Chapter 486 486: A Man Who Never Suffers Losses (Seeking Subscription)
The Disaster Legion knew this well, as did Sifuer and others, who were among the strategists of the battle! After seeing Pei Yan truly fulfill all the promises he made, not only Bailang but even Kodwen, who had been indecisive before the battle, excitedly gripped the longsword in his hand.
Victory! Victory! This is the closest they have come to a major victory since the annihilation of the three great legions!
"Lord Bailang, I didn't expect that guy to actually pull it off!" After saying this, Kodwen dismounted and knelt on one knee before Bailang, pounding his chest with his hand, and pleaded, "I know I am not your trusted aide, and I know I have been indecisive and cowardly before combat. Please forgive the shortsightedness and ignorance of an old soldier clinging to life. Today, the ally granted by the Demon God has given us a fair chance at battle. I, Kodwen Dawnlight, am willing to pledge my loyalty and the rest of my life, only to ask for a cavalry unit for me to personally lead into battle. I swear that no matter what kind of battle we face, I will fight to the death and not retreat, to win this honor for the Kataraga Autonomous Territory!"
"These words should not be said to me, go and swear your loyalty to the Lord! Out of the way! I am leading the army to attack!" An unusually excited Bailang pointed at Kodwen with the whip in his hand and shouted loudly, then led his troops out of the dense forest.
Looking at Kodwen, who was kneeling again before him, Sifuer raised his head high, clicked the horse's belly to ride beside him, dropped the whip from his side in front of him, and lightly rested the longsword on his shoulder, "Take my whip and go to Res to get three hundred cavalry to join the battle. I hope you don't fail your oath!"
"Yes, my lord!" Kodwen bowed his head, picked up the whip on the ground, raised it high above his head, and respectfully responded. Only after Sifuer's longsword left his shoulder did he stand up, holding the whip, ran back to his eight-legged beast, mounted it, and galloped to the distance.
At this moment, outside the forest was already filled with battle cries, as the Demon Race charged out for victory and the Disaster Legion charged in for survival. The two torrents collided, causing a wave of blood to surge up.
In the sky, shadow source insects burning bright would occasionally streak across, crashing into the further ranks of the Disaster Legion. The watchers and eagle-headed Demon Race fighters in the sky were locked in combat, while the completed Hell Three-headed Dog lunged at an armed fighter, tear wildly at its flesh.
The Red Armored Warriors, forming the backbone of the Disaster Legion, once again exploded with their amazing combat power. Facing an onslaught several times their size, this army remained composed and held their formation. Like a screwdriver thrust into the Demon Race formation, it might advance slowly, but it steadily led its troops in breaking the Demon Race Legion's blockade bit by bit.
Bailang barely parried a strike from an advancing Red Armored Warrior. From its strength, he could tell that this was a strong opponent who had survived several rounds of battle, likely one of the commanders of the Disaster Legion. During a brief exchange, Bailang glanced at the battlefield and saw that most of the eager Demon Race fighters swarmed around the Red Armored Warrior, but the battlefield was too narrow for the troops to fully spread out, so many people could only move around but could not make a strike.
Alas! The Kataraga Autonomous Territory had too little combat experience, these soldiers were full of passion but lacked experience, seeing this situation, he could only look towards a figure that was fighting back and forth among the distant crowd, and shouted: "Do not tangle in the duel with the Red Armored Warriors! The main force follows me to stall the enemy; Res, listen to Kodwen's command! Lead your cavalry to quickly clean up the armed men on the periphery with the vassal army!"
Upon hearing this command, a middle-aged knight leading the charge in front of Kodwen had an ugly look on his face, clenched the longsword in his hand, and finally retreated unwillingly to Kodwen's rear. With the command in hand, Kodwen's face showed joy, then he pointed with the longsword, linking with Res and his seven hundred cavalry, turning the battlefield and charging straight at the armed men's positions.
At this moment, Pei Yan, having absorbed the strength of the Red Disaster and fully recovered, led Ye Ruozai and the others through the Teleportation Mirror to the outskirts of the junction battlefield.
Looking at the battlefield roaring with battle cries and rivers of blood, even Xiayu couldn't help but feel her blood boil, rubbing her fists as she looked down and asked, "Are we going to charge straight in?"
Pei Yan looked around, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The main battlefield doesn't need us for the time being. It's well-staffed enough to withstand several waves of attacks from the Disaster Legion. Let's first support Leohard and his team. They've been fighting consecutively, and losing their vassal army now makes it a tough battle for them."
"Better a timely help than a superfluous one!" Ye Ruozai, standing beside, responded with tacit understanding.
Pei Yan chuckled, "Exactly, they've been pressured enough already before! Leohard is Sifuer's trusted aide, so let's do her this favor!" At this point, a fierce look flashed in Pei Yan's eyes, and he muttered in a low voice, "Besides, there's a debt I haven't settled!"
As Pei Yan had mentioned, at this moment, Leohard's unit tasked with intercepting was already mired in a fierce battle. Seeing the distant Red Disaster disappearing, this group understood that something had gone wrong in Napas Valley. With the same idea as the reinforcements, they could only strike with all their might to break the blockade, meet the reinforcements, and withdraw together to the Bull Territory.
For this, the Disaster Legion had launched three or four nearly suicidal attacks without regard to cost, causing Leohard's legion to suffer heavy losses, nearly to the point of collapse.
But even in such difficult circumstances, Leohard was not a bit discouraged, nor were the knights under his command, each filled with fighting spirit! The Red Disaster was still missing, and the sound of fighting had already reached from behind. They all understood that this meant the plan was unfolding smoothly. All they had to do was stick to the plan, hold the line here until the main force annihilated the enemy, and not retreat even if it meant total annihilation.
"Captain, I never thought we wouldn't die on the way to the Holy City but would die in these previously unheard-of barren mountains and valleys!" With her armor shattered beyond repair and no longer able to fully crystallize it, Jena rested on her longsword, gasping, and smiled bitterly as she mocked herself.
"Do you regret it?" Leaning against a big tree, Leohard, whose eight-legged beast had died and had switched to ground combat, looked at the Disaster Legion regrouping after being repelled and preparing to attack again, and responded with a smile.
"No regrets!" Jena, seemingly annoyed by her long hair, deemed beauty irrelevant with death so near, raised her sword to cut off her hair, threw it aside with a light sigh, and said, "This battle will be enough to go down in history, and to be a part of it, to sacrifice my life for the Demon God, for the Kataraga Autonomous Territory, and for Lord Sifuer is my honor!"
"Don't rush to your death, Jena! We still have hope!" Leohard looked up at a looming light in the distant sky, grinning at the corners of his mouth, "I hate that guy, hate him with all my heart! But I have to admit he has a good habit!"
Seeing Jena's puzzled look, he continued, "That guy never allows himself to suffer a loss, not even a little one!"
