarf axe and shouted excitedly,
”Then we will pierce through!”
Carack raised the speed of the draco and gave a battle cry as a wedge formation centering around In-gong formed naturally.
”Karaha!”
It was a warrior’s cry that raised the spirits of allies. In-gong stabbed the air with a dwarf dagger.
“Below the King’s Flag!”
It was the first time he had used Below the King’s Flag since securing the Thunder Light Anvil. The level of Conquest and Below the King’s Flag had risen.
A large flag made of pure white light unfurled behind In-gong’s back. The light spread out to cover Carack as well as Karma and the centaurs running with In-gong.
Karma, who was within the range of Below the King’s Flag, felt a spark of vitality through her body. The centaurs went wild and jumped against the wind.
In-gong felt the change. All those affected by Below the King’s Flag had become one.
”Pierce through!”
“Kuraha!”
Carack replied to In-gong’s command. Surrounded by white light, In-gong’s troops were like a sharp arrow.
The 33 casios and three creatures, which seemed to be drake ogres, were like an illusion blocking In-gong from reaching Green Wind. Instead of slowing down, Carack just swung his axe as hard as he could.
A violent clash took place. Blood and flesh scattered in the air as there was a howl.
In-gong instinctively realized something - it would be the end if they stopped. They had to keep penetrating through.
Karma jumped up and trampled on the head of a casios. Carack moved his axe like a madman as he opened the path while the centaurs blocked access with their spears.
The casios weren’t caught quietly. They ran and tackled some centaurs down to the ground. The centaurs were reinforced by Below the King’s Flag but they weren’t invincible. The sharp teeth and claws of the casios caught the centaurs.
Horrible screams hit his ears but he couldn’t stop. Carack roared loudly,
”Prince! Go!”
The road was opened and the small temple was right in front of him.
”Kuratha!”
One drake ogre cried out urgently and tried to block In-gong’s way, but it was futile. Karma jumped up to step on the drake ogre’s head while Carack’s axe struck his side. The drake ogre, who was much bigger than Carack, lost his balance and fell sideways.
In-gong rode through the open gap. He was now at the very front and before his eyes, he saw an drake ogre hitting the barrier of green light around the small temple.
”Green Wind’s barrier!”
One of the centaurs following In-gong cried out. In-gong ran straight and pulled back his right arm. A red and yellow light emanated from Earth Quaker as the draco used its instantaneous speed. The drake ogre hurriedly turned around but In-gong had already reached him and In-gong didn’t spare his aura.
The power of an explosion!
The Earth Quaker’s amplified white aura hit the drake ogre. Unlike how the casios had exploded, the drake ogre didn’t explode, but he was pushed back and fell to the ground.
