Ye Zhongming glanced around and found that several cavalry teams were gathering in his line of sight, with the largest team numbering over ten thousand.
In the midst of the sudden attack, when the entire camp was in chaos, it was evident that an excellent commander was leading these beastmen, and their combat skills were quite impressive.
Suddenly, a fierce energy surged from behind. Ye Zhongming recognized it as a lightning-like attack from a cavalry team, but instead of dodging, he turned back and threw a punch, colliding hard with the incoming attack.
He wanted to test the quality of this seemingly combined technique.
As his fist met the energy, the lightning-like attack scattered instantly, transforming into small electric snakes that darted around. Many beastman cavalry were caught in the attack, their bodies convulsing and going rigid as they fell from their mounts. While it didn't result in immediate deaths, many were trampled in the chaos.
Ye Zhongming then retreated, killing two cavalrymen on either side before crashing into a group of beastman infantry armed with weapons.
The attack from the seven or eight hundred cavalry earlier was roughly equivalent to Fuleira's three to four hundred.
Although it couldn't compare to the red dress guard, it was still quite formidable.
Ye Zhongming's interest in them was piqued.
He unleashed all his mental power, constantly probing the entire camp that resembled a small town, trying to locate the commander's position, but he found nothing in a short time.
Just then, a tower behind him suddenly shattered, and a massive bolt of lightning rushed towards him. Ye Zhongming casually grabbed a giant axe from a beastman warrior's corpse and infused his energy into it, tossing it backward. After a loud crash, the lightning shrank somewhat and struck the ground where Ye Zhongming had just stood, but he had already appeared elsewhere.
Ye Zhongming took a quick look and made an estimation.
About fifteen hundred people, with Fuleira around six hundred.
Earlier, it was seven or eight hundred, with Fuleira over three hundred.
Was this a proportional relationship?
Perhaps seeing Ye Zhongming evade, the cavalry team of over a thousand howled and launched another attack, disregarding their companions near the target.
This time Ye Zhongming picked up a weapon from the side, a spear he threw out, but the effect was completely different from before.
The cavalry assumed their attack would only be partially blocked, so they surged forward as a unit. However, this time, their lightning burst dissipated instantly, while the spear's speed remained unchanged, piercing through the beastman cavalry.
The strongest knight at the front was pierced first, followed by the second and third behind him...
The spear pierced nearly a hundred cavalry before exploding at the end of the unit, splattering fragments that took down a large group of surrounding beastman knights.
With just a spear, he killed hundreds of beastman cavalry, and this display of power instinctively slowed the movements of many native warriors.
But Ye Zhongming didn't stop. This time, he took a bit longer to prepare. He leaped onto an arrow tower and then jumped down, striking out a punch at the cavalry unit of over ten thousand that had just regrouped.
This was the first time Ye Zhongming used his full strength today.
The air around his body twisted from the force of his punch.
The cavalry unit had not anticipated Ye Zhongming would attack in this manner, and only a few reacted in time, entering a battle state and counterattacking under the lead of several knights.
Although only a portion of them responded, there were still thousands. This was the strongest challenge Ye Zhongming had faced so far.
However, Ye Zhongming was too fast. As their attacks were just being launched, the King of Cloud Summit had already arrived.
His fist crashed into the forming lightning, not producing the expected clash sound or explosion, but instead... was directly knocked back by Ye Zhongming.
The lightning ball landed among the cavalry unit, and following that was Ye Zhongming's energy-infused fist.
