Chapter 1461 Fierce battle and dilemma
Seeing his people falling one after another, Loris roared madly, and the giant axe in his hand immediately turned into hundreds of afterimages, instantly crushing a raging sixth-level undead in front of him. The surging energy gust swept everywhere, and even blew away several fifth-level undead who were caught off guard.
Before Loris could catch his breath, more sixth-level undead warriors surrounded him. The various weapons formed thousands of trajectories and attacked Loris from all directions.
"Get out of here, leader!"
Loris' eyes were red, and he had obviously used some secret method to increase his strength. Veins suddenly appeared on his muscular body. He swung the giant axe for a circle and a half, blocking all the fatal attacks and even cutting a big hole in the weapons of many powerful undead warriors.
This is not surprising. After all, those powerful undead warriors are all using fifth-level equipment, while what Loris is holding in his hand is the sixth-level magic weapon carefully selected by Lei Xiao. In addition, his own strength is indeed strong, so it is not surprising that such a scene occurs.
But after being repelled, those sixth-level undead warriors immediately rushed forward again and continued to fight fiercely with Loris.
The afterimages left by the fierce battle and the roar produced by the energy collision were earth-shaking, causing the entire underground space to fall with rubble and tremble.
However, even though Loris was incredibly powerful, and could be seen swinging his giant axe from time to time to chop off part of the skeleton of one of his opponents along with the energy barrier, those powerful undead were, after all, just puppets controlled by the lich, and were not afraid of any pain at all, and continued to fight back and forth with Loris.
It didn't take long before the rainforest leader's breathing became noticeably rapid and he began to gasp for breath.
His strength was originally at the sixth level, six stars. After being blessed with special secret techniques, he was able to compete with a sixth level, seven star strongman. If it was a one-on-one fight, he could easily defeat an ordinary low-star sixth level strongman, or even kill him instantly.
But right now, there are as many as ten level six undeads madly attacking him, which is far beyond his strength limit.
Just when Loris was getting a little overwhelmed, in a corner not far away, a lich seized the opportunity, smiled sinisterly, and swung his bone staff fiercely. An extremely sharp bone blade shot out and whistled towards the back of the former which he could not take care of.
Since the energy fluctuations of the entire battlefield had already become completely disordered, when Loris noticed the hidden arrow coming, it was already too late to dodge.
"Fifth level of thunderbolt technique!"
At this moment, Lei Xiao's cold shout rang out, and a purple light that fell from the sky accurately hit the sudden bone blade, knocking it directly to the ground.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After getting the assistance of Lei Xiao, Loris just nodded to the former and was plunged into a deadly battle again.
Lei Xiao didn't hesitate at all. He fired another shining bolt of lightning, which went straight towards the lich who had shot the arrow.
Not far away, the lich was obviously prepared. Like a slippery loach, he had already hidden behind several powerful undeads and avoided Lei Xiao's bombardment.
But before the grinning lich could gain a firm foothold, a flash of cold light tore the lich's body apart, and the shriveled head, which still contained a sinister grin and astonishment, rolled far away until it was crushed by the chaotic army.
Needless to say, the one who took action was naturally Xiaojing.
After Xiao Jing killed her opponent instantly with a back attack, the several powerful undead warriors in front who had lost control also fell to the ground. Seeing this, the other liches nearby immediately waved their bone staffs and commanded the undead under their control to attack fiercely. At the same time, various necromancy spells were fired out, making the whole scene suddenly dangerous.
Faced with the opponent's overwhelming attack, Xiao Jing directly hid in the shadows and disappeared in front of everyone. After a moment, she had returned to Lei Xiao's side.
"Well done."
Lei Xiao nodded to the slender stone elf, and then focused his attention back on the battlefield.
Looking around, he saw that in the chaotic battlefield with shouts and screams, not only the physical warriors like Loris who were at the front were caught in a tough battle, but even the magicians and archers like Sina who were originally responsible for supporting the attack were also in a state of panic, looking exhausted.
At this time, the enemy's undead army was pressing forward step by step, completely compressing our formation.
Although the magicians and archers were surrounded by physical warriors, many places were still penetrated by the enemy, forcing our ranged warriors who were not good at close combat to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy.
After all, the other side has the advantage in both strength and numbers, and the powerful undead are fearless and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
As a result, coupled with the fact that the cunning liches were hiding behind us and shooting arrows, more and more of our strong men fell down with screams, and were soon annihilated in the enemy's skeleton army.
Some of our strong men were even directly converted into new undead by the opponents on the spot. They climbed out of the pile of corpses woodenly and swung their sharp blades at their comrades who had just fought side by side with them.
In such an unfavorable situation, although everyone on our side clearly understands that as long as we can kill the lich who is the controller, we can take away a group of undead along the way.
But every lich was like the one just now, extremely slippery, hiding in the dark and behind the guards, and possessing many means of preserving their lives. Even with the close cooperation between Lei Xiao and Xiao Jing, they only wiped out a few sixth-level liches. There were probably more than two or three thousand liches on the battlefield, or even more.
The Rolandel in Lei Xiao's hand was surrounded by purple light. He first split a heavily armored undead along with its shield into two, and then threw a sixth-order range attack spell with fire attribute to the rear of the opponent's army, setting off a burst of flames.
If it weren't for the fact that the strong men under his command also carried a lot of sixth-level scrolls and sixth-level equipment, suppressing the opponent's power to a great extent, the current situation would probably be even worse.
In addition, Fleming's performance was also extremely eye-catching. Although this low-key and introverted old dragon slayer did not say much along the way, his methods were not ambiguous at all.
Just as Gray Old Man and Joniel had described before, Fleming, who was also a necromancer, had mastered a special method that seemed to be able to make all necromancy within a certain range ineffective, and even the undead could not move normally.
At the beginning, Fleming did play a role that cannot be ignored. Almost single-handedly, together with the magic fortress built by Chris and others, he blocked the undead army from other directions from encircling us.
However, the powerful opponents, led by the lich deputy leader, soon discovered this and switched their attack methods, using corrosion spells and physical long-range attacks to concentrate their fire on the old dragon slayer.
For a moment, although Fleming would not fall into the trap easily, he was no match for a pack of wolves after all, and he could not continue to use that special method. This allowed the other party to destroy the magic fortress and press forward again.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. If it was one against ten, I could still handle it with ease, but the number of the enemy is simply too large."
Fleming gritted his teeth and said helplessly to Lei Xiao through the magic communication: "But I will try my best to attract the other party's attention, and then wait for the opportunity to act, and never let the other party have an easy time!"
"Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and a drop of sweat quietly slid down his forehead.
The current situation is very clear. Even though we are completely at a disadvantage, the reason why our front has not completely collapsed is, on the one hand, the outstanding performances of top players such as Loris, Sina, and Fleming, and on the other hand, the strong equipment and trump cards of our players.
But the endurance and combat effectiveness of the Undead army are far beyond that of ordinary opponents. If we continue to consume them like this, our hope of breaking through will become increasingly slim.
"Haha, this group of ants is already at the end of their strength. Keep attacking their fragile formation and devour them completely!"
The lich deputy leader was filled with murderous aura. He waved his staff and shot out a green, decaying light towards Fleming. He said recklessly, "Don't leave any of them alive. Kill them all!"
After hearing the call from the lich deputy leader, the morale of the other liches was greatly boosted. They started to become more unscrupulous and madly attacked our increasingly tired warriors.
For a moment, tens of thousands of white skeletons were baring their fangs and claws, carrying the bone spears and bone guns shot out by the liches and pressing forward in a large number. The momentum was extremely shocking.
Even though we are all strong and experienced warriors, we are still trembling in our hearts when facing such a ferocious and hideous army of undead. After all, we are fighting against a group of complete dead. How can we kill the opponent again when he has already died once?
"Hold the line, hold your ground!"
Lei Xiao threw out several sixth-level magic scrolls in succession, directly blasting away a group of the opponent's back row. Even several liches who were unable to dodge had their energy barriers broken and fell down with screams.
Seeing Lei Xiao display his prowess, our originally low morale obviously boosted a bit, and we tried our best to break through to that passage again.
"It's that damned human emperor again."
While attacking Fleming, the deputy lich leader directed other liches to block our progress. He grinned with a twisted face and said grimly, "Then you go and die first!"
As the lich deputy leader finished speaking, Lei Xiao felt a fierce and murderous aura rising into the sky. The next second, a heavy sword with murderous intent fell from the sky and came towards him.
"Don't even think about hurting the Lord!"
Seeing this, Xiao Jie's absolute defense barrier flashed with light and protected Lei Xiao.
boom!
There was a loud bang, and although the heavy sword did not break the absolute defense barrier, it left the barrier full of cracks. Xiao Jie, the caster, turned pale and could barely stand.
When the absolute defense barrier collided and shattered just now, Xiao Jie had already suffered a considerable degree of magic backlash. Now she was hit hard again and was already on the verge of collapse.
"Take a good rest, and leave the rest to me."
Lei Xiao's mind moved, and Xiao Jie turned into the [God's Stone] again and was taken into his arms.
Then, Lei Xiao swung his sword and slashed at his opponent.
boom!
There was another loud sound of energy collision. In the gap when the opponent was blocking, Lei Xiao noticed that the person coming was the powerful undead wearing a tattered crown.
Feeling the fierce and vast aura emanating from the other party, Lei Xiao frowned slightly.
This guy's strength is enough to rival Xina's. He might have already reached level six, seven stars. However, he has just been promoted to level six not long ago, and his strength is obviously far behind his.
Furthermore, the situation is critical and it is not the time to engage in a head-on confrontation. Even if one uses all his cards to defeat the opponent, the opponent is just a controlled skeleton and cannot change the current situation of the battle at all.
Just as Lei Xiao frowned, the heavy sword of the Crown Undead stirred the space and came whistling again.
This time, Lei Xiao was obviously well prepared. With purple light surging around him, he dodged the opponent's slightly clumsy attack. Then he slashed with his sword in his backhand, but failed to shake the opponent's energy barrier at all.
"It's a real tough nut to crack, literally."
Lei Xiao looked at the other party's white skeleton wrapped in the energy barrier, and his brows furrowed even more.
Although his speed was not much slower than his opponent's due to his skills and buffs, the gap in strength and defense was obvious.
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking of this, the crowned undead roared and attacked again with murderous intent!
Faced with the opponent's heavy and sharp sword, Lei Xiao had no choice but to keep swinging his sword to block and dodge. After a while, his palms were numb from the shock and he became extremely anxious.
If I get stuck here, how can I find hope of breaking out?
"My Lord, leave this big guy to me!"
At this moment, Xiao Jing defeated the other two undead that attacked from the side, and then swung her sword towards the crown undead, and for a while, she was evenly matched with the opponent.
You know, when the contract was first signed, Xiao Jing, who used the "Lord's Gift" to form the secret method, had a strength close to the sixth level and five stars.
Now, as Lei Xiao has stepped into the sixth level, Xiao Jing's strength has also increased. After using the "Lord's Gift", although she has not yet reached the sixth level and seven stars, she has easily reached the sixth level and six stars, which is enough to compete with her opponents.
"My Lord, that strange stone elf suddenly sent out a special signal, which seems to have a way to help us escape!"
After temporarily escaping, Xiao Jie's clear voice rang in Lei Xiao's mind, and she said excitedly: "But the other party doesn't dare to come over..."
"Then let's go find each other!"
Lei Xiao didn't have time to think about anything else. After temporarily handing over the command to Xina and Loris, he flew out with all his strength and rushed towards the passage.
Due to Lei Xiao's amazing speed, even far exceeding that of other sixth-level powerhouses, he passed through the chaotic battlefield in the blink of an eye and was already very close to the entrance.
"You human ants, don't even think about playing any tricks on me!"
Seeing Lei Xiao's sudden action, the deputy leader of the lich, although he didn't know what the former was planning, still led the crowd to meet him and blocked Lei Xiao's way. (End of this chapter)
