Neither Xu Lai nor the Beast King expected that the climax would come so quickly after they had made countless preparations for this war.
After receiving the message from the Beast King, Luda finally calmed down.
He didn't want the Golden Eagle to die too much, but he couldn't let Xu Lai and the others run away, so he called the Golden Eagle back and sent Dapeng out.
Although the number of Dapeng is smaller, it is larger in size and has stronger attributes.
In less than half an hour, 23,000 golden eagles have been killed by his side, and he has not seen any paladin fall to the ground.
Not to mention the Paladins, even the mounts under their crotches were almost unscathed under the protection of the Paladin's shield and their own heavy armor.
Continuing the fight will only waste more lives of the golden eagle, and it is really not worth it.
Roc Ruda did not send out too many at once. The Golden Eagle could only break defense when it triggered a critical hit. The attributes of the roc were not much stronger, and the effect may not be ideal.
Sure enough, Dapeng's test did not achieve any results, but made Ruda even more distressed.
The Dapeng is in the middle between the golden eagle and the thunderbird. It is very uncomfortable to be neither up nor down.
One level up, you have the thunderbolt and lightning spell, which breaks through the limitations of physical attacks.
Although the attributes below are a little worse, the base is larger and easier to form groups, which makes it easier to suppress the enemy.
Therefore, Dapeng just tried it out, and after seeing that he really couldn't break through the iron knots under the defense, he simply raised them all.
While the enemy's flying troops left, Xu Lai immediately ordered everyone to eat and rest in batches.
Although the two rounds of fighting did not last long, the consumption of physical strength was very alarming.
The Paladins were fighting with heavy armors, and their arms were not allowed to rest, and they had to withstand attacks from raptors from all directions.
Seeing Xu Lai and the others eating in front of him to replenish their physical strength, Luda in the sky was so angry that he immediately ordered a flock of thunderbirds to attack.
Xu Lai turned a blind eye to the surging thunderbirds. He patted the little holy dragon who had been resting nearby and said:
"It's your turn to play, I don't want it." "More, help me get 3 minutes of rest."
What Xu Lai brought with him was to recruit paladins. He didn't eat slowly, and he didn't have any requirements for food, but his appetite was a bit large.
Level 7 Paladins each consume 2 units of food per day.
Even if Xu Lai brings meatloaf, each person still needs to eat two pieces. With a certain amount of water and rest time, he can finish it quickly in three to five minutes. He is really the best among the best.
After another half a year of growing at all costs, although the Holy Dragon still has not become a complete body, in terms of size alone, it is not inferior to the generally recruited level 7 dragons.
The Little Holy Dragon's body is already more than ten meters long, and the freezing breath it sprays is also more than ten meters long.
A breath of more than ten meters long spurted out, and a layer of white frost appeared on the thunderbirds that were sprayed, and their speed suddenly slowed down.
After exhaling, the little holy dragon held its head high and flew into the sky. The speed was so fast that even the Thunderbird, which is famous for its speed, could not touch it.
"Aang..."
A terrifying, but still slightly immature dragon roar spread across the grassland.
Amidst the roar of the dragon, there were at least a thousand thunderbirds, rocs and golden eagles, huffing and puffing like rain, hitting the ground.
With this dragon roar, Holy Dragon Xiaolan activated his most powerful passive ability, the Holy Dragon, putting 10% of the flying creatures in a state of fear.
It has to be said that giant dragons are really the natural enemies of flying creatures.
The ground units fell into fear and just stood still. At least there was no danger to their lives.
While flying creatures are caught in fear, standing still will bring great danger.
Fortunately, these flying creatures are not very high from the ground, and they are all at least level 5 golden eagles. They cannot be hit to death at a height of tens of meters.
Although they are not dead, they are all huge birds of prey. The golden eagle is better, but its wings are a bit bigger. The roc and thunderbird are both huge beasts weighing more than 100 kilograms.
Such a smash, even with defensive skills to protect the body, still suffered serious injuries.
The main purpose of the Holy Dragon is to delay time, so it does not confront these birds head-on.
Seeing that he had attracted enough hatred, this guy flew around the flock of birds, making a dragon roar from time to time.
Fear cannot be activated all the time, but who knows which dragon roar will be the next time it is activated.
As a half-orc, although he cannot master very advanced spells, he is much better than the orcs who know nothing about spells.
However, compared with humans, the highest level of the stronghold is only a level 3 magic guild, and their magical attainments are definitely much inferior to humans.
So Xu Lai did not cast the spell first, and the orcs never acted rashly.
He knew very well that his spells could not exert much power, so it was better to save Xu Lai's spells.
However, this giant dragon is too fast. Although it has not reached its peak level, its natural advantages as a 10th-level creature have been clearly revealed.
If we don’t use magic to restrict it, on this three-dimensional battlefield, even those Thunderbirds will be exhausted and unable to catch up.
The classic "Slowdown Technique" is also a very effective and commonly used deceleration spell.
Seeing this, Xu Lai stuffed a mouthful of meat pie made of dragon meat, and calmly took out the ultimate "Attack Acceleration" from the space ring.
Although he has no relevant magic skills, he has collected a lot of high-level spell scrolls.
And he judged that the enemy should not escape in a short period of time, and he did not need to worry about entering the cooldown period when he released Doomsday Judgment.
However, the slow method did not take effect on the Holy Dragon. The Holy Dragon's dragon king characteristics are even more domineering than the black dragon skin.
The king skin is not only immune to all malicious spells of levels 1-5, but can also freely choose whether to accept benevolent spells.
Therefore, the slowness method does not take effect, but the attack acceleration can be reflected in the holy dragon.
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether it takes effect or not. Xu Lai and the others have the effect of the slowing method, but they have all been covered by the attack acceleration.
Xu Lai and the others are not only not affected by deceleration, but will be affected by acceleration.
It is equivalent to Ruda wasting a spell casting opportunity and mana. This is the restraint relationship of spells.
The first-hand spell has an advantage, while the second-hand spell can be easily cracked.
Ruda was furious to death, but fortunately after releasing the attack acceleration, the knights did not leave.
If you just stand in place, the movement acceleration effect will not exist. It will only increase the attack speed, which is nothing more than killing a few more Thunderbirds.
Although the Holy Dragon is terrifying and difficult to deal with, it cannot be chased or defeated.
Ruda just sent hundreds of thunderbirds to try to drive the holy dragon away. Every time the Thunderbird attacks, there is a 20% chance of summoning thunderbolts and lightning. The Holy Dragon is indifferent and has the skin of the Dragon King.
Paladin and Holy Light Knight do not have such powerful skins.
Nearly one-third of the thunderbird flock was attracted by the holy dragon. Because of their large size, not every remaining thunderbird could attack the gathered knights.
However, thunder still flashed from time to time in the sky.
Of course, the mental power of thunderbirds cannot be compared with that of mages. They also do not specialize in air spells. The power of thunder and lightning is much weaker than that released by mages.
But the unstoppable Thunderbolt and Lightning is the strongest level 2 attack spell. Its basic damage is high enough. The key is the Thunderbird's innate ability, which does not consume mana at all.
After Xu Lai took off the rune pattern trousers, he lost 5% of his spell resistance and 5% of his damage reduction ability.
After all, if about 10 thunderbirds attack once, a bolt of lightning will inevitably fall.
After being reduced by 35% resistance, this lightning can cause about 70 points of damage to the Paladins at a time.
With the blessing of the ultimate offensive technique, the Thunderbird's physical damage caused by an attack is only a few points in the single digits. It is basically in a state of not breaking the defense, and most of it can be blocked by the shield. .
Therefore, as long as a bolt of lightning falls, it can cause great harm to the Paladins.
Of course, the Thunderbirds themselves are not feeling well either.
The Paladin, who is not very agile, actually has a long attack interval, but with the blessing of great speed, attack acceleration, and high morale, he can even surpass the Thunderbird, which is very agile.
Coupled with the fact that Ruda's defensive skills have not been fully cultivated, facing the paladin blessed with god-level offensive skills, he basically cannot withstand two swords.
But the paladin's physique is high enough, his health points are enough, and he is blessed with holy healing.
Unless there are 5 or 6 lightning bolts falling in a row and there is no time for the Paladins to heal, the Paladins will remain strong.
Even if the Thunderbirds have such luck, the Paladins still have one minute of invincibility at the critical moment.
Even if they themselves are too late to release it, the Holy Light Knights mixed in the crowd of Paladins will release the Holy Armor in time under Roland's command.
Looking at the golden light and lightning falling one after another below, Ruda in the sky became more and more panicked.
He now regrets running too far, leaving His Majesty the Beast King and others with no time to support him.
Faced with the constant fall of his own side, the group of paladins, although shaky, was still able to continuously raise the bloodline, and Ruda had a faint intention of retreating.
As another dragon roar sounded, countless ice cones fell from the sky.
This is the dragon language spell from the Holy Dragon, Ice Storm.
The Holy Dragon, who is not yet an adult, has only mastered this dragon language spell. The level is not too high, only level 3.
But because dragon language spells are activated using dragon language, and dragon language is a language with its own magic power, the spells it releases are generally enhanced, which is equivalent to the effect of having advanced specialization.
Because the ice cone covers a relatively wide area, the damage is not very high. No matter how low the health of the flying unit is, as the lowest level 5 health, it still has at least one or two hundred health points.
What's more, Ruda also has resistance and body protection. The ice storm can't cause much damage, but the 10% slowdown it comes with is extremely annoying.
Gritting his teeth, Ruda could no longer bear any more casualties. If it were delayed any longer, all the main force of his flying force would be killed here.
When he went out this time, he only brought one-third of the flying legion's strength, and the other two-thirds and half were distributed to the heroes of each department as auxiliary combat power.
The other half is the reserve force, located in the base behind Pingfeng Mountain.
Although he only has one-third here, he is the most elite part of the flying army.
If it is really lost here, it will greatly affect the course of the subsequent war.
Fortunately, as a flying unit, Ruda has absolute control over the war. He can fight whenever he wants and leave whenever he wants.
All the thunderbirds were suddenly lifted up. The Paladins did not have the ability to fight at a distance and could only watch these thunderbirds fly into the sky.
"Xu Lai, they are leaving, let me stop them."
Just as the thunderbirds were flying high, Elvi's voice came from Xu Lai's communication stone.
Xu Lai slowly pulled out the Doomsday Blade that had been hidden in the sheath, and was about to let Elvi lead the angel army to intercept the enemy from the sky.
Unexpectedly, the flying legion that had already flown away turned around again and flew towards Xu Lai and the others.
Xu Lai frowned. Before he could figure out what was going on, he faintly heard the trembling sound of the earth.
The sound came very quickly. Xu Lai looked far into the distance and saw smoke and dust rising into the sky in the direction of the Pingfeng Mountains.
Xu Lai was very familiar with this battle. When he led nearly a thousand paladin legions and charged at full speed, it had almost the same effect.
However, the orcs only have wolf cavalry, and the wolf cavalry is an unarmored cavalry. It is impossible to achieve such an effect regardless of size or weight.
Xu Lai instantly thought of the orc's Kodo beast. However, although this giant beast is terrifying, its speed is an outright weakness, and it is impossible to have such a high impact speed.
The sound of the running attack was like muffled thunder. At first, only smoke and dust could be seen, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed to be approaching.
And Xu Lai finally saw clearly that it was not the cavalry legion of the orcs, but the beast legion of the orcs.
Hundreds of green lizards over 3 meters high were seen charging towards the group of knights at terrifying speeds.
Xu Laike is very aware of the power of charge. As long as the speed is fast enough, it can easily provide 100%, 200% or even 300% attack bonus.
Therefore, although Xu Lai had never seen this kind of creature, he instinctively knew the danger.
"Quick, sacred armor!"
Xu Lai has been waiting and watching, so he naturally has the capital to wait and see.
With Roland's blessing, the sacred armor can last for more than a minute.
More than a minute is nothing on the battlefield, but it is enough for the cavalry to get through the first and most difficult acceleration stage.
After releasing the sacred armor, Xu Lai did not evacuate immediately. Instead, he pointed forward with a long sword burning with flames.
When it comes to charging, Xu Lai has never been afraid of anyone.
Despite being invincible, Xu Lai charged at the forefront. Nearly a thousand knights also put down their swords and shields, and together with their heroes faced the herd of beasts, charging in the opposite direction.
In the center of the herd, a strong orc nearly two meters tall, naked but covered with tattoos, couldn't help but snorted coldly, and shouted again:
"Thousands of beasts are galloping, open the fire for me. !”
Xu Lai’s eyes narrowed and he also noticed the man in the herd. He pointed his doomsday blade diagonally and shouted:
“Doomsday Judgment!”
The galloping beasts formed a cloud of smoke rising into the sky, and fiery red clouds also surged in the clear blue sky. (End of chapter)
