Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 27: Sharing the Victory (1)
Although we have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, 230,000 Terror Knights, performing "Flash Combo" and swarming forward, even if only one-fifth of them succeed, it is estimated that it is enough to knock Aristotle apart, but we dare not let the Terror Knights commanded by other Undead Wizards press forward and attack. In case the hostility is too strong, it will cause the "law enforcers" to "dislike" and include them in the attack range and determine them as targets for killing. Under the bombardment of "Flying Stones from the Sky", without our means of life-saving escape, death will consume 5% of the basic mental power. This price is really too high, and no Undead Wizard can afford it. So we only use the limited human wave tactics, and other Undead Wizards only play the role of harassment and consumption. The main force that really participates in the direct attack on Aristotle can only be the direct subordinates of our four witch kings - including 30,000 Terror Knights including 6,000 Terror Dragon Knights, and "elite" combat forces such as Khufu and Taotao.
Facing the numerous Horror Knights that were approaching us but did not actively attack them, Aristotle showed no mercy. He waved his eight hands in turn, throwing balls of "Torch Stone Bomb" one after another. Anyone who was hit head-on was almost killed in one blow. Few survived by chance, and even those who were just affected by the explosion would be seriously injured. For a time, people and horses fell down wherever the "Torch Stone Bomb" reached, and a passage was soon cleared. Aristotle took a big step and rushed towards the direction of our four witch kings along the road opened by the "Torch Stone Bomb". Some of the Horror Knights who were not dead did not retreat under the orders of their masters. They were blocked in the middle and were kicked away by two thick thighs. They fell and flew out one after another. Even if they did not die, they were seriously injured, which fully demonstrated the strong body of the giant magician.
In the initial stage of the war of attrition, we could only passively take the beatings. This tested the evasive skills of our four great wizard kings and the art of command of the participating undead wizards. Under the premise of ensuring our own safety, we tried to achieve the greatest effect of blocking the enemy at the lowest possible cost. The four of us took turns to attract the "Flying Stones from the Sky" and endure its attacks, while the other undead wizards hid in the distance and were strictly prohibited from approaching the battlefield. They only used their mental "remote control" to intercept the Terror Knights under their command and tried to prevent Aristotle from approaching us. Some of the more courageous ones even risked being counterattacked and instructed their subordinates to attack actively. However, those giant bears and wild lions were too incompetent and there were not many of them. Apart from sending them to their deaths, there was basically no effect. Aristotle didn't even bother to pay attention to them. He bombarded them if they were far away, and kicked them away if they rushed to the front. It was like an invincible war fortress, rampant and unscrupulous, and countless casualties were caused wherever he passed.
Of course, it is extremely passive to take such a response, but with our strength, we can only do so. With weak strength, we can challenge a much stronger existence. There is no other way to win except to fight in groups. Even if it is the strongest Pharaoh Khufu, who is equivalent to the level of the ninth-level lower-level Warcraft, without considering the influence of "Flying Stones from the Sky", it is impossible to fight against Aristotle at his peak state. After all, as a special type of NPC "Law Enforcer", in addition to the normal attack and defense index, it has received a large bonus in mental strength and physical strength, far surpassing the ordinary NPCs of the same level, and it will be twice as difficult to kill. In the battle of the weak defeating the strong, there is no individual hero. It is almost like sending oneself to death. It depends on relying on numbers and teamwork. One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people. How can you get the due reward without paying a considerable price!
Even though I had been mentally prepared for the power of "Flying Stones from the Sky", I still felt a little scared when I really endured its attack. After all, "thump, thump" dozens of stones fell on my head. If I was a little slow to dodge, I would probably be hit by a few of them. Qingwu Feiyang's "Phantom Escape" is more suitable for dealing with this kind of range magic with a small attack radius. As long as I dodge in time, I can quickly escape the attack range. The effect of my "external incarnation" is not as good. There are too many hundreds of clones flying around, and I can't control them finely. With continuous use, I will be hit by a few from time to time, which seems to be a bit disadvantageous. However, after sacrificing about forty clones, I can control them one by one, and it is not easy to be hurt by "Flying Stones from the Sky". After a period of chaos in the early stage, I gradually adapted to the rhythm of the "Flying Stones from the Sky". Qingwu Feiyang and I took turns to lure each other and get a chance to breathe. We cooperated more and more skillfully, and there should be no problem for the time being.
Although Qiushui Changtian and his men did not appear to be under direct attack and were not in great danger, their mission was the most important. They had to command their Terror Knights to entangle Aristotle tightly and prevent the "Torch Stone Bomb" and "Flying Stones" from attacking us. Without their strong cooperation and trying to consume Aristotle's mental and physical strength, Qingwu Feiyang and I's "strategy of luring the enemy" would lose its effectiveness, and it would be impossible to win this "war against the heavens".
The attack radius of 500 meters was really amazing. Although there was a certain interval between casting, the eight hands took turns to cast the "Torch Stone Bomb" which was not dense, but quite compact, enough to deal with the "feint attack" of a group of terror knights. In order to better cover Qiu Shui Chang Tian and Tian Xing and avoid wasting their physical strength, Qing Wu Fei Yang and I could not throw Aristotle too far while dodging the "Flying Stones from the Sky". We also had to attract its attention and induce it to take us as the main attack targets and approach us step by step, so as to maximize the effect with limited physical strength.
The flying speed of the little bat was such that even with Aristotle's tall legs and long strides, he was unable to catch up with it smoothly due to the interference of the Terror Knights. However, we also paid a heavy price. At least more than five thousand Terror Knights were killed or injured by the "Torch Blast".
After the bombardment, Aristotle paused for a moment. He held a "torch stone bomb" in each of his eight hands at the same time, and then swung his eight arms together, but did not throw them far away. All of them exploded around him, and people and horses were thrown to the ground. There was no Terror Knight standing within a range of more than ten meters. At the same time, a dark circular door with a diameter of nearly twenty meters suddenly appeared behind it, looking like a bottomless deep hole. Then Aristotle stopped all actions and did not continue to attack. He stood still for about a minute, and suddenly took a step back and entered the "black door". His figure faded and disappeared from our sight. Several Terror Knights who rushed over either did not stop in time or did it deliberately at the instruction of their master, and also rushed to the huge "black door", but they successfully crossed it without any impact, as if the "black door" did not exist.
