Chapter 257: Emergence! High-level Tifeng Legion!
Huh~!
The knights who broke out from the Skeleton Legion all showed their relief at surviving the disaster on their faces.
They never thought that these skeletons, who seemed weak on weekdays, would be so ferocious when gathered together.
It's like a surging river, endless killing.
Not to mention them, even the horses under them were panting and covered in blood after breaking through.
There is no blood on the skeleton.
These bloodstains came not only from themselves but also from their comrades who had just died in the battle.
After the fierce battle just now, more than thirty knights left them forever.
There are now less than four hundred knights left in the regiment.
I wonder how many days they can hold on?
Maybe in the next charge, someone among them will lose his life again?
When the knights thought of this, the tension in their hearts became tense again.
How long will this last...
When this thought came to their minds, even they themselves were shocked.
When they first followed the brave knights, they were so ambitious and determined to accomplish great things.
But how long has it been now?
They actually started to feel like retreating!
The knights patted their cheeks and were about to shake off these unnecessary thoughts when an order came:
"All knights, be alert! A large army of monsters is appearing ahead!"
This immediately awakened many knights who were daydreaming.
They stared forward with wide eyes, and when they saw the army of monsters, their hearts sank suddenly.
How many monsters are there?
Not much, less than five thousand.
Compared with the skeleton army that numbered over a hundred thousand just now, the number of the monster army in front of them was simply heaven and earth away.
But that army of monsters was not a force of mid-level monsters, but high-level ones.
A high-level monster!
If there were three or two hundred high-level monsters, they should have turned around and ran away.
What's more, this is a monster army with more than 5,000 people.
If you encounter it, you will die, there is no possibility of survival!
The reason why the Knights are invincible, besides being led by brave knights, the most important thing is that they only attack within the scope of their own capabilities.
At this intermediate stage they are invincible.
But do you want to challenge higher levels?
Forget it, O'Neill doesn't have this idea either.
So he immediately turned the direction of the Shadowhorn Dragon and shouted loudly:
"All troops, listen up! March to the left wing, don't stop!"
Who the hell dares to stop?
The knights gritted their teeth and charged behind Oriel.
They prayed in their hearts that this army of high-level monsters would not chase them.
But how is this possible?
The army of high-level monsters had obviously discovered them, and the moment they ran away, they turned around and chased after them.
"Charge with all your strength! Don't look back!"
Olier's deep voice reached the ears of every knight.
I have to say that the words of the Knight Brave are still very effective.
When the knights heard his calm tone, they immediately became more resolute.
Oriel pushed the ability of [Control] to the maximum, and the speed of the Knights' movement soared wildly.
What's more , with the ability to control the monsters, the Knights moved as fast as a rocket and gradually widened the gap with the high-level monsters behind them.
Even more fortunately, after chasing for a while, the monster army seemed to feel that it was meaningless to chase a group of knights with only a few hundred people, and they slowly stopped and gave up the pursuit.
After receiving the battle report from the Skeleton, Su Bai could only say that it was outrageous, but it was also within his expectations.
No matter what their levels are, the monster army is just a mob.
Among the high-level monsters, there are still a lot of brainless ones.
Expecting them to obey orders and fight is as difficult as hoping a fool to get into a prestigious university.
Every time we fought, we always rushed forward in a huge force.
There is no formation or tactics, just relying on numbers and luck to overwhelm the enemy.
If they encounter a little difficulty or obstacle, they will give up.
There are quite a few who deserted.
These monsters that look extremely ferocious in the wild are just a bunch of useless people who can only show their fangs and claws on the battlefield.
Therefore, humans can always capture the most monsters with very small numbers.
Defeating the majority with the minority is the norm in battles between humans and demons.
Oriel led the Knights and rushed for dozens of miles until they confirmed that the high-level monster army was not continuing to pursue them, and then they returned to the speed of the Shadow Horned Dragon.
“Huh~”
He let out a long sigh, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his limbs felt visibly weak.
This is a sign of extreme physical fatigue.
Not only him, but the other knights and mounts were also exhausted.
The knights' faces turned pale and they were breathing heavily.
Some knights of lower ranks even collapsed on their mounts, unable to move.
The mounts under them were not much better, even though they all had Warcraft bloodlines.
However, after a day and night of running, the mounts were almost completely exhausted.
Some mounts even lay flat on the ground, and no matter how the knights whipped them, they would not get up even though their backs were beaten to a bloody mess.
O'Learn sighed and knew he couldn't go any further.
"All troops, listen up and rest where you are!"
He waved his hand and said so.
The new deputy around him made a suggestion:
"My lord hero, we are not sure whether the monster army has given up the pursuit. We should move forward a little further before we can rest."
O'Leary frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and decided to adopt the advice of his new deputy.
Now is not the time to be soft-hearted, because due to the previous attack, they are further away from the human camp.
If you want to get back to the human camp, you need to take a detour.
This means we have to go a longer way, and judging by the condition of the knights, we definitely can't expect to go back tonight.
There were no reinforcements nearby, so they could only rely on their own strength.
So, under the command of Oriel, the knights had to abandon those mounts that could not be moved and follow the other cavalry on the road.
A large number of mounts were abandoned.
The cavalry regiment, which originally had more than 300 people left, now had less than 200 people capable of charging.
It is the status of the knights and the load of the mounts.
At present, the lethality and speed of their charge are far less than half of their peak period.
It's really like when it rains it pours.
The knights sighed and lamented that they were really unlucky today.
First he encountered an army of skeletons that was ridiculously large in number, and then after escaping he ran into an army of high-level monsters that he had never encountered before.
No one spoke, and the entire knight group fell into silence again after they began to march.
O'Learn at the front also looked annoyed.
Ever since the death of Lieutenant General Barry, there has been no one in the team who can adjust the atmosphere.
The newly appointed deputy is quite capable and has an accurate assessment of the situation.
But he doesn't have the versatility of Bali, and is a traditional person who can't even be beaten with a few sticks.
"My Barry, my brother..."
Thinking of this, Oriel sighed in his heart again, and his hatred for the Purple Skeleton increased a little bit.
"Don't worry, I will avenge you. I will not be a human being until I kill all the skeletons in this land!"
Just as he was angry, suddenly a series of rumbling sounds came into his ears.
O'Neill subconsciously raised his head and looked. The next second his mouth opened wide and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
Huge monsters over three meters in size appeared in his sight.
Gray fur, a tall and strong body, a sharp sword, and a round pig nose...
High-level monsters——
Tifeng!!!
