Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 33: Do you understand the value of infantry counterattack against armored cavalry?

Holding the knife in his right hand, with his qi and blood fully bursting out, Mo Hao's strength and speed skyrocketed to a terrifying level.

With one strike of the sword, even a bandit wearing lacquered leather armor would end up with both him and his horse shattered.

Not to mention that for Mo Hao who has a soul furnace, the energy consumed by killing people is far less than the blood and energy replenished after the killing.

Mo Hao even had a guess that even if he was seriously injured and dying one day, he would be able to kill through the characteristics of the soul furnace and thus recover from his injuries.

Soul Furnace, the forbidden magic that created the Undead God of War, Sion, is so powerful in its operation that it optimizes everything for the battlefield and combat.

In fact, Noxus once released the Undead God of War Sion in a rebellious city-state. There was no reinforcement, no logistics, only Sion.

Then, the Undead God of War massacred the entire city-state, leaving no living creature alive.

The murderous aura and evil spirit that erupted from Mo Hao frightened the remaining bandits. His body was like a furnace emitting powerful heat. His blood boiled and wisps of blood mist emanated from his pores.

For some reason, the bandits felt as if they saw a huge white-browed tiger standing up from the sky when they saw the figure in the blood mist.

The second in command was cut in half by a single blow. The remaining bandits were either terrified or angry, and some even charged forward on horseback to kill Mo Hao.

The death of the second in command alone was not enough to scare these armored horse bandits.

Facing the horse bandits charging towards him in groups of three or two, Mo Hao showed a cruel smile like a predator.

"Ha, come on, come on, all of you."

"Let me kill you all!"

With one man and one sword, Mo Hao actually launched a counterattack against the horse bandits. The unarmored infantry counterattacked the armored cavalry. This was an extremely stupid act no matter which battlefield it was on.

"drink!"

"kill!"

With a loud shout, Mo Hao swung his sword and suddenly a murderous aura burst out from his body. In front of the horse bandit's eyes, an illusion of a white-browed tiger waving its sharp claws appeared.

The tiger was an illusion, but the Mo Dao was definitely not.

The evil spirit attached to the Mo Dao increased the power of the attack by nearly half, shocking the bandits.

Ghost Swordsman’s basic skill——[Ghost Slash]!
When the Mo Dao cuts the horse bandits to pieces like a hot knife cutting through butter, and both men and horses are killed once again in front of everyone, people should feel fear and terror.

As Mo Hao's enemy, the horse bandits were more afraid than others because they had to face this evil spirit and violence.

However, [Ghost Slash] was not the end. After the knife was completely chopped down and split a horse bandit in half, Mo Hao turned around and raised the Mo Dao from bottom to top, killing another horse bandit.

Ghost Swordsman's basic skill——[Upward Strike]!
Holding the knife in one hand, he killed two horse bandits in a row with extreme violence, cutting both the man and the horse in half.

Under the huge blade, the lacquered leather armor on the horse bandits seemed to be nothing. After killing two people in a row, the blood mist on Mo Hao's body became thicker.

In one charge, two companions died, and the second in command was also killed with one blow. This made the horse bandits lose the will to fight, and they all looked around, trying to find a way to escape by relying on the horse's power.

But if they want to escape, they need to question not only Mo Hao, but also Su Zhilan.

As the monitor of the elite class of Tianchang Girls' School, her ability is by no means ordinary.

I saw a streak of light passing quickly around the horse bandits, and then I heard the horses neighing in pain, and a bleeding wound appeared on their legs.

It was Su Zhilan. She took off the hairpin on her head and used a spell to control it like a flying sword. The tip of the hairpin was extremely sharp and easily cut the horse's leg. Su Zhilan's words that she could contain four horse bandits or that she could deal with two horse bandits by herself were definitely not false.

She has the strength to say this.

The horse's legs were injured and it could not run. For the horse bandits, this was undoubtedly the most desperate scene.

Without the high mobility brought by the horses, the horse bandits had only one outcome when facing Mo Hao.

A final outcome that cannot be escaped no matter what.

dead!
Without any hesitation, Mo Hao wielded his Mo Dao and killed the bandits. He killed them until they were mentally broken, dropped their weapons, lowered their heads and shouted "surrender". Only then did the murderous soldier bypass him and kill others.

After realizing that surrender could save their lives, the remaining bandits dropped their weapons and shouted to surrender, but even so, not many survived.

It’s not that Mo Hao continued to kill the bandits after they surrendered, but that they surrendered too late. Only three of them were able to shout the word “surrender” alive.

"Watch them."

After leaving these words, Mo Hao rushed towards the back of the convoy with his Mo Dao in hand. The bandits at the back of the convoy had already confronted the students from the three schools.

Mo Hao was worried that some students might be injured or killed, but he was also concerned that the group of students would act too quickly and he would not be able to save many lives.

In fact, Mo Hao's worries were correct. Although the twenty or so bandits were physically strong, how could they be a match for nearly fifty students with strong qi and blood? Not to mention that these students were armed with sharp blades, which were far more lethal than the bandits' sticks and dung forks.

A bandit from the Partridge Village had to deal with two students with strong qi and blood.

When Mo Hao arrived at the rear of the convoy, many students had already lost their lives, and only a few bandits were still struggling to resist.

The reason why they are still alive now is not because the students who besieged them are not strong enough, but because the others have no intention of snatching the prey, and the students who besieged them are thinking about some irrelevant things.

In addition to giving students special training, the Taixu Realm Joint Examination also aims to make them accustomed to killing.

In an era when the world is not peaceful and humans are not at the top of the food chain, every qualified warrior has to adapt to killing.

The students in the elite class are essentially the reserve forces of soldiers.

But even so, it is inevitable that before the killing, students will have all kinds of meaningless thoughts in their minds that Mo Hao thinks are surging.

This is an inevitable flaw for intelligent creatures.

Mo Hao was too lazy to force the students who were still besieging the bandits to execute them. Instead, he had the bandits tied up and after sending the convoy out of the influence of the Partridge Village, he took the group back to Hanyun County.

Hanyun County, government office.

The county magistrate, who was urgently called to the yamen by Mo Hao, looked at the dozen or so suits of lacquered leather armor on the ground. His whole body was trembling and his lips were pale. It was unclear whether he was angry or excited.

"Privately...privately hoarding armor is tantamount to treason. They are committing treason!"

"This county magistrate will immediately report to the court and ask them to send a large army to destroy his Partridge Village..."

The county town under his command; the appearance of so many armors inside was undoubtedly a shocking event for the county magistrate. No matter how this matter was handled, his political career would inevitably be marked with an event: [During his tenure as Hanyun County governor, bandits plotted a rebellion].

To put it bluntly, that means leaving a comment "poor governance" on his resume.
