Chapter 450: Successfully Taken
Yueguang City, a cavalry troop of fifty arrived outside the city; this was a Knight troop from Feilunsibao.
It was led by Meteor Knight Huonasang Hoden, accompanied by one Golden Knight, three Silver Knights, eight Bronze Knights, and the remaining thirty-seven were all Advanced or intermediate Knights.
Feilunsi did not transfer these people to the front line, but instead sent them to Hesusu, which was enough to show his determination to create chaos.
"Haha, Sir Huonasang, long time no see!"
Hesusu greeted them outside the city and gave a warm hug.
Huonasang was an old man over sixty, a native of the Gregorian Plain; he had never been to Wangdu, and the people here almost did not know him.
Because Hesusu had been to Feilunsibao, the two had met once before.
"Your Excellency Count, long time no see!"
Huonasang knew the purpose of his coming here, but he did not know the true situation of Hesusu; Duke Feilunsi had not told him about this.
He was a relatively direct person who focused on his goals, so he began to ask about the situation here in his second sentence.
"I heard your town was attacked by Wushan Territory, has the battle here already begun?"
While welcoming the people into the city, Hesusu exaggeratedly described Luoning's arrogance and domineering nature; in short, one sentence—Wushan Territory needed to be suppressed, otherwise they would have no regard for the royal family.
As the two were discussing, Huonasang did not notice the black-robed man standing on the city wall, the Witch Soul Bead in his hand emitting a pitch-black light.
"Very good material, thanks to Feilunsi."
At three o'clock the next morning, Aierlong cast the Exhilaration Technique several times over a super-large area, so that the well-fed and rested soldiers had not the slightest fatigue, and it also eliminated the frustration and pessimism in their hearts regarding the war, making them extremely spirited.
Subsequently, the army of Wushan Territory divided into two routes, upper and lower, along the plain road, heading straight for Nasika Town and Pisa Town.
The speed of the cavalry was very fast, but the marching speed of the Infantry and Archers was not fast.
Fortunately, they did not carry much supplies or equipment, which lightened the burden along the way and thus increased their speed.
Fortunately, the distance from the camp to the town was not very long; after a rapid march, and with Aierlong casting a few Exhilaration Techniques along the way, Luoning and his party arrived in the woodland five miles outside Nasika Town before nine o'clock.
Luoning used the Detection Wind and discovered that there were no Witch Soul Knights patrolling the surroundings, which saved some trouble.
He let everyone eat and drink their fill, take a short rest, and then in one go crossed the five-mile distance to attack the town.
At the same time, because the distance of the lower route was short, the team of Ruidar and others had already arrived outside Pisa Town.
It was just a small town, with only low Earth Walls at the entrance, and one look told them it did not have much defensive power.
The Witch Soul Knights guarding Pisa Town knew that enemies had arrived outside the town, so they immediately blew the Horn, gathered everyone to prepare to meet the enemy, and all surged toward the town gate.
"Suofeiya, it's up to you," Ruidar said.
Suofeiya gave a hum and directly used the Flame God Roar to strike.
After a period of earth-shaking, the first wave of charging Witch Soul Knights were all blasted into powder.
Just like last time, she summoned water elements and fire elements, directly stunning the enemy.
At this, the knights who had never seen the world could not help but feel their throats go dry.
"A Magician, truly ridiculously powerful!"
Mawen recalled the huge flames from just now; if he were on the opposite side, he would definitely have been blasted into slag too.
"Archers, attack!"
Ruidar ordered loudly.
The Archers, still in shock, reacted and hurriedly drew their bows and released arrows; dense arrows shot over, disrupting the opponent's formation.
It was just that this kind of damage was painless for the Witch Soul Clan; even if shot through by arrows, they would not die given their constitution.
And at this time, the other side also reacted, and an Archer squad fired arrows toward this side.
Suofeiya used a Magician-level Clear Wind Spell, and a gust of wind blew past, directly causing most of the opponent's arrows to lose their aim.
Only a few Magic Arrows continued to shoot over.
Ruidar drew his long sword, swung out Sword Radiance, and cut the arrows: "Everyone, charge for me!"
He bent his legs and then kicked off the ground violently.
In an instant, the mud on the ground was blasted away, and Ruidar rushed over like a cannonball, leaping two hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
Battle Qi surged, and all the enemies rushing toward him had their bodies cut open by the sharp sword energy before they could even clash with his blade.
"Charge!"
At this time, Aini Lu and the others followed up.
Suddenly the cavalry began to charge and kill, followed by the Infantry, the militia, and the Archers who put away their bows and took out their swords to go up and reap the harvest.
There were seventy or eighty thousand Witch Soul Knights and Witch Soul soldiers, but the situation of the battle was completely one-sided.
Suofeiya sat on the Magic Flying Carpet watching the battle from above, her gaze falling on Ruidar.
"Worthy of being the former Commander of the expeditionary force who killed the Shadow Lord; Ruidar seems to be a bit stronger than Luoning, especially his response methods when facing encirclement are more crisp and neat."
This feeling of hers was indeed correct.
Before experiencing the battle of one against ten thousand at Taersi Town, Luoning's combat level was lower than Ruidar's, but now even if there was a gap between the two, it would not be that large.
As Ruidar, this Blazing Sun Knight, led the team into Pisa Town, the resistance of the Witch Soul Knights was easily torn apart like fragile paper, and the battle entered its final stages not long after it began.
On the other hand, in Nasika Town, the battle of Luoning and the others had also begun.
He and Ruidar adopted basically the same combat style: first use Magic for the first wave of attacks, then the Archers disrupt the formation, the Knights begin the charge...
The three Meteor Knights had no capital to resist at all, and under the attacks of Luoning and Hameng, they soon perished on the battlefield.
The battle proceeded exceptionally smoothly as well, ending in less than forty minutes; at this time, there was still about an hour until noon.
When Luoning and Suofeiya swept through Taersi Town, the time spent was much longer than this.
There is strength in numbers; that is not false at all.
Hameng scanned the battlefield and laughed: "There is one benefit to fighting the Witch Soul Clan: you don't have to clean up the battlefield much."
Everything had turned into powder; even if you wanted to sweep, there was nothing to sweep.
However, although there were no corpses of the Witch Soul Clan, there were corpses of their own people.
Although the battle went smoothly, casualties were unavoidable.
According to Luoning's rough estimate, the number of Knights and soldiers killed by the Witch Soul Knights was at least in the double digits.
Fortunately, with Aierlong there, as long as the injuries were not immediately fatal, he could provide a certain level of treatment, reducing the mortality rate to a certain extent.
Luoning jumped onto the roof and shouted loudly: "Those who are not injured, conduct a carpet search of the entire town, kill all the alien races, take all surviving humans as prisoners, and do not kill indiscriminately!"
Just like that, the two small towns were captured by Luoning and the others without any effort.
At this moment, inside Yueguang Castle, Mofisite's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it.
"Damn Wushan Territory!"
He had originally planned to launch an offensive after the people from Feilunsibao arrived, but he did not expect the other side to be a step faster than him.
From the information transmitted by the Witch Soul Bead, he could clearly perceive that the forces he had deployed in Nasika Town and Pisa Town had all been wiped out.
So much Soul Power, wasted for nothing!
"A Marquis Territory actually split its forces into two paths to attack simultaneously, and they won so quickly; how could they possibly be this strong?"
With the lesson of Taersi Town, while Mofisite contracted his defensive lines, he also strengthened the arrangements of his troops and overall strength.
Yet the result was that they died even faster than last time, which was something he could not have imagined and could not accept.
"Luoning, Lulansi, Suofeiya, they definitely still have powerful Knights or Magicians that I don't know about!"
Mofisite frowned; what he had expected even less was that Wushan Territory would actually dare to openly invade the territory of Hesusu.
"I wonder what the royal family will do after learning this news?"
A sinister look flashed in his eyes, "No matter what the royal family does, the main force of Wushan Territory is here, and the other places must be weak; it is time for them to attack!"
Mofisite suddenly laughed, as if the loss of the troops in two towns did not matter to him at all.
"Finally, it looks like things are getting chaotic!" (End of this chapter)
