184: Chapter 184 The First Battle Ends

The intensity of the wind and snow gradually weakened, but the shouts of killing on the battlefield still shook the heavens.

The pure white snow was stained with blood, and amidst the hot breath exhaled by nearly a thousand people and the trampling, it visibly turned into slush.

The vast battlefield was now divided into inner and outer zones; the inner zone was a killing ground for Totem Warriors and Spiritual Power warriors, while the outer zone was a meat grinder for ordinary Soldiers.

Every move and style of the transcendent beings' attacks carried immense power, causing the surrounding ordinary Soldiers to not dare to get even the slightest bit close.

Not long after Chief Lin Mu and Scott led reinforcements into the battlefield, Boris, having received an order from Prince Asa, rode his horse into the fray, his attack aimed directly at the two of them.

Watching Boris charge toward them from less than two hundred meters away, Scott said with a grave expression: "Chief, Boris is an intermediate Totem Warrior equivalent to a Silver Mid-Tier Knight."

"I have clashed with him many times before, and his strength is significantly greater than mine; it will take two people to resist him."

"Understood, I will support you." Chief Lin Mu instantly understood the meaning behind Scott's words and, without hesitation, released more Spiritual Power to manipulate the fine iron longsword in front of him.

Clatter, clatter, clatter—! With the sound of rapid, powerful hoofbeats approaching, in just a short moment, Boris rode his horse to right in front of the two of them.

Clang! The longsword that Chief Lin Mu manipulated with his Spiritual Power to attack was parried away by the spear tightly gripped in Boris's hand in just a single exchange.

The next second, Scott, who had vanished from his spot, flashed out from the sky. His giant axe, imbued with Spiritual Power, smashed down toward Boris directly below like a falling meteorite.

A cold glint flashed by, and the sound of metal clashing erupted. The spear Boris held horizontally above his head sank sharply, but he still firmly blocked the downward force.

On the other side, Chief Lin Mu quickly recovered from the shock of their first exchange, and the release of his Spiritual Power, mixed with special energy, increased once again.

A deafening humming sound echoed in the air, and an invisible, heavy force was instantly applied to the giant axe in Scott's hand. "Spiritual Power Conversion Enhancement!"

Feeling the immense force transmitted to his arms, Boris's expression changed slightly, but a cold look immediately appeared: "No matter what skills you use today, you will all die!"

Just as the cold words fell, the Black Wolf Totem hidden beneath Boris's clothes on his back instantly erupted with intense black light.

Terrifying power gushed out from within his body, his arm muscles bulged a size larger with a "pop," and then he exerted force violently. Scott, along with his giant axe, was instantly repelled and shot backward.

With a "bang," Boris leaped from the horse's back, his figure charging toward Scott like a cannonball.

"Not good!" Chief Lin Mu's expression changed instantly, and he drove his Spiritual Power to cast the Spiritual Power skill "Spiritual Quagmire" on Boris.

Boris, in mid-air, felt his body sink, but it only slowed him down slightly, and he maintained his pursuit.

However, in those few short moments, Scott, whose body had been somewhat out of control, once again mobilized his Spiritual Power to forcibly slam toward the ground. Just as his toes touched the ground, his body twisted violently, barely dodging the incoming attack from Boris.

After the brief first exchange, the three of them were entangled in a fight again, and the aftermath of their attacks caused the surrounding transcendent beings to automatically distance themselves.

Lister and his group, who were in a flanking position, occasionally expressed amazement. However, what they marveled at was not how strong their strength was, but the transcendent skills used by the few during the battle.

"Their transcendent powers are indeed novel, but that Boris's strength, I'm afraid, wouldn't last a few moves in Red's hands."

"Lord Lister, you flatter me. Your subordinate only has the advantage of realm; with your and Spartacus's strength, you would definitely be able to easily kill him as well."

Although there was an element of flattery in Red's humility, Lister just smiled and did not deny anything.

According to Chief Lin Mu's previous introduction, Boris was the strongest Totem Warrior in Prince Asa's army attacking Black Stone Fortress.

But after his detailed observation just now, he felt that Boris's strength was nothing special; he wouldn't say it would be easy, but he was confident he could indeed kill Boris.

Meanwhile, Spartacus, who was on the side, was already eager to move, wishing he could rush up and kill Boris right now, but he kept Lister's plan firmly in mind and dared not disobey it in the slightest.

Time passed minute by minute, and the mutual fighting on the battlefield entered a white-hot stage. If a powerful combatant were deployed into it at this time, it would be no different from a bomb that completely changes the war situation.

And the person who first deployed this "bomb" was Prince Asa, who had been watching the battle from the rear. Under his orders, an intermediate Totem Warrior led five primary Totem Warriors and quickly joined the battlefield.

Chief Lin Mu and the other two, who were originally evenly matched, were impacted by the intermediate Totem Warrior. With the addition of a high-end combatant on the battlefield, Boris's attacks suddenly became much easier.

Under the increased pressure, Chief Lin Mu and Scott soon fell into a disadvantage. Seeing this, Lister said with a calm expression: "It is time for us to make our move."

As his voice fell, the knights behind him, who had long been prepared, rode their horses into the battlefield like tigers descending a mountain.

The two intermediate Totem Warriors with slightly weaker strength who were fighting against the White Cat-Ear Tribe's intermediate Spiritual Power warrior were supported and confronted by Aier Sidi and Sejin respectively.

Red joined the intense battle between Chief Lin Mu's side and Boris's side, with the sole purpose of taking down that newly arrived intermediate Totem Warrior.

As for Lister and Spartacus, they maneuvered through the battlefield, supporting those White Cat-Ear Tribe transcendent beings and Soldiers who were at a disadvantage.

The sudden appearance of their group instantly reversed the situation of the entire battlefield, and the scales of victory quickly tipped toward the White Cat-Ear Tribe side.

"Damn it! Knights!" "How could the White Cat-Ear Tribe have knight reinforcements!"

Prince Asa, in the rear of the battlefield, noticed this scene immediately, and the confident smile on his face instantly turned into full-blown rage.

He immediately turned his head to look at the man beside him dressed in brown magical beast leather armor and sternly questioned: "Malachi, why didn't you scout this information? Are you an idiot?"

The questioned intermediate Totem Warrior Malachi, although his face looked ugly, had no power to refute. His main responsibility was to scout enemy military intelligence; if it were just the tribal reinforcements brought by Chief Lin Mu, it would be easy to explain.

But he had not scouted the unfamiliar faces of Lister and the other knights at all; strictly speaking, it was a major dereliction of duty.

With feelings of annoyance and suspicion, he did not hesitate at all, immediately kneeling on one knee and bowing his head toward Prince Asa. "Prince Asa, this is my dereliction of duty. I am willing to accept your punishment, but please give me another chance."

"I will definitely scout the information about those people as soon as possible!" "You had better do it!"

Prince Asa said coldly, not continuing to pursue Malachi's dereliction of duty. He also knew in his heart that some time ago, the White Cat-Ear Tribe had conducted a thorough internal investigation for traitors within the tribe.

Even the undercover agents they had arranged to hide deep within, who had half the bloodline of the Black Wolf Tribe, were exposed during the investigation and had to flee back early.

And the reason they could investigate so quickly was, first, because the White Cat-Ear Tribe, compared to other tribes, did not have much hybridization in their clansmen's bloodline, and their cohesion was relatively strong. Second, it was because of the White Cat-Ear Tribe's powerful Spiritual Power, which fused special transcendent energy, that could help them easily identify unusual people and things.

It was precisely because of this point that the Black Wolf Tribe's usual undercover intelligence-stealing methods could not be well executed. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to fight for so many years without having conquered the White Cat-Ear Tribe.

After a "friendly" exchange between superior and subordinate, Prince Asa and Malachi could no longer continue to sit tight. They immediately led the remaining primary Totem Warriors who had been on standby and rode their horses to charge toward Lister's team.

In less than a few breaths, Prince Asa's side rushed to the front of Lister's team. Facing their charge, Lister, Spartacus, and the other knights remained expressionless, equally tightening their grip on their weapons and riding their horses to charge against them.

"Court death!" Seeing Lister's team dare to charge head-on, Prince Asa's expression became very cold and stern. Although his words were somewhat contemptuous, his eyes were full of seriousness and caution.

As a tribal prince with rich combat experience, his strength was not something spoken of with his mouth, but something fought for with real swords and guns. Therefore, possessing high military literacy, he understood the principle that arrogant Soldiers will be defeated, so he took every battle very seriously.

At the same time, he could also perceive the powerful Dou Qi Energy aura emanating from Lister and Spartacus, which was not inferior to theirs in the slightest, and they must be equal to them in strength.

As for why he didn't think they were stronger than them? It was really because Lister and Spartacus looked too young. Even though they had become much more mature due to governing and managing their territory, they were at most only twenty-two or twenty-three years old.

To be able to reach a Silver Initial-Tier Knight at this age, such talent was already extremely terrifying, making Prince Asa, who was known as a genius, feel a bit jealous in his heart.

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to think that Lister and Spartacus were stronger than him. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Prince Asa let out a low shout like a beast's roar.

The Black Wolf Totem covered by the magical beast leather armor on his back immediately flickered with black light. A powerful transcendent force gushing out from the depths of his body instantly swept through his entire body.

Rapid hoofbeats rang out in succession. In a blink of an eye, the four people and four horses rushed to the front of each other, and the explosive sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out.

Prince Asa, who was fighting with Lister, suddenly felt his tiger's mouth go numb, and his expression changed violently. "How is this possible!"

Known for his great strength since childhood, after coming into contact with Totem cultivation, his strength was much stronger than Totem Warriors of the same realm. Even knights of the Pedan Kingdom, as well as transcendent beings of some other races, he could firmly suppress them in strength.

But now, after just one exchange, he had clearly fallen into a disadvantage, even though he had only used seventy percent of his power. In contrast, Lister remained calm, like it was nothing.

The huge sense of disparity made Prince Asa feel very angry. He immediately stimulated all the Totem Power in his body, and a black light with a strong sense of oppression instantly covered the surface of his body.

"Die, human knight!" The spear in his hand now seemed to have the force of ten thousand jun, sweeping heavily toward Lister in front of him.

Lister's eyes narrowed slightly, the Fighting Spirit Seed in his body accelerated its operation, and the Dou Qi Energy, like lake water, instantly spread over his whole body.

The next second—the long spear in his hand swept forward like lightning, forming a brief, small vacuum zone. Boom—!

A sound of metal clashing, similar to a thunderstorm, rang out. Prince Asa's prideful strength was easily blocked in front of him by the recoil of Lister's long spear.

No matter how much force Prince Asa exerted, the spear could not advance even half a point, and an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face.

At this moment, a shrill wail suddenly sounded from the battle area where Red was not far away. Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to it, only to see the long spear in Red's hand accurately piercing the heart of the man he was fighting.

In an instant, Prince Asa's side all showed expressions of shock, while Lister and the others curled their lips slightly. The intermediate Totem Warrior supporting Boris—was dead!

From the beginning of the battle between the two sides just now until now, less than five minutes had passed, and an intermediate Totem Warrior had actually died so easily.

Facing this sudden visual and psychological impact, the fire of anger in Prince Asa's mind was instantly extinguished.

He knew that the White Cat-Ear Tribe was no longer the small fry that could be manipulated at will, but a fierce beast that could bite back at them. Especially the mysterious Lister team supporting the White Cat-Ear Tribe, whose strength was even more powerful than he had expected.

In today's hard battle, their side had no hope of winning, and they had to retreat quickly, otherwise the losses would be even greater.

Weighing the pros and cons, Prince Asa waved his spear and swept it across the void, and an energy slash condensed from Totem Power shot violently toward the Lister team in front of him.

The moment the energy slash was fired, he didn't even look at it, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran wildly toward the rear. As he ran, he shouted loudly: "Everyone retreat!"

The voice spread across the entire battlefield at an extremely fast speed. The fastest to react were Malachi and the other Totem Warriors who followed him. When he had not run a few steps on his horse, they rode their horses and followed him.

Then it was Boris and the other Totem Warriors on the battlefield, and finally the ordinary Soldiers.

Lister, who had easily blocked Prince Asa's transcendent skill, did not chase after him with Spartacus and the others. The current direction of the war situation was exactly the same as he had planned before, so there was no need to entangle and pursue further.

On the other side, Red, who was supporting Chief Lin Mu and Scott, after killing that intermediate Totem Warrior, pretended to be tired and did not continue to pursue.

Seeing Boris's fleeing back, although Chief Lin Mu and the other two felt very sorry, they knew they couldn't keep Boris, so they didn't dwell on it too much. One must know how to be content!

Today's battle was already the best result in the war between their White Cat-Ear Tribe and the Black Wolf Tribe in recent years.

The subsequent cleanup was very easy. The Soldiers' pursuit killed many of Prince Asa's army Soldiers, but under Chief Lin Mu's orders, they did not pursue deeply. After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, everyone returned to Black Stone Fortress accompanied by a burst of excited laughter.
