"Eh? We're just going to ignore them? "Gelkin was stunned. Is that even possible? The enemy had already beaten us up, and we're going to let them go? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
"They're obviously here to harass you. Their movement speed is faster than yours. What's the point of chasing after them?" Li Huailin immediately said.
"Hmm … that's true …" Gelkin thought about it and nodded. "Then what should we do? Sir Oracle, these people are really … "
"Haven't you heard of the saying, 'The monk can run, but the temple can't?'" Li Huailin said. "They're harassing us to delay our attack on their main city. If we attack their home, how can they avoid us?"
"Although I've never heard of this saying, this … seems to make sense." Gelkin thought about it and said, "Sir Oracle, you really have a way."
"I …" Li Huailin facepalmed, expressing a headache. Why are all the subordinates I've taken in recently are a bunch of retards? This is really a headache. Are there no subordinates that can make me feel at ease?
While Rhode was chatting with Gelkin, the Fire Elementals were still chasing after the knights. Of course, it was a complete mess. There was no coordination between the Fire Elementals at all. All they cared about was chasing after the knights. There was no formation to speak of, as there was no such thing as that.
Seeing this situation, the knights were very happy. These Fire Elementals were really easy to deal with. If they dragged this on, they should be able to reach the human territory. Anyway, these Elementals would only cause destruction everywhere. They could just leave it to their mortal enemy, the humans.
Just as they were thinking about this, they suddenly heard a roar behind them. The knights knew that it was the voice of the largest Fire Elemental Lord. Of course, they did not understand the Elemental language, so they thought it was just an angry roar. The largest Fire Elemental was very strong, so when they heard the roar, they sped up to avoid being caught up. Yes, they were deliberately controlling their movement speed to allow the Fire Elementals to catch up.
After rushing forward for a while, the knights suddenly reported that the Fire Elementals behind them had not caught up. Of course, they couldn't understand Gerkin's voice, but the Fire Elementals could. Gerkin was telling them to go back. The Fire Elementals didn't understand why they didn't chase after these hateful guys, but of course, they still had to listen to Sir Lord, so they obediently went back.
"What happened?" The captain of the knights carefully slowed down and came to the back to take a look. As expected, there were no elemental creatures following them, so he stopped the troops.
"Did we accelerate too fast just now and they lost us?" the vice-captain came over and said.
"It's possible." The team leader nodded. Indeed, it was impossible for them to think that the previous roar was to summon the Fire Elementals back. In their eyes, the Fire Elementals didn't have such intelligence.
"It doesn't matter. It looks like the effect was quite good. This time, we'll be more careful. Let's try again," the knight captain said after a moment's consideration.
Turning around, the Royal Knights turned around and charged towards the fire elementals again. Of course, they didn't have any intention of being cautious. After all, the Fire Elementals couldn't possibly ambush them. Soon, they saw the long line of Fire Elementals again. Looking at the direction in which they were moving, they were still heading towards their main city.
Seeing this situation, the knight captain was a little anxious. He quickly ordered his troops to attack again. Just like last time, they first approached, then used magic arrows to attack, then retreated. This time, they learned from their previous experience and kept a safe distance from the large Fire Elementals, so they wouldn't be hit by their big fireballs.
"Ahhhh …" Of course, the Royal Knights were still successful. They shot down a lot of Fire Elementals and continued to run. The Fire Elementals were obviously furious, and once again surrounded the Royal Knights like a swarm of bees.
"Damn bastards, how dare you come back, I'll …" Before Gerkin could finish his sentence, he was punched in the face by Li Huailin. Of course, the damage wasn't very high, and the reflected damage to Li Huailin was even more than the damage dealt to Li Huailin. However, it did help Gerkin regain his senses.
"Lord Oracle, why did you hit me?" Gerkin asked curiously.
"Hey, hey, are you stupid? I already said they're here to harass you. Isn't it enough that you fell for it once? You want to do it again? Is there something wrong with your brain? " Li Huailin couldn't help but say. He really didn't expect that he had already told them what they wanted to do, and that they were heading towards the enemy's main city. Don't worry about the Royal Knights. They couldn't even kill a few Fire Elementals, let alone a Boss.
In the end, Li Huailin was speechless. When they were attacked a second time, Golkin was furious and wanted to kill the knights. Li Huailin was speechless. Did this guy only have a memory of 7 seconds?
Gerkin was furious, because Li Huailin had actually scolded him. Now, Gerkin and Li Huailin were still enemies. The reason was explained before, so when he heard Li Huailin's words, Gerkin was naturally angry. After all, Li Huailin was also one of the "small fries." However, when he thought about Li Huailin's identity, although Gerkin was unhappy, he couldn't do anything about it.
"Lord Oracle, these small fries … they're too arrogant. They must pay for their actions!" Gerkin said after some thought.
"You don't even know the consequences of your actions." Li Huailin facepalmed. These guys were really a headache. Not only did they have low intelligence, but they also had their own ideas. This was the most troublesome. "You should know that this attack is the will of God Ktanid. Are you trying to ruin God Ktanid's plan?"
"Hmm … this …" As expected, Gerkin still hesitated when he brought up God Ktanid's name. Indeed, he couldn't go against God Ktanid's will. "Is this really God Ktanid's plan?"
"Hey, I'm the Oracle. Of course I'm here to convey God Ktanid's will. Do you still doubt my identity?" Li Huailin asked.
"Of course not, Lord Oracle," Gerkin immediately said. If he had any doubts, he would have done so long ago. Now, of course, Gerkin still believed in Li Huailin's identity. "Alright, Lord Oracle. Since this is God Ktanid's plan, I, Gerkin, will certainly obey."
With another roar, Gerkin called back the Fire Elementals that were running around. Then, of course, they continued to advance toward the main city according to their original plan.
"Captain, it seems like they're not following us again." After running for a while, the Knights also noticed the situation. At first, the Fire Elementals chased after them, but after a while, they all ran back. This was very strange.
"What's going on?" The captain looked at the Fire Elementals and confirmed that they weren't following them. However, this time, they had slowed down. How could they not catch up? "Let's try again."
Of course, the Knights didn't give up. They turned around and rushed to the side of the Fire Elementals. Then, of course, they fired again. After shooting, they wanted to turn around and run, but after running for a while, the Fire Elementals still didn't catch up. This time, the Fire Elementals chased after them for a while. The other Fire Elementals didn't seem to care about them at all.
"Captain, something's wrong."
"Yeah, they don't seem to be chasing us at all."
"What's going on?" The Knight Captain didn't understand either. How could the Fire Elementals know their tactics? However, the Knight Captain naturally wouldn't give up. He tried a few more times, but the result was the same. The Fire Elementals seemed to know that they were here to harass them. They didn't chase them at all. When they came, they would chase them for a while. When they left, the Fire Elementals didn't care.
"This … this is impossible …" The Knight Captain was shocked. When did these Fire Elementals become so smart?
"Captain … Captain, what do we do? They're heading toward the main city. "
"Yeah, Captain, we don't have enough crossbows." That's right. The Knights didn't bring many crossbows this time. Of course, they didn't bring many magic crossbows. The cost of magic crossbows was really high. Even the elite Royal Knights only had a quiver of arrows. The first few rounds of shooting were almost used up. It was impossible to eliminate the Fire Elementals by shooting. They didn't think that it would be possible. They were only here to attract the Fire Elementals, but they didn't expect the Fire Elementals to ignore them.
Now, the Royal Knights were in a dilemma. They hadn't completed the mission given to them by His Majesty, and the Fire Elementals weren't cooperative at all. On the other hand, the Fire Elementals were still heading toward the main city. They only had 1,500 people. It was impossible to intercept them head-on. What should they do now?
"Go back and report this situation to His Majesty," the Knight Captain said after thinking for a moment.
"Yes." All the Knights nodded. So, the Imperial Knights circled around the Fire Elementals and shot all the magic crossbows they could. However, the Fire Elementals didn't continue to chase after them. Seeing this situation, they rushed back to the main city. Of course, they had to report this situation to His Majesty so that he could plan ahead.
Not long after, the Demons Palace received the news that they had failed the mission. Everyone was shocked by this news.
"You … You bunch of trash!" Emperor Ebodicus couldn't help but yell at the Knight Captain.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about this," Duke Vatoli said immediately. "Now …"
"No, I have to run." Ebodicus suddenly slammed the table. "Pass down my order. Get ready to retreat from the main city."
