As the bombs beneath the aircraft fell, Koleiji Knight swung his sword upward, sending an arc-shaped sword gleam cutting through the sky towards the Deer Hunter Dive Bomber.
The bomb missed its target, exploding fifty ters from the circular fortifications. Those inside felt as if they were in a frying pan, tossed into the air by the heaving ground.
The shockwave swept dust and debris across the ground, as mud and stones poured into the fortifications like a tide.
Koleiji Knight raised his shield to block the shockwave and debris, then lifted his sword and shouted, "The enemy is upon us! Prepare to fight! Kill!"
The Storm Knights raised their weapons in unison, shouting in response, "Kill!"
...
Yan Xing led the charge, advancing through the narrow trench with the heroes of the First Special Combat Squad.
After turning a corner, they saw a soldier in Wildwind Principality armor ten ters ahead, aiming a Sparrow Hunting Rifle at them.
The soldier, who had been pre-aiming at the corner, pulled the trigger the mont he saw Yan Xing erge. The rifle’s responsiveness was far superior to the Charged Magic Wands they were equipped with. It had no short charging period, and the recoil imdiately impacted his shoulder.
A bullet, spitting flas from the muzzle, shot towards the suddenly appearing enemy.
The bullet then struck a Magic shield that sprang up instantly. It ricocheted off the shield’s surface, creating ripples that altered its trajectory and caused it to burrow into the trench wall.
Damn... It’s a hero...
The soldier felt a numbness spread through his body, then lost consciousness.
Rushing out, Yan Xing didn’t dodge the rifle fire in the narrow passage. He strode forward, swiftly extending his left hand to deploy a pre-prepared Magic shield.
The shield deflected the incoming bullet, and Yan Xing imdiately launched a chain of lightning, striking down the obstructing soldier.
The gunfire alerted the defending Wildwind Principality soldiers. Despite the dizziness from the recent close-range bombing, they raised their rifles and fired at Yan Xing.
Yan Xing maintained his Magic shield, angling it to deflect the incoming bullets.
This trench segnt, about fifteen ters long, was the only passage to the circular fortifications ahead.
Breaking through would allow them to enter the inner part of the circular fortifications, giving his First Special Combat Squad a relatively spacious area to deploy. Otherwise, they would have to risk leaving the trench and advancing across ground riddled with bullets and whizzing Magic.
Fortunately, when Yan Xing decided to lead the team to intercept this group of Storm Knights, Chui Chui had tily diverted firepower to provide prolonged covering fire for this area.
The barrage prevented the Wildwind Principality’s Army’s subsequent reinforcents, effectively isolating this advanced enemy squad.
Then ca the artillery barrage, followed by another bomb.
This assault prevented the enemy forces occupying the area from establishing an effective defense.
Firing hastily with their newly acquired rifles, the Wildwind Principality soldiers, still dazed from the bomb’s shockwave, had poor aim. Their missed shots and ricocheting bullets kicked up clouds of dust from the trench walls.
Shield raised, Yan Xing led his soldiers in a fearless charge. His longsword crackled with electric sparks from its accumulated lightning-aspected Magic energy. His left hand, holding up the shield, instantly altered its magical properties, forming a blast of compressed air that then exploded.
Like a shaped charge detonating, the shockwave surged forward through the narrow trench. It swept up wood fragnts and stone debris, sending the soldiers blocking the path flying backward.
A single Magic spell cleared the path of enemies. Yan Xing and his n then charged out of the trench and into the circular fortification.
Just then, Koleiji Knight arrived with the Storm Knights. They counterattacked from higher ground, striking at the Eternal Domain heroes who had just burst out.
Moreover, Koleiji recognized the one leading the interception against his assault detachnt... It was Yan Xing himself!
The Lord of the Eternal Domain, the spokesman for Thunderous Swamp.
He had actually led a team to the front line himself!
Not that genius Knight, Donna, who once fought alongside Lady Hibel at Anjik Fort.
Where had Donna gone?
Why was Yan Xing, the supre commander of the Eternal Domain, here fighting this kind of battle?
Koleiji Knight couldn’t understand.
But he knew his chance for ritorious service had arrived.
If he could slay Yan Xing here, he could end this war.
His contribution would surely be enough to earn him the title of Earl.
Yan Xing’s unexpected appearance ignited all of Koleiji Knight’s fighting spirit.
He forgot everything else, his eyes and mind firmly locked on Yan Xing.
Invincible Strength
Bright Battle Armor
Bloodthirsty Technique
Attack Acceleration
Ready to Strike
Zealous Steel Blade
Koleiji Knight advanced step by step towards Yan Xing, layers of combat skills and magical auras radiating from him.
His armor was coated with a shimring defensive enhancent Enchantnt. His eyes turned crimson, fueled by his soaring fighting spirit, while acceleration Magic ford small whirlwinds at his feet.
The Knight’s sword, after Enchantnt, grew wider and longer.
Yan Xing, who was organizing his subordinates into formation, sensed the approaching danger. He saw Koleiji Knight. Simultaneously, Chui Chui displayed the intelligence gathered on Koleiji via Yan Xing’s glasses.
The Wildwind Principality’s elite Storm Knights were divided into five detachnts, and Koleiji Knight was the commander of the Fourth Detachnt.
He excelled at leading assault teams and was extrely aggressive, having earned many rits under Anderson’s command.
Moreover, Koleiji Knight’s attacks were not reckless; he possessed excellent observational skills for assessing the battlefield’s developnts. Thus, in critical situations, he could often lead his detachnt to retreat unscathed.
In short, strong generals don’t command weak soldiers.
Those chosen by Anderson to be Storm Knights were undoubtedly powerful heroes. According to the Eternal Domain’s new combat hero standards, they were at least elite-level.
As one of the five detachnt commanders, Koleiji Knight’s strength was naturally even more formidable.
Chui Chui assessed Koleiji Knight’s comprehensive combat power at 5,000.
This was only an estimate of Koleiji Knight’s combat strength based on available intelligence. Considering his extensive combat experience, battlefield performance, and other factors, his actual combat effectiveness would undoubtedly be sowhat higher.
Just like Donna...
Donna’s comprehensive combat power rating was less than 3,000. However, with the advanced weaponry provided by the Eternal Domain, along with various informational, material, and personnel support, she could still contend with Storm Knight detachnt commanders in single combat.
Of course, talent was the most critical factor.
Even Hibel spoke endlessly of Donna’s combat talent.
Yan Xing quickly scanned the information from Chui Chui, gaining a general understanding of the advancing Koleiji Knight’s strength.
Currently, his First Special Combat Squad faced the Storm Knights’ Fourth Detachnt and was at a clear nurical disadvantage.
They also lacked a terrain advantage.
Therefore, after charging out, they didn’t rush into battle but focused on maintaining their formation.
Waiting... for their surprise reinforcents.
The Storm Knights, nurous and holding the advantage of high ground, were full of fighting spirit.
They upheld their knightly honor, clad in battle armor and wielding warhamrs, swords, and other cold weapons. Their bodies glowed with multiple buffing Enchantnts as they charged the enemy heroes from various directions.
And above their heads...
Combat Puppet Guards in Winged Suits flew in.
At an altitude of one hundred ters, they deployed their parachutes. The drag slowed their descent as they simultaneously shed their Winged Suits.
The parachutes carried away the Winged Suits. The Combat Puppet Guards, now clad in black leather combat suits fitted with additional protective plates, accelerated their descent.
When they were about ten ters from the ground, they simultaneously drew their upgraded Special Guard Tang Swords and slashed down at the enemies below.
The Storm Knights on the ground sensed the danger from above. Their combat instincts made them quickly raise their shields or ready their weapons to defend.
But this strike concentrated the kinetic energy from the descent of the Combat Puppet Guards.
The point of impact was precisely calculated, allowing the Combat Puppet Guards to strike from the optimal angle, concentrating all their force onto a single point.
The resulting impact was like the crushing weight of a mountain.
The Special Guard Tang Swords, equipped with High-frequency Blades, proved devastating in this engagent.
Whether magical shields, physical shields, or weapons, all shattered instantaneously under this formidable strike.
The montum of the Special Guard Tang Swords was not diminished in the slightest by the resistance, continuing downward to cleave the targeted Storm Knight in two.
