Chapter 924: Volume 29, Sword Qi Points from Afar, - 18: The Storm
The teams composed of Heavenly Peng Knights and Thunderhorse Knights immediately acted like numerous sharp knives plunged into the Army of Homer’s formation, unleashing a fierce and unmatched offensive. The once solid formation of the Homer army seemed incredibly fragile before these knights’ strike teams.
The knight spear and Fighting Qi formed a sharp and penetrating spearhead, rampaging through the bodies of the Rock Corps and Furious Wave Corps. With every surge of Fighting Qi and crossing of spear shadows, countless Barbarian Soldiers and Half-beast Soldiers would howl in pain and perish. Even the toughness of the Barbarians and the stubbornness of the Half-beast Men could only crumble bit by bit in the face of the powerful and invincible Fighting Qi blades.
The Homer Knight Order and the Black Flame Knights had been completely tied down by the Restriction forces led by the Thunderhorse Knights, while the Union Mage Squad was firmly stuck by various Light Arrays launched by Light Mages led by Onia and Lorenzo. Faced with the pressing attacks of the Heavenly Peng Knights and Thunderhorse Knights, Komer was extremely anxious. He had never anticipated that the Thunderhorse Knights would also emerge in full force to join this war. This meant that the Church of Light had almost completely withdrawn from the dispute with the Salvation Society to confront him, but now was not the time to question the role played by the Salvation Society.
Shatima finally could not contain herself and leaped into battle. She, along with Grace, Brianos, Havier, and Bayezid, had no choice but to engage in combat. Some cunning and ruthless Luminous Knights had already penetrated deep into the Homer army formation, selectively attacking the officers of the Furious Wave Corps and Rock Corps to more easily plunge the Homer formation into chaos. Shatima, who had always hoped to hold out until a critical moment to fight, could no longer bear it.
The thick Dragon Spear whipped up a sky-high force, and the chilling frost caused even the three Thunderhorse Knights to shiver incessantly. Even though the three Luminous Knights were protected by Light Arcane, the bone-piercing cold that reached into one’s heart and lungs still threatened to freeze them solid.
A vast and unparalleled force from the Dragon Spear struck, causing the leading Thunderhorse Knight to spit blood. The two following Thunderhorse Knights barely managed to catch the rebounding strike of Shatima’s Dragon Spear by joining forces. The fierce combination attack left the triangular spear formation made by the three Thunderhorse Knights in complete disarray, utterly unable to organize an effective attack.
Mihailovich also finally showed his prowess; two Metal Magic Dolls faced the challenge head-on. The latter Magic Doll was obviously not fully completed. While its attacking ability was unaffected, its somewhat rough appearance was intolerable to Mihailovich’s perfectionist standards. However, when facing a critical juncture of fate, everything could be put aside. Two Thunderhorse Knights seemed overwhelmed by the coordinated attack of the two Metal Magic Dolls, and only with the last-minute involvement of another Thunderhorse Knight were they able to stabilize their position.
Havier, Grace, and Bayezid jointly took on the assault of two Thunderhorse Knights. Despite some difficulty, relying on the axe’s divine power wielded by Bayezid to bear the brunt of the pressure, Havier and Grace used their expertise to continuously launch surprise attacks to contain the offensive of the two Thunderhorse Knights, barely managing to hold on.
