The advancement of the Demon Hunter Knights in the woodland is extremely difficult!
With the footsteps of the magic horse, if you let go of the constraints and run with all your strength, thirty or forty miles an hour will never be a problem. But in that case, the formation of nearly a thousand demon hunter knights would undoubtedly become very loose. If they were attacked by the many witch beasts patrolling around, the whole team would instantly become disorganized and scattered.
Besides, the only ones in the team who could stand alone were the seven glorious knights. Although there were many demon hunter knights, in the eyes of the wizards, they were just floating delicacies. The law-breaker knights can also fight against the evil wizards together, but if they are alone, they will attract many evil wolves every minute.
In order to keep the team compact, under the restraint of the Radiant Knights, many demon hunter knights had to slow down and walk through the jungle in a posture that was almost a leisurely walk.
All the creatures in the Greenland forest have disappeared, and all of them have been transformed by wizards into scary witches, large and small. In addition, some witchcraft traps hidden in the jungle also caused a lot of trouble for the team to move forward!
Quicksand traps and gravity traps are not bad, but those fireball traps, acid traps, and poison cloud traps are also deadly to demon hunter knights.
Horror wizards have taken their wicked wits to the limit!
The witchcraft traps were planted by them on the only way for the knights, and the triggering methods were all kinds of strange.
Some traps are buried in the ground, and when the stone above is touched, a small fireball will fly out of the ground. It's not very powerful, but it's not a problem to roast a demon hunter knight and a magic horse into coke. Some traps were set up on branches extending three or four meters above the ground, and when the hanging vines were pulled, a cloud of highly corrosive acid would rain down on them.
There are also poisonous cloud traps whose trigger conditions are particularly weird. Only when a certain amount of life breath approaches it will it explode with a bang.
Therefore, when the follow-up demon hunter knights drove the magic horses slowly passing by, they always saw charred corpses on both sides of the road, some corpses whose heads had been eroded into hornet's nests, and companions whose bodies were dyed in strange colors …
The dead comrades were placed on the side of the road, prayed and continued on the road. However, those companions who were seriously injured or dying or were poisoned could not be simply abandoned like this.
With the drag of these injuries, the Cavaliers moved more slowly.
From time to time, there would be loud shouts from patrolling knights from the periphery. Whenever this time, there will always be some inexplicable and weird witchcraft that will fall into the team from the sky. Or a low-level lava fireball, or a horrible cloud of poison, or a huge acid swamp...
Most of the witchcraft was blown up by multiple rune arrows in the air, and even if there were occasional fish that slipped through the net, they would be destroyed by the magic-breaking knights rushing over with their flame blades. Although the harm they brought was not that great, it made all the knights feel tense all the time. When perched on the magic horse and walking through the forest, their vigilant eyes were always turning around the bushes, tree crowns, and gravel piles.
Even in the middle of the team, it may not be so safe.
Because there will always be witch beasts who are good at concealment from time to time, pounced out from the dense canopy or messy pile of rubble. If they were unprepared for a while and were scratched by their black and filthy claws, even with the physique of a witcher knight, it would be difficult to resist the biological toxins carefully modified by evil wizards.
An ordinary jungle road of less than 20 miles had forced them to walk for 2 hours, and the number of non-combat casualties had reached as many as 16. Especially those seven or eight companions who were infected with the poison, they could only tie them to the magic horse, and reluctantly moved forward with the team.
When the red sun rose high and the time came to the afternoon, new problems appeared again.
They were a lone army, holding the strong belief that they would not turn back until they found the enemy's lair, so they rushed into the Greenland forest without hesitation. Therefore, each member of the Knights only carried three days of rations and drinking water when they set off.
If it's just a simple adventure trip, such equipment is enough for them to search this vast and deep forest of nearly 200 square kilometers. But now after continuous brutal fighting and bloody killings, the rations may be enough, but the drinking water is obviously overdrawn too quickly.
What's even more frightening is that along the way, they discovered angrily that almost all drinking streams and springs had been occupied by undead creatures emitting pale yellow plague clouds. This also means that all surface water sources are heavily polluted and undrinkable!
People are not machines, and it is impossible to maintain a high-intensity alert and combat readiness for a long time. Although the physique of the demon hunter knight was several times that of ordinary people, after five or six hours of brutal fighting and trekking, his physical strength inevitably fell to the bottom.
As a last resort, the senior knights set up camp on a high hill, so that the tired knights could have a safe place to rest. And many law-breaker knights are in groups of three or four, forming patrol teams to wander in the nearby forests to prevent those nasty wizards from coming to make trouble.
As for the 7 glorious knights, they gathered in a temporary small tent and discussed the follow-up action plan intensely.
The evil wizard's lair is located in the southern part of this vast and deep 200-kilometer Greenland forest. After bloody investigations at all costs, the witcher knights have already wiped out nearly half of the suspicious locations with their lives. Then, in front of the seven glorious knights was a vast forest with an area of nearly a hundred square kilometers.
The glorious knights who can sit here basically belong to those radicals who are particularly fanatical and hate evil. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to bear the piecemeal detection method before, and in anger, they rushed into the forest without hesitation.
According to their previous plan, regardless of the scattered wizards in the edge of the forest, the army rushed forward, rushing into the core area of the forest like a bamboo. Then set up a camp there, and disperse the people in all directions. It is absolutely easy to find the enemy's lair.
In this way, even if there are casualties, it will be much smaller than sending excellent law-breaker knights and teams of excellent demon hunting knights to the enemy to slaughter!
It has to be said that the evil people who have been suppressed in the knight plane have deeply engraved the image of the caster's weakness and cowardice in the hearts of all the witcher knights, including the high-level knights who have never described the invading evil wizards. Treat it as an enemy of life and death.
In their view, this is a group of insidious and cunning people who are good at hiding and sneak attacking. As long as they destroy their foundation in one fell swoop, they will be like a group of rats that explode their nests, only knowing to hide in a hurry, and it will be difficult to organize any large-scale resistance!
In essence, this group of radical shining knights treated the invading evil wizards in such a simple and violent way, which was really the most suitable and quickest method. It's just that they overestimated the strength of their own side, and underestimated the methods of the wizards too much.
If they can build up an army, if they can gather all the powerhouses of the plane, then the simplest and most violent method is undoubtedly the best method.
It's a pity that the absence of powerhouses above Tier 3, coupled with the split of the knights caused by the outbreak of their own conflicts, these two points have greatly weakened the combat strength of their lone army.
Therefore, when this group of glorious knights gathered together to discuss the next step fiercely, the counterattack from the wizard camp had already arrived.
In the afternoon, hordes of terrifying witches and beasts had completely surrounded the hills where the knights lived. Then, driven by the evil wizard, hordes of witches and beasts broke into the cordon set up by the knights, and started a brutal and bloody slaughter with them.
Nuoda's forest, a loose line of defense stretching for two or three miles, seven brilliant knights led many law-breaker knights, each occupying one side, determinedly and tenaciously wiped out waves of terrifying witch beasts that came. And above Gao Gang, it became a temporary wounded and sick camp. Those witcher knights who were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting were all sent here, waiting for treatment.
Due to the lack of necessary means of treatment, the only means of rescue for the demon hunter knights who temporarily acted as rescuers was to use a dagger to goug out the rotten or dead muscles, wash the wound with a lot of water, and then bandage it up.
This method may be useful for ordinary skin injuries, but most of the wounded knights in the camp were attacked by witch beast minions infected with the plague virus. Before expulsion of the plague toxin raging in the knight's body, their wounds will not only fail to heal, but will worsen and fester over time.
This is all due to the strong and strong bodies of the demon hunter knights. If they were replaced by ordinary human warriors, their blood would have coagulated and their flesh would have rotted to death. However, they could still fight against the epidemic virus tenaciously. But this also prolongs their painful struggle in disguise!
The witch beast's attack continued from the afternoon until the sky gradually darkened!
The 4-hour continuous attack brought more than 10,000 witch beasts to the forefront of the battle, and the fighting force of the Knights has also changed from the original 700 people to the current less than 400 people. Relying on their brave mounts and powerful rune armaments, although the combat power of the demon hunter knights was seriously damaged, not many of them actually died.
In the 4 hours of continuous fighting, 87 demon hunter knights died in battle, but the number of knights who lost their fighting ability after being attacked by witch beasts was as high as 235. Even those knights who are still sticking to the periphery are all injured, but they haven't reached the level where they can't afford serious injuries.
More than 10,000 witches and beasts were killed, and almost half of them were beheaded by the 7 glorious knights. And in the first hour of the war, every time a series of sharp and domineering half-moon slashes plowed a bloody path among the witch beasts, the number of casualties of the witch beasts also rolled upwards.
After an hour of continuous slashing and killing, it was necessary to throw the Berserk Knight's combat skills into the most densely populated area of witch beasts every now and then. Even the Radiance Knight couldn't bear such a high-intensity battle.
From the beginning of the war, a terrifying half-moon slash was fired every three to five minutes, and then it was only triggered every one or two quarters of an hour. In the end, they had become so angry and bloody that it was difficult for them to arouse the mighty knight combat skills. Therefore, they could only fight the witches and beasts like ordinary witcher knights, relying on their powerful strength and strong physique.
The number of witch beasts is not endless!
In the past month or so, the wizards hunted down almost all the beasts and monsters in this forest, transforming them into wizard beasts in large quantities. But today alone, this group of less than a thousand demon hunting knights has suffered a lot!
But the result of this is also brilliant, because... It's dark!
