Chapter 834 - 378: Counterattack (Part 2)
Gang Le staggered back in a sorry state!
His arms were numb, and his palms throbbed with pain!
"The Black Knight is indeed formidable!"
Gang Le couldn’t help but recall the undead knowledge Avril had taught him.
Although the Black Knights weren’t the highest level of undead, they retained some intelligence and pre-death combat experience.
The strength of Black Knights varied, mostly depending on the materials used in their creation.
However, they had lost their humanity, obeying only the Necromancer’s orders and their instinct to kill.
Coupled with their awakened charging combat skills and undead enchanted equipment, they possessed combat power surpassing what they had in life.
"You monster!"
Gang Le took a deep breath, trying hard to adjust his state.
"If I hadn’t already killed seven giant ghouls before, exhausting much of my strength!"
Gang Le watched the Black Knight warily and involuntarily stepped back, "I would have split your head open with an axe long ago!"
The Black Knight wasted no words, lifting its longsword and charging at Gang Le again!
The Black Knight’s sword techniques were fierce, with each attack carrying wisps of black mist!
These were precisely the undead enchantments, not only poisonous but also corrosive!
The blade sliced through the air, emitting a piercing sound, forcing Gang Le to dodge and retreat awkwardly!
Gang Le couldn’t find an opportunity to counter-attack at all!
Every clash of weapons made his arms more sore!
At this moment, a vast swath of pale green light streaked across the sky!
The light fell like raindrops, bathing Gang Le!
Instantly, Gang Le felt incredibly invigorated, a surge of power coursing through his body!
Without hesitation, Gang Le swung his war axe to counterattack!
Bam!
The war axe firmly blocked the Black Knight’s great sword.
"Ha! I’ve recovered now!"
Gang Le kicked the Black Knight away with great force!
Clang!
A muffled sound echoed, the impact on the iron armor making Gang Le’s heel tingle!
"Damn it, this thing really is as hard as a rock!"
Gang Le cursed, just as he was about to charge forward and fight with the war axe again—
Boom!
A massive fireball descended from the sky, landing directly on the Black Knight!
Flames erupted, engulfing the Black Knight in an instant!
The Black Knight, unlike the mindless ghouls, knew the fire’s harm to itself.
It rolled around frantically, trying to extinguish the flames.
Whizz!
An arrow whistled through the air, penetrating the Black Knight’s helmet!
Gang Le seized the moment, his war axe slicing through the air!
Crack!
The Black Knight’s head flew off!
"Come on! Come try hacking me again!"
Gang Le kicked the Black Knight’s body away, cursing loudly.
Then he casually chopped off a roaring ghoul’s head, picked up the Black Knight’s head, and turned around.
Linda, who had cast the fireball, and Kael, who had shot the arrow, had already moved on to support others.
"Don’t worry, I won’t keep this glory to myself alone!"
Gang Le shouted from afar, "This head belongs to the three of us!"
With that, Gang Le tossed the head behind him and faced the next Black Knight.
The spot where Gang Le threw the head already had a pile of seven giant ghoul heads.
These were materials to exchange for meritorious deeds and money.
Gang Le wasn’t lacking in money; just the Gold Coin from the campaign against the eastern provinces was enough to support a dozen widows.
But his brothers needed these.
Some needed money to support their wives and children; others needed meritorious deeds to step into another regular corps.
And there was that top-tier knight, Kael, much like Gang Le.
He didn’t belong in the Vanguard Corps wasting his days.
...
...
The battlefield ahead was deadlocked.
And Luo De sat on the hill at the back.
Giant Dragons surrounded him, guarding him.
Luo De closed his eyes, one hand gently touching the sapling of the Tree of Life.
Within the magic energy network, he focused on all his subordinates who bore the seed of nature inside them.
Luo De could sense each of their conditions.
When someone was in danger and called for help, Luo De would infuse the power of life into them immediately.
This power came from the surplus energy of other Seeds of Nature.
Although not endless, it was enough to save a few lives.
Some energy also came from the sky of the magic energy network.
Countless points of light flickered above, along with clusters of flame-bearing stars, like bright campfires suspended in the sky.
This was Luo De’s conscious starry sky.
When Luo De touched the leaves of the sapling of the Tree of Life while meditating, the two would merge.
This meant that Luo De could focus on the magic energy network while guiding those starlights to form star rings.
And the flame energy could also be guided and injected into the magic energy network.
They turned into light rain, nourishing these glowing saplings on the ground.
At the same time, the connection of the magic energy network allowed Luo De’s Seed of Nature energy to be absorbed, fully integrating with the meditation state.
This greatly boosted Luo De’s meditation efficiency, making the formation of star rings much easier.
During meditation, there was virtually no sense of fatigue, and it could continue indefinitely.
It felt like gaining experience from killing monsters in a past life game.
As long as you killed monsters, there were rewards.
Of course, this was because Luo De’s spiritual power, in a state connected to the sapling of the Tree of Life, far exceeded his own Wizard level.
Thus, everything seemed effortless.
When Luo De ended his meditation, the sky was dim.
The war continued, and the soldiers were still fighting hard.
But with the sun setting, Luo De knew this war could not continue any longer.
The night posed no obstacles for the undead.
But for humans, visibility became a major issue.
The soldiers also needed to eat to replenish their strength.
Luo De turned to Gala and asked, "Have the barrels of tar and skyfire been sent over?"
