Despite the speed of this cavalry brigade, it still encountered no less than ten small groups of undead attacks. This was because the team rarely stayed in one place for too long, and the scouts were looking for safe places to camp, so they could avoid such attacks.

A large number of undead attacks.

So after knowing that she had not been abandoned, Luo Mei kept holding on to Shan Ye's sleeves. Even when she was in a coma due to high fever, her hands never moved away.

Until I woke up, I happened to see Shan Ye still not resting.

All around were cavalrymen, pharmacists, and priests who were huddled together and meditating to recover. Except for Shan Ye, only a few cavalrymen who were still patrolling and guarding could still stay awake.

Because there are so many people, the time spent as a guard is not very long because everyone needs to rest.

Originally, he planned to rest for half a day, but by the time the captain reluctantly opened his eyes and stood up extremely sleepy, it was almost afternoon.

There was no loud noise, and the team slowly woke up under the urging of the captain. Even after sleeping for several hours, the fatigue on everyone's body was only slightly relieved.

Looking at the captain with red eyes, everyone knew that it was time to fight hard.

The captain did not immediately start preparing for an attack or breakout, but the worry in his expression was unabashedly revealed: "Everyone knows that this mission is very difficult, so if you want to quit now, you still have time.

of."

The captain's voice was not loud, but it caused a lot of noise and discussion among more than 500 people. Even some of the cavalry below were a little shaken. Because after seeing the strength of these undead, everyone was basically certain in their hearts.

Well, this mission is almost a narrow escape.

But many cavalrymen who were familiar with the captain's temperament had a slight flicker of despair on their faces.

Because they are very familiar with the captain in front of them. The reason why he was sent to perform this mission is not because of how outstanding his ability is, but because of his execution ability, which is the best among all cavalry captains.

The strongest one is even a little sick.

That's why this almost fatal mission fell on him. As long as those nobles jointly guarantee that, regardless of whether those descendants are rescued or not, as long as the captain does his best, his family and descendants will receive the best.

education and the best living conditions.

So for the sake of his family, this captain is famous for being a desperate man.

And whenever a mission begins, the captain will make a routine inquiry similar to a pre-war declaration. Whenever he asks such an inquiry, it is basically certain that this mission must be completed.

.

Just when despair appeared in everyone's eyes and they were about to fight to the death, several dazed pharmacists suddenly exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention: "Look, there seem to be a lot less intermediate undead in the periphery!"

The captain and the others quickly followed the man's gaze, and a bit of surprise and horror suddenly flashed through their hearts. The number of undead was actually a little thinner, and it was very obvious that it was a little thinner. Everyone was a little bit worried about this good news that fell from the sky.

I am confused. According to the rules of the undead, they will not withdraw their troops easily unless they eliminate the target.

"What's going on?" Looking at the far fewer undead, the captain's eyes were slightly stern, and he thought of the empty villages that had appeared on his recent journey.

"Could they be the same organization?" Looking at the mouth of the canyon surrounded by the undead, the captain murmured in his heart.

In such a ghost place, not even an army of the Orc Empire can be seen. Because at this time, almost all the armies of the Orc Empire, and even all the people who can move, are guarding the giant wall. They also know that even the half-demon

Humans have captured the orc empire. For the half-demon, the benefits are not huge, but this is their homeland after all. How can the orcs not be angry when they are so ravaged by humans?

If it weren't for their lack of strength, they would definitely take revenge on the half-demon crazily.

But a large natural disaster of undead suddenly appeared on the other side of the giant wall, so someone must defend and eliminate those undead to ensure the safety of the orc empire.

So at this time, the territory of the Orc Empire was very empty.

The reinforcements of the large army are still on the way. Even if the cavalry comes first, it is impossible to participate in such a small battle. The most important thing is that the appearance of a large number of cavalry will definitely attract the attention of the surrounding undead, and may even attract more

Lots of undead attacks.

Because Shanye's team has a limited number and is very mobile, it has narrowly avoided large undead areas several times. If the number exceeds a thousand, it will not be easy to get rid of the entanglement of the large undead.

.

Therefore, the dispatch of five hundred cavalry was a number that had been urgently negotiated by the headquarters.

It would be best if they could complete the mission. If they failed, then they would have to use more cavalry regiments. But such a loss would definitely be unbearable by several marquis and dukes. It depends on whether they are still willing to save them.

There are only two of these descendants.

Because they are all dukes and marquises, they must have many heirs. Even if one or two die, it is no big deal. At worst, they can just continue to live.

Therefore, when rescuing these second-generation officials becomes a huge expense, this rescue operation will most likely be stopped.

But just like the degree of danger, once the rescue is successful, the captain will face, or even jump directly to become a real noble.

Therefore, this temptation is very big for the captain, because according to the normal way, if you want to obtain this hereditary noble title, you must obtain at least a large amount of military industry, and you also need the joint recommendation of at least three nobles.

Success can only be achieved after deliberation and determination by the parliament, which is very difficult.

If something goes wrong in some link, everything will have to start again, so becoming a noble is really not a simple matter.

"We're lucky, we have hope of breaking in!" The gloom on the captain's face gradually faded away, and his voice became a little more excited and eager to try. Although there was only hope of breaking in, it was already too good for the almost certain death outcome just now.

Much more.

The priests and pharmacists only brought more than half of them with them, and the remaining half were waiting in place to continue building fortifications. If they could successfully break out, this would be the last fortress to rest temporarily and block the undead army.

Of course, it is not really holding this to stop the undead army, but it is a temporary stop. The reason why some spare people are left is because among the people who can escape by then, it is basically unlikely that there will be pharmacists and priests.

.

Upon hearing this order, all the priests and pharmacists went crazy!

"How could this be? We entered the undead army and fought to the death, but they hid behind and built a house?!" A priest who had long been dissatisfied with the army's control and orders stood up and shouted angrily.

Several pharmacists who may be with the army also stood behind the priest, looking at the captain standing on the stage with resentment.

"Follow the army now, you may die. If you refuse the military order, you will definitely die!" At this time, the captain stopped talking about useless nonsense and directly showed his fangs and steel knife, which immediately made these people who are usually pampered

The priests and pharmacists have completely understood that this is the time for me to be the fish and meat, and he to be the knife.

Under the bright steel sword, everyone wisely kept their senses, because if you resist now, you will definitely die. If you follow the charge, there may be hope of survival.

"Okay, let's start drawing lots now. Everyone, hurry up. If the undead are allowed to regroup, things will be even more troublesome." The result of the draw was very unexpected. Shan Ye actually stayed, but Luo Mei was unfortunately killed.

I won the lottery and went to charge into the battle.

Luo Mei was dumbfounded. She really didn't expect that her luck had always been good. She didn't expect that at the last moment, she would usher in such an ending.

It is conceivable that a pharmacist without any ability to protect himself would be even less safe than a priest.

Because the number of priests is scarce, the cavalry will deliberately protect the priests even when charging into the formation, but it can only be done deliberately. In this kind of almost certain death, the cavalry can be attacked by the cavalry.

Even a little protection is already very difficult.

Therefore, those pharmacists who are basically just backup tires are completely cannon fodder. Others rely on strength and light magic to rush into the battle, while pharmacists can only rely on the rare magic scrolls and light potions in their hands.

But no one knows how many undead are blocking the mouth of the canyon, and whether there will be some insurmountable obstacles, so this time it all depends on luck.

The cavalry cannot investigate. Once the investigation is carried out, it will cause the undead to pursue them, which will be even more troublesome.

Some people also proposed a good suggestion to temporarily lure away this undead spirit, but this idea was quickly rejected.

Because this is already the hinterland of the Orc Empire, there are already a lot of undead in large groups around here, and it is basically impossible to run too far before encountering another undead army.

Because the distance is too close, if you rush to lure these undead away, it may have the opposite effect.

At the same time, there are basically some low-level and mid-level undead around. Once the attention of the surrounding undead is attracted, because there are many high-level undead here, it is very likely that the promising formation will be completely destroyed.

Because the undead have a characteristic, they like to gather around higher-level undead. This instinctive reaction, if someone tries to lure these high-level undead away, it is likely to attract more undead.

If we miss this good opportunity and take the risk to lure away the undead, we may not even have a chance. So after careful consideration, the captain decided that it would be safer to start rushing into the battle now.
