Knight Charge Formation

As the orcs roared excitedly and charged out of the human defense line, towards the direction of the sun, a knight formation of 33 people had completed their jog and acceleration. As the orcs broke through the human defense line, the knight formation's speed had already reached its peak.

As the arrowhead of the knight formation's charge, Knight Saloyan was at the very front, with Senior Knight Bernal and Senior Knight Hope closely following.

Knight Saloyan shouted, "Loyalty!"

Following that, Knight Saloyan's white Battle Qi surged out of his body, and then all the knights ignited their Battle Qi.

Knight Saloyan then shouted, "Honor!"

All the knights' Battle Qi began to merge. Even the 30 intermediate and low-level knights, under the boost of the charge formation, began to emit Battle Qi outside their bodies.

"Sacrifice!"

More and more Battle Qi began to transmit from back to front with the charge formation.

"Valor!"

A large amount of Battle Qi converged on the bodies of the three senior knights.

"Mercy!"

The three senior knights began to manifest Battle Qi armor, which only Great Knights possessed.

"Spirit!"

As the knight formation accelerated, the white Battle Qi on the three knights' armor grew stronger and stronger. Finally, the Battle Qi armor of the three merged into one, forming an arrowhead.

"Honesty!"

As more and more Battle Qi was transmitted by the 30 knights behind, this arrowhead grew larger and larger.

"Justice!"

Finally, the front of the charge formation was covered by a giant arrowhead formed of Battle Qi.

The Knight Charge Formation was a powerful ability that allowed humans to survive in this world. The Knight Charge was the convergence of the knight's spirit. A formation of more than 10 official knights could activate the charge formation. The more knights joined, the stronger the power.

A saying circulated on the Holy Continent: "When 'Loyalty,' 'Honor,' 'Sacrifice,' 'Valor,' 'Mercy,' 'Spirit,' 'Honesty,' and 'Justice' converge, human knights will be unstoppable!"

To defeat a charging knight formation, one could only wait for it to stop. This was how countless enemies described the Knight Charge Formation.

The soldiers who had just used the defensive formation to block the orcs' charge were doing so to give their knight formation enough time to use the charge formation. Although the charge formation was very powerful, it could only be effective on a regular battlefield. Due to the long activation time and the obvious, iconic Battle Qi effect, opponents had ample time to react when they detected the knight formation preparing to activate the charge formation.

"This is a Knight Charge, run!" Fowler shouted loudly, his composure completely gone. Facing humanity's strongest attack formation, all that remained was terror.

But the orc cavalry, slowed down by the defensive formation, had no chance to escape the knight formation's already activated Knight Charge. The white Battle Qi arrowhead was like a scythe, reaping the terrified orc cavalry.

"Protect the young master!" The Wolf Riders, whose formation was further back, still maintained most of their combat strength. They charged forward madly, using their bodies and lives to cover the young master Fowler's retreat.

Two of Fowler's nine personal Wolf Riders had already been lost in the previous battle. The remaining seven Wolf Riders, with Fowler in their midst, retreated.

"For Woolf!" With roars, Wolf Riders charged at the front of the knight formation. Although it was futile, Wolf Riders continued to charge forward, shouting.

"Damn humans, I will lead an army to kill you all," Fowler muttered meaningless curses.

Orcs and humans were different. Human nobles generally inherited by the eldest son, while orcs inherited titles based on strength.

Fowler, as the sixth son of the Woolf Family, participated in this Newcomer Trial to compete for the position of family leader.

Every year, the Orc Empire sent a large number of young warriors into the human world. Surviving in the human world for three months would earn them important positions in the empire. The main reason was that orcs reproduced too quickly, and the Orc Empire's resources were limited. Especially for these training orcs, the resources consumed annually felt like a drop in the bucket for the Orc Empire. Thus, the "Death Trial" came about, though it had a more pleasant name, "Newcomer Trial."

Fowler was accompanied by two Senior Wolf Riders. Orcs of this high combat level rarely appeared in such trials because high-level combatants were important to any country and could not be easily lost. These two Senior Wolf Riders came to the human world specifically to protect Fowler.

"Awooo!" A Senior Wolf Rider howled loudly at the sky. With the boost of Battle Qi, the sound clearly reached one of the Sky-Scorching Sparrows circling in the air. The operator understood that it was a request to lower altitude. This operator knew that one of the individuals to be picked up was a very distinguished orc. He had been instructed to ensure this orc was brought back. Hearing the signal from below, the operator gently patted the Sky-Scorching Sparrow's neck. The Sky-Scorching Sparrow drew an arc in the air and quickly lowered its altitude, only twenty meters above the ground.

Two Senior Wolf Riders each grabbed one of Fowler's arms. They fully activated their Battle Qi and let out a loud roar, throwing Fowler into the air.

"I will take good care of your families!" Fowler shouted loudly to the two Senior Wolf Riders from mid-air. Then, the giant figure of the Sky-Scorching Sparrow appeared beneath Fowler, lifting him up.

At the same time, the knight formation's charge had approached the two Senior Wolf Riders. The two Senior Wolf Riders' bodies shimmered with intense Battle Qi, and their faces showed relief. The target they were protecting was safe, and their families would be cared for by the young master. It was all worth it.

Almost like a giant wave washing over a dirt mound, the two Senior Wolf Riders were instantly turned into bloody mist by the immense charging force. The greater the power, the greater the rebound force from the charge formation.

The Sky-Scorching Sparrow at a height of twenty meters seemed startled by the knight formation on the ground and quickly accelerated upwards.

A soaring Battle Qi erupted within the knight formation. It was Knight Saloyan, who saw that the Sky-Scorching Sparrow was not far from the ground. He gathered the Battle Qi of all the knights and sent it towards the sky. The Sky-Scorching Sparrow's ascent speed was not slow, but the Battle Qi was faster. In an instant, it had approached the Sky-Scorching Sparrow.

Fowler, on the back of the Sky-Scorching Sparrow, felt the danger. Gritting his teeth, he took out a Rune card from his embrace and crushed it forcefully, throwing it towards the approaching Battle Qi. The Rune card transformed into a white shield, but the Battle Qi, formed by the combined power of the 33 knights, broke through the shield after being blocked for a moment.

Although the shield did not withstand the Battle Qi, it still weakened its power by more than half. The remaining Battle Qi cut a long, narrow wound on the Sky-Scorching Sparrow before disappearing.

The injured Sky-Scorching Sparrow let out a startled cry and flapped its wings frantically, flying straight forward. No matter how the operator tried to soothe it, the frightened Sky-Scorching Sparrow did not follow the designated route.

At this moment, the operators of the other Sky-Scorching Sparrows in the sky noticed that the targets they were supposed to pick up had all been killed. Moreover, the Sky-Scorching Sparrows were becoming increasingly agitated above the battlefield. They began to control their Sky-Scorching Sparrows to return.

"He got away," Knight Saloyan said with some annoyance.

This escaping werewolf must have been of extraordinary status. All the Wolf Riders had desperately blocked them just now. In the end, the two Senior Wolf Riders would rather die themselves than let the werewolf get onto the Sky-Scorching Sparrow. And the Sky-Scorching Sparrow dared to fly low to pick up the werewolf; all of this indicated the werewolf's extraordinary nature.

"Clean up the battlefield," Senior Knight Bernal said from the side.

Nearly 160 orc cavalry of level 6 or above, including two Senior Wolf Riders. This was already a huge victory.

The 200 soldiers defending the valley entrance were recalled to help clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded.

Whether dead or alive, the heads of all the orcs on the ground were cut off. These were all battle merits.

"Sir, the statistics are out," a deputy with a bandaged hand walked over, his face grim. "Out of 1,000 soldiers, excluding the 200 defending the valley entrance, 302 were killed, 54 were seriously wounded, and 5 were lightly wounded."

"Report it. Set aside a portion of the spoils for their families," Knight Saloyan said helplessly. War always involved casualties. These were his elite soldiers, trained for many years. They were no problem against ordinary orcs, but it was difficult to resist these orc cavalry of level 6 or above. This was also because the orcs wanted to break out of the encirclement quickly and were not focused on fighting.
