Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 223 Charge into Battle
The town of Selia is not small, and due to various reasons of population loss, most of the houses are empty.

It is more than enough to accommodate these dragon blood knights and dragon beasts.

The Dragon Blood Knights were quickly provided with accommodation and then began a night's rest.

I've been busy all day and I have a battle to fight tomorrow, so I must stay in good shape.

The magicians began to pack up their few belongings and prepare to migrate to Stonewell.

The next day, the Dragon Blood Knights marched towards the Selia Crystal Tunnel in a mighty force.

Unless the Dragon Blood Knights encounter a powerful enemy that is difficult to deal with, Bai Shi has no intention of taking action and will let them do whatever they want.

Although he would certainly feel sad when he saw the death of soldiers, Bai Shi wanted troops who would fight for him on the battlefield, not useless people who could only move forward under his protection.

Bai Shi led these dragon-blood knights into the tunnel.

The narrow entrance of the tunnel limits the speed at which the Dragon Blood Knights can enter.

Due to the size of the dragon beasts, only three or four dragon blood knights can advance together at a time.

If you want to take into account the walls on both sides, you can also have a few dragon beasts climbing up on each side.

However, the Dragonblood Knights were new to these dragon beasts and were clearly not yet accustomed to this stunt-like sideways climbing.

After all, gravity is still working well.

This crystal tunnel is located in the mountain, and the internal terrain is very complex.

Not only is it very deep horizontally, but the vertical drop inside is also very large, and you often need to rely on stairs to move.

This tunnel is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain difference can be used to block the enemy.

But for the Dragonblood Knights who are now riding on dragon beasts, it is no longer a huge obstacle.

Dragon beasts have strong vertical climbing abilities, and tunnels like these are just the right terrain for them to perform.

As soon as they entered the crystal tunnel, the Dragon Blood Knights encountered many corrupt followers.

This is a cave that is slightly wider than the passage, and is divided into two levels by stairs.

These corrupt followers were originally staying here, lying on the ground with their tails raised high and their tentacles dangling casually, as if they were resting.

When they saw someone attacking, they were startled at first, and then immediately got up from the ground.

The corrupt followers picked up swords and halberds to block the attack route of the Dragon Blood Knights.

Behind them, several more corrupt followers began to destroy the upward stairs.

One of the corrupt followers let out a loud roar from its mouth that was difficult for humans to understand.

The roar echoed in the cave, and soon conveyed the news of the enemy invasion to the rest of the companions in other caves.

In an instant, all kinds of hissing sounds rose and fell in the cave.

After the corrupt followers in the entire cave passed the information to each other, they all received the information.

The first few dragon blood knights who rushed in immediately accelerated the dragon beast again and charged forward rapidly.

Although the space inside this cave is more spacious, it is still not large enough to deploy troops.

Those corrupt followers have already received the news, and countless troops are bound to rush out of the tunnels next.

Once they officially come into contact in such a small place, they will be delayed and can only rely on the few people at the front to fight alone.

Therefore, their vanguard troops must immediately expand out and reach the wider cave outside before they can deploy the army's formation.

These corrupt followers brandished swords and halberds, trying to stop the charging Dragon Blood Knights.

But the Dragonblood Knights simply blocked the attacks with their shields, then ignored them and rushed forward.

These pioneers do not need to kill the corrupt followers here, they just need to keep moving forward and break out of the road.

The other partners following closely behind will clean them up.

In fact, there was no need for the Dragonblood Knights behind them to take action, as these corrupt followers had already been crushed by the dragon beasts' footsteps.

As the Dragon Blood Knights continued to charge, they quickly rushed through the passage and saw the huge space behind the passage.

However, when there was only one step left to pass through the passage, countless corrupt followers appeared at the end of the passage. They were so densely packed that it was impossible to tell how terrifying their number was.

The corrupt followers raised their weapons high into the sky and ejected countless silk threads from special organs in their bodies.

The dense silk threads came like a rainstorm, covering the sky and the earth.

The Dragonblood Knights used their shields to block in front of them, and even though the dense insect silk made clanging sounds, they never stopped charging.

The dense silk threads can leave pits and holes on the shield, and the damage cannot be underestimated.

The armor that was not protected by the shield was quickly penetrated, and blood splattered.

The condition of the dragon beasts was even more miserable. They were shot through the bodies and a large amount of silver blood splattered.

After realizing that these insect silks could cause serious damage to the dragon beasts, the Dragon Blood Knights turned their shields to block the dragon beasts' heads.

The dragon beast is the key to their breaking through the blockade and must not fall.

Fortunately, although the dragon beasts were seriously injured, as artificial creatures, they still did not lose their ability to move.

At this moment, they completely ignored the injuries on their bodies, knocked away dozens of corrupt followers in one breath, and finally rushed into the wide cave through the passage.

Although these pioneers were immediately surrounded by the corrupt followers, behind them, a large number of their companions had already poured out from the passage one after another.

When a dozen Dragon Blood Knights rushed out of the passage, these corrupt followers were no longer able to stop them and could only watch as more and more Dragon Blood Knights spread out their lines along the rock wall.

The Dragonblood Knights protected their companions who had charged earlier behind them and took over the battle below.

The Dragonblood Knights and the Corrupted Followers came into formal close combat, and the battlefield immediately turned into a meat grinder.

Although the weapons of the corrupt followers had been processed and were considered good, they lacked armor and could only rely on their own shells for defense. This shell seemed a little too fragile under the swords of the Dragonblood Knights.

When the dragon blood sword is swung, these corrupt followers will be cut off instantly, and blood and flesh will splatter everywhere.

The magicians from the town of Selia also came in and provided a lot of output.

Stella releases Eternal Darkness, summoning a huge dark void in the center of the cave.

The dense silk threads were completely swallowed up by the darkness, and the Dragon Blood Knights no longer had to worry about attacks from a distance.

The Dragon Blood Knights continued to eliminate the corrupt followers and quickly advanced the front line.

However, there are some special corrupt followers among them, and their appearance is almost the same as other corrupt followers.

But the mucus that splashes out of their bodies is thinner and darker in color.

The blood splattered on the ground, and no one noticed anything unusual at first.

But after a few breaths, when the blood evaporated, something strange happened on the battlefield.

Gradually, some Dragon Blood Knights began to behave strangely.

A dragonblood knight was about to swing his sword to cut off the body of the corrupt follower in front of him, but he felt his whole body suddenly paralyzed.

In an instant, he was picked off the dragon beast by the corrupt followers with a long spear, and the sword and spear blades kept hitting him.

This situation was not an isolated case, and Hakan soon discovered that the air in the area was poisonous.

So orders were given to speed up the advance and avoid staying in the same area for too long.

After clearing out the corrupt followers around their fallen comrades, most of the knights were able to stand up.

The armor of the Dragonblood Knights blocked a large amount of damage, preventing them from being killed immediately by the corrupt followers, but most of them were stained with scarlet corruption by their swords and halberds.

But a few Dragonblood Knights were not so lucky and were killed through the gaps in their armor.

As the number of corrupt followers in this area decreased, a special hissing sound was heard from behind.

After hearing the sound, only a small number of corrupt followers continued to stay here to block the attack, and the rest all retreated.

Hakan did not give the Dragonblood Knights the opportunity to pursue.

Behind them are the territories where the corrupt followers have been entrenched for a long time. I'm afraid there will be a lot of traps and ambushes.

It is not a good option to rush in rashly. It is better to occupy this space suitable for combat first.

Hakan ordered the knights to treat the wounded first and began to mobilize the dragon beasts.

He asked the Dragon Blood Knights who were at the back of the team to move to the front, and those who had just fought to rest quickly.

There was no statistics on how many corrupt relatives were killed, and the corpses all over the ground made it difficult to count the number, but at least there must be thousands.

I took a quick look at the injured at the scene.

Eighty or ninety of them suffered varying degrees of injuries, including trauma, poisoning, and scarlet corruption.

There were about twelve or thirteen people who were killed directly in the fight just now.

Most of those killed were Dragon Blood Knights who were among the first to charge.

Hakan looked at the body in front of him and shook his head.

It is already a very good result to be able to break in at such a small cost.

Hakan took out the neutralizing incense from Baishi and gave it to the dragonblood knights who were infected by the scarlet corruption.

Gather the wounded together, and the Dragonblood Knights will use prayer to treat them together.

When the treatment was over, the wounded were able to stand up again with full energy.

Bai Shi had been watching the battle from the sidelines just to see how the Dragon Blood Knights performed.

Although he had never seen a proper medieval army fighting, the performance of the Dragon Blood Knights was indeed good.

Except for the lack of long-range means and only some people knowing Storm Blade, other aspects are quite good.

Of course, this is also related to the difference in individual soldier quality.

The corrupt dependents are slightly weaker than ordinary soldiers, which is why they achieved such results.

The Dragon Blood Knights occupied the entire cave and blocked all entrances and exits, preparing for the next step of cleanup.

But at this moment, a huge noise suddenly came from somewhere in the cave.

The noise was like the sound of a heavy door being opened.

Then, the sound of rumbling hooves gradually came from inside the cave, getting closer and closer.

The Dragon Blood Knights were on full alert and gathered in front of the passage where the sound came from.

After a while, several corrupt followers rushed out of the cave one after another.

Seeing that the road ahead had been blocked by the Dragon Blood Knights, he was still unwilling to stop.

Because behind them, there is some more terrifying monster chasing them.

The Dragonblood Knights killed all of these corrupt followers and also saw what kind of creatures were chasing them.

A rock beast with huge jaws crawled out of the passage.

It was the falling star beast that descended from the starry sky to the border area.
