Chapter 814: Chapter 812: Slaughter Rampage

"Scarlet blaze, charge!"

With Amirka’s roar, all the Red Knights raised their scythes and charged forward.

Their charge was like a meteor shower crossing the summer night sky, rushing toward the deceitful shadows.

Behind them followed the Undead Corps under Amirka’s command, their bodies appearing to flare with flames, growing brighter.

It felt like meteors streaking across, igniting the earth.

This was not a skill of the Red Knights but rather a method Amirka learned from the Iron Cavalry Strategy Book, infantry and cavalry coordination.

Unlike normal infantry charging alongside cavalry, this coordination allows mutual attribute enhancement between infantry and cavalry.

The cavalry’s shout effectively transferred half of their attribute points to the infantry, hence the flames on their bodies.

The cavalry also received half the attributes from the infantry.

The more infantry there are, the stronger the cavalry’s attack power becomes.

At the start of their charge, the enhancement only just begins, but as the Red Knights cover a distance, their momentum peaks.

Scythes raised, they immediately chop at the deceitful shadows in front. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

From the sweep, a vast number of shadows are directly sliced into two.

The warhorses with scarlet flames stomp over the fallen shadows, reducing their bodies to pulp.

Even if Gu Xi wanted to summon souls from the corpses, they could yield neither Skeleton Soldiers nor Zombies, at most some Ghosts.

But Amirka didn’t consider this, having received the charge command, he let himself go, leading his men forward, slicing through the Shadowy Squad.

Gu Xi wouldn’t miss such an opportunity; he pointed forward with his Illusion Magic Wand.

"Skeleton Soldiers, attack, kill all enemies, occupy all buildings."

After issuing the command, Gu Xi continued, "For this battle, all gains are self-distributed, no need to submit."

Upon hearing Gu Xi’s command, the eyes of the Undead Bosses lit up.

They understood Gu Xi’s words.

Whatever one grabs in this battle is theirs.

Thus, the Ghost Boss and Zombie Boss already on the battlefield immediately pressed forward to seize something.

Gu Xi had fought several battles with the shadows in Yalidu City before; they knew well that killing shadows doesn’t easily yield equipment, but Deceitful Energy Pearls can be exchanged one-for-one with negative energy.

And can be used to enhance the Undead.

Though these undead have passed, who wouldn’t want to become stronger after death?

With such incentives, even undead lacking morale unleashed extraordinary combat power.

Not to mention, the undead’s combat power surpasses that of these deceitful shadows.

The undead charged forward furiously, delivering a barrage against the scattered shadows.

Especially the Skeleton Soldiers who hadn’t engaged before, they seized the chance and immediately pounced on the enemies.

The weapons wielded by these Skeleton Soldiers vary, ranging from long spears and long swords to large knives and longswords, with some holding wooden clubs, hammers, and even bone sticks.

Their combat style is quite simplistic; once they lock on an enemy, they disregard their safety, hammering downwards relentlessly.

Such attacks would certainly appear inferior for Elf-types.

Yet, for skeletons, it’s the ideal combat style.

Given the sheer number of Skeleton Soldiers, and since they can’t squeeze together like Ghosts, few can reach the enemies upfront, limited to arm-swinging space.

Thus, relentless downward striking is their most convenient and straightforward method.

Even so, many Skeleton Soldiers have no enemies to fight, not counting the Skeleton Shooters and Skeleton Mages still at the rear.

Therefore, some Skeleton Soldiers targeted nearby houses.

The Skeleton Bosses guiding them recalled Gu Xi’s command.

"Destroy all enemies, occupy all buildings."

With no enemies left to fight, occupying buildings was their option.

Hence, some Skeleton Soldiers charged into nearby houses, seemingly wanting to dismantle them.

However, their actions stirred up trouble.

Inside these houses were hidden weaker deceitful shadows.

They hadn’t fought as they were too weak, inutile on the battlefield.

Thus, they stayed tucked inside small castle-like houses, planning to cause Gu Xi trouble afterward.

But as the Skeleton Soldiers wandered aimlessly, they barged into the houses, flushing out the shadow-level ones without levels.

These shadows, although level-less, akin to civilian-like entities in Yalidu City, were numerous.

The Skeleton Soldiers stirred a hornet’s nest, flushing out over thirty thousand shadows, overloading the Skeleton Soldiers with sheer numbers.

Some even rushed toward Gu Xi.

Faced with this situation, Gu Xi was speechless.

Those hiding in the houses, not joining the battle?

Are these still shadows?

Though internally critiquing the situation, Gu Xi kept busy; he wouldn’t want these powerless creatures reaching him.

That would indeed be shameful.

Gu Xi refused to let such things happen. He raised his hand, launching an attack at the advancing shadows lacking levels.

Death Ripple!

With Gu Xi’s current strength, aided by many Necromancers beside him, the Death Ripple’s scope was massive, enveloping the entire city sector.

Though the Death Ripple’s power weakens at such a vast scale, the life of these level-less shadows resembles underground rats, mere small animals.

This Death Ripple could outright eliminate them.

Gu Xi hadn’t tried such extensive Death Ripple attacks before.

This scenario provided the chance; under Gu Xi’s Death Ripple assault, all shadows rushing out from the house flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, never to rise again.
