Chapter 1182 The intensifying prologue
"W-what?"
Seeing another large fortress also fall apart under the attack of the "Fortress", there was an uproar on the walls of Glowing City again.
The contempt on the fat bishop's face suddenly froze. His greasy mouth opened wide, and his chin, which was like a thousand-layer pancake, almost fell to the ground in shock.
You know, these two large fortresses are the gathering of the most advanced city-building techniques of the Temple of Light, which are enough to scare away the army of any country, but they couldn't even hold out against those despicable aliens!
"Bishop Yarlin, shut up from now on."
Gustav glared at the fat bishop with a gloomy face, and then began to boost morale: "Increase the intensity of the attack, the other party is just pretending to be strong."
At Gustav's call, the city wall finally stabilized. However, due to our preemptive strike and the destruction of two large fortresses in succession, an atmosphere of uneasiness quietly spread among the enemy soldiers.
Everyone clearly understood that the thundering methods displayed by Lei Xiao were obviously far beyond the capabilities of a country's royal family.
But in our camp, which was right opposite and close at hand, there was a completely different scene.
Waves of inspiring cheers rang out on the city walls one after another, and the resolute faces covered by masks were filled with excitement.
Feeling the soldiers' morale gradually rising, Lei Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this point, we have successfully cleared two small obstacles according to the predetermined plan, so that the focus of the attack can be placed entirely on the opponent's main city.
As for why the "Fortress" controlled by Louise was also able to successfully blow up large fortresses, it was because just as Louise said, she did equip the "Fortress" with some high-level alchemical bombs.
Among them there is a sixth-order one, a small number of fifth-order ones, and a large number of fourth-order and third-order ones, etc.
The source of these alchemical bombs is naturally the Alchemist Guild.
Under the temptation of his fifth-level magic potion, the opponent took out a fifth-level alchemical bomb in exchange for other low-level ones, and then after his own upgrade, this undoubtedly greatly increased the damage of the "Fortress".
"Although the only sixth-level alchemical bomb has just been consumed, judging from the effect, it is obviously very good."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to pay close attention to the situation on the battlefield.
Under the increasingly fierce counterattack of the opponent's magic artillery fire, the vision of Ice Stone City was also greatly affected, so Lei Xiao also observed through the rows of magic projections summoned by Old Bing.
Since a large number of magic projections are almost in line with everyone's field of vision, there is no obstacle to observation.
On the Twin Cities battlefield filled with dense magical artillery fire and countless spells, another large fortress collapsed under the attack of countless alchemical bombs, raising a cloud of dust.
On the wall of the Glowing City opposite, dense and dense high-altitude flames immediately erupted, pointing directly at the "Fortress" in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a large amount of flames exploded on and around the "Fortress", causing the "Fortress", which was originally flying steadily, to sway from side to side uncontrollably as if it was traveling in a storm.
"The opponent's high-shooting spell is indeed not to be underestimated."
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao frowned slightly.
It can be clearly seen from the magic image that despite being protected by the absolute defense barrier, the "Fortress" has not suffered any substantial damage for the time being.
However, under the influence of continuous attacks from dense anti-aircraft spells, the "Fortress" that was originally preparing to move above the Glowing City was like a boat sailing against the current, constantly affected by the air currents caused by the violent explosions, and it was simply difficult to move.
"If we continue like this, it will be futile. Not only will Louise's magic power be exhausted quickly, but the Fortress will also be shot down by the enemy. When the enemy becomes more confused, it won't be too late to launch the Fortress again."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately nodded to Catherine and ordered: "Let Louise come back first. Her mission has been completed. The enemy's firepower is currently strong. The "Fortress" hovering alone will only become a moving target."
"Understood, Your Highness."
Catherine obviously agreed with Lei Xiao's point of view. She immediately touched her ear with one hand and started magical communication.
Not long after, the "Fortress" turned around at high speed until it was covered by the illusion again and disappeared in the black fog filled with gunpowder.
"Those damn guys, their firepower is even more fierce than I imagined!"
Louise soon reappeared beside Lei Xiao, puffed up her fair cheeks and said, "I wish I could blow them all up to the sky!"
Although her voice was immediately drowned out by the deafening sound of magical artillery fire from both sides, Lei Xiao was able to quickly distinguish the content of the voice with his already extraordinary hearing.
"Don't worry, our goal has been achieved, and the other party must have been greatly shocked."
Lei Xiao smiled at Louise and said, "It won't be long before the Fortress will be airborne again, and then the enemy city will be broken."
"I can't wait any longer."
Louise first swallowed an energy recovery potion, then asked, "What should we do next?"
As soon as Louise said this, the other generals on our side who were on standby also gathered around.
I saw that many people's faces were full of anxiety and uneasiness, obviously worried that we would not be able to stop the other party's mysterious dark plan in time.
"Old Bing has already sensed it in detail. There is a very ominous mysterious energy fluctuation in the city, which is very similar to some kind of forbidden magic circle. I am afraid that this is a sign that the other party's so-called "sacred plan" is being implemented."
Lei Xiao saw the generals' concerns at a glance and nodded, "However, this mysterious energy fluctuation has not yet reached its peak, which means that we still have some time."
"In addition, when this large-scale forbidden magic array reaches a certain stage, it must be led by a leader in person. In other words, the mysterious being cannot be free to personally fight. These are our opportunities."
Lei Xiao's voice revealed a bit of solemnity, and he added: "As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Now it's time for both sides to fight for the next move. There must be no negligence. We must accurately command every soldier. Please return to your command positions and proceed according to the plan."
"As you command, Your Highness the Prince!"
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, the generals saluted with their hands on their chests and then dispersed along the long city wall.
Looking at the backs of the generals as they left, Lei Xiao nodded to the main force beside him, including Bing Lao, Louise, Catherine, Jiang Xi, Wu, etc.
The strong men understood, and they moved and flew out one after another, and soon arrived in front of two very special battle formations.
Lei Xiao stopped and looked towards the square formation on the left.
Standing in the front row was a phalanx of powerful magicians led by Randall, Gars, Chaoyan, Lina, Ye Cang and other subordinates.
Following them are the fourth-level non-commander strongmen selected from the Cold Flame Kingdom, Grimm Kingdom, Verdant Kingdom and Iron Hand Islands.
Among them, there are not only the nobles and elites of various countries, but also the strong men from neutral organizations such as the "Trace Adventurer Guild", "Lightning Magic Gathering", "Mirror Witch Society", and "Wanderer Alliance".
As Lei Xiao's power and territory expanded, some small and medium-sized neutral organizations also joined Lei Xiao's army, becoming a force that could not be ignored.
This battle formation, composed entirely of fourth-level magic-type warriors, has more than a hundred people. In addition, Lei Xiao is equipped with a full set of fifth-level equipment and various high-level magic potions, which has reached an extremely impressive level.
On the right side of Lei Xiao, standing in the front is a formation of fourth-order physical strongmen headed by Lian, Nanxing, Nanyue, Gail, and Fang Hai, with a size of more than a hundred people.
Although not all of these physical warriors are archers, crossbowmen, javelin throwers and other professions that are good at long-range combat, Lei Xiao still equipped them all with fifth-level long-range weapons or fourth-level or above throwing weapons, high-level potions, magic scrolls and other items according to their personal specialties.
After Lei Xiao's cost-effective construction, the combat effectiveness of these two fourth-order squadrons has undoubtedly reached an extremely impressive level.
After examining the two fourth-level squadrons, Lei Xiao's gaze moved and fell on the strong men standing behind him.
In addition to Bing Lao, Louise, Catherine, Jiang Yu and Wuwei, Tiger Stick, Hong Ye, Qiduo, Cecilia, Barnett, Alger, and the other three blood princes and other fifth-level strongmen are all present, ready to go.
At this point, Lei Xiao’s next move is very clear.
In addition to comprehensive magic bombardment and magic scroll attacks, high-level forces were gathered to attack one point, trying to directly create a hole in the opponent's absolute defense barrier.
"Although the Cold Flame Kings, Shirley, the White Knights and others are trapped in the enemy camp, causing a considerable loss of my top combat power, this deployment is enough to make up for the missing combat power to the greatest extent."
As Lei Xiao thought this, energy surged around him. He waved his hand at the warriors and said, "Everyone, we are the key to this battle. We must break the opponent's absolute defense barrier and the hypocritical mask they wear on their faces!"
After saying that, Lei Xiao held a magic staff in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, and guided a sharp thunderbolt towards the opponent's city.
A loud rumbling sound followed, and the dazzling lightning broke through the thick fog and smoke and exploded directly on the opponent's absolute defense barrier.
The scattered lightning quickly formed the outline of a giant circle, just like a marking bomb, guiding the target for other strong men.
"All the ice returns to one!"
Bing Lao followed closely behind, and thousands of crystal ice spears emitting cold air instantly condensed and formed above the Ice Stone City, and then shot towards the location marked by Lei Xiao with an overwhelming force.
For a moment, even Lei Xiao, who was standing next to Bing Lao, felt that the temperature on the battlefield dropped a lot in an instant, and the momentum was extremely shocking.
After being bombarded with all-out force by tens of thousands of ice spears, countless ice chips were scattered everywhere, and the opponent's thick absolute defense barrier became noticeably dimmer, but soon returned to normal.
"An absolute defense barrier that can withstand the attacks of ten sixth-level warriors is indeed something, but I want to see if you can withstand a few rounds of bombardment from all my top combat forces."
Lei Xiao's face remained calm as he watched carefully the changes in the opponent's absolute defense barrier.
After Bing Lao finished casting the spell, he entered the chanting stage again, and Louise, Catherine, the three blood princes and other blood clan strongmen immediately joined in, causing row after row of giant scarlet magic balls flashing with dark light to shoot out and continuously bombard the opponent's barrier wall.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xi and Hong Ye's signature large-scale attack spells were cast one after another. The sky was filled with flames and the space was distorted, causing the opponent's barrier wall to emit a buzzing sound again and again.
The attacks of the main magic-type warriors have not stopped yet, and the main physical-type warriors such as Tiger Stick have already bulged their muscles, and are either drawing their bows and arrows, or raising their javelins and throwing axes, once again setting off waves of fierce attack storms.
With the blessing of vast energy, although it was a physical attack, no matter it was an arrow, a javelin or a thrown axe, they were all wrapped in rich energy, drawing one dazzling meteor-like trajectory after another in the air, and finally hitting the position designated by Lei Xiao accurately.
After the fifth-level warriors finished their attack, the two fourth-level squadrons that were ready to go also took a step forward. The shining magic power and sharp long-range weapons were overwhelming, like a torrential rain, and all poured down on the opponent's defensive barrier.
For a moment, the loud chants of our magic warriors and the low roars of our physical warriors throwing their weapons echoed on the city wall one after another, even drowning out the constant roar of magic artillery fire around them, causing the hearts of other our soldiers around to tremble.
Such a powerful group attack is enough to easily destroy dozens of fully armed heavy armored legions in an instant!
Under Lei Xiao's command, after our sudden concentrated fire attack, it can be clearly observed from the magic projection alone that the opponent's absolute defense barrier has become dimmer again.
Especially in the area that was under concentrated fire, there were some faint cracks appearing, making it look much thinner.
"Sir, the attack of that despicable alien was too concentrated, causing heavy losses to several surrounding magic towers."
On the wall of Glowing City, a middle-aged priest in a white robe crawled to Gustav's feet and said in a panic, "We can't hold on any longer!"
As soon as the white-robed priest said this, it instantly caused quite a stir among the surrounding enemy troops.
As they were standing on the front line, they were naturally most aware of the fierceness of Lei Xiao's attack.
Although there was an absolute defensive barrier, the city walls shook with every wave of attack, and even the solid bricks on the ground were slightly loosened.
"You bastards, you are just a bunch of despicable shrimp soldiers and crab generals, stop spreading rumors here to confuse the public!"
Although Gustav was also a little overwhelmed, he still kicked the frightened middle-aged priest in white robe away.
Just as Gustav's gloomy and cloudy eyes turned, thinking about the next countermeasures.
The indifferent voice of the mysterious existence suddenly rang in his mind.
