Of course, it was impossible for a dozen Paladins to wipe out all the undead monsters.
The dwarves rushed to the flank of the Paladins. They generally carried heavy weapons, such as axes or twin hammers. Their hammers were heavier than the Paladins' single hammers. It was not clear how these dwarves were so strong.
Another problem was the dwarves' mobility, which also subverted the players' worldview.
They thought that their short legs would run very slowly, but this was not the case. The dwarves' legs were as fast as wheels.
The dwarves were like cannonballs rolling on the ground. They perfectly completed the protection of the Paladins' flanks, as if they had practiced it countless times.
Wherever these two groups passed, it was like plowed black soil. There were Undead everywhere. Some were already dead, and some were still struggling at death's door. After all, they were the weakest species, and it was impossible for them to stop these valiant knights and dwarves.
Lu Li and the others followed behind and spread their skills all the way, killing a number of undead and dropping a lot of equipment.
Some people were specifically cleaning up the battlefield, and these equipment would be the main harvest of this operation. After all, Lu Li did not know if Tirion Fordring could still give everyone rewards.
At the beginning, the battle was indeed unstoppable, but the vanguard soon encountered stubborn resistance.
After all, at the beginning, most of the enemies they encountered were cannon fodder such as Skeleton Warriors and Zombies. The former were formed by Wizards of the Cursed using witchcraft to directly manipulate the bones in the corpses. They were fragile and moved slowly. The latter were formed by the plague or dark magic spread by the Church of the Cursed to directly resurrect dead corpses. They retained some of the dead's abilities when they were alive. Compared to Skeleton Warriors, they had a certain level of intelligence and moved much faster.
But in any case, these were cannon fodder characters. A normal player could deal with one by themselves, and if a party attacked together, they could kill them easily.
But gradually, Banshees began to appear.
Banshees were basically created and born by the Lich King. They were bodiless spirits controlled by natural disasters. Banshees were usually powerful magic units when they were alive. This allowed Banshees to retain some of their magic characteristics when they were alive. They had powerful curse magic and defensive shields that could resist magic attacks. Most Banshees could also occupy the bodies of enemy units through charm, which was quite terrifying.
Players could be controlled to attack their own allies.
Neither the Holy Knights nor the Dwarves were afraid of these Banshees. If a Banshee got close to a Holy Knight, she might be burned to death. However, the Banshee that possessed the Dwarves never came out again, and the Dwarves continued to fight as if nothing had happened.
Skeleton Mages and Abominations always became a combat team that could be used in both close and long range combat. If players wanted to defeat this complete combat team, they would often have to pay a certain price.
What forced the vanguard to stop was the Death Knight.
The Death Knights' quick and destructive charge could easily tear through any defensive line. In fact, compared to traditional cavalry charges, the Death Knights were even more terrifying because they also had the ability to cast magic.
Fortunately, there weren't many Death Knights here.
When the paladins brought by Tirion Fordring saw these death knights, they changed their previous silence and roared in unison.
Then, their bodies emitted an even more dazzling holy light.
Lu Li rubbed his eyes. He seemed to see tears on the faces of the Paladins. When he looked closely, he was sure that some of the Paladins had tears on their faces.
He pondered for a moment and roughly guessed the reason.
Although there was no absolute certainty that a Paladin could be transformed into a Death Knight, the success rate of the transformation was much higher. Therefore, the Scourge Army had a high demand for Paladins. If they encountered a Paladin, they would either capture them alive or bring their corpses back.
The transformation of a living person was very painful, but the success rate was higher and the strength after the transformation was stronger.
The Death Knights in front of them might have been Paladins when they were alive. The paladins brought by Tirion Fordring obviously recognized their former comrades. They might have fought side by side or even saved each other's lives, but now they were going to fight each other and become mortal enemies.
In the blink of an eye, the Death Knights immediately collided with the Paladins after they appeared.
There was no pity or hesitation in their hearts, and the same was true for the Paladins. NPCs could not easily choose a profession to obtain the power of the Holy Light like players. They needed talent and willpower, and every Paladin had willpower that ordinary people could not.
In their eyes, their former comrades were now enemies who would not rest until one of them died.
"Press forward. Mages, use your lock-on skills to attack the Death Knights. Pull the surrounding monsters out and fight them. Hunters, use your traps." Lu Li landed from mid-air and joined the battle.
At this time, there was not much need to command and observe the enemy's situation. The main lineup of both sides was already locked in battle.
Although the Death Knights had lost the Holy Light, they had gained new power and were stronger than when they were alive. Therefore, ordinary Paladins could not beat them at all. Fortunately, the Paladins did not have the stale spirit of fighting one-on-one. The player Paladins put away their mounts and rushed to help. Four or five player Paladins helped a Silver Hand Paladin, one of which was a Healing Paladin.
The advantage of the Death Knights suddenly disappeared.
One by one, the Death Knights fell and were purified. The Scourge Army was defeated in the face of absolute strength in numbers.
The Silver Hand Paladins, Wildhammer Dwarves, and countless adventurers. Lu Li could proudly say that any of the three groups of forces he had gathered could shock Tyr's Hand. Now that these three groups of forces were twisted into a rope, there was naturally no reason for them to be at a disadvantage.
The Silver Hand was trying their best to save their comrades.
The Wildhammer Dwarves wanted to take down Tyr's Hand and protect their home, so their eyes were bloodshot.
As for Lu Li's 20,000 people, of course, they were killing the Boss to drop equipment. Just along the way, they had picked up countless Dark Gold equipment. They could also get Legendary equipment from the quasi-Bosses. It felt like such a battle was more rewarding than a week of dungeons.
No wonder those large clubs were so confident. Strength in numbers was not a simple addition. When the number of people reached a certain scale, they could do more things.
Moreover, Lu Li's casualties were very small. With the Paladins and the Wildhammer Dwarves in front, everyone only had to focus on dealing damage. Sometimes, even if there was a fish that slipped through the net, it would be quickly pulled by a few defensive professions. Then, a large number of skills would be stacked on top of each other, and the battle would be over in minutes.
"Rest where you are," Tirion Fordring gradually withdrew the Holy Light on his body, stopping everyone from moving forward.
The Paladins and Dwarves stopped, especially the Paladins. They had to dismount to let their warhorses recover their strength. Some even used the Holy Light to heal the wounds on their warhorses.
"There is a powerful existence rushing over from the direction of Lake Miredal. We must rest for a while before we fight," Tirion Fordring said to Lu Li. Although he was unusually brave, he was also feeling tired after fighting for a long time.
"Sky Moon, there is a Boss moving over there. Stop him in batches," Lu Li sent a message to Sky Moon.
