Mythical Three Kingdoms-Chapter 1034 - 990: The World’s Strongest Unleashed

Looking at each other, Lyu Bu and Gao Shun showed almost no change in their expressions, yet the clear reflection in their eyes made them realize that the past estrangement between them had vanished at this moment.

It was after this that Hu Zhao truly witnessed what it meant to be an unparalleled valiant general, and what it meant to be part of the Brave Faction!

The power of the Vanguard Camp bestowed upon Lyu Bu allowed him to exert his utmost strength beneath the Cloud Qi, piercing through nearly a hundred thousand Xianbei troops with sheer force, leaving a trail of bloodshed in his wake, truly accomplishing the feat of single-handedly defeating a fully organized army!

That ghostly deity-like power, after paving the battlefield with corpses under Lyu Bu’s steed, as he turned his horse, his armor, the Sky Piercer halberd, his cloak, and Red Hare were all dripping with blood, like a demon emerging from the blood pool of hell, carrying a bloody, mad aura, along with a commanding presence that seemed to disdain the entire world!

Of course, these are stories for later, and now the battle has yet to begin, and Lyu Bu and his trusted aide Gao Shun have been apart for too long. The unfamiliarity that came with time has not disappeared, and it requires adjustment.

"The Vanguard, Gongzheng, I will prepare eight hundred fine horses for you, and those eight hundred sets of horse armor from the Han Dynasty’s secret storeroom will be placed on you again. The strongest troop type in the world is certainly not the Sword and Shield Soldiers!" Lyu Bu slowly said to Gao Shun, releasing his open heart, allowing many things to become clear.

Hailing from the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, known for their all-around skills, the Vanguard couldn’t possibly be infantry; it was merely a means for Lyu Bu to restrain Gao Shun. Having reached a certain limit, a wary Lyu Bu could not allow Gao Shun’s strength to expand further, but now there’s no need to fear these things anymore.

When the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was first formed, their goal was to charge like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, invincible in every way; to strike from afar as efficiently and agilely as the White Horse Soldiers, moving like the wind. In the end, neither did they master the invincibility of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry nor did they attain the efficiency and agility of the White Horse Soldiers, nor the mobility like the wind.

After all, whether it be the Iron Cavalry or the Righteous Followers, both had reached an extreme level of a certain attribute, and the futile attempt to integrate two almost diametrical skills led only to the birth of a creature that resembles none.

Fortunately, despite the misplacement of their positioning, the attributes remained strong, and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, though incorrectly identified, still managed to create a unit capable of fighting and resisting, without any fatal flaws. However, evidently, this was not the perfect integration of the strongest offense, the strongest defense, and innate high speed they initially sought.

This hypothetical perfect troop type, unbeatable in charge, with a strong close-combat ability, mounted archery comparable to elite archers, extraordinarily high speed, extremely agile movements, mobility surpassing normal cavalry by miles, which could even serve as a meat shield in defense when necessary, theoretically exists with a probability infinitely close to zero.

However, the difference between theory and reality lies in the fact that reality permits miracles. When the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry’s decathlon crossed a certain limit, it essentially possessed the above characteristics. Although it may not reach such exaggerated levels as the original, it essentially can be called a nearly perfect troop type.

These are the earliest seeds of the Vanguard Camp. Back then, the Vanguard was merely Lyu Bu’s Personal Guard Army, not yet the Military Spirit Legion. It wasn’t until later through Gao Shun’s training did they reach the ultimate, unsurmountable peak of the legion.

Whether driven by a fixation, by a miracle, or by something else, the Vanguard Soul, apart from the conventional will to resist death, offered a more comprehensive enhancement, which might seem useless compared to other Military Spirit Legions, but for the Vanguard, it was the most suitable Legion Talent.

This talent compensated for their final flaw, creating a truly perfect ultimate legion, integrating all the advantages of Iron Cavalry and Righteous Followers into the strongest cavalry. Unfortunately, the day they touched true perfection was also the day the Vanguard completely left the horseback.

It’s said the Flying Bear Army’s defeat wasn’t entirely unjustified, as at the time, neither they nor the Vanguard were mounted; both had lost their greatest reliance, fighting under nearly identical conditions, and then the Flying Bear Army was annihilated. frёewebηovel.cѳm

One could say if both Flying Bear Army and Vanguard had been mounted at the time, the Flying Bears might have lost even worse, considering the lethal force of the Heavy Cavalry and the agility of the Light Cavalry, moving at ultra-high speeds, the Flying Bear Army might not even have laid a finger on them.

That said, if the Flying Bear Army had been mounted back then, Dong Zhuo certainly wouldn’t have died, for they were cavalry impervious to terrain, though head-on they might not have been contenders, but if it were to rescue someone, they were undoubtedly the best cavalry.

Now Lyu Bu finally released the mental block within him, no longer worrying over Gao Shun. Since he had let go, he might as well let it go completely. Lyu Bu possessed this kind of resolve, thoroughly breaking the shackles binding Gao Shun, tearing apart the fetters that restricted the Vanguard, releasing the world’s most elite troops from confinement!

"It’s such a pity..." Gao Shun sighed, for some reasons, the perfectly blossoming Vanguard could no longer target certain true adversaries in Central Plains; otherwise, showcasing to them the full-on might of the Vanguard would be a shock, for how vast is the gap between infantry and cavalry, how many truly understand it without a genuine clash.

"I will provide the horses, and I should also return to formation." Cao Xing stood up with a smile, saying, he and Gao Shun were both once Lyu Bu’s trusted aides, though he was the aide who aided Lyu Bu with archery, not the one who protected Lyu Bu.

After Lyu Bu started being wary of Gao Shun, Cao Xing spoke in favor a few times, and then he also ended up on the blacklist, being shelved together, but because of this, Cao Xing survived, Gao Shun, though cold, understood life’s warmth and chill, naturally protecting Cao Xing under his banner.

With Lyu Bu’s protection gone, yet with Gao Shun’s protection, even the most brutal of battlefields, Cao Xing managed to retreat safely, and now that Gao Shun is rejoining the ranks, naturally, he follows.

"You still need to practice your Qi Power more; your talent in archery surpasses mine, but with such Qi Power, you can’t kill top-notch experts." Lyu Bu glanced at Cao Xing, offering some advice.

"There aren’t any true experts among the Hu People; even against average Inner Qi Manifestation ones, with Gongzheng’s military spirit enhancement, I can shoot them dead." Cao Xing laughed without concern.

Indeed, the time he shot dead a Xianbei chief was due to Gao Shun’s military spirit enhancement, but regardless, Cao Xing’s miraculous archery skills are undeniably genuine.

"You should be more cautious; you aren’t me." Gao Shun looked coldly at Cao Xing, saying, "Even with military spirit enhancement, you’ve just barely reached Inner Qi Manifestation, plus your close combat is quite poor; more importantly, you don’t have the ability to control that power."
