Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 981: Chapter 135: Reverse the Grand Game! (Part 2)

At this critical moment of fighting to the death, the powerful spirit and resilience of humans began to take effect. Apart from the Giant Butcher’s War Axe which could dismember the Black Lynx Knights directly, the blows of the dwarves and butchers on the opponents’ premium armor only sparked bright flashes, making it hard to kill them outright.

The temperament of the Black Lynx Knight Order closely resembled Blood Shield Jes Stuart. They are experts in unleashing strength when cornered. Historically, they fiercely defended the Black Volcano Pass even under brutal losses, becoming tougher as they fought, firmly positioning themselves in the line of battle, and eventually, only a few remained, yet they fought on without retreat, defeating the Greenskin besieging them.

Thus, the heavier the casualties in battle, the more tenacious and ruthless the Black Lynx Knights become, akin to a Mountain Cat with nine lives.

However, the dwarves are not comparable to the foolish Greenskins; their commander is well-versed in strategy.

Soon, the dwarves found a way to deal with the Black Lynx Knights. The Giant Butcher roared loudly, ”Don’t engage them in battle, listen to my command, push them down to the river valley!”

”Roar!” With a unified shout, the dwarves took a bold step forward. The Shield Array violently collided with the Black Lynx Knights, forcing their front lines to retreat step by step.

The right bank of Cold Wind Canyon is not spacious, and after being packed with so many elite soldiers, there’s little room to maneuver. Following a fierce fight, the Black Lynx Knights were soon pressed to the riverside.

No matter how Joseph roared angrily, calling for a counterattack, the Mountain Shield Array advanced with unstoppable momentum.

As the Black Lynx Knights teetered on the edge, at risk of falling into the valley, the dwarves’ Giant Butcher gave a wild yell, ”Press on, push all of them into the river valley!”

This was the critical moment to clinch the battle, and the dwarves hesitated not a bit. They ignored exhaustion, mustered their courage, fully activated their bloodline, and charged forward with furious shouts. The crowds behind pressed against their comrades in front; a fierce collision of nearly a hundred people overturned numerous Black Lynx Knights, and dozens of Black Cat Knights struggled desperately as they plunged into the raging Brionne River. A vast wave rose, engulfing all of them in its spray.

The massive success reignited the dwarves’ immense enthusiasm; their morale soared, spirits elated, even without the Giant Butcher’s command. They roared, ”Again! Let these cats know the might of our mountain bloodline, avenge the Rangers!”

”Get down there!”

With a roar, the dwarves raised their shields once more, crashing fiercely towards the front. The damage might not have been deadly, but the tremendous impact made many Black Lynx Knights lose their footing, resulting in yet another chaotic fall of dozens into the river valley.

Joseph’s eyes were already ablaze with anger, watching helplessly as his knights accompanying him fell despairingly, batch after batch, into the riverbed, his furious eyes bulged with frustration, screaming hysterically, ”Damn dwarves, brutishly reckless collisions, come and fight us in a decent battle like real men!”

The only response for him was an immense force. He felt his entire chest hit as if with a Siege Hammer, flipping him backward in a huge impact, sending him plunging into the rushing Brionne River.

Watching as nearly half of the most threatening Black Lynx Knight Order plunged into the turbulent river, half surrounded, Su Li excitedly clenched a fist from atop a small mountain, saying, ”Excellent, first victory achieved, one great enemy down, we are one step closer to defeating the Blue Mirror Territory.”

The saying, ”Injuring ten fingers is not as good as breaking one.” The annihilation of this entire knight order directly reduces their available army by a regiment. The following battles are bound to be more favorable to the forces of Hesse Territory.

But beside Su Li, Hilude frowned slightly, saying, ”Lord, something seems amiss.”

Su Li’s heart tightened instantly, as if a heavy stone had settled. He knew well that Hilude is not one to dampen the mood. Even when he speaks nonsense, she cooperates tacitly, providing significant emotional value.

In such a crucial moment, as the Divine Chosen of the Fiery Sun Goddess, she must have noticed something important to be so cautious.

Su Li immediately asked, ”What did you find?”

Hilude pointed to the Right Bank Camp atop the cliff, saying, ”That camp is still under contention. Bear in mind the air cavalry we dispatched there. Generally, our Champion Knights and elite troop sizes surpass the opponent far more. That’s why we could effortlessly push the Black Lynx Knight Order into the river; Joseph’s absolute strength is far inferior to ours, so his defeat is expected. But as the order most proficient in mountain fighting, and the greatest reinforcement for the hilltop guards, with nearly half defeated by us, they persist. The battle atop the cliff hasn’t stopped, that’s clearly abnormal.”

Come to think of it, this is indeed somewhat unusual.

Su Li gazed at the far battlefield still charged with tension, furrowing his brow, saying, ”Indeed, those who become nobles in the Border Prince’s Territory aren’t simple-minded. They’re not easily defeated.”

Almost as Su Li’s words fell, dramatic changes occurred on the calm surface of the Brionne River!
