Chapter 1661 The Lord's Plan
Chapter 1661 The Lord's Plan
In the blink of an eye, the winged warriors led by Ya Heng arrived at Lei Xiao and the others like a whirlwind.
"Your Majesty, sirs, seeing you all here fills us with comfort and reassurance."
Yaheng stepped forward and walked to Lei Xiao, the elves, and the dwarf warriors. He frowned and said, "It seems we've run into big trouble."
After saying that, Yaheng's gaze shifted to the increasingly close formation of the possessed beings, his resolute face filled with solemnity.
The other winged warriors all wore the same expression, their faces grim, and a chill involuntarily rose in their hearts.
Those who could stand here were naturally not ordinary people, so the winged human powerhouses like Yaheng immediately discovered the formidable strength of this army of possessed beings.
Even with the combined efforts of 50 demigods and over 500 half-step seventh-tier powerhouses, the five menacing legions of sixth-tier possessors had virtually no chance of victory.
After all, according to the standard configuration of a first-class power, the combined strength of our strongmen present is only comparable to that of the enemy's generals.
It's perfectly normal for a Tier 6 legion to have 10 demigod generals and 100 half-step Tier 7 captains.
In other words, the enemy's command strength alone is enough to rival ours, not to mention the large number of possessed soldiers.
After mentally assessing the strength of both sides, even Yaheng, who always presented himself as calm and composed, unconsciously took a deep breath of the chilling air.
It has to be said that, coupled with the surrounding dark matter and dense cocoons, our side has simply walked into a complete dead end.
For a moment, not only the winged warriors who arrived last, but also the dwarf warriors were all at a loss, with cold sweat constantly seeping from their foreheads.
With an opponent closing in, we have very little time left to prepare.
"Gentlemen, there is no need to worry. His Majesty the Human Race already has a way to deal with the enemy!"
Helena stepped forward and spoke first with a solemn expression.
After Helena finished speaking, the Mirror Lake Singer, the Silver Maple Forest Ranger, and other forest spirits all echoed her sentiments.
"Then please tell us your plans, Your Majesty."
Seeing how much Helena and the other elves trusted Lei Xiao, the ruler of a second-rate power, Grand Duke Secret Flame couldn't help but become more polite in his words and asked the same question again.
"My plan is simple."
Lei Xiao pointed to the extremely open plaza ahead and said to the assembled experts, "You all just need to clear out a space there, and leave the rest to me."
"It's that simple?"
General Pan Shi looked at Lei Xiao with a hesitant expression and frowned.
After he finished speaking, the other powerful dwarves all cast puzzled glances at him, their faces full of confusion.
Currently, the entire square is completely blocked by the army of parasites. Furthermore, what help would clearing out an open space provide to the battle?
"Gentlemen, there is no time for detailed explanations; we must act immediately."
Seeing that the possessed soldiers at the forefront had already begun to draw their bows and nock their arrows, Lei Xiao addressed the crowd again: "As long as we work together, we will surely be able to overcome this difficulty."
"We are willing to obey His Majesty the Human Race's orders!"
Jane and Lorik both stepped forward immediately, saying in unison, "It is because of His Majesty the Human King's command that we have been able to get to this point!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Helena and the other forest elves echoed his sentiments and gathered around Lei Xiao.
Seeing this scene, not only the dwarves, but also the winged people like Yaheng were all astonished.
As powerful figures from first-rate forces, they all clearly understood that the arrogance of the elven warriors was no less than that of any of them, and in some ways even more obsessive.
However, even such an arrogant group of powerful individuals would willingly obey the orders of the human emperor; if this were to be told, probably no one would believe it.
Looking at Lei Xiao's calm and collected face, Ya Heng's opinion of the latter rose even higher.
Originally, his respect for Lei Xiao stemmed solely from the favor he had received from Wang Xi. Now, however, it seemed that this young human emperor was far more impressive than the Cold Flame Hero King of yesteryear.
No, the two are not even on the same level. The Hero King was just one of the human kings, and all he did in his life was to bring peace to the Cold Flame Kingdom.
The human emperor before them, however, led the entire human race out of that corner of the world, becoming the uncrowned king of second- and third-rate powers. The difference between them was simply worlds apart.
Such an extraordinary monarch could not help but impress even a member of the winged human royal family. Perhaps this is why the powerful elves were willing to lower their proud heads.
"I am willing to believe His Majesty the Human Race."
After pondering for a moment, Yaheng nodded emphatically to Lei Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, please give the order."
"Then we have no objections!"
Grand Duke of Secret Flame and General Rock exchanged a glance. Despite their many doubts, they gritted their teeth and nodded. The army of possessed beings was already close at hand, and they could no longer hesitate.
"The other side did not deploy an absolute defensive barrier, probably because they felt they didn't need such a barrier to deal with us. This is a good opportunity for us."
Lei Xiao didn't bother with any more pleasantries with the other powerful figures. He first looked at the dwarf warriors and said, "Then I'll trouble you all to take the lead."
Among the top-tier powers, the dwarven warriors are undoubtedly the most adept at head-on confrontations.
"Leave it to us."
General Rock patted his thick breastplate, a fanatical smile spreading across his lips covered by his beard. The tunnel dwarves never feared powerful enemies, even if they were outnumbered.
Grand Duke Secret Flame also raised his heavy hammer, looking equally formidable. Mountain dwarves revere the strong, and although he was a Grand Duke, he was also the bravest dwarf warrior!
Seeing the two men's imposing momentum, the other dwarf warriors were also in high spirits, raising their battle axes or swinging their giant hammers.
At that very moment, Lei Xiao had already arranged the entire team.
The dwarven warriors and a group of burly lone warriors led the charge, while the winged warriors and elves, skilled in melee combat, were deployed on the flanks. Other ranged warriors provided support in the center of the group, and the last group of warriors were responsible for bringing up the rear.
Once the deployment was complete, a gentle yet resilient force immediately made everyone present feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, which greatly surprised the powerful dwarves such as Grand Duke Secret Flame and General Rock, as well as the powerful winged beings such as Yaheng.
The reason they were able to get this far was twofold: firstly, the number of possessed beings sent to deal with them was relatively limited, and secondly, they successfully saw through the enemy's trap from the beginning.
Secondly, they carried more [God Stones] than the powerful elves, but since none of them were chosen by the gods, they naturally couldn't share the power to fight against "Erosion".
Surprised, the dwarves and winged people quickly found the source of the power, which was none other than Lei Xiao.
Originally, they thought that Lei Xiao and the others would be in the same situation, only able to rely on the combined attacks of the [God Stone] holder and the stone spirit to damage their opponents, while ordinary strongmen would at most be responsible for restraining other enemies.
Unexpectedly, Lei Xiao's power sharing directly granted all the powerful individuals present the power to resist "Erosion," which caused a qualitative leap in our combat strength!
"No wonder those powerful elves trust His Majesty the human so much; this is the power we need most."
With these thoughts in mind, the dwarf and winged warriors felt even more jubilant.
Although this power is not uncommon within their respective factions, and many cross-era powerhouses and successors possess it, its role here is self-evident!
"Impact!"
With Lei Xiao's command, all the powerful figures flew out together, and in the blink of an eye, they were within arm's reach of their opponent.
"They're just a bunch of dying ants, yet they're so oblivious to their own mortality that they dare to attack. They're just asking for trouble."
Upon seeing this, the possessed general opposite him displayed a face brimming with ferocity, filled with disdain and a sinister grin.
With a wave of his hand, countless arrows shot out, creating an overwhelming spectacle.
"To use such weak measures against us is to seriously underestimate us, isn't it?"
General Pan Shi roared and swung his giant axe out, unleashing a thick, crescent-shaped wave of energy that shattered all the arrows.
Grand Duke Secret Flame swung his heavy hammer, creating a hurricane that scattered the arrows in front of him, causing them to fall to the ground powerless.
As for the other dwarven warriors who led the charge, they each displayed their abilities, their burly and robust bodies unleashing tremendous power, their wire-like beards dancing wildly in the surging energy gusts.
The moment they pierced through the enemy's barrage of arrows, the group of powerful dwarves crashed into the enemy ranks like boulders thrown into a calm lake, creating wave after wave of earth-shattering waves.
The possessed soldiers, caught off guard, were either sent flying by the heavy hammers or sliced in half by the sharp axes, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene.
"As expected of a powerful dwarf, his melee destructive power is all at the berserker level."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and led the other experts to rush in.
"Your Majesty, the flanks are now in our hands!"
Yaheng slashed out hundreds of trajectories with his longsword and nodded emphatically to Lei Xiao.
The moment they charged into the enemy ranks, our winged warriors on both flanks began to advance to the left and right.
Wherever the sharp and swift sword light reached, the ferocious-looking possessed soldiers fell powerlessly before they could even launch an attack, turning into a pool of foul-smelling mud, leaving only their armor.
These parasitic soldiers were only at the sixth level. It was not surprising that they were torn apart when faced with the fierce attack of our powerful forces led by demigods.
As the dwarves in the front row and the powerful warriors on both flanks advanced rapidly, the open space where we were located soon grew larger and larger, and everything seemed to be proceeding according to plan.
"Once the open space is expanded a bit more, we can proceed with the next step of the plan."
While directing the ranged powerhouses to support the advancing front-line powerhouses, Lei Xiao weighed the options in his mind.
However, after only a short while, the momentum of our strongmen, who had been unstoppable, noticeably slowed down, and they began to struggle.
After the initial battle, the cunning opponents quickly gathered many demigods and half-step seventh-tier possessed generals. In addition, as our side advanced, the originally dense formation inevitably became more and more loose, which greatly increased the pressure on the powerful warriors.
"Heh heh, just a bunch of ants. Although I don't know what your intentions are, you're just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
The leader of the parasites quickly realized our intentions, and his face, covered in crystal clusters, became even more ferocious.
Under his command, more demigods and half-step seventh-tier possessed beings arrived one after another, rushing straight towards our powerful warriors with overwhelming killing intent.
Keep in mind that our side has only about five hundred strong warriors at most, while the enemy has five whole legions. The difference of a hundredfold is unimaginable.
"Don't think you can shake our resolve just like that!"
Grand Duke Miyan swung his giant hammer with immense force, forcefully knocking back a demigod possessor several steps. But at that moment, another demigod possessor seized the opportunity to launch a sudden attack from Grand Duke Miyan's side and rear.
Just as Grand Duke Miyan was caught off guard, a burly figure, equally sturdy yet exceptionally agile, appeared and easily rescued Grand Duke Miyan by wielding a sharp blade.
This figure, with the appearance of a dwarf yet exceptional agility, is none other than the stone elf of the Grand Duke of Secret Flame.
Just like the stone spirits under Lei Xiao's command, the stone spirits who can communicate with the holder of the [God Stone] are undoubtedly the holder's closest battle partners, and their cooperation is naturally extremely close.
It was precisely because of this that powerful dwarves like Grand Duke Secret Flame and powerful winged beings like Yaheng were able to reach this point. As for powerful elves like Helena, although they cooperated very closely with the stone elves, they had no choice but to avoid their sharp edge because there were too few stone elves and too many possessed beings, until they met Lei Xiao.
However, as more and more possessed generals arrived, even though our strong warriors cooperated closely with the stone elves, they soon found themselves in the same predicament as Helena and the others.
Only after Lei Xiao dispersed all the alchemical golems equipped with divine stone weapons did the pressure on the front line and the powerful figures ease slightly.
"We've already advanced so far, is His Majesty's plan still not complete?"
General Rock fought back a demigod possessed by a powerful force, and was panting heavily.
Around him, many powerful dwarfs were injured but still fighting, looking extremely disheveled.
Whether it was Grand Duke Miyan on the side or the winged powerhouses like Yaheng on both sides, they were all feeling overwhelmed and couldn't help but reveal suspicious looks.
Even as the unfavorable situation becomes increasingly apparent, they continue to push forward. Is this really effective?
"it's time!"
Just as unease and doubt grew stronger in everyone's hearts, Lei Xiao seized the opportunity and with a wave of his hand, a gigantic building instantly rose from the clearing they had just created! (End of Chapter)
