Chapter 854: Turbulent Situation (Part 1)
Facing the black-robed man No. 10 who was attacking at speed, Theresa's fair face, dressed in a slim gray robe, froze. In an instant, she melted into the shadow of a tree beside her and disappeared without a trace.
"Watch where you hide!"
Seeing Theresa disappearing into the shadows, the man in black robe No. 10 sneered, the cold light flashed from both swords in his hands, and he swung out two majestic sword auras visible to the naked eye.
Wherever the rapidly passing giant sword light struck, the ground cracked and flowers and trees were broken, causing two intersecting deep ravine cuts to appear on the ground where the tree shadows were.
For a moment, strong winds blew up and rocks flew. The scene was extremely shocking.
The man in black robe No. 10 clearly understood that as a shadow mage, Theresa, although she could avoid attacks or move quickly through her shadow, once the hidden shadow was attacked, it would also affect her body and even cause fatal damage.
In other words, for shadow magicians, although the shadow is the greatest advantage, it is also the greatest weakness. If the shadow where the body is traveling is attacked, the consequences will naturally be self-evident.
Therefore, as long as you attack at the right time, Theresa will definitely die even if she escapes into the shadows!
However, the man in black robe No. 10 obviously underestimated Theresa's movement speed. Just when the sword energy was just slashing towards the ground, Theresa had already reappeared behind him.
A large amount of magic particles surged and quickly gathered around Teresa's slender body.
As the Moon Palace Saint waved her fair arm holding the pitch-black staff, hundreds of shadow arrows condensed out of thin air, instantly forming a giant arrow curtain filled with death, roaring towards the black-robed man No. 10. And go.
"Little trick!"
Facing the roaring death threat, the man in black robe No. 10, who could not succeed in a single attack, was not anxious or annoyed, and once again raised a disdainful sneer at the corner of his mouth.
I saw him shouting violently, and the energy fortress surrounding him became more intense. Instead of evading, he turned into a meteor and faced it directly with his sword.
Although the attack range of the shadow arrow screen is wide, the attack power of each shadow arrow is extremely limited. As long as he takes the initiative to break through at one point, this kind of childish attack will naturally be useless to him.
As long as he can break through the arrow screen and successfully approach Teresa, then this Saint of the Moon Palace, who is not good at close combat, will naturally be no different from the fish on the chopping board and must be cut into pieces!
It was too late, but it was so fast. At the moment when the confident man in black robe No. 10 successfully broke through the arrow screen without any accident.
Something happened.
At some point, a magic net made of black iron chains appeared in front of the man in black robe No. 10, apparently waiting for him to fall into the trap.
"Scheming scum!"
With no other choice, the man in black robe No. 10 had no choice but to grit his teeth and forcefully turn to avoid the coverage of the big net.
Just when he was forced to slow down due to the turn, the shadow arrows that formed the arrow screen all changed directions in mid-air and shot towards his back.
Due to the great decrease in speed, although the man in black robe No. 10 tried his best to avoid, dozens of shadow arrows roared towards him and exploded around his energy fortress.
boom! boom! boom!
Violent explosions shook the air wantonly, making the scene turbulent and full of dangers.
Not long after, when the man in black robe No. 10 finally distanced himself and stopped, it was obvious.
Although the Shadow Arrow still failed to break through his defense, it made him quite embarrassed and he could not stop breathing violently in his chest.
Theresa, on the other hand, still stood peacefully in place, with a slightly charming and calm posture, fully displaying the elegance of the elves.
At this point, the result of the first round of confrontation between the two sides is self-evident. It is obvious that Teresa has the upper hand.
"Saint of the Moon Palace, you must die tonight!"
The man in black robe No. 10 was furious, his aura increased instead of decreasing, and he shot towards Teresa again.
Judging from the strength on paper, although both of them are fifth-level one-stars and have just entered the palace of fifth-level strong men, they are almost equally matched.
But Teresa is a magician after all. Even with the special power of shadow, she is still in a very bad situation when facing the super fast man in black robe No. 10.
"Your Excellency, please leave this place entirely to me."
Facing the opponent who roared like thunder, Theresa did not dare to be careless at all, her starry eyes were full of solemnity.
"I hope you can lead your subordinates to shine in other areas and let the seeds of victory grow strong, even though this is destined to be an arduous life-and-death battle."
……
The center of Velen City, the city wall area outside the city lord's palace.
The cold moon in the sky reflected a scorching scene of fierce battle.
On this not-high city wall, there were longing figures, sword blades and blood intertwined, and shouts of death and screams kept coming.
I saw the guards of the city lord's palace in armor fighting to the death with a group of elite opponents in black armor.
From time to time, one can see stiff corpses falling down, kicking up a cloud of bloody dust.
However, it can be clearly seen from the almost one-sided battle situation.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion suffered heavy losses and were retreating steadily. They were no match for the black-armored attackers.
"Brave soldiers, we will fight to the end for your lord guest and for your highness the princess!"
Among the people fighting fiercely, Kerr held a long sword and pierced a charging black-armored soldier while shouting: "We must not let these guys attack the city lord's palace!"
After hearing Kerr's cry, despite being at an absolute disadvantage, the remaining soldiers were still filled with fighting spirit and roared towards the opponents in front of them.
"Jie Jie Jie, is this guy the commander here?"
A strong man from the Brotherhood, whose strength was at the peak of the third level, floated silently behind Kerr. A row of blazing fireballs were rapidly expanding around the deadwood staff in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, huge fireballs were completely condensed and formed. The rising flames reflected a strange and white Brotherhood mask, with the number 000167 on it particularly conspicuous.
But Kerr, who was unconscious, was still taking the lead, fighting with several black-armored soldiers.
This subordinate, who had recently joined the territory, clearly understood.
The lord once personally saved his life and fortune, and gave him equipment and honors that were difficult to achieve in his life. Such kindness would undoubtedly be hard to repay even if he died!
"The mantis is blocking the car, so go to hell!"
Seeing that the time had come, No. 167 raised the corners of his mouth slightly and waved his staff violently. The huge fireballs were like a series of cannons, whizzing straight towards Kerr not far away.
But when Kerr sensed the danger, he was completely entangled by several black-armored soldiers with evil smiles in front of him, unable to escape at all.
Seeing this, No. 167's smile hidden behind the mask became even stronger. As long as this guy was dealt with, the attack on the city lord's mansion would be smooth.
Although among their group of brotherhood members, there is no fourth-level strong man to lead the team, he is at the peak of third-level, and it is more than enough to capture the city!
Just when No. 167 was satisfied, something unexpected happened.
I saw a slender figure wearing a pointed witch hat, with crimson magic wings trembling behind her.
With a speed that is incomprehensible to ordinary people, he quickly blocked behind Kerr. With a slight wave of his hand, all the fireballs that came from him disappeared immediately, without even a trace of smoke coming out.
Under the pointed witch hat, a fair and translucent delicate face emerged, which was particularly conspicuous under the moonlit night.
"Miss Chaoyan?!"
After seeing clearly the person who had blocked the fatal blow for him, Kerr, who had survived the disaster, was so surprised and happy that he couldn't help but blurt out.
"That's right, it's the powerful sister Chaoyan who is here to save you!"
Chaoyan put his hands on his hips and straightened his chest, his starry eyes full of uncontrollable fighting spirit.
Before this, as a great fire magician, I had never had the chance to show off my skills under the protection of Senior Hongye.
This time, Senior Hongye was not present due to his duties, so he could finally help the lord by himself!
...Although the lord was also not present.
"Just a little girl with yellow hair, how dare you ruin my good deeds!"
The aura on the battlefield was extremely chaotic. No. 167 obviously did not realize Chaoyan's true strength. He just heard him shout loudly, and dozens of flame spears condensed in an instant, and they all shot towards Chaoyan.
"You don't have the ability to play with fire in front of me!"
The staff in Chaoyan's hand shone brightly, and a roaring fire dragon rushed out.
Wherever the blazing magical fire dragon went, it not only devoured many of the opponent's guns, but also did not even drop the No. 167 body, directly burning it into nothingness.
Upon seeing this, Kerr and the remaining castle defenders immediately cheered.
But the other Brotherhood powerhouses and black-armored soldiers who were constantly approaching had expressions of fear on their faces.
The strength of a character who can kill a third-level peak powerhouse with one strike is self-evident.
They are just one of many small teams, with only a few dozen in number, but no fourth-level powerhouse can compete with this terrifying crazy girl!
"Let you see how powerful I am!"
Facing those opponents who looked frightened, Chaoyan grinned, and with the wave of his staff, the magic circle formed quickly.
Countless flaming arrows "swish" fell from the sky, accurately hitting every trembling opponent around them.
Then, Chao Yan bore the brunt.
Kerr and others effortlessly cleared away the enemies who had stormed the city wall, and then joined forces with other dispersed troops to quickly completely pacify the city of Velen.
"Easy!"
When all the dust settled, Chaoyan nodded with satisfaction, immediately connected to Lei Xiao's words, and said excitedly: "I would like to inform the lord, one of the subordinates of Weilun City has completely taken care of it. Please send Jiang. Sister Wei, come and pick me up!”
"Nice, good job."
Lei Xiao's slightly tired voice soon came over.
"Now Jiang Li has been held back by an unexpected opponent and cannot escape at the moment. Let's go directly to support Kongqing Town. The orcs from the five legions are divided into two groups and have launched attacks on Kongqing Town and the territory respectively. Onslaught.”
At this point, Lei Xiao stopped talking, and Chaoyan's excited little face suddenly became solemn.
Although the Lord's voice was still calm, she could still feel that the situation was obviously not as smooth as she imagined.
……
An hour ago, at the foot of Wangxing City.
The extremely fierce fighting was still going on, with the thundering sound of artillery fire and the continuous screams resounding in the sky.
Thousands of soldier corpses were scattered under the city wall, and the rising pungent burning smell mixed with the rich smell of blood made it almost impossible to breathe.
The man in black robe No. 3 looked at the fierce battle ahead with an expressionless face, but his heart became more and more doubtful.
Just now, he had noticed one after another that five elite forces had completely lost contact.
This undoubtedly means that the response of Nakong Qing City Lord was extremely rapid. It only took half an hour to calm down the smoke in five cities.
"According to common sense, even if a fifth-level powerhouse is galloping at full speed, it will never be so fast!"
The sinister face of the man in black robe No. 3 was hidden behind the mask, and a murderous intention emerged as he murmured to himself: "That guy must have mastered some kind of teleportation method, so that he can move quickly among many cities! ”
"I think so too, and the person who plays a role in it is most likely a fifth-level space powerhouse, otherwise it would never be possible to achieve such a convenient instantaneous teleportation."
The Black Duke nodded firmly, and then suggested: "How about letting me check it out? If necessary, I will take action myself."
The Black Duke, who was not familiar with the man in black robe No. 3, made such a suggestion, not just for the sake of the overall situation.
Because the Black Duke, who represents the eldest prince, clearly understands.
Most of the elite forces that sneaked into various cities were led by men in black robes wearing strange masks.
In this case, once the Lord of Kong Qing City is eliminated, these dominant forces of the Second Prince will definitely take action against their own side.
Therefore, just in case, on the one hand, I tried to use the hands of Lord Kong Qing to balance the weaker strength on my side.
On the other hand, it is to stay away from this main battlefield and conserve as much energy as possible.
Otherwise, when the general attack is launched later, if Wangxing City desperately resists, its own strength will be greatly weakened.
After all, the two fifth-level powerhouses under the opponent's command are not fuel-efficient lamps. Even if I can kill them, I will still suffer a lot of consumption.
As for the strong man in the space system who doesn't know whether he exists or not, even if he meets him, he only needs to hold him back.
It just so happens that his own ability will greatly restrain his opponents who are good at using space power.
Of course, I will not completely abandon this main battlefield and let the man in black robe No. 3 do whatever he wants alone, nor will I let the Lord of Kongqing City resist for too long.
Because he still holds two powerful trump cards that have not yet been used, and he is in a state of preparation.
Thinking of this, a faint and sinister smile appeared on the Black Duke's face hidden in the hood.
"Oh? Since you are willing to go, that would be great."
Hearing this, the man in black robe No. 3 immediately agreed to the other party's proposal.
As for the Black Duke's little plan, the cunning man in black robe No. 3 is naturally well aware of it.
However, in addition to the Orc army that had already joined the army at the beginning, and the Tenth Shura who had temporarily cut off contact, the man in black robe No. 3 also held two very good trump cards in his hand.
Whether it is to deal with the Lord of Kong Qing City or to deal with the Black Duke later, it is more than enough.
Therefore, it is a perfect thing to let the Black Duke deal with the third fifth-level powerhouse that may appear.
At this point, the Black Duke, who had his own sinister thoughts and whose strength was at the fifth level and seven stars, left quietly and disappeared in an instant. (End of chapter)
