CHAPTER 341: Battle! Annihilation
People on the continent have always said that the orc cavalry is the strongest cavalry in the land. Although Zhao Hai's undead beings are much stronger than actual orc cavalry, he still wanted to see just how formidable they truly were.
At this moment, Xu Wanying and the others also spotted the cavalry, causing their carriage to come to a halt. Ryan and the others behind them stopped as well, but those guards looked at the cavalry with despair written all over their faces.
These guards were seasoned veterans, and they immediately recognized that the cavalry on the hillside numbered around five thousand. To face them with just five thousand cavalry was indeed a sign of respect, but it also meant they had no chance of escape.
In the guards’ eyes, no matter how powerful Zhao Hai was, he was merely a level seven mage. Facing a charge from five thousand heavy armored cavalry, only a fool would believe he could overcome them.
Zhao Hai stepped out of the carriage and glanced back at Ryan and the others. He hesitated a bit; with Ryan and the others present, when he unleashed his undead beings, they would surely see it. But if they saw, then his secret would no longer be a secret.
After some thought, Zhao Hai turned to Xu Wanying and said, "Wan Ying, go inform Ryan and the others to protect Ryan's carriage. No matter what happens later, they should just focus on guarding the carriage."
Hearing Zhao Hai's instructions, Xu Wanying understood what he intended to do and excitedly agreed before rushing over to inform Ryan. Ryan and the others were still uncertain, especially since their enemies were incredibly strong, so they quickly acted according to Zhao Hai's orders.
Shun Yi had just joined and was unaware of how many undead beings Zhao Hai controlled, so he didn't quite understand Zhao Hai's intentions. When Zhao Hai saw that Ryan and the others were ready, he quickly cast a black mist technique, enveloping Ryan and the others so they could not see the outside situation.
Shun Yi looked at Zhao Hai in confusion, unsure why he was doing this. However, seeing Xu Wanying, Muto, and Shitou looking excited, he didn't ask further, just observing Zhao Hai curiously, wondering what he would do next.
Noticing Xu Wanying's excitement, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile and said, "I say, Wan Ying, why are you so excited? It's not like I'm asking you to make a move."
Xu Wanying chuckled, "To see a cavalry battle up close is exhilarating! Young master, hurry up and take care of them so we can leave sooner."
Zhao Hai laughed heartily, then turned to the approaching cavalry and shouted, "Everyone, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you making your move? Are you waiting for lunch?"
Xu Wanying and the others burst into laughter, but the cavalry were infuriated. The reason they hadn't attacked yet was that Zhao Hai and the others were not within their optimal attack range. They figured Zhao Hai couldn't escape anyway, so what was the harm in waiting a little longer? Once Zhao Hai entered their best attack range, they could charge and crush them all before returning.
But upon hearing Zhao Hai's taunt, they could no longer hold back. At the leader's command, the knights leveled their knight's spears and prepared to charge.
Zhao Hai just smiled slightly, then waved his hand. Five thousand undead cavalry from the Bullfighting Tribe appeared before him, forming an orderly square formation, silent and emanating a chilling aura of death.
Shun Yi stared blankly at the undead cavalry, unsure of what to say, while the cavalry on the hillside were equally stunned, unable to grasp the situation.
Zhao Hai smirked and said, "If you won't charge, then I shall!" With that, he waved his hand again, and the five thousand undead cavalry split into two square formations, charging towards the cavalry on the slopes.
While the Bullfighting Tribe undead cavalry charged, Zhao Hai used the formation management function. The two formations moved in perfect unison, looking like two blocks of wood advancing together, with no cavalry faster or slower than the others.
