A string of messages immediately began to pour through Wang Chong's mind. 600, 800, 1000, 2000… in a few short moments, Wang Chong had obtained a tremendous sum of Destiny Energy, and the number was still rising. In this clash of elite cavalry, Wang Chong would receive 30 Destiny Energy for each Celestial Wolf Cavalry killed.
After a stalemate, the time for harvest had finally begun, the Skanda Halo and the Cutting Formation now proving their worth. Shamask had been heavily injured, and the Celestial Wolf Cavalry's formation had been broken. Without the power of their formation, the Celestial Wolf Cavalry suffered a drop in all their attributes: speed, strength, and even dexterity.
At this level of strength, the Celestial Wolf Cavalry were simply no match for the Wushang Cavalry and were immediately routed, suffering a large number of losses.
Swooshswooshswoosh! The Wushang Cavalry fully utilized their efficiency and teamwork, bolstered in their pursuit by the Halo of Dusk Stallion. Their peerlessly sharp Wootz Steel swords slashed every which way, and blood glimmered in the sunlight as one Celestial Wolf cavalryman after another fell to them.
At the very front of the Celestial Wolf Cavalry, a figure had his body pressed against his horse, his arms drooping down as he fled like a panicked wolf: Shamask. His face was pale, his eyes suffused with a deep fear. If one looked carefully, one would discover that under the attacks of the Skanda-strengthened Li Siye and the collective charge of the Wushang Cavalry, Shamask had dropped down from the Brigadier General level all the way to the Imperial Martial realm, down to Tier 7, even beneath Li Siye.
It was easy to see how badly Shamask had been wounded.
Never in Shamask's life had he suffered such a devastating defeat!
He had not been defeated by just Li Siye, or Kong Zi-an, Hong Youqi, or any of the others. He had been defeated by five thousand people, something he would have never dared to think possible in the past.
He did not dare to look back. That he had been able to escape with his life was only because his reaction had been fast. Taking the backlash, he had decided to end the Celestial Wolf Ghost Dragon Art early. In his current situation, if Li Siye and the others caught up and gave him another wave of blows, Shamask would be doomed.
”Impossible, impossible! How could such a formation exist in this world…”
Shamask was panicked and nervous. That flurry of blows had utterly shattered his confidence!
The strange tactic of those five thousand cavalry made Shamask feel like he was living a nightmare.
But Shamask's shock and dismay at the grievous defeat of the Celestial Wolf Cavalry were far outmatched by another person. Although he had not taken part in this battle, his honor and reputation had been on the line, as had that of the entire Western Turkic Khaganate!
”Bastard!”
On the high hill, Duwu Sili was dumbstruck, his entire body quivering in rage. The Celestial Wolf Cavalry was one of the three strongest forces of cavalry in the Western Turkic Khaganate. It had never been defeated before, and Duwu Sili had never believed that his troops could lose to the Great Tang.
”Shamask! You useless thing, you couldn't even kill a trifling Imperial Martial warrior!”
Duwu Sili clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with rage.
”Chekun Benba! Go and tell Shamask that if he can't defeat the Wushang Cavalry, he shouldn't come back,” Duwu Sili coldly ordered.
”Yes, General!”
With Duwu Sili's words, a Turkic general at Tier 6 of the Saint Martial realm mounted his horse and took off in a cloud of dust toward the battlefield.
Huoshu Huicang and Dusong Mangpoje couldn't help but shoot Duwu Sili a glance, a tinge of astonishment in their eyes. The Celestial Wolf Cavalry had suffered a major defeat and Shamask was seriously wounded. The two had believed that Duwu Sili would either personally enter the battlefield or would at least call the Celestial Wolf Cavalry back. They hadn't expected Duwu Sili to instead order the Celestial Wolf Cavalry to fight to the death.
The pair finally felt the tough and stubborn side of the Western Turkic Celestial Wolf Great General. They also understood how he had been able to dominate the steppe, rarely suffering defeat in his battles.
Only Dalun Ruozan was unperturbed. Long before they had begun working together, Dalun Ruozan had engaged in a thorough investigation of Duwu Sili, and he knew that only this Duwu Sili was the authentic one.
”Great Minister! Should we order Huoba Sangye…”
