Chapter 340: The Battle Before the Throne (Part II)

Cheese's words were not wrong, perhaps in the face of the demon Heather who was limited by low temperatures, she could calmly dodge the enemy's attacks with her martial arts, but when Ardor really unleashed its demonic fire without reservation, the female knight found that she could no longer take advantage of speed and dexterity. Not to mention the heat on the surface of the demon's body that seemed to roast a person entirely, Erdo seemed to have the ability to spit out flames like a dragon after entering a state of fire, and this demon left patches of demonic fire on the ground around him, greatly limiting the range of movement of the warriors.

Moreover, for Heather's tactic of constantly circumventing the blind spot of his vision, the demon has also found a solution, its tail. When the flames burned and the tail the size of a human waist struck Heather like a whip, the female knight knew she had to change her tactics. Fortunately, by this time, Jack had returned to the battlefield, and with the help of Wolfwalkers, although the situation was still in favor of the demons, Heather could at least protect himself.

"They won't last long. Walking over to Cheese and slashing through the demon's flames with the knight's sword in his hand, Atticus looked like he had recovered from the heavy blow he had inflicted on him. The old knight had seen all kinds of battlefields in his life, and even though he had no experience in fighting demons, this did not prevent him from seeing the fatigue of the warriors.

"Wolfwalkers aren't the type to be good at protracted battles, and I'm honestly surprised that Heather can fight a full-fledged demon like this. The mage raised an eyebrow, judging the situation on the battlefield was not his strong point, but his abundant knowledge gave him the ability to predict the direction of the battle. "The priority now is not to kill that guy, its strength is not something that can be fought with this little force, if you want to use a metaphor, our attack just now just scratched the itch. ”

"Then what we should do now..."The Iron Knight frowned, he didn't expect the demon in front of him to be so powerful, in his heart, even if it was a giant, it should not be able to support the combination of the female knight and the werewolf, not to mention that there was also a gray-robed mage here. But facts are facts, and Atticus knows that Cheese has no need to lie to him.

"To bring His Majesty back from the throne, of course. As long as I save the king, I will be able to let my hands and feet go. The mage replied as a matter of course. Looking at Cheese's appearance, the Iron Knight had a slight premonition in his heart, and he vaguely felt that this throne room, which had existed since the castle was built, would probably undergo a reconstruction.

But having said that, Atticus knew very well that what the mage said was not wrong, and that it would be worth it to save the king, even at the cost of the entire castle to defeat this terrible demon. "Understood, I will organize the soldiers to rescue His Majesty. "The Grand Knight Commander is a pragmatic man, and after setting his immediate goal, he immediately stopped thinking about other things.

"Wait, let Elsa go. Your soldiers," Cheese paused, glancing at the royal guards out of the corner of his eye. It is true that they have an unrivaled loyalty to the royal family of the Blue Lion, and this loyalty can make them fall into a desperate situation without flinching. But that's when the opponent is as human as they are. The demons' innate terrifying abilities and sheer size put too much pressure on these soldiers, and they couldn't even wield the usual strength and speed in front of such an enemy.

The Iron Knight quickly understood what the mage meant, and he let out a sharp sigh, knowing that Cheese's concern was correct. "If only Lyon were here. Atticus muttered, and went back to the soldiers, organizing them to use bows and arrows or other ranged weapons to distract the demons and gain a chance for the rescue.

"Sounds like we have work to do?" Noticing the conversation between Cheese and the Grand Knight, Mona and Elsa had already approached the side while the two were talking, after all, the current battle situation had made it impossible for them to get involved. The proprietress said this rather casually, but the mage was keenly aware of the red hair on her forehead that was stuck with sweat, and as to whether the sweat was due to the heat or the fierce battle, Cheese thought that the latter might be more important.

"If you still have the strength to do it. Taking a person from behind a demon is not a child's play. The mage said solemnly, he knew very well how important the King was to the kingdom and the plague, but that didn't mean he was willing to put his companions on the line.

"Rest assured, this level of stuff is just a warm-up for us. The proprietress laughed, and with a flick of her head, the red hair tied into a ponytail at the back of her head left a charming arc in the air. She hated being slighted by him, even if it was a sign of protection.

"You should stay, I'll go. Or let Lord Atticus send someone to help me. The female warrior beside Elsa whispered in the former's ear, and at the same time held the boss's right forearm with her hand, although she tried her best to hide it, Mona could still see that the muscles in that arm were shaking unnaturally, which was a cramp caused by excessive tension and physical exertion. For most of the fighters, the appearance of such a situation on the battlefield is fatal.

"That's not going to work, how can I be safe for you to move with those frightened southerners who can't walk? Elsa said as she removed Mona's hand from her lower arm and tightened the leather armor on her arm to force her muscles to shake.

Seeing this, the female warrior didn't say anything more, she knew very well what kind of stubborn character her friend had. When she was still in the town of Longji Mountain, she often teased that Elsa's personality was not as sleek as her nickname "Red Fox", this tavern proprietress supported the operation of the Dragonspine Top Tavern alone in the case of the death of her relatives one after another, and her strength and persistence in her bones were not inferior to any man.

"Ladies, say hello when you're ready. We will do our best to support you. Not far away, the Iron Knight had reassembled the royal guards, most of whom had now drawn their crossbow arrows at the call of the old knight, and although Atticus knew that it would be difficult to inflict real damage on the demon with these arrows, at least it could distract it.

"We're ready. Mona glanced at her companions, and after receiving an affirmative look from Elsa, she said to the warriors of the Grey Lion.
