Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 122: Destroy One First (2)
Realizing that there was no hope of escaping, Graveson stopped making futile attempts and began to shrink his defenses, holding on to his position, waiting for reinforcements from the outer army. Since the fierce battle, the 10,000-man Terror Knights under my command have suffered considerable casualties. Facing the Witch King's Guards led by a thousand Corpse Witch Kings with longer magic range and stronger attack power, if we still use the previous method to attack, it will inevitably lead to greater losses and delay more time. Moreover, I don't want to kill too many Corpse Witch Kings. They are all strong fighters. As long as I deal with Graveson, they are all my men. In order to make a quick decision, I had to dispatch the most elite corps composed of more than 600 Terror Bull Knights, collectively accumulating strength and preparing to perform "flash combos" to try to break through the Corpse Witch King's blockade in one fell swoop. At the very least, I had to create a large-scale chaos to distract them and create opportunities for the airborne raids of Shaman, the blood bat couple, and Taotao, who were hovering in the sky.
After accumulating power, the Terror Knights blocking the front row received the order and moved to both sides collectively, making way for a wide passage. More than 600 Terror Bull Knights took the lead and collectively performed "Flash Combo" to charge. I personally led an assault team of more than 50 Terror Ground Dragon Knights to follow closely behind, and using the gap opened by the forwards, we quickly approached Graveson.
After a distance of about a hundred meters, they only had time to launch two rounds of volleys before being rushed in front of by the fast-charging Terror Bull Knights. Under the strong restraint of the Terror Knights in other directions, this team of the most powerful assault troops did not receive any special "care", and thus the losses they suffered were not serious. A gap was quickly broken through among the ordinary corpse wizards guarding the outermost layer, and they were directly approaching the corpse wizard king formation in the inner layer, launching the strongest skill attacks. Their individual strength was above that of the corpse wizard king. According to my prediction, they should not encounter too much trouble.
However, Gravison was indeed a cunning Witch King. He immediately noticed the powerful impact of the Terror Bull Knight and mobilized almost all the Corpse Witch Kings around him to intercept them. He also relied on the obstruction of ordinary Corpse Witches to move at the right time, trying to increase the distance between each other and prevent the Terror Bull Knight from getting close. In the struggle, I was unable to get close to Gravison for a while, which made me afraid to take the risk and lead the Terror Ground Dragon Knight to launch a decisive assault.
The Moonlight Box on the right sent an emergency report. Because of the constant attacks by the corpse witches, the blood witch Douglas was determined to retreat. The two thousand blood witches under his command were quite powerful. I was busy dealing with the war here and could not effectively command and mobilize the troops for the blocking mission. They were under great pressure and were constantly broken through and intercepted by Douglas, causing a large number of casualties. They were already a little overwhelmed. They hoped that I could end the war here as soon as possible and rush over to support them. I had just ended the contact with the Moonlight Box and was thinking countermeasures. From a distance, I felt that something seemed to be staring at me. Before I could change my position, my head "buzzed" and an invisible dark force suddenly emerged, giving me a heavy blow. My thinking suddenly fell into confusion. At the same time, my eyes went black and I lost control of my body. I fell to the ground with a "thump".
I am not unfamiliar with this invisible attack method. In fact, it is also one that I often use - "mental attack". As long as the target's position is within sight, it can be attacked. The enemy who is capable of using this method is probably the fourth wizard king Graveson. After being slightly sober and regaining the ability to think, I immediately reacted. It must be that I was careless just now and forgot to hide my body, so I was targeted by Graveson. Since he had plotted against me once before, he must know that I was the real culprit and would definitely not show mercy.
I don't know how powerful "mental attack" can be in Graveson's hands, but judging from the effect of the previous attack, I lost two-thirds of my mental power. Naturally, I dare not give it another chance to launch it - not only for me, but also for Shaman and Taotao, this is also a great threat. A sudden loss of consciousness in the fierce battle will definitely endanger their lives. In addition, the Moonlight Box is in urgent need of time and can't delay too long. I can only give up the plan of rushing to Graveson, defeating him and then subduing him, and launch a surprise attack to kill him on the spot.
After Graveson's sneak attack was successful, he will probably continue to look for opportunities and his attention should still be on me. Under the pincer attack from both my army and Xin Bi Tian Gao's, the guards responsible for protection have all been mobilized, constantly moving, changing positions, and replenishing defenses to block the tide of attacks from the Terror Knight Legion. Its surroundings can be said to be safe, but its own defense has become relatively lax, and the guarding personnel have been emptied and are seriously insufficient, which provides an opportunity for their airborne raid. Although it is a bit risky, the situation is critical and it has to be launched.
First there was a shrill scream, and Xiaobai launched the "Banshee Howl", which made Graveson and the guards around him unable to concentrate well. In the sky, Taotao, the blood bat couple, and the two flying fire ghosts Daxiu and Guben appeared from different directions, but they were not in a hurry to rush to the ground to attack. They just hovered at the edge of the corpse wizard's attack range, sometimes high and sometimes low, to attract their attention. The real killer was the vampire Count Saman, who displayed the "Blood Shadow Clone" skill and pounced on Graveson from five directions. At the same time, he dived and continuously spit out blood mist to hide his body and confuse the attacks from the ground.
Although I believe that Shaman's tyrannical strength is definitely above Graveson, after all, this is its first time to participate in actual combat, and it has taken on such an important task. My heart is still hanging in the air, very nervous, for fear that it will encounter any accident. Fortunately, Shaman's five clones were quite agile, and they avoided the hundreds of "death cloud bombs" that lacked aiming and were hastily fired at it one by one. They only suffered a small part of the attack, but suffered a little loss at the hands of Graveson. In the face of danger, it still showed its strength as a witch king, and was not disturbed too much by the "Banshee's Wail". It responded to Shaman's surprise attack in time, and a super-large "death cloud bomb" with a diameter of about one meter was quickly fired, accurately hitting the target, and directly destroyed one of Shaman's clones with one blow. At the same time, another clone suddenly stopped in the air without any warning and disappeared, obviously being attacked by Graveson's "mental attack". He can still have such accurate observation ability under the constantly emerging blood mist . His strength is indeed not to be underestimated.
However, when they were close enough, Graveson's position was already covered by the blood mist spewed by Shaman. With its ability, it was not enough to get rid of the blood mist and was trapped inside, unable to attack Shaman. Shaman, under the cover of the blood mist, quickly approached the ground, and the three surviving clones merged into one, turned back to their original form, and landed near Graveson.
