Chapter 16: Fighting
"It's so cold!" Wang Lung couldn't help but shiver when he approached the door of the earthen house, and his whole body shivered involuntarily. He hurriedly clasped his hands over his shoulders to keep himself warm and resist the icy cold that kept coming out of the mud house.
It's not just Wang Lung who feels cold, but even leopard print. His body was a little stronger than Wang Lung, but he didn't dare to be careless, and secretly used his skills to protect his body, so as not to be invaded by this bone-chilling qi and hurt his vitality.
"The boss is cultivating the Blue Ice Heavenly Sword Duel, the greater the cold qi, it should mean that the higher he has cultivated. Leopard whispered to Wang Lung what he thought. The reason why he didn't dare to speak loudly was completely because he was worried about disturbing Lin Xuan in the house.
"Yes, I have a hunch that Brother Lin should be about to complete his cultivation and be ready to get out. Wang Lung nodded, and said to Leopard in the same small voice.
"Then let's go out first, I hope that Brother Lin can complete his cultivation before the next attack of the Beast Control Empire. That way we can rest easy. Leopard whispered to Wang Lung.
Wang Lung knew that it was indeed impossible to inform Lin Xuan of the situation outside, and there was no other way than to wait patiently. So he nodded at the leopard print and walked out together.
When he arrived at the underground exit, Wang Lung also carefully told the soldiers guarding the exit to guard carefully, and if Lin Xuyi made any movement, he would immediately report to him.
However, the wish is always so good. Leopard and Wang Lung's luck doesn't seem to be as good this time as last time. Before they could wait for Lin Xuan to appear, they already had to face the second attack of the Beast Control Empire.
The blackface leader of the Zeng Empire was eager for revenge, and after only resting for one night, he immediately led all the ironclad horse knights to attack the two squadrons of Leopard and Wang Long.
He had already counted the number of people, and found that he had lost more than two squadrons of men, and he was so desperate to capture the base of the kamikaze camp at once and kill Wang Lung and Leopard.
So he couldn't wait. Early this morning, before it was dark, he immediately and quickly attacked the base guarded by Wang Lung and Leopard.
In this attack, even if the blackface leader was anxious, he was able to make thorough preparations. He knew that there would definitely be a trap laid by Leopard Print and Wang Lung on the road of yesterday's attack, so he simply stopped taking the main road, but deliberately made a big detour, and specially took the small road to approach the base of the kamikaze camp.
This was indeed a surprise to Leopard and Wang Lung. None of them expected that the seemingly brainless blackface captain would also come to raid.
When Leopard and Wang Lung received the report from the spies, the soldiers led by the blackface leader had already arrived in front of the base on ironclad horses. In desperation, the two had no choice but to mobilize the soldiers of the two squadrons to fight against the water and try their best to kill the enemy.
Even if they didn't have much chance of winning, Leopard and Wang Long had to fight. Because they have no other way to retreat from the enemy in this hurry.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
The sound of rushing and killing was everywhere. Wang Lung and leopard tattoos took the lead, and they rushed to the front very bravely. The soldiers in the back saw that the two squadron leaders were so brave, so they did not have the slightest fear, and they all moved forward bravely.
Although the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion also knew that it would be almost impossible to defeat the five squadrons of the Beast Control Empire with only two squadrons without reinforcements.
Unless a miracle happens, such as Lin Xu's timely appearance at a critical moment, using his powerful cultivation strength and extraordinary special skills to turn the tide, he can save the lives of his brothers in the two squadrons of the Kamikaze Battalion.
Perhaps it was the tragic defeat of yesterday that ignited a raging fire of vengeance among the soldiers of the Beast Control Empire. As soon as they saw their opponents, they immediately rushed over. They had already seen that there were nearly twice as many men and horses on their side as there were other parties, so they had no fear, and with the escort of ironclad horses, they directly rushed into the 31st and 32nd squadrons of the kamikaze camp and carried out very fierce kills.
The black-faced leader saw Wang Lung and Leopard Print rushing to the front at a glance, and remembered that he had been beaten by these two people yesterday, so he immediately flew up from the iron armored horse, and stabbed straight at Wang Lung with the long sword in his hand.
Wang Lung knew that he couldn't go toe-to-toe with the blackface leader, so he immediately deflected his head skillfully. The leopard print next to him immediately came to the rescue, and a mace hit the longsword of the blackface leader.
"Peng!" The leopard-patterned mace and the black-faced leader's long sword actually collided with a large cloud of sparks, stabbing the eyes of the soldiers who were killing fiercely. From this, you can see how great the strength of the leopard print and the blackface leader is.
At the same time, Wang Lung also hurriedly turned back to attack the blackface leader. He knew that if he didn't make a move, then the leopard print might be in danger. After all, the strength of leopard print is far inferior to that of the blackface leader. Only when the two of them cooperate properly can they have the slightest chance of survival.
The black-faced leader just wanted to kill the killer and swing his sword to kill the leopard print, but suddenly found that the iron rod in Wang Lung's hand had smashed down on the top of his head. He had to give up the idea of killing Leopard for a while, and while dodging Wang Lung's iron rod, he turned the sword in his hand and stabbed at Wang Lung.
At this moment, Wang Lung didn't expect the blackface leader to shoot so quickly, and the change was only in an instant. The sword that was supposed to be pierced at the leopard print was already in front of him almost in the blink of an eye.
"Wang Lung, be careful!" Leopard shouted anxiously as he threw his mace at the blackface leader. In this way, he can save Wang Lung's life.
The black-faced leader was also surprised to find that the leopard-print mace was flying towards him. He didn't expect that in order to save Wang Lung, Leopard Print didn't even want the weapon in his hand.
The black-faced leader was shocked, and he had to change the direction of the sword, and hurriedly resisted the leopard-print mace.
Wang Lung finally picked up a life. His life can be said to have been bought back by Leopard with the mace in his hand. However, the black-faced leader was a sword body monk after all, Wang Lung was not stabbed by his sword, but he had been injured by his sword power, and he flew out violently, only feeling a pain in his left shoulder, as if he was about to break his arm.
Wang Lung stretched out his right hand and touched his left arm, and found that his left arm was still there, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, the injury was not serious, and he was still able to hold on.
Huangjiu has been paying attention to the situation on Wang Long and Leopard's side. He found that Wang Lung and Leopard Print were still at a disadvantage when they joined forces to face the blackface leader, so he hurriedly rushed over to support.
"Leopard Print, retreat!" Wang Lung saw that Leopard Print had no weapon in his hand, so with the help of Huangjiu, he attacked the blackface leader while covering Leopard Print's retreat.
The three of them cooperated with each other, quickly retreated, and finally retreated to the base. The black-faced leader was entangled by the soldiers under Leopard Print, and he didn't get out at all, and he had no time to chase down Leopard Print, Wang Lung and others.
The black-faced leader was furious, and swung his sword with all his might, and the sharp sword force slammed into the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion, and several soldiers fell instantly. The black-faced leader obviously hadn't relieved his hatred yet, and continued to wave the long sword in his hand, constantly stabbing at the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion.
It didn't take long for the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion to lose several dozen people. The rest of the survivors can only fight and retreat, temporarily retreat to the base, and fight to hold on. This is the last place where they settle down, and they must not be allowed to be captured by the Beast Control Empire.
Otherwise, the soldiers of the thirty-first and thirty-second squadrons would have no escape, and they might really be killed by the Beast Control Empire.
Leopard Print couldn't help but feel sad and indignant when he saw that half of his soldiers were missing all of a sudden. He even wanted to rush over immediately and fight with the blackface leader. But Wang Lung and Huang Jiu both know one thing clearly, that is, let alone Leopard Print rushing out alone, even if the three of them rush out together to besiege the blackface leader, they have no chance of winning at all. Then it can only be a wasted life.
"Leopard print, don't be impulsive, we only have to live to have a chance to avenge our brothers. If you rush out like this, you won't even have a chance to take revenge. Wang Lung calmly persuaded Leopard Print.
"That's right, Captain Leopard, what Captain Wang said is reasonable, you must hold back. Where there is life, there is hope. Today's enmity, we will remember it for them for the time being. Huangjiu also hurriedly helped Wang Lung persuade the leopard print.
Leopard print, although a bit reckless, is not a brainless person. He listened to Wang Lung and Huangjiu's words, and after thinking about it carefully, he knew that Wang Lung and Huangjiu were indeed right. It was better for him to listen and not to go his own way, lest it lead to more serious consequences.
Now the casualties of the two squadrons have been very heavy, and if Leopard does not know how to advance and retreat, then it is possible that the whole army will be wiped out, and both squadrons will disappear.
The safest place now is the underground base. This was originally the strongest fortress built by Leopard and Wang Lung with their soldiers, specially designed to resist strong enemies. Now it comes in handy.
Leopard and Wang Lung did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered all the remaining soldiers to retreat to the underground base to avoid the crazy attack of the Beast Control Empire for the time being.
In the earthen house, the cold air is deep, forming a mist, and it is scattered in the house, making Lin Xu, who is sitting on the stone platform, look as if he is in a fairyland.
The blue ice sword in Lin Xu's body was already spinning rapidly, emitting more and more energy, and it was already condensing stronger and stronger sword power.
Lin Xu, who had originally clasped his hands together, had already separated his hands. As soon as he grabbed his right hand, he immediately clenched the long sword beside him in his hand. This is not an ordinary long sword, but a first-class guide, which is powerful. Coupled with the Blue Ice Heavenly Sword Duel that Lin Xuan was cultivating now, it was even more powerful, and the lethality could be doubled geometrically.
Lin Xuan swung a sword out of thin air, only to see the sword light flash, like lightning, the heat brought by the strong light and the cold air floating in the air collided together, and it was actually sizzling, exactly the same as the sound made by a piece of red-hot iron when it was put into the cold water.
