Compared to the many strange methods of the wizards, the killing methods of the knights in this world were too primitive and crude.
Even though the magic-breaking knights were of the same rank as the sorcerers and were not too far apart in terms of strength, looking at the battlefield, one would realize that other than the Flame Blade, Cross Explosion Slash, Half Moon Slash, and a few other combat techniques, they did not have any other means to restrain the sorcerers.
On the other hand, the sorcerers had a dazzling array of strange sorcery and all sorts of unimaginable killing techniques. When combined, they could easily beat the magic-breaking knights half to death.
The difference in strength between creatures of the same rank in a higher plane and a lower plane was simply astounding!
Left with no choice, the eleven Radiant Knights could only split up and attack. Each of them killed a sorcerer and chased after them. This effectively prevented the sorcerers from hunting, but it also divided their strongest force.
When all the Radiant Knights were lured away, the large number of hidden spell formations in the battlefield began to operate.
As a result, on the ground, the corrosive acid swamps, the smoky poisonous wetlands, the blood-sucking forest where the vampiric vines spread freely, the quicksand traps with piles of mud and stone pillars … These terrifying places of death appeared one after another, almost occupying every part of the mountain forest.
Many sorcerers and ghouls even made use of these special areas to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Demon-Hunter Knights. Once the Demon-Hunter Knights were lured into these areas, there was almost no one who could escape alive.
A Radiant Knight had once entered the Vampire Forest in order to save a small team of more than ten knights, but he encountered the most terrifying scene there.
Countless vampiric vines that drilled out from the depths of the ground danced in the wind, curling up vines with a faint metallic luster as they attacked him from all directions. Moreover, each vine was covered with terrifying thorns, and one could even see the terrifying mouth of a lotus petal at the tip of the vine.
Braving the danger of death, the Radiant Knight managed to escape in a sorry state. When he came out, there were still a few tentacles on his armor that had been chopped off. These tentacles were still twisting, and the sharp thorns scraped against the armor, making creaking sounds. As for the demonic colt beneath the Radiant Knight, it was drenched in the terrifying green juice. Green smoke rose from the corrosive acid, accompanied by a pungent stench.
The leader of the knights, Winsol, raised his head and looked at the distant battlefield. He saw with his own eyes that seven to eight Demon Hunters had accidentally entered the Acid Swamp while they were chasing a group of Wizard Beasts. Half of the members were careless and fell into it. Together with their demonic steeds, they were corroded into charred skeletons in the blink of an eye. The remaining members were pounced on by the Ghouls, and the two sides began a bloody battle to the death.
The forest was also filled with poisonous fog. When a squad of Demon Hunters barged into it, they could only vaguely hear angry roars and roars, as well as the roars of ferocious beasts, but they couldn't see anything inside. Naturally, the team of Demon Hunter Knights didn't appear in front of everyone again.
The Lands of Absolute Death were like death traps that devoured people without spitting out their bones. Any Demon Hunter Knight who barged in would not be able to escape unscathed. They had also divided the vast forest into many fragmented battlefields, making it difficult for the Demon Hunter Knights to gather into an army and launch a tide-like charge!
"Sir, what do you think?" Winsol turned his head to look at the great Holy Knight Willis, feeling sorry for them.
"Get them to continue advancing. Make sure to avoid the dangerous areas of the enemy. No matter what, we must destroy the enemy's Wizard Tower! I will get the Dragon Knights to cooperate with you. " Willis's majestic body stood tall on the green dragon Ophirel's back as he answered without hesitation.
"Then I will lead the troops from the front. Thank you for taking care of this place, sir! "
It had only been an hour of battle, but there were already five to six hundred Demon Hunters who had fallen in this forest. Their sacrifices were only exchanged for two to three times the number of Wizard Beasts and Ghouls.
As for those evil Wizards, they were like venomous snakes hiding in a dark cave. They could not find the best opportunity to attack, so they kept lying in wait. When you suddenly saw them, you would only see their disappearing silhouettes after killing them.
Seeing this scene, Winsol, who had been holding the line at the back, could not take it anymore. He led the one thousand five hundred Demon Hunters to the battlefield.
Behind them, the Holy Knight Willis raised his head and let out a strange deep roar. Amidst the roar, the three green dragons that were hiding in the forest at the back soared into the sky. They carried the Dragon Knights on their backs and spread their wide membranous wings. They quickly flew through the forest and pounced on the witchcraft traps on the battlefield.
Every time they flew past those areas, they would open their mouths and spit out a thick dragon's breath. The thick green poisonous dragon's breath sank into the acid swamp and the poisonous fog, plowing through everything inside.
Countless Magi Beasts ran out from inside, their bodies wrapped in wisps of green poisonous mist. Before they could run far, the terrifying poison took their lives. One by one, the Wizard Beasts fell silently into the forest, their bodies quickly rotting and disintegrating. The scene was unbearable to watch.
Ghouls were undead creatures and were immune to poison-type attacks. They nimbly climbed to the top of the trees and continuously jumped from the branches, attempting to climb onto the green dragons that were flying through the sky and drag them down.
Unfortunately, they rarely succeeded. Most of them were blown away by the strong wind brought by the green dragons. Even if there were some who succeeded, they would be sliced into two by the Dragon Knights on the green dragons' backs.
The green dragons continuously dove, dragon's breath, pulled up, dove again, dragon's breath again, pulled up again …
After two to three rounds of this, the Wizard Formation hidden in the land of death was finally destroyed. Some of the witchcraft traps started losing their effectiveness, and the forest returned to normal. But the white bones and charred remains left in the empty space in the forest clearly showed the terrifying scene that had happened here!
…
Inside the War Wizard's Pagoda.
More than a dozen wizards were busily working.
But they were not panicking. Each of them was commanding a large group of Mechanical Beasts, working hard to complete the last part of the construction of the Wizard's Pagoda.
The battle at the frontlines was already in full swing!
The Wizard Beasts that the Wizard Camp had painstakingly accumulated over the past half a month had all been used up. While the elite Ghouls were powerful, they did not have enough numbers and could not hold up on such a large battlefield.
Left with no choice, the Wizards at the frontlines could only use the Wizard Formation that they had set up beforehand to barely stop the enemy's advance. But with the Giant Dragon team's relentless dragon's breath, these Wizard Formations were starting to get damaged. The situation on the battlefield was getting worse by the day!
The battlefield had already spread from five miles away from the Wizard Camp to two miles away. A few Demon Hunters had already barged into the area of the camp. Even though they were also killed by the guards of the camp, this showed that time was of the essence.
An hour, or half an hour?
If they could not complete the construction of the Wizard's Pagoda before the large group of Demon Hunters swarmed into the camp, then the fragile Wizard's Pagoda would not be able to withstand the attack of the Giant Dragons!
Therefore, when the alarm from the frontline rang out one after another, all the wizards from the family put in 120% of their energy and worked hard.
In a secret room within the Pagoda, a male and female Level 3 Wizards were standing in front of Wizard Salubo's projection, discussing softly.
"Sir Salubo, let us go out and hold them off! As long as we devour one or two Giant Dragons, we should be able to slow down their advance. That way, we can buy a little more time for the Wizard's Pagoda! " The one speaking was a female Wizard in a green robe. Her face was hidden in a layer of green fog, making it impossible to see her face clearly. But when she said the word "devour", the greed and urgency in her tone was evident.
Even though the Wizard in a purple robe standing on the other side did not hide himself, the eerie purple eyes that covered his entire body were exceptionally frightening. On his exposed neck, face, and hands, there were countless slightly blinking purple eyes. These eyes were obviously not some kind of decoration, but something that actually existed.
When they opened at the same time, rolling their eyeballs and peering in all directions, anyone would feel their hairs stand on end, and their hearts would involuntarily feel a sense of reverence!
"That's right, Sir Salubo. Let Sana and I go out and fight for a while. It shouldn't be a problem to exterminate those Green Dragons! "It was rare for the Purple-Eyed Wizard to speak up in agreement with his companion.
"No! Both of you focus too much on physical strength, and your analysis of the laws of the Mutated Dimension has yet to be completed. Under the restrictions of the laws of the dimension, how much power can you use? "The projection finally opened its eyes and asked coldly.
The Purple-Eyed Wizard furrowed his brows and answered uncertainly, "About 45%!"
The other Wizard in a purple robe also forced a smile, "I can only use 35% of my power!"
"Hmph …" The projection said disdainfully, "This bit of power will only allow you to reach the peak of level 2. It might not be a problem to deal with a few small Dragons, but if you reveal your strength, that level 4 Holy Knight will have to go all out! "
"Sir, they're already here, why aren't they going all out? What is that Willis waiting for? "The Purple-Eyed Wizard asked, puzzled.
"Hehehe … Do you think he doesn't want to fight? I'm the one who's shocking him! Ever since he stepped into the forest, I've split a shred of my mental will to suppress his mind. This will make him feel an inexplicable sense of fear, but he can't find the reason. It's precisely because of this that he's become so conservative and passive. Otherwise, if he brought the Giant Dragons straight to the War Wizard's Pagoda at the start of the battle, do you think the two of you would be able to block his attacks? "
The two level 3 Wizards looked at each other, the respect in their hearts even more intense.
To be able to plant a Seed of Will in the mind of a level 4 Dimensional Expert without letting the other party notice, and indirectly influence the other party's important decisions … This kind of ability was simply too unimaginable!
