Tang Shaoyang left the building and flew toward Wen's direction. He flew higher than usual. Wen told him that the knight had a sharp sense as they managed to detect him in the sky.
Around two thousand meters away from Ningbo City, he spotted the group. Their red armor was quite eye-catching, 'Are they coming to scout or what?' Tang Shaoyang could not help but question these people's decision who came to confront him.
"My Lord." Wen bowed toward him and pointed at another group behind the fifty knights. From their armor, it was quite clear that they were from the same group.
"This is truly weird…" Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice, "But it will not change my plan. We will wipe them out, and let the Commander come by herself."
Tang Shaoyang had asked for more detailed information about the Lionax Kingdom's military power. However, the young Prince was ignorant of his kingdom's power.
Commander Ashley was his only choice to know more about the Lionax Kingdom. Of course, he kept the Prince and the two Captain Knights alive. They could be a good pawn for him to dig more information from the Commander.
"Are you ready for another battle, Bronson, Zaneos, and Yowe?" The three spirits had undergone enlightenment. The battle against Prince Kaiden's group did not satisfy them.
"Yes, Master!" The three simultaneously answered. He could even detect the excitement from the usually calm and collected Zaneos. The Demon Swordmaster seemed to be thrilled with his newly found strength.
Tang Shaoyang summoned them in the air, but it did not falter them. The three figures landed perfectly right in front of the group of fifty knights, "Spare one knight in the group of five behind and don't kill the knights. Just crippled them for Wen to kill," He instructed the three spirits.
"Demon! Undead!" Screams from the knights were heard when the three Spirits landed. What happened next was a scream of terror and fear filled the forest area.
From the air, he could see the three spirits wreaking havoc. The three easily destroyed the knight formation. The five knights behind the group tried to help when they heard the scream. But five knights' reinforcement could not change the inevitable.
Bronson destroyed the knights' limbs. The reaver easily tore apart the knight's plate armor. The knights' thighs were destroyed and their shoulders were gone within one strike.
The same for Yowe, he left a hole on the thigh and shoulder of the knights with his lance. Zaneos was at a different level than Yowe despite being in the same grade. His shadowy movement created chaos in the formation. His sword slash was hardly seen by the knights. Within one slash, he cut the knight's four limbs cleanly.
It was just another one-sided slaughter. The knights were helpless before the three spirits. At this point, a few knights attempted to run from the battle. However, Bronson cruelly destroyed their hope of escaping with his swift movement.
"What are you doing here? Finish them off!" Wen was still standing next to him and he could see the hesitation from the Jade Eagle, "These knights barely helped me to level up. You should take them so you can evolve to the next stage."
Being reminded to evolve, Wen realized that he had been useless when they started to fight against the Lionax Kingdom. He was powerless against the knights.
The helplessness for not being able to help was so frustrating. Wen did not want the same thing repeated even though he knew that his Lord did not need his help.
"This subordinate is grateful for your help, My Lord." Wen bowed his head toward Tang Shaoyang. The latter waved his hand casually, "You, getting stronger means I am also getting stronger. Remember that."
"I will remember your wise word, My Lord. Then I will take action now." After saying that, Wen shot down toward the battlefield. Wen used his blade wind to kill the crippled and helpless knights.
After killing 12 knights, Tang Shaoyang noticed the Jade Eagle stopped moving. Wen's jade feathers were glowing brighter and he immediately realized his subordinate was advancing to stage-8 evolution.
The evolution lasted for a full minute before Wen continued the slaughter. It did not last long as he thought. It took Moon a few hours for the bear to evolve.
The battle, no, the slaughter lasted less than ten minutes. Zaneos, Bronson, and Yowe crippled the knights and Wen finished them off. As he instructed them, they left one knight alive. The lone knight was terrified and immediately ran away.
Swoosh!
Wen swiftly flew next to him, "I have evolved, and I am now level 391. I need 9 more levels for my next evolution." The Jade Eagle reported his progression.
"Kairu will be frustrated if he knows your drastic growth," Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle. Kairu was stronger than Wen. The Jade Eagle admitted it, but it was different now.
"Alright, you can go back to watch over the survivors. I will be summoning a new spirit first with these high-quality sacrifices," He told Wen to go back first as he did not want to waste these sacrifices.
He could not use the corpses for Zowen's advancement as the Magus had not woken up yet. She took longer than Yowe, Zaneos, and Bronson. He tried to call her a few times but received no answer from the Lightning Magus.
"May I ask you something, My Lord?" Wen called out just as Tang Shaoyang was about to descend. He stopped and turned around, "Go ahead. What do you want to know?"
"Why did you let that one knight leave?" The Jade Eagle asked.
Tang Shaoyang immediately realized why Wen asked this. The Jade Eagle wanted to level up to level 400 quickly. He wanted to get the last kill as well.
"Being impatient, huh!?" Tang Shaoyang smiled and looked toward the direction where the last knight ran off to, "We let him escape so he will bring his comrades to us. Don't worry about it, we will fight them again tomorrow."
Wen nodded his head as he realized the scheme. His Lord let that one knight left to report what happened here so they would bring the remaining knight to fight them here.
