For heavy cavalry, once they lost momentum while breaking through enemy lines, the outcome was undoubtedly fatal.
The Black Armored Cavalry were no exception.
Countless anomalies fearlessly lunged at the Black Armored Cavalry, using their own flesh to forcibly halt the warhorses' charge—several cavalrymen had seven or eight anomalies skewered on their lances like candied hawthorns, while the rams mounted on the horses' breastplates were covered in chunks of flesh, organs, and intestines. Yet the moment their speed dropped even slightly, numerous anomalies would leap onto the horses and riders, attacking with teeth and claws while desperately trying to drag the riders from their mounts.
The standard armor of the Black Armored Cavalry had clasps connecting the crotch guards and inner thigh plates to the saddles, making it difficult to pull an entire rider from a horse under normal circumstances... but the anomalies' brute strength was simply too terrifying. Many cavalrymen were torn apart at the waist—their legs still hung from either side of the saddle, while their upper bodies had been ripped away. Blood and mangled flesh nearly coated the entire battlefield.
Ye Jiu's breathing grew heavier as well.
An indescribable desire for slaughter gradually took root in his heart and spread.
An anomaly with four arms, twisted features, and festering skin all over its body suddenly leaped high into the air. Its barbed nails hooked onto a protrusion on Slaughter's shoulder armor, leaving its whole body hanging at Ye Jiu's side. The next second, another hand clawed at Ye Jiu's face, dagger-sharp nails thrusting straight toward the viewing slit in his mask.
"Get off!"
Ye Jiu let out a low roar and drove Frost Cutter backward into the anomaly's chest. Freezing air instantly turned the entire creature into an ice sculpture.
Then Ye Jiu swung Frost Cutter upward.
