With the support of Ariel and other five fourth-level experts, a glimmer of hope immediately emerged in the square that was originally lifeless and full of despair.
Those ten golden holy lion puppets not only illuminated the dense darkness around them, but also shone on every trembling soul shrouded in despair, causing a long-lost color to appear in pairs of dim eyes.
.
As for Ju Bai, Nan Xing, Nan Yue and Sean, who were still fighting hard, their exhausted faces were even more covered with uncontrollable excitement.
The appearance of Ariel and his party undoubtedly means that the Lord has dealt with the threat of the White Knight in the territory and has come to save them!
"Your Highness Princess, you came at just the right time!"
I saw the holy sword whistling in Jubai's hand. After chopping up a burly fearful clay warrior, it flashed to Ariel's side: "If we are a step later, I am afraid that I and others will really not be able to hold on."
Already."
Judging from Ju Bai's extremely depressed aura and pale face, it was obvious that he was at the end of his strength.
"Ju Baiqing, thank you for your hard work."
As Ariel waved the staff in her hand, the air was suppressed to the extreme, and the almost stagnant light energy particles suddenly shone brightly.
Then, under Ariel's chant, it turned into light arrows, which "swish, swish" penetrated several clay warriors not far away.
During the break between casting spells, the small crown on Ariel's head was still shining brightly, and she spoke to Jubai: "The Lord Lord and Senior Hongye have already gone to the formation eye area, and the end of the Nightmare Knight is coming.
!”
"Great! I know that the lord will definitely break through the darkness and let the light come to this land again!"
The excitement on the delicate orange-white face was beyond words, and she was excited.
Then, a trace of uncontrollable worry appeared on her cheek again, she frowned and said hesitantly: "The strength of the Nightmare Knight far exceeded our previous expectations. Even Senior Tiger Stick is currently missing.
I don’t know, just based on the words of Lord Lord and Senior Hongye, I am afraid Lord Lord will be in danger..."
"this……"
Ariel looked at the thick black fog around her and the clay warriors with their teeth and claws waving, and a trace of uncontrollable worry appeared on her fair face.
Just like Ju Bai said, the Nightmare Knight is a fifth-level veteran after all. It is very easy to deal with the lord who has just advanced to the fourth level. Moreover, this death domain belongs to the opponent.
territory.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a bit too hasty to let the Lord and Senior Hong Ye face the Nightmare Knight who is so cruel that he even turns the entire city into the City of the Undead.
However, the worries in Ariel's mind were quickly suppressed by her steadfastness and respect for Lei Xiao.
Her starry eyes began to shine as brightly as the crown, and she said firmly: "I believe that no matter how dangerous the Nightmare Knight is, the lord will definitely save the day, he will definitely do it!"
"Your Highness the Princess is right. After all, that is the lord who has created countless miracles."
Ju Bai also nodded, his eyes became determined again, full of hope: "I will always pray for the lord in my heart until the moment of the lord's victory!"
"Before that, we just need to guard this square and not trigger the undead storm."
When Ariel said this, she briefly described the situation in the Death Realm to Jubai.
"Collecting "Despair"? No wonder the Nightmare Knight used magic to force all the surrounding residents and soldiers to gather in this square. It turned out to be the reason for being so heartless."
After listening to Ariel's description, her orange-white starry eyes were already filled with anger.
Originally, she was defending the western city wall with the garrison captain Wood and others.
After the death realm broke out, Ju Bai was caught off guard. In order to avoid the large number of undead souls transformed from the dead soldiers, he and the new noble soldiers outside the city attacked from both sides.
door area.
However, she was surprised to find that the undead warriors had no intention of opening the city gate, and the new aristocratic forces outside the city that had been attacking fiercely also stopped attacking.
At this point, as a holy sword priest, Ju Bai, who was already extremely sensitive to necromancy, immediately realized.
The Nightmare Knight was obviously planning to carry out some conspiracy in the city, so he and Wood led the remaining garrison soldiers to investigate into the city, intending to join up with Hu Zhi and others to figure out what happened.
But just halfway through, except for her and Wood, they were still moving freely in the black mist.
All the garrison soldiers, including a large number of guards, were unable to control their bodies and walked into the depths of the black mist.
Seeing this sudden scene, even though it was unexpected, Ju Bai immediately thought that the soldiers were obviously controlled by some kind of manipulation technique.
But what makes people feel powerless is that she has used all the purification methods she can think of, but she is still unable to stop the soldiers from advancing.
With no other choice, Jubai and Wood had to follow the soldiers all the way, preparing to observe and then make plans.
It wasn't until they arrived at this square that the two of them discovered it.
This place has already been tightly blocked by a large number of soldiers and civilians with dull faces and inert actions.
Moreover, there was a steady flow of people, gathering from the black mist from all directions. The scene of people gathering like zombies was something that Ju Bai would never forget in his life.
Not long after, Nanxing, Nanyue, Yaer, and pterodactyl knight Sean and others also came to check the situation, and then the strong men gathered together again.
According to Nan Xing Nan Yue's description, the knotweed who was originally acting together with the two of them, after realizing that something was wrong, rushed into the deepest part of the black mist without hesitation.
"Senior Huzhang said before leaving that the lord is having a life-or-death duel with the White Knight in the territory. He will not allow accidents in Kongqing Town to distract the lord, nor will he allow Kongqing Town to fall, thus posing a huge threat to the territory!
"
"As a result, Senior Knotweed has not appeared again until now, so he is probably in a tough fight."
The orange-white holy sword's blade flashed with brilliance. After restoring a clay warrior who had just been half-reborn into black mist, he shook his head helplessly and said to Ariel.
"Later, when the square was overcrowded with civilians and soldiers, and the surrounding streets shrouded in black mist returned to calm, those clay warriors showing their teeth and claws suddenly appeared."
"At the beginning, many of the outlying soldiers who were unable to move were caught off guard and were attacked by the clay warriors. It was not until my subordinates and others spread out to respond to the enemy with all their strength that the situation improved."
As the holy sword roared in his hand, his orange-white willow eyebrows had already been twisted into twists.
Then he continued: "When I was in a stalemate with these clay warriors who would regenerate after being destroyed and whose teeth were as sticky as slime candy, I still felt strange why these opponents were only provoking and roaring with their teeth and claws, but did not launch any real attacks.
attack."
"I didn't expect that the Nightmare Knight was gathering despair in an attempt to launch the Necromantic Storm as soon as possible..."
Ju Bai bit her red lips tightly when she said this, the anger on her face was beyond words.
"That's right. Fortunately, the Lord and Senior Hongye have already rushed into the formation where the Nightmare Knight is. In addition to the previous Senior Tiger Stick, there are two fifth-level powerhouses on the side. Presumably even the Nightmare Knight can't do it.
There is no way he can be an opponent!"
Ariel frowned and nodded, and a touch of excitement appeared on her fair face.
Although she knew clearly in her heart that from the beginning of the battle between the lord and the white knight, it was no longer a secret that he had two powerful fifth-level men under his command.
In this case, the Nightmare Knight still chose to activate the Death Barrier. The situation is naturally self-evident, and it must have corresponding countermeasures.
Moreover, the opponent that Senior Tiger Stick encountered was obviously not the Nightmare Knight himself, otherwise the phantoms that appeared again and again would not have always shown a confident and leisurely appearance.
However, even though she knew that the place Lei Xiao was going to must be an extremely dangerous place, in the current crisis situation, Ariel obviously had no other choice but to trust the Lord.
Ariel once again strengthened her thoughts in her heart. With many arrows of light floating around her, Ariel first waved her staff and fired out the arrows of light that penetrated several clay warriors who roared forward.
Then he said sternly to Ju Bai: "Light will definitely break through the darkness, and what we have to do is to protect the last pure land in this city before the light comes, and we must never let this place become the ignition of the deep darkness.
So!"
"Your Highness the Princess is right, we will fight until the last moment!"
The orange-white complexion was stern and he said firmly.
In this way, with the help of the five Ariel people, plus the original strong ones such as Orange and White, the surrounding fearful clay warriors, although their offensive was more than one level fierce, were still temporarily suppressed.
However, this advantageous situation did not last long.
On the fierce battlefield, the fearful clay warriors who were wiped out could be reborn indefinitely. However, even with the blessing of precious magic potions, the energy recovery rate in Ariel and others' bodies could not keep up with the rate of consumption.
Facing the opponent's endless attacks, the strong men soon showed their fatigue again.
In particular, Sean and other pterodactyl knights, who were already at the third level of strength, the two garrison captains Yael and Wood, and those strong third-level mercenaries were even more shaky, and many people suffered.
The injury was not serious, but with just one breath, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
Thick black fog is still lingering around the square, and the dead breath in the air is suffocating.
Although the powerful men, who were getting weaker and weaker, were still fighting hard, the number of snarling clay warriors and undead warriors had not decreased at all.
I saw the mottled long swords of the strong men waving feebly, and the blood on the silver-white armor was once again covered in fresh red before it dried up.
Their courage is being swallowed up by darkness, and their strength is being exhausted by darkness.
But those clay warriors who bared their teeth and claws were full of vigor, roaring and launching increasingly fierce attacks.
Behind the clay warriors, there were a large number of undead soldiers, waving flags and shouting silently.
The skulls with hollow eyes and protruding cheekbones had their mandibles shaking up and down, making a chilling "click" sound.
This scene seems to be telling that all resistance is in vain, and darkness will eventually fall and devour everyone present.
Thinking of this in their hearts, the people who had seen some hope once again had uncontrollable negative emotions, and budding despair quietly began to grow in the dark mist.
Then, the real nightmare began.
The despair that sprouted again from hope turned out to be even worse than the initial despair.
As the aura of despair in the square became stronger, I saw two clay warrior puppets slightly behind, dripping mud, and gathered together to form a larger ball of mud.
Three, four, five... As more and more fearful clay warriors joined, the increasingly larger mass of mud began to squirm strangely.
Not long after, as the black mist rose, a giant clay warrior about ten meters tall appeared in front of everyone.
The giant clay warrior, exuding a terrifying aura, had just appeared. Sean and the other pterodactyl knights, who were concentrating on the battle not far away, could not wait to react.
Immediately, he slapped Sean and another pterodactyl knight and flew them away. They fell heavily into a large flower bed and passed out.
The deformed plate armor on the bodies of the two men is enough to prove how terrifying their strength is.
The colorful armor that was touched by Mud Palm also began to emit traces of black smoke, and its brilliance became dimmer, apparently suffering from the corrosion of darkness.
"It's the Nightmare Clay Warrior!"
This sudden scene made Lina startled, and she immediately blurted out: "The strength of this nightmare clay warrior, at the peak level of the fourth level, is because the fear and despair in the square have reached a certain level, and then they are merged.
If this unfavorable situation continues to develop, there will undoubtedly be more nightmare clay warriors born!"
Sure enough, as soon as Lina finished speaking, five more increasingly larger balls of mud began to squirm crazily.
Not long after, the number of giant clay warriors present had grown to six.
I saw huge black giants with a height of 10 meters around the crowded square, slowly moving forward while dripping disgusting mud.
When the earth trembled, the momentum was extremely shocking.
Looking up at the huge and unstoppable group of fourth-order peak dark puppets, the powerful men who were already at the end of their crossbow showed fear on their faces and looked at a loss.
The scene of the dark giant that covers the sky and sun getting closer and closer is like a nightmare.
At this point, this front, which was already on the verge of collapse, was only one step away from being broken through.
And by that time, once the undead storm swept across the city, no matter whether Lei Xiao had found the Nightmare Knight or not, he would only be left with death.
