Chapter 218: A Plan of Discord
In order to delay the time to reply, Li Ran glanced at him and asked questioningly, "Since you are the big leader?" Then why did Master Arshid return the hostages to me without your consent? It seems that what the master said is right, you are just a puppet that he pushed out, and even the Angry Gold Patriarch next to you is a helper that he deliberately arranged for you! ”
Although he didn't know much about the relationship between the two, with the curse of the Great Priest Arshid to Zanoyi before, Li Ran also guessed the general situation of the relationship between the two, and at this time, in order to delay time, he shouted out regardless of whether it was right or wrong.
"Damn! You damn creature dare to stir up a relationship between me and the High Priest, I have to kill you today! The Great Leader Zanoi shouted angrily, but his eyes glanced at the Angry Gold Patriarch on the side, and at the same time unconsciously took two steps away from the latter.
As the captain of the Battle Bear Knights, the Nujin Patriarch looked at Zanoyi and sighed slightly, and then brazenly launched a charge against Li Ran and the others without receiving an order, followed by the remaining twenty or so Battle Bear Knights.
As the same faction of the Mezeya warriors and the gray dwarf warriors, when they saw the Bear Knight charge, they instinctively took a few steps forward, but found that their big leader had no intention of attacking at all, and the two sides hesitated for a moment and stopped, after all, it is not in accordance with the regulations to attack without an order like the Angry Gold Patriarch.
Like abandoned chess pieces, these War Bear Knights rushed towards Li Ran and the others without backup, but the average strength of the ninth order gave the Nujin Patriarch the confidence to win while being sad and angry. After all, the overall strength of the other party was only around the ninth order. And the number is about twice as small as itself.
Someone has said that no matter what kind of cavalry, when he charges, it is very terrifying, let alone this kind of high-ranking war bear knight. Li Ran, who understood this well, immediately ordered everyone to form a circle when the Battle Bear Knight launched a charge, and picked up a shield to block the outer circle. This minimizes damage.
Seeing that one of his subordinates was smashed to the ground by the slinger, the eleventh-order Elder Nujin took the lead in rushing towards the slinger on the left, and seeing the enemy leader rushing towards him, the sling, who was nearly three meters tall, was not to be outdone, and with a low roar, he pulled out a thick steel mace from his waist and met it. This time it can be said that he will meet a good talent, both of them are eleventh ranks, one is a strong giant, and the other is the leader of the gray dwarves riding a giant bear. In just a few moments of fighting, flesh and blood are flying.
However, the rest of the War Bear Knights were not in a good situation at this time, after the two most lethal charges were fruitless, although they had the advantage of numbers in the head-to-head battle, but with the outbreak of the twelfth-order Zereramo Orc and Minotaur Thun, the numerical advantage of the War Bear Knight soon disappeared, and the rest was a one-sided slaughter, and soon only the battle between the Catapult and the Angry Gold Patriarch was left on the battlefield.
When he saw the Nujin Patriarch go out to fight without permission, the big leader Zanoi understood everything. He is not lacking in wisdom as a great leader.
Therefore, when he saw that Elder Nujin was fighting with the enemy, he did not lead his troops to encircle, but hoped that the enemy could defeat both the Bear Knight led by Patriarch Nujin, so that he would have the basis to compete with the Great Priest Arsid. At the time of the chaos, as long as he could solve the Great Sacrifice Arshid in one fell swoop later, I believe that no one in the stronghold would dare to oppose it.
However, in the blink of an eye, more than twenty War Bear Knights were killed and wounded, which was a fact he did not want to see, and at this time, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly commanded the gray dwarf warriors and beast trainers to rush over with monitor lizards and dragon flies, hoping to deal with them before they could recover. And the four Mai Zeya warriors he kept behind, you must know that there are still two temple guards around the high priest, although the rank is not high, and the number is only about twenty people, but it is a good thing to have more strength by his side after all.
Seeing that the enemy launched a second wave of attacks, Li Ran nodded at everyone, and then pointed to the shadow blade, which quickly stepped forward to block the front of everyone, and the killing realm opened again under the gaze, and the strong killing intent that penetrated people's hearts in an instant enveloped the entire battlefield, Wu Tongtong, who had many experiences, hurriedly added a spiritual protection to himself, as for Li Ran and Ziyun Huahua, they seemed to be completely unaffected by it.
As soon as this killing intent unfolded, the hearts of the gray dwarf warriors who rushed over instantly froze, and there was a burst of panic, as for the monitor lizards and dragon flies, they were even more unbearable, if it weren't for the presence of the beast trainer, they might have turned around and ran away. Even so, the beast trainer waved the leather whip in his hand and shouted behind him, barely controlling.
If you count by rank, most of the gray dwarf warriors are around the seventh to eighth order. In terms of strength, it was inferior to Li Ran's side, and at this time, it was shrouded by the killing realm of the Shadow Blade, and the overall strength was greatly reduced. Although Li Ran and the others had fought until their physical strength was damaged before. But slashing down these gray dwarves seemed to be easier than fighting the Bear Knight before.
Even Li Ran didn't expect that this stupid big leader would cooperate with their battle so much, and hand over the troops in his hands to them step by step. I didn't need the several large magic scrolls I had prepared for the decisive battle.
Fortunately, this time the big leader Zanoi did not make a mistake again, when he saw that the gray dwarf warriors could not resist, he hesitated a little and rushed over with four personal guards, with the strength of the eleventh order, plus the addition of four tenth-order Mezeya warriors, the victory scale of the battlefield quickly tilted the scales of victory.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ziyunhua burst into a loud voice, and a few starlights floated out of the staff in his right hand and automatically fell on the blades of Li Ran and the others, only to see that a layer of white light immediately ignited on the surface of everyone's blades.
Flame Blade - A fourth-order Terran spell that can add a certain effect of fire damage to the blade. The advantages are more practical, and the disadvantages are that the mana consumption is larger and the duration is shorter.
However, what shocked Wu Tongtong was that the spell of the Flame Blade was originally just a single spell, and the object of its effect could only be one person. However, Purple Cloud Blossom is now casting the Flame Blade with a range-type spell, this kind of spell casting method she has only heard of before, and it is the first time she has seen it after being a professional for three or four years.
"Hurry up, now this spell will consume her physical strength and experience points, and there are many negative effects" Li Ran shouted at Wu Tongtong, who was a little flustered for a while
"Negative effects? Draining XP? Wu Tongtong was surprised and didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly ordered the two arms to attack with all their might, and at the same time he also followed behind the Minotaur Thun step by step, the advantage of this is that he can not only avoid being surrounded by the enemy, but also let the Minotaur Thun save her in time when she is in danger.
Knowing that now is the most critical decisive battle, while wielding a short sword in her hand to protect herself, Wu Tongtong's eyes kept observing the state of her teammates around her, calculating the number of enemies around them and the healing recovery time, and the staff in her right hand waved the Dao healing technique from time to time, which could be in time when she needed it most, and unconsciously, her combat skills and healing ability had increased a lot.
And everyone's attacks soared after blessing the Flame Blade, which also caused the final battle to come to an early end.
In just a few tens of minutes, except for a few gray dwarf warriors who were seriously injured and fell to the ground and could not fight, the rest of the gray dwarves, monitor lizards, and dragon flies had all been killed.
As for the great chieftain Zanoi, he could only hold the dark red long sword and half-kneel on the ground at this time, and only a wounded Mezeya warrior was left by his side to support him, but he was no longer able to pull him up.
At this time, only one last battle was left on the battlefield, and at some point, Thun the Minotaur had replaced the fallen Slinger and fought with the captain of the Bear Knights, Nujin. Both sides were scarred at this time, and the offensive was a little deformed due to physical exhaustion, but they both tried desperately to kill each other.
Interestingly, Li Ran didn't have any intention of stepping forward to help, and Wu Tongtong, who wanted to add a healing technique to the minotaur Tuen, was also stopped by the shadow blade waving his hand, and she was as smart as she didn't ask anything more, quietly watching the development of the situation.
At Li Ran's signal, Wu Tongtong and Ziyun Huakai prepared to resurrect the fallen catapult giants and vampire barons, and as for Li Ran's Tucker swordsman, they could only wait for the temple to donate gold coins to resurrect.
Just as Wu Tongtong and Ziyun Blossom were about to recite the incantation silently, Li Ran suddenly stopped them from shouting at the ruins in the distance: "Respected Arshid High Priest, can you come out now!" ”
Everyone was startled and hurriedly looked around, and after a while, they saw two teams of lizard warriors walking out of the ruins on the right, and the first one was the great priest Arshid who had seen before.
The group of lizard warriors were dominated by swordsmen, but the first two were holding two huge crossbows, the crossbows were wound and the arrows were in the saddle. It seems that if Wu Tongtong and Ziyunhua opened their mouths to recite a spell just now, they would definitely be greeted with these two crossbow arrows. Once the resurrection spell is interrupted, it will be a few more hours before the spell is cast again, and the fallen warrior will be gone.
Everyone sighed for a while, you must know that donating gold coins to resurrect a ninth-order warrior in the temple is not a small amount, and the cost of resurrecting an eleventh-order slinger is a sky-high number.
At this time, Arshid's eyes were obviously surprised, he didn't expect that he had hidden so well and still been discovered. Originally, they wanted to sneak attack while the opponent was casting spells, so that they could not revive their teammates and waste their last mana.
