Chapter 525: Chapter 258: The Might of the Extraordinary Corps
?
What is that?
Chief Ao Duo looked confused, not understanding what was happening.
"Chieftain! Move! Get out of the way!"
The Chieftain was lost in thought when a sudden shout snapped him out of his reverie.
Chief Ao Duo’s head whipped around. Robson was already about to cut him down!
WHOOSH!
"Quick! Stop him!"
Seeing the legendary human right before his eyes, Chief Ao Duo panicked and tried to dodge, but he was surrounded by a crush of bodies.
’How could he be so fast? Was the human wall I set up just for show?’
Robson had long since figured it out. This Chief Ao Duo was the commander-in-chief of the entire Beastman Army.
First, take the commander’s head from amidst his army!
Lord Robson had used this tactic countless times.
"Wayne, save me!"
Just as the Knight Robson was about to reach the Beastman, another Silver-Tier Beastman charged forward, trying to stop him.
"Hah!"
"Die!"
Robson flooded his Knight’s Sword with Battle Qi. Instantly, two crescent-shaped Battle Qi Curved Blades shot toward the two Beastmen, brimming with vigorous power.
How could two Beastmen who hadn’t even reached the Golden Tier possibly withstand the full-force strike of a legendary-tier expert?
Purple blood spattered across Robson’s armor.
"Continue the charge!" Robson shouted, spurring his warhorse onward.
.....
Meanwhile, Bo Yang was leading the soldiers from the First to Third Corps, riding in Magic Carriages and rushing over from a distance.
Bo Yang and a few Knights from the Caucasus family charged at the very front.
The Caucasus family also supported Bo Yang’s bid to become a Baron.
"An order from the Lord!"
"Triple military merits!"
"For Affleck! Charge!"
Bo Yang drew the Long Sword from his waist and unleashed his Golden-Tier Battle Qi, stunning the battlefield.
Normally, Bo Yang wouldn’t address Robson as "Lord".
But his own soldiers all called him that, and over time, Bo Yang had picked up the habit. As for the military merits, Bo Yang had long known about them. Although he didn’t understand what Sir Robson was thinking, it was certainly an effective way to boost morale.
The soldiers of the First to Third Corps also learned for the first time that for this battle, it wasn’t a fifty percent bonus as rumored, but a direct tripling of rewards. For a moment, they were all overjoyed!
"For the Lord!"
"For Affleck!"
After receiving the order, the drivers controlling the horses at the front whipped them even more furiously.
Everyone looked at the Beastman encampment ahead as if they were looking at their prey.
...
Far away, Robson felt a flicker of doubt.
’What’s going on? Did I get the wrong person?’
Robson felt like he had been deceived. He had just charged through the enemy lines and killed their general, but the movements of the Beastman Wolf Cavalry hadn’t slowed in the slightest. In fact, they had even sped up!
Their previously illogical formation actually began to slowly adjust into an optimal position after that Beastman General died.
However, at this point, these changes didn’t matter anymore.
Robson could already feel the rumbling of wheels from behind.
The soldiers of the First to Third Corps had arrived, charging forward in their carriages.
....
"Victory to the Lord!"
Bo Yang led a group of cavalry, followed by over a hundred carriages.
"Defense! Form up! Form up!"
Bo Yang didn’t even think of stopping. He intended for the army to drive their carriages directly into the Beastman Army!
The only downside to this was that it would be hard on the horses.
The army brought out by the Beast Emperor was indeed formidable. Even while facing Robson’s charge of several hundred cavalry on one side and the approaching fleet of carriages on the other, their movements remained orderly.
Before long, a shield wall formed, preparing to intercept the human carriages.
However, the carriages under Robson’s command were specially made. Each one was inscribed with a Tier Two Magic Array.
The outside of the carriages was also covered in numerous spikes.
The only real concern was whether the horses might suddenly stop.
But while the Beastman Army had reacted, they ultimately lacked a brilliant commander-in-chief, and their response was too slow.
"Bow and Crossbowmen! Fire!"
Bo Yang estimated the distance and gave the command.
Robson’s last stock of Magic Crossbows had been used up in the previous battle against the Tiger Race. These were newly supplied.
Having been used for so long, many of the Magic Crossbows had been scrapped. Now, there were only about two hundred left.
Even so, it was enough.
Tier Six Soldiers knew how to find their own targets.
In no time, a swath of Beastmen fell.
Then, the carriages crashed directly into the Beastman Infantry’s shield wall.
The Beastmen felt a tremendous force slam into them.
Although the Beastmen had reacted and formed a shield wall, their reaction was ultimately too slow. Moreover, most of the Beastman forces were currently focused on Robson, leaving the shield wall at the front extremely weak.
Before long, the human carriages broke right through the Beastman Army’s shield wall, like a fist smashing through a taut sheet of paper.
"Aaargh!"
"Stop them!"
Some carriages plowed right over them, crushing commanders into meat paste. Of course, a good number were also blocked; after all, not every carriage could charge forward as recklessly as the first row.
"Dismount! Attack!"
"Faster!"
"Get moving."
The carriages that broke through the shield wall naturally charged deeper into the Beastman Military Array, while those that didn’t break through began their assault on the spot.
Many Beastmen thought the end of the carriage charge was the end of their nightmare. Little did they know, the real show was just beginning.
Although the Beastman Army was elite, at their very best they were only Tier Four or Five, with half being Tier Three.
In an ordinary army, their strength might be extraordinary.
Unfortunately, the army Robson brought today was far more monstrous than they could have imagined. Out of two thousand men, nearly half were Bronze-Tier Frankish Glory Shooters!
Even those who weren’t Extraordinary were at least Tier Six. The first three corps now had a 100% Tier Six rate!
This detachment of the Beastman Army had previously been fighting on the central front and still hadn’t quite processed the situation.
’Why do these humans feel so much stronger than the ones on the central front?’
The Extraordinary Warriors now began to lightly use their Battle Qi. The Beastmen were no match for them and began to flee one after another.
At this moment, the disadvantage of not having a commander-in-chief was once again made apparent.
The movements of the low-ranking soldiers were ultimately limited. Faced with the crushing pressure from Robson’s Cavalry Team and the elite Tier Six soldiers, the Beastman Infantry soon began to break, and units slowly started to withdraw from the battlefield.
"Fall back! Auduo is dead!"
"Retreat for now! An orderly retreat! We can’t handle these humans...!"
...
The tide of battle was completely one-sided. Robson looked up; the sun was now at its zenith.
Prince Noah and those high-and-mighty lords of the Knight Orders would probably be arriving soon.
’I have to engage the Beast Emperor himself before they get here. Otherwise, how will the world know that Lord Robson gave his all to fight the Beastman Empire?’
