Chapter 159: Victory Over the Beastmen
Miss Wei, full of energy, tightly hugged my arm and jumped all the way to the arena with me! Unlike her, I was completely listless! It's been several days since I had a good sleep! And the reason is that I told her a story about the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden to help her fall asleep! Thus began my nightmare!
Mei, who almost never sleeps, comes to my bed every night to listen to stories and still can't get enough! There have been times when I was pestered by her for a whole night, like yesterday. I'm so distressed and frustrated! I swear that if I could turn her into an egg, I'd be willing to give away a divine artifact just to get rid of her!
Sitting on the sofa in the package room, I kept dozing off! Mei'er finally showed mercy and went to entangle my father, asking about my embarrassing stories when I was a kid! My father had always wanted a daughter, but my mother just wouldn't give him one. Xianya was quiet and gentle, which won his favor, while the mischievous Meier, he loved her even more! He told her all about how naughty I was in the past, one by one.
The king and Ishihara Kuma are whispering about betting! Just as they were about to ask for my opinion, the king furrowed his brow upon seeing my pitiful state and said, "Young one, it's fresh when you first experience it, but you also need to know restraint!"
What's going on?! What's with all this?!
"Yes! The child is still young, and the future is long ahead! But be careful not to raise a useless person!" Ishihara Kuma also said with a sarcastic tone!
"It's not what you think it is!" The poor Taoist roared!
"Isn't it? Did you guys tell stories all night?" The king laughed: "A young couple living together, not sleeping all night, telling stories? Haha! Do you take us for fools?"
"Really? If that's really the case! Haha! I'm afraid we'll have to question your abilities then!" Ishihara Kuma said with a chuckle.
It's over! I found that discussing such a serious issue with these two lower-half-of-body animals is really my mistake! I admit defeat, shut up!
"Haha! Good boy, knowing when to admit defeat and change. The king had a rare moment of acting like an elder in front of me! Although it was refreshing, he still didn't dare to offend me too much for the sake of his bet! Seeing that I was on the verge of exploding, he knew to stop while ahead and quickly changed the subject: 'We just received news that since you defeated the barbarians, no one is willing to bet against you anymore. The casino had to change its betting project... now they're betting on your casualty numbers!'"
It was probably due to the shock of the war with the barbarians that the mysterious appearance of the divine-level magic conductor and the unprovoked frenzy of many magical beasts made people firmly believe that even the powerful beastman wolf cavalry could not stop my victorious footsteps! The ranking battle of the Four Greats of the Continent actually ended after that duel! And now, this fight is more seen as a war of dignity for the Wolf Cavalry! The Seventh Princess has already spoken out, no matter what, she wants to break my myth of zero casualties and publicly put 500W yuan on herself!
After listening to Ishihara Kuma's account, I began to lower my head and think. Just as I had figured out the sequence of events and was about to speak, however, Mei'er, who had been eavesdropping on the side, beat me to it!
"These past few days, I've been hearing people talk about how formidable that princess is! If she's so clever, why would she make such a low-level mistake?" Mei'er asked with a puzzled expression.
"What mistake did she make?" The king asked with a puzzled face!
"If it were me, and I really had the confidence to win, I wouldn't go around broadcasting it to everyone. And on top of that, I'd pretend like I didn't have any confidence at all, so others would bet against me. That way, if I did win, I could get a ton of money!" Mei'er laughed as she explained.
It's really worthy of being a general star at the beginning, Meier's analysis is exactly the same as what I thought! At once, it can be seen that Seventh Princess is trying to cover up her mistakes!
"It seems reasonable!" The king asked me again: "What do you think?"
"I think so too, if she was really confident, she wouldn't be doing any promotion. And after these days of crazy betting, who knows how much she's made? How could she only put down this little on me?" The poor Taoist said confidently: "I have a premonition, she has bet more on the outside than on me!"
"The odds of you emerging unscathed are 1 in 2, the odds of you suffering casualties are 1 in 1!" Ishihara Kuma said!
"That's right, she must be more interested in the outside bets!" The poor Taoist smiled and said, "What are you still hesitating about? Go place your bets!"
"Haha! That's right! Let's go!" Father and Ishihara Kuma 2 went out together!
Just as they returned, the duel had just begun!
This time it's the Wolf Cavalry who take the stage first, they're still the same as before, riding on demonic wolves and approaching with a fierce aura, their weapons have also been switched to battle knives!
"These guys are really ugly!" Mei'er said with a pout!
Finally, it's my Crazy Dragon Iron Cavalry! With a majestic momentum, they once again won the applause of the audience! Today, their arsenal has one more addition! It is the javelin, the sharp weapon I deliberately hid until now, specifically designed to counter the Wolf Riders!
"Hey! These guys look pretty good! At least they're more pleasing to the eye than those green-haired turtles!" Mei'er laughed.
"Not only is it good-looking, but also powerful!" The poor Tao proudly said!
"Is that so? I think their formation doesn't look very neat at all! And it seems like they're not very sharp either! If they charge like this, a lot of force will be wasted!" Mei'er pointed out the shortcomings of the Crazy Dragon Iron Cavalry's formation with one glance! Truly worthy of being a general who commands an army of 100,000!
"Wow, little girl is amazing!" The father exclaimed in surprise: "You know, there are quite a few of them! Son, your formation this time is not bad at all!"
"You only know one side and don't know the other! Who told you that cavalry must charge? I asked them to change their profession to long-range soldiers, but it's not allowed?"
"This indeed looks like the standard formation of archer cavalry, can they still launch a long-range attack?" Mei'er exclaimed in surprise: "Are those black strips under their saddles javelins? If you don't look carefully, it's really hard to tell!"
"Heh heh!" The poor Dao smiled slyly: "Not bad, this is their first appearance, I specially prepared a gift for the Seventh Princess!"
"Brother, you're so sinister!" Mei Er's genuine praise made me sweat profusely! She didn't know that the most sinister part of me wasn't just these...
Just as we were speaking, the judge's nonsense also ended, and with his order, the duel officially began!
The Crazy Dragon Iron Rider had been suppressing his excitement for a long time and upon hearing the start, he charged towards his opponent like an arrow!
But the wolf cavalry made a big mistake! Their stupid commander received orders from the magic whistle to avoid the middle and move to attack on both sides! However, they had only run apart for a few meters when the second magic whistle command came, ordering them to gather together and defend! Although even the beastman commander felt this order was unbelievable, they still carried it out!
The instructions passed smoothly through the beast's inspection, and I was overjoyed! Never mind!
So, under the bewildered gaze of the audience, the beastmen performed a team formation display, constantly dispersing and reassembling! They repeated this several times! Until my Crazy Dragon Iron Cavalry entered their range, they were still crowded together in disarray!
"Fire!" With a single order from Piru, one thousand black iron spearheads were thrown into the sky 250 meters away from the beastmen! The original range was over 300 meters, but I ordered them to attack at 250 meters to keep this secret. All that could be heard was a loud "thud" as a dense forest of spears descended upon the disordered beastmen!
"Ah! Ah!" Instantly, a large number of beastmen fell to the ground! Even the wolf's tough fur couldn't withstand the piercing of the black iron spearhead! Whether it was human or wolf, they were easily penetrated by the huge impact force of the halberd, and some were even pierced together with their wolves! However, the nightmare had not yet ended!
As Piru gave the order, wave after wave of javelins rained down, lasting for five rounds. The 1000 beastman wolf riders who were still alive and kicking just now almost all turned into corpses! Due to the beastmen's extremely strong vitality, many had not died immediately and were still struggling in vain to pull out the javelins that pierced their bodies! They were then finished off by a team responsible for retrieving the javelins.
From start to finish, the duel that had been expected by outsiders lasted less than a few minutes and ended with the complete annihilation of the Wolf Cavalry! Trampling over the corpses of the Wolf Cavalry, the Iron Dragon Knights once again proved their strength to the world!
As usual, we returned to the hotel amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience! Mei'er whispered to me on the way: "Brother's Crazy Dragon Iron Cavalry can be considered a top-notch team even in the Demon Realm!"
"How many of those top-notch troops are there?" Poor Dao asked curiously!
"Not many, just a few dozen!" Mei'er laughed!
"Come on! Is this not enough?" The poor Taoist complained: "Can you tell me what the standard of a first-rate team is?"
"Ah! The number must exceed 100 to give the troops a number, if this team can single-handedly take down a demon dragon, it can barely be called a top-notch team!" Mei'er struck me with her words!
"Wow! The demon dragon is a mid-9th level demonic beast, right?" The poor Daoist said dejectedly: "My 3,000 Crazy Dragon Iron Riders would probably be left with almost nothing even if we managed to defeat one demon dragon."
"If I'm in command of 3,000 men, I can barely beat two of them!" Mei'er said with a smile.
Reminded me! I suddenly thought of a question! Her military talent is estimated to be no less than that of Nicolas! If there's an opportunity to get her into the troops, this way can suppress her ability and also get rid of her entanglement, it's really a two-for-one deal!
A naked Writing Board knelt on the Himalayas and begged: "Old masters, come and buy a monthly ticket!"
