Chapter 016: Continuous Ambushes

Hearing Moses’s words, Du Fan laughed heartily. Suddenly, the sword given to him by the Flame Demon in the abyss appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, a blue lightning bolt shot swiftly toward Komron.
Seeing the lightning, Komron was stunned and quickly dodged to the side. As he did, Basha moved, swinging his axe at Komron with force. Immediately after, Du Fan also swung his sword horizontally!
After clashing with Basha’s axe, Komron couldn’t repel Basha with a single blow like before. Just as he had fought off Basha, Du Fan’s long sword swung again. Komron quickly dodged backward, only to feel a fierce killing aura approaching from behind!
That terrifying killing aura was Moses’s War Sword piercing through the air!
It gave Komron an overwhelming sense of helplessness. Moreover, both Du Fan and Moses attacked right after Basha did!
In panic, Komron had no choice but to take to the air!
The sky was the only place where he could escape.
As Komron soared into the air, suddenly feeling a strong wind above, he quickly looked up.
In the sky, six wings covered his vision completely! The six wings’ white, sharp teeth suddenly snapped open.
A white spear, carrying immense force, was aimed straight at Komron’s forehead!
It was already too late to lift his war hammer. Komron roared, sending his combat energy soaring upward. Iron-black combat energy formed a cloud-like shield above his head.
The six-winged spear pierced through the cloud-like shield of combat energy. With one strike, that cloud of energy scattered everywhere.
The spear in the six-winged hand emitted a dazzling milky light, dispersing the cloud. Then, the spear flashed and plunged into Komron’s forehead!
“Arong!” Komhan on the peak shouted loudly, spitting out more blood!
Komhan and Komron had been brothers for thousands of years. This time, seeing Komron pierced in the head right before his eyes, Komhan’s heart felt as if it were being torn apart!
Crying out “Arong,” Komhan spat out more blood, but this time he did not faint.

Under the siege of two supreme saints and two experts in their respective fields, Komron, this supreme saint, perished in the Kama Valley as soon as he appeared!
With eyes wide in disbelief, Komron could not believe that Six Wings’ spear had so easily broken through his protective shield!
Indeed, Six Wings’ spear had effortlessly shattered Komron’s shield.
His eyes, now colorless, opened as his body fell from the sky. This top expert of the Bilu tribe never believed until his death that it was a skeleton that had killed him!
“Komhan, your brother is already dead! Komron, known as the greatest expert among your Bilu tribe, is dead—do you still want to keep killing?” Bashah shouted loudly after killing Komron with a single sword strike, without even needing Du Fan’s guidance.
“Go and kill them all!” Komhan roared. Soon, the six dwarf warriors standing behind him leaped off the mountain peak, soaring like six giant birds toward Bashah, Du Fan, and the others.
These six were clearly flying!
Warriors who could fly must surely be at or above the supreme saint level!
All six dwarf warriors were at the supreme saint level! But considering the lifespan of dwarves, it made sense—thousands of years was enough time for those passionate about martial arts and with natural talent to reach the supreme saint level!
Moreover, only large tribes among dwarves could produce supreme saints, because only large tribes were willing to support those who devoted themselves solely to martial arts training. A small tribe of a few thousand or tens of thousands had leaders who didn’t have enough resources to support someone who did nothing but train. It wasn’t that they lacked the means; rather, other tribe members would react strongly to such things, and only leaders of large tribes could suppress such dissatisfaction.
With a population of 350,000, the Bilu tribe’s leader could easily support six or seven supreme saint experts.
Seeing the six supreme saint experts descend from the mountain, Moses smiled coldly. With a gesture of his war sword, he unleashed his war domain.
As the red-and-black war domain appeared, Komhan’s expression changed instantly!

When a domain expert faced a Saint-level warrior, especially one who had activated their domain, even a Saint-level expert would be completely helpless inside that domain, just like a beginner martial artist, and could be at the mercy of the domain expert!
“Retreat! Retreat!” Komhan suddenly shouted.
At this point, Komhan realized he had no chance of winning!
If that was the case, it was better to retreat immediately! Hold onto the tribal territory and wait for Karu’s reinforcements to arrive.
With Komhan’s shout, the troops of the Bilu tribe began a large-scale retreat.
The dwarven troops were like this—once retreat was ordered, these warriors of the Bilu tribe would run frantically as if fleeing for their lives.
Behind the two battlefields were two small mountains. Once they crossed those mountains, they could escape at full speed. So, as soon as the warriors of the Bilu tribe heard their leader order a retreat, they rushed wildly toward the mountains.
With their lives on the line, their potential was fully unleashed. With such strength, these warriors of the Bilu tribe reached speeds that ordinary people could hardly match!
Even the Black Panther Knights found it difficult to catch up. They would kill one dwarf warrior, but the others would take advantage of the chaos to escape at a distance.
The six Saint-level experts protected Komhan, huddling together as they fled swiftly toward the territory of the Bilu tribe.
Just then, from the direction of the Bilu tribe, there came the sound of countless troops trampling forward in unison.
“Reinforcements are here! Reinforcements are here!” Hearing the sound coming from their own tribe, the warriors of the Bilu tribe cheered excitedly.
Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Komhan’s face as well.
If the sound of troops approaching came from their own tribe, who else could it be but their own reinforcements?
Deep down, Komhan still had a question: Why weren’t these reinforcements approaching from behind Basha as planned?
Of course, this question was understandable—perhaps Karu’s troops saw that fighting had already begun ahead and didn’t have time to encircle Basha from behind, so they came straight to support them.
In any case, the sound of troops approaching from their own tribe must be from their side. If not, the scouts scattered far and wide would have reported it to them immediately!

But an important issue that Komhan overlooked was the presence of 1,500 elf archers led by Naixiu, as well as scouts who could survive upon encountering General Leibao’s troops and report back to Komhan. These master archers were not only exceptional in their shooting skills, capable of striking enemies from great distances, but even more remarkable was the fact that the elves practiced eagle-eye vision before mastering archery! Eagle-eye vision allowed them to observe enemy movements from afar. Especially archers like Naixiu had reached a level of skill in eagle-eye vision beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Those dwarf scouts were completely seen through by the elves’ eagle-eye vision before they even noticed the Black Panther Knights. All the scouts were killed by the elf archers before they could even come into contact with them, let alone see the Black Panther Knights. Another crucial point was that Komhan never imagined that Basha’s Black Panther Knights would go to such lengths as to march 500 miles overnight just to encircle him. The soldiers of the Bilu tribe, once filled with surprise, quickly turned to despair. The source of this despair was the Black Panther Knights rushing toward them from afar. Those fierce Black Panthers made it clear at a glance that this force was there to support their own troops—and it was undoubtedly a symbol of Basha’s greatest military strength: the Black Panther Knights! The sight of these knights gathering together to charge was incredibly intimidating. An army of 8,000 men gave the impression of facing a million-strong army—one that could trample everything in its path under its iron hooves and crush all opposition with its power. Seeing the sea of Black Panther Knights approaching, the warriors of the Bilu tribe were already consumed by despair. If faced with choosing between these 8,000 Black Panther knights and Basha’s army, these warriors would surely prefer to fight to the death alongside Basha and his men. Among the dwarves, the regular forces of the Black Panther Knights were regarded as an invincible symbol. Although the Bilu tribe rarely rebelled, these warriors never imagined they would have to confront the regular Black Panther Knights. Even if a battle were to take place, it should have been the Dog Tribe’s army first!

It’s a mindset where, even when the sky seems to be falling, there are always those taller ones to bear the weight first. But when the day came when the warriors of the Bilu tribe had to face the knights of the Regular Black Panther Knights directly, they realized the immense strength of those knights! It was truly an invincible army—a force with a reputation of being undefeated for centuries, an army bathed in the glory of the Dwarf King! “Second brother, run that way; third brother, run that way; fourth brother, run that way,” ordered the eldest of the four brothers among the Bilu tribe warriors. “Follow our eldest brother’s orders—scatter and flee! As long as one of us survives, the task of taking care of our parents falls on that person!” the eldest brother said firmly.
