Chapter 17: The Battle of the Adesi River

Who are the organizers of the Snake City Cavalry Regiment?

Answer, William.

William Scott, the Cursed Spirit, is the rightful Great Lich of the Lich Council. There are ten other veteran lichs who also come from the Lich Council. Known as the Serpent Silver Moon Knights. Its emblem features both the Silver Moon emblem and the Nine-Petal Snake Flower Emblem of Megasnake City. There are more than 10,000 members, each of whom is equipped with sophisticated armor and high-quality bone horses, and even has the newly developed Charged Knight Sword and Knight Shield......

Although the tactics are still derived from the most "ancient" of the Knights of the Silver Moon under Gray, you have to admit that when the real Great Lich joins, the Legion's tactics can no longer stay at the original level. Especially in terms of equipment, when the commanders of the war are no longer limited to destruction, it is a huge leap.

The roundabout charge of tens of thousands of undead knights is like a herd of migrating bison, running, you can only see the billowing dust, and you can only see the row of knights running at the front, like a tsunami.

......

"Why us?" said Tess in the airship's cabin, stunned as she was assigned to the task.

"This is the battlefield, and all decisions are made by the Senate, there is no why!you just have to obey orders!" The Bloodclan who had come to deliver the order roared at Tess.

The armor-clad bloods around them were dumbfounded, and their eyes widened one by one.

Realizing his gaffe, the Bloodclan who came to give the order restrained his expression slightly, lowered his voice and said nervously, "Miss Tess, I have a lot of respect for the Gangaro family, but you must know that we are now on the battlefield. This is the battlefield. It is the Senate that gives you orders, and there is no room for rebuttal. Otherwise, the Gangeros will face punishment regardless of whether the war is won or lost, do you want to see that?, I'd love to tell you everything I know, but I know very little, I'm just a herald. ”

With that, the Herald Bloodclan looked at Tess helplessly, took two steps back, turned and jumped out of the airship cabin. Leave behind the stunned members of the Gangaro family in various armors in the airship, and their minions.

After a while, someone whispered, "I have a small question, should we wear armor to the battlefield? However, if you don't wear armor, your defense will be affected. ”

Well, that's a great question, but if you wait until now to think about it, it's a bit of a big problem.

......

The battlefield has become the Shura Domain.

The rain of arrows and flints in the sky smashed wave after wave. The billowing smoke dragged by the flints drew arcs in the sky.

The airship moved silently in the sky, dodging the dense onslaught of catapults. The zombies on the ground are not so lucky, and once they are targeted, they are basically a dead end.

Led by the undead giants, wave after wave of undead legions are still desperately pouring into the zombie pile, trampling on all the enemies in their way.

A large rain of arrows from the Giant Serpent City legion rained down intensively. The arrows made of stainless steel were more than a meter long, and the weight of the tail was deliberately added, which was enough to pin the zombie to the ground and not move.

In comparison, the rain of arrows of the High Court Legion was not so deterrent.

The zombies in the rear once again drew their bows and shot a dense rain of arrows into the sky. This time, their target is still the non-undead army of the Legion of the Giant Serpent City.

"Arrayβ€”β€”! "The dwarf Silver Hammer rode a curly-horned antelope, brandishing a battle axe and shouting loudly.

In the next moment, the dwarves, elves, and goblins in the team all turned out their heavy shields and held them above their heads, gathering into a dense tortoiseshell array.

The rain of arrows fell heavily, barely causing any splash except for a few soldiers who were accidentally hit by arrows and slumped on the ground and wailed.

Such a battle scene is undoubtedly terrifying, at least for humans, extremely terrifying.

Whether it is soldiers, tactics, or even weapons and equipment, it is unimaginable for mankind at this stage. And, thanks to Jones's military reforms, such wars will become more common in the future.

......

In the distance, standing on the back of the bone dragon, Jones, dressed in the armor of the Silver Moon, had seen a detachment of members of the Gangaro family emerge from the airship, and they chose to take off their armor and turn into bats to maintain their mobility.

"The Bone Dragon Legion is over to you. Jones whispered.

"Okay. Erin, who was flying beside the bone dragon, raised her wand in response.

The bone dragon under Jones's seat adjusted its posture slightly, gliding in the opposite direction to the Gungro family's attack. When he got close to the ground, he leaped lightly and landed firmly on the back of Hydra Ophelia. Dora stood right behind him, holding aloft the nine-petal snake flower flag that symbolized the Hydra Knight, the lord of the Giant Serpent City.

At this moment, even the hydra was draped in heavy armor. Yes, that's it, Jones, accustomed to factories and industrial processing, is accustomed to maximizing the war potential of every individual, even Hydra. More than 10,000 years of knowledge accumulated by the lichs gave him a lot of leeway.

Drawing the long sword at his waist and raising it high, Jones roared, "Attack β€”β€”!"

"Roar β€”β€”!" The nine snake heads raised in unison and let out an earth-shattering roar.

Surrounding the hydra are countless splicing monsters, like giants in heavy armor. Wielding heavy weapons such as iron hooks, maces, giant axes, and large kitchen knives. There is no doubt that this is a heavy main force.

......

"Send someone to intercept him. Elder Basaromu said lazily with his face half-hidden.

"Yes!"

......

"Why are we attacking against the main force?" Prince Harez, who had always been calm, was about to fall in his eyes.

"This is an opportunity, Your Highness Prince Harez. The herald's Bloodline explained, "What if you succeed in taking down the Lord of the Megaserpent City, Jones? ”

However, Prince Harez is not so easy to fool: "Is it? What if the whole army is wiped out? Our Nicklaus family will disappear from this world completely, right?"

Helplessly, the herald blood clan could only spread his hands: "I can't change this order, I hope you can understand." ”

The corners of Prince Harez's eyes twitched.

......

At the same time, the battle between the Gangaro family and the Serpent Silver Moon Knights has begun.

Nearly a thousand bloods flew in from afar, and the knights who galloped quickly raised their large shields.

This was surprising, as the Bloods did not use weapons such as bows and arrows. Tess was a little confused.

However, it didn't take long for them to get their answers.

The shield was opened, and each of the undead knights had an extra bow in their hands. Yes, the large shield was raised with one hand, just to hide that the other hand was touching the bow.

All of a sudden, the members of the Gangero family, who were still in their bat form, were dumbfounded.

"Prepare to β€”β€”!" William, who was at the front, raised the sword in his hand and waved it vigorously: "Release!"

A large rain of arrows quickly roared towards the rushing bloods.

The Bloodclan, who were still charging a moment ago, quickly fled, and the little bats flapped their wings desperately.

Normally, as long as it is an adult blood clan, at a distance of nearly 100 meters or so, it can easily dodge the arrows shot by the undead knight. But if it's a rain of arrows, that's a different story. Especially since these arrows are not ordinary arrows. After ejaculating, they quickly split into densely packed slender needles.

A round of arrows rained down, and dozens of blood bats immediately fell, including many filial sons and grandsons who were directly related to the Gangaro family. As soon as the bats that were hit by the arrow landed, before they could react, they raised their heads, and the horses' hooves the size of a large casserole directly stepped on their bodies...... Some even stepped directly on their faces.

This scene was undoubtedly terrifying for the members of the Gangero family. Not long ago, they were aristocrats, living in castles, enjoying fine clothes and food, and living a carefree life, all of them were young ladies and young masters. But now they've become soldiers on the battlefield, and they're going to die at any moment, and they can't even find their bodies.

Whoever comes here will not be able to accept this for a while.

"Second round of preparation!" William raised his sword high again.

In the next moment, the undead knights had once again drawn their bows. The little bats in the sky were so frightened that they hid in Tibet. All of a sudden, the battle seemed to turn into a game of cat and mouse. The screams were even crying.

......

Elder Felix, who was sitting in the cabin watching here, helplessly supported his forehead and said softly, "If they can be brave enough to rush directly into the other party's crowd, this undead knight group should not be able to restrain them." ”

"They don't have the will to fight at all, and that's the biggest problem. Elder Barsaromu sighed helplessly: "Send some zombie legions to find a way to surround the Knights." ”

"Yes!" said the herald.

Turning his face sideways, Elder Adrien looked to the other side, "It's starting over there, too." ”

Over there, referring to Jones.

......

In fact, Jones started long ago. He stood on the back of the hydra, shouting and roaring. With a large group of splicing monsters, he plunged directly into the zombie pile.

Zombies are slow, strong, and thick. However, the splicers have more strength than them, and the meat is thicker. With a single stroke of the hammer, you can directly smash a zombie with armor into a meatloaf. With a swing of the knife, he directly blocked the waist and split the ten zombies without pause. The nine snake heads were waving wildly on the battlefield, like nine huge tentacles.

The front-line battlefield is like a crazy meat grinder, wrestling the flesh of zombies. You have to admit that while the Bloodlines also know necromantic magic, when it comes to manipulating undead creatures, the Lich is their ancestor. And, while the Lich, like the Bloodline, has barely interacted with the outside world for the past 10,000 years, the Lich's civil war has not stopped. They don't have the word "comfortable" at all.

The members of the Nicklaus family, who were already only a few hundred meters away from them, hesitated, not daring to approach at all.

......

Elder Felix couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that our great-great-great-great-grandchildren are the bravest and most decisive of all our descendants. ”

......

"Your Royal Highness Prince Harez, the elders ask when you will do it!" the heralds all turned into bats and rushed to the battlefield.

Helpless, Prince Haritz had no choice but to order: "Rush!"

At least I didn't see Jones's troops with bows and arrows like the Serpent Silvermoon Knights, did they? Splicers weren't very good at using bows and arrows, which required delicate handling.

Under the leadership of Prince Haritz, the Nicklaus clans quickly flew hundreds of meters away, and let out a ghost-crying wolf howl and rushed to the army under the command of Jones, which was "besieged" by zombies.

As for Prince Harriez himself, he rushed straight to Jones.

A hydra, with his combat power, can completely deal with it. This is especially true of a seventy-six-year-old Bloodline!

Soon, however, the unexpected happened.

Just when Haritz was gliding away with Jones, less than fifty meters away, and he was ready to fight in human form, an accident happened.

A small splicer was thrown into the air by a large splicer, and as he passed by, he threw out an iron hook attached to an iron chain, which scraped past his chest......

"Whoaβ€”β€”!" There was a scream, and Prince Harez hurriedly raised his height and turned into a human form.

Looking down, he saw that the wound on his chest was smoking...... Yes, smoking.

Looking back, he saw the hook wielding in the trumpet's splicer's hand, glowing silver in the night.

"Silver?"

Yes, silver, of course. What do you use to fight vampires without silver?

Not only was the hook in the little splicer's hand silver, but the other splicers had also found silver. There are silver hammers, silver kitchen knives, silver maces......

Why didn't the Serpent Silver Moon Knights have a bright silver weapon just now?, because the long-range arrows are too thin, and the silver is too soft to use. They've done countless experiments, and you'll have to trust the lich's pragmatic spirit.

Several snakeheads looked at Prince Harez in the air, and Jones stood on the back of Hydra, opened his mask, and looked at him with a blank face.

Some of them didn't react, and the clansmen who rushed directly into the splicing monster had been directly split into two parts.

The Blood Clan "warriors" who were still in the airship were dumbfounded: "What the hell is this? Isn't the undead afraid of silver?"

"If you hold it in your own hand, you will not be afraid of the silverware that is cut on the enemy. Someone next to him whispered.

Well, yes, don't worry, Bloodline, Jones is definitely a professional.

At this moment, the expression on Prince Harez's face was distorted: "Retreat quicklyβ€”β€”! retreat! Retreat β€”β€”!"

With the shouting, the panicked members of the Nicklaus family began to fly up frantically, trying to get out of the battlefield.

However, a large number of undead spiders soon emerged from the ground, spit out spider silk, and dragged them back again.

In the midst of the bloody rain, Jones held his sword and still looked expressionlessly.
