Chapter 364: Special Death Knight
The mighty positive energy formed an unparalleled pulse, instantly sweeping across the northern horizon.
The thick and solid curtain of death could not be blocked, and was dispersed by this purifying pulse. The terrifying power swept across the earth and the sky, thoroughly sweeping away all evil.
This included the skeleton cavalry.
Although this unparalleled purifying pulse did not directly rush towards them.
However, the elemental storm formed by the overflowing positive energy had similarly caused the skeletal cavalry to suffer heavy injuries!
Other than the Death Knights who had negative energy to control, these ordinary skeleton cavalry that only had soul fire to control their skeletal bodies were instantly swept up by the elemental storm. Golden flames rose up as they burned and scattered into bone fragments!
Tens of thousands of skeleton cavalry were directly destroyed!
More and more skeleton cavalry were self-destructing in the golden light!
But..
These undead that suffered heavy losses..
They were still facing the heavy cavalry group that Kant had initiated and entered the peak of their charging status!
“Let us charge in!”
Kant pointed his king’s sword forward.
The horseshoes. .h.i.t the ground heavy, and a flood-like sound could be heard. A ma.s.s of lances that were held upright just now were slowly lowered as the distance between the two sides closed in.
The sharp and st.u.r.dy spearhead was pointed forward, and under their right armpit was a spear shaft, leveled with the horse’s head.
It was the same for everyone.
Then.
With a whistling sound, they charged into the formation of the skeleton cavalry that had already been pierced through.
They pierced through the sun disc above their heads, leaving behind a pa.s.sage that led directly to the north. With a roar, they spurred their horses to gallop wildly, and with their absolute charging status, they charged past all the enemies!
“Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom –”
The flood surged.
The heavy cavalry was unstoppable as they charged through everything.
A large number of skeleton cavalry could not block them at all. With their decaying skeletons’ bodies, they couldn’t even cause the slightest obstruction to the heavy cavalry in their charging status.
Groups of skeleton cavalry were turned into broken bones.
Countless pale blue soul flames were trampled by the horseshoes into tiny flames that scattered in all directions.
Even if the skeleton cavalry counterattacked, mechanically and fearlessly brandis.h.i.+ng the rotten longsword or lance in their hands, knocking the occasional heavy cavalry or desert bandits off their horses, they would not pose the slightest threat to this charge.
This was because the heavy cavalry group in their charging status would not stop because of such a small matter.
And no one could stop in such a status.
Warhorse whistled.
The heavy cavalry that fell off their warhorse was directly trampled by the comrades behind them.
They did not feel any pain because in an instant, they turned into debris, fresh blood and flesh mixed with ancient skeletons. Then, they were trampled on solid sand and turned into nutrients for the Oasis Lookout.
Nutrients that could make the vegetation of the next year grow even more luxuriant!
How could war not kill people.
These brave riders from the continent of Caradia had long been prepared to sacrifice themselves.
And if they sacrificed under the banner of the Supreme Lord, Lord Kant, they would receive a brand new honor. Even if they died in battle, there would still be a supreme existence to help them achieve a new life.
Although no one said it explicitly, it was something that could be sensed in the unseen world!
Hence, their charge was almost fearless.
Even though the skeletal cavalry were charging at them with their lance, they still charged forward without fear.
The powerful torrent broke through all obstacles, and the skeletal cavalry scattered, turning into pieces under the horseshoes. The entire area of the Oasis Lookout had been penetrated by the heavy cavalry, and they even charging further north!
On the northern side of the Oasis Lookout, the thick curtain of death had been completely destroyed.
The positive energy was still dispersing the evil and cold negative energy.
Even the faint golden light spots fell like a drizzle.
Early morning.
The sky was now a slightly brighter hue.
When Kant and the others had broken through all the obstructing skeletal cavalry, broke through the cavalry group formed by the entire skeletal cavalry, and broke through the barrier of the curtain of death, they saw the early morning.
Half of the sun’s body was exposed on the horizon.
A dazzling light pierced straight at them like a spear.
In a short moment, the dim light of the sky was dyed into daytime by the sunlight.
Just as Kant and the others broke out of the encirclement, they gradually stopped charging among the continuous dune. Under the rising sunlight, the originally dense charging formation gradually dispersed into a group that was suitable for defense.
They broke through the encirclement of the skeleton cavalry, but they still could not relax.
Because right behind them..
There were even more skeleton cavalry turning their horses around and chasing after them!
If it was a normal race’s cavalry unit, they would have already been on the verge of collapse after being penetrated by such a direct attack. Not to mention continuing chasing, it would probably be difficult for them to even reorganize their formation.
However, the advantage of the undead was revealed at this very moment.
They had no morale.
They also had no emotions or fear.
They did not have the so-called cowardice or fear!
After receiving the order from the high-level undead general, the skeleton cavalry immediately turned their horses around and regrouped. They continued their pursuit towards Kant and the others, who had already left the oasis lookout.
Even though they were heavily injured, they still had the advantage in numbers in this desert.
There were at least 30,000 of them!
For Kant, who only had less than 3,700 people, including 2,000 light cavalry, this number was enough to crush them.
That’s right, it was crus.h.i.+ng.
He could simply crush them in the numbers.
However, to Kant, this seemed more like a joke.
A group of rotten skeletons formed the cavalry. Of course, they could be considered light cavalry. In actual combat, they were even inferior to the desert bandits and the real light cavalry. Skeletons without muscles were not considered strong in close combat.
If these skeletons formed a cavalry, they could be considered as a level 3 cavalry.
However, the reason why they became a level 3 cavalry was because the undead did not need to eat or drink and had no physical limitations.
In terms of actual combat strength, it was different.
Even a Level 1 Kujit nomad could fight with a spear and a short bow!
“Undead, their combat strength is really too weak.”
The corner of Kant’s mouth curled up slightly.
There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
When the heroic skeleton cavalry charged over, what really caught his attention were those death knights that seemed likencorpses. As the commander and high-end combat strength of the skeleton cavalry, these guys should be on high alert.
“The number is close to 30 people.”
Banfake was the first to notice the death knights hidden among the skeleton cavalry.
Kant smiled faintly and said, “A thousand men long.”
“That’s right.”
There were more than 30,000 skeleton cavalry.
According to the military division of the ancient times, the commander of every thousand men was a thousand men long.
For example, for these skeleton cavalry, a thousand men long was the death knights. With these death knights with extraordinary powers as the commander, leading and commanding the skeleton cavalry in battle was also the style of the ancient times.
These death knights were the n.o.ble among the G.o.d’s descendants. They were the upper-cla.s.s people with the densest G.o.d’s descendants.
The skeleton cavalry were just ordinary G.o.d’s descendants.
The hierarchy was strict.
Or it could be said that in the ancient times, the hierarchy had already solidified. It was even more serious than it was now!
The current humans were rumored to have originated from the ancient times of the G.o.ds. Otherwise, the two sides would not be so similar. Even the current scholar could decipher the various doc.u.ments that had been lost in history!
However, the undead that originated from the ancient G.o.ds might not be a match for the humans now.
At the very least, they were no match for Kant!
However, there were only 30 death knights representing 30 extraordinary powers.
And in Kant’s current heavy cavalry group, there were a total of 50 royal knights, a total of 50 extraordinary powers!
There were also 200 knights and 1,300 heavy cavalry that were fully armed with horses and men. In addition, there were also 2,000 desert bandits that were flapping their wings behind them and similarly charged forward with spears in their hands. They were like knight attendants!
“Charge!”
Kant swung his king’s sword forward, and the rumbling sound appeared once again.
The hooves of the warhorse hit the layer of sand that had not completely thawed. The Berserk cavalry group began a new charge. With the help of the mysterious force, they entered the peak of their charging status in a very short period of time.
It was still a crus.h.i.+ng defeat.
A crus.h.i.+ng blow on every level!
No skeleton cavalry could withstand the charge of the knights and heavy cavalry.
Even if there were fish that escaped the net, they would be continued to be harvested by the desert bandits behind them with their machetes and spears.
But more of them were still shattered!
Their entire skeleton body was shattered, and the soul fire was trampled out by the horseshoes.
The Death Knights were also unable to stop this situation. 30 of these Death Knights that contained dense negative energy were heavily injured in a very short period of time by the royal knights who had already targeted them.
It was basically a two versus one situation.
It did not take long for the Death Knights’ fearless counterattack to pose a slight threat to the heavy cavalry.
These Death Knights, who had already fallen in the ancient times and had been resurrected by the power of the undead, had completely turned into dregs. Together with the skeleton cavalry, they were trampled on the sand, and their soul flames had already been extinguished.
Even Kant had used his king’s sword to kill two Death Knights.
He was a grand knight with two extraordinary powers.
Ordinary Death Knights were not his opponents, but there was a special Death Knight that was somewhat unique. He had temporarily blocked Kant’s King’s sword.
However, with the help of Bandake, he was also riddled with injuries and was unable to stand on his own.
“Interesting.”
Kant was even more at ease.
Around them, Bandake and five royal knights had already surrounded this Death Knight, cutting off its escape routes.
This was what Kant thought was interesting. This Death Knight actually attempted to escape when the battle wasn’t going his way, and even brought the surrounding Death Knights and skeleton cavalry with him to alleviate the pressure.
Kant chuckled, “Looks like you and that old guy both have their own wisdom.”
“That old guy?”
A hoa.r.s.e voice came from under the helmet of the surrounded Death Knight.
However, the voice was especially stiff, and the flow of his words carried the charm of the ancient times. Of course, now it sounded more like an opera, “Humans, you have to know that we are back.”
