Chapter 127: Hand-to-Hand Combat

  Due to the obstruction of numerous large golems on both sides, the number of Farnod infantry who rushed over at the first moment was not particularly large. Therefore, when their long swords chopped onto the iron shields of the first row of beastmen warriors, many Farnod infantry behind them had not yet arrived in time to follow up.

  "Push!" Faced with the fleeting war machine, several officers in the front row of the beast tribe's phalanx gave new orders at the same time. As soon as he heard his superior officer's order, Liu Yu, who was already close to Buganing, used all his strength to push him back. The Fanord infantrymen behind him, without timely support from their comrades, were naturally no match for these beast warriors whose strength far surpassed theirs.

  Many of the Fandor infantrymen hadn't even had time to retrieve their long swords before they were brutally rammed by the wall of beastmen warriors pushing forward, either losing balance or retreating in succession. Then the front row of beastmen warriors raised their iron shields and stabbed out with their long swords from under the shields like a poisonous snake spitting venom, many of the Fandor infantrymen who failed to retreat were pierced through on the spot.

  Unfortunately, the beast tribe warriors in the front row did not have the opportunity to expand their gains. In this brief moment of collision and stabbing, the numerous infantrymen of Fanoth still managed to charge up in time, filling in the gap behind their frontline warriors.

  With a crisp, loud crash, in the center of the beast tribe's infantry phalanx, a golden figure forced a cyan-blue figure to retreat several steps. When they stopped, both figures were within the Fanord infantry formation.

  "The kingdom will surely win!" The figure clad in a suit of golden armor stood firm, his long sword pointing towards the sky as he let out a loud cry. At the same time, on his originally bare head, a flash of gold light appeared and a golden helmet materialized.

  The golden armor emblematic of the high-ranking officers of the Bimon tribe, only one Bimon in this beast tribe can have it, Second Lieutenant Kayn Soreb.

  "The kingdom will surely win!" Liu Yu and many other beast warriors in the back row naturally recognized that it was Cain, and they immediately followed suit, shouting loudly. At this critical moment, morale was really too important.

  After Cain charged into the enemy formation, the beastmen warriors around him immediately formed small squares of four or five and followed him in. At the same time, other soldiers on both sides of these beastmen warriors actively moved closer to the center to ensure their safety on both wings and rear.

  In just a moment, the beast tribe infantry phalanx had dozens of rows of soldiers at the very front, with Cain as the forefront of several small infantry phalanxes and other warriors on both sides, forming a triangular attacking formation.

  The beastmen warriors in the slightly later rows took this triangular formation as the guide, constantly penetrating into the infantry array of Farnod and engaging in a fierce battle with the enemy.

  The attacking Farnod infantry relied on their numerical superiority to surround the beastman warrior, constantly attacking the gaps between the small formations and the sides and rear, trying to separate and annihilate the beastman warriors.

  On the battlefield where various auras flashed frequently, screams and shouts continued. A long sword with golden aura waves clashed strongly with a long sword with cyan and blue aura waves. The two did not gain the upper hand before immediately retreating, as attacks from other enemies on their sides had arrived, forcing them to defend first.

  Liu Yu's Golden Marrow Sword, which had just clashed with the enemy, shifted slightly to its side and blocked a blue long sword that was attempting a sneak attack from his right. At the same time, another long sword with a brown aura took advantage of the opportunity and swiftly struck the wrist holding the blue long sword with precision.

  Before this wrist withdrawal, the brown long sword had successfully stabbed into the iron armor on the wrist and pierced a crack in the armor. The sword energy at the tip of the sword followed suit and entered.

  A loud cry later, the brown long sword almost pierced through his wrist. Before the wounded Farnese soldier dropped his long sword, Liu Yu's golden hilt sword had just parried his attack and shook upwards, while his foot moved to take a half-step forward to the side, making a straight thrust, the golden aura on the golden hilt sword had already pierced his throat before he could dodge.

  Just as he had just defeated an enemy, Liu Yu felt a slight ripple in the air to his left, and before he could react, another sound of clashing iron swords rang out beside him.

  Liu Yu turned his head to look at the upper part of his left shoulder, where a golden long sword was pressed against a fiery red long sword. The first strike did not hit, and there was no intention of continuing the fight, so the fiery red long sword quickly retreated. Liu Yu, who was about to counterattack, also had to give up.

  He took a deep breath and looked gratefully at the golden-haired warrior in black leather armor standing to his left rear.

  Just then, the golden warrior also looked at him, and although it was in the middle of the night, with the help of the red glow emitted by the fire screen and the white light from who-knows-where, one could see that his slightly youthful face was filled with excitement and murderous intent stimulated by intense battle.

  Gafur Luk, a young man from the Luk family whom Liu Yu had helped once before, now helped him again. With no time to speak, Liu Yu's attention quickly shifted to his right and he struck out with another sword, starting the fight anew.

  On the chaotic battlefield, Liu Yu and Ivan, Digen, Bugaining, Gafur five, back to back surrounded by a circle formed a small combat phalanx, they were on the left wing of the beast tribe's offensive triangle, undertaking the responsibility of guarding the rear and protecting the side wings of the triangular attack formation.

  Among the five Bi Mong warriors, except for Gajool, who was a mid-term 5th rank Dou Jiang, Liu Yu, Di Qing, Ivan and Buganing all had the cultivation of a 6th rank Dou Shuai. In addition, there were four others who cultivated the Golden Bi Mong's "Broken Hu Dou Qi". All in all, the combat strength of these five small square arrays was quite strong.

  What's more, all five of them were veterans who had served for over a year and had been through many battles. When they worked together, each one would naturally do their job to the best of their ability, forming a small but tightly-knit killing machine.

  It was just like that, and Liu Yu's palms and forehead still broke out in sweat several times. The reason is also very simple, the enemy they faced was equally powerful. Several times when Liu Yu fought, he was forced into a desperate situation, just like when he had just killed an enemy with Di Qing, he almost suffered a disaster.

  They are now facing the unified Fanoed infantry, who wear blue uniforms and cyan shoulder armor, with at least three-stage fighters, and a considerable number of four-stage, five-stage, and six-stage fighters.

  And these infantrymen with mediocre to low-tier warrior strength, the martial arts they cultivated were not ordinary. Several times during their battles, Liu Yu encountered warriors who cultivated the Gale Thunder mixed with Galloping Dragon martial art, and it goes without saying that this was again a member of the imperial family of the Farnold Empire, a member of the Peiping clan.

  Some other infantrymen, although they couldn't match Liu Yu's toughness in a head-on confrontation, were not inferior to him in terms of speed and had strong aura attacks that almost injured Liu Yu several times.

  In the opposing army, from time to time, several seventh-rank Dou Wangs would emerge. Fortunately, not far from Liu Yu and his group were several powerful beast tribe officers who took care of these high-ranking experts that exceeded their ability to handle.

  "The Imperial Guard, this is the true Imperial Guard." Once again, after a fierce collision with a practitioner of the Gale and Thunder mixed Galloping Horse technique, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as his palms felt numb.

  But at this moment of sentimentality, a green long sword broke through the air and stabbed directly at Liu Yu's neck.

  Liu Yu's morale was higher than ever, with no intention of retreating. The Golden Sword flashed wildly, and in an instant, he brought the "Broken Hu's Fighting Spirit" to its peak. With a fierce block, his opponent's long sword was cut into two pieces, and along with it, this Imperial Guard infantryman was knocked off balance and stumbled backwards.

  Liu Yu naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by, and with a single swing of his long sword, he chopped down towards his opponent's body. With his immense strength combined with his extraordinary martial arts skills, the power of this one strike was something his opponent absolutely couldn't withstand.

  On this battlefield where the Imperial Guard had been fighting for a long time, Liu Yu couldn't easily kill an enemy. At the moment when Liu Yu's golden sword was about to fall, another long sword with a cyan and blue aura also slashed towards Liu Yu's side. It seemed that the owner of the long sword did not intend to rescue his own comrade, but rather to kill the enemy and gain merit.

  But Liu Yu had no intention of dodging, and allowed the long sword to chop down on his own left arm. As a result, his right hand's golden hilt sword also chopped down unimpeded on the body of the falling Imperial Guard infantryman, with the golden hilt sword slicing from the shoulder down to the heart, cutting off half of the man's body along with one arm.

  Not even a scream was uttered, and this mid-tier warrior of the Farnese Guard was erased from existence. The only proof that he had ever lived was his corpse and the blood splattered on Liu Yu's black leather armor.

  But the Peiping family members who cultivated the mixed wind and thunder, plus Galolin's fighting spirit, couldn't be underestimated in one move. Liu Yu's long sword hadn't even been withdrawn when he was sent flying to the side. Although he had mid-grade inner armor protection given by King Kero, Liu Yu's arm didn't suffer any substantial damage, but he could only use his body to harden against the opponent's powerful blow.

  Fortunately, Liu Yu had just dodged to the side and was caught by a brown-haired hand, and Di Geng, who had been protecting Liu Yu's right wing all along, helped him again.

  "Come on!" The splashing blood, the frequent hard collisions, and the feeling of flying backwards. After landing, Liu Yu let out a loud roar and swung his sword towards Farnese's Imperial Guard who had just chopped him off.

  At this moment, Liu Yu felt that his mind was filled with a desire for slaughter, the blood flowing through his body seemed to come alive, and the strong muscles all over his body were about to explode, full of powerful explosive force, all of which provided him with continuous chopping power.

  "A tribe more brutal than the Mongols, crazy in slaughter, strong in slaughter." Before charging towards the enemy army, Liu Yu's mind inexplicably flashed with this sentence he had read in the Comprehensive History of the Continent. But at that moment, it was too short, like a grain of sand in the vast ocean, and Liu Yu's mind was filled with murderous intent.

  Like Liu Yu, the entire beast tribe's garrison also fell into madness. The wolf warriors increasingly abandoned their weapons and used their sharp teeth to bite off the enemy's legs, hands, necks, and even their own weapons.

  And those powerful warriors of Bimon, one by one, as if they had lost their sanity, continued to slash at every enemy in front of them, at the cost of their own injuries.

  It wasn't long before the small phalanx of Beastmen warriors and the encircling forces of the Farnod Legion were completely disrupted, with both armies becoming thoroughly intermingled.

  The only remaining crimson barrier of the Emerald Dream was gradually fading away with time. Along with it, the vitality of the Beastmen warriors was also slowly fading away, and more and more Beastmen warriors fell to the ground after killing several times their own number of enemy troops.

  The number of beast tribe soldiers fighting in the canyon is decreasing, and the casualties are getting heavier. The Fanothi Guards, who were heavily damaged, received timely reinforcements from the mouth of the canyon.

  Welcome to vote for recommendations, your support is Liu Yu's greatest motivation to become stronger.
