If Grimm was still the Wizard Apprentice who only had a few magic puppets, this "battle" might have been able to stir his heart and give him a thrilling feeling.
Unfortunately …
In Grimm's storage belt, the number of low-level Demon Puppets like the Earth Puppets had reached three digits. Even mid-level Demon Puppets like the Rock Pythons had started to appear in small groups. Aside from the few quasi-wizard level Demon Puppets, Grimm's Demon Puppet army was starting to show its scale.
The increase in numbers also made the Earth Puppets very difficult to deal with.
In all fairness, an Earth Puppet with the strength of an intermediate wizard apprentice would have a hard time fighting against a regular demon hunter knight. Their bodies made of mud were not as indestructible as the Rock Golems and Steel Golems. The Demon Hunters had simple magic weapons and powerful knight combat skills. Almost every time they slashed or crashed into an Earth Golem, half of its body would be destroyed.
Unfortunately, these demon hunter knights obviously lacked the experience of fighting large groups of elemental puppets. They did not know that there was an important elemental core in the Earth Puppet's body. Therefore, most of their attacks were wasted on the Earth Puppets' thick limbs and mud-like heads.
Every earth puppet with a severely damaged limb would dive into the ground, and when they reappeared after their body was repaired, they would look like a brand new puppet.
In the eyes of the demon hunter knights, the group of more than forty Earth Puppets was like an army of Demon Puppets that kept popping out of the ground. They could not be defeated by human strength.
Since the beginning of the battle, every time a knight's skill lit up the battlefield and destroyed two or three Earth Puppets, the knights would cheer excitedly. But now, the Earth Puppets kept coming out of the ground. The heavy mud fists and mud spears were too much for them to handle.
As more and more demon hunter knights were hit by the Earth Puppets' fists, the circle of battle became smaller and smaller. Soon, only the knight captain and his two deputies were left in the field, still resisting stubbornly. The Earth Demon Puppets that surrounded them had already formed three or four circles.
Seeing that the outcome of the battle had been decided, Grim no longer concealed himself. He walked out of the darkness with firm steps and walked into the messy temporary camp step by step.
His appearance immediately attracted the attention of the last three people!
Looking at Grimm's strange black robe, the three knights immediately understood that he was the culprit behind the disaster tonight!
The three of them looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and made a firm decision in an instant.
The deputies of the two squads roared and threw away the small hand shields that were riddled with holes. In the blink of an eye, they pushed their flaming swords to their maximum power and pounced towards Grim as if they were cutting melons and vegetables.
Halfway there, their figures were blocked by the densely packed Earth Demon Puppets.
The two knight deputies roared once again. Their faces were flushed with anger. Before the strength in their bodies disappeared, two thick flame blades flew out of their hands and smashed the Earth Demon Centipedes in front of them, causing them to lose their balance.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Knight Captain's body glowed with a white light. His whole body was like a cheetah gliding on ice, passing through the chaotic Demon Centipede blockade. The longsword in his hand ignited with a blazing flame, and with terrifying afterimages, he used all his strength to slash at the hateful evil.
The fierce and scorching wind almost blew Grimm's hood off his head. The Knight Captain's gaze suddenly collided with Grimm's blazing eyes.
No matter how tyrannical and domineering he looked at the moment, no matter how his blazing sword was only a blink of an eye away from the evil being's forehead, there was not the slightest hint of hesitation or fear in the other party's blazing eyes.
The knight captain's heart trembled.
For the first time in his life, he saw a pair of burning eyes!
This was not a metaphor, nor was it an illusion. It was a pair of real flaming eyes that spat out terrifying flames!
At this moment, the tip of his flaming sword was less than a meter away from the head of the evil. With such a distance, with the terrifying speed of his Barbaric Charge, he wouldn't even need to bend his fingers to cross this distance.
Just when the knight captain tightened his muscles and was about to chop the pair of flaming eyes with the fiercest and most brutal attack, under his feet, in front of the evil, the ground cracked, mud splashed, and a huge monster rushed out.
The knight captain's flaming sword chopped right in the middle of the monster's forehead!
Rocks shattered, mud and sand fell …
The flaming sword chopped layer after layer of rocks, and finally got stuck in the thick and dense rocks.
A quasi-magus level rock python broke out of the ground, carrying the flaming sword and the knight captain, and rushed up to the sky for nearly 10 meters. The ring-shaped body of the rock serpent stood straight up, its dark eye sockets and mouth spewing out tons of dirt and gravel, sending the knight captain tumbling uncontrollably.
But even so, he didn't let go of the sword that was stuck in the head of the rock python.
After the two knights' assistants launched their final attacks, their bodies collapsed due to exhaustion. A few earth puppets rushed up and quickly controlled them.
At this moment, the only one who could still move was the knight captain, who was hanging on the head of the rock python.
Seeing that the knight still wanted to resist, Grim impatiently snapped his fingers, and a terrifying bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the knight captain. In the next second, he turned over and fell down like a rotten piece of wood, smashing a shallow pit on the ground.
After the last resistance was dealt with, the whole camp finally quieted down.
The earth puppets began to clean up the temporary camp in an orderly manner.
The mud and debris from the battle were pushed out, the cracked ground was flattened, the bonfire was lit again, and a new skinned wild boar was put on the bonfire … The young man who was tied to a tree shivered, and in a trance, he felt that time had gone back to the beginning. The environment in front of him was the same as before, the only difference was that there was only a mysterious black-robed man left in this camp.
Of course, if he was included as a captive, there should be two of them!
"Do you know how to barbecue?" The black-robed man suddenly turned to look at the young man.
The sudden question left the young man at a loss. He first nodded, then shook his head, and for a moment, he didn't even know what to say.
"You better know! Otherwise, I'll eat you like food! " The black-robed man raised his hand and shot out a line of fire, instantly burning the tough cowhide rope that bound the young man to ashes. "Come and help me barbecue!"
The young man moved his numb hands and feet, gently stroking the ashes on his skin.
The black ashes dispersed, revealing the intact skin underneath.
The corner of the young man's mouth twitched.
One must know that those ropes were all tied to his body and had cut deep into his flesh. However, that mysterious spellcaster was actually able to burn the rope with flames without harming his flesh and skin in the slightest. This … this frightening elemental control was simply worthy of worship!
In his heart, this mysterious black-robed man who suddenly appeared was like a great god sent by the heavens to save him. Otherwise, how could a human have such fine control over elemental flames!
With devout faith, the young man dug out the gravel in his mouth and ran to the pile of junk left behind by the mercenaries. He took out a water bag and gulped down the water until he was full. After that, he washed his face and washed his hands before going to the bonfire to roast his prey.
Grimm sat by the campfire and didn't pay attention to the young man. He continued to communicate with the A.I. Chip in his mind.
[Beep. Battle report.
A total of 23 natives were captured. 13 Demon Hunters, 10 human mercenaries, and 1 escaped …]
The Demon Puppet team dispatched 37 Earth Demon Puppets and 1 quasi-Magus Rock Python. Casualties: 0.
Preliminary battle strength: Demon Hunters have the strength of acolytes. Individual strength is a combination of primitive magic weapons and Knight battle techniques, suitable for large scale battles …]
Grimm was slightly stunned.
"Why did someone escape? Where is that guy? "
Just as Grimm had this thought, the A.I. Chip switched the view of a Wind Breath monster in the distance.
In a pitch-black forest, a slender and nimble mercenary was madly running without turning back. No matter how the overgrown branches whipped his body until it was covered in bloody scars, he was unwilling to slow down his pace for even a moment.
It had to be said that Grimm had cleaned up the forest too thoroughly recently. Almost all the wild beasts in the forest had disappeared. Otherwise, with his reckless charging, he would sooner or later become a delicacy in the stomachs of the wild beasts in the forest.
[Beep. This mercenary took advantage of the chaos and ran out of the camp. Does the host want to send a Lightning Giant to capture or kill him?]
Grimm's eyes flickered and he coldly said, "Looking at the direction he ran in, he should be heading towards the human town in the west. The demonic worms have formed a huge net there. I hope he's lucky enough to break through. Don't worry about him. Since he's courting death, let him have a taste of the demonic worms! "
"Right, I feel that the strength of these Knights is very average. They're just ordinary people who have undergone special training. Why do you think their strength is on the same level as acolytes? "
[Beep. This evaluation is based on the comprehensive strength of both sides … Demon Hunters are a special Profession that requires the support of many external items to display their own strength. Their most basic equipment should be a powerful mount, custom-made magic equipment, and powerful personal battle techniques. If these are taken into account, a fully equipped Demon Hunter should not be inferior to an acolyte of the same strength …]
