MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1266 - 244: Challenge

Upon hearing this, the Wolf Rider Master also sneered, "Who says my Wolf Riders are going to eat you up? Our Khan is leading two hundred thousand troops, sweeping away all enemy reinforcements around Hua’an City. Your whereabouts have already been reported to the Khan. My three thousand Wolf Riders only need to tear you apart here. Once my Khan’s two hundred thousand troops arrive, you will undoubtedly meet your doom."

After speaking, the Wolf Rider Master no longer looked at Lu Kang’s expression and turned away.

Upon hearing the opponent’s response, Lu Kang’s face turned grim.

Indeed, with these three thousand Wolf Riders holding them down, they couldn’t possibly maneuver. Once they started moving, they’d definitely be torn apart by the Wolf Riders. At that point, there wouldn’t even be a need for the Khan’s army mentioned by the Wolf Rider Master. The three thousand Wolf Riders could divide and devour them, catching them all in one net!

With a darkened expression, Lu Kang immediately returned to the formation, came before Qin Hong, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Qin, you must immediately lead the Qin Army and retreat along the original route from the back."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hong frowned, "What about you all?"

Lu Kang gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "We can’t escape. Only your Qin Army is mostly equipped with warhorses, which provides the possibility of escape. I will lead the entire army to delay the Wolf Riders’ advance for you. Once you escape, you must quickly seek out a large army or head to the nearest city to report the situation and request reinforcements."

Hearing Lu Kang’s arrangement, Qin Hong immediately shook his head, "No, I won’t abandon you. I won’t agree to exchange your lives for my safety."

"Mr. Qin, if you don’t flee, then we’ll all just sacrifice ourselves here in vain. As long as the Wolf Riders hold onto us, when their army arrives, our thirty thousand men are doomed."

In response, Qin Hong’s expression also turned cold. He asked, "Then let me ask, Marshal, what if we manage to wipe out those three thousand Wolf Riders?"

"Mr. Qin is joking, right?" Lu Kang’s face turned sour, clearly showing how ridiculous he thought Qin Hong’s words were. How could they catch up to those three thousand Wolf Riders and fight them?

However, Qin Hong didn’t answer Lu Kang directly and instead shouted, "Qin Long Guards, mount up and assemble!"

"Understood!"

With Qin Hong’s order given, the three thousand trusted aides immediately mounted their horses, wielding heavy swords, standing solemnly in place.

A soldier also brought a warhorse for Qin Hong, who immediately mounted up and addressed Lu Kang, "Since there’s no escaping, we’ll fight to the death. Today marks the first baptism for my Qin Long Guards!"

"Mr. Qin, you..." Lu Kang wanted to stop him but couldn’t.

"Make way!" Following Qin Hong’s order, a gap opened in the military formation, and the three thousand Qin Long Guards marched out in single file.

Seeing the movements from the Rongtian Domain’s side, the Ghostly Wolf Rider Master also grew curious and approached the front lines, smiling as he saw Qin Hong’s forces lining up, "What? Want to fight to the death with us?"

Qin Hong held his heavy sword, pointing at the Ghostly Wolf Rider Master, and declared, "I am Qin Hong from Photon City, leading my three thousand Qin Long Guards. Do you dare face us in battle!"

"Qin Long Guards? Hahaha, ridiculous, I’ve never heard of you before. Now, even cats and dogs like you have the guts to challenge us Ghostly Wolf Riders?" The Wolf Rider Master sneered, his eyes glinting with a bloodthirsty light, "I accept your challenge, three thousand against three thousand, quite fair!"

Saying this, the corners of the Wolf Rider Master’s mouth cracked open, and a bloodthirsty gleam appeared in his eyes.

"Men, retreat three miles!"

With the order from the Wolf Rider Master, the three thousand Wolf Riders retreated like a tide, not avoiding the fight but merely creating enough distance for a cavalry charge.

Watching the retreating Wolf Riders, Qin Hong shouted to his Qin Army, "The Wolf Riders are about to charge us, are you afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

As the saying goes, an army is raised for a thousand days to be used for an hour. When these soldiers were recruited, they were given ample settlement fees, essentially selling their lives to Qin Hong.

Fortunately, along the way, they’ve also wiped out mountain bandits multiple times, giving these soldiers a baptism of blood. Although it’s their first encounter with these Wolf Riders, they are not afraid.

The reason for their fearlessness is relatively simple—they don’t know the terror of the Wolf Riders. They truly know nothing about the Tianlang Domain or how fearsome the Wolf Riders are. But they know their general, Qin Hong. As long as they closely follow his orders, that’s all they need to be steadfast about!

"Good! Follow my command, take deep breaths, in...out...in...out..." Qin Hong immediately started adjusting the breathing rhythm of all Qin Long Guards.

In contrast, the Wolf Riders had retreated far enough to launch a charge toward the Qin Long Guards.

"In...out..." Qin Hong’s eyes were tightly fixed on the approaching Wolf Riders, then he shouted loudly, "Everyone, release your Fighting Spirit, connect your Qi!"

The next second, the fighting spirit of the three thousand Qin Long Guards was unleashed, crisscrossing and integrating, but unexpectedly, it divided into three sections and didn’t connect all three thousand soldiers into one.

Seeing the Qi connection fail this time, Qin Hong’s eyes flickered. With the Wolf Riders charging, they had one more chance to adjust the Qi connection. If they failed next time, the only option was to fight to the death!

"Everyone, stay calm, breathe again! In...out...in...out...release your Fighting Spirit! Connect the Qi!"

Under Qin Hong’s rapid adjustment, this time, the fighting spirit of the three thousand Qin Long Guards joined together, perfectly connected.

This was the result of accumulated training over time.

With the perfect connection of the three thousand Qin Long Guards’ fighting spirit, a vast force surged into Qin Hong.

Once, Qin Hong would not have been able to harbor so much fighting spirit at once. However, over the past two years, while training his troops, Lu Hong himself has fed him Titan’s Blood, enhancing Qin Hong’s physical capacity and strength.

With the fighting spirit of three thousand soldiers entering his body, Qin Hong no longer felt the pain of having his meridians torn asunder from when he first mastered this Combined Attack Formation. Now, he only felt an infinite strength within, waiting for its release.

In the face of the Wolf Riders, the best way to release this strength was to unleash a Group Attack Skill. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

However, there are not many Group Attack Skills for a Grand Master, only two. One is Mountain Crashing Earth Splitting, which gathers Pure Steel Battle Energy, sacrifices the sharpness of the sword, and uses it as a blunt weapon to strike everything within a thousand meters in front. The other is Sword Blade Storm, releasing Pure Steel Battle Energy externally, forming a storm of sword qi within a certain range and tearing apart everything within its attack range.

Currently, the wolf’s formation is relatively loose, making the Mountain Crashing Earth Splitting attack more priority. In no time, Qin Hong has already formulated his strategy.

At the same time, watching from the rear of the formation, Lu Kang was full of distress. What was Qin Hong thinking? Getting himself killed?

What else can you do! Go down together!

Lu Kang isn’t a loner. He has the Lu Family behind him, meaning that in this Western Border Battlefield, he can die, everyone can die, Qin Hong can die, but Qin Hong can’t die without him dying too. If he dies and Qin Hong doesn’t, the Lu Family might even rise in status in Photon City. But if Qin Hong dies and he doesn’t, the Lu Family and he are basically as good as dead.

"Order all soldiers to be ready to engage and rescue Young Master Qin at any time!"

Watching the approaching Wolf Riders, Qin Hong, too, with his Qin Long Guards, launched a charge. However, they didn’t spread out but gathered together, all soldiers tightly packed, as though forming an iron ball.

Seeing this tactic, the Wolf Rider Master laughed, "Do you think by wrapping yourselves layer by layer, my Wolf Riders have no way to deal with you? Haha, we can peel you off layer by layer! I thought you were some formidable opponents, but you’re just greenhorn fools."

In the Wolf Rider Master’s view, Qin Hong’s tactic was nothing more than imitating infantry’s battlefield strategy, gathering into a group to resist the Wolf Riders’ mobility. But he forgot that the Wolf Riders’ attacks are equally sharp. Of the three thousand riders, how many can actually fight on the outer layer? Less than a thousand. The cavalry inside the iron mass completely lose their combat capability. This tactic, to the Wolf Rider Master, is simply laughable.

"Pass the order, encircle that so-called Qin Long Guard, tighten the encirclement, eradicate them, leave no survivors!"
