Swinging his double-bladed ax, Lu Yong struck out in fury, his killing intent, surging as he aimed directly at the cavalry leader.

Looking to cleave both man and horse in two.

Faced with such a powerful strike, the cavalry leader was alarmed.

Even his steed seemed frightened by this killing intent, winning in distress.

Realizing this, the cavalry leader quickly yanked on the reigns, controlling his mount to evade the attack while thrusting his spear forward, striking at the blade of the double-bladed axe.

This seemingly ordinary thrust carried a certain finesse, hitting the exact point where Luo Yong applied force, causing him to feel discomfort and diverting his attack away, resulting in a miss strike before Lu Yong could react.

Maintaining the thrusting position, the cavalry leader using the height advantage for being on horseback, charge down and aim to thrust at Lu Yong as throat.

You are the one who will leave your life behind.

An update is here.

Thanks to the book French and Chi-Chi for the reward.

At the same time, I suddenly discovered that I am on a new book ranking list, which seems to be a list that only new books released this month can appear on.

There is only this one opportunity until the first of next month, and the ranking is based on the number of chapter subscriptions.

What is surprising is that I'm actually in fourth place.

Previously, I was unknowingly threatening the third place with my performance, smirking.

To be honest, the top three are all big names and there s a significant gap between their achievements and my fourth place.

It feels like there is no chance to catch up, but thinking two negatively doesn't te seem good either.

So, I'm making a vow here raising a flag and asking for subscriptions.

If I can squeeze into the top three by the final ranking, I will work extra hard next month and add 10 more chapters.

End of this chapter.

Chapter 156.

The cavalry leader, the sharpened spearhead, emitted a chilling killing intent, directly targeting Luo Yong's throat, constituting a deadly strike.

At the critical moment, Lu Jang arrived just in time, swinging his ax to clash with the stone weapon, producing a dull thud.

In terms of strength, Lu Jang was certainly not as powerful as the naturally strong Luo Yong, but he was by no means weak at that moment.

The force feedback from the spear made the cavalry leader acutely aware of one thing.

In a contest of strength, he was absolutely no match for the man before him.

He decisively pulled back the stone spear.

Then, with a swift motion, launched a series of three rapid thrusts directly at Lu Jangs face.

One had to admit that the cavalry leader technique was indeed impressive, akin to a gazelle's antlers, elusive and unpredictable.

Fortunately, the person receiving the attack was Lu Jang.

Had it been Lu Yong, who was blinded by rage and somewhat lost his rationality, he would have undoubtedly been hit, perhaps even killed on the spot.

Taking two steps back, Lu Jang deafly maneuvered.

Using a defensive retreat to counter the three thrusts, he shouted, "Luo Yong, calm down.

This guy is not easy to deal with.

" Hearing this, Lu Yong gritted his teeth.

having already sensed this discomfort during their previous exchange.

The feeling was oddly familiar, yet he couldn't recall from whom.

At this point, Lu Yong did not act impulsively.

After adjusting his state, he decisively joined Lu Jang to launch a combined assault.

However, he did not expect the cavalry leader to be unexpectedly strong.

His style and aggressive tactics were completely the opposite of Luo Yongs, who was more straightforward.

With a stone spear in hand, the cavalry leader executed his attacks swiftly and viciously with a level of cunning that made it impossible to predict his next move.

Such an opponent made it difficult to defend against.

In a back and forth exchange, they fought for 10 rounds without managing to subdue the cavalry leader, who remained mounted.

There was no denying that this opponent was indeed powerful, exploiting their weaknesses.

After all, the high vantage point provided a significant advantage, allowing even the smallest flaw to be magnified several times.

Each strike from the stone spear left both men feeling extremely uncomfortable.

During this period, Lu Yong suffered the most.

Earlier, Gujan had mentioned that he relied too heavily on his strength and his technique was his weak point.

While such an aggressive style was unstoppable on the battlefield, encountering a skilled opponent of comparable strength made things difficult.

After another five rounds, the cavalry leader sees an opening.

Suddenly, his attack erupted, and the seemingly ordinary stone spear became like a ferocious beast in his hands, piercing directly into Luo Yong's shoulder in the blink of an eye.

The strike came too quickly for Lu Yong to defend with his heavy double-bladed ax.

But it wasn't over yet.

The cavalry leader continued his assault, suddenly exerting force with both arms, causing Luo Yong's shoulder to burst with a scarlet spray of blood.

Lu Yong, seeing the scene, Lu Jangs expression changed drastically as he executed a sweeping strike towards the cavalry leader on horseback.

After several rounds of combat, the cavalry leader had already realized that dealing with Lu Jang wielding the axe was much more challenging than with Lu Yong.

How could he not be on guard? In a split second, as Lu Jiangs axe attack approached, the cavalry leader quickly tightened his legs around the horse's belly, then exaggeratedly leaned back, causing Lu Jenangs strike to miss entirely.

As he rose, the cavalry leader smoothly pulled the spear from Luo Yang's shoulder.

Then with a sudden thrust, struck Lu Jiangs ax, forcing it aside and taking advantage of the moment, he released the res and with a loud nigh, fled the scene.

Lu Yong, are you okay? Looking at Luo Yangs shoulder, now completely stained with blood, Lu Jiangs pupils constricted.

The cavalry leader strike was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Even with the leather armor's defense, it had managed to injure Luo Yong to such an extent.

Meanwhile, on the high ground, Lu Gi saw the cavalry attempting to escape and quickly commanded the archers to fire two round of ollies.

However, he felt somewhat helpless.

The cavalry was clearly still immature and in his view could even be described as rudimentary.

Yet their agility and mobility were already beginning to manifest.

With no time to dwell on them, after symbolically ordering two rounds of vols, Lu Gi hurriedly directed the others to carry the injured into the Iron Wall tribe, shouting, "We're the medical team.

Get the herbs ready for treating wounds.

" "Hao set up a few tents for the injured.

" Lu Ji's mood was quite poor, all thanks to the sudden appearance of the cavalry.

He had witnessed Jeang Yishing fleeing with his remnants.

But at that time, his entire force was under the threat of the cavalry's charge, unable to stop it.

Where's Xiaoan? Hearing Lu G's call, Xiaoan, who was assisting in carrying the injured, quickly ran over, looking ashamed as he said, "My subordinates are incompetent.

Please punish me, chief.

We'll discuss this matter later.

First, check our casualty numbers and report back to me.

Also, instruct the construction team to expedite the repairs on the city gate.

" Yes.

After saying this, Luog hurried toward the medical department of the Iron Wall tribe.

Considering the trib's special location, he had initially assigned extra members from the medical department to be stationed here, but the scale of the casualties still left the entire medical team overwhelmed.

Chief, seeing Lu G approach, both Luo Yong and Gujun, who were bandaging their wounds, stood up.

Lu G raised a hand and turned to the medical team attending to the two, confirming their injuries before finally relaxing.

He then said to them for the next month, "Until your wounds heal, you two stay here and recuperate.

You don't need to worry about anything else.

" Upon hearing this, Lu Yong, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly became anxious.

He was counting on finding the cavalry leader for revenge.

No, Chief, it's just a minor injury.

It will heal in a few days.

No need for that long.

Minor injury.

Lu Gi glanced at the wound on Lu Yang<unk>s shoulder where the spear had practically made a hole in his shoulder.

The sight was truly alarming.

Could that be called a minor injury? Just focus on healing.

I'll have Xiao Pan keep an eye on you.

Lu G's tone left no room for argument, causing Luo Yong<unk>s expression to sour.

Moreover, the one assigned to watch him was Xiao Pan, who would never show him any mercy once given orders by the chief.

It was easy to imagine how miserable the next month would be.

The update is here thanks to book friends Lu Yu Bing and Ningong in off of their monthly votes.

End of chapter chapter 157 with malicious intent meanwhile on the other side the cavalry unit relying on its mobility advantage quickly distanced itself from the iron wall tribes camp.

Then their speed slowed down even for cavalry.
