Chapter 1553 The Mysterious Knight
Chapter 1553 The Mysterious Knight
In the underground space where violent magic explosions and earth dragon roars were heard one after another, Lila's words immediately made our camp, which was already filled with an uneasy atmosphere, even more tense.
Even those ordinary stone giant soldiers who had experienced many battles soon noticed that in the direction of the mysterious giant city, a uniform and majestic momentum was rapidly approaching with an overwhelming force, and the momentum was extremely huge.
For a moment, many people, including the strong men around Lei Xiao, were surprised, and the accuracy of their attacks was obviously deviated, causing many attacks to brush past the hard scales or energy barriers of the earth dragons, only sparking a burst of sparks.
You know, with the sharing of Lei Xiao's divine power, although the strong men have the ability to cause damage to "Eclipse", the defense of those earth dragons whose strong scales are enough to rival those of giant dragons is already very high. Even with their own scales, they are enough to resist some not very strong attacks, even with the blessing of divine power.
What made everyone even more uneasy was that at least five or six half-step seventh-level earth dragons were rushing to the front, making it impossible for the attacks of half-step seventh-level strongmen such as Lei Xiao to immediately blow their opponents away.
Seeing that we seemed to be in a weak position, the attacks of those parasitic earth dragons became more unscrupulous. They kept attacking the barrier wall with their huge claws and sharp teeth, making the cracks in our absolute defense barrier more and more obvious.
"It seems that these Eclipses are planning to forcibly break through our absolute defense barrier before the power of the mysterious city arrives."
Lei Xiao looked at his opponent's increasingly fierce offensive and sensed the mysterious city's rapidly approaching power. His frown actually relaxed.
This was the first thing that came to my mind when Lila blurted out her concerns.
Just now, the mysterious city was ready to attack us, but it happened that the "Eclipse" shifted its target, so it was temporarily stopped.
However, right now, our battle with "Eclipse" is extremely stalemate, and the opponent is now trying to reap the benefits. We cannot rule out the possibility.
But judging from the current situation, our absolute defense barrier has not been broken yet. Although "Eclipse" has suffered a considerable blow, it is far from suffering heavy losses.
If the other party intends to reap the benefits, they should continue to lie dormant until both we and the "Eclipse" are defeated. They will never choose the time when we and the "Eclipse" are still in a stalemate.
From any perspective, this is not the best time to intervene.
But then again, faced with the "Eclipse" that is still pouring out, and only the strong people around us can cause damage to the "Eclipse", other places can only passively defend, so that the absolute defense barrier is on the verge of breaking.
Judging from the situation, compared with the aggressive "Eclipse", we are indeed much more passive now and are completely at a disadvantage. The opponent's decision to send troops at this point in time is not so much an attempt to reap the benefits as an attempt to come to our aid.
This is also the reason why my brows relaxed.
Although I don't know why the power of the mysterious city, which just now clearly regarded us as enemies and was even prepared to attack us, has now made a 180-degree change in attitude, this is the most reasonable explanation based on the current situation.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?!"
Feeling the power of the mysterious city getting closer, Lila looked over with a nervous look on her face.
Around Lila, Kayla and Peyton have begun to mobilize a large number of stone giant heavy infantry to form a defensive formation towards the direction of the mysterious giant city.
However, because the surrounding earth dragons and "Eclipse" were still attacking frantically, the overwhelmed stone giant soldiers were obviously in a state of difficulty in taking care of both ends, and they didn't know which side to defend first.
"Continue to maintain the current circular defense formation and surround the archers and magicians in the middle."
Lei Xiao gave orders to Lila without any hesitation.
"But Your Majesty, the enemy has at least two legions of cavalry, and we are all infantry. If we don't focus on defense, they can easily tear our circular defense apart!"
Upon hearing this, Payton blurted out anxiously, "Why not let me lead the elite soldiers to strike first before the enemy arrives, so as to slow down the enemy's offensive!"
After Payton finished speaking, several other stone giant generals nodded in agreement. Although the methods displayed by Lei Xiao did make them extremely admire him, it was their first time to fight side by side with the latter. At this moment of life and death, they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"Elder Peyton, I know your concerns. Just let me handle the power of the mysterious city. They are not necessarily our enemies."
Lei Xiao didn't have time to explain too much, he just nodded slightly.
Lei Xiao was well aware of the concerns of the stone giant generals.
Although he has already controlled the other side, it will not be a matter of a day or two to make these iron-blooded soldiers 100% convinced. Just as he thought at the beginning, this is also the best time for him to establish his prestige.
"They are not necessarily our enemies? Your Majesty, the human race, but..."
Payton obviously didn't understand what Lei Xiao meant, and there was still some hesitation on his resolute gray face. But at this moment, Lila's unquestionable voice rang out: "Second Elder, follow the orders of His Majesty the Human Race!"
"...obey!"
Looking at Lila's unwavering fair face, although Peyton and other stone giant generals had some doubts in their hearts, they had to take action immediately.
Seeing that everything was running smoothly and orderly again, Lila's beautiful eyes moved and fell on Lei Xiao with a nervous look on her face.
Although the stone giant chief quickly understood the meaning of Lei Xiao's words, he also thought that the other party might be our reinforcements. If we attack first, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to repaying kindness with resentment, and might even change the other party's attitude.
But in the final analysis, the other side has no reason to come to our aid, which means that there are still variables.
As the saying goes, the art of war is all about deception. If the enemy has anticipated our prediction and attacks us unexpectedly, it is not impossible.
"Don't worry, just leave it to me."
Lei Xiao certainly knew this, and had already prepared a seventh-level magic scroll of an ultra-large-scale ice-binding spell called "Breaking the Army Ice Chain", which was enough to instantly turn the entire land in front into a world of ice and snow.
If the opponent really does the opposite, then the scroll in his hand will be enough to restrain the opponent's steps, and then his fifth-level alchemy army and summoning scroll will also be able to severely damage the opponent.
Just as I was thinking this, with the sound of cavalry footsteps getting closer, at the other end of the amber barrier, a large cavalry indeed broke through the thick fog and galloped towards us.
These cavalrymen looked extremely similar to the human heavy cavalry. They were all clad in gray heavy armor that covered their entire bodies. Even the eye holes on their helmets had only a row of dots, so their true appearance could not be seen at all.
Not only that, even the war horses are covered in heavy horse armor, looking like mobile fortresses.
It is worth noting that those war horses all have a single horn protruding from their foreheads. They are also much stronger than ordinary horses and their appearance is quite similar to the rare unicorn.
As this powerful group of cavalry broke through the thick fog, the speed of the charge increased significantly. In almost the blink of an eye, they were only a few hundred meters away from our army.
Seeing these mysterious cavalrymen carrying heavy guns and shields approaching so close, everyone on our side couldn't help but swallow their saliva. For the enemy, charging across a distance of hundreds of meters was just a blink of an eye!
The feeling of oppression that was approaching at a very fast speed was no less than the "Eclipse" that was still rushing towards them frantically from all sides.
As for why those "Eclipses" are still attacking frantically, it is probably because they have determined that this mysterious cavalry will definitely not be our reinforcements. After all, we have no connection with this mysterious cavalry at all, and the other side just threatened to attack us.
By then, even if there was a three-way fight, Eclipse would naturally not be at a disadvantage.
In the center of the powerful men, Lei Xiao held a magic scroll in his hand and stared closely at the opponent's every move. If this cavalry crossed the amber barrier and charged straight towards us, don't blame me for using my ultimate move.
For a moment, Lei Xiao felt uneasy. If his guess was wrong, the situation would undoubtedly become more complicated.
Although the trump card I have is enough to inflict heavy damage on this mysterious cavalry, "Eclipse" will probably seize the opportunity to break through our absolute defense barrier.
In this extremely passive situation, even if Xiao Jie set up a new barrier in time, he would have to go all out and use the magic stone weapons to fight against these "erosions".
Feeling nervous, just when Lei Xiao was about to activate the scroll, at the moment when the mysterious cavalry was about to rush out of the amber barrier, they immediately split into two streams like a steel torrent, and rushed straight towards the parasitic earth dragon and "Eclipse" that were besieging us.
The reason why the other side chose to split their troops into two groups was obviously to bypass our camp that was surrounded in the middle!
In the next second, the cavalrymen in the front pointed their heavy spears directly at the parasitic earth dragons and "Eclipses" and stabbed them fiercely.
boom! boom! boom!
A series of deafening energy collision sounds rang out. Under the sweep of the cavalry's iron torrent, although those huge earth dragons were obviously much heavier and solid, they were soon toppled to pieces by the charge of the mysterious cavalry and were submerged in the iron torrent. They had no energy left to attack us.
"Your Majesty is right. This mysterious cavalry is indeed here to help us!"
After seeing this scene, both our warriors and the stone giant soldiers were extremely excited. They were all working hard to provide energy for the absolute defense barrier or assist the cavalry in attacking "Eclipse". Their morale was extremely high.
In the center of the crowd, Lei Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He waved his staff again and continued to attack those huge parasitic earth dragons.
Since these behemoths are obviously taller than the cavalry, with the strength of Lei Xiao and the other strong men, it is easy to carry out precise attacks as long as they keep their minds steady.
During this process, Lei Xiao further noticed.
Although the mysterious cavalry's charge was very impressive, it only broke up the formation of the Earth Dragon and "Eclipse" and did not cause any other substantial damage to the enemy.
This undoubtedly meant that this group of mysterious cavalry, like ordinary soldiers, did not have the ability to erase the "Eclipse". Instead, many of them fell under the feet of the parasitic earth dragons, or were even directly crushed to the ground.
"If that's the case, then how did the power of this mysterious city resist the Eclipse for such a long time?"
Just when Lei Xiao was puzzled, those parasitic earth dragons had obviously realized that they had no chance of breaking through our barrier. They roared angrily and drilled back into the ground with "Eclipse", leaving only huge holes scattered on the battlefield.
"Should we pursue the victory?"
Jasmine looked ready to fight and raised her eyebrows at Lei Xiao. Although her face was hidden in the hood, her voice was extremely excited and it was obvious that she was still not satisfied.
"Don't forget that the magical ley lines are still erupting. That's not a vast force that can be easily countered."
Lei Xiao decisively rejected the girl's idea and smiled helplessly.
The top priority now is to contact the power of the mysterious city as soon as possible. Only when we confirm that the other party is a friend and not an enemy, can we completely relax.
In front of Lei Xiao, Lila and other stone giant warriors also gathered again, especially Peyton, who said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I actually questioned your order just now, please punish me!"
After Peyton finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, and the other stone giant generals all did the same thing, feeling equally ashamed.
"You don't have to do this. We are all here to grasp the glory of victory."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped Payton up, smiling slightly.
After standing up again, there was obviously more sincere respect in the eyes of Peyton and other stone giant generals, and they stood aside obediently.
As for Lila and Keira, they naturally had the same look, waiting for Lei Xiao's next order.
"It's time to contact the mysterious city."
Lei Xiao nodded to the powerful men and walked to the edge of the absolute defense barrier.
Among the group of mysterious cavalry, there was a burly knight in gray armor who dismounted from his horse and came to Lei Xiao with a few knights.
"Thank you for your timely assistance."
Lei Xiao nodded to the other party and said first: "Please rest assured, we have no intention of coveting your city."
"You, the human race, are the leader of these half-giants?"
The other party just waved his hand slightly and asked a question for no reason.
The other person's voice sounded old and experienced, and it was the owner of the angry roar just now.
"Yes, the purpose of our coming here is to quell the outbreak of this magical leyline."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and answered the other party's question.
"Come with me."
The strange mysterious knight didn't say anything else. He turned around and motioned Lei Xiao and others to follow him.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment. (End of this chapter)
