Volume 1: Three People Travel Together Chapter 119: Shattered

  The scar-faced general was confident in his long spear formation.

  However, if he were to personally step onto the smoky battlefield, facing the Golden Branch cavalry and their commander head-on, he probably wouldn't be so confident - because the penetrating power of these raiders was simply astonishingly strong.

  Whether it was the carefully set up layered roadblocks or the steel defense line built by the heavy knights, or even the defensive facilities constructed with overturned carriages and stacked tower shields, they were all unable to stop the charge of this cavalry.

  The raiders formed five arrows, dividing into five routes in the Flowing Water County, rampaging and destroying. At the forefront of each arrowhead were sixty elite heavy cavalrymen from the Golden Branch Army. They broke through defense after defense with a dense triangular formation, like a heavy hammer smashing against glass, unstoppable.

  And in the middle road, where the Black Flame Legion resisted most fiercely, there was a killing god who made the Black Flame soldiers tremble with fear.

  Midi Zolghadri

  Compared to the time when he faced off against the Crimson Flame Legion in the war of the nobles, Midy had become even stronger now, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his abilities had transcended to a whole new level.

  At that time, he could only switch between the two professions of Jianhun and Guimian, except for using the controlled ghost array, all attacks relied on the large sword in his hand. However, now, he is a strong man who has mastered all four systems of Guijian Shi, close combat with Jianhun skills to kill, control mainly with Guimian's ghost array, long-range, but can rely on Ashura's wave sword skill to suppress firepower, its power is absolutely not under that of ordinary elementalists.

  It can be said that the current Medici is all-around, both long-range and close-range are fine, and it's also possible to instantly kill long-range with close-range skills, and bombard close-range with long-range skills. There is no dead angle at all, and the means of restraining the enemy and choosing are extremely rich.

  Not only that, in a battle, the most important magic consumption for an individual is also negligible for Midee, who has extreme will flowing inside her body. Once the extreme will is exerted, its magnificence far surpasses what thin magic can be compared to, even if it's the top-level magic of the Magic Bullet Queen, which pales in comparison to the extreme will.

  The power of the extreme, all four systems are fully open, the experience and skills of rebirth, plus a powerful mount full of spirituality, all these factors combined, thoroughly transform Mide into a humanoid war machine.

  One man, one sword, one leopard, wherever they pass, it's as if a fierce gale carrying the stench of blood and rain has swept by, leaving behind only corpses and wreckage.

  Sixty heavily armored cavalrymen carrying lances followed closely behind.

  Three hundred and forty men, from light cavalry to bow-armed cavalry, continuously launched attacks.

  But everyone was expressionless.

  From initial astonishment to subsequent shock, Middy's terrifying combat power indeed made these cavalrymen feel unbelievable, feel awe, and even look up to him. But after watching for a long time, the crowd only felt numb in their hearts.

  It's not numb, if they're always distracted, they can't even catch up with Middy's back. Although they are at the forefront of the charging array, facing a large number of enemies, Middy's advancing speed is still extremely fast, as if there is no stagnation at all, and the cavalrymen have to urge their horses to keep up with him.

  So, compared with surprise and shock, the cavalry could only be numb.

  Only by ignoring Meddy's strength could they focus on fighting.

  To some extent, this can be said to be an overkill result.

  But of course, no matter how strong one is, a person's power still has its limits.

  "Retreat target, North Gate of Liushui County." Mi Di finally gave the order.

  Although the raid was extremely smooth and destructive, and a big kill had been made, Mideco had never indulged in the foolish emotion of "I am the best in the world". As the commander of the 2000 troops, he was always paying attention to the overall battlefield. Now that the best time period had passed, the Black Flame Army was withdrawing, and it was time to retreat.

  Excessive confidence and greed will only lead to failure. For reborn Mide, this mistake is naturally not something he would make.

  Immediately, Odette, who was right behind Middy, fired a dazzling signal flare into the moonless night sky.

  Target, North Gate. This is what this signal flare represents.

  Soon, the five arrowheads that crisscrossed in Liushui County accelerated and converged in the same direction, like five rapid rivers, breaking through one dam after another, finally reuniting once again.

  And Mide, still at the forefront of this new giant arrow.

  The Black Flame Legion is gathering rapidly. However, the chaotic alley battles, narrow field of vision, complex streets, and icy night colors have become the best cover for the raiders. With Midori's unparalleled opening, the main gate of Liushui County is already in sight.

  However, Scar's prediction was still one step ahead of Mideer's actions.

  When the iron torrent composed of two thousand cavalry finally arrived in front of the North Gate, the long gun formation that the Black Flame Legion was proud of had already been deployed and had been waiting in a tight array under the protection of the defensive fortifications.

  It is said to be a long gun formation, but in fact these two thousand people teams are composed of three types of soldiers.

  At the forefront are the giant shield soldiers. They use a nearly one-person-high huge curved shield, three people in a group, one holding the shield, one using their body to support the shield, and one using a wooden stick to prop up the shield. Even the charge of heavy cavalry can hardly shake such a combination.

  After the Hoplites, came the true Pike men. These soldiers held pikes that were six meters long with serrated edges, standing in neat rows. The back row rested their pike handles on the shoulders of the front row, all the way to the very front row, extending the pike heads out from behind the giant shields, forming a seamless wall of pikes.

  From a distance, the long spear formation seemed like a solid turtle, combined with a porcupine full of sharp quills, making it difficult to attack and even harder to break through.

  But even more cruel is that at the end of this massive creature covered in thorns, there was a third type of soldier - heavy javelin throwers. These soldiers were tall and large, using specialized handheld instruments to throw long spears, their attacks capable of directly pinning a cavalryman and his horse to the ground.

  Once the momentum of the cavalry is blocked by the giant shield wall and then disrupted by the long spear, the cavalry will immediately become the target of these javelin troops, and one after another will be turned into human skewers by the heavy javelins that come flying in.

  This is the foundation of the Black Flame Legion, long spear formation, the nemesis of cavalry.

  And now Middie is about to lead a purely cavalry team to break through this large formation.

  "Following my sword, although this time it's not a sword," Midy said, shaking off the heavy bloodstains on his greatsword and putting it back into the huge scabbard behind his back. Then, he drew out an unremarkable hilt from his waist and grasped it in his hand.

  The tip of the hilt shone brightly for an instant before transforming into a shining sword.

  And the next moment, Midei violently shook his wrist, accompanied by a deafening crackling sound like thunder, a dazzling flash of lightning appeared in mid-air like a giant dragon.

  Jianhun Special Skill, Broken Army Rising Dragon Whip

  Of course, Mide's whip technique is still far from enough. From the time he obtained the inheritance to now, it has only been more than a week, not even ten days.

  Even if he had the insight and experience of his past two lives, it would still be a bit difficult to grasp the essence of this unique inheritance of fencing in such a short period of time.

  Although the whip technique is not refined, it is more than enough to break through the formation, especially this giant shield and long spear formed cavalry killer array.

  As for why, it's not because Mide is arrogant, nor is it because he blindly believes in the Broken Army Dragon Whip. Rather, it's because he had already tested its effectiveness in actual combat with Feena over the past week.

  The Black Flame Legion is famous for its long spear formation. Since they knew this, Mide naturally started discussing and pondering with Feena from the time they left Rose Mountain City on how to break through the long spear formation, and conducted various attempts. The result was that the "Turtle Shell + Boar Tusk" formation of the Black Flame Legion had a peculiar effect on the Broken Army Rising Dragon Whip.

  So, Mi Di would propose the tactic of taking down Liushui County within two days with an arrogant attitude at the meeting in Fulong Fortress.

  Perhaps to the generals of the Golden Branch, this was a reckless gamble, an arrogant blindness, a willingness to sacrifice the cream of the Hamilton family's forces. But only Middy and Feena knew that this was a battle carefully calculated, with full confidence.

  After all, the most basic quality of a commander is prudence, and as for someone like Mide who has been reborn, he is naturally prudent to the extreme. In situations where there are many choices, he would never intentionally take risks, everything was well-prepared in advance.

  Others find it unthinkable, only because they can't see those hidden chips.

  Just like the Broken Army Rising Dragon Whip at this moment.

  All that could be heard was a sharp whistling sound tearing through the air, and in an instant, the air was ripped apart. Then, a whip-like strike came crashing down with overwhelming force.

  There is only one whip.

  Because Meddy has only learned this move.

  Named "Moving Mountains".

  As the name suggests, the biggest feature of this move is not its speed or power, but rather the transmission of force. This transmission allows the impact force on the whip to be transmitted directly to the human body through the shield and armor.

  A whip cracked out, and a series of deafening roars rang out.

  The next moment, nearly thirty giant shield-bearing soldiers at the forefront of the long spear formation were all turned into bloody mist and flesh under that one whip strike. They splattered everywhere, scattering in all directions. The shields they held up like an iron wall, along with their armor and helmets, clattered to the ground.

  In an instant, the "turtle shell" of the long gun formation collapsed, a shocking sight.

  "Right now, follow me with your swords!" Midei shouted, "Charge!"

  The iron torrent behind him was shocked at this moment, and then surged forward like a tide, unstoppable.
