Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Golden Order Cavalry

The Golden Order Cavalry was made up of a kindred, the only group who were able to ride the exceptional sun horses. During their time, they were the last hope of the castle, the last stand against the Dark Lich’s vast army.

That army spread like a bottle of black ink on white paper. It was unstoppable, not until the three thousand Golden Cavaliers, these anointed knights, charged into this corruptible, vile ink.

Riding straight to its core where the Dark Lich sat on his skeletal throne made of the fallen. With the Dark Lich’s head, Lament recalled how, lonely on his horse, he watched the Lich’s army crumble.

As the pictures in his head faded, Lament looked at his brothers. Though dead, their strength had not faded, neither had their devotion for duty been abated.

"Belmont," Lament said toward his stallion, and it moved. Its steps weren’t light thuds, but they sent tremors through the earth. Though agile-looking, Lament’s horse had a powerful skeletal structure and great muscle mass stretched over its explosive body.

Coupled with the armour, the warhorse weighed about six thousand pounds, and yet could hit three hundred mph at full speed.

With the addition of the rider, their total weight was around six thousand nine hundred pounds.

Each cavalier was built to be a unit, as their movement alone could bring down walls. Each possessed prowess rivalling Knight-Captains, and together, as a Cavalry, they could cause a disaster.

The moment they all moved, the trembling of the earth made the faces of not just the Elite Class on the wall but all the Regulars change.

A great amount of dust rose, grasses were uprooted and flung into the distance by the fierce wind generated by their charge.

’It feels like everything would fall apart!’ Dax said inwardly, as the tremors were so great that people in the city miles away looked in the direction of the north.

The charge of two hundred and one Golden Order Cavaliers, each weighing almost four tons, put so much pressure on the foxes that they turned tails and began to flee.

Arden couldn’t believe her eyes. "T-They’re running?" she gasped. Even her own ears doubted what left her lips.

Even dungeon beasts fled? That was a very odd sight.

"I don’t blame them," Dax replied with a low tone, shooting a glance at Godfrey from the corner of his left eye. "It would be suicidal to stand against such a Cavalry."

Before their eyes, the Cavalry split up. With a sweep of their halberds, several foxes were slain, their bones shattering at the sheer speed the Night Cavaliers moved. Though it was day, they were like shadows of light to the foxes.

While the Night Cavaliers reaped lives like harvesters of grain, Lament crushed and stomped everything in his path as he went straight for the Red God.

He activated Element Infusion, turning himself and his stallion into what seemed to be a mini sun. Golden sun flames burst from within him, an adaptive Ascendant skill, as it wasn’t just flames around him; the Chief Knight became an embodiment of sun fire, a flame so hot the heat alone shriveled all the grasses a thousand feet away.

The Red God, an 11.0 mini boss, ran. It covered great distances, taking advantage of its huge size, but Belmont caused greater trembling, leaving web-like cracks through the earth as it kept running faster and faster until Lament was moving side by side with the fox.

It growled, swinging its arm at Lament. Black claws fixed into a massive paw came hurtling toward Lament, but the Chief Knight reacted with a swing of his own.

The axe part of the halberd met the Red God’s arm, and flames engulfed its fur as the halberd sliced the paw into two before another swing, followed by Lament’s grunt, took off half its arm in one go.

The Red God stumbled. Losing control in the middle of such high speed raised a great amount of dust as it tumbled several times, clearing grass from a huge area.

It growled at the dust, but nothing came out of it. Not just Lament had gone missing, but the entire Night Cavaliers were gone, leaving behind a hundred and something orange foxes left.

"They were killing the foxes, why did you retrieve your summon?!" Arden snapped her head toward Godfrey.

"I didn’t." Godfrey replied, once again experiencing the feeling of being completely dry. This same action wiped out all he had. Lament’s innate skill was beyond his capacity; it always didn’t last.

"He’s out of mana," Arian replied. "I made you absorb a month’s worth of mana during your sleep, and you consumed it in less than three minutes of battle."

"It’s understandable. Two hundred was just too much of an overkill. You should have been ten or maybe fifty and you’d be more strategic on how to deploy them. The mana needed to handle an innate skill that could summon two hundred Lord Tiers is too much. You’d have to dedicate years to meditation in order to use this ability freely, and even then, you would devote a lot of time to meditating," Dax said solemnly.

’So I’m stuck? Lament can summon up to three thousand... imagine them charging.’

Godfrey gazed at the destruction Lament and his cavalry did to the field and squinted.

’All three thousand of them might cause a literal 9.0 earthquake.’
