So, in the darkness, the executives and middle managers among these Blue Star Humans led their Swadian soldiers to charge into the Undead Monsters in the darkness, beginning a fierce battle.
To say it was fierce isn't quite right, as no fierce adjective could describe how quickly these Swadian soldiers knocked down the stumbling, swaying, clumsy zombies and Skeleton Soldiers, then quickly finished them off.
Moreover, the danger outside the low wall was not high; as long as they were careful, they could achieve many results.
Especially when they were engaged in fierce combat.
Just then, hoofbeats sounded from behind them. Two or three Kujit Steppe Bandits were galloping over on their steppe horses, holding bows and arrows and long spears, looking at them with interest.
It must be said that these Kujit Steppe Bandits were very familiar with these Swadian Commoners.
The Kujit Steppe borders the Swadian Plain, and the bordering area is also close to Deherim in Swadia.
Therefore, whenever these Steppe Bandits went out to the west to rob Commoners, caravans, or villages, Swadian villages would also be harassed and plundered by them.
Thus, it was not strange that they were familiar with these Swadian Commoners.
Then they watched as these Commoners, in what they considered a clumsy manner, charged forward and entangled themselves with the even clumsier zombies and Skeleton Soldiers using their wooden clubs or spiked sticks.
Although these Commoners could deal with the zombies or Skeleton Soldiers, in their eyes, an Undead Monster that could be solved with a light shot from an arrow or a thrust of a spear still required these Commoners to expend considerable effort and time to resolve, causing them to involuntarily chuckle.
It was only because they were now united under Lord Shen Mu that they were fighting together; otherwise, these Swadian Commoners would truly be easy targets in their eyes.
Furthermore, even if these Swadian Commoners upgraded to Swadian Recruit, Swadian Militia, Swadian Light Infantry, or even Swadian Infantry or Sergeants.
For these highly agile Steppe Bandits, they could easily be ignored.
After all, although their steppe horses lacked strength, had average sprinting speed, and were relatively weak in constitution.
Their stamina, however, was quite formidable.
Their long-distance travel ability was very strong.
As long as they could engage with these Swadian infantry units, they could employ powerful tactical and strategic flanking maneuvers, bypassing these clumsy infantry units to attack those vulnerable enemy target units.
That was how they achieved good results.
Even the formidable Swadian Heavy Cavalry and Swadian Knights in the Kingdom of Swadia could be avoided by these Kujit Steppe Bandits if they didn't want to fight, relying on their light and agile mobility to escape their combat range and bypass them.
Although Swadian Heavy Cavalry units are almost invincible in open field battles, as long as no battle occurs and they don't clash in the wild, what do the Kujit Steppe Bandits have to fear from them?
Therefore, facing the formidable combat capability of the Kingdom of Swadia, it can be said that apart from the Kingdom of Rodok, which can stubbornly resist by relying on its mountainous terrain and powerful heavy infantry and long-range Crossbowmen.
The only remaining ones who can ignore them are the Kujit Steppe Bandits, by virtue of their flexible tactical and strategic mobility.
So now, watching these Blue Star Humans leading these Swadian Commoners fighting with the zombies and Skeleton Soldiers, they all found it very interesting. Soon, nearly twenty or thirty Steppe Bandits who were out on patrol also gathered behind them.
They all watched the Blue Star Humans and Swadian Commoners fighting the Undead Monsters from here, as if watching a good show.
Normally, they would patrol in boredom, but tonight, they had the rare opportunity to witness something very interesting, so of course, they gathered together to watch.
As they watched, Bestour also arrived with 10 Steppe Bandit Elites and witnessed the battle unfolding.
"Boss, look here, it's really interesting." The Steppe Bandits also noticed Bestour, their general, and the Steppe Bandit Elites arriving, but they showed no fear. Instead, they excitedly waved at Bestour, signaling their boss to come and see the good show that was currently happening.
"What are you all shouting about here? Have you forgotten about patrolling? If anything goes wrong, I'll have your heads cut off with a Nomadic Scimitar to atone for it." Bestour glared at them, though a smile also played on his face as he scolded them.
"There's really something good to watch, Boss." These Steppe Bandits were not afraid; instead, they spurred their horses to Bestour's side and rode with him to a raised platform.
"Hmm, are those Blue Star Humans leading Swadian Commoners in battle?" Bestour rode over and stood on what seemed to have been a parking platform, watching the battle unfolding before him, a look of surprise on his face.
Then, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face, because this scene was truly too amusing.
No wonder these Steppe Bandits had all gathered here, seemingly unwilling to leave.
Their clumsy fighting styles, the zombies and Skeleton Soldiers that took great effort to kill, and the sight of them making mistakes and scrambling back, made them burst into laughter.
Especially seeing the Swadians, who were famous and powerful on the continent of Calradia, being put in a difficult position, made them find it even more amusing.
It must be known that on the Kujit Steppe, it is a place where the law of the jungle is fully believed. Children with weak constitutions or Khergit who are not agile enough are only fit to be slaves and cannon fodder.
Such clumsy fighting against enemies is looked down upon among the Khergit.
After all, Khergit grow up on horseback from a young age. Whether riding horses, using bows and arrows, or even spears, they are trained from childhood and are extremely agile, understanding how to seize opportunities.
Compared to these clumsy Farmers who grew up in towns or villages and only knew how to farm, the Khergit are indeed quite agile.
"Look over there, three Swadian Farmers couldn't even take down one zombie, and instead, one Swadian Peasant almost got tackled by that zombie. If he were tackled, his arm would definitely be gone, completely mangled." A Kujit Steppe Bandit burst into laughter.
They also saw how those three Swadian Commoners, trying to take down a zombie, ended up in a sorry state, stumbling and scrambling to escape due to a coordination error, which simply made them laugh heartily.
"And over there, two Swadian Farmers with long sticks couldn't even defeat a charging Skeleton Soldier. With that little speed, they didn't even dare to hit its head with their long sticks; instead, they only poked the Skeleton Soldier's ribs. It's truly ridiculous, what's the use of knocking off all its ribs?"
More Steppe Bandits burst into laughter.
For them, dealing with these Undead Monsters meant not fighting according to conventional combat experience; they had to use their own methods to accurately hit the heads of these Undead Monsters, destroying the soul fire within their heads to truly kill them.
Otherwise, even if they knocked off the arms or legs, or even the spine, of these Undead Monsters, what good would it do? The soul fire in their heads would still provide them with a continuous supply of necromantic energy, meaning these Undead Monsters would not truly die and would continue to attack them.
Therefore, the soul fire in the head must be destroyed to truly eliminate these Undead Monsters, and they already understood that these Undead Monsters were actually just piles of husks, and what truly made them move was the soul fire full of negative energy in their heads.
And soul fire is the true central core of these Undead Monsters.
"Hey, you can't do it like that, you have to hit their heads. The vital point of these Undead Monsters is their heads, or more precisely, the soul fire within their heads." A Steppe Bandit, unable to watch any longer, couldn't help but shout a reminder, as they truly couldn't stand watching these clumsy Swadian Commoners.
"Damn it, those steppe cavalrymen look really annoying." At this moment, a Blue Star Human fighting alongside these Swadian Commoners at the front couldn't stand it anymore.
Especially hearing the occasional bursts of laughter, cheers, or even boos from behind, made them feel like monkeys being watched, their faces filled with anger.
These humans had always considered their civilization level to be higher, and it was only due to changes in rules that they were forced to cooperate with these creatures from the Spiritual Realm. Essentially, they were still self-righteous, believing themselves to be superior.
But they never expected that these humans would be arrogantly mocked by these backward Lingjie Human Race, so how could they swallow this insult?
"Alright, we can't beat those guys right now. If real danger arises, we still have to rely on them to protect us." A wise Blue Star executive also tried to dissuade them, as it was the truth. At this moment, they could only swallow their anger.
But it was also this swallowing of anger that made them grit their teeth and fight even more furiously against the Undead Monsters with their weapons.
It wasn't that they couldn't turn around and scold those Steppe Bandits, those Lingjie Human Race cavalrymen in their eyes.
But just as that person said, if they encountered danger, such as some troublesome Skeleton Legion, Skeleton Cavalry, or even Ghouls and other powerful Undead Monsters, they would truly need the help of these Lingjie Human Race cavalrymen to retreat.
If these Human Race cavalrymen didn't help them then, and just watched them die while they themselves galloped away, then they would have no choice but to die.
That would be a very tragic situation.
Therefore, they didn't dare to offend these Lingjie Human Race cavalrymen and could only let them watch their show.
However, fortunately, they were still able to gain the upper hand in this period of fighting. Although the combat power of their ordinary Swadian Commoners was truly quite average, and they sometimes made mistakes, even when they made mistakes, it was at most minor injuries, and no serious injuries had occurred yet.
Slowly, as they united, they also swept away some Undead Monsters in the surrounding black fog, clearing out the Undead Monsters in this area.
Among them, Zhang Caidong, who was more aggressive in combat, personally led the Swadian Recruit behind him deep into the black fog for nearly 100 meters, slaying close to a hundred Undead Monsters.
It was only when he heard more and more sounds of Undead Monster activity appearing in the surrounding darkness and gray fog that he realized he had ventured too far into the darkness.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" Zhang Caidong swung the long spear in his hand, brutally splitting the head of a Skeleton Soldier attempting to approach.
Seeing his attack fail, he pulled a spiked club from his belt and, with a single blow to the Skeleton Soldier's head, completely shattered the Skeleton Soldier into a useless pile of broken bones.
He commanded the Skeleton Soldiers behind him to retreat quickly.
The darkness was still quite dangerous, and he didn't want to encounter any real danger. Besides, Zhang Bo was still behind him.
And those dozen or so little monsters who were holding torches, trembling with fear, and occasionally letting out screams.
"Go, go, let's retreat." Zhang Bo also commanded these little monsters to retreat at this time.
They had indeed ventured too far into the darkness; a distance of 100 meters was enough for those Undead Monsters to surround them.
Moreover, at this distance, even higher-level Undead Monsters might appear.
For them, as mere cannon fodder units of Swadian Recruit, encountering higher-level units would certainly be quite troublesome.
And as they retreated, some more intense ghostly blue soul fires also seemed to flicker in the surrounding gray fog.
Unbeknownst to him, a sudden tremor appeared in Zhang Bo's heart. This was the Prophecy-type Mage's pre-perception of danger.
"Not good, we need to hurry! I feel something is wrong." Zhang Bo immediately patted Zhang Caidong's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Danger!" (End of this chapter)
