A lion would use its full strength to hunt even a rabbit. Gao Shang did not dare to underestimate the Tongluo Cavalry.
“Okay!”
The Khitan King immediately agreed to Gao Shang’s request, and he turned to a Khitan general at his side.
“Pass on my order! Mobilize the Sun Rider Tribe’s Sunchaser Cavalry!”
The Khitan Tribe was divided into eight divisions, and the Sun Rider Tribe was the most elite division. As for the Sunchaser Cavalry, it was the Sun Rider Tribe’s cream of the crop. There were around seven thousand of them, each one carefully selected. They were also the cavalry the Khitan King had selected to be his royal guard.
Rumble!
As the Khitan King gave his order, a howling snowstorm came out from behind the army, and in the middle of this army, amidst the clattering of armor, a baleful energy shook the heavens.
Neigh!
In a flash of light, the snowy mist parted, and a man more than eight feet tall rode out, appearing like a fiendish god wearing heavy armor and a cape of beast fur on his shoulders.
That man’s eyes swept over his surroundings. A moment later, whoosh! All of the surrounding Khitan cavalry drew away in fright.
In the distance, the cavalry of the other countries were also frightened, and looked away.
The northeast was a region in which numerous factions interacted. Besides the Great Tang, the countries also fought with each other.
The majority of those who were able to survive this sort of battlefield, who had been tempered in blood and fire, were elites.
But this Khitan force was different. ‘Fierce’ was no longer enough to describe them. In their eyes, one could see a bestial energy, as if they were looking for their next prey.
This was an extremely bloodthirsty, crazed, and dangerous force.
Thudthudthud!
Behind this leading Khitan horseman, even more Khitan cavalry emerged, all of them wearing the same kind of armor and all of them eight feet tall.
Whoosh!
The surrounding soldiers grew even more disorderly at the sight of these cavalry.
“Out of the way! Hurry! It’s the Sun Rider Tribe!” the surrounding soldiers yelled as they backed away.
Among the eight divisions of the Khitan Tribe, the Sun Rider Tribe was even more renowned than the Golden Wolf Army. It wasn’t because of their fighting strength, but because they would really eat people on the battlefield.
In the eyes of the countries of the northeast, each member of the Sunchaser Cavalry was a living devil!
“Heheheh!”
The leader of the Sunchaser Cavalry looked at the reactions from the surrounding soldier and disdainfully smiled, revealing his white teeth.
“Though I’ve eaten so many horsemen, I’ve truly never tasted the flesh of the Great Tang’s Tongluo Cavalry. Such strong soldiers should taste rather good!”
The leader of the Sunchaser Cavalry savagely laughed. Turning away from the surrounding horsemen, he looked across the battlefield at the Tongluo Cavalry that were tearing through his allies.
The Sunchaser Cavalry had an obsession with conquering strong opponents, and not even the Khitan King had been able to control it.
“Hyah!”
The Sunchaser Cavalry leader suddenly spurred his horse into a gallop and shot forward like a cannonball.
As if this was some kind of starting signal—
Boom!
The seven thousand Sunchaser Cavalry rode out like savage devils, approaching the battlefield with inconceivable speed.
As An Lushan observed this intense battle, his eyes gleamed. Finally relaxing a little, he sent a stream of Psychic Energy to Gao Shang.
“Tell Tian Qianzhen that it’s about time for him to move out!”
After a moment of hesitation, Gao Shang nodded. “Mm!”
The reputation of the Tongluo Cavalry was simply too great. The Golden Wolf Army and the Sunchaser Cavalry still might not be enough to suppress them. Tian Qianzhen was already at the front, and if he joined his forces to the others, the chances of success would be much greater.
Gao Shang quickly made a gesture, and an order was sent to the front. Tian Qianzhen immediately led out his tens of thousands of Dark Shadow soldiers in a charge at the Tongluo Cavalry.
Rumble! The entire battlefield shuddered.
As these three armies moved out, Yeon Gaesomun turned and whispered to a Goguryeon general at his side, “Pass on my order! Have the Golden Crow Division prepare to move out!”
The mention of the ‘Golden Crow Division’ made the general shiver, but he swiftly lowered his head and bowed.
“Yes!”
He swiftly turned to leave.
The three-legged Golden Crow!
