Chapter 82: The Battle Begins
"Well, Mr. Leo, I am going now." Miss Kalian rode her warhorse, her fitted riding pants showing her graceful figure.
"Yes, I will give you a signal when the time comes, and then it will be up to you." Leo held her horse’s reins, "Be careful. If something goes wrong, your life must come first."
"I will," Kalian nodded, preparing to leave.
Leo pulled the reins again and said seriously, "Kalian, I’m serious. Your life is very important, both to all of North Land and… to me."
"What are you talking about?" Fei Yun’s gaze moved from Miss Kalian’s face down to her delicate neck. "I… I understand now, you must survive too, Mr. Leo. Your life… is very important to me as well."
"Of course."
"…"
Kalian left with the fire warlock of the Order Sect.
Their destination was upstream of the Winter River.
Yes, Leo’s plan was very simple.
Take advantage of the flood during the thawing season to give the Night Demons a vivid emergency survival lesson.
The North Land has a harsh climate; Winter River freezes into ice in winter and turns to flowing water in summer. That is why Tersk Territory has two different maps for summer and winter.
The valley where Leo and his group are located is passable in winter, but in summer, it becomes a deep pool.
Miss Kalian’s endless steam machine, along with the Order Sect’s fire warlock, is the best way to melt the ice.
Knight Lennon’s role is to pretend to build a raft to cross the river, luring the Night Demons’ attention and drawing them into this low area.
The Night Demons come from outside Mary Ann’s Great Wall, and the map in their hands is for winter. They have no idea that this low area will be flooded, becoming their grave.
"Master, Viscount Carter and the saintess are also ready." Skuld, holding a saddlebag, stepped out from the shadows, "Viscount Carter asked me to bring you this, saying it’s strong liquor from North Land, just warmed up."
"Alright." Leo took the saddlebag, opened the top, and felt the strong alcohol flow down his throat like a knife, rolling into his stomach, "Cough, it really is strong liquor. I can’t handle it."
"Well then, it is time to honor the souls of the fallen from North Land with the deaths of the Night Demons."
Leo felt nothing but respect for these warriors who defend their home and nation.
He turned the saddlebag upside down.
The strong liquor soaked into the black soil.
Water vapor rises.
…
In the dense forest.
The Night Demon messenger returned to the main army.
"Report, we have found traces of human soldiers ahead. It seems they are making rafts to cross the river."
"Ha, I finally caught that group of fish that slipped through the net." The general of the Night Demon squad, Bell, grinned, "Who is the leader? Can we see clearly?"
"It’s unclear, but from their outfits, they should be the White Cavalry Army of the Order Sect."
"Hmm, it seems they are the main force from Winter Fortress. As expected, they must have gathered the scattered soldiers, which is why their speed has slowed down." Bell thought for a moment and waved his whip, "Have the side army circle around behind them. We will surround them and make sure they have no chance to escape."
"Yes, my lord."
"Lord Bell, why are we still chasing that small team?" After the order was given, the lieutenant asked in confusion, "Shouldn’t our guard team be following the commander to pursue the main troop of the Marquis of Logan?"
"Hmph, your vision is too short-sighted." Bell shook his head, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "That broken army actually turned back north, tricking us. Tell me, could you come up with such a marching route in a desperate situation?"
"…" The lieutenant bit his teeth in frustration but still sighed, "Of course not."
"Exactly, you can’t, and neither can I." Bell licked his dry lips, "But there is one person who can."
"The commander of the Winter Fortress?"
"Yes, not too foolish, that’s right, it is him." Bell looked at his lieutenant with satisfaction, "Do you remember the commander’s order? We need to find the commander of the Winter Fortress, eliminate him, and never let him take center stage."
"So, we must deal with that broken human army here. Hehe, I thought we would definitely lose them, but unexpectedly, they gathered their troops and slowed down their marching speed."
"What a pity, what a pity. There must be some naive big shot in that army. This time, we will achieve great merit, hahaha!"
"Pass the order down, launch the surprise attack after two natural hours, and leave no one behind."
……
Winter Riverbank.
Lennon held the necklace in his hand, looked at the raft he had just made, and shook his head.
In the winter flood season, the Winter River flows fast, and this spot is also a bend where the river has changed course, so such a raft could not possibly cross the river.
However, Leo specifically had him build the raft here, clearly intending for Night Demon to see this as a diversion.
The reason for sending him here is also very clear.
He needs a valuable person as bait to lure in the Night Demons.
"Can you bite on bait like a sixth-tier Divine Knight?" Feeling the killing intent solidifying, Lennon’s lips gradually curled into a smile, "I never thought I would enjoy the thrill of slaying these beasts in the final moments of my life."
"Leo, thank you very much."
"Kill!!"
From both sides of the dense forest, a roar of the Night Demon echoed.
Soon after, a flock of birds flew up from the thick woods.
One by one, the Night Demon Cavalry, riding on Giant Toothed Lizards, charged out, waving their spears to strike at the Order Cultist.
"Well done!"
Lennon
Shouted loudly, golden light swirling around him, then with a powerful stomp on the ground, a huge shockwave erupted outward in an instant.
With a thunderous boom.
The few Night Demon Cavalry at the front didn’t even have time to react before the shockwave turned them into splatters of meat.
This is not over yet.
In the next moment, Lennon transformed into a golden shadow, swinging two giant swords as he moved through the rushing Night Demon Army.
The massive swords, which usually required great strength to hold with both hands, felt light in his grip, like daggers.
Lennon, as big as a small mountain, moved with a speed that the eye could hardly follow.
With each flash of golden light and every swing of the sword, a troll fell to the ground.
This is the sixth-tier warrior-Divine Knight, Lennon.
"Damn it, it’s the Divine Knight! Haha, sending out a Divine Knight to build ships must mean that human army is in a desperate situation!" Bell cracked his whip. "Form up! Let’s take them down! For the glory of the Night Demon!"
"Yes!"
"Kill!"
The death of their companions did not cause this elite team to panic; instead, it strengthened their fighting spirit even more.
These Night Demons are evil spirits that crawled back from the abyss of death; as long as they can bite a piece of flesh from a human, they are willing to give up their own lives!
