Chapter 58: Shutting the Door and Clapping with a Skull

  Tonfa? Tonfa? Tonfa?

  Just as the six black-robed mages were about to release their magic, Marquis Greystone's eyes suddenly widened in unbelievable shock. Gods above, did I just see that wrong? Why would a jet-black wolf-toothed club suddenly appear behind the mages?

  It turned out that he was right and everyone present was also right!

  The black light flashed, and the long, inverted thorn-covered wolf-toothed club swept across, the red-robed wizard closest to it didn't even have time to turn his head, the fragile back of his skull had an intimate and passionate contact with the hard wolf-toothed club.

  With a loud crash, the tragic red-robed Taoist priest immediately fell to the ground. The five Taoist priests beside him were shocked and turned around in anger: "Damn it, this is an assassination..."

  Before the words had fallen, more than a dozen dark green daggers had silently flashed by like ghosts, and brilliant blood flowers bloomed magnificently. The five mages only managed to hum a sound before they fell to the ground with their necks broken, their eyes wide open in anger.

  Until this moment, the dark elves' figures had been faintly visible in the air. Yege, dragging his blood-stained wolf-toothed club, licked his cherry lips with a look of satisfaction: "Really good, club, indeed the thicker ones are better..."

  Silence! At this moment, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence, with hundreds of nobles and commoners staring blankly, only knowing to stare straight at Lin Taiping. The gods above, first was the violent Minotaur, followed by the sinister Dark Elf, what would appear next?

  The Marquis de Glangté, as wooden-headed as a chicken, had already stopped breathing; he clutched his chest tightly and suddenly felt his heart beating violently: "This... this... is also your slave?"

  "Got it!" Lin Taiping replied with a smile all over his face, continuing to chat nonsense, "That's right, my teacher Count Christmont liked to collect various dark creatures, so before I left, he gave me dozens of Minotaurs and Dark Elves as gifts, just in case I got bullied outside."

  Shameless, everyone present rolled their eyes in unison, thinking that anyone who dared to bully you must be blind. With such a large group of dark creatures following you, if you don't go out and extort protection fees from others, they should be grateful instead.

  Actually, at this moment, many people suddenly felt that the battle was no longer necessary. More than 200 mercenaries were annihilated, and six mages were so frustrated that they didn't even have time to cast spells. What else could the unlucky Blood Tooth Mercenary Corps do? Could they still... Wait! What's that sound?

  At that moment, in the silent and soundless manor, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came, accompanied by the collapse of a large section of walls. The last trump card of the Blood-colored Mercenary Corps was finally exposed in the air.

  Five heavily armored Blood Knights rode out of the manor on five ancient, copper-colored lizards with menacing auras. The Cyan Wolf Captain stood alone at the forefront of the triangular formation, carrying a heavy, crimson long spear. His face was expressionless and covered in scars, but his open eye burned with a fierce, blood-red flame.

  But compared to these blood-colored knights, what really caught the attention were the ancient bronze lizards they rode, these ferocious lizards reached a length of six meters, their sturdy limbs like stone pillars, on their rugged heads covered in solid scales, a tawny sharp spine gleamed, enough to pierce through heavy and hard armor during rapid charges.

  "This is... this is..." Everyone present shuddered, and several sharp-eyed nobles immediately recognized the origin of this ancient bronze lizard. "We've seen a vengeful spirit! This is a unicorn earthwalker, an excellent heavy cavalry mount!"

  No mistake, these wild lizards with sharp long spines are the kind of ferocious giant monitor lizards that have astonishing physical strength and extremely hard defensive power, although they don't qualify as magical beasts yet. They can be considered a good configuration for heavy cavalry.

  And now, when these five lone horned beasts appeared on the scene, the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence. Those nobles who had originally thought that Lin Taiping was already certain to win immediately overturned their conclusion.

  The gods above, no matter how savage the Minotaurs or cunning the Dark Elves may be, cannot withstand for long under the collective charge of a group of mounted lizardmen.

  At that moment, the Azure Wolf Captain at the top of the arrowhead formation had already raised his right palm with an icy expression. As he suddenly clenched his fist and swung it forward, the five Blood Fang Cavalrymen simultaneously let out a long howl, urging their one-horned earth-running lizards to move forward.

  Under the golden sunlight, the crimson armor glowed with a cold light, five ancient bronze-colored giant lizards gathered into a terrifying tidal wave, rushing forward in a frantic charge, amidst the deafening roar, the ground shook violently out of control, several pine trees that stood in the way were instantly crushed into fragments.

  At this moment, the nobles and commoners present all trembled with fear, their faces pale as they covered their mouths in shock; at this moment, even the Minotaurs and Dark Elves did not dare to resist head-on, and could only retreat helplessly to the side; at this moment, Countess Glangta revealed a sinister and venomous smile, as if she had already seen the wonderful scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.

  "Boss, let's go!" Kristen hastily loaded the magic crystal cannon and grabbed Lin Taiping, trying to push him out of the fierce battlefield.

  But unexpectedly, Lin Taiping still stood motionless on the spot, even with a good mood, with his hands behind his back, watching the dense ground lizard cavalry charge crazily and fiercely.

  300 meters! 200 meters! 100 meters! 50 meters!

  In just a few breaths, the terrifying tsunami-like waves were already within arm's reach. The five Bloodfang Cavalrymen simultaneously leveled their long spears, with the jet-black spearheads radiating an aura of death. As if sensing their murderous intent, the five single-horned giant lizards opened their bloody maws in unison and let out a savage roar that could tear souls apart.

  "That's it!" Looking at the enemy who seemed to have been scared silly, the Cyan Wolf Captain revealed a ferocious smile, with his white teeth gleaming menacingly in the sunlight. "Foolish little pale face, after you go to hell, be sure to tell the God of Death that the one who killed you is..."

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Without any warning, a crisp applause suddenly erupted. In everyone's astonished gaze, Lin Taiping raised his hands with a smile on his face and gave three leisurely claps.

  The applause had not yet subsided when a dozen or so bones fell from the White Bone Ring, and before they even hit the ground, they immediately assembled into a white skeletal soldier, which wobbled unsteadily to its feet, brandishing a crimson bone knife.

  The gods above! This guy from the East is actually a necromancer?

  In an instant, the crowd present let out a collective gasp of shock, and many people involuntarily took a step back. Even in Ivory Island, which prides itself on democracy and freedom, the dark branch of necromancy is something that fills people with fear and dread, making them unwilling to approach it.

  "Undead mage? Who said I'm an undead mage?" Lin Taiping rubbed his chin with a wicked grin, suddenly feeling that he should dispel the disguise technique and reveal the entire skull structure. That way...

  Alright, it was just an exaggerated idea after all, so he continued to play the role of a necromancer and clapped his palms again, watching as the second skeleton soldier shook and stood up.

  At this moment, the crowd let out an even louder cry of surprise. The Cyan Wolf team leader's face changed slightly, but he only hesitated for a few seconds before coldly laughing again and urging the Horned Earth Tortoise to charge forward at an even more terrifying speed: "Fools, just two low-level Skull Soldiers think they can block the Horned Earth Tortoise's charge? It's simply brainless......Uh?"

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The crisp applause sounded again, as the air waves flashed rapidly, the third skull soldier took shape again, followed by the fourth, fifth, sixth...

  Large pieces of white bone material kept falling out of the ring and constantly transformed into evil skull soldiers. Lin Taiping didn't even need to do anything, just slowly clapping his hands and chatting with Kristen beside him.

  Damn it! It's really damn it!

  The young wolf captain, who had been charging with all his might, finally couldn't bear the iron-green curses on his face. A few skull soldiers were not scary, but dozens of them were different. Perhaps the five-headed earthworm could easily destroy the front row of skull soldiers, but as long as it lost its charging speed and fell into the ocean of skull soldiers, with the clumsy reaction of the earthworm, it meant... No!

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Crisp applause continued to ring out, Lin Taiping stood smiling on the spot, clapping his hands in a rhythmic manner, and kept clapping non-stop, as if slapping someone's face.

  Each smile brings applause, and each applause summons a new skeleton soldier.

  First, second, third, fourth... twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second, twenty-third... sixtieth, sixty-first, sixty-second, sixty-... well, who knows how many?

  In an instant, within a radius of ten meters around him, all were skeletal warriors with green lights flashing in their eye sockets. These undead creatures stood densely packed like sardines, eerily silent and still, occasionally colliding and rubbing against each other, emitting that chilling rattling sound.

  My god! My god! My god!

  At this moment, everyone present has already become a collective wooden chicken. In their empty and hollow minds, apart from repeatedly exclaiming "My god!", they don't know what else to say.

  How is this possible? How can it be? How on earth is this possible?

  Able to summon and control nearly a hundred skeletal soldiers at the same time, only a Lich of Black Iron rank or higher can achieve this. However, such a powerful Lich cannot be found in the entire Ivory Island... no, not even in the entire Horned Sea region.

  But that's not the end, just a few seconds later, with Lin Taiping clapping his hands again, the black ground in front of him suddenly churned and surged like waves.

  The next moment, dense white bone spears shot out from the hard ground with a whistling sound, forming a thorny forest in an instant. Without a doubt, if those single-horned creatures were stupid enough to charge forward like that, they would have been completely annihilated before even reaching the Skull Soldier's formation.

  Despicable! Powerful! Despicably powerful! At this moment, everyone present could only stare at Lin Taiping with a dull and weird gaze, many people couldn't help but take in a cold breath.

  That guy is not human, that guy is not human, that guy absolutely absolutely absolutely... is not human!

  And so, in that instant, the ground-dwelling lizard cavalrymen who were charging up with a fierce killing intent suddenly slammed on the brakes, and under the huge inertia, a large group of lone-horned lizards crashed into each other. The blood-toothed cavalrymen let out miserable cries as they involuntarily flew backward.

  In the midst of chaos, the ferocious leader of the Cyan Wolf Squad directly jumped off the giant lizard and charged towards Lin Taiping like a cornered beast fighting back.

  Then, under the sympathetic gaze of everyone, this bronze middle-tier heavy armor knight suddenly burst out laughing with radiant sunshine and a hundred flowers in bloom, and grabbed Lin Taiping's right hand with great enthusiasm and shook it vigorously.

  "Sir, respected sir, we've been waiting for you for a long time, and now you're finally here!"
