Chapter 1255.2: Breakthrough
A similar situation on any other battlefield would have scared any army, but the eyes of the surrounding undead were filled with hatred and malice, all of them looking like they wouldn't give up until Su Xiao died. As for the deaths of their comrades, they all died for their bright future and for the Enlightened One.
The Enlightened One's death had obviously affected all these ordinary soldiers too much. The Enlightened One wasn't an ordinary being in the eyes of the undead, it was more like a 'totem'. Sometimes this "totem" was just there, and sometimes it started working. All Enlightened Ones lived a simple life, never leaving the tree and only guiding the entire undead race in the right direction.
But now that their 'totem' was destroyed, the high-ranking members of the undead race thought that Su Xiao was closely related to his death, and the ordinary members of the undead race thought that it was Su Xiao who killed the Enlightened One.
Basically, Su Xiao had killed the undead good luck charm, and now for that, they all wanted to eat Su Xiao alive, and they didn't even think about running away from the battlefield.
Su Xiao, on the other hand, was pushing forward. All of these soldiers couldn't withstand a single blow from him, but they were just ordinary soldiers, not elite undead troops. If he was surrounded by elite troops, then he definitely wouldn't be able to fight his way to the swamps so cheerfully.
With the crunch of bones and the clink of iron, Su Xiao fought his way through.
At the edge of the battlefield, the undead stood on a high slope and watched the scene below. This particular man was the commander of this army.
After observing the situation for a bit longer, the army commander said a few words to a soldier nearby. He realized that the current tactic simply wouldn't work against Su Xiao. They would have to wait a while longer for reinforcements to arrive, and given the current pace, their enemy would break out of the encirclement faster than the other armies could arrive and support them.
In fact, right now, it didn't seem like the undead were trying to stop him, but were only dying by his sword, not even one by one, but in batches.
Therefore, the army commander decided to send cavalry to block Su Xiao's path and counterattack him. If he decided to try to force his way through the cavalry, he would definitely receive serious injuries.
When the army commander gave the order, a pair of eyes looked at him from several hundred meters away.
In the middle of the battlefield, Su Xiao cut the undead's throat and smiled. He finally found the commander of this army.
He slashed a few times at the crowd in front of him and jumped up.
With a loud crack, the ground under Su Xiao's feet shattered and he jumped more than ten meters high. Given his strength, it was something ordinary. As for why he didn't jump higher, it was very simple — if he jumped a little higher, the archers would just turn him into a sieve.
The Duke of Nirvana appeared in Su Xiao's hands. He only had one second, and as soon as the Duke of Nirvana appeared in his hands, a scope immediately popped out of him.
Twisting the shutter, Su Xiao brought his head closer to the scope and aimed the crosshair at the head of the army commander in the distance.
Su Xiao was only 30% sure of this shot, and he only had one chance. If he dares to jump again, then this time they will definitely try to kill him with all their weapons.
As soon as he pulled the trigger with his index finger, the recoil knocked him back, but not before he saw a cloud of blood mist appear in the distance.
The army commander's upper body shattered into pieces.
Minced meat flew in all directions, and several of the commander's guards froze in place.
When Su Xiao landed, he immediately put the Duke of Nirvana back into the inventory. He now had two choices — he could either break out of the encirclement or die here.
----
An hour later, Su Xiao was sitting on the horse's corpse.
Blood dripped from the ends of his hair.
Five minutes ago, Su Xiao had successfully broken away from the undead army, destroying the pursuing cavalry units to do so, but he was not satisfied.
Although he was able to pull away, his first encounter with the undead army had left him in such a state. If he couldn't get out of the encirclement immediately next time, he would definitely end up being killed.
The army that surrounded him was too strong, and this was just the first skirmish. It took him too long to break out of the encirclement, and the saddest thing is that there will be clearly better-trained armies waiting for him ahead.
And if Su Xiao was surrounded again, this time, he wouldn't be surrounded by a couple tens of thousands of soldiers, but most likely hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
