Chapter 75: The Death of the Duke

The Night Demon Cavalry Army is, after all, not like the White Cavalry Army, which is made entirely of advanced believers. The strength of the Night Demon soldiers is generally at the level of mid-level believers and advanced believers.

Their level of Spiritual Vision was not enough to see Leo, and the armor was powerless against the Water-shaped Sword.

The only battle skills and strength they had that surpassed Leo were useless because they could not see him.

Leo was simply their nightmare, but…

The consumption of the Mist Messenger was just too great, especially the teleportation that happened every ten seconds, which required a large amount of physical strength.

According to Leo’s current stats, he could only move freely in the mist for a maximum of 7 minutes, and that was if there weren’t too many enemies in the mist.

To be honest, if there were no limits to physical strength, there would be no need for Viscount Carter’s cavalry; he alone could cleanly defeat this group of Night Demon Cavalry.

"Ah, there is still a long way to go, and so many areas need improvement." Leo tightened his grip on the hilt of the Water-shaped Sword, "But I have indeed become stronger."

"In the past, I couldn’t even handle a regular low-level believer; now, without relying on Miss Skuld, I can kill twenty or thirty Night Demon Cavalry in one go."

"Really, does the master not need me anymore?" A charming voice interrupted Leo’s thoughts. He turned his head to see the Mucus Avatar Reni slowly approaching.

"How could that be? Without Skuld, I wouldn’t have gained such power."

"Not true! If it weren’t for the master, Skuld wouldn’t be able to become stronger!" Miss Mucus stood proudly with her hands on her hips, but her face showed satisfaction.

"So, how are you? Are you full?"

"Yes! I have devoured the bodies of the Superoperators along the way, and my strength is constantly growing!" Skuld licked her lips.

This was not Skuld’s true form; her true form was currently fighting alongside Viscount Carter.

Now standing in front of Leo is a clone of Skuld. Following Leo’s instructions, she stays far behind Leo’s small team, responsible for cleaning up the bodies to ensure nothing goes to waste.

"That’s good. After we leave, you can continue to devour. The bodies of the Night Demon and Order Cultist here should be good food," Leo continued to instruct.

"Hmm… but… the main body is too clever. She can always stay with the master and be trained by the master, while I… sob, I can only eat trash."

"…" A long line of ellipses appeared on Leo’s forehead as he sighed helplessly. "Alright, once everything is over, I will reward you."

"Hehe, yes, master~"

……

The battle was finally over, and humanity won again.

Of course, this was expected by Leo.

If the intimidation and ambush were used, and Viscount Carter still could not defeat this team of Night Demon Cavalry, then Leo would not need to follow them. He could just quickly knock Miss Kalian unconscious and escape with her.

"Where is Mr. Leo?"

In the resting camp, the anxious voice of the Northern Princess was heard.

"I’m here, don’t worry, I’m fine."

Leo waved to the restless Kalian.

"Phew… that’s good."

Kalian approached with the healing medicine, feeling much more at ease, but seeing Miss Skuld bandaging Leo’s wounds made her feel a mix of emotions.

Although it was decided to help the Saintess of Order, Miss Kalian was still placed at the back of the army for safety during this surprise attack.

Therefore, she hardly participated in the battle and only used her gas gun for support.

As soon as the fight ended, she hurried to the main camp.

It is clear that, compared to Viscount Carter and his cavalry, Miss Kalian cares more about whether Mr. Leo, who was the first to attack the Night Demon, is hurt—this is something she probably does not even realize herself.

"Don’t worry, Leo is fine." Skuld gave her a cold look, "You should go check on your soldiers."

"But…" Kalian frowned, feeling uneasy.

"Yeah, I’m really fine." Leo nodded.

"Okay, then I’ll go ahead." Kalian smiled reluctantly and handed over the medicine, "This is a special mixture I made, remember to use it."

"Thank you very much."

……

Night finally arrived.

"Hahaha, that was thrilling, really too thrilling! I just chopped off at least three Night Demon heads!"

"Hahaha, me too! I also took down five!"

"Oh please, just you? You can barely take down one!"

"Hahaha, one is enough! If we can win, that’s what matters!"

After experiencing a great battle, the morale of the North Land cavalry was once again high.

When they were with the Marquis of Logan, they had not won a single battle, but now under Mr. Leo’s command, they were having a great time fighting.

Leo’s standing among them was growing higher and higher, slowly becoming a kind of lucky belief in their victory.

Although the crisis for North Land was not yet over, these victories might not turn into rewards and glory.

But as long as they could take revenge on the Night Demons, it was enough to soothe their hearts.

"Tat tat tat."

Saintess Fleur, with the help of a female follower, arrived at the center of the forest.

The noise from the soldiers suddenly stopped, and everyone’s eyes turned to the silver-haired, red-eyed saintess.

To be honest, they didn’t know how to face the saintess now.

Especially Miss Kalian and Viscount Carter.

In the battle of Winter Fortress, the Order Church had invested nearly all of its resources.

This defeat greatly damaged the Order Sect.

As the Saintess of Order, Miss Fleur must also feel quite frustrated.

After all, they could have evacuated Winter Fortress earlier.

"Um…" Kalian stood up first and walked in front of Fleur, "About the situation in Winter Fortress, really…"

"Why are you here? Why did you turn back instead of going to the royal city?" Fleur interrupted Kalian, looking past him at Leo. "Or did you come back to save me because of what this man said?"

Leo, "…"

Oh my goodness, if I were alone, I would definitely not help.

Kalian wanted to say more, but Fleur continued, "Alright, now that you have saved me, let’s hurry south. Time is running out. Miss Kalian, you must get back to the royal city quickly."

"No, that’s not it. We turned back because…" Kalian smiled apologetically and revealed Leo’s plan completely.

After a moment, Saintess Fleur, having listened to the plan and story, looked at Leo with a blank expression. "Ha, it really is only you who could make such a choice."

"Thank you, Master Saintess, for the compliment." Leo shrugged noncommittally. "However, Master Saintess, you just said Kalian needs to get back to the royal city quickly. Why is that?"

Fleur did not speak.

"At this point…" Leo sighed. "I think there’s nothing left to hide, Master Saintess."

"After a long, heavy silence, Fleur finally sighed. A strange sadness appeared on her usually expressionless face. ‘Miss Kalian, your father, the God of War from North Land, the Duke of Tersk, passed away a month ago.’"

Boom!

Thunder rolled across the sky, and amid the humming sound, the waves of Winter River continued to wash against the shore.
