Chapter 1307: Chapter 123 Overlord Mercenary Group_3
Watching this orderly troop, Ling Ze sighed, "Mercenaries are getting more and more powerful nowadays. This is the first time I see the full strength of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group, and it’s terrifying. They might not even be at a disadvantage against our regular army! I wonder who dares to challenge them; I’m even more interested in this decisive victory."
At that moment, a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the north. Ling Ze’s expression slightly changed, and he focused his gaze in the direction of the sound. Before seeing anyone, a large cloud of dust was stirred up in the distance, dividing into nine straight lines heading towards Varo City. His expression changed, and with his background as a military officer, he understood that only a battle-hardened troop could keep their march-kicked dust so orderly; indeed, this was an extraordinary force daring to challenge the Special Class Mercenary Group!
The sound gradually became clearer. On the distant horizon, a troop slowly appeared. They did not move swiftly, but carried an imposing momentum. As they drew closer, Ling Ze saw clearly that it was a troop entirely composed of Heavy Cavalry, splitting into nine columns. Each column was led by a leader; the eight leaders of the columns on both sides wore blue Armor, and behind them were mercenaries in Black Armor, each marked with a clear red sign on the left chest—a simple king character, a blood-red ’king’ character. The leader of the central column of Heavy Cavalry was the most striking, wearing Golden Armor and a Red Cape, his appearance distinctly prominent and audacious among them. The nine columns of Heavy Cavalry brought an air of solemn killing intent.
Ling Ze roughly estimated; these nine columns of cavalry consisted of over a thousand men—yet, these were Heavy Cavalry! Ling Ze was very clear about what Heavy Cavalry meant; the equipment for one Heavy Cavalryman could sustain ten ordinary light cavalrymen, and the thick Armor they and their horses bore was a considerable expense. Furthermore, to bear such heavy Armor, both their horses and their own quality were impressive. Even in his own Varo City, there were only five hundred of such Heavy Armored Cavalry, but in terms of quality, they paled far in comparison to those before him. This steel division had already completely overshadowed the Moon Scar Mercenary Group in sheer presence. Were they something the Moon Scar Mercenary Group could contend with? Was this the Overlord Mercenary Group?
The Overlord Mercenary Group’s nine columns of cavalry numbered five hundred and fifty each, totaling thirteen hundred and fifty. When they came to a stop two thousand meters away from the Moon Scar Mercenary Group, a loud shout erupted, the Golden Armor warrior’s steed reared up, and the booming voice echoed clearly over the empty plains. Ling Ze blurted out, "Such profound strength."
The voice belonged to the warrior in Golden Armor and Red Cape. He and all his men raised their Weapons high, shouting loudly, "Victory, victory, victory." Their weapons, unlike ordinary ones, were polearms resembling Long Spears but with a thick blade measuring one and a half feet long instead of a spear tip—a clear instrument of attack.
Watching the high morale of the Overlord Mercenary Group, Ling Ze internally sighed. With such a powerful formation, perhaps a single charge could break through the light cavalry lines of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. It seems that today’s challenge of decisive victory might not bode well for Moon Scar. Ling Ze thought that it might be time to consider how to cooperate with the Overlord Mercenary Group.
The faction of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group fell into silence upon the appearance of the Overlord Mercenary Group, with a tense atmosphere condensing in the air, the great battle imminent. The Overlord Mercenary Group’s Golden Armor Red Robe warrior shouted loudly, urging his warhorse to charge alone towards Ling Ze, his figure streaking like a bolt of golden lightning. Although clad in heavy golden Armor, it did not impede his advancing speed at all.
As the Golden Armor warrior moved, Moon Scar also spurred his white horse, rushing from another direction. Soon, these two figures—one gold and one silver—had reached Ling Ze.
Getting closer, Ling Ze clearly felt the imposing figure of the Golden Armor warrior bearing down on him, his lengthy war sword angled towards the ground while the other hand slowly removed his golden Helmet.
That was a face full of dominance, his golden curly hair barely noticeable. Without even a glance at Moon Scar, he sternly said to Ling Ze, "You must be Lord of Varo City. I am the leader of the Overlord Mercenary Group, Overlord." His resonant voice left a deep impression on Ling Ze.
Ling Ze tried to maintain a calm expression, nodded, and replied, "Hello, Overlord, I am City Lord Ling Ze." He distinctly felt the powerful aura emanating from Overlord’s robust body, an aura incomparable to Moon Scar’s, bringing him a strong pressure, making him inwardly shiver. This leader of the Overlord Mercenary Group certainly was among the continent’s mightiest.
Overlord slightly bowed to Ling Ze and said, "Lord of the City, please allow me to lead the Overlord Mercenary Group to challenge the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. According to the rules, both sides will commence the battle of decisive victory under your command." Confidence filled his eyes; his crimson cape fluttered without wind on his back, posing like a war deity atop his horse.
