Chapter 218: Tactical Coordination

In front of the cave in Guiyi Shangu.

The words of the white-haired female Knight sounded somewhat unbelievable.

Luoning had not yet induced the other party to surrender; instead, he was the one being induced to surrender by her.

More crucially, the way she licked her red lips with a bewitching look on her face—this was clearly not because she had taken a liking to Luoning's strength, but rather that she had taken a liking to his body.

It would have been one thing if she only had her eyes on him, but he hadn't expected that she had her eyes on the whole group.

Is she a psychopath?

Aierlong spoke up to warn her, "Standing before you is the lord of Wubei Territory, Viscount Luoning! Since you live on his territory, you are a subject of the Viscount. Please mind your attitude!"

"Hehe~"

The white-haired woman laughed in a seductive, charming way, "Sorry, my master is Lord Ailioute. You are not qualified to make me, Natalia, submit to you!"

Ailioute?

Luoning hurriedly searched his mind for this name, but unfortunately, he found no relevant information.

He looked at the others; this group was either of savage origin or were low-level Guards and summoned characters, so they likely wouldn't have come into contact with such information either.

"Who is Ailioute?" Luoning asked.

Clearly, the white-haired female Knight's gaze was gradually turning cold; he put away his playful thoughts, not wanting to waste any more breath on Luoning and the others.

"Daring to step into my master's forbidden area, you all deserve to die!"

"Naibulier, the red-haired Knight who wasn't killed that day is yours. Everyone else, follow me and slaughter all the intruders!"

"Gladly at your service, my most beloved lady!" The tall Knight took the lead and charged straight at Ruidar.

But it was not Ruidar who met him, but Maiken.

"Your opponent is me!"

According to the plan, once there was a Golden Grade among the opponents, Ruidar and Aierlong would handle them together; the former would fight head-on, while the latter would use Magic like Light Binding Technique to assist, not seeking to defeat the opponent, but only to hold them off.

Ruidar moved with swiftness, pouncing straight at the white-haired woman.

"Kill!"

Luoning held the Liuyan Sword high, coordinating with Ruidar to launch an all-out attack.

His target was the Bronze Knight who hadn't been killed despite being stabbed several times by Ruidar that night.

In the flat valley, the chaotic battle quietly began.

Soldier against soldier, general against general.

The strength of this group was about what Luoning had assessed; Qiaofuli's opponent was an Advanced Knight, and another Advanced Knight was being held down by Kelami and Babulin fighting together.

The remaining few patrol soldiers were all left to Huoen and Jennie to handle.

Tangmu and the other three would assess the situation; if the opponent was only a Primary Knight, they could strike; if there was an Intermediate Knight on the other side, they would attack in pairs or even all four together, striving to distract the enemy.

To be safe, Aierlong would assist everyone during the battle with Exhilaration Technique and Aurora Shadow, while simultaneously applying Fatigue Aura to the opponent's strong fighters.

This battle plan had been formulated and disseminated two days ago, and at this moment, everyone was performing well, basically executing according to the plan.

With a loud boom, Luoning suppressed his opponent with one sword strike, simultaneously lifting his right foot to kick the opponent in the chest, sending them flying.

Setting aside the opponent's bizarre constitution, Luoning, with his Silver Grade 200/1500 progress, completely crushed the opponent in strength, speed, and combat power; this Bronze Knight was simply no match for him.

If it hadn't been for Ruidar's carelessness that night, it would have been impossible for the opponent to scratch his abdomen.

"Earth Stone Stab!"

The opponent quickly climbed up, knelt on one knee, and slapped the ground with his palm. Immediately, the ground began to tremble, and Earth Spears resembling long spears began to drill out from the ground in front of his palm, lunging straight at Luoning!

If he hadn't dodged in time, he definitely would have been poked with several holes.

Yet Luoning did not dodge or evade; he tapped his long sword against the ground and then swung it violently, a crescent-shaped flame lashing out from the tip of the sword.

"Instant Burn!"

The Silver Grade Battle Technique was unleashed by him, its immense power directly tearing open the ground in front, and those sharp Earth Spears with a diameter of ten centimeters were crushed by the surging power before they could even spread to him!

Although the power of this move could not compare to Ruidar's Explosive Flame Slash, it was much stronger than Earth Stone Stab.

"Maiken is also Earth Attribute; I cannot defeat him, but this is enough to deal with you!"

Luoning charged forward, riding the remaining momentum of Instant Burn, and as the opponent blocked the crescent-shaped flame, the Liuyan Sword pierced through the opponent's body.

This sensation of piercing was different from usual; it didn't feel like passing through human flesh, but rather more like stabbing into the body of a scarecrow.

"Your sword cannot kill me!"

The man laughed wildly, ignoring the long sword stabbed into his body, and directly raised his hand, wanting to strangle Luoning's throat.

"Is that so?"

Luoning gripped the opponent's wrist, rendering it unable to move, while simultaneously injecting surging Battle Qi into the Liuyan Sword.

"Hum~"

The Battle Qi, transformed by the Liuyan Sword, directly turned into raging flames.

"Ah!"

The man let out a painful wail, and immediately following, cracks began to appear from the spot where the Liuyan Sword had pierced through his body; in less than two breaths, cracks covered his entire body.

Luoning looked at the opponent's face at close range, as if he were looking at parched, cracked earth.

With a bang, this person simply shattered into powder right in front of Luoning, just like how Ruidar's Explosive Flame Slash had directly turned his opponent into dust that night.

"It seems my guess was correct; your bodies do not fear ordinary piercing wounds, but if extraordinary power is injected into your bodies, you will suffer immense damage from the inside out!"

It is like two forces that cannot be compatible with each other; if they meet, a violent reaction will occur.

As long as enough energy is injected, they will turn into fly ash.

Luoning looked at the gray-white powder all over the ground; there wasn't a single drop of blood, which was also a very strange phenomenon. Could it be that they only possessed human forms but no longer belonged to humanity?

"Wutan!"

The tall Knight Naibulier shouted anxiously; he hadn't expected that his side would be the first to lose personnel, and it was his third-strongest fighter at that.

He had intended to quickly deal a heavy blow to his opponent and end the battle, but he had not expected Maiken's defensive ability to be so strong; his sword could not wound the opponent in a short time.

That night, if Ruidar had not been scratched on the chest while unaware and then besieged, it would have been impossible for Naibulier to pierce Ruidar's arm.

At this moment, in a one-on-one situation, although Maiken could not gain the upper hand, he defended very tightly and would not be defeated in a short time.

On the other hand, the white-haired Golden Knight Natalia attacked swiftly and like a ghost, each strike carrying immense power, actually suppressing Ruidar.

The collision of high-level Battle Techniques of wind and fire turned the combat area where they were into a scorched battlefield.

Natalia flashed in front of Ruidar, "Go to hell!"

But just at this moment, four tentacles extended from the void, binding her like long snakes.

This was precisely Aierlong's Light Binding Technique magic.

"You are the one who will die!"

Ruidar launched his move coldly, the Instant Combustion Fighting Technique rushing toward the opponent with scorching flames; even with Battle Qi Armor for protection, bearing this strike without any other defense would certainly cause heavy injury.

This move was unavoidable, yet Natalia prayed aloud: "Master, your loyal servant begs for your power!"

Following her sincere plea, complex dark patterns appeared on her skin, and endless black energy descended from the void to envelop her entire body.

In an instant, she seemed to possess energy capable of destroying the world, breaking free from the Light Binding Technique in a flash.

"Disgusting Light Attribute Magician, I will kill you first!"

Natalia changed her target and killed toward Aierlong.

Whether it was Purification or Light Binding Technique, although neither could cause her harm, they made her feel uncomfortable and disgusted from the heart.

"Ruidar, protect me!"

Aierlong shouted; as a Light Attribute Magician, his support was greater than his attack, so how could he have the ability to resist a Golden Knight's attack head-on?

"Rest assured, with me here, I won't let her get near you!"

Ruidar was already at Aierlong's side; even if Natalia's speed was fast, she could not cross his defensive line.

Seeing that they could hold her off, Luoning turned his gaze toward Maiken's opponent, the Silver Knight Naibulier.

"If I kill you, I will be able to complete the 【King of Slaughter】 achievement."

His Mental Power stirred his Magic Power, and he used the Level 4 Magic "Wind Tentacle".

This spell, which was somewhat similar to Light Binding Technique, possessed significant control power; even if the opponent was a Silver Knight, he could still be briefly trapped.

In a battle between experts, victory or defeat is decided in an instant.

"Opportunity!"

Maiken thrust his sword into the ground, and the ground seemed to come alive; the earth beneath his feet transformed into a giant python that burst out of the soil, opening its bloody maw to bite at Naibulier, intending to swallow the opponent in one gulp.

"Master, your servant needs to borrow your power to slay the invading enemy!"

Just like Natalia, when the dark energy enveloped Naibulier, he was able to break free from the Wind Tentacle and leap away.

It was a pity he was still one step too slow; the Rock Snake bit one of his legs and shook its head frantically, directly tearing off the opponent's right leg.

With a bang, Naibulier was smashed heavily a hundred meters away by the immense force!

"Maiken, go help the others; leave this person to me!"

Leaving the Silver Grade and Golden Grade for Luoning to finish off was already part of the plan.

"Very well, my lord!"

Maiken scanned the battlefield.

Qiaofuli was firmly occupying the upper hand over there;

Huoen and Jennie, along with Tangmu and the others, were not only suppressing those patrol soldiers but had even killed three of them;

The only disadvantage was with Kelami and Babulin.

Their opponent was an Advanced Knight; even though Kelami was at the peak of Intermediate, coupled with Babulin's coordination, it was still somewhat difficult to deal with.

Kelami had already been blasted away several times, and Babulin's waist had even been pierced by a sword, blood flowing freely and staining his armor red.

"Then let's finish you off first!"

Maiken pushed off the ground with both legs, his entire body rushing out like a cannonball to kill the Advanced Knight. (End of this chapter)
