Lord of the Frozen Winter: Starting with Daily Intelligence Reports

chapter 58 - Bloody Battle


Da da da—!The urgent sound of hooves vibrated the ground like war drums.Haskell, the captain of the Snowsworn, suddenly raised his head, gripping the battle-axe in his hand, his gaze as sharp as a wolf's, fixed on the rolling dust in the distance.Those weren’t fleeing horses, but the uniform sound of iron cavalry!They had arrived.The next moment, the neighing of warhorses pierced the night, and streaks of crimson figures galloped out from the dust.The armor of the Red Tide Knights reflected a chilling glow under the setting sun, like a sharp sword hewn from the abyss!“Warriors, form ranks!” Haskell roared, raising his battle-axe.The Snowsworn warriors quickly moved, shields held horizontally, spears thrust forward, battle-axes gripped diagonally, their eyes glinting with vigilance, sweat dripping down their foreheads.But the Red Tide Knights gave them no chance to breathe!Whoosh!The air was torn, and sharp short spears and arrows poured down like a sudden rain, covering the sky and earth!Ranged throwing weapons!They want to wear us down like this!Haskell’s pupils contracted slightly, and his heart sank.He immediately realized this was a meticulously planned hunting tactic.These Knights intended to first tear through the defense with ranged attacks, and once the formation loosened, the Knights would exploit the opening to cut in.“Shield wall! Quick!”Just as the Snowsworn raised their shields, they heard a series of dull thuds.“Ugh!”A young Snowsworn warrior was a little slow.He screamed and staggered backward, a short spear piercing his chest, blood splattering.He opened his mouth unwillingly, but only coughed up frothy blood, then fell heavily to the ground, twitching until he lost consciousness.“Damn it! Damned Knights!” The warrior beside him roared, his eyes flashing with violent killing intent.“Don’t panic! Stabilize the formation first!” Haskell gritted his teeth and roared.Unlike the strategy Haskell imagined.The Red Tide Knights’ first harassment squad had no intention of prolonged combat; after throwing their short spears, they swiftly retreated like ghosts.Raising clouds of dust, blurring the Snowsworn’s vision.“These bastards…”Before they could adjust, another Knight squad was already attacking from the flank!Hiss—!Warhorses whinnied, iron hooves churned!The Red Tide Knights’ second squad burst into the battlefield, long spears carrying blazing crimson fighting qi, heading straight for the Snowsworn’s flank!“Their main attack is here!” A Snowsworn cried out, instinctively moving towards the flank.“Don’t move! Don’t fall for it!” Haskell shouted sharply, but it was already too late.The Red Tide Knights’ second tactical step succeeded!The flank assault wasn’t the main attack, but rather used to disrupt the formation!As the Red Tide Knights charged, their blades and spears flashed with crimson fighting qi, weaving through the enemy ranks!Pfft!Blood splattered as a Snowsworn warrior’s throat was pierced by a long spear, blood gushing!In just a few seconds, the defensive line was torn open!Haskell’s brows furrowed, his teeth almost grinding to ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) dust.He finally realized this was like a meticulously prepared hunt, and they were merely prey being toyed with!“Damn it…” He tightened his grip on his battle-axe, his eyes growing darker, deep blue fighting qi constantly surging around him.However, at this moment, the Red Tide Knights’ third squad quietly appeared.“Kill!”A deep, chilling voice rang out, accompanied by thunderous thuds of hooves striking the ground.Haskell turned sharply.“Charge!”Lambert led a squad of Elite Knights and high-ranking Formal Knights, galloping out from the dust!Their speed was even faster than the previous Knights, their lances pointed straight ahead, sweeping into the battlefield like a gale!Bang!A Snowsworn warrior couldn’t even put up a defense before a spear blade, enveloped in crimson fighting qi, pierced his chest.He was brutally pinned to the ground, blood slowly dripping from the spear blade, fighting qi burning and corroding his wound, even his corpse trembling slightly!“Bastard!” Haskell roared, his deep blue fighting qi surging, his battle-axe sweeping out with a violent gust of wind!Clang—!The spear blade precisely parried the battle-axe, and crimson and deep blue fighting qi collided violently.A fierce energy shockwave spread out, raising a violent surge of air!The surrounding warriors were all forced back, and even the ground showed cracks!“A little interesting.” Lambert’s lips curved slightly, but his eyes held indifference.He swept his spear backhanded, the blade cutting through the air, drawing a chilling arc of light!Pfft!A Snowsworn attempting a sneak attack had his throat cut by the spear blade, clutching his neck and gasping in pain, falling into a blood-soaked, dusty puddle.“Damn it…” Haskell growled.As the Knights continued their assault, blood splattered onto the ground, staining the shattered armor.At this point, most of the Snowsworn warriors had been killed or wounded.Haskell knelt on one knee, breathing like bellows.His battle-axe was already full of nicks, his armor shattered, soaked in a mixture of enemy and ally blood.His gaze swept around; only a dozen or so Snowsworn remained standing, but everyone’s eyes had grown hazy.Their legs trembled not from fear, but because their physical strength was nearing its limit.They had been driven to a desperate situation by the Red Tide Knights.“Is it… the limit?”Haskell gritted his teeth, his face so dark it looked like it could drip blood.He clenched his fists, his fingernails digging deep into his palms until the sharp pain cleared his head.No, they hadn’t lost yet!He slowly stood up, scanning his remaining comrades.“Snowsworn…” His voice was hoarse and low, “Fight to the last man! Make them pay in blood!”“Fight to the last man!! Make them pay in blood!!” The remaining Snowsworn roared in response.Although they were already covered in wounds.But at this moment, a crazed fighting spirit reignited in their eyes.“Kill—!”Haskell took a deep breath and raised the battle-axe in his hand.In an instant, a blood-red totem lit up on his chest!That wasn’t ordinary fighting qi, but a life-burning curse—Boiling Blood!Boom!!Scalding blood boiled in their veins, frantically scorching their bodies, their muscles instantly swelled, veins twisted and bulged under their skin, and their pupils turned into crimson flames!A dozen or so Snowsworn warriors simultaneously activated their Boiling Blood berserk state, their aura instantly surging.A mad killing intent soared into the sky, making the air itself seem to tremble!“Hahaha!”Haskell laughed wildly, blood constantly oozing from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.But he still tightly gripped his battle-axe, fighting qi surging, and charged towards Lambert!“Come on! Let me show you the hatred of us Snowsworn!! Let’s go to hell together!!”“Step back!” Seeing this, Lambert decisively roared.The Red Tide Knights immediately scattered, but it was already too late!
