Just as the solemn voice of the man in black robe No. 3 finished, a low and rapid horn sounded.
What followed was the sound of dense footsteps.
In the messy central square, a large number of enemy soldiers began to rush out from dozens of holes dug by sandworms at the same time.
The moment these enemy soldiers appeared, a loud shout was heard from the man in black robe No. 3.
Above the heads of our recruit camp, pitch-black energy balls exuding a dangerous aura suddenly appeared.
In just a moment, these pitch-black energy balls began to expand rapidly, like balloons that were burst one by one, and soon they all shattered.
This caused a large amount of black liquid with a strange luster to fall on our new recruits who were caught off guard, like a torrential downpour.
The moment this sudden black liquid came into contact with the recruits, bursts of thick black smoke rose up.
Under the raging influence of the black liquid, well-made armors and even sharp weapons were corroded like thin sheets of paper, leaving shocking large holes one after another.
Then comes the more fragile skin, flesh, and bones.
An endless stream of screams immediately resounded throughout the sky.
A large number of our soldiers struggled and fell one after another before they could even shoot an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a skeleton riddled with holes.
Although the attack range of the man in black robe No. 3 tightly covers the forefront of our circular military formation.
But the other recruits who were not affected had never seen such a horrifying scene. Many of them were slumped on the ground, and pools of burnt yellow liquid began to spread under their buttocks.
At the same time, our formation was in chaos.
The enemy soldiers who kept pouring out of the caves quickly formed a battle formation, and dense rain of arrows and crossbows fell from the sky, coming like a tide.
As a result, more helpless recruits fell down wailing, making the seemingly stable encirclement become extremely dangerous.
"Lord Lord!"
Gracilaria, which had already attracted the giant sandworm elsewhere, saw this and was about to return to help, but was stopped by Lei Xiao with his words.
Although he was in danger, Lei Xiao understood clearly.
If Gracilaria gets here, the violent sandworms will follow it everywhere.
By then, not only would the situation not change in any way, but he, Ariel and others would also face attacks from two fifth-level powerhouses at the same time.
As for letting Jiang Li take him to evacuate, it is also of no use.
Let’s not talk about whether we can escape from the clutches of the man in black robe No. 3, but once Wangxing City falls, the opponent’s army will immediately attack the territory, and he will still have the only way to die.
As for Teresa, she was also pestered by the man in black robe No. 10. She tried to come back several times, but was intercepted by the man with a cruel smile.
Looking at the backs of our two fifth-level warriors fighting, Lei Xiao's expression became more solemn.
News also came from the Hezhuang side. The Black Duke and the enemy's elite soldiers underground had also appeared in the storage area and intercepted Hong Ye.
This means that no matter how things change, our lack of top-level combat power has become an established fact.
And now, the reason why we can barely maintain the front line.
Just because the most powerful man in black robe No. 3 is still here.
If the man in black robe No. 3 fully commits to the battle, our already shaky front will undoubtedly fall apart in an instant.
"City Lord Kongqing, you didn't expect that, did you?"
A joking voice sounded, and the man in black robe No. 3 was obviously not in a hurry to take action, but planned to humiliate Lei Xiao first.
He first glanced at the enemy army that was gaining an absolute advantage, and then looked at Lei Xiao's solemn face: "You, who have always been so good at predicting things, will actually have times when you are at your wits' end."
"Now the soldiers who are loyal to you are being tortured and killed, and you can only watch this happen. Doesn't it feel like this powerlessness?"
The man in black robe No. 3 began to laugh wildly and said contemptuously: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, let alone other people, even your life will be at risk soon."
The man in black robe No. 3 looked at Ariel leisurely and continued to joke: "As for Your Highness the Princess, you could have fled to another country and lived your life in glory and wealth, but you personally sent yourself into the cage of death.
You must regret it now, right?”
At this point, the smile of the man in black robe No. 3 became even stronger, and he said solemnly: "Unfortunately, since I have become your opponent, you have no chance to regret it, Jie Jie Jie."
"Unreasonable people, stop talking to yourself! I will never regret it. This land needs to change, and I am willing to be a pioneer, even if the front is blocked by thousands of walls or a scorching purgatory."
Ariel also did not succumb to the majestic momentum and murderous intention surrounding her, and said forcefully: "Everything I do is to follow the motto of my ancestor, the Hero King. For the prosperity of the Cold Flame Kingdom, how can I do it for you?"
Can the tyrannical people understand?"
"It's sanctimonious to say that, but so what? In order to complete the organization's great sacred plan, no matter who it is, whether they are men, women, old or young, anyone who stands in the way must die!"
The voice of the man in black robe No. 3 began to turn gloomy, and he said coldly: "Just like you who are about to die, in the face of absolute strength, everything is empty talk!"
"The truth is indeed only within range, and there is nothing wrong with that."
Not to be outdone, Ariel took a step forward and said, "But don't forget, there is plenty of help in good times but little help in bad ways. You and other tyrannical people will never be able to stand in the bright sunshine."

After a pause, Ariel said sternly: "Only the people have a kingdom, and the king is only the protector of the people. You will never understand this!"
"Haha, we don't need to stand in the sun, we just need to turn everything into endless night."
The man in black robe No. 3 snorted disdainfully and said with a sneer: "I am not here to reason with you people who are about to die. Before you die, you should first see how your loyal soldiers are doing.
There must be corpses everywhere."
After the man in black robe No. 3 finished speaking, the enemy soldiers who had already formed their formation in the square immediately split into two groups. With murderous intentions on their faces, they roared towards our new soldiers' defense line, which had suffered heavy casualties.
Judging from the number, the opponent has reached the size of a legion.
On the other side, although our veteran commanders are struggling to stabilize the front.
But under the influence of the corroded corpses everywhere and the missing corpses filled with arrows, the recruits of the two legions had already become completely confused, and many of them had even begun to flee.
Seeing this scene, the man in black robe No. 3 smiled even more behind his mask.
The legions that were attacked from the underground are all carefully selected elite soldiers and generals. The second-level elite force alone has the size of two brigades, which can be regarded as the backbone of the elite combat force.
As for the opponent, they are just a group of free farmers with weapons. In the blink of an eye, the opponent's entire army can be wiped out!
"To actually use new soldiers to compete with my elite army is simply laughable, but this encirclement has become your own grave!"
The man in black robe No. 3 looked at the army of his subordinates who were rushing towards the new recruits with great momentum, and his arrogant smile became more intense: "Kong Qing City Lord, witness your failure with your own eyes, witness your stupidity with your own eyes!"
"Don't think you can succeed easily."
Lei Xiao's face was indifferent, not showing any trace of panic.
Although the current situation does seem to be completely in favor of the man in black robe No. 3.
But except for the man in black robe No. 3, this does not mean that Lei Xiao has no other plans, at least not to allow this elite enemy army that emerged from the ground to break out of the encirclement.
At the same time, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
The only thing he can do now is to delay the man in black robe No. 3 in front of him as much as possible, just like when dealing with the Dream Knight.
Only by prolonging the passage of time can we find new variables and use them to gain a glimmer of hope.
This is exactly what I have always done.
"From the very beginning, as a lord from another world who suddenly arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, haven't I relied on the precious time I bought time and time again to survive until now?"
"This is how I survive in this strange world."
Lei Xiao's gaze began to become more determined.
In the final analysis, the self before time travel was just an A, B, C and D that could not be found in a crowd of people.
Now that I have come to this world inexplicably, my goal is also very simple.
That is to try your best to survive and pursue the truth of this world.
After all, we are facing an upcoming catastrophe and even an all-out war between the future lords of different continents.
If you just sit there and wait for death, even if you survive for a while, you will definitely die when the mutation comes.
And with the help of Golden Finger, now that he has the potential to control his destiny, he will naturally go all out to fight for survival and destiny.
"All in all, what I can do now is to hold off the No. 3 man in black robes as much as possible and delay the attack of these elite enemy soldiers in exchange for time variability."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao snorted coldly and said calmly to the man in black robe No. 3: "If you want to use these soldiers to defeat my recruits, I'm afraid you are thinking too much."
"Lord Kong Qing, it seems you have started talking nonsense."
The man in black robe No. 3 smiled jokingly, obviously not taking Lei Xiao's words to heart, but said solemnly: "No one can stop my elite soldiers!"
Just as the man in black robe No. 3 finished speaking, the soldiers from the other side who rushed towards our chaotic front in two groups were already within a few feet of the encirclement.
"Those losers who dare to challenge the authority of traditional aristocrats like us, go to hell!"
I saw a fourth-level traditional noble commander leading the way, leaping high from the air, and like a cannonball, he smashed into our camp with a grin.
The other soldiers from the opposing side who were fully armed also showed ferocious faces, waving the sharp blades in their hands, and rushed towards the recruits one after another.
They are just a group of lowly free peasants, and they dare to surround them who have experienced many battles. They are simply overestimating their capabilities!
However, something unexpected happened.
After the opponent rushed into our camp like an overwhelming force, there was no fierce melee, and there was no tragic scene of our soldiers being killed.
Instead, it suddenly became unusually quiet. After all the enemy soldiers staggered forward a few steps, their movements came to an abrupt halt.
Because they were surprised to find that all the "prey" in front of them could not hit, but became more and more illusory, like reflections in the water, even the corpses on the ground!
"It's actually an illusion?!"
The man in black robe No. 3 was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately realized what he was doing and yelled: "Get back, it's a trap!"
Hearing the cry of the man in black robe No. 3, the fourth-level traditional noble commander who bore the brunt reacted extremely quickly and immediately began to organize a retreat.
But before the order could be given, he was knocked over by the scorching air waves and torn apart in mid-air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A deafening violent explosion sounded.
Immediately, waves of scorching death were set off in the opponent's camp that was caught off guard.
Because the explosion came so unexpectedly, many of the enemy's soldiers had murderous intent on their faces just a second ago.
And the next second, before he understood what happened, he was already engulfed in the sea of fire, leaving only hysterical screams.
Coupled with the fact that the opponent was confident and almost fully pressed forward, the opponent's formation was in chaos and they began to panic and lose their way.
At the same time, the sound of vibrating bowstrings piercing the air was heard intensively, and a curtain of arrows fell from the sky.
Located in the last row of the phantom soldiers, our intact new archers began to scatter in an orderly manner within the infantry's shield wall.
One after another, the sharp magic arrows failed to penetrate the armor, sending an invitation to the God of Death to the confused soldiers on the other side.
For a moment, the hunter became the prey, and the opposing soldiers fell in pieces like wheat, causing the scene to instantly reverse.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Lei Xiao's mouth raised slightly.
From the very beginning, our new recruits who suffered heavy losses were all illusions created by Xiao Huan.
As a divine creation, the [God Stone] is coupled with the skill [Besieged on All Sides] built by Erza.
It was naturally easy for Xiao Huan to do all this, including simulating the tragic situation of soldiers dying in battle.
The real soldiers on our side were all placed in the back row and did not suffer any harm at all.
Because Xiao Huan's illusion skills are superb, they are enough to confuse fifth-level experts.
In addition, Lei Xiao arranged the real soldiers behind the phantom soldiers, so that there were fakes among the real, and the real among the fakes.
As a result, even the man in black robe No. 3, whose strength is at the fifth level and eight stars, is difficult to distinguish.
Moreover, from the very beginning, the opponent, who believed that victory was already in hand, did not take the new recruits seriously at all.
As for the source of those explosions, it was the magic scroll trap deployed in advance by Lei Xiao, Jiang Li and other magic subordinates.
Based on a large number of magic scrolls, and supplemented by simple triggering magic circle connections, it can be detonated at will.
Among them, Lei Xiao even mixed in a large number of fourth-level attack spell scrolls, which were enough to instantly wipe out the fourth-level strong men who were caught off guard.
"Originally, this was just an insurance measure for me, but I didn't expect it to have such a big effect. Otherwise, the two legions of new recruits would have been wiped out by now."
Lei Xiao saw another hidden regiment of recruits and began to re-enter the battlefield, taking a deep breath slowly.
"Even though I resisted the breakout of this elite army, the threat from Chi Chi has still not been eliminated."
When Lei Xiao thought about this, a furious murderous intention rushed towards him. It was the man in black robe No. 3 who was approaching Chi Chi.
