Even though the Mongolian cavaliers’ retreat had been intercepted, they still continued charging forward like lightning and barrelled through all the obstacles in their way. Not only did they not show any signs of shrinking back, they went straight toward the general who was protected by a group of guards.

On their way, the Mongolian cavaliers cut down the infantry beside them as if they were just cutting through fruits and vegetables. Every cavalier was stained with blood, and they looked so fierce that they caused people to tremble in their boots.

The few people who charged into the formation with Happy clearly had extraordinary judgment, and they had the same idea as Happy—all of them wanted to attack only when the Mongolian cavaliers arrived in front of the general and the group of guards.

The army had nearly ten thousand infantrymen, but they could not form any effective counterattack against the Mongolian cavaliers at all. However, to Happy and the group who charged forward with him, they could tell with just one glance that the group of guards beside the general not only had great equipment, there were dozens of them, and all of them were captains. Their strength was above ordinary soldiers!

When the Mongolian cavaliers arrived in front of them, their charge will be at its weakest.

It was the wisest to attack at that moment.

However, not everyone was able to see this clearly during the chaos.

There were a few rash people who stepped on the soldiers’ helmets and flew over with boundless enthusiasm.

But there was no way there will be no one who will “take care” of them if they appeared in such a flashy manner, and the cavaliers at the back were frustrated as well because they did not have enough enemies to be treated as target practice.

When they were less than 328 feet away from the Mongolian cavaliers, the Mongolian cavaliers who charged forward furiously suddenly threw a few hatchets forward, and there was even the sound of bow strings being pulled and released.

Bang!

They were caught off guard, and two people had their chests reduced to b.l.o.o.d.y ribbons on the spot. They screamed in pain and fell into the group of soldiers, and two other people were also shot down from the air. The number of arrows on them made them look like hedgehogs.

There was a similarity among the four people’s landing spot—all of them fell on a land of sharp and black spear tips that shone with a chilling light.

Thud! Thud!

Four corpses were flung into the Chinese army with sharp longspears still attached in their bodies.

The players were stunned silent. Happy and the others saw the tragic fate of those players ahead of them. Some of them snorted, and some showed grave expressions on their faces.

The damage in the Mongolian cavaliers’ hatchets was incredible. Their body fortifications absolutely could not withstand it, and even their equipment was destroyed straight away.

A few people on the spot sucked in sharp breaths. They hastily changed their direction in the air and left the frontlines.

The only people remaining were one boy and girl.

The boy held a black gold longsword with incredibly high durability. He was nimble, and his gaze was resolute. The girl was further away from Happy, and he still could not see her clearly. But she had no weapons in her hands, making her look a little odd.

When Happy noticed those two, the boy and girl were also sizing him up in secret!

After all, there were quite a lot of people who wore a set of fourth-echelon equipment like Happy, but there were only a handful of people who dared wear a Bamboo Hat to hide their faces in a battlefield that could determine his life and death in an instant.

Even though there were people who liked to pretend to be mysterious or wanted to attract others’ attention by wearing that Bamboo Hat, the fact did not change that the thin white veil will definitely cause a certain degree of interference to its user during a fight. Besides, the feeling of the white feeling touching the face and the sound it produced will also affect the players’ vision and hearing. Wearing a Bamboo Hat in this sort of dangerous battle was the same as suicide.

But forget about the fact that he wore a Bamboo Hat, he actually came to the battlefield with just his fists. This person just made himself look even more unfathomable by doing so.

To them, this person was either an extremely good player or an incredibly stupid person.

Both the boy and girl looked away very quickly.

The horse hooves thundered against the ground, and the cries for murder came at their faces like a wave. The Mongolian cavaliers finally arrived near the general who was surrounded by his guards.

*****

A large group of soldiers around the guards might have spontaneously formed a defense line, but at the moment the cavaliers rushed over to them, they were still soon cut down. While they screamed in pain, their defense line was torn down.

The group of guards could even see the Mongolian cavaliers’ brutal and fierce faces as well as their savage smiles.

“HAHA! It’s a general!”

“Catch him alive! Kill the rest!”

The two people in front of the cavalier unit quickly decided on their mission.

The Mongolian cavaliers behind them quickly agreed to the orders.

Hatchets and arrows flew in the air!

The hatchets and arrows that shot out from behind the cavalier unit threw the guards protecting the general into chaos. The few guards who stood in front of the general to protect him did not manage to react in time, and they were cut down on the spot.

Thud!

The other guards were beheaded by the Mongolian cavaliers who rushed at them from the side. Their blood gushed into the air.

“Leader Li, protect the general!”

“Others, follow me!”

The group of guards did indeed have extraordinary skills. When they saw how urgent the situation was, they bent their backs and knocked against their enemies.

More than ten Mongolian cavaliers heard their cavaliers neigh pitiably. They bent down, and they crashed against the ground along with their horses!

Chilling light came charging at them and cut into their throats viciously, and those dozen or so Mongolian cavaliers were killed immediately.

Those dozen or so guards moved nimbly, and their attacks were ruthless. They did not stop for even a moment and continued rus.h.i.+ng at the Mongolian cavaliers, swiftly creating a certain degree of chaos. Since the beginning of their charge, the Mongolian cavaliers’ charge was finally blocked, but only by a little.

However, when the Mongolian cavaliers reacted to this, they seized the chance when the guards were beheading the Mongolian cavaliers they cut down to throw their hatchets.

Thud! Thud!

Those dozen or so guards had their chests destroyed by hatchets right when they had just begun to show their worth, and they crashed violently against the ground, and this scene served as one of the many epitomes of war.

But even though Happy was slightly shocked about the combat prowess in the general’s guards, he still did not want to miss such a good opportunity to join the battle.

Whoos.h.!.+

Without any hesitation, Happy rushed over.

At the moment his feet landed on the ground, a guard who had his arm severed by a hatchet and had not completely died seized the hem of Happy’s pants.

If Happy had not activated Nine Yang Divine Skill and noticed that the guard under his feet did not harbor any ill will to him, he will definitely not allow the guard to seize his trousers while remaining so cordial about it.

The part where the guard’s arm was severed was a ghastly sight. His face was pale, and b.l.o.o.d.y bubbles foamed at his mouth. He looked like he was almost near death’s door.

But while he struggled to speak, Happy managed to hear the meaning behind his fragmented words.

“…Young swordsman… please… protect… the general…”

His grip around Happy’s pants relaxed. The guard breathed his last with his eyes still open.

The system notification arrived.

“Ding!

“Triggered a quest. You are entrusted a mission by the dead guard to protect the general!

“If the general does not die and is not captured alive by the Mongolian cavaliers, you will be considered to have completed the quest, and you will receive an extra one thousand points. If the general dies, the quest will fail, and as punishment, you will have one thousand points removed from your current acc.u.mulated points.”

Happy was stunned silent.

The notification at the back caused Happy to instantly retreat when he was just about to charge at the Mongolian cavaliers.

Through his spiritual senses, Happy noticed that there were only a handful of guards left beside the general. A group of Mongolian cavaliers had already surrounded them, and the people inside looked like trapped beasts fighting to live.

Happy could no longer care about cursing the guard who was absolutely dead. He gritted his teeth and tapped against the ground to avoid a hatchet that flew at him before he charged to where the general was. His heart burned with anxiety.

‘I don’t care what sort of general you are, don’t die!’

One thousand points might not be a lot, but at that moment, he could afford to lose any points.
