THUD THUD THUD.
Dust billowed up as the ground rumbled and shook.
In the distance, a troop of cavalry appeared on the horizon, charging forward like a rolling tide!
And beneath them, the mounts they rode were none other than scale-covered, four-legged Earth Dragons with gaping, bloody maws!
"Earth Dragon Cavalry!"
Muer’s eyes narrowed, and he cried out in a daze.
Every one of them was an initiated Warrior, supplented by trained, First-Tier Earth Dragons.
They were an elite unit from Tewa Kan City.
To put it bluntly, a small troop like this was enough to rout hundreds, even thousands, of ordinary soldiers enhanced by Divine Techniques!
"It’s them..." A look of terror appeared on Muer’s face.
The Aino army he had previously served in had been utterly routed in a major battle when two thousand Earth Dragon Cavalry had charged their flank, causing their tens of thousands of troops to completely collapse!
ROAR!
The Earth Dragons galloped like the wind.
Soon, they were within a few hundred ters.
WHOOSH.
A light breeze washed over them.
It carried the stench of blood!
Muer’s heart skipped a beat, a chill running down his spine.
At this distance, with his enhanced vision as an initiated Warrior, he could see clearly.
Hanging from the saddle of every Earth Dragon cavalryman were several, or even a dozen, severed heads, their faces frozen in terror and dripping with blood!
It was obvious this troop of Earth Dragon Cavalry from Tewa Kan City was roaming the plains.
They were indiscriminately hunting down anyone attempting to travel to Aino City!
The Earth Dragon Cavalry surrounded the dragon-drawn carriage, cutting off all escape. They drew their obsidian longspears or longswords.
Then, amidst the roars of the dragons, a Warrior with a high-bridged nose, cold eyes, and two grayish-white feathers in his hair rode out from the ranks on an Earth Dragon a full size larger than the others.
"A Second-Tier Warrior!"
Seeing the two feathers, Muer shuddered. They represented the ’second tier’!
"An Earth Dragon-drawn carriage?"
"Looks like I, Vesar, have caught a big fish."
"I wonder which blooded noble would care to show themself?"
"Announce your family na."
The cavalry leader, Vesar, spoke, cracking his neck and revealing a cruel smile.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
The cavalry let out a bloodthirsty roar in response, their Evil Qi soaring to the heavens!
Muer unconsciously tightened his grip on the reins, his heart clenching. A sliver of doubt crossed his mind.
’Earth Dragon Cavalry led by a Second-Tier Warrior... Can Mr. Su... really handle this?’
Vesar stared at the dragon-drawn carriage, his gaze ice-cold.
’Not coming out to et ?’
’Or are they... scared stiff?’
"Forget it."
He didn’t dwell on it, simply waving his hand. "Kill them!"
The Earth Dragon Cavalry began their charge.
As they charged, they fluidly split into two groups, maintaining a proper distance from each other!
This series of tactical maneuvers was executed with fluid precision during the charge, demonstrating the exceptional training of these Earth Dragon cavalryn!
RUMBLE RUMBLE.
The earth trembled as the forward riders accelerated toward the dragon-drawn carriage with Vesar!
Though they were only a few dozen strong, they created the imposing montum of an army thousands strong!
...
"These Far South Continent natives aren’t half-bad."
Su Ye sat calmly inside the carriage, taking an unhurried sip of hot cocoa as he comnted.
The Spiritual Power of these Earth Dragon cavalryn was linked, their auras connected. The dozens of riders acted as one, their power unified and channeled to their leader.
If there were thousands, or even tens of thousands, of such cavalry, with a Third-Tier Warrior as their core, they would likely pose a significant threat even to a Crystallization Realm cultivator.
WHOOSH!
The charge accelerated.
A black-red spiritual glow ignited around the cavalry leader Vesar, coalescing on the edge of his blade!
"Die!"
A savage grin spread across Vesar’s face.
He could already picture the scene: this dragon-drawn carriage, torn to shreds by his blade!
However.
In that instant.
His expression contorted, shifting through a rapid succession of emotions.
Savagery, triumph, bewildernt, and then sheer horror!
He felt an intense sense of crisis.
Almost by instinct, Vesar dropped low, throwing himself out of the saddle to hang off the side of his Earth Dragon!
Then, he pushed off, launching himself away from the dragon’s back!
It was a wise choice.
One could say... it saved Vesar’s life!
Because.
SHIING.
In the air.
A water thread, as fine as a strand of hair and nearly transparent, had appeared out of nowhere!
However, besides Vesar.
The other Earth Dragon cavalryn had not sensed it at all. They maintained their acceleration, charging at high speed!
Or rather, with their reaction speed, it was already too late, even if they had noticed Vesar’s move.
SHLICK.
The water thread made contact with the cavalry.
In an instant.
Their expressions froze.
A perfectly clean shear line appeared across their waists, bisecting them!
FSSSHHH!
Blood gushed from the wounds of their severed bodies, spraying high into the air.
THUMP.
Like tomatoes rolling off a truck.
The upper halves of the cavalryn’s bodies tumbled from their Earth Dragons like broken sacks, slamming onto the ground!
Then, they were trampled under the Earth Dragons’ feet and burst apart!
And then.
After dealing with the cavalryn, the water thread split in midair, turning from a single line into a cross.
Then it transford again, into an asterisk-shaped net.
The Earth Dragons, still charging madly and unaware that their riders were dead, slamd right into this net of water threads.
Skin, scales, bones, organs, muscles.
Against these threads that seed as fine as hair, they had not a shred of defense.
Dozens of Earth Dragons abruptly disintegrated in mid-charge!
A torrent of blood surged forth, as if threatening to dye the entire ground red!
Muer’s eyes were vacant.
"Ulp..."
When he ca to his senses, he felt his stomach churn.
This thod of slaughter was a bit too much, even for a battle-hardened veteran like him.
"Mr. Su... a noble and great existence!"
Muer was filled with even greater awe.
...
THUD.
Vesar’s figure tumbled gracelessly onto the ground, rolling several tis before he managed to steady himself.
He was covered in mud and dust.
Even the grayish-white feathers symbolizing a Warrior’s honor were askew and stained with dirt.
Uh... that wasn’t a big deal, though. A Warrior’s feathers were replaceable!
Vesar had a drawer full of spare grayish-white feathers at ho, as well as black and blue ones taken from other spiritual birds, giving him a choice of colors.
Except, he probably... wouldn’t get the chance to change his feathers ever again!
"You’re not dead? Quick reflexes."
Su Ye stepped out of the carriage at his leisure, sweeping his gaze over the scene.
Those eyes, as dark and profound as a starry sky, sent a chill through Vesar’s heart!
"Who are you?"
"There is no bloodline like this in the Northern Territory!" Vesar said in shock.
"Are those your last words?"
"How boring."
A faint trace of disappointnt flickered in Su Ye’s eyes.
He had thought this native Warrior, with his sharp spiritual senses and swift reactions, might have had sothing interesting to say...
"Wait!"
Sensing a bone-chilling killing intent, Vesar was terrified and hurriedly spoke.
"Great One, we can talk about this... If you kill , the Prince will not let you..."
"Begging and threatening... even more boring."
Thoroughly disappointed, Su Ye snapped his fingers.
SHLICK.
A water thread sliced across Vesar’s neck.
Blood sprayed as his head shot into the air.
Su Ye was just about to grab the head and forcibly read its mories.
But just then, his spiritual sense detected a strange fluctuation.
It was as if sothing was locking onto him.
"Hm?"
