Chapter 1463 Surprise and Reversal
In the underground space filled with shouts and demonic explosions, just as Lei Xiao was heading towards the passage to look for the strange [God's Stone], although our strong men quickly stabilized their morale under the command of Sina and Loris, the already tattered front became even more shaky.
To be more precise, it is only one step away from collapse.
"I have seen all kinds of situations and experienced all kinds of disadvantages. Even second-rate forces can't shake me in the slightest, let alone you half-dead guys!"
At the front line, Loris was still roaring at the top of his lungs, barely maintaining the morale of those around him.
At this time, he and other melee warriors of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance had been almost completely separated by the liches and the undead, and were all fighting alone.
Since it is difficult to get support from our long-range strongmen, the situation is undoubtedly extremely critical.
On the other side of the battlefield, Xina was becoming increasingly overwhelmed. Around her, more and more of our ranged warriors were seriously injured, and some even fell to the ground and never got up again.
In addition, the strong men under Lei Xiao, who had been fighting to the death, were also becoming more and more breathless. The energy barriers on many of them were extremely weak. The alchemical puppets commanded by Broy and other dwarf elves were scattered all over the ground. Many alchemical puppets were even torn into pieces by the violent undead.
"Haha, they won't be able to hold on any longer!"
In the enemy's army, the deputy leader of the lich attacked Fleming frantically, with a reckless look on his withered face, and laughed wildly: "Crush all these ants who overestimate their own strength!"
"Nonsense! We will never give up until the Lord tips the scales of victory!"
Facing the more powerful Crown Undead, Xiao Jing struggled to dodge the opponent's unscrupulous attacks and shouted coldly.
In addition to the Crowned Undead, there were two level six liches grinning and hiding in the chaos, shooting arrows wildly. This made Xiao Jing even more embarrassed. The energy barrier around her was forcefully hit by several necromancy rays and was already in a state where it could collapse at any time. She didn't even have enough energy to escape into the shadows, and couldn't even escape into the cracks in space to escape.
Even so, Xiao Jing still gritted her teeth and persisted. She knew clearly that once she was defeated, she would fall asleep for a long time, which would weaken the lord's power and make her unable to protect the lord. So no matter what, she must not fall here!
"Even though he's in such a sorry state, he's still holding on."
Looking at Xiao Jing's slender body that was constantly staggering, one of the liches who kept shooting cold arrows was full of joking, waving his staff and grinning, "Go to hell!"
As the cold arrow lich finished his words, a white ray of undead light shot out from the top of the staff and swept straight towards Xiaojing's chest.
At this time, Xiao Jing, who had just dodged a heavy blow from the Crown Undead, had not yet stood firm, and the undead light was already very close. Although she had noticed the coming crisis, Xiao Jing had no time to make any evasive moves.
Noticing this scene, several of our powerful warriors around cried out in surprise, but they were all in a state of being unable to take care of themselves and were completely powerless to do anything.
The next second, Xiao Jing felt the floor tiles under her feet suddenly flash with golden light, and a soft yet powerful energy wave surged out.
Then, a burly figure descended from the sky, and easily swung his sword to block the undead rays shot by the lich.
"It could be you? How is this possible?"
After surviving the disaster, when Xiao Jing saw the burly figure who helped her, her eyes widened immediately.
The one who appeared in front of her was the Crowned Undead who almost put her to sleep!
The crowned undead didn't hesitate at all after blocking the attack. He swung his giant sword and rushed out, slashing at the lich who shot the arrow.
Because all this happened too suddenly, the lich who shot the arrow had no time to react and was split in half along with the energy barrier.
The other lich next to him who shot the arrow was not spared either. Just as a look of surprise appeared on his withered face like a mummy, he was cut in half by the crowned undead.
This surprising scene not only happened in front of Xiaojing's eyes, but also spread throughout the entire battlefield.
Looking around, at least half of the powerful undead made the same move, turning their swords and sharp blades to target the liches and other undead, causing many opponents who had no time to react to fall down howling.
Especially those undeads who were originally used as shields, turned around and slashed the bodies of the liches behind them, catching the opponents off guard. At least hundreds of liches had their heads separated from their bodies and fell to the ground before they could figure out what was happening.
For a moment, the entire battlefield was reversed in an instant. Our line, which was on the verge of collapse and was divided, began to quickly stabilize and converge again, while the remaining liches and other undead began to retreat step by step, and were in a state of being unable to take care of themselves, let alone besiege us.
This is no wonder. There were nearly ten thousand undeads who suddenly turned against us, which gave our originally weak side an absolute advantage in strength and numbers.
As one thing grows while another shrinks, and as everything happened so suddenly, it is not surprising that this situation occurred.
"In the end what happened?"
Seeing that the undead who had just attempted to kill us all suddenly became our friendly forces, Xina also opened her beautiful eyes wide, with disbelief filling her fair face.
"No matter what happened, since the other party has started to kill each other, this is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation!"
After the powerful undead warriors who were madly besieging him turned their sharp blades to the surrounding liches, Loris did not hesitate at all and began to fight side by side with those powerful undead warriors, chopping off the shriveled heads of several liches in a row.
"What on earth is going on?!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the lich deputy leader who had just been laughing wildly suddenly froze, and his face was filled with exasperated anger.
"Mr. Deputy Chief, that strange golden light just flashed, and those undead spirits are out of our control!"
The other lich's withered face was in a state of panic as he responded, "It's as if they have their own minds. They even formed a battle team with each other and cooperated very closely!"
"I have seen all of this. Do you still need to talk nonsense here?"
The lich deputy leader slapped another lich away and tried to control the crown undead again, but it had no effect at all. To be more precise, he completely lost control of the crown undead.
You know, the Crown Undead is his main Undead. There has never been any problem with it before. But now, not only is it out of control, but it is full of hostility towards him!
"It must be the golden light just now, but what on earth was that?"
Just when the lich deputy leader had not yet figured out the situation, screams sounded from beside him.
I saw that the lich who was blown away just now had half of his body cut off by the heavy sword, and the owner of the heavy sword was the crown undead.
"Lich, it's time to pay back the blood debt!"
A hoarse and firm voice came from the body of the Crown Undead. After that, it swung the giant sword and attacked the Lich Deputy Leader directly.
"You bastards who are still haunting me, let me kill you once more!"
The Lich deputy leader was surprised, but he also obviously realized something. Thousands of bone spears covered the sky and shot towards the Crown Undead.
At this moment, Lei Xiao appeared at the entrance of the passage and shouted, "Strong men from Broken Valley Alliance, the liches are also our mortal enemies, kill them all!"
Behind Lei Xiao, the strange stone elf also stood up and said with all his might: "Everyone, this human king is a good man. It was he who activated the magic imprint hidden in you all!"
After hearing the shouts of the strange stone elves, the morale of the powerful undead who stood with us became even stronger, and they beat the lich and other undead so hard that they couldn't even raise their heads.
"The Broken Valley Alliance? The alliance that was destroyed by the lich back then?"
Hearing this, Sina and Loris were stunned at first, and then they suddenly understood.
According to historical records, after the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance were wiped out by the lich, they indeed became the first group of undead controlled by the lich, and they also had a deep hatred for the lich.
In this case, it is not surprising that the opponent attacked the lich without any explanation.
But how did these former Broken Valley Alliance masters do this after thousands of years? It was unheard of that they could successfully escape from the control of the lich!
But no matter what, all this must be the result of the efforts made by His Majesty the Human Race just now. With the addition of this new force, we have successfully tipped the scales of victory!
Thinking of this in their hearts, Sina and Loris were both very excited, commanding their strong men to attack the stunned liches.
At the entrance of the passage, seeing our team advancing with great momentum, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
To allow those strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance who were once controlled by the liches to regain their sanity and escape from the control of the liches, this is exactly the last resort that the strange stone elf mentioned just now.
This is exactly the reason why the magic circle was activated just now. It is because of the activation of the magic circle that this method that has been buried for thousands of years can be successfully implemented again and become the weight for us to pry the scales of victory.
Lei Xiao learned more through the information Xiao Jie obtained from the strange stone elf.
In fact, the core of this method is to inject a special magic mark into the body of the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance, so that their life source will not completely dissipate after their death, but part of it will exist in this special magic mark. In other words, this magic mark is a special container.
In addition, this mark has sacred attributes. As long as one regains consciousness, it can help the main body completely cut off the control of the lich.
But the imprint is hidden very deeply and can only be activated using a special magic array. Otherwise, no one will notice it at all, which is why the current situation has occurred.
Apart from the command hall where the switch of the magic circle was located just now, this is the core of the magic circle. The energy fluctuations emitted are enough to restore the consciousness of all the strong men of the Broken Bone Alliance in the entire dungeon.
"This also explains why the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance did not use this method before the destruction, because this method can only be used after being transformed into a dead spirit."
A look of nobility emerged on Lei Xiao's face, and he looked at the powerful undead warriors of the Broken Valley Alliance who were fighting hard.
On the surface of their skeletons, there were faint golden textures flashing, which was the manifestation of the activated imprint. Even though these strong men were turned into undead, they were still determined to fight the liches to the death. It was truly admirable, but also quite sad and helpless.
After all, even if they activated this last resort, they could only move in the form of undead, and had lost almost everything they had before.
One can imagine how much effort they put in fighting the lich back then, but in the end, they could not avoid the moment of destruction.
"According to the description of the strange stone elf, when the liches attacked this underground city, which was the last fortress of the Broken Valley Alliance, the soldiers of the Broken Valley Alliance, including the Crowned Undead, fought back, but were eventually wiped out."
"Originally, according to the planned plan, only the strange stone elf was left to activate this last resort. However, before the strange stone elf could activate it, he was discovered by the liches. He was outnumbered and tried his best to escape, but eventually he fell into a deep sleep due to his severe injuries."
"Fortunately, the strange stone elf chose a very secluded place, so it was not discovered by the liches. Until today, because of our arrival, the liches activated the gravity trap. The energy fluctuations that were stirred up shuttled back and forth in the dungeon, which awakened the weak stone elf and led to the series of events just now."
While thinking this, Lei Xiao rejoined the battle and ordered our strong men to block all the entrances to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
It didn't take long before our strong men fought side by side with those of the Broken Valley Alliance, and most of the liches and other undead were quickly wiped out. Only the lich deputy leader and some minions were still struggling to hold on.
"You bunch of ants, don't think you can change anything just like this!"
The deputy lich leader was already extremely weak under the attack of the Crowned Undead, Sina, Loris and others, but he was still very stubborn and said grimly: "Even if you defeat me, what does it matter? After this, you will encounter bone-chilling cold and despair, and you will all be crushed into dust..."
Before the lich deputy leader, who was already at the end of his strength, could finish his words, the giant sword of the crowned undead drew several silver tracks in the air and directly chopped him into pieces.
After the death of the lich deputy leader, the other minions were quickly wiped out, and the hall soon became quiet again.
For a moment, even though they had just fought side by side, our strong men and those undead strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance kept a considerable distance from each other while looking at each other.
Then, the Crown Undead took a step forward and walked in front of Lei Xiao. (End of this chapter)
