The ground of Jinguo City was shaking. At first, this tremor was overshadowed by the earlier vibrations caused by the battle beast legion, but soon the beastmen realized something was off.
The vibrations from the battle beast legion were terrifying, but they were chaotic. However, this new shaking was all too familiar to them; it was a sound they often made during an assault.
Cavalry?!
This word flashed through the minds of many beastman troops outside the city.
But now their air force had been completely wiped out, and their companions within the city had been nearly killed off as well. They had no way of knowing what was truly happening.
When the Cloud Summit cavalry appeared at the breach, the beastmen outside finally understood what they were about to face.
What were the beastmen troops outside dealing with?
Just moments ago, it was the overwhelming air force of Cloud Summit!
Now, it was the lightning-fast Cloud Summit cavalry!
The air force of Cloud Summit was unlike that of the beastmen; they were flying entities with unique abilities and battle styles, making them unpredictable and difficult to counter.
What could the beastmen do in response? They had no magic crystal cannons or various anti-air weapons. Were they supposed to throw their weapons into the air?
So, once the air force appeared, the beastmen could only brace themselves for the blows. Even if there were occasional counterattacks that hindered and caused casualties to the Cloud Summit air forces, these were merely localized incidents and didn’t significantly impact the overall situation.
With only the air force deployed, it was simply not enough to crush the beastmen. Regardless, their numbers were far greater than that of Cloud Summit’s air force, so when the Cloud Summit cavalry had yet to emerge, the beastmen’s army, though chaotic, had not truly collapsed.
However, as the thirty thousand cavalry surged forth, led by heavily armored heavy cavalry, the beastmen had no means to defend themselves and were directly cut into by the enemy’s formation.
In the era of cold weapons, cavalry earned the title of the king of war precisely because such a ferocious charge could demolish all obstacles ahead. They could shatter defense formations several times their number, even breaking steel!
The battle bears that separated from the battle beast legion acted as vanguards, advancing with their respective arrowhead leaders amidst the tremors of the earth. Their massive claws, dragon spears, and energy erupted violently at that moment, resulting in a shower of blood and severed limbs.
Following the heavy cavalry were the relatively lighter cavalry. They appeared more coordinated since, no matter how much humanity evolved, their physique could not compare to that of the battle bears. However, cavalry units mounted on creatures like Cloud Hoof resembled the image of cavalry in human imagination more closely.
Most of them wielded multiple weapons; Magic Crystal Firearms, bows, and curved sabers were essential. They followed the heavy cavalry or flanked them, using long-range attacks to strike the enemy before seizing opportunities to slice through the enemy formation from various angles like blades.
Statistical analyses after battles always found that the heavy cavalry, although playing a vital role at the front, had far fewer kills than the light cavalry, highlighting just how lethal the light cavalry could be.
In the age of evolvers, although everyone was superhuman, in such cluster wars, the essence was no different from before. When one side was at a disadvantage, failing to respond promptly could lead to a complete rout.
The reason there had yet to be a total collapse now was merely that the cavalry was advancing from only one direction.
However, following the cavalry was the reinforcement from Cloud Summit, including Sister Rong, Lu Yi, Afo, the Ogre Chain, the Sanctuary army, and various other teams that were supposed to be stationed across different locations. They rushed out from the Gate of Secrets, initiating a large-scale counterattack.
