Chapter 853 - 538: Naraku Unit Emerges, Spiritual Remains Knight VS Blood Bat Knight! (2)
Leblanc remained relatively calm and spoke to Fang Zhou without hesitation.
At this moment, the only one who could give orders was Fang Zhou.
"Of course, it’s attack against attack."
Fang Zhou gave a cold smile.
He often did not take action himself, because he always saw himself as a war commander.
A Commander should under no circumstances take action unless absolutely necessary, but should provide an opportunity for subordinates to show their abilities instead.
However, under the brutal rules of undead creatures, without possessing extremely strong individual combat ability, it’s absolutely impossible to become an undead lord.
Just like the opposing Vampire Lord, Fang Zhou, as the Tomb Lord, was also the most powerful among the Tombyard Undead Army!
"Spiritual Remains Knights, charge with me."
Suddenly drawing out his Spiritual Remains Long Spear, Fang Zhou directly drove Yellow Springs Nightmare forward.
With its hooves stepping on fire, Yellow Springs Nightmare charged frantically as if emerging directly from Hell, towards the sharp edge of a squad of Blood Bat Knights, shrouded in a ghastly green Nether Fire.
Cavalry charges emphasize momentum, especially for Blood Bat Knights.
They wore heavy armor and wielded wide bone shields and three-meter-long Horse-Cutting Sabers.
When charging, the rule is to advance with no retreat, using absolute high-end combat power and the strongest force to crush everything in front directly.
Like heavy tanks, who ever seen a heavy tank engaging in flanking maneuvers? That’s what infantry are supposed to do.
In the world of the living, to become a heavy cavalry, the most important thing is not strong skills, nor reliable companions, nor any metaphysical grand goals.
For heavy cavalry, the most important thing is precisely courage.
Courage can sometimes be very ethereal, but sometimes it can generate enormous power that frightens people.
With each battle, when an army continuously achieves victory, their courage is forged.
Whether you admit it or not, once you enter this army, you can feel the kind of courage that sees all as nothing, as if even the divine spirits can be confronted with swords.
But in an army composed of undead creatures, there is no concept of morale or courage.
As long as the undead lord has one hundred percent control over the undead creatures under his command, these Blood Bat Knights will firmly execute all the lord’s orders.
In a way, this squad of Blood Bat Knights possesses the death-defying courage that all living knights most yearn for.
What Fang Zhou intends to do now is to charge head-on, destroying the enemy’s courage physically and spiritually.
Once heavy cavalry loses courage, they lose the will to charge.
And once heavy cavalry dares not to charge, they are unworthy of being called heavy cavalry!
"Stop for me!"
Fang Zhou positioned his Spiritual Remains Long Spear in front of him, while Sain led over a thousand other Spiritual Remains Knights in the same charging posture.
For other types of cavalry, a cavalry unit is always divided into the rider and the steed as the two components.
Like the Celestial Court Knight Order, the most famous in the Longxia Federation.
Each knight among them possesses incredibly superior skills, capable of fully connecting the power of man and steed.
That way, when the Celestial Court Knights have charged far enough, the instantaneous destructive power generated can even exceed the higher-tier demon units.
However, this charge cannot change direction midway, it is a completely straight forward line.
But Fang Zhou and his Spiritual Remains Knights are not this kind of conventional two-part combined cavalry unit.
Their Spiritual Remains mounts are essentially bone armaments forged from the talents and skills of the Skeleton Race.
Just like the spears in their hands, the armor they wear, and the shields they hold, these bone armaments themselves are part of the Spiritual Remains Knights.
The Spiritual Remains Knights have absolute control over their Spiritual Remains mounts.
For them, whether it’s charging, turning, flying, or retreating, it’s as simple as waving a spear, like eating or drinking water.
This also grants the Spiritual Remains Knight Order unparalleled power and world-conquering confidence.
In equivalent rank and number charge, they would never lose to any cavalry.
..........
On the Bone Plain, the collision of the two undead forces has raised a dust storm that blots out the sky and sun.
Fang Zhou’s Spiritual Remains Knight Order launched a charge amid the neighs of their Skeleton Warhorses.
On each set of bone armor of the Spiritual Remains Knights appeared ghostly green runes, the mark of Corrosive Poison Incarnation.
Their spirit body footprints left spider-webbed corrosive patterns as if the earth itself trembled for this war.
"With bone as shield, with corrosive poison as spear!"
The crack in Fang Zhou’s Blood Moon mask transformed sound waves into tangible green ripples that instantly enveloped the entire Spiritual Remains Knight Order.
A thousand skeletal warhorses jointly emitted a whistle-like neigh, as their bony horseshoes shattered the ground, decaying green mist mixed in the stirred up dust.
Meanwhile, the Vampire Lord’s Blood Bat Knight Order was pressing in like a crimson hurricane.
Every knight rode on giant bat wolves, comparable in size to rhinos.
The dark red blood flowing over the scales of these creatures and the beating of bat wings left blood-colored afterimages in the air.
The Vampire Lord’s crimson warhammer was entwined with a dark purple energy vortex.
The thousand Blood Bat Knights behind him roared in unison, their voices bearing the dual qualities of the living and the undead.
"Let this land remember our fangs!"
With a wave of his warhammer, a scarlet energy wave smashed against the front of Fang Zhou’s line, the ground instantly splitting into web-like bloodstains.
The claws of the thousand bat wolves struck sparks on the ground as the Blood Bat Knight Order transformed into a crimson torrent, initiating a charge at Fang Zhou’s Spiritual Remains Knight Order.
The two undead torrents crashed into each other in the center of the plain.
The clash of bone and bat wings sounded like thunder, the sparks flew from the collision of the Spiritual Remains Knights’ bone blades and the Blood Bat Knights’ blood blades.
Fang Zhou’s Yellow Springs Nightmare shattered the ground, the spear tip erupting with blue light of death spiritual energy, and at the first clash with the Vampire Lord’s crimson warhammer, an energy storm arose within dozens of meters.
The moment the crimson warhammer collided with the Spiritual Remains Long Spear, the two energies exploded in mid-air, forming a thirty-meter diameter energy vortex.
The Vampire Lord’s warhammer, entwined with flesh energy, every strike sought to tear apart Fang Zhou’s spirit body.
"You, a low-level undead, dare to stand equal with me?
Let you witness true power!"
The Vampire Lord smashed the ground with his warhammer, dark purple energy swirling into a flesh vortex around him.
His skin began to peel away, revealing the underlying living tissue, the blood of the bat wolf pack solidified in the air, pouring into his wounds.
This was the ultimate form of flesh splitting, where each drop of lost blood translated into immense strength.
Fang Zhou’s pupils contracted slightly.
The green light of the Corrosive Poison Totem blanketed the battlefield, drastically slowing the Vampire Lord’s regeneration speed.
"Your flesh is nothing but my nourishment."
Fang Zhou’s Spiritual Remains Long Spear suddenly transformed into ten thousand bone spikes, each glowing with corrosive toxic fluid at the tips.
The Vampire Lord’s warhammer blocked, yet the bone spikes penetrated the energy shield, impaling his right arm.
Spirit body transformation!
Dark red blood gushed out but transformed into a corrosive toxic mist upon contact with the radiation of the Corrosive Poison Totem, backfiring on him.
Smoke began to rise from the Vampire Lord’s armor, and the bat wolf pack howled retreat.
"Rank is but a mortal shackle."
Fang Zhou let out a low roar, activating the Blood Moon Incarnation skill.
"Blood Moon Descent!"
Fang Zhou’s bone armor burst into silver-blue light, the pulsation frequency of the corrosive poison heart reaching its peak.
His four-dimensional attributes broke through the shackle of Silver Middle Rank to reach Silver Upper Rank, putting him on the same level as the Vampire Lord.
The spear tip of the Spiritual Remains Long Spear split into a trident, each prong wrapped in death spiritual energy.
At the moment of the explosive increase in four-dimensional attributes, the Spiritual Remains Long Spear transformed into a ghostly blue beam, stabbing straight at the Vampire Lord’s chest.
