416 Deific Consciousness Attack (1/2)
The cavalrymen on their horses were bedecked in heavy armor from head to toe, leaving only their eyes exposed. Even their horses had their eyes covered with cloth. Obviously, it was an impromptu modification to prevent the horses from panicking after seeing the ferocious beast.
The rumbling grew faster amidst the resonant horn; gradually, it crackled with the tension of speed.
”Charge!”
The order was not from the enemy, but emanated from a vehement Yun Yang!
Even when faced with the enemy’s indestructible heavily-armored cavalry, Yun Yang had never entertained the thought to retreat. It had never come across his mind to back down today.
No matter who or what he faced today, he would dive into it head-first!
There was a saying about never backing down until there was a dead end; even if Yun Yang had met a dead end, he still would not back down. He would want to see if he would crack his head and die, or the dead end would come crumbling down instead.
The Niello Bear, as a high-level mystical beast, was equipped with no small amount of intelligence as well. It was aware of the situation it was in. With an earth-shattering growl, it sped up, turning into a trail of yellow light that dove heavily into the well-armored cavalry.
The cavalry kicked their horses in the flanks to get them to move faster; seeing the impending arrival of the beast, they drove forward with a roar. Picking up the pace, their twenty-five-foot spears were pointed forward. All five hundred men hollered in unison, ”For the kill!”
Bam!
The Niello Bear’s gigantic body met the charge of the heavily-armored cavalry with a grinding roar. The resultant quake was horrible to hear!
Rows of cavalrymen leading the charges practically flew off with their horses, as a huge gap appeared in the formation as a result of the titanic collision.
The Niello Bear let out a low growl with viciousness spilling from its eyes, but there was also blood oozing from the corners of its mouth. It took a step back, it's swift advance halted abruptly.
Ziyou’s army had seen past Blackie’s defenses and identified it's obvious weaknesses. They had taken the most direct and effective route; utilizing human lives to forcefully put a halt to its forward momentum. If the Niello Bear’s speed were to be allowed to increase, the combination of its strength, weight, and speed would form an unstoppable juggernaut and no one would be able to stop their charge all the way to the West Gate.
As Blackie’s momentum was inhibited, spears came flying from every direction like a forest of trees. If the arrows earlier had formed a downpour, the spears now formed a canopy!
Blackie’s momentum was obstructed, but its injury was not severe. It did not take the canopy of spears into consideration at all, merely resuming its brutal attack and savaging the remaining cavalrymen.
Its attack was stupendous. A casual wave of its paw could send a cavalryman flying away, but the heavily-armored cavalry’s advantage was apparent – they were well-protected!
Even when faced with the mighty paw of a high-level mystical beast, the heavily-armored cavalry could maintain their vitality despite not being able to attack swiftly. These five hundred men would be able to keep the Niello Bear at bay for the time taken to make tea or even longer!
Yun Yang’s mind was spinning; he managed to steal a peek, despite the fact that he was standing in the eye of havoc. He saw a muscular general with hawk eyes standing far away. The man was issuing commands calmly as the command flags and horns resounded.
The heavily-armored cavalry switched their formation in responses to the horn, moving those severely injured and could no longer fight to the outer circle. Other than those who were killed from Blackie’s paw strike, a lot of those heavily injured could save themselves as more relief troops poured in.
If this continued, there was bound to be a time when Blackie would be exhausted, no matter how vicious it was; when that time came, it would be the end of it all.
Yun Yang would never allow this to come true. With a flip of his wrist and a ragged cry, the Divine Edge greeted the world once again.
As an iridescence radiance flashed in the air, Yun Yang charged into the cavalry formation like it was merely a wisp of smoke. Another three cavalrymen were quickly severed into six separate pieces alongside their horses, where the saber light passed; with a twirl, over twenty horses' feet were chopped off, severed where the saber light had struck.
Amidst the shouts and neighing, Yun Yang charged forward with large strides. The radiant saber light wrapped around him was dazzling. Any enemy who blocked him from the front fell, one after another if they made the foolish mistake of trying to face him.
