As they got closer, the people of Cloud Summit discovered that the black line was a row upon row of cavalry!
Those who have never experienced it cannot imagine the deep-rooted shivers and fear that arise when faced with an army of thousands charging towards them.
This is not related to courage; it is instinctual. Perhaps in such situations, only the most elite infantry from the peak of the cold weapon era in the Central Plains could barely suppress their instinct to retreat.
The people of Cloud Summit, especially the red dress guard, had all been through great battles, so their psychological resilience was certainly up to par.
However, that doesn’t mean they were devoid of feelings; this innate fear did not affect their combat ability. On the contrary, they understood how to transform that feeling into excitement!
In comparison, the Youth Army fell short. They had risen too quickly from low-level evolvers to their current ranks, resulting in unstable psychological states. Faced with an unknown number of cavalry across from them, many of the youths were visibly breathing rapidly, and a very few were trembling.
This showcased the might of a cavalry charge.
“It’s stone horses!”
As the cavalry legion drew near, everyone saw that the mounts of the cavalry were all brown stone horses, tall and without armor. They didn’t need armor, as their bodies were hard as armor.
“And the cavalry too.”
Xiao Min sighed lightly, realizing that this was likely a manifestation of the properties of the Mountain King Plateau.
“The abilities of the battle beasts are sealed!”
A female warrior with a support-type battle beast shouted. She had initially planned to provide a buff to her team but unexpectedly received feedback from her battle beast stating the attempt had failed, and it continued to fail.
Others quickly noticed the issue as well. Yangos and the earth yellow pill skeptically tried and found that even they could not break the rules of this place.
This made the two rebellious individuals behave themselves quite a bit, as this space had proven it could easily suppress them at any moment.
“This is a test.”
Ye Zhongming’s voice suddenly rang out. No matter what he said, his words always gave everyone strength and a sense of security, calming those tense members of the Youth Army.
This is the role of an idol and a spiritual pillar.
“The Mountain King Plateau must be testing the abilities of evolvers to find the best candidate to obtain it. The battle beasts are clearly not within the scope of its assessment.”
Ye Zhongming drew out his war knife, and the others from Cloud Summit followed suit.
“However, there is nothing to fear, right? Compared to the monsters in the secret realm, they are nothing.”
The entire Cloud Summit team, with Ye Zhongming as the tip of the spear, charged forward.
From the sky, the formations of both sides were completely disproportionate. Compared to the charging formation of the brown stone knights, Cloud Summit’s was so thin and small it was almost negligible.
But when the two sides collided, Cloud Summit’s battle team conformed more to the properties of this space, advancing bravely like a rock in a stream of stone.
These cavalry were not particularly powerful; according to their evolution levels, they were at most level three or four. The only commendable aspect was their defensive capabilities. That brown stone material was exceptionally hard; even Cloud Summit’s green-grade weapons couldn’t shatter them if the angle was wrong or if they struck a thick area.
Amidst the flying stones, although they would soon fall, the impact of the clash and the intensity of the battle caused these stones never to disappear, gradually enveloping the charging team from Cloud Summit.
Suddenly, a melodious horn sounded. During the battle, Ye Zhongming leapt onto a stone horse and struck down a stone knight's head with a single blow, then looked around with a slightly changed expression.
Just moments before, only the warriors from Cloud Summit had attacked. The members of the father team and the various battle beasts had remained behind, protected by a squad from the Youth Army.
