Chapter 501: The Battle of Barreto (Part I)

Northern Wilderness, Barreto Valley.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the gaps in the lead clouds in the sky, like a huge sword of light, slanted between the rolling hills. The eastern side of the valley was reflected in golden patches by lightsabers, but on the western side was a dark shadow.

The sky darkened as the fierce north winds poured into the valley, and the shadows of the mountains and forests on the west side spread eastward like a tide, about to drown out the dappled light.

Countless human warriors and half-human, half-horse monsters weave their way between light and darkness.

The centaur is tall and muscular, with a lower body similar to a large horse, but the forefoot has four toes that are easy to grasp and climb, the tail is thick and long like a flexible and powerful snake tail, and the upper body is close to the muscular and powerful human, but the facial features are flat and ugly, and the ears are horns that spiral downward, like a devil coming out of hell.

They form groups of charges, sweeping back and forth through the valley, trampling opponents or their kind who dare to stand in their way. The centaurs threw them away with a fierce bolt of arrows and a roar of laughter, and then took their great bows, drew their heavy spears, turned back, and shot their spears at the panicked enemies, pinning them to the ground.

The sound of hooves shook the sky, arrows and spears rained down, and the centaurs charging in clusters were unstoppable!

If you can't stop it, you won't block it, and if you can't catch up, you won't chase it!

Dressed in lightweight, nimble thick leather armor, the human warrior held a hardwood shield wrapped in steel and a sharp, fine-iron scimitar, and his eyes shone with a bloody red light. They formed a tight tortoiseshell formation, shields interlocking, to resist the overwhelming rain of arrows and spears. Every time the centaur fired two throwing spears, the warriors quickly spread out to the wings, beckoning the alien beasts roaming around the periphery to move closer to them. The heavily armored knight stayed put, picking up a thick obsidian and throwing spears at the centaur cluster. The centaurs roared, and the knights unleashed their adamantite decapitation swords and gathered around the high-ranking knights. The surging centaurs crashed into an impregnable reef, and the team split in two, leaving behind a trail of blood and dying wailing companions. The human soldiers on both wings took advantage of the centaur charge and used their scimitars to pull out terrifying wounds in their flanks. The powerful and ferocious Hippriff, Horned Wolf, and Moon Bear accompany the heavily armed knight in pursuit of the tail of the centaur cluster, tearing them to shreds until his master whistles.

An extraordinarily large moon bear could not suppress its bloodthirsty killing instinct, and its four-meter-long body stood up, and its giant palm slammed a centaur into two twisted pieces, ignoring the wails and neighing of its prey, and pounced on it to bite its flesh and blood. A long arrow shot at it, piercing the iron armor of the moon bear's shoulder, digging deep into its flesh. The furious Moon Bear dropped its prey and charged at the centaur that had injured it.

The centaur ran on his legs, turning his upper body and shooting with a giant bow, leading the particularly powerful beast towards the hillside. The moon bear ran at an astonishing speed, and it was about to be caught up by it, the centaur showed amazing vigor, the left front paw firmly buckled the rock, with the help of inertia, the nearly 1,200-pound body with the left front leg as the fulcrum, half vacated in place and turned around, skillfully dodging the swing of the moon bear war beast, and then, its strong hind hooves stepped on the ground hard, and in an instant, the four-toed forefoot pressed the moon bear's head, pressing the rampaging giant beast to the ground, and the metal spear in his hand stabbed down the momentum, piercing the bear eye into the head.

The Moon Bear War Beast didn't snort and was killed on the spot. The fierce centaur warrior stepped on the hill-like corpse of a bear, and let out a series of strange laughs triumphantly, declaring his victory. It was on the hillside, jumping nimbly, condescendingly shooting the human warriors below the valley with its giant bow.

Centaur marksmen, elite warriors of the Blackhoof tribe, they do not charge with the team, but move freely from hundreds of meters away, sniping enemies with precision.

The centaur marksman uses a giant bow to shoot 1.3-meter-long arrows that are as powerful as a crossbow that can easily pierce through armor and shields, and almost every shot is pierced by a human warrior. Soon a dozen people fell under its bow, and its strange laughter continued. Suddenly, it was alarmed, and decisively discarded the giant bow, and removed two crude and hideous but heavy maces from its waist, and swept directly towards the shadow on the left without thinking about it.

"Ugly monster, die!"

A figure flashed through the gap of the mace, and the waist of the ferocious man's immediate half of the body instantly bloomed with bright red and bewitching flowers, and before it could scream, the fine iron flail that shone with platinum brilliance was like a living monster python, swinging high and directly shattering its head.

Flesh and bones fell, and a man turned and dashed, quickly sinking into the dense woods. The paladin leather armor on his body was stained with red blood, and five silver stripes could be faintly seen on his shoulders, and the flail in his hand shook slightly, and after the white-gold luster gradually faded, it was spotless.

The Church's adjudicating warriors and paladins specialize in hunting the centaur marksmen of the Blackhoof tribe under the cover of the woods and shrubs.

The ruling warrior was too active, killing 6 centaur marksmen in a row, and finally caught the attention of the centaur powerhouse.

He had just emerged from the low woods, and a spear was thrown through the air, and the tail of the spear dragged a white wave of air, silent, faster than the sound!

Silver-tiered Blackhoof Centaur Commander!

The pupils of the ruling warrior instantly shrank into the tip of a needle, and white-gold holy light poured out from his body, forming a group of white-gold runes on the surface of the leather armor, and the ordinary hard-skin armor became divine and dazzling. Struggling to dodge to the left, the Centaur Commander's metal spear pierced through the Sacred Armor's blessed leather armor and peeked out from behind, leaving a hole the size of a bowl in his right chest, but it failed to hit him directly in the heart.

The Judgment Samurai used the Holy Jujutsu and Holy Armor to avoid the fatal blow and was not knocked to the ground by the spear with terrifying kinetic energy, but the heat caused by the spear rubbing against the air almost scorched half of his right lung. The injuries were severe enough to incapacitate the bronze knight, but he sprang into the woods as if nothing was wrong. Through the hollow in the right chest of the ruling samurai, it can be seen that it is covered with a white-gold glow, which stops the blood from flowing out and constantly repairs the wound.

This is a sacred healing technique that can temporarily suppress injuries and pain. As long as the ruling warrior can hide in the woods, he can seek treatment from the high-ranking priest. Unfortunately, the Blackhoof Commander didn't give him a chance to escape.

Another terrifying spear flew from a few hundred meters away, blinking behind the Ruling Samurai. In his despair, a golden shield of glowing light stood between him and the spear, and the powerful centaur spear bounced into the air along the shield's slope, leaving only a string of air-tearing whistlings.

A paladin wrapped in Mithril armor held the Judgment Warrior with one hand, and unleashed a white-gold holy light that enveloped the Judgment Warrior's body, and his charred wound overflowed blood again and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the brown-furred centaur commander saw this, he turned around and ran down the slope. A blue streamer shot out of the grove like blue lightning, piercing the centaur leader's back, and the razor-sharp void wind elemental turbulence raged through its body, slicing its internal organs into a pile of pieces. Blood mixed with internal organs spurted out of the mouth and nose of the silver-tier centaur leader, and he ran forward for more than two hundred meters, and finally fell to the ground, convulsing weakly.

The shield-wielding paladin helped the ruling warrior who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth into the woods, first nodded to the paladin holding the Mithril war bow, and then smiled at the ruling knight: "Weigler, you have to be careful, Patriarch Friedus has only one son left." ”

"All glory be to the Lord...... I want revenge for my brothers and sisters...... Kill all those brutes!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk, the senior priest will heal you. ”

The paladin led the Judgment Samurai to a man-made clearing. A high-ranking priest dressed in dragon lizard skin armor and hanging a mace from his waist took the badly wounded Weigler, but instead of using magic to heal him, he took out the regeneration potion and sprinkled it on his wound.

In this way, Lord Friedus's only son can only lie down obediently, and no longer have to participate in the subsequent battle.

A middle-aged knight withdrew his gaze from Weigler's body and said to a handsome knight with rare blue hair, "Freret, the effect of the blood boiling potion is almost over...... It's time for us to play. ”

With black hair, amber eyes, and the emblem of the Griffinx on his Mithril armor, this middle-aged knight is the heir to the Iron Mountain royal family and the most likely golden knight to set foot in the legendary realm today, Ussain Barcelius.

Duke Estov Moonbear of the Duchy of Teutonia echoed: "Your Majesty, our warriors are running out of support...... I'm asking to lead the team!"

Although the human warriors were the elite of the Sarsanid Empire, and there were a large number of apprentice knights and paladins, they were still far behind the black-hoofed centaur warriors who were tall and strong, and came and went like the wind. Once the effect of the Boiling Blood Elixir wears off, the elite soldiers of the Sassan Empire will fall into a state of exhaustion. Without the cover of the soldiers, the number of casualties among the Cadet Knights and Paladins skyrockets.

Neither the Sassan Empire nor the Templars could afford such losses!

Faced with such a sinister situation, Emperor Sasang's expression was solemn, and only one sentence was squeezed out between his teeth:

"Wait for Grand Master Tystiel to shoot the first arrow!"

Testiel was also waiting, the Mithril warbow was drawn into a full moon, and the purple light flashed with arrows pointed at the centaur Great Khan three hundred meters away. He was accompanied by another golden paladin with a bow and arrow. The two highnesses of the Testier family firmly locked on the same target, but they did not trigger it.

They were waiting for the First Paladin of the Church to perform a Demon-Breaking Attack and smash the Earth Armor from the Great Khan of the Centaurs.

Orogar didn't care about the two little bugs, although their arrows were extremely sharp, but it could avoid them by moving its neck, and it didn't matter if it hit its body. Mother Earth has given it a tough body that draws strength from its four hooves to the earth.

The most annoying thing is this little bug in front of me...... Maybe it's an ogre lord disguised as a small bug?

Orogar didn't understand why this bald human could suddenly become as tall and burly as the ogre lord, and his fists smashed against his indestructible body could shake its muscles and bones, and suddenly become as small as a goblin, dodging his own indestructible iron rod?

A metal-clad fist flooded Orogal's vision, slamming it into the stomach, causing it to weaken its knees and nearly fall to its knees, only to get back on its feet as the power of the earth poured into its body.

Again, again, it got bigger again, almost taller than me...... Hold on a little longer, and I'll lead the warriors out of the encirclement before this monster grows bigger and stronger enough to send me into the air...... The orange-yellow centaur Great Khan danced the two maces so impermeable that the air was smashed into a paste and whimpered. However, Orogar has given up on the idea of chasing the bald monster and is purely on the defensive.

It's useless to pursue, it can't hit the bald monster, but instead makes it smaller, and can break through the mace to deal a harder blow to itself.

These are delusions!

Tournans's forehead, face, armor, fist gloves, and combat boots all showed intricate and sacred platinum runes, and the heroic arts, sacred barriers, deflections, resurrections, and blessings performed by the priest Friedus five hundred meters away blessed his body, causing him to leap and fly freely, and inflict countless heavy blows on the Centaur Great Khan. But Turnans did not exert all his strength, nor did he inflict effective damage on Orogal's body.

In fact, Turnans only needed to use the Holy Warrior's sixth-level divine skill to break the evil attack, and he could kill Orogal with two punches...... Or, be killed by it.

Like Orogal, a deeply ferocious centaur who has awakened the top bloodline talent is able to exert the ability to transcend the limit in the face of death, even if Turnans is fully exerted.

He didn't come to die with Orogar.

The clash between Tournans and Orogar involves both body and mind. Each blow Turnans inflicted on Orogar weakened its will to fight, distorting its senses and instincts, breeding the idea of being unable to resist Turnans, and losing faith in its own bloodline talent.

When the legendary centaur turns and runs away, that's when it's killed!

In order to create these conditions, the Knights of Radiance and the elite alliance of the Sassan Empire let go of the main force of the Blackhoof tribe, forcing Orogar to lead the Centaur warriors to break off. The High Paladins and High Battle Priests of the Radiant Knights enclose an area on the flesh-and-blood battlefield for Turnans and Orogar to face each other head-on.

In order to keep Orogar, the Golden Knights of the Sarsan Empire hid in the woods, and the high-end combat power of the Radiant Knights was pinned, and the Imperial Knights and Templars withstood the frenzied attack of the Blackhoof Centaur Guard. Turnans only needs to be hit once by Orogal, and the hope of survival is extremely slim.

If Turnans dies in battle, if the human army collapses, the Knights of Radiance and the Sassan Empire can only use their lives to break through the legendary Centaur Earth Armor and kill Orogar. I don't know how many high-ranking knights and high-ranking clergy will die under the counterattack of the legendary centaurs.

Even if it wins, it will be a miserable victory...... Both sides danced on the tip of their knives, and luckily Turnans had the rhythm of the battle.

The legendary paladin accurately grasps the physical and mental state of the centaur Great Khan through the touch of the heart, its combat instincts are weakened, its perception is distorted, and its seemingly powerful swings are all flawed!

Orogal received another blow to the stomach, and instead of anger, it panicked: the bald monster was clearly in the front, how did it hit me in the stomach? Who was hitting me?

Orogal's mace swept backhand, tearing the air, forming a vortex of air, but it was empty, and when it looked back, the bald monster was gone!

The steady breathing finally became heavy, as if a dozen blacksmiths were pulling bellows, and a huge crack appeared in Orogal's heart, which was immediately filled with the thought of escaping. It suddenly saw the disappearing bald monster appear beside it, like a giant standing up to the sky, looking down at its own small self, and then stretched out a fist bigger than the camp tent and smashed it down!

A circle of white-gold runes appeared in Turnans's Adamantite Fist Gauntlet, and he quickly crossed the fist glove with a sacred white-gold - Evil Breaking Strike! A sixth-level divine technique that specializes in cutting off the elemental connection and has the effect of concussion armor piercing of the Holy Sword Technique!

The orange-yellow centaur Great Khan was knocked back to his original form by the Evil Breaker, and his body returned to a flesh and blood state...... Now is the time!

The blood-red holy crystal held by Friedus in his left hand pointed at Orogar, and a red rune appeared, and a spiritual wave pierced into the brain of the centaur Great Khan, and his right hand flicked twice, and the arrows of the two tempest paladins ignited with white-gold flames.

Chaos Spell! Holy Fire Spell!

Two dark blue arrows shot out and shot straight at the head and heart of the legendary centaur.

In a life-or-death situation, Orogar was freed from the psychic influence exerted by Tournans, but Friedus's chaos caused it to inevitably go into a trance, and its neck turned, avoiding the sharp arrow to the head like an unpredictable prophet, but its chest was pierced by the arrow of Grand Master Testiel.

The wind elemental from the Elemental Sea was like substance, fiercely and mercilessly raging through Orogar's body, chopping up all the internal organs of its upper body, and the white-gold flame scorched its flesh and blood, making it impossible for its upper body to absorb the power of the earth. In the woods, the Golden Knight of the Sassan Empire led his guards to rush to the battlefield, wielding his long sword and reaping the lives of the Blackhoof Centaurs with impunity.

Orogar turned his head, his red eyes staring at the bald monster that was rapidly disappearing but growing larger.

It turned out that he didn't get smaller, and he didn't get bigger...... Damn it, hateful bald monster!

The ground cracked at the feet of the legendary centaur, and an earthy yellow shockwave chased after Tournans. The paladin had expected it, tiptoeing a little, avoiding the centaur's dying counterattack. The shock wave quickly dissipated, leaving a straight furrow in the ground.

Unable to maintain the horse's Earth Armor, the wind elemental came out of its body, slicing wounds one after another, and blood gushed out, staining its body red.

"May your flesh and blood also be devoured by Mother Earth!"

Orogar lay in a pool of blood, cursing in Centaur language.

Grand Master Testiel flew over, his long sword flashed, cutting off the body and head of the Black Hoof Great Khan, carrying its horns, and said lightly:

"Your head and fur are still useful, it would be a shame to be burned by the Holy Fire. ”
