Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 637
Chapter 637: Knights Who Were Utterly Defeated
There were so many cute children and so many lonely old people here. If Pam lost, this group of old people and children would bleed to death in the war, it would be terrifying.
Although he was used to seeing blood and death, he could not bear the death of weak people. Weak people could always arouse people’s sympathy.
“Knights, for the honor of our country, for the honor of Drondheim, we should be fearless of blood and we should charge forward!”
Even the Elf King was shocked by the powerful leadership of Pam. He heard Pam’s oath. He seemed to know why the elven colony could only be a colony, but Drondheim could gradually become a powerful city-state, what their colonies lacked was people like Pam.
Only such a powerful and fearless leader could lead the elves to reclaim their own land.
Pam led more than a thousand soldiers to fight against the ferocious undead soldiers at the vanguard. He was not afraid of being attacked by the undead behind him. He trusted every single one of Drondheim’s soldiers behind him, just like how they trusted him enough.
After all, trust was mutual!
Soon, they were intertwined with the undead soldiers. They were very powerful, but the undead soldiers were also very powerful. Because of the magnetic field, it seemed that the undead soldiers on this side were even more powerful than the undead soldiers they encountered the night before.
Pam soon realized this.
The situation was quite disadvantageous to him and this wasn’t a joke. As long as he did not handle it properly, the entire team would be defeated!
Finally, a knight fell. His horse did not defend him against the fatal blow of the undead soldiers. That machete was extremely sharp, even though it looked like a blunt weapon.
The knight was cut in half from head to toe. It was like a cabbage being cut in half by the undead soldiers. This could not help but make people suck in a breath of cold air. Shock and terror intertwined in their hearts.
This was such a terrifying attack. Don’t underestimate these undead soldiers.
Pam didn’t have the mood to mourn for the cavalry that he was proud of. He could only say this to himself in his heart.
He constantly reminded himself to be strong and tenacious. Only when he was strong could the entire team be like a shield, and only then could they discover the weakness of the undead soldiers.
Then, the second cavalry had fallen as well. Blood was still flowing from his mouth, and his eyes were wide open. Even before he died, he was very unwilling.
The third, the fourth, then ten, twenty of them. He looked at the knights who persisted one after another but were still defeated. They were his trusted subordinates.
Pam could not mourn for them. He did not even know their names. Where did they live? Did anyone need to be taken care of at home?
The war was cruel. Pam only hoped that the elves in the elven colony wouldn’t suffer such pain.
This was probably the biggest gain he had since joining this battle.
“Change the formation!”
Pam quickly came up with a strategy. The formation from the previous night was no longer enough to resist such a large and powerful undead soldier. This would only cause more knights to fall. In the end, he might really be the only one left.
He used an offensive triangular formation. The vanguard was set up with ten people. As soon as one of the ten people fell, the people behind would immediately replace them.
This was the same as the formation operated by the Jackalan city-state.
Sure enough, the new formation was a great success.
By reducing the number of attackers and increasing the number of defenders, they could effectively resist casualties.
There were also many talents in the elven colony. They were not only good at fireball spells, but also setting up traps.
Once the undead soldiers fell into a trap, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
After all, the undead soldiers’ jumping ability was very weak.
This was one of the pieces of information that Pam had obtained so far.
However, the undead soldiers that followed broke Pam’s understanding of them.
Those creatures with super-strong jumping abilities were charging towards them from afar.
Some of them could even jump onto a tree which was simply terrifying. Could it be that there were different types of undead soldiers?
Having this thought, Pam’s heart trembled.
When they were discussing the countermeasures, they completely ignored this possibility. They thought that the undead soldiers’ jumping ability was one of their fatal weaknesses. However, they did not expect that their only fatal weakness was now gone.
This was a huge blow to the knight corps, and it was also a huge error in Pam’s judgment!
“Retreat! Retreat!” Pam immediately gave the order. If they did not retreat now, their entire knight corps would be wiped out.
These undead soldiers who could jump were obviously much stronger than the previous batch of ordinary undead soldiers who only knew how to grab machetes and rampage.
Pam could smell a few dangerous smells on their bodies.
This kind of smell could even kill them.
The undead soldiers with the ability to jump slowly approached. The elves at the back were trying to hold them off so that the knight corps could retreat smoothly.
However, they had obviously forgotten about the mobility of these undead soldiers. Although the fireball spell could restrict their direction of movement, these undead soldiers seemed to have suddenly gained a level up in intelligence. They had learned to dodge!
A terrible misconception arose in Pam’s mind. He felt that he would lose miserably in this battle. That’s right, these undead soldiers were ridiculously strong, not to mention their extremely strong jumping abilities.
Looking at the knights in front of him one after another collapsing like a mountain, Pam’s heart was covered with a layer of huge black fog.
A mistake in judgment!
He blamed himself countless times in his heart. He should have noticed the abnormal behavior of these undead soldiers a long time ago, but he was still confident. Although he had always reminded himself not to be proud, he was actually already proud, so he lost his ability to observe. Although he had evolved into a Holy Knight, he still lost.
Another knight that he recognized fell in front of him. He had a mother who was close to 100 years old in the family. His mother had been a widow all her life. This child was picked up by her at the beach, so his name was Sea.
However, he was dead. He lay in front of Pam in a terrible state. However, Pam could do nothing about it because he found himself in deep danger. Hundreds of undead soldiers had blocked his way, although the lance in his hand could fight against hundreds of undead soldiers, he panicked in the face of such dangerous undead soldiers.
Although he kept reminding himself to be calm, the death of his companions was a huge blow to him.
Seeing that half of his army had been destroyed by the jumping undead soldiers yet he couldn’t defend them at all. A Swadian Sergeant next to him took a stab for him and he died.
The fortress in Pam’s heart also collapsed, and the faith in his heart was even shaken.
It seemed that this time, the elven colony could not be preserved. He had let down the countless people who had faith in him…
