Assault

Victor pointed to one of the spots and whispered to Ron, "One of you, attack separately. Once you're inside the Barbarians camp, cut down any flags you see, set fire to anything that can burn, and shout in the Barbarian language they've been defeated. Don't worry about me, just focus on killing the enemy."

Ron nodded, Victor knew he understood what he meant.

Victor mounted his horse, and all the soldiers followed suit. Without a word, Victor charged ahead, followed closely by Ron. The entire assault team charged straight into the Barbarians camp in close formation.

"Number 1, activate combat support mode," Victor silently commanded.

Led by Victor, the cavalry charged into the Barbarians camp gates in no time.

Just then, a group of Barbarian Cavalry were preparing to mount their horses and leave the camp through the gate. Because they had not received any reports from the scouts for some time, the leader of the Barbarians army sent out another scout team to check.

The scouts suddenly heard the approaching sound of hooves and soon saw, through the campfire, Cavalry carrying black flags, wearing iron armor and holding long spears, filing into the camp through the gate. Upon seeing them, the cavalrymen suddenly increased their speed, laid their spears flat, and spread out in a wing-like formation as fast as they whirled around.

Victor shouted, "Kill!"

All the Cavalry shouted in unison, "Kill!"

The scout captain who was leading the charge tried to resist, but in Victor's eyes, all his movements were flawed. Victor simply raised his hand slightly, stretched out his lance, and instantly pierced through the scout captain, knocking him off his horse.

Other Barbarians scouts tried to draw their bows and shoot arrows, but it was too late; Victor's Cavalry charged in front of them in an instant.

In particular, the scout captain was seen being pierced through the chest by the leading cavalryman with a long spear and lifted off his horse. His limbs twitched as he tried to grab the spear, but the cavalryman swung his arm away, and the scout captain fell to the ground dead, his death extremely gruesome.

In an instant, the entire scout team collapsed, but before the few dozen scouts could disperse, they were overwhelmed by Victor's hundred riders.

At this point, the Barbarians camp nearby had discovered that enemies had rushed in, but no one was able to organize a counterattack.

Victor ordered his men to spread out in groups of ten, cutting down anyone they saw and chopping down any flags they encountered. They also knocked away any torches and campfires they saw, setting the tents in the camp ablaze, while shouting in Barbarian language that their army had been defeated.

Soon, the camp within a few hundred meters of the gate was in complete chaos, with fires spreading and smoke rising.

Victor thrived in this kind of battle. In combat support mode, he saw all enemies as if in slow motion, receiving all battlefield information. Even if someone tried to launch a sneak attack on him, he could detect it in advance and dodge it.

Victor began beheading all the Barbarian Cavalry officers he saw. Using his superhuman strength and the weaknesses exploited by his Combat Assistance System, none of them could withstand a second blow, and soon his armor was soaked in blood.

The battle went smoothly for Victor, but problems arose for Ron.

At another gate, a patrol of Cavalry spotted Ron rushing into the camp. They shouted, and although Ron killed several men in time, they had already spread the word of the attack.

Soon, small squads of Barbarians soldiers began to thwart Ron and his men's raid. Although they were easily defeated, they still thwarted Ron and his men's goal of creating chaos.

Although some tents were set ablaze, progress was far behind that of Victor's side.

But none of that mattered; the entire Barbarians camp's attention had already been drawn to this.

The highest-ranking Barbarians commander in the camp, the leader of this 8,000-strong barbarian cavalry, named Val, had discovered that his camp had been attacked and was gathering his Personal Guard and Barbarians officers in an attempt to quell the unrest.

Unfortunately, it was too late. When Legion Commander Benjamin saw the fires in the Barbarians camp, he knew the attack had worked. However, he did not move out immediately but waited patiently for nearly fifteen minutes, allowing Victor to lure more Barbarians troops away.

At this moment, Benjamin put on his helmet, mounted his warhorse, and raised his enormous lance high. "Victory!"

With just one shout, the morale of the thousand-plus Cavalry behind him soared, as if they had already achieved a great victory, and they shouted along with Benjamin's call.

The commotion was also noticed in the Barbarians camp.

When Benjamin led dozens of Iron Knights out first, the Barbarians soldiers who saw this scene were terrified. Seeing that countless Heavy Cavalry were surging out of the darkness, the Barbarians soldiers who were close to the edge of the camp immediately turned their horses and galloped away to tell their leader Val, this deadly news.

The sheer number of riders galloping was overwhelming; even the darkness of night couldn't conceal it. From afar, one could see the billowing dust and the thunderous hooves, and even a fool would know that a large cavalry force was about to engage in battle.

Benjamin wouldn't give the Barbarians time to regroup.

After hastily reorganizing the formation during the march, the standard bearer behind Benjamin pointed the flag forward, and the commander's bugle call spurred the troops on.

With over a thousand Cavalry led by six hundred Heavy Cavalry at the front, they split into groups of fifty, forming a massive goose-shaped formation. Like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, or a giant scythe cutting through the grass, they charged fiercely towards the Barbarians camp.

The wooden fence of the Barbarians camp was instantly destroyed by the leading Iron Knights. Behind the fence, another group of Barbarian Cavalry attempted to intercept them, but they were swept away by the tsunami-like attack in an instant, without even making a ripple.

By this time, Val realized that he had been feinted, so he ignored Victor's side and led the assembled 600 Personal Guard to try to intercept Benjamin's group.

But when Val saw the hundreds of Heavy Cavalry charging ahead, and looked back at the six hundred or so riders wearing only half-body armor, he was extremely frustrated.

Originally, he had a thousand personal guards, but in order to break through Hot Water Fortress, he sent four hundred-man squads to attack the city. Now, he has finally managed to gather 600 personal guards. Even with the addition of other Barbarians troops that have already assembled, they are no match for such Heavy Cavalry charge. It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. They have no chance of winning.

Amidst Val's despairing gaze and the deafening shouts of battle, the Second Legion's most elite Heavy Cavalry stormed into his ranks with unstoppable momentum.

In a short while, Benjamin led his personal guards through the Barbarian Cavalry and broke through their lines.

Val also fell to the lance of an Iron Knights, along with his six hundred personal guards, becoming victims of the Second Legion.

The Heavy Cavalry did not delay. After handing over the scattered Barbarians soldiers to the following Light Cavalry, they continued to charge into the unprepared Barbarians ranks.

After the last hastily organized Barbarians Cavalry collapsed and scattered, Victor reunited with Legion Commander Benjamin. At this point, Victor had only forty or fifty men left behind.
