Slime Cultivation Game

The Night Demon army was too large in number, and under the charge of the cavalry, they were unable to change the direction of the army.

If they turned and retreated, they would face the charging cavalry. If they continued to rush towards Winterhold, they would be met with arrows from the soldiers defending the city.

Fortunately, the Night Demons had strict military discipline and strong combat capabilities. They set up huge shields in the chaos of the battle, met the enemy on the spot, and slowed down the speed of Marquis Logan's charge.

Otherwise, facing the pincer attack from both sides, they would have been defeated long ago.

However, this move also completely immobilized the Night Demon Army and made it a target for the White Cavalry.

"Then let us bring divine punishment to the night demons." Lennon clenched his sword and led the White Knights to chant.

He planned to gather all the strength of the White Knights and use the forbidden technique of the Order Sect - Divine Punishment, to end the war.

This forbidden technique is extremely powerful, and it can even wipe a city off the map with one strike. But the disadvantage is that it requires too many people to release it, and the preparation time is too long. The time from release to effectiveness of the attack is also too long.

On the front battlefield, it's impossible to hit anyone.

But at this moment, it is the most lethal technique.

The light of order flickered among the White Cavalry. A light curtain appeared under the feet of the Pegasus that formed the battle formation. The girl with tears in her eyes appeared on the light curtain again.

The vast power condensed in Lennon's hands, the sky and the earth changed color, the moon was already high in the sky, but the night sky seemed as bright as day.

"Master, you are going to use this trick. It looks like it's really the end. What should we do next?" Shikoti looked at Leo.

"..." Leo pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Have you seen the Night Demon's cavalry?"

"Ah?" Shikoti was stunned for a moment: "No... No. Could it be that he has escaped?"

"I don't know... but I always feel something is wrong." Leo frowned: "I hope I'm overthinking it. Anyway, if something happens later, we just run away and don't care about them."

"Roar!"

Before Leo finished his words, a loud howl came from the end of the sky.

The sound was so loud that it shook the heavens and the earth, and startled the White Cavalry soldiers who were chanting.

Then, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the mist.

The scorching wind blew away the clouds, and its huge body obscured the silver moon. The light of order dimmed in front of it.

Immediately afterwards, a ray of light that could destroy everything burst out from the giant's mouth and arrived in front of the White Cavalry in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, how could it be..."

Lennon swung his sword and slashed at the light with all the strength he had just concentrated.

boom!

The smoke dissipated, and the armor of this sixth-rank warrior completely melted, the Sword of Order was completely shattered, and his whole body was covered with blisters. It was obvious that he had suffered extensive burns.

The warhorse under his crotch was reduced to ashes.

The White Knights rushed forward and caught their knight commander.

With just one strike, this invincible sixth-level warrior lost his combat effectiveness.

With just one strike, the White Cavalry's battle formation was broken.

With just one strike, hundreds of White Cavalry soldiers lost their lives and fell to the ground from the sky.

And the one who started it all.

It's a...

Dragon.

"A body of rock, eyes of fire, scales of diamonds, and power beyond any other life form."

Leo murmured the words he heard from Miss Karin, staring blankly at the creation that only existed in mythology.

He finally understood where the strange feeling that had always lingered in his heart came from, and finally remembered the thought that had sneaked out of his mind when he was chatting with Kallen a few days ago...

Chapter 66: Kallen's Thoughts and Reconciliation

dawn.

In the woods south of Winterhold.

The cold air extinguished the last bit of charcoal in the brazier, a light rain began to fall, and the water of the Winter River became more turbulent.

A team of human cavalry was stationed in the forest. The horses' hooves were tied with black cloth and the soldiers had taken off their heavy armor.

This is not only to speed up the march, but also to prevent the sound of heavy armor collision from attracting night demons.

Two and a half days had passed since Winterhold was breached.

After two and a half days of escape, the guards, which originally consisted of nearly a thousand people, were reduced to less than three hundred.

It's a miracle that he could hold out for so long under the pursuit of the Night Demon.

You know, for the night demons who are agile and can use night magic, this kind of forest with complex terrain, deep and quiet is the most suitable for activities.

The reason they were able to hold out for so long was not only because they had a fourth-rank paladin, Viscount Carter, in their ranks, but also because they had Ms. Kallen, a believer in the Mechanicum, among them.

When it comes to close combat, Kallen, a high-level third-level believer, is simply beaten by the Night Demon soldiers.

Whether in strength, speed or combat experience, she was far behind these well-trained soldiers.

Unfortunately, this is not a frontal battle, but a pursuit battle.

The mechanical traps that Karen carries with her can come in handy.

The best example was the explosion that killed dozens of Night Demon soldiers on the Winterhold Bridge.

The dense forest was very quiet at dawn. Because of the severe winter, there were no insects chirping, only the occasional neighing of horses.

In the makeshift camp, people who were soaked by the rain ate their dry food in small, rapid sips. If they choked, they swallowed it with rain water.

Only a few soldiers gathered around Viscount Carter and Lady Kallen, discussing what to do next.

Logically speaking, dawn is the time when the Night Demons are most tired, and everyone can relax and rest for a while. However, these generals still remain extremely vigilant.

Just because Ms. Kallen is in the army.

These loyal soldiers only had one thought in their minds -

Send Ms. Kallen back to the royal city.

Marquis Logan had a head-on collision with the Night Demon Commander, and he is probably in great danger. Duke Telsk has only two children, and Lady Kallen is the final heir.

Her life cannot be lost.

Of course, Kallen knew this, but under the continuous impact and fatigue, this strong princess almost collapsed, hugged her knees with her hands, and stared blankly.

There was no way around it. No matter how strong her inner character was, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl, and the only environment she grew up in, apart from her family, was the peaceful Steam Academy.

She was like a flower in a hothouse, suddenly watered with bloody scarlet.

Fear mixed with confusion filled her heart, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.

The number of soldiers around him was decreasing, but the pursuers behind him were increasing.

If this goes on, can she escape?

If you want to escape, how should you escape?

If it were you, what would you do?

Unconsciously, Kallen's mind flashed with the image of Leo.

“Oh, what am I thinking about… He flew into the sky with the White Cavalry that day and was the first group of warriors to face… the ancient dragon. How could he possibly survive?” Kallen murmured to herself sadly, with a sigh and a sense of regret.

"Nono! Nono! The familiar smell of Nono!" The mechanical bird on the shoulder suddenly raised its chin, and the ahoge on its head turned around.

"Ok?"

The knights quickly gripped the hilts of their swords and stared at their surroundings.

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

Leo pushed aside the bushes and walked out with Miss Scotti.

The white robes of both men were stained with scarlet, obviously having experienced continuous fighting.

"Leo! It's really you!"

"Well, it's me!"

Viscount Carter was the first to meet Leo, punched him in the chest, and then gave him a big bear hug.

What happened in Winterburg has earned Leo the recognition of this warrior and the soldiers behind him.

Even though they failed to defend the city in the end, there was nothing they could do. Who could have thought that the Night Demon would borrow the power of the ancient dragon?

Leo was also very excited. He had been chasing Kallen's team for two and a half days and finally caught up with them.

The experiences along the way were truly colorful. The traps left by Miss Karen were numerous and well hidden, and almost blew Leo and Shikoti to death.

The biggest trouble they encountered along the way was not the Night Demon, but Miss Karen's bomb.

He is simply a genius at blasting.

Fortunately, there were quite a few corpses of night demons, all of which were devoured by Miss Shikoti, which greatly enhanced her strength.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way."

"You guys, too, have worked hard!"

"Mr. Carter, he is still injured." Miss Scotty walked forward expressionlessly, trying to separate the two gay men who were hugging each other.

“Puchi…” Miss Karen covered her mouth and laughed when she saw this scene.

For some reason, the moment she saw Leo, she had the thought that she must be able to escape.

At the same time, there is also a kind of joy that comes from the heart.

Glad that Leo survived.

Her eyes curved into two crescents.

The sudden laughter changed the solemn atmosphere, and everyone's tense and desperate mood was slightly relieved.

All the soldiers stood up and surrounded them.

"Mr. Leo, come here, I have some water."

"Why drink water? I have some strong liquor here, Mr. Leo. Drink it and it will be good for your wound."

"Alcohol is good for wounds? I think you are confused! I have some dried meat here, Mr. Leo, you can take it and eat it."

"That's not right, you actually hid the wine behind our backs!"

Joyful laughter and scolding came one after another. The numb soldiers seemed to have found a backbone and their morale was restored a lot at once.

"Ms. Karen, Viscount Carter, and everyone else, I appreciate your kindness." Leo patted Carter's shoulder: "But the most urgent task is to escape from the Night Demon first."

"Indeed..." Hearing this, the morale that had just risen dropped a little. Carter sat on the ground and sighed: "These bastards raised by dwarfs are fast and powerful. They are really damn difficult to deal with. Humph, but we may not be defeated."

"The Duke's army must be gathering. Once he sends out his troops, we will be able to chop them into minced meat!"

“…” Leo frowned, said nothing, and sat on the ground with him.

To be honest, Leo couldn't figure out what the invincible overlord of the North was doing now.

This night demon has broken into your hometown, and you still haven’t reacted?

If this continues, Leo will really have to run away with Kallen to the Mechanicus.

Yes, this is the real purpose of Leo coming to find Kallen.

Anyway, Leo had no concept of a country, and no relatives or friends. If he couldn't survive in the North, he would just follow Kallen to the Mechanicus' territory.

After all, Karen is a normal person, not an extreme lunatic, and she is so beautiful.

To do this, he had to max out Karin's favorability and also make sure she didn't die in this pursuit.

"Nono! Nono! Leo, think of a way, Leo, think of a way!" The mechanical bird flew onto Leo's shoulder and spread its wings.

"Well, everyone." Leo blinked: "Excuse me, what are you going to do next?"
