PFC Chapter 1468 A Thorny Road Ahead
Chapter 1468 A Thorny Road Ahead
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the strong men on our side and the strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance, who had been ready for action, flew out together and rushed straight towards the direction of the huge white city.
According to the information provided by Old Gary, apart from the Broken Valley Alliance warriors who followed our side, most of the remaining Broken Valley Alliance soldiers who had just been awakened were above level four, and there were also a considerable number of level five and level six warriors, enough to form a solid barrier to block the opponent's undead army that was rushing in from all directions.
To be more precise, these newly awakened soldiers of the Broken Valley Alliance appeared in almost every location of the enemy's army, causing the entire undead army to be in chaos.
Looking around, there were scenes of Broken Valley Alliance soldiers with golden lines flashing all over their bodies fighting with liches and other undead. The white skeletons and the cold light of sharp blades shuttled and collided in the black fog, and the bone fragments and magical gusts of wind were surging everywhere. It was extremely fierce.
On the ground, there were already many corpses of liches lying in a disorderly manner, and a large number of other undead spirits without flashing golden patterns were scattered all over the ground.
It can be clearly seen that the liches have all become the primary targets of attack by the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance, because everyone clearly understands that as long as the liches are dealt with, a part of the undead can naturally be dealt with at the same time.
"Your Majesty, I will go to various places to stabilize the morale of the troops first, and I will leave the army to you!"
As Lei Xiao led his men to fly out, Old Gary nodded heavily and rushed in the opposite direction with some commanders of the Broken Valley Alliance.
At this stage, those powerful warriors of the Broken Valley Alliance who had just been awakened had no idea what was happening. They were just fighting the lich based on instinct, with very little coordination and cooperation, and they had no idea of the current situation, so Old Gary's actions were obviously very necessary.
"Understood. We'll meet up in the city later."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then took the brunt of the charge, continuing to gallop towards the direction of the huge white city.
As he moved forward, Lei Xiao noticed further.
Compared to ordinary undead, the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance have much stronger defense and recovery capabilities. As long as the magic imprint core that serves as a container is not damaged, it is enough to continue fighting, which is very similar to the ancient dark elves such as Jace.
In this way, coupled with the coordinated attack of the strong men led by Lei Xiao, the undead army along the way was quickly wiped out, and they were only one step away from the huge white city.
"You damned ants! This leader will tear you into pieces!"
On the wall of the huge white city, the Lich Chief was looking at this sudden change, his dry face full of grimness and coldness. At this moment, not only the Undead army under the city, but also the area around the Lich Chief was in chaos. The figures of the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance were everywhere, causing the sounds of fierce fighting to continue.
"Hold on, everyone! Don't let those ants climb up!"
The Lich leader stretched out his withered hand and crushed the skull of a Broken Valley Alliance warrior who rushed up. Then he swung out a sky of bone swords and chopped into pieces a group of Broken Valley Alliance warriors not far away, with a look of exasperation on his face.
However, despite the rampant lich leader, the entire city wall quickly returned to peace, but the deafening roar of magic cannons had already spread from under the city.
boom! boom! boom!
The absolute defense barrier covering the surface of the giant white city suddenly exploded with intensive magic, causing the giant city itself to tremble slightly.
After just the first round of magic bombardment, the white light on the surface of the absolute defense barrier became noticeably dimmer, and even cracks began to appear faintly.
Seeing this scene, the veins on the lich leader's withered face were exposed, looking extremely terrifying.
You must know that this absolute defense barrier is not connected to the confinement barrier that just trapped Lei Xiao and others, and it does not have any means to absorb the energy of the black fog and miasma.
After all, that confinement barrier was a masterpiece deployed by that adult himself, so it was extraordinary. Although this absolute defense barrier was also extremely strong, 70% of the garrison forces had just been sent outside the city, including the energy-supplying liches and magical undeads, which greatly weakened the barrier's defensive capabilities.
After Lei Xiao received assistance from the strong men of Duan Gu Alliance, his strength was further enhanced. As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, it was not surprising that such a situation occurred.
Soon after, the second and third rounds of magic bombardment soon came again, with flames rising all over the sky, completely filling the absolute defense barrier of the huge white city with cracks.
"Master Chief, we can't hold on any longer!"
A lich with a look of utter disgrace came running over and reported to the lich leader: "The undead with golden patterns that have escaped control have occupied many of the city's energy supply towers. Some are even trying to open the city gates. Everything is out of control!"
"You bastard, hold on to this leader!"
The lich leader was furious and kicked the man out.
At this moment, the giant figure lurking deep in the Skeleton Hall spoke in a low voice in the ears of the Lich Leader: "Forget it, let the ants crawl in. I want to let them know that the inside of the city is far more terrifying than the outside of the city."
"My Lord, is the killing array you deployed in the city ready?"
Hearing this, the blood-red light in the eyes of the lich leader lit up, and he said with great joy: "I understand, I will withdraw to the area where you are now!"
After the lich leader finished speaking, he rushed out with the remaining liches and soon disappeared into the depths of the huge white city.
Crash.
As the liches left, the absolute defense barrier covered with cracks also shattered, turning into countless magic fragments in mid-air and eventually dissipating in the diffuse black fog.
"We succeeded!"
Under the towering city walls, our camp was immediately filled with joy when we saw that we had successfully broken the opponent's absolute defense barrier.
The siege soldiers led by Loris were already ready to climb the city wall. Magic bridges were extended one after another and successfully built on the giant white city wall.
But just as our soldiers under Lei Xiao's command were preparing to advance, the tightly closed skeleton city gate suddenly opened slowly.
Afterwards, a team of strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance came out and quickly joined together with the strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance in our camp.
"Your Majesty, the liches that were originally guarding the city walls have all retreated deep inside the city. Only then were they able to open the city gate without any hindrance."
After some communication, a tall and strong commander of the Broken Valley Alliance saluted Lei Xiao with his hand on his chest and reported.
"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers."
Lei Xiao nodded to the commander, and then said to Loris, Xina and others: "Since the road ahead is clear, let's set off."
After saying that, Lei Xiao led the vanguard warriors and rushed straight into the city. Loris, Sina and others did not hesitate and followed Lei Xiao's pace.
At this point, although everyone clearly understood that the Lich's actions must have some clues, the arrow has been on the string and must be shot. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, we have no choice but to move forward.
In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao had already rushed into the city gate under the guidance of the team of strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance.
However, when Lei Xiao stepped into the inner city, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face, and Loris, Sina and others who followed closely behind him all had the same expression and opened their eyes wide.
The scene in the city before them was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.
There was no black fog or miasma here, as if there was an invisible barrier separating the black fog outside the city, and the view was extremely wide.
At first glance, one could see dense skeletons and bloody rivers scattered everywhere, as well as many strange-shaped white buildings. Coupled with the dark and lifeless environment, it looked like purgatory.
This is not the most important thing. What is even more unexpected for Lei Xiao and his party is that although the view here is wide, there is no end in sight. The black fog column in the center that shoots straight into the sky is extremely far away, much farther than what they see outside the city.
Even the city wall behind it appears taller and longer, and its scale is far beyond what can be seen outside the city.
In general, the scene seen outside the city is obviously not proportional to the actual scene inside the city, as if you have come to a completely new space.
"Have we arrived at a barrier area?"
Loris' lion eyes widened and he frowned tightly.
"It's not a barrier area, it's probably a kind of space folding."
Xina pondered for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I'm afraid the other party folded the space inside the city and then built the outer city wall. In this way, the actual space inside the city is much larger than the area outside the city."
"This is not just much more spacious, it's dozens of times larger."
Old Susan's face was full of confusion, and she asked in confusion: "But why would the other party do this?"
As soon as Old Susan finished speaking, screams suddenly sounded from the flank of our army.
Everyone was startled and immediately looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a lot of broken limbs floating in the air at the place where the scream came from. Most of them were horse parts, which looked horrifying.
"Chief, Your Majesty, it's a magic trap!"
The sound of hurried horse hooves rang out, and Thomas ran over with a solemn expression on his face, saying solemnly: "Several strong men under my command just wanted to go further away to check, and ended up like this!"
"Everyone, don't act rashly!"
Lei Xiao waved his hand and frowned tightly.
Before entering the city gate just now, we had already conducted a thorough search for magic traps in the surrounding area, but found nothing.
Now, they have stepped into a trap in a place that should have been safe, which makes people feel cold.
"Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, that is not an ordinary magic trap, but a space trap. No wonder it is difficult to detect with ordinary detection methods."
Xina also frowned and said to Lei Xiao, "It seems that after the lich left, all the space traps here have been activated."
"Could it be that this place is so vast because it is filled with space traps?"
Old Susan blurted out as if something had suddenly dawned on her.
After Old Susan said this, everyone on our side suddenly understood.
The area has increased dozens of times, which undoubtedly means that the difficulty of our penetration into the enemy's lair has also increased dozens of times!
"Gather all the space experts here. They may be the only ones who can break the space trap."
Lei Xiao gave the order without hesitation.
After hearing Lei Xiao's order, a total of 5 sixth-level space masters and more than 50 fifth-level space masters appeared in front of Lei Xiao in a short time, including the masters of the Broken Valley Alliance.
Although our lineup is already quite good, space-type strongmen are extremely rare after all. This is all our strength. As for Jiang Xi who is beside Lei Xiao, he is currently in the process of advancing and can only be absent.
"Your Majesty, we have just carefully checked it. This is indeed a space magic trap, and it is extremely advanced."
The young water fairy leader who looked a bit like Old Susan stepped forward and reported to Lei Xiao: "Such a profound spatial magic trap and such a huge magic folding can only be done by a demigod or above."
Before this, Lei Xiao had already learned that this young water fairy space warrior was old Susan's sister, named Ellie, and was also the great elder of the water fairy clan, with a strength of level six and four stars.
As soon as Ellie said this, the strong men around us started to stir again.
In other words, there are undoubtedly powerful beings above level seven here, which are terrifying existences that are beyond the reach of everyone. This also means that the human king's inference is indeed correct, and there may really be demons here.
"Elder Ellie, do you have any way to detect these magic traps?"
Lei Xiao calmed his mind and asked again.
"I can't do it with my own strength, but if the comrades present here work together, maybe we can give it a try."
Ellie pondered for a moment and nodded to Lei Xiao.
"Understood. Then please let Elder take the lead. Since the other party has deployed magic traps, it means that they are not sure of defeating us head-on."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and encouraged everyone at the same time.
"As you command, Your Majesty."
Ellie nodded, and then led other space-related experts to get busy.
Not long after, accompanied by a wave of space energy surging out, the scene around us has undergone shocking changes.
I saw that the space was distorted in many places, and even jagged and blade-like transparent outlines appeared, densely spread everywhere, including in the air, like an invisible giant mouth of the abyss, opening wide and waiting for everyone's arrival.
Seeing this hair-raising scene, everyone couldn't help but gasp for air. If we had just charged forward without any preparation, we would have suffered heavy losses by now.
Fortunately, there are many gaps between most of the traps, and they are quite far apart from each other, which will become our way forward.
"Time is running out, let's get started."
After finding a safe route, just as Lei Xiao opened his mouth, an unexpected change suddenly occurred. (End of this chapter)
