Chapter 130: 95 Attack of the Imperial Knight and... Tornado (4000 words, please subscribe)_2

They were like a ghostly troop, silently sweeping across the battlefield, assassinating every enemy leader or captain whose demise could significantly alter the course of the battle. Even the leaders of the Bloodletting Demons could not escape their assassination attempts unscathed.

Once the leader of a troop was killed, the whole unit would immediately plunge into chaos. Although each warrior of the Catastrophe Legion possessed astonishing strength, such individual strength was almost negligible on such a battlefield if it did not reach the extreme. Without forming an effective formation, they would be easily harvested by other units of their own side.

Moreover, they would not linger over the results of the assassination. Even if the beheading action was unsuccessful, they would immediately retreat and seek the next target, spreading chaos throughout the enemy lines.

After a series of assassinations, the Catastrophe Legion finally noticed this special unit. However, even so, they were still unable to detect this unit from a plane level. At this time, the only reliance was the aerial force.

In some ways, the aerial force of the Catastrophe Legion was the most terrifying.

It was a large group of Revenge Beasts. These Revenge Beasts, with their sharp claws and tough skin, had bat-like wings granting them rapid flight capabilities. Although their individual combat strength was only stronger than the Bloodletting Demons, their aerial advantage often left the Imperial Army with no solution.

Another was the leader of the Revenge Beasts, the Bloodthirsty Demon.

This was a type of high-level Demon, whose pair of huge wings supported not only their massive bodies, allowing them to fly freely in the air, but more terrifyingly, the Bloodthirsty Demon’s own combat strength was enough to annihilate an organized mortal army, including the Emperor’s Forbidden Army... Only a few Seat Knights could barely contend with them.

Fortunately, these high-level Demons did not appear in groups. As the leaders of the Revenge Beasts, there would be at most one or two in each battle.

However, perhaps influenced by Khorne’s will, this war had broken the norm. There were as many as eight Bloodthirsty Demons currently on the battlefield. Although they were positioned at the rear of the troops, when their gaze descended to the ground, even the Stealthed Dark Night Elves felt a strong threat.

But soon, that threat was eliminated.

For as a large number of Revenge Beasts fell dead from the sky, the Bloodthirsty Demons had to shift their attention to another person.

Lancelot.

Among all the Seat Knights, Lancelot was the only one with the ability to fly, so her target was clear: to eliminate the enemy’s aerial force. Even before Gawain’s troops broke into the enemy lines, Lancelot was already flying solo into the sky. Without a throat-ravaging cheer, without a particularly high morale, she was like a machine, coldly and ruthlessly slaughtering all the Revenge Beasts visible to the naked eye.

And after a large number of Revenge Beasts died, she finally felt several intent-to-kill directed at her.

Then, she found herself surrounded by four Bloodthirsty Demons.

Beep beep!

A strange sound rang from Lancelot’s visor; she knew it was a warning from the system. Even for her, the odds of standing alone against four Bloodthirsty Demons were quite low.

But she didn’t care. Pausing midair, she reached to press lightly on her visor.

Immediately, a series of data appeared in her view.

[Data check complete]

[Disengage normal mode]

"Annihilation mode activated," Lancelot murmured, and in the next moment, the blue armor on her body automatically detached, revealing the slender figure of a young girl. Rather than discarding her fallen armor, it began to automatically assemble with her Dual Swords. In a blink, they transformed into two gigantic blades, like wings, each attached to one of her wrists.

[Annihilation mode activated!]

Boom!

Suddenly, a hot stream of air burst from Lancelot’s feet, violently propelling her body forward, while the blades in her hands rapidly spun. One of the Bloodthirsty Demons didn’t even have time to react before Lancelot flew straight through its body.

Yes, in an instant, that Bloodthirsty Demon was cut into two halves by her high-speed spinning blades.

"Victory! Victory!"

"That is the power of the Premier Knight!"

"Victory!"

Even the formidable Bloodthirsty Demons were not a match for Lancelot. Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but erupt into enthusiastic cheering, and the ground combat troops were also encouraged by Lancelot, bursting with even more powerful strength.

"For the Empire, kill!"

"For the Empire!"

"For the Empire!"

At this moment, whether human or beastman, even including the Dark Night Elves, all excitedly shouted, continuously contributing their power on the battlefield.

The Empire is not just an empire of humans, but also an empire of all intelligent races of this world.

Two hundred years ago, due to the Catastrophe Legion’s sudden invasion, not only were a great number of human kingdoms annihilated, but some races were completely erased from the history stage. The key reason, aside from the Catastrophe Legion’s own might, was the war incited by the Dark King, preventing most races from recovering to their former glory.

Therefore, afterwards, faced with the strong attacks of the Catastrophe Legion, many races edged towards extinction.

So, when Sigma established the Empire and called for an alliance among all races, these races did not hesitate to join, figuring it was better to be used as cannon fodder and sacrificed than to be wiped out by the Catastrophe Legion.

But Sigma was a man of great foresight. He knew that relying solely on human power, it was absolutely impossible to defeat the Catastrophe Legion. Towards these alien races, he was not only unharsh, rather he made great efforts to resolve conflicts between the various races, allowing all races that joined the Empire to have the opportunity to thrive. This action not only preserved the diversity of the races, but also thoroughly won the alien races’ allegiance to the Empire.

Even two hundred years later, today, the alien races’ sense of identification with this human-established Empire has not weakened at all.

The number of alien race warriors who have sacrificed on the battlefield may be overall less than humans, but in terms of racial proportion, they have never been lower than the humans.

"Quartermaster, I want to join the battle."

"Emperor?"

"I want my troops and myself to go to the battlefield."

"Emperor, this... this is not acceptable."

"Why? When warriors are throwing their heads and shedding their blood, do you expect me to just stand here and watch helplessly?"

Caster said loudly, his eyes widening. In this defensive war, as an Emperor, he considered not being able to fight alongside the warriors to be unacceptable.

But even so, the Quartermaster still shook his head.

It was not easy for the Empire to choose a suitable Emperor, and because the intensity of the war was so high, anyone could die on the battlefield. That was why he couldn’t allow Caster to fight, especially since the current Emperor was still too young and if, by chance, something happened...

In the Empire, the Quartermaster’s position might not be high, but his authority was vast, almost covering all logistics and troop deployment affairs. Even Caster, as the Emperor, needed the Quartermaster’s consent to go to the battlefield, but no matter how persuasively Caster spoke, the Quartermaster just wouldn’t agree to his request to join the battle, even at the risk of defying an imperial command.

"Let him go."

Just as the two were at an impasse, a voice sounded by their ears.

They turned around, only to see an eagle flying in from the sky, then transforming into Le Cheng’s figure, landing on the city wall.

"The Son of Heaven guards the state gates; the monarch dies for the country. As the Emperor of the Empire, how can there be no fighting."

"Divine Envoy! But His Majesty is still so young..."

"It’s fine, isn’t it? I’m here," Le Cheng smiled, then without waiting for the Quartermaster to reply, he grabbed Caster, "Come on, let’s go and give Khorne’s Catastrophe Legion a good beating."

Saying that, he directly pulled Caster and jumped down from the twenty-some-meter-high city wall.

"Ah—"

"Emperor!?"

Amidst Caster’s cry of alarm, the Quartermaster’s face was stricken with panic, instinctively running to the edge of the wall, leaning out to look down.

Subsequently, he saw a twister enveloping their Emperor, roaring towards the battlefield.

There’s such a maneuver?!

Seeing this scene, not just the Quartermaster, but even the warriors on the city wall were stunned.

"How is it, your first time in a twister, exhilarating?"

Caster could never have imagined that he would rush to the battlefield in such a manner, and there Le Cheng was asking him if it was exhilarating. The dizzying sensation, where could it be exhilarating!
