482: Chapter 482: Undead Mage Joins the Battle 482: Chapter 482: Undead Mage Joins the Battle “Look quickly, Fla Fortress is deploying troops.”
Suddenly, Coscola spoke, and everyone immediately looked toward the east.
Since Fla Fortress was right beside them and not very far away, they could still clearly see the situation there from their high vantage point.
These Undead were heading south, not only targeting them but also attacking other places.
At Fla Fortress, the gates opened, and a formidable cavalry charged out, sweeping across the opposing Undead.
It seemed as though they were determined to rival the Wolf Cavalry, and as the two armies fought, the clash grew fiercer.
But as a large number of Undead fell, Coscola’s expression did not look good.
“What’s wrong, did you notice something amiss?” Xi Fei immediately asked, although she had some understanding of military aspects, she was not as knowledgeable as a professional.
Coscola said gravely, “This won’t do; their physical strength and Combat Energy are limited.
This method of fighting will quickly deplete them.
We must go to support them now.”
Fla Fortress was a formidable military stronghold.
With the cavalry deployed from Fla Fortress, there were certainly reinforcements behind them.
Even if they were exhausted, it wouldn’t matter; their military strength was greater, not to mention the defensive power of the fortress was formidable.
But what about their side?
They had only a lookout post.
The Lizardmen had numerous forces, but if they were defeated, they would definitely retreat since they were not regular troops.
“I understand, follow me, we’re going to support them.
Coscola, the command is yours now,” she said.
“But…” Coscola started to say something but was immediately cut off by Xi Fei.
“I am not as skilled as you in commanding, so you have the final word here, everything for our lord.” Saying this, Xi Fei turned and went down, where a group of people had already quickly formed ranks.
Because they usually practiced formations diligently, everyone gathered very quickly.
“Aleya didn’t come?” Xi Fei asked Jeana, noting she was alone here.
Jeana shook her head: “No, Sister Aleya is the Beastman Ambassador, she can’t join the battlefield.”
With Aleya’s status, if she participated in a territorial war, the nature of her involvement would change.
No matter who it was against, Zhao Guang might face questions from some nobles.
“Hmph, these people are indeed unreliable,” Xi Fei muttered under her breath.
The Beastmen looked down on her, and she also looked down on these Beastmen.
Previously, she had no support, but now that her lord’s power had strengthened, Xi Fei, as someone close to her lord, naturally had the right to despise these Beastmen.
Of course, face-to-face, Xi Fei would still maintain her demeanor.
Looking ahead, she saw that some of the Wolf Cavalry were already beginning to show signs of fatigue.
After all, even in a unified elite cavalry, not every soldier was the same.
There were always some who were weaker, and they were now falling behind.
Xi Fei knew that if this continued, many of these Wolf Cavalry might be left behind, with at least half of them unable to return.
“Send orders to have them regroup.
Jeana, Support Magic, we’re going over to assist.”
Jeana nodded, then began casting her spells.
Thanks to the preparations made earlier, it took less than a minute to get ready.
Moreover, Elena had already received the order to retreat.
After cursing under her breath, Elena said loudly, “Retreat.”
Actually, she was about to retreat herself, having held on up to this point solely due to pride.
It couldn’t be helped.
On the opposite side, a human cavalry was causing them trouble, and as elite Beastman cavalry, failing to overwhelmingly suppress the human cavalry was extremely embarrassing for them.
In fact, the human cavalry on the opposite side was about to collapse as well.
If they hadn’t started late, and if the density of the Undead on the opposing side wasn’t as high, they probably would have collapsed much earlier.
Just as they were thinking about retreating, the Undead Mage on the opposite side was not pleased.
“Killing so many of our subordinates and still wanting to retreat, what a nice thought,” he said.
“Exactly, we must keep them.
These are prime materials for creating Undead.
It’s a pity about the time, we can only turn them into skeletons.
If we could make zombie cavalry, and with this armor, we would be quite a force when we leave.”
“Wait, let Casar try something.
The opposition may not be simple.”
Just as they were about to make a move, suddenly, a dark shadow blocked them.
“Casar, that madman, it’s nothing to him.
Look quick, Casar has made a move.”
True to their expectations, Casar’s furious temper made him unable to restrain himself and he launched the attack.
He had always been at odds with them, which is why he hadn’t come to the meeting.
It seemed that he too had his eyes on these Wolf Cavalry, a large number of elite Undead forming a distinctive posture in the ranks.
They were a group of gray-white zombies, yet these zombies moved very quickly, entirely unlike typical stiff zombies.
Some figures in black robes were driving them from behind; these were all apprentices of Casar.
At the very back, a completely emaciated figure, looking more like a zombie than a human, slowly walked at the end of the group.
As the Undead ahead blocked them, by the time the Wolf Cavalry reached the ice, they had already been caught up by the zombies.
“Damn it, you’re courting death.” Hearing the screams behind her, Elena looked back and saw several of her soldiers had been cruelly killed, and she could no longer restrain herself.
Since coming to the Xuanwu Territory, not a single one of her subordinates had died.
Though Beastmen did not fear death, being poisoned to death by the enemy’s potent venom was another matter entirely.
“You all go back, the fight ahead is ours,” Xi Fei shouted loudly, as the soldiers enhanced by Support Magic already charged forward.
It was an infantry squadron, but with large shields and armor, their defensive power was very strong.
It was unfortunate that they could not wear heavy armor because the ice now could no longer bear it.
Elena glanced around, then said loudly, “Everyone fall back, you few stay and fight with me.” Elena simply kept a few of the most capable from among the squads.
Although they had been fighting for a while, their strength still remained very intact.
Xi Fei took a glance and did not say much, only silently took note.
Those disobedient guys would soon know who’s in charge.
However, now was not the time, as they couldn’t start fighting among themselves.
The Undead Mage on the opposite side never paused, continuing his approach.
In his hands, a cluster of green light kept condensing, then suddenly he threw it towards their side.
One glance was enough to know this was definitely nothing good.
