Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone
Chapter 716 - 472: One Hundred Thousand Troops, Undead Charge Under the Blood Moon!
Fang Zhou smiled silently and slightly raised his right hand.
As soon as his hand fell, the hundreds of Corpse Knight Guards and thousands of Undead Beast mounts behind him would transform into a steamroller, crushing the tens of thousands of low-level Undead. Then, they would directly face the Heavy-Armored Zombie Lord and take its head!
However, Fang Zhou had to wait. A knight’s charge could be severely weakened if it met too much obstruction. For a charge to be effective, it had to reach the enemy directly.
Fang Zhou waited for a long time. He waited until the Heavy-Armored Zombie Lord, with its Zombie Guards, had pushed aside all its own subordinates and reached Tidamia. Only then did Fang Zhou fiercely swing his hand downward.
"Charge!"
The onslaught began.
Although the hundreds of Corpse Knights and thousand-odd Undead Beast mounts seemed insignificant before the white wave of one hundred thousand low-level skeletons and zombies, this force of over a thousand men and beasts plunged into the enemy lines like the sharpest dagger into soft tofu, effortlessly slicing them in two.
Fang Zhou immediately activated a series of Skills—Corpse Lord, Death Charge, Death Knell Battle Cry, Death Granting Stance, and Death Roar—transforming himself into the very tip of this sharp blade.
In this charging assault unit, Fang Zhou, the Corpse Knight Lord, was naturally the strongest. Beneath him was Sain, the Corrupt Hatred leader who had just evolved from infantry to cavalry.
All the skeletons and zombies in Fang Zhou’s path, evolved or not, were knocked away like kites by the Yellow Springs Nightmare at a full sprint. As for the low-level Undead positioned to the sides, those that Fang Zhou missed could not escape Sain’s Butcher Knife.
Riding his zombie giant bear, his Butcher Knife swung wide, shredding all nearby enemies into a pulp like a blender.
Behind Fang Zhou and Sain, the mixed charging column of hundreds of Corpse Knights and over a thousand Undead Beast mounts thoroughly crushed any skeletons or zombies that had been lucky enough to escape along the path. With all of Fang Zhou’s Skills providing support, the combat power of the surrounding Corpse Knights and Undead Beast mounts simply increased by another level.
Sain was not one to be outdone. His Flesh Bone Hook flew about, specifically seeking out the more powerful Advanced Zombies. Whenever he encountered such an Undead, Sain would fling his hook and pull it in. He only needed to throw it onto the ground, and the cavalry column behind would easily trample the target into a paste of flesh and bone.
A cavalry charge had only one requirement: press forward relentlessly.
No matter how many enemies or what traps lay ahead, a cavalry unit could absolutely not retreat. The charge was the very Spirit of the cavalry. Even if it meant filling a pit with their lives, they had to fill that pit!
ROAR!
Fang Zhou howled to the sky, and his surrounding Corpse Knights echoed with their own mad shrieks.
The Undead loved slaughter.
Whether the opponent was undead or living, any Undead with basic intelligence held a fanatical love for exhilarating carnage. In the midst of carnage, their withered souls found satisfaction, and their fleeting consciousness could comprehend their own existence.
They had all died once before; they had never known a reason to fear death again.
With his Death Energy fully unleashed, Fang Zhou frantically used his Skills. For every stretch of ground they covered, he unleashed a Death Energy Slash. For every obstruction they met, he used a Death Tornado. Then he let his countless cavalry frantically trample over the enemies who dared to block their path!
For his Servants, death was not the end, but the beginning of a new journey!
The thousand-strong force of charging Undead swept into the white wave like a hurricane. In the hurricane’s wake, any skeletons and zombies that stood in its path were left shattered and mangled.
By the time Fang Zhou felt the charge come to a halt, they had already—in just a few short moments—broken through from the outermost edge of the battlefield to its very core. They had reached their target: the Heavy-Armored Zombie Lord that was attacking his Tomb.
Fang Zhou’s charge was forced to a halt. He was blocked by the Heavy-Armored Zombie Lord and surrounded by the Zombie Guard Corps.
But this situation didn’t last long.
A moment later, the hundred-plus Corpse Knight Guards had already charged into the fray. Although the enemy’s Advanced Zombie guards were powerful, how could they be a match for cavalry in the midst of a frenzied charge?
Sain grinned fiercely. The Chains wrapped around his body shot out, hooking directly onto the Heavy-Armored Zombie Lord standing in the center.
Sain’s hook flew with exceptional speed.
The Heavy-Armored Zombie Lord hadn’t even had time to react to the Corpse Knights’ charge before something penetrated its body. Simultaneously, a massive force yanked it forward.
The Heavy-Armored Zombie Lord was enraged, its Soul Fire flaring violently. It dug its feet in, grabbing the Flesh Bone Hook latched onto its body. With a surge of its full strength, it attempted to drag Sain toward it instead.
