In the forest far away, flames burst forth, and raging flames raged.
The pitiful cries of the mercenaries and the enraged roars of the magic-breaking knights could be heard clearly!
The middle-aged Radiant Knight's expression suddenly changed. He could not be bothered with the Bloody Mary in front of him anymore, and rushed towards the battlefield in the distance.
As one of the higher-ups of the Radiant Knights, he knew that the team of knights in the distance only had two magic-breaking knights. With such a formation against the terrifying fire demon, it was very likely that there would be heart-wrenching casualties.
According to the analysis of ranks, the magic-breaking knights and Magi were both at rank 1, and they both had the ultimate power to kill the other. In that case, the two magic-breaking knights should have the upper hand against a rank 1 Magus!
It was a pity that such an ideal comparison had never happened before.
One side was an evil Magus from a powerful plane, and the other side was a close combat knight from a weak plane. If the hindrance brought by the plane's suppression was removed, a rank 1 Magus would have the absolute advantage when facing a magic-breaking knight of the same rank!
Weak Magi might be afraid of the ghostly assassins, but when facing these thick-skinned meat shields, they obviously had the advantage in terms of their profession. Aren't you thick-skinned? If one spell can't hurt you, then I'll use two! If two can't hurt you, then I'll use three!
As for close combat? Hehe, no Magus would be stupid enough to fight a magic-breaking knight in close combat! With the speed of the magic-breaking knights, wanting to catch up with a magic-breaking knight in a forest full of thorns and bushes was simply a pipe dream.
Whether it was Flame Jump, Shadow Jump, or Elemental Wings of Wind, Magi had many ways to maintain a safe distance between themselves and the knights. Hence, there were only Magi who kited the knights, and it was rare for the knights to surround and attack the Magi.
Of course, not all Magi had the ability to move quickly. That was why in the first half of the month, there were already three Magi who died in this line of battle. As for the rest, they all had powerful mobility and were equipped with powerful killing spells.
Based on these two points, as long as they didn't run into a Radiant Knight, a Magus would have a 70% chance of winning in a clash between a Magus and a Knight of Destruction. As a result, the Wizard faction had lost 3 Wizards, and the Knight faction had lost 22 Wizards.
Hence, when the Radiant Knight saw the terrifying Fire Demon massacring the elites on his side in the distance, he was enraged. While he was wary of Bloody Mary's sneak attack, he rushed towards the battlefield with all his might.
But it was different from what he had imagined!
The middle-aged Radiant Knight thought that Bloody Mary would try her best to tangle with him and create an opportunity for the Fire Demon. However, Bloody Mary did not care about his departure at all. Instead, she flapped her wings and flew towards the young Spellbreaker Knight behind him.
This time, the middle-aged Radiant Knight's expression changed completely.
At this point, he completely understood why Bloody Mary had appeared here.
If he insisted on saving the two knights, the remaining knights would not be able to escape Bloody Mary's slaughter. But if he didn't …
The roar of the flames in the forest in the distance became more rapid and wild. A scarlet pillar of fire that was close to white soared into the sky, engulfing the forest in a terrifying sea of fire. At the same time, an egg-shaped flame barrier appeared. It was the Fire Demon's signature flame barrier!
The middle-aged Radiant Knight shook his head in anger and sighed. He turned around and rushed towards the female Vampire who was circling around the young Spellbreaker Knight. Since the Fire Demon had even activated the flame barrier, the fate of the two Spellbreaker Knights could be imagined.
Rather than saving the two subordinates who might have been killed, it was more important to protect the companions behind him!
Looking at the Radiant Knight who was rushing back, Bloody Mary cursed softly. She could only flash away from the opponent's attack range. She might have the ability to kill a Spellbreaker Knight, but against a Radiant Knight who was a grade higher than her, she could only retreat. She did not dare to expose herself to the opponent.
The Radiant Knights could fuse the rune energy from the outside world with the life energy in their body, forming a powerful Knight battle technique that was similar to the external release of energy. This allowed their attacks to break away from the shackles of the weapons in their hands, giving them the effect of a semi-long-range attack.
Moreover, because the concentration of energy was much higher than that of elemental spells, this semi-long-range Knight battle technique not only had a strong ability to break through defenses, but it could also directly annihilate or cancel out the spells cast by the caster. This was also the origin of the name Spellbreaker Knight!
The Radiant Knight was undoubtedly more powerful than the Spellbreaker Knight.
Their strength mainly lay in their ability to use rune energy to strengthen their bodies. The path they took was somewhat similar to the path of the Sorcerer World's Anatomy Refinery Sorcerers. However, the Anatomy Refinery Sorcerers used various poisons or extreme pain to strengthen their bodies, while the Radiant Knights used rune energy to make themselves more powerful in a short period of time.
Although they reached the same goal by different means, both of them displayed the same powerful physical combat strength!
That was why Mary could rely on her agile body to toy with the Spellbreaker Knight, but when she encountered the Radiant Knight, she could only turn around and run. Fight? With Mary's current strength, it was difficult for her attacks to break through the Radiant Knight's personal defense, which was a mixture of rune energy and life energy.
On the contrary, once the distance was closed, the Radiant Knight could seize an opportunity to kill Mary on the spot.
Mary's blood-red armor, which was infused with blood energy, could at most defend against 110 degrees of elemental attacks. The Radiant Knight could easily attack with more than 150 degrees of mixed attacks, which was more than enough to kill a close-combat Sorcerer like her. That was why Mary did not dare to step within ten steps of the Radiant Knight.
Looking at the cunning Bloody Mary, the middle-aged Radiant Knight's heart was filled with indescribable humiliation.
This little Sorcerer's strength was far behind his, but with her terrifying agility that far surpassed that of a normal person, even a Grade 2 Knight like him could do nothing about it. Although the Radiant Knight's attack power was strong, there was nothing he could do if he could not hit his enemy!
While they were being delayed, the battle in the distant forest was nearing its end!
When the terrifying forest fire spread everywhere, the sound of the fireball's explosion began to gradually fade, and then it became silent.
On the many mountains, cliffs, and treetops in the forest far and near, countless pairs of eyes were silently watching the area where the battle had erupted. At the same time, countless sighs of sorrow sounded from the depths of the forest.
Grimm did not care at all about the spying from the outside world.
Above him were seven or eight Wind Breath Monsters floating in the air, and below him were more than ten Earth Demon Puppets moving freely underground. Nothing within a ten mile radius could escape Grimm's senses. It was precisely because of his extreme control of the battlefield that Grimm could fully utilize the Demon Puppet Army's advantage in group battles, and maintain extreme pressure on the enemies in a small area.
Apart from the necessary local mercenaries, the dozens of Knight squads that were scattered in the forest were either one Magic Breaker Knight and two Magic Hunter Knights, or two Magic Breaker Knights in a team. Occasionally, some Radiant Knights would mix in with the intention of luring the Sorcerers to attack.
This kind of combination was the best way to fight after half a month of bloody battles.
There were more than ten evil Sorcerers wandering in the forest, and they usually fought alone. Apart from the necessary servants and summoned creatures, it was rare to see two Sorcerers working together. The reason for this was probably because the Sorcerers did not trust each other, and it was difficult for them to work together.
However, once the Knight squads formed a team that the Sorcerers could not match, no matter how unwilling the Sorcerers were, they would still form a team to attack. Therefore, after a few bloody battles, the higher-ups of the Knight Squad had no choice but to split the Knight Squad into smaller squads and play a game of cat and mouse with the Sorcerers in the forest.
Most of the time, the Sorcerers were the cats, and the Knight Squad were the mice.
Every time they encountered a Sorcerer's sneak attack, the mercenaries in the team would die the fastest. As long as the Knights did not encounter the terrifying demons, they could rely on their powerful combat power to fight and retreat at the same time. Under normal circumstances, their lives would not be in danger.
However, if the attacking Sorcerers were unlucky and encountered a Radiant Knight hiding in the team, the position between the cat and the mouse would be reversed. That was how the three dead Sorcerers died in the hands of the Radiant Knights.
Therefore, the Sorcerers sent to intercept the enemy in the forest would either run fast, be unkillable, or have a good vision. As long as one of these could be taken care of, they would be able to keep their lives and not die in some dark corner.
Grimm, on the other hand, had many elemental sentinels and his unique flame teleportation ability. Therefore, he was like a fish in water in this murky and dangerous quagmire of war. He was doing very well and was very proud of himself.
When other Sorcerers discovered the Knight squads, they would have to carefully probe them repeatedly to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Radiant Knights. However, such caution could easily attract the attention of the target, turning a perfect hunt into a meaningless chase and slaughter.
The Knight squads cooperated with each other in the forest. Once they discovered that one of their comrades was being chased, the nearby squads would quickly rush over to rescue and support them. At that time, it would be the Sorcerers' turn to run!
Therefore, this kind of probing, counter-probing, pursuit, and counter-pursuit was often the most inefficient.
However, Grimm had many eyes and ears, and could follow two or three different Knight squads at the same time. No matter how well the Radiant Knights hidden in the enemy squads disguised themselves, they would eventually reveal some clues under the 360-degree surveillance.
Therefore, Grimm had enough time to pick out a target that he could swallow in one bite, then set up a trap to ambush them. Due to the lack of unnecessary probing and hesitation, Grimm, who went all out, was able to reap the greatest rewards every time.
The prey that he had set his eyes on had no chance of escaping, so he did not have to chase them. As long as he controlled the surrounding squads and made sure no one came to disturb him, the two Knights of Destruction would not be able to stop him.
If Grimm's Secret Scroll of Voodoo could be used at full strength once a day, and if he did not have to reserve half of his energy to deal with any changes, his killing speed would have been even faster.
