Chapter 283: 168: Suo Lun Miracle! Undead Legion!_2

Ou Wuyang shouted loudly, "All bowmen, if you approach Huangquan Ancient City, you will get two more Gold Coins."

With substantial rewards, there will be brave men.

Immediately, the first column of the army began to advance, slowly closing in on Huangquan Ancient City.

Then, more and more approaching troops surged in, and although the tens of thousands of troops behind were not bowmen, they also advanced in an orderly manner.

As the tens of thousands of troops gradually pressed forward, they resembled a ferocious beast.

Suo Lun and Yan Yan exchanged glances, knowing that once the enemy’s bowmen approached the city walls and fired their arrows, there would not be a single safe corner left in Huangquan Ancient City.

In such dense arrows, there were bound to be massive casualties.

Furthermore, the moon could reappear at any time now, and that dreadful Netherworld Lake could turn into a terrifying demon light at any moment, killing everyone inside Huangquan Ancient City.

Yan Yan glanced at Suo Lun and said, "Go wake Nai’er, the two of you must break through."

Suo Lun asked, "And what about you and the Silver Wolf Legion?"

Yan Yan replied, "We’ll fight to the death, kill one to break even, kill two to profit."

These words had previously been spoken by Gu Yin, but now Yan Yan repeated them.

Having said that, Yan Yan promptly returned to the middle of Huangquan Ancient City and began to gather the surviving members of the Silver Wolf Legion, ready to engage in a final showdown with the tens of thousands-strong army.

At that moment, there truly was no retreat.

Yan Yan returned to the military ground and ordered, "Pick up your weapons, fall in, charge out."

Instantly, a few hundred remaining Silver Wolf Samurai rose neatly, drew their greatswords, and under Yan Yan’s lead, stepped out in coordinated strides towards the outside of the city.

Not a single person roared, no slogans were shouted.

However, the gaze of everyone was filled with the will to die.

...

At that point, as the wood had burned out, most of the great fire had died down, and only half of the city gate remained, the walls had also partially collapsed.

Suo Lun stood within the city gates, gazing out at the vast enemy forces.

Column upon column, an imposing dark mass was closing in.

The tens of thousands of the Tianye City Allied Forces, like a tide, seemed as if they were about to swallow Huangquan Ancient City whole.

In contrast, the few hundred Silver Wolf Samurai led by Yan Yan were a mere handful.

A few hundred against tens of thousands.

One side was without water and food, battered and bruised; the other side was rested and ready, strong and formidable.

Such face-to-face combat wouldn’t have any suspense, even if it were the world’s most elite mercenaries.

Moreover, there were at least several thousand archers among the enemy forces. Just a few volleys would be enough to completely annihilate the less than a thousand Silver Wolf Samurai.

Indeed, Yan Nai’er could take Suo Lun and break out of the encirclement to escape, and with Nai’er’s martial prowess, this wouldn’t be difficult.

But Yan Nai’er would certainly not want to abandon the Silver Wolf Legion and escape alone. Moreover, once the Silver Wolf Legion was completely destroyed, Suo Lun’s mission would have been in vain.

If Yan Yan, who had just been revived, were to die in battle amidst thousands of troops, what meaning would there be in it all?

But how to save the Silver Wolf Legion now?

Both armies were like an arrow drawn on the bowstring, ready to be released.

The time left for Suo Lun was less than a quarter of an hour.

Suo Lun knew that because Ji Gang and Turing Duo had fallen, the morale of the Allied Army was also very low. A slightly powerful impact would scatter them.

However, in the eyes of the enemy, the Silver Wolf Legion was already a dead tiger and didn’t even need to engage in close combat; a few volleys would suffice to cleanly slaughter them.

Soon, the two armies began to face each other.

Although there were only a few hundred Silver Wolf Samurai, battered and bruised, their movements were as synchronized as a single person. Facing tens of thousands of troops, they still resolutely pushed forward.

The distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters and was quickly closing in.

"Stop!" Ou Wuyang commanded.

The ranks of the enemy forces to the south came to a halt.

"Ready."

Several thousand archers in this formation all notched their bows, angling their arrows towards the sky, ready to rain down on the Silver Wolf Legion as soon as it was within shooting range.

"Shields up!" Yan Yan commanded.

Instantly, around a hundred shields were lifted neatly, and then they continued to advance, without slowing down or hurrying.

At the same time, the surrounding Tianye City Allied Forces gradually converged.

The Silver Wolf Legion’s shields were far from sufficient; they couldn’t block the hail of arrows. The battle was so imbalanced that their demise was inevitable.

We must prevent the annihilation of the Silver Wolf Legion; otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted.

But how? How could this be done?

Suddenly, an image flashed across Suo Lun’s mind.

Just a few hours ago, when he took out the Dragon Flame Seal, not only did the terrifying undead inside Yan Yan’s body fly out, dozens, even hundreds of ghostly undead souls within the hall also flew out, rushing towards the Dragon Flame Seal like moths to a flame.

It was as if the Dragon Flame had an irresistible lure for the undead.

Even though the holy light from the Dragon Flame would obliterate all the undead, they still, like the moths, were most attracted to the flame they adored.

This Huangquan Ancient City had been a city of death for a century; it was unknown how many people had perished within. At the very least, there must have been tens of thousands, and these people had died suddenly and violently, unable to find peace and thus turning into terrifying ghosts and undead spirits.

In other places, the undead would automatically disintegrate into ash and smoke, but Huangquan Ancient City was a place of extreme Yin. How many undead could be hiding underground?

So, if the Dragon Flame Seal was brandished at this moment, how many undead could it attract?

A few thousand, or tens of thousands?

Should an innumerable army of the undead appear, everyone would probably be scared out of their wits, fleeing in terror.

However, attracting an army of the undead would be incredibly dangerous for Suo Lun.

Last time in Bloody Shore Lost City, he had been attacked by countless undead, his body shrouded in the aura of death. If it weren’t for Yao Xing, he would have died a thousand times over. And even with Yao Xing, he nearly perished, saved only by Jiang Xue’s intervention.

But now, Suo Lun had no other option; he couldn’t just watch the Silver Wolf Legion face destruction.

With a fierce bite of his teeth, Suo Lun pulled out the box, slightly opened it, and the Dragon Mark relic inside released a golden halo of holy light.

This holy light, indeed, proved to be a deadly temptation for the undead.

Suo Lun could clearly feel the ground trembling underneath. Then, the earth tore open to reveal a fissure.

One undead ghost appeared, followed by a second, a third, a fourth...

Everyone witnessed a chilling scene that could never be erased from their minds for as long as they lived.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands of undead crawled out of the ground.

Once they emerged, the undead stood shakily, appearing bewildered.

Then, their hollow eyes simultaneously focused on Suo Lun.

Next, countless undead, like a tide, converged towards Suo Lun in a frenzied rush.

Instantly, the temperature in the air plummeted by dozens of degrees.

The whole night sky echoed with ghostly wails and howls.

Witnessing this spectacle, everyone was utterly stunned, never having seen anything like it, not even in their deepest nightmares.

Suo Lun suddenly roared, "All units of the Undead Legion, heed my command: devour all enemies ahead and drag them into hell!"

Then, he started to sprint furiously.

The countless undead behind him raced after him madly.

It looked as if thousands of the undead army were following Suo Lun’s command, charging towards the Tianye City Allied Forces.

In that moment, not only the ordinary soldiers but even Ou Wuyang was completely astonished.

Suo Lun actually had the power to command the vast army of the undead? Such an ability was utterly unfathomable and astonishing!

The soldiers upfront were initially frozen in shock, unable to move, some even so frightened that they wet themselves.

It was too terrifying!

"Run..."

Then, someone came to their senses first, dropping their weapons and bolting.

"Dad, Mom..."

"Hurry, run... hurry, run..."

The entire camp of the Allied Army was completely terrified by these thousands of undead. They disregarded orders and ran for their lives, lamenting not having more legs bestowed upon them by their parents.

They were just mercenaries and roaming Samurai fighting for Gold Coins.

The thought it was just fighting against the Silver Wolf Legion akin to killing a tiger, but they never expected Suo Lun to defy the heavens and summon an innumerable army of the undead.

How could humans fight against the undead?

In an instant, tens of thousands from the Allied Army scattered like an avalanche, fleeing in a panic, fearing being caught by the pursuing undead.
