Zhao Hai was surprised for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Thank you beastman friend, but there's no need. We can handle it ourselves." After saying that, Zhao Hai turned his head to look at the Jackal tribesmen who were rushing over.
The Jackal tribesmen were holding weapons, and they didn't seem to want to slow down. It seemed like they were ready to kill them on the spot.
Zhao Hai coldly snorted, then waved the Ghost Staff in his hand. More than a hundred undead creatures appeared outside of the caravan formation. These undead creatures weren't in human form, but were in the form of magic beasts. Moreover, they weren't zombies, but skeletons.
Zhao Hai did this because he didn't want to hide their identities. In the future, when they walked on the Beastman Prairie, they would certainly attract the attention of merchants. Those merchants would certainly investigate their identities. Zhao Hai revealed his identity as a black magician to let those people know that he, Zhao Hai, had arrived at the Beastman Prairie.
These undead creatures were brought into the space by Zhao Hai yesterday to deal with this kind of situation. As long as a black magician didn't use humanoid undead creatures, they generally wouldn't be disliked. This was especially true in the Beastman Prairie. In the Beastman Prairie, everything depended on strength. Even if you used humans to form an undead army, the beastmen wouldn't feel too disgusted. As long as your strength was strong enough, they wouldn't provoke you.
Zhao Hai currently had a thousand beast-shaped undead creatures stored in the space. In this kind of situation, a hundred would be enough to deal with it. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't release all of them.
Even so, the Jackal tribesmen were surprised. The beast-shaped undead creatures released by Zhao Hai were very large in size. In front of these enormous undead creatures, the Jackal tribesmen were like children less than ten years old standing in front of a giant.
These undead creatures now had the strength of rank 7. This kind of strength was stronger than the Jackal tribesmen, and with the difference in size, the hundred undead creatures actually surrounded the two hundred Jackal tribesmen. Before the other Jackal tribesmen could react, the two hundred Jackal tribesmen were annihilated by the undead creatures.
Although in the Beastman Prairie, if a human killed a beastman, they would be hunted down by the beastmen. However, if a human was in a state of self-defense, then the situation was different. The beastmen wouldn't care.
When Zhao Hai released those undead creatures, the young leader of the Herculean Bulls knew that Zhao Hai could deal with the Jackal tribesmen, but he didn't think that it would be so fast.
As the prince of the Herculean Bulls, he had a much better understanding of magicians than the average beastman. However, he had never seen a magician in action before. After all, he had always lived in the Beastman Prairie. Human magicians couldn't casually take action in the Beastman Prairie.
When Zhao Hai saw that the Jackal tribesmen had been dealt with, he couldn't help but turn to the young leader of the Herculean Bulls and say, "Dear beastman brother, how about we join hands to deal with the enemy and then have a good drink?"
Zhao Hai had a good impression of this Herculean Bull. When the other party saw that they were in danger, he was willing to help them. Zhao Hai was very grateful for this.
When the Herculean Bull heard Zhao Hai's words, he stared blankly. Then he thought about it and understood the meaning of Zhao Hai's words. Zhao Hai wanted to help him, but he was afraid of hurting his face. Therefore, he said that the two of them would join hands to deal with the Jackal tribesmen.
Although he understood Zhao Hai's good intentions, the pride of the beastmen didn't allow him to do so. He loudly said, "My human brother, Herculean Bull Wales asks for your help to drive away those hateful dogs."
Zhao Hai stared blankly for a moment, then he laughed. He liked Wales, and Wales was very frank. He was afraid that Wales wouldn't let him help, so he said that the two of them would join hands. But he didn't think that Wales would be so prideful. If he asked for help, then he asked for help. He wasn't willing to take advantage of him.
The conversation between the two was naturally heard clearly by the Jackal tribesmen. The Jackal tribesmen couldn't help but panic. They had already seen the fighting strength of the undead released by Zhao Hai. To be honest, they didn't have the confidence to deal with it. If the 300 Herculean Bulls were to join in, they were afraid that they wouldn't have a good time.
Just as they were preparing to make adjustments, a large number of undead suddenly appeared around them. These undead were the same as the hundred undead released by Zhao Hai. They were all in the shape of beasts, and they were also giant beasts. These thousand undead surrounded the two thousand Jackal cavalry.
What was the most tragic situation for a cavalry? It was when they were surrounded and lost the space to charge. A cavalry that lost the ability to charge was often not as scary as an infantry.
The reason why the Jackal tribesmen became the most famous bandits in the prairie was because of their mounts. Their mounts were the wind element magic beast Flash Jackals. The Flash Jackals were the Jackal tribe's closest beasts. They were level 5 magic beasts with speed and flexibility. Because of this, the Jackal tribe could come and go like the wind on the Beastmen Prairie, making it impossible for people to catch their traces.
But now, they were surrounded. They had lost the mobility that they were most proud of. The thin and small Jackal tribesmen had now become decorations on the coffee table. It was a complete tragedy.
However, they quickly discovered that they weren't decorations on the coffee table. Describing them as decorations on the coffee table wasn't appropriate. It would be more appropriate to describe them as decorations in the kitchen. When they were surrounded by the undead, they were doomed to have a tragic ending. A tragic ending that couldn't be any more tragic.
While the Jackal tribesmen were still panicking and didn't know how to deal with this situation, Zhao Hai had already given the order to attack. The thousand tall undead attacked the Jackal tribesmen.
When Wales saw this situation, he couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to beat a drowning dog, so he immediately gave the order to attack.
These Herculean Bull warriors had always been surrounded and attacked by the Jackal tribesmen. Their hearts had always been sullen. Now that they heard Wales' order to attack, it was as if they had eaten stimulants. They shouted and called for their mounts. They flipped onto the backs of their bulls and charged towards the Jackal tribesmen.
The mounts of the Herculean Bulls weren't stoneskin bulls. The stoneskin bulls had great strength and defense, but they weren't fast. They weren't the best choice for cavalry. Therefore, the Herculean Bulls used another magic beast as their mounts, the Earth Bull.
The Earth Ox was a kind of 5th rank magic beast. Their speed wasn't slow, their defensive power wasn't bad, and their strength was great. They were the most suitable mounts for the Herculean Bull Clan. The Earth Ox wasn't the Herculean Bull Clan's beast parent. The Herculean Bull Clan always thought that their beast parent was a Stoneskin Ox, and when they killed a Stoneskin Ox and absorbed its soul, they always thought that they were fusing with their beast parent. This was a special case in the Beastmen Prairie.
In the Beastmen Prairie, their relatives were generally their mounts. Very few were like the Herculean Bulls, who thought of their soul beasts as their relatives.
Zhao Hai looked at the Herculean Bulls' charge. He couldn't help but recognize that the Herculean Bulls' charge was really awesome. That kind of charge was even several times stronger than the legendary heavy cavalry on Earth. One could imagine the concept of a heavy axe that weighed over two hundred pounds being swung in the process of a charge.
There was a saying in China's martial arts world. If a weapon was really swung, it would be one tael per catty. In other words, if you swung something that weighed one catty in your hand, you would have the strength of ten catties. In China's ancient cavalry, when they charged, they wouldn't really swing their swords. Instead, they would just lay flat on the saddle, borrowing the horse's power to kill the enemy. It was because of this that the ancient peoples of China's prairie used scimitars. This was because scimitars were more lethal in a cavalry charge.
But when the Herculean Bulls charged, they didn't just leave their weapons motionless. Instead, they swung their two hundred jin heavy axes. With the Earth Traversing Bulls' charging strength, how much force would a single swing of their axes have? Zhao Hai really couldn't calculate it.
Zhao Hai was a military fanatic, so he knew that when the ancient cavalry charged, they wouldn't swing their weapons. This was because it was easy to dislocate their shoulders. Therefore, when the ancient cavalry charged, if they used long weapons, they wouldn't use their hands to hold the weapon. Instead, they would use their hands to hold the weapon under their arms.
Moreover, at that time, the cavalry used lances. They wouldn't really stab the enemy. Instead, when they hit the enemy, they would lift the lance up. They wouldn't hit the enemy, they would just touch the lance and immediately disengage. Otherwise, the lance would break.
This was the ancient cavalry charge of China. But the ancient cavalry charge of foreign countries was different. They wore heavy armor and held straight lances in their hands. But it should be noted that the lances in their hands were made of a very brittle wood. In the process of charging, as long as they hit the enemy, their lances would break. If a cavalry's riding skills were superb, then only the front part of the lance would break. The rest of the lance could still be used.
When the Chinese lances were made, they also considered this problem. Therefore, the shaft of the lance was not made of a whole piece of wood, but of strips. It was just like the steel wire rope now. Not only was it tough, but it also had a certain degree of hardness. Therefore, when attacking the enemy, there would be a certain degree of cushioning. The cavalry could use this cushioning force to break the lance away. Just like what was said just now, the lance would not break with just a tap and a flick under the horse. The force was not too strong, so the shaft of the lance would not break.
It can be said that when the ancient cavalry charge on Earth, they didn't use the strength of the people, but the strength of the horses. But this time, the Herculean Bulls didn't only use the strength of the earth bulls, they also used their own strength. The superposition of these two forces made the power even greater.
Naturally, this was also directly related to the physique of the people in the Ark Continent compared to the people on Earth. The plants in the Ark Continent were rich in magic elements, and the elemental energy in the air was much more abundant compared to the people on Earth. In this case, the living beings in the Ark Continent were naturally stronger than those on Earth. Because of this, they were able to do things that people on Earth couldn't.
If Zhao Hai were to use a word to describe the Herculean Bulls' charge, it would be beautiful! Zhao Hai could only think of this word: beautiful. A kind of cruel beauty, a kind of beauty of strength, a kind of beauty of slaughter.
With the charge of the three hundred earth bull riders, the battle was basically over. It didn't mean that they had exterminated all of the Jackal tribesmen. This time, they had exterminated more than four hundred Jackal tribesmen. The rest of the Jackal cavalry were all exterminated by the undead released by Zhao Hai.
After the charge, the three hundred earth bull riders returned to the camp. They stared blankly at the corpses of the Jackal tribesmen outside the camp.
It wasn't that they hadn't seen corpses before. These knights were sent to protect Wales' safety. Which one of them wasn't a veteran of hundreds of battles? They could only sigh. They never thought that nearly two thousand Jackal tribesmen would be exterminated like this.
At this time, a large mass of black gas suddenly enveloped the battlefield. When the black gas slowly dissipated, there was nothing left on the battlefield. If it weren't for the trampled grass, one wouldn't have believed that there was a battlefield there.
At this time, Zhao Hai's carriage slowly entered the camp. The carriage stopped about twenty meters away from Wales. Zhao Hai and Laura walked down from the carriage and slowly walked towards Wales. The earth bull riders wanted to stop them, but Wales ordered them to retreat.
Zhao Hai led Laura and the others to stop two meters away from Wales. He gave Wales a standard salute with his hand on his chest and said, "Greetings, my brother Wales. Zhao Hai sends you his most sincere blessings!"
Wales gave a salute with his hand on his chest and hugged Zhao Hai. He laughed and said, "Brother Zhao Hai, you really are an amazing magician. You actually used magic to defeat the Jackal tribe. From today onwards, you are my, Wales', closest friend."
Zhao Hai wasn't used to Wales' sudden enthusiasm. He struggled to break free from Wales' embrace and said while panting, "My brother Wales, don't hug me like that anymore. I was almost choked to death by you."
Zhao Hai's words caused all the beastmen to laugh. They found that they liked Zhao Hai a bit. This was because Zhao Hai said whatever he wanted to and was very sincere. He wasn't like the hypocritical humans they had seen before.
