Chapter 791.1: Ups and Downs
Su Xiao had just cleared the area around him, but before he could catch his breath, he suddenly discovered that the orcs and dwarves around him had started to retreat.
There was no fear in their eyes — they were still not afraid of death, but for some reason, they were still slowly retreating.
*Boom-boom-boom...*
The floor under his feet shook slightly, which made Su Xiao wary.
The floor beneath his feet was shaking harder and harder, and besides that, the Union warriors around him were getting smaller and smaller, as if they were clearing the arena for someone else.
— Coward of the Empire.
A dwarf riding a wild boar jumped out of the union army. He held a short-handled warhammer in his hand, and the vital parts of the wild boar beneath it were covered in special-looking armor.
When Su Xiao saw this dwarf, he was immediately reminded of those dwarves riding wild boars, but after looking at it more closely, he realized that this dwarf was very different from those cavalrymen.
This dwarf's armor had an earthy yellow pattern on it, which was obviously the result of combining dwarven forging and goblin alchemy.
This armor gave him authority. Although the Mountain Cavalry was already an elite unit of the dwarves, not every one of them could be equipped with such armor.
It was too expensive for mass production and even more so for mass use.
Su Xiao prepared for battle and used the Eye of the Apostle to test the characteristics of this unusual dwarf.
[Bart.
Type: Gnome.
Position: Member of the Earth Cavalry Regiment (currently there are 1,200 dwarves in the regiment).
Health: 100%.
Mana: 200/270.
Power: 52.
Dexterity: 32.
Durability: 49.
Intelligence: 27.
Charisma: 6.
Skill 1: Good Cavalryman (Level 19; Passive). Increases health by 400 points; Strength +3 points; Durability +5 points.
Skill 2: Teamwork (Level 20; Passive). When the number of Earth cavalry members nearby reaches 10, strength, agility, and stamina +1; When the number of Earth cavalry members nearby reaches 100, strength, agility, and stamina +3; When the number of Earth cavalry members nearby reaches 1,000, strength, agility, and stamina +5.
Skill 3: Earth Armor (Level 25; Passive). Defense +15 points, health recovery +18 points per minute. A faint aura spreads around the wearer of the armor. When the number of Earth Cavalry members nearby reaches 1,000, a strong aura will be formed.
Skill 4: T-formation (Level 26; Passive). When the number of Earth Cavalry members in the vicinity reaches 1,000, forming a T-formation will give you the following boosts: Movement Speed +40%; Momentum +70%; Attack Power +12%; If there is a strong Earth Armor aura nearby, it will receive an additional boost.
Skill 5: Sharing Life and Death (Level 29; Passive). Candidates for the Earth Cavalrymen choose a young war boar when they first start their journey. A cavalryman and a war boar train and live together. The level of tacit understanding between the two sides eventually surpasses the level of understanding between a knight and his warhorse. This eventually creates a symbiosis between the cavalryman and his war boar. When the health of any of them drops below 50%, they enter a health sharing period. The partner with the higher health value will transfer their health to the partner, resulting in their health always being at the same level. If one of them dies, they will die together.]
After seeing the characteristics and skills of this dwarf, Su Xiao began to slowly retreat. If it was just one cavalryman, he would be able to kill it in less than ten seconds.
But now a thousand such dwarves were rushing toward him. They rode their wild boars in one neat row. Each of them wore alchemy armor and carried identical battle hammers in their hands.
*Rumble...*
A thousand dwarf cavalrymen were rushing up the slope like an earth-yellow landslide.
Since he was alone in the middle of the union army, Su Xiao would be the first imperial warrior to come into contact with this cavalry.
There was a very special aura around this dwarven cavalry.
Su Xiao raised his shields to counterattack. Faced with such a large-scale attack, he could only put his shields out in front of him so that his opponent couldn't crush him.
Qing Gang Yin's energy enveloped the Dragon Flash. The stats of every dwarf in this earth cavalry weren't too great, but if a thousand of these dwarves attacked in unison, it would be a different level of problem.
— Ola-la-la-la... the orderly row of dwarves started to let out a strange cry, but it caused them to speed up a bit.
As the cry of the earth dwarf cavalry spread, the veterans of the empire's army began to subconsciously retreat as soon as they heard the cry. Unfortunately, they couldn't retreat because there were too many people behind them.
Su Xiao put out a Dragon Flash in front of him.
The Earth Cavalry was already ten meters away from him.
Eight meters, seven...
As soon as Su Xiao stepped on the floor of the fortress wall, gravel flew in all directions. He took the initiative and decided to strike at this dwarf cavalry first.
