Chapter Seventy-Two: Into Taquilin
When Xie Feng gave the order to retreat, the remaining 3,000 or so low-level undead in the field had been controlled by the necromancers of the Scourge Legion, and they had caught up with them when they were exterminating the Luzlan troops.
By the time Xie Feng gathered the army again and put it in formation, the low-level undead, who were still in order, were already close at hand. And in the distance, there are also a large group of undead natural disasters that are also rushing here.
After careful estimation, Xiao Gun told Xie Feng that it would take about eight to ten minutes to rush to the north gate of Taquilin at the speed of the undead army behind him. The three thousand low-level undead in front of them would only take about five minutes to rush to the north gate. And the rest of your army retreated into Taquilin, and it took less than three minutes to make it as fast as possible.
In this case, if you slow down the speed of retreat and fight while walking, you can at least destroy half of the natural disasters in front of you before entering Taquelin, and if you command it properly, it is not impossible to destroy them all!
Just do it when you think of it, Xie Feng immediately began to adjust the formation~~
'After the anti-riding break! Divide into five teams and step back! Five yards apart!! The Holy Knight then looks after the Defensive Knight with all his might! The Punishment Knight retreats to the last to regain his strength! ‘
The order was given, and the captains of each team responded and instructed their subordinates to find their positions according to the order.
All the Punishment Knights quickly stepped back to the front, then slowed down and walked slowly, regaining their strength. They were the main force in the continuous battle just now, and almost ninety percent of the undead were eliminated by them, although it was several groups of rotational rest, and after two hours of continuous running and fighting, they were already too tired. Therefore, Xie Feng was the first to let them rest, and by the way, he cleaned up the scattered undead on the way back.
In the middle are the Holy Knights, who form a strong backing for the defensive knights in the front to continue the battle. They are each preparing a holy light spell to heal the injured defensive knight in front of them at the first opportunity.
The defensive knights, who retreated to the end, were divided into five teams and arranged horizontally according to the order. Each knight was separated by five yards, and if they all stepped on the dedication, they would cover the entire road, including all the undead chasing after the Ouroboros. And there are a total of five teams of knights, who can step on the path of dedication of twenty-five yards, as long as these low-level undead step on it, they will all fall on the road~~
After all the soldiers were in place~Xie Feng began to give orders~
'Slowly retreat!!' ‘
The defensive knights and holy knights in the back row maintained their formations and queues and retreated backwards~ while the punishment knights at the front turned around directly and walked casually~ by the way, cleaning up the undead along the way~ very leisurely~~
When about a hundred meters or so of exit, the undead scourge has already come into contact with the last anti-horse~~
'First row! Dedication!! ‘
The golden flame burned from under the feet of the knights, spreading up along the shell of the undead, burning their bodies~~
For a time, the fire in the place where the undead and the anti-horsemen came into contact rose into the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield~~
In just a few breaths, the paladins quickly walked out of the firelight~ while the undead disasters never showed up again, and all of them turned into ashes~~
After the first row of anti-horsemen exited, they quickly ran through the middle of the queue to the end, and lined up again.
With their dedication burning, there was once again a short distance between the army and the Scourge, and everyone took the opportunity to retreat.
A moment later, the Scourge was once again embellished with the rear team, and the second row just now, and now the first row of anti-horsemen stepped out of the dedication again, and after burning the undead front team, they retreated to the last column.
In this reciprocating cycle, after two rounds of queue changes, the number of three thousand natural disasters has been worn out by nearly two thousand.
It's not that the necromancers who command them are brain-dead, and such a simple tactic can't be seen to add oil to it. It's that they don't care about these low-level undead at all, they're just using them to delay Xie Feng's footsteps. If you can successfully drag the army to catch up, it is gratifying, but it is not a big deal if you can't delay it at that time, this low-level undead is not in their eyes at all, and if you lose it, you will lose it~~ It can also consume the enemy's physical strength~~!
Seven or eight minutes later, in the retreat of the enemy in a loop, the frontmost punishment knights had already arrived in front of the fortifications at the north gate. The army of the undead on the opposite side had also chased within five hundred meters.
Xie Feng also changed his tactics and no longer used dedication to kill those low-level undead. Instead, he commanded the punishment knights who had recovered a certain amount of physical strength to bypass the anti-cavalry, kill from the left and right sides, and under the leadership of the captain above the fifth order, they rushed into the natural disaster cannon fodder group behind, and the anti-cavalry and the holy knights slowly pushed into Taquilin~~
The Punishment Knights, led by all the high-ranking officers, quickly rushed into the Great Undead Array, and scattered them in a moment~~
Xie Feng immediately shouted:
'All Captains!!' Divine Wrath!! ‘
The officers above the fifth order in front were stunned for a moment, and quickly cast spells according to the order~
In an instant, more than a dozen places of the Cataclysm Legion erupted with divine energy, enveloping the vast majority of the undead and sweeping them away~~
The punishment knights were scattered under the leadership of their respective captains to attack the undead army, so when Xie Feng issued the order, the captains had already dispersed to the middle of the entire natural disaster, and together they released the divine wrath and shrouded all the eighty percent of the undead~~
The effect of Divine Wrath deals Holy Damage to all undead and demons within ten yards of the Divine Wrath and stuns them for three seconds.
Most of the undead were swept away by the divine energy, and the stun effect caused the undead to be unconscious in place, or even killed directly by the burst of holy light energy. The punishment knights also took the opportunity to attack, and the undead fell thirty percent in the blink of an eye~
As soon as the divine wrath was released, Xie Feng's next order followed~:
'All Knights of Punishment!!' Dedication!! ‘
Hundreds of knights no longer hesitated to respond, and at the same time stepped on the dedication in the Scourge Array.
The undead in the coma had no suspense about all the moves, because of the number of people, the fire of dedication directly enveloped the entire natural disaster array, and none of the undead escaped. And because the knights are too close to each other, in some places even three or four offerings are superimposed, and the nearby undead will be evaporated in an instant~~
The golden divine flame rose into the sky, enveloping nearly a thousand undead souls, and burned them all to death in just a few breaths. The diffuse holy light energy caused the natural calamity army hundreds of meters away to involuntarily slow down~~
Then, the paladins summoned their divine energy, walked out of the skyrocketing flames, and walked leisurely into the fortifications of Taquelin.
In the end, Xie Feng walked into Taquilin with the anti-cavalry behind him, and commanded the anti-cavalry behind him to erect a shield to block the entrance in the middle.
The army of the undead who followed closely saw that Xie Feng and the others had already entered Taquilin and set up a formation, paused and hesitated two hundred meters away, where they hesitated for a moment and then retreated like a tide. Presumably, the commander of the opposing side understood that the north gate could not be broken in a short time, so he led the army to retreat.
Seeing the other party retreating, Xie Feng breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and commanded the knights to treat the wounded companions around him and the original Taquilin defenders. He led Serin and the people of the Maple Red Country towards Taquilin's headquarters~~~
