Chapter 1571: Humiliating Xingtian
Xingtian was furious, and no longer caring that he was still stark naked, he demanded his Weapon from someone and prepared to charge up and deal with them. How could he endure this? They had come to harass his Battalion time and again, and he had just gone over to fight a round; this was completely disregarding him.
This time, no matter what, he had to kill these beasts, otherwise how could he stand this harassment?
"Warriors! I will reward a cow to anyone who kills one! Whoever kills one, it belongs to them!"
Xingtian offered the reward, and this immediately stirred up everyone's passion. Everyone felt no fear, and ignoring their own exhaustion, they picked up their Weapons and prepared to fight.
However, the Huaxia Soldiers had no intention of charging the camp. When the distance was about right and the enemy had already begun to gather in their direction, they immediately lit the Explosive Packs they held in their hands and threw them with force.
Taking advantage of the perfect timing, they took another one, continuing to light and throw.
The Explosive Pack with its Fuse still burning was tossed into the crowd. One of them discovered it and even picked it up. He only saw it smoking and thought it was some method the Huaxia used to light fires. Just as he was preparing to pat out the smoking part, with a 'Boom—', everyone around witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
No matter who it was, no one could have imagined a person could be shattered like that, blown directly into minced meat that splattered everywhere. Flesh and blood mixed with various bodily fluids splashed onto everyone nearby, and the shrapnel contained within the Explosive Pack itself also caused immense damage to those around.
Those within the blast radius were almost all hit; only the area behind the person who was blown to pieces suffered less injury, because the body had blocked a considerable portion of the damage.
Those who were blasted but not dead, or those who were not hit but saw it, completely dared not move forward. Some even began to vomit. This scene was truly too terrifying. They had seen people torn apart by wolves, eaten alive by bears, and trampled to death by elephants, but they had never seen a way of dying like this.
Added to that loud noise, it completely shocked the people here. Following that came continuous loud bangs. The gathered members of the Xingtian tribe no longer had any thought of charging forward; instead, they were retreating incessantly.
Even Xingtian was bewildered by this sudden turn of events. This loud noise—wasn't it the Heavenly Thunder they had spoken of? It actually existed; they weren't lying to him!
He also dared not move forward. Facing unknown danger, he chose to retreat and pull back. No matter how good he was at fighting, one against three or four, he truly had no confidence in his own flesh against something that could blow people to pieces, unless his body was made of stone.
The Huaxia Soldiers also did not expect the effect of the Bombs to be so obvious at the Xingtian Battalion; they hadn't even completed their set goals yet, and they had already retreated.
Each of them carried six Explosive Packs, thinking that at least four should be thrown into the Xingtian Battalion's camp, with the remaining two carried as a means to delay the enemy and attack on the way back. But this seemed impossible now; they were too far away from them to throw.
Just like that, riding their horses, they moved slowly while holding the Explosive Packs, selecting their targets. And everywhere they faced, all the people of the Xingtian tribe had to retreat a few steps, and the Weapons in their hands had to be held a bit higher.
"Forward, forward! Press forward!" Seeing this, the Huaxia Soldiers became even more valiant, and the Xingtian Battalion Soldiers, not knowing the situation, were forced to retreat again.
Suddenly, a Soldier saw the naked Xingtian, and he headed in Xingtian's direction. A group of Xingtian Battalion Soldiers immediately surrounded Xingtian, attempting to use their bodies to protect him.
"You must be Xingtian!" the Soldier shouted loudly.
Xingtian pushed the crowd aside and stood out directly: "Yes! I am Xingtian!"
"Xingtian, I suggest you had best surrender early, or flee back to your tribe. Otherwise, can you endure a method like mine?"
Xingtian was not threatened: "Just come if you will. Even if my entire Xingtian Battalion dies, I will still defeat you. No matter how powerful your Heavenly Thunder is, it cannot scare me."
"Fine, Xingtian. Since you say so, then I will give you another Heavenly Thunder. If you aren't afraid, come over and fight us again, come for revenge. Otherwise, our Soldiers will all come over!"
Having said that, the Huaxia Soldier lit a Bomb and threw it in Xingtian's direction. The Xingtian Battalion Soldiers immediately pulled Xingtian back. Xingtian was not that stubborn; when it was time to run, he still had to run.
This Bomb didn't actually blow up anyone, as the distance was still quite far, and it could only serve to intimidate. After this display, all the Huaxia Soldiers immediately retreated, but their speed was kept very slow, as if to humiliate Xingtian, though in reality, it was to lure the people of the Xingtian Battalion over; otherwise, wouldn't their ambush have been in vain?
The furious Xingtian truly fell for it and immediately ordered: "Pursue! Pursue for me! Kill them, charge and kill them!"
Xingtian himself also took his Weapon and began to pursue. He had to kill the person who had just mocked him with his own hands; only then could he vent his hatred.
At the same time, he did not forget to warn his Soldiers: "Their Heavenly Thunder should be that smoking thing they throw from their hands. If you see it, stay far away. They can't throw it very far."
In reality, most of the Xingtian Battalion Soldiers had already seen the scene of the Huaxia Soldiers throwing Bombs, and they had also discovered that the thing would explode after a while once thrown; it must be what the Huaxia called Heavenly Thunder.
When you don't know what something is, that is when you are most afraid. It is like reaching into a hole in the ground; you don't know if there is a rabbit, a snake, or a frog inside. You will be afraid if you touch something slimy, but you will be pleasantly surprised if you touch something furry.
Although they still didn't understand why that Heavenly Thunder worked, they knew it wasn't that bizarre or terrifying; it wasn't summoned by people, but thrown, and there was time to dodge it, so the sense of fear was not as strong.
Now that the Huaxia were attacking them and mocking them so much, who could stand it? They couldn't stand it at all, and so the vast, mighty crowd began to chase after these Cavalry. The camp was left directly empty, with few Soldiers remaining.
The slow-moving Cavalry felt a bit panicked seeing the countless enemies behind them, because they felt they might have over-fulfilled their mission. They had lured too many enemies, and the people they had in ambush might have a hard time fighting.
Thus, they had no choice but to be ready at any time to throw the Bombs they carried onto the ground. As long as they slowed their speed and could dodge the Spears thrown at them, they would have the chance to throw the Bombs on the ground and wait for the enemies to come over to blow them up.
