I don’t know how long it took, but the battle was still going on, but the scale of the beastmen had changed drastically compared to the beginning.
At the beginning of the war, they had more than 2,500 beastmen, but now they have less than a fraction.
This is partly because of the outstanding performance of long-range shooters such as Donna, but also because of the cavalry units such as Rissa Dilan who constantly attract the attention of some enemies and then divide and eliminate them. It also benefits from many summons and several large heads.
Excellent performance by cats.
But when it comes to the real center of the entire battlefield, there is no doubt that Li Wei is the center.
He had never used magic to bombard people as happily as he did today, and this time, he truly understood the powerful destructive power that a high-level mage could exert.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the opponent's average strength is too weak.
As for the heroic beast king, either his battle level is very low and has almost no battle attributes, or he is a pure combat hero. In short, the combat effectiveness of those beastmen is no different from wild monsters without the leadership of a hero.
With enough strength and a little bit of luck, Donna also successfully completed her trial of courage. First, she killed a few level 4 and 5 enemies alone, and the remaining miscellaneous soldiers were much easier to deal with.
However, they all know that such a smooth battle may not continue, because after paying an extremely heavy price, the beastmen finally succeeded in breaking through multiple gaps outside the temple, and a large number of troops began to pour into the interior.
.
Forced by helplessness, Zhou Miyin and others could only retreat backwards to avoid being besieged from all sides.
But probably because of the abyss rift or the influence of the demonic power on the beastmen, the refresh rate of their corpses is extremely slow.
After fighting for so long, the corpses around the temple were piled up into hills. This not only left them with no place to stay, but also oppressed their little room to move.
So much so that now, unless they retreat along the long stairs to the second floor, they have almost no way to retreat.
Similarly, the summoned troops sent by Levi in the distance have also disappeared without a trace. Many of the summoned objects have either been destroyed by demons, or were forced to return to their original worlds due to time constraints.
Although several big cats were extremely brave, they were unable to survive alone. Finally, under Li Wei's order, they followed their master's orders and lurked into the darkness to prepare for the next attack.
Similarly, the archers are also extremely tired. In the past period, they have shot tens of thousands of arrows, and even the ammunition carts have been emptied. Now they all rely on the reserves in the space ring.
Glancing at the Beast King who was still stationary in the distance again, Levi couldn't help but have a headache: "Damn it, aren't they said that Beastmen are extremely reckless and warlike? Why is this guy always hiding at the back and completely unwilling to participate in the battle himself?
?”
Everyone around them was speechless for a moment. In fact, they all completely understood what Levi meant, because if the beast king could be successfully killed, the remaining beastmen might not insist on attacking at all.
Although the beastmen are fierce and bloodthirsty and hate almost all races, another important characteristic of them is that they bully the weak and fear the strong. If they had the choice, they would never continue to attack.
The reason why they have not given up even though the casualty rate has exceeded 80% until now is because the opponent may have seen the hope of victory, but on the other hand it is entirely because there is the beast king behind them. Once they escape,
I'm afraid it will be torn into pieces by the Beast King's own hands immediately.
However, the beast king has been standing still. Although there are only four to five hundred beastmen left besieging the temple, it leads dozens of the most elite big horned beasts to stay far away on the edge of the battlefield.
And even though Julia and others tried to attract its attention several times before, even though it looked extremely angry, it did not choose to pursue it recklessly. It did not give them any chance to make a surprise attack.
Hearing Levi's words, Donna next to her was a little embarrassed, because she felt that the reason why the beast king seemed so cowardly was probably because he was frightened by the few arrows she had shot before.
But who would have thought that she could directly kill the opponent's health by hundreds of points with a single arrow?
The Beastmaster is obviously a hero-level unit, but its defense power is actually not as good as that of an ordinary tauren. Does it have no equipment except for the sword in its hand and the skull necklace on its chest?
At this time, Lilith's priest said anxiously: "Lord Levi, the melee troops below can't hold on any longer. Our magic potions and scrolls are almost exhausted!"
At the beginning, she always called Li Wei by his first name, and only wanted to call him "you". However, after experiencing the previous battle, she immediately readjusted her attitude, and there were more words and demeanor.
Lots of heartfelt respect.
Everyone took this change for granted, and did not despise her at all because of it, because the strong were destined to enjoy this kind of respect.
Levi frowned again. He felt that he had frowned more times today than in a week.
After first waving for Bayoru and Guangyakong to help, he then asked: "How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?"
For the enemies on the plains outside, he used to be able to kill dozens of them with a single micro-meteor, but for the enemies inside the temple, he really had nothing to do, because if his magic was too powerful, it was entirely possible that the entire temple would be destroyed.
They were all destroyed.
"It's not clear yet. Lord Tyrandor Star of Destruction only said that he would arrive as soon as possible!"
Although the other party only said this, she never doubted the authenticity of this sentence. Just as the beastmen especially hated the wood elves, the wood elves would do everything possible to kill any beastmen they encountered.
There are different opinions on the original source of this hatred, but it is generally believed that in addition to the wood elves' hatred of this chaotic evil race, the beastmen also seem to want to destroy the largest gathering place of wood elves - Athel Loren Forest. It is said that they
It is believed that there is a power that can directly connect to the bottomless abyss and summon an army of demons.
In order to completely eliminate the unrealistic idea of beastmen, the wood elves often use the most brutal methods to kill any beastmen they see, hear or even know.
And this man with the title of Star of Destruction is the most determined executor among them. You must know that he was originally a lord of the wood elves. In order to hunt down the beastmen everywhere, he even temporarily abandoned his territory.
Of course I'll come.
"Isn't it clear yet? Well, then prepare to activate the protective power of the temple to temporarily isolate the beastmen from the outside world."
"Then everyone kills the enemies who have invaded the interior as quickly as possible and reoccupies the important gaps!"
The priest immediately responded, but she still had some embarrassment on her face, because from her point of view, the troops below may not be able to kill all the enemies inside before the protective power completely disappears, and they still need the power from Lord Li Wei.
But of course Li Wei would not forget this, so he nodded affirmatively at the other party, and then quickly cast spells to summon an increasingly large number of alien allies.
Then he and Xiao Qi cast spells at the same time, summoning Holy Light Archon together.
The witch Tiva next to her looked at all this with envy, but then she turned to yearning, because she had already felt that as long as today's battle ended, she would be able to completely change her camp to absolute neutrality.
And by that time, she might be able to really start summoning Guang Yakong!
A few seconds later, a total of 9 Holy Light Archons appeared in front of everyone, 7 belonging to Li Wei and 2 from Xiao Qi.
Needless to say, the moment they all appeared, the nine Holy Light Archons had already gathered together, and then the light all over their bodies became more and more intense. Under Levi's order, they directly began to use their own energy.
Combined skills.
After nearly twenty seconds, a new creature about three meters tall and roughly human-shaped finally appeared in front of everyone.
But everyone can still recognize it, because apart from the fact that it is still emitting light and heat, its head and a pair of fists are basically the same as the original Holy Light Archon, both are round balls, except that
It's just a few times smaller.
Li Wei took a quick look and found that the other party's current name had become Holy Light Archon (Fusion State), and its level had been upgraded to Level 4. In addition to the significant improvement in various attributes, it still had low-altitude flight and
Two skills: Eternal Flame.
But what has really changed is its attack method. Now it can fire three strong light rays through its fists and head in sequence. This attack can also penetrate most magic shields or damage reduction, and the cooldown time is very short.
Short, as long as the magic is enough, it can attack the enemy almost continuously.
At the same time, it also has a new skill, which summons a storm of holy light that can last up to 3 seconds, causing up to 80 points of damage to all units in a circular area with a diameter of nine meters.
With its current total amount of magic, it is enough to be used twice and there is still some leftover, which is extremely scary.
If he hits it twice in a place where enemies are densely packed, and deals enough damage, his team's contribution may instantly rank among the top twenty, or even the top ten.
However, it is a typical glass cannon. Although its output is very impressive, it will basically break easily if it is touched a few times by the enemy. Moreover, the duration of this state is also extremely short, but after all, it is essentially a Tier 2 unit.
You can't expect too much from the combination.
Seeing this, Levi quickly gave it auxiliary skills including mage armor, protective arrows, false life, and secondary fox cunning, which greatly improved the opponent's survivability, and then sent the opponent directly downstairs.
Flying away, he nodded towards Lilith’s priest: “Let’s begin!”
The priest was immediately overjoyed, and she immediately knelt down on her knees and launched a silent prayer in the direction of the goddess statue.
Less than half a second later, a bright white light flashed through, and the entire temple was instantly covered with a translucent energy barrier.
At the same time, all the beastmen inside and outside the border had their eyes blurred for an instant, as if they had fallen into some sweet dream. Even if the sword was approaching, they were not aware of it.
Levi immediately understood that in addition to the basic protective function, this thing seemed to have some special powers from the goddess Lilith, because her priesthood was related to dreams.
Holy Light Archon took the opportunity to throw two Holy Light Storms at the densest place of beastmen. As the dazzling light exploded, dense damage figures suddenly appeared. In just such a moment, it directly caused a total of
Hundreds of points of damage, and this number is growing rapidly every second.
Although the conditions for merging are a bit harsh and the process is a bit long, the power now is really impressive.
But Li Wei decided to ignore all these for the time being. Now the task of killing all the enemies inside the temple was left to Holy Light Archon, Zhou Miyin and others. He also had to deal with those demons with Donna and others.
Although in the past half hour, after the summoned creatures and the big cats made a sneak attack, these demons have learned the mantra of "when friendly forces are in trouble, stay motionless", but now as the temple's defense becomes more and more
Difficulties, they seemed to have some thoughts again.
This is not possible, at least until you kill all the beastmen, you should continue to watch the fun honestly, otherwise I will let you taste the power of my magic!
So a few minutes later, when Holy Light Archon returned to its nine floating cannon state, and Zhou Miyin and others also killed all the beastmen inside the temple and reoccupied various key points, Donna expressed excitement,
Once again, they successfully drove away those cowardly demons.
But this time, Levi felt that something was not quite right, because these demons were too good at cooperating with him, and their behavior was too abnormal.
They advanced and retreated several times, but never achieved any results.
Don't they know that this will only lead to a wasted loss of troops?
Don't they know that if this continues, when all the beastmen are dead, they will either choose to escape, or they will end up with the same fate?
They don't look like they are here to fight at all, but more like they are here.
Wait, aren't you here to fight?
Levi's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly looked at Lilith's priest: "Is the thing in your hands what the beastmen want, or what the devil wants?"
Because this topic was too sensitive, the other party's expression changed slightly in an instant, but after thinking about all Li Wei's performance just now and the guidance given by the goddess, she recovered again: "It is a sealed thing of the Balor Fire Demon hero.
.”
"Hero of Balor Balrog"
Levi suddenly felt a headache. The types of demons were extremely complex. The demons that had appeared in front of him were only a small part of them. There were more and stronger demons in the bottomless abyss, but there was one thing that did not matter.
There is no doubt that the Balor Balrog is recognized as the strongest category among all demons.
It is said that they can even easily defeat all adult five-color evil dragons and five types of metal dragons in close combat.
If this kind of enemy becomes a heroic unit, it will definitely become more powerful.
Originally, he wasn't quite sure why the beastmen would go to such trouble to besiege instead of massacring the weaker-defended villages, but after knowing the truth, he felt that even if the force outside was expanded tenfold, it seemed that
It's completely excusable.
A Balor Fire Demon hero is much more precious than ten thousand low-level beastmen!
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh: "I think I probably know why these demons behave so strangely. They have never participated in the war. It is possible that they want to borrow the blood and souls of this place to carry out a large-scale sacrifice."
Sacrifice and summons.”
Originally, this place was not too far from the abyss rift, and now that there are so many dead people, the demons will of course take advantage of it.
Although most of the corpses are from beastmen, the demons can even use themselves as sacrifices, so how can they care about this?
In an ordinary small village, the sacrifice ceremony of hundreds of villagers can summon iron-mounted demons and fire-breathing hellhounds. So what kind of sacrifices of more than 2,000 combat-effective beastmen can be summoned?
Strong enemy?
The priests' expressions suddenly changed, and they were obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem. They suddenly felt regretful. Why hadn't they noticed this problem before?
After the brief shock, Levi quickly regained his composure. Now was not the time to hold people accountable or to blame others. That didn't matter at all. What really mattered was that they tried to change the status quo.
The temple's protection can only be used once. If the demons really held a sacrificial ceremony, what would they use to resist?
"Can your crystal ball see through magic effects such as illusions and invisibility? I suspect there is a cunning leader among those demons."
This is the only explanation that can be made at present. You must know that in the previous battle, the priests scanned back and forth at least dozens of times, but they did not find any demons with a special appearance. But now since he almost
It is certain that the other party has an existence that can use the sacrificial ritual, then the other party is likely to use the power of magic.
The priests suddenly realized this, and then they knelt down one after another and prayed to their respective goddesses. Then the crystal ball also emitted an unprecedented special light, shining directly on the location of the demons.
With their casting this time, it was as if a fog had been blown away, and a dozen new figures gradually appeared in the open space in front of the demons.
Although they have no wings on their backs, they have the devil's signature horns on their heads. They have almost no armor on their bodies, and only have a long whip of about six or seven meters in their hands. In addition to being about four or five meters tall, at first glance
Looking at other places, it looks like an enlarged version of the Horned Demon Overseers, and there is no halo of flames.
But this time, both Levi and the priests all let out bursts of inhales, because they unanimously recognized each other, which was the fifth-level soldier among the demons - the abyss demon!
In addition to their good attack power and attack range, their defense power and health are average at the same level. However, they have a very powerful skill, which is that they can sacrifice dead troops on the battlefield.
, and then summon the level 3 horned demon.
Even if all those who die are level 0 cannon fodder, they can still summon horned demons as long as there are enough. Even on some special occasions, they will deliberately send a large number of cannon fodder to die. After consuming the enemy's ammunition,
Then perform the sacrificial ceremony and summon a large number of horned demons to counterattack.
Because this skill is so powerful, in some remote areas, they are even given an extremely terrifying name - the Evil God King!
There are at least more than two thousand corpses from both the enemy and ourselves around the temple. Just thinking about it, Levi feels a bit toothache. God knows how many horned demons they can sacrifice?
And he also roughly figured out why the corpses of these beastmen hardly refreshed. Maybe it had nothing to do with the abyss rifts. It was entirely these evil god kings who were causing trouble. Just like the undead and ogres and other races, they can also pass through special
Strength prevents corpses from being refreshed by the system so quickly.
But more questions emerged. Why did the evil god kings clearly have the ability to sacrifice, but they remained silent and just pretended to be there?
Xiaoqi obviously attacked Gog and Magog with the summons before, but until they were killed, these guys didn't take action. It really didn't match the devil's fanatical warlike nature.
In other words, if they had sacrificed more horned demons as the beastmen continued to die in battle, I am afraid that the temple would have been breached by them long ago.
After much deliberation, there is only one possibility. Maybe they think the wait is worth it. There is something more important than summoning the Horned Demon!
Even if it was just a guess, Levi felt a little numb. If this was the case, shouldn't he think of a way out? Anyway, Donna's test of courage has been completed.
No, it’s better not to be too impulsive yet, because this battle may be fought under the watchful eyes of gods, and there may also be more than one god.
At this time, a sound like broken glass came from the crystal ball, and another fog was eliminated, but this time there was no Evil God King inside, instead there was a lonely figure.
It was a beautiful demon with red skin, horns on the top of its head, bat wings on its back, and extremely obvious female features.
What's more important is that the long whip in her hand, the armor on her body, and the necklace on her chest are all emitting magical light. She even holds a red magic book in her left hand, and the flames can't help but come from it.
Exuding from her body, she is a true flaming red lip, powerful but with magical power that even makes the scene observed in the crystal ball slightly distorted.
This directly makes everyone who sees her immediately realize one thing, she is undoubtedly a demon hero!
Almost at the same time they looked at each other, the other party seemed to notice that she had been discovered, so she first smiled back with an extremely weird smile, then raised her right paw and made a very provocative throat-cutting motion.
There was only a "bang" explosion, and the flames burst out suddenly, instantly turning the crystal ball into a fiery red. They could no longer see each other's condition, and were replaced by a name made of flames - Names!
