"Where are the Star-Chasing Knights?"
After rising, Yang Yi gave the command in a majestic voice.
"We are here!"
A cavalry unit of 120 riders climbed out of the Salt Staircase below, equipped with fine armor and heavy lances. They swung onto their horses and formed an orderly formation twelve columns wide.
These knights were much stronger than when he had first seen them, possibly because of Yang Yi's attributes and condition.
The horses alone stood over five meters tall. With the heavily armored knights, who were about three meters tall, they radiated a murderous air simply by standing there, and no one dared approach.
"Kill this sea monster."
Yang Yi spoke calmly, his voice carrying an unquestionable kingly authority.
"By your royal command!"
The 120 riders answered in unison and leaped straight off the Salt Staircase, their hooves treading on air as they slowly descended, diving toward Steam Island several hundred meters away.
Shells and missiles fired at them tried to stop them, but either passed through their bodies or exploded without causing any harm.
Purely physical attacks were almost completely ineffective against the Salt Knights.
As though riding down a sloping bridge, they moved in perfect formation, reaching Steam Island in less than ten seconds before launching a Charge upward.
Perhaps realizing that attacks such as shells were ineffective, some grotesque tentacles attacked them, but the Star-Chasing Knights ignored them and charged straight through.

There were no souls inside these cavalrymen made of salt. They were summons sustained by magic.
Mental attacks therefore
