Chapter 269: A stalemate war of attrition
The demons-incarnated soldiers do not have the obvious demonic characteristics of Julius, except that their limbs have changed into sharp claws, and they only have ominous black qi wrapped around their bodies, and their hideous faces seem to have completely lost their rationality, and they have become fighting machines that only know how to kill.
"That's a problem." Qian Yunyue glanced behind her, if tens of thousands of demons were to rush forward, the defense line would probably be broken through in an instant, and the enemy's main combat power had not yet been played, so it seemed that she could only give it a go. "Everyone retreats behind me and uses ranged magic to support, preferably using high-level magic that slows down the enemy's movement to buy me a little time."
The Phantom Beasts understood what dangerous magic Qian Yunyue might be unleashing, so they all retreated behind him and began to use all kinds of auxiliary magic, no matter what kind of attribute it was, as long as it could stop the enemy from approaching.
The demons don't seem to be able to use weapons, so Qianyunyue is not afraid of being attacked from a distance, those gods of war are not moving at the moment, and Julius has been floating in the air, probably wanting the soldiers to consume their own combat power first, and then finish when everyone is exhausted. In fact, although there are not many casualties on the phantom beast's side, the consumption is indeed very huge, and it has continued to use magic power to open a barrier to defend against the enemy's attacks, even if the phantom beast's magic power is much more than that of humans, if it continues like this, it may be exhausted before the enemy's elite troops are consumed.
However, Julius didn't seem to want to wait any longer, only to see him gesture downward, and several gods of war who had been waiting on the side before also began to advance to this side with their elite troops, apparently wanting to break through the defense line directly in one go.
"The enemy's demonization will definitely not last, that's why he is in such a hurry." Qian Yunyue immediately judged Julius's intentions, and it is also possible that he was deliberately forcing him to make a big move, first let himself be greatly consumed, and then it would be much easier to deal with, war is not a competition, using the most efficient method to win is the ultimate goal. "No way, then as you wish."
"I think you'll be able to do a few more of those big spells." Julius snorted coldly, the magic power of human beings is always limited, even if it is a great magician who has practiced for decades like Dirmdo, using four or five eighth-order magic in a row is already the limit, Qian Yunyue has already used an eighth-order magic today, and there is an unknown magic that looks even more powerful than the eighth-order, according to his judgment, two more eighth-order magic should be over at most, and then he can still be his opponent?
If the object is a normal human being, Julius does not have any problem with his judgment, unfortunately, Qianyunyue is already an existence beyond common sense, his magic value has more than doubled compared to when he first came out of the academy, he can use magic of this level at least ten times or more than eight times, and through the cultivation with Bahamut, the energy in his body has reached a state of perfect circulation, and it can be slowly recovered while consuming, so there is no problem with another ten times eight times of that scale of magic.
"Try this!" Qianyunyue used the mixed attribute magic that she had just created when she practiced with Askar before, this magic is based on light and heat, and its power is comparable to that of the Doomsday Impact Cannon, although the distance is very short, but the range is very large, and because the energy is very concentrated, it will not have too much impact, and it will not pose any threat to your side.
"It's quite lively over there." The people of Midheim and some of the selected elite phantom beasts stood by the World Tree, and although they couldn't see the battle situation in front of them, they could feel huge fluctuations in magical power. "Why don't we join in the fun."
"I mean, don't you understand why they put us here?" Diarmdo glared at them fiercely, "This is the most important place, do you understand the meaning?" If the line of defense is breached, we are the last hope. ”
"The old gentleman is right, so no matter what happens on the front line, we must stay here." The captain of the Phantom Beast Elite Team is Lisantia, the elder of the Ocean Clan, and her mission is to defend the World Tree to the death, even if there is only one person left, she cannot retreat. "When the time comes, we will have to rely on your full assistance."
"Elder, please rest assured, although we don't look very reliable, we are not ambiguous in actual fighting, those bastards have demolished our home, we will let them feel what is called the anger of the old bones." Andre became angry when he thought of it, some time ago the economic conditions of the academy improved, he secretly hid a lot of good wine, but the attack of the United Federation ruined all this, and other people also had the same experience, this resentment is very terrible, not to peel those guys to the bones, it is really difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
Although it was the first time for Lisan Via to see these human magicians, she could feel that they all had quite a large amount of magical power, which was not inferior to phantom beasts, and it should be the result of years of perseverance in cultivation, since it was brought by Qianyunyue, there should be no problem in terms of trust, and one of them was still the descendant of the soothsayer who had helped them.
The reason why phantom beasts don't have a good impression of humans is because of past historical reasons, in fact, they also know in their hearts that no matter which race there are good and evil, phantom beasts are not all good. It was because of a ill-intentioned phantom beast that instigated humanity in the first place, which caused the disaster, and although the traitor was finally executed, the consequences were so serious that it led to the later break between the two sides.
"This guy still has new magic, and he's really only been learning magic for a few months?" Dorabaint looked at the magic released by Qianyunyue in surprise, this blow just now destroyed at least nearly 10,000 people, and the strength of those demonized soldiers seemed meaningless, and they turned into ashes in an instant. "I now understand why the president is bent on letting the head of the Midheim House come to teach in our United Federation, to be able to teach the president and this kind of monster, Diarmdo is worthy of being called a great magician called a palace-level grandmaster."
The United Federation has always been a weakness in the cultivation of magicians, although there are magic academies set up on many planets, but there are few outstanding mentors and students, they have always wanted to find magical talents from the planet Tantin, but these people don't buy it at all, the Tanding Dynasty also refuses to join the United Federation Alliance, even if they send troops to occupy this planet, it is meaningless, not only can they not get excellent talents, but it will also arouse the sense of resistance of these people, which will only steal chickens and rice.
Originally, Aode claimed that he had cultivated an excellent magician, but later he was abducted by the thieves, and now he has lost a great magician at the god of war level.
In fact, at first, the cadres of the United Federation were opposed to this operation, and it was not easy to train 100,000 soldiers, even if the current United Federation had a great cause, and it was a little unbearable to treat 100,000 people as outcasts, but Julius was resolute, and after listening to him talk about the possible benefits of this operation, the cadres were moved.
The legendary Tree of Life has infinite vitality and vast magical power, and it is said that if you can obtain the power in it, it is possible for humans to gain eternal life and infinite magical power. No one knew the exact location of the Tree of Life, and while it was unknown how Julius got the news, the allure of immortality and infinite magic was too great for this operation.
"But it's really as difficult as imagined, it's really not that simple to get eternal life, but now that you have paid such a huge price, there is no reason to back down." Dorabaint summoned the venomous giant bird, mounted on it, and began to advance with the large army.
"Don't let up! Keep attacking! "These demonized soldiers are really a bit tricky, just like zombies, they only know how to rush forward, and their attack and defense power have been doubled, which is enough to match the low-level phantom beasts. The magic barrier didn't have much effect under the direct impact, causing the defense line to be sharply compressed, and it had already retreated nearly a kilometer, less than ten kilometers away from the World Tree.
Qian Yunyue cast an eighth-order magic just now, although the attributeless magic is very effective, but the consumption is greater than the eighth-order magic, so it can't be used uncontrollably, and the enemy's main force hasn't come up yet. The squad led by the god of war behind the demon soldiers, although there are not many people, they all have a not weak aura, I am afraid that they can fight against the intermediate phantom beasts alone, and if this continues, the defense will become more and more difficult.
"Special Enforcement Force, Prepare for a Surprise Attack!" Huskar and Labonte led hundreds of men from the left and right sides of the pack, and Trist and Hawke, though reluctant, had to join in on the president's orders.
Dorabaint hovered in the air on a giant bird to command, and there were probably less than 20,000 Majin soldiers left, but the other party seemed to be tired, and it was time to put the finishing touches on the encirclement. According to Julius's estimate, that human probably has no way to use the large-scale magic just now, and he may choose melee combat next, and it should be enough to use three thousand demons to drag him first, as long as the other phantom beasts are cleaned up, he is left alone, and he can't play any tricks.
"Want to eat it whole now? Are you underestimating me? Qian Yunyue held the sword in his right hand, and then took out the dagger and held it in his left hand, although he also wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible before the decisive battle with Julius, but the current situation was not up to him. Ordinary slashes can't even cause effective damage to the demon soldiers, and even if they attach wind magic, they can't kill them in one hit, but he still has a means of attacking, although the cost will be greater.
"Light attribute attached? I didn't have this skill the last time I fought with me, could it be that you learned it in such a short period of time? Julius frowned and looked at the glowing weapon in Qianyunyue's hand, those demonized soldiers were cut in half in an instant like fragile rotten wood, the light attribute is poison for the dark attribute, if this continues, the soldiers who go to surround it will soon be completely wiped out." Hawk! You go deal with that human! ”
