Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 635 - 49: The Origin of Recruitment Scroll
The battlefield situation on the banks of the Red River was somewhat reminiscent of the scene from The Lord of the Rings where the Riders of Lóhan charged into the orc legions.
The Tier Five elite cavalry division of the northern human alliance on the Red River Plain crushed Odair's overwhelming Tier Two Skeleton Fear Demons in a single sweep.
This scene finally made Lin Rui seriously assess the introduction of the world sanctuary forces: "Sword and faith are the two main weapons of the sanctuary; there is no enemy unafraid of the well-organized White Knights and the God's Envoys behind them. The favored lands beloved by the Master of Brilliance cannot be conquered by evil. The radiance of the blazing sun will shine upon the citizens of the Holy Empire and the Seven Great City-States of the Holy Hall forever."
Their organized ranks of White Cavalry were practically unstoppable once they charged.
If they were allowed to charge twice, Odair's undead basic infantry division stationed on the south bank of the Red River would be reduced to a field of bones.
Even the resilient elite main forces, the Phoenix Battle Group Black Knights, couldn't withstand such a charge, suffering hundreds of casualties in one attack.
The strength of the Black Knights does not lie in resisting charges — that is the strength of the Black Banner Guard. Their strengths have always been incredibly tough close combat, continuously weakening the opponent's fighting power and then relying on position battles to wear down and destroy the opponent.
Clearly, the human forces in this world were well aware of the Black Knights' combat characteristics and avoided close combat. Instead, they relied on heavy cavalry to maintain distance, repeatedly charging to diminish the Black Knights' numbers.
Lin Rui stood in the command cabin of the Dark Angel, watching the cavalry charge with a heavy expression.
The speed and intensity of the cavalry charges in this world have clearly defied the laws of physics. There is only one possibility: they received the blessing of divine power.
Just as the soldiers of the Golden Pansy Domain have divine blessings, with extremely high evasion probabilities and critical strike probabilities that leave opponents dumbfounded, nearly every strike a critical, shattering with one hit and devastating with two.
The blessing received by the human cavalry in this world obviously enhances their impact and speed. A single knight only needs a distance of a dozen meters to start charging, and without being stopped, they can immediately charge at the next target. Lin Rui saw with his own eyes a single heavy cavalry charge, with the massive lance impaling five skeleton fear demon carcasses. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
If Odair's core division didn't intervene, this Tier Five elite cavalry division alone could crush all the Skeleton Fear Demons under her command.
Yet this is just a cavalry division from a mere count's domain in a human nation!
The Sanctuary forces are vast, from Tier One sentinels, Tier Two divine archers, Tier Three griffins, Tier Four priests, Tier Five knights, Tier Six mages, to Tier Seven angels — all are fairly common.
In this world, anything above Tier Six is considered Super-Tier, but which human force doesn't have several Super-Tier beings as their foundation?
Be aware, the Golden Pansy Domain's Super-Tier soldiers have already exceeded a hundred.
Even if these human forces are slightly unlucky, given enough time, they can gradually amass their numbers.
A count's domain with a legacy of hundreds or even a thousand years could produce hundreds of Super-Tier soldiers. A union of a hundred such domains could form a Super-Tier division.
This is not impossible. Even humanity's ultimate force, the Blazing Angels, are merely the basic Divine Kingdom Armament in the eyes of divine beings. The Divine Kingdom Armaments in the gods' hands are likely counted by legions, and casually granting a division to a devotee would be enough to split among hundreds of forces.
If the human alliance gathered a division of angels to attack Lin Rui, it would pose an extremely difficult challenge for him.
Thus, Lin Rui decisively agreed to Odair's request; it was necessary to inflict significant damage on the human alliance to make them think twice before attacking again.
Upon receiving Lin Rui's agreement, Odair immediately redirected her forces. The ten or so Heavy Armored Crimson Dragon Riders she summoned with potions let out an earth-shattering roar and decisively plunged into the human cavalry wave.
The Epic-level Tier Six Dragon Riders' overwhelming power against Tier Five Elite Cavalry is truly terrifying.
A dozen Dragon Riders descended like a crimson moon, each over a hundred meters long, charging at ten times the speed of sound. They left trails of red light over a kilometer long and tens of meters wide, intersecting as they swept across the ground, leaving behind a field of dismembered limbs and blood-soaked soil.
The human cavalry were completely defenseless at that moment, like white rabbits facing the pounce of dozen evil dragons.
The spies from various factions hiding in the shadows with binoculars were nearly unable to breathe from fright.
It's almost unimaginable — could all these soldiers indeed be epic-level beings?
With a single attack, they destroyed an entire cavalry battalion!
It was as if the devastating scene of human cavalry charging through skeletal demons had reoccurred.
Only this time, the roles of hunter and prey had been reversed! Now it was the human cavalry being devastatingly defeated, leaving a battlefield strewn with limbs and bloodied remnants.
But the battle was far from over. After the dozen Dragon Riders broke the momentum of the human cavalry charge, Odair promptly brought in a battalion of core troops!
These were her under-command Dark Temple Warriors and Ancient Heroic Spirits.
The entire battalion was enhanced by all her Commander Traits!
This combat power had a world of difference compared to ordinary soldiers.
In the first clash with the human cavalry, this difference in strength was vividly displayed. The human cavalry's reformed charge smashed into the undead battalion like hitting an iron wall!
