Lord of Rot

Chapter 293 Undead Cavalry, Charge!
"Squeak!"

A corpse covered in thorns and vines was scratching the city wall, and the instinctive desire of the body made it want to rush up.

Beside him, there are nearly a hundred companions who are dominated by the same instinct.

Rumble.

The gate of the castle in the distance opened suddenly, and the body shook, like a moth chasing an unreachable flame, and suddenly found a burning fire behind him.

The group of corpses turned quickly and rushed towards the open gate of the Iron Wall Fortress.

The scene of hundreds of corpses rushing forward with their teeth and claws is really shocking.

Inside the Iron Fortress.

The sudden gathering of the army has attracted the attention of the residents, but some residents who were temporarily recruited as security forces to maintain order have already built a protective wall with hard wooden sticks to stop curious people.

The crowd exploded when the gates of the castle opened and the twisted and struggling monster tried to rush in.

The new lord actually opened the gate of the castle. What did he want to do? This is the last line of defense!

"Shield Wall!"

Li Qi shouted on the horse, he didn't care what the residents in the Iron Wall Fort thought, and staying here would be his own death.

Hundreds of soldiers set up their shields and took the initiative to meet the rushing corpses.

Boom!
The corpse collided with the first row of shield-bearing soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the second row rushed over and pressed against the backs of the soldiers in the front row.

Come back to the third row!
The multiple shield walls built by full-armored soldiers successfully blocked the most ferocious culling of thorny vine corpses with just a slight shake at the beginning.

The shield wall completely established a steel defense line, blocking the corpses from the opened gate of the Iron Wall Fortress.

Li Qi pulled out his long sword: "Get out of the sheath!"

Clang clang!
Behind him, 30 light cavalry drew their weapons at the same time and held them high together with Li Qi.

The fast horse under the cavalry's crotch also got the signal, and stamped its hooves uneasily.

"Doo-too!" On the ground, Kuai Ren, who was in charge of commanding, bit the spoon and blew violently.

The sharp whistle sounded rhythmically.

The shield wall infantry, who could only listen to the roar of the thorny vine corpses in front of them, moved quickly after hearing the sharp whistle.

The shield wall split open from the middle, and the soldiers in the middle dodged to the sides.

Li Qi shouted loudly: "Follow me!"

Whether it was the shield wall infantry who was blocking the corpse in front, or the light cavalry who followed Li Qi on fast horses, they were full of trust in Li Qi.

Because their lord always said "charge with me" instead of "charge with me".

Every time a war starts, as long as the lord is around, the morale will always be high.

While Li Qi rushed out on his horse, the soldiers in front had already left a path in the middle that was big enough for two horses to pass through.

A thorny and vine corpse found a gap suddenly appeared in front of it, and was about to rush into it.

The long sword stabbed out with the sound of the iron hoof hitting the ground, the sword accurately pierced the corpse's head, inserted from the forehead, and came out from the back of the head, the whole corpse was hung on the sword and pushed out!
The raised horseshoe even knocked three or four corpses into the air!
In the current situation, it is not easy for Li Qi to charge out alone on a horse. He can maintain absolute momentum and move forward, but as long as there is strength to drag from the left, right and rear, he is very likely to be dragged to death!

Fortunately, there were three figures behind Li Qi.

Extraordinary Knight Lacey, Ghoul Ina and Ayame.

They don't bear the pressure from the front like Li Qi, they only need to open up the attack on both sides of the oblique front, maintain the position where Li Qi charged, and take the opportunity to expand the range of the charge!

Rumbling, the sound of horseshoes exploded like thunder, echoing in the arched corridors of the city gate.

Li Qi took the lead, followed by more than 30 cavalry, like an extremely sharp steel gun, easily tore through the struggle and encirclement of hundreds of corpses.

Dozens of times the number of their own side, they were so rushed that they were powerless to parry!
This was just a light cavalry charge with the superhuman as the head, and it was able to crush three to five hundred fearless enemies with a number of more than 30 people.

If it was in a plain area, Li Qi would even have the confidence to turn around and charge once or twice, directly destroying all the corpses blocking the gate of the city.

But this was not in line with their original plan. Li Qi led the team on horseback and rushed into the Iron Valley forest without looking back, and soon disappeared.

Most of the corpses of thorns and vines at the gate of the city were attracted by the light cavalry team rushing out, and the pressure of the shield wall infantry at the gate of the city dropped sharply.

"Beep—!" Quickblade whistled.

The soldiers who had just separated to make way for the cavalry quickly filled the gap for the shield wall, and gathered their formation while retreating.

There were still four or five corpses sneaking in, but before they could do anything, their heads were chopped off by the soldiers preparing behind.

The city gate was slowly closed, and the team shrank back into the city until a "bang" sound blocked the bodies that rushed over from the door.

Bang bang bang!
Corpses slammed into the door one after another, but they had already missed the best chance to rush into the Iron Wall Fortress.

Quick Blade let go of his mouth, and the whistle hung on his chest: "Go back to the city wall to defend! Wait for the adults to come back and support us!"

"Yes!" The soldiers were excited.

Just now, the cavalry easily tore up dozens of times the number of corpses, which made them full of confidence in Li Qi.

It's just a bunch of dead people, there's nothing to be afraid of if you can kill them.

Iron Valley Forest, a small fork in the road.

With a sword at hand, Li Qi took out a corpse with brute force.

There are not many corpses of thorns and vines around, but there will always be a few.

Li Qi grabbed the reins, rode the horse around twice and stopped, and said to Lacey Sis and the light cavalry behind him, "Lacey, let's separate here!"

Lacey nodded solemnly: "Yes, my lord!"

The team separated, and Lacey Sis led all the cavalry to Hazel Village in the south, where they would confirm the location of the fire oil mine and bring the latest news to the people there.

Fire oil will be the best weapon to destroy the remaining corpses of thorn vines.

Quick Blade led the remaining soldiers to defend the Iron Wall Fort and stabilize the internal order. An Iron Wall Fort without control will definitely cause problems and must be defended.

As for Li Qi, there were only two ghouls beside him.

To fight with corpses, of course you can only use corpses.

Li Qi sent a message through his spiritual power, and asked Ghoul Guy to rush over with a team of 200 elite corpses. After gathering all his strength, he went to Beech Village to touch the female corpse in red skirt.

The best gathering place is Lilac Village, which can be arrived in about half a day.

"Ayamei" Li Qi turned to look at the necromancer: "First pull a few undead up."

Ayame's gaze turned to the corpse whose head had been chopped off by Li Qi's sword just now.

The flesh and blood of the corpse dripped down like wax melting, and the mercenary skeleton in leather armor got up, as if he was not used to it, he twisted his body twice, and two dangling ribs broke and fell off.

The skeleton soldier didn't care, but bent down to pick up the broken sword.

One after another, the bones were awakened, and the simplest undead team was formed, and they followed the horse slowly.

Not long after leading the undead team, an old woman in a black dress with a rake appeared in front of her.

Li Qi waved his hand, and the undead team rushed forward.

With a sound of "crash", the old woman smashed on the first skeleton soldier with a rake, smashing it to pieces.

A skeleton soldier chased after him and pointed his sword straight at the old woman's head. The sword pierced the old woman's eye sockets and knocked her whole body down.

Necromancer Ayame uses magic again.

After a while, a skeleton stood up leaning on an iron rake.

"We still have a long way to go," Li Qi said, "There is just enough time along the way, and we can let Ayame's undead team reach the upper limit first."

"You take this and use it." He casually threw the energy storage rod to Ayame.

The upper limit of the spiritual power of a necromancer is only 40 units, and a cane can provide 20 units, and the upper limit of the number of undead that can be controlled has also been greatly increased.

……

Kaka…

The sound of bones rubbing against each other was endless.

In half a day, 145 skeleton soldiers had gathered behind Li Qi.

Since he left the Iron Wall Fort, he has killed everyone he sees, which is why he has accumulated these soldiers so quickly.

It's a pity that these skeleton soldiers are in poor health and poorly equipped, and battles can only be won by numbers. Usually, facing a peasant woman carrying a rake costs 1-2 skeleton soldiers.

If you encounter mercenaries wearing armor, you need 3-5 skeleton soldiers to launch a suicide attack to solve it.

Flutter!
A bird ahead flapped its wings and flew into the woods, and finally landed on Ayame's helmet.

It was the corpse bird that Li Qi sent out to explore the way just now.

There is a group of thorny and vine corpses approaching here.

There was no problem when the corpse bird was flying in the air to observe, but when Li Qi approached in person, the nearby corpses began to gather, and they seemed to be directed towards him.

"Is there something about me that attracts them?...Because I am a living person, or is it because I am a transcendent?"

He could only think of this possibility.

The dead birds monitored by Lacey also found the same situation, the only difference is that there are more of them on their side.

Lacey was only obstructed by a small group of forces, and more than 30 light cavalry easily tore them apart.

The sound of chaotic running came from a distance.

Looking around, it was a mess.

More than 200 corpses wrapped in vines rushed over, and the number was still increasing.

Click, click, click!

The skeleton soldiers rushed up bravely holding their weapons.

just a meeting,
Crash, a dozen skeleton soldiers fell apart on the spot.

Although Necromancer Ayame was pulling up the scattered skeletons at the fastest speed, it was far behind the speed of being knocked apart.

The number of skeleton soldiers is getting smaller and smaller.

The quality gap is too great.

"Aina" Li Qi turned to look at the ghoul Aina, and said, "Go and help!"

The ghoul Aina jumped up, the scimitar unsheathed from her waist.

A huge poisonous touch stretched out from behind, turned into huge claws and slapped the corpses.

No matter whether the skeleton or the corpse was wrapped in the direction of attack, neither could escape.

It's a pity that the opponents this time are all corpses. Aina's toxin can't play a role at all, and she can only fight with her extraordinary body and superb skills.

She rotated her body, and the scimitar quickly spun along with her body.

Puff puff puff, several heads were thrown high, hit the ground and were trampled by the crowd of corpses and bones.

Aina quickly harvested the heads with a speed like mowing grass.

Human heads rolled down one by one, and there were more and more headless corpses on the ground.

But the situation is not optimistic, and the number of corpses added later is also increasing.

The dead bird standing on Ayame spread its wings and flew out.

Looking down from the clouds, he really saw a group of corpses coming towards him.

When they were far away, they were still scattered, but when they got close, they immediately condensed into one strand.

Countless strands gather and rush forward as a support force!

"They all came from the direction of Lilac Village."

It happened that Li Qi's goal was also to meet his support team near Lilac Village.

Relying on her extremely strong self-healing ability, Aina was able to fight against the corpses directly, and her armor could also protect her from the attack of thorns and vines.

However, there were only twenty or thirty scattered skeleton soldiers left with great difficulty, and the skeletons on the ground were trampled to pieces, making it impossible to form them.

If the fight continued, when the number of enemies reached more than a thousand, Li Qi could only turn around and run away.

"Since the attention is on me, then I will be the bait!"

Li Qi grabbed the rein and rushed out quickly.

really!

After the corpses noticed Li Qi's movement, they actually changed direction and chased after him.

With a thought, Li Qi issued an order to Necromancer Ayame.

Since the ground is full of corpses, you can directly open the portal and pull reinforcements directly.

The ghoul Ayame, who no one cared about, quietly opened a portal at the price of flesh and blood corpses on the ground.

Determine the position of the anchor point, when dozens of anchor points gather together, it is impossible to make mistakes in the position.

A bone horse poked its head out of the portal and stepped forward first.

After half of the body came out, the black armored cavalry on horseback was also exposed.

The cavalry rode quietly and stopped beside Ayame.

puff!

Li Qi slashed obliquely, and cut off half of the head of the corpse that stretched out his hand. He glanced at the other side's shriveled cerebellum, and sat up straight.

The ground was rough, and if it wasn't for Li Qi's superb equestrian skills, he might have fallen off his horse at this time.

The group of corpses followed closely behind him, and he almost got caught a few times. Fortunately, Li Qi fought back in time to avoid being dragged off the horse.

After making a circle, Li Qi glanced hurriedly.

It happened that the portal was closed.

"Drive!" He turned around and rushed back to the side of Necromancer Ayame.

In front of him stood a group of elite undead cavalry in black armor in an orderly manner.

The bone horse shook its head.

The undead cavalry was holding a lance, shaking slightly as the bone horse shook.

"Roar!"

"what!"

The group of corpses ignored these dead objects and chased after Li Qi.

Li Qi walked around behind the undead, and gave an order before he stopped.

"charge!"

Rumble!
The uniform action of the undead cavalry!
The bone horse's hoof stepped on the ground, and after three or two steps, it accelerated to the fastest speed, which was not at all the level that normal war horses could achieve.

The undead knights in black armor set up their lances, and rushed into the corpses instantly like a sharp bone spear.

A charge directly broke up the formation of the corpse group!

The pace of the undead cavalry was not hindered in the slightest. Compared with ordinary undead, they were cavalry before they were alive, and they rode war horses, so they were more powerful.

And the equipment on his body is also more sophisticated.

Not only that, but they don't even have real weaknesses, and even if they fall apart, they can be quickly reassembled.

The undead cavalry rushed to a distance before slowly slowing down.

After turning the direction, the target is still the group of corpses, but at this time the group of corpses is scattered, and the formation cannot be seen at all.

charge!

Another charge, a mass of corpses scattered in the sand could hardly stop this charge, the hits were flying all over the sky, and every cavalry had more or less body stumps hanging from their lances.

Among them, the number of heads is the largest, like candied haws on a string.

The horses will not get tired, the cavalry will not die, only charging, charging non-stop!

Even if it falls apart when it hits a tree, it will be pieced together extremely quickly by the necromancer Ayame.

The casualties of one's own side are always zero, but the casualties of the local corpses are increasing rapidly.

The force of this charge was so terrifying that Aina stopped killing and returned to Li Qi's side to avoid being involved.

at last!

When the undead cavalry stopped, there was no standing corpse on the ground.

Li Qi was shocked: "Sure enough, cavalry is the answer."

He turned to look at Ayame: "Keep opening the door!"

Now there are hundreds of corpses on the ground, Li Qi needs more strength than that, continue to pull people!
