After annihilating the Dan Zhu Tribe, Oliver Sheng’s forces suffered almost zero casualties.
The charge of two thousand heavy cavalry martial artists was unstoppable, a crushing massacre.
Five thousand light cavalry were responsible for sweeping the periphery. The Dan Zhu Tribe, with only three thousand combat-ready warriors, couldn’t organize effective resistance and were completely slaughtered.
Seeing his Kill Points increase by over five thousand, Oliver eagerly anticipated how many more he could accumulate on this expedition to the grasslands.
“General, the next Xianyou Tribe is thirty miles from here. They don’t have many people. Should we go and sweep them out?” Zane Wang suggested.
“Move out!”
Oliver immediately ordered, planning to sweep through all the way.
A day later, Oliver led his army to sweep through over twenty large and small Xianyou tribes, killing more than fifty thousand enemies.
Oliver’s Kill Points increased to over thirty thousand.
After all, many of the enemies killed were ordinary people without cultivation, which didn’t generate Kill Points.
The surviving Xianyou tribesmen fled desperately to the main Xianyou tribe to report the invasion of the Great Wei army into the grasslands.
“Father, it’s terrible, terrible news.”
In the main Xianyou tribe, Kaden Yu received the report from the tribesmen and stumbled to his father’s retreat.
“Panicking like this, you’re not a qualified heir,” Yu Han’s voice sounded, full of disappointment.
“Father, the Wei army is attacking,” Kaden Yu couldn’t care less about the disappointment.
In the previous two wars against Oliver Sheng, his spirit had been crushed.
“The Wei army is attacking?” Yu Han thought he had misheard.
“What do you mean the Wei army is attacking?!”
“Father, the Wei army has invaded the grasslands, slaughtering over twenty tribes and fifty to sixty thousand of our people,” Kaden Yu quickly explained.
“The Wei army, when did they have the guts to invade the grasslands?” Yu Han was furious.
A hundred years ago, their Xianyou Tribe had conquered River West County of Great Wei, seizing the grasslands and depriving Great Wei of their horse-breeding land.
For a hundred years, Great Wei hadn’t come to reclaim this land.
Today, Great Wei had grown bold enough to invade the grasslands.
“How many of them are there?” Yu Han immediately asked.
“The report said there are ten thousand cavalry,” Kaden Yu replied quickly.
“A mere ten thousand cavalry dare to invade the grasslands and attack our Xianyou Tribe? They don’t take us seriously,” Yu Han was even more furious.
If it were an army of a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, he would find it normal and might even request help from other Barbarian tribes.
But a mere ten thousand cavalry daring to challenge the Xianyou Tribe was a blatant insult.
“Gather fifty thousand warriors. I will annihilate them. How dare they underestimate our Xianyou Tribe?” Yu Han couldn’t let the Great Wei army rampage on his territory.
“Do we know who is leading the Great Wei army?”
“The tribesmen didn’t say, probably because they don’t know,” Kaden Yu answered.
“Useless, get out and send scouts to gather information about the enemy…”
The Xianyou Tribe reacted quickly. Yu Han, the tribal leader, swiftly gathered warriors from various tribes, assembling fifty thousand cavalry to annihilate Oliver Sheng’s forces on the grasslands.
……
“General, scouts report that the Xianyou Tribe has gathered fifty thousand troops and are heading our way. Should we avoid their edge?” Zane Wang came to report.
At this moment, Oliver’s forces were resting and eating on a grassland.
Hearing Zane Wang’s report, Oliver pondered.
“The Barbarian cavalry number fifty thousand, while we have ten thousand, including auxiliary troops. Five to one, the advantage is mine.”
“The advantage is mine, why should I avoid their edge?” Oliver said boldly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan almost dropped the lamb leg in his hand.
The enemy is five times their number, yet Oliver claims the advantage?
Did he not learn math properly?
“Just as well, saves us from searching tribe by tribe. Annihilate these fifty thousand Xianyou cavalry, and the Barbarian tribe will be severely weakened, unable to attack River West County for a long time,” Oliver continued.
The Xianyou Tribe had a population of about eight hundred thousand. If he annihilated these fifty thousand elite cavalry, the total number of deaths at his hands would reach a hundred thousand.
He didn’t believe this Barbarian tribe could mobilize every single person for war.
Losing a hundred thousand soldiers would severely weaken the Xianyou Tribe.
Clearly, Oliver planned to face them head-on.
With him leading, as long as there were no Great Grandmasters or higher-level figures to stop him, Oliver was confident that his two thousand heavy cavalry could cut through the Barbarian’s fifty thousand troops.
This confidence stemmed from his own strength and his trust in his two thousand elite heavy cavalry.
Seeing Oliver’s decision to confront the Barbarian army head-on, no one objected. They followed Oliver’s orders unconditionally.
Despite Oliver’s displayed strength and aura being at Innate Great Perfection, his subordinates had witnessed him slay a Daoist Yin Spirit master comparable to a mid-stage Great Grandmaster. They were already in awe of his strength.
No one knew the true extent of their general’s power.
“Zane Wang, continue to monitor the Barbarian army’s movements with the scouts,” Oliver instructed.
“Yes, General.”
Zane Wang quickly grabbed some food and led his scouts to monitor the Barbarian army’s movements.
Chi Tiansheng, meanwhile, was gnawing on a whole roasted lamb, with a pile of lamb bones at his feet.
In his eyes, there was only food. In battle, he just followed Oliver Sheng, charging and fighting fiercely.
With three meals a day, always eating to his fill, and practicing the Flood Dragon Devouring Technique, Chi Tiansheng’s cultivation had reached mid-stage Martial Master. His blood energy was comparable to a mid-stage Innate Martial Artist, making him a formidable and naturally powerful warrior.
Wielding a heavy mace, anyone below Innate couldn’t withstand a single blow from him.
Though not the brightest, he was incredibly brave in battle.
Oliver’s forces didn’t continue to sweep through the Xianyou tribes but set up camp to rest and wait for the Barbarian army.
The next afternoon, Zane Wang returned with the scouts.
“General, the Barbarian army is less than ten miles away,” Zane Wang quickly reported.
“They’re a bit slow,” Oliver said discontentedly.
Making them wait so long.
“Gather, mount up, prepare to face the enemy,” Oliver ordered, and all the cavalry quickly mounted their horses.
The heavy cavalry had long been prepared, donning their heavy armor and armoring their horses. The heavy cavalry, except for their eyes, were covered in heavy armor.
Swords and spears could hardly harm them unless the enemy used blunt weapons with great force.
“Let’s go meet our enemy,” Oliver led the army to face the incoming threat.
He left the three thousand auxiliary troops to guard the supplies and horses.
After advancing three miles, they saw the Barbarian army approaching with a thunderous roar, the sound of hooves shaking the earth.
Fifty thousand light cavalry charged, creating an immense and imposing scene, with hooves clattering and banners flying.
“Soldiers, the enemy is before us. Do you dare follow me to charge and turn the world upside down?” Oliver shouted.
He was no longer the young man leading a few hundred cavalry against thousands of Huns. Now, he was terrifyingly powerful.
His soldiers were all elite. Why wouldn’t they dare to fight?
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
The soldiers were full of fighting spirit. Facing the imposing Barbarian army, they were not afraid but rather excited.
“Wind!” Oliver shouted.
“Strong wind!”
“Strong wind!”
The soldiers echoed, their morale soaring to the sky.
“Everyone, charge with me!” Oliver raised his silver spear and charged.
“Kill!!”
The soldiers followed closely, charging.
A young man on a white horse with a silver spear, in silver armor and a red robe, exuding a fierce aura.
The heavy cavalry followed Oliver closely, charging straight at the Barbarian army. Felix Wu’s five thousand light cavalry split into two groups, attacking from both sides.
Cavalry charges were the most magnificent scenes in cold weapon warfare.
Both sides’ cavalry galloped, creating an overwhelming momentum, as if they were about to shatter the heavens and earth.
“Rumble!!”
The earth trembled with the sound of hooves.
Yu Han saw Oliver’s forces not fleeing but charging at them, and he was furious.
A mere Innate Great Perfection martial cultivator dared to lead an army to charge at him. It was simply courting death.
“Kill!!” Yu Han roared, targeting Oliver.
