446 The Wolf Bandits Go To War! (1/2)

The pack was incredibly fast, its speed exceeding that of Yutang's Steel Cavalry and Dongxuan's Shadow Cavalry. When the throng came near and Fu Baoguo could see them, he was even more shocked.

The pack did not wear helmets, donning only leathers of odd shapes and sizes; some of the people were not even clothed properly, wearing only tattered scraps. Such was the squad that had unexpectedly joined the battle uninvited, shrieking and shouting like madmen.

Their target was Dongxuan's Shadow Cavalry.

”What the f*ck is going on?” Marshal Fu was bewildered at the sudden development.

The ultimate showdown of the world's top two cavalry units was being interrupted by a thousand scavengers who looked no different from a bunch of bandits. Where did the courage of these men come from?

This was a suicide mission.

”The newcomers are Wolf Bandits!” The assistant general beside Fu Baoguo looked equally shocked.

”Wolf Bandits have never cared for the vagaries of right and wrong, background and origin; they rob whoever they want without exception and have even been the targets of both Dongxuan and us… Why are they helping us this now? They are charging right into Shadow Cavalry's formation – why are they charging to their own deaths?”

”Wolf Bandits? Are they Wolf Bandits?” Fu Baoguo's mouth was wide open.

He was at a loss for words.

He had heard of this gang of raiders that only existed in legend, but it was only a petty problem to Fu Baoguo. They were not worthy of the army's efforts, so he had only done the part of a passive listener. It was only a small group of men – no matter how much ruckus they caused, it would not be of great import.

When the war ended, they could send any military troop to wipe them out.

However, their current actions, all out to help Yutang's Steel Cavalry, was simply bizarre. What was going on? Would anyone care to explain?

”Even if they're from Yutang and it's understandable that they want to requite the nation, aren't these actions too impulsive? Clearly, those fools have not put much thought into it.”

Fu Baoguo mumbled, ”Is the head of this Wolf Bandits only a brute of a man without a reasonable mind?”

His guess was spot-on. He Dachui was indeed a brute of aman without a reasonable mind!

He was barely literate and what he had done most of his life was brawling. In the past, he would still consult Wolf Bandits' adviser, but this time, he believed what he saw, he believed that his gang's strength was enough to seal the fate of the battle. That was why he joined in the war, uninvited.

If one had to nitpick about what was strange, it was the fact that the Wolf Bandits' adviser did not stop his 'suicide' rush. Instead, he had followed right into the battleground. That was also why He Dachui was certain that his decision was undoubtedly wise and smart!

In spite of this, He Dachui, who had just joined the battle, regretted it almost immediately. He was quickly filled with remorse!

It was entirely different to watch from afar and to personally participate on the battleground – they were two completely different things.

Each of his brother's cultivation base was indeed higher than any given man from the Shadow Cavalry or Steel Cavalry. The Wolf Bandits' individual speed and even their horses' explosive power were far superior.

All these assumptions were correct. He Dachui was right and his judgment was accurate as well. The only error he had made was after he had joined the war and abruptly realized that their assumptions were indeed their made-up guesses. Nothing was substantial, even their stronger cultivation base was utter bullsh*t!

One by one, the Wolf Bandits could be paramount to the Shadow and Steel Cavalry – there was no doubt about it; three to three, Wolf Bandits could still triumph while the cavalries could try their luck in targeting a single person and maybe killing one of the trio; ten to ten, the Wolf Bandits would still have the advantage and they would most probably end with half the casualties for the bandits while the cavalrymen were wiped out entirely.

When it came to hundreds of people though, the one who would be defeated was none other than the Wolf Bandits. Their only hope of survival was to flee with their superior speed.

As for the thousand-men war that He Dachui had imagined prior to this, there would be a decisive victory indeed, but it would belong to one of the two cavalries. The Wolf Bandits would hardly be able to escape the fate of being annihilated.

Therefore, when such large armies were going against each other right now, the Wolf Bandits had no room for defense. They had leaped right in only to be chopped into pieces.

Yes, they could only be slaughtered!

What He Dachui had imagined being a landslide victory in the battle once they lay their ambush, and thus contributing to merits, had not happened! What he could witness was only one-third of his eight hundred brothers falling the moment they charged into the battle.

He blinked in disbelief. When he looked again, there were only less than two hundred people left!

It was too fast.

They did not even have time to attack. Once they had entered the battleground, the enemy's weapons came from every direction, showering upon them like a storm.
