Even though Varner had one foot in the grave, his decision was still unquestionable. Even though his wife and son were against the order, Varner still wanted to carry it out. However, fate played a joke on Suhlen. Before the order was officially issued, Varner Cullen had already returned to heaven. (In fact, Suhlen seriously suspected that Varner was killed by his wife and son.)
The new Earl Kallan did not recognize the previous order at all, so Suren became a thorn in the side of his nominal elder brother, Earl Kallan.
What could Suhlen do? All he could do was reason with him. I, Suhlen, use reason to convince people!
On a dark and windy night, Suhlen entered the heavily guarded Thorn Castle alone and found his beloved brother. First, Suhlen had a 'reason' with more than 30 knights in the castle and 'broke' them. Count Cullen finally forgave Suhlen.
After a friendly exchange, Suhlen agreed to give up his barony and keep his noble status, while Count Cullen gave up 5,000 Kinnar as compensation to Suhlen.
After receiving the compensation, Suhlen didn't stay in Cullen City any longer. He immediately brought Kinnar to the Northern Province and encountered this scene.
"Roar!"
"Charge!"
"Tear them apart!" Roars could be heard, followed by a group of Gnomes and Kobolds charging over while shouting some unknown slogan.
"Archers!"
"Get ready!"
"Fire!" More than 20 arrows were shot out from the carriages. There were only 60 to 70 people in the caravan, and only half of the guards.
Although there weren't many human guards, they worked well together. They used the defenses of the carriages to keep the kobolds outside, and a group of spearmen stabbed the goblins and kobolds to death between the gaps of the carriages.
Suhlen found a spear in the carriage and waved it around. The spear created a series of afterimages as it slashed across the throats of the goblins and kobolds, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
The Jackalans, who were supervising the battle, did not step forward. They intended to let these cannon fodder consume the strength of the humans. When the humans were exhausted, the Jackalans would attack and tear the chariot formation apart in one fell swoop. A large number of Kobolds and Goblins charged forward, and corpses soon piled up in front of the carts.
Under normal circumstances, the kobolds and gnomes would have fled for their lives after suffering such great losses. However, because of the gnolls behind them, these kobolds and gnomes had no choice but to continue attacking. Soon, the battle became more and more intense. Large numbers of gnomes and kobolds died, and corpses piled up in front of the carts to form a slope.
In a short 15 minutes, the kobolds and goblins had suffered at least a hundred casualties. On the human side, only two unlucky fellows were dragged off the carriage and dismembered.
At this point, the Kobolds and Goblins were on the verge of collapse. Even with the Gnolls supervising the battle, it was useless. Of course, they did contribute. At least the humans had exhausted a lot of their strength.
Yegus slowly stepped forward and roared at the human carts. More than a hundred Gnolls behind him roared as well. In the next second, these bloodthirsty and cruel Gnolls charged forward.
"It's over!"
"Damn it!"
"Raise your weapons if you don't want to die!" Seeing the Gnolls charging, many people were so scared that their faces turned pale. They could not even hold their weapons properly. The leader of the guards saw this and hurriedly shouted, trying to calm the soldiers down.
However, the effect was limited. In Suhlen's system, the morale of the humans dropped from 80 to 60. If it dropped any lower, there would be deserters. The kobolds and goblins' morale, which was originally 40, instantly rose to 70. The Gnolls' morale even reached 90.
Seeing the Gnolls charging at him, Suhlen jumped off the carriage with his spear. With the buff of the pegasus, Suhlen's speed was amazing. The sharp blade of the spear slashed through the bodies of the kobolds and goblins who had just recovered their morale.
Without the goblins and kobolds blocking, Suhlen quickly confronted the Gnolls. Seeing a human charging at it, the Gnolls revealed a ferocious smile. They were already about to bite off the human's neck.
"Rip!" The sound of metal tearing flesh and bones could be heard. The 2.2-meter-tall Gnolls were directly lifted up by the spear and then sent flying.
Suhlen's attack did not scare the Gnolls at all. Instead, it made them even crazier. Many Gnolls gave up on attacking and directly waved their spiked clubs to attack Suhlen. In the end, they were easily sent flying by his spear.
The Gnolls, whose morale was high, became even crazier. They did not even look at their dead comrades. More Gnolls rushed forward again.
"Whirling Cherry!"
Four streams of Aura Qi appeared as the spear spun. Then, the Gnolls that rushed up were enveloped by the spinning Aura Qi. The Aura Qi was like countless sharp knives. Countless wounds appeared on the Gnolls' bodies in an instant. Then, the Gnolls were sent flying back at a speed faster than when they rushed up.
"Oh my god! Is this real? "
"Sun God above, is a knight this strong?"
The guards standing on the defensive carriage formation saw Suhlen's performance and all of them opened their mouths wide. In just a few short breaths, the number of Gnolls who died at Suhlen's hands had exceeded two digits. After that, Suhlen did not have any intention of stopping. He moved quickly on the battlefield, cutting down everything he passed as if he was cutting grass.
The morale of the humans, who were on the verge of collapse, suddenly soared. In contrast, the morale of the Gnolls fell to 70. More importantly, the Gnolls lost more than 30 in such a short time.
Seeing the heavy losses of the Gnolls, Yegus let out an angry howl and rushed toward Suhlen with 30 Gnoll Barbarian Soldiers. It looked like it wanted to surround and kill Suhlen. Seeing the Gnoll Barbarian Soldiers surrounding him, Suhlen did not have any intention of retreating. Instead, he sped up and rushed forward.
When he was three or four meters away from the Gnoll Barbarian Soldiers, Suhlen suddenly let out a roar.
"Thunder Spear!"
Then, Suhlen's originally strong body swelled as if it was filled with air. With the crackling of bones, Suhlen's body grew from 1.9 meters to about 2.2 meters. The contours of his muscles gave off an amazing feeling of strength.
Bolts of lightning appeared around his body, jumping on his weapons and body. The Gnoll Barbarian Soldiers who were close to him suddenly stiffened.
"Thunderstorm!"
The nearly three-meter-long spear was wrapped in a layer of blue lightning. Countless lightning bolts flew out from the rotating spear like a thunderstorm. The lightning balls were like a storm, sweeping across a ten-meter radius with Suhlen as the center. All the Gnolls in this area were electrocuted into charcoal.
Even the Gnoll leader was seriously injured. Then, the spear pierced through his throat.
