Starting from the border troops, I've worked my way up to become a Martial Emperor.

The discussions in Yanzhou City ended after a short time.

But Lu Yuan and his men's battle had only just begun. As the Iron Falcons charged towards them, they raised their bows and arrows. The Iron Falcons differed from other Northern Barbarian scouts in that each of them was skilled in mounted archery.

"Crane Wing, block!"

Seeing the Iron Falcon raise its archers, Lu Yuan shouted, and the cavalry on both flanks immediately rode forward. The "Cloud-Piercing Crane Wing Formation" not only allowed for a charge, but also served to block enemy archers on both flanks.

As they converged toward the center, the shields on their horses were removed and held above their heads.

With two crane wings, Lu Yuan arranged ten skilled warriors for each of them. With shields in hand and the support of the military formation, they were more than capable of protecting him.

With the wings covering the area.

"Clang! Clang!"

The arrows from the Iron Falcon struck the shield and fell to the ground.

Although some people were shot and wounded, it did not significantly reduce their combat effectiveness.

At this moment, Lu Yuan also raised his python-tendon bow, drew arrows from his quiver, and began to counterattack.

"Whoosh!"

Two arrows flew out, and instantly two people on the other side fell to the ground.

Lu Yuan kept moving, only continuously shooting out arrows.

He was very fast; his taut tendons made pulling effortless.

Each time, it shot out like a full moon.

Every shot fired will inevitably bring someone down.

In a short period of time, more than ten people on the other side were shot dead.

Upon witnessing this scene, the centurion in the lead knew in his heart that this must be the person who had defeated him last time.

Because in the three fortified cities, he had never seen anyone wield a bow and arrow so skillfully.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan was hearing the system's voice constantly ringing in his mind.

[Host has used the "Wolf-Chasing Archery Technique" to kill a powerful enemy, proficiency +10]

......

The centurion of the Iron Falcon unit, having witnessed Lu Yuan's terrifying archery skills, gritted his teeth and said, "Stop shooting! Charge!"

The arrows just now didn't do much damage to Lu Yuan and his men; on the contrary, more than a dozen of their own men died.

Currently, he still has more than seventy people under his command, which he believes is enough to deal with Lu Yuan and his group in a head-on confrontation.

These Iron Falcons were all elite troops. Upon receiving the order, they immediately followed and charged forward.

After seeing them launch their charge, Lu Yuan also put away his arrows.

"Both flanks back in position, attack!"

The order was given, and the cranes flew to either side.

Lu Yuan, with his crane-beak, wielded a large sword and rode his warhorse to meet Iron Falcon.

[Host's proficiency increased by 10 after using the "Soaring Crane Wing Formation" to kill an enemy.]

......

The "Soaring Crane Wing Formation" grants additional effects, tripling the team's combat power.

[The "Soaring Crane Wing Formation" grants additional benefits, doubling the team's speed and impact by borrowing the wind.]

[The "Soaring Crane Wing Formation" grants additional effects: Armor Penetration, doubling the team's chance of landing armor-piercing critical hits.]

As the sound rang out.

"laugh!"

Lu Yuan had already collided fiercely with the iron hawk.

The sword swung, heavy as a mountain.

The leader of the Iron Falcons, whose cultivation was at the Bone Forging Realm, had his head severed by Lu Yuan's blade. Blood mist rose, and Lu Yuan swung his blade again.

The iron hawk closest to him was cut in two.

With him charging ahead, the pressure on Wei Yong and the others following behind was greatly reduced.

Even though this Iron Falcon squad was quite strong, their formation was still scattered after a single charge.

More than twenty people were killed or injured again.

At this point, the number of people had already reached around fifty.

The centurion, witnessing this scene, found his vision blurring even in the bright sunlight.

That's right, it's the same opponent I encountered last time, but this time, he brought Silver Arm Iron Falcon, and he was still wiped out in a single charge.

As they watched their opponents turn their horses around and charge forward again...

He knew that this time, he had no way out; if he tried to escape back, death would be his only fate.

The next moment, they gathered the remaining troops and continued to meet Lu Yuan and his group.

But the outcome remained unchanged.

With the support of the Crane Wing Formation and Lu Yuan personally leading the charge, these Iron Falcons have absolutely no chance of winning.

More than thirty people fell to the ground again.

At this point, the team was reduced to less than twenty people, who were surrounded.

Excitement appeared on the faces of the Dayong warriors.

The military merits they gained after this battle were enough for them to exchange for sufficient resources to enter the country.

Their dark armor was stained with blood, and their eyes shone brightly.

"kill!"

The centurion of the Iron Falcon charged angrily toward Lu Yuan.

He knew he was doomed to die in this battle, and now all he could see was Lu Yuan, the culprit.

His cultivation level of mastering the Tendon Refining Technique was revealed.

His eyes bulged out like copper bells.

The other Iron Falcons did not move; they knew what their centurion was thinking.

Lu Yuan's men, at his signal, also did not move.

He just watched coldly.

Just as the centurion was about to approach Lu Yuan on his warhorse, he leaped high off his horse, his armor plates colliding with the air at high speed.

It makes a "whoosh" sound.

A pale golden light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and then the battle blade slashed down with the force of Mount Tai crashing down.

The centurion felt a thunderous attack from above, and although he was furious, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

He held the fine iron barb above his head.

They wanted to stop this attack.

"Bang!"

The sword landed on the spear shaft, which bent at a speed visible to the naked eye before being flung away.

The centurion of the Iron Falcon Army trembled, his palms dripping with blood.

"Herod!"

The warhorse let out a mournful neigh and its front hooves buckled to their knees.

It fell down in front of Lu Yuan.

This scene shocked everyone who witnessed it; with just one strike, Lu Yuan defeated a centurion from the Iron Falcon unit.

That's how strong they are.

"laugh!"

With a swing of the longsword, the centurion's head was severed.

Lu Yuan's gaze swept over the other Iron Falcons, and these people were as if they had been electrocuted; some of them even tumbled off their horses.

Then, more than twenty people knelt down on the ground.

It wasn't that they were cowardly, but rather that they were stunned by what they had just witnessed. The Northern Barbarians also revered the strong, and Lu Yuan's methods instilled a deep-seated fear in them.

Naturally, they dared not fight again.

"Tie him up!"

The Silver-Armed Iron Falcons have never had a team like this surrender before.

This trip back home will surely be a great success.

Wei Yong and his group, of course, did not stand on ceremony.

He grinned and said, "Yes, sir!"

As he spoke, he led his men forward and secured the iron kites tightly, and the other party did not resist at all.

He only looked at Lu Yuan with a look of awe from time to time.

"Take stock of the spoils and collect the supplies. We'll rest here for today and head back to the city early tomorrow morning." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after Lu Yuan finished speaking.

Zhou He and his men began to take stock of the spoils.

These iron kites had been roaming around the area for quite some time, and they were carrying valuables.

This time, even if I don't have enough military merits, I can use the silver to buy cultivation resources and make a breakthrough.
