Full-Scale Offensive

From atop the cliff, the Alchemist watched everything clearly. At this point, it could be said that the direction of events was proceeding according to his plan.

Even though Adolf was powerful, the zombies had already spread throughout the city. Ordinary people hiding in their homes, upon seeing these zombies, felt an endless stream of fear and power surge towards him.

And the Headless Knight had also completed its mission. What he needed now was to use its monstrous recovery ability to tie down Adolf.

Only within Huidun Academy, for some unknown reason, none of the instructors had gone to the city walls to fight.

Furthermore, whenever he tried to investigate, an invisible barrier would block his line of sight.

The Alchemist's narrow eyes darted around, then he looked at the Magic Crystal in his hand, which was rapidly filling with strands of emotion.

The Alchemist extended his withered old hand, brought his two long, strange fingernails together, and pinched. Coles's most abundant strand of emotional power was severed.

The severed strand began to coil around his fingernails, and soon a ball of angry, violent emotional strands appeared in his hand.

The Alchemist turned and waved to the carriage behind him. A swarm of bottles and jars flew out from the carriage.

Then, the Alchemist began to tinker in front of these bottles and jars.

Meanwhile, on the city walls, Jamir once again used Holy Light Illumination to eliminate a large number of undead.

At this point, he also felt something strange. The defenders on the city walls and the undead army outside seemed to be playing a turn-based game, with both sides showing restraint.

However, if the defenders' restraint was to prepare for the undead army's full assault, then the restraint shown by the undead outside was truly bizarre.

With such numbers of undead, and with their souls all bound to the Undead Knight, they should have charged forward without hesitation.

Undead creatures were naturally hostile to living beings; they should have charged forward without reservation upon encountering them.

If that happened, even though he was a Bishop with Platinum strength, he would be like a drop in the ocean on a battlefield of this scale.

Before Jamir could figure it out, the next undead turn began.

Most of the military supplies in the Hui Dun territory were stored in Como's barracks. After several rounds of attacks, the city's arrows capable of damaging the undead were running low.

Most of the mages had also been dispatched to support the other two fronts. Now, on the main front, only the scattered magical bombardments from a small number of mages served as ranged attacks.

Torey and the Knight of Light Commander approached Jamir. Both of them were Gold-ranked warriors and had naturally noticed the strangeness of the situation.

At the same time, they knew that if this continued, the defenders would lose their courage, and the mages would lose their magic, leaving them as mere lambs to the slaughter.

They wanted to join forces to break out, and with Jamir's magical support, it might still be possible to cut through the undead legion and reach the Undead Knight to kill it.

Jamir looked at the mages beside him, who were already sweating profusely, and the soldiers with trembling hands.

Although he didn't understand military strategy, seeing the situation and the joint request from these two, he nodded in agreement.

Looking at the incoming bone arrows, Jamir did not use Holy Light Illumination, which was both economical and highly damaging to the undead, this time.

Jamir extended his hand and chanted a complex, ancient spell. The next moment, he was seen sweeping his hand across the sky, and the vast bone arrows were all wiped away like chalk marks on a blackboard.

Then, in the next moment, Jamir immediately began chanting towards the Undead Knight, who was trying to retreat:

"The God of Light grants me the power of light, Xilukastou—Holy Light Cage."

As the incantation was uttered, immense magical energy surged from Jamir's body, and a massive Magic Markings was outlined above the Undead Knight in the distance.

The next moment, the undead horse ridden by the Undead Knight, with the horse as the center and a radius of five meters, suddenly erupted with rows of Magic Runes on the ground. Then, Holy Light filled the area, forming a circular Holy Light Cage.

The Undead Knight, attempting to escape on its undead horse, felt a burning sensation in its soul upon touching the cage, causing it to recoil in pain.

From the demonic energy surrounding the area, cries of agony also erupted. The demonic energy, which was unnaturally dense, was rapidly diminishing at this moment.

Before it could swing its axe to smash the cage, Torey and Sgert had already charged forward.

Both of them wielded Magic Markings greatswords, their battle qi fused with them, becoming one. Majestic battle qi erupted from their blades. Undead Skeletons that got close were sliced by the battle qi, and their souls were instantly annihilated.

The life force of the Gold-ranked warriors directly dispelled the chilling aura around the Undead Knight.

The two of them charged to the front of the Undead Knight. Without a word, they unleashed their strongest battle qi from both sides and attacked the Undead Knight.

The Undead Knight, however, was not afraid. Holding its great axe and riding the undead horse, the demonic energy within its body surged and connected with the great axe in its hand, directly attacking Torey, who had lost an arm.

Seeing that the Undead Knight was also bullying the weak and attacking him, Torey didn't hesitate. He stimulated the blood qi within his body, and the blood-red battle qi on his body became even more concentrated.

Sword and axe collided. Torey's blood-red battle qi clashed with the Undead Knight's dark demonic energy. Instantly, the wind and clouds churned. The battle qi and energy waves generated by their clash caused the Holy Light Cage to ring like a large bell.

The sonic waves that emanated outwards, like surging tides, shattered all the Undead Skeletons that were trying to surround them.

At this moment, the Knight of Light, carrying his pure white light battle qi, slashed towards the Undead Knight's back.

The Undead Knight was quite formidable. As the Knight of Light attacked, it directly pulled at its body beneath its armor.

A long whip made of countless vengeful souls appeared in its hand, and as if it had eyes, it whipped towards the Knight of Light behind it.

The whip entangled the greatsword that the Knight of Light had swung down. The Undead Knight, by itself, held its ground against two Gold-ranked warriors.

However, this stalemate was exactly what Torey and the other wanted. Because they knew that although the Undead Knight's strength was at most Gold-ranked, it was connected to all the Undead Skeletons here. Therefore, it could borrow the power of these Undead Skeletons to forcibly boost its own strength.

This was also why Jamir could not directly kill it.

Now that it was tying them down, wasn't it also being tied down by them? Seeing this, Jamir on the city walls knew that the opportunity had arrived. He quickly chanted a spell, and the next moment, he shouted:

"Ruyi Kasha Confinement—Sacred Radiance Purification."

A ball of light like the sun appeared within the cage. Its appearance warmed Torey and the other two like the sun, and the fatigue they felt from fighting was rapidly recovering.

This was extreme torment for the Undead Knight.

Its soul, enveloped in dark power, was being forcibly extinguished bit by bit under the light of Sacred Radiance Purification, a method that was also the most effective and reliable way to kill undead creatures like them.

Watching the dark power on the Undead Knight's body being worn away, Torey and the other man revealed excited smiles.

Meanwhile, atop the cliff, the Alchemist suddenly sensed something. He looked at the blood-red pill in his hand and knew it was time for his next step.

The very next moment, before Torey and his companion could revel in their excitement for long, the undead army outside the city launched a full-scale assault.

Tens of thousands of Undead Skeletons surged towards the city walls like a black tide. The Holy Light Cage, standing in the path of the undead army's advance, was gradually being eroded by the onslaught of the Undead Skeletons.

The soul power from the fallen Undead Skeletons returned to the Undead Knight, who was on the verge of death, and its aura slowly recovered.

Jamir, who had been maintaining the purification, saw the undead army attacking the city and knew that the tide had turned against them.

Torey and his companion were now extremely enraged. Since they could no longer kill the Undead Knight, the two of them directly charged into the undead army.

Two Gold-ranked warriors were like brave generals charging fearlessly on the battlefield. Around them, a vacuum zone was created by the slaughter inflicted by the duo.
