Zhao Lu quickly led more than 900 cavalrymen to break out of the encirclement of the demons.

Although they broke out of the encirclement temporarily, the demons behind them were still chasing them closely, with no intention of letting them go.

"Everyone follow the team closely, falling behind will only lead to death!"

Zhao Lu reminded them and continued to charge forward.

In this situation, as long as they are dragged by the demons, they will only die, and no one can rescue them!

Besides, Zhao Lu could not let the whole team fall into danger because of a few people.

After hearing what Zhao Lu said, everyone also understood the seriousness of the matter.

They did not dare to take it lightly and followed the army to charge.

Puff!

At this time, the demons behind were still chasing them.

They used their sharp claws to attack the black gold dragon beast.

After all, as long as the black gold dragon beast stopped, the cavalry could not escape.

"Damn demons! Get out of my way!"

The cavalrymen of the Eternal Army saw the demons approaching and quickly waved their spears.

Puff!

The cold light of the spear tip flashed and instantly pierced the demon's head.

They knew what the demons were thinking, so they didn't dare to let them get too close.

But even though the soldiers kept swinging their spears and killing the demons one after another, some black-gold dragon beasts were still forced to stop.

The sharp claws of the demons could break the scales on the black-gold dragon beasts, leaving deep wounds.

At the beginning, this kind of wound would not cause much impact.

But as time went on, blood continued to flow out of the wound, and the speed of the black-gold dragon beast gradually slowed down.

Puff!

The demons saw the opportunity and pounced on the slowed-down black-gold dragon beasts at the same time.

No matter how fast the soldiers of the Eternal Army were, it was impossible to deal with so many demons at the same time.

The black-gold dragon beast was bitten by the demons, and the powerful force directly pulled them to a stop.

The Eternal Army soldier riding on the back of the black-gold dragon beast fell off the horse uncontrollably due to the sudden strong inertia.

He looked at the team in despair, knowing that he was doomed.

After a brief despair, a flash of madness and decisiveness flashed in his eyes.

Since he was doomed, he would drag a few demons to take the blame before he died.

Boom!

Powerful energy continued to burst out from his body.

He waved the spear in his hand, and countless fire snakes swept around.

Any demon hit by the fire snake was instantly ignited.

However, this situation did not last too long, and the soldier was thrown to the ground by the demon.

Puff!

His neck was bitten off, and blood kept spurting out. As the soldier fell, the fire snakes also dissipated.

The number of the Eternal Army was slowly decreasing.

After all, during the charge, cavalrymen were constantly being held back and then completely buried in the mouths of the demons.

There were too many demons, and as long as a cavalryman fell behind, he would be completely devoured by the surrounding demons.

However, those cavalrymen who were held back by the demons knew that falling behind meant death, and they did not disgrace the reputation of the Eternal Army.

All the cavalrymen who were left behind burst out their last strength and chose to die with these demons.

Even if the demons could kill these cavalrymen, they would at least suffer certain casualties.

Because of the delay of these cavalrymen, the cavalrymen in front quickly broke out of the encirclement and rushed towards the open woodland.

The chase between the two sides lasted for more than half an hour!

Zhao Lu finally led the cavalrymen to fight a bloody road and temporarily get rid of the pursuit of the demons.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo! Rest on the spot!"

Zhao Lu saw that the demons behind him had been completely thrown off, and gave an order directly.

After a long and fierce battle, both the cavalrymen and the war beasts were extremely tired.

If they continue to charge like this, they will probably be unable to hold on soon.

Zhao Lu didn't know what kind of dangers were ahead, so stopping to rest now was obviously the best choice.

"Report the number! Count the casualties!"

The cavalry stopped in an open forest to rest, and there were no trees around to block them.

The main reason for choosing this place to rest was that they were worried that the bushes were too dense and the demons could easily launch a surprise attack.

If they were in an open space, even if the demons wanted to launch a surprise attack, they would have to pass through a buffer zone.

Although this distance was not long, it was enough for the soldiers of the Eternal Army to react.

"Captain! A total of 730 of us escaped! 170 cavalrymen died in this battle!"

Ren Ting quickly counted the number of people and came to Zhao Lu again to report the situation.

"Okay! Remember the names of these sacrificed cavalrymen, and treat their families well after returning to the base city!"

A trace of sadness flashed in Zhao Lu's eyes."Yes! Captain!"

Ren Ting nodded.

In the next half an hour, the cavalry rested in the open space.

The demons that had surrounded them before did not catch up.

Not only did they not catch up, but even the surrounding woodland became unusually quiet, just like when they just entered the forest.

But in this situation, no one would take it to heart.

The cavalry only knew that the demons did not catch up, so they had a chance to catch their breath.

At this time, the surroundings gradually became a little darker, and night was about to fall.

They set out in the morning and arrived at the Firefly Forest. With exploration and running, it should be almost evening now.

The Firefly Forest was originally densely populated, so the light from outside could not shine in completely.

Now that night is gradually falling, the visibility around is getting lower.

"Captain! It's dark! What should we do outside?"

Ren Ting asked.

"Rest here for one night! It's not suitable to travel at night!"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Lu decided to rest in the Firefly Forest for one night.

After all, the surrounding visibility is dim now, and the visibility will be even lower when night falls!

The position they occupy now is not bad, and the surrounding area is open enough to avoid the demons' surprise attack at night.

If they continue to move forward, who knows what kind of situation they will encounter.

If they still can't find a place to set up camp after night falls, the situation will be even worse.

"Okay!"

Ren Ting nodded and quickly conveyed the order.

"All soldiers listen to the order! Rest here for one night and then travel!"

"According to the usual rules of rotating night patrols, five teams patrol, ten people in a group, and rotate every hour!"

Ren Ting quickly arranged it.

Since they are going to rest here for one night, the night patrol must be arranged to avoid the demons' sneak attacks at night.

After all, this was the demon clan's territory, so it would be easy for them to launch a sneak attack.

As night fell, a simple camp was quickly built in the open space.

Dozens of bonfires were lit to dispel the surrounding darkness.

What a pity! Even with dozens of bonfires, the woods in the distance were still dark.
