Chapter 222 Hunting Grounds
The expected collision did not happen!
Greem hadn’t had a brain stroke yet. He wasn’t nearly dumb enough to have the clay golems clash head on with the witcher-knights wrapped in their steel armor.
Of course, if these were all stone golems instead of clay golems, Greem wouldn’t mind appreciating a glorious clash between steel and stone! However, it was probably best to forget it since they were made of clay.
Clay golem after clay golem sunk into the dirt beneath them before they even made contact with the witcher-knights. Numerous dirt pillars half as tall as a man and as thick as a child’s arm rose from the ground, spreading across the path of the knights’ charge.
The witcher-knights were the most powerful force on this plane after all. Each one of them had exceptional riding skills and agility. They commanded the colts under them to leap up and dive low, sometimes even jumping towards a tall tree and bouncing off of it to avoid the impediment of the dirt pillars.
Moreover, the radiant knights and spellbreaker knights standing at the very front of the formation were using all their strength to let out violent blades of flame and ice, ravaging through all the obstacles on their way forward. The clay golems responsible for hindering the army’s progress could only change their battle plan when faced with such powerful enemies. They started to create swamps that covered large areas to slow the enemy down.
Numerous forests of dirt pillars and endless patches of quicksand and swamps filled the battlefield. Even though the clay golems hadn’t killed a single witcher-knight, they had effectively slowed them down and stopped their march forward.
The battlefield he entered would never have radiant knights fighting in them. The path he walked down would never put him within a large group of spellbreaker knights. As for those determined witcher-knights– as long as they didn’t band together in excessively large numbers, they were unable to cause any real harm to Greem.
The battlefield was chaotic, with numerous opportunistic adepts sneaking into the battles to start a slaughter along with the hordes of clay golems and voodoo beasts rampaging about the enemy lines. Even those radiant knights that wanted to pursue Greem could only chase behind him for a bit before having their attention drawn away by a new enemy and falling into another round of battles.
Through the sacrifices of a large number of clay golems and voodoo beasts, Greem turned into a predator on the battlefield, fearlessly hunting his prey!
