Abe the Wizard - Chapter 960
Chapter 960: Retreat
As the Holy knights quickly restructured their formation Doff appeared above Mad knight Mead again.
Mad knight Mead was furious. No beast had ever put him in such an embarrassing situation. He lifted his sword. Since the Holy Freeze slowed down doff, Mad knight Mead had enough time to react.
“My lord, condemn the evil of this creature!” He roared and struck his sword forward. Afterward, a strike of lightning slammed against Doff, who was striking with its giant rod.
It was the Fist of Heaven, a spell to counteract immortal souls. Normally, it could only give Doff some lightning damage, but with Mad knight Mead’s calculation, Doff had taken another hit.
Doff’s body began to twitch. When its strike actually landed, most of its power was drained.
Mead knight Mead gently blocked the strike. By that point, he knew that Doff’s rod was not a normal rod, so he only used enough force to absorb the rod’s power.
Doff’s strike failed, and it was numbed and frozen in front of the knights.
Although the numbness would go away quickly, the Holy Freeze remained a problem.
Suddenly, he opened up a melting potion for Doff through its soul chain, and a yellow glow emerged on him. When the numbness from the lightning faded, the frost also melted.
It was struck by Mad knight Mead 3 times during that time, and a big cut opened on its leg.
The defense of Beamon was scary. Besides a giant dragon, almost nothing could come close.
Even facing the most powerful close-range attacker, it took Mad knight Mead’s 3 ‘revenge’ combo strike to break its skin.
However, a hopeless look emerged from Mad knight Mead’s face. The cut he made immediately vanished in a flash of purple light.
Doff was good as new and a yellow glow then melted its frost as well.
Mad Knight Mead felt like he was back in the situation where he was fighting with the Big Druid Lendo’s giant bear transformation in the tree of life valley. Every time he did the damage, all the giant bear did was drink up a potion. He was helpless.
He turned towards the city wall of bay law city. Maybe their biggest loss in this invasion was not killing Master Bennett.
Doff also did not remain in the knight formation. Instead, it teleported away.
The holy knights reshaped themselves, and the battle with the druids’ summons began.
Actually, it was more like a massacre.
White light kept flashing, and the summons automatically returned to their owner’s monster bay. Although they couldn’t die, it would still take a long time to heal their injuries.
The death of the summons suddenly shook up the high-energy druids. They remembered they were facing the most powerful enemy of the Holy Continent. The team of Holy knights in a formation.
The druids began to slow down, but some had already arrived in front of the knights.
“Kill them all!” Mad Knight Joseph roared and unleashed a charge again.
The knight formation plunged towards 10,000 druids, and their aura mostly absorbed the druids’ attack. Although some knights still got hurt, they could revive with just a bit of time.
On the other hand, the druids did not have a tactic like the well-trained knights. As soon as their line was broken, they were thrown into chaos, and each of them could only fight for themselves.
Druids were sliced up by knights one by one. Some of them were slowed by the aura as they were running. There were even some druids who entered the range of the aura and got killed immediately.
In less than a minute, thousands of druids dropped dead. The druids began to disperse in defeat.
“Your Majesty, is this what you wanted?” Abel lowered his voice and asked.
“Master Bennett, I just wanted the kingdom and tree of life to be safe next time when those knights invade!” Queen Luisa said, trembling slightly. She couldn’t stand to see the massacre.
She had decided ever since the battle outside the tree of life valley ended.
If the Goddess did not grace Lorraine and help Abel sign an equal contract with the tree of life, the tree men would not be able to stop the knights.
If they weren’t so lucky, the tree of life and Bay Law City would have turned into ancient history and a joke in the Central Continent. If that was the case, the elves would never be able to lift their heads again.
She needed to let the elves know what they lacked. Changes needed to happen!
Abel shook his head again and connected with Doff through the soul chain. It then appeared within the knight formation and waved its giant rod around. Since those knights were in an attack formation, their defense was no longer as strong.
As Doff waved around, many knights were sent flying. The elite ones were badly injured, and some had even died on the spot. The intermediate ones, on the other hand, were directly turned into flat pieces of meat.
The formation quickly reacted and stopped their attack, unless if they divided themselves and kept attacking. They had to change into a defensive formation.
However, Mad knight Mead knew they couldn’t divide themselves. Smaller teams would not be able to withstand the strikes of so many big druids in the city.
“Retreat!” Mad knight Mead roared and quickly turned back to the position of Bali Castle.
He didn’t want to fight with Doff anymore. It was meaningless. With so many options, it could be able to recover no matter how much damage he caused.
Even if he gathered all his team’s power, they couldn’t kill Doff in one strike, so killing it by himself was not too realistic.
“That’s a powerful Beamon!” Queen Luisa sighed, seeing the retreating knights.
All the big druids were stunned as they turned towards Abel with looks of gratitude.
The elite druids, on the other hand, didn’t care too much about his beast, but they were still stunned ever since Master Bennett appeared with the big druid energy. After all, Master Bennett’s life force was so young it was almost unbelievable.
Still, becoming a big druid at a young age was not as admirable as having a powerful beast for the long-living druids.
With his title of number one Master potion maker in the Central Continent, his place in their hearts raised in prestige once again.
“Master Bennett, can we use your Sky Sparrow to follow the knights?” Big Druid Lucia bowed to Abel and gave Lorraine a look.
However, Lorraine pretended she didn’t see the look. After all, she would not comment on Abel’s decision or go against it.
“Sure, Big Druid Lucia!” Abel smiled. Following the knights from the sky was the safest.
Even if half of the knights were dead, those 5000 knights were still not something the elves could beat.
The losing druids slowly returned to the city, and many elves from their city came to the rescue. They speed into the battlefield to help the surviving druids.
White Cloud landed on the City wall on Abel’s command, and the 10 big druids from the temple stepped on along with Queen Luisa. Looking at the yearning look on Lorraine’s face, Abel also allowed her to step on.
The 8 druids from the city remained on guard as White Cloud flapped its giant wings towards the retreating knight.
“That’s Bali castle, where the knights first appeared!” Queen Luisa lowered her voice and pointed towards the ground. A protection circle surrounded a giant hole.
“Your Majesty, do you want me to destroy the hole?” Abel asked.
Doff was still following behind the knights, and that protection circle did not have the ability to stop teleportation. All Doff needed was to flash within and destroy it with one strike.
“Master Bennett, there is no need. Just let the evil knights go. The elves can’t take any more damage!” Queen Luisa shook her head.
Help from the Wizard Union would arrive in an hour or so, and they might be able to take down those 5000 knights along with the 8 mad knights at that point, but at what cost.
What kind of damage would the elves take during this time? And what would the knights do without a way to escape?
Or maybe a few more mad knights were lurking in Ervo Forest.
As the queen of the New Asia kingdom, Queen Luisa had to consider the elves and their sovereignty.
The elf traitor Angelo Harmon stood by himself next to the giant teleportation circle. He did not have permission to use it, so he could only wait for the Holy Knights.
At that moment, every second felt like an eternity to him.
As he worried, he saw Mad knight Mead appeared with the Holy knights.
However, as an experienced judge, he could see that Mad Knight Mead was not looking good. It seems like the invasion did not go to plan.
He then quickly discovered 2 Mad knights were absent, and half of the holy knights were gone.
He carefully stepped back. He knew the best thing to do was keep quiet and wait for Mad Knight Mead to bring him along.
He needed to make sure those clearly damaged knights did not unleash their fury on him. After all, every single one of them could kill him with one strike.
The teleportation began with a few hundred knights each round. In only a few minutes, all 5000 knights were teleported. After the loss, those knights had a yearning for some. Even without saying a word, they speeded up their movements.
The last group to go was the 8 mad knights.
As they stood on the teleportation circle, Angelo Harmon finally yelled, “Mr. Mead, you forgot about me!”
It was too late. In a flash of white light, the 8 mad knights vanished. But in that split of a second, Angelo Harmon saw a cold smirk on Mad Knight Mead’s face.
If their mission was successful, Mad knight Mead wouldn’t mind bringing a dog back with him to manage those elves in institutions, but they had failed. In fact, they had taken a big loss. He was already doing Angelo Harmon a great favor for not killing him on the spot. There was no chance of bringing him back. Unless he wanted to be reminded of his loss every time he saw Angelo Harmon.
“You forgot about me….” Angelo Harmon dropped on the ground and mumbled.
Suddenly, a giant rod slammed against the protection circle, and it was broken in a clean crack.
White Cloud landed on the destroyed castle with 10 Big Druids stepping down with Queen Luisa and Lorraine.
Abel scanned the underground hole with his power of the will, and a strange look emerged on his face.
“Doff, drag him out!” He turned and said.
Doff directly penetrated the ground with its hand and grabbed, but Abel’s voice emerged again.
“Doff, be careful. That teleportation circle is expensive!”
Doff quickly softened its moves and gently lifted Angelo Harmon out. Afterward, he threw him in front of Abel.
