After Anleisi fainted, Kaius unleashed a considerable amount of power.
The soldiers surrounding them were no match for him; only higher-level Knights could withstand a few moves, but they too quickly succumbed, ultimately unable to defend at all.
As for the Starfire Knights who theoretically could handle more moves, they had already quietly withdrawn from the battlefield after receiving orders from Hevi, and even now, their withdrawal seed to have gone unnoticed by others.
Holding Anleisi prevented Kaius from using his Three-blade Style, not only unable to hold a sword in one hand but also unable to grip one with his mouth; otherwise, he might end up harming his own sister instead of the enemy.
With just one sword, he flashed through the battlefield like a beacon, each swing of his blade causing a swath of soldiers to fall, losing combat capability. The reason these soldiers didn't die on the spot wasn't due to Kaius showing rcy, but rather he had no need to waste his strength.
He weaved through the battlefield to rescue Holy Light Knights, casting a series of Acceleration Magic on each person he saved, followed closely by a line of high-speed moving Holy Light Knights.
"Go!"
After saving the last barely-alive Holy Light Knight, Kaius visibly exhaled a breath of relief, turned, and slashed with his sword, forming a mountainous Blade Qi that instantly cleaved a path through the mass of soldiers, resembling Moses parting the sea.
The Holy Light Church mbers quickly passed through the hard-fought breach, focusing single-mindedly on their escape, unheeding of the soldiers' attacks and insults along the way.
Ultimately, the Holy Light Knights, as if their feet were greased, managed to escape successfully, their figures disappearing over the horizon without a trace.
It seed like a successful escape, with all mbers reuniting safely.
But judging by the injuries on everyone, putting aside the BUG-like Heroes, these Holy Light Knights would likely need substantial rest to recover their peak combat power.
The attacks on the Holy Light Knights included not only ordinary physical assaults but also a plague curse from a Wilderness Church mber within the rebel army, a highly concealed magic capable of eroding life force, which is extrely difficult to eradicate.
To avoid infuriating the Heroes by killing the Holy Light Knights and provoking a stronger outburst, the rebel army opted for a more indirect approach, simultaneously depleting the Holy Light Knights' energy and resources.
Hevi had heard that in fact, the Holy Light Church was also experiencing a resource shortage. Although their situation was slightly better than the rebel army's, it was not by much.
"Quick, co treat the wounded!"
After Kaius and his group escaped, the remaining soldiers quickly called for the dics to co and assist, the scene still in a state of chaos.
Rescue efforts, battlefield cleanup, situation reports... all the classic post-battle activities erged.
The people engaged in these tasks wore varied clothing; so donned fiery red robes, so wore leaf-patterned attire, others were adorned in sequined, sparkling garb...
Strict military commanders witnessing such a scene would probably feel their eyelids twitch; it all seed too much like a ragtag army.
How can you manage an army with this kind of crew!
Nonetheless, from the current situation, tonight's battle at Hepa Town seems to have subsided.
The night before sunrise could afford a slight relaxation.
The events from last night until now had been overwhelmingly colorful.
The forces of the Holy Light Church and the Starfire Church t here, but thankfully did not engage in further conflict, as they were all suddenly dragged into the erging Sain Dungeon.
All the original residents of Hepa Town had already left, following that highly contrasting rundown carriage and Magic-guided Celestial Horse out of this trouble-laden place.
The rebel army had settled into this dilapidated town, constructing temporary shelters with Earth Magic to shield from wind and rain, though these buildings outwardly resembled mounds of graves.
They had set up base, for the ti being.
Hevi erged from the invisible outpost at this mont, refraining from entering the battle to avoid escalating the situation and intensifying the combat.
As he observed the bustling crowds, initially indistinguishable to him, he could now identify at a glance which Church they belonged to.
"I can imagine how those so-called bishops and archbishops are wrangling right now. Sigh, it's such a hassle to think about."
Fortunately, he was rely a combatant, immune to the bureaucratic squabbles.
His current concern revolved solely around organizing his personnel to swiftly plunder enough resources from the Sain Dungeon, regardless of what they are, as long as they're usable.
Not only to beat the opposing Holy Light Church.
But also to get ahead of those ulterior-motivated "allies" of his own Starfire Church.
Gazing at the busy soldiers below, a thoughtful expression appeared in Hevi's eyes.
anwhile, a considerable distance away from the geographically remote Hepa Town was a larger occupied town, the scale of which dwarfed Hepa Town.
