Kalong stared blankly as the Magic Beast heavy cavalry howled past like a gale. He had not even recovered from the shock enough to understand what had happened.
Nearly ten thousand attendant knights wore leather armor, rode tall horses, and carried light, sharp sabers. These attendant knights had undergone rigorous training since childhood and were masters of killing techniques. So long as their battle qi cultivation reached a certain level, they could be promoted to formal knights and become members of the nobility.
The earlier rain of arrows had killed and wounded a great number of attendant knights. Kalong could accept that outcome; after all, the enemy had too many archers, and they had all used specially made armor-piercing crossbow bolts. He could accept any number of losses.
But this time, Kalong could not accept it. He could not believe what he had witnessed with his own eyes.
Four thousand heavy cavalry stood behind Kalong in a neat square formation. To his right, nearly ten thousand attendant knights, clad in leather armor and mounted on their steeds, had likewise formed another square.
Whenever the Dragon Wing Legion's First Cavalry Division went into battle, this was how they operated: the heavy cavalry smashed apart the enemy formation, then the light cavalry pursued at their heels and wiped out the last remnants of resistance.
This time, Kalong had intended to use the same tactic against the enemy who had appeared without warning, so these attendant knights had been arranging their ranks.
But thirty thousand Magic Beast heavy cavalry began a mad charge. Thirty thousand Six-Hoofed Azure Unicorn Oxen, each weighing more than twenty thousand jin, Magic Beasts clad in twenty-thousand-jin heavy armor, together with thirty thousand cavalrymen wielding specially made longspears, swept across the Dragon Wing Legion's attendant knights like Death's scythe.
