Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 387: Heavy Cavalry Crushing

"Bang!"

A massive, deafening boom abruptly resounded at this moment!

It was Zhao Xuanxuan. Wielding her Enchanted Iron Hammer with both hands, she traveled at a maximum speed of nearly eighty kilometers per hour, her entire body shrouded in a bloody-colored afterimage. In the split second that the Level 5 Stone Giant brandished its dozen-meter-long log and was about to sweep it across, a single hammer strike violently blasted into the Stone Giant's left knee!

Just a single hammer strike made it feel as if this entire hill ridge nearby was resonating in harmony, and the earth itself was trembling.

There were no words to describe the power of this hammer strike, and it was impossible to comprehend the damage it brought forth.

Regardless, it felt entirely as if it had met its nemesis.

In an instant, the knee of the Stone Giant—hard as granite and as thick as two millstones—shattered directly into powder!

And Zhao Xuanxuan didn't even possess the interest to spare it another glance. Her entire person, along with her Four-Star warhorse, resembled a violent gale, an afterimage precisely weaving through the large trees, and then rammed headfirst into those fifty heavily armored Half-Pigmen!

That Level 5 Stone Giant was still wailing. Its body lost control and toppled over, the large log in its hands crashing down, but it was practically meaningless.

The other heavy cavalrymen, who coordinated with tacit understanding, had long anticipated this scene.They dodged out of the way several steps in advance. Similarly, no one spared an extra glance at this Stone Giant that had fallen to the ground, even if it hadn't truly died, and even if its shattered leg was rapidly regenerating.

It didn't matter!

In this moment, starting from Zhao Xuanxuan, the forty-two heavy cavalrymen practically formed a single whole body, a highly, highly agile whole body that made even Li Wei marvel in awe. A whole body that could be likened to art, because their tacit understanding was simply too great.

Also because they had no weak links and were powerful enough.

That's why they could achieve such tacit understanding.

Li Wei truly became a bystander. Even if he wanted to make a move, he didn't even have the opportunity to do so.

"Bang!"

It was another heavy, merciless sound of collision. A heavy shield forged of fine steel seemingly turned into a twisted dough stick in a single moment, soaring into the air and flying off to who knows where. As for the heavily armored Half-Pigman wielding the heavy shield, he flew backwards dozens of meters like a balloon.

And this was merely the result of a single hammer strike from Zhao Xuanxuan.

Even though at this very moment, there were at least three long spears and two axes striking toward her and her warhorse.

But it was completely useless. She didn't even need to activate that Sequence 3 Magic Crest.

It couldn't be helped; her defense was too thick.

Or rather, her speed was too fast, causing all the incoming attacks to be misaligned.

In almost the blink of an eye, she had already pierced clean through this thin battle formation. The Enchanted Iron Hammer in her hands was also swapped for the Tiger Head Great Blade at this time.

With a flash of her blade, the head of a Half-Goatman already soared into the sky.

It was so masterfully skilled that it made one's hair stand on end in horror.

But even so, Zhao Xuanxuan herself didn't even have the chance to slash out a second strike.

Because following closely behind her, Mark, Javier, Santiago, Grant, Xavier, Seth, Paul, and the others had already surged like a torrent, instantly scattering the battle formations of those heavily armored Half-Pigmen and Half-Minotaurs into pieces.

Because the weapons they were using were entirely three-meter-long fine steel spears.

Both hard and long. Combined with their high speed and borrowing terrifying power, one thrust and a victim went completely silent; one thrust skewered a whole string of victims.

Among them, the formidable and badass individuals like Javier, Santiago, Grant, and the other four who possessed the Riverside Knight title didn't even need to loosen their grips; acting purely on the strength of a single arm, they could send hundred-and-fifty-kilogram heavily armored Half-Pigmen flying.

However, they only had this single round of attacks. They didn't have the opportunity for a second round before sweeping past like a fierce wind rolling up fallen leaves.

By the time the third wave of heavy cavalry rolled past, there were no longer any living heavily armored Half-Pigmen or Half-Minotaurs.

As for those lightly armored Half-Dogmen and Half-Catmen, they were like fleas; just ignoring them was fine.

They couldn't even break through their defenses.

That's right, the person was wearing Enchanted Three-Star Heavy Armor, and the horse was also draped in Enchanted Three-Star Horse Armor. In fact, the thickness and defensive power of the horse armor was actually even stronger...

All of the above occurred within a mere five seconds!

Crackle-clatter, and it was over.

Oh, there were also Centaur Archers roaming on both flanks. The explosive arrows they shot out were as gentle as pop-its played by children.

However, they soon awaited Li Wei's suppression.

Yes, if he didn't make a move now, Li Wei felt he would truly just be superfluous.

Moreover, these Centaur Archers were currently fleeing in defeat.

They were directly beaten into a stupor.

In the area of running away, they still possessed quite an advantage.

Especially in this kind of terrain, within a dense forest.

There was no real necessity to pursue.

By the time Benjamin reorganized the lightly armored cavalrymen in the vanguard unit, Zhao Xuanxuan had also coincidentally smashed that Level 5 Stone Giant to death, exterminating all the lightly armored Half-Catmen and Half-Dogmen in passing. Ultimately, the number of Centaur Archers that managed to flee was less than fifteen.

The battle ended just like that.

Their side suffered no casualties but slew three Level 4 Half-Goatmen, one Level 5 Stone Giant, 45 heavily armored Half-Pigmen, 5 heavily armored Half-Minotaurs, and 20 lightly armored Level 4 Half-Catmen and Half-Dogmen in battle.

The gains were not bad: 74 Four-Star Universal Gold Cards and 1 Five-Star Universal Gold Card.

"Everyone come over and enhance your weapons and equipment."

Li Wei shouted, only swapping that Five-Star Universal Gold Card for a Silver Token.

The rest were entirely used for enhancement.

Simultaneously, it could also restore enchanting durability.

As for what exactly to enhance, Li Wei didn't care either. Anyway, one Universal Gold Card per person; decide for yourselves.

For the excess ones, start numbering off from Zhao Xuanxuan. Next time there's a chance to enhance, follow the sequence again.

All of this was agreed upon beforehand, so there wouldn't be any disputes.

Those light cavalrymen wouldn't have any strange ideas either.

Soon, after the enhancements were completed, Li Wei immediately ordered a retreat. This was not a place to stay for long. Leaving this mountainous region and returning to the highway, Li Wei once again saw that white flying bird trailing in the sky over a dozen kilometers away.

So, that roaming Ability User squad from just now had separated from this Neanderthal Cross-Border Player?

Haha!

Li Wei didn't care at all, leading the team westward along the highway at a rapid gallop, until another roaming Ability User squad appeared ahead once more. The opposing party was also traveling along the highway, entirely composed of Centaurs moving at a very fast speed. Thus, with almost no buffer period, they bumped right into each other.

It seemed this was a roaming squad that got the message and wanted to come over and flank them?

Li Wei noticed the Neanderthal Cross-Border Player on the opposite side at first glance. It was practically like an enemy meeting an enemy, their eyes blazing with exceptional redness. Without any hesitation or delay, both sides launched a charge at the exact same moment.

Yes, a charge!

Even those Centaur Archers took out their spears or long sabers, because they all saw clearly that nearly half of Li Wei's side was heavy armored cavalry. Damn it, what the hell are we going to shoot at?

"Kill!"

Li Wei spurred his horse forward in silence, while Zhao Xuanxuan let out a loud battle cry from behind.

In just a few short seconds, the heavy sound of hooves drowned out everything.

The earth was trembling, the mountains were roaring. Li Wei was even somewhat terrified; he felt as if he were caught in a violent torrent. This was entirely different from single combat.

He initially charged right at the very front. He locked onto that Neanderthal Cross-Border Player, and the other party locked onto him as well.

Logically speaking, the sequence to follow should be a King matched against a King, a General matched against a General, and a Soldier matched against a Soldier, right? That's how it normally goes.

But a mere few seconds later, Zhao Xuanxuan surpassed him. We're riding the same kind of warhorses, on what grounds are you faster than me?

If only it were just that, but Benjamin, Santiago, and Grant also swiftly surpassed him. Followed by Paladin Mark—this bastard even turned his head and gave him a lingering look the instant he surpassed him, as if to comfort him.

Damn it, fuck!

Are you bullying me because I don't have a Cavalry Card? But I have a Scout Card! Can't a Scout's Destiny Grid make a warhorse accelerate even faster?

This is so fucking unreasonable!

But Li Wei no longer had the time to think, because in the very next second, Zhao Xuanxuan had already collided head-on directly against that Neanderthal Cross-Border Player. The opponent was absolutely a master of horseback combat. The long spear in his hands was like a swift gale and lightning, striking Zhao Xuanxuan's chest with a single thrust and instantly triggering the death immunity trait of a Magic Crest.

But Zhao Xuanxuan also smashed her hammer onto the skull of his warhorse.

The very next instant, before this Neanderthal Cross-Border Player could retaliate with anything, Benjamin had already pierced thrust his long spear, viciously flipping this Neanderthal Cross-Border Player up. A mysterious light flickered, granting him immunity to the attack; the opponent also possessed a Sequence 3 Magic Crest.

His overall strength wasn't even inferior to that Centurion Cao Nima from back then!

However, Zhao Xuanxuan and the others were no longer what they used to be.

At the exact instant this Neanderthal wanted to finish Benjamin off with a single spear thrust, Santiago had already pierced thrust his spear like a violent gale as if receiving a relay baton, instantly sending this Neanderthal into stiffness once more.

Can't break your defense, right? You have magic that immunizes you from certain death, right?

It doesn't matter, we understand it all!

If you're so capable, then keep them coming!

At this moment, Zhao Xuanxuan, Benjamin, and Santiago practically didn't pause for even a second, rushing past like a whirlwind. Meanwhile, Xavier, Javier, and Seth acted like interlocking gears, without the slightest error or gap, completing their respective long spear piercing thrusts.

That Neanderthal possessed a body full of skills in vain, but under their terrifyingly skillful and tacitly understanding attacks, he was completely powerless to counterattack.

He was hard-controlled the entire process. Just as his feet landed over here, before he could even exert any strength, a spear had already precisely and viciously pierced through from over there.

In a short period of two to three seconds, the armor on this Neanderthal flickered continuously like decorative lights during the New Year, looking exceedingly beautiful!

At this moment, his look was filled with despair and horror.

Yet he could do absolutely nothing, much like Li Wei's state of mind at this exact moment.

That humiliation of being trampled upon, how remarkably similar it was.

Damn it, the guests are stealing the host's thunder! That's enough from you guys!

But it was useless.

Li Wei finally realized right then and there just what heights Zhao Xuanxuan, Benjamin, Santiago, and the rest had elevated the tacit understanding of a combat charge in a flat and broad battlefield environment.

A formidable opponent like a Centurion-level Five-Star Neanderthal Cross-Border Player was actually so utterly powerless at this moment.

Just like an ant, helplessly watching himself be flipped over and crushed entirely flat, without the slightest fraction of leeway to resist.

Li Wei didn't even have time to interfere. He could only watch helplessly as the iron cavalry swept past like a torrent. When Paul and Jocelyn crossed past, their long spears successfully broke through his defenses, skewering that Neanderthal into a candied haw. Then Mark's mace smashed down.

By the time Li Wei finally charged to the front of this Neanderthal, he had already become a corpse!

Fuck!

Then he only had time to pick up the dropped Gold Cards and Purple Cards, before being swept up by the other heavy cavalrymen, rushing past in bewilderment and helplessness.

And then the space ahead was empty, holy shit?

Where are the enemies?

And where am I?

Didn't you say there were over a hundred Centaur Cavalrymen on the opposite side?

Fuck!
