The flames of war in the forest were getting closer and closer!
A few areas had already been breached. Atop their Demonic Colts, the Demon Hunter Knights wielding their dazzling longswords appeared at the edge of the Wizard Camp, engaging in a life and death battle with the Wizard Beasts, Mechanical Beasts, and Ghouls that were guarding the area.
If not for the large number of Wizard Traps set up around the camp, the hordes of Demon Hunter Knights might have already swarmed into the camp and started attacking the War Wizard's Pagoda.
But even so, as the flames of war gradually reached the base of the Wizard's Pagoda, the space left for the Wizards to move about became smaller and smaller. Gradually, the last batch of resistance gathered in front of the main entrance of the Wizard's Pagoda. The thirteen Wizards who had sworn to defend the area with their lives were guarding it, not retreating an inch.
On this flat battlefield that was less than five hundred meters wide, there were up to three hundred Summoned Beasts and Puppet Beasts of various types. As for the lower level Wizard Beasts and Mechanical Beasts, they had all been slaughtered by the Demon Hunter Knights.
And the forest around the Wizard's Pagoda had suffered even more destructive attacks. There was a continuous sea of fire and ferocious natural storms everywhere. The ferocious flames could not be extinguished once they were ignited. In the blink of an eye, the forest within a ten-mile radius was engulfed in a sea of fire.
Teams of Demon Hunter Knights swarmed out of the forest and began to gather around the perimeter of the camp.
Their faces and bodies still had traces of being licked by the intense flames, and their armor still had fine scratches left by Wind Daggers. Even though they had paid a heavy price to pass through this terrifying area, they still advanced with the hope of victory and their hatred for the Wizards, finally arriving at the base of the terrifying Wizard's Pagoda.
The Demon Hunter Knights gathered in groups of twos and threes, reorganizing their troops. Nine Radiant Knights led the charge, leading the less than four thousand Demon Hunter Knights toward the last line of defense of the Wizards.
Turning back to look at the path they had come from!
In this forest, in a narrow area less than five miles wide, the army of knights had sacrificed the lives of two Radiant Knights, thirty-three Spell Breaker Knights, and over two thousand Demon Hunter Knights. Such a heavy price was simply beyond everyone's imagination!
The rugged mountainous forest had become a burial ground. Mutilated corpses of knights and broken Demonic Colts could be seen everywhere. Now, as the mountain fire spread, everything was devoured by the raging flames!
Truth be told, if it weren't for the Green Dragon Squad and the Dragon Knights swooping down from the sky and destroying half of the sorcerers' setup, the Demon Hunter Knights would have suffered even more casualties!
Compared to the sacrifices of the knights, in this forest, there were also two Magi who had crossed planes and fallen forever!
This meant that the number of Magi the Salubo Family had sent to the Knight's Plane had reached seven. This … this was getting closer and closer to the psychological bottom line of the upper echelons of the family! If they lost more than 9 Magi, even if the family took over the plane, they wouldn't be able to develop it quickly.
After all, the foundation of the Sorcerer World needed Sorcerers, and the two Secondary Planes also needed Sorcerers. In the short term, drawing out the main forces of a plane to engage in a planar war would not have too much of an impact on the local situation. However, if the main forces of the family were pinned down in a certain area for a long period of time, or if they lost too much of their strength, the ruling structure of the entire family would become unstable.
If they succeeded in invading the Knight's Plane, the Salubo Family might be able to get rich returns every year, but they needed a lot of power to maintain their rule. It was the same for the other two Secondary Planes. If the main forces of the family left for too long, and the natives there heard the news and started a new wave of resistance, it would not be worth it!
Hence, when the two Magi died in battle under the sneak attack of the Dragon Knights, the upper echelons of the family finally decided to retreat and defend the Wizard's Pagoda.
At this moment, the construction of the Wizard's Pagoda had pinned down 11 Magi, and there were only 13 Magi left to defend the Wizard's Pagoda, including the Level 2 Wizard Forgan.
At the front of the team was a group of Magi with powerful bodies, with three Body Tempering Wizards as the main force, and a large group of summoned creatures to support them. Grim and Wizard Hyde, as they also had decent bodies after their transformation, were spread out on both sides to support the defense.
Most of the Magi stayed within the protective circle, continuously throwing powerful spells with large area of effect into the dense forest of knights. Most of the Magi who were not adept in combat also took on a special Wizard Profession, either throwing out large amounts of potions to summon creatures with strange abilities, or pulling out bags of Wizard Scrolls, crazily throwing them at the heads of the knights.
Two Magi who were adept in Curse Spells started casting spells in a frenzy, throwing colorful Curse Halos at the area where the knights were most concentrated.
When the demon hunters at the front line were only thirty meters away from the sorcerer, their bodies were shrouded by colorful and disgusting curses. Not only did they feel dizzy and weak, but they also felt as if they were covered in a thick layer of mud. Their movements became abnormally slow.
Even the most violent charge of the knights was reduced to a comical slow-motion.
All kinds of terrifying Magical Plants sprouted from the ground, curling around, piercing, or sucking blood … It was a huge problem for the Demon Hunter Knights who were struggling to advance!
The Demon Hunter Knights at the back were blocked, so they could only put away their swords and switched to their Rune Bows. Flame and Frost Arrows rained down on the area defended by the Magi.
Normally, such attacks with weak elemental damage would not have posed any threat to the Magi. However, the Magi were outnumbered, and the Magi were severely weakened.
Hence, the three Anatomy Refinery Sorcerers expanded their bodies into terrifying giants, leaping forward and smashing every Demon Hunter Knight that entered their line of sight into minced meat. At the same time, they put up a protective barrier to block the Magi's unconventional long-range attacks.
The Anatomy Refinery Sorcerers were powerful, and they might be able to withstand such a dense and continuous attack, but the Blood Giants, Creeping Monsters, Rock Golems, Evil Eyes, and other summoned creatures that were clustered around them couldn't withstand it. One by one, they fell to the ground with their bodies pierced by arrows and disappeared.
Soon, the courageous demon hunters weaved their way through the witchcraft traps with their bodies of flesh and blood, barging into the defensive circle of the sorcerers and engaging them in close combat.
The three Anatomy Refinery Sorcerers defended the front, while Grim was assigned to the left.
Here, he alone had to defend a line of defense that was nearly 70 meters wide. His Magi Legion had been completely destroyed in the Forest of Death. Now, the only ones that could stand in front of him were the Flame Lord, the Lightning Giant, and the two Quasi Sorcerers.
Once upon a time, the Lightning Giant was Grim's main Magi. However, as he became a Magi, these Quasi Sorcerers could no longer keep up with him. Even if they occasionally appeared on the battlefield, they had already become expendable.
However, no matter how difficult the situation was, he was still in a much better situation than Wizard Hyde on the other side.
No matter what, Grim still had four subordinates to share the pressure, while Wizard Hyde had to defend such a wide battlefield all by himself.
If he did not have a mechanical body, as long as his mental strength was not depleted, he would have endless physical strength. If it were any other Magi, they would have died of exhaustion just running back and forth to kill the Magi.
In the Forest of Death, if they encountered an opponent that they could not defeat, they could still run, fly, or directly change the battlefield. But here, even if there was a small team of Magic-Breaking Knights, they could only grit their teeth and defend their position with their lives.
As for reinforcements? As long as there were no Knights of Light, the rank 2 Wizard Forgan would never make a move!
Therefore, Grim had the chance to admire Wizard Hyde's heroic appearance.
Based on the nature of a Wizard, Hyde must have hidden some of his strength. However, when a team of 5 Magic-Breaking Knights was right in front of him, it would be very difficult for him to hide his strength, unless he was tired of living.
In the next second, Wizard Hyde turned into a giant octopus with more than 10 thick metal tentacles. Apart from his head and a small part of his body that was still in the center, the rest of his body parts quickly assembled into horrifying metal pointed tentacles, which swept towards the few Magic-Breaking Knights like a storm.
It was no wonder that the Thunderbird respectfully addressed him as Boss Hyde. Sure enough, he possessed terrifying power far beyond that of ordinary people in close combat. Under Grim's shocked gaze, this Boss Hyde cut the 5 attacking Magic-Breaking Knights into pieces.
And the price he paid was merely a light injury!
Of the 12 metal tentacles, 3 were cut off, and 2 had different degrees of damage. When Wizard Hyde returned to his human form from his octopus form, a large portion of his body was damaged. The countless rapidly rotating gears and bearings in his body also let out creaking noises, as if even their operation had become less efficient.
At this moment, Grim's good luck finally came to an end!
A Radiant Knight, 2 Magic-Breaking Knights, and nearly a hundred Demon Hunters appeared in front of him, screaming as they rushed towards him. At this moment, the rank 2 Wizard Forgan was fighting with the 2 Knights of Radiance right in front of the formation. Even the 3 body refinement wizards had silently retreated from that area.
Since the battlefield was small, Grim could not create a wide enough lava pool with his Flame Demon form, and his magic puppets were not enough to defend against such a powerful team.
