Chapter 182 The Assassin Reappears, and the War Turns
Without the Wrath of the Giant, Count Winter could not engage the Giant head-on, but he had to stop him because the Giant was advancing towards his army.
The Flying Wolf Cavalry in the sky tried to get closer to stop them, but the thunder surged like a storm. Some Flying Wolf Cavalry fell from the sky, and both their mounts and the people were all charred. There was almost no possibility of them surviving.
This scene made the leader of the Knights, Hora, look terrified. He commanded the Flying Wolf Cavalry to continue fighting against the barbarians and no longer paid attention to the giants.
Count Winter arrived, and not only him, but this time there were also five sky knights who appeared around the Thunder Giant, from the family of Count Winter and the family of Count Sauron.
“My Lord Count.”
“No need to salute on the battlefield. Focus on dealing with this monster. If possible, kill him.”
When the Thunder Giant began to threaten the war, Earl Winter no longer hesitated. Once he had the chance, he would definitely kill him.
The Thunder Giant launched an attack on the army. Earl Winter and others tried their best to stop it. As long as they waited for half an hour, a new round of forbidden spells from the mages would arrive, and Earl Winter would be sure to kill the Thunder Giant on the battlefield.
“The giant will not be a match for Count Winter. Not only does he have the support of the Mage Corps, but he also has the Countess, a Sanctuary magician. If she appears on the battlefield with the Mage Tower, the giant will also die.”
Beside Count Weiss, Hector Weiss, the eldest son of the Count, spoke:
“Father, one Thunder Giant is not enough to end this war, especially since he is not yet fully grown.”
He didn’t want the Thunder Giant to die like this, and he also knew that his father had more than just a Thunder Giant in his hand.
Count Weiss looked thoughtful, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
……
“Brand, if you keep them down, the magic potion will naturally make them collapse!”
Ryan has come to the front with a knight’s sword in hand. Only the barbarians can pose a threat to him, but now there are no barbarians on the battlefield.
Faced with a group of slaves who had turned into beasts, Ryan could only swing his sword and stir up blood.
However, at a certain moment when he swung the sword, an extremely biting chill came from behind him. At the critical moment, Ryan roared, and the strong energy and blood in his body burst out. The condensed energy and blood actually formed a layer of blazing flame defense on the surface of the body. The majesty of the dragon was faintly reflected in the flames, and the outline of dragon scales flashed.
boom! ! !
The huge force made Ryan stagger. He turned around and saw a cat-man assassin about one meter tall emerging from the shadows. His face was flushed and blood spurted out the next moment.
The knights and attendants around were extremely angry. There was an assassin among them who wanted to kill Master Ryan. The most important thing was that they did not react at all.
“Damn it!!!”
The knights’ servants roared in anger, not knowing whether they were angry at the cat-man assassin or at themselves.
Seven or eight knights’ long swords fell heavily, directly chopping the cat-man assassin into pieces.
Cat people have always been at the bottom among the orcs, but they didn’t expect that there is such a powerful supernatural system that integrates the power of shadows and is not affected at all in this chaotic battlefield.
“Count Weiss, are you really crazy?”
Ryan looked into the distance. It was fine if they had done it secretly before, but now they dared to openly assassinate nobles on the battlefield. Not to mention how many successes they had, only one baron died at the hands of the assassins on the battlefield. It was absolutely impossible for Earl Weiss to take over the North Wind Province.
What’s the point of doing this?
“kill!”
Ryan roared angrily. If he hadn’t mastered the three kinds of knight breathing methods at the same time and reached the Silver Knight, bringing with him extremely powerful blood and fighting spirit, the mithril armor on his body might not be able to block the rapier of the cat assassin.
A surge of anger rose in his heart, and the anger of new and old grudges made Ryan’s hands burn with flames, and then the flames spread to the knight’s sword. With every swing, the power of the dragon’s roar rippled in the void.
The dragon’s roar brought the dragon’s might. The slave soldiers who had taken the magic potion all trembled in fear. The magic potion that turned them into monsters also became their fatal weakness at this moment. Even when the enemy’s sharp weapons pierced their flesh and blood, they still trembled and crawled on the ground, fearing the majesty of the dragon.
The battlefield was turned upside down at this moment. Ryan turned over and rode on the warhorse. Wearing silver-white armor, he raised the burning sword high in his hand.
“Victory will belong to Ryan!”
“Victory!!! Victory!!! Victory!!! Victory!!!”
One soldier after another roared, and the roar resounded through the sky of the battlefield, attracting the attention of many nobles.
“That little fellow from the Clayton family actually revived the dragon’s fighting spirit in his blood.”
Earl Weiss was extremely surprised. He knew a lot about the Clayton family. Even if he didn’t know about it before, when there was a rumor that the Clayton family would become the fifth Grand Duke, all the nobles would try every means to find out.
“If it has such potential, why would it be allowed to be sent to the North?”
Count Weiss was a little puzzled, but he fell silent when he thought of what Ryan had done in the North Wind Province.
With such talent and potential, how bad could it be even in the North? Lingdu County has now become Baron Ryan’s back garden, which is much better than many nobles in the South.
“Father… Viscount Hogg is obviously afraid of Baron Ryan. He has never dared to lead his troops to attack Baron Ryan’s army.”
Hector said with anger in his eyes. At this moment, under the leadership of the flaming sword, the war was constantly tilting in a direction that did not belong to them.
Viscount Hogg’s cavalry, in coordination with the infantry, slaughtered people everywhere on the battlefield. Everyone saw the power of that cavalry, but at the same time, Baron Ryan’s army was larger in number and advanced faster, and there would be no problem of breaking through the enemy’s line and making the battlefield more chaotic.
The torn army and the fallen parts will only become lambs to be slaughtered.
On the other side, the Thunder Giant was also blocked by Earl Winter and several Sky Knights on the open land. The roaring thunder only affected a few hundred soldiers in the distance at most. It was no longer possible to destroy Earl Winter’s army with ease.
The Flying Wolf Knights and the Dragon Blood Warriors are gradually eroding their barbarian army. The extraordinary legion of the Count Weiss family was established too recently, and the barbarians are an extraordinary force that is difficult to form formations. It cannot compare with those extraordinary legions that have been maintained for hundreds of years.
It’s fine when there is an advantage in numbers, but once the numbers are balanced, the disadvantages of lack of training and discipline will become the fatal weakness of the barbarian army.
