Chapter 2482

~9 min read 1,704 words

300,000 beast cavalry marched, causing the earth to tremble. The surrounding area felt like a mild earthquake, and the vultures in the sky were startled away.

Su Xiao's side moved out, and Spring Iron Sheep's side naturally got the news. 300,000 war beasts were sent to Segona City. Spring Iron Sheep knew about it last night, but he didn't care.

Beast cavalry are indeed strong, but they need time for soldiers and war beasts to run in before they can explode with combat power. The combat power of such temporarily assembled beast cavalry would decrease rather than increase.

Su Xiao naturally knew this too, so he ordered before the whole army set out: if they were not used to it during combat, they should immediately jump off the war beasts and fight together with them.

Who stipulated that beast cavalry must fight on the backs of war beasts? Their own war beasts have sharp teeth and claws and decent combat power. Although their charging ability cannot be compared with war sheep at all, if a war beast and a war sheep fight one-on-one, the war beast is more likely to win.

Riding a war beast to run fast is enough. Su Xiao wants to invade the Peru Kingdom, and there are many opportunities for soldiers and war beasts to run in with each other.

The army marched quickly, and in less than ten minutes, the enemy's Male Sheep Cavalry met them from the front.

A full 100,000 Male Sheep Cavalry against 300,000 beast cavalry. The two armies charged at each other, shaking mountains and earth, splashing mud and water on the ground, and grass leaves flying. Soon, the vanguard troops of both sides encountered each other.

Clang! Clang! Clang……

Weapons collided, war beasts lowered their heads, and curled horns directly knocked the war beasts flying, making muffled sounds.

A magical scene appeared. In the past, if a war beast was hit like this by a war sheep, it would be dead or half-crippled. But now, those war beasts that were knocked flying only rolled a few times on the ground, shook their heads, and stood up. Blood dripped from the corner of a war beast's mouth. The soldier on its back didn't fall off. His riding skills were not good, but his physical fitness was tough.

"Roar!"

The war beast roared, its eyes blood-red. The rider on its back patted its neck, his eyes also blood-red.

"Partner, this is the first time fighting with you. Before I die, don't you fall down."

"Roar."

After a brief exchange, the war beast carried the soldier on its back and charged forward. The soldier patted the war beast's back with one hand, leaped up lightly, and stood on the war beast's back.

A trace of blood appeared on the soldier's curved blade. This curved blade was nearly two meters long, and the handle alone was half a meter, but the soldier held it with one hand.

The war beast charged forward, charging against a Male Sheep Cavalry. After seeing this scene, the Male Sheep Cavalry was stunned for a moment, then sneered. He straightened his helmet. The other party's posture of riding a war beast was simply an amateur among amateurs.

War sheep and war beasts ran wildly, and the soldiers on their backs confronted each other. Just as the two passed each other, the battle axe and the heavy curved blade drew two cold lights.

A large amount of blood sprayed, a sheep head flipped in mid-air, and behind it was the upper body of a dwarf soldier. The battle axe in his hand had been cut in two.

"Ah?"

The dwarf cavalry's face was full of astonishment. With a thud, the dwarf soldier cut into two pieces and the war sheep fell to the ground, and the blood spreading on the ground stained the mud.

That friendly soldier tilted his head and looked at this scene, then rode on the war beast's back again. On his chest, a wound crossed his entire torso, and one could even see the heart beating in his chest, but he didn't care. As a soldier who had followed Su Xiao from Sand Capital to now, this was the third time he had suffered such an injury. It would be fine after killing for a while.

"You're not bad."

This friendly soldier patted the war beast's head and grinned, ferocious and fearless of death. The main reason he didn't get promoted was that this guy was too murderous. He worried that if he got promoted, he would need to command others. In that case, how could he fight happily?

Unfortunately, such people under Su Xiao were not isolated cases. Their personalities were extremely bad, but they were extremely brave on the battlefield.

Beast cavalry and Male Sheep Cavalry Regiment were mixed together. In less than half an hour, the Male Sheep Cavalry Regiment felt something was wrong. They had lost too many people.

At this moment, the dwarf infantry arrived and joined the plain war. A great battle of 600,000 vs 300,000 began.

Hum~

A horn sounded. This horn was exceptionally long, sounding a bit like a cow's low roar. It was a friendly soldier who blew the 【Bull Horn】.

Bull Horn: If the number of friendly troops exceeds 25,000, they will gain a buff effect of temporarily increasing health by 1,000 points, lasting for 5 hours, and can buff up to 375,000 friendly soldiers.

Hearing this horn, all friendly soldiers felt warm currents appearing in their chests, as if a force entered their bodies, strengthening their vitality.

This change made the morale of friendly soldiers even higher, and the war beasts let out roars.

Behind the enemy battlefield, Spring Iron Sheep sat on the battlefield, looking around from a high place. With his eyesight, he saw Su Xiao on the opposite side. At this time, Su Xiao was standing on the back of the black dragon.

Seeing this scene, it would be a lie to say Spring Iron Sheep wasn't envious. Peru's war machines were too heavily countered by that black dragon. The dragon-hunting crossbows to deal with the black dragon were just delivered last night and were all destroyed. So far, it hasn't been found out who did it. Spring Iron Sheep always suspected that there was a traitor beside him, or an enemy he couldn't see.

"Achoo~"

Bubu Wang beside Su Xiao sneezed. It sniffed, not knowing who was missing it.

On the battlefield, soldiers were mixed together. 600,000 dwarf soldiers against 300,000 friendly soldiers was not two against one. War beasts were also decent combat power. They completely let themselves go, cooperated with their respective riders, pounced, and bit the enemy.

After the two armies were completely mixed together, the dwarf soldiers immediately felt huge pressure. Looking down from the sky, one would find that the dwarf soldiers were like stalks of wheat, falling rapidly under the hacking of friendly soldiers. The only ones who could resist were the Male Sheep Cavalry Regiment.

Ordinary dwarves were somewhat crushed under the cooperation of friendly soldiers + war beasts. With a full 10 points of real attribute increase, plus two passive ability buffs, the combat power of friendly soldiers can be imagined.

War beasts cannot gain the 'Soul-Burning Power' ability, but they can receive the buff of Blood-Bathed Fight, and the effect is about one-third stronger than that of friendly soldiers.

After fighting for a while, the eyes of all war beasts were blood-red. This was not madness, but a killing buff. Soldiers were also affected by the Blood-Bathed Fight effect. After the aura was the same, the war beasts were inseparable from their riders.

Half an hour after the war started, the dwarf side had more than 50,000 casualties, and morale began to slump. Seeing this, Spring Iron Sheep ordered his dwarf soldiers to divide into six groups, forming a charge + semi-encirclement formation.

The dwarf soldiers quickly formed a battle array and charged at the friendly troops. The result was that except for the Male Sheep Cavalry Regiment, other dwarf troops didn't break in, causing the Male Sheep Cavalry Regiment to be almost completely surrounded.

Two hours after the war started, more than 100,000 dwarf soldiers had fallen, and a small amount of rout began to appear. Friendly casualties were about 10,000.

That's right, under the blessing of the War Lord, the casualty ratio of the two sides reached a terrifying 10 to 1.

Four hours after the war started, more than 90,000 dwarf soldiers had fallen again. The rear supervision team was under huge pressure. Friendly deaths did not exceed 7,000. The Blood-Bathed Fight effect played a huge role in this. The longer the war, the stronger the Blood-Bathed Fight ability.

Six hours after the war started, more than three-fifths of the dwarf soldiers were dead or injured. The Male Sheep Cavalry Regiment had only 70,000 left, but their one desperate total charge caused more than 10,000 friendly casualties.

At two o'clock in the afternoon that day, the balance of the war began to tilt. The dwarf troops were defeated, and large-scale rout phenomena appeared. What made them desperate happened: they were facing cavalry this time, and they couldn't even run.

The war subsided at five o'clock in the afternoon. Looking around, the plain was covered with the corpses of dwarf soldiers, and the smell of blood and burnt smell were mixed, like an Asura battlefield.

600,000 dwarf soldiers, more than 470,000 died here today. The remaining soldiers escaped by luck. The Male Sheep Cavalry Regiment had less than 50,000 left, with more than half dead, but not a single Male Sheep Cavalry fled.

In the dark clouds all over the sky, the dazzling sun was half-exposed between the clouds, dyeing the nearby dark clouds red.

A dwarf soldier knelt among the corpses. Nearby, a dying war sheep spat blood foam, breathing laboriously.

Crack!

Between the dark clouds and the sun, a thunder exploded, and a bolt of lightning struck the battlefield. In the sky, the residual clouds were as red as blood.

This battle was later known as the 'Battle of Segona', the most painful war the Peru Kingdom had ever experienced, bar none.
