Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 655

Chapter 655: The Battle under the Moonlight

When they arrived at the ambush location, Bunduk took the soldier behind him off his horse with one hand.

He said to him, “Take your weapons and get ready for battle.”

Then, he turned around and chased after the undead in front of him.

Just as the seven or eight undead warriors were about to pounce on them, the hidden army formation came out and surrounded them.

There were also a few Rhodok sergeants who immediately stood behind the high wall of shields. They were holding a few long lances in their hands.

“Second level formation!” Bunduk ordered loudly.

The soldiers who were originally in a square formation had now shrunk the distance between them and the undead warriors.

The two layers of shields surrounded the group of undead warriors tightly.

The narrow space seemed to make the spirits of the undead even more excited. They roared and used their bodies to hit the shields of the Swadian soldiers.

The Swadian soldiers gradually became more and more exhausted as they endured the violent impact.

On the other hand, the spirits of the undead became more and more excited, and the strength of the impact also increased.

“We can’t relax! This is our only chance to win,” Bunduk encouraged.

Based on his previous experience of defeating the undead warriors in the Elf Kingdom, this method was currently the only feasible one.

All the soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and they braced themselves. They mobilized all the strength in their bodies to block wave after wave of attacks.

When the undead warriors were a little weak, Bunduk commanded the Rhodok sergeants to throw and attack.

The lances brushed past the undead warriors and pierced the ground.

When Bunduk saw that the first wave of attacks had failed, his face couldn’t help but darken. Compared to half a year ago, this group of undead warriors was much more cunning and agile.

Including all of Rhodok sergeants, they also felt the difference and couldn’t help but become nervous.

They focused their minds in one place, hoping to shoot down one of the enemies.

After a while, when they saw all the undead warriors gathered in one place. Bunduk ordered loudly, “Attack!”

Rhodok sergeants threw out the long lances in their hands in unison. The undead warriors in the formation could not dodge in time and used their muscular hands to protect their heads.

However, they still underestimated the power of Rhodok sergeants. The long lances pierced through their arms and their skulls.

The injured undead let out a pained cry and then fell to the ground.

“Hah!” The Swadian soldiers in charge of defense cheered happily.

Seeing the light of victory, everyone could not help but feel refreshed.

Bunduk also praised happily, “Well done!”

After this wave of attacks, only four undead warriors were left. Looking at the corpses of their companions, they stopped moving and gathered together.

Bunduk saw their movements and cursed in his heart.

The four undead warriors were leaning against each other’s backs. They were moving slowly on the battlefield.

“Attack!” Bunduk ordered, a trace of unease appearing in his heart.

Rhodok sergeants obediently threw out the long lances in their hands.

However, this sharp weapon that tore through the air with a whistling sound was just as Bunduk had expected, all of them were caught by the undead warriors.

Seeing that the horizon had already turned white, a faint sense of despair surfaced in Bunduk’s heart.

“Maintain your distance, square formation!” Bunduk shouted.

All of the Swadian soldiers immediately spread out and returned to their original square formation.

The undead warriors hugged tightly together and charged towards the southwest corner. Even though their shields were still solid and reliable, however, with the strength of just a few people, they were completely unable to defend themselves.

Everyone could only watch helplessly as the undead warriors broke through the encirclement and fled into the distance.

“Commander, we…” the Swadian Sergeant who was hit by the undead warriors immediately apologized to Bunduk.

“Stop talking. It’s normal that you can’t stop them. This group of undead warriors is no longer the same as before,” Bunduk waved his hand and interrupted them.

The dawn shone on Bunduk’s face, but his eyes were still gloomy.

The reinforcements from the main city had arrived at this time. It was said that Kant had sent them.

Bunduk commanded a large group to search near the border to confirm that the undead warriors had indeed escaped from Drondheim.

Some soldiers dug out a few missing workers’ bodies in the jujube forest.

Most of them were already incomplete.

Judging from the overall situation, this group of undead soldiers should have wandered from the battlefield to this place. They discovered that the workers who worked here liked to go to the jujube forest to pick fruits to quench their thirst. It was a good place for an ambush, so they had been lying in ambush here, living on human flesh.

Bunduk reported the results of this discussion and the process of the battle to Kant.

The two sat opposite each other in the hall.

They both felt a chill in their hearts.

The silent atmosphere lasted for a while.

Until Kant said, “I didn’t expect the undead’s consciousness to awaken to such an extent. It’s really creepy.”

At the moment, the military power Drondheim had could only confront the Undead Kingdom on a direct battlefield.

According to the right time and place, it was not certain who would win.

However, the undead now seemed to have evolved. Before, they only knew how to use knives and axes to slash and so on.

Although it was still in the initial stage of activating thinking, it was enough to make Drondheim raise his guard.

“I wonder how far the undead will expand in the Nahrin Desert,” Bunduk said worriedly.

“We can’t let them continue to grow,” Kant said calmly, but his eyes were incomparably sharp and determined.

“Lord, what do you mean?” Bunduk’s heart trembled, and he subconsciously asked.

Kant flicked his sleeves and stood up, looking down at him. “Drondheim can begin to prepare for the final battle with the Undead Kingdom.”

A few days passed.

The training ground had become what everyone called an Asura Field.

The case of the alkali soil workers had been concluded, which made the residents of the main city of Drondheim feel at ease. But recently, the news that Drondheim was going to conquer the Undead Kingdom came out from the army.

This news made the hearts of the people rise again, and they were divided into two factions because of different opinions.

One faction thought that they had helped the Elf Kingdom and defeated the Undead Kingdom. This time, they would easily win the battle.

The other side thought that they were trying to obtain freshwater resources in the Elf Kingdom. This time, they were sending troops to the land of the Undead Kingdom. For Drondheim, who was in the process of developing, the constant war would do more harm than good.

The argument reached Kant’s ears, but Kant remained indifferent.

In his opinion, this war was inevitable for Drondheim, who wanted to take root in the Nahrin desert.

Rather than waiting for the fully developed Undead Kingdom to come to him, it would be better to take the initiative to attack when they were weak.
