Capítulo 1191: Chapter 1191: Formidable Heavy Cavalry

It isn’t very difficult to gather some intelligence about the surroundings, after all, the territories are adjacent.

Although some core secrets are inaccessible, surface-level information is still quite easy to obtain.

“Our next target, I’ve chosen this place. The god here is the Black Iron God, reportedly due to the territory having a large amount of iron ore, making it crucial for our development.”

“But if it’s such an important place, why don’t other gods covet it?”

Someone raised an objection, as iron ore is essential to everyone.

Yet the occupying god is merely at Lower God Level, with other Middle-Level gods nearby. Moreover, this one isn’t openly a subordinate of other gods around.

“Perhaps it’s a cooperative relationship; no single one can take it over.”

There are several Middle-Level gods nearby, not just one. If someone makes a move, it’s believed the other surrounding gods wouldn’t sit idly by. That could lead to chaos.

And the neutral Black Iron God, as long as they join any, they would be gladly accepted.

After all, what they need is iron ore, not anything else; having another such subordinate as a barrier wouldn’t be bad either.

“In that case, if we act, would it provoke attacks from those around us?”

Jera was somewhat helpless: “Now we have no choice but to expand, otherwise I can’t break through in strength. As long as I can’t break through, we remain at a disadvantage against these people.”

He has now completely controlled the Chaotic Land, yet his strength still has a certain distance from Middle-Level God.

If he can’t continue to expand, then even with the White Lotus God supporting him from behind, he couldn’t sustain such a vast area. Those Middle-Level gods probably also don’t want to see a powerful presence rising nearby.

They don’t have much time, if they give those people time to prepare, it would be troublesome to try to expand outward then.

“I suggest we test the waters first, since we are not very familiar with their strength.”

Jera thought for a moment and then nodded, saying: “Alright, just as we still need some time internally to complete the integration, let’s probe first. If their strength isn’t strong, then seize it immediately.”

The implication being, if the opponent’s strength is strong, then other methods must be thought of.

Under this mindset, undead armies began to secretly gather at the border area.

These undead armies were large in number, yet had no command, only a few thinking undead controlling within them. However, with disguises, no one could see any difference from other undead.

“Let’s act, even if issues arise, we can claim it was an uncontrolled spontaneous action by the undead.”

“But what if the other side doesn’t believe us?”

“It doesn’t matter if they believe or not, after all, their army strength isn’t weak. Even if they don’t believe, they have to, otherwise what? Really fight us? Then their losses would be substantial.”

Upon thinking about it, everyone agreed, so several undead controlled the army to start attacking forward.

The opposite side had defenses due to constantly guarding against the chaotic region. Around, one fort after another formed a complete line of defense, securely protecting this area.

Although there was no city wall, in reality, this defense measure was even better than city walls.

The key is, when city walls are breached, there’s no place to retreat, but here is different, with a very long strategic depth. If it were a regular army, they could even outlast the enemy.

But they are different—they’re undead—the fortress’s attacks are mostly long-range, too ineffective against the undead.

Indeed, upon seeing the undead, fortress personnel began retreating immediately.

“Isn’t this very easy? Seems like their strength isn’t very strong, let’s take it down quickly, then as long as we can hold on for a period it would be enough. If their god isn’t strong enough, we can even eliminate them directly.”

They didn’t consider their own safety, or rather, since turning undead, they lost this concept.

It seemed like life wasn’t as important as perceived, at least not as crucial as originally imagined.

As long as they could work for the Divine Sect and the gods, even if they directly perished, they would do so willingly.

But before they advanced much, the ground began to shake. In front, a group of cavalry appeared.

“It’s cavalry, where’s our cavalry?” Following a commander’s command, undead cavalry also appeared on the battlefield. The two cavalry units charged towards each other without hesitation.

Only the results surprised the undead; their cavalry was no match at all.

During the collision, their soldiers were thrown out like bowling pins.

The lucky ones were thrown far and survived, the unlucky ones turned into fragments, even trampled over and couldn’t stand up. Under such circumstances, how could they survive?

“No, it’s not regular cavalry, this is heavy cavalry, real heavy cavalry.”

Finally, someone identified the issue; the opposing cavalry was fully armored, tightly wrapped.

The heavy armor left no gaps visible, and this world’s horses could bear such heavy armor. Furthermore, the runes on the armor informed them these armors had spell enhancements.

As a result, dozens of undead cavalry died upfront, yet couldn’t take down even one person.

The reason for victory was mostly due to exhausting the spell on the armor, then massive attacks causing those inside to die from the shock. Because their weapons couldn’t breach the armor.

Soon the undead cavalry was crushed, and the rear undead army was even less able to resist.

“Retreat, there’s no way to advance further.”

Several undead commanders, after simplifying orders, immediately dispersed the rear undead, also retreating amidst the chaos.

As for the front line, still maintaining a rigorous formation, aimed to test the opponent’s strength one last time. As expected, under the steel tide, the undead formation had no resistance.

Facing such an impact, their formations felt like tofu, with the opponent being the knife cutting it.

These undead being eradicated was merely a matter of time. Everyone accelerated, risking not being able to escape.
