C5 Forest Chasers (| Down) (1/2)

General Chen was already dead in battle, but when he closed his eyes with a proud smile on his face, he was still standing upright on the ground. When the scout s came to collect his corpse, they discovered that the halberd in General Chen's hands was stuck deeply into the ground, supporting his body steadily. The halberd had long been covered with the marks of time, and there was a shallow groove where it had been held in his hand for a long time, even though it was made of iron. The halberd seemed to have a mind of its own, after the General Chen closed his eyes, he still maintained the final dignity of a man. How could such a scene not cause all the scout present to be moved?

The leader did not bury the halberd together with General Chen because the leader hoped that the halberd would become his own weapon. It would be able to witness his continuous growth, even if he died on the battlefield like the General Chen.

”Brothers, if I die in battle one day, if there are still living brothers, I hope you must come here and help me look at this general and the dead brothers.” The leader said.

The surviving scout s did not say anything, because even if their leader did not say anything, they would still do the same thing.

Out of the twenty-five scout s that he had fought, only five remained. With such a combat power in his exhausted state, the surviving scout sighed in his heart. If the state of the General Chen was normal, all of them would have died here.

General Zhong rushed towards the direction where Wei Yutian and the rest were heading. As the northern side of the road was too far away, he was tired and did not have much energy. Time was life. No matter how tired he was, he couldn't delay it.

”I never thought that Great General's judgement was so accurate, we really met a bandit group.”

”No, there's only one. It wouldn't be here to stop us and buy time for Wei Gou's escape, right?”

”Send a few more people to continue searching, and get rid of the rest.”

”Could he have underestimated his opponent?”

”No problem, the other party is obviously very tired, fighting him with more than a dozen scout, although there are risks, but in order to complete the mission, he can't care so much.”

scout who was specialized in spying on others quickly thought of a countermeasure when facing a face to face battle with General Zhong.

The General Zhong was not in a hurry to attack, and a few scout s ran past him. He did not make a move to stop them, but allowed them to pass. Clearly, he was verifying his own judgement. However, the moment these scout disappeared from his range, he immediately regretted his actions, ”How can I be so foolish? If I let them pass so easily, wouldn't that be proof that there is no one behind me that I need to protect?”

scout length was surprised that General Zhong did not try to stop them, but he did not do anything else as he thought to himself, ”This bastard let them pass so easily. I hope that these people do not meet with bandits directly, otherwise they will not even have the chance to report to the Great General. ”

Both parties were prepared for this, but scout length did not want to wait. The longer the fight dragged on, the more dangerous it was for them.

”Brothers, form the formation. It doesn't matter if we live or die.”

With scout length's order, all of the scout quickly formed a ”Dragon Confining Formation”. This formation was specifically designed to kill strong and powerful generals. They surrounded the General Zhong in two layers, one of them wielding a long spear, proficient in close combat; the other wielding a short blade, proficient in long distance combat with lightness exercise. The reason for this was because if the opponent were to fight on the ground, each inch of the weapon would be stronger. Even if the opponent were to get closer, there would still be companions with short blades behind them who would seize the opportunity to attack. If the opponent used the lightness exercise, and killed from the top, those who were adept at it in the outer layer would be able to use the lightness exercise to suppress the opponent back into the array. This way, he would be able to trap the enemy tightly, and he would be unable to escape even if he wanted to.

How could the General Zhong not understand the enemy's intention to set up a battle formation? However, he did not intend to escape in the first place, and wanted to fight to the death. His weapons were a pair of linked copper hammer s, weighing a total of seventy to eighty kilograms. As long as he swung them, they would be severely injured even if he were to graze them.

”Come! ”Under my dual hammers, it's either you or me.” General Zhong shouted.

The General Zhong reacted quickly and directly went forward to meet it. Before the spear reached him, he swung the hammer horizontally, and then, bent over, he threw the twin hammers. The pikes in front of him broke, and he bent down so quickly that the pikes behind him could not pierce him. The two hammers were thrown out, knocking the four people in front of him down to the ground and causing them to vomit blood. The scout in the outer layer also had no time to dodge as they fell to the ground.

After the first strike, General Zhong immediately pulled back his hammers. Taking advantage of the time when the scout was retracting his spear, he quickly turned around and threw his hammers out once again. How could the scout defend against the impact of the twin hammers? One by one, they blocked with their spears, and the few people in front of them were also blown away like broken cloth bags. Even though they had used all their strength to block it, they still took a few steps back. General Zhong took the opportunity to rush up and sweep the hall with one leg. The other scout s lost their balance and fell to the ground.

In three moves and two moves, five scout s were already injured and unable to stand up straight. But General Zhong was also exhausted, and he did not have much energy left in his hasty march. Now that he was continuously swinging such a heavy pair of hammers, no matter how strong he was, he still felt that his strength couldn't match his heart.

”This guy is really amazing, he can even dance with the weight of the twin hammers.” A scout said in surprise.
