Chapter 1145: Redeeming Former Glory
Under everyone’s stare, the two most powerful people in the black and white legion collided into each other.
“Victory!” the godly knights of the Godly Execution Knight Legion roared at the same time.
“Invincible!” the cavalrymen in the mixed legion of Chambord shouted back without fear.
The roars of these tens of thousands of soldiers shook the sky as they cheered for their leaders. The two men who were battling right now represent the most powerful individual combat force in their legions.
To the godly knights, Atkinson was the symbol of victory.
Ever since the creation of the Godly Execution Knight Legion, they had never seen anyone who could block a single lance strike from Atkinson. Every time Atkinson’s lance struck out, an enemy died. There were no exceptions.
To the mixed legion of the Northern Region Empire, Golden Lion Lampard represented invincibility.
Although this mixed cavalry legion was recently formed, the supreme Emperor Alexander and the priests of the Beast God Palace poured their hearts and souls into it. The position of the legion commander was determined through a series of fierce competitions, and many orc masters and human masters in the Northern Region joined. In the end, Golden Lion Lampard who recently came out of his cultivation defeated all opponents and won this seat, becoming the no.1 master and the legion commander of this mixed cavalry legion.
The two people who represented the confidence of the two legions engaged under everyone’s stare.
Boom!
The silver lance and the black sword surpassed the speed of light and collided.
At that moment, it seemed like the world turned silent.
An unprecedented sense of abruptness appeared in everyone’s mind.
The shocking explosion and mushroom-cloud-like energy surges that people anticipated didn’t appear.
In the center of the battlefield, the two supreme masters who collided into each other seemed to have turned into two beautiful statues along with their mounts and weapons. Time and space froze around them.
The deadly silent lasted for about four seconds.
Then, the terrifying energy waves finally appeared.
Boom!
With the two supreme masters as the center, powerful energy waves dispersed into the area like ripples. The dried grass on the ground instantly turned to dust, and the naked black soil underneath started to shake as well.
Dust surged into the air, covering every inch of space. Then, under the forceful and tornado-like airflow, the dust quickly settled down.
At the point where the silver lance and the black sword collided, a thin light screen suddenly appeared, looking like a mirror.
The silver-haired and grey-eyed Atkinson and Golden Lion Lampard instantly dashed into this mirror-like light screen strangely, disappearing from the battleground.
Almost at the same time, eye-piercing light lit up in the sky, and streaks of terrifying energy rolled and tumbled.
Many cracks appeared in space, leading to the void. The two supreme masters moved in the void and battled, and their silver lance and black sword collided and created sparks that seemed like stars were exploding. All this could be vaguely seen on the ground.
This was a real god-level battle!
After encountering a real opponent, both Lampard and Atkinson couldn’t meticulously control their energy. In order to avoid injuring their own cavalry legion and destroying the Strait of Naples, they reached a tactical understanding and decided to battle in the high-sky.
Even though the two supreme masters were battling in the sky, the terrifying residual energy still surged on the ground.
Tornadoes tore chunks of land into the sky and left bottomless grooves on the ground.
If the situation continued, the thousands of cavalrymen of the two legions who were charging in the front and hadn’t engaged yet might be blown into the air.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
A series and holy spiritual battle song sounded in the Godly Execution Knight Legion, and they could purity people’s souls.
Then, silver flames appeared in the legion that was charging forward, turning into many shadows of giant battle angels. The giant white angel wings flapped in the air, emitting energy that dropped down onto the godly execution knights. Then, a mid-tier silver energy ring appeared around every one of them.
“Victory!”
These more than 10,000 godly knights roared at the same time, and their presence rose.
Under the empowerment of the battle ring, their strength doubled, and the presence of these 10,000 soldiers seemed like that of one million soldiers.
The silver holy power that these knights were emitting connected the ground with the sky. Looking from afar, this entire area was silver, and the holy and majestic presence filled the world, crushing toward the mixed legion like an avalanche.
This legion was instantly united, and the residual energy waves created from the two supreme masters’ battle was completely canceled out when they were less than 100 meters away from this legion.
…
“This is the unique battle technique of the Godly Execution Knight Legion, holy power battle ring…”
This scene made Cassano who was observing gasp, and his face changed color.
The most elite cavalry legion of the Inter Milan Empire and the AC Milan Empire, [Lightning Knight Legion], was ranked within the top ten on the entire continent, and it was invincible for a period. It was famous in the Central Region for its combat ability, and it conquered cities and occupied land with ease. However, when charging against the Godly Execution Knight Legion of the Holy Church, the Lightning Knight Legion only lasted less than 20 minutes before it collapsed and was cleanly wiped out.
The core reason that led to the obliteration which the soldiers of the two empires didn’t want to recall was the battle ring of the Holy Church. The mages in the Lightning Knight Legion couldn’t win against the priests of the Holy Church in terms of empowering their soldiers with bonus strength and other attributes. The unique battle ring of this legion was the counter to almost all cavalry legions.
That scene where the Godly Execution Knight Legion crushed the Lightning Knight Legion was imprinted in Cassano’s mind.
Now, seeing the Godly Execution Knight Legion using the same trick, Cassano grew anxious and was worried that this powerful mixed cavalry legion that his brother just put together might be wiped out in its first battle. Therefore, he couldn’t help but shout to remind Fei.
However, what happened next on the battlefield stunned him!
…
As if it was a direct response to the changes that took place in the Godly Execution Knight Legion, a series of loud singing sounded in the mixed legion as if they came from the singers’ souls.
The singing contained a type of energy on pair with the power in the holy spiritual battle songs.
Then, many giant, mystical, and b—–l symbols appeared in the sky, and endless light poured down into the cavalrymen like a shower of light. Something similar to the battle rings of the Holy Church appeared on these cavalrymen’s body.
Their strength and presence instantly skyrocketed at a fast speed.
The orc cavalrymen and their mounts were especially stimulated, and it seemed like they went berserk.
Their bodies that were already muscular started to bulge, almost exploding their black armor. Their hair also stood on end like iron needles.
The totemic images of various clans appeared above the head of these orcs, and their eyes turned red while white steam jetted out of their nostrils, looking like sharp swords.
The presence of the mixed legion also increased by many times.
Streaks of mystical black mist also rose from the legion and blocked the sky and the sun, and the black mist wasn’t inferior to the silver light engulfing the Godly Execution Knight Legion.
The entire mixed cavalry legion was covered in the terrifying black mist, and for a moment, their enemies thought that the soldiers of death just walked out of Hell.
…
“This is… right! The legendary behemoth battle song!” Cassano was shocked. He suddenly realized why Fei was so confident in his mixed legion.
In legends, although the behemoth orcs couldn’t use magic energy, they could unleash mystical power using songs to increase their strength, warrior energy, defense, and will. At the same time, they could reduce their enemies’ strength and resistance. The songs of the behemoth orcs were magical.
In the Mythical Era, these battle songs were referred to as the third type of energy.
Since the Behemoth Orc Tribe had disappeared on the continent for too long, many people had already forgotten about the existence of their unique power and the dominance of orc cavalry legions that were invincible throughout the land.
Today, the overbearing cavalry legion of this forgotten race finally appeared on the continent again. They were going to redeem their former glory.
Even though they were facing the Godly Execution Knight Legion of the Holy Church, the No.1 Cavalry Legion in the world, the mixed cavalry legion of the Northern Region Empire wasn’t afraid.
“Regardless of what the result of this battle is, one thing is for sure. From today on, the cavalry legion of the Holy Church that is unrivaled on flatland combat will no longer dominate!”
Cassano stood straighter to quietly watch the opening of this grand battle.
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two currents, one black and one white, finally smashed into each other.
Blood spilled, and bones broke. Warhorses neighed, and strange beasts roared.
The two terrifying cavalry legions finally started the most primitive and cruel combat.
The silver holy power and the black mist intertwined, devouring and eliminating each other. Light hissing noises sounded as if space shattered, and the holy spiritual battle song and the behemoth battle song continued to resonate in the area while flames burned. Silver armor and black armor flew into the sky, and cavalrymen fell before more rushed up.
This scene looked like two giant mountains smashed into each other.
Sabers and polearms were raised, and metal-colliding noises sounded. While warhorses neighed, blood flew into the air.
The godly knights emitted brilliant silver light. Their silver warhorses were all meticulously chosen, and they were supreme horses with demon beast bloodline. They could become one with the knights.
Also, the armor uniquely designed for the warhorses could perfectly protect their weak locations such as their eyes and knees, and spikes could be seen on them, able to damage the enemies.
Without exaggeration, each warhorse of the Godly Execution Knight Legion had the damage of a Star-Level Warrior.
However, when such a legion faced the mixed legion of the Northern Region Empire, they couldn’t utilize their advantages.
The mounts of the behemoth orcs were beyond humans’ understanding.
The light and agile cavalrymen of the Wolf Clan were riding on unique wolves, and these mounts could leap for 50 meters. Under the empowerment of the power of totems, they were as fast as the wind, and it was impossible to capture them.
The cavalrymen of the Wolf Clan traveled in the small cracks and weaknesses in the formation of the Godly Execution Knight Legion, and their curved sabers that were paper-thin but sharp could go through the thin slits between the components of the armor that the godly knights and their white warhorses were wearing. Although the injuries weren’t lethal, they still caused excruciating pain.
The strong cavalrymen of the Bear Clan rode on their giant earth bears, and they were like many massive indestructible walls. They used their brute force and giant size to create insane momentum. Even those godly knights who charged into them were knocked back while puking blood.
Also, some centaurs were the perfect combination of cavalrymen and mounts. They were fast and had impressive archery skills.
On the side, there were cavalrymen of the Bull Clan who were known for their physical strength, the lightning-like cavalrymen of the Leopard Clan…
The various types of orc cavalrymen made the godly knights extremely uncomfortable.
This was the most frustrating charging battle that the Godly Execution Knight Legion had ever faced since its inception. The godly knights felt like they were suppressed by their enemies from all aspects.
In terms of physical strength, they couldn’t fight with the cavalrymen of the Bull Clan and Bear Clan.
In terms of agility, they could rival the cavalrymen of the Wolf Clan and Leopard Clan.
In terms of archery, the centaurs were better.
In terms of strategies and quick commands, the Roaring Flame Beast Riders of Chambord were strong as well.
Even their pride, the battle rings that their priests could cast on them, couldn’t defeat the battle songs and the power of totems of the Behemoth Orc Tribe.
…
“Invincible!”
Kone, an orc warrior of the Bear Clan, shouted the battle phrase of the mixed legion. He swung his giant double axes that looked like doors, knocking away more than ten silver lances that were piercing toward him like raindrops in a storm. Then, he twisted his wrists, and the two giant axes struck out horizontally like two lightning bolts.
Tink! Tink! Tink!
The giant axes broke the silver lances that were blocking the way, and the momentum carried the axes forward and chopped the terrified godly knight in front of Kone into many pieces alongside his mount.
At the same time, another godly knight saw this opportunity now that Kone was distracted. With a vicious grin, he charged forward, and his silver lance shot forward like a snake. The lance pierced through Kone’s black armor and his shoulder, and blood leaked out through the blood grooves.
“Up!” this godly knight roared with his eyes wide open.
Powerful silver holy flames suddenly burned around this godly knight, and he unleashed his force through his shoulders. The silver lance started to bend as this godly knight wanted to send Kone into the air.
“Haha! Just you?”
Kone laughed hysterically as if the lance didn’t pierce his shoulder. Then, he lightly kicked the earth bear underneath, telling his mount to charge forward. With the silver lance still in his shoulder, Kone instantly got to this godly knight and chopped out with his axes, turning this godly knight who couldn’t react in time into two pieces.
“Haha! Invincible!”
Kone pulled out the silver lance that pierced his shoulder, and he tossed it forward. The silver lance stained by his blood turned into a light beam and instantly pierced two godly knights in front of him who didn’t anticipate this.
This young warrior of the Bear Clan completely showcased the fierce and fearless nature of the behemoth orcs.
Such tragic fights were happening everywhere on the battleground.
The Godly Execution Knight Legion was the no.1 cavalry legion on the continent after all, and its strength couldn’t be ignored. The godly knights’ coordination, the grasp of opportunities, and their belief in victory were deep in their bones. They were still demonstrating these qualities even though they had never faced these enemies and suffered way more casualties than expected in the first wave of attacks.
