Chapter 504: Chapter 123 Overlord Mercenary Group_3
Looking at this neatly arranged team, City Lord Ling Ze sighed, "The mercenaries nowadays are becoming more and more powerful. This is the first time I’ve seen the full strength of the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps, and it’s far more horrifying than I expected. Even when confronting our regular army, they might not necessarily be at a disadvantage. I really wonder who has the audacity to challenge them, but it does make this must-win challenge all the more interesting."
Just then, the thunderous sound of horse hooves resonated from the north. Ling Ze’s face slightly changed as he intently looked in the direction of the sound. Even though the people were not yet visible, a cloud of dust was already being whipped up from afar. The dust cloud split into nine paths, heading straight for Varo City. Ling Ze’s face changed again, as a former military commander, he understood that to keep marching dust of a team in such an orderly manner, this must be an elite team of seasoned veterans; The kind of team brave enough to challenge a Special Class Mercenary Group was indeed extraordinary!
The sound grew clearer and on the horizon, a troop gradually emerged. Although the troop was not moving very quickly, their imposing power was undeniable. As they neared, Ling Ze could clearly see that this troop was entirely composed of Heavy Cavalry. The troop, like the dust they kicked up, was divided into nine lines. At the front of each line was a leader, the eight Heavy Cavalry leaders on both sides wore blue armor while behind them, the mercenaries wore black armor. On each person’s left chest there was a clear red symbol, a simple but blood-red ’King’ character. The leader of the central Heavy Cavalry was the most conspicuous, he was dressed in golden armor and draped in a large red robe. His appearance and attire were so audacious among the troops. The nine lines of Heavy Cavalry brought with them an intimidating atmosphere.
Ling Ze estimated that these nine lines of cavalry composed about a thousand men. However, these were Heavy Cavalry! Ling Ze understood very well what that meant. The equipment of a single Heavy Cavalryman was enough to support ten ordinary light cavalrymen. Just the heavy armor covering them and their horses was a substantial investment, let alone the quality of the men and horses that could bear such heavy armor. Even in his own Varo City, there were only five hundred such heavily armored cavalry, and as for the quality, it fell far short compared to the ones before him. Merely in terms of power, this iron-blooded force has wholly suppressed the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps. Is the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps capable of facing them? Are these the Overlord Mercenary Group?
Each of the nine lines of cavalry in the Overlord Mercenary Group consisted of one hundred and fifty men, totaling one thousand three hundred and fifty people. They stopped when they were two thousand meters away from the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps. A shout resounded, the golden armored soldier’s horse reared its front hooves high, the loud voice was so clear in the open plain. Ling Ze exclaimed, "What profound strength!"
The voice belonged to the warrior in the golden armor and red robe. He, along with all his subordinates, raised their weapons in unison, loudly chanting, "Victory, victory, victory." Their weapons were unusual, wielding halberds that somewhat resembled long spears, except the spear point was a foot-and-a-half long thick blade at the end. It was clear they were designed for attacking.
Looking at the high spirits of the Overlord Mercenary Group, Ling Ze sighed inwardly. Such a robust lineup, perhaps a single charge could break through the light cavalry of the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps. It looked like the chances of winning the challenge today were slim for the side of the Moon Scar. Ling Ze thought, it seemed like it was time to consider how to cooperate with the Overlord Mercenary Group.
The Moon Scar Mercenary Corps had fallen silent at the appearance of the Overlord Mercary Group, the air thick with tension and the imminent battle between both sides was on the verge of starting. Upon the Overlord Mercenary Group’s golden armored soldier’s commander shout, he spurred his horse and charged towards Ling Ze alone. His figure was like a flash of golden lightning, despite wearing heavy golden armor, it didn’t impede his speed.
As the golden armored soldier advanced, Moon Scar also made his move, spurring his white horse and sprinting from another direction. Soon, the distinct flashes of gold and silver were before Ling Ze.
Upon getting closer, Ling Ze could clearly feel the pressure emanating from the golden armored soldier’s towering stature. His twelve-foot-long battle saber was diagonally pointed towards the ground, and he slowly removed his golden helmet with his other hand.
He had a face full of dominance, golden curls slightly bouncing. Without so much as looking at Moon Scar, he said to Ling Ze in a low voice, "You must be the City Lord of Varo City. I am the commander of the Overlord Mercenary Group... Overlord." His booming voice left a deep impression on Ling Ze.
Ling Ze tried to maintain a composed expression, nodding, "Hello, Commander Overlord, I am the City Lord of Varo City, Ling Ze." He could clearly sense the overpowering dominance emanating from the towering physique of Overlord, something that Moon Scar could not compare with. The immense pressure gave Ling Ze chills. This commander of the Overlord Mercenary Group could surely be counted among the strongest on the continent.
Overlord respectfully said to Ling Ze, "Honorable City Lord, I am requesting your permission for me and my Overlord Mercenary Group to challenge the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps. According to the rules, both sides under your command will commence the must-win group battle." Confidence filled his eyes, his scarlet cloak fluttering against no wind, making him appear like a god of war atop his horse.
