Chapter 1375 Desperate situation and turning point
Magical light shooting from all directions continued to explode, almost reflecting the entire Wangying Canyon like daylight. Sharp arrows pierced the sky and poured into the canyon.
The crackling sounds of magic artillery fire and the sound of arrows piercing the air came one after another in the canyon. The waves of explosions were as dense as rain falling on the lake, which was shocking to the world.
However, even though the momentum of such an offensive was extremely shocking, the generals of the tauren and troll armies covered by the absolute defensive barrier all looked extremely calm.
After the wood fairies used fortification techniques to completely block the intersection of the canyon, the enemy army simply stopped advancing and began to counterattack our besieging army under the protection of the absolute defense barrier. It was obviously that they were holding on. Waiting for reinforcements, waiting for the arrival of the undead army.
"Hahaha, dragon-faced people, flower flying insects, wood flying insects, tree people, dwarfs, and the most ridiculous human ants are all a bunch of incompetent trash. They actually try to destroy us. They are really setting themselves on fire. Do your best!”
In the camp of the troll army, a tall troll general with disdain written all over his rough blue face was laughing crazily and unscrupulously, not afraid of the magic artillery fire exploding outside the barrier wall above his head.
He is the boss of the Troll Tribe Alliance and the leader of the Bone Erosion Tribe, Rick.
Among the five major tribes in the Troll Tribe Alliance, the Bone Erosion Tribe is the most ferocious, and now its leader is the leader of the alliance, which shows.
"The leader is right, we have the enchantment crystal provided by the Lich, which contains the necromantic secret method that greatly enhances the absolute defense enchantment, and it exactly matches the absolute defense enchantment of our Bone Corrosion Tribe. , after all, the root of both is the power of taboo, but we have done it more covertly.”
A skinny troll general with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks took a step forward, nodded and bowed in agreement: "A war just ended not long ago, which made the surrounding area full of death aura. As long as these auras have not dissipated, the trash around them can't be defeated. The absolute defensive barrier we are waiting for!”
"That's right. Thanks to the leader's foresight and cooperation with the lichs in advance and using them as reinforcements, we are able to do so with ease. The leader is simply the light of the trolls like us!"
Another burly troll general was not to be outdone, and flattered him: "As long as there is a wise leader, the ancient mine will be ours sooner or later. How can it be the turn of ants like the human race to get involved! ”
"That's natural. How can I, the leader, stumble with such a trap?"
Ricky's rough and ugly blue face looked extremely proud, with a look of contempt on his face.
Although these troll generals said it so lightly, it was actually not the case.
At the beginning, the tauren and troll armies were deceived by us and thought they had an opportunity, and indeed they fell into the trap that we had already set.
However, the opponent's undead reinforcements and the suddenly strong absolute defense barrier were beyond our expectations, and this is why the current situation emerged.
"The leader is mighty! The leader is mighty!"
Amidst the compliments from all the troll generals, Ricky's face was filled with an expression of satisfaction, but it soon turned gloomy.
As the supreme commander of the trolls, he naturally clearly understands that whether it is the trap set by the Dragonborn and us, or the dwarves, tree men, wood elves and flower elves who are allied together, there must be a certain influence in it. The power mediates in the middle, and only then can we achieve this step.
Otherwise, how could the dwarves, treants, and wood elves, who have always been wary of each other, be able to drive away the giant dragon entrenched nearby and then get involved in the ancient mine?
Not only that, during the siege of the Flower Fairy not long ago, the land of the gods that suddenly appeared had appeared many times in the human world, and its owner was naturally self-evident.
In other words, it was precisely because of the appearance of the human emperor that not only caused the troll army to suffer the previous disastrous defeat, but also caused the troll army to gain so many opponents!
"It's just a side dish I've been waiting for, and you're so arrogant!"
The rough blue face of the Rick-loving man was full of anger, and he said with a ferocious expression: "When we join the undead army, we will first eradicate the surrounding forces that do not know life and death, and then point our swords at the boundaries of the human race!"
Xilik's face began to become more distorted, and he said with a ferocious smile: "When we take control of the human race's territory, we will have a natural granary, hahaha!"
Hearing Ricky's laughter, the other trolls around him also looked eager to try, and started laughing wildly.
However, further away from Ricky and the others, there was a group of troll generals whose armor textures were obviously different from the robe textures. They all looked at each other in silence, with helpless expressions.
As we all know, the trolls are composed of five major tribes. In addition to the Bone Corrosion Tribe, the two Dog-Legged Thorn Tribes and the Rotten Wood Tribe, there are also two other tribes, namely the Giant Tree Tribe and the Mountain Abyss Tribe.
These two tribes usually live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, advocating the power of nature. They are not as cruel and manic as the other three tribes headed by Bone Corrosion. They do not practice forbidden magic, and they have never caused any harm to the human race.
However, since they are obviously no match compared to the other three major tribes, and have been suppressed by the other three major tribes, they have no right to speak in the Troll Tribe Alliance and can only be regarded as a reserve force. In order to prevent the other three tribes from taking the credit.
Including this time, the Giant Tree Tribe and the Mountain Abyss Tribe also tried to prevent Xilik from being so unscrupulous, especially by cooperating with the unpredictable Lich, but the result was obvious and it had no effect at all.
And those troll generals who looked helpless and couldn't even enter the core command system came from the troll tribe of these two people.
"He actually plans to be enemies with all the surrounding forces, and even tries to get involved in the rapidly rising human race. He is simply crazy!"
The face of an old troll general was full of indignation and weakness, and the wooden staff in his hand hit the ground heavily. This old man was Haner Shu, the leader of the giant tree tribe.
"Old man, the leader of the giant tree, calm down and be careful. The wall has ears. Now that guy is gaining momentum, we can't compete with him at all."
Another strong female troll general lowered her voice and said: "If that guy finds out, our tribe will even be in disaster."
"Chief Shanyuan, I know your concerns, but if you continue like this, even if we win this battle and destroy the surrounding besieging army and the human army, that guy who is addicted to Rick will only become more arrogant. Arrogance, and these are the precursors to destruction.”
Hanershu's old face was full of sternness, and he responded: "Besides, there are still lichs watching, they are just for profit, they will never truly stand on the side of the trolls, and they will try to use such a powerful force. Will be counterattacked by this force.”
"I know this too, but I can't do anything now."
The female troll general also looked solemn, and shook her head helplessly: "I hope things will turn around."
While the giant tree leader and the mountain abyss leader were whispering, Xirik obviously noticed something. He first glanced at the first two with disdain, and then focused his attention on the battle situation again.
A murderous intent suddenly appeared on his blue face full of anger, and he said solemnly: "Emperor of the human race, when we join forces with the undead army, it will be the end of you. Who will do it today?" Don’t even think about leaving this battlefield alive!”
Having said that, Ricky's distorted face was full of jests again, and he sneered: "However, a mere human race actually intends to face the undead army of lich alone, even if it is a place where you are favored by gods? It's nothing. It’s just the mantis’ arm blocking the cart. It seems that the human army will be destroyed first without waiting for the troops to join forces, haha.”
On the other side of the troll army is the tauren camp. Due to its cooperation with the trolls, it is naturally under the protection of the absolute defensive barrier.
"Your Majesty the King, it seems that the troll is planning to completely break up with all the surrounding besieging forces, and even plans to wipe them out one by one. What should we do?"
In the center of the tauren military formation, a middle-aged tauren general with meticulously trimmed hair touched his chest and saluted, and asked another tauren wearing a crown.
"We are only here to obtain the resources of the ancient mine, and other things have nothing to do with us."
The crown on the head of the tauren king shone brightly, making the pair of huge black horns shine brightly. He said calmly: "If anyone dares to stand in front of us, we will naturally not let them go. ”
"Your Majesty, the troll actually contacted the lich. It is an extremely unknown force."
Another tauren minister leaned on his staff and frowned: "Fighting with the lich will probably ruin our reputation."
"That's what the trolls came for. What does it have to do with us?"
The Tauren King remained calm and said expressionlessly: "I said just now, we are just here to obtain the resources of the ancient mine, and no one can stop the lonely king from moving forward."
……
"A mere human race dares to stop us alone. It's because they think they died too slowly."
In the mighty undead army, a black-hooded lich was hidden among a group of skeleton mages also wearing hoods, with a scarlet and cunning light shining in the empty eye sockets.
I saw him slowly and unscrupulously taking off his hood, revealing a hideous and gaunt face.
The skin on his face has shrunk and decayed, and only a small amount of muscle is still clinging to the skull, like a mummy, but this does not affect his arrogant smile.
He even gave up hiding himself as a controller in the military formation because he didn't feel that he would be in any danger.
Directly in front of him, 50 legions of the undead army completely formed their formation under the Ice Stone City. Countless dark magic artillery fires were pouring madly towards the crumbling city like a violent storm.
Although the magic artillery fire and arrow counterattacks on the city were also very good, in his opinion, they were just like playing house and did not pose any threat at all.
"Fortunately, the leader has asked me to serve as the vanguard commander this time. Naturally, I will be the first one to rush into the city after the city is broken. I can finally choose the trophies first. Those bright half-elves are very good. I must Let them become my playthings first, and as for those insignificant human soldiers, just treat them as small spices.”
"Furthermore, I am very curious about how this god-favored place operates. Could it be done by the overestimating human emperor? It's really intriguing. That's all. Everything will be clear before long. Of course, the premise is that there is no longer a living person in the entire city.”
"After this, the leader even spoke. The entire area will be ours. We will turn this place into a world of the dead, which naturally includes the human race. Although those ants are weak, they are After all, the number is huge, Jiejiejie”
The smile on the Lich's withered face became more intense, and he looked full of anticipation.
The moonlight shone on his ferocious face, revealing several scars that were deep enough to show the bones.
Around the Scar Lich, other lichs who were no different from mummies also had expressions of contempt and ferociousness on their faces, and they were directing their skeleton mages to pour increasingly fierce artillery fire towards Ice Stone City.
"Your Majesty, the energy of Ice Stone City is about to bottom out."
On the Bingshi City Wall where the explosions continued, Bing Lao's old face was filled with solemnity as he reported to Lei Xiao.
"I've seen it."
Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze from the cracked barrier wall above his head and slowly took a deep breath.
At present, the flower fairies, wood fairies, dwarves, tree people, and reinforcements from the human race's borders and territories are all ready. It seems that they can only gather reinforcements from all over to fight the opponent to the death.
But Lei Xiao clearly understood that the strength of these reinforcements was not only relatively limited, but also that many of them were wounded soldiers. It was obviously difficult for them to exert their due strength. In front of such a large undead army, it was no different than giving away their lives.
What's more, the undead army's strength has increased with the blessing of the night, and it is still controlled by the lich, which undoubtedly makes it almost impossible to see the hope of victory.
Not to mention that at the moment when reinforcements are being assembled in Ice Stone City, the opponent is very likely to take the opportunity to directly penetrate the rear of our besieging army.
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking about countermeasures, Xiao Jing flew over under the guidance of Xiao Huan.
Lei Xiao nodded slightly when he saw the figures of the two stone elves.
Before that, he had been focusing on the battlefield, but he temporarily forgot about this Nizi whom he had just met.
But no matter how strong Xiaojing is, she is just a sixth-level stone elf, and she obviously cannot help the battle situation.
However, just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Xiao Jing took a step forward, blinked her big eyes and asked calmly: "Your Excellency, Xiao Huan just said that we are currently facing a major crisis. Is this true?"
"Yes, things are a little beyond our expectations."
Lei Xiao forced a smile, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and blurted out quickly: "Xiao Jing, do you have a solution to all this?" (End of Chapter)
