Chapter 576: Chapter 106: One Against Ten Thousand, The Hero’s Curtain Call (Part 2) Rumble!
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.
At some point, the sky over the battlefield changed color, and Khan Chagatai looked up at the oppressive sky, saying solemnly, "All the peoples of the grassland fear lightning."
"But I have heard that you never fear the wrath of Heaven."
Clang.
He drew the curved blade from his waist, speaking slowly, "I fear not."
An eagle should soar in thunderous storms.
He had defeated enemies under the fury of lightning more than once. Today, as the Overlord of the grasslands, whether victory or defeat, he wouldn’t betray those who followed him with their lives.
He used an open strategy to draw Duncan into battle and kept the Pantheism neutral.
All the strategies had been exhausted.
Yet he still didn’t know what kind of opponent he was facing.
The souls were mourning.
They felt like a traitor, abandoning the old flame for a new love.
But they wouldn’t regret it, for they had wagered everything.
Rumble!
Another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and the howling gale made the flags flutter. Twenty thousand cavalrymen began to move forward slowly, gradually accelerating with the pounding of war drums.
Behind Khan Chagatai, the riders waved the banners, and soon the cavalry on both flanks began to disperse. Several thousand cavalry formed a circular mounted archery formation, simultaneously harassing and invading from the left and right, while the Central Army slightly slowed its pace, still accumulating momentum, ready to launch a thunderous assault at any moment.
"Using a god’s-eye view to find the weak points in dealing with such an opponent seems a bit unfair."
"Since you want a heroic end, I’ll grant you that."
Duncan led the Divine Favor Khan’s Personal Guard directly in a charge. Behind him, the cavalry from the Torgut tribe struggled to keep up, starting to fall behind, causing slight confusion in the command of the left and right flanks. The entire formation looked like a disconnected wedge formation, with Duncan leading several hundred Khan’s Personal Guards far ahead as the tip.
What is he trying to do?
Completely abandoning the command of the army?
Khan Chagatai noticed the enemy’s flaw, immediately ordering the flanks to encircle, exploiting the enemy’s chaos to completely smash their sides. Meanwhile, he personally led the Central Army forward, knowing that as long as he intercepted Duncan’s leading Khan’s Personal Guard, the enemy’s defeat was only a matter of time.
Rumble!
Bolts of lightning tore through the sky one after another.
Roar.
Duncan’s war shout even drowned out the thunder. Under the stunned gaze of countless grassland nomads, the leading Divine Favor Khan’s Personal Guard had already rushed to the forefront, with Duncan’s figure leading them by nearly a hundred or two hundred meters.
One against ten thousand!
At this moment, it felt as if he alone was charging into the ranks of ten thousand troops.
Bang!
The foremost grassland cavalry was swept aside by Duncan, his body crashing through them like a cannonball, knocking down more than ten people. The storm raged as Duncan’s path was cleared, causing Khan Chagatai’s Personal Guard to be utterly defeated, with the foremost hundreds of cavalrymen collapsing under his lone charge.
"Truly invincible!"
Khan Chagatai’s expression was remarkably calm. Duncan, favored by the souls, must have extraordinary abilities. His unmatched valor was entirely within his expectations.
Mounted archery formation.
He took the grassland war bow from his back, personally leading the Khan’s Personal Guard Eagle Shooters at full gallop to face Duncan head-on. Retreating at this moment would utterly collapse their army’s morale, given that the enemy dared to break through alone.
"Fire!"
Thousands upon thousands of arrows rained down.
In the stunned and incredulous gaze of many, Duncan wielded his Necromancy spear, causing a storm to rise. The countless arrows were surprisingly blocked by him alone, creating an empty area with a diameter of about ten meters amidst the army of ten thousand.
Was he still a mortal?
At this moment, even Khan Chagatai felt a twinge of fear.
But he still swung his long knife, commanding the army to surround from both sides, intercepting the supporting Divine Favor Khan’s Personal Guard while concentrating forces to encircle and kill the advancing Duncan.
Even a divine being will eventually tire.
"Shoot the horse!"
After all, Duncan’s deflection might not be flawless. Even his divine steed in heavy armor let out a mournful cry, front hooves kneeling on the ground as if losing the ability to run.
His figure darted forward without any hesitation, sprinting like a primordial beast, completely surpassing the speed of a galloping horse.
One against ten thousand.
A single man breaking the ranks of ten thousand!
Amidst the raging storm, Duncan broke through Khan Chagatai’s Personal Guard head-on. Wherever he went, men and horses fell, and no one could stop his advance. With dozens of arrows embedded in him, some even penetrating his heavy armor and injuring his flesh, he remained indifferent, heading straight for Khan Chagatai amidst the army of thousands.
"Charge! Xianzhen!"
Boke Lie and many other Divine Favor Khan’s Personal Guards watched Duncan’s figure disappear into the mass of soldiers, entering a berserk state as they broke through the ranks by force, following in Duncan’s footsteps into the sea of enemy soldiers.
