In the end, the battlefield was chosen to be a slightly flatter valley.
Of course, this was not the ideal location for a decisive battle, but it was the best place Grimm could find between the Demon Hunter Knights and the Sorcerer's camp.
Since the Demon Hunter Knights had been harassed by the Vampires and the Mutated Worms, they moved at the speed of a tortoise in order to prevent their formation from being too loose. But even so, the moment the sun rose to the middle of the sky, they still appeared on the designated battlefield.
This was a sparsely forested area with slightly flat terrain. On both sides were undulating hills and streams, broken mountain ranges, and steep cliffs that could be seen everywhere. Thus, if one wanted to travel north, this was the best place for a large group to move about.
However, at this moment, this place had turned into a despairing land of danger!
A terrifying lava volcano blocked the path of the Demon Hunter Knights.
This was a man-made lava volcano. Although it was not as powerful as the volcanoes found in nature, it still had the terrifying effect of turning the tide of a battle in such a small scale battlefield.
Two tall flaming figures stood side by side at one end of the valley. Their tall and stalwart bodies were completely pieced together by black and red lava and flint. The intense heat was accompanied by a glaring red glow as it shot out from its body, roasting the lava stones on its surface into semi-molten lava.
Their thick legs were inserted into the lava pool, and the area within a hundred meters was filled with dark red lava that flowed slowly. The green grass and tall ancient trees around the lava pool were also ignited by the terrifyingly high temperature. They were roasted, withered, turned yellow, cracked, and then ignited into little sparks …
With the lava pool as the center, the entire valley had become a scorched land. The ashes on the grass and trees at the edge of the battlefield were enough to cover a person's ankles.
Although he was forced to fight a tough battle with the Demon Hunter Knights, Grimm still had to choose a terrain that was advantageous to him. Not to mention, the steep terrain on both sides was not conducive for the Demon Hunters to launch a terrifying siege on him.
If the Demon Hunters dared to gather around the lava pool, Grimm would not mind using his terrifying spells to show them how terrifying an Elemental Sorcerer was on the battlefield!
The strange battlefield and the treacherous enemies made the demon hunters, who were witnessing such a scene for the first time, at a loss as to what to do. Although this was not the first time they had fought with evil, every time in the past, the evil had always been hiding. They would only turn around and launch a mad dog-like counterattack after being chased until they were at the end of their rope.
But … But now, the evil one had appeared on the battlefield in the form of a powerhouse, looking like he was going to kill them all in one fell swoop. This was a completely new kind of battle experience!
However, even though it was fresh, the death traps laid out by the enemy were truly terrifying.
Every Demon Hunter Knight's heart felt heavy as they looked at the expanding pool of lava and the charred, withered trees that had been burnt to a crisp.
If they wanted to charge at such an enemy, wouldn't they have to ride their demon colts into the pool of lava and trudge for hundreds of meters in order to get close to the enemy? It would only take five seconds for their demon colts to gallop a hundred meters, but could they even run on the soft, flowing lava? In order to pave a path to the enemy's bones, how many companions would have to sacrifice their lives for it to happen?
Countless questions floated in everyone's mind, causing every move of the Demon Hunter Knights that were slowly entering the valley to be filled with a sense of tragedy!
The fourteen Magic-breaker Knights slowly stopped in front of the battlefield, perched on their demon colts, and sized up the terrifying battlefield that the enemy had chosen.
This was a new enemy!
Including the two enemies who had appeared earlier, it meant that there were three evildoers who had revealed their true colors so far.
Niyingte walked out of the crowd and slowly took two steps forward. He coldly sized up the tall figure standing in the middle of the boiling lava pool. Of the two tall figures, one was an evil one, and the other was an evil puppet that he had summoned.
One had to admit that compared to the two evil and treacherous ones, this evil one before him was much more admirable and frightening.
Even before the battle began, this fellow had successfully used the special battlefield he had created to severely suppress the Demon Hunter Knights' morale. Even if all the demon hunters were fearless and even willing to sacrifice themselves, the sorrowful atmosphere clearly replaced the passion and passion required to fight with all their might when they thought that they were about to become the stepping stones for others to charge at their enemies.
The Demon Hunter Knights no longer had impassioned battle cries echoing in their hearts, but a solemn and stirring aria of sacrificing themselves for their companions!
When the warriors stepped onto the battlefield, they did not think about how to fight with vigor or how to forge glorious victories through hot-blooded battles. Instead, they thought about how to sacrifice themselves. This … This was not exactly high morale, was it?!
Clap, clap, clap …
Niyingte extended his hands, using his metal gloves to applaud the enemy's treacherous and unpredictable psychological tactics.
The clanging sound of metal clashing carried the scent of steel and arrogance, driving away the idle thoughts in the Demon Hunter Knights' minds. All the Demon Hunter Knights looked up, their gazes fixed on the great leader who had led them from one victory to another. The sorrow and sorrow in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by the cruelty and steel of noble knights.
Even if they were fated to die today, they would die proudly with the nobility and dignity of the Demon Hunter Knights! After all, the one leading them was the pride of all Demon Hunter Knights, Niyingte the Mage Knight!
Seeing that he had inspired his companions' morale, Niyingte ordered with a deep voice, "Alva, lead the first team to the left and defend … Anthony, lead the second team to the right … Beware of the ambushes from the two evil ones who have yet to show themselves. Focus on defense, do not pursue the enemy recklessly!"
"Yes!" The two Mage Knights bowed and accepted the order.
"Benson, lead the third and fourth teams to cut down trees and fill the path. Be quick …"
"Yes, I'll go now!" A burly Mage Knight with a rough face responded loudly. He jumped off his demonic colt and led a group of Demon Hunter Knights towards the nearest forest.
"Edward, when the opportunity to attack appears, you, Daniel, and Joseph will lead your own teams to hold the line. I will charge with the rest of the Mage Knights and kill this overconfident evil one in one go! "
"No, Niyingte, let me lead the charge! The Knights need you to stay at the back and command. It's better if I lead the charge! "Edward's eyes widened as he argued without hesitation.
The rest of the Mage Knights also volunteered to lead the charge!
"No, I must lead the charge!" Niyingte raised his hand to stop them. "Once the battle starts, there's no need for too many commands. The enemy's tactics are obvious. This evil one wants to confuse us and force us to take a detour or split up. That's the only way to create an opportunity for the two evil ones to ambush us!
That's why the guy in front of us is their leader and also their shield. What we need to do is to use the most ferocious attacks to pierce through their shield and render their blocking tactics ineffective.
At that time, the two evil ones hiding in the dark will lose their effectiveness and will be forced to join the battle to salvage the situation. That's when you can launch a ferocious attack and surround them!
So, I beg of you, leave the heavy responsibility of leading the charge to me! "
After listening to Niyingte's explanation, the group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
To break the shield with a spear, the Demon Hunter Knights would need to bring out their sharpest and sharpest team. In the entire Demon Hunter Knights, Niyingte was the most ferocious and ferocious among the Mage Knights. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the leader of this group at such a young age.
Under Niyingte's orders, the Demon Hunter Knights who were blocked in front of the lava pool immediately became orderly again. The Demon Hunter Knights who were guarding the lava pool were in charge of cutting down trees to fill the path. More Demon Hunter Knights patrolled the battlefield, guarding against the tall man in the sea of flames.
Meanwhile, Niyingte and the other nine magic-breaking knights gathered in front of the lava pool. They held their breaths and gathered their strength, ready to launch a suicidal charge.
However, their strategy was only a one-sided plan, and the unpredictability of the battlefield was far beyond their expectations. With Grimm's powerful strength, there was no way he would allow them to destroy the battlefield he had painstakingly built!
When the Demon Hunter Knights took off their heavy armor and dragged heavy trees and large rocks to the edge of the lava pool, Grimm and the Lord of the Flames raised their hands at the same time and cast a joint fire spell — Meteor Shower.
Under their command, a huge cloud of fire suddenly formed above the valley. Then, meteors with thick black tails fell from the sky, their target was the demon-hunter knights whose defense had been greatly reduced.
"Defend, everyone defend …" A Mage Knight with a loud voice yelled.
Then, more Demon Hunter Knights rushed to the front and pulled their rune bows to the fullest, shooting out Flame Arrows to intercept the meteors.
Most of the meteors were turned into fireworks by the Flame Arrows before they even hit the ground. Although the shattered flames formed a sea of fire that covered a larger area, the terrifying impact of the meteors was reduced to nothingness.
