Chapter 32 The Battle of the Imperial Tomb, the Name of the Holy Monk

Almost immediately after Li Qing's warning, the first "death bug" broke through the sand in the camp and drilled out of the ground.

A patrol happened to pass by the road between the camps, and the moment they found the "Death Bug", Li Qing's burst of powerful runic power resounded throughout the camp.

"Be careful, everyone, it's a death bug!"

"Form a formation, raise a shield, and watch out for venom!"

All the soldiers who entered the Shurima Desert had all seen the atlas of the native species that threatened humans in the desert, and had also conducted targeted defense drills, so the 10-person patrol team did not panic the moment they saw this death insect, and the five large shields immediately blocked in front of them, and the other five soldiers quickly wound the crossbows on their arms, and the three crossbow arrows were also buckled at the launch port.

"Ready, attack!! Ah~~ Be careful" The leader of this patrol squad just gave the order to attack, and he let out a miserable scream. He felt a huge pain in his back as if someone had poured a basin of sulfuric acid on him, and his flesh seemed to melt in an instant.

Behind them, two large "death bugs" appeared again, and one of them opened its huge mouth and spewed out a stream of acid, which happened to spray right on the back of the patrol team leader.

"Be careful, !! behind us"

Several of the soldiers who had set up their crossbows turned around quickly, and the crossbow arrows whizzed out.

It's a pity that these small dozen crossbow arrows shot at the body of the "Death Worm", which was ten meters in size, like scratching the boots, and had no effect.

At this time, the camp of the Valoran coalition army was in chaos, and for a moment, the screams of human beings resounded in the sky above this desert.

However, there is still no shortage of elite masters in this Valoran coalition army with a number of 300,000, and many generals and elite soldiers have already turned over after Li Qing's first warning, calling on their comrades to move closer to themselves, and at the same time picking up weapons and guarding carefully.

There is a "death bug" is very unfortunate, it appeared next to a military tent with a number of about 150 people, and before it could rush into the massacre, more than a dozen fireballs had been shot out of the military tent, and then hundreds of arrows were shot densely, among which dozens of white runes were haunted by the power of white runes, which were shot by the elite masters in the tent.

This death insect was first caught off guard by the flames, and then baptized by the rain of arrows, instantly turned into a porcupine, and the dozen or so lethal rune arrows were deeply inserted into its body, and then burst twice, blowing up a basin-sized wound in its body, and the fatal arrow happened to drill into its brain, blowing up its brain to pieces, and this "death bug" was killed by the soldiers in this military tent in this instant.

Similar to this kind of rapid counterattack, many of them eventually succeeded in this continuous camp area, but many more were caught off guard by death insects into the military tent, and the Valoran coalition army suffered heavy casualties.

The 16 searchlights above the eight pyramids have swept towards the camp, looking at the dense below, countless "death bugs", the Pittover soldiers operating the searchlights have turned pale with fright, they resisted the urge to turn around and run away, gritted their teeth and insisted on continuing to turn the searchlights, and the main targets of the light were placed on those teams that were gradually successfully gathering and starting to launch a counterattack against the "death bugs" little by little.

"Bang!"

A large "Death Bug" was kicked into the air, and its body exploded into several pieces.

Several green acid spurts staggered, and Li Qing, who had just killed the death insect, disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he had already come to the center of several death insects gathered together in a triangular shape.

"Thunder breaks!! Break tendons and bones!! ”

Li Qing's right hand was as red as red-hot charcoal, and he slapped his palm on the sand below, countless fine sand carried a violent high temperature and swept around with Li Qing as the center, and several "death insects" were instantly seconded, and if you looked closely at their corpses, you would find that they had been beaten into a sieve by dense fine sand.

"Sky Sonic Wave! Echo Kick!! ”

Li Qing reappeared, and he had already flashed to the side of another "death insect" more than ten meters away, and kicked it to pieces with a heavy kick, saving more than 20 ordinary soldiers who were struggling to resist this death insect.

Since losing his sight, Li Qing has created another new technique, he can use the power of runes in his body to generate echoes from the air after shocking, which is used to determine the direction and size of objects. The echo falling on the body of the living body can exist in their body for a short time, and Li Qing can use the echo shock in his body to quickly pull his body towards the other party.

The echo in Li Qing's body continued to transmit to the surroundings, feeling the fluctuation of the echo, his face became more and more ugly.

This can't be done, the soldiers are too scattered, and we will definitely be consumed here if we continue to fight like this, so we need to find General Zelos quickly. Li Qing made a quick decision in his heart.

"All soldiers, move closer to me in a defensive formation, and come with me to rescue General Zeroth!!"

After Li Qing rescued a team of more than 30 soldiers again, he shouted at the surroundings in an echo shock.

Soon, hundreds of people gathered around Li Qing, and as more and more soldiers were killed in the camp, the team gradually grew larger, and when the humans formed a group, they resisted the attacks of the death insects around them and became more and more orderly.

The 16 searchlights above the pyramid quickly spotted the changes in the small area below, and four of the headlights turned their heads at the same time and shot in unison, guiding the group to approach the area of Zeloth's military tent.

Gradually, Li Qing's team has gathered forty or fifty thousand people, the outermost two layers of the team are the Noxian soldiers who are more ferocious and fearless than the "death bugs", the third and fourth layers are the Pittover and Zuan soldiers, they are behind the defensive formation of the Noxian soldiers, constantly shooting, throwing grenades and various chemical bombs, the central layer is the combined lineup of Ionians and Yodelers, they are armed with various styles of long-range bows and arrows, and shoot into the air in a projectile way, Increases range, distance, and bow impact after falling.

The 300,000 Valoran coalition camp, after the first 40 minutes of chaos, has gradually stabilized, and more and more soldiers are organized by various powerful figures or generals to resist in an orderly manner.

There were still a few teams like Li Qing's that were moving slowly, and judging from the direction of travel, these teams were all moving in the direction of the general's tent where Zelos was. However, the largest team was only about 10,000 people, and the rest of the teams were only in the thousands.

From this comparison, it can be seen that Li Qing's heritage, whether it is command ability or personal strength, this blind monk who is inconspicuous and leaky, is worthy of the capital that once stood side by side with the first person under the god "Soraka".

The tent of the Great General of Zelos is backed by the largest of the eight pyramids, and more than 20,000 soldiers of the coalition army have gathered around the tent, and the "Death Bugs" who sneak up from the ground seem to know that this area is extremely important, so the monsters gathered here are also the largest, more than 5,000 Death Bugs surround this huge pyramid, and they are fearless to launch a charge under the support of human beings.

"General!! Hurry up and take refuge in the pyramids, where the passages are narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can last for a long time. ”

The chief of Zeroth's guard anxiously tugged at Zeroth, who was still fighting in front of the battle, trying to drag him to the rear, where there was a passage surrounded by hundreds of guards soldiers, and at the end of the passage was the entrance to the pyramid.

"Shut up!! Lao Tzu is the supreme commander of this coalition army! The warriors are fighting, and you made me hide in a hole! If you dare to say something like this, I'll kill you!! ”

Zelos pushed away his chief guard with his left hand, slashed the front with a long sword, cut off several tentacles of a "Death Bug", and then inserted a sword into the largest compound eye in the center of the "Death Bug", behind this compound eye is the brain of the "Death Bug", and Zelos also understood the life of this bug.

"General, your life is much more important than mine, and it is more important than everyone here, even if you kill me now, I will do what I have to do! Please, General, please retreat into the pyramids!! ”

The chief of the guard stopped Zelos again, who was about to rush to the front line, knelt in front of him, hugged Zeroth's right leg tightly, and pleaded bitterly.

"Get the hell out of the way!!" With a roar of rage, Zelos raised his right leg and kicked the captain of the guard into the crowd of guards, while he himself raised his sword again, standing with the retreating soldiers in front of him, supporting the line of defense.

At this time, at the very top of the pyramid where Zelos's tent was located, one of the observation posts seemed to have noticed something, he raised his binoculars and shouted to his colleagues beside him: "Southwest, 9 o'clock, shine the searchlight there!!" ”

One of the 16 searchlights that had been constantly shining on the marching camp reversed its angle and shone in the direction indicated by the observation post.

"Horn~click~click~" The telescope slipped from the trembling hands of the observation post, rolled and fell from the top of the pyramid dozens of meters high, and broke into a pile of pieces.

"Enemy, enemy, enemy attack!!! Void, emptiness, monsters, things! Southwest direction! Quantity, super, over, hundred, thousand!! The observation sentry held the communication station, his eyes bloodshot, his face flushed with almost all his strength, and he shouted this sentence hoarsely.

On the periphery of the ten-mile camp of the Valoran coalition army, the soldiers on the mobile defensive wall originally turned the muzzles and muzzles of their guns, and continued to bombard the large army of "death worms" that sneaked into the camp from the ground.

The five-meter-tall steel moving city wall in the southwest direction was hit violently by the first violent impact, and then one after another violent impact followed, and without the support of sufficient long-range firepower, the southwest city wall only supported for less than 10 minutes, and was rushed by the void monsters like a tide, and a large hole was broken with their bodies and lives.

The marching camp of the Valoran coalition, after entering the battle from the void monsters, has been completely reduced to a human purgatory, and the human coalition forces have fallen into a long-planned massacre.

In the camp area, Li Qing and several teams that were slowly approaching Zelos fused again, and with a distance of about a thousand meters, they could reach the pyramid area where Zelos was located.

"Master! Are you alright?! Udil, whose face was covered with dust and blood, saw Li Qing, who was directing the killing of the enemy not far away, and shouted.

In the night, Li Qing nodded slightly in the direction where the voice came from, and then slapped his palm heavily into the ground, shattering the body of a "death bug" with tentacles that was about to emerge.

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable commotion at the rear of Li Qing's large army, and this chaos was transmitted as quickly as a plague, and it was so serious in an instant that it was about to affect the defensive formation of the entire army.

"Senior Li Qing, who saw Senior Li Qing? Where is Li Qing's senior?? ”

In the chaotic army in the rear, Li Qing heard this somewhat green, but very familiar voice.

He quickly released echo positioning, his figure swam rapidly in the crowd, and in an instant, he came to the young man's side, patted him on the shoulder and asked in a deep voice, "Ike, what's going on in the rear?" ”

Ike turned his head, and when he saw that Li Qing had come to the front, his slightly flustered face finally calmed down again.

"Senior Li Qing, there are void monsters behind us, the number is too many to estimate, and now the outer defensive walls have all been broken through, I don't know why, they are not fighting with the "death bugs" in the desert, the two sides are cooperating in the rear of attacking us, and the soldiers can no longer resist. ”

After listening to Ike's report, Li Qing concentrated his mind and exuded a more powerful echo perception to feel the echo fluctuations of creatures from afar, and soon, Li Qing understood the reason, the echo band in the body of the "Death Bug" was unexpectedly consistent with the echo band in the body of the Void Monster, which means that the "Death Bug", which was originally considered by the Valoran Continent to be the original species of the desert, is simply a branch of the Void Monster.

After thinking about these things thoroughly, Li Qing ordered Ike to take the remaining soldiers to quickly go to the camp of Zelos to rescue Zelos and Irelia and other high-ranking generals of the coalition army, and if there is a chance, take them to hide inside the pyramid as much as possible, the passages and space inside are limited, and they are suitable for human combat, not suitable for the attack of huge creatures such as death bugs and void monsters. As long as you keep enough men to wait for other reinforcements, the pyramid should be able to hold out for a long time.

After sending Ike away, Li Qing found Udir from the chaos again.

At this time, Udir had just changed into a tiger form, and cast a burst of tiger claw chain palms, directly tearing two death insects more than ten meters into pieces, and after the wanton battle, the mood was agitated, Udir raised his head and let out a tiger roar, and the remaining death insects around the shock retreated.

Udir sneered, arched his back and waist, and put on a tiger-type attack state, after the tiger body shook, Udir pounced into the air again, waving his claws again and again, crushing the tentacles that were wrapped around his body, and when he landed, the tiger's claws pierced through the body of a death insect, killing it with one claw.

At this moment, the mouthparts of the two remaining death insects beside Udil began to contract, exerting force, and two green acid sprayed behind Udil. However, Udil's whole body flashed with green light, and the muscles in his back gradually bulged, and in a moment a huge turtle shell appeared on his back, and the acid sprayed on the turtle shell, making a burning "zizi~" sound, but the hard turtle shell was not damaged.

"Shenlong...... Tail ......! ”

With a loud snort, the two acid-spitting death bugs collided with each other, squeezing them into two patties with great force.

"Hahaha, master, you're here!" The bearded and big-eyed Udir raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, looked at Li Qing with a smile and said.

Li Qing nodded, his face was solemn, he paced lightly, walked to Udil's side, pressed one hand on Udil's shoulder, and asked solemnly: "Apprentice, there is some chaos in the back, do you dare to follow the division to stop the enemy?" ”

Feeling the strength on his shoulders and seeming to understand his master's determination, Udir burst out laughing again.

"Hahaha, why don't you dare! Master, let's go!! ”

The History of Valoran

- ""The Battle of Emperor Shurima's Mausoleum"

The Third Army of the Valoran Continental Alliance, the headquarters of General Zelos, was attacked in the middle of the night in the area of the Emperor's Mausoleum on the way to the Shurima Desert, and the 300,000 Valoran Coalition troops encountered more than 100,000 Void Monsters and 150,000 desert "Death Bugs" inside and outside.

In the battle, more than 70,000 soldiers of the Third Army of the Valoran Coalition Army were killed and wounded, and the remaining sergeants hid in the pyramid of the Emperor's Mausoleum to continue to resist, and after holding out for four days, the First and Fifth Army of Valoran rushed to the aid to relieve the siege, and the Third Army only had more than 50,000 people left.

Master Li Qing, the legendary monk of the Ionian Federation, led more than 30,000 allied soldiers to block the enemy with the lover beast spirit walker "Udil", and the 30,000 allied troops were wiped out, and Udir was killed in battle. After Master Li Qing was seriously injured, he pretended to be captured, and killed the mother of the "Death Bug" with a seriously injured body in the Void Monster camp, and then died.

After the incident, military experts on the Valoran continent analyzed that if it were not for the desperate efforts of 30,000 allied troops to stop the enemy, the Third Army might have been completely annihilated.

After this battle, although the Valoran coalition suffered heavy losses on the surface, it laid the foundation for the final victory of the Shurima Void Campaign, and the death of the queen of the "Death Bug" Lexei left the most terrifying creature in the desert without unity of command and shortcuts, and they could no longer launch a sneak attack blitzkrieg like the "Battle of the Emperor's Tomb" without warning.

In order to commend and commemorate the most crucial and great person in the "Battle of the Emperor's Mausoleum of Shurima", Master "Li Qing".

The Federal Assembly of Valoran posthumously conferred on him the title of "Holy Monk" Li Qing.

After the end of the Rune War, Chen Yin, the generalissimo of the Valoran Allied Army and the supreme commander of the Divine War Alliance, received a suicide note from Li Qing from the "Eylana Monastery" in Ionia before leaving, and the first page of the envelope indicated that if he died, Chen Yin would personally open the letter.

Later, at the site of the original "Shuoji Temple" in Ionia, under the personal supervision of Chen Yin, a double burial tomb was built here, and the tomb was called "The Tomb of the Two Saints".

There were no human remains in the tomb, only a blood-stained strip of red cloth, and a crescent-shaped cane.
