Kind Tree was born in Qinyin, so he knew how powerful the Qinyin cavalry was. However, he couldn't help himself. He was carried by the six Jade Skeletons as they charged towards the Qinyin cavalry.
The Qinyin heavy cavalry, together with their horses, armor, and weapons, weighed close to a thousand pounds. All the horses of the cavalry were equivalent to level-one to level-two magic beasts. They were not afraid of water or fire. Even if there was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire in front of them, these horses would still charge forward.
The weakest of the Qinyin heavy cavalry was a high-level swordsman. Fully armored, they could wield a weapon that weighed thirty to fifty pounds without a problem.
The horse armor of the heavy cavalry even covered their leg bones. The metal ram in front of their chests could smash through large shields.
The spears of the heavy cavalry were all magic-piercing alchemy equipment. Normal heavy armor would be pierced through in one hit.
The charge of the heavy cavalry, even without any weapons, could shatter all the bones in the body.
If the heavy cavalry were equipped with magic swords, the destructive power would be too shocking. The Wing Skeleton was one of the few undead that was willing to study. It knew the fighting style of Qinyin's army like the back of its hand. How could it be willing to use its undead knights against the heavy cavalry?
It could bully light cavalry, but against heavy cavalry, it needed powerful magic.
Kind Tree raised his magic staff high in the air according to the Wing Skeleton's instructions. Gray ripples spread out violently. The undead army behind him was swept by the gray ripples. As if they had taken an aphrodisiac, they suddenly sped up and charged towards the heavy cavalry.
The originally suppressed speed increased to the limit. Kind Tree pointed his magic staff forward again. This time, the Wing Skeleton activated the magic stored in the staff.
Even a Magic Shooter would not be willing to get so close to the heavy cavalry, unless they were flying in the air without the threat of the alchemy crossbows. Under the control of the Wing Skeleton, Kind Tree, the fake mage, did something that the heavy cavalry could not believe. He urged the skeleton warhorse to meet the Qinyin cavalry head-on.
The physical strength of a Magic Shooter was not comparable to that of a swordsman. Even if his magic could kill one or two hundred people, the rest of the cavalry would be able to take his life.
The magic in the wand was instantly cast, and a dragon condensed from thick black smoke flew out of the wand and plunged into the ranks of the heavy cavalry.
This black dragon had three heads. Wherever it passed, the armor and muscles of Qin Yin's cavalry were reduced to ashes, leaving behind only white bones. Even their horses were not spared.
The black dragon wreaked havoc in the midst of the heavy cavalry. Even a Silver Sword Saint could only temporarily avoid the 8th Rank Undead Magic. This wasn't an area-of-effect spell, but under the control of the Necromancer, it could last for a long time.
Several, dozens, hundreds of heavy cavalrymen were turned into skeletons by the black dragon. Soulfire suddenly ignited in the eyes of these skeletal cavalrymen, and they immediately turned into skeleton cavalrymen. White bone spears appeared in their hands, and they attacked their comrades nearby.
Undead form was a relatively rare necromancy spell. The Winged Skeleton was not a necromancer. He was an undead himself, so it was easier for him to cast or store it. The dragon formed by the thick black smoke was immune to physical attacks. The heavy cavalry could do nothing to this creature formed by magic.
In the blink of an eye, more than three hundred cavalrymen were turned into skeletons by the black dragon.
The Winged Skeleton threw six white-robed Mages to the Jade Skeleton and placed them behind the horses. These six white-robed Mages had already fainted. Although Undead Deterrence wasn't an advanced spell, it was still very effective against these low-level Mages.
The three hundred skeleton cavalrymen completely disrupted the formation of the heavy cavalry. It would be fine if they were directly turned into ashes, but suddenly, their comrades became undead. This had a huge impact on the heavy cavalry.
These heavy cavalry could be considered elites. They all raised their heavy swords and cut the skeleton cavalrymen beside them into pieces. But while they were busy, the undead cavalry had already rushed in front of them. The black dragon slowly dissipated, and another hundred cavalrymen were corroded and turned into skeletons.
One level-eight spell had killed more than four hundred cavalrymen. This was completely unexpected. The formation of the heavy cavalry was too dense. They were behind the chariots, and there was a huge alchemy crossbow opening the way. They didn't expect a Mage to dare to get so close, and a Necromancer at that.
If it was an Elemental Mage, it would be considered lucky if he could cast a spell to kill more than a hundred cavalrymen. If it wasn't for the pursuit of speed, the heavy cavalry would not have been so heavily injured by the undead magic.
The surviving cavalrymen were about to go crazy. Most of them were experienced warriors, and they knew that it was because of the formation that they suffered such heavy losses. The squad leader behind pointed at Kind Tree and roared, "Charge, kill him, don't let him fly!"
Immediately, the cavalrymen slowed down and took out their javelins. As long as Kind Tree tried to fly and left the protection of the surrounding skeletons, these javelins would fly over and shoot him down from the sky.
Kind Tree couldn't fly at all. He was brave, but he had never thought of attacking Qin Yin's main army. He could only pray that the Winged Skeleton wouldn't go crazy again. Throwing away one's life had to be worthwhile.
A squad of forty cavalrymen gathered in one direction and charged at Kind Tree. The Winged Skeleton was overjoyed. He raised his giant axe and charged forward. In the blink of an eye, Kind Tree became a death vortex that attracted the enemies. As a swordsman, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. He could only wave his magic staff and pretend to command the undead.
The Winged Skeleton charged in front. The giant axe's blade was more than a meter long, and any heavy armor would be cut in half. Kacha kacha sounds were like music to the Winged Skeleton. If the enemies didn't target Kind Tree, how could he kill so happily?
Those who dared to threaten his master, one dead would be one less.
Behind the cavalrymen, more than ten rays of magic suddenly lit up. The surviving five hundred cavalrymen finally received the support of magic and fiercely collided with the undead knights.
This was not what the Winged Skeleton wanted to see. In this official collision, more than a hundred undead knights were cut down from their horses. The number of cavalrymen who were injured was less than fifty. Most of the undead knights who fell off their horses didn't die. They turned around and used their broadswords to cut the legs of the enemies' horses. More than ten cavalrymen fell off their horses, rolled on the ground, and stood up, using their heavy swords to counterattack.
This was the Qin Yin cavalry. With the support of magic, the undead knights' death aura was useless against these heavily armored soldiers. In terms of strength, there was not much difference. In terms of technique, the Winged Skeleton couldn't keep so many undead knights fighting at the same time.
These cavalrymen had to be killed. They were a flag regiment's heavy cavalry. If they were killed, the enemy would be heartbroken.
The Winged Skeleton raised the giant axe in its hand and cut the last approaching cavalryman in half. In the bloody light, the five-colored magic in the center of the giant axe shone brightly.
Roar …
With a shrill howl, a death ripple that was more than a hundred meters wide rushed out from the front of the Winged Skeleton. The souls of the hundreds of soldiers it had killed had been absorbed into the giant axe. At this moment, they all cried out in pain.
The death ripple swept past the cavalrymen. These cavalrymen's defensive spells were mostly of the third rank, but under the attack of the eighth rank spell, they were destroyed like pieces of paper.
All the Qin Yin cavalry became numb at this moment, their eyes empty. Their souls were completely shaken. It was as if death had come. The armor that covered their bodies was like the ice of hell, freezing their bones.
The undead cavalrymen were not affected. They slashed at the numb enemies with their large swords, cutting them in half.
The Magicians behind them saw the appearance of the eighth rank spell and immediately stopped advancing. The Winged Skeleton knew when to stop. There were many enemy Magicians. If they continued charging, their undead cavalrymen would suffer heavy losses.
Kind Wood waved his magic staff, and the six jade skulls protected him as they started to escape towards the town.
If they were surrounded by more than 20,000 people and fought to the death, the Winged Skeleton would release more undead. These undead were mainly used on warships. There were not many undead suitable for fighting on land.
The Winged Skeleton also knew that in a main army of Qin Yin, there were two flag regiments of heavy cavalry. Now that the enemy Magicians were pressing on, it was impossible to destroy half of the enemy's heavy cavalry in one go.
After a few charges, there were only about six hundred undead cavalrymen left. The undead cavalrymen who had lost their warhorses also ran back, but their speed was much slower. The Winged Skeleton could not care less about these undead. It could only let them kill as many enemies as possible. After being killed, these undead returned to the Undead Plane. It was unknown how long it would take for them to recover their strength, let alone when they could be summoned again.
Presumably, Qin Yin's Magicians were not so bored. It would take too many magic strings to completely kill all these undead.
The Winged Skeleton killed two thousand light cavalrymen, a thousand heavy cavalrymen, and more than one thousand three hundred infantrymen. Such a result could only be described as glorious. Now that he was running back, he was in an extremely good mood.
Qin Yin's army could not catch up to his undead cavalrymen, so they could only vent their anger on the fallen undead. Hundreds of light cavalrymen circled around and shot down the undead that lagged behind one by one. The infantrymen rushed up and smashed the bones. The soul flames dissipated and were reborn in the Undead Plane. However, they were dim and could only hide in the depths of the earth, waiting for a chance to revive.
Qin Yin's army lost the vanguard and the heavy cavalry that opened the way. The camp general was furious, but they could not chase the necromancers in time and were blocked by thousands of undead soldiers. These thousands of soldiers were very scattered. As soon as an enemy approached, they would self-destruct.
The ground was covered in corpse fluid and poisonous gas filled the air. Qin Yin's army could only organize Magicians to disperse the poison.
After bypassing the undead soldiers, the Winged Skeleton had already entered the town with his six hundred undead cavalrymen and closed the city gates.
Losing a thousand cavalrymen to necromancers in such a short period of time, the camp general was not only furious, but his heart also felt cold. What a cruel necromancer. This was completely different from the intelligence!
The target town did not even have a name. It was just a temporary garrison that Rex had set up. How could there be a cruel and merciless necromancer in such a place?
