75: Chapter 19: Forcefully Shaking the Heavy Cavalry (Part 3) 75: Chapter 19: Forcefully Shaking the Heavy Cavalry (Part 3) The head of the Heavy Cavalry Department was a robust man in his forties who, facing Nina’s mockery, remained silent, with no hint of change on his stern face as he focused intently on the arena.
Fergerson gave a slight smile and said in a low voice to Nina beside him, “Your Divine Music Department making it to the finals has already shocked many, Director Nina, you shouldn’t be too greedy!”
In a duel of the same rank, a warrior could never be the opponent of a mage, because every mage capable of entering the battlefield possesses their own Magical Beast.
As a meat shield, Magical Beasts can pletely withstand warriors of the same rank.
As long as the mage’s Magic Power is truly unleashed, the result for the warrior is doomed to be a dire one.
The only exceptions among warriors are the Heavy Cavalry, since they also have mounts.
If a mount is strong enough to contend with a mage’s Magical Beast, then they have a chance of victory.
Divine Music Mages find it difficult to own powerful Magical Beasts, whereas the five members sent by the Heavy Cavalry Department this time are all structured as Dragon Cavalry.
With the speed of Eric Minlong and the powerful offensive and defensive capabilities of Machino the Iron Dragon, Fergerson had every reason to believe that if the Divine Music Department continued to fight in the previous group battle style, their musical power would be utterly useless against the trample of the Dragon Cavalry.
Moon God’s Protection would likely not withstand the charge of the Dragon Cavalry.
Although Ye Yinzhu had Sound Blade, the Heavy Cavalry also possessed their own Douqi; in every aspect, the Heavy Cavalry had already gained an absolute advantage.
The only thing that could leave Fergerson feeling a bit of suspense was probably Ye Yinzhu himself.
Regardless of the oute, he hoped to see a surprise from Yin Zhu once again.
Both sides in the petition had already faced each other at the center of the field.
The chief of the Heavy Cavalry Department, perched atop Machino the Iron Dragon, was close to five meters in height when including his own stature, towering over the seemingly insignificant Ye Yinzhu.
“Heavy Cavalry Department, mander, Nesta, sophomore.” He took off the lance perched on his winged helmet, touched his helmet lightly with his left hand, and presented a standard knightly salute.
“Ye Yinzhu, chief mander of the Divine Music Department, freshman.” Ye Yinzhu placed his right hand over his chest and returned a standard noble salute to his opponent.
Nesta was the most imposing of the five from the Heavy Cavalry Department, with broad bones and a stern face devoid of expression.
Facing Ye Yinzhu’s “smallness,” he showed not a trace of underestimating the opponent.
“Choose the style of the petition.”
“Wolfpack,” was Ye Yinzhu’s succinct reply.
For the first time, a hint of surprise flashed in Nesta’s eyes.
“Wolfpack?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded.
Wolfpack is one of three petition methods, distinct from one-on-one duels and group battles.
In Wolfpack mode, each side sends out one player to fight; the winner continues battling until they lose, then the next petitor steps in, and so forth.
It’s not about winning three out of five rounds; one side must defeat all the opponents from the other side to achieve final victory in the petition.
Once Ye Yinzhu’s choice was confirmed, the arena erupted into an uproar.
To everyone else, even a group battle was a risky move for the Divine Music Department.
Perhaps there was a slim chance, but choosing the Wolfpack method meant that each fragile Divine Music Master could potentially be exposed to the ferocious charge of the Dragon Cavalry, stripping away the last thread of suspense from the match.
Only Fergerson on the president’s stand revealed a hint of mendation in his smile, slowly nodding, “A good choice.
It avoids the Heavy Cavalry’s most advantageous collective charge and mutual coordination, perhaps, Ye Yinzhu really might bring us a miracle.” What most departments didn’t realize was that the true strength of the Heavy Cavalry Department lay in group battles.
“Senior Haiyang, are we really not going to help Yin Zhu?” Lanxi asked anxiously in a low voice.
Haiyang glanced at her, “Do you think we could be of any help to him if we went up there?”
Looking up at the imposing figure of the Dragon Cavalry, Lanxi’s face turned ashen, and she gently shook her head.
By this time, Peacock, who was previously indignant, had already lowered her head.
Before the petition began, Ye Yinzhu had already confirmed the tactics for the wolf pack, but there was only one person from the Divine Music Department participating in the battle—himself.
In other words, if the opponent defeated him, it would be equivalent to defeating the entire Divine Music Department.
To win, he would have to defeat all five opponents one by one.
As everyone thought, a Divine Music Master facing the charge of Heavy Cavalry could suffer fatal damage even from the simplest contact.
Ye Yinzhu had promised to protect his panions, so after entering the finals, he chose the wolf pack tactic.
This was not only a responsibility to everyone else but also a sign of his strong confidence in himself.
The five petitors from the Heavy Cavalry Department slowly retreated to the side of the field.
Ye Yinzhu did not retreat to his own half of the field to begin playing, as others might have expected.
With a wave of his left hand, the Haiyue Qinhui Zither had already appeared in his arms, cradled in the crook of his left arm.
The petition began, and the first to enter the field from the Heavy Cavalry Department was a student whose mount was Eric Minlong, with faint yellow Douqi shimmering at the tip of the lance.
Amidst the cheers from the students of the Martial Arts Department, he charged towards Ye Yinzhu.
This was the first time Ye Yinzhu faced a Dragon Cavalry.
Although the size of Eric Minlong was not too large, when its long dragon legs began to move, the momentum was like a whirlwind; a few hundred meters of acceleration was pleted in the blink of an eye, bringing a furious gust of wind right up to Ye Yinzhu.
The lance radiated a ghostly cold light, and under the velocity brought by Eric Minlong and the strength of the Intermediate Rank Yellow-rank Douqi, even a thick wall would be pletely pierced.
Ye Yinzhu cradled the Haiyue Qinhui, standing without even making a move to dodge.
As Eric Minlong loomed larger in front of him, his gaze did not waver at all.
Many students from the Martial Arts Department had already started to scoff, wondering if the lead of the Divine Music Department had been scared stiff.
“Hum—” Ye Yinzhu finally moved.
Just as Eric Minlong reached ten meters before him, his right hand swiftly brushed across the zither strings.
The distinctive Explosive Reverberate of Ye Yinzhu sounded instantly.
Explosive Reverberate was more powerful the closer the target was.
Ye Yinzhu chose this moment to release it, aiming to give his opponent a full-on shock.
Heavy Cavalry had much greater physical defensive power than mages, but their mental defenses were weaker than those of any mage.
The sudden explosion of sound could cause even a Yellow-rank Mage to briefly lose their wits, let alone a first-year Heavy Cavalry student.
The opponent’s furious charge instantly became hindered, and his brain plunged into a plete blank.
Ten meters was merely an instant for Eric Minlong who had already built up speed.
As Ye Yinzhu’s right hand brushed over the Haiyue Qinhui, he had already leaped from the ground, burning with yellow light all over his body.
Mid-air, Ye Yinzhu’s posture remained as graceful as ever, like a cloud, enveloping his oning opponent.
