Attack! Morton's Nightmare and Rebirth (Part 4)

"Damn it, what are you idiots doing? Didn't you hear the Legion Commander's order? Open the city gate, now!" The captain of the city gate guard felt his eyelid twitch, and before Warwick could lose his temper, he shouted out in a panic.

"One, two..." The fourteen soldiers exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and shouted in unison, "Three!"

"Clang!" The seven burly men unleashed all their strength, pulling until the massive bronze ring snapped, their hands red and swollen from the exertion! Yet, the gate remained unmoved!

"My Lord, My Lord, look there! Those sharp spikes—they've fused the iron gate to the city wall!" A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly pointed at the top and sides of the gate, shouting at the top of his lungs.

Warwick narrowed his eyes, his heart struck by unparalleled shock, while a heavy, ominous cloud began to brew within him.

"These monsters, they mean to trap us inside and starve us to death!" The soldier who discovered the anomaly retreated in terror. "Bang!" Only when his back hit something as solid as a wall did he jerk his head around, seeing Warwick's massive shield pressed firmly against his back, leaving him nowhere to run!

"Afraid? Terrified?" Warwick asked softly.

The soldier snapped back to his senses, immediately falling to his knees and begging for mercy.

Warwick slowly discarded his iron shield, then tensed his muscles, shattering the heavy cavalry armor strapped to his body! Revealing the leather armor he wore underneath, he clasped his hands before his chest, "Everyone, hear my command!"

"Hum!" A great knight's sword slowly appeared in Warwick's hand, and the crystalline Diamond Battle Qi surged upward, completely enveloping the blade. "Ha!" He swung the greatsword down, and a violent wave of silver Battle Qi slammed into the iron gate, instantly cleaving the incredibly sturdy metal into several pieces!

"Charge!" Warwick roared, taking the lead!

"Kill!" The heavy cavalry behind him formed a wedge formation and charged out!

Led by Warwick, this nearly full regiment of cavalry was like a sharp dagger, stabbing fiercely into the Zergling army. With the rapid charge of the warhorses, even ordinary weapons, without any added Battle Qi, could easily tear through the Zergling armor. Warwick, meanwhile, moved as if in an empty field. Serving as the tip of the cavalry spear, he continuously unleashed wide-range combat skills, his Diamond Battle Qi sweeping out in waves, cutting hundreds upon thousands of Zerglings into fragments like wheat at harvest.

In ten breaths, under Warwick's leadership, this cavalry unit had punched directly through the Zergling army! According to the Overlord in the sky responsible for tracking combat data, at least eleven thousand Zerglings had died, five thousand nine hundred of which fell by Warwick's own hand.

"My Emperor, Ye Yi requests to join the battle!"

"My Emperor, Ye Ci requests to join the battle!"

"My Emperor, Ye Di requests to join the battle!"

Warwick's arrogant, sweeping slaughter deeply infuriated the heroes beside Ye Luo, and the three knelt before him simultaneously to volunteer.

Ye Luo smiled slightly, though the cold light in his eyes made that smile suffocatingly icy. "What's the rush? Since he likes wasting his Battle Qi so much, let him have his fun."

Having pierced through the Zergling army, Warwick took a deep breath and raised his broadsword high. "Heroes of the Keren Kingdom, you see? These so-called monsters are nothing more than this. Before your courage and strength, they are as weak as swine! Now, follow me and charge back!"

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

The unstoppable momentum filled the cavalry with confidence. With a roar, they adjusted their formation, reformed the wedge, and continued to charge back through the Zerglings!

Watching the backs of the cavalry slowly disappear into the Zergling army, Ye Luo flicked his fingers.

"My Emperor!" Beside Ye Di, a man so stout he was nearly spherical looked at Ye Luo respectfully.

"Ye Zhang, it is time to let them witness your strength. Attack!"

"Yes! My Emperor!"

Ye Zhang, a unit unlocked by the Zerg Hive at level three and a hero of the Roach Clan, had a massive body but tiny eyes. Yet, those small eyes were currently radiating a bone-chilling gaze!

Within the cavalry, Warwick once again displayed the might of a Tier 6 powerhouse. With the experience of the first charge, the cavalry's momentum was even smoother, and after only a few breaths, they had once again plunged into the heart of the Zergling swarm.

The heavy cavalry's back-and-forth slaughter greatly relieved the pressure on the soldiers atop the city walls. Of the one hundred thousand Zerglings, over half had been lost by this point. The black tide of insects had thinned, and the defending soldiers finally saw a glimmer of hope!

"Spiral Slash!!" The broadsword whirled madly, forming a cyclone in front of Warwick. Every wind blade within the vortex acted like a razor, easily slicing Zerglings in two. Massive amounts of blood misted the air, and in the blink of an eye, the cyclone turned into a cloud of blood under the saturation of gore!

"Boom, boom..." The Zerglings in front of Warwick, seemingly aware they could not withstand his advance, actually turned and fled from his path. This phenomenon greatly bolstered Warwick's spirit, and he immediately shouted, "Look! These weak monsters have begun to fear! They are breaking and fleeing! Warriors, heroes, the dawn of victory is upon us! Follow me and kill!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" Before Warwick's voice had even faded, a large number of black iron spheres surged out from the empty space left by the retreating Zerglings. The spheres blocked the cavalry's path like a wall of black iron!

Warwick was shocked. The power of heavy cavalry lay in the speed of the warhorse's charge, which was added to their weapons. Everyone knew that a passenger plane flying at high altitude could be shattered by the impact of a bird; similarly, a high-speed weapon could easily pierce shields that even a warrior's Battle Qi could not break!

But once the mobility of the cavalry was restricted, their power would be drastically reduced!

"Everyone, be careful! Charge through!" Warwick knew the monsters could burrow, but he didn't understand how they made these man-sized iron spheres move so freely on the surface. At this moment, the cavalry's momentum was rolling forward, and they could not change direction; they had to break through head-on!

"Roar, roar, roar!" Suddenly, as the cavalry approached, the iron spheres shifted and morphed into a new type of monster with legs and feet. These monsters were bloated, as if wearing a suit of armor that covered their entire bodies. Their heads were exposed outside the armor, and their tiny eyes flickered with dangerous light. Each monster stood on six legs like an ant, and from the black iron shell on their backs, two blade-like appendages resembling spider legs extended!

Facing the charging cavalry, the monsters tucked their heads into their iron shells like turtles, and their six legs pressed against the armor, turning them back into iron spheres!
