Chapter 1467 Desperate Situation and Counterattack
On the battlefield filled with dark fog and violent violence, killing was rampant everywhere.
As the enemy's overwhelming and fierce offensive swept in madly, the wind and clouds suddenly surged above our army formation at the center of the storm, stirring up dense waves of energy on the wall of the barrier, just like a continuous storm falling on a calm lake.
After suffering a fierce siege from the enemy, the faces of our warriors, including Xiao Jie, who were providing energy for the defensive barrier, became paler and paler. Many of them even had their bodies trembling slightly, which was obviously a sign that the magic power in their bodies was being drained away at a very fast speed.
Lei Xiao looked at this scene with an even tighter frown on his face.
After the fierce battle in the dungeon before, a lot of energy had been consumed in the bodies of our strong men. Coupled with this strange and thick black fog, which also has the effect of slowing down energy recovery and energy flow, it is undoubtedly adding insult to injury, not to mention that the opponent's offensive is extremely fierce.
His eyes moved to the absolute defense barrier that was constantly vibrating above his head, and Lei Xiao took further notice.
The opponent's fierce attack had just begun, and the magical light flickering on the barrier wall had dimmed a lot, and it was obvious that it could not last much longer.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
There was only solemnity on Xina's fair face, and she asked with a frown.
After Sina finished speaking, Loris also walked over with the same solemn expression on his face.
Even these two battle-hardened leaders had never encountered such a difficult and desperate situation on the battlefield.
Although neither of them said it out loud, just as Lei Xiao had just thought, our side is now in a dilemma. If the situation continues like this, let alone invading the opponent's giant skeleton city, we are only one step away from being completely wiped out.
Faced with such an extremely passive situation, we seem to have only one way out, which is to choose to break out and evacuate here first and then make plans, perhaps we can still get a glimmer of hope.
Looking at the two people's extremely solemn expressions, Lei Xiao had naturally thought of this a long time ago.
But since before we entered this deadly place, we have already thwarted the Lich's conspiracies and attacks one after another, and we have also awakened Old Gary and others. Now is the time when our forces are at their strongest and the enemy is at its weakest. If we cannot wipe out the opponent now, there will undoubtedly be many more variables in the future.
Furthermore, faced with many uncertainties such as the Cataclysm and the Lords' Competition, the time he had left was extremely limited and he had no time to waste here any longer.
Just as Lei Xiao's brain was spinning rapidly, Old Gary came over with Youyou, nodded heavily and said, "Your Majesty, perhaps I have a way to reverse the situation again, but I need your full cooperation."
"Oh? You can say whatever you want, old leader!"
Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
"Here's the thing."
Old Gary didn't hesitate and told the specific method.
After hearing the other party's words, not only Lei Xiao, but also Xina, Loris and others were all excited and became high-spirited again.
If everything goes well, this will indeed be the key to our turning the tide of the battle!
But what cannot be ignored is that this is indeed something that can only be achieved if Lei Xiao takes action personally.
Moreover, once the decision to carry out this plan is made, we will lose the best opportunity to break out and evacuate, but everyone obviously can no longer care about that.
To be more precise, if we place our hopes on others, both Sina and Loris must think carefully. After all, if we fail, we will be doomed.
But if it was Lei Xiao, they would not have any hesitation, because this young human emperor had won their trust and respect with practical actions.
"Understood, old leader, we will start the action immediately."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, nodded heavily and said: "You just need to do your best to stabilize the absolute defense barrier, and leave the rest to me."
As Lei Xiao finished his words, everyone immediately began to move, dispersing in the thick black fog.
However, although we started an orderly and intense operation, the enemy's siege firepower was still extremely fierce, causing our absolute defense barrier to become increasingly shaky.
"Master Chief, they will soon be unable to hold on!"
On the wall of the huge white city, a gray-robed lich with a face full of contempt and a sinister smile said to the lich leader beside him: "My undead army has surrounded them. They can't fly away even if they have wings!"
As soon as the grey-robed lich said this, the other liches around him echoed him one after another. Their mummy-like faces were covered with grim and disdainful smiles, and they looked down at our army formation that was covered by countless bone spears and arrows.
It seemed that in the next second, our shaky absolute defense barrier would completely collapse, and then it would surely be the killing feast they were most looking forward to.
"This group of ants knew they were trapped, but they still chose to stay where they were and not even break out. What on earth do they want to do?"
Listening to the ridicule of other liches around him, the lich leader folded his arms and stared at our army formation. A hint of coldness and contemplation emerged on his withered face covered with magical lines.
"Don't worry, leader. In my opinion, the other party is already trapped. That's why he doesn't know what to do. He must be scared out of his wits right now, right?"
The gray-robed lich's skinny and dry face was still full of recklessness. He laughed and said, "It's all because of the leader's godly use of troops. They will all be turned into undead soon."
As soon as the grey-robed lich said this, the other liches around him echoed him one after another, causing sinister smiles and joy to fill the white city walls.
"No, there must be something strange about this."
The lich leader thought for a moment, and then ordered the gray-robed lich: "Take 70% of the defenders here and go out of the city to assist the undead army below to besiege the group of ants. Make sure to destroy them as soon as possible. This leader will turn them all into dust!"
"Yes, my Lord."
Upon hearing the sound, even though the gray-robed lich didn't think we could hold out for much longer, he still immediately led a group of liches and undead and headed out of the city at high speed.
Soon, when the defenders led by the gray-robed lich joined the siege, and with the undead army still rushing in from all directions, the offensive we faced became more and more fierce.
As the pressure on our absolute defense barrier increased dramatically, although all our powerful magicians joined in the energy supply, cracks inevitably began to appear on the barrier wall, and were expanding rapidly.
Under such intensive, crazy and fierce offensive, once the absolute defense barrier is broken, our fate will be obvious.
"Everyone, give it your all. We must not fall here!"
I saw Xina standing in front of the energy supply array, inputting magic power into the array with all her strength, and shouting: "The human emperor is leading people to fight for our hope of reversal, and we must buy enough time for the human emperor!"
Hearing Xina's words, the magicians' spirits were lifted and they all showed determined expressions. With everyone's concerted efforts, some tiny cracks on the barrier wall were being repaired.
However, this good situation did not last long. As several powerful water fairies fell down due to overdrawn magic power, the barrier wall that had been repaired somewhat began to crack rapidly again, causing the pressure on others to increase sharply in an instant.
Faced with increasingly heavy defense pressure, the speed of magic power consumption naturally increased. It didn't take long before more and more of our magicians fell down with pale faces. Many of them even vomited blood and suffered a considerable backlash from the magic.
The other physical warriors looked at the cracks in the barrier wall above their heads spreading rapidly and could only worry but could do nothing. While taking care of the fallen magicians, they were also prepared to fight a desperate battle with the opponent, and they all looked like they were ready to die.
Everyone clearly understood that once the barrier wall was broken, we would be destroyed soon.
For a moment, even though everyone was trying their best to hide, an atmosphere of despair quickly spread among our troops, just like the cracked barrier wall above our heads.
"Hahaha, those ants won't be able to hold on any longer!"
In front of the dense army of undead, the gray-robed lich had a distorted and hideous face, and laughed wildly: "Leave that human emperor to me later, and I will turn him into my slave!"
"Hehe, then the leader of the Desert Alliance will be mine!"
"Then I'll just reluctantly accept the little lion from the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, haha!"
"Don't fight with me for it later. I have been wanting to turn the leader of the water goblins into a dead spirit for a long time!"
"I heard that the human emperor has a cold flame queen by his side. I'm very interested in her. I'll leave these to you!"
Hearing this, the other liches all rubbed their hands ready to fight, with playful expressions on their faces.
While acting unscrupulously, the liches were firing at full speed and commanding their undead to attack frantically. Some were even kicking and laughing wildly.
"Ants are ants. It seems that I am overthinking it."
On the wall of the huge white city, the Lich Leader looked down at our army which was on the brink of destruction with a look of disdain on his face, and turned to walk into the city.
But just as the Lich Leader took a step forward, our army formation, which was originally shrouded in black fog, suddenly surged with a golden energy wave, which spread rapidly around. The golden energy wave was visible to the naked eye and was extremely conspicuous in the thick black fog.
The golden energy waves moved at an extremely fast speed. In almost the blink of an eye, they had disappeared at the end of the sky, and were still surging.
"What happened? What was that just now?"
Faced with this sudden change, the liches quickly checked themselves, but found that they were not hurt at all.
"Haha, it seems that the human emperor is just bluffing!"
The gray-robed lich sneered and said with a look of contempt: "Continue to attack and grind those ants into bone dust!"
Hearing this, the other liches also gathered their minds and refocused their attention on our army formation which was only one step away from collapse.
But just when the liches were about to attack crazily again, they found that many undead around them had inexplicably escaped from their control, and golden lines were reflected on their bones.
Before the liches could react, they heard a sharp scream, and the shriveled head of the gray-robed lich was chopped off to the ground. The one who did it was a giant axe-wielding undead beside him.
Soon after, more screams began to be heard among the liches. Just like the gray-robed lich, many liches were caught off guard and killed by the undead with golden lines all over their bodies.
Along with the deaths of the liches, more ordinary undead also fell down due to the loss of their controllers. The enemy's dense army formation was filled with the wails and screams of the liches, and almost all of them were in a state of being unable to take care of themselves.
On the huge battlefield, wherever the golden wave swept through, not only the Undead army besieging us, but also the other Undead that were on their way, and even the Undead in the huge white city, all appeared in the same situation, causing the entire Undead army to be in chaos.
With this sudden change, the intensive offensive against us naturally disappeared, causing all our strong men to breathe a sigh of relief and cheer for joy.
"Your Majesty, you succeeded!"
At the core of our army, Loris, Sina, Old Gary and others all looked excited and gathered in front of Lei Xiao again.
"Thanks to all of you for fighting to the death to preserve the absolute defense barrier, and also thanks to the old leader for planting the seeds of hope for us to turn the tide of the battle."
Lei Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled faintly.
Let’s go back to a while ago. In fact, the method the old leader mentioned was very simple.
That is the same as what happened in the dungeon just now, further activating the magic imprints on other strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance.
Lei Xiao learned about this through the old leader's description.
It turned out that the soldiers of the Broken Valley Alliance who were trapped in the underground city at that time were as large as 30 elite legions, and all of them were experienced soldiers, and all of them had been engraved with the sacred mark by Youyou's secret method.
However, according to the leader's original idea, the seal would be activated immediately after the army was annihilated in the dungeon, so the coverage of the activated magic circle was limited to the dungeon.
After Youyou also fell into a deep sleep, a large number of soldiers of the Broken Valley Alliance were transformed into undead and deployed in various places by the liches, which meant that most of them had not been awakened yet.
Therefore, what Lei Xiao did was very obvious, which was to assist Youyou in rebuilding a larger activation array and awaken all the soldiers of the Broken Valley Alliance.
After all, Youyou is the only one who controls the activation array. It is impossible to deploy it in a short time. Only by using the mental communication between the stone elves can he inform other stone elves in time and assist them in deployment.
Lei Xiao has a group of stone elves including Xiao Jie, Xiao Jing, Xiao Zhao, Xiao Huan and Da Zhuang at his disposal. In addition, Lei Xiao, who has signed a contract with the stone elves, and several other direct subordinates can also communicate with the stone elves mentally, so they are able to provide assistance.
In particular, Lei Xiao, who had already entered the sixth level, played an important role, which enabled the new activation array to be deployed quickly.
"Then let us sound the clarion call for counterattack."
Lei Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he waved his hand with a proud look on his face. (End of this chapter)
