Chapter 992: Volume 32 Dark Clouds Gather - 10 A Crushing Blow
The pace of the Attica Knights had increased continuously, so their formation began to show a slight disorder. However, in terms of momentum, they still maintained absolute initiative and advantage. They kept closing in and striking from both sides, then tearing through and breaking the enemy lines, attempting to utterly defeat the Homer Knights before they could escape.
The Homer Knights proved to be remarkably resilient. Though they fought while in retreat, their formation remained intact. The way they maintained a teasing distance was particularly frustrating for the Attica Knights, who could not land the finishing blow. At the most crucial moments, the Homer Knights would deftly accelerate to break away, leaving the Attica Knights’ efforts in vain—a fact that made Viscount Basman wish he could personally charge to the front to bite into those fleeing Homer Knights.
The two sides chased and battled across the plains, and due to the intensity of the conflict, the battle slowly extended backward, moving away from the established battlefield on the plain to the edges of a gently undulating slope. The following Attica Cavalrymen, however, remained remarkably restrained. Although they followed closely behind the Knights, aside from remaining on alert, they hardly took part in the actual fighting, perhaps believing that the Knights could resolve the battle on their own without competing for glory.
Baoling’s gaze followed the shifting battle line until the target had entered the predetermined area, and only then did he nonchalantly signal to the flag bearer beside him.
The Magician Team, which had been hidden in the waiting area, now silently emerged from their covert position in the gentle slope’s brushwood. Their invisibility, courtesy of Space Magic, kept the Attica Knights and Cavalry completely unaware of the Magicians lurking there, setting the stage for the cavalry to pay a heavy price for their negligence and oversight.
Rumbles of Yin Thunder rolled across the sky, which seemed to grow dark all at once. Accompanied by the formidable figure of the Thunder God manifesting amidst the dense clouds, a piercing howl swept over the low slopes, rapidly transforming into tangible Wind Blades that streaked across the wilderness.
This was the lavish feast Baoling had prepared for the Attica Knights: a combination of Thunder Magic’s Hammer of Thor and Wind Magic’s Wind Blade rapidly succeeding one another. The ferocious Hammer of Thor, mingled with golden lightning, struck down from above the Attica Knights’ heads, entwining countless arcs of golden electricity and dark thunder forces, creating spatial power fields that swept mercilessly toward the Attica Knights.
At that moment, the Attica Knights’ Anti-magic Cloaks and Armor became their optimal protection against the magic onslaught. The fierce Thunder Element Power within the spatial fields and the tangible Wind Blades of the Wind System became the knights’ most significant threats. The Wind Blades, carrying enough power to shatter ice and stone, whirled wildly across the battlefield. The knights had already forgotten their enemies at the front, having likely never experienced a battle of such magnitude. The true power of the Magicians was without a doubt displayed at this time.
