Chapter 283: 281 Yellow Sand City Fierce Battle_1

If it were merely about a frontal battle, many Dore Warriors were no match for tall monsters like Ogres.

Comparatively, they were more agile and almost all of them were equipped with excellent short swords and hand crossbows.

Normally they were difficult opponents, but the narrow surrounding area temporarily put them at a disadvantage.

However, as more powerful subterranean creatures like Spider-transformed Elves and Swamp Bearmen climbed over the low temporary walls, the situation changed.

Soon, many Dore Mages, Priests, and other subterranean race Spellcasters had appeared not far outside of Yellow Sand City.

They raised their Wands high, and then various spells such as Magic Missiles, Lightning beams, Freezing rays, and Fireball skills bombarded the low temporary walls.

These temporary low walls built by Ogre Mages’ spells didn’t help much, and after being bombarded by various spells, they were already on the verge of collapsing.

“Boom!”

With a loud noise, several massive Subterranean Giant Lizards directly knocked down the collapsing low walls.

Soon after, another breach in the wall met the same fate.

From then on, Yellow Sand City was breached again, and countless Undead and subterranean creatures poured inside like a tide.

Compared to them, the Soaring Dragon Legion in Yellow Sand City had far fewer numbers, and the situation immediately turned chaotic.

“Awoo!”

Suddenly, howls of wolves emerged from a hidden area on the edge of Yellow Sand City.

Then, under the leadership of a giant Silver Wolf, numerous Black Dire Wolves, Wargs, and other Wolves swiftly rushed toward the rear of the subterranean army.

They had been lying in ambush outside under Gaz’s arrangement.

Link, who was at the forefront, took a deep breath and then aimed a Furious Chain Lightning toward the densest crowd.

Countless Dore and subterranean creatures were blasted away by the Furious Thunder Power, and the pack of wolves swept over their rears.

Almost all of them were Spellcasters from various subterranean races, and they had never thought that any enemies would appear behind them.

Just in one encounter, many robed Spellcasters with mediocre physical strength died in the jaws of wolves.

Riley at the rear saw this and immediately showed a worried expression on her face.

Spellcasters were the rarest and most valuable resources, regardless of any race or force.

Without her urging, Landry’s subsequent Undead army had already followed.

Originally, the Undead were supposed to move ahead of Riley’s army, but she urged her own forces to speed up for fear of being robbed of merit.

Comparatively, the travel speed of ordinary Undead was a bit slower.

However, from the current situation, it seemed more like they were rushing to give their heads to the enemy.

Leading the pack of Giant Wolfkin and Dire Wolves, Link and his team could be considered light cavalry, while on the Undead side, there were some Death Knights riding Skeleton Warhorses.

These were genuine high-level undead creatures. Although few in number, the gathered charge appeared terrifying.

Most Death Knights could use quite a few effective spells in addition to their terrifying melee abilities.

Before engaging with the pack of wolves, several leading Death Knights raised their long swords, and then Hellfire Beads condensed in front of them.

Outwardly, this appeared similar to a Fireball skill, but its effect was much more potent, and it would cause a violent explosion with a diameter of about ten meters after hitting the target.

It would also deal half fire damage and half corruption damage, making it very difficult to deal with in many situations.

Soon, the first batch of Hellfire Beads fell into the wolves, instantly blasting the nearby Dire Wolves and Wargs away.

These unlucky wolf cubs, even if they didn’t die on the spot, would still suffer continuous damage from the flames and corruption.

Compared to dying from unrelenting pain, dying on the spot was a more comfortable way to die.

The Hellfire Beads were very effective, and just one round of attacks put a lot of pressure on Link and the pack of wolves behind him.

Fortunately, this skill couldn’t be used consecutively in a short time, or else, with their decent mobility, a sizable group of Death Knights could become terrifying mobile artillery.

After the Hellfire Beads achieved favorable results, these Death Knights didn’t linger. Instead, they enchanted their swords with demonic weapon effects and charged into the pack of wolves.

At the moment of contact with the wolves, several Death Knights swung their swords forcefully at the Giant Wolves in front of them.

At the same time, dark green flames enveloped their somewhat worn swords, and the struck wolf cubs were instantly chopped in half.

Ordinary Dire Wolves or Wargs were no match for Death Knights.

The only ones who could contend with Death Knights were Link and some of the Dragonborn transformed Wolfkin Werewolves.

However, after briefly assessing the surrounding situation, Link led the pack of wolves to retreat.

As time passed and the main force of the Undead arrived, it would be impossible for them to escape even if they wanted to.

Moreover, the purpose of this surprise attack was already achieved, and the Dore Spellcasters had suffered heavy losses, so the threat to the Soaring Dragon Legion was minimized in a short time.

Seeing the wolves swiftly retreating, the Death Knights had no intention of pursuing.

Their numbers were too scarce, and if they charged up without other companions’ cover, they might be swarmed and torn apart by the large pack of wolves.

Then, they forcefully broke through the Dore in front of them like a sharp knife, rushing toward the breach in Yellow Sand City.

They had no mercy for the so-called allies or the slender Dore; some of the Dore who couldn’t dodge in time met a tragic end under their hooves.

As more low-level Undead and Dore cleared the path ahead, the charge of these Death Knights reached its peak speed.

Dark energy enveloped them and their Skeleton Warhorses, so they believed that merely relying on some heavily armored Ogres would be insufficient to stop them!

And indeed, it was true. As a large number of Ogres and Minotaurs from the Soaring Dragon Legion were knocked away, the subterranean army finally managed to create a breach for entering the city.

Death Knights were natural born Undead leaders, and under their guidance, the fragile low-level Undead around them even had their running speed increased.
