Chapter 41: Reunion in the Forest
Chapter 41: Meeting again in the forest
The Holy Spirit Forest, located southeast of the trade city of Fidaq, is an ancient forest of very old age. The scenery is beautiful, with towering trees and many wild animals living everywhere. The originally quiet and peaceful ancient forest environment has been broken by the constant sound of fierce fighting.
In order to expose the ambition of the Fairy King to dominate the Farocien Continent, Leonard, a mercenary, a half-orc A, a mercenary, and the princess of the Lars Empire, Tina, her guard Hanks, the orc fighter from Yiluo, howls, the winged man Leth, the former four demon generals, Crotty, the elves, who are gathered for their own reasons, have been advancing towards Fidak, the capital of the Vospheth-Fata Republic.
But what I didn't expect was that when Leonard and his group broke through layers of obstacles and came to the Holy Spirit Forest not far from the trade city of Fidaq, they were blocked in the forest by the four demon generals who kept intercepting them.
The people who led the team to besiege this time were the orc general Ao, who had the highest martial arts skills among the four demon generals. In order to eliminate Leonard and his group, the subordinates he specially led this time were not the group of berserkers who were orcs with him, but a large group of demon knights who practiced both magic and martial arts.
Leonard and Tina were obviously in a bad situation. This time the other party was the elite troops of the old man, the Fairy King. It seemed that he was determined to destroy everyone here.
Ao led his many demon knights, looking at the people in front of him and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, see where you can escape this time, especially you Crotty, the traitor among the four demon generals, today is your death date!"
Crotty looked at the arrogant Ao with disdain and said coldly: "Ao, it's not that I despise you. Just because you, a demon general and the group of demon knights behind you, want to kill me, you are a little too arrogant."
Ao held the large battle axe in his hand and roared loudly with confidence: "I am arrogant because I have this capital. But Leonard, do you think you are trying to fight against the great fairy king by relying on you just a few people? It's so whimsical. I think you're better off dying here. After all, the scenery of the Holy Spirit Forest is very beautiful and is very suitable for burial of you!"
Leonard pointed the sword in his hand directly at Ao and the others, and smiled in his casual tone: "Stop talking nonsense. If you like the scenery here, then I don't mind burying you here after you and the big iron squids behind you died under our hands. Don't worry, I will choose a good place for you."
The unspeakable apex waved the axe in his hand towards Leonard and others, and sneered: "Boy, you are stubborn now. I'll see what you look like after being hacked by my army. The Demon Knight gives me a kill that will not be left behind!"
After receiving the order, the demon knights immediately launched an extremely fierce attack on Leonard and his group.
The Demon Knights are worthy of being the elite force secretly formed by the Fairy King, and have very strong tactical qualities. Instead of relying on their own advantages, they rushed forward and left, but immediately divided them into two parts. A group of Demon Knights quickly followed Ao with their big swords and killed Leonard and his group of people, and started close-killing hand-to-hand combat.
The other part of the magic knights are in the rear, using the magic they master to assist the battlefield. On the one hand, they use the scorching fluctuations that increase attack power and the goblins that increase defense to protect the two states of magic to the arrogant and the demon knights who are in close combat in front, greatly increasing their attack and defense abilities. At the same time, they continue to release demon sealing to Leonard's side to suppress the magicians in their team, so that the other party has no time to use large-scale and powerful attack magic.
For a moment, the two sides were hard to separate. The Guru, who was originally responsible for protecting the team's weak melee ability, also turned into a fierce battle with five or six demon knights.
At this time, Tina, who was a priest behind Gulu, returned to the magic and state blessing magic in her hand and continued to release it to the people on her side without hesitation, trying her best to strengthen their combat effectiveness.
Although Xuela, as a magician, her powerful magic has been suppressed by the demon-sealing and killing that the demon knight has been constantly released, she still uses various medium and low-level magic to release quickly and fully support Leonard, Howl and others who are fighting hard in front of her.
As a Winged Man, Reit was also relied on his advantage of flying, and constantly used wind magic to attack the demon knights below from the air.
Although the cooperation between Leonard and others was perfect, their situation was obviously getting worse and worse. The number of these demon knights was too large. They had just fought a few more and then a few appeared. And their physical strength and magic power in this area were quickly consumed.
As a sharpshooter, Hu, after using his powerful stunts to knock down several magic knights who were besieging Leonard, shouted to him: "Lei, this is not a solution. The number of opponents is too many! If we want to win, we must rely on Xuela's powerful magic to make it possible. However, Xuela is now being suppressed by the magic of the few magic knights in the distance, and they must be killed first."
"Okay, I'll cover you, Hanks, you can cooperate with Hu's actions!" Leonard immediately shouted loudly after sending out a special stunt thunder attacking sword. After forcing Ao and several demon knights who were entangled with him.
Hanks, the assassinator who was using his speed advantage to deal with the Demon Knights, immediately abandoned his opponent and rushed towards the Demon Knights who were releasing magic without saying a word. Because his speed was as lightning-like as the speed, the Demon Knights who fought with him did not react for a moment, and his target had already left.
Just as these demon knights immediately rushed to catch up with Hanks, a powerful earthquake wave instantly hit them. The group of demon knights and the surrounding demon knights who fought against Rett were shocked to the ground.
At this time, the howling battle axe of the berserker not far away was facing the ground, and he was gasping for breath. The ground that extended from front of him had now completely turned into a mess. Just now he saw Hanks being chased by the Demon Knight, so he immediately activated his unique skills to forcibly shake the enemy.
The demon knights who were conducting magic attacks looked at Hanks who were approaching quickly and Hu who was constantly launching sniping towards him, and immediately separated two demon knights to block the other side.
Just as the remaining magic knights were about to use magic to suppress Xuela, a large number of lightning strikes suddenly fell in the sky, hitting them who were unprepared very accurately.
The powerful lightning instantly knocked all these demon knights to the ground, facing this sudden change. Both gangs of people who were sacrificing their lives to fight were very surprised.
Ao didn't expect that Leonard and his group, who were surrounded by his army, would have the help of other reinforcements. Judging from the power of the lightning strike that knocked down the Demon Knight, was definitely a wind-type advanced magic. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill the very powerful Demon Knight with one blow.
Leonard and his group were very surprised, why did someone suddenly help them? You should know that their group of people are all wanted by the Republic of Vosfeta. Logically, no one would offend the mainland's most powerful country for them to help.
At this time, the lightning in the sky was still falling, and the magic knights were constantly hitting the scene with extremely accurate attacks, causing the opponent's formation to be in chaos and the losses of personnel continued to increase.
And at this time, magic missiles suddenly shot out from the woods and kept attacking the remaining demon knights. All the demon knights who were hit by that kind of magic missile were knocked to the ground without exception, and their hard armor began to be completely deformed by the powerful impact force.
Of course, Leonard and others would not miss this great opportunity, so they launched a full-scale counterattack towards the remaining Demon Knights. However, due to the sudden attack, Ao Yifang began to be reluctant to fight and prepare for signs of retreat due to his severe decline in morale.
Seeing that the current situation was no longer controlled, Ao immediately prepared to retreat immediately. The opponent obviously had two powerful mages lying in the dark, and the demon knight he brought had been mostly injured and killed by the opponent's continuous magic attacks and the counterattacks of Leonard and others. There was no need to continue this battle. The first thing he had to face was how to retreat safely.
Although Ao and his remaining demon knights were no longer ready to retreat, this does not mean that Leonard and others would let them go so easily. They just now were the ones who were desperately besieging him, and now it is time for them to start taking revenge.
At this time, Xuela, a magician, began to launch a powerful magic attack on the retreating demon knight. For a moment, the opponent suffered heavy casualties in the face of these large-scale lethal magic.
Leonard and Howl also entangled the two powerful warriors of Ao who could not retreat at this time. The demon general of the Beast Clan, one of the four demon generals, saw that he had no hope of retreating, so he simply took the initiative to attack the people who were besieging him.
Faced with this demon general who had begun to jump over the wall, Leonard and How could not defeat this crazy guy for a while. Just as Crotty was about to join the battle circle of besieging Ao, two strange-shaped swords suddenly appeared behind him, and pierced the demon general's body with lightning speed.
With the continuous gushing of blood, the orc general under the Fairy King Ao, who had been through many battles, looked at the two sharp swords stretched out from his chest with an incredible look on his face. After opening his mouth and spitting out a large mouthful of blood, he finally slowly fell down with extremely unwilling eyes.
Leonard and others were all alert in the face of this sudden situation. They had not discovered so far, and they instantly took action to kill the character Ao, the demon general.
You should know that the four demon generals under the Fairy King are not small characters, but the opponent can still kill the powerful Ao in an instant under the sneak attack. However, everyone now has no idea where the opponent is, which is really a little scary.
Just as everyone was alert to the surroundings, a man wearing strange black armor slowly appeared in front of them in the forest.
After just looking at them, the other party stepped to Ao's corpse. He pulled out the two long swords inserted into the corpse very casually, and then turned back and looked at them quietly without saying anything. However, just standing there gave everyone a very strong sense of oppression.
Just as Leonard was about to ask the other party, a few steps came from the forest behind them again. A beautiful woman in red soon appeared in front of everyone. At this time, Tina saw clearly the appearance of the man and the woman, and immediately remembered something. Just as she was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly came from the air.
Xia Linyue slowly descended from the air elegantly and leisurely to everyone. She looked at Tina and said softly: "Little Princess, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Are you doing well during this period?"
When Tina saw the beautiful black-haired beauty who was speaking to her, she immediately remembered the beautiful lady in front of her, the man wearing a weird helmet who had just assassinated Ao, and the beauty in red, weren’t they the three mysterious people she met when she escaped from the Fidak City a year ago? She didn’t expect that she would meet here, so she smiled and said, “This sister didn’t expect that we would meet here after a year. This time you have done me a favor. Thank you so much.”
Seeing Tina being ready to walk over and say hello to the other party, Hanks, who was loyal to protecting the Lord, quickly stood in front and said seriously: "Your Highness, Princess, please be careful if these people have unknown origins!"
At this time, Mu Chenxing, who was holding the two swords, heard Hanks' worried words and smiled indifferently on his face under the helmet. With their strength now, if they wanted to attack, I believe that the already very tired people at the scene were no match for them at all, so he began to walk towards Xia Linyue.
Seeing Mu Chenxing walking towards him, Leonard, who was already extremely careful, immediately held the sword in his hand tightly. His special intuition trained through the test of life and death told him that the person wearing a helmet in front of him, wearing a dark armor, was definitely a master, and it gave people a feeling of being very dangerous.
As Leonard's old comrade, Hu is of course very cooperative with the other party. At this time, the bow and arrow in his hand are ready and can attack the enemy at any time.
As a warrior, howling also found that the atmosphere at the scene was a little bit wrong, but he did not overreact to Leonard's.
