Chapter 1447: Defeat and Penetration
Chapter 1447: Defeat and Penetration
Seeing the human soldiers display their prowess and knock down the heavily armored Undead soldiers, the morale of the cat soldiers was greatly boosted and they followed Lei Xiao's footsteps and resumed the attack.
Under Lei Xiao's first attack, the opponent's originally indestructible defense line was completely torn apart almost in the blink of an eye, and the formation began to become chaotic.
As for the remaining skeleton heavy armored soldiers, they were either purified by the holy light bullets that fell from the sky, or annihilated by the swarming cat-men army, and soon disappeared completely.
"Just a bunch of weak humans, they actually dealt a heavy blow to my Skeleton Army!"
Watching the undead army he had carefully trained turn to ashes, the withered face of the lich warrior was distorted with anger. His blood-red eyes were fixed on Lei Xiao's figure, and murderous intent filled his whole body.
Lei Xiao's body was surrounded by lightning, but he was still rushing at the front with Lannis and other powerful catmen.
Although the Gorgon's petrifying light is extremely terrifying, once it directly touches a person, any part of the body will instantly turn into stone, and it has a strong ability to penetrate magic shields and even armor.
However, Lei Xiao's defense is impenetrable under the protection of a series of enhancement buffs and thick energy barriers, so he can easily deal with this level of chaotic fighting.
As for why the human soldiers were able to display their great power, that was a kind of group magic, and it was also what Lei Xiao was thinking about.
On the ice and stone wall where chanting could be heard, some elite priests took the lead in constructing magic circles and leading the attack targets, while other magicians participated in providing energy, forming the current intensive offensive of holy light bullets.
Although this does not seem complicated, it actually requires rigorous training to be able to successfully launch an attack. After all, the magic power supply of sacred spells is completely different from that of ordinary spells, and precise magic power conversion is required to achieve the effect of the attack.
"If it were before, this kind of closely coordinated group spell would obviously be difficult for human soldiers to achieve, but with the help of our foreign forces such as the Wood and Flower Fairies who are good at spell attacks, who have shared their experiences and taught us everything without reservation, it has begun to take shape. This is also the reason why I promote exchanges and cooperation."
"In this vast land where thousands of races live together, the fastest way to reach the truth of the world and perfect the "fortress" is to allow each force to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and work hand in hand with each other."
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao frowned again.
Not long ago, Chris, Broy and other subordinates defending in the Desolate Fortress and Yingming Fortress had sent messages one after another, saying that the enemy's aggressive army had already arrived at the city and was launching an unprecedented large-scale offensive.
The earth-shaking momentum was obviously intended to completely wipe out our soldiers and the city, leaving no room for any chance at all.
In other words, time is running out for him. If he cannot stop the opponent's offensive before he destroys everything, all his previous efforts will be wasted.
With the Lich's notorious brutal temper, all our soldiers and people will become fuel for the undead and forbidden spells, with lives being destroyed everywhere and no hope of survival at all.
"Everyone, please wait for me to come back."
Lei Xiao's brows became more and more furrowed, and his attacks became more and more fierce.
At this time, the cat soldiers had almost completely occupied the fortress walls, while the other side was hiding on the stairs and horse paths on both sides of the wall, still blocking our advance.
Although the enemy was at a disadvantage, more Gorgon soldiers had already gathered below the fortress and around the lake in the distance, and were building the second and third lines of defense to surround the entrance to the sacred land.
The continuously spitting out snake tongues were looming in the darkness, accompanied by tens of thousands of huge snake tails twisting back and forth, and the sound of "rustling" intensive movement was constantly heard on the ground.
In addition, there are a large number of skeleton magicians lined up in an orderly manner, advancing towards us. The bone staffs are filled with deathly aura, making the already bloody battlefield even more eerie and cold.
After seeing this scene, the eyes of Lannis and other powerful cat people became more solemn.
Although our side is stronger, we have more than a dozen well-trained legions here after all. It is obviously not an easy task to break through the opponent's layers of defense.
“Hahaha, so what even if the absolute defense barrier is broken? This is our home turf!”
After a series of fierce battles, the eyes of the Gorgon General were red, and he was obviously in a state of madness. He said unscrupulously: "By the time you break through here, your Desolate Fortress and Yingming Fortress will have been razed to the ground!"
"Who said we can't break through here quickly?"
At the front line of the battlefield, Lei Xiao remained calm and composed. Behind him, a large number of our magic cannons had been set up on the city walls, with tens of thousands of gun muzzles aimed at the enemy formations inside the fortress.
boom! boom! boom!
The deafening bombardment immediately became the main theme of the battlefield. All kinds of magical explosions then stirred up in the enemy's army, setting off one wave of bloody storm after another.
Although the opponent's long-range counterattack was quite fierce, it was obviously inferior to our firepower.
It didn't take long before the originally well-organized military formation inside the enemy's fortress was blown to pieces, with screams and curses ringing out one after another.
"As expected of His Majesty the Emperor of the Human Race!"
Seeing the human soldiers show their prowess again, the morale of the cat soldiers was boosted again. They quickly broke through the opponent's first line of defense and completely controlled the inside and outside of the city wall.
Then, the cat-people soldiers rushed down the stairs and horse paths on both sides of the city wall and continued to attack the interior of the fortress.
For a moment, our momentum was so high that the enemy soldiers were killed and they threw away their weapons and armor, causing chaos in the fortress.
"Your Majesty, leave this to the First and Second Elders! I will lead the elite soldiers to follow you into the opponent's coronation site!"
Lannis's claws gleamed with cold light. After pulling out a lich hiding in the dark and tearing it to pieces, he nodded to Lei Xiao who was not far away and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will fight to the death by your side!
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lord Patriarch!"
The long sword in Lei Xiao's hand also emitted purple light, and he directly cut off a team of necromancers who were trying to perform bone explosion along with their staffs, and then he took Lannis and others and flew towards the entrance next to the rock by the lake.
While moving forward at a high speed, looking at the powerful cat-men such as Lannis on his left and right, a look of helplessness emerged on Lei Xiao's face.
At present, there are indeed no other strong men on our side. Yuji, Jiang Li and Louise are still in the process of advancing, and Chris and others are holding on to two of our fortresses.
Gray Old Man and Joniel went to the Rainforest Fortress Alliance. As for Ice Old Man, the only one who fought alongside him, Lei Xiao stayed in Ice Stone City to restore the defensive barrier with Frost as soon as possible and did not bring him with him.
Soon, on the battlefield that had completely turned into a melee, Lei Xiao, Lannis and other powerful cat-men had arrived at the location Emily mentioned.
"As long as we move this huge rock that is strong enough to withstand a level 6 attack, the entrance will be below."
Lei Xiao turned his palm upward, and a summoning scroll of a sixth-level stone giant emerged.
Just when Lei Xiao was about to activate the scroll, a long-dormant figure exuding a majestic aura suddenly jumped out from behind a boulder and attacked Lei Xiao from behind!
The person who came was none other than the Gorgon general.
"Human Emperor, go to hell!"
The Gorgon general opened her bloody mouth and turned into a giant python, as if she was going to swallow Lei Xiao in one bite.
At the same time, the powerful lich smiled sinisterly and cast countless bone chains in the dark, temporarily isolating Lei Xiao from Lannis and others.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Seeing that the other party was about to attack Lei Xiao and he was unable to rush to his rescue in time, a look of anxiety suddenly appeared on Lannis's face and he blurted out.
"Hahaha, it's too late!"
The Gorgon's aura became even more violent, and her wild and piercing laughter echoed throughout the world.
The next second, the laughter stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a heavy muffled sound.
Just when the Gorgon general was very close to Lei Xiao, she was suddenly knocked to the ground by a powerful invisible force, raising a cloud of dust.
For a moment, the thick snake body struggled back and forth frantically on the ground, but it could not move forward at all.
"Gravity suppression? It turns out that His Majesty the Human Race has a powerful helper beside him!"
Lannis' eyes lit up and he discovered that there was a slender figure beside Lei Xiao, who was the source of the gravity spell.
Needless to say, the figure was naturally Xiao Jie who cast the confinement barrier. As Lei Xiao's exclusive stone elf, Xiao Jie already had an unspoken fighting tacit understanding with Lei Xiao.
"How dare you sneak attack the Lord!"
Xiao Jie waved her slender hand, and countless magic bullets shot out like a landslide and tsunami, smashing the opponent to pieces in almost the blink of an eye.
After her master Lei Xiao was promoted to the sixth level, Xiao Jie, who was originally not good at attacking, became more comprehensive and capable of competing with ordinary sixth-level warriors.
At the same time, another petite figure appeared behind the powerful lich like a ghost, and the thin sword in her hand drew thousands of silver tracks, directly turning the opponent into pieces on the ground.
Needless to say, the one who took action was Lei Xiao's other stone elf Xiao Jing.
"What a fierce method! These two enemy level six warriors have almost no ability to fight back."
This scene made the powerful cat-men like Lannis look at Lei Xiao with a little more awe in their eyes.
The human emperor not only has great strength himself, but also has two such powerful helpers by his side. No wonder he would go to their capital alone.
Coupled with the dozens of sixth-level magic scrolls that were just activated, if the human emperor wanted to leave the previous hall, even if they all joined forces, it would be difficult to stop him.
While feeling shocked, Lannis and others were also excited.
Originally, facing the unknown place of the opponent's coronation, they had already held the belief that there was no return, but now, seeing that Lei Xiao's strength once again refreshed their cognition, it undoubtedly made them see a ray of hope again!
"Now I seem to understand why the dwarves and other foreign forces respect His Majesty the Human Race so much."
Lannis looked at Lei Xiao's back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that Emily was right about him."
On the other side, Lei Xiao had already commanded the summoned stone men to move the boulder away, and sure enough, a passage leading straight downwards appeared.
"Everyone, let's keep moving forward."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate, nor did he care about the huge stone giant who could not enter the passage. He took the two stone elves and flew towards the depths of the underground. Lannis and other cat-men followed closely behind and took their own steps.
As they were speeding deeper underground, Lei Xiao noticed that the shouting and screaming at the entrance were gradually fading away.
The passage here is slightly narrow, and the surrounding area is full of white hard structures similar to rocks, emitting a faint fluorescence, smooth and frosted, as if they were formed naturally.
But this is the depth of an endless desert. According to intelligence, the average depth of sand coverage is more than 100 meters. This means that at least near the surface, it should be all sand. This situation is undoubtedly puzzling.
However, the current situation is urgent, and Lei Xiao obviously cannot take care of these things. Instead, he focuses on the possible magic traps.
"According to the information Emily provided, only a very small number of Gorgons know about this secret passage, including Sheena and Belinda."
"So it's not surprising that the other party has deployed troops here for defense. But from the current situation, apart from the superficial defensive measures, there are no traces of any magic traps here."
"It seems that the enemy obviously did not expect Emily to escape their sneak attack. Even the fortress just now was deployed temporarily. It is not surprising that this situation occurred."
"In other words, at least before we go deep into the opponent's coronation site, we will have a smooth journey."
Just as Lei Xiao had thought, the next step in the passage was indeed very smooth without encountering any obstacles, until the group's eyes suddenly opened and they found themselves in an extremely spacious space.
The white hard structure here is still the same as before, with its own fluorescent effect. Even without lighting spells, it is enough to see the road ahead clearly, as if you have come to a strange white space.
Although this strange and bizarre scene surprised Lei Xiao and his group, they did not relax at all and their pace slowed down significantly.
This is the coronation site of the Gorgon, a sacred place, and there is deathly silence all around.
Given that the other party is good at using conspiracies and tricks, I'm afraid they will set an ambush here.
However, as Lei Xiao and his group walked cautiously, the scene they saw next stunned everyone. (End of this chapter)
