However, after the pocket formation encircled, a tall Swedish Warmblood broke through the crowd.
On its back, a heavily armored knight brandished a two-handed greatsword, stabbing and slashing. Anyone daring to block was slain within a single turn!
Now Bai Puâs riding skill had reached Advanced Level 3 (Limit Breaker +1), able to leverage the impact of his warhorse and the advantage of height to amplify the power of his strikes.
From a data perspective, during the horseâs charge, Bai Puâs ordinary attacks gain a 10%~20% power boostâlimited by the horseâs quality.
If the mount were stronger, capable of withstanding Bai Puâs high-intensity force, this boost could reach up to 30%!
But for now, it was enough; dealing with outer-layer ordinary template soldiers, just a graze would wound, a touch would kill!
Behind Bai Pu, a pack of ferocious demon dogs closely followed, lunging and tearing at the Denmark soldiers whose formation Bai Pu had disrupted.
Further back, the slower-moving Mutant Legion, less than two thousand strong, under Bai Puâs leadership, formed a razor-sharp arrowhead aiming to pierce through the Denmark armyâs pocket formation.
These mutants were bolstered by the A-level title Bai Pu wore: Legion Commander. As direct subordinates, they received an attribute boost equivalent to 10% of Bai Puâs own attributes!
Specific boosts included: 9 points in Power and Endurance, 5 points in Agility and Spirit.
The 28-point attribute bonus effectively increased the mutantsâ attributes by one and a half levels, making them feel invincible against Denmark soldiers.
"They must be stopped; destroy the arrowhead of their formation!"
Under General Rudolphâs loud command, Imperial Guard soldiers raised their shields and spears, assuming a well-trained stance to meet Bai Puâs charge.
Their response was met with a terrifying fan-shaped Sword Qi spanning seven to eight meters in radius, and over ten meters in length.
[Volcanoâs Face - Bombing - Mountain Collapse and Earth Split]!
The first row of elite-level Denmark Imperial Guard soldiers, facing this extremely sharp fan-shaped Sword Qi, felt an immense pressure as if their hearts were being gripped tightly, nearly suffocating.
Apprehensive of impending doom, they activated damage absorption shield skills, hoping their shields and armor could withstand the strike.
However, this was a self-created Mystical Arts skill based on the top-grade art [Shattering Mountain], which had armor-tearing and shield-ignoring effects!
Time on the battlefield seemed to slow, the noise ceased.
The Denmark Imperial Guard soldiers of the first row watched as the edge of the Sword Qi slowly advanced and swept across.
Shields and shields provided no protection; they felt their bodies lighten as they appeared to fly through the air as if riding the clouds.
The bodies of the first row Denmark Imperial Guard soldiers were effortlessly cleaved in two at the waist, blood and organs spilling profusely!
This Sword Qi constituted an area attack; although the first row of soldiers absorbed some of its power, the remaining force still swept across the second, third row...
The previously neat Imperial Guard spear and shield formation was neatly sliced into a clean fan shape by Bai Pu in one swing.
The soldiers in the subsequent rows, positioned at the edges of the Sword Qi, were severely injured if not killed, and for a time, their cries of agony echoed throughout.
Bai Pu, leading the Mutant Legion, trampled over the remnants of the limbs and rushed towards the rear of the Imperial Guard formation, directly aiming for General Rudolph.
Some mutants, unable to resist their thirst for flesh, picked up severed limbs and chewed vigorously, rendering the scene hellish.
The morale of the Denmark army plummeted.
Unlike the Mutant Legion, whose morale remained constant with the commands of their superiors being absolute.
They felt fear, ran away, and disobeyed orders!
A panic began to spread; some soldiers came from the local Denmark forces, mere farmers who had just set down their hoes a few days ago, dropping their weapons and fleeing in terror at Bai Puâs might and the mutantsâ ferocity.
The retreat of the enemy soldiers even instigated some Imperial Guard soldiers to escape as well.
"Boas! Take command for me."
General Rudolph, mounted on his black warhorse, leveled his lance, issuing the command in a deep voice.
Boas, his adjutant, realized what Rudolph intended and quickly said, "General, stay to command, let me lead the personal guards to the front!"
"Your strength falls short." General Rudolph clasped the visor of his helmet, his voice echoing through the metal mask, "On this battlefield, only I, âIron Wallâ Rudolph, can stop him!"
Rudolph charged forward on horseback.
As a heavy cavalryman, a full-force charge was fearsome, akin to a heavy truck hurtling towards Bai Pu.
Bai Pu had already analyzed him with [Nine Chapters].
["Iron Wall" Rudolph (Enhanced Leader Level 6)]
[Species: Humanoid Species/Human Race]
[Profession: Shield Armor Cavalry Commander]
[Attributes: Power 75, Agility 45, Endurance 90, Spirit 30]
[Skill 1: Iron Wall: Passive, Rudolph gains a fixed (45) point physical damage reduction. Actively activate Iron Wall to increase Rudolphâs armor by (60) points, lasting 600 seconds.]
[Skills 2~6: Lance Charge, Shockwave, ???]
At full speed, the tip of Rudolphâs lance resembled a massive blood-red meteor hurtling towards him!
Lance Charge!
Bai Pu reined his horse and swung his sword, infused with Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts, clashing head-on without any flourish.
With a thunderous boom, the collision of their blood fighting qi caused an intense shockwave, transparent ripples forming a storm that swept away.
Bai Puâs warhorse, beneath him, reeled slightly, taking two steps back. This was a normal method of force dissipation, reducing rebound damage.
Rudolphâs lance charge, with its momentum, was blocked, as if crashing head-on into a towering wall, a mountain!
The counter-shock damage to him and his horse was greater because he couldnât step back to dissipate the force.
Yet Rudolphâs expression remained unchanged; with his left hand, he plucked a heavy shield from the saddle and slammed it down.
A wedge-shaped shockwave spread out.
Bai Pu also slammed down a shield, countering with a desperate gamble of a blood-colored shockwave, neutralizing the shockwave before him.
However, the shockwave was a widely ranged skill, and Bai Pu could only block the small area directly in front of him.
On both flanks, under the shockwaveâs impact, the mutants were all stunned.
Rudolphâs personal guards charged up shouting, encircling Bai Pu in a fierce attack!
Swish!
Bai Puâs Blood River Territory suddenly unfolded, and under the vast surge of blood-red Phantoms, Rudolphâs personal guards felt as if they had sunk into a quagmire, their movement speed greatly diminished, leaving only a few struggling to move, but posing no threat to Bai Pu.
Even Rudolph himself was in a perilous situation.
In the first two engagements, he and Bai Pu had been on equal footing because he had relied on his skillsâ power.
Bai Puâs Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts was powerful precisely because it had no skill cooldown time; as long as the fighting qi consumption kept up, it could maintain a terrifying output efficiency!
Most importantly, Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts completely countered General Rudolph, who excelled in defense and had extremely high armor!
