There was only one mark on this Magic Shooter's black robe. He was a level-seven Magic Shooter. He had just advanced, so he was very cautious and was used to staying within the protection of the warriors.
Salin saw this level-seven Magic Shooter from afar and frowned. He was hoping to see the level-eight Magic Shooter. According to the Wing Skeleton's description, the level-eight Magic Shooter was very powerful, probably about to advance to level-nine. If he could kill this kind of person, it would be a shock to the enemy. Salin was not afraid of this level-seven Magic Shooter in a one-on-one fight. He had the Water Puppet and Crystal Finger. As long as he got close, this Magic Shooter would definitely die.
This kind of target was not worth Salin's time. If he attacked, he would expose his skills.
"Trish, you four, go kill the cavalry protecting the Mages." Salin pointed to the distance. Trish and the other demons nodded, took out their weapons, and sneaked through the gaps of the undead. Salin's heavy infantry had already circled to the sides and turned to the back. The heavy infantry had to ride their horses and retreat in advance. Fortunately, there was a gap in the camp, and the four thousand heavy cavalry of the Kushui Prefectural Kingdom rushed in on skeleton warhorses.
Without the skeleton warhorses, it would be very dangerous for these heavy cavalry to enter the camp. In such a cramped environment, the heavy cavalry lost their momentum and were easily stabbed down by the infantry's spears.
Outside the camp, the catapults had already thrown out all the oil bags. The catapults were directly smashed and abandoned. The light infantry fighting in the camp gradually withdrew from the camp, mounted their horses and empty carriages, and quickly retreated.
Inside the camp, there were less than a thousand light cavalry and four thousand heavy cavalry left. The rest were Salin's bodyguards and the undead.
This time, Salin finally saw the momentum of Qin Yin's heavy cavalry. These cavalrymen formed a row of eight, holding crossbows in their hands. Using the strength of the skeleton warhorses, they fiercely attacked the barely organized formation of the Cloud Flow people. The crossbows were not heavy weapons, but in the hands of these Qin Yin heavy cavalry, they displayed the power of a giant spear.
The crossbows easily stabbed into the infantry's chest, and with a shake, blood splattered. A small team of five cavalry could completely scatter the enemy's two hundred infantry in a single round, and then change direction to attack again. In the narrow camp, these people from the Bitter Water Prefecture seemed to be on a vast plain, coming and going like the wind.
Salin's troops suddenly attacked. The second level of the camp was another camp wall, and the cavalry did not attempt to pass through it. They only carried out a massacre on the first level of the camp.
Every soldier on Cloud Flow's archery tower who tried to attack with their alchemy crossbows were shot down by Elinor accurately. The crossbows and crossbows in the infantry's hands were useless against the heavy armor of the heavy cavalry. Occasionally, there would be infantrymen in the distance who managed to fire their crossbows with great difficulty, only to become the target of the cavalry's charge.
The lethality of the foot-mounted crossbow was not small, and it could often pierce through heavy armor. Once the injured Kushui Commandery's cavalry were hit by the arrow, they immediately retreated. Their mounts were skeletal warhorses, so they were not afraid of arrows at all. As long as the injured cavalrymen could stay on their horses, they would definitely not be left behind by the enemy.
The reason for this was that Salin's heavy infantry, armed with axes and halberds, had already cleared the obstacles in the camp. The sturdy barracks, wooden stakes, and some metal barricades had all been destroyed by the heavy infantry. Without any obstacles for the cavalry, it was a nightmare for the majority of the Cloud Flow people who had woken up from their sleep and had not yet donned their armor.
The bugle horns and war drums on the pier became more and more urgent. Salin smiled and gave the order to retreat. This order was only for the heavy cavalry. After a round of fighting, the heavy cavalry had not even lost twenty men, but more than two hundred had been injured by the crossbows. If the battle continued, more than twenty of the soldiers would be injured.
While the enemy's main force had yet to appear, Salin decided to retreat first and let the revenants hold them off for a while.
The Cloud Flow Magic Shooter flew over. He was not fast, but the two hundred cavalrymen below him rushed out of the wooden gate in the middle of the camp and turned in Salin's direction. They charged into the revenants, the golden short spears in their hands stabbing out rapidly. With every strike, a revenant would fall.
The Wing Skeleton, who was leading the three Jade Skeletons to kill the Cloud Flow soldiers, suddenly turned around and looked at the Magic Shooter in the sky.
Even if the Wing Skeleton did not use necromancy magic, his killing speed was faster than anyone else's. When he swung his four-meter-long axe, even the Jade Skeletons did not dare to get close to him. The Magic Shooter could see clearly from the sky that wherever the two-meter-tall skeleton passed, there was a ground full of dismembered corpses.
Then, the Magic Shooter saw three fully armored skeletons behind the tall skeleton, protecting the black-robed Mage. Alarmed, the Magic Shooter turned and fled.
The Wing Skeleton looked up and immediately felt unlucky. Cloud Flow's Magic Shooter was also so cowardly. Also, this Magic Shooter fled shamelessly. Without any warning, he turned and left without even informing the soldiers protecting him.
The two hundred cavalrymen were still charging forward, not knowing that the Magic Shooter in the sky had already fled.
Where was the dignity of a Mage?
The Kushui Prefectural Kingdom's cavalrymen had already broken through the first layer of the camp. The Wing Skeleton had slaughtered the soldiers to attract the attention of the Mages. It had not expected that bringing Kind Tree along would be a mistake. The two marks on Kind Tree's magic robe had scared the enemy away.
However, this place was less than three miles away from the dock. The 8th Rank Magic Shooter on the warship would definitely not flee like this shameless guy. When the Wing Skeleton thought of this, it did not fly up to chase after the 7th Rank Magic Shooter. After all, this was a bit dangerous. The 7th Rank Magic Shooter had lost his ability to fight and released an 8th Rank Magic Shooter, which would be a threat to the Wing Skeleton.
There were twenty thousand soldiers in the first layer of the camp. The two sides of the camp were on fire, but the Mages did not rush up to put out the fire. Instead, they hid behind the Cloud Flow soldiers and did not attack the soldiers that entered the camp. The number of Cloud Flow's Mages was much less than Qin Yin's. In the army, they were only about a third of Qin Yin's.
These white-robed Mages had been preparing to dispel the Undead's Corrosion or Poison skills, but the Undead just did not release their magic. The Mages did not dare to casually use their Magic Strings, so they had nothing to do.
The Wing Skeleton did not create Necromancers or lower ranked Souls, so the AoE Corrosion skill did not appear. If they used this skill, and the enemy did not use the Mages to dispel it, the armor and weapons of the soldiers would slowly be damaged. They would also be very brittle in battle, easily breaking and shattering.
Salin suddenly thought of retreating. The Cloud Flow Camp had been divided into a few squares, and there were still camp walls between each camp. It was impossible to charge deep into the camp. The Cloud Flow Fleet's Mages should have arrived by now.
Thinking of this, Salin signaled Isabella. Isabella raised her hand and released a light spell. A huge pillar of light soared into the sky. This was a light alarm spell. When used at night, it could be seen from more than ten miles away.
When the Kushui Prefectural Cavalry saw the pillar of light shooting into the sky, they immediately organized an orderly retreat. Even the Undead were slowly retreating under the Wing Skeleton's control.
Only then did the two hundred cavalrymen realize that the Magician above them had escaped. However, they could not stop their horses. The two hundred cavalrymen had already penetrated deep into the ranks of the undead. They bumped into the skeletal apes led by the Winged Skeleton.
The four-meter-tall Bone Apes were not powerful Undead, but like the Bone Demons, they were astonishingly strong. The Bone Apes waved their sharp claws. They did not use any tricks, just heavy and fast.
These two hundred Cavalry were the strongest Cavalry in Cloud Flow's army apart from the Beast Swordsmen. Before they ran into the Bone Apes, they were not injured. Skeletons, fangs, and other Undead creatures were all killed with a single strike.
A row of skeletal apes forcibly stopped the two hundred cavalrymen in their tracks. With a loud bang, dozens of cavalrymen fell off their horses. The skeletal apes' claws had smashed the horses' skulls into pieces. The Cavalry's golden spears also pierced into the Bone Apes' chests. Because of the height, the Cavalry's spears did not have a chance to pierce the Ape's eyes. The Bone Apes casually pulled out the golden spears, threw them to the side, and pounced at the Cavalry behind them.
The Cloud Flow people's reaction was not fast. Salin's Heavy Cavalry slowly retreated. The first layer of the camp had not been able to organize a counterattack. In fact, it was impossible to organize a counterattack. More than twenty thousand people had been completely slaughtered. Only three thousand people were left to protect the Mages.
The Mages finally made their move. Most of the three thousand soldiers were enchanted and blocked the Skeleton Soldiers' attacks.
Salin sighed. He had not attracted any worthy targets. If this dragged on and the enemy's powerhouses attacked at the same time, his subordinates would suffer serious losses. If he had known this would happen, he would have left that Rank Seven Magic Shooter alive. It would have been a huge victory.
The Bone Apes blocked the Cavalry's advance. At this time, four Demons suddenly passed the Bone Apes and charged into the Cavalry's formation. Eva swung her Meteor Hammer. The Cavalry was caught off guard, and a dozen of them were sent flying. These dozen Cavalrymen all had broken bones and tendons. Two of them were hit in the head, and their skulls were directly shattered.
The six Mages in white robes cast a dozen defensive spells on Dorothy. Dorothy was emboldened. First, she cast a Mind Storm, and the dozens of Cavalrymen in front of her suddenly stiffened. Their heads felt like they were going to explode. Rolla swung his Zhanmadao, and the sawtooth on the side of the Zhanmadao cut open the Cavalry's magic armor. Blood spurted out. These people were basically sitting on their horses, letting Rolla test his weapon.
Trish, on the other hand, picked up a golden spear. She moved like a ghost, shuttling among the warhorses. Every time she stabbed with her spear, a bloody hole would appear in the face of a Cavalry. The metal mask could not stop the Greater Demon's stab.
Just as the Undead Army was about to leave the camp, two High Mages flew over from the direction of the dock.
Salin's heart tightened, and he sped up his retreat. A Rank Seven High Mage and an Rank Eight High Mage were not easy to deal with. If the enemy had a Rank Nine Magic Scroll …
Salin immediately ordered his bodyguards to take out the Elven Alchemy Crossbows. These two hundred people unloaded their crossbows at the same time and activated the magic array. The arms of the Elven Alchemy Crossbows opened, and the handles popped up.
