Chapter 47: Blood Rains (1/2)
Chapter 47: Blood Rains
The gasps of the soldiers, the screams of the wounded, the yelling of the officers, the colliding and breaking sound of metal…… these sounds that would normally cause a chill to people’s bones joined together under the defensive wall and formed a deathly symphony.
A round of cheers came from the defensive wall; it was too difficult to contain.
All their fears and worries turned into loud cheers.
The godlike axe strike hit the tower shield-dragon lance formation, but it also hit the heart of everyone on the wall. It was like a torch fire in the darkness; it gave them hope and ignited their blood and souls.
On the defensive wall, everyone knew who that axe belonged to. Everyone knew whose face was under that helmet, because everyone had watched the young and brave king slide down the defensive wall and stand at the very front of the other men. His back faced his followers as he faced the cruelest enemies.
Everyone on the wall was crying. They screamed, jumped and threw their arms into the air wildly, as if they could empower the brave men who charged into the enemies and fought alongside their king.
On the other side of the Zuli River.
The silver masked knight was feeling gloomy. His attitude of watching a good show with confidence disappeared. His expression was like that of finding out that he had bit on a hard rock and chipped his teeth after biting into a piece of delicious flesh.
After that axe was thrown, his heart beat faster and he knew something was wrong.
The tower shield formation that he was proud of didn’t even hold for one second, and was smashed open by the enemies. Their ease in charging into the formation was a huge slap to his face.
The devastating power that the axe carried made him feel threatened for the first time. This shouldn’t have been the power of any man. There wasn’t any surge of energy, so what kind of power was that?
“Black knights, pass down my command, abandon the chaotic front formation and transform to [Lock Formation]; make sure to envelop those guys. Put up the dragon lances and keep some distance, don’t fight them recklessly……”
The silver masked knight calmed himself down quickly and displayed proper adaptation abilities and executed another plan.
His eyes weren’t fooled. He could tell that the ‘death squad’ of twenty-ish weren’t star warriors, but simply ordinary men who had a ton of physical strength. When the battle went on, they would tire out eventually and it would be easy to kill them.
However, the silver masked knight didn’t want to wait any longer. Although he was trained to be calm during any situation and was taught many techniques to command armies and read people’s minds, after consecutive losses in battle against ant-like enemies, he felt ashamed. He decided not to wait any longer and crush the enemies with the most powerful method he had and conquer Chambord Castle at once.
After he thought about it for a while, he spoke coldly while biting his teeth, “Tell the three star warrior Landes to stop protecting the trebuchets and join forces with the rest of the tower shield soldiers to eliminate those bastards right away……Get the rest of the army prepared; start sieging right after that!”
After the silver masked knight thought about the two commands and made sure that they covered everything, he waved his horsewhip and the black knights rushed to pass on the commands.
……
……
On the bridge, the battle was still continuing.
By using the monstrous strength of the level 12 Barbarian, Fei smashed open a way into the formation. The twenty two strongmen followed him tightly; together, they were like a matchless blade that pierced the enemy’s heart.
