Chapter 557 Hunting Battle
The bloody boulder quickly collapsed under the action of the Twilight City army.
Not long after, a spacious space was cleared around him.
After the boulder fell, the power of the yellow sand from Richard's body escaped.
The gravel on the ground squirmed, stacking the boulders together like pulling a cart.
The sandstorm controllers also participated at this moment, and these troops directly turned into sandstorms.
In the sandstorm, a sharp blade was condensed to shape the boulder into a suitable shape.
With the concerted efforts of thousands of troops, the surrounding boulders were being chopped down like bamboo shoots.
The surrounding open space is getting wider and wider.
Before long, a rough and extremely solid military building gradually took shape.
That weird building can be called a battle platform. It is about three hundred meters in diameter and about twenty meters above the ground.
The protective walls around this large platform were built directly on top, and only the walls that were conducive to attack were built.
There is nothing else at all, and it is extremely simple.
Richard was quite satisfied with this.
The biggest advantage of this building is that it allows the army to take advantage of the geographical location.
Can attack from a high position.
This area is restricted to air.
If the enemy wants to destroy them, they can only attack from the ground.
As a result, they have home field advantage.
Looking at the completed platform, he was very excited.
In most cases, it is always more beneficial to defend a city than to attack.
The rules of this obelisk were somewhat special, and he wasn't sure what would happen.
It is better to be steady before attacking rashly.
After the platform was built, Richard began to place troops - tall, with dragon scales, holding a hollow, triangular, and strangely shaped heavy battle ax called Dragon Wings to defend the main position facing the obelisk.
Take maximum pressure.
The Stone Statues of the Dead, the King of the Imperial Guards, and the Mummy Imperial Guards fill the gaps in other lines of defense.
The sandstorm controller moves in the center and obeys his command.
What's interesting is that Richard did not arrange for the big guys like the Skeleton Blood Dragon to come to the front, but arranged them to the back.
The huge size is both a good and a bad thing for defending the city. The inflexible body can easily allow the enemy to take advantage of loopholes.
Let them serve as fire support, and their corrosive dragon breath can explode with greater power.
Once the enemy is strong, you can give way to a certain distance and let the Skeleton Blood Dragon clear the field.
Richard had just arranged the troops and was preparing two teams to lure the monsters.
The top of the bloody obelisk standing among the boulders, a terrifying place shrouded by countless thunders, suddenly erupted with a burst of bloody light.
Then, the thunder that lingered on it disappeared without a trace.
A thin vertical black line suddenly condensed.
Then, the black line slowly expanded to both sides.
In the blink of an eye, a dark hole appeared in the sky.
The next second, boom~ it was like a dry firewood poured with gasoline and ignited by the flames.
The hole suddenly burst into flames.
The scarlet flame burned scorchingly, drawing out a long tail flame.
The blood-colored clouds in the sky were stirred by the tail flame.
Only then did Richard see clearly what it was. A scarlet flaming eye.
The eye burning with scarlet flames seemed to sense something, and it blinked suddenly, then slowly turned to look at where he was.
The two sides suddenly looked at each other.
Richard felt an indescribable majestic pressure sweeping over him.
The whole figure is like a lonely boat in a violent storm, which may capsize at any time.
That is the gaze from higher beings, the gaze from endless time ago. It is unknown, mysterious, and extremely terrifying.
Richard's heart was beating wildly. Under the almost suffocating pressure, the power of the yellow sand on his body exploded tenfold, forcibly cutting off the pressure.
What is that thing?
Why is it so weird?
At the same time, a shrill roar sounded from the direction of the obelisk.
What followed was a series of roars, the sound was deep and brutal, like a bloodthirsty beast hunting.
Richard's gaze was focused, and he moved away from the weird eye and looked at the curved path formed by the huge rocks in front of him.
"Be prepared. The enemy is coming!"
Not long after he finished speaking, a burst of rapid footsteps, accompanied by a low roar, came from the giant stone forest.
The closer you get, the more you feel the pressure of the unknown enemy.
Getting closer, getting closer.
After a dozen breaths, the first terrifying figure appeared in front of Richard
It was a monster with a body height of more than three meters. The opponent's body was covered with blood-colored scales. The lower body was a snake and the upper body was a human. It held a long knife and a thick shield in its two hands.
The most frightening thing is that the hair on the opponent's head is actually countless tiny poisonous snakes.
Narrow eyes, constantly spitting out snake messages, and a slightly opened mouth, revealing ferocious fangs.
Creepy.
Old Banshee
Level: 19
Potential: Huiyue 3 stars
Skills: Petrification (A level, staring at the target for three seconds will turn the opponent to stone. The stronger the soul of the target, the longer the staring time.), poison, extreme speed, madness.
After taking a quick look at the attributes of those monsters, Richard raised his eyebrows.
Bright Moon 3 Stars, the old banshee?
The opponent's attributes and appearance are no different from the dungeon's famous extraordinary soldier, Medusa.
He was not surprised by the level and potential, but the word "old days" made his thoughts race.
The bloody sky, the bloody boulders, everything is shrouded in scarlet
Is this obelisk related to the power of the past?
At that moment, my interest became even more intense.
This chapter of Plane Explorer is just part of the Crimson Moon expansion pack.
But the problem is that he has been exploring the plane for so long and has not yet discovered the old power that the players said
At most, he could kill the lives that were showered with blood when the crimson moon rose.
If we connect the ancient rules that the obelisk can emit, could it be related to the old days?
Richard's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He is going to decide on this obelisk!
While thinking, more and more old banshees gathered from the path between the boulders.
However, these beings did not attack immediately, but delayed their progress, staring at the field with gray eyes.
Richard couldn't help but wonder when he thought about the skills of these arms.
His subordinates are all undead soldiers without eyes. I wonder if these old banshees can turn mummies into stone?
By the way, is there any big difference between a mummy and a stone?
In a short time, the number of old banshees surrounding them exceeded one thousand, approaching two thousand.
At the top of the bloody obelisk, the eyes burning with scarlet flames also noticed this scene.
Instant explosion.
The scarlet light became more and more intense.
The old banshee below seemed to hear the blowing of the horn and instantly became crazy.
An extremely high-pitched cry came out of his mouth, his lower body squirmed quickly, and he jumped straight away.
Looking down from the sky, one can see the old banshee forming a wave, seemingly destroying all obstacles in front of it.
What's even more terrible is that there are a steady stream of banshees coming from the boulder road behind.
Richard's face was calm as usual. After the monsters approached within two hundred meters, he waved suddenly.
"Mummy Guards. Volley!"
After the order was issued, the crown soldiers obtained from the city of the Lord of Dune tightly grasped the spear made of yellow sand in their hands, and their bodies were bent like a crossbow.
Then, explode.
咻咻咻咻~
Spears came out one after another, like lightning across the sky.
100 teams and thousands of spears directly formed a terrifying rain of spears.
After reaching the top of the climb, there was a sudden drop.
It shrouded all the old banshees who launched the charge.
These level 19 soldiers with countless little snakes growing on their heads all raised their thick shields, forming an exaggerated shield wall directly on the ground.
Most of the surface is covered.
The first spear that landed the fastest stabbed an old banshee hard, and the thick shield that the banshee had already raised directly blocked the spear.
Sonorous~
Sparks shot out, and the harsh metallic sound filled the sky.
The spear was forcibly deflected by the thick shield. After losing its power in mid-air, it suddenly exploded into yellow sand.
When the old banshee saw this, she couldn't help showing a bit of pride on her face.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt a blur in front of my eyes, and a sharp pain passed from my chest to my back.
Looking down, she saw a spear thrust diagonally through her body.
The old banshee immediately felt that her majestic power began to dissipate crazily. In the blink of an eye, her eyesight turned black, and then she fell to the ground unsteadily.
Couldn't get up anymore.
After the first spear fell, thousands of spears fell within less than two seconds.
Sonorous~
Phew~
The sound of the collision of spears and heavy shields and the screams of the wounded became the main theme on the battlefield.
After the first wave of attacks, the number of old banshees in Richard's sight did not decrease much.
A rough estimate shows that under the opponent's heavy shield defense, only one round of volley could kill a hundred people.
Level 19 troops are obviously more difficult than expected.
Richard frowned slightly and waved again.
The second and third rounds of attacks from the mummy guards followed.
The old banshee charged at high speed suffered a lot of pressure, but her muscles and bones were far from damaged.
The unstrengthened Mummy Guards, although they are Crown 3-stars and have a level as high as 15, are still unable to cause devastating blows to troops one level higher than themselves.
After seeing those fierce and ferocious monsters rushing within a hundred meters, Richard's eyes suddenly sharpened and he waved again.
"Stone Statue of the Dead, attack."
The resolute order caused the ace troops of Twilight City, which had already been filled with fighting spirit, to suddenly erupt.
Phew~
Thousands of battle axes roared out, and the chains on their wrists swung at the same time.
After several rounds of strengthening, the attack range of the stone statue of the dead has exceeded the terrifying two hundred meters!
The first wave of battle axes slashed at the old banshee at the front at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.
The perception of these level 19 soldiers is extremely sensitive. In an instant, the battle shield in their hands dropped from the posture of holding the sky spear to prevent it, directly blocking the front.
Sonorous~
The battle ax slashed directly onto the heavy shield with brutal force.
Mars exploded.
There are large cracks on it.
But it failed to cut through the banshee's thick shield.
Seeing this, the old banshee showed strong confidence in her gray eyes.
How dare this humble being peek into the holy land they protect? !
All deserve to die! !
With my heart bursting, I accelerated my progress again!
They want to use the blood of these invaders to calm the anger of the great master! !
But at this moment, some old banshees suddenly discovered that the battle ax that had returned in vain clicked, and a crack appeared.
In the blink of an eye, the cracks spread directly to the entire battle axe.
A bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart, and he subconsciously wanted to raise the shield higher.
But at this moment, click~bang~the battle ax exploded completely.
Countless fragments directly caused a metal storm.
The sharp fragments with terrifying power tore directly into the battle shield in his hand.
In an instant, the body became a sieve, and blood spurted out from dozens of openings at the same time.
Some old banshees only felt a terrifying pain in their souls and lost consciousness directly.
Some of the old banshees who were not yet dead suddenly felt a terrifying burning sensation coming from the fragments in their bodies, in the midst of their shock and anger.
Then, boom~ countless flames burst out.
It directly enveloped itself within a range of twenty to thirty meters.
The old banshee's eyes widened at this moment, and in the unbelievable emotion, she was burned alive into charcoal.
In her last peripheral vision, she saw that not only her, but her companions around her were also enveloped in flames and high temperatures at the same time.
These damn battle axes will explode?
The moment this thought arose, he lost consciousness.
Looking down from a high place, you can see the front end of the entire battlefield, and you can't see the bursts of scorching flames.
It looked like it had been bombarded by an alchemical bomb.
Those old banshees with cold murderous intent fell down like wheat.
Even if the level is as high as level 19, he cannot withstand such horrific damage.
The ace unit that Richard had worked so hard to cultivate, although it was lagging behind in level, was once again showing its edge at this moment.
But the direction of the battlefield did not change immediately because of the action of the stone statue of the dead.
These monsters with old powers know no fear
Destroying the invaders is their only mission.
After the king's stone statue took action, the scarlet flaming eyes on the top of the obelisk burned even more intensely.
Richard could even feel the anger conveyed by that strange eye.
——
In another land of huge rocks, a war, or massacre, was also going on.
A large number of human soldiers wearing heavy armor were being slaughtered one-sidedly by the old banshees coming from the winding path.
There are also a large number of lifelike stone statues on the battlefield.
The power of petrification skills is reflected in human soldiers.
"Why, how could they all be level 19 troops!!"
The old man with pale hair was standing in a higher area with a pale face, looking in disbelief at the old banshee who was madly slaughtering his own army in front of him.
Their uniform Huiyue troops, the ace army they were proud of, were being slaughtered like little chickens in front of those monsters.
What's even more terrifying is that as long as the army makes eye contact with the opponent, it will turn into a stone statue within a few seconds.
In just a few minutes of fighting, the army had already lost more than a thousand people, and its morale was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If this continues, their army may be slaughtered in less than an hour.
"President, that bastard lied to us!!"
"He said this obelisk is only guarded by level 15!!"
"The Ridiculous Knight Sect!! The Extraordinary One!! I will make you know what pain is when I go out! It will take ten years to avenge this revenge!!"
The pale-haired old man was obviously extremely angry at this moment, and he was swearing wildly.
The middle-aged player next to him looked equally ugly at the moment.
This was their first time exploring the obelisk, and they didn't expect to encounter this situation.
Bastard! !
According to the information they knew, the higher the level of the obelisk, the higher the strength of the guard.
They evaluated this obelisk based on the information given by the extraordinary person in the Knights Cult - its guard strength does not exceed level 17, and most of the troops are at level 15.
It is precisely because of this that they dare to explore.
But now... this is fucking level 15?
What a bastard!
They're making a big deal out of it! ! !
"What should we do now? President?"
The middle-aged player looked at the rapid fall of the army in front. He seemed to have thought of something, turned his head sharply and looked in a certain direction, and said in a trembling voice.
"Another player. Let's join forces with another player immediately!!"
"Stay with it for one day, no matter what you say, I will withstand it for one day this time!"
"Our reinforcements will be here soon." (End of Chapter)
