Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165
Seeing so many Fox People experts, Soma was shocked but indifferent. When had the Fox People’s combat strength become strong? If the Fox People really were so powerful, they wouldn’t always be oppressed.
Even though he faced a greater number of Fox People experts, as long as there was no help from others, they were not worried at all.
"Hmph, charge with me, let them know that foxes can never beat wolves."
Soma shouted as he charged forward, his long sword savagely slashing down. If it hadn’t been for the sake of a surprise attack that he didn’t bring his mount, the combat strength of these Wolf Cavalry would have been even stronger. Thıs content belongs to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Unfortunately, since the ambush hadn’t succeeded, they could only rely on their own strength. Soma felt that his strike was extremely fluid and would certainly crush all the enemy’s defenses in an instant, felling them with a single slash. He was a Wolfman, a powerful Wolfman, and those fragile foxes could only hide behind; on the front line, they were doomed.
Even the Red Fox experts at the back were worried at this moment. These were the elites of the Fox People Clan. Although they were a rare close-combat branch of the armed forces, they didn’t believe they could compare with the Wolfmen in melee combat.
Watching so many of their White Fox clansmen about to die, their hearts were filled with empathetic pain.
But the outcome was completely different from what they had expected. The charging White Fox experts didn’t care about the opponent’s long sword at all. With a swift movement of his left hand, he actually blocked the side of the long sword.
Merely an arm moved much faster than using a weapon. The white Yuan Power twined around the arm like armor, blocking Soma’s Dou Qi completely. Even the immense force was continuing to divert his weapon.
Soma felt a massive force sweep over him, almost causing his long sword to fly from his grasp. Had it not been for the blessing of other sacrifices on him, he might have already lost. Even if the opponent was empowered more strongly, he shouldn’t have displayed such capability.
Soma was forced back half a step by the opponent’s immense strength, which was simply humiliating.
However, the White Fox expert didn’t distance himself but instead rushed over and threw a punch at Soma’s chest. In haste, Soma could only block the punch with his long sword held horizontally in front of him.
With a "bang," the immense force pushed Soma back again. Looking down, he saw a shallow mark on his greatsword, not very deep but glaringly obvious.
Was this the power that the Fox People could unleash? Why did it feel like the opponent’s strength was even stronger than his Wolfman Dou Qi? It wasn’t as violent, but it was more focused and purer. This sort of feeling was typically only found in the higher tiers of Human Race Cultivation, when had the Fox People attained such power?
"My god, is that the power that the Fox People can unleash, what profession is that?"
"I remember it’s called the Saint Fist Master, Cultivating a power known as Yuan Power. It is said that besides the Lion and Tiger Clans, only our Fox People can cultivate Yuan Power. Sadly, it has been a long time since anyone cultivated it."
The Fox People Clan, being at a strength disadvantage, could hardly cultivate close combat skills, which is evident by them mostly being shamans. In their eyes, with such meager strength, no matter how proficient they were in combat skills, they would definitely not be a match for other Beastmen.
However, although the Fox People were comparatively weak, that was relative to Beastmen. Their strength was still somewhat stronger than that of humans.
Human Warrior experts were able to clash head-on with Beastmen Warrior experts, and beyond a certain point, innate strength was no longer so important. These fifth-tier Saint Fist Masters were no weaker in combat power than anyone else.
In fact, their close combat skills even surpassed those of other Beastmen. The closer the distance, the more powerful these unarmed Saint Fist Masters became in battle.
Unfortunately, these Wolfmen were mainly cavalry, and without their mounts, plus their shamanic power being inferior to the opposition, they were in a sticky situation. Soma was alright, using his exceptional strength to block the continuous attacks. But the others around him weren’t doing as well. After a period of battle, several of his comrades had fallen.
"Damn it, how much power have you White Fox People been hiding all this time? You didn’t show up when the Quicksand Empire invaded, I must report to the Lion Clan, and let them punish your White Fox Clan," Soma shouted loudly, but it was useless. The White Fox experts across from him didn’t care about his words at all, their expressions unchanged, their rhythm in battle steady. These Saint Fist Masters weren’t good at coordinating with each other, but in one-on-one combat, they were no slouches.
The Wolfmen might have outnumbered them, but not by much. When they charged in, they encountered another problem. Unbeknownst to them, when did the White Fox Magical Beasts manage to bypass the front and reach their flank?
Then, one by one, the White Fox Magical Beasts unleashed their aura, and to the Wolfmen’s great surprise, these were a hundred fifth-tier Magical Beasts. When had they reared these White Fox Magical Beasts? According to intelligence, weren’t their reared White Foxes only at the fourth tier? Why were there fifth-tier ones, and so many at that?
There was no time to ponder as the White Foxes had already rushed in. Fifth-tier White Foxes, skilled in both Magic and close combat albeit neither extremely powerful, became formidable when combined.
At the same level, the combat power of a White Fox Magical Beast was not much weaker than that of a member of the Wolf Cavalry. The Wolfmen, without their mounts, were completely no match for these hundred big foxes. The coordination between the big foxes was better than that of the Saint Fist Masters.
The combination of Saint Fist Masters, shamans, and White Fox Magical Beasts demonstrated a shocking combat power. And the Griffins in the sky, whom the Wolfmen were trying to intercept, were also close to faltering.
When the first Wolfman expert fell from the sky, the war was nearing its end.
The Red Fox Clan people exchanged glances, their faces lit up with excitement, seeing a new way of fighting for the Fox People Clan. Once this style of combat became widespread, the Fox People were destined to become a powerful group.
Even contention with the Lion and Tiger Clans might not be out of reach in the future. The Lion and Tiger Clans had inherently stronger Warrior talents than any other race, but the Fox People Clan surpassed all Beastman races in shamanistic practices. Now that they had remedied a weakness, the strength of the Lion and Tiger Clans might not necessarily be greater than theirs.
Moreover, they had another advantage, a large population. In terms of reproductive capacity, no other noble clans, except for the peculiar boarman clan, could surpass the reproductive abilities of the Fox Clan. The Red Fox people gradually halted their steps.
