Chapter 60 32. Gift of Destiny
With the eldest son of the Calvo family dead, the Calvo family's Cold Ones riders collapsed. Some reacted and tried to lift Soul Eaters onto the Cold Ones to resist the charge, while many more jumped off the Cold Ones and tried to escape. The team led by Thun turned back and rushed directly towards the fleeing riders.
Dastan Coldeye did not choose to charge, but ordered the riders to jump off the Cold Lizards and began to encircle them from both sides, pulling down the riders who were still resisting stubbornly and using leaf hammers to open cans. Screams came one after another, but the Cold Lizards were indifferent, staring blankly at the Duruchi fighting or looking with dilated nostrils at the Black Sharp Crossbowmen and their Dark Pegasus who were suppressing the shooting in the air.
Dastan Lengyan, along with his younger brother and sister, held up shields to prevent sneak attacks from the crossbows and pulled down a rider who was still hysterically waving the Soul Eater. His sister swung a leaf hammer and directly hit the rider who was still struggling wildly in the head. The rider screamed, stretched his legs and fell silent.
The Cold Isle Fear Riders' civil war style is extremely complicated. First, there is a wave of hedging, which cannot be accelerated at all. After the hedging, the traditional art projects begin. The riders transform into melee cavalry, swinging leaf hammers and hitting each other like cans. The battle cannot be resolved in a short time, and it depends on resilience and numbers.
Although the cold lizards are a little stupid, they are not idiots. These little cowards will not bump into each other, and they will not bite each other. They are all family members. Instead, they look at the fight between the cold lizard riders on their backs with confused faces.
Just as Dacus had predicted, they'd lured him into a trap through that rubbish trial. As long as one team bumped into him and entangled him, the rest of the team would rush over, and he'd be doomed. So, he could only keep moving and divide and conquer.
The battle on Toon's side was also resolved. After confirming that the Duruchi of the Calvo family had been eliminated, several dignitaries hurried over, waiting for Daquus's next instructions.
Dacuus looked at the head in Garros's hand, stretched out his right hand and twirled it next to his ear, asking curiously, "Is this the son with the neck problem?"
Dastan Lengyan and several other Duruchi dignitaries were somewhat bewildered.
Ryan understood what he meant. He stretched his head to observe carefully, then nodded in confirmation: "Sir, it's him."
Dacus shrugged mockingly, spread his hands, and said, "Hopefully, his son's head can heal his neck. I'll send the whole gift box back later." He glanced at the group of bad guys standing before him and said, "Let's go. Let's look east. If nothing goes wrong, there's more there."
In Dacus's eyes, these powerful people and the families behind them are not good people. Maybe all these troubles were instigated by them.
The team did not linger and began to move eastward.
The cold lizards of the Calvo family followed, and the riders of each family were warned not to talk to each other or look back.
These Duruchi elves vaguely guessed that the key to the smooth progress of the battle lay in the drum, or in the smaller, deformed cold lizard under Daxus's crotch.
After an hour's march, Thun's team discovered the dark riders brought by Dakwus. They were being chased by a team of cold lizard fear riders. The dark riders directly split up and went around the flank of Dakwus' team.
The Cold Ones Dread Riders on the opposite side were from the Thorn family and were led by one of Watt's brothers.
"Big guy, turn around."
Following the big guy's roar, the cold lizards in Daxus's team stopped and started to return the same way.
Just as I turned around and started, a horn sounded from behind.
"You blew the horn too early."
Daxus shook his head. He wanted to pull the team out of the woods, find an open area, and end the battle with a single charge.
The cold lizards on both sides began to run wildly without the control of their riders. The riders of the Thorn Family did not react at first, and it took a while before they realized that the cold lizards were out of control.
But it was too late.
Daxus's team completed the turn and began to charge, still using the classic sieve-like style of play.
The cold lizard under Walter's brother's crotch suddenly stopped. No matter how he kicked and scolded it, it remained indifferent. It even turned back to look at him, as if asking him: "What are you doing?" Walter's brother was so angry that he wanted to hit the cold lizard on the head.
Looking at the charging Cold Lizard Dread Rider holding the Soul Eater high, the nearly half-meter-long spear tip of the Soul Eater was particularly dazzling under the early morning sun. Walter's brother was frightened and jumped off the Cold Lizard and started running backwards, trying to get into the woods.
The riders of the Thorn Family followed suit, jumping off their Cold Lizards and beginning to flee.
Darkus stood up with the help of the Soul Eater stuck in the saddle, and shook his head at the scene in front of him. He was a little confused and couldn't understand it, so he asked the big guy to order the group of cold lizards to separate.
As soon as a battle breaks out, the high-level beast sorceress in the sky will control the two manticores to fly away. In the eyes of the Duruchi nobles, the manticores are a powerful fighting force, but in the eyes of Daxus, bringing these two manticores is completely redundant. When the manticores see the battle below, they will lose control and dive down directly to join the battle. The scene will become even more chaotic, and all the cold lizards will besiege the manticores.
The Thorn Clan's cold lizards obediently separated. Thun, a single lizard, fought a thousand. He leaped past the Thorn Clan's cold lizards and past the still-running brother Walter. Thun didn't choose to slash and spin to draw out his Soul Eater. His Soul Eater was too long, and there was no leash or shield behind the spear tip. He held the Soul Eater horizontally with both hands, and the half-meter-long spearhead pierced directly through the rider's black steel armor, overcoming the impact, and the Soul Eater burst through the rider's body.
With excitement on his face, Toon adjusted the tip of his spear and stabbed a rider's neck along the gap in the armor. The huge impact force caused the rider's watermelon to separate directly. He adjusted the tip of the spear again, and accompanied by wild laughter, the tip of the spear pierced through the back of another rider. His Soul Eater was hanging with two Druki and could not move, so he abandoned the Soul Eater, took out the leaf hammer and started smashing it.
"Walter! Go and accept your fate! This is fate's gift!"
Watt nodded and rushed out. He was getting closer and closer to his brother. He shouted, "Brother!"
Walter's brother stopped and looked at Toon, who was standing in front of him. Toon held a blood-stained blade hammer in his right hand and waved it at him, signaling him to step back. Hearing the familiar shout, Walter's brother turned around in confusion. A blade hammer appeared in front of him, accompanied by a whistling sound, and hit him hard in the face.
Toon looked at Watt, an expression of surprise and admiration on his face inside the helmet.
The two brothers of the Takia family had been guarding Daquus the entire time. However, Ryan stood on the saddle curiously, watching the scene of the exploding watermelon. He tutted his lips and sighed, "If I remember correctly, Walter's leaf hammer..."
Before he could finish his words, Franais turned and looked at him, and the meaning was very clear: don't say anymore.
