Alien Knights

Cumberland said to the adjutant beside him: "Give the order and prepare for war!"

The long horn sounded, and the knights of the Muxi Knights began to urge their horses and began to slowly advance towards the battlefield.

As the distance traveled increased, the knights adopted a rare loose formation, and the gaps between the knights became wider and wider.

After the knights advanced three hundred meters, the marching drums also sounded from the Crusaders.

The first phalanx and the second phalanx, one behind the other, almost right next to each other, moved at the same time. The two began to chase the knights at a very slow speed.

The knights marched forward for about two kilometers and gradually dispersed into more than a dozen regiments.

The Crusader's first and second phalanxes were already nearly a kilometer behind the knights, following at a distance with no intention of increasing their speed.

As for the third formation of the Crusaders, the lizardmen, ratmen, and dwarves... stayed in place, still not moving at all.

Standing on the makeshift watchtower on the city wall, Cumberland looked into the distance with a monocular telescope and said to the adjutant: "Tell those young men to remember that the most important thing is to keep a distance and take advantage of the speed difference."

The adjutant nodded, and the hive communicator on his dragon bone armor began to make a slight sound.

After conveying the order, the adjutant glanced at the telescope in Cumberland's hand and whispered: "Sir, the eagle eye power is a very convenient ability."

Cumberland waved his hand while observing the battlefield: "I don't like those messy things. On the battlefield, the only thing a knight can rely on is the sword in his hand and the horse underneath him."

The adjutant glanced at the dragon bone armor on Cumberland's body, shrugged and said nothing.

The knights marched another three kilometers and finally stopped on the grassland about five kilometers away from the city wall of Muxi City.

At this moment, on the distant horizon, black dots appeared one after another, and then a large black mass of undead roared and staggered towards them.

Those undead souls have rotten flesh and dazzling white bones, and the violently twisting black parasites are like tentacles, swinging constantly on their bodies. If you distinguish them carefully, their faces can still be vaguely recognized as they were in life.

The original identities of farmers, craftsmen, soldiers, and nobles are no longer of any use in the face of death.

In addition to the original humans, what is even more eye-catching is a large group of livestock and wild beasts.

Cats, dogs, cows, pigs, wolves, bears...

The fur on these animals has long since rotted into gray-white color, revealing black and purple carrion.

Cumberland, who was observing the undead, put down his telescope and whispered: "There are more people than imagined."

The adjutant came closer and said: "As the corpse tide moves, it will continue to absorb the wandering undead, so the number will become larger and larger. Moreover, when the Valkyrie counts the numbers from high altitude, large targets such as humans and livestock are easy to count, but similar Small targets like cats and dogs are easy to ignore.”

Cumberland said: "There is no use thinking about these now. Let the Valkyries take off, we need their support... everything will be fought according to the original plan."

Adjutant: "Yes! Grand Commander!"

Dozens of Valkyries riding griffons slowly rose into the sky from the city, and the Muxi Knights also began to advance.

More than ten regiments composed of hundreds of knights began to approach the corpse tide from multiple directions.

As for the first and second phalanxes of the Crusaders, the distance from the Knights at this time has exceeded three kilometers.

At this moment, an order directed at the Crusaders reached the ears of every soldier - stay where you are and don't move without permission.

Walking at the forefront of the battle formation, the orc Carol, who was ordered to stop, grabbed the double-edged ax in his hand, stretched his neck and looked forward and asked: "Why do we stop?"

The werewolf Aldenan standing next to him said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with this? If those guys on horseback can get rid of those undead, we just have to watch."

Carroll glared at Aldnan.

At this time, more than a dozen knights were approaching from all directions, less than 500 meters away from the corpse tide.

Finally, some undead noticed these approaching knights.

With a deafening roar, the undead began to rush towards the nearest knight group. The entire zombie wave immediately fell apart and turned into dozens of corpses running wildly on the grassland.

The knight commander at the head of the knights' regiment used the honeycomb on the keel to send a signal, and the entire regiment quickly turned their horses' heads and evacuated quickly in the opposite direction.

In this way, more than a dozen knights led the scattered groups of corpses and started running in different directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.

Among them, two knight regiments attracted about three hundred undead and retreated towards the phalanx of the Crusaders.

Cumberland, standing on the watchtower, stared at the group of undead charging towards the Crusaders, and said, "It's their turn to contribute."

The adjutant who was using hive communication suddenly raised his head and said to Cumberland: "Grand Commander, Team Nine has discovered a rapidly mutated undead spirit."

Hearing this, Cumberland quickly picked up his telescope and looked. Among the group of undead in the northwest of the battlefield, there was an undead wearing a gray-white coat. It was running fast on the ground with its limbs together like a leopard. It had almost reached The speed of the alien war horse.

Cumberland said in a deep voice: "Get rid of him!"

A few seconds later, a Valkyrie hovering in the air commanded the gryphon to approach the 9th Knight Regiment. She raised her bow and arrow and aimed at the fast-moving alienated undead that was chasing after her. She nailed the opponent with one arrow. on the grass.

Facing the rapidly approaching group of corpses, the Crusader commander beat the drum for battle.

The orcs and tauren set up giant shields as tall as one person, the werewolves raised their crossbows, and the elves, gorgon and velvet people all walked to the space behind the shield wall, observing the battle situation and starting to prepare. The release of supernatural powers.

Soon, the knights responsible for luring the enemy retreated to the near side of the Crusaders, and the first group of undead had already rushed to a position less than 300 meters away from the Crusaders' position.

The Crusader Commander roared, and the werewolves pulled the crossbow first.

A hail of crossbow arrows was fired at the group of corpses, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of undead souls were shot to the ground.

The werewolves put the crossbow in their hands on the ground, took off another crossbow from the backs of the orcs and tauren in front of them, and shot at the corpses again.

After two rounds of shooting, the impact of the corpse group became much more dispersed.

The ones rushing at the front are the smaller and faster undead animals, such as cats, dogs, wolves, etc.; behind them are the undead spirits of humans and livestock.

The velvet men waved their arms, the water vapor in the air began to condense, and large tracts of raindrops fell on the grass in front of the position.

The elves with ice powers began to cool down the front, and the wet grass instantly froze and turned into smooth ice.

The undead souls that rushed onto the ice were unable to maintain a stable posture and fell to the ground one after another, their speeds greatly reduced.

Then, under the cover of the orcs and tauren, the fire and electric elves began to clear out the undead that could not stand on the ice one by one.

Occasionally, a few lucky undead can escape the intensive attacks and get close to the position of less than ten meters from the Crusaders' position.

However, the Gorgons with the ability to petrify became the strongest barrier to the Crusaders' defense line, turning them into piles of stones.

Not to mention, the Valkyries constantly hovering in the sky are also constantly helping to clean up the undead.

Soon, the first batch of about three hundred corpses were cleaned up.

While observing the battle situation, Cumberland said to the adjutant: "Let the Crusaders retreat one hundred meters back and not get close to the corpses of the undead; also, let the next team lead the undead over."
