PFC Chapter 1466 Encirclement
Chapter 1466 Encirclement
As soon as Lei Xiao said this, there was silence all around. Including Loris and Sina, almost everyone present had a more solemn expression or frowned tightly.
According to the description of the surviving Alliance general, although the outline and image of the giant statue standing deep in the ruins cannot be seen clearly, and no one knows what it is, but since there are a series of demon statues and swarms of liches there, the answer is obvious.
According to the records in ancient documents, since the Winter War in the Age of the Sun, that is, after the gods defeated the evil gods, although all the evil gods died, there would still be remnants of demons or the chosen sons of the evil gods, trying to continue the destruction and death, and secretly established many evil god temples and demon temples.
Since the Silver Moon Era, the chosen sons of all races, and even the gods themselves, have fought head-on with these remnants and eliminated all the demons and evil gods they saw. Documents also record that the evil flames have been completely extinguished.
But judging from the current situation, whether it is the chosen son of the evil god that Lei Xiao once encountered in the human territory, or the lich today, they are obviously the remnants of the past who escaped the net.
The ancient ruins discovered by Old Gary were probably a temple of an evil god or a demon, and the true identity of the unidentified statue must be the minions and servant demons of the evil god, or even the evil god himself.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the unknown giant statue has bewitched Waters?"
Loris took a deep breath and asked.
"That's the only reasonable answer."
Lei Xiao confirmed Loris's opinion and continued, "Perhaps it is not a statue at all, but a statue that has fallen into a deep sleep like the lich. Although the statue has not yet awakened, it is enough to confuse people."
"That makes sense. So, the opponent we faced from the beginning was not just the lich, but also the true face of the giant statue?"
Xina frowned and nodded thoughtfully.
"Do you remember what we have been speculating about before, the backer behind the lich?"
Lei Xiao gently stroked his chin and continued, "Perhaps that backer is not a second-rate force at all."
"Could it be that the true identity of that giant statue is the lich's real backer?"
Loris took over the conversation and said suddenly, "In this case, everything makes sense! After all, those nearby second-rate forces are currently guarding against each other and have no manpower and energy to take care of our side!"
After saying that, Loris also frowned tightly.
This undoubtedly means that our real opponent is obviously much more difficult than a second-rate force that cannot take care of this place.
Hearing the sound, the other members of our team all looked solemn and subconsciously tightened their weapons.
If that is a temple of the evil god, then wouldn't we have to contend with the evil god? That is an existence that even the gods cannot despise.
"Don't worry, that can't be the real evil god. Otherwise, with the power of the evil god that bewitched all races, it would have already swept across the entire plate. How could the lich stay here all the time?"
Lei Xiao saw what everyone was thinking and added, "So, the answer is self-evident."
As soon as Lei Xiao said this, the extremely tense atmosphere immediately eased a lot, and almost everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
His Majesty the Human Race is right. If the opponent is extremely powerful, they will definitely not sit still, and will not even harm the second-rate forces.
If it was not an evil god but a demon, perhaps we would still be able to fight.
"But Your Majesty, since the beginning of the battle against the lich, we have never encountered any other terrifying beings."
Old Gary's voice also became much more serious, and he asked, "Could it be that the situation is not that bad?"
"Old leader, no matter what, we must make plans and be mentally prepared for the worst. The reason why the backer behind the lich didn't show up back then was probably because his strength had not yet recovered."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded: "And now, a long time has passed. Even if its strength has not been fully restored, it will still be a terrifying force. Otherwise, it would never attempt to get involved in the Desert Alliance, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, and my territory at the same time."
"Your Majesty is right. If our Broken Valley Alliance had won the victory, there wouldn't be such a disaster!"
Old Gary slammed his hand bones against the wall and sighed heavily, while Loris and Sina both looked helpless.
If their alliance had sent troops to help at that time, perhaps the evil could have been nipped in the bud, but unfortunately, there are no ifs in history.
"But even if we have never noticed the existence of the backers behind the Lich, and even the second-rate forces nearby have not noticed it, could it be that those first-rate forces at the top of the myriad races have not noticed it either?"
A trace of doubt emerged on Lannis's resolute face, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "If they noticed it, why didn't they take action to destroy the lich? After all, it was the enemy of all races in the first two eras."
"Catman leader, this problem is actually not difficult to understand. Perhaps they really haven't noticed it."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded: "Or maybe they have already noticed it, but that doesn't mean they will take action. After all, this place is far away from their territory."
"Although they have sufficient capabilities, as long as their interests are not affected and they do not pose a threat to themselves, they will naturally not take action."
"The gods have gone away, and this is no longer the Age of the Sun or the Age of the Silver Moon. Everything is no longer the same as it was before."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "Otherwise, with the great disaster likely to come at any time today, if those forces standing at the top of the myriad races really have such a sense of responsibility, they would have put aside their prejudices and united all forces to prepare for the great disaster. Why would they choose to keep themselves out of it and regard the weaker forces as a burden?"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Loris and Sina both nodded in agreement.
His Majesty the Human Race is right. All races did go through a glorious period hand in hand. But now the gods are gone, the blank era is full of mysteries, and everything is no longer the same as it used to be.
The whole world seems to be shrouded in a deep fog and may fall into the abyss at any time, but no one knows the real root cause.
For a moment, the atmosphere around became extremely depressing again. Everyone was silent, sighing in their hearts.
"Everyone, fortunately we still have a chance to change all this, and this is what I have been doing."
Lei Xiao's tenacious and powerful voice sounded again, reaching the ears of everyone present: "At least we can still walk side by side. We have not given up hope. As long as we are still standing here, holding each other's hands tightly, hope will never be extinguished."
As Lei Xiao finished his words, everyone nodded and became excited again.
Even Old Gary and other strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance cast respectful glances. In the beginning, when they realized that it was this young human emperor who was in control of the situation, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised. After all, the weakness of the human race was well known to everyone, and they were far from having the ability to even set foot in the outside world.
Now it seems that the human race is no longer what it used to be, and this young human emperor is standing at the top of the crowd as expected.
With the human emperor in front, perhaps they can really succeed in their revenge, even if they are facing the demons in the shadows and the liches that defeated them once.
"Your Majesty, look! Fleming has already partially broken the barrier!"
Soon, Joniel's excited voice rang out and reached Lei Xiao's ears: "We can leave here now!"
"There is no time to lose, let's take action immediately."
Hearing the voice, Lei Xiao nodded to the three leaders, and then continued to gallop towards the front of the passage under the guidance of Old Gary and other strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance.
Not long after, the scene in front of them suddenly became clear and the surroundings were filled with thick black fog again. Lei Xiao and his group had returned to the ground.
Not far away, the giant white city of the lich was still faintly visible, which undoubtedly meant that we were not far from the place where the sudden change had just occurred.
"Your Majesty, everyone has regrouped. Only some of the most seriously injured warriors have been left in a hidden area of the dungeon for treatment."
Loris nodded to Lei Xiao and reported.
"Your Majesty, we are ready and waiting for your orders at any time."
Old Gary also stepped forward and handed over the command to Lei Xiao.
"Understood. Then please prepare yourself. Next we will continue to break the absolute defense barrier of the opponent's main city."
Lei Xiao held Rolandel tightly and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
In the previous fierce battle in the dungeon, although some of our strong men were killed or wounded, with the addition of Old Gary and others, our strength has increased instead of decreased, which will make our progress smoother.
However, as soon as Lei Xiao finished his words, a dense rain of arrows suddenly came from all directions, accompanied by overwhelming bone spears and other necromancy spells, which set off wave after wave of murderous gale.
Although we had erected an absolute defense barrier in the first place through Xiao Jie's secret method, and had sufficient energy to avoid an immediate fatal attack, the sudden whistling of arrows and spells overhead still startled everyone.
"What's going on? Our location is clearly out of the enemy's main city's range. Could it be that the enemy has left the city?"
Xina frowned, her fair face full of awe.
"I'm afraid the other party has not left the city. Look around carefully again."
While Lei Xiao was commanding more of our strong men to power the barrier, he was pointing towards the depths of the black fog.
Following the direction of Lei Xiao's finger, everyone noticed that there were dark white figures looming in the depths of the fog, and a strong sense of hostility was coming towards them.
I saw that our army was surrounded by dense swarms of undead armies on all sides, and they were still advancing towards our position.
Compared with our army formation of nearly two legions, the enemy's number is probably at least ten times that of ours, and they have already surrounded us.
"My Lord, judging from the aura, there are at least 20 fourth-level undead legions on the opposite side."
Xiao Jing, who had a superb sense, concentrated for a while and reported to Lei Xiao: "Moreover, there are still a steady stream of undead armies rapidly approaching this direction, with dozens of legions in total."
"That's right. Judging from the footsteps, there are about a million people quickly surrounding us."
Loris lay on the ground and listened for a moment, then stood up and confirmed.
"Have the undead armies in other skeleton fortresses arrived so quickly? It seems that they are moving faster than we expected."
Xi Na crossed her arms, frowning even more tightly, and said, "It's true that just when one wave subsides, another wave rises."
"Not only did the other party's speed of action exceed our expectations, but we also wasted too much time in the dungeon."
After observing the rapidly approaching army of undead, Lei Xiao took a deep breath.
Sheena was right, problems did come one after another.
And now, facing the enemy's surrounding Undead army, we are undoubtedly once again caught in a dilemma.
Our strength is only two fifth-tier legions, and their combat power can only match the 2 fourth-tier undead legions currently surrounding us.
In this situation, even if we tried our best to wipe out these 20 Undead Legions, we would not be able to attack the city again, let alone the other Undead Legions that would surround us later.
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking about what to do next, a lich with a withered face covered with black magic patterns appeared on the towering wall of the Undead Main City, looking down at our surrounded side. It was the lich leader from before.
A look of disdain and contempt appeared on the lich leader's mummy-like face, and a grim voice resounded through the world.
"Human Emperor, I didn't expect you to escape from the underground city. This really surprised me, but that's all. You will definitely die today!"
After saying that, the Lich Leader's bloodshot eyes, filled with murderous intent, fell on Old Gary and other strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance, and his voice became more murderous.
"You bastards are still hanging around. You are so ridiculous that you continue to fight against me in such a ridiculous way. It's really disgusting and hilarious."
"Do you think you can really shake me? I was able to wipe you all out once before, and I can wipe you out a second time today!"
After that, the lich leader waved his withered arm and ordered the undead army under the city: "Kill all these ants who overestimate their own strength!"
As the lich leader's grim words fell, murderous intent surged around us, and countless fierce attacks pierced the sky and roared in from all directions again. (End of this chapter)
