Chapter 55 Dark Iron Cavalry

The neighing of the war horses became clearer and clearer, as if I was on a battlefield. I seemed to hear the sound of thousands of troops fighting and killing. As the sound got louder and louder, the giant magic lamps that were originally all over the cave ceiling were like electric lamps with unstable voltage. Not only did their brightness flicker, but several of them exploded one after another. The scene seemed like something was absorbing magic. Lamp energy. The surrounding Dongbi also suddenly started to feel strange. Following the sizzling sound, irregular arcs of electricity began to flash on the walls at some point!

The flat ground paved with white foundation stones was suddenly covered with a layer of gray-white dust. This dust not only thickened the home but also continued to expand to the surroundings. Fortunately, the demon pets they had summoned all backed away, not wanting to stand on this strange dusty ground.

The gray area on the ground quickly occupied a large area, but it stopped expanding instead of continuing. Flashing red words suddenly appeared on the ground, and dense mantras covered the entire ground. A neat voice came from below the incantation, which was the voice of a large group of people: "Heroes are advancing, cowards are retreating, sacrifice with blood, defend with life! Grow in the battle, Never give up! Any obstacles in front of you will be overcome!"

Ling stared and said, "It can't be them, right?"

"What?"

"The seventh legion of the Dark Temple was completely wiped out during the last divine war. It is still considered to be the strongest legion in the history of the temple!"

"The entire army has been wiped out and still the strongest army is there?"

"The whole army was wiped out! But do you know why they were wiped out?"

"have no idea!"

"Because they captured the Solonborg Fortress with an army of 100,000 men, which was garrisoned by an army of 10,000 men, and then buried 30,000 prisoners of war alive, and then were surrounded by 1.5 million troops who rushed to the fortress for a month!"

"and after?"

"They withstood the attack of a 1.5 million-strong army within a month, and persisted until the Dark Temple drew troops from the frontal battlefield to rescue! The city was still in our hands!"

"If we defended it, why would the entire army be annihilated?"

"Because the Seventh Legion had been completely wiped out when we arrived, and 20,000 seriously wounded people blocked the city gate with their corpses. When the reinforcements arrived, they climbed in from the city wall, and there was no one alive in the city! The 1.5 million Bright Knights suffered 700,000 casualties in one month, but they still failed to capture the city! In fact, all the troops in the city were killed three days before the reinforcements arrived, but the dead soldiers were still holding their weapons up The corpse stood on the city wall and did not fall down. As a result, the Bright Knights did not know that there was no one in the city. They rested outside the city for three days without daring to attack the city! By the time they found out, reinforcements had already arrived!"

"Aren't these a bunch of lunatics?"

"Don't insult these heroes!" Ling got angry at me for the first time. "The Seventh Legion is a myth of invincibility. They represent a belief. That iron will can defeat any enemy, even if they are dead! Do you know how strong a legion must be to scare them with 100,000 corpses? Are you going to withdraw a million soldiers and defend the city for three days?"

"But weren't they killed in battle? Why did they come to me?"

"I don't know! The Seventh Legion is the only full-cavalry, all-terrain, full-function legion in the Dark Temple. Every soldier is an all-rounder. Holding a staff is a dark mage, picking up a weapon is a black warrior, and riding a war horse is a black warrior. Knights, armed with bows and arrows, are horse archers! But back then they were all warriors of the demon clan, and now I don’t know whether the ones summoned are the resurrected Seventh Legion or have turned into undead creatures!"

"Attention is coming out!"

The spell on the ground suddenly disappeared, and all the surrounding sounds suddenly disappeared at the same time. After a pause of about two seconds, the neighing of the war horses suddenly resumed, and this time the sound was loud and clear as if it was coming from around us, unlike the deep sound that seemed to come from the ground at the beginning. The gray sand sank first, and then suddenly appeared one by one. A head stretched out from the soil, followed by arms and bodies, and a horse covered in black armor. Carrying a knight also wearing black steel armor struggled to stand up from the sand. The gray sand slipped from their bodies and stirred up a cloud of smoke. A few seconds later, thousands of heavy cavalry appeared in front of us in neat lines. The uniform black armored cavalry all rode the same horses. These knights are exactly what Ling said. They have shields hanging on their left arms, one-handed swords at their waists, a strange-shaped long bow slung across their backs, and a staff tied to the saddle. There are two arrow pots hanging on one side! Sure enough, he can do everything! powerful! But what makes me feel strange is that these cavalrymen also have a large bundle of rope hanging on the side of their saddles. It’s not clear what they are used for!

A knight who looked like a leader ran over on horseback. When he got in front of me, he jumped off the horse and knelt down on one knee. "The Skeleton Knights of the Seventh Army are here to report! What are your orders, Lord?"

All the cavalry are wearing jumpsuits, and even their horses are covered as tightly. Although he calls himself a skeleton knight, I can't see how he looks like a skeleton at all! The only thing that is different from a living creature is that he and his horse can only see a red dot in their eyes, which is quite scary!

"Master, why don't you leave these armies to us to command?" Scott came up and recommended himself. "We Demon Spirit Knights have commanded several battles. These are the soldiers of the Seventh Army. They must be very powerful. Let us command them to greatly improve their combat effectiveness!"

"Okay!" I said to the skeleton knight, "You just obey the command of these 10 demon knights!"

"Yes!" The Skeleton Knight immediately stood up and followed Scott.

10 demon spirit knights rode their war horses to the front row to take command. The heavy armored dragons were put together by them alone as the backbone of the charge. It really looked like that with 10 demon spirit knights lined up in front, followed by a neat brigade of skeleton cavalry!

Ling came over and said, "There are too many enemies. It doesn't make much sense for me to join the battle directly. Why don't I use all my mana to upgrade these cavalry?"

"Can you upgrade them?"

"It's only temporary, but it's better than nothing, right?"

"Well! Come on then!"

Ling stood behind the team and raised his staff above his head, "Dark Oath!" A golden six-pointed star array appeared under the feet of all the skeleton cavalry at the same time. This array was rotating slowly, but it was clearly visible. The speed is getting faster and faster! The rotation speed of the formation soon became crazy. The high-speed rotating formation suddenly began to rise, and the skeleton cavalry standing on them were filtered by the formation. When the formation rose to the top of the cavalry's heads, it suddenly disappeared. The cavalry in the field seemed to have nothing moving except for the red feathers on their heads!

Now there is a red tassel on the top of the helmets of these cavalry. The whole army looks like the honor guard knights during the carnival parade. Even the horses they stepped off have a red tassel on their heads. Well done. It's like a circus kind of handsome performance horse.

I can now see the attributes of the cavalry, and they have indeed risen by more than one level! The most important thing is that there are many more collective skills. You must know that one plus one is greater than two in war. If a level 500 player plays a wheel battle with 10 level 400 players, the probability of victory is 90%, but if these 10 people swarm up, then this level 500 player will be dead! So whether the Skeleton Cavalry's collective skills will have a great impact, oh, by the way, they should be called Dark Iron Cavalry now.

Ling squatted on the ground weakly, and I asked Rose to take care of her for the time being. If Ling recovered quickly enough, she might be able to help with some big magic later.

The red-armored knight came out with the agreed 00 stone men. He had been busy with himself just now. Although he asked about the characteristics of the stone men, he never paid attention to their appearance. Only now did he realize that these guys were like a bunch of moving animals. of terracotta warriors and horses. With a height of more than two meters, they are almost as tall as my knights standing on the ground. These things must not be fought forcefully, otherwise they will only suffer a loss.

I rode on Ye Ying and came to the front of the queue to confront the red-armored knight. Ye Ying still maintains the shape of a nightmare. The time limit of the transformation gem has not expired, so he cannot transform back into a heavy armored dragon for the time being! After both sides were ready, the Wugan personnel began to evacuate the venue. Rose and the others retreated to the edge of the square. The subordinates of the red-armored warriors who were not participating in the battle also began to retreat until they left the square.

This huge square is quite large. With so many of us standing on it, we can actually leave a safe distance of more than 100 meters in the middle. In fact, this is good for me. The large area allows me to have enough distance to activate my cavalry. Group charges will only show their power when they reach a certain speed. Cavalry without speed is not much better than infantry.

The red-armored knight asked: "Are you ready?"

"alright!"

He nodded, then raised his right hand holding the sword above his head, and then slowly lowered his arm forward until the tip of the sword pointed at me. "Everyone! Move forward!" The 00 Stone Man began to move forward at the same time like one person, and the ground resonance caused by the neat steps was like an earthquake!

I don't want to have a head-on collision with them. He drew his sword and pointed it forward. "Dark Cavalry, prepare bows and arrows!" There was a neat clatter behind, and the knights quickly put on longbows. Although there was a difference in level, at least the training was not as bad as theirs! "The reference point is 400 meters ahead, throw it high and shoot!" All the dark cavalry opened their bows at the same time and pointed their bows and arrows diagonally towards the sky. "Let go!" There was a shout from behind, and a large rain of arrows flew up.

'Shoot' the stone man? Don't look at the joke. Can you shoot? Apart from ballistae, those things have no arrows that are effective. My target is the red-armored knight. Although his subordinates are stone men, he himself should be some other creature. As long as he is defeated first, everything behind him will be easy to deal with! The arrow rain flew over the highest point, and then struck down densely with the red-armored knight as the center. This is also thanks to the fact that the cave is relatively high, otherwise it would be really difficult to shoot high!

The patter of arrows instantly covered the red-armored knight, but this guy reacted quickly. He jumped off his horse and hid behind the stone man. Several stone men immediately took the initiative to protect him. The result was unexpected. Although the arrow rain did not hit the knight, it turned his mount into a hedgehog. The few stone men who were blocking the arrows for him were actually shot to pieces by the dense rain of arrows. It seemed that as long as the attack was concentrated enough, the stone men would also be shot to death by the arrows!

But I have no interest in wasting time now, because the stone people have been running towards us for a long time under the orders of the red-armored knights who are guest infantry. Of course, for the stone people, running means walking faster than us.

"Snow demon, pay attention, create an ice belt at a distance of 0 to 300 meters in front."

The snow monsters immediately began to create a 100-meter-wide skating rink. The stone men just rushed in front of it. The red-armored knight flew over directly, but the stone men behind him could not jump. A large number of stone men stepped onto the ice, but they controlled their center of gravity very well, and none of them fell down.

"Attention, dark cavalry, prepare bows and arrows right ahead, raise the angle, release!" A rain of arrows flew over my head, and Shirenmen, who was running smoothly, was suddenly hit by a rain of arrows. This time, the scattered shooting and lack of concentration did not cause any damage to the stone man, but the kinetic energy of the arrow cannot be ignored. It is impossible to resist the power of the arrow on the ice with almost no adhesion. A large piece of the stone man fell down with a loud roar. Although they were still struggling, how could the slippery ice surface allow them to get up so easily.

"Prepare the bridge!" the red-armored knight who crossed the ice area gave the order, and the stone men who fell simply lay down and stopped, while the stone men behind them ran over on their backs.

Seeing the stone men rushing in, the red-armored knight no longer worried about the troops behind him and rushed forward on his own. It seems like this is another commander who likes to rush to the front as much as I do! Without looking back, I looked ahead and said to Scott: "The troops are under your command. I will stop the knight who is commanding you!"

"Yes, Master!" Scott immediately turned around and ordered: "All troops, be careful not to get close to the enemy. The troops should be dispersed. A demon knight will lead a team, guerrilla tactics!"

At this time, I had already rushed out with Ye Ying. I was confident in my troops. As long as I didn't lose, there would be no problem. So I wanted to win and couldn't let my subordinates be dragged down by me!
