As the knight squad split up and advanced, the battle in the dense forest became more and more intense.
"Master, let me and Ken attack. I promise we'll kill all of them!" The one who spoke was Mary's most powerful subordinate, Blood Knight Winsol.
Before becoming a Blood Knight, Winsol seemed to be the most prestigious leader of the conservative faction among the Knights of Radiance. Unfortunately, at this moment, he had lost the glory and pride of a Knight of Radiance. He had become a loyal servant crawling in front of Mary.
Even at this moment, Blood Knight Winsol did not hesitate or hold back even if he had to raise the butcher's knife against his former comrades. On the contrary, in his blood-red eyes, Mary could see a trace of excitement because of the approaching Feast of Slaughter!
"Go, my warrior! Use the enemy's head to show off your bravery! " Mary blinked her crimson eyes that were as resplendent as rubies and ordered softly, "Apart from the two Radiant Knights, you can slaughter the rest!"
With Mary's charming and clear voice, the remaining half of the vampires immediately left their nest and followed a few Blood Knights into the horrifying battlefield that had suddenly become white-hot.
When the surroundings became quiet, the vampire Count Winsol, who had followed Mary since the beginning, appeared beside her.
Before becoming a vampire, Wenlier used to be the supreme ruler of Blue Hill City. However, in the camp of vampires that valued strength, these worldly identities were not worth mentioning at all. Therefore, in order to not lose Mary's favor, Count Winsol still abandoned his past identity and willingly became an inconspicuous low-level vampire by Mary's side.
In this team that valued bravery and strength, vampires like Winsol who had no talents and specialties were not valued at all. However, this was still not a problem for Winsol, who was born with foresight. After following Mary for less than half a month, he had become an indispensable "military counselor" by Mary's side with his excellent planning and ruthless methods.
Moreover, this old fox was quite good at hiding his strength.
When Winsol and the other Blood Knights clustered around Mary, he would hide far away and never reveal himself. Only when there was no one beside Mary would he come over and solve his master's problems with his extraordinary mind.
"How is it? Have you found any traces of the bug? "Mary asked without turning her head.
Ever since Mary discovered Venlier's incomparable talent, she assigned him more than ten low-level vampires. And it was because of these dozen or so subordinates that Wenlier quickly became Mary's most trusted spy leader and intelligence chief.
Dazzling lights burst out from the distant battlefield one after another, and small suns rose slowly in the forest. The ancient trees collapsed, and the sea of trees surged. Flocks of Vampire Bats dashed left and right in the dense forest, dodging the wild and violent energy.
Mary felt a tingle in her soul.
This was the soul backlash brought about by the destruction of her direct subordinate blood thralls.
It was obvious from this that the intensity of the battle in the depths of the forest was obvious, and it had already arrived at a state of life and death. But even so, Mary still stood proudly at the top of the ancient tree without the slightest intention of helping.
Being powerful was one way for a vampire to rise to power, but having many powerful blood thralls might also be another way to rise to power!
That 'partner' who had already returned to the Sorcerer World seemed to be an expert in creating powerful subordinates that saved him time and effort. Hence the saying, 'One is marked by the company one keeps'! For no reason, Mary also began to be infatuated with this barbaric fighting style of roaring in, roaring out, and madly ganging up on the enemy.
But Mary knew that she did not have the 'foresight' ability of that guy, so she placed all her trust and hope in this' cunning 'vampire who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She began to gradually increase the authority in his hands.
"Master, although the outer sentries did not find any traces of that bug, I'm sure that it is still lying in ambush around us." Wenlier turned into a gentle human noble, and used his clever brain to analyze the situation for Mary. "This is already the nest of the last batch of demon-hunting knights. If that bug does not want to miss the opportunity to strengthen its army, it will definitely fight with us for rations here. "
"Yes, continue!"
"That evil bug does not get along with you, Master, so it will definitely be on guard against you. Nibbling away at the enemy's small troops bit by bit is something that both of us will do. But if one of us can't help but attack the demon-hunting camp, I'm afraid that regardless of the outcome, the other party will attack from behind … "
"That's why I gave you so many people. Didn't I want you to find the bug's whereabouts in advance?"
"I'm afraid that will be very difficult!" Wenlier frowned and smiled bitterly. "Lord Evil Bug is the best at hiding. If it wants to hide underground and not come out, it will be very difficult to find it with just a dozen or so spies. "
"It's better if it doesn't come out. Then let it keep hiding in the dark! "Mary's bloody eyes narrowed, and she could not help but say proudly," We can take the opportunity to continue to grow stronger. Let's see how it can compete with me when it snowballs into a snowy mountain. "
"Master, we also have to be careful when we move." Wenlier could not help but worry. "I'm worried that Lord Evil Bug will very likely attract the demon-hunting knights to deal with us, and force us to fight it in advance!"
"Hmm, I understand!" Mary was no longer the unrestrained girl who fought recklessly. She thought for a moment after hearing Wenlier's words. "After this battle, the outer legions may suffer a lot of losses. But as long as one of the two Radiant Knights can survive The Embrace, we will still be on the winning side! After the battle, I will assign another 100 men from the outer legions to you. Keep an eye on that bug. Do not let it suddenly come out and disrupt my plan! Do you understand? "
"Yes!" Wenlier immediately bowed.
Just as the two were talking softly, the battle in the dense forest suddenly began to extend into the distance. It seemed that the Radiant Knight could no longer withstand the encirclement of the two level-2 Blood Knights and the many vampires, and was desperately trying to break out of the encirclement.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Mary brought Wenlier up into the sky, and abruptly transformed into two giant bats, one red and one grey. They flapped their wings and rushed into the forest.
When they were far away, a few of the bat subordinates hiding in the surrounding forest did not notice anything amiss. Only then did they crawl out of the bushes, tree holes, and bushes, flapping their wings as they chased after them.
The strange sounds of energy explosions rose and fell, extending into the distance.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour, the forest where the Bloody Witch Mary was once was once again quiet.
However, this silence did not last for more than a few minutes before it was broken by a new kind of strange sound.
The black soil around a tall ancient tree silently arched up into a huge mound. When the mound was more than a meter high, the top suddenly burst open, and countless terrifying bugs surged out from within.
These bugs were not big, each only the size of a fist. However, the black carapace on their bodies was shiny, and there was a faint magic aura shining on it.
After the black beetles crawled out of the wormhole, they did not scatter in all directions. Instead, they gathered together and bulged up in a crooked manner, forming a strange humanoid bug.
A moment later, the humanoid bug stabilized its body, and the countless wriggling beetles pieced together the hideous, malevolent face of the demonic bug Entich.
"Mary … Mary …" Entich's strange bug body emitted a deep insect hiss that made one's teeth ache and legs go weak. "Without that brat, do you think you're still a match for me?"
"You want to lure me out and kill me? Kekeke … How could I not want to devour your group of vampires and use your blood essence to nourish my great bug body that is about to take shape … "
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight … Hmm, I didn't expect you to have eight Magus rank vampire subordinates! However, compared to the great Entich, your strength is not even worth mentioning. Kekeke … "
Following Entich's sharp insect hiss, the black beetles that swarmed out of the wormhole became larger and larger. Among them, the number of Carrion Beetles with black shells, green wings, and livor mortis spots on their backs had already reached an astonishing 34.
These Carrion Beetles were no longer larvae like they used to be. After half a year of continuous nourishment, these 34 Carrion Beetles had all matured, and each of them had the battle strength of a Magus.
Although Entich's main body only had the strength of a newly advanced Magus, he was confident that he could defeat any elite Magus with this group of subordinates. Even if he were to face Grim again, he was confident that he would win!
"Grimm … Grimm … Haven't you always wanted to kill me? Then I'll first get rid of your accomplice. Then I'll go to the Magus World to look for you! Kekeke … "
Entich closed his eyes and carefully checked the eyes and ears of the flying insects that he had set up in the distance. He unexpectedly discovered two 'fish that had escaped the net' that had just escaped. One of them was the prey that he had been drooling over — the Radiant Knight.
He couldn't help but be overjoyed by this discovery!
Under the command of his strange insect hisses, thousands of black beetles converged into a black torrent as if they were moving their arms and fingers. They poured back into the broken wormhole and quickly approached the target through the insect tunnel dug out from underground.
In the blink of an eye, not a single beetle could be seen in the forest that had been like a terrifying insect nest.
… …
Thirty miles away, at a mountain stream.
Amidst the cheerful flowing sounds of the clear stream, two tall figures with tattered clothes and bloodstains crawled out of the stream. They lay prone on the overgrown shore, gasping for breath.
In the distant forest, there were countless black figures circling quickly, as if searching for something. The two were slightly alarmed, and once again submerged their bodies into the ice-cold water, leaving only their eyes and nostrils above the water, silently monitoring the movements in the distance.
Relying on the ice-cold water to cool off their body temperature, these Vampire Bats that had a keen sense of smell for humans lost track of the two. After searching for a long time without finding anything, they could only rustle and disappear into the forest in the distance.
"Wait a while more! We'll go out when they're far away! "The Radiant Knight named Soros ordered softly.
Sim, whose body was covered in wounds, could only endure the pain and continue soaking in the water.
The surrounding forest gradually quietened down.
It was getting quieter and quieter, so much so that the two of them began to feel fear!
