Chapter 33: The Return of Darkness (II)

Collender stared at the crystal ball in front of him with a gloomy face, and in the image in the crystal ball, he could clearly see the war between the water and fire elements. The innate confrontation made the fire elemental creatures that they had summoned almost unwilling to obey its commands, and instead rushed straight to the natural enemies in front of them. But now, Collund was no longer annoyed by the chaotic nature of the damn elemental creatures. On the contrary, the lich felt a great deal of confusion and shock.

The other party is so well prepared?!

Although after the Illusory Key from the Burning Fire Plains was stolen, Colund was already mentally prepared that the other party would deal with it, after all, he was able to steal the Illusory Key, and he also activated the summoning stone with his hand, causing a little trouble to himself, which was enough to show that his enemy was knowledgeable. And the other party stole the illusion key, obviously to deal with the fire element creatures in the Burning Fire Plains, Collund didn't think about this, but at that time, the most he expected was that the other party was likely to increase some elemental mages to use spells to defend, or summon the same fire element creatures to attack. I couldn't have imagined that the other party would also have the Illusion Key!

No, if you think about it carefully, since the other party understands the elemental teleportation on his side, it is not a great thing to have the illusion key. But how could he possibly summon so many water elemental creatures in such a short period of time? As a spellcaster, and a spellcaster specializing in alchemy creation, Collund certainly understood how difficult it was to expand the elemental channel. But now, judging from the rising waves in the crystal ball and the water elemental creatures that emerged, it was obvious that the other party's elemental channel was not only very stable, but also very high-level. This puzzled Collund, as there was no mention in the previous battle report that the owner of the fortress had the illusionary key to the Silver Sea. There is also no mention of him summoning water elemental creatures to fight the undead army. On the contrary, it is mentioned that there is a fox-eared girl with a powerful fire element attribute magic attack, which is also the reason why Colund chose to bring the illusion key of the Burning Fire Plains and open it here, if the other party really has the illusion key, it is impossible to summon any water element creatures in the previous battle. If he had known that the other party had the key to the Silver Sea, Collund wouldn't have been stupid enough to do such a thing!

Could it be that it was only after the previous World War I that they built the portal along with the Sea of Silver? Are you kidding! Building a teleportation channel can be very time-consuming. In particular, the more advanced the conveyor channel, the longer it will take, which is why Collender chooses to compensate for quality with quantity. If possible, he also hopes to be able to build the highest level portal all the time, and then summon a fire demon to come out, so that nothing will happen?

If the rear can patiently give him five to ten years or more to toss around here, but it is obvious that this is absolutely impossible.

"What's going on!"

Collund stared carefully at the crystal ball in front of him, and after a moment he turned his head gloomily to look at Schrodinger, who was nervous, the poor vampire mage who was now pale with fright and trembling all over his body. He could feel the anger and chill in Collund's eyes. But Schrodinger was also puzzled by the situation in front of him.

"I, I don't know, Lord Collender. I can assure you that in their previous battles with Lord Simon, they did not summon any water elemental creatures to attack, and not only me, but General Vidal and Commander Cybern can attest to this. It's true that they've never summoned a water elemental creature before. ”

"Humph! Do you want to say that they had such a high-level portal in just a few days after this?! ”

Looking at the trembling vampire species in front of him. Collund snorted coldly, there was no point in bothering this bastard now. The strengths and weaknesses of the battle largely lie in the collection of intelligence, but Collund's intelligence gathering has not been smooth, and the scouts he sent to collect information have all been wiped out, along with his own corpse slaves. Leo's group of dark-skinned degenerates have not been heard from so far, and they have been killed by the other party. Coupled with the obviously strong extraordinarily sacred aura in the opponent's territory. As a result, Colund couldn't even send anyone close to the fortress castle. So far, all the information he has obtained has come from the previous reports of the other party and Simon during the first battle, and originally Collender thought that in such a short period of time, even if the other party has changed much. But now it seems that I was too naΓ―ve.

Although the two sides still seem to be evenly matched so far, Collender is well aware. If this continues, then the fire element creatures on your side will be seriously lost, not to mention anything else, just talking about distance is a big problem, the opponent's water element creatures are fighting at the door of the house, and the fire element portal on their side is still some distance away from the battlefield, even if it continues to increase, it is definitely not as much as the water element creatures summoned at the door of the house. Originally, Collund planned to use the fire elemental creature's self-detonation and combustion characteristics to catch the other party off guard, but he didn't expect that it was the other party who gave him a hard blow. If you continue like this, I'm afraid that when the fire elemental channel on your side is closed due to energy depletion, it will be impossible to break through the opponent's ice barrier.

However, as a commander of an army, this adaptability must always be necessary, otherwise the undead would not be so strong and strong.

"Order the fire elemental creatures to retreat, regroup, and prepare the first, third, and fifth legions for battle!"

Looking at the scene in the crystal ball, Collund coldly gave the order.

The scuffle ended in an instant.

The flame beasts that were fighting the water elemental creatures suddenly turned away, and for a while, the undulating flames kept disappearing, and soon they saw that the bright red, which was already a little dull, slowly retreated back like this, leaving the attack range of the fortress. And the water elemental creatures here had no intention of chasing, and Rhodes just waved his hand to stop them from taking advantage of the situation to pursue. This is also related to the personality of the water elemental creatures, who are mostly calm and easy to obey. Fire elemental creatures, on the other hand, tend to be short-tempered, making them less susceptible to manipulation. Soon. The icy cold wind blew, sweeping away the fog on the battlefield, and all that could be seen was the various scorched black explosion marks left on the ground, as well as the figures of shadow phantom beasts and fantasy manta fish that shimmered with cold light.

The entire walls of the fortress were silent, and the soldiers who had never seen this scene before were stunned by the scene in front of them. They had never imagined that they would see such a dreamlike battle here. It wasn't until the fire elemental creatures retreated that the entire city wall suddenly burst into hasty cheers, and although they didn't participate in the battle, the scene in front of them still made the blood of these soldiers boil.

Only Rod didn't look very happy, he looked coldly ahead, and then his face changed slightly.

"Lijie, order all the spirit masters to unfurl the protective barrier, now, immediately!"

"It's good. Mr. Rhodes! ”

Hearing Rod's order, Lijie also hurriedly turned her head and gave an order to the spirit masters beside her, and after receiving the order, those spirit masters who had been hiding behind slowly stepped forward, they chanted in a low voice, and the sacred and complicated runes were connected at this moment, and Agapy and other sea elves also quietly retreated at this time, but their hands were not idle. I saw the tentacles of the sea elves spinning gracefully in the air, drawing one after another azure runes. Soon. Accompanied by the golden soul light, translucent barriers flashed across the city wall one after another, and the golden runes connected into an invisible but hard protection, protecting everyone in it. On the outer layer of the city wall, the smooth and heavy ice began to spread rapidly towards the wall, and it didn't take long to form a new barrier on the outer layer of the wall.

And at the same time. Tens of thousands, dots of starry brilliance, emerged in the darkness on the other side.

It was not the brilliance of the stars, but the arrows that burned with the flame of the soul.

"Enemy Attack β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”!!!"

With the shouts of the soldiers, countless arrows slashed through the night sky. Flying down, like a torrential rain shrouded the entire fortress wall, the soldiers held their shields high, hiding behind the city wall, only to see these arrows crackling on the soul barrier, the wall of ice and the soldiers' shields, for a time many soldiers even gave birth to the illusion that they couldn't raise their heads, they couldn't even fight back, they could only hide behind the city wall in vain, holding their shields high. Waiting for the end of this wave of arrows.

Rod stood proudly at the top of the Silver Tower, the arrows forcefully rejected by an invisible force before they reached Rod's side, his sword in his hand, his eyes narrowed into the darkness. It seemed empty, but Rhodes felt his heart beat faster and faster, a feeling he was familiar with. In the middle of the game, this is the normal rhythm when facing the undead onslaught countless times. Now, the whole battle has finally entered the orbit that Rhodes is most familiar with.

The rain of arrows lasted for a full five or six minutes before stopping, and there was no way to last that long if it were humans, but for the undead, they didn't need to think about these issues. Everyone raised their heads in shock, the soldiers who had experienced the first battle with the undead legion before were fine, and many of these newcomers were still encountering such a terrible arrow rain attack for the first time. For a moment, they even thought that the other party's arrow rain was endless, and that it would eventually bury them completely like a wave.

They looked up in shock, and soon heard a dull sound coming from a distance.

"Knock......... Knock ..............."

"Knock ..............."

It sounded like a muffled sound of falling objects to the ground, and it sounded like some behemoth was moving forward. There was a dead silence on the entire city wall, and the soldiers held their longbows and arrows, but they could not say a word. The Phantom Beasts that had been scattered under the city walls instinctively retreated at this moment and gathered together. The fantasy manta fish, on the other hand, shook its body restlessly, making sounds that ordinary people could not hear to warn of the coming danger.

"β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” gaa!!"

The next moment, the pitch black flipped.

The originally deep night was like the open mouth of an invisible monster, and everyone saw the darkness in the sky begin to writhe, and then turn into a large bright red fiery cloud. Tens of thousands of fire ravens screamed and flapped their wings and rushed forward, and the flames on the ground rose and erupted again, rushing towards the icy waves in front of them.

But this time, behind them, the crowd saw several huge black shadows. It was a huge white bone monster as high as a city wall, and they walked forward slowly but unswervingly, with war hammers in their hands, and on either side of their shoulders, they could see that the platforms forged from flat steel plates had been completely unfolded at this time, and with the help of the firelight, they could even see the light crossbow bolts arranged on them, as well as the black ghouls and skeleton warriors. This kind of top-heavy existence, according to reason, as long as you take a step, you will fall directly to the ground because of the loss of balance. But Rhodes knew very well that it was a little ridiculous to talk about science in this world.

"The Holy Soul is above! What is that!! ”

Seeing this scene in front of them, many soldiers cried out in horror, and they even retreated involuntarily, not knowing what to do for a while.

But by this time, the offensive of the undead army had been fully launched.

The flames and ice collided again, and this time the fire elemental creatures that had gathered all their strength were finally able to draw with the water elemental creatures under Rod's command, and at this moment, dozens of bone trolls stepped forward, they walked slowly forward with a steady and resolute step, and then, the bone trolls straightened up.

"Whoosh!!"

Bolts shot out of the bones troll's shoulders, crashing into the hard, cold walls and sinking into it. But these crossbow arrows are not just used to attack the city wall, in the light of the fire, you can clearly see that behind these crossbow arrows, there are black and hard ropes connected.

"Cut the rope, quick! Burn them!! ”

Seeing these ropes, even the idiot soldiers understood what was going to happen, and soon the officers shouted angrily and ordered their men to cut these ropes. But at this moment, another wave of arrows flew by, and the soldiers were pressed down again. At the same time, I saw those dark, thin ghouls climbing the rope like agile monkeys, as if black ghosts were rushing straight down the rope!

The battle finally began at this moment.
