NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 51: Massacre of the Bandit Alliance
"Fire again! Free shots!"Liu Long roared at the top of his lungs. Instantly, the sound of arrows shooting filled the air, their rate of fire even faster than a volley of coordinated shots.On the frontlines, the charging mountain bandits slammed into what seemed like an impenetrable iron wall. At a distance of one hundred paces, bodies fell in waves, each arrow piercing through two or three men. The scene was nothing short of brutal.
The young girl in Ronald's arms, clinging to him atop the unicorn, stared in shock. Throughout her escape, she had witnessed battles between humans and the otherworldly, often resulting in mutual destruction or victory for the invaders. But the massacre unfolding before her eyes? She never imagined such one-sided slaughter.And she wasn't the only one stunned. The other refugees could hardly believe what they were seeing. Was this really the human army? Were these not heavenly soldiers sent to save them?At just one hundred paces, the mountain bandits were walking straight into a death trap. In moments, over two thousand of them had fallen.If these were human soldiers, they would have already broken and fled.But the invaders were different. The brutal carnage only seemed to fuel their rage. Without a command from their leader, they charged forward with bloodshot eyes, roaring as they rushed toward the royal guard's position.
One hundred paces!Eighty paces!Fifty paces!
Arrows continued to rain down, but the distance between the two forces had shrunk to fifty paces.Ronald could clearly see the twisted expressions on the faces of the invaders."Charge! Humans are weak in close combat—get in there and wipe them out!"A shout rang out from among the invaders, and their frenzy intensified.
The gap closed rapidly.Ronald gently set the girl down in his arms and nodded at Fan Qingyue beside him.Fan Qingyue shouted, "Jiang Ren, Wang Ping! Get the refugees back!"An elderly man and a young one immediately lifted the girl and her brother, shouting commands to the civilians in the camp.
Ronald's blade pointed forward, his voice like thunder. "Battle!""Tiger!"
The royal guards roared as over two hundred elite cavalry, fully armored, charged forward like a storm.In the blink of an eye, the battlefield became a slaughterhouse.The royal guards' combat prowess was unmatched, and the mountain bandits were utterly powerless to resist.As soon as they clashed, hundreds of bandits were cleaved to the ground.
Aqiang and Cuihua led the charge. These two colonial warriors, both at the third level of the Body Refining Realm, cut through the bandits like tigers in a flock of sheep.Aqiang swung his Guan Gong Blade in a wide arc, reaping a bloody harvest as his blade swept through the bandits. Those in his wake were reduced to a nightmare of carnage.Cuihua, recently promoted, wielded a mysterious long spear (found in the mist), her battle armor matching her prowess. She fought with lightning speed, and wherever her spear struck, death followed.On the other side, Liu Long and Zhang Tie were just as ferocious, cutting down bandits with wild slashes of their swords, limbs flying and blood spraying in the air.
"It's impossible! This can't be real!"The leader of the earth demons, watching from the rear, trembled in disbelief as he observed the human soldiers slaughtering his kin."Weren't the humans supposed to be weak in close combat? Why... why are they so strong?"The Iron Wolf leader, his eyes bloodshot, growled, "Boss, these humans are well-equipped and powerful. If we don't do something, my men won't last!""Then let's charge them all at once and finish them off!""Good! We'll do it your way!"The earth demon leader bellowed, "Brothers, charge! Let's wipe out these scum!""Kill!!!"
With a roar, the rest of the bandits surged forward, shouting for blood.
