March 3rd, the earth awakens, ice and snow melt, and flowers, grass, and trees begin to rejuvenate.
In Anxi County, Cameron Guo, who had successfully broken through to the Grandmaster realm, was in high spirits, always wearing a smile on his face.
“General, Miss Yuan has come to bring you food again,” Mason Zhao reported with a smile as he found Cameron.
“Yuan is here!” Cameron’s face lit up with joy.
“Watch over the troops’ training. I’ll be right back,” Cameron instructed Mason.
“Go ahead, General!” Mason nodded with a smile.
Cameron left the troops to Mason and hurried out of the barracks.
Mason Zhao was one of the three Innate Assistant Generals under Cameron Guo.
Now, Cameron commanded ten thousand heavily armored Wei Wu Troops, all fully equipped, and each soldier was at least a Martial Artist.
At the barracks’ entrance, Cameron saw a young woman in a light yellow dress.
She stood gracefully, with an air of delicate beauty.
“Yuan!” Cameron waved happily as he walked over.
Seeing Cameron in his heavy armor, Yuan’s eyes sparkled. The armor made Cameron look exceptionally heroic, his hair tied up, and his face with a hint of stubble, giving him a steady and mature appearance.
“Let me see, what delicious food did you bring me today?” Cameron asked with a smile.
“I made ginseng chicken soup for you. I heard from the old doctor that ginseng chicken soup can replenish blood and energy, which is essential for martial artists like you who consume a lot of energy,” Yuan said earnestly.
Cameron looked at this silly girl. In the barracks, even a casual meal of beast meat would replenish more energy than ginseng chicken soup. But he didn’t say anything; how could he hurt this silly girl’s good intentions?
At almost forty, it was a blessing for him to find someone he liked.
“Quick, taste it and see if it’s good,” Yuan said with a sweet smile.
“Anything made by you is delicious,” Cameron replied with a smile.
If Wesley Hu saw this, his jaw would drop. Was this the same rough and tough guy he knew?
Anxi County had become increasingly prosperous thanks to the opening of the Western Regions trade route and the presence of the distillery. Since Oliver Sheng broke through to the Martial Saint realm, those who secretly eyed the distillery had all disappeared.
The distillery and the craftsman’s workshop had expanded several times over. With ten thousand heavily armored Wei Wu Troops guarding the area, no one dared to cause trouble.
One day, scouts roaming the grasslands discovered a large force of Huns heading aggressively towards Anxi County.
“Quick, report back! The Huns are attacking!”
The scouts swiftly returned to report.
Following Oliver Sheng’s cautious approach, Cameron Guo often sent scouts to monitor the Huns on the grasslands to prevent surprise attacks.
“General, scouts report a large force of Hun cavalry heading towards Anxi City,” Mason Zhao reported urgently.
“The Huns are attacking?” Cameron was initially pleased but then said, “Quickly notify the city to prepare for defense. Send someone to River West City to inform the prince and prepare the army for battle.”
“Yes, General!” Mason Zhao saluted.
“Do we know how many Huns are coming?”
“According to the scouts, the Hun army should be no less than fifty thousand cavalry.”
“Fifty thousand, not too many!” Cameron breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, Oliver Sheng in River West City received two pieces of intelligence.
The Hun army was gathering and heading straight for River West City.
Anxi City had also detected the Hun army.
Oliver quickly summoned his subordinates.
“Take a look at these two pieces of intelligence,” Oliver said, handing the reports to his subordinates.
After reading, Wesley Hu and the others were visibly excited.
“These Hun wolves are attacking us before we even set out to attack them,” Felix Wu said.
“Can old Cameron hold off fifty thousand Hun cavalry?” Wesley Hu’s eyes showed a hint of worry.
Anxi City was their fallback. If it was cut off by the Huns, they would be trapped on the grasslands.
“General, give the order. Our blades are already itching for battle,” Sawyer Shangguan said eagerly.
They had just broken through to the Grandmaster realm and were eager to test their strength.
“Wesley, take your unit to Anxi City to assist Cameron Guo,” Oliver ordered.
“Yes, General!”
Wesley immediately got up to gather his troops and set off for Anxi City.
“The rest of you, assemble the army and come with me to meet the Hun forces.”
“Notify Finn Chen to inform the merchants to be on guard against the Hun army.”
“Yes, General!”
Felix Wu, Sawyer Shangguan, and Harrison Zhou got up to assemble the troops.
The news of the Hun attack startled countless merchant caravans, who quickly retreated into the city, not daring to continue their journey.
In Anxi City, the Hun army soon arrived at the city gates.
The Hun army outside the city, with their warhorses neighing and battle flags flying, exuded a murderous aura.
Anxi City, already prepared, had closed its gates.
Looking at the tall city walls, the Hun general Tu Xiuhe’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
Once he broke into the city, he would order a massacre to avenge his brother.
Last year, his brother led Tu Xiuhe’s troops to follow Left Wise King Jackson Hun on an expedition, only to be annihilated by the River West Army. This blood debt must be repaid.
Cameron Guo looked at the fifty thousand Hun troops outside the city with a serious expression.
Behind him stood Mason Zhao, Feng Xian, and Li Fei, three Innate Assistant Generals.
“General, the enemy has more experts than we do,” Feng Xian said.
Among the fifty thousand Hun troops outside, there was one Grandmaster and eight Innate experts.
“Afraid of them? Just fight!” Li Fei said boldly.
“No rush. Let’s first wear down the Hun forces. I’ve already sent a message to the prince, and reinforcements are on the way,” Cameron said calmly.
“Mason Zhao, lead a thousand soldiers to defend against the Hun attack.”
“Yes, General!”
Outside the city, the Hun army rested for half an hour before launching their attack.
“Siege troops, take the walls! Archers, fire a volley!” Tu Xiuhe ordered.
On the city walls, a thousand heavily armored Wei Wu Troops, clad in heavy armor and wielding unfamiliar sabers, stood like iron giants.
Thousands of arrows rained down on the city walls, but the thick armor rendered ordinary arrows useless.
Arrows clinked off the iron armor with a metallic sound.
The Hun siege troops, the sacrificial soldiers, began setting up siege ladders and grappling hooks under the cover of the arrow rain, starting to climb the walls.
A Hun soldier climbed up the wall, delighted to see no resistance from the defenders. Just as he was about to climb over, a wide unfamiliar saber slashed down.
“Slash!”
Blood splattered, and a head flew off, the headless body falling back down.
The unfamiliar saber, designed to cut through horses, made slicing through people effortless.
On the city walls, saber lights flashed, and heads flew, headless bodies falling and knocking down other climbing Huns.
Anyone who climbed the wall was met with the terrifying unfamiliar sabers.
Heads flew, and not a single soldier could climb over. Tu Xiuhe frowned.
The defending soldiers seemed exceptionally strong.
“General, our soldiers can’t get over the walls,” a subordinate said.
“No matter, let’s test their strength first,” Tu Xiuhe said indifferently.
The siege troops were just cannon fodder to wear down the enemy. Their deaths were inconsequential.
The siege lasted only half a day before the Huns retreated two miles with over six thousand corpses.
In the evening, Wesley Hu entered Anxi City with two personal guards.
“Old Cameron!”
Cameron Guo, looking at a map, heard the familiar voice and looked up, eyes lighting up.
“Old Wesley, I knew the General would send you.”
“Haha, missed me?” Wesley laughed.
“Get lost, who missed you? Disgusting!” Cameron said disdainfully.
“Good old Cameron, already moved on,” Wesley joked.
“Enough joking. Where are your troops? There are fifty thousand Huns outside, one Grandmaster, and eight Innate experts. I’m planning to kill them all,” Cameron said.
“My troops are hidden five miles away on the grasslands. I came into the city first to discuss the battle plan with you,” Wesley said seriously.
“How strong are your ten thousand cavalry?” Cameron asked.
“Not weaker than your troops, with two Innate Assistant Generals and all soldiers above Martial Artist level.”
“Hah, I have three Innate Assistant Generals!” Cameron said proudly.
“The only concern is the strength of that Hun Grandmaster,” Wesley said, wary of the Hun Grandmaster.
Though both were now Grandmasters, they had just broken through and couldn’t match an experienced Grandmaster.
“No worries. We just need to hold off the Grandmaster. Our troops can handle the rest,” Cameron said.
“So what’s the plan for tomorrow?”
“My heavily armored infantry will face the Hun cavalry head-on. Your troops will find the right moment to charge from behind and annihilate the Hun soldiers. Without soldiers, the Grandmaster will retreat,” Cameron said.
“Alright, I’ll lead my troops to charge from behind tomorrow.”
After agreeing on the battle plan, Wesley quietly left the city.
The next morning, Cameron led his ten thousand heavily armored Wei Wu Troops out of the city and formed a battle line outside.
Seeing this, Tu Xiuhe couldn’t help but laugh.
He pointed at the Wei Wu Troops and laughed, “Look, the Wei soldiers have come out. Do they want to fight our Hun cavalry head-on?”
“Hahaha, infantry forming a battle line against us. Their general must be mad.”
“General, let’s attack. I can’t wait to crush them.”
“The Wei women in the city, so tender and delicate, it’s been a while since I tasted that.”
The Hun generals laughed cruelly.
“Warriors, kill the Wei soldiers, and we’ll have three days of unrestricted slaughter in the city!” Tu Xiuhe shouted.
Hearing this, the Hun soldiers’ eyes lit up.
“Kill!!”
Tu Xiuhe led the army in a full charge.
“Kill…”
The earth-shaking battle cries and the thunderous sound of hooves made the ground seem to crack.
Cameron Guo, clad in heavy armor, stood at the front, wielding a saber weighing hundreds of pounds.
His troops stood silently behind him, their eyes filled with eagerness as they watched the charging Hun cavalry.
These Wei Wu Troops, stationed in River West, had longed for a battle to prove themselves.
Cameron raised his saber and shouted.
“Wind!!”
“Wind!”
“Wind!”
“Great Wind!!”
Ten thousand Wei Wu Troops shouted, their blood boiling, their battle spirit soaring, showing no fear, only eagerness.
Boom!!
Cameron leaped, slashing at Tu Xiuhe.
“Good!” Tu Xiuhe also leaped, swinging his battle saber at Cameron.
The two generals clashed in mid-air, sabers colliding, sparks flying.
The powerful force sent Cameron flying, his arms numb from the impact.
Indeed, an experienced Grandmaster was formidable.
“Slash!!”
Seeing the charging Hun cavalry, Mason Zhao shouted.
The ten thousand Wei Wu Troops swung their unfamiliar sabers at the charging cavalry.
The fierce Hun cavalry smiled cruelly.
But the next moment, their smiles froze.
The fierce sabers slashed, the wind howling.
Clang!
The sound of breaking sabers, blood splattering, horses and riders cut in half.
In the first clash, the Hun cavalry and horses fell.
The fierce cavalry couldn’t break through the infantry.
The Huns saw for the first time what it meant to be a forest of sabers.
The Wei Wu Troops swung their sabers, cutting horses and riders in half.
In an instant, thousands of cavalry and horses lay dead, the bloody battlefield terrifying the following Hun cavalry.
Such terrifying soldiers and weapons, they had never seen before.
“Kill!!”
The ten thousand heavily armored Wei Wu Troops shouted, their killing intent soaring, scaring the Hun warhorses into neighing in fear.
The imagined scene of cavalry crushing infantry and slaughtering at will was just a fantasy for the Hun cavalry.
They faced Oliver Sheng’s elite Wei Wu Troops!
Unbeatable in infantry combat!
In the first clash, they lost thousands of cavalry, terrifying the charging Huns.
“Damn it, how are their infantry so strong?” a Hun Innate general said in fear.
“Keep charging, no stopping! Anyone who stops will be executed!” another Innate general shouted.
At this point, there was no turning back.
