Chapter 193 The Terrifying Knight

In the gradually thinning mist, ghostly figures appeared one after another.

Akalia, already embedded in the army's ranks, grinned upon seeing Lu Feng's methods:
"Lu Feng is truly remarkable. With a casual move, he broke the enemy's advantageous terrain. I don't have such means to alter the celestial phenomena!"

The fog would obscure her vision, and Akalia's troops were all human soldiers; she didn't want to be blind in the foggy area, fighting undead creatures whose origins she didn't know.

Giving the enemy a geographical advantage would tip the scales of victory in their favor, which was definitely not what she wanted to see.

Now, Lu Feng has solved this biggest problem with a single move.

At the same time, in the core area of ​​the misty region, a terrifying knight exuding an aura of death suddenly opened his eyes in the eerie and terrifying White Bone Castle.

A chilling, terrifying voice, cold enough to freeze one's soul, echoed from the castle of bones: "Where did this blind brat come from, daring to disturb my slumber!"

Amidst this sound, a series of bone-grinding sounds suddenly rang out outside the Bone Castle.

"Crack, click, click!"

One after another, terrifying undead creatures, their souls burning fiercely, picked up weapons, crawled out of their peaceful graves, and began to gather in front of the Bone Castle.

In no time, a terrifying knight, over five meters tall, riding a skeletal horse, covered in jet-black armor, and wielding a lance, stepped out of the Bone Castle amidst the crisp sound of hooves.

Two crimson eyes shot out from the Dread Knight's helmet, scanning the surroundings.

"Gentlemen, follow me and slay the invading enemy here!"

The chilling voice echoed in all directions, and the undead creatures before the Bone Castle raised their weapons in response.

Before the Bone Castle, the army assembled and, led by the Dread Knights, surged like a tide toward the edge of the misty region, the place where Lu Feng and the others had appeared.

Behind them, billowing black mist rose from the Bone Castle, merging into the vast fog and maintaining the foggy state of the area for a long time.

……

As these undead creatures headed towards their destination, the fog before them had thinned considerably due to the constant absorption of the Bone Spire.

As his field of vision expanded, Akalaya took the initiative, leading his army to clear away the undead creatures in the misty area before him.

The holy light shone down on this area that had not been touched by sunlight for a long time. One after another, the undead creatures burned fiercely in the light and heat, turning into ashes that fell into the soil beneath their feet.

"With the bones of these undead creatures fertilizing the land, this place may become a bountiful farmland next year!"

On the outskirts of the Misty Lands, the undead creatures are relatively weak, mostly consisting of skeletons and ordinary zombies, with only a few one-star undead creatures.

Akalea's army swept through, easily wiping out the undead creatures.

Akaleya is so relaxed and easy that he even has time to joke around.

Of course, Akalaya knew this was impossible; the land had been tainted by the death aura of undead creatures and had become a dead zone.

Even if all the undead creatures on this land were wiped out, it would still take a lot of time to evolve the death energy in this land.

It will also require communicating with the earth's veins, casting spells, and restoring the vitality of this land. It will take several years before crops can be grown on this land.

Akalea's army advanced rapidly under the influence of the land breeze, continuously expanding its gains.

But soon, a powerful aura of death appeared deep within the misty area, gradually becoming clearer as it approached.

"Akalea, watch out! Enemies are coming from the mist! Prepare for battle!"

Lu Feng, flying high and with a wide view, noticed the anomaly and immediately alerted Akalia.

"understand!"

Upon hearing this, Akalia's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. With a wave of her hand, her human soldiers immediately adjusted their formation, preparing for a major battle.

The earth mage in the group took action, and with the power of the earth surging, a simple camp was built on the spot in no time, complete with earthen walls and trenches.

Akaleya excels at fighting tough, drawn-out battles.

With the help of earth magic, quickly establishing a terrain advantage to defend against invading enemies will allow her to better utilize her strengths.

Seeing the formation of the position below, Lu Feng no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to fly in the sky and become a conspicuous figure.

Landing beside Akalia, Lu Feng casually restored the bone spire to its original state and placed it in the center of the camp. He then turned to ask:
"How's it going? Are you confident you can defeat the next enemy? Should I send my undead army to fight?"

Akalia smiled and shook her head: "No need, my army also needs to be tested by war. You just need to help me deal with the stronger enemies!"

Besides expanding her territory, her purpose in coming here was also to train her troops. With the continuous support of the Golden Eagle family, the strength of the Golden Eagle Territory's army has rapidly increased.

In a short period of time, a number of 2-star units were revealed.

She had enough power to handle battles of the average 2-star white-grade level, so she invited Lu Feng mainly to deal with the 2-star powerhouses in the mist area who were beyond her capabilities.

In the world of Lords, heroes can command large armies, and powerful troop types are the key to determining the outcome of battles.

Akalya didn't want his hard-earned army to fail in this foggy region.

Soon, a dense aura of death swept in like a winter wind, chilling the human soldiers in the camp to the bone.

"Holy Light, may you protect us!"

At this moment, in Akalaya's camp, a campfire slowly rose, and the holy priests who wielded the Holy Light sat around it, praying and singing inspiring war songs.

"Crack!"

The glow and warmth of the campfire, catalyzed by the holy light, shone like warm sunshine throughout the camp, dispelling the raging death winds and restoring the human troops in the camp to their fighting strength.

"Da da da!"

The sound of hurried footsteps grew louder as countless undead creatures surged out of the mist like a tide, rushing towards the camp.

"Defend the enemy!"

Akalya's soldiers stood on the earthen walls of the camp, preparing methodically. As soon as the undead army reached within a hundred meters of the camp, the camp's archers drew their bows and unleashed a volley of arrows. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Sharpshooter is an elite evolved form of the Archer among the Human race's units. It is a 1-star silver-level unit, skilled in archery, and can shoot arrows from over 300 meters away with unerring accuracy.

The archers' arrows have all been blessed by the holy priests of Golden Eagle Territory, imbued with holy light and the power to exorcise evil.

Arrows rained down, accurately striking the heads of the undead creatures.

The arrows pierced the bones and rotting flesh of the undead creature, causing little damage, but the holy light within them erupted, igniting the death energy within the undead creature and instantly turning it into a ball of flames.

In addition, there were catapults brought by Akalya in the camp, which were hurling barrels of oil imbued with holy light into the undead army, creating golden walls of fire that burned swarms of undead creatures to death.

However, undead creatures have always fought by sheer numbers, and as the undead army spread out, Akalea's methods could only temporarily hinder the undead's charge.

The spreading flames were quickly extinguished by the trampling of more undead creatures. After sacrificing some of the undead's lives, the undead army advanced its battle line to the earthen walls of the camp.

The simple traps set up in front of the earthen wall were triggered one after another, killing some undead creatures. But that was about it. Faced with the overwhelming number of undead, these small traps could only slightly hinder the undead army for a moment.

Soon, the white undead army crashed against the earthen walls of the camp, and Akalya's human soldiers clashed with these undead creatures in close combat, engaging in a real battle.

Brilliant holy light occasionally emanated from the earthen wall, burning undead creatures or healing wounded soldiers.

Those were holy priests in the camp, casting holy light spells, and paladins and gryphon riders using magical combat techniques, constantly slaughtering undead creatures.

Meanwhile, in the distance, squads of necromancers and archers were also firing arrows and casting necromancy spells to provide long-range support to the undead army.

There were also skeletal catapults, hurling rotting zombies laden with the plague of death over the camp, slamming them into the human soldiers, causing the plague to break out among the crowd and creating some minor chaos.

The two sides were locked in fierce combat. Akalia was earnestly directing the battle, while Lu Feng stood atop the Bone Spire, scanning his surroundings and searching for the enemy deep within the mist.

At this moment, the battle between the human soldiers and the undead army in the camp was clearly just an appetizer. Neither the two-star units under Akalia's command nor the two-star undead creatures of the undead army had yet joined the battle.

The final battle is far from over, and the lord of these undead creatures has yet to appear on the battlefield.

The undead army's fierce attack at this time was more of a pre-battle attrition tactic. They wanted to deplete the human soldiers' physical strength and magic power to create favorable conditions for the undead army's elite to make their appearance.

Akalia understood the undead army's plan. Her two-star troops held back, not fully committing to the battle, only intervening when their soldiers were in danger to preserve their strength.

This war of attrition lasted for five or six hours, until a layer of white bones piled up on the ground in front of the earthen wall of the camp, filling the height difference between the earthen wall and the ground. Countless undead creatures had died.

Akalia's human soldiers also suffered heavy losses, with at least two-tenths dying, even with timely intervention from two-star units.

War inevitably involves death, so preparing a group of undead creatures to kill them seems somewhat pointless.

By this point in the battle, Akalaya's smile had vanished. No lord could maintain a smile after losing so many soldiers.

Looking at the situation on the field, Akaleya hardened his heart and said:

"The Royal Griffin Knights have made their move. We can't wait any longer. We can't outlast the undead army by attrition!"

At Akalaya's command, royal griffin riders rose from the camp and hovered in the air above it.

"Zizzizi!"

One by one, the Royal Griffin Knights drew their Thunder Hammers, their hammers crackling with brilliant blue lightning.

"Chain Lightning!"

"Chain Lightning!"

The Royal Griffin Knights unleashed their most powerful lightning spells, instantly unleashing streaks of brilliant electric lightning from their hammers, shooting to the ground and weaving through the undead creatures.

Wherever the lightning snakes passed, undead creatures were instantly electrocuted and reduced to charred remains, beyond any hope of survival.

With just a few flashes of lightning, a large area of ​​undead creatures in front of the earthen wall was cleared out.

"Holy Light!"

"Dedication!"

As the Royal Griffin Knights made their move, the Holy Priests and Light Knights under Akalea's command unleashed their holy spells to cleanse undead creatures.

The scorching, holy power of light poured into the ground beneath their feet, and the Knight of Light's Consecration spell caused golden flames to ignite the bodies of the undead creatures before them, burning them to ashes in the flames.

The holy light of the holy priest shines down like the sun, burning countless undead creatures to death.

The power of holy light always deals tons of damage to undead creatures filled with the aura of death.

In a sense, the units of the Golden Eagle Territory of Akalia are quite effective against undead creatures.

However, this restraint is relative. If the death power of undead creatures is stronger than the power of holy light, the death power can also cause tons of damage to the followers of holy light.

With the addition of two-star units, Akalia's human forces were immediately invigorated and sounded the horn of counterattack. Led by the two-star units, they transformed into golden blades and brutally tore through the surging tide of undead.

"Haha, the human army on the other side finally couldn't hold back anymore! Death Knight squadron, follow me, prepare to attack!"

Akalia's move immediately drew the attention of the terrifying knight from the depths of the mist. He led a squad of nearly a hundred death knights riding skeletal horses and wearing armor, ready for battle.

Under the command of the Dread Knight, even more and more elite undead creatures surged forward, surrounding Akalea's army as they broke out of the camp.

Knowing that his side had fewer two-star units than Akalia, the Dread Knight used undead creatures as expendable resources to drag Akalia and his army into a quagmire of attrition.

Then, after these human armies had suffered heavy losses, he led his Death Knight squadron into the enemy ranks and annihilated them.

This tactic is undoubtedly the best plan.

However, the Dread Knight had no idea that Akalia's party included Lu Feng, an illogical lord.

"I see him! He's a two-star silver-ranked terrifying knight. Interesting! Heading in that direction, I'm going to cut him down!"

Lu Feng sat atop the griffin rider, holding the Bone Spire, and gazed at the misty area where the Dread Knight was located, giving instructions to Akalia.
