Chapter 10 Winning the Battle
On the hillside.
Xia Tong rode Toret down the slope, followed by two fanged imps and two lone wolves.
One of the lone wolves had been so badly injured that its spirit had dissipated and it could not be summoned.
Inside the camp ahead of the checkpoint.
The knight Grek continued to walk slowly, the heavy plate armor making a clattering sound with each step, heavy and powerful.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he abruptly turned to look to his left.
Waaah—!
The desolate and urgent sound of the bugle instantly resounded throughout the camp.
All the Grek soldiers in the camp gathered in the direction of the knight.
However, due to Xia Tong's previous deliberate "reduction tactics".
At this moment, including the knight, only eight soldiers remained in the entire camp.
.......
"interesting."
The wandering merchant, Kale, sat on a distant hillside, picked up his bowed string instrument, and began to play it melodiously.
The mournful music echoed across the battlefield.
The battle had already begun down the hillside.
Boom! Boom!
The fanged imp struck first, slamming two dark brown magic pots into the shield of the knight Grek.
The magic exploded, and the shockwave swept outwards.
The Grik soldiers, who were preparing to form ranks, suddenly found their formation in disarray.
"Now!"
Xia Tong seized the opportunity and took out a ceramic pot that emitted a faint light from his bosom—a sleeping pot.
Using the momentum of the horse, he threw it forcefully towards the feet of Knight Grek.
Snapped!
The pottery jar shattered.
A pale purple glow instantly spread around, and a hazy, sweet scent filled the air.
The once menacing Knight Grek suddenly slowed down, his eyelids feeling as if they weighed a ton.
puff.
Not only him, but the three soldiers who were close by also seemed to have their bones removed, and they fell to the ground and fell fast asleep.
In an instant, only 4 of the 8 combatants remained conscious.
They were far enough away that the sleeping pot didn't affect them.
Xia Tong ignored the four awake soldiers, dismounted, grabbed the King's Army spear, and charged at the three sleeping ordinary soldiers.
This is a battlefield; there is no mercy.
laugh!laugh!laugh!
The spear pierced his throat with pinpoint accuracy.
Three streams of blood spurted out in turn, and the three soldiers fell silent in their sleep.
Five left!
Seeing the Knight Grek lying on the ground, snoring loudly, Xia Tong did not greedily attack him.
He knew that elite monsters had extremely high resistance and very short sleep durations; once attacked, they would immediately wake up and go berserk.
He turned to look at the other four conscious Grik soldiers.
"Men, stop them!"
Two fanged imps and two lone wolves had already gone to meet them.
In addition to the four Grek soldiers wielding longswords, there were also two tamed military wolves on the other side.
A chaotic battle is about to break out.
Xia Tong's mind raced.
He spotted a lone soldier, gripped the hilt of the King's Army straight sword with both hands, and held the tip of the sword horizontally.
Combat Technique - Ready Stance!
Deng!Deng!Deng!
He took three heavy steps forward, each step powerful and forceful.
Then, he suddenly flicked the longsword in his hand upwards!
Heavy attack - Upward slash!
clang!
The Grek soldier raised his shield to block, but the force of the blow was too great, breaking through his defenses and sending him flying!
Blood gushed from his chest and abdomen.
Xia Tong knew that the attack was not directly fatal.
He immediately leaped high into the air, sword tip pointing downwards, gripped the hilt with both hands, and used gravity to thrust downwards fiercely!
puff!
It's refreshingly cool.
The Grek soldier twitched twice and fell to the ground, unable to get up. A stream of runes flowed into Xia Tong's body.
59 Runes!
Crash! Crash!
Just then, a heavy clanging sound of armor clashing came from behind.
Xia Tong turned around abruptly.
They discovered that the knight Grek had already stood up!
His eyes were bloodshot, clearly from being forcibly woken up and becoming grumpy, which made him even more irritable.
Melodious music filled the air.
Before anyone knew it, the wandering merchant, Kale, had already ridden his donkey to the nearby high ground.
He played mournful music while gazing at the battlefield like a bard.
Now, the battlefield is divided into two parts.
On one side, there was a chaotic battle between the Ashes Squad and the regular soldiers.
the other side.
It's Xia Tong versus the Knight Grek!
The knight held the enormous shield adorned with a golden lion before him, the white tassel on his helmet fluttering wildly in the wind.
Through the narrow slits in the helmet, the cold gaze made Xia Tong feel as if she were being pricked by needles.
boom!
The Knight Greck moved instantly.
He carried a heavy, gilded shield in his left hand and a sharp knight's lance in his right.
Clang! Clang!
His steps were heavy, and the clanging of his full-body armor made a teeth-grinding sound, like a rhinoceros in iron armor charging towards Xia Tong.
call!
The heavy, straight spear suddenly pierced through the air with a terrifying whooshing sound.
Xia Tong retreated quickly.
Without pausing, Knight Greck took a step forward and thrust out again!
Deadly chain of stabs!
This time, Xia Tong awkwardly dodged to the left.
With a hissing sound.
The pants on the left side of my thigh were torn, and my skin was cut.
Fortunately, it was just a graze and didn't damage any major arteries.
"That was close!"
Before Xia Tong could react, the third poke had already arrived!
This time, Xia Tong didn't retreat. Instead, she gritted her teeth and rolled forward, diving into the inner circle of the knights.
The sharp spear grazed his back, bringing a burning pain.
"Chance!"
Xia Tong stood up, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and thrust upwards, aiming directly at Knight Grek's right shoulder!
Boom!
A muffled thud.
The sword struck the thick shoulder armor, sending sparks flying.
Knight Greck took a step back.
Xia Tong now possesses a full 17 points of strength, making this attack powerful and heavy, which even a knight cannot completely ignore.
However, the Knights of Grek possessed extremely high combat skills.
He remained calm and collected. The gilded shield in his left hand was like a wall. Using the huge shield surface, he smashed it down hard on Xia Tong from top to bottom!
Shield Bash!
boom!
Xia Tong could only raise her sword to block, and was thrown back by the enormous impact.
Soil flew everywhere, and grass clippings flew all over the place.
At this moment, the music played by the wandering merchant, Kale, also stopped.
Clearly, the intense battle between the two completely captivated him.
Xia Tong rolled on the ground in a disheveled manner, retreating rapidly, and the distance between them widened again.
The two began to circle each other in a standoff.
If we draw a circle with the midpoint between the two people as the center.
At this moment, the two of them slowly moved along this circle.
Knight Greck slammed his gilded shield, wider than a door panel, heavily onto the ground in an inhuman, mechanical manner.
Boom!
A muffled thud seemed to strike Xia Tong's heart.
Looking at the somewhat faded gold emblem on the shield, Xia Tong gripped the Monarch's straight sword in her hand even tighter, her palms sweating profusely.
Knight Grek steadily extended his spear from the gap in his shield, the tip pointing directly at Xia Tong.
He huddled behind his shield, transforming into a mobile, impenetrable steel fortress.
This is the most shameless tactic—turtle with shields raised.
Xia Tong took a deep breath.
We can't keep going like this; we can't outlast our opponent.
He tentatively slid to the side, and with a tricky angle, swung his straight sword again at the right shoulder where the Knight Grek had been attacked earlier.
Ding--! !
A piercing clang of metal clashing.
Xia Tong felt a violent jolt in his hand, and the sword blade was easily deflected by the large shield that had been slightly adjusted in angle.
Just as his old strength had just dissipated and his new strength had not yet arisen!
call out!
The knight didn't even move his shield; he merely flicked his wrist.
The spear shot out from behind the shield like a venomous snake striking its tongue!
Shield Spike!
Xia Tong's pupils suddenly contracted!
His instincts, honed through so many days of combat, made him retreat hastily.
But in the end, it was too late.
puff!
A searing pain shot through his left arm; the spear had ripped a gash there, and blood was gushing out.
"What a fast thrust!"
Xia Tong steadied herself, a chill running through her.
This is the knight's most shameless and deadliest move—shield thrust.
It is a perfect combination of offense and defense, with no weaknesses.
Without thinking twice, Xia Tong took out the Red Dew Holy Grail bottle from her bosom and took a big gulp.
The warm liquid entered my abdomen, and the wound on my left arm began to stop bleeding and slowly heal.
Seeing this, Knight Grek seemed to be enraged.
This time, he didn't wait any longer.
Deng!Deng!Deng!
With heavy steps, he charged at Xia Tong once again, like a raging wild bull.
The difference in strength was too great; Xia Tong didn't dare to take the collision head-on.
He seized the opportunity and nimbly rolled to the side.
call!
The sound of the wind swept by.
The Knight Greck missed his target with his charge, and the immense momentum caused him to lose his footing, leaving a brief opening to his side.
"Now!"
Xia Tong did not rashly attempt to strike, but instead instantly stopped and adopted that unusual center of gravity.
He held the sword with both hands, lowered his body, and raised the sword tip.
Combat Technique - Ready Stance!
He poured all his strength into the sword, aiming it at the weakest point in the knight's armor, exposed during the charge.
He launched that swift, powerful upward slash!
"Break for me!!"
Clang!
A sickening metallic tearing sound rang out.
