Chapter 1375 Desperate situation and turning point
Magical power erupted from all directions, almost reflecting the entire Wangqing Canyon like daylight. Sharp arrows pierced the sky and poured into the canyon.
The crackling sounds of magic cannon fire and the sound of arrows piercing the air echoed one after another in the canyon, and the waves of explosions were as dense as rain falling on the lake, which was shocking to the world.
However, even though the momentum of such an offensive was extremely shocking, the generals of the tauren and troll armies covered by the absolute defensive barrier all looked extremely calm.
After the wood fairies used fortification techniques to completely block the intersection of the canyon, the enemy army simply stopped advancing and began to counterattack our besieging army under the protection of the absolute defense barrier. It was obviously that they were holding on.
Waiting for reinforcements, waiting for the arrival of the undead army.
"Hahaha, dragon-faced people, flower flying insects, wood flying insects, tree people, dwarfs, and the most ridiculous human ants are all a bunch of incompetent trash. They actually try to destroy us. They are really setting themselves on fire.
Do your best!"
In the camp of the troll army, a tall troll general with disdain written all over his rough blue face was laughing crazily and unscrupulously, not afraid of the magic artillery fire exploding outside the barrier wall above his head.
He is the boss of the Troll Tribe Alliance and the leader of the Bone Crush Tribe, Rick.
Among the five major tribes in the Troll Tribe Alliance, the Bone Erosion Tribe is the most ferocious, and now its leader serves as the leader of the alliance, which shows.
"The leader is right, we have the enchantment crystal provided by the Lich, which contains the necromantic secret method that greatly enhances the absolute defense enchantment, and it exactly matches the absolute defense enchantment of our Bone Corrosion Tribe.
, after all, the root of both is the power of taboo, but we have done it more covertly!"
A skinny troll general with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks took a step forward, nodded and bowed in agreement: "A war just ended not long ago, which made the surrounding area full of death aura. As long as these auras have not dissipated, the trash around them can't be defeated.
I’m waiting for the absolute defensive barrier!”
"That's right. Thanks to the leader's foresight and foresight, he reached cooperation with the lichs in advance and used them as reinforcements. We are able to do so with ease. The leader is simply the light of the trolls like us!"
Another burly troll general was not to be outdone, and flattered him: "As long as there is a wise leader, the ancient mine will be ours sooner or later. How can it be the turn of ants like the human race to get involved!
"
"That's natural. How can we let our leader stumble with such a trap?"
Ricky's rough and ugly blue face looked extremely proud, and he said with an expression of contempt.
Although these troll generals said it so lightly, it was actually not the case.
At the beginning, the tauren and troll armies were deceived by us and thought they had an opportunity, and indeed they fell into the trap that we had already set.
However, the opponent's undead reinforcements and the suddenly strong absolute defense barrier were beyond our expectations, and this is why the current situation emerged.
"The leader is mighty! The leader is mighty!"
Amidst the compliments from all the troll generals, Ricky's face was filled with a look of appreciation, but it soon turned gloomy.
As the supreme commander of the trolls, he naturally clearly understands that whether it is the trap set by the Dragonborn and us, or the dwarves, tree men, wood elves and flower elves who are allied together, there must be a certain influence in it.
The power mediates in the middle, and only then can we achieve this step.
Otherwise, how could the dwarfs, treants and wood elves, who have always been wary of each other, be able to drive away the dragon entrenched nearby and then get involved in the ancient mine?
Not only that, during the siege of the Flower Fairy not long ago, the land of gods that suddenly appeared had appeared many times in the human realm, and its owner was naturally self-evident.
In other words, it was precisely because of the appearance of the human emperor that not only caused the troll army to suffer the previous disastrous defeat, but also caused the troll army to gain so many opponents!
"It's just a side dish I've been waiting for, and you're so arrogant!"
The rough blue face of Ricky was full of anger, and he said ferociously: "When we join the undead army, we will first eradicate the surrounding forces that do not know life and death, and then point our swords at the boundaries of the human race!"
Xilik's face began to become more distorted, and he said with a ferocious smile: "When we take control of the human race's territory, we will have a natural granary, hahaha!"
Hearing Ricky's laughter, the other trolls around him also looked eager to try, and started laughing wildly.
However, further away from Rick and the others, there was a group of troll generals whose armor textures were obviously different from the textures of their robes. They all looked at each other in silence, looking helpless.
As we all know, the trolls are composed of five major tribes. In addition to the Bone Corrosion Tribe where Rick is located, and the two Dog-Legged Evil Thorn Tribes and the Rotten Wood Tribe, there are also two other tribes, namely the Giant Tree Tribe and the Mountain Abyss Tribe.
These two tribes usually live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, advocating the power of nature. They are not as cruel and manic as the other three tribes headed by Bone Corrosion. They do not practice forbidden magic, and they have never caused any harm to the human race.
However, compared with the other three major tribes, they are obviously no match. In addition, they have been suppressed by the other three major tribes. Therefore, they have no right to speak in the Troll Tribe Alliance and can only be regarded as a reserve force.
In order to prevent the other three tribes from taking the credit.
Including this time, the Giant Tree Tribe and the Mountain Abyss Tribe also tried to prevent Xilik from being so unscrupulous, especially by cooperating with the unpredictable Lich, but the result was obvious and it had no effect at all.
And those troll generals who looked helpless and couldn't even enter the core command system came from the troll tribe of these two people.
"He actually plans to make enemies of all the surrounding forces, and even attempts to get involved in the rapidly rising human race. He is simply crazy!"
The face of an old troll general was full of indignation and weakness, and the wooden staff in his hand hit the ground heavily. This old man was none other than Haner Shu, the leader of the Giant Tree Tribe.
"Master, leader of the giant tree, please calm down. Be careful, the wall has ears. That guy is gaining momentum now, and we can't compete with him at all."
Another strong female troll general lowered her voice and said: "If that guy finds out, our tribe will even be in disaster."
"Leader Shanyuan, I know your concerns, but if you continue like this, even if we win this battle and destroy the surrounding besieging army and the human army, that guy will only become more arrogant.
Arrogance, and these are the precursors to destruction.”
Hanershu's old face was full of sternness, and he responded: "Besides, there are still lichs watching eagerly. They are just for profit. They will never really stand on the side of the trolls. If they try to use such a powerful force, I'm afraid it will be impossible."
It will be counterattacked by this force."
"I know this too, but I can't do anything now."
The female troll general also looked solemn, and shook her head helplessly: "I hope things will turn around."
While the giant tree leader and the mountain abyss leader were whispering, Xirik obviously noticed something. He first glanced at the former two with disdain, and then focused his attention on the battle situation again.
A murderous intent suddenly appeared on his blue face full of anger, and he said solemnly: "Emperor of the human race, when we join forces with the undead army, it will be the end of you. Who will do it today?"
Don’t even think about leaving this battlefield alive!”
Having said that, Xilik's distorted face was full of jests again, and he sneered: "But a mere human race actually intends to face the undead army of lich alone, even if it is a place where you are favored by gods? It's nothing.
It’s just the mantis’ arms blocking the cart. It seems that there is no need to wait until the troops are united, and the human army will be destroyed first, haha.”
On the other side of the troll army is the tauren camp. Due to their cooperation with the trolls, they are naturally under the protection of the absolute defensive barrier.
"Your Majesty the King, it seems that the troll is planning to completely break up with all the surrounding besieging forces, and even plans to wipe them out one by one. What should we do?"
In the center of the Tauren military formation, a middle-aged Tauren general with meticulously trimmed hair stroked his chest and saluted, and asked another Tauren wearing a crown.
"We are only here to obtain the resources of the ancient mine, and other things have nothing to do with us."
The crown on the head of the tauren king shone brightly, and the pair of huge black horns also shone brightly. He said calmly: "If anyone dares to stand in front of us, we will naturally not let them go.
"
"Your Majesty, the troll actually contacted the lich. It is an extremely ominous force."
Another tauren minister leaned on his staff and frowned: "Fighting with the lich will probably ruin our reputation."
"That's what the trolls came for. What does it have to do with us?"
The Tauren King remained calm and expressionless as he said: "As I said just now, we are only here to obtain the resources of the ancient mine. No one can stop the lonely king from moving forward."
…
"A mere human race dares to stop us alone. It's because they think they died too slowly."
In the mighty undead army, a black-hooded lich was hidden among a group of skeleton mages also wearing hoods, with a scarlet and cunning light shining in the empty eye sockets.
I saw him slowly and unscrupulously taking off his hood, revealing a hideous and gaunt face.
The skin on his face has shrunk and decayed, and only a small amount of muscle is still clinging to the skull, like a mummy, but this does not affect his arrogant smile.
He even gave up hiding himself as a controller in the military formation because he didn't feel that he would be in any danger.
Directly in front of him, 50 legions of the undead army formed a formation under the Ice Stone City. Countless dark magic artillery fires were pouring down like a violent storm on the crumbling city.
Although the magic artillery fire and arrow counterattacks on the city were also very good, in his opinion, they were just like playing house and did not pose any threat at all.
"Fortunately, the leader has asked me to serve as the vanguard commander this time. I will naturally be the first one to rush into the city after the city is broken. I can finally choose the loot first. Those bright half-elves are very good. I must
First, turn them into my playthings, and as for those insignificant human soldiers, just treat them as small spices."
"Furthermore, I am very curious about how this god-favored place operates. Could it be done by the overestimating human emperor? It's really intriguing, but it won't take long for everything to become clear.
Of course, the premise is that there is no longer a living person in the entire city."
"After this, the leader even spoke. The entire area will be ours. We will turn this place into a world of the dead, which naturally includes the human race. Although those ants are weak, they are
After all, the number is huge, Jie Jie Jie.”
The smile on the Lich's withered face became more intense, and he looked full of anticipation.
The moonlight shone on his ferocious face, revealing several scars that were deep enough to show the bones.
Surrounding the Scar Lich, other lichs who were no different from mummies also had expressions of contempt and ferociousness on their faces, and they were directing their skeleton mages to pour out increasingly fierce artillery fire towards Ice Stone City.
"Your Majesty, the energy of Ice Stone City is about to bottom out."
On the Bingshi city wall where the explosions continued, Binglao's old face was filled with solemnity as he reported to Lei Xiao.
"I've seen it."
Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze from the cracked barrier wall above his head and slowly took a deep breath.
At present, the flower fairies, wood fairies, dwarves, tree people, and the reinforcements from the human race's borders and territories are all ready. It seems that the only way is to gather reinforcements from all over and fight to the death with the opponent.
But Lei Xiao clearly understood that the strength of these reinforcements was not only relatively limited, but also that many of them were wounded soldiers. It was obviously difficult for them to exert their due strength. In the face of such a large undead army, it was no different than giving away their lives.
What's more, the undead army's strength has been enhanced with the blessing of the night, and it is still controlled by the lich, which undoubtedly makes it almost impossible to see the hope of victory.
Not to mention that at the moment when reinforcements are being assembled in Ice Stone City, the opponent is very likely to take the opportunity to directly penetrate the rear of our besieging army.
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about countermeasures, Xiaojing flew over under the guidance of Xiaohuan.
Seeing the figures of the two stone elves, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Before that, he had been focusing on the battlefield, but he had temporarily forgotten about the girl he had just met.
But no matter how strong Xiaojing is, she is only a sixth-level stone elf, and obviously cannot help the battle situation in any way.
However, just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Xiao Jing took a step forward, blinked her big eyes and asked calmly: "Sir, Xiao Huan just said that we are currently facing a major crisis. Is this true?"
"Yes, things are a little beyond our expectations."
Lei Xiao forced a smile, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and blurted out quickly: "Xiao Jing, do you have a solution to all this?"
