Chapter 006: Kill That Old Man

Hearing Moses say that, Tek became even angrier!
He roared and, without a word, charged straight at Moses.
The slight step back he took earlier was indeed due to his carelessness—he never expected that the demonized elves’ magic warriors could be so formidable!
Thus, when fighting Moses earlier, Tek had only used 80% of his strength.
This time, as he took the initiative to attack, he unleashed his full power.
It was just another simple punch, but as it came, Moses could see a loud tearing sound accompanying it. Even with the sharp vision unique to the elves, Moses could discern that there was a sense of space being torn apart with each punch from Tek!
Black threads, like hair, kept swirling around Tek’s fist.
Seeing Tek’s punch coming, Moses quickly stored his War Sword in his ring and raised his own fist to confront Tek!
After being demonized, Moses could boost his cultivation level by one tier outright. Coupled with the fact that elf magic warriors are already extremely powerful, they are the strongest among all elf warriors. Moreover, having been baptized by the Spring of Life, Moses’s physical strength was only slightly inferior to Du Fan’s.
With all these advantages combined, Moses was fully capable of fighting Tek head-on with his fists.
In the air, these two top masters of the continent engaged in a fierce fight, their punches creating massive winds that forced the soldiers below to take cover far away.
The balance of war was slowly tilting in Bashar’s favor. On the battlefield, the Black Panther Knight Order had firmly seized the advantage, steadily advancing their lines. Meanwhile, the dwarf warriors of the Karu Alliance couldn’t even get close to their second wall.
Relying solely on mental strength wasn’t sustainable.
Thanks to centuries of accumulated experience, the Black Panther Knight Order, despite being outnumbered, gradually turned the tide of battle in their favor.

Ten mountain giants were either dead or in flight, while the second-in-command of the demons, a figure who could be considered invincible in this war, was tightly trapped by an elf war mage and unable to escape at all.
The 40,000 Armored Tortoise knights suffered heavy casualties, and the 120,000 dwarf warriors suffered even more!
Out of the 40,000 Armored Tortoise knights, over 10,000 were killed or wounded, while among the 120,000 dwarf warriors, more than 50,000 were killed or wounded! Of course, Basha’s side wasn’t faring any better either. The warriors sent from various tribes to defend the Black Panther Knights had lost nearly half of them—out of 60,000, over 20,000 had been killed or wounded. Moreover, of the total of over 20,000 Black Panther Knights, nearly 3,000 had also been killed or wounded!
3,000 Black Panther Knights! That was a huge loss for Basha’s side! It could be said that Basha would rather see all those warriors sent from various tribes die than witness such heavy casualties among the Black Panther Knights.
These Black Panther Knights couldn’t be trained in a short time, especially those elite knights who had hundreds of years of combat experience! Any such knight was a tremendous asset—a priceless asset!
By this point in the war, the power of the Black Panther Knights began to show. The dwarves had great explosive strength, but their significant weakness was their poor endurance. After fighting for so long, many dwarves were exhausted, while only the rigorously trained Black Panther Knights remained full of energy.
It’s easy to imagine what would happen when a vigorous, energetic army faced an exhausted, demoralized one.
The Black Panther Knights grew increasingly confident, swinging their axes or war hammers. Each strike on the enemy’s head brought them great satisfaction!
Gradually, cracks began to appear in the ranks of the Karu coalition! By this point, the Bilu tribe had been completely intimidated by Basha’s forces. At first, they wanted to avenge their kin, but after fighting for so long, these Bilu warriors finally realized the gap between their tribe and Basha’s forces, and a sense of despair set in.

Many times, negative emotions spread like a very fast infectious disease, quickly reaching the faces of many Biliu tribe warriors. On their faces was not only sadness but also despair! Many began to blame Komhan, wondering why their tribe, which was doing well, had to join forces with the Dodge tribe in rebellion. Now, as a result, so many of their tribe’s warriors had died or been injured! In total, the death toll of the Biliu tribe had reached nearly one hundred thousand! What does one hundred thousand mean? It means that one-third of the entire Biliu tribe of three hundred and fifty thousand people had died—almost one in three! Moreover, watching the battle unfold, these Biliu warriors began to harbor resentment toward the Dodge tribe. Initially, when fighting against Basha, it was planned that the Mountain Giants would first attack the city, followed by a joint assault by everyone else. But once the war started, the Biliu warriors charged forward fearlessly. As a result, most of those fighting desperately against Basha were Biliu warriors, while many Dodge tribe warriors stayed far behind, casually watching the battle unfold. This led many Biliu warriors to grow increasingly resentful of the Dodge tribe. Why were it they who started this, only for their own people to die? Suddenly, these dwarf warriors remembered that during the reign of the Dwarf King, they had lived quite well—foreigners didn’t dare to bully the dwarves, and an agreement had been made with the magical beasts for mutual non-aggression. This meant the dwarves were much safer, even alone or at night, without having to worry about sudden attacks from magical beasts. Moreover, the Dwarf King never imposed any taxes on the poor, not even a little bit; it seemed he only suppressed those who liked to cause trouble among the dwarves! Thinking of these things, the Biliu tribe dwarves felt deeply aggrieved. Yes! Why were we here to attack the Black Panther Knights? Why kill the Dwarf King’s son? That gentle young man was actually quite nice, these Biliu dwarf warriors thought.

Kohmhan, who was commanding on the battlefield, had no idea that many of the dwarf warriors were already starting to change mentally. At this point, Kohmhan still thought it was simply because these dwarves were eager for rest! “Leader, I think our warriors can no longer hold on. What should we do?” asked Leader Li, still seeking Kohmhan’s guidance. Kohmhan liked such obedient people with sharp minds. Hearing this, he sighed and said, “Hold on a bit longer. Maybe there will be a turning point.” After thinking for a while, he added, “But leader, the casualties in our Bilu tribe are too high!” Leader Li reminded him again. “There’s no war without deaths,” Kohmhan replied thoughtfully. As these two conversed, the Karu allied forces began to show significant weakness. With the Black Panther Knights pressing forward, some of them had already penetrated deep into the Karu forces! In particular, a elite cavalry unit led by Colonel Leibao charged straight into the heart of the Karu forces without hesitation! This attack terrified many dwarfs, especially the area headed for by Colonel Leibao. Colonel Leibao had his own personal guard, composed of Black Panther Knights all at level eight or above. This guard acted like a black whirlwind, constantly attacking in all directions! By then, the six holy-level experts from the Bilu tribe had already been recalled and surrounded Kohmhan to prevent him from being suddenly attacked. As a result, the Karu forces could no longer deploy any experts. Out of ten who should have been their ultimate trump cards—these top experts among experts, the mountain giants—five were dead and five had fled, completely failing to fulfill their role. Meanwhile, their strongest figure, the second-in-command, a magical beast who rode a giant golden eagle wherever he went, was actually intercepted by an elf. Given that second-in-command’s strength, the enemy only sent one expert to completely tie him down, preventing him from using his full power.

Originally, according to the plan, Tek’s arrival was supposed to bring a sense of intimidation through his power! Relying on the cultivation level he had achieved—the highest on the continent, closest to that of a god-like being—he was to intimidate the experts from Basha’s side. However, Komhan had anticipated this; Du Fan and his companions had already obtained three divine essences in the Sacred Remains. Although complete integration of these divine essences still required time, the three members of Basha’s group who had already integrated them into their bodies were seeing their cultivation levels rise rapidly day by day. By this point, Moses could already match Tek in terms of various advantages. On Basha’s side, led by a domain expert named Leibao, the city lord, Saint-class Basha, Saint-class Six-Winged, and the eleven captains of the Saint-class Black Leopard Knights, these experts played a leading role in charging forward, constantly driving their troops deeper into the Karu allied forces! Du Fan, who had left Tek to Moses, had already reached the first city wall and was carefully observing the progress of the battle. At that moment, Naixiu also came to Du Fan’s side from the second city wall. Suddenly, Du Fan pointed at the center of the Karu allied forces—where Komhan and his six Saint-class companions were— and said to Naixiu, “Naixiu, are you confident you can kill that old man in the middle with a single arrow?”
