The soldiers of the kingdom had not yet realized what had happened when a startled roar erupted from the circle of demons across from them:
"Kill them! Our leader killed two formidable enemies!"
Upon hearing these words, the expressions displayed by the soldiers of the kingdom turned exceptionally fearful, as if they had seen a ghost.
The simple act of killing contained the weight of a heavy blow to the morale of the allied forces.
Those were two "renowned" super strong individuals!
In battles against small countries, commanders of this level often single-handedly conquer cities and even force enemy nations to surrender.
Yet, such formidable individuals died without any suspense within seconds, and not just one, but two.
The soldiers looked at the youth who had killed the two individuals and wondered why he appeared much younger than themselves.
Why was a young teenager able to take away the lives of others at such lightning speed?
The soldiers felt a chilling fear in their hearts!
This was not an exaggeration, but rather a genuine sense of coldness rising from within them, freezing their bodies in an instant.
If it weren't for the military commander's strict order that any soldier who retreated would face disciplinary action, half of the remaining hundred thousand soldiers would have fled on the spot.
When the military commander used aggressive methods to boost the morale of his subordinates, the king's advance suddenly halted.
Facing away from the demonic horde, the king sternly reminded them:
"If they don't harm me, I won't harm them; but if someone wants me dead, I'll make sure they die first!"
With just a few words, the demonic horde was completely relieved.
After receiving implicit permission from their leader, they no longer had to worry about the rule prohibiting them from harming others and decisively went all out.
"No one should underestimate us!"
"Let the enemy know how powerful we are!"
"Everyone, follow the leader!"
The momentum of the thousands of demons was fully mobilized.
As the core leader of these subordinates, the king stood firmly at the forefront of the formation, using his actions to lead the charge into the seemingly endless enemy formation.
And at the back of the demonic formation, a girl who had never experienced battle before prepared herself for combat.
This girl was Cai.
Due to the distance, Yu couldn't see her sister.
This less than admirable brother only thought about how to make the detested people die.
As for Cai, there was no need to say more.
She had no idea her brother was still alive and her mind was filled with only one thing - how to assist the king.
Now, with different emotions, the siblings began to play their respective roles on the battlefield.
"You stay right here and don't move!"
Before Cai could make her way to the center of the battlefield, Hawky stepped in to stop her, with a simple reason:
"You lack combat experience and aren't suitable for the fierce frontline. Stay obediently with me here to ensure that no enemies flank our rear."
Hawky calmed down the slightly excited Cai and stayed by her side in the rear.
This configuration was the most reassuring for the king.
After all, one of the girls lacked battlefield experience, and the other needed to recover from her injuries.
Having them stay in the less intense part of the conflict was undeniably the safest arrangement.
As for the missing combat strength, the king would personally make up for it as the leader.
Grasping the hilt of his sword, he drew and swung it, the only way he could fight in the present situation.
The soldiers at the forefront, serving as the vanguard of the coalition forces, held long spears lined up in a row, stepping with precise square-shaped strides as they advanced.
Wang Gang's raised his right hand, holding the sword, and aimed the row of spear tips in front of him at his vital points.
Wang quickly turned his hand, causing the sword to slightly block the attack that just emerged from its sheath. The enemy's attack was so intense that Wang couldn't simply block it with a single horizontal strike.
He skillfully deflected the long sword after blocking a spear, immediately changing his defensive move from a point defense to a surface defense.
This move was effortless for Wang, but the elite soldiers in front of him couldn't respond as swiftly.
Before the opponents could launch a second attack, Wang flicked the sword handle, lifting the unsheathed sword blade upward, cutting through the entire row of obstacles in front of him.
Even with long spears made of metal with a wooden handle, it was not difficult to cut through the wooden part with the sharpness of this sword.
The soldiers, who lost their only weapons, looked terrified.
In an instant, the sword blade turned in a horizontal arc.
In the next moment, Wang appeared behind these people.
With a quick lift of his foot, several people behind him fell down.
But the obstacles in the front line were not limited to this level!
As Wang landed on one foot, his ears picked up on an abnormal sound.
Subconsciously, he jumped into the air; his legs left the ground.
Immediately, the spot where he was standing was covered by a dozen throwing axes.
While in mid-air, Wang noticed the enemy soldiers who followed closely after. It was they who threw all those axes!
Seeing that the first wave of attack was unsuccessful, the throwing ax soldiers immediately launched a second fierce attack, throwing their backup weapons.
More axes fell from the sky, as if they were free, while Wang's forward movement remained steady.
These weapons that landed on the ground served as steps;
He stepped on the uninterrupted "axe road," his body leaping up and down several times, and then appeared in front of those soldiers.
In a brief pause, Wang held the long sword in his hand, circling it once before letting it go.
The sword's blade struck the infantry formation with the force of a giant stone, creating a resounding crash!
The neatly arranged army formation instantly broke apart; the densely packed soldiers who were affected flew symmetrically in both directions.
The injured soldiers twitched a few times after landing, then remained motionless.
But it wasn't over yet; the vanguard still had some aces up their sleeves.
Amidst the continuous sound of horse neighing, the cavalry troops, shrouded in smoke, charged forward, seeming as if they could grind their targets into minced meat with the power of their horses.
Just as Wang was about to touch the ground, he lifted one leg and kicked forcefully.
Accompanied by a piercing scream, the front of a warhorse was struck by the sole of Wang's shoe, stopping its charge, and rendering it unable to move forward even an inch.
That's how it usually goes for cavalry troops; when one person is hindered, the entire army is affected.
The density of soldiers on the battlefield also determines the limited mobility of the cavalry troops.
Under these two factors, the cavalry that had been imposing just moments ago became like dehydrated eels, struggling in their hopeless reaction.
With a swing of his right hand, Wang made the long sword rotate in mid-air, creating a beautiful sword flower shape, followed by a flash of sword light!
Wang put down his leg and swapped the job of holding the long sword between his left and right hands.
At the same time, the ground was cut into countless small stones, separated from each other, and a large amount of dust was thrown up, accompanied by a thick rain of blood falling.
Looking at the area where the cavalry corps had previously galloped, there was not a single figure standing there anymore.
Both hands grasping the sword in succession, the hilt of the sword constantly moving in the two wrists, changing and slashing in turn;
No need for complicated tactics, the vanguard of the over 130,000-strong joint army was defeated;
Soldiers who broke away from the formation wandered around, and before long, they were individually eliminated and wiped out by thousands of demon clan members who followed from behind.
Half an hour had just passed since the start of the battle, and the losses in manpower were clearly visible to the four corps commanders observing from the rear.
"When should we go deal with that monster?"
"If we don't restrain that guy soon, the losses of the army will further escalate!"
The four corps commanders reacted unanimously, all locking their gazes onto Yu.
In contrast, Yu's attitude was calm and composed, calmly exhaling a breath:
"Don't you want to follow in the footsteps of those two idiots and die a miserable death like them? If you don't want that, then listen to me and patiently wait for the right opportunity."
"When will that opportunity come?"
"It won't be waiting until the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties for you to tell us the timing is right, will it?"
"Of course not, I have already discovered two weaknesses of the demon clan leader. Do you four want to hear?"
This sentence couldn't be ignored.
The interest of the corps commanders was aroused, and they all gathered around Yu, listening attentively to his detailed analysis.
First is the first weakness, and the four people only heard Yu reply mysteriously:
"The first: that demon clan leader...is a human."
After waiting for half a minute, they got such a response. The four corps commanders were so angry that they roared in unison for the first time.
"Nonsense! If he's not human, then is he a ghost?"
"No, you don't understand! Take a closer look at the battlefield over there. Compared to the initial time, how is the current performance of the demon clan leader?"
The corps commanders looked closely, observed for a long time, and only hesitantly replied:
"It seems...that guy's forward speed has slowed down."
"That's right, that's the enormous weakness of the demon clan leader!"
Yu understood it better than anyone else:
No matter who it is, their state cannot be maintained at its peak indefinitely.
Because of continuous consumption of power, extended combat time, and gradual decline in the originally abundant physical strength;
As long as the body can't keep up with the needs of the will, a person's strength, speed, and reaction will gradually decline in the later stages of a prolonged battle.
Which means weakening a formidable enemy by making them exhausted;
With the heroic sacrifice of those cannon fodder soldiers, the terrifying enemy known as the King, who could single-handedly kill the seven corps commanders at the peak of their strength, was no longer as terrifying to Yu!
Naturally, it was not yet time to confront each other.
Even if the five surviving corps commanders engage in a melee afterwards, they still have no certainty of defeating the King, not even the slightest bit.
Therefore, Yu had to let more soldiers act as sacrifices and continue to consume the King's stamina!
After all, two corps commanders had already died.
The soldiers left behind by these two people might as well not return alive to their home country, and become brave martyrs here.
The sacrifice of soldiers from both nations was valuable, and the entire Western Continent would remember their dedication...
