Keep Moving Forward

The Dragonhawk Loa priest and Snyder were fighting one-on-one, and the energy generated by their battle withered all the plants around them.

Snyder's Lava Burst and the Dragonhawk Loa Priest's Fire Ray were initially evenly matched.

But after a while, the Dragonhawk Loa Priest began to show signs of strain.

"Damn it, how come this guy doesn't show any sign of weakness?"

"I'm almost at my limit. His strength wasn't this great during the fight just now." At this moment, many questions arose in the mind of the Dragonhawk Loa Priest. He couldn't figure it out, but the most important thing was that he couldn't hold on any longer.

The Dragonhawk Loa Priest mobilized all of his power to further intensify the fire ray.

Snyder also sensed that the force of the fire ray opposite him had increased.

"Not bad, still persisting." Snyder began to appreciate this monster Troll Troll.

But despite his admiration, he didn't hold back against his opponent; instead, he went all out.

Snyder's Lava Burst directly forced the Dragonhawk Loa Priest's Fire Rays to retreat.

Seeing that his own fire ray had been deflected, the Dragonhawk Loa Priest immediately increased his energy, trying to regain balance and even launch a counterattack in one fell swoop.

But the reality is cruel; his efforts were insignificant in the face of absolute power.

Snyder's Lava Burst slammed into the face of the Dragonhawk Loa Priest, the powerful flame energy blasting him away.

His face was also burned by the flame energy, but the power of the dragon eagle Loagayale allowed his injuries to begin to heal.

"That's all the power you have," Snyder said calmly.

The Dragonhawk Loa priest struggled to his feet, restored by the divine power of the Dragonhawk Loa Gayalai.

"My defeat was due to my own lack of skill, but that doesn't mean Lord Jan'alai is weak," the Dragonhawk Loa Priest said defiantly.

"And your end is near, just wait, that moment is almost here." The Dragonhawk Loa priest spat out another mouthful of blood and said, then flapped his wings and flew back.

"Your power may be great, but the power we wield will surely lead us to the end," Snyder said, watching the Dragonhawk Loa fly further and further away.

"Let's go back." Snyder turned around, brushed the dust off his clothes from the impact of the two waves, and said to the Hand of the Bright Moon standing in the distance.

Snyder returned to the Highborne forces with the Hand of the Bright Moon, while the Dragonhawk Loa, staggered back to the Forest Troll forces.

"What's that?" Bandersson was sitting on a rock when he saw a figure swaying and flying over in the sky.

The Dragonhawk Loa priest flew over upon seeing the Forest Troll army. He spotted the rock where Bandersson was and landed nearby.

Upon seeing the Dragonhawk Loa about to land, the Forest Troll there wisely retreated.

The Dragonhawk Loa priest's landing stirred up a cloud of dust, making him look even more disheveled.

The combination of blood, dust, and wounds made him look extremely disheveled.

"You don't look well right now," Bandersson said, jumping down from the rock.

"I lost to the commander of that elven army clad in silver armor," the Dragonhawk Loa priest declared, recounting his defeat.

"Which unit's commander is so strong? Although I hate to admit it, I can't take them down on my own right now," the Dragonhawk Loa Priest sighed.

"Should we let them go now and let them continue their journey?"

"Once they rendezvous with their advance troops, we will follow behind them."

"When the time is right, we'll unite the power of all the Forest Troll and wipe them out in one fell swoop," Bandersson said.

"Hmm." The Dragonhawk Loa priest nodded in agreement, then found a place to sit down and rest to recover from his injuries.

Bandersson smiled as he watched the Dragonhawk Loa priest walk away.

"Although the delay was short, not much of the forces of those three major clans was eliminated."

"But those smaller clans have already sided with the Amani Clan."

"Although the mission wasn't completed perfectly, I've managed to get them to ingest the poison used for control without them knowing."

"That way I can use witchcraft to control them and make them join Shadra's ranks."

"Although it's unknown how many Troll will die in this battle, with the addition of these three major clans and several smaller clans, the Amani Clan will become even stronger."

"Those priests with Loa are just powerful cannon fodder. The glorious death of the valiant Loa priests will surely shut up the tribe."

"That way, Shadra's trusted confidants can take over," Bandersson thought with a smile.

He then sat back down on the rock and closed his eyes to rest.

When Snyder returned to the Highborne forces with the Hand of the Bright Moon.

"Thank you again for your help, Lord Snyder," the army captain said as he approached.

"You're welcome, you all performed very bravely," Snyder said, patting the army commander on the shoulder.

"I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, my brothers and I would have been killed by that monster," the army commander said again.

"Alright, that's enough of that. Go and take your soldiers to rest; we'll be on our way again soon." With that, Snyder led Hand of the Bright Moon onward.

The soldiers who had fought alongside the rear guard commander against the Dragonhawk Loa priest also stood up to express their gratitude to Snyder.

Snyder continued forward with the Hand of the Bright Moon in his hand, and along the way he saw many Highborne soldiers helping Highborne civilians.

"How did it go?" The corrupted Dath'Remar was pondering how to stop his troops and start a major battle with the Forest Troll, but seeing Snyder return, he temporarily abandoned his thoughts.

"Yes, I've already driven that monster away," Snyder said to Dath'Remar.

"You chased him away? You didn't kill him? With your strength, this should have been easy, or was that monster just very powerful?" Dath'Remar asked.

"That monster was somewhat strong, but not strong enough to defeat me. I simply let him go," Snyder said slowly.

"I thought you weren't strong enough to defeat him," Dath'Remar said with a smile, but he was already somewhat angry inside.

"What a great opportunity! If he kills that monster, the Forest Troll will definitely seek revenge."

"If we don't use him, the elves and the Forest Troll will clash." The corrupted Dath'Remar thought to himself.

"Alright, it's time to keep going," Snyder said.

"Yes." Dath'Remar nodded and gave the order to advance.
