Chapter 842: Ten Thousand Horses Gallop Forward, Cavaliers’ Charge!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Boom!

Rumble!

Soon after the more than one thousand cavaliers began their charge, the Mongolian camp soon took action! The cavalier camp at the right wing was swiftly mobilized, and they rushed out of the camp with a monstrous momentum.

The sound of hooves thundered through the sky.

The momentum brought by that one thousand or so cavaliers was instantly drowned out. They were like moths charging into flames, and they looked so incredibly fragile.

However, fortunately for them, Happy had also circled round the area near the enemy camp with those thousand or so cavaliers. Right when the enemy camp made their move, they immediately turned around, and instead of saying that they were launching a charge, it would be better to say that they were leading their enemies, who had already taken up wars, to take a stroll around the place.

When they did, more than ten thousand cavaliers instantly rushed out of the main camp.

Rumble!

Armored hooves thundered against the ground!

The ground trembled!

When ten thousand horses galloped through the plains, they quickly formed a huge pocket formation behind the thousand or so cavaliers, and the distance between them was gradually closed. They looked like they were about to devour this group of cavaliers whole.

“Damn it, there’re too many of them! Run!”

While Happy gave his orders, he fell back, and grabbed the Folding Bow he bought at Beijing’s market. Its body was sturdy, and when it was unfolded, it was a strong bow.

He also grabbed a Recondite Steel Arrow.

Whoosh!

Once he aimed at the back, he fired. A black line shot to the army behind him, and the result was that this arrow that was worth ten thousand landed in the army behind him, he was unable to cause even a splash. The army’s charge was still as loud as thunder.

‘Well, that’s embarrassing.’

Happy felt awkward, and he hoped that no one saw him. At the same time, he also became alerted to the fact that he will need to take some time to practice his bow technique, or else, he will never be able to do much by just relying on the low-grade Lancet Knife Throwing Skill.

At that moment, Eleventh Crane fell back from the army in front to arrive next to Happy. He turned his body around, and he drew his bow fully. Three arrows with a powerful sonic boom instantly crept into the enemy army behind him. Three Mongolian cavaliers fell to the ground as the sonic booms rose. Under the powerful inertia, even their horses fell to the ground, and Happy felt absolutely resigned.

The deaths of the Mongolian cavaliers caused an insignificant splash in the tidal wave formed by the ten thousand cavaliers. They did not affect the cavalier battalion’s charge at all.

The distance between them slowly shortened.

Eleventh Crane did not remain idle. This was a good chance to obtain war achievements. Naturally, he will try his best to get those points. His expression was stern. His bow string released a twang, and without even looking at the quiver on his back, he grabbed three arrows, nocked them on the bowstring, drew the bow, and fired. His actions were done in one breath.

Eleventh Crane shot arrows while on horseback nonstop. When he killed at least seventeen Mongolian cavaliers, Eleventh Crane’s continuous provocation finally angered the soldiers behind him.

Some of the Mongolian cavaliers started drawing their bows to counterattack.

But even though only some of them attacked, when that few number of Mongolian cavaliers came from an army of ten thousand, that meant around one hundred people decided to attack.

When he saw the arrow shower that came at him from the back, Happy, who had been frustrated for a while as he watched Eleventh Crane’s performance, instantly had his spirits lifted. With one Shifting Stars, more than one hundred arrows instantly turned around in the air back to the army.

Those leading the charge had the arrow shower hit their faces.

Neighs could be heard nonstop. Dozens of Mongolian cavaliers crashed to the ground with their horses. Pained screams could be heard nonstop. Finally, the Chinese army was able to cause quite a bit of trouble and chaos to the army behind them.

Eleventh Crane immediately felt a little speechless.

After working so hard for so long, he only managed to shoot down around twenty people, but Happy had easily killed more than ten of them in one instant.

He cast Happy a strange glance. Eleventh Crane thought in his heart. ‘No wonder he has so many points! He’s clearly stealing their arrows and shooting them with it!’

The system notifications telling him of the points he obtained rose continuously in Happy’s mind.

But Happy did not relax because of it.

More than ten thousand cavaliers was not something that an army formed by twenty thousand cavaliers and players can handle.

He immediately continued luring the Mongolian cavaliers to shoot at them, and he used the Mongolian cavaliers’ arrows to whittle down the strength of the Mongolian cavalier battalion.

But even after he used Shifting Stars a few times, he did not manage to kill a lot of people. He only managed to kill around two hundred of them, and to the battalion of more than ten thousand cavaliers, it was like taking a cup of water out of an ocean.

In a normal charge, a Mongolian cavalier battalion of five thousand was already enough to crush the reinforcements they left behind to pieces! Happy knew very well that if he cannot split up this battalion or completely destroy the momentum of their charge, when the twenty thousand people behind him was engaged in a battle with them, the chances of them losing will be higher than them winning.

“What the heck, they sent way too many cavaliers... I reckon that this is the workload for two large cavalier units. Happy, what should we do?” Silver Wolf rode next to Happy, and his expression was slightly tense.

Right now, they were less than sixth-tenths of a mile from the spot where their reinforcements were stationed. To cavaliers, they will be able to close this distance within the blink of an eye.

At that time, their army of two thousand will have to face the oppression from more than ten thousand cavaliers, and they will definitely die. Besides, they were in the depths of the vast plains. It was impossible for them to even think about fleeing!

“We’ll have to fight with everything we have!” Happy cast a glance at the thousand or so cavaliers who were charging in front of him. His irises were slightly bloodshot. “Even if we end up losing all one thousand and two hundred cavaliers today, we must get rid of the Mongolian cavaliers’ momentum in their charge!”

As he spoke, he cast a glance at the enemy cavaliers behind him. They were like a black dragon in the distance, chasing after him, and this sight made his pupils shrink a little.

Right now, the only good news was that due to the distance they took in their charge, these ten thousand or so cavaliers had completely left the main camp, but they were not spread out enough. They were like an arrow in the shape of a pocket, and the contact area was not very large either.

“Silver Wolf, I’ll leave commanding the cavaliers to you! When there’s a need for it, have the cavaliers all charge forward! You must absolutely block them!”

“Understood!” No matter what, Silver Wolf came from the army, and he had some understanding to military strategies, and he could catch up to Happy’s rhythm. Once he took over command, he did not stop but went straight to the slope from before.

At the same time, Silver Wolf fired a signal flare.

In the distance, the twenty thousand or so elites from Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance responded to the call. They summoned their steeds and jumped on them.

“When we attack a group, we attack the leader! Kill them!”

When Thunderous Battle gave his order, more than twenty thousand elites released thunderous shouts that shook the skies.

“Charge!”

“Kill them!”

“My brothers and sisters from the alliance, don’t embarrass me now!”

“My friends from Chivalry Sect, the time has come for us to fight in the battlefield. Those who are brave, follow me!”

When Night Rain Follows Wind and Lin Xiao shouted at the top of their lungs, they had multitudes of people respond to them, and their voices shook the clouds and the sky.

Wu Kuo cast a glance at Phantasmal Shadow, and he did not back down. “My friends from Wind Assault Tower, we won’t lose to them! Go! Charge forward!”

Boom!

More than twenty thousand people had their horses stomp against the ground.

Even though the teamwork between the players was not good enough, and they did not move in an orderly manner, the power they released when they were united was still not something a bunch of misfits could hope to compare to.

They surged down the hill like a tidal wave, and they charged down in a dense wave.

At the same time, Silver Wolf had already resolutely ordered the cavaliers to set up their formation in the slope ahead of them! He looked down while he received the Mongolian cavaliers.

Once Happy handed over command, he turned around resolutely and rushed into the black wave of Mongolian cavaliers thundering toward him.

He had his qi surge into his Hoof Shadow, and his horse’s speed instantly increased explosively. He fused together with his horse, and together with his horse, they charged forward like an arrow fired from a bow. Like the wind, they charged into the area where the Mongolian cavaliers could shoot them!

A dense wave of arrow showers were flung behind them, and the arrows that could threaten them were all turned back to them right when they were about to touch Happy. Since they were at a close distance to each other, Happy managed to kill the group of cavaliers right in front. Then, he put away his steed before he dashed into the enemy forces like lightning during the chaos.
