Chapter 46 I Want to Try It Too
In the wilderness, a silver-white team is galloping on horseback.
Whether it was the armor on their bodies or the mounts under their crotch, they all emitted star-like sacred light.
This is the Knights of Judgment of the Ryan Empire, a special force composed of high-level holy warriors. Even their mounts are celestial warhorses summoned through divine magic.
They have all given up their original names and only call each other by code names.
The paladin in charge of the team was named Fanxing. He had been running with the Knights of Judgment for three days and three nights, just wanting to get to the Alchemy City as quickly as possible.
This was the first time since the establishment of the Knights of Judgment that they had the opportunity to face the legendary undead directly. Every one of them was so excited that they couldn't sleep for a long time. They wished they could fly directly to the Alchemy City to purify all evil in the name of Holy Light.
However, there is a long distance between the two countries, and the Ryan Empire does not have friendly relations with other countries. It is impossible for a powerful armed corps like the Knights of Judgment to be directly transferred to other countries.
Fanxing had to take a long detour with his teammates. Now they only had to cross the canyon in front of them, and the rest of the road would be smooth. However, according to intelligence, this canyon was occupied by a large tribe of gnolls.
The gnolls were cursed, twisted creatures, born evil and brutal. After occupying the canyon, they slaughtered countless passing humans. Fanxing had already made preparations to wipe out the gnoll tribe as a warm-up before dealing with the legendary undead.
Although this gnoll tribe numbers thousands of people, and although they have been running wildly for days and nights, Fanxing believes that the ten of them are enough to kill all of these gnolls.
Just as we reached the outskirts of the canyon, our teammates said, "Fanxing, something is wrong ahead."
Fanxing looked carefully with confusion and indeed found something wrong.
The canyon in front of us was covered by a light mist.
"The death cloud that hasn't completely dissipated yet?"
As the mortal enemy of the undead, Fanxing is very familiar with common undead spells. Death Cloud is a large-scale offensive undead spell. The caster can create a cloud of poisonous fog that covers the designated location.
The cloud of death has another name - a spell of city massacre.
If multiple necromancers work together to cast a spell, they can create a cloud of death that covers the entire city, causing great damage in a short period of time.
But the gnolls did not have the talent to become necromancers, so it was naturally impossible for them to release the cloud of death in their own home. This meant that a necromancer had once come to this canyon and a battle had taken place.
"Deploy toxin protection and let's go in and take a look."
At Fanxing's command, magical light lit up on everyone in the team, and light green magic lines were constructed into the shape of a shield, allowing these holy warriors to ignore the effects of most toxins.
Then they rode their celestial horses into the canyon.
Most of the poisonous fog had dissipated and could no longer cause any impact, but when they rushed into the simple camp in the canyon, everyone subconsciously held their breath.
Densely packed corpses of jackal men lay on the ground, their deaths extremely tragic.
Fanxing jumped off his mount and carefully examined the bodies of the gnolls.
Then Fanxing discovered that these gnolls were not only poisoned to death, many had their bodies pierced by weapons, their heads torn off by brute force, and some had most of their bodies missing as if they were devoured by zombies...From these details, one can draw a conclusion that it was not a certain necromancer who slaughtered the gnolls, but a huge undead army.
"Skeletons, zombies, ghouls, death knights, abominations... lots of traces of high-level undead." Fanxing was worried about the traces she had found.
The Jackal people were not ambushed without any preparation, but the two armies fought head-on, and the thousands of Jackal people were completely wiped out without any chance of fighting back.
"Keep looking inside. No matter how powerful this undead army is, it is impossible that there is not a single skeleton left. There are thousands of gnolls here. Such a large tribe must have warlocks and leaders... There is no way they have no power to resist."
Fanxing's words seemed to be an explanation to his teammates, but also like a encouragement to himself.
The scene before him was so outrageous that he had a bad feeling.
As we moved forward towards the canyon, all we saw were the corpses of the gnolls. At most, we could find some rotten flesh and blood on their claws and weapons, probably left over from the battle with the undead.
But there was still no skeleton to be seen, but there were many huge horse hoof prints on the ground. This was the death knights charging in formation, their nightmare mounts could ignore the rugged terrain and directly tear apart the gnoll troops.
It can be seen that those gnoll warlocks were pierced by the death knights' spears and then trampled into mud before they could cast spells.
Continuing forward, I finally saw a fragmented corpse of a ghoul. Probably because it was completely dismembered, it was not taken away. Near these ghoul remains were hundreds of times more gnoll corpses, and a giant gnoll as big as a grizzly bear was lying on the pile of corpses.
This is obviously the leader of the gnoll tribe. Just looking at his size, he has the strength to tear tigers and leopards apart alive. However, this powerful gnoll leader's body has been hollowed out, and all the internal organs in his abdomen and chest have disappeared. This is a typical ghoul attack method.
Fanxing examined it carefully and came to a conclusion.
The gnoll leader was pierced through the body by the Death Knight's spear, and his body was thrown to feed the ghouls.
He was unable to cause any harm to the enemy during his lifetime because the great axe in his hand was not stained with blood.
As for the torn zombie, it was most likely the only casualty that occurred when the zombies fought among themselves while fighting over food.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
What shocked Fanxing even more was that the Death Cloud was only cast after the war, probably because the war was too lazy to clean up the battlefield.
"They were not here to collect corpses or spoils of war. They were simply passing through and seemed to be in a hurry. Unfortunately, this group of gnolls blocked their way."
When Fanxing came to this conclusion, the expressions of all the holy warriors became solemn. They were all experts in dealing with the undead and understood what this battlefield represented. A huge army of undead passed by here and headed towards the direction of the Alchemy City.
This undead army has at least dozens of death knights, thousands of skeletons, and other undead troops such as ghouls. More importantly, there are many necromancers among them.
So the question is, what kind of strong man can lead such an army of undead, so strong that he doesn't even bother to take away the corpses of these jackals? Fanxing looked in the direction of the Alchemy City, feeling that this mission was more difficult than he had imagined.
"Everyone, be prepared. This time, we may have to deal with more than one legendary undead."
Fanxing's reminder made all the holy warriors nervous, but soon a teammate reminded them: "Such a large army of undead is heading towards the Alchemy City. Are they preparing to attack the Alchemy City? If so, perhaps we can use the power of the Alchemy City to deal with these undead."
This suggestion made Fanxing's eyes light up. This was indeed a good idea.
"That's right, let's speed up and bypass this undead army and reach the Alchemy City ahead of time!"
Fanxing took out a magic scroll of mass flight. Not long after, this group of holy warriors flew through the sky like meteors, carefully avoiding the huge undead army marching on the ground.
But they didn't realize that, higher up in the sky, there was a huge shadow hidden in the clouds. Only after they moved away did a huge dragon head emerge from the clouds.
A gigantic bone dragon about thirty or forty meters long descended from the sky and landed in front of a huge carriage. This carriage, made entirely of silver and pulled by sixteen hell nightmares, looked like a small palace, extremely noble and luxurious.
The bone dragon growled at the carriage, "Sister Qiangwei, why don't you kill these annoying paladins?"
A cold voice came from the carriage, answering: "Didn't you say that you saved Gareth in the Ryan Empire, so he fell in love with you?
"I, want to try it too."
