Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 240 Breaking Through the Fourth Order

"Outward fighting spirit..."

The knight raised his head to look at Leon, the dark red blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, nostrils and ears, and his eyes flashed with despair. 【】

puff

As soon as the knight finished speaking, a feathered arrow wrapped in light blue light pierced his throat, opening a bloody hole in his neck

With much unwillingness and remorse, the haughty knight knelt down in front of Leon, like a surrendered defeated soldier, but the breath of life had left him forever.

Leon took a deep breath, and part of the swelling power in his body was released with the bombardment of the thunder and fire fists. The vigorous soul power circulated endlessly, soaking every inch of skin, muscles and bones, bringing an indescribable sense of pleasure. .

This feeling, as if the whole world has been trampled under his feet.

Level [-], Soul Blade Warrior

At the critical moment, under the pressure of a powerful opponent, with the help of violent power, Leon successfully broke through the barrier of the three-pole peak, broke through and promoted to the fourth-level soul blade warrior

Originally, the berserk skill was not so powerful, but before that, Leon had reached the peak of the third pole, which was only a thin line away from the fourth level, and it was the first time he used the berserk skill, and the potential in his body was forced out. It was amazing, breaking through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.

The promotion from the third pole to the fourth level is a comprehensive improvement. In addition to the increase in strength, defense and perception ability, the fourth-level soul blade warrior can blast the soul power or elemental power out of the body and attack the enemy within a certain distance. .

Just now he used thunder and fire fists to destroy the armor of the black-armored warrior three feet away, which is exactly the strength of the soul blade warrior, exactly the same as the "outward fighting spirit" that only silver-level knights have.

The soul blade warrior can also condense the unique blade light, even with bare hands, it has the killing ability of a magic weapon, and its combat power is several times stronger than that of the three extreme mad soul warriors, and it has truly entered the ranks of high-level warriors.

Although the joy and joy of being promoted filled his heart, Leon did not forget that he was still on the battlefield, and the barbarian army was still attacking the city wall.

He stepped forward, picked up the heavy sword dropped by the knight from the ground, and swung the sword to chop off the head and hold it in his hand.

"Beamon must win"

Leon's roar rolled over the battlefield like thunder. He stood on the city wall, holding the sword in his right hand and holding up the head of the enemy general in his left hand. Flames swirled all over his body, majestic as if the god of war was reborn.

"Must Win"

Hundreds of Thunder Beast warriors roared in unison, their morale suddenly soared, and they worked together to completely suppress the momentum of the barbarian attack.

When dawn came, the barbarian army, which had been fighting fiercely for a while, began to retreat.

Under the walls of Baishi City, they left countless corpses, and the supreme commander was killed. It is very rare to be able to persist until now.

"Victory"

The soldiers guarding the city wall cheered. Leon did not order to pursue the retreating enemy army, because the casualties of the Thunder Beast soldiers were not small, and he himself fell into a weak state after the berserk.

Although the time of being weak has been greatly shortened due to being promoted to the fourth level, he still doesn't have the ability to lead the soldiers to hunt down thousands of enemy troops.

Defending Baishi City is the most important enemy retreating towards the eastern coastline defense line, Leon's dark eyes flashed a divine light.

"Calculate the losses, clean up the battlefield, and deliver news to the battle group"

The earliest news had already been sent out when the barbarians arrived. I believe that the third war regiment will definitely send troops to support them after receiving the news. After all, they are not far from Baishi City.

However, Leon believed that the barbarians could not be unprepared for this, so Leon specially reminded Earl Octavia to be careful of the possible ambushes of the barbarians against the reinforcements in the message delivered by the green falcon.

boom

The ground was trembling slightly, the lion-wing battle flag appeared on the northern horizon, and hundreds of cavalry were rushing forward

When the barbarian army was withdrawing, the reinforcements of the third battle regiment finally arrived

There was a smile on Leon's lips.

The follow-up battle did not completely end until noon. Three thousand elite Beamon cavalry from afar launched a fierce pursuit of the retreating barbarian army, beheaded thousands of enemies, and finally drove the remaining enemies out of the sea .

Just as Leon expected, the barbarians sneaked into the rear with the help of human battleships from the sea, trying to attack the rear of the third battle group after the capture of White Rock City, so as to relieve the crisis in Valen City.

But their strategy did not succeed, and the [-] landing troops were almost wiped out.

After counting the incident, in the battle of Baishi City, the Thunder Beast Brigade wiped out more than 700 barbarian warriors, and the results achieved by the Mongolian cavalry were even more brilliant.

However, this victory did not come without a price. 120 five Thunder Beast fighters fell forever on the city wall they defended, and more than 50 fighters were seriously injured and disabled. After receiving medical treatment, they could not stay in the team.

After the first battle, the Thunder Beast Brigade lost more than one-fifth of its strength, including a group of veterans who followed Leon through life and death.

Their loss undoubtedly cast a thick dark color on the dazzling halo of victory of the Thunder Beast Squadron.

Although Leon, who has experienced life and death, has long faded away from life and death, his heart is still sad when he sees those familiar faces never showing smiles again.

For the first time, he felt a little tired of the ceaseless war.

Three days later, a scepter priest arrived in White Rock City under the escort of a team of temple knights, accompanied by count Octavia and other important members of the third war regiment.

The priest brought Leon the kingdom's reward.

Due to the outstanding performance of the Thunder Beast Squadron in the war, the kingdom decided to grant Leon the title of hereditary viscount and a territory adjacent to Thrall, and at the same time grant the title of lord to Rock Hammer and other four warriors, and another 50 gold coins rewards.

Such a reward is not an exaggeration for Leon's achievements. To be honest, it is not an exaggeration to give him the title of Earl.

As the direct leader of the Ultralisk Brigade, the third battle group and Count Octavia have also received generous rewards. In addition to the credit for regaining the city of Valencia, Count Octavia is likely to participate in the expedition. After the end, he was promoted to Marquis.

Two days ago, the third battle group and the two battle groups of the extreme northern garrison captured the city of Valen, which was running out of food, and wiped out the barbarian army in the city.

However, behind this reward order, there was also an order from the Kingdom Garrison that the Thunder Beast Squadron should leave the territory of the third war regiment to rest in order to deal with the threat from the southern elves.

That is to say, from the moment they received this order, the just-started expedition has nothing to do with Leon and the Thunder Beasts.

they can go home

Hearing this order, Leon breathed a sigh of relief. If the fight continues like this, I really don't know how many Thunder Beast fighters will be able to return to Thrall in the end.

It's just that Earl Octavia's mood is a bit complicated. He is very happy with the kingdom's reward. The investment in Leon and the Thunder Beast Squad has achieved rich returns, and the departure of the Thunder Beast Squad also makes him a little depressed .

Losing such an elite team capable of conquering and fighting is undoubtedly a great loss for the third battle group.

When parting, he patted Leon on the shoulder, wanted to say something but couldn't say it in the end.

And the scepter priest did not leave immediately after completing his task, but instead interviewed Leon in private.

"Baron Leon, do you know why the kingdom asked you to return to Thrall?".

This scepter priest from the Bingfeng City Temple in the Far North Province is a fox descendant. He is thin and white-haired. When he smiles, his face is full of wrinkles. He looks like an amiable little old man.

But Leon will definitely not underestimate the other party because of this. It is almost impossible for the scepter priest of the provincial temple to stand in this position without sufficient strength and connections.

Why go back to Thrall?Leon was surprised, but kept his expression on the surface: "Master Ke De, isn't this a reward from the kingdom?".

It's not a bad thing to get away before the real war comes, and not have to fight the brutal barbarians on the harsh ice field.

The scepter priest smiled, with an inexplicable meaning in his smile: "If only it were that simple..."

"Baron Leon, you have made great contributions. In the decades of war between the Kingdom and the barbarians in the extreme north, there has never been a brigade-level army that has made such great contributions. Destroying materials at the enemy port, destroying three war puppets, and repelling ten times the enemy troops in the bloody battle at Baishi City... Just take out any one and it can easily overwhelm the other teams."

Leon's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that it's not good to say that the credit is great?"

"In the history of the kingdom, there are not no noble warriors with outstanding military exploits..." Priest Kod said, "Your achievements are dazzling, and you should have been set up by the kingdom as a model of war heroes, but it is precisely because you are a nobleman supported by our temple. , the Kingdom will not allow a temple noble to become Beamon's hero"

The factional struggles Leon suddenly understood completely. To put it bluntly, he was too much in the limelight, which aroused the attention and anxiety of the kingdom's high-level officials. It was entirely possible that he was worried that the temple would make a big fuss about him.

Leon knew very well that the temple had given him a lot of important help from the establishment of Thrall to the present, and he had already been branded with the brand of the temple department, and he couldn't wash it off even if he tried to wash it off.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the high-level officials of the Kingdom have appropriately suppressed him.

"In fact, it is also the decision made by the High Priest Farnese to let you return to the Thrall Territory. This is for your protection." Priest Ke De continued: "Continue to stay in the expeditionary army, for you and the soldiers under your command There is no benefit at all, and there may be danger."

"I understand..." Leon nodded and exhaled a foul breath, but the anger in his heart was surging.
