Dusko, who was fighting with all his might, felt helpless and humiliated.
The enemies in front of him were just low-level undead creatures summoned by necromancers. Due to the "Acid Mist Swamp", "Wall of Thorns" and other spells, the team was unable to break through and could only be trapped in place to fight against these damned cannon fodder.
It was a depressing feeling. It was not that Takris, who was the strongest in the team, and the few surviving mages did not put up any resistance, but the two enemies were so overwhelmingly powerful that they did not even have the chance to fight to the death.
"Damn it, what should we do?"
Dusko waved the scimitar in his hand with all his might. Although the zombies and skeletons in front of him were slashed away one by one, the frontline did not show any signs of moving forward. In fact, they even retreated more than ten meters. As a cavalry team, Dusko originally had the absolute initiative on the battlefield. However, several small teams that he ordered to break through the encirclement were either trapped by spells or bombarded by a round of spells the moment they left the team. They couldn't even get close to the two necromancers …
Just as Dusko was about to retreat, the people who were affected by the various negative spells suddenly felt their bodies lighten. The "Curse of Fatigue" and "Curse of Deep Sleep" disappeared. The swamp and fog on the ground also gradually disappeared. The undead creatures in front of them also stopped appearing after they were cut down.
The two bastards retreated!
Dusko did his best to control the horse to move forward. The whole team quickly left the battlefield, crushing the remaining undead creatures as they rushed out. At this moment, everyone was scanning the battlefield left and right, but they could not find any traces of the two necromancers.
"It's useless to use the same old trick again!"
Takris snorted coldly. As if to regain his face, he commanded the remaining three necromancers to cast spells together. The spells struck the edge of the node again and again. After the fourth time, they finally succeeded in breaking the "White Fog Labyrinth" enchantment, freeing the team from the interference.
With the enchantment broken, Dusko only had two choices left: continue the chase, or give up and turn around to leave.
Of course, Dusko didn't want to give up the chase. He brought the majority of the main force to eliminate the enemy, but after being toyed with by the two necromancers, he turned around and ran away? How was he going to command this team to continue the battle after returning?
However, just as everyone continued to move forward for a few dozen meters, Dusko suddenly noticed a black mass of people appearing in his field of vision!
Thanks to the [White Mist Labyrinth] enchantment, Dusco and his team had been circling around the enchantment, which caused them to inadvertently shift from their original position to the side of the battlefield. After breaking through the enchantment, they happened to see the undead cavalrymen charging towards the outskirts of the village.
With just one glance, all of the "the awakened" felt a chill seep into their bones.
They had originally thought that this squad was a scouting light cavalry unit, but who would have thought that it would actually be Tasman's elite heavy cavalry unit!
Their black full body armor, standard lances and armoured skeletal warhorses were something that Dusko and his men could never hope to match up to. After all, Dusco and his group of Awakened ones were riding horses selected from human villages. Compared to the military 'Skeleton Warhorses', the difference was like heaven and earth.
They didn't have any weapons or equipment. Dusko looked at the fifty-odd undead creatures and realized that he had completely underestimated the enemy's strength. If this kind of elite heavy cavalry charged over, they wouldn't even be able to stop them, let alone defeat them …
Turning around and running away was the only correct choice.
Without waiting for Dusko to give the order, another team appeared out of nowhere, causing them to be stunned.
The tall warhorses puffed out white smoke in the rain, and the rumbling sound of the horses' hooves was much stronger than the skeletal warhorses'. There were only thirty knights riding on the horses, but each of them was wearing silver armor and holding a lance that seemed to have been cut short. They were charging at full speed the moment they appeared. As onlookers, Dusko and the others could clearly see that this team had a faster charging speed, a more orderly formation, and a more intimidating aura …
At this moment, Dusko and the others looked at each other. When did such a cavalry appear among the "lambs"?
The two teams instantly entered the range of a frontal attack. From Dusko's point of view, although these human knights had powerful equipment, they were at an absolute disadvantage with thirty against fifty. No matter how he looked at it, they had no chance of winning.
But what happened next completely shattered the understanding of the undead.
The human cavalry did not form an arrowhead formation. Instead, they lined up in two rows and raised the seemingly weak lances in their hands. Then, rays of bluish-purple light bloomed from the tip of the lances, and two rounds of "Energy Shock" blasted towards the undead heavy cavalry …
"Boom boom boom!"
In an instant, sand and pebbles flew, and corpses flew everywhere.
The equipment of the Dragon Spear Knights was no longer the same as before. Since Roddy said that he wanted to cultivate the "strongest knight group on the continent", he naturally had to spend a lot of money on "equipment". Not only were these thirty Dragon Spear Knights powerful, but the lances in their hands were also the latest weapon developed by Roddy after he illuminated a series of "technology trees" in Elsen City. Through charging crystals, the lances became a "magic tool" that could instantly cast the simple and crude spell "Energy Shock".
This "Energy Shock" was not the "Arcane Shock" that arcanists used. Instead, it was a very simple one-time release of the energy in the "crystal" in the form of an "energy ball". According to the understanding of modern people, it was a "gun" that could only be fired once.
But because the "charging crystals" were extremely efficient, the "Energy Shock" released from crystals the size of a thumb was almost as powerful as a rocket.
This kind of spear, not counting the crystals, was priced at 3000 gold coins per spear, and this was after the cost was reduced after mass production. War was burning money, and burning money in the right place would give you an advantage that others couldn't hope to achieve. The undead heavy cavalry that was sent flying with their horses was obviously the perfect proof of the power of "money" and "magic".
The two batches of Energy Shock directly turned the undead heavy cavalry that was thirty meters away into flying parts.
It was not that these elite knights were weak, but the force of the impact was beyond their imagination. No matter how heavy they were with their horses, how thick their armor, and how strong they were, they were all a joke in front of such power!
Broken lances, armor fragments, and broken limbs flew backward. In this era of cold weapons that focused on dense charges, the firepower of firearms covered the attack and directly wiped out more than fifty undead cavalry. After the impact swept over, the Dragon Spear Knights found that they did not even need to "kill" anymore.
Because there was no enemy left standing in front of them.
Dusco's expression changed drastically when he saw this scene. The team behind him was so silent that it seemed to be frozen.
And Yogesa, who was hiding among the remaining cavalry, had no idea what the situation was like outside. He only knew that … the two mages who rushed over after receiving his notice had finally locked on the position of that damned archer!
After being suppressed by Roddy's arrows, he immediately used magic to give orders to the two subordinates who were blocking Dusco. These two did not disappoint him. After stepping into the battlefield, they immediately used magic to mark Roddy who was shooting arrows and suppressed his counterattack with a series of attacks.
"Pay attention to protect the shield, I only need three seconds!"
As soon as Yogesa shouted this sentence, he heard Mage Tashili's panicked shout, "How is it possible —"
"Pa!"
A familiar explosion sounded, and the energy wave that represented Tashili disappeared within the range of his mental strength. Yogesa's expression tightened, and he knew that he could not hold back anymore.
The scrolls on his body were torn apart. In order to ensure his absolute safety, Yogesa set up three different types of barrier shields in a row. He even expanded the range of the "Strengthening Bone Prison" spell and cast it on himself. He was completely surrounded by a large area of white bones that shone with a magical luster.
With these spells and the protection of the heavy armored knights around him, it was difficult for the scattered arrows to pose any threat to Yogesa, even if they had an explosive effect.
"White Bone Sacrifice!"
Yogesa broke his left little finger and began to chant a spell after forcibly pulling it off. At the same time, he closed his eyes and locked on the marked area with his mental strength —
"Curse of Aging!"
The broken finger burned and disappeared in the green flames. Yogesa clenched his teeth and overdrew his magic power, forcibly casting the spell.
Fine cracks appeared on the bone staff in his hand. This was the price of casting a high-level "Curse of Aging" that was beyond his level. A low-level "Curse of Aging" could only slow down the target's movement, reaction speed, and physical functions. However, a high-level "Curse of Aging" could kill the enemy remotely when cast in a small area!
Yogesa knew very well that when facing a powerful archer, it was difficult for him to deal effective damage with spells such as "Finger of Death" and "Bone Spear Spell". So, he used the life of one of his subordinates to lock on to Roddy's position, and then cursed him remotely —
Not far away, a figure in leather armor holding a bow and arrow suddenly stopped moving. The trees and grass around him instantly withered and died. Then, the short bow in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, and there was no more sound.
Yogesa did not get up to observe. Instead, he cast the Detection spell again, and only heaved a sigh of relief after getting double confirmation from his subordinate, Moroes. This terrifying archer is finally dead!
Without the threat of arrows, Yogesa immediately drank a mouthful of Supreme Magic Potion and turned his attention to Merlinsera, who had already reduced the giant dragon shadow into a thin mist. He felt that the enemy today was really troublesome …
He removed the bone prison that surrounded him and got back on his warhorse. When he gave the command again, the scene on the battlefield made him a little dumbfounded. Where did the charging cavalry disappear?
They're really gone! There's not even a single injury!
Instead, a team of human cavalry raised their long swords and charged at him …
"What's going on … Go up and stop them!"
Yogesa's expression changed drastically. He angrily commanded the team to face them.
In the shadow of the trees not far away, Roddy, who had used the Level-4 Stealth Spell, looked at the "Water Mirror Image" that had just been cursed and destroyed. He reached for an arrow with a strange arrowhead and slowly pulled the bowstring.
