Chapter 32 Ambush

“Retreat now!”

After a few waves of beatings, the number of knights decreased by more than half.

The captain of this small team was already filled with fear.

Originally, they had come in confidently to raid the Demonic Forest.

But he hadn’t expected to be ambushed.

Before the battle even started, more than half of the troops had already died.

Knights were supposed to die for the Light. Sacrifice was a glorious thing.

However, so many of them had died before they could even see the enemy. This was too aggrieved.

This was the first time the captain of this small team had suffered such a huge setback.

He was now thinking about how to save his life and the lives of his remaining subordinates.

So he gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

Although he was only a team leader, the cavalry under him was the full force under the command of Holy Light Adjudicator Andrew.

It was only a small sliver of a team against the population of the Demonic Forest.

Therefore, Andrew did not participate personally tonight. Instead, he let him, the division leader, take full command.

All of them had been confident of this battle.

They didn’t even wait for the rest of the army to catch up with him before they rode away.

This was because none of the reinforcements from Kaidi City were knights. Without a warhorse of their own, they could not outrun them on two legs.

They remembered clearly that they had mocked the remnants of the army before they set off.

But now, they, who had set off first, had

suffered a devastating blow.

As for the remaining soldiers who were

running slowly, they were fine.

The huge contrast made the division leader want to bang his head against the wall.

“Ahhh! Retreat quickly!”

The division leader roared at the top of his lungs. From time to time, he raised his spear and pushed aside boulders and logs.

However, his subordinate’s reply was like a bucket of cold water to him.

“Captain, we can’t retreat anymore! Those

demonic creatures have blocked all our escape

routes!”

“What?! How did this happen!”

The division leader’s eyes widened, and he

hurriedly looked behind him.

Then, they realized that their escape route

had been blocked by the huge rocks that had piled up into a small mountain.

“Damn it!”

The unilateral slaughter continued. The

knights below were sitting ducks.

After only an hour, most of the cavalry were

dead.

There were less than a hundred knights left, and almost all of them were injured.

None of the warhorses survived.

The knights had become an infantry.

They were no longer a threat to the demonic

creatures.

“All right, warriors, it’s time to charge!”

The demonic creatures roared excitedly.

The invincible knights that struck fear in their hearts were now crippled by them without much effort.

This psychological contrast made them feel even more excited than taking down a city.

Just as they were shouting excitedly, a calm but dignified voice suddenly sounded. The death of the monsters came to an abrupt end, and excitement appeared on their faces. They knew that voice too well.

“Holy Master! Long live the Holy Master!”

Excited cheers sounded again. The next

moment, all the demonic creatures carried out

the Holy Master’s orders.

Like a tidal wave, it rushed into the canyon

from above.

At this moment, the morale of the soldiers

was high. After rushing to the bottom of the valley, they quickly subdued the remaining knights.

It had to be said that these knights had their

own set of values.

Even when they were seriously injured, they resisted instead of surrendering.

A few demon soldiers killed by them were actually due to their carelessness. Then, these knights who had killed demons

were torn to pieces by the demon soldiers behind them.

They were some who actually tried to summon a griffin.

However, as soon as the griffin swooped

down, it was shot down by the Lizard People, who were good at throwing.

In the end, the Knights Legion was wiped out.

The remaining thirty-two knights were all captured.

That included the division leader.

This team leader’s strength had already

reached Fifth Realm, so he was able to survive

in this chaotic situation.

With the situation under control, Lucian

drifted down.

The black wings, even in the night, reflected a throbbing light.

Lucian landed gently in front of the division leader, a sneer on his lips.

“You’re too weak. You’re not a Holy Light

Adjudicator. Looks like you’re just a scapegoat!”

“Tell me, what is the name of your Holy Light

Adjudicator?”

Lucian leaned down slightly and looked the knight-commander in the eye.

His gaze was as sharp as a sword, as if he

could see into a person’s heart. The commander could not help but be stunned by Lucian’s temperament.

However, in the next moment, a ruthless expression appeared on his face.

“It seems that you, Birdman, are the leader of these demonic creatures! I advise you to let me go and head to the city on your own to apologize to the Holy Light Adjudicator. Otherwise, with the crimes you have committed today, the anger of the Adjudicator will definitely crush your entire clan!”

In the face of the knight’s affront, Lucian

showed no sign of anger.

He only smiled faintly and said, “I’ll consider

what you said. Can you answer my question now?” “Pfft! How can a lowly demon know the

Judge’s name! I advise you to be sensible, or else…”

From beginning to end, Lucian’s attitude was very calm, which seemed to make the commander mistakenly think that Lucian wouldn’t dare to kill him.

Now Lucian straightened up and shook his

head. “How uncooperative of you. Since you are of no value to me, go to hell!”

Then, they turned around one after another

and waved their hands.

Then a Jackal raised his machete and

beheaded him.

Even until his death, the team leader could

not believe that these lowly demons actually dared to kill him.

After killing the division leader, Lucian decided that the remaining knights were of no value, so he executed them all as well.

With that done, Lucian left the battlefield. Before leaving, he asked the fast-moving Jackals to send a team to the rear to stop the reinforcements coming from the city. He also told them to be careful not to kill

everyone. He needed these troops to send the news back.

After the knights were defeated, the entire battle ended very quickly.

Soon, the remnants of the army, once again

crippled, returned to Kaidi City and relayed the news.

In the main hall of the Capital City. “Impossible! This is impossible! How can those damned monsters have such intelligence! I don’t believe it!”

Holy Light Adjudicator, Andrew thought

grimly. His remaining personal guards bowed their heads, unable to look him in the face. “Those demonic creatures are too lawless! They even dare to slaughter the Knights of the

Holy Empire! I want to personally kill them

all!”
