Pursuit Battle

The cavalry's charging formation easily smashed through the demons' loose defenses.

They carved a carpet of flesh through the demons' scattered ranks. Every demon standing in the path of the cavalry charge was doomed to die.

The Legion Devils from the three outer sides closed in as well. This was the first well-provisioned battle the devils had fought in a long time.

The devil legion outnumbered the demons by more than double. Across a battlefield stretching dozens of kilometers, flames of war burned everywhere.

Before the cavalry could punch through the demons' loose defenses, the devils had already engaged them.

The Pit Fiend devil barons wheeled through the sky, occasionally using spell-like abilities to strike large groups of demons, or diving from above to kill those Sanctuary-rank demons.

This left the resting demons utterly unable to muster the will to resist. The army collapsed at the first touch.

With no resistance left, the devil legions' tailing pursuit and slaughter became all the more satisfying. They met no opposition from the demons at all.

The devils' flying troops were even happier. They swooped down from the sky, tridents or spears in hand.

Even Black Iron-rank Spined Devils dared to dive-bomb Silver-rank demons. Sometimes, they even achieved excellent results, stabbing their enemies to death directly from behind.

As for the cavalry under Huo Ling's command, there was even less need to mention them. Cavalry were the true specialists in pursuit battles.

The knights were divided into more than ten teams. Each team had over two hundred Dread Knights, along with two or three thousand Skeleton Cavalry.

The fleeing demons ahead became increasingly scattered, like a school of sardines.

The knights, meanwhile, were like sharks hunting sardines, charging the demons' rear ranks again and again and cutting off portions of the demon army.
