On the other side, Lydia and the knights managed to survive the first wave of the demons' attack.

The insect-like monsters finally knew to retreat, but they were most likely ordered to retreat by the commander.

Lydia naturally did not relax, on the one hand, even on the battlefield, she noticed the commotion at the city gate, it should be Daniel and Chrysti fighting, on the other hand, the commander of the demon clan has not yet appeared, and she does not know how long this so-called general attack will last.

Fortunately, after such careful tactics, everyone's physical strength was not consumed much, and the fighting spirit was strong.

On the battlefield at this time, there was nothing but the corpses of a large number of monsters.

However, the most unbearable thing for the knights was the green blood flowing from the corpses of those monsters, which not only looked viscous, but also emitted a disgusting smell.

There was only one of them who was not affected by the scent, and of course, he was supposed to have a strong endurance, and that was Ares, the captain of the knights.

"Everyone, are you all right?" Lydia asked with concern.

"Of course it's fine." A young knight said heartily.

"yes, just a few monsters aren't enough to stuff your teeth."

"Haha, who's going to eat something disgusting." Another knight quipped.

"Oh, it's a metaphor, do you understand the metaphor?"

Ares, who had a serious face, heard that they were still joking, and immediately became angry.

"Hey, what do you guys say? This is a battlefield, so be serious! ”

When the knights saw this, they quickly fell silent.

However, Lydia did not agree with his words, and it was precisely because of this crucial occasion that she should relax a little so that she could be in better shape in the next battle.

However, she is only a trainee knight now, and even if she is sought after by everyone, she is not qualified to talk back to the knight captain.

Although the knights did not dare to make a sound, they still had to find a way to recuperate, some of them carried a kettle, took a sip and handed it to their companions, and others had a piece of baked bread, and took a bite and gave it to the person next to them.

Seeing this, Ares didn't say much, he was older than most of the Knights, so he basically appeared in front of them as a senior.

The so-called seniors are that they must be strict when they should be strict, and their eyes can't rub a grain of sand, and when it's time to rest, they must always stand aside and protect these juniors.

Sure enough, this approach was useful, Ares was the first to detect the second wave of the demons' attack, and he hastened to alert Lydia and the knights.

"Please, Lydia." Ares said sincerely.

In his eyes, Lydia's strength has long surpassed him, so he can only pin all his hopes on Lydia.

"Well, I understand, Captain." Lydia nodded earnestly.

Immediately after, from the gloomy forest emerged a large group of monsters, with a human-like form, walking upright, thick limbs, pointed ears, and curved fangs on the sides of their mouths, and several times the size of humans.

Lydia had seen this humanoid monster before, and although it looked terrifying, it was actually so weak that it couldn't dodge even the simplest moves.

This kind of goods is the lowest among the demons, but Lydia has also heard a saying that has been handed down by scholars who studied monsters more than five hundred years ago.

That is, the currently known monsters can be divided into three main types, the first is called the phantom beast species, the appearance is similar to the animals in nature, and the attack method is also the most common bite, collision or claw grabbing; The second is the primitive species, they have the characteristics of sea creatures, such as tentacles, fins, etc., it is said that because the demons originated in the deep sea, their strength is much stronger than that of the phantom beast species; The third, and most powerful one, is called the intelligent species, they have a very similar body shape to humans, if you don't look closely, it is easy to confuse with ordinary humans, and as it is called, they have the intelligence of no less than humans, and they can also speak the languages of various races on the continent, and usually serve as the commander of the demon race.

Lydia looked at the monsters in front of her, but she was a little confused, because she couldn't classify them as any kind, say it is an intelligent species, their size is too different from humans, and their IQ is worrying, it is said that it is a phantom beast species or a primitive species, and it is completely inconsistent with the characteristics.

In short, she can only classify them as unknown for the time being.

However, although this monster was not too threatening, it was the first time she had seen so many, and it was no less than the previous phantom beast species.

What's even more tricky is that they are huge in size and have extraordinary strength, which is not at all comparable to insect-type monsters, and once the knight fights them, the physical exertion will be greater.

In addition, Lydia can't guarantee that the sword skills she uses at will will hit them hard, so she can only rely on charging.

Despite such concerns, they did not have time to think about countermeasures, and the two sides quickly became a mess.

Originally, the knights wanted to continue to fight with their previous tactics, but before they could form a defensive formation, the monster hordes rushed over and caught them off guard.

Ares rushed to the front, struggling to cut down several monsters to buy time for the knights, and Lydia hurried to help.

Because of her powerful weapons, Lydia didn't have much effort to slay the monsters that scattered the knights' ranks.

Although the knights were in disarray due to the sudden incident, seeing that Lydia and Ares were fighting desperately, they immediately pulled themselves together and helped each other to kill the enemies who had blended into the ranks, and then formed a defensive formation.

Lydia and Ares quickly retreated at this time and entered the knights' protective circle, but at this time, the huge monster immediately began to hit the shields of the outer knights.

After all, the knights are mortal fetuses, although they have usually trained their muscles very well, but they can't withstand this impact like a wild bull, and soon some knights' hands were shocked and dislocated, and their shields fell to the ground.

Because the impact of the monsters kept coming, after the shields of many knights were taken off, they were directly hit, as if they were directly hit by a battering ram, and immediately spit out a large mouthful of blood, and even more thin knights were knocked away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ares hurried to plug the gap, and he used the shield he picked up to block a monster.

However, more monsters began to hit the shield, and Ares couldn't resist it even with great strength, at which point the knight in charge of the attack quickly plunged his sword into the monster, disintegrating its nervous system.

In this way, the battle situation fell into anxiety for a while, and knights were constantly injured, which also meant that the defensive formation would collapse in a short time.

Lydia was also anxious, and she blamed herself a little, feeling that she had underestimated the number and strength of the monsters at the beginning, which led to the unfavorable situation.

Ares saw that she was getting more and more tired and out of spirit, so he hurriedly reminded her.

"Hey, Lydia, what's the matter with you? Don't give up easily! ”

"I ......"

Lydia became more and more in a trance, and a monster took the opportunity to crash into it, only to be blocked by a knight next to her.

The knight looked younger than Lydia and was very thin, and it was impossible to imagine that his body could block such a large impact, but as a result, several ribs seemed to be broken.

However, he did not flinch, but while resisting the monster's body, he stabbed the long sword into the opponent's body with his backhand, but the monster's skin was rough and thick, and he didn't have any extra strength at all.

Lydia looked at him in shock, full of distress, but at this critical juncture, she couldn't lift her sword for some reason, and it seemed that her whole body had become heavy, perhaps because her mind was full of frustration.

Such monsters could have been easily dealt with before, but now they are so tricky, they are likely to be wiped out in this wave of attacks.

"Lydia, you are our only hope, if you lose the will to fight, we will die." Ares yelled in a hurry.

"Lydia, please." The young knight said with a weak expression.

Immediately after, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and was rushed into the depths of the battlefield by the monster.

"No!" Lydia muttered softly, then roared, "You damn thing, get back to me!" ”

She took out the helmet from her waist and put it on, and immediately assumed an offensive posture, holding the sword in her backhand, her legs slammed hard, and she flew into the group of monsters, a series of movements that were almost done by instinct.

She was so angry now, so angry that she didn't even care about her own safety, even if she squeezed out the last of her strength, she must kill these monsters.

Immediately after, a large group of monsters under the black pressure seemed to explode, and many huge monsters were actually knocked away, and when they fell to the ground, they smashed other monsters to death.

Lydia used a sword technique, but it was completely different from the previous sword technique, that is, driven by a strong anger, she awakened a second sword technique.

Lydia spun the blade in her hand, perhaps realizing something in the process of fighting Kresty, and her attack was somewhat similar to Kresty's.

Every time her sword touched the monster's body, it was as if explosives had been placed inside, and it exploded quickly, destroying most of the monster's body in an instant.

As her sword spun, a field formed around her body, and any monster that touched it was blown away.

At this time, the entire battlefield was dominated by Lydia, who was in a state of rage, and once again it became a situation where a knight unilaterally tortured and killed a group of monsters.

……

There seemed to be nothing to do with the other knights, and they finally had a chance to rest, and Ares hurriedly arranged for the wounded to return to the city gates, but when they approached, they found that Chrysti was covered in tentacles with a terrifying appearance.

It was the same characteristic as the primitive species of the demons, and now, the knights finally understood that Ares was not lying, and the paladin Chrysti, whom they had always admired, had really rebelled and degenerated into a member of the demons.

The knights were more angry than disappointed, they all worked for Chrysti in order to become real knights, and for knights, the most important quality is loyalty, but they didn't expect that they had been serving a traitor all along, what an irony, it was simply a blasphemy of chivalry.

So Ares stood in front of them and called on the knights to join them in their crusade against this traitor to the knightly realm.

Naturally, the knights responded, and except for some of the knights who were seriously injured, the rest of them rushed into the city gate under the leadership of Ares.

However, Ares had previously glanced at Lydia and feared that she would be alone on the battlefield, but after seeing her easily blow up a large group of monsters around her into meat sauce, he was relieved and decided to turn all his attention to Chrysti.

After all, the other party is a paladin, and there is a question mark over whether they can fight together.

Lydia had noticed the knights retreating, but instead of being discouraged, she felt that she was finally able to give it a go.

In fact, it is not by chance that she was able to awaken new sword skills in an instant, her dream has always been to become a paladin like Cresti, although in the end her expectations for Cresti were dashed, but this did not become a reason for her to give up.

On the contrary, she has been working hard to defeat Kresty, and it is necessary to cultivate more powerful sword skills.

When she was sparring with Krestie before, she actually used part of the new sword technique, which was to concentrate her power on the blade and burst out when she touched the enemy.

This sword technique has nothing special in the process of being released, so it is easy to be overlooked by the enemy, and when the weapons of the enemy and the enemy come into contact, the enemy's weapon will be damaged by a huge impact.

However, this trick is also just right to use against monsters.

Lydia continued to fight among the monsters, which seemed to be not afraid of death, and rushed at her frantically, with a deafening roar.

Lydia wasn't afraid of the constant stream of monsters, and it was the annoying noise that really annoyed her.

She secretly decided that when this battle was over, she must find a quiet place to vacation.
