Imperial Crown.

Chapter 92: The Power of the "Sand King"

Just as Eugene judged.

The panicked pack horses didn't know who their owners were. The Eagle Army could use them, and so could the horse thieves.

Doing so is equivalent to eliminating the terrain advantage that the Eagle Army has painstakingly built up. Although the horse bandits have also lost their speed and mobility, their advantages in numbers and individual soldier quality can be reflected.

Under the protection of twelve scorpion guards, Helaiti watched everything that happened on the battlefield with cold eyes.

From beginning to end, his eyes never left Eric.

A second-level Iron Knight could be considered a strong man even on the Bloody Highlands, and was capable of forming a well-known bandit unit.

Whether it was killing Jose yesterday despite being outnumbered, or delaying his offensive with the help of the packhorse wall today, Eric's performance far exceeded Heleti's expectations.

So Heleti is still waiting, waiting for Eric's next move.

On what basis did he dare to fight with me here? On what basis did he dare to fight with me here!?
As Eugene's orders were carried out, the bandits dismounted and began to infiltrate the walls of Tuoma City.

This immediately put tremendous pressure on the Eagle Army.

Even though the Eagle Army worked well together in groups of three, the horse thieves were also skilled in martial arts and well-equipped!
The number of people is far greater than that of the current Eagle Army!

The screams and groans in the Tuoma City Wall became more frequent, the smell of blood became increasingly strong, and the spilled blood condensed into blood-colored mist in the cold air.

Large patches of scarlet spread out under the walls made of packhorses, like a thriving and ostentatious bunch of flowers growing at a speed that makes people's scalps tingle.

Death is its nourishment, blood is its veins, and the corpses of humans or horses constitute the stamens.

The Eagle Army's resistance was extremely tenacious.

Although the tragic situation of the vanguard troops was horrific, it also aroused the morale and anger of the remaining soldiers. They wanted to avenge their comrades and survive in this cruel and cold land!

Although they lost the terrain advantage, they still maintained a very high exchange rate due to tacit cooperation.

The spearmen block the enemy, the crossbowmen injure the enemy, and the sword and shield soldiers protect the spearmen and crossbowmen.

No matter how brave a person is, unless he is extraordinary, he will not be able to take advantage of precise coordination.

However, even so, the battle line inevitably began to shrink inward.

"Hu, hu..." Gore kept gasping for breath, and the smell of blood almost blocked his throat.

But his movements were still sharp. He raised his shield to deflect the oncoming attack. The enchanted half sword in his hand flashed a blue light, and the blade swept across the cheek of the horse thief in front of him, cutting off most of his head.

Blood spurted out like a fountain, and the headless corpse with only half of its jaw remaining fell to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, three spears and two long swords came towards him. Gore took the opportunity to roll backwards and suddenly felt that his vision was much wider.

In the blink of an eye, it turned out that he had rolled out of the packhorse wall and returned to the center of the army.

He wasn't the first to come back here.

The remaining Eagle Army soldiers were pushed away from the Tuoma City Wall and tried desperately to recapture the wall. The pioneers who had just returned to the formation, as long as they were still able to move, had already picked up their weapons and joined the battle again.

Some horse thieves had already climbed onto their horses and were shooting towards the formation with the horse bows they carried with them.

"Eagle Army, push them back!" Gao Er roared, kicked over a horse thief who had just sneaked in, and swung his sword to cut off the horse thief's thigh.

Just as the horse thieves were screaming and roaring, two more people came in from below!
"Go to hell!" Gore kicked a scimitar that had fallen to the ground towards the horse thief on his left, then swung his sword at the one on his right.

The horse thief on the left had a scimitar stabbed in the throat and was struggling in vain on the ground with his hands around his neck.

But the horse thief on the right suddenly raised his left wrist, a layer of shining fighting spirit covered it, and with a clang, he blocked Gore's attack.

Bright fighting spirit! ?
Although he knew that the attribute of strength had nothing to do with good or evil, seeing the bright fighting spirit appear on a horse thief still made Gao Er feel stunned for a moment.

The next moment, the horse thief stretched out his right hand, and a short sword wrapped in bright fighting spirit swept towards Goyle's ankle.

The horse thief showed a sinister smile on his face, and he almost saw the soldier in front of him wailing on the ground after he cut off his ankle.

suddenly!

A long sword wrapped in green fighting spirit flew through the air and nailed his forearm firmly to the ground.

The horse thief opened his mouth and let out a cry of pain, but before he could close it, the enchanted half sword stabbed into his throat and came out from the back of his head!
As the sticky blood flowed, Goyle drew out his weapon, pulled out the long sword stuck in the man's arm and handed it to the side.

Simon took it and neither of them spoke, silently preparing to continue fighting.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, and prepared to engage in the next battle in silence.

At this moment, Goyle's pupils suddenly shrank, and he pointed at the horse's back not far away: "Simon, get him down!"

Simon turned his head and took a breath of cold air.

A horse thief rode on the back of a packhorse, drawing his bow and arrow, aiming at none other than Eric, who was riding motionlessly on the horse in the center!
The storm of fighting spirit was aroused, wrapping around the sword in his hand, and Simon used the same trick again and threw it out fiercely.

however

That's too late!

The bow retracted from the full moon, and the kinetic energy was transferred from the bowstring to the arrow. The arrow flew through the air, and the arrow body rotated to break through the barrier of the air and landed on Eric.

Ding.

This attack failed to penetrate the enchanted plate armor, but the sound was clearly audible.

The arrow and the person who shot it fell to the ground almost at the same time.

Gore and Simon's expressions changed immediately.

Got it!

Everyone knew that Eric was the commander of the Eagle Army, and any horse thief would want to take his head and gain the credit for the battle.

Where there is the first, there is the second and the third.

Arrows flew off the bowstrings and shot towards Eric. The force of these arrows was not enough to penetrate Eric's heavy armor, but it was enough to show a fact:
The Eagle Army has exhausted all its means and has no other response.

Heleti was also clearly aware of this. He curled his lips into a sneer and put down his visor.

"charge!"

Twelve Scorpion Guards lined up in a row and launched a charge under the leadership of Helaiti!

The sound of horse hooves immediately attracted the attention of the horse thieves. When they saw the knight in bright yellow armor breaking through the dust, they immediately became excited.

"Lord Sand King personally led the charge!"

"Look at them, they are Scorpion Guards!!"

“We’re definitely going to win!!!”

The shouts made the faces of the Eagle Army soldiers turn paler.

They were already overwhelmed with the situation, and the arrival of King Helaiti put them under unparalleled pressure!
"Simon, go help somewhere else, I'm going to protect Captain Eric!" Gore ordered immediately.

Now that Heleti has made a move, his target can only be Eric. The advantage of level three versus level two is self-evident.

Now all the morale of the Eagle Army depends on Eric alone. If he dies at this time, the entire Eagle Army will inevitably be destroyed!

Simon also knew the consequences. He picked up a machete on the ground and followed Goyle: "I'll go too!"

Gao Er's voice was solemn and serious: "No, my earth fighting spirit can still defend, you only have storm fighting spirit, you can't stand it at all!"

Simon wanted to argue: "But..."

There was no time to continue arguing here. Goyle emphasized his tone and his voice was unshakable: "Simon!!"

"Obey orders!!!"

Hearing this, Simon remained silent and no longer insisted. He just saluted Goyle silently.

At this time, the Scorpion Guards lined up with Helaiti as the center.

In the midst of the wind and snow, it was like a silver scimitar sweeping across the ground!
But the sharp blade of the scimitar slowly slowed down, and only the bright yellow figure suddenly accelerated.

The spear that was held horizontally was then held upside down, dragging on the ground, leaving a line of swirling yellow sand.

This gun is called "Sandstorm" and is golden in color. It was made with the third-level ore "Sand Crystal Amber" and has the triple enchantments of "Flowing Sand", "Empowerment" and "Sharpness". It is worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

On the handle of the spear, one foot away from the tail end, there were three third-level yellow sand magic cores. When it was less than fifty meters away from the Tuoma City Wall, the seed of life in Heleti's lower abdomen suddenly pumped, and bright yellow yellow sand fighting spirit poured into the spear "Sandstorm", wrapping around the spear like a flowing crystal, making it vibrate.

At the tail end, a yellow sand magic core quietly shattered.

Spots of bright yellow light gathered from the tail of the gun with a whistling sound and moved all the way to the tip of the gun.

The light expanded and flickered, and when it gathered on the tip of the gun, it was like the sun rising from the ground.

At this time, Helaiti was already more than ten meters outside the Tuoma City Wall. He raised his elbow and swung it forward suddenly. The bright yellow ball of light drew a crescent shape and penetrated into the snow-covered ground!

boom--! ! ! ! !
After a brief silence, a loud bang like thunder exploded. Starting from the place where the light landed, the earth cracked open, and layers of yellow sand rolled up waves and rushed forward, one wave after another, swallowing up everything in the path!

That is not ordinary sand. Under the strengthening of the yellow sand fighting spirit, each grain is the sharpest razor!

The people and horses caught in it all let out chilling screams, their armor and fur were ground into dust, and then their skin, flesh, internal organs, and bones - all were ground into pieces.

Even the yellow sand turned blood red!
When the slashing attack subsided, the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Is this... really something that human power can do!?
The crack extended for dozens of meters and stopped less than ten meters in front of Eric.

The widest part was large enough for five horses to ride side by side, leaving behind a gravel passage of yellow sand mixed with black flesh and blood. Apart from the broken limbs left at the edge, there was no trace of the existence of the packhorse wall.

“The raging waves of the vast sea…” Eugene Shinobu’s expression was filled with excitement and fear, even his voice was trembling: “…This is the raging waves of the vast sea!!”

Even he could not survive this attack!
And Eugene was also very clear that even if he blocked Heleti's attack route, the Lord King of Sand would never show any weakness!
In this land called "Bloody Heights", only the most ruthless and wisest people can be called "king"!
Link was completely stunned as he looked at the sand marks on the ground. Uncontrollable fear began to spread in his heart.

He was not afraid of death, but the strength shown by Heleti made him not even think of confronting him!

Such a powerful offensive cannot be stopped by human power at all. Even if they all rushed in, what could they do?
Fear is contagious.

Similar thoughts spread among the Eagle Army, and morale began to collapse at an unprecedented speed like dominoes. Some people's weapons had already fallen to the ground!

The Scorpion Guards had stopped, and Heleti rode forward with his spear in hand, as leisurely as if he was going on a picnic.

Not only were the Eagle Army stunned, but none of the horse thieves dared to move at all, for fear of causing dissatisfaction from Lord King Sand.

This attack just now has exceeded the imagination of all of them!
But at this moment, there was a sudden shaking from the edge of the sand, and then a man shook off the dust on his body and crawled out.

His leather armor was tattered like a beggar's, and there was almost no good skin on his body. Blood was flowing out, covering his body with a layer of sand.

Even on the edge of the "Boundless Sea", the people who could survive should be at least first-level extraordinary people, but Heleti didn't care. He only had Eric in his eyes.

Only this second-level transcendent can barely be considered his opponent.

But to Helaiti's surprise, the man who had escaped with great difficulty did not run away. Instead, he picked up an ownerless shield from the side, took a few steps forward, knelt on one knee, and held the shield in front of him, blocking Helaiti's path!
"Gore, get out of the way!" Eric finally spoke.

Eric is a second-level extraordinary person, so he is more aware of the gap between himself and Heleti, and he doesn't want anyone to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Gore shook his head, shaking off some bloody sand. At this time, his ears had been almost worn out by the previous blow, and he could only barely hear some sounds.

He knew what Eric was going to say.

But the more this happened, the more he couldn't retreat.

At this time, someone needs to stand up and tell the soldiers of the Eagle Army that they cannot give up now!

Keep fighting, keep resisting, even if it means death!
He took a deep breath, blood gushed out from his cracked lips, and he screamed:
"No cowards in the Second Battalion!"

Stopping his horse, Heleti finally looked at Gaul. The "Sand King" raised his visor and stared at the man in front of him:
"Are you really not afraid of death?"

Goyle spat out a mouthful of blood foam:
"Even if I told you about the Baron's charm, you wouldn't understand."

Heleti put down his armor and smiled coldly: "Heh, Lord Baron..."

Then he raised his hand, poured his fighting spirit into the sandstorm spear, and slashed from bottom to top again!
The ground cracked, the snow disappeared, and the sharp "Raging Waves of the Vast Sea" instantly flew in front of Gore!

Helaiti only used less than 30% of his strength, but in his opinion, it was enough to deal with a first-level transcendent.

Gao Er took a deep breath and poured all the fighting spirit in his body into the shield. The brown earth fighting spirit wrapped around the surface of the shield, welcoming the rolling yellow sand!

Although he was not chopped off immediately, the force of the blow was as continuous as quicksand.

"Oh?" Helaiti raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that the other party could still use his fighting spirit despite being so seriously injured.

"Ah——!!!!" Gole let out a violent roar, blood gushed out of his mouth and fell on the inside of the shield, and his fighting spirit swelled up again!

Everyone stared at Goyle.

Simon was watching, Link was watching, Moxingan was watching, and Eric was watching too.

They all hope that Gore can hold on and survive!

Gower has done enough!

Not only them, the horse thieves were also watching this scene silently, even Eugene was staring at it.

His pupils were trembling uncontrollably and he clenched his fists tightly.

Before this, he had never seen any first-level transcendent who could last so long in front of Lord Sand King!
Could it be possible... that he could really survive this blow?

Gore didn't have time to think about it. He only had one thought in his mind:
Drag, drag!
Delay it and buy more time for the Baron!!!
The tremor in his hand became stronger and stronger. It was the sound of the raging waves of the vast sea gradually breaking through the protection of the earth's fighting spirit and beginning to grind away at the shield itself.

And Gao Er's fighting spirit has been exhausted!
"what--"

A beast-like roar burst out from Goyle's throat as he frantically squeezed out the last bit of fighting spirit in his body. The seed of power in his lower abdomen was as weak as a candle in the wind.

But he is still asking for and exploiting!
until--

broken!

The seed of power jumped suddenly and burst into pieces. The last bit of fighting spirit flowed into the shield along Gore's arm. Under the burst of light, the last bit of power of the raging waves of the vast sea was finally eliminated!
The yellow sand disappeared.

The path stopped right in front of Gower.

But, Gore also stopped breathing at this moment, with a ferocious look of unwillingness on his face.

His body still stood there, covered with yellow sand, like a statue that had stood there since time immemorial.

"Gall!!"

Link clenched his fists and shouted loudly. At this moment, he deeply blamed himself for his previous hesitation and regretted even more why he did not dare to die with this good friend who he had been with for more than ten years.

A strong fighting spirit burned in his eyes, and the look he gave Helaiti was filled with murderous intent!
It's not just Link.

Simon, Mosing Gan, and the Eagle Army soldiers all began to breathe heavily. Their fear gradually faded away, and they became more motivated.

The soldiers who had thrown away their weapons all picked them up steadily in their hands. Some of them began to tear their clothes and wrapped their weapons around their hands, imitating Visdon.

Feeling the change in the atmosphere around him, Helaiti's face turned gloomy. He couldn't figure out what kind of magic power Raven had. From ordinary soldiers to first-level transcendents, one or two of them were willing to die for him!

If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it.

If you are willing to die, then die together!!

"Kill me——"

With a wild roar, Heleti pulled the reins tightly, lowered the head of the horse under him and ran and charged, knocking Gore's bloody body to the ground and trampling over it.

Even so, Goyle's arms were still raised.

The melee begins again!

Eric's breathing suddenly became heavy.

War always results in death.

But when he saw Goyle dying in front of him, without even his body being saved, Eric's heart was filled with uncontrollable rage.

He raised his shield and roared:
"Eagle Army!!"

"war--!!!"

At the same time, three brilliant fireworks exploded in the direction of the scorpion nest!
