Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 63: Chapter 5: Glorious Victory

Su Li just didn’t want to face the same hopeless situation as this Limborg farm, certain death, and that’s why he had to stand his ground and directly face the threat of the Green Dragon.

After examining the battlefield, he decisively stood up and said to everyone around him: ”The walls of this Limborg farm have been breached, and it’s only a matter of time before it’s completely overrun. Although they have stolen my land and farms, only I have the right to judge these land thieves. The barbaric threat of the Beastman must be washed in blood! My loyal soldiers, pick up your weapons and follow me, slaughter them all!”

All the knights and soldiers hiding behind the low hills immediately stood up in unison, the clanking sound of iron armor was sonorous and inspiring, and everyone raised their weapons and shouted: ”Kill them all. For the glory of the Empire!”

With the soldiers cheering with high morale, this well-trained army marched neatly to the top of the hill.

Su Li, clad in fine battle armor and riding a tall Horned Horse, stood at the forefront of the army. Behind him, surrounded by iron armor and banners fluttering, lines of soldiers held their long lances in formation, their armor glinting coldly! The red banner of the Bauhinia family fluttered in the breeze, its golden bauhinia emblem and the crossed swords and hammer symbolizing family power, shining brightly under the torchlight.

Su Li drew the Dwarven Steel Longsword from his waist, its cold blade pointing straight toward the chaos among the Beastmen: ”The enemy is already besieged on both sides, kill them all, leave no one alive!”

”Glory!”

”Victory!”

With the knights’ roar, two groups of knights rode out first, driving all the Beastmen from both wings toward the congested battlefield in the middle.

Then the elite walking knights advanced first, and behind them, the well-trained armed attendants holding long lances and shields moved in, the synchronized and heavy footsteps roaring like thunder.

The Beastman leader snorted two angry breaths from his nostrils, roaring: ”It’s an ambush! Despicable humans, deliberately waiting until our warriors entered the farm before appearing from behind!”

As the Beastman roared, the main force of this beast herd had indeed plunged into the farm, leaving their back exposed, and all that remained were bloated and weak backsides.

Meanwhile, the elite troops of the Hesse Territory were like a sharp longsword, directly piercing their weak abdomen position.

The Inferior Horned Beast raiders wielding bows and arrows couldn’t withstand the frontal assault of the heavy-armored knights, and the numerous weak Inferior Horned Beasts not only failed to provide assistance but instead crowded this narrow terrain, hindering the raiders’ retreat and the Great Horned Beasts’ support.

The two-winged Impact Knights charged repeatedly, continually compressing the movement space of the barbaric beast herd until they were soon crammed together like a tin of sardines.

Knight Commander Orstein took the lead; his dark golden warhammer, forged of fine steel, was enveloped in a layer of golden flame, the powerful Bloodline Power surging. He leapt high at the frontline of fierce battle between the two armies, his entire body shining brilliantly, as golden thunderbolts and lightning surged, reaching their peak. He swung down his warhammer with all his might, crashing into the clogged beast herd.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, it seemed even the canyon where the battle took place trembled. The moment the warhammer struck down, golden flames turned into countless bolts of lightning illuminating the battlefield, tearing open the ground with deep fissures. Amidst the swirling dust, countless Beastmen were flung out, their savage bodies ripped to pieces mid-air, limbs mixed with a rain of blood scattered everywhere! Even the distant monsters, though not flung away, stumbled forward as if struck by a heavy hammer to the chest, colliding clumsily with their companions, instantly causing chaos.

In this strike, at least thirty to forty Inferior Horned Beasts were slain or maimed!

Though terrain and the pressure from the winged cavalry played a role, the horrifying destructive power of this champion-level Knight’s blow shocked everyone on both sides!

Is such terrifying combat prowess something flesh and blood can contend with?

Perhaps only those four or five meter-tall Bloodthirsty Barbarian Bulls could wield war axes on the battlefield, slaughtering dozens of humans! And that’s the result of fierce fighting, whereas this human’s single strike instantly slaughtered so many barbarians, driving countless Inferior Horned Beasts to the brink of collapse in fear.

At this moment, Knight Commander Orstein couldn’t help but feel his bloodline surge, his blood fervent; this was his peak state, as if once more under the attention of the Sun Goddess, his body brimming with endless battle spirit and courage.

Thus he couldn’t help but praise the Sun Goddess and spread her teachings, raising his warhammer, he stood up vigorously, asking his fiercely battling Hilude beside him: ”Hilude, earlier you only spoke of the Beastmen’s victory tactics! Now let me test you again, what strategy should humans employ to win?”

Hilude’s two-handed longsword of fine steel sliced left and right twice, instantly killing the two Inferior Horned Beasts before her, her breath of golden short hair fluttering in the wind, making her bloody figure particularly heroic and majestic.

She retracted her longsword, looking toward the distant roaring Beastman leader wielding dual-bladed axes, calmly replied: ”For humans, the quickest way to victory is undoubtedly to decapitate the beast herd’s leader, using a beheading tactic to demoralize the monsters and destroy their fighting spirit.”

Knight Commander Orstein nodded with satisfaction, pointing his warhammer at the heavily panting Beastman leader, his tone solemn: ”Well said! Then go kill it! Prove your exceptional talent to the Lord!”

Hilude’s pupils trembled; the Beastman leader was a Great Horned Beast, at least requiring an elite-level knight to handle. She had always thought it would undoubtedly be Knight Commander Orstein’s prey.

But then her eyes filled with blazing combat intent! She never intended to be a sheltered flower; this battlefield was the best opportunity to forge her into an unparalleled sword.

So she flicked the blood off her longsword, the blade faintly glowing with golden light, and promptly gripped it, charging toward the monster leader.

At this moment, the monster leader was in a very poor state, with over a dozen arrows left by half-elf archers on its body, the farm’s guards having inflicted great wounds. It bore over a dozen broken arrows and two or three broken lances, and more crucially, it had been entangled by a wasteland ranger with red hair and fierce eyes.

This wasteland ranger, holding a fine steel battle axe, had been vigorously battling the monster leader for a long time.

Hilude could discern the situation, and naturally, those fugitives with rich battle experience could also see it.

After the farm walls were breached, this ranger went for broke, charging toward the barbarian leader.

That’s why it was entangled here, unable to rampage across the infantry front line of the Hesse Territory.

Hilude, gripping her longsword, sternly shouted: ”Stand down, let me take over!”

The monster, seeing a woman dare to challenge it, grew even more enraged and frantic, lowering its shoulders and angling its axes, then with muscles bulging, its arms exerted force, the power of its whole body concentrating in its arms, instantly spinning the axes, emitting a scarlet glow.

”Tornado Slash!”

Faced with this terrifying strike, the ranger in the manor dared not face it head-on, quickly retreating.

Within the range of the Tornado Slash, Horned Beasts and Inferior Horned Beasts unable to dodge in time were instantly sliced into four parts, limbs scattering the ground.

Hilude’s eyes fixed for a moment but she remained unflustered; she coolly sidestepped thrice, continuously dodging the monster’s Tornado Slashes, then immediately gripped her longsword, her legs exerting force, her body swooping forward elegantly and swiftly like a griffin toward the panting, axe-supporting Beastman leader, exhausted by his Tornado Slash.

The sharp blade instantly pierced the monster’s throat, and Hilude then regripped her longsword with both hands, pressing down with strength. The sharp blade sliced across, spraying a torrent of blood from a neat cut, and a massive ram’s head soared skyward!

Su Li couldn’t help but exclaim: ”Oh!” This transition between movement and stillness was unparalleled in its splendor, truly a work of art in combat!

Even Knight Commander Orstein couldn’t help but praise: ”Excellent, excellent! You can evade the weaknesses of a woman’s strength, utilizing a cool-headed combat talent, surpassing even my expectations!”

With his excited words of praise, the monsters utterly collapsed, no longer possessing the courage to face the pincer assault by humans.

Knight Frederick, mounted on a Half Griffin, raised his battle halberd and shouted: ”All knights, pursue with all your might, leave no one alive!”
