Chapter 1010: Volume 32, Gathering Dark Clouds, - 28, A Farce
Vladimir Koff coldly glanced at the tip of the Knight Spear in his hand, from which crimson blood was stealthily dripping off the dark gray blade. At this moment, his heart was indescribably exhilarated, experiencing a sense of pleasure he hadn’t felt in a long time. The wound on his back still throbbed painfully, and the heavy blow to his waist made his chest feel stuffy, but none of these affected the joy in Vladimir Koff’s heart.
Coming to Mist Flower Hills, Vladimir Koff had never considered it a leisurely trip. Like everyone else, their true purpose in coming to Mist Flower Hills was to engage in real combat, to refine and temper themselves, and to undergo a complete baptism. This was the expectation of everyone including Vladimir Koff, and this battle had finally achieved their goal.
Twelve Dark Elf Swordsmen and three Cave Elf Crossbowmen, and also the seven magicians from the Assyrian People, brought significant trouble and damage to the Black Flame Knights. Along with sixty Assyrian Warriors, this battle was indeed a fierce and equally matched clash.
The eyes of three Dark Elves were a deep crimson, thin and slender blades shimmered with a cold glow under the sunlight, and their slim and tall figures clad in well-suited leather armor made their movements appear even more agile and swift.
However, for Vladimir Koff, the three Elven Swordsmen were not the most dangerous enemies. Confident in his abilities in face-to-face combat, Vladimir did not consider himself inferior to anyone. Rather, it was the two Elves hidden on the side among the branches, armed with crossbows, who were the most dangerous. Their unexpected arrows were not only effective in restraining Vladimir Koff’s advance but also often perfectly coordinated with the three Elven Swordsmen’s attacks, making their assaults more aggressive and hazardous.
The three Elf Swordsmen had every reason to feel furious and vent. Within just a few rounds, without giving the other Elves any chance to react, two Swordsmen had already fallen to Vladimir Koff’s Knight Spear. One had been corroded alive by Vladimir Koff’s Dark Magic Force, rendering him unable to form an effective defense, and was directly nailed to the trunk of an oak tree. Another two Elf Swordsmen were struck down by his intensely ferocious Fighting Qi that shattered their breastbones, and they lay on the ground, their life and death unknown to this day.
Compared to Vladimir Koff’s direct challenge to the stronger foes, the Magician Team achieved much more significant results. The furious Thunder Magic Array directly dismantled the attack formations made by Assyrian Warriors. Although the magicians of the Assyrian People quickly realized their lapse, their intervention did not reverse the situation. The magical attacks not only destroyed the fighting morale of the Assyrian Warriors but also dragged the Assyrian Mage Team into the fray. Facing the ruthless offensive from the Dark Wizards, the Assyrian Mage Team was barely able to organize an effective defensive system, and they were forced to adopt a defensive and passive strategy to withstand the relentless magical barrage.
