Chapter 369: Hutton Kingdom

On the ground, endless warriors from the Hill Kingdom continued pouring down from the southern highlands.

Although the overall situation was settled, these Hill Kingdom warriors still had to surrender by throwing down their weapons and equipment.

Battlefield conditions changed in an instant; to ensure absolute safety, this was a necessary procedure.

As for their weapons and equipment, someone would retrieve them later.

Though troublesome, if one feared trouble on the battlefield, it might cause even greater trouble!

"It's over."

In the sky, Meng Ying whispered softly.

As for the seven Spiritual Essence clusters of the Seven Holy Spirits, Lin Yan had already collected them; the other Holy Maidens had already received their shares, while Lin Yan held onto the portions belonging to Meng Ying and Luo Ying, to distribute after the war.

"Sister Meng Ying, the Hutton Kingdom's army is coming!"

At that moment, the fox girl Qing Ling flew over, seated on a female winged human, pointing northward.

The Hutton Kingdom's army had finally arrived!

The Hutton Kingdom had deliberately pinned the Hill Kingdom's main force on the southern highlands, waiting to reap the benefits.

But the battlefield was too vast; the Hutton Kingdom could not fully monitor its situation. Their three Holy Spirits, to avoid provoking the Seven Holy Spirits, had not taken to the skies, instead using the time to replenish their strength.

Now, the Hutton Kingdom's army judged the moment ripe and launched their full force up the southern highlands, preparing to cut into the battlefield and become the beneficiary.

At this moment, the three Holy Spirits of the Hutton Kingdom finally rose into the sky.

"Huh? Where are those seven?"

The three Holy Spirits saw none of the Hill Kingdom's Seven Holy Spirits in the sky—only Meng Ying—and grew uneasy.

"Did any of you sense a violent surge of energy?"

One Holy Spirit asked.

"We didn't feel anything. So, did those seven retreat?"

The second Holy Spirit asked.

"Possibly. Didn't expect those seven to be such cowards. What do we do? Attack?"

The third Holy Spirit asked.

"Look—what's the situation on the battlefield?"

At that moment, the first Holy Spirit pointed toward the battlefield dozens of kilometers away.

As powerful Holy Spirits, they had each reached Seventh or Eighth Rank upon arrival and could clearly see the scene dozens of kilometers distant.

The warriors who had been on the southern highlands were still pouring endlessly into the Yan Kingdom's battle formation, passing through its center to reach its rear.

There was no way around it—the eight hundred thousand warriors were too numerous.

It would take hours before all of them could pass through.

"What's going on here?"

The second Holy Spirit was completely baffled.

"These people are surrendering! Who'd have thought the Hill Kingdom could surrender this way? Their commander is truly bold and meticulous—he came up with this idea to preserve their strength! Send cavalry after them! Kill as many as you can!"

The third Holy Spirit said.

"My god has just sent a divine decree: the Flame Lord may be suspicious. Have our warriors pursue, but do not initiate an attack. Focus entirely on guarding against their Forbidden Spell Mages and the Flame Lord. My god's gaze has already descended and can unleash holy light at any moment."

At that moment, the first Holy Spirit said.

"Sister Meng Ying, their cavalry is here!"

In the sky, Princess Luo Ying pointed to the cavalry charging down from the southern highlands.

These were Hutton Kingdom's armored cavalry—more agile than heavy cavalry, yet better armored than light cavalry!

Their numbers reached tens of thousands!

They surged forward like a river of steel, chasing the Hill Kingdom's army!

At least half of the Hill Kingdom's forces still remained between the southern highlands and the Yan Kingdom's lines.

"The Hutton Kingdom's armored cavalry is coming!"

Seeing the armored cavalry chasing from behind, some Hill Kingdom warriors turned pale.

They had stripped off their armor and discarded their weapons; against armored cavalry, they would have no resistance.

Though the armored cavalry were still far away, they would catch them before they reached the Yan Kingdom's defensive line.

These Hill Kingdom warriors regretted discarding their weapons too soon.

But even if they hadn't discarded them, they still couldn't stand against armored cavalry under these conditions.

Facing armored cavalry, they were now completely disorganized, with no battle formation at all—utterly incapable of resistance!

"Order: all mounted warriors advance. The werewolf rear guard follows."

In the sky, Meng Ying issued the command.

As a winged human relayed her order, the mounted warriors surged out of their formation and raced swiftly toward the rear.

Behind them were twenty thousand werewolf warriors—the werewolf rear guard, equivalent to a reserve force, originally intended to counter any surprise attacks.

Twenty thousand mounted warriors and twenty thousand werewolves quickly reached the rear of the Hill Kingdom's troops.

The Hutton Kingdom's armored cavalry were still several kilometers away.

The twenty thousand mounted warriors formed ranks: ten thousand heavy-armored mounted warriors in front, ten thousand light-armored mounted warriors behind, and behind them, the twenty thousand werewolf warriors.

Once the formation was perfectly aligned, the mounted chieftain roared: "Advance!"

Twenty thousand mounted warriors and twenty thousand werewolves charged forward in a mighty wave toward the Hutton Kingdom's armored cavalry!

In the sky, both the three Holy Spirits and Princess Meng Ying watched below—neither side moved.

The Hutton Kingdom's god, in fact, had also cast his gaze down through the three Holy Spirits.

On the ground, many of the rapidly running Hill Kingdom warriors had stopped and turned back to watch this confrontation.

These soldiers of the Hilin Kingdom had clashed frequently with the Houton Kingdom in recent days and were well aware of the terrifying power of Houton's armored cavalry.

They had also suffered many losses at the hands of the armored cavalry.

So they all wanted to see how this duel would end.
