Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 158: Turning Point of Victory and Defeat
After a lingering battle, Long Xing Tian Xia, A Feng, and Desert Eagle also withdrew from the meeting hall one after another. The water magician in the rear replenished their health and mental strength. After a short rest, they recovered some physical strength and fought again. Other companions took over and continued to launch a fierce attack, determined not to let the enemy have a chance to breathe. We dare not hope to achieve the rule of "no member of the defending party survives in the meeting hall within an hour" and end the battle in advance. Although this will retain more functions of the Huadu resident, especially the meeting hall, and the value of the mercenary group indicators obtained will be greater, the opponent's strength is there, and it is not easy to deal with. It is enough to kill all the enemies in the meeting hall within the time limit of twelve hours and obtain a basic victory. Supreme Honor: They occupied the geographical advantage of the conference hall, but they were isolated and surrounded by us, cut off from external support. The number of personnel inside was limited, and the death of one person weakened their strength. Although the total number of attackers and defenders participating in the garrison battle was the same, the enemy was divided while we were focused. In this part of the conference hall, we had the advantage in numbers and could use a rotation battle to deal with them.
Of course, the enemies in other places in the Huadu garrison would not sit idly by and watch us besiege the meeting hall. They left their garrisons one after another, gathered together, and came to support us in an organized manner, attacking our defense line, intending to contain our actions to attack the meeting hall, and were engaged in a fierce battle with the companions guarding the periphery. However, if we left the fortifications, the enemy would have no advantage at all. Although we had sent many players to attack the meeting hall directly, we had a large group of undead legions to help us, which could effectively consume the enemy's manpower and defend the area around the meeting hall, forming a solid defense line. No matter how fiercely the opponent attacked, they would never be able to break through and rescue the enemies in the meeting hall.
The time left for us was limited, so we dared not delay any longer. After recovering our status, we made some adjustments and briefly discussed the tactics. Then, Long Xing Tian Xia, A Feng and I rushed into the meeting hall again. The shock effect of the "Death Field" was not very threatening to the hostile players who deliberately retreated and mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare. There were enemies everywhere, and there were too many places for me to be distracted. Without my specific command, the White Bone Dragon's ability to coordinate operations was really not good, and it was difficult to seize the opportunity and quickly hit the opponent hard in a short period of time. Therefore, we changed our tactics and reduced the release frequency of the "Death Ripple" to the minimum, so that Long Xing Tian Xia, A Feng, and Desert Eagle could enter the "Death Field" - for knights with higher defense, the damage caused by the lowest frequency of the "Death Ripple" was still affordable, and without the restriction of reducing the attack and defense sensitivity by 40%, they could fully exert their combat effectiveness and strive to kill the enemies who dared to block me to the maximum extent. If we could attract Supreme Honor , Holy Heaven and the others to come and have a head-on confrontation, that would naturally be a more ideal result.
After such an adjustment, we acted together, and the threat to the enemy increased immediately. The White Bone Dragon was responsible for protecting me and blocking the opponent 's attack, while Long Xing Tianxia, A Feng and others joined forces to besiege a certain target and fight to kill them. If ordinary masters could not get support from their companions in time, it would be difficult to escape their pursuit. This further reduced the threat of the enemy to me, so I accelerated the advancement speed, looking for areas where the enemy was concentrated to break through and disrupt their actions, which temporarily messed up the enemy's defense line, making it difficult for them to respond to each other and unable to effectively block our attack.
Even in this situation, the holders of the artifacts, Supreme Honor and Lost World, still refused to rush over to fight our strongest moved to other places, wantonly killing our weaker players, and from time to time, they tried to attack the companions who provided us with long-range support near the gate to contain our attack. If we choose to chase them, it would be too passive, so we did the same thing and attacked the magicians and archers deep in the meeting hall. If we can destroy their attack and prevent them from organizing an effective resistance, it will also be of great help to our attack.
Although the "Death Field" was maintained at the maximum coverage area of 100 meters, the release frequency of the "Death Ripple" was kept at a minimum, which allowed me to hold on for a longer time. With the cooperation of the White Bone Dragon and Long Xing Tianxia, we led dozens of players who followed us and approached the central area of the meeting hall step by step, forcing the enemy magicians and shooters in the rear to gradually retreat and keep a distance from us. However, they were only willing to send pets and angels to tangle with us, and did not dispatch more melee professional players to strengthen the interception of us, as if they were deliberately letting us go straight in. Although we all had this feeling, we didn't know what tricks they were playing. We couldn't just turn back and dare not move forward. We could only be more careful, advance steadily, and pay attention to strengthening our own protection.
Seeing that we have crossed the central axis of the meeting hall, as long as the other party dares to continue to let us push forward and squeeze those archers and magicians into a relatively small area, no matter what they are plotting, I will make them fail miserably and suffer a big loss. However, the enemy did not give us another chance to show off their power and had already launched their means. I saw a faint yellow light on the ground near where we were standing. Judging from the shape, it should be centered on a certain point on the central axis of the meeting hall. The radius of the covered area is about two or three hundred meters. Then the light became stronger and stronger, and a beam of light shot upwards, covering us and the dozens of players following behind, of course, including the white bone dragons circling in the sky. Being covered by the light means being within the range of influence. No matter what the enemy launches, it will definitely not be a good thing for us. It is best to get rid of it in time. But before we can take action, we feel a flash in front of our eyes, and the surrounding environment has changed into another appearance. We are no longer standing in the meeting room, but on a mountain, halfway up the mountain. And those who are caught here are our members who are covered by the yellow light, and the enemy is not affected.
I was surprised. Before I could see the surrounding environment clearly, I felt the ground under my feet shaking violently. Fortunately, I was still maintaining the "Death Domain" and was not affected by the external environment. Such shaking could not interfere with my actions. Long Xingtianxia and the White Bone Dragon who were also in the "Death Domain" were naturally not affected. However, the companions outside the domain did not have such a good treatment. They staggered and almost fell down, unable to stabilize their bodies. Even the knights and pets flying in the sky were not able to escape the disaster. Although they were not affected by the shaking of the ground, they seemed to be subjected to several times the gravity. They no longer had the ability to fly easily in the sky. They were shaky and slow in movement. The higher they flew, the greater the impact of gravity, so they could only struggle hard close to the ground. The situation was not much better than that of the companions standing on the ground.
I have understood that we have obviously fallen into a trap set up in the Huadu Council Hall, which is powerful and comparable to a forbidden spell. It is said that only a powerful forbidden spell-level magic can produce such a space change phenomenon similar to the power of the field. What is happening in front of us is just an appetizer before the main meal. Our suffering should have just begun. And the facts soon confirmed my guess. Along with the shaking, the mountain made a series of rumbling sounds. Soon, large rocks fell from the sky and quickly fell on us. Although it was not as dense as rain, the space left for us to dodge was extremely limited. If we were not careful or lacked some luck, we might be injured by being hit by several large rocks. The shaking of the mountain and the influence of gravity also increased the difficulty of our dodging. Companions were constantly injured by the hitting of large rocks.
I had originally planned to invite other companions to take refuge in the "Death Field", but facing the numerous falling rocks, it would be more difficult for everyone to dodge in a small area, which might accelerate our death. Moreover, I had to do my best to avoid the constantly falling rocks, and there was no way to take care of more companions. In addition to trying to keep myself safe, I could only reluctantly command a few white-bone dragons to desperately protect Afeng, Long Xingtianxia, and Desert Eagle. In critical moments, I would sacrifice myself to use my body to resist the impact of the rocks for them. We can be said to be the absolute main force of this attack on the meeting hall. If we all died here and were killed by a magic circle, it would inevitably greatly affect the morale of the resistance alliance, and it is even very likely to lead to the failure of this attack on Huadu. No matter what, I must do my best to maintain their safety. Such a large forbidden spell-level magic circle should not be able to last for too long. I hope that at least a few of our leaders can successfully survive. Fortunately, I possess the "Control of Death", which gives me stronger control over these higher-level undead subordinates. Otherwise, they would be more likely to accept my orders to protect me at all costs, but if I asked them to sacrifice themselves for irrelevant outsiders, they might resist and I might not be able to provide timely protection.
The rocks were everywhere, and we couldn't get rid of them no matter where we hid. Even though the other companions tried their best to get close to me, they also hid in the "Death Field". Unfortunately, there was no white bone dragon to protect them, or because of their profession, they were not very agile. They could hide for a while, but not for a long time. They were smashed to death one after another. Even more than 30 white bone dragons couldn't stand the constant smashing, especially because they had to distract themselves to protect us, so they had more and were not spared. Fortunately, Xiaobai and Kekexili were left outside the meeting hall by me. The eleven four-armed giant magicians did not accompany us because they moved too slowly. Guben and Shaman relied on their unaffected movements in the "Death Field". With their quick body movements, they were not in great danger. The casualties were only some white bone dragons that were easier to replenish. We didn't have to worry about their lives and deaths. We could do our best to send them to bear the smashing of the rocks for us. Otherwise, I'm afraid we really couldn't hold on.
Relying on the power of the "Death Field" and the protection of a group of white-bone dragons, I, Long Xing Tianxia, Desert Eagle, and A Feng finally survived the impact of the big rocks, got rid of the illusion created by the magic circle, and reappeared in the original position of the meeting hall. Of the dozens of players who were caught in the magic circle, only four of us survived, of course, we inevitably had some injuries, and even among the more than 30 white-bone dragons, only two were seriously injured and dying. If the effect of the magic circle lasted a little longer, without their protection, I'm afraid none of us would be spared.
As we appeared, the yellow light covering the area quickly dimmed, and the beams of light also shrank into the ground, and there was no longer any abnormality. This kind of forbidden spell-level magic array technology was just invented not long ago. It is not easy to set up. It requires a variety of rare raw materials, which are not easy to gather. At the same time, the failure rate is extremely high. Unless you are very lucky, it often requires a high amount of capital investment based on the current technical conditions. It seems that no mercenary group dares to take the risk to try it, but the power is indeed amazing. Even top masters like Long Xing Tian Xia and Da Mo Fei Ying would not be able to escape without my careful care. It's a pity that the Supreme Honor still didn't know the specific capabilities of the "Death Field" after all. They wanted to seize the opportunity to catch all of us leaders in one fell swoop, but they overestimated the power of the magic array and we escaped this disaster. Moreover, a forbidden spell-level magic circle not only requires the joint efforts of multiple magicians of the same department to activate it, which will exhaust their mental strength, health points and physical strength, but also requires multiple holy magic crystals of holy beasts of the same department to replenish the consumed energy. It cannot be activated continuously in a short period of time. From now on, there is no need to worry about threats in this regard.
However, we are still in danger and have not escaped the threat of death. Perhaps to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, the enemy has deployed heavy troops around us, led by several artifact holders of Supreme Honor and Holy Heaven. When the magic circle lost its effect and discovered us, they immediately rushed over, probably wanting to kill us in one fell swoop and not give us a chance to survive. They really know how to choose the time for a decisive battle. They have been hiding before and only took advantage of us when we were at our weakest. The companions nearby either died in the magic circle or were killed. The companions in the gate area saw the situation clearly and wanted to rush to rescue, but they were strongly blocked. It should be difficult to break through in a short time and rescue us in time. If we want to survive, we can only rely on our own strength.
Looking at the dense enemies around me and the "Holy Light Barrier" that formed a whole, even if I abandoned Long Xing Tian Xia, Desert Eagle and A Feng and transformed myself into a bat to escape alone, I was afraid I might not be able to escape successfully. I could only try my best. While issuing orders to call in the white bone dragons outside the conference hall for rescue, I observed the distribution of the enemies to see where to launch my attack so as to inflict the heaviest blow to the enemies.
The Supreme Honor has already activated the "Speed Wing Light Armor", and rushed to the front at an incredible speed. It seems that he is no longer so cautious about us, the few remaining soldiers. His fast speed, excellent close combat ability, and the "Holy Cross" that can attack from a distance are definitely a big threat to me who needs to maintain the "Death Field" but lacks sufficient protection. It is not so easy to contain or even kill him. Even if Ibola is faster than him, if he leaves the "Death Field" and increases or decreases his attack, defense and agility attributes by 40%, I am afraid it will be difficult to pose a fatal threat to him.
"I'll deal with Supreme Honor." Long Xingtianxia glared at the direction where Supreme Honor was rushing towards and said this fiercely. He raised his left hand above his chest, holding a black ball, and squeezed it hard with his five fingers together. I didn't feel anything standing next to him, but I saw that his body and Supreme Honor's body were emitting black light at the same time, and then disappeared without a trace.
It seems that this should be a pseudo-artifact used by the Magic Knight with a function similar to that of the "God's Realm", which can bring a single target into an independent space for battle. Looking at Long Xingtianxia's expression, he also felt reluctant. It was probably a pseudo-artifact with growth potential, which took a lot of merit to cultivate. Now the situation is critical, so he had to use it.
"Flying Eagle, Afeng, you two must protect me." I finally found the best place to attack. I hurriedly said this and launched the "Gate of Yellow Springs".
A black portal appeared out of thin air, connecting this place with another place that had been set up in the "Dead Soul Space". Although it didn't take very long to get the "Yellow Spring Gate", it was probably because its function was relatively simple. It just kept raising the level of the undead that passed through this gate, and the merits required were not as many as imagined. I, the "Devil King", was not just a name for nothing. I had killed a lot of bright players and NPCs during my many trips to the Western Continent, and earned a lot of merits. I had successfully raised the level of the undead subordinates who could pass through to the ninth level. If there was only one tenth-level undead, the Undead Ghost Feng Wuji, I'm afraid it would not be impossible to raise it to the tenth level. Moreover, I paid a little more merit to specifically increase the speed of the ninth-level upper-level undead passing through the "Yellow Spring Gate" so that more undead subordinates could arrive in the human world to participate in the battle within the limited fifteen minutes.
Because we have already planned to use the "Yellow Spring Gate" in the battle of the Council Hall, the other place in the "Dead Soul Space" has naturally been prepared, and the undead minions that need to fight are already in place. The first one is the intermediate destruction knight Ebola of the swift bee. Its speed, coupled with the "instant teleportation" ability possessed by the summoned Xiaobai, is absolutely a fatal threat to those players with weaker defense capabilities. The second one is the great pharaoh Khufu. The fifteen-minute battle time should not cause any serious damage to it. I will use the "Dead Soul" to treat it in time after returning to the "Dead Soul Space". The rest are all upper-level six-armed giant magicians of level nine. The ultra-long range and powerful "Torch Stone Bomb" will surely leave an unforgettable memory for the enemies gathered around.
