Chapter 1099: Chapter 286: Magnificent! Tauren Warrior!_4

They cried out the name of the War God Kampas, as blood plasma served as the ink to inscribe their bravery and shattered flesh as the scales to measure their strength. Every sweep of their heavy totem pillars, bound with iron hoops, created a no-man’s-land within the radius of the battle. Whether it was man or camel, those struck by their totem pillars were completely smashed away, soaring into the sky with splattering blood and flesh, before crashing heavily to the ground.

There was no more dust, for the ground had been completely soaked in blood!

There were no wounded soldiers! A hit from a totem pillar of such a heavy weapon only brought death!

The strength of the Buer Warriors, even among Beamons, was only matched by a few powerful races!

In close combat, another major flaw of the Mulanese surfaced, and it was quite fatal—the valiant Mulan Cavalry was merely equipped with soft armor of camel hide and rivets!

In fact, not only the Mulan Empire but the vast majority of Desert Kingdoms also lacked the tradition of equipping soldiers with steel armor, for two main reasons:

The first: Desert men generally detested donning steel armor, as wearing heavy Battle Armor would severely limit their ability to execute swift and intricate blade techniques.

The second: Curved sabers forged from Uz Fine Steel were weapons capable of slicing through iron like mud. Light chainmail offered no real resistance, and heavy plate armor wouldn’t stand a chance against a Snow Camel’s charge, given the powerful inertia—it was, after all, impossible even for the Mulan Empire to use Uz Fine Steel exclusively in forging armor, as the material was not that abundant in the desert.

In truth, even if the Mulan Cavalry had been outfitted with Uz Fine Steel armor today, it would have been in vain against the Tauren’s totem pillars; even wearing heavy armor, the terrible impact required to withstand the blows was enough to cause a warrior inside to spew blood profusely!

In the Imperial Guard, the Buer Warriors of the Bloodhoof Squadron served as Heavy Infantry. Their armor, although rudimentary compared to that of Aegeanian nations and appearing as ragged as a Beggar’s, seemed exceptionally luxurious against Mulanese Cavalry equipped only with leather armor. In close-quarters combat, armor was the warrior’s life! Stripped of the momentum of their charge, even if the Cavalry struggled to throw their spears, they could not effectively penetrate the Tauren Warriors’ armor and Stone Skin, inflicting only superficial damage that further enraged the bloodthirsty Buer.

But misfortune still continued, and then grew, eventually spreading. The entire battlefield was like a pot of boiling oatmeal stirred vigorously with a large stick.

The chaos and confined space hindered the Mulan Cavalry’s delicate swordsmanship but provided a stage for the Tauren to perform.

Under such crowded and disorderly circumstances, flashy swordplay was nonsense, whereas simple and direct chops were the most effective means of attack. For the Tauren Warriors, who reveled in such chaotic melees, it was an arena where enemies surrounded them; they simply had to swing their totem pillars freely!

The Mulan curved saber was one meter long.

The ironwood totem pillars spanned two meters twenty.

Accounting for their height and arm reach, the Buer Warriors joyfully smashed one enemy head after another, relying on heavy armor and the Stone Skin Technique to negate the need for defense—despising even the need to defend. Their brains, seething with Berserk fervor, ached only for the taste of their opponents’ fresh blood!

The Mulan Cavalry, in despair, found that, even in groups of three or five, their sharp blades hacking deeply into the wood of the totem pillars time and again could hardly stop such primitive and heavy weapons. They could only watch helplessly as the totem pillars, along with the riders and their Snow Camels, went "crack" and were together smashed into meat patties.

"We are sure to win!" Prince Lionheart’s confident roar trembled the earth.

The situation for the Mulanese was indeed not optimistic.

With fewer than seven hundred frenzied Tauren Warriors, like hungry wolves breaking into a sheep pen, their large and terrifying attack radius turned the stiff formations of the Mulan Cavalry into a massacre festival. The sounds of snapping bones and dull thuds of bodies hitting the ground became the most dreaded noises for the Cavalry.

If they couldn’t counter effectively, three thousand Mulan Cavalry were no match for the Tauren. Without long weapons and equipped only with curved sabers against such formidable heavy armor, destruction was only a matter of time!

Some Buer Warriors, in the heat of slaughter, even threw away their totem pillars and, gathering in groups of three or five, dug in for repeated small-scale counter-charges. Their heads, with sharp and hard curved horns, were like giant daggers, flipping over both the snowy white steeds and their riders like a hoe turning soil. Wherever the horns swung, blood splattered everywhere. Even if some Mulan Cavalry wielded their sabers to slash through the Tauren flesh with all their might, the Buer paid no heed—this was the Buer Tribe’s secret technique "Horn Fighting"! The top combat skill that turned the Buer’s horns into lethal weapons against the enemy! The Tauren of the Bloodhoof Squadron had only mastered the basics of this ancient combat art; it was the Golden Ring Warriors who were truly proficient in this technique.

Today, the Golden Ring Warriors, long vanished from the annals of history, reappeared once more in Beamon’s battle line, their eyes shining brightly, galloping across the blue skies.
