Chapter 13: Victory and Defeat
"Wu Qiu's subordinates have shown mercy, is it really good to do this as a demon?"
Lin Yuan smiled as he watched the battle that decided to go backwards. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Obviously, you can make tens of thousands of fireballs in one go, destroy the opponent's defense at once, but you have to die yourself, and you were almost slashed by the sword of the Sword Saint of the Sky, it is really too naΓ―ve. β
Wu Qiu's strategic-level magic, which had been blessed by Lin Yuan, was able to generate tens of thousands of high-temperature fireballs in mid-air, which fell to the ground and caused a series of explosions, producing powerful destructive power.
And after the explosion stops, those fireballs will turn into stones, and as long as Wu Qiu inputs his power again, he can transform into a flame stone giant hellfire, becoming a temporary monster army.
Hellfire is a monster made of mana, similar in nature to elves, but Hellfire can only exist for a long time, depending on the input of mana, it can only exist for three hours at most.
But the enemy who has been baptized by the fireball explosion, even if he can survive, has no combat power, and the strength of the hellfire is similar to that of an ordinary battle golem, which is enough to remove all the sequelae.
If Wu Qiu had gone all out at the beginning of this battle, it would be likely that the army of the Glen Loton Kingdom would not be able to defend against the attack at all, and they would all be wiped out under this magic.
Maybe the Sword Saint of the Sky can survive, but after losing the army, he has no choice but to retreat.
"But it's all good, as long as the result can be achieved. β
Lin Yuan half lay on the chair, lazily watching the battle.
Wu Qiu led dozens of Hellfires and rampaged through the army of the Kingdom of Glen Loton, ordinary magic might be able to stop the Hellfire, but Wu Qiu, who had turned into a fire demon, would not even be able to break through his defenses if he didn't use hundreds of high-level magic attacks at once.
The body of the fire demon was burning with hundreds of degrees of heat, and ordinary mages couldn't get close to it at all, let alone those ordinary soldiers, and the hellfire was a similar situation, the destroyers of the flames were invincible, and in a short period of time, the army of the Kingdom of Glen Loton was crushed.
"But it's still very serious, it's ......."
Lin Yuan could see that the Flame Demon should have a way to sweep all the soldiers at once, but he didn't choose to do so, but instead used the most clumsy method to rush into the army's camp, so that the other party had time to withdraw in time.
For this kind of trivial matter, Lin Yuan didn't care too much, he gave full authority to Wu Qiu and Buckfere in this battle, and it was up to them to decide how to fight in the way they chose, as long as they could win, even if they didn't kill an enemy, it didn't matter.
"It just seems that the tactics chosen by Buckfere are a bit dangerous. β
Through the observation of the dream realm, Lin Yuan could see the battle on the battlefield that was isolated by the spatial rift.
Buckfere's whole body was covered in blood, and there was no intact part of his body, and it looked like he couldn't hold it for long.
On the other hand, his opponent, Andy Lesden, the "Sword Saint of the Sky", was not a big problem, although the armor of the Magister on his body became broken, but he actually did not suffer much damage.
"The gap in experience and strength is manifested here, there is no way, Buckfere has only reached the level of strategic magister for a few months, and it is still too reluctant to compare with the Sword Saint of the Sky. β
Heras, who was originally silently watching the battle situation, frowned slightly after hearing Lin Yuan's indifferent tone.
"Don't look at me like that, if it really comes to the last minute, I will help my subordinates," Lin Yuan turned his head and looked at Heras, who had a straight face, "Don't worry, since Buckfere chose to fuse with the magic sword, how could he not have hole cards, he may not be able to defeat the Sword Saint of the Sky, but he will not die at the hands of the other party, and it is still possible to delay the other party." β
In the battle scene, Buckfere begins to be badly wounded, covered in blood, but in fact his wounds are healing rapidly, and his strength can still last for a long time.
Lesden also discovered the situation of his opponent, and in order to prevent the opponent from continuing to breathe, he once deceived himself, using the magic power to cut off everything, and constantly attacked Buckfere.
"The power of the Sword Saint of the Sky is its own magical ability, after years of training, there are very few people in this world who can fight him head-on, Buckfere's magic sword is just enough to deal with, and the magic sword Tilfeng, which has the concept of slashing and tearing, can barely compete with the power of severing things. β
Lesden and Buckfere constantly swung their swords to attack each other, and in terms of swordsmanship, Lesden, who has been immersed in swordsmanship for a long time, is several times stronger than Buckfere, and in terms of strength, it is also obvious that Lesden is stronger.
Although it was not one-sided, Lesden, who reacted to the initial defeat, clearly grasped the advantage, and the rhythm of the battle was controlled by him.
"This kind of person who has great strength, but still keeps exercising, but it is difficult to deal with, continue to fight like this, and Buckfere, who is at a disadvantage, is almost about to release the last resort. β
Lin Yuan knew very well that the two in the battle had entered the stage of desperate fighting.
Knowing that both powerful swordsmen possess the ability to break through magical barriers, they have stopped wasting their magic on defense, but have let go of the Magister's life-saving shield, which is only used to strengthen the abilities of the body and the attacks on the sword.
In other words, whoever can land the sword on the opponent's vital point first will be able to distinguish the winner with one blow.
Lesden, who had the advantage in battle, attacked faster and faster, without any relaxation at all, and only wanted to kill the enemy in front of him under the sword.
Buckfere was overwhelmed by the momentum of the other party, and the two who originally had a gap in strength separated the winners and losers after a confrontation.
Lesden severed Buckfere's right arm at the cost of a sword in his chest.
Buckfere's right arm was severed, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and his wound continued to spurt out a large amount of blood, staining the grass beneath him, and he fell to his knees in pain, gasping for breath.
"The victory is decided, and if you don't want to die, you can remove the magic that isolates this place. β
Lesden pressed his sword against his opponent's neck and ordered Buckfere to surrender.
Although he had a slender wound cut on his chest, it was not serious and would not affect his combat ability, and now that he had been distinguished, he didn't have to pay too much attention to this ordinary wound.
Buckfere didn't respond to the other party, just moaned in pain all the time.
Lesden was very concerned about the situation in the outside world, he was already anxious, he lost his basic patience, he could not wait for the other party to recover, he pressed the blade of the sword against the opponent's neck, intending to forcibly order the opponent to dissolve the magic.
Buckfere, who had a cut on his neck, remained unresponsive, as if he could not bear the physical pain.
At this moment, Lesden's fighting instinct suddenly sounded the alarm, and before he had time to think about it, his body began to move on his own, and his feet jumped away from their original position with all their might.
Because of this, he escaped.
β...... Your senses are too sharp, aren't you...... Sword Saint of the Sky......"
Buckfere smiled bitterly and stood up, he didn't expect that at the last moment, he would be escaped by the other party.
"You ......"
Lesden looked at his opponent nervously, if he hadn't followed his instincts just now, he might have died here.
Where he had been, several sharp red spears pierced deep into the ground.
The wound on Buckfere's severed arm sprouted red tentacles like muscles, and then transformed into a hard spear, and if Lesden hadn't avoided it just now, he would have been hurt by his unexpected attack.
"So...... Let's continue our stalemate. β
Buckfere's tentacles quickly rolled up the severed arm and sword on the ground, and then reached into the broken part of the arm and reattached the severed arm.
With a gentle wave of his reverted arm, Buckfere gripped his sword once more, confronting his grim-looking opponent in front of him.
"Buckfere and the magic sword Tilfeng are completely fused, he becomes the magic sword itself, if you want to kill him, it is useless to simply hurt his body, if you can't attack the core of him and the magic sword at the same time, even if he becomes minced meat, he can return to his original state after dozens of seconds. β
Lin Yuan smiled and explained Buckfere's recovery ability with a look of consternation.
"Next, presumably the Sword Saint of the Void will use his ability to cut off the concept of life of Buckferay itself, but this is actually useless, Buckfere's vitality and the magic sword Til Feng are blended with each other, even if the life of one of them is eliminated, it can be replenished from the other side, and the Sword Saint of the Void, who does not know this, will only continue to waste his physical strength and magic power, and will be trapped here until the end of the battle outside. β
Buckfere was self-aware and knew that it was impossible to defeat Lesden on his own, but if he only tried to hold the other side back, he was confident that he could last all day.
"In this battle, although Buckfere lost, but in the war, he won the other side. β
On the battlefield on the plains, the army of the Kingdom of Glen Loton was defeated by the repeated attacks of the Fire Demon and Hellfire, and realized that they could not defeat their opponents, so they could only keep retreating.
On the other side, the army of the Kaos Empire, under the leadership of the deputy general Yati Lightning Blade of the Demon Clan, rushed towards the other party with great momentum.
If it weren't for the fact that the commander was besieged by the enemy, the generals of the Glen Loton Kingdom Army had already ordered the army to retreat after the fire demon impact formation, and seeing the enemy's army approaching rapidly, they had to give up the useless struggle in order to retain enough troops, so they chose to officially retreat.
Wu Qiu had been fighting for a while, and the boiling demonic blood was stimulating his brain, making him want to leave all the enemies behind and satisfy his instinctive desire to kill.
However, after seeing the embarrassed retreat of the Glen Loton Kingdom army, Wu Qiu's mind cooled down slightly, he did not stop the other party from leaving, but just stood still, and burned all the enemies who had no time to retreat and were responsible for the break.
He knew there was no need to continue the senseless killing, and the battle had already been decided.
Just after the Glen Loton Kingdom Army had evacuated a certain distance, the isolated space not far away suddenly shattered.
Lesden's figure rushed out of it, and without looking back, he used all his strength to quickly leave the place.
Wu Qiu glanced at it and put down the flame sword that was about to swing an attack.
Buckfere stood in place with a tired face, and after receiving Wu Qiu's notice of the retreat of the other party's army, he hurriedly pretended to be physically exhausted, unlocked the barrier of the spatial rift, and let Lesden leave.
Lesden, who had wanted to leave the cage, stopped paying attention to the enemy in front of him as soon as he saw the outside world, and after finding the direction of his own army, he joined them at full speed.
In this short period of time, Buckfere was slain several times by Lesden without any reservations, his body was cut into different shapes, and if it weren't for his tenacious recovery ability, he would have died under the opponent's sword.
And the most serious wound caused by Buckferre was only a wound in the opponent's left arm, although Lesden could not use his left hand for the time being, but his combat effectiveness did not decline much, but there was a tendency to become more and more courageous.
Lesden used all his strength to kill his opponent several times, and the magic power in his body was also lost, and if he continued to stalemate, he would lose his ability to fight.
However, Buckfere did not intend to risk killing the opponent, Lesden was too dangerous and too powerful, and it was very likely that he would capsize in the gutter, and letting the other party leave was the best option.
Wu Qiu had completely ravaged the army of the Kingdom of Glen Loton, which originally had an army of 60,000, but now it has less than 30,000 troops, and under the targeted blows, all the Magister troops were defeated, and only a few dozen people were lucky to survive.
Generally speaking, if the army's losses exceed thirty percent, it is considered a serious rout, and there is no problem if it is completely destroyed, and the Glen Loton Kingdom Army has been reduced by half of its members under the impact of the Flame Demon, which can be regarded as completely losing the ability to fight.
In the wizarding world, an army of ordinary soldiers is only used to serve the Magus, and it is the Magus who can use magic who can really decide everything on the battlefield.
Without the Magister's army, it would be impossible to continue to resist, and letting them flee would not affect the situation in the future.
"Basically, after this battle, this country is already in my pocket. β
Lin Yuan held his chin, this battle without too many obstacles could not arouse his interest.
"The Kingdom of Glen Loton was originally a small country, and after losing a large number of Magisters, there is no way to stop my advance. β
Hundreds of kilometers from this battle, after crossing five cities, it entered the central hinterland of the kingdom of Glen Loton, where the capital of the kingdom was in sight.
"Once the capital falls, the country is finished, then, the problem comes. β
Lin Yuan's eyes pierced through the void and looked at the palace in the capital, and the huge void beneath it.
"How are you going to resist? Do you have a way to turn the tide? If you do succeed, I don't mind giving everything back to you, anyway, I have many ways to get rid of those people even if I don't go through this country. β
From the beginning, Lin Yuan didn't really need to invade, he had his own way to go to the location of the Vientiane Research Society and the Truth Seeker.
However, it would be too boring to do that, and fate would not let him carry it out smoothly, and only by following the originally arranged trajectory could he find the greatest pleasure.
"O small being, use all your mental strength to resist fate, if you really succeed in resisting me, I will give you the corresponding reward. β
Lin Yuan laughed at the fate of only malice, overlooking the cruel and unjust world.
"Then, use all you have to please me. β
