Chapter 282: Chapter 54: The Battle, This is Just the Beginning_4

Guoguo, on the other hand, was more direct, violently yanking off the Goblin Knight atop an Earth Badger. With a swift dive under the corpse, several bronze spears pierced the fallen knight as its shield sparked from the impact.

Before the Earth Badger knights had a chance to react, the corpse of the goblin knight hurled towards them - its once small golden figure now vanished from sight.

While the Earth Badger knights searched for Guoguo, a shrill cry echoed and an Earth Badger violently threw off its Goblin riders, tearing one into pieces with a single claw swipe.

Earth Badgers do not have vocal cords, yet the sound they made was as if their souls were howling in rage.

This newly appointed Earth Badger knight, Guoguo battled fiercely. Before the remaining knights could react, they met the twelfth-inch sharp claws.

Liu Zhenhan instantly pulled out his scimitar and one quick slash deflected the incoming bronze spear, sending the spear and its owner flying off from the Earth Badger’s saddle.

Vieri’s large axe then struck the Earth Badger’s forehead, cutting a gaping hole from top to bottom.

With a swift "swish", Liu Zhenhan’s scimitar flew from his hand, transforming into a javelin. A streak of light flashed, piercing through the Earth Badger’s chest and skewering the Goblin Knight on the saddle.

"Charge!" Liu Zhenhan commanded without hesitation. With a quick flick of his toes, he snagged the Wolf Fang Club on the ground and bolted into the crowd of Goblin cavalry with Vieri, not pausing for even a moment.

Vieri hesitated as he glanced at Guoguo, who was still hanging beneath the Earth Badger. Seeing the Pandas joining the battle, he quickly turned his head and urged his Giant Tree Marmot to follow Liu Zhenhan through the passage.

The Goblin cavalry’s encampment was like a delicious cake, first shattered by the Gortani Mammoth Cavalry and then further pierced by Liu Zhenhan like a dinner knife into an already fragmented formation.

The Gortani militia’s tactics were simple but highly effective. The Overlord followed the bloody path carved by the Mammoth Cavalry as the militia flanked the bandits under the cover of the Evil Aura, causing great chaos and slaughter.

Their offensive was highly focused, following the path laid out by their leader and ignoring all else, maintaining a straight line of attack.

The slaves and the Vassal Clan were responsible for clearing up the leftovers, not participating in the charge, mostly because they couldn’t keep up with the militia in terms of speed. The militia, carrying logs, could run fifty kilometers a day – far beyond the capabilities of these ragtag groups.

The Short-legged Horse Goblin Cavalry, left dizzy and disoriented by the "Slow-witted Song", had drawn the short stick. The Gortani slaves, whether Bear Goblins or Ogres, were all capable bandits, strong and stocky. Even on the ground they towered over the goblin cavalry on their Short-legged Horses. Coupled with the sluggish and clumsy movements of the goblin cavalry, there was no chance of retaliation.

Under the leadership of Captain Korina, the twelve mammoth cavalry regrouped in the center. The line of mammoths spread out to a width of forty blades. Despite lacking the overwhelming momentum of their downhill charge on the barren hills, the berserk state still retained a strong impact. The subsequent five hundred goblin cavalry, like a harpoon piercing through a fattened mahi-mahi’s belly, trampled over the bodies of the short-legged horse goblin cavalry with an overwhelming advantage. Because the charge took place on flat ground, the momentum of the mammoth herd slightly waned after making a bloody trail. With wooden logs tied to their buttocks, their speed slowed down a notch, but the unstoppable and powerful momentum still remained, continuing to advance towards the "V" battle formation of the bandit’s infantry in the rear.

If this formation is divided, it would truly be the end of the bandits.

With a thousand goblin cavalry and ten Earth Badger knights, this force was quite powerful. However, they unfortunately encountered the newly opened War Song Scroll, specifically the "Slow-witted Song" that resists the cavalry’s charging speed. Without their charging force, what use were these goblins who had become slow-witted? Although the effect of the evil aura doesn’t last long, it’s enough for the swift-attack Fei Lengcui militia.

The light of victory was in sight, and Korina issued a final battle cry.

Even as these mammoth giants move, they resemble moving meat mountains. For them, as long as the rhythm of their strides exceeds a certain pace, there would be no obstacle that could stop their advance.

The bandit infantry maintained a steady advance, with groups of four goblins holding giant shields always occupying the front lines, followed by a line of quick-stepping bandits. After the mammoth cavalry pierced through the goblin cavalry formation, they immediately raised their double-blade high giant shields. Although a bit flustered, they managed to stand them upright before the mammoth cavalry pierced through the second wave of goblin cavalry.

The mammoth cavalry were all smirking. Korina took the lead, dusting the road as she charged fiercely towards this line of shields, using the arrow formation taught by the Swan female knight Gortani.

The mounts under the mammoths were all from the family’s beasts, all with blood relations, minds in sync. An arrow charge formation was well spaced. Watching from atop the tall Iron Cross Beast, Gortani paid close attention to the mammoth cavalry’s performance. Although this mammoth cavalry team was not formed for long, this single arrow charge formation was already textbook standard and regulated.

Gortani, out of professional habit, also made a judgement. This giant shield, carried by several bandits, would surely shatter under the impact of the mammoth cavalry. Not that this shield isn’t good, but the body of the mammoth is simply too terrifying. Except for a similar-sized giant shield made of pure steel, Gortani didn’t believe there was anything else in this world that could resist the charge of this cavalry.

"Perhaps only the yak cavalry of ’God of War Whip’, or the golden knights of the Holy Temple Knights could resist their charge." Gortani thought, then sighed, overturning her own estimate. Facing this kind of brute force charge from a giant beast, even the Holy Temple Knights and the yak cavalry probably don’t stand a chance.

Just as Gortani thought the game was fixed, something unexpected happened again. About thirty yards before the mammoths reached the bandit infantry, super long spears made from fir trees suddenly stood up between the giant shields.

These tree spears, even with the bark intact, were thicker and longer than the tree spears in the hands of the mammoth giants. They were twelve blades long, thick enough to be hugged by two people, and had to be carried by seven or eight of the strongest bandits on the shields. In an instant, a dense forest of spears, obliquely pointing to the sky, sprouted in the midst of the bandits’ infantry formation.

Kampas! Gortani gasps.
