Chapter Seventy-Six: A Place of Refuge
Anubarak's caution has made natural disasters much less costly.
It pioneered the undead transformed into human villagers to test it, and this more than 100 troops was to test the strength of the opposite side. But it didn't expect that the other party was equipped with mortars. Most of the weak humans were wiped out before they could reach the opposing line.
"It looks like it's going to be a tough fight."
Brooks sneered, "Are you going to drag it out with them?" β
"No, quite the opposite. I plan to press the whole army and attack at any cost! Anubrak's answer stunned the Death Knight.
And the Crypt Lord gave the order right away.
"Come on my back, and I'll charge with you." Anubaraktong guΓ² mind conveys his thoughts.
Brooks rode up, but before he charged, he couldn't help but ask, "Shall we just rush like this?" β
"Almost."
"And what about the mortars on the peaks on both sides?"
"Whatever it is."
Brooks was speechless.
It's not that Anubaraq doesn't know the threat of mortars to its scourge forces, it's that it will have to pay an even more painful price if it wants to take positions on both sides. There are definitely angels waiting on it for the demons in the crypt who are trying to climb up. The Crypt Demon has no defenses at all during the climb, and is like a lamb to the slaughter when facing the angels. Even if a mortar squad is forced at any cost, the casualties that may be paid will not be less than that of a direct assault on a human defensive position.
Jiang Weihan did leave Kyle's right and left hands on the high ground on both sides, leaving Kazuhiko and the others in charge of the security of the dwarven mortar team. He saw that the Scourge Force had first lined up some human undead to test it. Jiang Weihan thought of the Timmy he met when he came over, and it was very likely that the parents of this cute little child were among the undead.
He really didn't have a chance to save Timmy's parents, so the only thing he could do now was to avenge the villagers!
When the whole army of the natural disaster pressed down, he was on the front line, the staff of time in his left hand, the silver judgment in his right hand, the magic of time and the power of the divine power bombarded in turn, and together he came to deal with these damn natural disasters!
Eight mortars fired shells that exploded and kicked up a large amount of dirt and rubble, and shrapnel killed and injured a large number of soldiers of the disaster. During the Scourge charge, the defenders on the hillside pushed down all the rolling stones they had collected earlier. The stones rolled faster and faster along the hillside, and even if the soldiers of the natural disaster did not feel pain, even if they did not die, they would be mutilated and lose most of their combat effectiveness.
The Scourge Legion, under the command of Commander Anubrak, charged forward fearlessly. These dead and resurrected souls have no fear of love, and in their twisted wills there is only hatred for the living and a thirst for blood. Even though the mortars killed and injured hundreds of natural disasters, there were many more, and they continued to pour up the hillside.
Brooks carried his rune axe, his eyes fixed on Jiang Weihan, who was at the forefront of the slaughter of undead warriors: he knew that this man was the Lich King's most important target, and even said that killing him was more important than spreading the plague!
He is getting closer and closer to that goal, the bloodthirsty ** dominates his will, and he only hopes that the Anubarak under his seat can immediately carry him to Jiang Weihan, and then use this rune giant axe given by the Lich King to kill Jiang Weihan!
But now it's not Brooks who is harnessing Anubrak, it's the Crypt Lord who is controlling Brooks. The Death Knight couldn't tell it what to do.
Anubrak stopped more than twenty meters away from the human defensive position, along with a dozen of his guards, beetles of similar shape.
Here the beetles began to dig in unison, their forelimbs swinging so fast that a large hole in the ground appeared in the ground almost in the blink of an eye, and in a few breaths, the hind legs of the insects were completely submerged under the ground.
They're digging through the ground, ready to use what they do best to raid human positions and blossom in the center!
The beetle acts without hesitation of human discovery. Anubarak is blatantly telling the humans: The Crypt Demons must use this method to break through your position!
Jiang Weihan also found the beetle digging in the ground for the first time.
He probably estimated that there were more than two hundred Crypt Demons. The combat power of the Crypt Demon is already much stronger than that of ordinary humans, and it is in the night. If they emerge from the middle of the human defensive positions through the guΓ² tunnel, they are indeed likely to shatter the human defenses with a single blow. And at their speed, there is only one minute left for Jiang Weihan to prepare!
"What to do, what to do, do you want to retreat? Or send some people to guard against it? Jiang Weihan slashed down an orc warrior with a sword, and his heart was anxious. And reality demands that he make a decision immediately. And this decision is likely to affect the success or failure of the entire battle.
"Kyle, you three angels will focus on dealing with the Crypt Lord and the Death Knight later, and the remaining General Du Minglun will lead half of the people to stop the Crypt Demon-"
"No, you don't." The sword of guilt in Kyle's hand wiped out the five or six undead in front of her with a single sweep, and she withdrew her sword and said to Jiang Weihan, "Give them to us." We're going to stop the Crypt Demons from coming out of the ground. β
"That's great!" Jiang Weihan was overjoyed. At the critical moment, it is the angel queen Kyle who is the most reliable!
Kyle then summons the two lieutenants and signals them to.
The three angels occupy one direction each. They raised their swords aloft and summoned a beam of light from the Eternal Realm, then plunged their fiery swords into the ground. The beams connect the three angels to each other, forming a triangle of light, which then spreads outward. The entire floor was as dazzling as if it had been smeared with a layer of golden paint.
Jiang Weihan immediately learned from his memories from the transformation ritual that this was a kind of protection spell of the angel clan, called "Sacred Sanctuary". This spell is so powerful that it not only blocks enemies from attacking from underground, but also deals damage to enemies who step into the land. Originally, it was a defensive spell that the Eternals had arranged in their resting place while fighting other races. Kyle is making use of it to the present day, which is also perfect for this occasion.
However, this is a guiding spell, and the three angels must continue to cast the spell in their place at all times, without being interrupted.
Now it's Kang Weihan, Wayne, and Quinn's turn to protect the three angels!
Anubrak, the most powerful of the Crypt Demons, was the first to dig into the center of the human position. But just as its claws were about to break through the ground, a thin golden curtain stopped it. After only two touches, it was burned by the divine power, and its heart trembled.
The Crypt Lord immediately screamed to stop its guards from digging in. Their strength is even weaker, and I'm afraid that if they hit the light curtain, they will be severely damaged immediately!
Brooks raised his axe and tried to break it, but the axe was as powerless as it was to cut cotton, let alone break it. And if his own hand touches it, it will be burned as well!
This thin curtain of light was blocked in the face of the natural disaster, completely extinguishing the idea of breaking through the Anubarak Center.
"Withdraw and attack head-on!" Anubaraq let out an unwilling roar. Had to go back the way you came.
Back on the ground, Blox saw at a glance the angels leading the ritual with a glow all over their bodies. He immediately said, "These birdmen are casting spells, and they can't fight!" Now, charge! Kill them! β
But the undead who were at the forefront of the battle with the human soldiers all began to howl and retreat when they stepped into the sacred sanctuary. The weaker ones had not even stepped out of the glowing sacred place, and they were reduced to ashes and purified.
Anubarak was shocked in his heart, how can this be fought? That position has clearly become the home of the angels, and any undead who enter it is already at a natural disadvantage.
"Rush! Otherwise, we have nothing but a dead end! Brooks lifted his great axe and roared.
Anubarak also understands that this is his only option, but why haven't reinforcements come yet?
"You'd better show your strength, I can't hold out for too long in that land of light. If we fail, you know what the ending will be. β
Anubarak finished speaking and charged up with the Death Knight. Although its army is retreating, it and Brooks will strike bravely!
Jiang Weihan led the army to drive the undead out of the shelter, and then they held on to the land of light, anyway, they are not in a hurry now, reinforcements may arrive at any time, as long as they can hold on.
But the undead are different, and with every minute that passes, the hope of escape is almost doubled.
So after seeing Brooks rushing up on Anubarak, Jiang Weihan ordered: "Return to the shelter and fight the natural disaster!" β
Then he said to General Du Minglun: "General, leave some people to protect my angels. They are the key to our victory! β
"Yes, Admiral!"
"Quinn, Wayne, follow me to stop the Death Knight and the Crypt Lord! Can't let them get near Kyle! β
Wayne removed the crossbow from her backβshe hadn't used it just now because she didn't have many bolts left. Today's series of battles, first on the southern front, then on the northern front, then on the pursuit battle, the elimination of the gnolls, and now the defensive battle. The intensity of the battle consumed most of the Holy Silver crossbows that had been produced in the workshop for more than a month. Now she only had six Holy Silver bolts left in her quiver to work with.
She knows what Brooks is capable of. Now is a critical moment to deal with natural disasters, and of course it cannot be saved.
Quinn's crossbow bolts aren't much, either. And when she was chasing the Dreadlord with the angels, Desailok was injured a little by her dying counterattack, and she was now only able to exert half of her strength.
So now Jiang Weihan has become the main force against the two natural disaster heroes!
He gripped his Staff of Time and the Silver-White Holy Sword, feeling some pressure.
The toughest battle since the crossing is here!
