Chapter 850 Crazy Prelude (Part 2)
On the distant horizon, accompanied by the murderous aura in the sky, there were constant earth-shaking muffled sounds.
Boom, boom, boom.
Very rhythmic and exciting.
Even Lei Xiao, who was standing on the city gate tower, could clearly feel the vibration under his feet.
It was the sound of uniform and dense footsteps, which was particularly harsh under the quiet moonlight night. It was like the drumbeat of death, constantly trembling in everyone's heart.
In the blink of an eye, densely packed soldiers, carrying war flags that sounded like war flags, began to slowly appear on the horizon.
As the figures of the soldiers became clearer, there was also a crisp sound of armor clashing in the orderly and heavy footsteps, making the approaching loud noise even more eerie.
Not long after, the broad road ahead was already covered with black soldiers, like an endless torrent of steel, with no end in sight.
The war horses neighed and murderous intent boiled.
The rows of shiny armor and sharp spear points looked extremely dazzling under the silver moonlight.
A biting chill continued to emanate from every opponent's soldier.
It then formed a vast and majestic momentum, like a pair of giant hands strangling the throat, almost suffocating.
Seeing this majestic scene, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the tension in his heart.
Even though he had experienced several large-scale battles, he had never seen such a murderous and spectacular scene.
"Lord, from a scale perspective, all 20 of the enemy's siege legions have arrived."
As the commander-in-chief of Wangxing City's defense, Orr stepped forward, touched Lei Xiao's chest and saluted, "Our magic cannons are all ready."
"As long as the opponent comes into range, let them have a taste of their power and don't hold anything back."
Lei Xiao completely calmed his mind and said with blazing eyes: "This will become their tomb, and we will engrave the word "stupid" on their epitaphs. ”
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the subordinates and soldiers standing around couldn't help but become more excited.
Feeling the exciting atmosphere around him, Lei Xiao's heart was on edge, and there was still an uneasiness reverberating in his heart.
As discussed in the previous meeting, the opponent will definitely not attack the city first, but will choose to find another way to distract our combat power and attention.
However, he has also taken appropriate precautions and will never let the other party succeed easily.
As long as he can rely on the geographical advantage to defend Wangxing City and block all other routes that the other party can find.
When the opponent's front breaks, it's time for us to blow the attack horn.
"Lord, they stopped outside the range of the magic cannon."
Lei Xiao had just raised his eyebrows and thought about this, when a sharp orange-white sound came to Lei Xiao's ears: "The opponent seems to be setting up a defensive formation."
"Set up a defensive formation outside our range?"
Ariel's fair face was full of confusion, and she asked doubtfully: "The range of our magic cannon is obviously higher than that of ordinary magic cannons. Why did the opponent put up a defensive formation out of reach? Could it be that the opponent Think we will take the initiative to attack?”
"Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible. The opponent's camp has four experienced generals from the kingdom. I have already seen the black lion battle flags of the four generals from the kingdom."
Ju Bai tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, frowned and said: "No matter how you think about it, we will never open the city gate to attack in this situation. Therefore, what the other party is worried about is not that we will Take the initiative.”
"So, is the other party brewing some kind of conspiracy to prevent us from forcibly cracking it?"
Lei Xiao stared closely at the rows of enemy heavy infantry under the city that pressed their giant shields into the soil, and nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, fifty or sixty dark and swift figures suddenly jumped into the sky from the opponent's camp and began to circle on guard. Judging from their agile movements, their speed was even comparable to that of Sean and other pterosaur knights.
"Lord, those are the summoned pterodactyl golem puppets!"
After seeing clearly the murderous figures in the sky, Sarah's voice reached Lei Xiao's ears: "In terms of strength, they are all at the third level, and their magic defense is extremely high!"
At this time, a touch of uncontrollable nervousness could be clearly heard in Sarah's clear voice.
It's no wonder, after all, this descendant of the Loren royal family was just an insignificant mercenary not long ago and had never seen a large battlefield.
"Don't worry, these little toys can't shake us one bit."
Lei Xiao gently patted Sarah's shoulder armor, signaling her not to be nervous, and then launched the eight sky guardians he carried into the air.
At the same time, he ordered Sean to lead the team of pterosaur knights hidden in the Songyin Mountains and the other five teams of ownerless pterosaurs.
Although in terms of strength, our air combat strength is not as good as the opponent's, there are still tens of thousands of archers on the city wall armed with third-level longbows and magic arrows, which is enough to prevent these pterodactyl golem puppets from approaching.
"But having said that, these pterodactyl golem puppets that suddenly took off were obviously deployed to counter Sean and other pterodactyl knights."
Lei Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips as he looked at the swift enemy figures that kept hovering in the night sky.
Before this, although he had thought about sending Sean and others to bomb the opponent, he was eventually dissuaded by commanders such as Bert and Orr.
After all, the opponent has already suffered a loss before, and there are an unknown number of fifth-level experts stationed there, and our air power is relatively limited, so it is obviously difficult to exert any effect.
"Lord, look! Two guys in black robes flew out of the opponent's camp!"
Chaoyan blinked his big eyes and said in surprise: "It looks like two large fluttering moths!"
"Watch your wording. This is a battle that determines our life and death. The tension is completely overwhelming, girl."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and watched intently.
Just as Chao Yan said, the two men in black robes had indeed flown out of each other's camp, one on the left and one on the right, suspended in mid-air.
I saw the man in black robe on the left, his entire head covered in a pitch-black hood, and his specific face could not be seen clearly. However, the black magic wings condensed behind him were extremely deep and conspicuous, exuding an extremely dangerous aura. breath.
As for the man in black robe on the right, his magic wings tend to be transparent, and his fully exposed face is wearing the Shura Mask of the Brotherhood that Lei Xiao is very familiar with.
Under the moonlight, the other party's pure white strange mask covered with bloodshot eyes exuded a pale light, which looked particularly dazzling.
But what Lei Xiao focused on was not the pure white strange mask itself, but the number on the mask.
"00003, the third Shura? Judging from the momentum alone, he is indeed better than the Nightmare Knight."
Feeling the cold aura permeating the other party's body, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and looked at another imposing black-robed man: "So, is this the Black Duke?" < br>
"Lord, the strength of the man in black robe No. 3 is at level five and eight stars, while the one next to him is at level five and seven stars."
Jiang Li, who had been protecting Lei Xiao, took a step forward and frowned: "Compared with them, the Nightmare Knights are simply not in the same weight class."
"Jiang Li, are you sure you can defeat the opponent?"
Lei Xiao turned his head slightly and asked immediately.
"Back to the lord, although my subordinate's strength is still at the fifth level and five stars, I have the sixth level staff given by the lord. As long as the opponent's equipment is not as good as my subordinate's, I am sure to defeat one of them."
Jiang Li nodded heavily, with a solemn look on his face: "But this will take some time, because my subordinates don't know exactly what kind of cards the opponent has and what kind of spells he is good at."
"Hearing you say that makes me feel more at ease."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and continued to observe the other party's every move.
Lei Xiao is not only surrounded by Jiang Li, Hu Zhan and Hong Ye, but has also deployed an absolute defensive barrier, so there is no need to worry about the opponent suddenly taking action.
At this moment, the two people on the opposite side suddenly burst out with an extremely vast momentum, like a huge wave, coming crazily towards the city wall.
Suddenly, the entire battlefield was filled with strong winds and murderous intent. Even the air instantly became extremely viscous, causing the strict formation of our soldiers on the city wall to immediately begin to loosen up.
In particular, some of the new recruits who assisted in the defense had never seen such an astonishing momentum. Many of them even felt weak at their feet, shaking and about to sit down on the ground.
However, after all, there are more than 30,000 fully armed soldiers of our side standing on the city wall, and they are all well-trained.
Although they were suddenly at a disadvantage, a uniform and powerful momentum immediately offset the murderous intent from the opponent, allowing the formation to stabilize again.
"Japanese knotweed, Hongye, return the opponent's murderous intention to them in full."
Lei Xiao nodded to the two fifth-level powerhouses beside him and ordered: "The other party is demonstrating and trying to weaken our morale. Naturally, we cannot be at a disadvantage."
Lei Xiao clearly understood that in the previous battle for the eastern region, Huzhang and Hongye had been completely exposed to the opponent's sight, and there was no need to hide.
Although the two of them are inferior to their opponents in terms of strength, they are still fifth-level powerhouses after all, and it is undoubtedly difficult for ordinary soldiers to detect them.
"As you command, Lord."
Huzhang and Hongye took a step forward at the same time, and a majestic momentum swept towards each other, causing the heavy infantry in the opposite front row to become confused.
"Jie Jie Jie, with the strength of this three-legged cat, are you really planning to carry it to death?"
In mid-air, unbridled laughter came from the mask of the man in black robe No. 3.
His exposed turbid pupils were full of anger, and his cold and emotionless voice resounded throughout the sky: "Don't worry, Lord Kong Qing, I won't ask you to surrender, because you will all die tonight. Here!”
Although the Black Duke on the side remained silent, the murderous aura around him became increasingly intense.
"The more incompetent a thing is, the louder it howls. This is true at all."
Lei Xiao made a disdainful snort from his nasal cavity, and his calm voice reached the ears of everyone present.
"Since you plan to destroy yourself, we might as well send you on your last journey."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the soldiers on the city wall cheered again.
“City Lord Kong Qing, it’s time to take advantage of your stubbornness.”
The man in black robe No. 3 sneered, and without saying any more words, he turned around with the Black Duke and returned to the fully prepared defensive formation.
At this time, it can be seen that in addition to the densely formed large shield formation.
There were flashes of light from time to time above the defensive formation, and it seemed that some kind of defensive magic barrier had also been deployed.
Next, something happened that Lei Xiao didn't expect.
Without any warning, colorful lights suddenly flashed in the opponent's defense formation composed of at least 50,000 soldiers.
An extremely large six-pointed star magic circle quickly rose from the ground, causing the surrounding atmosphere to become extremely chaotic.
Almost in the blink of an eye, this giant magic circle with a length of at least 500 meters had already rushed hundreds of meters into the sky and began to spin crazily.
This sudden scene was like the sky being instantly filled with a gorgeous aurora. It was so spectacular and dazzling that Lei Xiao and his subordinates couldn't help but look sideways.
The ordinary soldiers around them opened their mouths even more, looking at the shocking scene above their heads.
At the same time, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.
The energy particles of various systems that were originally extremely active around him began to become thinner and thinner, as if they had been forcibly removed by something.
"Lord, this is the energy driving array!"
Jiang Lei's surprised and shrill voice immediately rang out.
"This tricky magic circle will forcibly remove the magic energy particles from the entire area, greatly weakening the spell power and casting speed of ordinary magicians, including the deployed magic cannon!"
After hearing Jiang Li's explanation, Ju Bai couldn't help but blurt out: "What? Then wouldn't the advantage of our carefully deployed magic cannon be completely offset?"
"This is exactly the opponent's purpose. It seems that the opponent has already noticed the number and range of our magic cannons, and they are obviously superior."
Lei Xiao clenched his fists unconsciously, his eyes becoming more solemn.
The 1,000 magic cannons deployed on the city wall are a major support for him to defend Wangxing City.
If the killing effect and the frequency of firing are greatly reduced, opponents of equally large quantity and quality will undoubtedly be able to rush onto the city wall at a very small cost and start a head-on confrontation with our defenders.
It is conceivable that although this will also affect the other party, it will be a fatal blow to us.
"Jiang Li, is there any way to break this magic circle?"
Lei Xiao asked immediately while being frightened in his heart.
"Back to the lord, the formation eyes of this formation are deliberately dispersed. They are located exactly in the center areas of the five defensive legions. They must be destroyed at the same time."
Jiang Li's starry eyes were full of awe, and she responded: "And this magic circle is obviously cast by a magic scroll, and there are almost no flaws. In other words, unless all five legions are wiped out, there is no possibility of cracking it. Sex.”
"So this is the purpose of the opponent's defensive formation?"
Lei Xiao looked at the black-robed man No. 3 and the black duke suspended below the magic circle, and cold sweat was quietly dripping from his forehead.
However, before Lei Xiao could think of a countermeasure, a series of rapid voice reminders sounded.
After the call was connected, the urgent and panicked voices of the left-behind subordinates from various places reached Lei Xiao's ears one after another.
"For your information, Lord, Luolong City is being attacked by a sudden army!"
"Reporting to the lord, an unknown army is rapidly attacking the territory!"
"For your information, Lord, the Lord's Mansion of Ironforge Castle is under attack!"
"For your information, Lord Lord, the Lord's Mansion of Songluo City is under attack!"
"For your information, Lord, the Lord's Mansion of Fanyin City is under attack!"
……
Before Lei Xiao could react, a dull horn sounded, and the cry of killing resounded through the sky.
The densely packed enemy soldiers below the city all looked ferocious, and they were already rushing towards Wangxing City like a tide, causing the earth to tremble crazily and the momentum was extremely alarming. (End of chapter)
