Five sorcerers dared to challenge seven Radiant Knights, 32 Spellbreaker Knights, and nearly a thousand Demon Hunters?
Of course not!
However, the sorcerers still sneered in disdain at the many knights that were gathering.
This was the natural disdain that spellcasters had for fighters!
If this were a duel, the five sorcerers would not be able to defeat a Radiant Knight even if they joined forces. However, sorcerers were strong in their terrifying mobility and strange sorcery. As long as they had a large strategic space to maneuver, even a Level 1 sorcerer would not be afraid of a group of Radiant Knights.
Although the magic colts under the Radiant Knights had good survival skills and leaping and climbing abilities, they could not compare to Magi in terms of speed.
The Radiant Knights had powerful close-range combat abilities, but they could not keep the vampire-like evil sorcerers at a distance of a hundred miles. If the Radiant Knights charged at them, the sorcerers would definitely scatter like birds and beasts, maintaining a distance as they tried to lure them into the depths of the forest.
However, if they were to pursue them relentlessly, the group of Demon Hunters behind them would become the targets of other sorcerers' sneak attacks.
It had to be said that in this primitive forest with complicated terrain and harsh environment, it was difficult for the Demon Hunters to fully utilize most of their advantages. On the contrary, the sorcerers, who were free and could come and go as they pleased, had the biggest home advantage. They could attack at any time, and escape at the slightest sign of danger.
As for the large number of wizard beasts scattered in the forest, even if they were slaughtered by the knights, the sorcerers would not feel the pinch. Sometimes, the sorcerers would even deliberately send hundreds or thousands of wizard beasts to their deaths, just to create a chance for themselves to launch a sneak attack.
Hence, when the Radiant Knights saw that there were quite a number of evil Magi moving around the side of the team, they could only chase them away, not daring to pursue them too much. The Radiant Knight who died in battle last night was enough to prove that there was a powerful existence hidden among the evil sorcerers that could kill a Level 2 knight.
Any Radiant Knight who acted alone would no longer be as safe and worry-free as before!
…
Looking at the Demon Hunters who had gathered in a row, the sorcerers' expressions did not look good.
It was definitely not a problem to ambush a few Demon Hunters. However, once the enemy gathered into an army, the risk that they would have to bear to launch a sneak attack would be difficult to estimate.
"Any instructions from the camp?" Wizard Felicia, who had a pair of wings of wind on her back and was wrapped in a layer of wind particles, asked in a deep voice, "You don't want us to attack an enemy team that has the protection of the Knights of Light, do you?"
The sorcerers nearby and far away nodded in agreement. It was obvious that they were wary of the upcoming battle.
Grimm quietly looked around. He found that the wizards who agreed were the same as Felicia. They belonged to some of the more obscure professions. There were no combat wizards among them.
Feryl walked the path of an Arcane Sorcerer, and her research direction was focused on potions. If it wasn't for the fact that she also had some wind spells, she was afraid that a Sorcerer like her who didn't focus on combat would be the first to die in the plane battlefield.
As for the rest, they either focused on illusions or spell formations. Like Felicia, they were not good at fighting on the battlefield. Forcing them onto the battlefield was a waste of their talents!
However, the Sarubo Family was currently short on manpower. If they wanted to take down the Knights' Plane in a short period of time, they would not be able to do so with just a small number of combat wizards. Therefore, with the mandatory conscription order, these Arcane Sorcerers who spent most of their time in witchcraft laboratories had no choice but to step onto the battlefield. For the sake of the family, for the sake of their own lives, they had to fight with all their might!
Although they did not gain much in the first half month of fighting in the forest, their very existence was a huge hindrance to the Demon Hunters. Therefore, combat wizards like Grimm, Mary, the demonic worm, Puppet, and Thunderbird were able to find an opening and launch surprise attacks, taking the opportunity to kill many of the Spell Breaker Knights.
Among the five wizards gathered together, Puppet was undoubtedly the closest to the Tier-2 Wizard Forgan. Therefore, everyone could not help but look at him.
"There's no need … to fight … to … delay … until dark … the camp … has a move …"
The lignification of Puppet's flesh had obviously affected his throat. Not only was his voice hoarse and dry, but the way he spoke was especially unbearable. However, the meaning behind his words was simple and clear, which made everyone feel slightly relieved.
They were all Sorcerers with many tricks up their sleeves. Now that they had a clear plan of battle, they could naturally come up with a plan.
"We can't let them gather together so easily!" Grimm took a step forward and said coldly, "Help me hold them off for thirty seconds. I'm going to disrupt the order of their formation!"
Without waiting for an answer, Grimm threw out a crystal core to summon the Lord of the Flames. His body then expanded, and flames erupted as he quickly transformed into a Balrog.
Grimm, who had transformed into a Balrog, stood side by side with the Lord of the Flames. They started chanting forceful incantations. Under their joint efforts, the clear sky was quickly covered by the gathering of fiery clouds.
The fire clouds were about an acre in size, rolling and vibrating in the sky, casting a dark red hue over half of the sky. Bubbles of red lava the size of washbasins swelled in the fire clouds. As more and more fire and earth elements gathered, the fire clouds could no longer bear the weight of the bubbles.
Thus, it only took twenty-three fingers to form a large-scale Meteor Shower.
As the first bubble burst, a lava ball the size of a human head with fire elements in it fell towards the forest where the Demon Hunters were gathered, dragging a long tail of black smoke behind it.
Then came the second one, the third one …
Up in the sky, black and red fireballs swayed and fell one after another, leaving scorch marks in the air that did not dissipate even after a long time!
"Damn it … these evil Sorcerers!" The Radiant Knight with white hair and beard ordered loudly, "Musel, you lead the team and leave first. Regroup as you move. Don't let the team get separated by the enemy's wizard beasts! Collier, Arnes, the two of you attack with me. Let's slaughter that Magus kid who's not afraid of death … "
As the orders were passed down, the team of Knights that were gathered in the forest finally moved out. The one leading the team was Musel, who was holding the flag of the Demon Hunters high up in the sky.
At this moment, the first batch of fiery meteors had already reached the top of the trees.
"Fire …"
Following a series of loud shouts, rune arrows were shot out one after another, exploding the falling meteors above the treetops. Even if there were some that slipped through the net, the Spell-Breaking Knights who rushed over on horseback would swing their swords, and a terrifying Flame Blade slashed out, splitting the core of the fiery meteors into two.
The fiery meteor exploded into a rain of fire and scorching lava. But without the powerful physical lethality, the remaining flames were not enough to threaten the safety of the demon hunters. One by one, the Demon Hunters raised their left hands up high, using their energy shields to block the raining flames. They patted their magic colts and quickly retreated from the area.
Under the leadership of their temporary leader, Charles, two Radiant Knights spurred their magic colts with all their might, charging towards the Fire Demon that was still in the channeling stage of witchcraft.
To powerful knights like them, a distance of one and a half miles was but a matter of seconds.
Seeing the three Radiant Knights charging towards them, the other four Sorcerers looked at each other. Even though they were unwilling, they could only grit their teeth and stop them.
Puppet was the first to act.
In just a flash, his stiff body had already appeared beside the three Radiant Knights who were galloping at full speed. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hands from under his black robe, and the ends of his hands, which were covered in strange wooden patterns, pierced out countless thin threads like spider silk.
With his attack power, it was pure wishful thinking to ambush the Radiant Knights. Hence, the target of the threads was not the Radiant Knights on horseback, but the magic colts they were riding.
Thousands of wooden threads scattered all over the sky. Although they looked weak and fragile, once they came into contact with a human body, they could easily penetrate it, even ignoring the armor on the target's body.
The leading Knight, Charles, snorted angrily, and the rune sword in his hand shone brightly. Immediately after, a wide and terrifying Half Moon Slash shot out, the sharp tip of the blade aimed at Puppet's chest.
A Level 2 Radiant Knight attacked with all his might. The momentum and power of the attack naturally exceeded the limits of a Level 1 Sorcerer's personal defense.
As soon as the Half Moon Slash left the longsword, Puppet looked down in horror and found that a faint white mark had appeared on his chest, which was covered in circles of wooden patterns. This white mark gave him a heavy sense of oppression, to the extent that it had already cut through his skin and started to penetrate his body.
As for Puppet, he felt as if his soul had been locked on by the other party, and that the Half Moon Slash would almost certainly hit him.
This was clearly an illusion, but Marionette believed it without a doubt!
"Damn it!" Puppet roared in his heart, "This is the power of faith!"
The energy crazily surging into the wooden threads became more and more violent. Suddenly, more energy threads spread out from each of the wooden thorns, covering the sky and earth as they surged towards the three magic colts. Puppet himself quickly retreated, his body suddenly crashing into a tall ancient tree and disappearing in an instant.
Most of the wooden thorns and energy threads that filled the sky were dispersed by the violent energy of the three Radiant Knights, but there were still a few that pierced into the magic colts. The three magic colts let out mournful cries, and their galloping figures suddenly slowed down.
The terrifying Half Moon Slash spun in the air and with a speed as fast as a clap of thunder, it chopped down the tall ancient tree that the puppet was hiding in. Then, with a burst of energy, it exploded into sawdust that filled the sky.
Amidst the violent coughing sounds, the puppet staggered and fell out of another tall ancient tree a hundred meters away. Countless fine cracks appeared all over its body, and with the slightest movement, wood shavings would fall to the ground. Puppet supported himself against the ancient tree and struggled to stand up. He raised his head and looked at the Radiant Knight with resentment.
Sticky green snakes of blood slowly flowed out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. His appearance could be said to be extremely tragic.
With the strength of a Level 1 Magus, Puppet being able to escape with heavy injuries was already an extraordinary feat for a Level 2 Radiant Knight! If it were any other Magus, they would not even have the chance to escape.
