From the perspective of momentum alone, these tall cavalry were much stronger than the previous ordinary ones. Ye Zhongming sensed that their strength should be a bit above fifth-level mutated life.
These cavalry appeared among the previous cavalry group, standing out like a crane among chickens. The sudden change increased the pressure on Cloud Summit significantly. While the members of Cloud Summit were not afraid of each individual knight, even the Youth Army warriors could easily kill them.
However, the difference lay in the sheer number of these stone cavalry. Although the ordinary cavalry could be taken down instantly, one could not ignore them entirely; otherwise, their attacks would land on a person. Even if they couldn't break through defenses, it would still make the body tremble.
If one lost control of their body, the attacks would follow in succession, leaving a warrior completely passive and vulnerable to being beaten down. The warriors would not allow this situation to happen, as it would mean they would be unable to fight back until they were killed.
In this circumstance, these towering figures with a significant height advantage created great trouble for Cloud Summit, allowing them to swing their weapons down on the heads of the ordinary cavalry.
“Thunder!”
Xiao Min, who was in charge of command, did not care about how her boss would fare. Upon seeing the situation, she shouted.
Without the assistance of battle beasts, the members of the red dress guard were slightly unaccustomed, but their excellent combat experience and instincts stabilized them. After hearing the orders, a portion quickly returned to formation under the cover of their companions, swiftly pulling out magic crystal grenades from their spatial pockets and throwing them towards the area with the giant knights.
The latest model of magic crystal grenades had immense power. Although these stone knights had tough skin and thick flesh, they could not withstand such iconic equipment from Cloud Summit.
After the explosion, large areas of vacuum appeared, significantly reducing the pressure on Cloud Summit's team. Taking advantage of this gap, everyone unleashed their skills to clear the surrounding enemies, allowing the team to regroup and form an excellent defense with stronger warriors on the outskirts.
“Gather around the boss!”
Xiao Min issued another command, and the entire Cloud Summit team immediately moved backward.
The current situation was unclear, and no one knew how many of these knights would appear. Dispersing their strength was not a wise choice.
Magic crystal grenades continued to fly out from Cloud Summit's formation, clearing one area after another, turning batches of stone knights into piles of rubble.
Before long, Cloud Summit's team joined forces with Ye Zhongming, encircling the battle beasts that could not rely on physical combat.
This segment of distance resulted in the red dress guard consuming one-third of their magic crystal grenades.
Of course, the results were impressive. At least within everyone's line of sight, the number of stone knights had significantly decreased from the previous ant nest-like density.
Ye Zhongming merely took a glance and noticed that several faces had disappeared, all belonging to the Youth Army. It seemed that the tide-like attacks from the stone knights had indeed caused some casualties for Cloud Summit.
After regrouping, everyone initially breathed a sigh of relief, as things were improving, even if the improvement was limited.
However, soon, everyone's hearts tightened again.
The rubble caused by magic crystal grenades and the attacks during this time began to gather together automatically, as if summoned by an invisible force. One by one, the stone knights reappeared.
The difference this time was that, in addition to the previously seen tall stone knights, even more powerful "third type" knights emerged!
“Seventh level!”
Many members of Cloud Summit simultaneously thought of these two words.
