Chapter 936 - 579: Glory Summon, Undead Cavalry, Remarkable Achievement! (Part 2)
"Awoo!"
Suddenly, Glory Champion Shaman Edward let out a strange yell.
Relying on his keen danger perception, he felt as though needles were pricking him from all around.
He knew this meant that the Erosion Blade of that human was near him.
No time to confront Lv Jinglei now, preserving his own life was most important.
Various items were activated by Edwardβsome for attack, some for defense, some to strengthen himself or weaken the enemy, and even releasing deadly poison around him.
But the attack from the Erosion Blade never came.
The feeling of a sword hanging over his head was very unpleasant, forcing Edward to constantly guard against attacks from some dark corner while casting magic.
The battlefield's situation was like either the east wind overwhelming the west wind, or vice versa.
Edward, this Glory Champion level Shaman, was distracted in the magical confrontation with Lv Jinglei. Unfortunately, it was the Beastmen soldiers who suffered.
Strike while the iron is hot.
The assassin who hasn't struck is the most dangerous one.
Lv Jinglei, the Glory Mage, was well aware of this.
While Ping Haining helped distract most of Edward's attention, he entered a frenzy casting mode, leading the Mage Corps where Fang Zhou was to bombard the most elite forces of the Beastmen.
In a cacophony of ghostly wails and howls, over a hundred elite Beastmen soldiers fell under the magical barrage of the Human Mage Corps.
"Boom!"
Meanwhile, after great efforts, Headhunter Warrior Arthur finally slew the Storm Giant Spirit blocking his path like a tiger.
The scattered mana from the Spirit projection fell to the ground.
"My war axe has long been hungry and thirsty!"
Arthur howled, brandishing the war axe in his hands, charging into a nearby battlefield.
The war axe felt weightless in his grasp, expected to bring a rain of blood and gore, but a Glory Champion level Combat Professional suddenly dashed from the human army side to block his blade.
It was Ning Danxin who had been lurking in the battle array.
Damn!
Looking at the human female Berserker, much smaller in stature before him, Arthur felt furious.
Berserkers of the Golden Body series are among the hardest professions to kill.
Although this enemy's Battle Qi fluctuated far weaker than his, she seemed to have just entered Glory Champion level not long ago, but if she stalled him, their warriors would be in trouble.
And at this time, Lv Jinglei cast a second summoning magic.
Glory Magic: Summon Storm Giant Spirit!
"Boom!!"
A whirlwind appeared on the battlefield, and another half-transparent Storm Giant Spirit emerged from the summoning array.
This Spirit also like the previous summoned creature. It was wrapped in a perpetual hurricane, with tiny wind blades interspersed within.
The hurricane wrecked the entire battlefield, sand and stones flying, making it hard for the warriors fighting to see the enemy at close quarters.
As a product of consecutive summoning, the size of this Storm Giant Spirit projection was somewhat smaller, and its combat power much weaker than the previous one.
However, it was terrifying enough to deal with ordinary Beastmen soldiers.
The Storm Giant Spirit descended onto the battlefield, with hurricane and wind blades following every movement.
These tiny wind blades swirled around like a shoal of piranhas in water, dense yet incredibly sharp.
Wherever the hurricane swept, even the color of the wind turned blood-red.
The numerous Beastman Warriors, whether Apprentice level, Black Iron level, or Bronze level, regardless of whether they wore armor or not, when the hurricane faded, only bloody, broken bones remained, their flesh scattered with the wind.
"Coward, all you do is summon!"
Watching this scene, Arthur's eyes widened in fury.
He yelled, but was tightly entangled by Ning Danxin, with no other recourse.
He could only watch as the Storm Giant Spirit barged into their battle array, sweeping his soldiers away like leaves in a gale.
..............
In a corner of the battlefield, a large force of elite human knights gathered, including two hundred Silver Pegasus Knights from the Dawn Legion and Iron Wolf Knights from Beast Fighting City.
These elite knights, all at Silver Tier, had been waiting here for half a day.
Trailing behind them were over three thousand Black Iron and Bronze Tier knights.
Most notably, among these human knights, there were ten terrifying Silver Blood Spirit Knights with menacing appearances, along with nearly a hundred Bronze level Spiritual Remains Knights floating above ground, surrounded by blue flames.
These were naturally the Undead Cavalry contributed by Fang Zhou.
He wasn't afraid of battle losses anyway.
As an Undead Mage, in such a decisive battle, as long as they won, he was bound to reap rewards.
Even if these Blood Spirit Knights and Spiritual Remains Knights all perished in battle, as long as enough battle merits were earned, Fang Zhou could exchange for enough Silver Tier Beastman corpses to craft more Silver Tier Artificial Undead.
..............
Fang Zhou closely monitored the movements of his cavalry troops through the soul link with the Artificial Undead.
At this time, the second Storm Giant Spirit summoned by Glory Mage Lv Jinglei had wreaked havoc across the Beastmen war.
Clearly, such a vast cavalry force had found a defensive breach in the Beastmen's formation, ready to launch an attack.
Lv Jinglei directed numerous elite middle-high tier mages to cast spells around the cavalry troops.
Various enhancement and defensive spells continuously fell upon them.
Group Gale Skill!
Group Resistance Position!
Group Bloodthirst Skill!
Group Stone Skin Skill!
Vampire Transformation!
False Life!
Anti-Magic Cloak!
.........
These middle-high tier enhancement magics illuminated the elite knights, making them resemble radiant light bulbs.
At the forefront of the cavalry formation, a Golden Level Earth Knight rode a massive Swift Dragon.
He lowered his visor, his long lance directly pointing at the weak point of the Beastmen lines.
"Charge with me!!!"
"Kill!!!"
The knights behind him roared, following the high tier Knight Commander leading the charge.
"Boom!!!"
The thunderous rumble, like a mountain crumbling, echoed on the battlefield.
The trampling sound of hooves exceeded even the hurricane roar from the Storm Giant Spirit.
On the Era of Myth battlefield, a powerful Knight Order formed by high tier knights was always the sharpest weapon of the attackers.
The dynamic stream of knights could tear apart any defense that was not solid enough, opening a path to victory for their side.
Both the humans from Beast Fighting City and the Beastmen from Northern Wilderness understood this very well.
However, the impoverished Beastman Tribe, weakened for years, couldn't assemble a decent cavalry force.
While the military of Beast Fighting City, backed by the resource-rich Fierce Beast Mountain Range, cultivated fertile lands for years, amassing wealth.
This time, reinforced by the Silver Pegasus Knights from Calamity Sun Demon Country's Dawn Legion, a powerful cavalry force was formed, unprecedentedly strong.
And this would undoubtedly be the key to determining the outcome of this great battle.
.........
At this moment, a Beastman soldier heard the thunderous sound and looked up to see the ever-approaching human cavaliers.
He cried out in terror, warning his comrades.
"Defense!!!"
"Form ranks!"
The Beastman officer, seasoned with experience.
Without a similarly elite cavalry force to counter-charge, they could only rely on well-ordered heavy infantry lines to defend.
Theoretically, as long as the infantry maintained formation, regardless of the enemy's high tier cavalry charge, they could hold off.
And if they held off the first wave of cavalry charge, as the cavalry slowed down, they could be easier to handle than ordinary infantry.
Beastmen soldiers formed well-ordered lines, their shields shouldered, long and sharp spears set up, enhanced with Battle Qi.
"Raise your spears, charge!!!"
"Boom!"
Leading the charge, the human Golden Tier Earth Knight shouted, his voice boosted by Battle Qi, resonating through the entire charging formation.
