Chapter: 823

Handy was part of the attack too and may prove to be successful, but Jay wasn’t counting on it; it was still level three, and wielding a two-handed sword to assassinate an enemy was no easy task.

Yet if four knights went down, it would be enough; the enemy forces would only have four on their side, with two being of the intelligent variety.

The skeletons took some time to get into position, and it was no easy task to remain hidden, as the knights were all looking into the forest and scouting while this was happening.

However there was a problem - one of the scouting knights were now walking directly to the slain intelligent knight’s corpse.

“Shit…” Jay thought, sensing his skeletons were not ready.

Of the five skeletons at his disposal, only three were in position to assassinate. Handy and Sweeper were still navigating around the forest, trying to remain hidden while doing so.

“Come on…” Jay could only clench his fists.

But it was too late.

A lesser knight had stumbled across the corpse, and already called an intelligent one over - he had to give the signal, or maybe he woudn’t be able to pick any off.

It was a few steps from seeing its fallen comrade - but before that could happen, Jay gave the order.

(Do it, then collapse on them.)

Without warning, three heavy clunks of armor simultaneously hit the ground, making all the others turn to see.

Yet for one of them, turning it’s back to the forest was the most foolish thing it could have done.

While it didn’t go according to plan, the results were the same.

Only four knights remained as the skeletons swarmed from the forest.

The two intelligent knights realized their mistake - not only had their two scouts died, but there was an enemy with overwhelming force capable of slaying them, and now they didn’t even have numbers on their side.

Yet all hope was not lost.

The knights nodded at each other and ran back to the middle, getting into a defensive formation before anymore could be picked off.

However Jay was pleased with this decision.

“Only a matter of time, then.” Jay smiled - yet his grin soon disappeared.

The four knights looked around, and found that the enemy numbers were, well, not that numerous.

The skeletons surrounded them, five versus four - though there was currently no way to get at the spine of the knights, it would only be a matter of time.

However the knights were not going to let this become a losing battle of attrition.
