After a brief hesitation, the elite knights below moved. In an extremely short time, they separated a portion of the elite among elites to stay by Seraphina’s side.
The rest only emitted the cold metallic clanging of armor friction and the successive booming as their magical horses trampled the ground.
They were like a single entity, transforming into a black steel torrent, silently and precisely cutting into the chaotic battlefield.
The soldiers stationed here year-round were certainly strong, but before this force, they were like a minor sorcerer before a great one; in comparison, they could even be called weak.
It should be known that this army was the one that followed Movira in battles across the Demon Realm, ultimately subduing all demons by force.
Their combat power was simply not something these garrison troops could compare to.
They were the ace direct-line army, the foundation of the Demon Realm.
Their fighting style was fundamentally different from the outpost soldiers.
Shadow demon soldiers relied on ghostly speed and poisoned blades for lethal strikes, while troll soldiers depended on immense strength and heavy shields for frontal advances.
But between these elite knights, there seemed to be an invisible connection. They didn’t need to speak at all; every movement and action replaced any concise words.
Long spears thrust with their magic. Every attack targeted vitals, specifically joints and eye sockets of lesser demons.
That magic-infused strike not only tore flesh but also eroded the already chaotic life force of lesser demons, making wounds hard to heal and even self-ulcerating.
However, the number of lesser demons was truly too many, as if all the filth of the abyss had poured out here.
Those few giant lesser demons were even mobile fortresses. Ordinary attacks landing on them couldn’t even scratch their scales!
Usually, several shadow demon soldiers could barely restrict one giant lesser demon’s movements—just restriction, not killing.
Moreover, they seemed able to mobilize surrounding weaker lesser demons to pin down several demon soldiers for them.
They roared. Several twisted their forelimbs, fiercely smashing the ground. The violent shock made several soldiers who couldn’t dodge in time stumble and fall, immediately facing the surging lesser demons……
Seraphina stood on the watchtower, heart pounding with fear. Her nails dug deep into her palms without realizing. She had to do something.
But…… what could she do?
She had neither strong attack power nor reliable support—just…… a useless body and…… a brain?
Bask also personally joined the battle. He wielded his heavy sword, roaring as he cleaved into a giant lesser demon, cracking off several fragments.
As a seasoned warrior, he could tangle with one giant lesser demon alone. Even unable to kill it, he left several wounds on its body.
Black, foul-smelling blood splashed onto his armor and heavy sword. But it should be known, he was a shadow demon, yet…… wielding a heavy sword.
Seraphina suddenly looked around her. She felt something was missing……
It was the commander of the army, the marshal!
Bask was not a marshal. He could be an outstanding general, leading soldiers to charge and break through. But he would never become a great marshal.
There was an essential difference between marshal and general. A general, like Bask, directly led troops.
A marshal led generals.
“I understand……”
Seraphina gazed over the battlefield. In the night, her violet eyes burst with sharp light, as if piercing all darkness.
“Bask!” She used all her strength, shouting Bask’s name toward the nearby battlefield. “Now, your soldiers must coordinate with my knights!”
In a brief opening, Bask glanced at Seraphina, acknowledging the order.
After receiving the firm response, Seraphina turned again to shout at the knights below the watchtower. “Can you connect with the other knights on the spot?”
The temporary leader nodded, giving an affirmative response.
“Good.”
The murderous cold wind couldn’t chill Seraphina. Her body was hotter than ever.
Was she about to command a large-scale battle?
The excitement in her heart had already overridden the wind’s assault.
Eagle-like sharp eyes keenly swept the entire battlefield. Past experience and the macro vision honed over this year wonderfully fused at this moment.
The knights by Seraphina’s side built a communication path with those on the battlefield, able to directly transmit her voice there.
Her command rang out among the many knights for the first time. “Everyone, coordinate with me!”
“North wing, abandon hard charges; retreat fifty steps!”
The knights below didn’t understand but military orders were like mountains. They had to retreat. Several giant lesser demons indeed madly advanced through this sudden gap.
“Split fifty knights to advance further north. I don’t want casualty numbers; I want you to plug the concave part of the battle line! …… Shut the door, beat the dog!”
A commander loves soldiers like children but uses troops like mud.
However, the outpost soldiers couldn’t keep up with Seraphina’s command immediately, causing several soldiers to lose their lives in an instant.
This scene was also seen by Seraphina. She needed a channel to directly reach the outpost soldiers.
“Bask! Ignore that idiot in front of you. I now order you to return!”
Even unclear what Seraphina wanted, he had to obey this order.
After handing the giant lesser demon to two elite knights, his figure rapidly withdrew.
“Your Highness!” Bask arrived by Seraphina’s side in an extremely short time, his armor still stained with blood.
“I need you, by any means, to let my voice spread to every corner of the battlefield!”
Seraphina’s voice, through the magic Bask urgently released, instantly swept the entire noisy battlefield like cold tide water.
This magic wasn’t transmitted like a megaphone but more like the channel ability released by knights.
Her voice lost its usual hoarseness, becoming another clearer, calmer tone with supreme authority.
At the same time, in the north wing where she had just issued orders, the penetrating knights completed the encirclement of three giant lesser demons! Along with countless ordinary lesser demons.
“All trolls listen! You are responsible for frontally resisting the giant lesser demons’ assaults. I still don’t want to hear casualty reports; I just want to see you nail those damned trash in place, not letting them advance half a step!”
On the battlefield, only these thick-skinned trolls could face these powerful giant lesser demons head-on.
“Now, all combatants execute Her Highness’s orders!”
Bask’s thunderous roar followed, completely shattering the last hesitation in the outpost soldiers’ hearts.
Almost in an instant, trolls paired up. Their already near-three-meter bodies rapidly swelled under potential activation. The strongest trolls’ bodies approached five meters without limit!
