Chapter 1183 Sudden Disadvantage
"Gustav, it looks like you're in some trouble."
The voice of the mysterious being was calm, yet it revealed an unmistakable gloom.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It's my fault for not giving good instructions!"
Gustav fell to his knees in panic, and kowtowed towards the main hall of the Temple of Light in the city.
"Get up."
The mysterious being's voice did not fluctuate, and he said indifferently: "Although the appearance of the alien was within my expectations, the offensive seems to be stronger than I imagined, but that's all."
"Supreme Lord, what do you mean...?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be blamed, Gustave's stern face lit up with joy and asked again.
"I allow you to mobilize all the power of the Holy Temple of Light to make those despicable scum from another world realize their own stupidity and powerlessness."
The mysterious being snorted with contempt and continued, "I am currently cultivating the Root with all my strength and cannot get away for the time being. Do you understand what you should do?"
"Please rest assured, my Lord. I will never let those despicable scum from another world disturb you!"
Gustav understood, and a murderous arc appeared on his lips. He said grimly: "With the authorization of the Supreme Lord, it is time to let that despicable alien have a taste of what true terror is."
"Very good. Once the 'roots' take root and begin to absorb nutrients, nothing will be able to stop me."
Accompanied by a burst of "hehehe" crazy laughter, the voice of the mysterious existence came to an abrupt end.
Gustav was filled with anger, and ordered the enemy generals around him, "Make room and let those guys in the main hall come up. I want to make sure that despicable alien understands that he is provoking a behemoth that he absolutely cannot afford to offend."
After hearing Gustav's order, all the enemy generals looked grim and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Battle flags were fluttering on the crowded walls of Bingshi City. Under Lei Xiao's command, our extremely fierce attack was still continuing. Judging from the tremendous momentum, instead of showing any signs of fatigue, it was getting more and more intense.
With the further assistance of high-level potions and magic scrolls, no matter whether it is the main force above level five or the two squadrons of level four, every time they launch an offensive, they can stir up a strong wave of energy on the city wall.
The overwhelming strong wind swept through, causing other ordinary soldiers to evacuate the area in excitement. Otherwise, even the elite heavy infantry wearing hundreds of kilograms of heavy armor would be knocked to the ground.
Listening to the magical bombardment that shook the earth and sky and looking at such a huge offensive, even the strong men from the neutral camp who were watching the battle exclaimed from time to time.
However, at the front of the neutral camp, the leader, an old man in gray and an old magician in silver robes, both had solemn expressions and slightly frowned brows.
These are none other than Gray Old Man, the president of the Mercenary Guild, and Joniel, the president of the Alchemist Guild.
Before this, when they saw Lei Xiao entering Huangyao City with only a few people, the two were surprised. After thinking it over again and again, they finally decided to take the initiative to contact our soldiers who stayed behind to get the latest news.
Since Lei Xiao had anticipated the possibility of such a situation before leaving and had made corresponding plans, our generals who stayed behind did not hide anything and directly informed the other side of the specific battle situation.
After Lei Xiao successfully left the underground city, he got the news at the first time and soon met with the presidents of the two neutral organizations. After informing them of the latest news from Xiao Jie, he finally invited them to go to Ice Stone City.
There are two main reasons why Lei Xiao did this.
First, by following our actions, the two will naturally discover everything at the first time, and then react as quickly as possible after the mysterious existence reveals a flaw, thus becoming our helper.
Second, Lei Xiao had long anticipated that the two would be suspicious of each other and would label each other and the Temple of Light as the masterminds behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood. With our mediation, the two would be able to see through the fog and recognize the reality more quickly.
As for whether the two will affect our attack, Lei Xiao is not worried.
First of all, Lei Xiao had long known that his opponent was a mysterious entity, not the Mercenary Guild or the Alchemist Guild.
Secondly, Bingshi City is our territory. Including the city walls, there are powerful magic traps laid by Old Bing himself everywhere, which can be called a dragnet.
Finally, Lei Xiao naturally arranged some accompanying personnel, such as Xiao Huan and other stone elves, as well as fifth-level alchemical puppets.
Under this premise, even if there are any changes between the two, we can deal with them in a timely manner at the first opportunity.
After receiving Lei Xiao's invitation, both of them chose to climb up the city wall without hesitation, which led to the scene of watching the battle.
After all, both of them clearly understood that the Black Abyss Brotherhood had been active for some time before the Lord's arrival, and Lei Xiao would definitely not be the mastermind behind all this.
Therefore, reaching Lei Xiao's territory, Ice Stone City, means that Lei Xiao will serve as a check and balance between the two.
In this situation, even if the other party suddenly attacks, our side will have enough time to react and will not be too embarrassed.
All in all, Lei Xiao's invitation to the two is undoubtedly in the interests of all three parties, and there is naturally no reason for Hui Lao and Joniel to refuse.
After arriving at Ice Stone City and entering the battlefield area, both of them were surprised and became more aware.
Just as Lei Xiao said, the real mastermind behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood has become increasingly clear, and it is very likely the Temple of Light in front of them.
However, even though they were already 70% sure, they still did not choose to take action immediately.
Firstly, the Temple of Light has not yet revealed its true flaws. If they attack the wrong person and let the other party take advantage, then the human world may be truly hopeless.
Secondly, although both of them were keenly aware of a strange and mysterious force surging in the city, that force was still in its early stages, so they chose to continue observing and did not act rashly.
In the turbulent Ice Stone City, looking at Lei Xiao's increasingly fierce offensive and the absolute defense barrier of the Temple of Light looking increasingly fragile, Gray Old and Joniel frowned and stared at the magic projection in front of them.
The cities of both sides were only a few hundred meters apart. At such a close distance, although everything was covered by the dazzling magical light and thick smoke, the true appearance of the other city was almost invisible.
But as the heads of neutral organizations, they naturally understand clearly that although Lei Xiao seems to have some advantages at present, the Temple of Light has obviously not yet exerted its full strength.
"It should be about time. If we continue to bombard for a while, I'm afraid the absolute defense barrier of Glowing City will really collapse."
Gray Old Man narrowed his eyes slightly, gently rubbed his chin and said: "Isn't it time for the Holy Temple of Light to show some real skills?"
“It’s time indeed.”
Joniel stroked his silver beard and narrowed his eyes. "Old man, who do you think the other side will send out first?"
"That's impossible to say."
Gray Old Man's eyes reflected flashes of magical power. He shook his head slightly and said, "But what is certain is that the test of the Holy Lion Prince has just begun."
As soon as Gray Old Man finished speaking, something strange happened.
Suddenly, a dazzling and sharp golden light burst out from the wall of Huiguang City, which was originally covered by thick smoke and flames, and directly dispersed the surrounding smoke.
Then, a high-pitched and difficult-to-read group chant sounded. This sudden group chant had a strong penetrating power, and instantly drowned out the magical artillery fire from both sides, stirring in the ears of everyone on our side, as harsh as countless chalks rubbing against a blackboard.
In the thin smoke dispersed by the sharp golden light, a team of enemy priests, all dressed in golden robes and priest hats, was looming. This was the source of the shrill chanting.
Under the chanting of this priest team, the originally dim absolute defense barrier was instantly restored to its original state. The enemy soldiers on the city wall who were at a loss were all covered by dazzling golden light one after another. Soon, their bodies were shining with golden light and they calmed down again. It was obvious that they were blessed with a lot of blessing spells.
For a moment, under the influence of the harsh sound, not only did the advantage we had just created disappear in an instant, but the opponent's magical firepower also became more and more fierce, and there was even a faint momentum of overwhelming us.
"This is the Holy Chanters of the Temple of Light!"
Gray Elder frowned and blurted out, "This team is made up of a hundred of the most devout high-level bishops, including at least 10 fifth-level bishops and 90 fourth-level bishops. They are best at using high-level buff spells and weakening the opponent's combat capabilities. They are one of the most famous trump cards of the Holy Temple of Light!"
"The enemy's high-pitched chanting with such strong penetrating power sounds like the sound of nature to the enemy's own camp, which can greatly enhance the capabilities of the soldiers. But to us, it sounds like an extremely harsh sonic attack, enough to give ordinary soldiers a splitting headache, or even make them faint!"
As expected, as Gray Old's words fell, amid the increasingly intense and shrill chanting coming from the opposite side, waves of hysterical wails and screams soon rang out on our city walls.
I saw many soldiers with pale faces, holding their heads tightly, looking extremely painful.
At the beginning, under the strenuous guidance of the commanders, these soldiers who were suddenly severely injured were able to be carried down the city wall in an orderly manner.
But later on, not only the soldiers who were responsible for carrying the stretchers fell down one after another, but even many middle and low-level commanders were not spared. They fell to the ground in agony, unable to stop crying.
At a glance, our city walls were full of soldiers struggling and rolling on the ground, and there was chaos everywhere.
As for the commanders and strong men above level three, although they were not affected so seriously, they could clearly feel that the energy flow in their bodies had slowed down, and they were obviously also greatly affected.
In just a blink of an eye, our magical artillery and other attacks were completely at a disadvantage, and we were almost in a passive state of being suppressed by the opponent.
"This is going to be difficult for the Holy Lion Prince. Theoretically, the Holy Chanters who can use sonic attacks are enough to scare off a million-strong army, not to mention the other Holy Temple forces on the Glorious Wall."
Joniel's silver eyebrows knitted together and he shook his head helplessly.
Even he, who controlled the Alchemy Guild, had to admit that the methods of the Temple of Light were indeed unrivaled in the human world and could be called the number one behemoth in the human world.
Around Joniel, whether it was Gray Old Man, Diana, or the Three Sages of Alchemy, they all frowned, and were obviously worried about Lei Xiao.
"Hehehe, you despicable alien, now you know how stupid you are, right?"
On the opposite side of the Glowing City, Gustav was enjoying the heavenly sounds lingering in his ears while gloomily saying with a face full of mockery, "They are just lowly and ignorant aliens. They actually dared to attack the Glowing City without knowing their own strength. It's really stupid and puzzling."
"Hehe, Master Gustav is right!"
The fat Yaerlin came up with his big belly, and sneered, "Your Excellency is worthy of being the most powerful general under the Supreme Lord. You just moved your little finger and made that despicable scum from another world lose his way!"
After Yarlin finished speaking, the other enemy generals also folded their arms with contempt on their faces and echoed him.
"Bishop Arlin is right. Lord Gustav is wise and brave. How can that alien be compared to him?"
"That's right. You actually dared to challenge the authority of the Holy Temple of Light and Lord Gustav. You are really a group of extremely stupid ants. Hahahaha."
Listening to the flattery from everyone, Gustav looked extremely pleased, and the murderous intent on his lips became more and more obvious. He said grimly: "It won't be long before I destroy the city of that despicable alien!"
After hearing Gustav's words, not only the enemy generals, but even the surrounding enemy soldiers showed murderous intent and disdain on their faces, and they were obviously ready to attack at any time.
"My Lord, what should we do?!"
On our city wall in chaos, all the generals gathered around Lei Xiao, with helplessness and tension written all over their resolute faces.
In addition, Catherine, Louise, Cecilia and others who were also in a state of panic also gathered around.
Everyone understood clearly that all this happened too suddenly. If it continued like this, we would definitely lose.
"Your Highness, the enemy's sonic attack has a limited range. How about we retreat a distance first?"
Catherine frowned and thought for a moment, then made a suggestion to Lei Xiao.
"Right now, the enemy's morale is high, while ours is gradually declining. If we retreat now, the remaining fighting spirit of our soldiers will probably collapse in an instant, and it will be difficult to capture the enemy city. By then, the fate of the human world will be self-evident."
Under everyone's nervous gaze, Lei Xiao remained calm and said with a firm face: "If they want us to fail with such means, I'm afraid the enemy has overestimated their ability."
After saying that, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and powerful energy waves one after another instantly surged on the city wall.
