"How is this possible?" Lei Bao's mouth opened wide. The charging Ma Yue and the spirit horse seemed to be protected by a halo. No matter whether it was arrows, flying spears, or even fire pots, they were all rejected within a distance of one meter around the spirit horse.
"Boom!" The unstoppable spirit horse crashed into the cavalry group. Yes, it crashed in. The spirit horse itself was powerful and its body was super large. When it crashed in, it was unstoppable.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" After just two rounds, Ma Yue shouted loudly with Lei Bao's head hanging on his bone staff.
Surrender or flee? Everyone has their own choice. How could a warrior from the pure Thunder God Tribe defect to the Sea Tribe that had killed their own High Priest and Chief?
Many of them were cavalrymen who had become attached to the Thunder God Tribe after being conquered by it. Attachment to the strong was a primitive instinct.
"There are too many!" Ma Yue frowned. The remnants of the Thunder God Tribe were gathering. This was not a good idea. The hidden dangers were too great.
"Old buddy! You can just pay them back and have some fun, haha!" Ma Yue jumped off the spirit horse.
"Chee-tu!" The spirit horse understood what he meant, spread out its hooves, and rushed towards the gathered cavalry of the Thunder God tribe.
A powerful spirit horse might not be defeated by a few martial arts masters, so what about the remnants of the Thunder God Tribe? Spirit horses have no habit of sympathizing with the weak, and they don't understand the concept of surrender without being killed.
Ma Yue had nothing to worry about, because Wangcai was still on the back of the spirit horse. The new skills that Wangcai had activated were enough to ensure that the spirit horse would not be ambushed.
Some special monsters, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, may develop some rare skills. For example, Wangcai, a protective spiritual shield, seems to be its instinct. Of course, it also consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
The most feared thing for spiritual cultivators was a large-scale flying attack; their spiritual weapons couldn't possibly be airtight. However, Wangcai's recent awakening of the spiritual shield skill allowed Ma Yue to charge with impunity.
Of course, Wangcai only has a martial artist-level spiritual shield. If he is really attacked by the King of Martial Arts, such a spiritual shield will not be able to stop him.
"You charlatan, many people have run away. There are about two thousand cavalrymen willing to join our Hai tribe." Xu Da was excited. The strength of the Hai tribe increased dramatically.
Without cavalry, the shortcomings are too serious.
"Any news about our tribe?"
"Yes, there's a valley in this great forest that's perfect for large groups of people. Most of our earlier arrivals were abducted by the Thunder God Tribe and taken to the Red River Valley..."
"It's good that we have someone to lead the way. Let's set off as soon as possible." Only two thousand cavalrymen were recruited, and the rest ran away. These scattered cavalrymen might become potential enemies of the Sea Tribe in the future.
Besides, this area is too small to be suitable for long-term residence. Since the Thunder God Tribe has a good place in this big forest, why should we be polite?
Since they had already become dependent on the Sea Tribe, the natives also began to move along with the Sea Tribe's main force.
"Among the forest coalition forces that attacked the Thunder God City area, there was the King of the Red River Valley. Oh, all the big tribes in this forest call themselves the king." Ma Han gradually told Ma Yue the inside story he had learned from the people who defected.
"The Forest Alliance didn't end well, and it continually depleted the strength of the major tribes. In fact, the major tribes in the Forest Alliance at the time were actually made up of many smaller tribes that were dependent on them. Later, the Red River Valley Tribe returned to the Great Forest, and only five or six hundred able-bodied men remained in the entire tribe."
Are five or six hundred people too few? In the early days, the main cavalry of Gray Wolf's Wolf God Tribe was only a thousand people.
"Back then, the Thunder God Tribe, led by Lei Ting, arrived in this forest and annihilated the severely weakened Red River Valley Tribe. The Thunder God Tribe then became the dominant force here. At that time, our Sea Tribe was still very powerful, and Lei Ting had no way of seeking revenge. So, he set his sights on Qiu Hai City to the north..."
"The Thunder God Tribe is quite lucky. They've also found the Fire Bird Tribe in the western forest of Qiuhai City. They've also incorporated the troops of the two smaller tribes surrounding the forest, greatly increasing the strength of the Thunder God Tribe..."
Afterwards, the unlucky Gray Wolf went there and was killed by thunder, and the Hai tribe lost Qiu Haicheng from then on.
Today, Qiuhai City is also covered in ice. The Thunder God Tribe has no choice but to abandon the territory of Qiuhai City and retreat into the forest again.
Not long after Lei Ting broke through to the King of Martial Arts, he rushed to the Hai Tribe to seek revenge and avenge his previous humiliation.
Is Ma Yue really so powerful that he can kill King Wu?
To put it bluntly, if Lei Ting could remain calm and cultivate steadily for a few more months, Ma Yue would have no chance no matter how capable he was.
Having just broken through to the Martial King level, Lei Ting was too impatient and rushed with his army from the big forest on the other side of Qiu Hai City, traveling thousands of miles to the big forest on the other side of Xiaoshan Valley.
Lei Ting's obsession was too deep, too long suppressed, and he desperately needed a chance to truly unleash it. Otherwise, why would he insist on personally fighting Ma Yue, despite having an absolute military advantage? Lei Ting wouldn't be satisfied unless he personally slew the obsession within him, Ma Yue.
Ma Yue's cultivation level was such that he had the ability to deal with the Martial King. If he sensed the instability of the Thunder Aura... Hadn't Ma Yue also injured the Martial King during his first battle against him? So, it was not as if Ma Yue was completely powerless against the Martial King.
In this battle with Lei Ting, the unstable Lei Ting gave Ma Yue just a fleeting and fatal opportunity. Ma Yue rushed in without hesitation and killed Lei Ting in one fell swoop.
In terms of combat experience, Lei Ting is far inferior to Ma Yue; in the application of combat skills, Lei Ting is also far inferior to Ma Yue; Ma Yue is still a master of artistic conception, with strong observation skills and the ability to seize opportunities.
In short, the outcome of a battle between masters is determined by many comprehensive factors, not just a simple comparison of strength and cultivation. Ma Yue, with his current cultivation level, wouldn't stand a chance against a more stable Martial King. With such a huge gap in cultivation, even if he just relied on attrition, he would be exhausted, Ma Yue.
During the battle with Lei Ting, Ma Yue felt the instability of Lei Ting's aura. He was very surprised to be able to kill Lei Ting in actual combat. This was also the first time Ma Yue killed a Martial King in actual combat, which was unimaginable.
Ma Yue felt that his victory was a fluke, something ordinary soldiers wouldn't understand. If the Sea Tribe's charlatan could kill the Thunder God Tribe's Martial King in a one-on-one fight, then wouldn't the Sea Tribe's charlatan also be a Martial King?
Ma Yue himself did not expect that such a rumor would later save him and the Hai tribe from disaster.
The Sea Tribe's troops marched for over a day and successfully reached the Red River Valley without encountering much resistance. Apparently, the Thunder God Tribe's main force hadn't returned.
Two days later, Lingma and Wangcai were found, with over a thousand horses following them. Don't forget, in the early days, when Lingma's cultivation was low, they were often followed by a group of "little brothers."
This time, Lingma chased down the direct cavalry of the Thunder God Tribe, and a large number of horses "surrendered" to Lingma. Countless direct cavalry of the Thunder God Tribe were killed by Lingma and Wangcai, and they could never become a force to be reckoned with again.
The Red River Valley is really big. It accommodates seven or eight thousand people who escaped from the Howling Valley earlier. The Thunder God Tribe also has many small dependent tribes here, so it is still very spacious.
