Chapter 489: Pursuit
The human cavalrymen, whose eyes had already adapted to the night, squinted their eyes as they looked at the pale sky in the distance and the light overflowing from the horizon.
In this battle, Zhou Xu was mainly on the passive defense, persisting until this point, and then looking for opportunities to actively launch a counterattack after his vision was opened.
Unexpectedly, the entire planning process went much more smoothly than he expected.
No one knew what the opposing commander was thinking, he actually tried to interrupt their offensive by having the raptors charge the camp.
It’s not that this approach is not right. From the other party’s perspective, it is a feasible method, but it is too risky.
As it turned out, the opponent had fallen into the trap he had dug. The moment the opponent stepped into the "Skull Line of Defense", the opponent's retreat was basically cut off. It was like a combo. Once he was caught, unless Zhou Xu made a mistake himself, the possibility of the person being beaten to escape was really too small.
The lizardmen who were caught by Zhou Xu were unable to fully utilize their military advantage and were almost completely taken away by Zhou Xu's combo.
For the Lizardmen, this is undoubtedly the worst case scenario.
The lizardman messenger who had arrived with the retreat order turned pale in an instant when he saw the Great Zhou cavalry launching a group charge from afar.
He quickly turned back and reported the latest situation to Soros.
At that moment, Soros realized that the situation was hopeless and that he had basically failed.
The opponent's methods were far beyond his imagination. At this time, Gruul, as a general on the front line, should have taken the lead and gained some room for maneuver for him, the commander in the rear.
Unfortunately, he and Gruul lacked tacit understanding, and the opponent was too young. If he took a wrong step, there would be basically no victory.
Soros sighed and looked up at the sky. At this moment, he felt completely overwhelmed by a deep sense of powerlessness.
[Now it’s time to think about how to face the wrath of the high priest. ]
Even though the high priest had suffered a defeat in the battle with the Great Zhou army before, Soros did not dare to bring this matter up.
Now this matter has become a taboo. The high priest has become more and more irritable recently. If he dares to mention this, there is no guarantee that the high priest will kill him in anger.
At the same time, Gruul, covered in blood, fled in a panic with a group of dragoons.
I don’t know if it was because his subordinates recognized him as their leader and thought that their chances of survival were greater if they followed him, but many of them subconsciously followed him.
Now that's good, he has directly formed a certain scale.
You know, when you are fleeing for your life, forming a certain scale is not a good thing.
Because the other side has the mentality of destroying the other side's manpower as much as possible, they will definitely chase the enemy to where there are many enemies.
Sure enough, they were targeted.
Gruul cursed in his heart and was about to loudly remind them to evacuate, but at this moment, a whistling sound of wind suddenly came from behind him!
Gruul glanced out of the corner of his eye and just happened to see the elven knights who had activated the 'air barrier' and were charging forward at an accelerated speed!
This situation immediately doubled his pressure.
He had personally experienced the power of the 'Air Flow Barrier' during their previous fight. Gruul had never expected that the other party would directly use this ability to hunt them down!
Along with the surging air currents, the elven knights led by Silk caught up with an unstoppable momentum.
Unlike the centaurs and the Great Zhou cavalry who were charging with full momentum, the elven knights maintained their speed, and while passing by the velociraptors, they directly chopped off the heads of the velociraptors with their sharp silver-steel swords! They fully demonstrated the essence of the three words "fast, accurate and ruthless".
In the previous night's battle, due to the unfamiliarity with the environment, Silk and his men simply followed the main cavalry unit throughout the operation, focusing on conserving their strength.
This also makes them the core force to wipe out the remnants of the Lizardmen!
Listening to the exclamations and screams from his subordinates behind him, Gruul gritted his teeth. Their velociraptors had no speed advantage in this environment, and now they were entangled by the elven knights. How could they get away easily? While he was getting so annoyed, Zhou Chongshan had already caught up with them by using the 'air barrier' of the elven knights.
"Yo, are you running away?"
"!!"
At that moment, humiliation, anger, and all kinds of extreme emotions surged into his heart at the same time. Recalling everything that happened before, Zhou Chongshan's casual words were like a flame that fell on Gruul's powder keg and instantly detonated him! "You human!"
With a roar, Gruul maintained his riding posture, turned sideways and slashed directly at Zhou Chongshan who was chasing him.
Zhou Chongshan swept the spear in his hand and easily deflected his attack.
Then, he heard ancient tones coming from Gruul's mouth.
The moment they heard this voice, the fellow dragoon cavalrymen showed a hint of determination on their faces, and without any orders, they also shouted loudly.
At that moment, the blood in their bodies began to boil, and the original fear and anxiety disappeared at this moment, replaced by extreme excitement! Zhou Chongshan and his men were no strangers to this method of the Lizardmen.
In fact, when facing their group charge before, many dragoons launched this trick and tried to fight back desperately.
But this was obviously not enough for them to compete with the cavalry's group charge when they were trapped.
Needless to say, the result was obvious.
Now that Gruul has launched this move, he has undoubtedly given up hope of survival and only wants to avenge his previous humiliation before his death! "Come on! Fight me to the death!!"
Entering the "boiling blood" state, Gruul, who had already risked his life, roared and rushed towards Zhou Chongshan.
However, Zhou Chongshan remained calm and fought back with his gun raised.
"Leave this lizard man to me, and you go deal with the other velociraptors."
Thinking back to the previous fights, it was time for him and Gruul to fight to the death!
As he spoke, the crystal blade in Gruul's hand swung towards him again.
Seeing this, Zhou Chongshan stabbed out with his spear directly. His movements were swift and fierce. He used the tip of his spear to deflect the opponent's sword and neutralize the attack. At the same time, he swung at Gruul quickly, trying to knock him to the ground.
But after fighting all night, Zhou Chongshan's condition had obviously deteriorated. Gruul, who had gained the "Boiling Blood" enhancement, took his attack head-on, then directly withstood the attack and swung his sword at him again.
Zhou Chongshan had to admit that Gruul's fighting state was extremely brutal.
The opponent's fighting style originally involved some aggressive moves, and now under the influence of 'Boiling Blood', the range has become even greater.
This is not a good thing.
After several rounds of fighting, Zhou Chongshan saw an opportunity and thrust the iron spear forward, piercing Gruul's throat directly! The battle was over! (End of this chapter)
