Chapter 225
Chapter 225 Defensive Battle
The flames of war had slowly inched forward!
Several areas along the defensive lines had been breached. The witcher-knights rode tall on their magic colts while waving their blinding longswords, frequently appearing at the edge of the adepts’ base. They engaged in deadly battle with the voodoo beasts, robotic beasts, and ghouls standing guard there.
If the surroundings of the base hadn’t been littered with numerous magic traps, the hordes of witcher-knights would probably have long since swarmed into the base and started their siege on the war tower.
Even so, the space left for the adepts to maneuver themselves was slowly decreasing as the frontline gradually closed in to the adepts’ tower. A final fighting force was slowly assembling in front of the gates of the tower. Thirteen adepts were defending this spot to their deaths, not giving even an inch of ground.
Over three hundred summoned beasts and puppets of all kinds were active in this flat, five hundred meter wide battlefield. The weaker voodoo beasts and robotics beasts had already fallen under the butcher’s blade of the witcher-knights.
The forest to the side of the tower had received even more devastating damage. Vast stretches of flame and ferocious storms were raging everywhere. Once the violent flames had started it was hard to extinguish them. In the blink of an eye, the woods in a radius of several dozen kilometers had been engulfed by a sea of fire.
Squad after squad of witcher-knights scrambled out of the forest, rallying outside the adepts’ base.
Moreover, the price he paid in return were only some trivial wounds!
Three of the metallic tentacles had been cut off, while another two had sustained different degrees of damage. When Adept Hyde transformed back from squid form to his human form, large areas of his body’s surface were missing. The numerous rapidly spinning gears and bearings in his body started to creak and grind, as if the running of his machinery had started to fall apart.
At this moment, Greem’s luck seemed to have come to an end!
A radiant knight appeared before him, leading two spellbreaker knights and a hundred witcher-knights in a savage sprint. They roared and let out battlecries as they rushed forward. At this moment, Second Grade Adept Fügen was having a massive fight with two radiant knights at the front of the defensive circle. Even the three body-refining adepts had to silently retreat from the area.
Due to the limited space on the battlefield, the Flame Fiend Greem transformed into found it difficulty to create a magma pool that was vast enough to hinder the enemy, while the golems under his control were not sufficient enough to hold back such a powerful assault.
Greem could only bet with his life on the line, shouting as he prepared to fight!
