Chapter 803 - 339: Victory, Bone Fragments Containing the Power of Chaos
"Hold the line! Hold the line!"
The remaining Centaur commander, seeing the dire situation, gave orders in panic.
If it were on the plains, the Centaurs, with their absolute numerical advantage, would not be so easily defeated.
However, the unique terrain of the mountains prevented the army from deploying.
In the narrow confines, the advancing Cold-blooded Cavalry were like heavy tanks forged from steel!
They slaughtered the Centaurs like mowing grass.
Coupled with the Ancient Tree Guardians on the hillside hurling explosive boulders crazily, they attacked like endless ammo turrets.
People and horses were blasted into disarray, unable to organize a decent counterattack.
In the sky, the Crowned Eagle-horned Beast Knights, seeing the Centaurs unable to deal with them, relentlessly shot arrows, using their aerial agility to dominate the earth below.
Not only did the Centaur Warriors suffer, but even the War Giant Beasts, much bulkier than elephants and resembling swine, could not escape their fate in the dense crowd, soon buried under the chaos of boulders...
The valley became a massive meat grinder, Centaur blood flowing into streams, staining the hard, dry ground.
After over an hour of battle, the Centaur army’s multiple counterattacks were shattered, leading to their final collapse.
The remaining sixty to seventy thousand fled the valley in frantic terror, retreating beyond the Long Thorn Mountain Range...
This briefly planned ambush battle quietly came to an end.
The final result was that Weilu City’s army perfectly completed their set task.
Despite being at an absolute numerical disadvantage, they achieved local dominance through high individual quality and unique terrain.
With one decisive push, they shattered the Centaurs.
A thoroughly satisfying victory.
Lear, who watched all this in silence, felt exceptionally pleased.
Though he had absolute confidence in his army, winning so decisively was still satisfying.
Even without top Heroes to hold the line, the army’s raw strength remained as hard as iron!
His heart was full of a sense of accomplishment—this was all forged by his own hands!
After the Centaur rout, the army did not pursue but quickly took stock of the battle gains, recovering the weapons and supplies left by the Centaurs, then led the troops back to Katana.
The most important corpses were transported by the Bubble Beasts.
Post-battle statistics showed that Weilu City’s army had under a thousand fatalities, with many more only lightly wounded.
Although the Cold-blooded Cavalry fought on the most intense frontlines, they avoided severe injuries due to the Rock Heavy Armor that had been upgraded several times.
Their armor was covered in dense cracks, looking somewhat exaggerated.
The Ancient Tree Guardians did not enter the valley battle, and with their 25-meter tall frames, any centaur charging up would be easily swatted down by them.
They suffered no significant losses.
The Centaur army, on the other hand, lost ten thousand or more, their elites wiped out, with several dozen advanced commanders, including the Centaur Commander, all perishing.
Lear smiled slightly upon receiving the battle report.
This ambush was almost perfect, directly severing the Centaur’s offensive.
Although the Wild Pantheon wouldn’t easily give up their covetous ambitions, they would certainly think twice, and wouldn’t dare to act rashly in the near term.
In contrast, his forces were virtually undamaged.
After the army returned, Lear summoned Isa, lavish with his praise.
"Isa, well done this time."
"It’s enough to inflict pain on the Centaurs!"
The Centaur God, though an ancient and powerful Divine Spirit, faced a problem... They might not have many Level 15 troops.
If it were Ultimate Soldiers, perhaps they could muster tens of thousands... but entering the Original Plane, maybe not.
Moreover, they needed to guard their already-occupied lands and could not commit everything to invade.
"Continue to strengthen vigilance and prevent any threats... Meanwhile, dispatch three battalions of Crowned Eagle-horned Beast Knights back to the excavation site to continue assisting the Goddess of Misfortune."
"As you wish!"
Isa, pleased with the praise, kept her demeanor calm despite her good mood.
After numerous battles, this Dark Night Elf leader, initially forced from the Underworld by the Holy Song Clan, had grown.
Now she possessed stability even in battles of this magnitude.
This was what Lear valued most.
After Isa went to arrange matters, Lear thought for a moment, then stood on the walls of Katana.
These walls of woven vines, covered in sinister cacti, looked quite daunting at a glance.
His eyes gazed at the surrounding area.
In the distance, mountains rose in layers, mingling with hues of pale green.
Unconsciously, he had become the Sovereign of this mountain range.
And it took only three months or so.
Though the battle went smoothly, it also revealed a major issue... The number of troops was still insufficient.
Despite his efforts to expand the army, there remained a significant gap compared to his competitors.
The advantage accumulated over time was starkly evident.
He needed to expand his forces as much as possible, whether with Half-Elves or Wetland Lizard-men... The upcoming situations would become even more chaotic!
As he pondered, the image of a figure with long hair floating behind them and an unparalleled grace floated to his mind.
He subconsciously touched the Rose Flower Bracelet on his wrist, but then chuckled silently as the bracelet was still in the Swamp Divine Kingdom...
It appears he must take a trip to the city Firina occupied, as Lorand City should have a way to obtain a large amount of what he needed.
