”Don't panic!”
Wang Chong's voice was flat and suffused with a calming air. His eyes were fixed forward and devoid of emotion.
”Believe in General Li Siye and the Wushang Cavalry. There is no force more powerful on this continent!”
The peerlessly sharp Wootz Steel swords, the sturdy Meteoric Metal armor, three layers of the Halo of Dusk Stallion, and the peak-state Ten Charges Ten Victories Formation—whether it was in power, defense, or dexterity, the Wushang Cavalry were currently at an unprecedented level.
There was very little possibility of there being a stronger force than the Wushang Cavalry on the continent. At the very least, that force could not be the Celestial Wolf Cavalry!
Wang Chong's words immediately caused the people gathered around the banner to settle down.
”Milord, should we go and assist? Shamask seems to be faring rather poorly!”
The Turkic generals on the distant hills were also watching this battle, and they were just as concerned. One of Duwu Sili's deputies had stepped forward, his eyes looking worriedly at the storm of dust on the battlefield.
”There's no need to be concerned. I believe in Shamask's abilities. The Celestial Wolf Cavalry will not lose to anybody!!” Duwu Sili confidently declared.
The Wushang Cavalry's formation truly was formidable, but Duwu Sili was still confident in Shamask's skills. This confidence was founded on past records and achievements. No matter how powerful a cavalry formation was, in the end, battles were decided by the strengths of the soldiers themselves. Although the formation was powerful, the enemy had a massive flaw that could not be fixed: their commander was only at the peak of the Imperial Martial realm.
If that Wushang commander could be killed, their formation would fall apart.
”Shamask, it's about time for you to move.”
Duwu Sili looked down upon the battle, a fierce light in his eyes.
In the distance, the battle between the two cavalry forces had reached a fever pitch.
”Everyone, follow me!”
Wielding his massive Wootz Steel sword, Li Siye barged through the battlefield, his thundering voice calling all the Wushang Cavalry to his side. The five thousand Wushang Cavalry divided themselves into hundred-man units that followed Li Siye in charging through the battlefield.
Almost no one could stop the onslaught of Li Siye's giant figure. His emblematic sword easily cut through the Celestial Wolf Cavalry, even slicing some of them in two. Not even the Celestial Wolf armor could stop a full-strength blow from Li Siye.
When Wang Chong had forged this sword for Li Siye, he had used many jun of Hyderabad ore and placed all his attention upon it. In terms of both weight and sharpness, it far exceeded any other Wootz Steel sword. However, it was only someone of Li Siye's immense strength that could use it to cut a Celestial Wolf cavalryman in two with a single slash.
As for the Celestial Wolf Illusory Formation, Li Siye dealt with it using the most primitive of methods.
Roooar!
As Li Siye bellowed, his entire body exploded with Stellar Energy that swept through the battlefield, jolting and scattering all the illusions, leaving behind only the real Celestial Wolf Cavalry. With this simple tactic, Li Siye was able to inflict grievous casualties on the Celestial Wolf Cavalry!
Even the veteran Celestial Wolf Cavalry couldn't help but feel dread at Li Siye's fierce fighting style.
”Kill him!” the Celestial Wolf Cavalry shouted as hundreds of them converged on Li Siye. No matter how dauntless Li Siye was, the Celestial Wolf Cavalry still had the advantage of numbers.
”Just what I wanted!”
Li Siye had a contemptful gaze, his body exuding a domineering aura as he urged his Ferghana steed to charge forward and meet the Celestial Wolf Cavalry. Boom! Li Siye swept his sword toward them with the weight of a mountain behind it.
These Celestial Wolf Cavalry were simply no match for the Imperial Martial Li Siye, no matter how many of them charged at him.
Buzz!
Just when Li Siye was about to cut through five or six Celestial Wolf Cavalry, he suddenly trembled, an ill foreboding gripping his heart. Almost at the same time, a soft and chilly voice, like the buzzing of a mosquito, murmured in his ear.
”Heheh, let me borrow your head!”
Although it was a soft voice, it was exceptionally clear and suffused with the smug tone of someone whose plan had succeeded. Boom! A gale exploded onto the scene as a storm of destructive energy that had lain in waiting for so long suddenly appeared in Li Siye's perception and approached him with a thunderous momentum.
Li Siye couldn't see it, but he could hear the vibration of metal as the edge of a sword swept through the air, a sound that made Li Siye tremble in fear.
”Shit! It's an ambush!”
