The boundless black fog is spreading wantonly around the huge square.
After the six 10-meter-tall peak level four nightmare clay warriors appeared, the atmosphere of despair in the square reached a new height.
Looking up, whether it is the extremely large body, the extreme sense of oppression brought by it, or the thick death aura permeating the whole body, it is far from comparable to the previous third-level clay warrior.
Every time those six dark mud giants took a step forward, while causing the earth to tremble, the fear in people's bloodshot eyes also intensified.
As the fear became more and more intense, more mud balls appeared, and a new fusion began... At this point, a terrible closed loop of despair was created.
Unknowingly, the originally ethereal black mist began to become extremely thick and almost suffocating.
Snap, snap, snap.
The mud that keeps dripping from the giant's body is like the death knell, echoing in everyone's trembling heart.
Seeing this scene, unprecedented panic appeared on the faces of all the main players present.
Although the mud giant that shot Sean and others away at the beginning was already tightly entangled by Randall, who was of the same strength.
But the remaining five mud giants are already very close to the precarious defense line!
Among the powerful men present under Lei Xiao, apart from Randall, the ones with the highest strength are Ye Cang and Ju Bai, both of whom are fourth-level five-stars.
Even if the two of them can hold off two more opponents, the remaining five, Ariel, Chaoyan, Lina, Nanxing, and Nanyue, are all fourth-level one-stars.
When the energy in the body is almost exhausted, facing this fourth-level peak enemy who is immune to physical attacks and can regenerate indefinitely, there is no doubt that he does not even have the strength to hold the opponent back.
What's more, there are more squirming mud masses behind, which are slowly taking shape.
At this moment, all the strong men clearly understand in their hearts that once the mud giant breaks through the front line, this nightmare will usher in a permanent end, and that is the road to death!
Facing the invincible enemy that was approaching, those third-level mercenary warriors who were covered in bruises were the first to collapse and collapse to the ground, with only frightened expressions on their blood-stained faces.
Although the other subordinates under Lei Xiao were still gritting their teeth and persevering, their eyes occasionally revealed a hint of timidity.
"Everyone, it's not time to give up yet. The lord has rushed into the deepest part of the darkness without hesitation and is fighting a decisive battle with the Nightmare Knight. How can we fall in front of the lord?"
A crisp and solemn voice sounded, and Ariel, who knew that the situation was extremely urgent, fluttered her pale golden magic wings and floated in mid-air.
I could see that her whole body was exuding a faint golden brilliance, like a saint, shining brightly in the black mist-filled square.
Ariel looked stern and said loudly: "Only by stabilizing this place, the lord can fight with peace of mind. Since the lord has given us the most vulnerable back, how can we betray the trust of the lord?"
When Ariel said this, all the subordinates who looked tired and hunched over due to lack of energy straightened up their chests again, and their eyes boiled with fighting spirit.
That's right, the lords who had just been promoted to the fourth level rushed towards the nightmare knight who was a fifth-level senior expert without hesitation. How could they be intimidated by these clay puppets of the same level in front of them?
For a time, the aura of the powerful men was like a rainbow, and the powerful aura that was gathered together oscillated back and forth above the square. It seemed that even the black mist was faintly weakening.
The few strong mercenaries who felt all this also picked up their weapons again, with equally awe-inspiring expressions on their faces.
They will never allow others to destroy everything that the city lord has worked so hard to build!
At this point, the strong men gritted their teeth and once again fought against the incoming fourth-level mud giants and third-level ordinary clay men.
"Residents of Kongqing Town, I believe you all already know that I am Leng Yan's fifth princess, Queen Ariel."
Seeing that the front line had been temporarily stabilized, Ariel turned to the huge crowd in the square, her fair face full of uprightness and high spirits.
"Since I came to Kongqing Town, I have seen prosperity and prosperity that has not been seen in other areas of the Lengyan Kingdom for a long time, and I have also seen happy faces living and working in peace and contentment. This is something I never thought of before I came here.
It’s also the thing that touches me the most.”
"And all of this is inseparable from everyone present. It is your love for life and expectations for the future that make this city more prosperous."
"This is a town full of vitality, and it is also a town full of strength and unyielding. Faced with the successive attacks by two huge forces, the traditional aristocracy and the new aristocracy, Kongqing Town still persisted until this point with its own strength.
At this moment, this is already a miracle, a miracle that only belongs to everyone present, and a miracle created by everyone present."
Ariel looked at the scarred garrison soldiers and the more panic-looking civilians, and continued to speak loudly: "And now, above the head of Kongqing Town, there is a bone-chilling darkness.
It may pierce the city at any time, spreading death to every corner of the city."
"But fortunately, this time, we can still rely on the strength of everyone present to compete with this darkness."
When Ariel said this, the restless crowd had already slowed down a bit. The fear on most people's faces unconsciously restrained them, and they began to listen carefully to the high-spirited words of the Princess of Cold Flames.
"Our Lord, the City Lord, for the sake of this town, for everyone present including me, has rushed into the darkness risklessly to have a final contest with the instigator. What we need to do is to believe in the City Lord.
Sir, you can dispel the darkness and let the light come to this land again!"
"Our city lord has saved the city from the tyrant once, and he will definitely be able to save it a second time! And since we have created a miracle once, we can also create a second time!"
"The gathered power of faith is enough to become a solid barrier. It can block our inner cowardice and block the coming of darkness!"
"So, please believe in hope, believe in the Lord of the City, and more importantly, believe in yourself. The darkness shrouding the city will eventually pass away, and what greets us must be a brilliant and glorious dawn!"
After Ariel finished speaking, she saw that the panic and fear on the faces of almost all the garrison soldiers and most of the civilians had been replaced by tenacity and unyielding.
Although everyone was still unable to move or speak due to the control of the manipulation technique, the determination and urgency in their eyes truly showed that their bodies could be controlled by darkness, but their minds could not!
Then, a miracle happened.
Subsequently, a large number of fourth-order giant fear clay figurines that were about to solidify immediately melted.
Much of the melted mud did not even form the original third-order clay warriors, but was already sizzling and integrated with the black mist again.
The same goes for the mud giants who were fighting the strong men. They soon melted and degenerated into weak third-level clay warriors.
At this point, with Ariel's hard work and encouragement, the originally dangerous defense line around the square began to become stronger again.
"Lord, this is all my subordinates can do."
Seeing this, Ariel let out a long breath, smoothed her hair that was already wet with sweat, and murmured in her heart: "Lord, your subordinates in the rear have been stabilized, please be sure.
Return safely and win that much-anticipated dawn for yourself and everyone present."
Thinking of this, Ariel's eyes moved and looked into the depths of the thick fog where Lei Xiao had gone away, her starry eyes shining brightly.
…
Just as the situation in the west city square was changing, Lei Xiao and Hong Ye had already arrived at the area where the formation eye was located, facing the thick black fog.
When he stopped, Lei Xiao looked around.
This is where the city's slums used to be.
Since the focus of the city's work was first on the construction of city defenses, the construction of this new residential area was not completely completed.
Lei Xiao only produced a large number of blueprints for double-story residential buildings and built a residential area. The rest of the road transportation, green plants and other basic supporting facilities have not yet been completed.
Therefore, the neatly arranged empty houses, the bare muddy ground, and the thick black fog make the place look quite eerie.
"Lord, my subordinates can sense that that is where the black mist is thickest!"
Hong Ye stretched out her slender fingers and pointed at the center of the new residential area, frowning and saying: "Moreover, my subordinate sensed an extremely disgusting death aura, which came from the Nightmare Knight!"
"I understand, let's move on."
Lei Xiao nodded, and while fluttering the lavender magic wings on his back again, he asked Hong Ye again: "Have you sensed any other familiar scents?"
Needless to say, what Lei Xiao was referring to was, of course, the Japanese knotweed about which there had been no news.
Lei Xiao was not worried about Lian's missing whereabouts. As a battle doll, Lian's aura might not even be felt by the Nightmare Knight himself, the originator of this death barrier.
As for Guanzhong, Celia and Kunbu, who are also missing, they have not been seen in the West District Square before. It is presumed that they are fighting in other areas that are not particularly dangerous, or they have already joined the subordinates from several other strongholds.
"Back to the lord, my subordinates have not noticed that the energy flow in this deadly realm is extremely chaotic, even more so than in an ordinary battlefield."
As the crimson magic wings trembled, Hong Ye shook his head helplessly and said: "Only the death energy of the Nightmare Knight was too obvious and huge, so it was felt by my subordinates."
"I know, when we see the Nightmare Knight soon, we have only one goal, and that is to kill him as soon as possible at all costs."
Lei Xiao nodded solemnly and said calmly: "As long as this guy is dealt with, the new aristocratic forces outside will not be afraid. I have already made a plan to eliminate those new aristocratic legions."
"Yes! Please rest assured, Lord, that disgusting black maggot will be crushed to pieces by my subordinates with my own hands."
Hong Ye's fair face was full of awe, and she nodded solemnly.
Just as the two were talking, a giant black silhouette caught Lei Xiao's attention in the fog ahead.
Looking from a distance, Lei Xiao noticed.
It seemed to be a squirming, irregular muddy pure black object, surrounded by the ruins of a double-story house.
Further outside, there is a giant black magic array composed of black lines rising from the ground, extending all the way to the ground.
From this, it is not difficult to see that the pure black object obviously squeezed through the double-story house and then burst out.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a layer of rich translucent black defensive barrier on the periphery of the muddy pure black object, which perfectly wraps it up.
"Lord, it seems that this is the location of the formation in this deadly realm."
Hong Ye's starry eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the dark magic barrier and said: "Around the eye of the formation, there is a defensive barrier connected to the entire field. Only by defeating the caster can it be lifted.
"
"Is that true?"
The magic wings behind Lei Xiao dispersed, signaling Hong Ye to stop, and then said lightly to the black fog in front of him: "Nightmare Knight, there is no need to hide, you should show up too, right?"
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, a thick black mist rose, and a dark figure riding a skeleton horse slowly appeared in front of Lei Xiao and Hong Ye.
"City Lord Kongqing, I didn't expect you to actually have the courage to come here."
The bone gun in the Nightmare Knight's hand was pointed directly at the tip of Lei Xiao's nose, and he said playfully: "Before I kill you, I would like to thank you. If you hadn't defeated the White Knight and solved a problem for me,
It's a big trouble, but I can't spare my time, so I'm going to deal with you wholeheartedly."
The Nightmare Knight's smile became even wider, and he smacked his lips and said: "First we attacked with water, then we bombed with the Sky Knight, and finally we were able to mobilize an army of goblins that had always been extremely well-equipped. I have to say that I was really a little light before.
I count on you."
"It doesn't matter, you can die right now with fear of me."
Lei Xiao smiled coldly, and then said: "Have you finished your last words?"
"What a arrogant and hateful boy."
The disguised voice of the Nightmare Knight became deeper and deeper, and he said disdainfully to Hong Ye: "How dare you challenge my authority with a weak fifth-level two-star strong man?"
"That's enough for you."
Hongye looked at the Nightmare Knight like an insect and said calmly.
"I don't know how much I can do, but let me see how much this thin-skinned little girl like you weighs!"
After finishing speaking, the Nightmare Knight urged the skeleton war horse under his crotch and charged towards the red night first.
"Lord, be careful."
Hongye, not to be outdone, immediately turned into a dazzling red light and went straight to meet him.
However, at the same time as the two vast forces of black and red collided.
Another dark figure that was about to move quietly appeared behind Lei Xiao.
