Chapter 160: The Knight's War
Song Zheng was also shocked by the indomitable momentum of the knights when they charged collectively.
However, before the knights could make contact with the army of the undead, the explosion of the magic fireball was already heard...... No matter how fast a horse is, it can't be faster than a fireball.
The original military mages in the team, plus those mages brought by Gianna, numbered nearly two hundred.
Hundreds of fireballs were released at the same time, and the momentum was extremely amazing, not even worse than the artillery salvo on the earth in Song Zheng's memory.
The undead who rushed to the front were blown away in an instant in the huge explosion of the fireball, and because the explosion of the fireball had a range effect, hundreds of fireballs almost cleared the front line at the forefront of the undead scourge.
Then the undead in the back still did not have the slightest fear, and still rushed over frantically.
Eventually, these crazy undead collided with the knights, like a black tide hitting a hard reef.
Most of the undead at the forefront were skeletons and ghouls, basically ordinary civilians who had been transformed after death, and they were not very combative, and they also lacked equipment, and were smashed to pieces almost instantly when faced with the charge of the knights in armor.
However, the number of undead is too much, even if the knights have good combat power, but after rushing out of the sea of undead for tens of meters, their bodies are already crawling with skeletons and ghouls that fly up.
The knights themselves had thick armor and could hold out with strong defense, but the horses had only simple armor, and they quickly fell screaming in the pull and bite of the undead......
After losing their horses, the knights had to start foot combat, which lost their greatest speed advantage and could only melee with the surrounding undead.
As the battle continued, even if the battle damage between the knight and the undead reached more than 1:10, the loss was still heart-wrenching.
"It's too unwise to fight against the undead natural disaster like this......" Song Zheng sighed secretly.
Although he rode a war horse, he did not follow the knights to charge, but followed behind the phalanx of infantry, and there were many adventurers around him to protect him.
Because he personally participated in the battle this time, the adventurers did not accept the command of Lordaeron's regular troops as they did last time, and followed Song Zheng to fight.
This made Song Zheng quite entangled, he knew his own ability, if he fought alone, he could barely hold on, but in terms of military command, he was completely inadequate.
However, he did not have any good command talents under his command, so he had to hand over most of the adventurers to Karl and Harrison to command.
As the infantry rushed into the battlefield, the battle became more intense, and although the losses of the undead Scourge were enormous, they still had the advantage in numbers, and even the rear was still supported by undead troops.
The adventurers also began to attack from the flanks under the command of Harrison, Harrison, as the general of Kul Tiras, is absolutely excellent in command, and he did not let the adventurer troops who lacked training and discipline to confront the undead troops head-on, but made full use of their flexible and mobile characteristics to attack from both sides, and some of the rogue classes even went around the rear to sneak attack the necromancers on the opposite side.
Song Zheng had already held the long sword in his hand, and he also held a small crossbow, which he used to mix experience.
This kind of battle is the best time to mix experience, but he lacks a suitable large-area attack skill to make up for the knife, that knife fan skill was originally very good, but unfortunately the consumption of the throwing knife is too large, and it is difficult to use it many times at present, unless he finds a group of people to transport the flying knife for him.
Catherine stood beside him with two huge heavy swords, she looked a little excited, and her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation, after all, as a warrior, she had an instinctive yearning for the battlefield.
Song Zheng couldn't help but look up at Gianna not far away, she was leading a group of mages to concentrate on casting spells, but the target of the attack had begun to extend to the rear of the undead troops, so as not to accidentally injure her own people in the melee.
"If only I could learn the mage's blizzard......" Song Zheng let out a low sigh, if he could use the blizzard on this kind of battlefield, it is estimated that after a battle, he would be able to rise to more than ten levels.
There were already undead spirits in front of them who broke through the shield wall of the infantry phalanx and tried to rush towards the mages in the rear, which also made Song Zheng and the others who were not far from the mage team involved in the battle.
In the midst of a large army, you may still be afraid before the battle, but when the battle begins, follow the footsteps of others and listen to the blood-boiling shouts and slashing sounds around you, and you have no other thoughts in your heart except to fight desperately.
Although Song Zheng doesn't have the Hammer of Doom now, he still has no problem defeating those ordinary skeletons and ghouls, not to mention having Catherine by his side.
As the two skeletons were smashed to pieces, the experience points were also increased a little, and he even took the time to shoot an arrow at the ghoul next to him, and then successfully mixed the experience, and by the way, he could get a thanks.
However, Song Zheng's rather speechless red figure soon appeared beside him, it was Lena Imbas.
This creature had exhausted her mana after unleashing more than a dozen fireballs, but unlike the average mage, who was already weak and rested, she was still so energetic that she even managed to get a beautiful sword out of nowhere, and shouted loudly to charge with Catherine.
"Is this really a mage, isn't it also here to steal experience......" Song Zheng couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at Lena Imbas's appearance after cutting down a skeleton.
He remembered that there seemed to be a battle mage in Warcraft games, especially in the Scarlet Crusaders, there were many mages with strong melee abilities, but Lena Imbas was only a magic apprentice not long ago, and he should rely more on his own strong talent.
Although the adventurers fought valiantly, the real main force of this battle was the regular troops of Lordaeron, especially those from the Knights of the Silver Hand.
Of course, the real mainstays are the paladins!
With the power of the blessing of the Holy Light, strong defense, and healing ability, the Paladin far surpasses the average knight in terms of individual combat power and team combat ability, especially the Holy Light has a natural restraint effect on the dark power of the undead.
In this chaotic battlefield, almost every paladin has fallen around a large number of undead, and these figures that exude golden light are the best banners on the battlefield.
This also made Song Zheng feel the unfairness of his profession again.
"I don't know how the Death Knight will behave in this real world......"
