Chapter 859: Gunsmoke under Luolong City (Part 2)
As soon as the sudden vast black shadow appeared, the surrounding energy fluctuated wildly.
The majestic momentum stirred up the air, causing a biting wind to spread immediately, like a tornado rising suddenly, causing dust to fly.
In just an instant, hundreds of black light balls exuding a dangerous aura appeared in front of the vast black shadow.
Then with a wave of the vast black shadow's big hand, it roared straight towards Jiang Li's slender body.
As hundreds of deadly black balls shot out at once, the entire scene suddenly became filled with murderous intent and became extremely dangerous.
At this point, the purpose of the vast black shadow has become very clear.
It was precisely to prevent Jiang Li from attacking the orc leader and to put Jiang Li to death.
"Who?!"
Feeling the cold murderous intent rushing towards her face, Jiang Li's starry eyes froze, and she reacted very quickly, and immediately stopped casting spells on the orc leader.
Facing this guy with malicious intentions, Jiang Li, who had a cold expression on his face, immediately launched a counterattack without hesitation.
Compared with the black ball that needs to fly, the space spell that explodes directly at the target location will undoubtedly be faster.
With a wave of the staff in Jiang Li's hand, the space around the vast black shadow suddenly became distorted and became extremely illusory.
At the same time, Jiang Li's slender figure had already flashed to the other side of the opponent, easily dodging the opponent's overwhelming black ball attack.
"The fifth-level five-star, is he really a space mage? I didn't expect that there is actually a third fifth-level strongman under the command of Lord Kong Qing. He is really well hidden."
A low, hoarse and calm voice came from the black robe of the vast black shadow.
Although the vast black shadow's attack was dodged by Jiang Li, judging from its maneuverable posture, Jiang Li's space distortion was also ineffective.
"How dare you disturb the lord's plan? You can never leave intact!"
Jiang Li ignored the other party's whisper, gave a cold shout, and began to use more powerful space tearing again.
The vast black shadow also sneered, and was suddenly surrounded by countless strange black balls, calmly approaching it.
At this point, two strong men at the national level who were at the fifth level of senior level or above, armed with vast power, had a fierce confrontation.
After seeing this unexpected scene, Lei Xiao, who had been secretly observing the battle, couldn't help but frown slightly.
Judging from the momentum, this guy is obviously stronger than Jiang Li, and he does not wear the iconic mask of the Black Abyss Brotherhood.
Coupled with the scene he saw in Wangxing City not long ago and the information he had previously obtained.
From this, the identity of the vast black shadow could not be clearer.
"The Black Duke of the eldest prince's faction? I didn't expect that he, who should be on the front line of Wangxing City, would suddenly come here."
"It seems that my actions to quickly calm down the chaos everywhere have aroused the other party's alert."
Lei Xiao completely determined the identity of his opponent at the first moment, and his brows began to furrow even more.
In any case, with the other party's joining, this undoubtedly means that his plan to kill the orc leader first can only be put on hold temporarily.
Of course, there is another way that can theoretically kill the orc leader, and that is to make the knotweed go crazy.
However, after going crazy, the tiger stick will completely lose its mind and will no longer obey its own orders, which is undoubtedly fatal.
After all, the situation here is completely different from the situation when the man in black robe No. 7 was killed in Kongqing Town, and there were nearly 80,000 orc soldiers around.
In this case, even if the tiger stick forcibly kills the orc leader, he will continue to attack other orc soldiers indiscriminately until he dies from exhaustion.
No matter how powerful the knotweed is, it is impossible to completely destroy such a large number of orc soldiers. When the madness time is over and the strength of the knotweed is greatly weakened, the result will naturally be self-evident.
Therefore, no matter how you think about it, exchanging the life of the knotweed for the life of the orc leader is not a wise choice.
At the same time, the knotweed that is completely out of control will also greatly affect its subsequent troop formation, which will make the plan to retreat the orc army more difficult.
After all, his strategic purpose is not to completely eliminate these 100,000 orcs, but to cut off their hands and feet and force the opponent to retreat.
As you can imagine, time is limited.
Even if he could find a way to completely eliminate these 100,000 orcs, Wangxing City on the other side had already been breached, which undoubtedly played into the opponent's plan of forcing him to divide his forces.
By then, he will still have only one way to die.
"Then what I have to do is very simple."
Lei Xiao looked at the Loren heavy cavalry that was aggressively attacking the Orcs' long-range legions. His frowns relaxed again and he gave orders to the two fifth-level powerhouses under his command.
"Jiangwei, Huzhang, lead your opponents to other places as much as possible, and I will take advantage of this period to greatly weaken the most important siege force of the orcs. As long as the opponent completely loses their siege ability, they will be defeated. Return.”
"As for these orcs who took advantage of the situation, when I free my hands, I will completely wipe them out of the outside world."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he continued to pay close attention to the development of the battle situation.
Under the heavy iron hooves of Loren's heavy cavalry and ice knights, the orcs' long-range power of the two legions had been defeated, but there was still some time left before they were completely eliminated.
However, after Xiao Zhao's perfect control, everything was going very smoothly.
As for the six half-orc legions that rushed back for reinforcements, our horse archer legion, half-elf wolf cavalry squadron, and the magic cannon controlled by Ariel and Sarah are still taking advantage of the opportunity to continuously output, weakening and delaying the opponent. Return time.
At the same time, Lei Xiao, who was hidden under the invisibility cloak, controlled the ice knight to harvest while quietly making some small movements.
However, although Lei Xiao has been fully commanding and deploying, the situation on the battlefield is still treacherous and the future is still unclear.
“Although I don’t know who you are, thank you for your help!”
The orc leader quickly understood the crisis situation just now, and while swinging a hammer at the knotweed, he spoke to the Black Duke.
At this point, it can be clearly seen.
Although he had saved his life, the orc leader was not happy about surviving the disaster, but had a look of despair on his face.
Because he was watching with his own eyes the two battle-hardened long-range legions under his command, which were rapidly dying, but there was nothing he could do.
The burly human race man in front of him was so brave that he had no time to separate himself.
This sense of powerlessness and frustration rising from his heart almost suffocated him. He even regretted provoking that despicable human race.
"You're welcome, it's all just for victory."
The dark face of the Black Duke hidden under the hood was full of helplessness, and he responded lightly.
Originally, according to his previous plan, the Black Duke was prepared to wait and see what would happen instead of taking action himself.
After all, the Black Duke clearly understood that he still needed to preserve his strength in order to deal with the sudden attack of the man in black robe No. 3 after eliminating the Lord Kong Qing and the fifth princess.
However, judging from the current situation, if I don't take action, let alone deal with the man in black robe No. 3 afterwards, I am afraid that even the Lord Kongqing City may not be able to defeat him.
"I have to say that this Kongqing City Lord is much more difficult to deal with than I imagined."
"Every decision he makes is a carefully considered choice. It will not only minimize losses, but also kill the opponent to the maximum extent."
"The most important thing is that he takes the overall situation into consideration at every step and is not confused by the local battle situation... This person is really too dangerous."
"So, just in case, I have no choice but to take action myself. I just need to hold off this space powerhouse, and then let the orc army attack Luolong City."
"Of course, if we can find traces of Lord Nakong Qing on the battlefield, it would be great to kill him directly."
Facing Jiang Li's ubiquitous space tear, the Black Duke's figure exuding vast aura was erratic. One second he was still suspended in the void, and the next second he fell to the ground. He looked quite at ease.
After a moment, the Black Duke added to the Orc leader: "As long as you can destroy this heavy cavalry puppet army, everything will turn around."
"Don't worry, there are swamp traps all around, and my leader's six legions will be back soon. As long as the encirclement is completed, this heavy cavalry that has lost its mobility will be no different from a frost sheep waiting to be slaughtered."
The orc leader sneered and swung another sharp blow at the tiger stick, but the latter easily dodged it.
"The lord is truly astonished!"
On the wall of Luolong City, Hongshi looked at the two half-orc long-range legions who were defeated like a mountain under the wall, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
As long as this force is eliminated, it is equivalent to eliminating at least 70% of the opponent's long-range combat power.
By then, the opponent will not have any long-range advantage when attacking the city.
"However, the situation seems to be a little bad."
Hongshi frowned as he watched from a distance that the six legions who had been mobilized away from the mountain were merging in twos and twos, trying to quickly block the mouths of the swamps on the left, back and right.
If the opponent is really allowed to complete the encirclement, then the lord's heavy cavalry legion will be extremely dangerous.
After all, the range in the swamp trap is limited, and in order to eliminate the long-range legion, the speed of the cavalry has been greatly slowed down.
When surrounded by opponents, it is almost impossible to break out of this swamp trap with limited charging distance.
Once the opponent eliminates the heavy cavalry, Luolong City may still be in danger.
What's more, a mysterious fifth-level helper appeared in the opponent's camp.
Thinking of this, Hong Shi's dark green face couldn't help but show a hint of solemnity and nervousness.
"Hahaha, let me, my leader, quickly block the mouths of the three swamps. I, my leader, want to catch these heavy cavalry in a jar!"
While dealing with the sharp slashes of the tiger stick, the orc leader became arrogant again.
Although the two long-range legions under his command were no longer safe, just as the black-robed supporter said, he could still forcefully attack Luolong City with his remaining strength!
"Orc, do you think I will let your little plan succeed?"
Facing the situation that couldn't be clearer, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and just continued to order Xiao Zhao to attack the remaining defeated soldiers of the two long-range legions, not in a hurry to get out of trouble.
"Are you still not planning to escape? Your heavy cavalry will definitely die this time!"
The smile on the rough face of the orc leader became even bigger, and he shouted arrogantly: "Humans, when all your heavy cavalry are wiped out, it will be your turn next!"
Just when the Orc leader finished speaking, six returning Orc legions had arrived in front of the three swamp mouths on the left, back and right.
But then, something unexpected happened to the orc leader again.
Except for the swamp passage on the left where some remaining soldiers were originally stationed, the orcs in the front row who rushed to the right and rear swamp mouths all screamed and fell into it.
By now, the situation is obvious.
The mouths of the swamps that were originally walkable in these two places have long since disappeared, and like the surrounding areas, they have all turned into a muddy swamp trap.
Needless to say, these are the little tricks Lei Xiao quietly did just now.
Use the corresponding water magic scroll to transform the flat land into a swamp trap.
In this way, the connected swamp trap temporarily blocked the opponent's four legions.
Of course, it's not just that.
"So what if you blocked my leader's steps? You also blocked your own escape route! Stupid human race!"
The orc leader was startled for a moment, and then he laughed wildly again.
Since the mouth of the swamp on the left is still there, as long as we concentrate our forces to block it, our opponent will still be a turtle in the urn!
After finishing speaking, the orc leader shouted loudly again and moved the two legions that were blocked from the rear to the mouth of the swamp on the left.
After a while, four exhausted orc legions, withstanding the arrow rain and magic artillery fire of the archers, completely occupied the only swamp mouth on the left, and then slowly approached.
The heavy cavalry legion under Lei Xiao's command has also wiped out the two orc long-range legions in front of them.
"It's time to get out of the swamp trap's range."
Seeing that the time had come, Lei Xiao gave Xiao Zhao the order to retreat.
"Idiot, the only way out of here has been completely blocked by this leader. Let's see where you retreat!"
Seeing that the heavy cavalry began to turn their horses, the Orc leader sneered and immediately ordered the four legions on the left and the two already frightened legions under the city to encircle Lei Xiao's heavy cavalry.
The heavy cavalry under Lei Xiao's command actually bypassed the encircling front of the six orc legions and galloped straight towards the area on the right that was completely covered by swamp traps.
"He is indeed a stupid guy. The cumbersome heavy cavalry will surely die if it falls into the swamp!"
Upon seeing this, the smile on the orc leader's rough face became even thicker, as if he had seen the tragic scene of the heavy cavalry under Lei Xiao's command struggling to sink in the swamp trap.
But not long after, something unexpected happened again that made the orc leader stunned. (End of chapter)
