Chapter 857: One sided battle |
The ammo in the Exquisite Floating Ball’s system was used on Earth; all that was left were just skills after Ye Zhongming turned it into a piece of equipment.
However, due to the damage, it stopped after charging into these cavaliers. Although it killed hundreds of people, it lost momentum.
The Exquisite Floating Ball wouldn’t have stopped if it still had its ammo. It would have attacked the cavaliers in front of it, blowing them into the sky.
However, due to the damage from the light strike and the lack of ammo, the equipment that was repaired a few days ago broke down once again.
Hong Xiang stared at the halberds that were thrust at them through the video feed; fear rose in his heart.
The Light Saint Hall’s name was too loud.
But before he could do anything, Ye Zhongming pulled his arm and said something that terrified him.
“Go out and kill them!”
His injuries hadn’t recovered!
But the entrance to Exquisite Floating Ball had opened.
Two people jumped out.
That shocked the Light Cavaliers. Ye Zhongming was a foreign face, but they had seen Hong Xiang before in the portraits of previous wars. They were momentarily stunned when they just saw him, but a craze appeared in their eyes.
Hong Xiang! It is a king!
The geniuses of Saint Light Hall competed in terms of skill. Whoever was stronger received more attention, and whoever was a genius received more attention.
What about those ordinary warriors? They couldn't reach the advanced evolved levels even if they reached level five or six.
They didn’t have enough resources.
You could learn battle techniques for free when you entered their army system. Some teachers would teach them, cultivators, to lead them, and they would also get some medicines and equipment.
Every warrior could reach level four if one weren’t too bad. The slightly talented would reach level five, and the better ones might reach level six.
But that was the limit. Even if Light Saint Hall was rich, this was the maximum they could do. Even then, it was enough for Light Saint Hall to be much stronger than the scattered Posthumous people. They could use their average level four and five armies to crush the poor Posthumous people tribes.
Those in the secret realm might not know, but Ye Zhongming, who was outside of this situation, knew clearly. Saint Light Hall’s advantage was in their system. There was a gap in civilization between them and the Posthumous people.
But even if they reached such a level, it wasn’t easy for them to improve further. The Saint Light Hall wouldn’t provide them with various resources, and they would have to fight for them.
With such a system, people would come together to protect the Saint Light Hall’s rule.
You would have to contribute to obtain resources like better weapons and equipment.
Only those who reached level seven could obtain the second half of the technique, just the Light Strike alone. Just this alone showed how strict they were.
The most direct way to contribute was through fights. The best way to do so was war.
Now that they were in a war, everyone was trying their best to contribute. But such chances wouldn’t drop from the sky; they would have to risk their lives to fight. These people weren’t afraid of death; they were only worried that they didn’t get a chance.
Why were they willing to massacre those weak Posthumous People tribes? That was because this was listed as one of the ways to get contribution points, which was why they would break away from the main army to spend some time killing the tribes.
Now that more points landed from the sky, a king actually appeared in front of them without any support. As long as they killed this king, they might get a rank and obtain the second half of Light Strike.
Thus, these cavaliers, who were still attacking the Exquisite Floating Ball, turned their weapons on Ye Zhongming and Hong Xiang.
Of course, most of the attacks were directed at Hong Xiang. Those that attacked Ye Zhongming… Due to the distance, they couldn’t reach Hong Xiang.
Hong Xiang wanted to die. He had to go all out. If not, he would be turned into a bee hive. But at that moment, there was some clear movement. A streak of light pierced the few cavaliers at the front and sliced them into two.
Everyone turned and saw a few weird-shaped things standing on the hill nearby. The light came from these weapons.
Beside the weapons were thousands of people dashing from behind the hills, right at them.
“Enemy!”
The commander shouted. Two hundred cavaliers facing that direction turned their horses and started to charge. They didn’t fear the enemy that was ten times their number.
On this side, the other cavaliers started to attack Ye Zhongming and Hong Xiang. But they realized that there was suddenly a staff before them. A woman holding a bottle protected them, stopping their attacks.
Hong Xiang heaved a sigh of relief. Although Ye Zhongming had already killed over a hundred cavaliers, and their formation was in such a mess that Hong Xiang wasn’t afraid he would get surrounded and killed, they would have to pay a huge price to escape.
Fortunately, Ye Zhongming’s subordinates were present. Ye Zhongming also summoned this strong protective spell, which relaxed Hong Xiang.
This kid’s equipment was great.
But what shocked him more was yet to happen. As he watched, those people Ye Zhongming brought, the women wearing green and silver armor stopped after dashing for some distance. They formed two rows. The first squatted down, and the second row stood. They raised a weird weapon and fired at the Light Cavaliers. Beside them, a team of around a thousand that was as orderly as the Light Cavaliers also raised this weapon and pulled the trigger.
All sorts of noises filled the area.
The cavaliers saw that they couldn’t attack Ye Zhongming and Hong Xiang, so they went to support their allies. They charged into the gunfire.
After which, Hong Xiang watched as they… Were massacred.
As for Ye Zhongming’s side, none of them were injured.
