Under the pale and dim moonlight, the densely packed dark magic artillery fire from below the city tore through the night sky. In the blink of an eye, we were already very close to our city wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dark energy shock wave exploded with a deafening sound, setting off a howling wind, and immediately stirred up the absolute defensive barrier of Ice and Stone City, causing the entire city to tremble.
I saw that as one after another dark shock waves exploded, countless viscous black liquids filled the air crazily. Once it came into contact with the barrier wall, thick black smoke sizzled out, which was obviously very corrosive.
Effect.
As the enemy's artillery fire raged wildly, despite the barrier, a pungent smell of rot and fishy smell began to permeate the city walls, making many soldiers look like they were about to vomit, and their faces became paler.
"Lord, the enemy's magical artillery fire is not only extremely corrosive, but can also spread poisonous miasma. Although Ice Stone City's absolute defensive barrier can completely block these, the pungent smell cannot be completely purified.
"
A trace of solemnity and shame appeared on Shuang's fair face. She shook her head at Lei Xiao and said, "I'm sorry, Lord. With the blessing of the light attribute "wooden board", although the power of Ice Stone City's energy-gathering array has increased a lot,
, but many of the damaged magic circles and enchantment subordinates have still not been successfully repaired, and the subordinates have lost too much memory, otherwise the city walls would not be filled with stench and the entire city would be shaking due to such an attack."
"Shuang, no need to apologize, this is not your fault."
Lei Xiao waved his hand to the former attendant of the god and said in a gentle voice: "I am extremely lucky that you can still stand by my side after experiencing the blank era."
After saying that, Lei Xiao's solemn eyes moved and landed on the barrier wall above his head.
Under the raging fire of the opponent's artillery, the magic luster emitted by the barrier wall was obviously dimmed. This was only the enemy's first wave of attacks.
But what is certain is that if the energy-gathering array could not be further repaired, I am afraid that the barrier wall would no longer exist now.
Not only that, at present, the entire city has been shrouded in thick black smoke from the opponent, which has greatly affected our vision, but our attack just now had little effect on the opponent's camp.
This undoubtedly means that in just the first back-and-forth attack and defense, our overall situation is at an absolute disadvantage, and what we face is only the opponent's dozen vanguard legions.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered again, and he focused his attention on the surrounding soldiers.
I saw Chiduo directing the half-elves of the Zhuyue clan and the long archers of the human clan to fire volleys of sacred arrows, while the magician was trying his best to replace the magic light crystals and charge the magic cannon on the city wall.
The magic cannons on the city wall are all at the third level, and the magic power consumed when firing is ten times that of the second level magic cannon.
In other words, the magic power contained in a magic light crystal can only be used to fire the third-order magic cannon once. This undoubtedly limits our firepower to a great extent. After all, Ice Stone City's magic light crystal reserve is only 10,000.
The remaining grains are obviously a little stretched on such a huge battlefield.
As for the magician to actively charge, it requires at least a team of third-level elite magicians or a squadron of second-level magicians to work together. This is also a huge challenge for us.
"Fortunately, I still have two of the most elite third-level magic legions under my command, which has greatly alleviated the shortage of magic light crystals. However, charging the magic cannon is also a matter of extremely draining one's own magic power. I hope
You can hold on a little longer with the help of the magic potion."
Lei Xiao's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and he looked down at the city through the thick smoke.
Although I try my best to think on the bright side in my heart, it is not difficult to see from the current battlefield situation. As the opponent's follow-up legions arrive one after another, they are pouring increasingly fierce dark magic artillery fire on us. Our disadvantage.
is being further expanded.
After all, we only have two third-level magic legions, and the opponent's equal magic combat power combined is probably at least ten times more than ours, which shows.
I can even clearly feel that as the opponent's offensive becomes more fierce, not only the earth-shattering magic artillery fire becomes more deafening, but the morale of our soldiers is also rapidly declining.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to our side. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."
Bing Lao's wrinkled old face was full of solemnity, and he whispered to Lei Xiao: "If this situation continues, let alone blocking the opponent, I am afraid that Bingshi City will be breached by the opponent soon."
Bing Lao, who has an extremely close connection with Bingshi City, knows the situation of Bingshi City best.
Bing Lao could even clearly feel that even though all the energy-gathering arrays in Ice Stone City were operating at the highest power, the energy that could be stored was still decreasing rapidly.
"I know, but like I just said, we have no way out."
Lei Xiao wiped away the sweat on his forehead, without any wavering in his eyes.
The communication subordinates deployed to the friendly forces just now have sent news one after another. After Broy, Chris, Fanny and others returned to their respective positions, the originally panic-stricken siege force was quickly stabilizing and fighting.
The tauren and troll armies trying to break through became increasingly passive and almost lost the space to break out.
But the other party didn't know what method they used. Even though it was covered with powerful magical firepower from our side, the absolute defensive barrier still stood firm.
In other words, although our siege force has gradually stopped declining, the opponent's combat effectiveness has not been weakened. The two sides are temporarily in a stalemate where neither can do anything to the other.
This undoubtedly means that at least until our siege force breaks through the opponent's absolute defensive barrier and eliminates the opponent's living strength, Ice Stone City still has to stop this undead army, otherwise we will be defeated like a mountain and there will be no hope.
Any opportunity to turn around.
By then, not only will the ancient mine be saved, but if the opponent continues to advance forward, not only our allies whose vitality has not yet recovered, but also the human territory will be completely exposed to the opponent's iron hoof, and the consequences will undoubtedly be disastrous.
"So, I have to resist the opponent no matter what, because I have no way to retreat."
Lei Xiao's gaze became more determined, but beads of sweat continued to drip down his forehead.
Facing more than 50 Tier 3 undead legions and such fierce magical artillery fire, even dozens of Tier 6 powerhouses would probably be annihilated in an instant. It’s hard to know how to deal with it.
It is no exaggeration to say that since his arrival, he has never encountered such a desperate situation on the battlefield.
"Holy Mist of Light!"
Following Ruth's cold shout, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out, instantly dispersing the thick black smoke that affected our vision, and even the stench on the city wall was swept away.
But that was all. The golden light filled the air, and although the field of vision became much clearer, the power of the opponent's magic cannon did not decrease at all, and it still shook the ground everywhere.
This is not over yet. Under the city wall, there are at least 30 mighty undead legions, trying to surround our city, and the following 20 undead legions are all over the mountains and plains, and they are already very close to us.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
The opponent's firepower continues to increase, but our obviously inferior magic artillery fire has become weaker, and the morale on the city wall has become even lower.
It's no wonder. After all, even though we used the sacred and light magic cannons to restrain the opponent, we still couldn't do anything to the opponent. However, our absolute defense barrier became increasingly bleak, and the gap in strength was self-evident.
Metaphor.
The enemy's indiscriminate bombardment of dark magic artillery fire is quickly shattering the light of victory in the hearts of our soldiers until everything merges into endless darkness.
On the ice stone city wall, which is as wide as a square, an aura of despair is quietly filling the air.
Not only was Lei Xiao sweating all over his face, but our generals who were shouting commands around him also had the same look, including Ruth and other bright half-elves who were casting spells.
"Priests and magicians of the human race, lend me your power again!"
Ruth's body was shining with golden light, the staff in her slender hand was pointing directly at the undead army formation below the city, and she shouted coldly: "The Wrath of the Glorious Dragons!"
As Ruth sang the words, a giant golden magic circle unfolded, causing the entire Ice Stone City to glow with golden light.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, the golden magic dragons roared and roared out of the magic array, flying straight towards the enemy military array below the city. Dozens of them flew out.
For a time, the radiance emitted by the magical dragons illuminated the heaven and earth, making everything sparkle. Even the darkness and death that permeated the city weakened a lot.
Seeing this shocking scene, all our soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but perked up and opened their eyes wide.
However, before our soldiers had time to rejoice, dozens of deep black death rays suddenly shot out from the enemy formation, pointing directly at our magic dragon.
Not surprisingly, the harsh black death light penetrated the huge golden body and accurately hit all the golden magic dragons.
The next second, before the dozens of golden magic dragons even approached the enemy formation, they whimpered and turned into countless golden energy particles, and were soon swallowed up by the night without a trace.
"this……"
When our soldiers saw this, their pale faces immediately began to look at each other, and they all saw a hint of obvious panic in each other's eyes.
"Sorry, Your Majesty the Human Race, this is already the most powerful group spell I can cast."
Ruth's delicate face was pale, and her chest wrapped in a golden robe kept rising and falling, obviously she had almost exhausted her magic power.
Not only Ruth, but also many of the other bright half-elf magicians and our priests behind her collapsed on the ground, looking extremely weak.
"It's not your fault, it's because your opponent was too aggressive."
Lei Xiao nodded to Ruth and directed the priests to take out potions to restore magic power immediately.
At this time, Lei Xiao could clearly feel that after the attack was easily resolved by the opponent, the morale of our soldiers had almost dropped to the bottom, and many of their faces were filled with uncontrollable fear and tension.
This is no wonder, after all, the human race has just entered the Outland not long ago, and has not yet become accustomed to the environment in the Outland, facing alone an almost invincible and powerful opponent. It is not surprising that this situation occurs.
"It's really a complete desperate situation."
Lei Xiao's eyes became more solemn, and his brain was spinning crazily, looking for opportunities to win, although he himself knew that this hope was extremely slim.
Unknowingly, under the dense magical firepower of the opponent, subtle cracks quietly appeared in Ice Stone City's absolute defensive barrier.
While Lei Xiao on the Ice Stone City Wall was in a state of distress, the other friendly troops who were besieging the tauren and troll army in Wangying Canyon also had the same appearance.
"What on earth is going on?!"
On a towering mountaintop, I saw the dragon face of Prince Zhanyi Davis full of impatience. Looking at the tauren and troll army in the canyon where the absolute defense barrier was still shining, he almost roared: "
The opponent's absolute defensive barrier has not been broken yet?"
"Your Highness, this is indeed extremely weird. It stands to reason that the other party would never be able to persist until now."
Gnar looked at the surrounding magical artillery fire and arrows pouring into the canyon. The dragon's face was full of confusion and said: "I'm afraid the other party used some unknown method. Even we used our own absolute
Even the collision of defensive barriers is difficult to shake the opponent, but our barrier is easily shattered!"
When he said these helpless words, Nall's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "The general knows, those lichs must have provided some kind of help to the other party!"
"I know this very well. The problem is that if we don't destroy the opponent, we will be destroyed. Although the human emperor is very capable, the opponent's reinforcements are the undead army led by the lich. Even if
Even with the strength of our entire kingdom, we will never be a match for the other party’s reinforcements!”
Davis's impatient dragon face gained a touch of solemnity, and he frowned and said: "But the problem is that we can't even break through the absolute defensive barrier of the turtle in the urn!"
Not only Prince Zhanyi Davis, but also in other locations in Wangling Canyon, Broy, Chrissy, Fanny, and Shult were all shouting hoarsely, trying their best to command their soldiers to move into the canyon from all directions.
The opponent attacks.
However, as the attack continued, apart from the fact that our generals became more and more impatient, it obviously had little effect and was basically helpless against the enemy.
At the same time when our generals were helpless and the morale of the soldiers was quietly low, in the huge canyon filled with smoke, the tauren and troll camps that were completely covered by magical artillery fire and dense arrows were in a different situation.
