Hearing the continuous screams from the front, Koma immediately guessed that the scout team might have encountered Hornos's remaining soldiers.
So he immediately called the Frey Family soldiers behind him to run forward.
But the situation that followed made Koma extremely annoyed.
This Plant Labyrinth was full of disgusting traps like hidden crossbows and ground spikes, and coupled with Hornos ordering his soldiers to hide in various ambush points to launch sneak attacks.
This caused the long line of the Frey Family's army to be unable to support each other, with constant commotion breaking out.
If it were a frontal battle, facing Koma's troops, who had more soldiers, higher morale, and the assistance of the mysterious gray-robed man, Hornos's troops would definitely have no chance of winning.
But now, utilizing the Plant Labyrinth, Koma's soldiers were constantly decreasing due to various situations.
"Hey, Grave Robber, it's your turn to perform!"
After being attacked again by a Volantis soldier who appeared out of nowhere, Koma, unable to stand it any longer, walked over to the mysterious gray-robed man and whispered to him.
The mysterious gray-robed man looked up when he heard this, revealing a handsome face with very pale skin.
He opened his mouth and replied, "I'm not called 'Hey', and I'm certainly not a Grave Robber.
My name is Raja, and I am a noble Necromancer!"
"Hmm, I don't care what your name is!
Right now, I just want to know where that group of rats hiding around here are.
And you need to understand the current situation; your life is in my hands.
Be obedient, and you will have a chance to regain your freedom!"
Koma didn't care at all what the gray-robed man was called, he just got straight to the point.
"Tch, what are you, daring to speak to me like that?
Do you think you can control me with handcuffs and leg irons?
Believe it or not, I'll turn you and these soldiers into a pile of soulless walking corpses right now!"
Raja, who claimed to be a Necromancer, saw Koma being so impolite and immediately roared with anger.
"I believe it, after all, the soldiers who found your head and body are still drooling like idiots.
But you seem to have forgotten, it's not the handcuffs and leg irons that are controlling you right now, but him and her!"
Koma didn't care about Raja's threat at all, he calmly replied while pointing at Arrax in the sky and the main formation of his army behind him.
"Damn Dragon, damn Cloudsky mage!
If I had known I would encounter such a perverted Cloudsky mage, I shouldn't have left Asshai before!"
Koma's words immediately deflated Raja like a punctured balloon.
Although he was a Necromancer who played with souls and bodies, he valued his own life even more.
After all, most extraordinary individuals who choose to become Necromancers yearn to reach the pinnacle of Necromancy and become eternal, undead beings.
Raja stopped arguing with Koma and walked away grumbling towards a pile of Frey soldiers' bodies who had died from enemy sneak attacks.
Koma followed closely behind him, and according to Lady Ela's instructions, he had his personal guards turn their backs to them and block the surrounding view.
As Koma watched, Raja knelt before a complete Frey soldier's body and took out a light blue gem the size of a thumb from his Pregnant.
Then, unknown languages that Koma couldn't understand sounded from Raja's mouth, and the iridescence of the light blue gem in his hand gradually deepened.
Suddenly, the Frey soldier's body in front of Raja directly opened its eyes.
Its originally ashen eyes were quickly filled with deep blue, as if the Night King was awakening the dead.
Hiss!
Koma, who had never seen Necromancy before, felt a chill run from his tailbone straight to the top of his head when he saw this seemingly resurrected body.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but Koma even felt as if the surrounding air had dropped by several degrees.
"Tell me, where did the people who killed you go?"
Seeing that his Necromancy had been successfully cast, Raja nodded with satisfaction and then asked the blue-eyed corpse.
Crack, crack!
The resurrected blue-eyed corpse's right hand made a series of crisp joint-breaking sounds, and then its right hand pointed straight towards a dead end behind it in a very strange posture.
"Thank you, rest in peace forever!"
After getting the answer, Raja thanked the corpse, and then the deep blue light in his hand suddenly converged sharply, and the light dissipated.
It could be seen that this deep blue gem was significantly smaller than before, now only about the size of an index finger.
Treasure!
Koma looked at the light blue gem in Raja's fingers and felt a bit envious.
Needless to say, that light blue gem played a crucial role in the effectiveness of the Necromancy.
"What are you looking at? If I give it to you, will you know how to use it?
Damn it, speaking of which, it makes me angry!
I worked so hard to accumulate so many soul stones, but that damned Cloudsky mage confiscated them all."
Koma lost interest immediately upon hearing the name 'soul stone'.
He turned directly to the personal guards behind him, who had their backs to him, and ordered loudly: "Someone, there's a problem in that area, go and check it carefully!"
With a clear target, these personal guards immediately led a large number of Frey Family soldiers to this dead end.
After a careful investigation, they all worked together to move the patch of nightwood aside.
"Retreat quickly!"
When the nightwood was lifted by the enemy soldiers, the Volantis soldiers who had been hiding behind immediately turned and fled, shouting loudly.
So when the Frey soldiers poured into this passage, they could only see the backs of the Volantis soldiers in front.
"Bite down on them tightly for me, and following them will lead us out of this damned Plant Labyrinth!"
Koma clearly saw the backs of the enemy as well, and he excitedly shouted loudly at the personal guards and family soldiers in front.
Then the soldiers of both sides began to flee and pursue, as if playing a great escape game in the Plant Labyrinth.
With these fleeing Volantis soldiers leading the way, Koma and his party easily passed through the layers of the Plant Labyrinth.
Upon receiving reports from all sides, Hornos immediately felt that something was seriously wrong. He had originally thought that relying on this Plant Labyrinth would, if not directly defeat the enemy, at least delay them for half a day.
But now, after only a short while, the other side had already headed straight towards their gathering point in the Plant Labyrinth.
However, it was also fortunate that Hornos had already sent messengers to the inner city of Volantis.
Presumably, the other Triarch, Zusana, had already organized defensive forces in the inner city in advance to cover their retreat.
And that was exactly the case!
When Koma led the Westeros soldiers to break through the Plant Labyrinth, after breaking through the Plant Labyrinth,
He saw at a glance Hornos's troops, lined up in a long line, preparing to enter through the inner city gate.
There was nothing to say, the soldiers of both sides quickly organized their formations in a very short time and entered a state of combat.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Bang, bang!
In front of the Volantis inner city gate, the archers of both Koma and Hornos,
were shooting arrows at the enemy infantry charging towards their own side at close range.
The Westeros soldiers wearing Westeros-style armor were better off, as their chainmail provided some defense.
As long as they weren't hit directly in vital areas like the head or heart, they could continue to fight.
On the Volantis side, most were Volantis slave soldiers wearing simple leather armor.
They suffered much more when facing arrows.
Their simple leather armor couldn't block arrows shot at such close range at all.
Arrows with strong force pierced through their armor without any obstruction and then embedded themselves in their bodies.
Severe injuries and intense pain immediately incapacitated large numbers of slave soldiers.
The longer the reach, the stronger!
Swish, tear!
As soon as the two armies made contact, the Volantis soldiers wielding sharp long spears exerted all their strength and thrust fiercely at the Westeros soldiers who had charged up to them.
Although the Westeros soldiers accompanying Koma were all elite veterans specifically selected by him.
Not everyone could dodge the spear thrusts quickly or block them with their shields.
In the blink of an eye, large numbers of Westeros soldiers were impaled through their chainmail by the sharp long spears of the Volantis soldiers, falling to the ground bleeding.
Clang, clang!
Tear, tear!
The Westeros soldiers in the front row who had dodged the Volantis soldiers' spear attacks quickly broke into the enemy's spear formation while the opponents were withdrawing their spears.
They skillfully used the single-handed shields strapped to their arms to heavily knock aside the long spears in the hands of the Volantis soldiers, while the longswords tightly held in their other hands fiercely stabbed the enemies' bodies.
In front of the inner city gate, the Westeros soldiers in black chainmail and the Volantis soldiers in yellowish-brown leather armor,
were like two liquids of different colors colliding, the black and yellow instantly merging together.
Close-quarters combat in the era of cold weapons was always the most brutal and tragic!
Splash! Splatter!
Large streams of bright red blood continuously flowed from the bloody holes made by the spears.
Broken organs fell out of the flesh torn by the longswords.
Fragile lives constantly disappeared on this battlefield!
When these two large armies fully engaged, the formation that had been barely maintained before completely scattered.
After that, it was entirely a chaotic free-for-all where you were in me and I was in you.
Clatter!
Below the inner city wall, a Volantis slave soldier had just used the long spear in his hand to pierce the chest of a bravely advancing Westeros soldier,
when he heard a splashing sound from above. He looked up and immediately felt the sky darken, as if something was blocking the sun.
"Ah! ..."
Scalding hot liquid gold was poured directly onto the face of this Volantis slave soldier, causing his skin to burst open and flesh to tear, screaming repeatedly.
It was unclear what the Commander on the inner city wall was thinking, upon seeing the enemy soldiers advancing to the foot of the wall,
he disregarded his own people below the wall and directly poured large quantities of boiling hot liquid gold.
"Damn Zusana!"
Hornos, who was protected by layers of personal guards, naturally saw this scene.
He knew that the other party was telling him with their actions that he must keep the enemy at a certain safe distance from the city wall.
Otherwise, let alone letting him into the city, they would probably attack indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe.
"Gino, the two sides are now in a chaotic battle.
The enemy Commander has only a few guards around him. You take your brothers and break through to decapitate him!"
Hornos looked at the enemy Commander wearing luxurious armor not far away and tilted his head to instruct the captain of his personal guards beside him.
This captain of the personal guards named Gino looked slender and was not of a bulky, strong build.
But for this extremely dangerous task assigned by Hornos, he accepted it without the slightest hesitation.
Then, Gino led over a dozen of Hornos's personal guards and went straight through the chaotic battlefield, heading directly towards Koma, who was observing and commanding the battle on the opposite side.
Gino's weapon was also a long spear, but the spearhead of his long spear was made of fine steel, which was much better than standard issue spears.
He charged ahead, his fine steel long spear like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, striking at the vital points of the Westeros soldiers one by one.
At first, Koma didn't notice Gino and the others, but the fact that they were breaking through the battlefield and coming towards him against the flow made it impossible not to notice.
Koma immediately ordered the guards around him to intercept them and then prepared to mobilize the surrounding friendly soldiers to encircle and annihilate them together.
But unexpectedly, Gino actually broke through the encirclement alone on horseback and came towards him.
At this moment, besides Koma, the only person beside him was Raja the Necromancer, who was wearing handcuffs and leg irons.
But seeing the other party's indifferent attitude, Koma knew that he could only rely on himself in the end.
Perhaps it was because Koma had been acting as a Commander before, and then his younger brother Dicken's formidable martial prowess overshadowed his own brilliance.
In fact, Koma's swordsmanship was also quite good, making him a versatile talent who could both command battles and charge into the fray.
Clip-clop, clip-clop!
Swish!
When Gino, who was approaching on horseback, was still a few meters away, he suddenly threw the fine steel long spear in his right hand towards Koma.
Whoosh!
Clang!
The fine steel long spear, carrying a fierce whistling sound, went straight towards Koma's head, but in the end, the fine steel long spear shot past Koma.
Because Koma had already judged the other party's movement and deflected the spear thrown by the other party with his own longsword in advance.
Rip!
After the forward momentum of the fine steel long spear was expended, it was inserted diagonally into the ground beside Koma.
Damn it, these bastards from other continents are really vicious!
Koma twitched his nose slightly and looked at his longsword.
He saw that when the longsword had just deflected the fine steel long spear, it had been stained with a bluish-green stain.
He sniffed it slightly and knew that it was a powerful poison applied to the weapon.
Since that's the case, I'll play some tricks too!
Gulp, gulp!
Koma directly took out a wooden test tube from his Pregnant and then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
This potion was a low-grade, safe version mixed by Ela using Courage Wine as the main ingredient.
It could greatly enhance the drinker's strength and reduce the sensation of pain.
After that, besides having to lie down for three to five days to recover slowly, there were no other side effects.
Rip! Whoosh!
Koma backhanded the fine steel long spear that was stuck beside him out of the ground, then his arm muscles bulged, and he directly threw a spear back at Gino.
This strength... No, I can't take it head-on!
Watching the fine steel long spear, accompanied by a strong whooshing sound, shoot back at an even faster speed,
Gino made a lightning-fast judgment in his mind and then relatively calmly rolled to the side to dodge Koma's attack.
Tear!
Gino easily dodged it, but a Volantis slave soldier behind him was directly pierced through the chest by this deadly fine steel long spear.
Bang!
The fine steel long spear, with immense force, easily pierced through this Volantis slave soldier and then, without losing momentum, heavily embedded itself in the stone slab ground.
The fine steel spearhead, possessing tremendous power, directly shattered this stone slab into countless pieces!!! (End of this chapter)
