Chapter 494: Devion and the Unbreakable Heavy Cavalry
Ka-cha!
As Giovanni watched the gate being lifted, his expression gradually turned cold.
Just when the gate was lifted halfway, he suddenly unsheathed his sword and raised it in midair.
“Warriors of Astania, outside are the disorganized troops of the fallen Remondin! They may outnumber us, but we are more powerful than those bastards!”
“Let go of your fears and prepare to charge with me! Today, we will defeat this so-called unbeatable army!”
Ka-cha!
When the gate was fully opened, Giovanni squeezed his legs and shouted.
“CHARGE!!”
The warriors of Astania followed him while shouting their loud battlecries to erase their fears.
Meanwhile, Remondin’s troops didn’t expect them to take the initiative to attack.
Caught by surprise, the military officers weren’t able to react immediately.
When they finally gathered their senses, the Astanian troops were already halfway towards them.
It was already too late to send their archers so the military officers could only hastily send their shield bearers and cavalrymen to slow down the approaching enemies.
At this moment, the Astanian troops had gathered considerable momentum from their charge.
“Destroy them!” Giovanni roared as he stimulated his energy core.
For this battle, he couldn’t afford to get careless. He immediately covered his body with mana to protect himself from unexpected attacks.
A small group of skilled soldiers led by Derrek also circled him, protecting him from every direction.
A violent clash followed.
The screams of the soldiers and the clashing of their weapons echoed across the battlefield.
Remondin’s troops fiercely resisted, but the Astanian warriors were like ferocious beasts, wildly charging without fear for their lives.
The most eye-catching among them was Christon Evander. He led the Gryphon Knights Order to penetrate through the enemy’s defensive line.
With them leading the charge, the Astanian troops managed to pierce through the enemy formation unhindered.
“Stop them! Don’t let them break our formation!” Shouted one of the military officers under Remondin. He was a Transcendent Knight with considerable skill and experience.
If it weren’t for him and a few others, Remondin’s troops would have already surrendered by now.
Just then, he suddenly felt a strong presence locking in on him.
Turning his head, he saw an old man riding a gryphon charging at him with a cold gaze.
With just a glance, he could already tell that this old man was not to be trifled with.
A peak Transcendent!
“All of you, on me!” He commanded his men.
He couldn’t show any weakness here. Otherwise, the morale of their troops would fall even further.
Seeing them charging at him, Christon snorted and brandished his lance with tremendous force.
Whoosh!
With a swing, more than ten Elite Knights were torn apart.
Clang!
“I won’t let you take another step!” Shouted the enemy commander as he blocked his lance with his shield.
Christon narrowed his eyes. The enemy was stronger than he had thought. Although not on the level of Loras, he still had some considerable power.
“You are strong, but not strong enough to stop me!”
“I am Christon Evander, the strongest Transcendent Knight of Astania! How dare you block my path?!” Christon exerted more strength on his lance, his mana overflowing like a torrent.
The enemy commander was overwhelmed by his strength and formidable presence.
In the next moment, his shield, a relic-level equipment, suddenly broke apart.
Christon’s lance struck his body and cut him in half!
Whoosh!
Blood splattered all over Christon’s armor, but he ignored the stench and urged his gryphon to move forward.
“Gryphon Knights Order, stay close to me! Today, our names will resonate across the lands as an unrivaled force!” He bellowed.
Hearing his roar, the Gryphon Knights Order roared.
“Kill them all!”
“Crush them!”
Giovanni was just right behind them.
They are indeed the imperial family’s sharpest blade.
He thought as he watched the Gryphon Knights Order’s ferocious attacks.
We might be able to do it.
He was starting to feel more confident about their victory, but it didn’t last for long.
Thirty minutes into the battle, the Gryphon Knights Order was forced to take a halt due to the presence of an unexpected force.
It was an army consisting of five thousand men, a heavy cavalry unit who were armed to the teeth.
Each of their soldiers was significantly larger than the others. They held a shield and a broadsword, looking like the stalwart barbarian warriors.
The person leading them was also no slouch.
It was a dark skinned man with short curly hair. He had a fierce look in his eyes as if he wanted to devour his enemies whole.
CLANG!!
This man… is a peak Transcendent like me!
Christon frowned when he sensed his opponent’s power. He thought that Loras was the most formidable Transcendent Knight he had fought, but the man in front of him seemed a tad stronger.
“Who are you?! I don’t remember someone like you among the top warriors of Harune!”
His opponent snorted and responded with a frosty look. “Do you think that only Astania has a secret force?!”
“Listen carefully, old man… I am Devion Redina, the Commander of the Unbreakable Heavy Cavalry!”
Devion Redina… I don’t remember hearing this name. Is he someone personally nurtured by Remondin?
Christon never thought that Remondin was still hiding a man of this caliber. Not to mention the Unbreakable Heavy Cavalry which seemed to be the most formidable unit in his army.
Fighting this man might push me into advancing to ’that realm’!
Christon suddenly grinned.
His vigorous aura fluctuated intensely, taking Devion by surprise.
What’s wrong with this old man?
“Devion is it? Show me the strength of the so-called Commander of the Unbreakable Heavy Cavalry!” Christon’s taunting voice drifted into his ears.
Hearing his words, veins protruded on his face.
“How dare you look down on me?!” Furious, Devion roared as he charged at the old man.
He activated his broadsword’s engraved ability by pouring in his mana.
“You will die by my hands today, Christon!”
“It should be me saying that!”
