Chapter 1378 Rescue and Fierce Fighting
"Guys, look at the ridiculous absolute defense barrier of the human race. It is full of obvious cracks. They are at the end of their rope!"
Under the Ice Stone City where the roar of magic cannons continued, the Scarred Lich's twisted and withered face was full of madness and mockery. He said to the surrounding liches through magic communication: "Follow me and continue to move forward. We will soon be able to attack the land favored by the gods!"
Hearing the Scarred Lich's unbridled voice, the other liches also began to stir. With ferocious and terrifying faces filled with murderous intent, they began to command their undead armies to advance with a grin, apparently believing that the Ice Stone City in front of them was already in their pockets.
Just as the morale of the liches was high and they were ready to move forward, there was a completely different scene on the walls of Icestone City.
Looking at the absolute defense barrier above their heads that could break at any time, and the dense black magic artillery fire that seemed like the end of the world, although our soldiers did not retreat, many of them were pale-faced, and they just gritted their teeth and held on to their positions with their will.
All human soldiers, including the half-elves of the Moon-Chasing Clan, understood clearly that behind them were not only friendly forces besieging another enemy force, but also the human territory. Even if they were completely devoured by the opponent's terrifying black magic artillery fire, they could not retreat a single step!
However, even though the soldiers were ready to die, the atmosphere of despair was spreading wildly on the city walls. No matter how the surrounding generals shouted and encouraged, it was still difficult to raise the morale that had fallen to the bottom.
"Miss, facing such a fierce army of undead, the human soldiers who are in a completely different dimension did not retreat or collapse. This is indeed admirable, but that's all. The gap in strength between the two sides is too great. Once the barrier collapses, these soldiers will disappear in an instant."
The old light half-elf Myron had a look of respect and helplessness on his face. He said anxiously to Ruth, who had just finished casting a spell, "It seems that the human emperor cannot convince the dark elves. Let's prepare to evacuate. I will fight to the death to protect the young lady."
After saying this, the helpless look on Myron's old face became more obvious.
Originally, he and the eldest lady had chosen to cooperate with the young human emperor because they had seen his drastic measures and courage and determination that were beyond the reach of ordinary people during the previous battle for the mine.
They didn't expect that such a powerful enemy as the Lich would appear halfway. If the main force of the light half-elves were here, they would not be afraid of these evil spirits dancing with death. However, there were only ten of them, so they had to find a way to protect themselves.
What made Myron even more regretful was that he was only one step away from the black crystal ball, but now he had to find another way, but the prerequisite was to ensure Ruth's safety.
"No, Elder Myron, it's not time to give up yet."
Ruth's fair face was full of determination. Although she was already out of breath due to the excessive consumption of magic power, she still shook her head and said, "I believe he can do it."
"Miss, now is not the time to be stubborn. If you make a mistake, the entire light half-elves will be in an irretrievable situation!"
Seeing that the absolute defense barrier above his head was becoming thinner and full of cracks, the anxiety on Mellen's face became more and more obvious. He persuaded: "Miss, please put the overall situation first and evacuate with us quickly. The human race is doomed to fail!"
After Myron finished speaking, the other powerful light half-elves all nodded in agreement, hoping that Ruth would leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
"I understand your thoughts, but if the human race really fails, the mine will fall into the hands of these enemies. Do you think we still have a chance to obtain the crystal ball? By then, our race will still be doomed to annihilation."
The determination in Ruth's starry eyes became stronger and stronger, and she responded without hesitation: "Now the only way for us to obtain the crystal ball is to advance and retreat together with the human race! It is also the only chance for our race to avoid annihilation!"
"But the eldest lady..."
Just as Myron tried to persuade Ruth again, she suddenly brightened up her eyes and pointed to a corner of the battlefield excitedly, saying, "Look!"
Looking in the direction of Ruth's finger, Myron and the other light half-elves opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief.
I saw an equally lightless steel army, as if it suddenly appeared in the darkness, and went straight to the left wing of the attacking undead army.
This is not the end yet. On the right wing of the Undead Army, an unfamiliar steel army suddenly appeared and launched a fierce attack towards the Undead Army.
Under the pincer attack from these two sudden unfamiliar armies, the undead army was caught off guard and immediately fell into chaos. The originally extremely fierce magical artillery fire was obviously much sparser, which obviously caught them off guard.
"It's reinforcements! Our Emperor has really brought reinforcements back!"
Seeing this scene, the whole Bingshi City was suddenly filled with joy. All the soldiers were shouting long live the emperor in excitement. The morale that had hit rock bottom suddenly rose high and reached its peak. Many soldiers were even so excited that they burst into tears, with expressions of reverence, and kept chanting Lei Xiao's title of emperor.
Because of Lei Xiao's action, not only did he save them and their friendly forces in the rear, he also saved the entire human territory!
For a moment, the magical artillery fire and arrows on the city wall, which had been extremely weak, became dense again and coordinated with the reinforcements below to attack.
"What do you think? Everyone, I knew he would succeed!"
Feeling the extremely exciting and fiery atmosphere on the city wall, Ruth's fair and delicate face was also full of excitement, and she began to command the priest corps to continue to launch group spells.
“I didn’t expect he actually did it.”
Myron's wrinkled old face was full of surprise, but it soon turned into joy and excitement. He also drew his bow and arrow and attacked along with our excited soldiers.
Under the Ice Stone City, the Undead army, which had just advanced a little, was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
"Are they actually a group of dark elves that look even more tattered than our undead army? And there are some affiliated forces that have long been destroyed? And they are all fourth-level legions?!"
After hearing the magical communication from the flank lich, the scarred lich's dry face was filled with shock and surprise, and his previous high spirits had long since disappeared.
"Yes, some of them even have pickaxes and shovels! It's absolutely weird!"
Another lich with a sharp voice immediately came out from the magic communication, and said in a panic: "The most important thing is that our absolute defense barrier is fragile in front of them."
Before the Sharp Lich's words fell completely, the crisp sound of glass breaking was suddenly heard, followed by the Sharp Lich's terrified scream, and the magic communication was interrupted.
"Where on earth did these bastards come from?!"
A trace of exasperation flashed across the Scarred Lich's dry face again, and he began to command the legion to retreat hastily.
The Scarred Lich clearly understood that the Sharp Lich was located on the weakest flank of the Undead army, and the absolute defense barrier was only at the level of a third-order legion, so it was not surprising that it was quickly defeated.
But what he found hard to accept was that the Ice Stone City in front of him was already within reach, but now he had to turn around and deal with these dark elves of unknown origin!
Otherwise, once the enemy penetrates the weak flank of the Undead army, they will undoubtedly be caught in a situation where they will be attacked from both sides.
"My Undead Legion is an invincible fourth-order legion. No matter where those weird dark elves come from, they can never stand in my way!"
As the Scarred Lich thought so, he continued to command other subordinate liches to move towards the left wing of the nearest undead army.
The liches in other vanguard legions also reacted extremely quickly and made the same move, sending reinforcements to the nearest flanks.
During this process, the Scarred Lich kept hearing the latest battle reports. In a short period of time, two undead legions on the left wing had been completely destroyed by the sudden attack of the dark elves, and even the liches who were the commanders were not spared.
"What a bunch of incompetent rubbish! We are controlling a huge army of undead, a terrifying force of the dead. How could they retreat so easily?"
The scarred lich spat and quickened his pace.
It didn't take long before the team led by the Scarred Lich arrived close to our reinforcements.
I saw that the Undead Army that was confronting our reinforcements head-on was still losing ground. Dark Elf soldiers were waving their weapons wantonly in the sea of bones. The remains of skeleton soldiers that were smashed and shattered by shovels and pickaxes were scattered all over the ground, making the scene look messy.
"These useless third-level undead legions, I want to see what they can do to me."
The scarred lich let out a long, piercing howl and rushed forward with his army.
You know, the vanguard team led by the Scarred Lich consists of two fourth-level Undead Legions and five third-level Undead Legions. It is undoubtedly the most powerful Undead force around.
Moreover, the absolute defense barrier of this undead force had long been integrated into one, and its strength was by no means comparable to the absolute defense barrier of the legion level. This was the main reason why the soldiers of Ice Stone City had been unable to break through the opponent's barrier.
When they got closer, the Scarred Lich discovered that this army composed of Dark Elves and a small number of Annihilation tribe was poorly equipped. Except for a few soldiers holding normal weapons and equipment, the others were holding mining picks, shovels, and hammers, and some were even pushing mine carts, which looked out of place.
"I just don't believe this bunch of rabble can be that capable!"
The scarred lich sneered, and thousands of bone blades shot out from the bone staff in his hand, flying towards the dark elves that were nearby at a high speed.
At the same time, the Skeleton Mage Group and Skeleton Archer Group in the rear also showed their abilities. Countless bone spears and bone arrows were flying in the sky, following the bone blades, which could be described as overwhelming.
However, just as these deadly necromancy spells and physical attacks filled with death cut through the night sky and were about to approach the dark elves, they suddenly stopped in mid-air and then fell to the ground inexplicably and powerlessly.
Until this moment, a translucent magic barrier that was imperceptible to the naked eye slowly emerged. This was obviously the key to the sudden failure of the opponent's attack.
In the center of the dark elf camp, rows and rows of dark elf magicians with tattered robes and mottled staffs in their hands were chanting in low voices to keep the magic barrier running.
In front of the dark elf magician camp, a tall and straight human youth stood with his hands behind his back. It was undoubtedly Lei Xiao.
Seeing that the enemy's fierce attack was easily resolved, Lei Xiao nodded with great satisfaction, looked at the dashing and elegant female dark elf general beside him and said, "General Lianna, you did a good job."
"Your Excellency is too kind. This is just normal. Gravity barrier, routine operation, nothing serious."
The female dark elf general nodded woodenly, with a calm look on her fair face.
This dark elf general named Lyanna is Jace's lieutenant general and was once a powerful demigod.
After Lei Xiao arranged for Jace to lead the most elite dark elf army to block the trolls and tauren in the canyon, he led the dark elf force headed by Lianna to attack the undead army from the left wing. On the right wing, the dark elves with almost the same configuration attacked.
These dark elf magicians who use gravity barriers are just a group of ordinary miners.
In the process of mining, if you encounter large ores or some rare resources with their own magic barriers, it is naturally time for the magician miners to take action. In order to transport super-heavy large ores, it is not surprising that these magicians are almost all gravity-based.
As for why this force mainly composed of dark elf miners is so powerful, in addition to the inherent advantage of being united, the most important point is that most of the miners were once dark elf soldiers with extremely rich combat experience and combat capabilities. Under Lianna's command, it is not difficult for them to form a battle formation.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart while feeling fortunate that he had provided reinforcements in time.
It was just an ordinary dark elf mine, but it was full of hidden talents. Even though their strength was only one tenth of what it was back then, they still managed to defeat the Undead army without any chance of fighting back. This shows how glorious and powerful the civilization of all races was at that time.
"Sir, it seems that everything is going in an orderly manner!"
On the other side of Lei Xiao, Xiao Jing blinked her long eyelashes and took a step forward, looking very excited.
"It's all thanks to you and these brave dark elves."
Lei Xiao casually touched the other person's head, his expression became serious again, and he nodded slightly, "But the battlefield is full of variables. We must not relax until the moment when the scales of victory are completely tipped."
Hearing this, Xiao Jing nodded as if she understood, and then obediently stood back beside Lei Xiao.
"What a jerk! It's actually an extremely rare gravity barrier. Don't think you can shake my army of undeads with this!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the Scarred Lich also reacted quickly, and the anger on his withered face quickly turned into gloom.
A grim smile appeared on the corners of his dry mouth, and he continued to lead the army of undeads to rush towards Lei Xiao and the dark elves. (End of this chapter)
