Chapter 1552: Battle Situation and Difficulties of Advance and Retreat
As the old and sharp voice fell, an extremely powerful aura suddenly surged out from the mysterious giant city, stirring up the fog in the entire underground space, as if a huge wave was stirred up in an instant.
"Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Feeling the whistling energy gale rushing towards her, Lila reacted extremely quickly. She immediately ordered the stone giant soldiers with a nervous look on her face to prepare for the attack.
The stone giant leader clearly understood that judging from the earth-shaking momentum, the opponent's overall strength would not be inferior to the three stone giants under her command, not to mention that the opponent had been fighting with the invincible "Eclipse" for a month and was still on par with her! Facing such a mysterious opponent, how could she not feel awe?
Just as the stone giant was on full alert, the ground where we were suddenly shook, causing the earth to tremble wildly.
Before everyone could react, the ground around them suddenly splashed with dirt and rocks, and ferocious figures even larger than the stone giants suddenly emerged, stirring up a cloud of dust.
In the blink of an eye, these sudden giants reached an extremely impressive number, and it seemed that there were at least thousands of them.
When the dust was a little thinner, everyone could quickly see the true appearance of these huge monsters.
The other party's appearance is very similar to that of a dragon, but it has no wings on its back. Instead, it has smooth and translucent black scales all over its body.
As for its size, although it is slightly larger than a stone giant, it is not as huge as a real dragon. Apart from that, its mouth full of sharp dragon teeth and claws with cold light are no different from those of the dragon clan.
For a moment, whether it was the hostility and murderous intent emanating from these behemoths, or the majestic aura of all of them being above level five, everyone had to be on high alert.
"Your Majesty, it's an earth dragon!"
Lila immediately figured out the other party's true identity and said to Lei Xiao: "Their numbers are still increasing!"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao ordered his men to help reinforce the absolute defense barrier, and nodded thoughtfully.
Although I have never seen an earth dragon, I have heard of it.
Just as it looks, this is a sub-dragon-like monster that is extremely similar to a dragon.
Like other sub-dragon monsters, earth dragons do not have the intelligence of giant dragons, but act based on instinct. They usually live near magical veins deep underground, and can enhance their own strength through the huge energy contained therein.
For earth dragons, magic mineral veins are excellent natural training grounds, so the strength of earth dragons is often very good, and some large tribes are even able to compete with the first-class forces standing at the top of all tribes.
Almost all top forces have encountered groups of earth dragons while exploring for magical mineral veins. Especially for the dwarves who love drilling holes and mining, they encounter earth dragons more frequently, but they also pay a lot of price.
It is said that since the blank era, many of the dwarf's underground cities have inexplicably lost contact. When other dwarves discovered them, they had become a valley of death with corpses everywhere and traces of earth dragons running rampant. This is a clear example.
Of course, for the human race who have almost no high-quality magic veins and the third-rate forces on the edge of the outer domain, there is no need to worry about digging up the nest of the earth dragon, because this ferocious monster usually only appears near high-quality magic veins and is not interested in those ordinary veins with limited magic power.
"Could it be that these earth dragons are the true face of the mysterious city?"
Jasmine looked through our absolute defense barrier at the increasing number of huge monsters approaching us, and her brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
As a forest elf, she naturally knew about this rather troublesome existence.
Not only do earth dragons have amazing attack power and agility, their scales are also extremely hard. Some even have a certain ability to rebound attacks, making them undoubtedly extremely difficult to deal with.
"No, I'm afraid it's worse."
Lei Xiao also frowned and reminded Jasmine, "Look at the foreheads of some earth dragons."
After Lei Xiao's reminder, Jasmine noticed through the dust that there were faint flashes of black crystals on the foreheads of many earth dragons. However, the black crystals were very close in color to the black scales of the earth dragons themselves, and coupled with limited vision, it was difficult to notice them.
“Is this… could this be…”
Jasmine was stunned at first, but then she quickly reacted and blurted out, "Could it be that all these earth dragons have been parasitized by the Eclipse?"
Jasmine, who had followed Lei Xiao through the Battle of Guanwang City, clearly understood that although the crystals had not yet covered the entire body, this was the initial characteristic of being parasitized by "Erosion"!
"Yes, they are probably the ones who were fighting fiercely just now, but they are not the mysterious city, but the "Eclipse" that is besieging the mysterious city."
As he spoke, the energy around Lei Xiao surged, and he had already completed the power stimulation of the stone elves, and shared the power to fight against the "Eclipse" with the surrounding strong men and stone giant soldiers. He affirmed: "No wonder the battle just now came to an abrupt end. It turns out that these "Eclipses" did not evacuate this place, but turned their targets to us."
After hearing what Lei Xiao said, Lila and other stone giants beside him couldn't help but tighten their weapons.
You know, the group of violent and ferocious earth dragons are already extremely troublesome, and now they are even parasitized by "Erosion" and are completely immune to all kinds of ordinary attacks. It is simply terrible.
Moreover, "Eclipse" possesses intelligence, which undoubtedly means that these earth dragons are no longer magical beasts that act on instinct!
Thinking of this, Lila, the leader of the stone giants, felt her scalp tingling.
There are thousands of these parasitic earth dragons, probably at least half a legion in size. Most of them are level five, and there are even an astonishing number of level six. In the history of the Stone Giants, there has never been an "eclipse" of this scale.
If these guys suddenly attacked the surrounding stone giant villages, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just as Lila felt a chill in her heart, a number of giant, pitch-black eyeballs appeared behind the group of earth dragons. They were the large number of "Eclipses" that had not yet parasitized!
For a moment, waves of inexplicable fear began to rise in our camp. That was the negative impact of "Eclipse".
Before Lila could react, the parasitic earth dragons all roared, opened their bloody mouths and pounced towards us!
After seeing this scene, not only Lila and the other three half-step seventh-level stone giants, but all the stone giant soldiers felt at a loss.
You know, most of the stone giants present had never seen "Eclipse" before, but had only heard of this terrifying existence. They were plagued by inexplicable fear and trembling, and didn't even know how to attack these invincible opponents.
boom! boom! boom!
A series of deafening magic explosions suddenly sounded, and magic parabolas whizzed towards the group of savage earth dragons. Wherever the sound reached, the space was distorted, thunder rumbled, and dazzling magical lights rose and fell, setting off waves of violent energy.
Under such a powerful force, all the earth dragons that tried to approach our absolute defense barrier were blown away, and many of them were even torn into pieces in mid-air, raising a blood mist all over the sky, leaving only a pile of fragments scattered down.
Needless to say, it was Lei Xiao and his warriors who took action. With the experience of resisting the "Eclipse" in Guanwang City, although it was also the first time for Lei Xiao and others to deal with a parasitic earth dragon, they were obviously much calmer than Lila and others.
"Everyone, I have shared with you the power to fight against the Eclipse."
Lei Xiao nodded to Lila and other stone giant warriors, and ordered: "As for the other soldiers, just do your best to maintain the barrier and formation. As long as they can stand firm in the fear brought by the "Eclipse", they will be the best soldiers!"
Through the experience gained from Watching City, Lei Xiao already knew how to train soldiers who were facing "Eclipse" for the first time, which was to conquer the fear brought by the opponent.
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Looking at Lei Xiao's calm face, Lila and the other two came to their senses immediately, and suddenly felt a sacred and powerful force rising from the bottom of their hearts. That was the power of divine favor that Lei Xiao shared.
After completing the power stimulation of the stone elves and receiving feedback, the power of God's favor that Lei Xiao shared naturally also carried the power of the stars to resist "eclipse".
With Lei Xiao's calm command, the originally panicked stone giant army formation quickly stabilized, and the stone giant warriors led by Lila, together with Lei Xiao and others, launched an offensive towards the opponent.
After adapting for a while, the stone giant warriors quickly became a considerable force, blasting away more and more earth dragons.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
As expected of a force that has been competing with Demi-Titans for many years, these stone giant soldiers have a strong ability to adapt, especially the strong ones like Lila. It goes without saying that the magic-type strong ones like Kayla, the physical strong ones like Lila and Peyton have also switched to flying axes and javelins, making an intensive offensive like a meteor shower whistling towards the "Eclipse" camp.
Under our intensive offensive, not only the parasitic earth dragons that pounced on us, but also many of the "Eclipses" in the back row were affected and turned into a pool of foul-smelling mud.
"As expected of you, Your Majesty! Our attack worked on Eclipse!"
Seeing this scene, Lila and others couldn't help but feel excited.
Since the blank era, with the sudden outbreak of the magic veins, despite the timely intervention of the "Eclipse" destroyers, many stone giants still fell at the feet of the "Eclipse" in despair. The stone giants who came later were powerless, and any attack could not hurt the opponent at all.
Now, they have finally caused damage to "Eclipse" for the first time, how can they not be excited?
While they were excited, the stone giants looked at Lei Xiao with reverence. It was because of the sharing of this human king that they were able to do all this!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
While our strong men, led by Lei Xiao, were attacking the enemy, the earth dragons and "Eclipse" that were parasitized in other places were still madly attacking our barrier wall, causing muffled sounds that shook the earth and sky to come one after another.
After a while, the originally solid and thick barrier wall became thinner and even cracks appeared faintly.
Noticing this scene, Lei Xiao frowned slightly.
At present, I have not ordered our strong men to take out the divine stone weapons, but they all rely on the power of God that they share to fight against the opponent.
The reason why he did this was to hide the divine stone weapons, which did not exist in this land, to the greatest extent possible. After all, there were still the "Eclipse" destroyers who were likely observing all this in secret.
These mysterious and unscrupulous guys have already fought against "Eclipse" to the point of being possessed by demons. If they learn about this magical weapon that can fight against "Eclipse", the possibility of them coveting it cannot be ruled out.
At that time, he would undoubtedly become the one who was innocent but was guilty of possessing a treasure, and it was very likely that he would create an enemy with unfathomable strength for no reason.
At least with his current strength, he is unable to contend with these demonic guys who can compete with the first-rate forces. What's more, the other party has also informed the half-titans and stone giants about the Titan Temple.
Although I don’t know what the other party’s purpose is, I can be sure that the other party has probably noticed me.
In this situation, even if this is just his own guess, he would never take out the divine stone weapon easily, because he shoulders too many expectations and responsibilities. Once he takes a wrong step, there will be corpses everywhere.
"But then again, so far, the largest number of people I have shared the power of God with is only a few hundred, which is ultimately too limited."
"Fei'er and Bing Lao, who are also the chosen ones of God, can also use the magic stone weapons to share the power of resisting "erosion" with more stone giant soldiers. If the situation continues to deteriorate like this, I will have to show my magic stone weapons."
Looking at the "Eclipse" and earth dragons that were still constantly emerging from the ground, Lei Xiao's brows furrowed even more.
Although the number of these "Eclipses" was not endless, it had already exceeded his expectations. Not to mention a large number of level six and level six peak earth dragons, there was even the aura of a half-step level seven.
Once our absolute defense barrier is broken, it will most likely be a catastrophe. What's more, there is that mysterious city waiting in the wings and even threatened to take action just now.
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking in his heart and felt caught in a dilemma, Lila and other stone giants obviously noticed this, and a trace of uneasiness appeared on their faces.
Although the power of His Majesty the Human is amazing, I didn't expect the number of "Eclipses" and parasitic earth dragons to be so large!
Just when everyone was getting a little overwhelmed, something strange happened again.
The entire underground space suddenly shook again, and extremely dense horse hoof sounds suddenly rang out, getting closer and closer to us, and the direction from which the sound came was exactly that mysterious city.
"These are at least two fifth-order legion cavalrymen!"
Lila was stunned at first, a trace of nervousness surged on her fair face, and she blurted out: "Could it be that the other party wants to reap the benefits?" (End of this chapter)
