Chapter 783: Unwilling to Fail
Thick smoke rolled from the giant's body in the direction of the retreat of the Baltic Empire's army, and everything on the ground disappeared into a thick fog, as if in the fog there were countless beasts, gnawing at everything they could touch.
The legends who were battling famine and plague had to give up their hard-won advantage and retreat, and the giants of countless undead ghosts were slowly advancing beyond what they could handle.
In the face of the war, the team was also retreating, they were very unwilling, thinking that if they could be given five minutes to take off the head of the war, they would be able to make their reputation resound throughout the main plane, and they would be able to get enough rewards from the imperial side to make their hearts flutter.
In the current situation, they should be more concerned with their own survival than the things that need to be considered by killing the war, and how to escape from the trap arranged by the enemy.
The three knights of war, famine, and plague gathered together, and they looked up at the giant's figure in the distance, thinking about how to keep the plan running smoothly.
The giants of the undead and the ghosts are still moving slowly, probably because of their inexperience, the giants are walking very slowly, and they have been driven by the Baltic Empire for some distance.
The giant tried to make a long-range attack, condensing the ghost into a ball of energy to throw, but such an attack could not break through the enemy's legendary defenses, or was blocked by countless ice crystals made of snowflakes, or burned by a shield made of lava, and there was no way to achieve any results.
Around this giant, a counterattack from the Baltic Empire was underway, and a light rain fell in the sky, and the small raindrops naturally converged and combined in mid-air, and finally turned into arm-thick crossbow arrows and fell.
These bed crossbows successfully hit the giant, and at the moment of piercing, the crossbow arrows turned into an ice-blue mist and began to freeze everything around them, and ice-blue marks began to appear on the black giant's body.
The sudden frost disrupted the giant's steps, and the molten lava on the ground turned into bolts that shot at the giant from the bottom up.
Ice and lava were eating away at the giant's body, and countless ghosts dissipated between the cold, and the giant, imprisoned in place by the ice and lava, began to shrink in size.
However, the degree of shrinkage is too small for the human eye to catch such a change, as if it had changed from 200 million to 199.99 million, and the giant walked leisurely through the ice and lava without influence.
Because of the undead and ghosts, the cage of cooled magma could not hinder him, there was no way to stop him from moving forward, not only that, but I don't know if it was because the attack just now angered the giant, and his speed began to increase, from a slow walk to a trot.
The land near the giant was covered in a thick fog, and even the slowly flowing lava was robbed of its heat and turned into a charred, icy solid rock, which would have been very fertile if it had not been for the erosion of negative energy.
Those who are good at using frozen spells have switched to other spells, as ice magic is very limited in what it can do for undead such as ghosts, and can only rely on the ability in the ice to deal damage.
After all, the undead are not afraid of the cold, and the disembodied ghosts do not care about freezing, and they can easily travel through the freezing of water vapor.
Fiery red clouds began to appear in the sky, and raindrops of fire burning with air fell from the sky, turning the whole black-gray giant into flames, but on closer inspection, this layer of flame only floated on the surface, resisted by a light gray mist, as stubborn as the layer of butter floating on the surface in a soup pot.
Even if there is a legendary fire rain technique, its power still can't really bring harm to the giant, of course, no one will pay attention to this, pay attention to whether the Baltic Empire can defeat this giant.
The soldiers of the Attila Empire and the Baltic Empire are desperately fleeing, and they cannot afford any delay, because the delay at this time is not only time, but also their lives.
No one had the confidence that they would survive after being swallowed by the gray mist, and the wails of the ghosts that surrounded their ears made them sure of that.
Compared to the soldiers of the Baltic Empire, who were the main target, the soldiers of the Attila Empire were much luckier, and the target of the giant's pursuit was placed on the Baltic Empire's army, and they would not deliberately chase them.
Escaping from the battlefield is just the beginning, they will also face punishment from the Attila Empire after returning to their hometown, and soldiers who flee from the battlefield without receiving an order to retreat will be defined as deserters and will be wanted by the Attila Empire, and their families will be affected and persecuted by the Atilla Empire.
This used to be a desperate question, but now that the Attila Empire State Building is about to fall, they can hide and wait for the Baltic Empire to arrive.
At this time, the speed of the giant's advance began to slow down, not because the fire rain technique finally broke through the giant's defenses and really dealt him damage, but because the giant had stepped into the land covered by the positive energy of the Baltic Empire's spellcaster just now.
Giants of the undead and ghosts are naturally averse to positive energy, and if death is not being manipulated by the core, they will subconsciously stop.
They are more averse to contact with these positive energies than to drive away creatures that make them unhappy, because the former causes only unhappiness, while the latter is an aversion that can cause them harm.
As the giant crossed the land, the Baltic Empire's spellcasters began to make other preparations, and they had now given up their original plan to deal with the four knights here, but it was not another option to settle the giant in a second.
This giant is made up of the ghosts of the land of Upplan, and if these ghosts can be put to sleep forever, then the problems of the land of Upland can be solved as well.
After the loss of these ghosts, even if there is no human intervention, the negative energy here will gradually dissipate like water without a source, and the land eroded by the negative energy will slowly recover under the sunlight.
Their army had arrived here, and the planned goal had been achieved, which was to settle the conflict between the Yeats and the Baltic Empire at this stage.
Now, if the problem of the land of Uppland can be solved by solving this giant, it is worth trying for the current army of the Baltic Empire.
Originally, it was very troublesome to solve Upland's problem, but now that death has gathered all the ghosts here, just solving this giant is solving all the ghosts, so the complex problem is simplified.
The fire rain spell continued, and the entire sky turned into a rain curtain of flames, a world cheered by flames
Then, the thick clouds in the sky were pierced by foreign objects, and seven meteors that shone red and dragged their tail flames down towards the giant's location, and after breaking through the giant's outer defenses, they exploded in the twin.
Terrifying white heat flames raged
The face of the giant's body is distorted wantonly, and the ghost is afraid of fire, and likes to live in a cold and lonely plane with no light, no heat.
As effective as the textbooks say
Joy began to appear on the caster's face, and they began to build a world of fire around the giant, and casters who were not good at using fire magic attacked with positive energy-related magic.
They are very unfamiliar with the use of positive energy, because in the main plane, in the case of rarely encountering undead, positive energy seems to be very weak, and not many spellcasters will focus on such chicken magic to be truly proficient.
Therefore, although the positive energy can restrain the negative energy to a large extent, the use of these spellcasters at this time can only barely make the giant sluggish.
It's the flames that really do the damage
But at this moment, the casters who were preparing for the spell took a breath, and their faces turned extremely pale, which was due to the failure of the spell.
The negative effects of a failed cast make it impossible for these casters to enter the battlefield for a short period of time, but it is very critical to the overall situation, as it will disrupt the overall attack rhythm.
"It's the power of the plague. ”
Bud said assertently.
The power of the plague can often play an unexpected role in dealing with the caster, using the caster who is chanting the spell to be interrupted by sudden sneezes and coughs, and the backlash of a failed spell will cause damage to the caster, both physically and mentally.
"Be careful, war and famine have not yet been launched. ”
Bud told those spellcasters that the actions of those knights just now were completely showing weakness to the enemy, not that Bud had been prepared for the corresponding defeat before, and now it was really not just a retreat, but a rout, or even the annihilation of the entire army.
The remaining casters began to get serious, admitting that their enemies were as difficult as they were written in the books, and that the slightest carelessness would lead them to defeat and fall into the abyss from which they would never recover.
Sure enough, they felt that their physical strength, energy, and magic power were rapidly depleted, and the speed of consumption was increasing with the passage of time, and some of the weaker spellcasters quickly withdrew from the ranks of spellcasters and walked on the carriage.
In order to keep the distance between the two sides and not be attacked by the giant, all the casters kept moving, and the weaker ones stood on the wagon to cast spells.
At this time, the world of flames has been completely formed, everything that can be burned is burning, even the air has become the nutrients for the flame to burn, as the air in the middle is consumed by the flames, the surrounding air begins to flow towards the middle, forming a violent wind.
And the spellcasters of the Baltic Empire are taking advantage of the conditions they have now to start a real attack on that giant, and the previous fire rain and meteors are essentially temptations.
The flames began to converge towards the center, and began to converge into the appearance of a three-headed snake, and the world that had turned red was once again shrouded in darkness, leaving only the three-headed snake that was confronting the giant.
"Don't waste time, don't forget about the power of war and famine. ”
Bud shouted that the power of the plague could hardly have an effect on the flames, but war was different from famine, where war increased one's own strength, while famine increased the consumption of the enemy.
The three-headed snake opened its mouth and spewed red flames at the giant, and as it squirted, it controlled its body and began to move forward, leaving a charred black trail on the ground where it moved.
The giant was roaring, and the faces on his body, each of them making a different sound, and countless sounds came together to form a tune.
I don't know which god of death composed a requiem that allows both the living and the dead to fall into eternal sleep
The indescribable song easily crossed the distance of space and reached the ears of the soldiers, and they fell straight to the ground, with not the fear of death on their faces, but the joy of being able to sleep peacefully without thinking about any troubles.
"Give the dead eternal sleep that they cannot refuse. ”
At this time, Bud really understood why this fame had the name of death.
"Block it!"
Bud's roar echoed in the air, a war cry that could be grouped into the category of Spirits, and could be magically like a roar in different tones.
The sound waves reverberated rapidly through the air, and Bud's roar did not completely undo the effects of the Requiem, but it was enough to give the caster time to take action.
Thin, transparent-colored enchantments appeared in mid-air, ripples echoing across the barriers, and it was clear that the effects of the Requiem were only temporarily isolated
To solve the problem once and for all, it is necessary to kill the giant made up of ghosts and undead
On the opposite side of the giant, the three-headed fiery serpent had successfully approached the giant, because it had no soul and was simply an aggregate of the fire elemental, so the requiem did not work on the three-headed fiery serpent
If divided by strength, this three-headed fire snake created by the cooperation of double-digit legends is not much behind those demigods in terms of strength.
At least for a short time, the three-headed fiery serpent was able to compete with the giant, and the flames of the three-headed fiery serpent made the giant feel very uncomfortable, and his protection was constantly weakened.
Despite this, the power of the famine still acted on the body of the three-headed fire serpent, and the detached flames were rapidly extinguished, and in such a situation, the defeat of the three-headed fire snake could be doomed.
