Lord Wizard

Chapter 53 Clearing

"what!"

Jason let out a mournful roar, his eyes bloodshot, and unleashed the full speed of the Great Knight, launching a desperate charge towards Lin Meng's army formation.

"Paul..."

Lin Meng glanced at Paul, who was using himself as a shield to protect Jason, and was somewhat surprised.

He never imagined that the other party would let Jason live in this way.

Seeing Jason, heavily wounded, charging towards his own army, Lin Meng had to admit the other's tenacious will.

"As expected of a great knight with a life force field."

The great knight was incredibly fast; the crossbow didn't have time to reload and fire a second volley of arrows. If Jason hadn't been there, he might have truly escaped with his life, but...

Lin Meng drew his sword and went to meet Jason.

Seeing this, Jason, whose body was half-stained with blood, moved even faster.

No matter how strong a great knight is, he cannot withstand an army of several thousand men, let alone an army with a large number of knights in it.

All he could do was try his best to drag Lin Meng down with him before he died.

"Lin Meng, you've been targeting us in every way, and the forces behind us won't let you get away with this."

"Let me go?"

Lin Meng looked at Jason, who was lunging at him, and said, word by word, "Remember your words, don't let me go."

The next moment, he charged forward fiercely, sword in hand, the long sword slicing through the air like lightning, accurately and swiftly striking his body.

"Bang!"

Flames burst forth.

Jason's counterattack was deflected by Lin Meng's sword, the sharp edge of which still grazed Jason's body.

"puff!"

Jason suffered another wound.

With a single strike, Lin Meng quickly retreated.

He didn't use his full strength in that sword strike; in a desperate struggle, one must be extremely cautious.

In fact, Jason did intentionally feign weakness to lure Lin Meng into a trap; otherwise, as fellow knights, he could not have been injured with a single sword strike.

Thinking of Paul who had shielded him from the crossbow bolt, and feeling his own growing weakness, Jason roared in frustration, "Lin Meng, even now you don't dare to confront me head-on? If you don't even have that kind of courage, what makes you think you can stand against the forces behind me?!"

Lin Meng ignored his provocations, constantly dodging his attacks and occasionally exchanging a sword strike with him, deliberately trying to wear down his fighting spirit.

After a moment, sensing Jason's extreme weakness, Lin Meng took a step forward.

"it's over."

He charged forward fiercely, his sword flashing like a streak of light, instantly piercing Jason's chest, the tip emerging from his back.

"what!"

Just then, Jason, who seemed to be on the verge of death, suddenly contracted his body, clamping the long sword that had pierced his body, while his right hand slashed horizontally at Lin Meng with lightning speed.

"die!"

"Be careful, sir!"

Eileen cried out in a panic.

"I knew you'd have something up your sleeve."

Having experienced countless battles, Lin Meng had long anticipated this.

He had already assessed Jason's strength from the previous battle; he was around the initial level of a Grand Knight, and even if he was slightly stronger than Kidd, the difference was limited.

Facing Jason's sword strike, he formed a palm with his left hand and, taking advantage of the close distance, slashed out with lightning speed, striking Jason's wrist.

"Snap!"

The sound of a bone breaking was heard!

The intense pain caused Jason to lose his grip on the longsword, which then fell from Lin Meng's side due to inertia.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Meng pulled back with his right hand and quickly pulled the sword out of Jason's body, splattering a large amount of blood.

"Well!"

Jason trembled, looking at the wound on his chest, his eyes filled with resentment and despair, before falling backward.

"Bang!"

With a thud as a body crashed onto the grassland, the great battle came to a complete end.

As for the remaining Zach and the few knights, Lin Meng didn't need to lift a finger. Faced with the crossbows, a single volley of arrows was enough to completely engulf them, as they were already choked by the smoke and could barely see.

The screams gradually subsided.

"grown ups."

Goss stood behind Lin Meng with utmost respect: "The enemy has been completely wiped out."

Lin Meng's flawless strategy in this battle on the grasslands, coupled with his formidable strength in fighting the Great Knight, has completely won them over.

Two great knights, three high-ranking knights, a dozen knights, and thousands of soldiers were all wiped out in one battle, and in the process, their own traitor was also exposed.

This method amazed their subordinates.

"Clean up the battlefield and stop the fire from spreading."

Lin Meng gave the order.

Although Aden and Frostbite are both sparsely populated, it's hard to say how much damage such a natural disaster could cause. Now that the battle is over, the fire naturally needs to be extinguished as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Eileen and the others did not use much oil. Without oil to fuel the fire, the fire in the grass was limited. With thousands of soldiers rushing in, the fire gradually subsided.

However, they shouldn't be marching today. Not to mention the difficulty of cleaning up the battlefield, the smoldering fires on the ground could burn for who knows how long. He didn't want the fires to reignite after he entered the Bass Mountains, cutting off his retreat.

"My lord, we have now achieved a great victory. Should we take advantage of their inability to react, concentrate our elite forces, and launch a surprise attack on Solent City, marching day and night? If all goes well, we might be able to capture it in one battle..."

Goss suggested.

"No need. We have already established an absolute advantage. There is no need to risk a surprise attack. We should proceed steadily and forcefully to advance."

Lin Mengdao.

With Paul and Jason dead, the Sunrise Group will receive the news. If they launch a surprise attack and the other side is prepared and sets a trap, the situation may be completely reversed.

In a war between two armies, the advantage of one's own hard power will always outweigh any schemes or calculations!

"Sir, we have the battle casualty statistics."

At this moment, Harvey walked over from the side; "Aside from the twenty-three scouts who were responsible for entering Mount Bis, only a few unlucky ones tripped and fell while fleeing and were caught and killed by the people of Carroll and Solent. There were no other casualties. In addition, the vanguard team reported that they had bypassed the fire and discovered the supply train of the two cities' allied forces. Eileen and Amanda are leading the knights to pursue them."

"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations on your great victory! Such a great victory is rare even in the history of our Frost Kingdom, and it is enough to make your name known throughout the world."

Quesra congratulated Linmon from behind.

He was incredibly glad he had made the right bet. After this battle, no one could shake Lin Meng's position in Winter City, not even Farrell's resurrection.

And those families who were the first to serve Lin Meng will rise to prominence as Lin Meng rises to power.

"Congratulations on your great success, sir."

Other generals also offered their congratulations.

"It's just a minor victory; it's not a true victory without taking Solent City."

After finishing his speech, Lin Meng gave another order: "Pass down the order that after the fire is extinguished, the entire army should rest and recuperate, and strive to reach the walls of Solent tomorrow."

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

The generals acknowledged and withdrew.

Lin Meng turned around and looked at the bodies of Jason and Paul.

"The loss of two Grand Knights is a devastating blow to the Sunrise Group's power on the Constantine continent. However... this is just the beginning. Soon it will be Heris's turn. He is the person in charge of the Kingdom of Aden. Once he dies, all the Sunrise experts in the Kingdom of Aden will be wiped out, and the Sunrise Group's plans in the Kingdom of Aden will collapse."
