Zhang Tie and the other two Knights from the Jin-Yun Kingdom had been stationed in the southern Kare Mountains for over a month.
At a time like this, as Knights of the Weiyi Subcontinent, even if they could not take the field directly, drive straight for the Yellow Dragon, and fight the Devil Race legions and Devil Commander to the death, there were still many things they could do. For a time, they could at least prevent some of the Devil Race and Three-Eyed Society's Knights from crossing the Kare Mountains and directly threatening the nations south of the range.
Having suffered two major losses at the hands of humans beneath Nien City and outside Ampton City, the Devil Commander adopted a cautious, steady advance this time, using demonized puppets as the vanguard. Under this strategy, the Devil Race and Three-Eyed Society Knights became relatively more restrained, with few daring to advance rashly. Thus, over the past month or so, the Knights on both sides had maintained a stalemate of evenly matched strength.
The Devil Commander believed victory was already in his grasp. At this point, he was unwilling to risk his precious Knight resources and Devil Race Warriors, lest he once again fall into traps and encirclements laid by the humans.
To the Devil Commander, the army of two hundred million demonized puppets was already enough to flatten everything. Therefore, having his elite forces steadily advance behind the demonized puppet army was the least costly way to seize the Blakerson Human Corridor.
As for the Knights of the southern nations, even fewer of them wished to risk their lives fighting the Devil Race Knights here at such a time.
If not for the honor and duty of Knights, perhaps the vast majority would have already left this subcontinent by
