Chapter 807: The Cruelty of the Battlefield

Blood Pool was quite strong; after chasing after them, he killed the Mongol cavalry in just a few moves before returning triumphantly.
Xu Jun was slightly weaker. After witnessing the strength, speed, and reflexes of the Mongol cavalry, he became more cautious. He pursued them while avoiding direct confrontations, using his agility and varied tactics to slowly drain the cavalry’s life force. It took him half a minute to end the battle.
The weakest among them was the red-clothed woman, “Spicy Girl.”
Although Xiao Yuyan had prevented the Mongol cavalry from escaping, Spicy Girl failed to realize her own advantages. After repeated defeats in direct battles, she almost lost confidence in fighting.
“Are these really cavalry? Their strength is that of a master at the Wuwei realm…” The red-clothed woman’s palms hurt as she pursued them, shouting in shame.
“Getting these 10 points really isn’t easy.”
Xu Jun stood still, his gaze flickering as if deep in thought.
Blood Pool rushed forward at full speed:
“Hesitating? Let me do it!”
By then, Xu Jun, Kai Xin, and Xiao Yuyan had already realized that the red-clothed woman couldn’t kill a single Mongol cavalry on her own. Frowning, they silently agreed to let Blood Pool intervene.
With experience from before, Blood Pool used less than ten moves to inflict gruesome wounds on the Mongol cavalry, claiming another 10 points.
“Can’t even handle a Mongol cavalry, yet still dares to take missions deep into enemy territory…” After receiving the system prompt, Blood Pool snorted disdainfully, passing by the pale-faced red-clothed woman and returning to the group.
Then, the system prompted again:
“The mission to hunt patrolers is complete—10% progress toward the reconnaissance mission milestone…”
But obviously, the red-clothed woman didn’t receive the prompt because she hadn’t killed a single patrol cavalry herself.
“You’d better leave.”
As the team leader, Xu Jun stepped forward in front of the red-clothed woman under the silent gaze of the other three. “If you can’t even deal with Mongol cavalry, it’s hard for you to earn points. Leave now. Even bringing you along won’t benefit us at all.”
“…”
The red-clothed woman’s face turned pale, but she had no words to retort.
She had thought the Mongol cavalry would be easy to deal with, but it turned out otherwise. Their strength far exceeded her expectations—ordinary people simply couldn’t withstand them.
…
By the time the red-clothed woman left the group, countless players on the grassland where the two armies faced off had already left the border in disappointment…

They joined the battle earlier than the women in red and came into contact with the Mongol cavalry sooner as well!
A people who live on horseback, enduring extremely harsh conditions year-round, they find entertainment in fighting, wrestling, martial contests, archery, and horsemanship.
Their martial spirit is fierce.
Though lacking the systematic training of the martial artists from the Central Plains, they train daily in the army and even fight against tigers and leopards…
Each of them possesses remarkable strength!!
They have rich combat experience!
When facing the masters of the Central Plains martial arts, although they have shortcomings, on horseback and on the battlefield, it is the cavalry who truly reign supreme.
The masters of the Central Plains, accustomed to fighting on flat ground, immediately realized something was wrong upon first contact!
Some of the weaker ones were simply blown away by an axe or sword strike—the immense force crushing their bones…
Many were killed with a single slash, unable even to hold their weapons properly.
Tens of thousands of martial artists who attacked the enemy cavalry’s flanks were like fragile pieces of paper, easily torn apart and crushed by just a few thousand cavalrymen!
The powerful cavalry assault made them understand what a death grinder truly is!
The cavalry’s charges, with their precise and skillful sword strikes, could determine life and death in an instant—even with just a slight advantage…
Some tried to knock the cavalry off their horses using hidden weapons.
But the range of these weapons was limited, and the cavalry’s armor covered them completely…
Even if a small number of Mongol cavalry were accidentally knocked down, it was a negligible loss!
……
Boom!!!!
The sound of hooves thundered as the cavalry rushed in like sharp cones, piercing through the Central Plains warriors fighting among themselves.
Cries of shock and screams of pain filled the air.
“Retreat!!”
In some part of the grasslands, bloodshed reigned supreme! Tens of thousands of soldiers were scattered across the grasslands, fleeing in different directions, only to be mercilessly slaughtered by tightly organized groups of Mongol cavalry.
“Swords! Spears! Arrows! Form up with me to hold off their attack—everyone else, retreat!!!”
In one direction, a small group gathered together and retreated in an orderly manner…
But everyone in the group looked grim:
Especially Baolong!
This time, of the over 130 brothers under his command, sixteen were lost in the blink of an eye, and almost everyone else was injured. In the chaotic situation, they could hardly control the situation at all.
In the first wave of attacks, tens of thousands of soldiers along with 2,000 infantry were completely scattered and defeated by just a few thousand Mongol cavalrymen…
This wasn’t a battle!
It was pure, one-sided slaughter!!!

“A group of cavalry is coming at us!” Amidst the cries of alarm, the Tyrannosaurus growled in fury, “Everyone retreat to the back, heal and restore your strength, and fight in a circular formation!” The real battle had just begun now.
…
On the first day of turmoil at the border, the system made countless players experience the brutality of the battlefield!
As countless dead players began to complain online, many players accused the system of overestimating the strength of the Mongol cavalry. Yet even more took pleasure in others’ misfortunes:
“Millions of elite warriors from the Central Plains are charging at the border battlefield—how could the enemy army be so easy to deal with?”
“That’s the Mongol cavalry! Not bandits or outlaws!”
Some even posted on forums images of martial artists retreating before battle, creating chaos for the Mongol cavalry…
Some ulterior-motived people suddenly retreated at the moment of conflict, trying to let others take the brunt of the first wave of attacks. As a result, the formation collapsed, leading to a one-sided massacre—no one could survive the onslaught of the cavalry.
The headlines were highly ironic:
“Is this what’s called a battle?”
“Martial artists might be strong in one-on-one fights, but in the face of cavalry, you’re not even as good as an ordinary soldier!” Followed by an image of a pike soldier firmly attacking a Mongol cavalryman…
Such complaints quickly died down.
However, the horrors of the first day indeed disheartened many people, making them realize that they might not gain much in terms of points or benefits from the battlefield over a month.
Countless martial artists left the border and withdrew from the battlefield!
But more chose to stay.
Whether it was to fulfill their dream of glory on the battlefield, to refuse to be defeated by ordinary cavalry, or for greater ambitions, many martial artists remained, searching for a way through.
