Just as desperate as the mercenary guards were a dozen or so merchants.

They thought that with dozens of mercenaries and hundreds of guards, they would be able to repel the horse thieves even if they actually encountered them, but the cruel reality destroyed everyone's illusions in an instant.

Two or three hundred horse thieves, all of them cavalry! The merchants were all like the end was coming, some of them ran desperately towards the forest, some of them just sat on the ground with dull eyes, and some knelt down and prayed to the beast god.

As the ironclad cavalry rushed across the Boundary River, the horse thieves on the left and right sides and behind rushed over, splashing on the river with a heart-palpitating breaking sound.

The tactics of the horse thieves are very clear, they use the heavily armed ironclad cavalry as the main force to attack the defense line of the mercenary guards, and the ordinary cavalry behind is responsible for covering the pursuit and pursuit, so that they can achieve the goal of annihilating the merchant group escort force with minimal casualties.

The excited howl of the horse thieves has become a nightmare for everyone in the merchant group at this moment, and if no miracle happens, they will all be buried here tonight!

And will miracles happen?

Woo!~ Suddenly, there was a loud horn sound from the mountains and forests not far away.

It was the battle horn, and it was like a bolt of lightning that suddenly pierced the dark night and brought light to those who were caught in the darkness!

"Thunderbeast Battle Camp!"

A wild and rough voice resounded like thunder in the sky!

"Kill!"

Countless blood-pumping roars and shouts erupted!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Hundreds of crossbow arrows swept over the heads of the mercenary guards, forming a rain of arrows towards the horse thieves.

Almost at the same moment, a series of sturdy figures appeared behind the mercenaries.

The rain of arrows fell, and the horse thieves who were crossing the river seemed to have been hit head-on by a sledgehammer, and they fell down in unison, screaming one after another!

These crossbow arrows with triangular armor-piercing arrows are all fired from standard military heavy crossbows, which can penetrate metal armor within a hundred steps, and the thin leather armor of horse thieves is not vulnerable to attack at all, as long as the person who is shot is either killed or injured!

The red blood stained the clear river water in an instant.

Whether it was a horse thief or a member of the merchant group, no one expected that at this critical moment, Sal Ling's famous thunder beast battle camp would appear here.

"The Thunder Beast Camp, it's the Thunder Beast Camp of Sal Territory, we have been saved!"

The mercenary guards and merchants were ecstatic, and the excitement of dying in a desperate situation caused almost everyone to let out a cry of excitement.

A businessman who had just escaped a dozen steps collapsed to the ground with his legs limp, tears streaming down his fat face - a miracle had really happened!

The ironclad cavalry, who were the first to rush ashore and were about to make a final charge, were all taken aback.

This sudden variable overwhelmed them, and dozens of feathered arrows flew over, and suddenly people turned on their backs and were shot down several times.

"Rush forward!"

The knight in the lead shouted angrily.

Although he didn't know why the Thunder Beast Battle Camp was here, there was no other way but to charge to the death at this point!

"Throw guns!"

A roar ruthlessly shattered his illusions.

A volley of pike guns flew into the air, weaving a dense net of death in the air, enveloping the ironclad cavalry!

The cavalrymen did not even have time to raise their shields.

When they charged at the merchants, they were not prepared to defend themselves, because their bows and arrows could not penetrate their armor.

Now, these ironclad cavalrymen will pay the heaviest price for their arrogance!

A red-fledged pike struck a knight head-on, the metal tip tearing through his armor mercilessly, through his torso and peeking through his back.

The powerful penetrating force made his whole person fly backwards and slammed into the body of a cavalryman behind him, and the person had already swallowed his last breath before he landed.

The tragic death of this knight is only a microcosm of the final fate of the entire ironclad cavalry team.

Under the baptism of hundreds of pike guns, the cavalry and the horses under their crotches were cut down like wheat stubble.

The mournful neighing of the horses and the mournful wails of the riders echoed and circled on both sides of the Boundary River, as if they were a death concerto from hell.

But that's just the beginning!

In the night sky, the clouds suddenly changed, dark red clouds condensed and rolled, and huge fireballs fell from the sky and fell on the heads of the horse thieves!

Rumble!

A ball of molten fireball struck a hapless horse thief, killing him and his horse to slag at the same time.

More fireballs landed in the middle of the bandits, and the splatters of fire slurry were like a spreading plague, harvesting more lives.

Many of the thieves who had been lit fell from their horses screaming, and they threw themselves into the river to extinguish the flames, but the feathered arrows and crossbow arrows that followed left them in utter despair.

"Magician, it's magician!"

The fire-range magic meteor rain was powerful enough to break the hearts of horse thieves, and the glow of the flames illuminated a large area and clearly pointed out the enemy's position to the crossbowmen of the thunderbeast camp.

In just the blink of an eye, the originally fierce horse thieves were crushed, and before they could even see their real opponent clearly, they were shot and killed on the boundary river by waves of arrows and shuttle guns.

On the west bank of the Boundary River, the leader knight jumped from the carcass of his horse in disarray, his red eyes full of the madness of the trapped beast.

As the leader of the horse thief group, and the knight who rushed to the front, he was hit by more than a dozen shuttle guns, and he relied on the soul armor of the body to resist.

However, his war horse did not have such ability, and was pierced by two pike spears and fell to the ground.

Seeing the companions around him being killed one by one by the shuttle guns and crossbow arrows, and hearing the desperate screams of his subordinates, the remorse in the heart of the leading knight is really difficult to describe in words.

If it's not so careless, if it's not so light, if it's not in a hurry to do it ... If, unfortunately no if!

He raised his battle axe in the air, let out a beastly howl, and a man launched a charge against a formidable opponent in front of him.

The distance of dozens of paces seemed to the chief knight to be thousands of miles away, and one after another shuttle spears were continuously thrown and bombarded him, and each impact was so fierce and powerful.

These spears could not immediately penetrate his soul armor, but they were rapidly weakening the strength of the soul armor's defenses.

A samurai with soul armor is not invincible to ordinary warriors, and being able to withstand the projection of a few dozen shuttle guns does not mean that he can carry a hundred and a thousand.

The chief knight knew full well that he was charging on a path to death, but he did not hesitate in the slightest, because only in this way could he defend the last vestiges of his honor as a knight.

In the face of the volley of shuttle guns, the knight rushed forward for more than thirty steps, and he didn't know how many shuttle guns he had carried during the projection.

The body protector soul armor couldn't help but fluctuate, and the light became more and more dim.

Many of the mercenary guards in front of them were shocked by his crazy momentum and couldn't help but retreat.

Poof!

A feathered arrow glowing pale teal shot out of the darkness and struck him in the chest.

The soul armor, which had been weakened to the extreme, broke in response, and the arrow pierced through, breaking through the hard breastplate like a bamboo, and penetrating deep into the chest until there was no feather!

The knight's sturdy body shook, and a cloud of blood suddenly burst open in his back, a characteristic of the power contained in the arrow's body that exploded within his body.

This arrow took away almost all the knight's strength.

But he didn't stop, his eyes widened in anger, and the tomahawk he held high slowly fell, and his steps became heavier and heavier.

The pike stopped firing, and the leader knight, who was in a trance, saw a samurai walking towards him.

That resolute face seemed somewhat familiar.

"It's you, you've returned to Salling, Lord Leon!"

The chief knight laughed miserably, his guts battered, and every step forward burned the last vitality of his life.

"And you, Concordia, my friend!"

Concordia quietly appeared at Leon's side, the wolf knight's face was pale, and the eyes of the chief knight were full of regret.

"You're Odson!"

"It's me—" The leader knight could no longer move forward, he held the tomahawk in his right hand and supported himself on the ground, raising his left hand to lift his visor.

A pale face was revealed, blood spilling from his mouth, and only the flame of life in his eyes was still burning slightly.

"Odson!" Concordia couldn't help but strode forward to help him.

The knight was one of Concordia's few friends, and it was thanks to Oldson's help that Concordia was banished by the power of the Collinworth seal.

"Boss—" Concordia turned his head to Leon with a pleading look, he couldn't bear to see his friend die here.

"I can't do it, Concordia, for the sake of our past friendships, please give me a knightly honorary death!" Odson grabbed Concordia's arm stiffly, "Take care of my family!"

Leon couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed secretly - such a knight should not have died in such a dishonorable battle.

His injuries were so serious that Leon was powerless even if he wanted to save him.

"Please!"

Concordia's lips trembled, and she pulled the dagger from her waist with a fierce heart.

He closed his eyes, two hot tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, his arm slammed into the gap between Odson's breastplate from the bottom to the top, and pierced into the heart!

"As long as I am here, I will never let your family suffer a little grievance!"

"Thank you!" Oddson smiled with satisfaction as his eyes darkened as he slid limply to the ground.

Behind him, hundreds of Thunder Beast warriors roared and rushed into the Boundary River to unleash the final slaughter of the remaining horse thieves!
