Sword Among Us

What entered Happy’s sight were lancers who were spread through the land. The forest of spears was like an ocean, and they advanced neatly with a majestic momentum! There were two battalions, and both were protected by around two thousand cavaliers flanking their sides.

Behind the army were Chinese players who were dressed in all sorts of attire.

After the first day, most of the people became much more obedient. They no longer rode on horses, and they held in their hands shields while maintaining a set distance away from the army. They looked as if they will only take action after both sides were engaged in each other in battle.

Happy’s arrival did not attract other people’s attention.

As the Mongolian cavaliers charged closer, the army became ready for battle, and everyone’s attention was attracted by the advancing armies. No one will have time to care about the solo players who kept on joining their ranks.

*****

There was no need for any words to be exchanged when the two armies fought against each other!

A Mongolian 1,000-man commander who exposed his sturdy chest led the charge. He drew his scimitar resolutely.

“Kill them!”

Rumble!

Five thousand Mongolian armored cavaliers swiftly charged forward, and the ground trembled!

Killing intent surged forward. Hysterical and crazed shouts rose, intersecting with each other in the air above the plains.

Whoosh whoosh!

The Chinese reacted appropriately. Their archers moved forward, and when the Mongolian armored cavaliers entered their attack range, they fired at the same time.

Dense waves of arrows flew forward like black hail, and they crashed viciously into the enemy’s army!

But the effect was small.

Almost every Mongolian armored cavalier had their rider and horse covered in scale armor. The arrows were immediately bounced off at the moment they landed on them. Only around dozens of unlucky people had the arrows pierce into the parts that were not covered by the metal armor, and they fell off their horses while they screamed in pain.

But this sort of situation was very rare. They were like small splashes quickly fading away in an ocean, and they did not affect the Mongolian armored cavaliers’ overall charge at all!

The continuous rounds of arrows did not do much damage to the Mongolian cavaliers!

The Mongolian cavaliers withstood the arrow showers, and they came charging to the Chinese army like great waves crashing against the shore!

When a general among the Chinese army saw that the Mongolian cavaliers had reached them, he lifted his sword high while he stood in the middle of the army.

“Change formation!”

Boom! BOOM!

Uniform footsteps rose swiftly among the Chinese army! The archers widened the distance between them in an orderly manner, and lancers decked in armor came up from behind the army!

They planted their shields sturdily in the ground, and they faced the armored cavaliers who charged toward them with a suffocating presence. Dense waves of black longspears were lifted diagonally to thrust forward, and they created a terrifying steel forest of spears in front of the Chinese army.

Forget about human flesh, even war horses will definitely be pierced full of holes by these spears when they charged forward so quickly.

The Mongolian cavaliers seemed to have predicted that the Chinese army will do this a long time ago.

Right before the lancers finished setting up their formation, the cavaliers at the very front of the charge drew hatchets from their waists and threw them violently at the Chinese army ahead of them!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Nearly one thousand people attacked at the same time.

The dense axes might not travel forward as neatly as the archers, but when they rushed forward quickly, more than one thousand axes cut into the crowd ahead of them with a shrill whistle caused by the hatchets tearing through the air. The impact and shock they brought was far more intimidating than the archers’!

Right when a lancer from the Chinese army was ready for battle, a black hatchet that came flying at him was swiftly enlarged before his eyes, and it was very clear.

He instinctively dodged it.

The hatchet viciously ripped a terrifying wound on his face, and while the blade still had fresh blood and flesh on it, it struck the head of the lancer behind him.

Before the lancer behind the first lancer could even understand what happened, he opened his eyes in pain and shock. A hole had already been torn open in his helmet, and the hatchet was firmly embedded on it. Blood poured out from that hole and made his vision unclear.

The injured lancer sucked in a sharp breath, but he did hear sturdy crashes rising endlessly around him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He turned his head around.

Hatchets were thrown at him from across him.

His comrades beside him either had their arms cut off or had a sharp hatchet embedded into their shoulders, causing them to be unable to hold their longspears and shields.

The front row of lancers further away were sent flying away one after another. Only a few of the smart ones used their shields to avoid this disaster, but they were still knocked back by a huge force, and their formation was thrown into chaos.

“AH!”

“Urk…”

“My hand!”

In the battlefield where blood was spilled everywhere, the first batch of casualties will always appear incredibly quickly and in a very astonishing fashion. During the pained screams that rose and fell, the wall formed by the lancers crumbled.

The general’s orders could not prevent the Mongolian cavaliers from speeding up their charge. The ground trembled, and thousands of cavaliers swung different weapons to charge into the Chinese infantry unit in the fiercest manner possible.

The remaining defense lines which had not crumbled entirely was instantly torn apart.

Before the lancers at the very front of the formation could regroup for battle, they had already been sent flying away by the war horses’ iron hooves.

The Mongolian cavaliers advanced without facing any resistance, and when they brought their arms up high, it will always be followed by them swinging their weapons down!

When they faced their comrades’ corpses flying at them, the people behind them were continuously made to retreat. In fact, they did not even have the chance to attack before they were crushed under the hooves of the war horses or had their bodies disemboweled.

Human heads, fresh blood, and pained screams realistically painted the most brutal side of war.

When Happy activated bird’s-eye view, he heard the sounds of people sucking in breaths around him.

Thousands of Mongolian cavaliers cut into the Chinese army lines like three huge awls.

And the dense wave of Chinese soldiers were like a huge biscuit that was instantly devoured. The Mongolian cavaliers had not ended their charge just yet. They continued rushing forward, and with a force that could mow down all resistances, they continued expanding their military exploits in an attempt to pierce through the Chinese soldiers in one go.

Even though there were occasionally Mongolian cavaliers who will be brought down their horses by the longspears on the battlefield, it was a very rare sight. Besides, these lucky lancers will soon be killed by Mongolian cavaliers who became united to deal with them, their common enemy.

The thunderous gallops swiftly approached the Chinese army.

The Chinese soldiers absolutely could not stop the Mongolian cavaliers’ charge. Thousands of cavaliers gathered together their power to charge forward viciously. Their speed did not decrease, and they just galloped forward madly.

When they saw this, tens of thousands of players behind the army tightened their grips over their weapons!

Only Happy noticed that while he observed the army from a bird’s-eye view, the two two thousand men cavalier unit at the flanks of the Chinese army finally moved. They went to surround the back of the defense line belonging to the Mongolian armored cavaliers. They moved like two pairs of huge scissors and stabbed into the back of the Mongolian cavaliers’ battalion!

Even though the infantry could not fight head on against the fierce and valiant Mongolian cavaliers who were great at war, the Chinese army was not completely without the power to fight back. When the four thousand Chinese cavaliers intercepted the Mongolian army, those five thousand Mongolian cavaliers were finally cut into half, and they descended into two different battlefields.

When he noticed the trend of the battle, Happy narrowed his eyes slightly.

His chance was here!

There were also many people who noticed this.

Most of them decided on fighting in groups. Batches of people rushed forward from behind Happy and surrounded the Chinese infantry in an attempt to charge into the battlefield ahead of other people and seize points.

But there were also a few people who were bold because they were skilled. They stepped on the infantries’ heads and the lancers’ spear tips to rush into the frontlines, where the fiercest battle against the cavaliers was.

And Happy was one of them!
