51: The Cang Lei Cavalry Guards walking in the air!

“For the King! Kill—!”

Grom’s roar still echoed on the city wall, and the blood-red frenzy spurred by the Great Day Array had just ignited the eyes of the Goblin soldiers.

“Thud!”

A dull, heavy sound abruptly cut into the battlefield.

“Thud! Thud!”

Following closely were the second, third…

Dense and rhythmic, like the heartbeat of an ancient beast awakening.

This sound was heavy, perfectly synchronized, and carried an unparalleled might, instantly overpowering the Goblins’ roars and chaotic shouts on the city wall.

The stones of the city wall seemed to tremble slightly under this soul-stirring drumbeat.

Grom sharply turned his head, his single eye’s pupil contracting.

In his field of vision, the Infinite City army formation, which had been silent, was now completely boiling!

At the forefront, thousands of cavalry clad in azure armor charged ahead, their iron hooves trampling the earth, kicking up a sky full of dust.

Following closely behind were even larger, heavier infantry and archer formations.

They were like a war machine driven by precise gears; thousands of men in square formations moved in unison, exuding killing intent, converging into a massive, suffocating torrent of steel, with a clear objective—straight for the huge gap in the Goblin King City, which had just been blasted open by Bai Xiao, launching an overwhelming frontal charge!

“Enemy attack! It’s their main force!”

“Quick! Turn around! Target the ground ahead!!”

“Ballistas! Fire! Stop them!”

A Goblin general shrieked, trying to reorganize the defense.

Most of the ranged firepower on the city wall, in a panic, finally turned its direction, unleashing ballista bolts and various magic arrows onto the charging torrent of steel, with the most conspicuous and impactful cavalry cluster naturally being the first target.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!”

Giant armor-piercing ballista bolts shrieked through the air, streaking across the sky, aimed at Huo Jun and the Azure Lightning Cavalry Guard charging at the very front. Some enchanted arrows were also mixed in, attempting to impede the advance of this steel torrent.

Facing the whistling attacks, Huo Jun’s eyes narrowed.

“Now! Azure Thunder—”

He yanked the reins, and the warhorse beneath him let out a high-pitched neigh, as if the power of wind and thunder gathered and erupted beneath its four hooves!

—“Tread the Void!!”

An incredible scene unfolded!

Clusters of pale green air currents simultaneously rose from beneath the horses’ hooves, treading on the air as if stepping on invisible stairs!

The Swallow Step characteristic was activated!

“What… what is that?!” On the city wall, a Goblin soldier rubbed his eyes, his voice trembling as he pointed forward.

The Azure Lightning Cavalry Guard formation, which had been running on the ground, was now treading on air… ascending!

Hooves treading the void, wind and thunder entwined! Four thousand riders, man and horse as one, electrical arcs leaping around them, transformed into a moving thundercloud, breaking free from the shackles of the earth, heading towards the huge gap in the Goblin King City, which had just been blasted open by Bai Xiao, launching a shocking—aerial charge!

“They… they’re flying?!”

“Cavalry… flying?!”

“Monsters! They are monsters!!”

Like legendary steeds treading on swallows, they bypassed the hastily arranged obstacles and firepower network on the ground from an inconceivable angle, like a flock of soaring raptors, aiming directly behind the city gate gap, where the Black Iron Guard was trying to establish a defensive line using the ruins!

“What?!”

Grom’s pupils on the city wall violently contracted; this was completely beyond his imagination! Cavalry… could charge like this?

Mid-air, thunder crackled around Huo Jun, and the energy condensed in his war spear almost materialized, with dazzling electrical arcs entwining it, forming a thunderous javelin that seemed capable of piercing mountains. His arm muscles bulged as he fiercely hurled it at the Black Iron Guard below!

“Thunder Rainbow Piercing Mountain Spear!”

A scorching white thunder rainbow tore through the air, trailing a brilliant light, carrying an extremely sharp whistling sound, and accurately smashed into the target!

“Boom!!”

The moment the javelin landed, it erupted into a giant spherical thunderstorm over fifteen meters in diameter! Violent electric snakes, like living creatures, frantically darted and lashed out in all directions!

The hundred Black Iron Guard at the center of the explosion didn’t even let out a whimper, being directly electrocuted into charcoal by the terrifying power of thunder, their heavy armor melting and deforming with them.

The Black Iron Guard in the larger surrounding area were also sent sprawling by the violent shockwave, their tower shields torn apart, their sturdy formation forcibly blown open, screams and the sound of equipment shattering mixing into a cacophony.

The Black Iron Guard were completely stunned by this sudden, devastating strike from above. Their proud defense seemed so fragile in the face of such an attack.

And this was just the beginning!

Just as the thunderstorm raged and the Black Iron Guard’s formation was in disarray, Huo Jun already raised his war spear, letting out an earth-shattering roar:

“Thunderous Charge!”

He led the charge, like a falling meteor, leading the four thousand Azure Lightning Cavalry Guard behind him, imbued with an unstoppable momentum of wind and thunder, swooping down from the sky!

Hooves trod the void, leaving trails of pale green air currents. The four thousand cavalry and their warhorses seemed to have completely merged into one, transforming into a surging, roaring, irresistible blue thunder waterfall, crossing the top of the dilapidated city wall, descending from the sky, and fiercely smashing into the Black Iron Guard’s position below, which had just been torn open by the “Thunder Rainbow Piercing Mountain Spear”!

“Boom—!!!”

This time, the colossal sound was even more muffled than the previous thunderstorm! As if the entire earth was trembling!

The Azure Lightning Cavalry Guard, like red-hot plowshares, violently plunged into soft soil, irresistibly piercing through the chaotic lines of the Black Iron Guard in a crushing manner!

“Pfft!” “Pfft!”

Lightning-flashing long spears easily penetrated the Black Iron Guard’s proud heavy black iron armor, each thrust bringing forth a spray of blood.

These Goblin elites didn’t even have time to make effective blocks or counterattacks before being directly impaled by the enormous kinetic energy from the high-speed charge!

Pale blue electric light raged and leaped through the Goblin ranks. The electrostatic field left by the Thunderous Charge paralyzed the lucky Goblins who hadn’t died, slowing their movements, and then they were trampled and impaled by the following cavalry.

In just one encounter, the Black Iron Guard’s defensive line was completely torn apart and penetrated! The formation instantly collapsed!

And at this moment, at the huge gap in the city gate, dull footsteps sounded like a drumbeat. It was the Infinite City’s infantry legion arriving.

They crossed the ruins, ignoring the scattered resistance and screams around them, marching with firm steps, like a torrent of steel, pouring into the Goblin King City. The real ground slaughter had begun…
