Chapter 60

But Prince Bert did not retreat but advanced, leading these eight guards to beat that unit to a pulp!

And now, the number of these Centaurs was only twice as many.

But their state was far from being comparable to that full-strength Tiger-kin unit!

So, these eight guards immediately roared one after another and followed Prince Bert to charge toward that Centaur unit!

They were actually planning to take on one thousand with nine!

And perhaps, they might really succeed.

If... there were no Xiang Sister Sister Mengying.

But there are no "ifs" in all things.

"Oh, there are still a few fish that slipped through the net here."

Prince Bert, who was about to charge into the Centaur unit, heard an extremely pleasant voice.

This was also the last voice he ever heard!

Prince Bert was dead.

His heroic act was ultimately cut short by Xiang Sister Sister Mengying’s magic.

Facing Xiang Sister Sister Mengying, who was a fifth-tier Great Mage, very close to being a sixth-tier Archmage, and also possessed divine arts.

Even though Prince Bert possessed numerous means to resist magic, he had no possibility of blocking Xiang Sister Sister Mengying’s magic at all!

And after Xiang Sister Sister Mengying killed Prince Bert, she had no idea she had killed a prince.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Just a prince who styled himself as "Royal Clan."

To her, it was like doing a trivial little thing.

"Let’s go, we are heading back!"

Xiang Sister Sister Mengying said to the Centaur Chief.

One thousand Centaur warriors began to run toward the west.

It wasn't until they had been gone for a long time that some Lion-kin warriors watching from afar on the grassland cautiously returned.

These Lion-kin warriors looked left and right as they walked; clearly, they were still worried that the Centaur warriors would return!

Scattered Lion-kin warriors gathered together from all directions.

It seemed that only by gathering together could they feel a sense of security!

None of them spoke.

Everyone was also maintaining a combat-ready state.

Clearly, even without seeing the Centaurs, they were maintaining twelve points of vigilance!

They had seen the whole process of the battle just now!

It was precisely because they had seen the whole process that they were behaving like this.

These Lion-kin warriors were all still recalling the scene from just a moment ago.

They had never imagined that those one thousand Centaur warriors, after ambushing Leader Ivan’s unit, would actually dare to come and attack this Royal City unit led by Prince Bert!

And, they had actually won!

Not an ordinary win!

But a crushing victory!

This could no longer be called a battle!

This was a crushing!

A thorough, top-to-bottom crushing!

Before they had even engaged in close-quarters combat, before they had even touched a hair of the Centaur warriors, they had been killed until only a few remained by the flaming spears thrown by the Centaur warriors!

Those Lion-kin warriors died too quickly!

Many Lion-kin warriors, without even understanding the situation, had fallen into the sea of fire.

In the end, the only ones left alive were Prince Bert and his guards!

Prince Bert had guessed correctly.

The reason those Lion-kin warriors watching from the grassland hadn't left was also because they were thinking that once Prince Bert launched a counterattack with his powerful strength, they could take the opportunity to join the battle and launch a counter-offensive.

Unfortunately, Prince Bert disappointed them.

They were also disappointed.

Prince Bert, along with his guards, had all fallen at the hands of the opponent’s mage, leaving no bones behind.

After seeing with their own eyes how powerful the opponent was, even though they were the ever-victorious Lion-kin warriors, they were all shocked in their hearts, and at the same time, they were fortunate.

Fortunate that they had managed to escape a disaster!

Before long, these returning Lion-kin warriors arrived at the place where the battle had taken place.

The grass on the grassland had been burned quite a bit after the fire spread.

In the area burned by the fire, there was a deep black line that was particularly conspicuous.

This black line was over a dozen meters wide and several hundred meters long; inside the black line, it was full of scattered pieces of weapons and items from the Lion-kin warriors.

Unless Lin Yan deliberately controlled it, the temperature of the Bursting Flame was not particularly high, only about a thousand degrees or so, so it was difficult to melt the iron weapons on the Lion-kin warriors.

The Bursting Flame did not rely on temperature as its main lethality.

However, although the temperature was not particularly high, one could still see a large number of charred Lion-kin warrior corpses.

More corpses had already turned to ash and been blown away by the wind.

This battlefield made these Lion-kin warriors feel extremely heavy in their hearts!

They had an even clearer understanding of the formidable nature of that Centaur unit.

Then, they saw the place where Prince Bert had died.

There...

It had already melted!

Even though Xiang Sister Sister Mengying’s magic also did not rely on temperature as its main lethality.

But as Lin Yan’s favorite, the temperature contained in her fire-type magic would be a large chunk higher than other fire-type mages!

As a fifth-tier mage, it was not very difficult for her to kill Prince Bert with fire-type magic and also melt the ground!

"Prince Bert’s ornament!"

A Lion-kin warrior searched there for a long time and finally found a small ornament!

"Let’s go, we will report the situation up..."

Another Lion-kin warrior said in a deep voice!

"What, my son Bert was killed, two thousand Royal City guards were wiped out!!!"

In the Royal City palace, the old Lion King was furious after hearing this news!

"How dare these scoundrels! Someone, bring my weapon, I will go and pursue them myself!"

Don't look at how old the Lion King already was, but this time when he flared up, his eyes shot out sharp light, and the aura on his body was terrifying!

He was, shockingly, a warrior with strength far greater than Prince Bert!

And, he was actually going to personally pursue that Centaur unit!

"Father, you absolutely must not!"

Immediately, in the palace, a large group of princes rushed up to stop him.

"Father, you are the King of our Lion-kin, how can you personally pursue the enemy! What if the opponent has a trap!"

"Yes, Father, our main army will be back soon; once the main army returns, and that one... returns, Father can then send troops; I am willing to be the vanguard to wipe out the Centaur-kin and avenge Brother Bert!"

"I am also willing to be the vanguard; we must wipe out the Centaur-kin and sweep away the Cat-kin, killing every last one of them to avenge the death of our brother!"

In the palace, the dozen or so remaining sons of the Lion King all spoke up to stop the old Lion King.

And they were all scrambling to be the vanguard to sweep away the Centaur-kin!

These guys, upon hearing the news of Prince Bert’s death, were outwardly extremely sorrowful, but inwardly, it would be good if they weren't snickering.

Bert was the eldest prince.

He held the first right of succession.

Now, Bert was dead!
