Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 477: Beginning Of Prosperity (1)

The distant sound of horns sounded in the blue field. Several Fragrant Antler Deer who were eating grass raised their heads vigilantly. In the clear deer's pupils, cavalry riding war horses continuously appeared on the high slope not far away. They lined up, their armor refracting dazzling light in the sunlight, and their flags were blown by the wind to the point that they sounded like hunters. The knight's expression was solemn, and his killing intent was like a tidal wave, blowing with the wind.

Lu'er was shocked and jumped up, bringing along a few dancing blue cores of grass as she fled like the wind.

This grassland had already become a battlefield!

The unicorns' cavalry were lined up on the high slope. Each row of a hundred people formed a square formation of six rows. The six hundred cavalry emitted dense killing intent, waiting for their enemies to enter the arena to fight. The position Tucker had chosen was precisely the best environment for the cavalry to display their superiority. The high slope was condescending, and when the cavalry charged, it was even more powerful. After the cavalry, the 400 Blade Axe Soldiers were ready, and when the first cavalry broke through the enemy's front, these Blade Axe Soldiers would be able to expand their advantage.

Tucker strode forward and the cavalry split apart like a tide. After he passed by, he suddenly retracted. The opening and closing of the cavalry were naturally incomparable, demonstrating the cavalry's outstanding military accomplishments. Tucker didn't ride a horse. Whether it was his armor, giant shield, or warhammer, they weren't light. This set of equipment was enough to overwhelm any warhorse. Every time he took a step forward, he would leave a clear footprint on the grass. Thus, when he stood in front of the formation, a line of footprints would be left on the ground, but they would soon be concealed by the cavalry.

On the eve of the battle, the atmosphere was oppressive. However, the horses chosen by the unicorn cavalry were all of high quality. Apart from a few occasional horse hisses, the high slope was unexpectedly quiet. Only the sound of war flags fluttering in the wind could be heard.

Below the slope, on the other side of the grassland, one could see a stretch of forest. It was the Brightness Forest that belonged to the territory of Dawn Castle. Everyone's line of sight, including Tucker, landed on the edge of the forest. From here, a crowd of people surged towards the Blue Wilderness from the direction of the forest. They formed a regular formation and advanced at a constant speed. The neat formation naturally formed an imposing aura that looked like a black cloud pressing down on them.

Tucker frowned. His opponent's formation was orderly, and there was almost no chaos in the march. He could tell that he was also a well-trained elite soldier. However, according to the information Tucker received, the young baron only had a miscellaneous army in his hands. How good could an army composed of soldiers and slaves be? Perhaps they possessed decent combat strength, but they would never be able to walk out of such a regular formation. Without long-term and rigorous training, it would not be possible to reach this level.

Seeing the enemy pressing down like a black cloud, the unicorn soldier's expression became somewhat unnatural. When the opponent drew closer, he could see a few tall and strong warriors walking in front of him. They only wore light armor and were uniformly equipped with square-shaped hand shields and warhammers. They did not look like ordinary infantry. The muscles of these warriors were tangled, and everyone's skin was shiny as they took large strides to create an aura of their own. The steel-like aura was like coarse steel, making the unicorn soldier feel suffocated.

The cavalry felt their mounts begin to become uneasy, and their horses became irritated by the enemy's aura. The horse continued to kick, kicking the Blue Core Grass beneath its feet into the air and floating down the slope. The knight could only pacify the mount, but the pressure sweeping down the slope made it impossible for the mount to maintain its calm.

Behind those iron-clad soldiers were a few other rows of warriors wearing strange armor. The armor on their bodies was dark-colored and had beautiful patterns on its surface. It did not look like an ordinary decoration. Moreover, the armor was made of a very special material. It was a matte color in the sunlight, unlike ordinary steel armor that could refract bright light.

What was even stranger was that these warriors didn't have any swords in their hands, they only had a rough-looking firearm in their hands. It was very different from the standard firearms commonly used in the empire. Although he had never seen such a firearm before, it was not difficult to imagine its power from its rough lines.

At the end were the most ordinary infantry soldiers. Their armor, stomachs, swords, and swords all met the standards of the empire's elite soldiers. The only thing that comforted Tucker was that they were finally familiar with the deputy commander. Even their equipment and qualities met the standards of elites.

Perhaps, this battle was not as easy as he had imagined? This thought flashed through Tucker's mind. At this moment, the enemy suddenly stopped, and their footsteps were as neat as a miracle. Although they stopped, their momentum did not drop. The pressure was like a huge wave, causing the horses of the unicorns to become uneasy. As more and more horses howled and kicked, the unicorns' formation could no longer maintain its previous order, making it seem a little chaotic.

Tucker sighed, but his eyes suddenly brightened. He released an imposing aura, and the pressure surged like a whirlwind, resisting the incomparably strong aura of the enemy, causing the soldiers on the other side to feel relieved. Unexpectedly, just as he released his aura, an expert from the enemy formation responded. First, there was a rough, steel-like aura, then a brilliant aura, and then a distant aura that was like a river of stars.

Strands of momentum soared into the sky, and Tucker's expression was as ugly as a wheat field after a storm. He counted carefully, and there were actually three or four experts in the enemy formation who responded. At the end of his shock, another fierce aura that was as fiery as flames rose up from his face. Being swept by that aura, the world in Tucker's eyes seemed to be filled with sparks. However, even though the spark was small, it continued to spread out, eventually turning into a spark that engulfed the entire sensory world in a defenseless manner!

Tucker couldn't help but take a step back, sweating profusely. This last imposing aura was condensed and powerful, and its meaning spread along with the momentum. It was not a battlefield of a hundred battles, and it could not be condensed. What was even more shocking was that the imposing aura wasn't necessarily that powerful, but it was like a prairie fire. His momentum grew from slight to unstoppable, making it impossible for Tucker to withstand the pressure. He couldn't retreat in the past, only then would he be able to relieve the pressure from the slightest bit of his momentum.

The commander was unable to withstand the pressure from the other party and retreated. It was undoubtedly a huge blow to the army. Although the soldiers did not say anything on the surface, it was not difficult to see from their eyes that they no longer had the absolute confidence they had at the beginning.

"Who is your commander?" At this moment, a clear voice sounded. From the battle formation below the slope, he stepped forward alone. The knight on the horse held a black saber in his hand, and his silver hair shone brightly in the sunlight, making him very eye-catching.

Tucker took a deep breath and stepped forward, "It's me. This place has been sealed off by our Unicorn Legion. The arrival of the Legion represents Lord Daniel's will. You can't disobey Lord Daniel's will. If you retreat now, I can let it go."

To Tucker, this was already a sign of weakness. If he hadn't been convinced by his opponent's aura and his usual tough style, he wouldn't have said so much nonsense if he had beaten him up long ago.

Alan narrowed his eyes and saw Tucker's image. He had a faint smile on his face and said, "Who are you?"

"Deputy Guild Leader, Tucker!"

"Alright, Guild Leader Tucker. If you make way now, I can pretend that nothing happened." Alan said casually, but returned Tucker's words untouched.

Tucker's face was as dark as dark clouds, and he lowered his voice, "You know that's impossible!"

"What a pity. In that case, Lord Daniel's main force will probably be lost here today." Alan didn't know how to act, but his aura condensed into a bunch and rushed towards Tucker.

Tucker was speechless from his momentum. "Attack!" Allen pointed at him with his black saber.

Tucker had never dreamed that one day the enemy would be able to suppress him with pure momentum, causing him to be unable to speak, allowing others to seize the first opportunity. He was both ashamed and annoyed. After taking a deep breath, he shouted, "Cavalry, listen to my orders. All troops, ambush! Attack! Attack!"

Immediately, rows of cavalry pa. S.sed through Tucker's body like a flash flood and charged along the slope. However, even though Allen shouted "attack" as he descended from the enemy formation, the battle formation did not show any signs of moving. This was like a battle between experts. Alan swayed his hand, causing Tucker to attack before he knew it. Although he seemed to have the first chance, in reality, he would lose because he couldn't see through his opponent's changes.

However, it was already impossible to gather the cavalry at this time. If they could barely stop the cavalry charge, their morale would only plummet to the bottom. Tucker could only clench his teeth and make a mistake. He hoped to borrow the advantages of the cavalry and the environment to destroy the enemy formation in one fell swoop. In that case, they might not lose.

"Inch Fire, step forward and set up a ladder array. Sequence activated, 500 meters away from the attack!"

Alan Qianjun pointed forward, and all the Inch Fire Warriors that were located at the Queen of Mountains immediately stepped forward. In Tucker's eyes, this action made him even more puzzled. Judging from the weapons that the warriors had concocted, there was no doubt that they were playing a role similar to that of gunmen. As far as long-range firepower suppression was concerned, this type of service was usually located in the middle and rear of the battle formation, protected by vanguard infantry soldiers or cavalry.

Driving ranged troops forward like Allen was akin to committing suicide in front of cavalry charging with all their might.

However, the Inch Fire warriors did not question Alan's orders. They faithfully followed the commander's orders. The first row of Inch Fire Warriors fell to the ground, their Fire Fighting Rifles on the grass. The second row of soldiers took a half-squatting stance, while the last row stood upright. Three rows of warriors, more than a hundred rifles, formed a well-organized firing position. Everyone's Origin Energy surged, activating the sequence in the rifle. As a result, the markings on the rifles were lit up one by one.

At this moment, the first row of cavalry had already rushed down the slope and instantly entered Allen's designated attack area. Behind them were more cavalry. Alan raised Qian Jun and waved. In an instant, all of the menacing rifles fired at the same time. Hundreds of fireballs were unloaded, and they flew through the air like cannonballs into the cavalry. Immediately, an earth-shattering explosion erupted!
