Chapter 248: A Battle Without Suspense (Part II)
(Is it coming?) )
Artevans could feel a number of unpowerful energy fluctuations, which, according to Aruba, were supposed to be the magicians in the opposing army attacking the walls.
In the first attack, the walls shook violently, and many cracks appeared, and in some places there were already gaps.
Soon, the magicians launched a second attack, and this time, the walls finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to fall.
In the third attack, the eastern wall completely disappeared.
"Assault!" Gael, who was at the front of the army on horseback, shouted, and the army began to charge.
However, when he saw Atfans and Lil not far away, there was a hint of confusion on his face. But instead of halting his entire army, he had the cavalry and light armoured men of the flanks assault surround Atlvans and Lil.
"Sooner than I expected, sir." Artevans smiled and looked at Gail in front of him, and said unhurriedly.
(Is he trying to defeat us with just two people?) No, their eyes! )
Just as Gale was still wondering why there were only two people in front of him, he suddenly noticed the eyes of Atvance and Lil, which were by no means humans.
"You're not human!?" Gail couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
Seeing Gail's surprised expression, Artevans sneered, "Do humans distinguish races based on their pupils? Yes, I am not human, so how can I be an inferior race like you? The reason why I pretended to be a human was just to give you a little confidence and delusion that you would be able to fight me so that I wouldn't be so bored."
"Inferior races? Hmph, I don't care what you are, I just want to defeat our army with two people, it's too arrogant! All the troops, attack!' Hearing this, Gale was displeased with these words and ordered the army to start an attack on Artevans and Lil.
Artevans sneered as he glanced at the cavalry rushing from all directions, then at the heavy armoured soldiers in front of him and at the arrows and fireballs that flew into the sky and shot at them.
"Lil, help me deal with those arrows and fireballs." With that, Artevans floated slightly and began to condense spells.
Although with Artfans' current strength, it would not be a problem for him to deal with the flying fireballs and arrows while condensing spells. However, this will affect the effect of the spells he has condensed, so he chooses to let Lil protect him from interference.
Lil took a step forward, looked up at the arrows and fireballs that were about to fall on her, and smiled slightly.
She sliced her arm with a knife, allowing blood to flow out, and at the same time, opened the Blood Devouring Seal.
The blood that flowed from the wound on Lil's arm was suddenly manipulated by a force, and it instantly dispersed into countless droplets. The droplets began to change shape, and in a short time they became tiny blood needles.
By the time all the drops of blood had turned into blood needles, the fireballs and arrows were almost enough to fall on Liel and Artfans.
Without the slightest hesitation, Liel pulled out her dagger and pointed it at the flying fireballs and arrows. The blood needles condensed in front of her suddenly flew out, colliding with the flying fireballs and arrows, canceling each other out.
Over the course of a hundred years, Liel has lost her obsession with fighting in close quarters, and she knows how to use her abilities as the Awakened to fight.
Those flying fireballs and arrows were disposed of in an instant, and feeling the powerful aura emanating from behind him, Liel knew that Artevans was ready to cast the spell.
"Lil, get off the ground." At the same time, Rusa's voice reached Lil's ears.
Liel nodded, leaping to her feet. Just as Lil jumped to the highest point, a dark shadow swept by, holding Liel in her arms and floating in the air.
This shadow is a clone created by Arusha, who uses the visual sharing of these clones to constantly observe the situation on the battlefield and provide assistance.
"Lord Artevans, let's get started. By the way, I have a gift for you, and if you need it, I will deliver it to you as soon as the time comes.'" After making sure that Liel would not be accidentally injured by Artfans, Aruba spoke to Artevans with her mind.
Atfans slowly opened his eyes, and the [Black Demon Pupils] emitted a strong purple glow. He glanced around at the soldiers who were about to rush in front of him, and smiled a little hideously.
"Humans, see a power you've never seen before......
As he spoke, Artevans untied the bandage that wrapped around his left arm, revealing the Arm of Black Death.
Then, he slapped his palm to the ground and unfolded a black magic array.
This black magic array spread to the entire battlefield almost instantly, and not a single person from the nearly 20,000 people army could leave the magic array.
Gail noticed the magic circle that appeared out of thin air under his feet, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so he wanted to immediately make all the soldiers retreat and leave the range of the magic circle.
However, as soon as Gale opened his mouth, he found that he could no longer make a sound, and his body froze, unable to move even a finger.
Gail was surprised to find that a white phantus that looked exactly like him appeared in front of him, and that was Gail's soul.
Like Gail, all the humans and horses present had their souls separated from their bodies because of the magic circle that Artevans had unfolded. Although there is still a little soul power left in the physical body that keeps their consciousness in the physical body, they cannot manipulate their physical body because the soul has detached.
All the humans present, not even the warlocks, had never seen such strange magic, and they all looked puzzled and horrified.
Then, they knew what they were going to face.
Countless slender and sharp black thorns suddenly pierced through the magic array, and these black thorns appeared transparent and untouchable, as if they were incorporeal.
The black thorn aimed at all the souls that had been separated from the body, and stabbed into the souls, causing many holes to appear in the souls in an instant.
The damage received by the soul will be fed back to the body as it is, and after the black piercing the soul, the same size and number of blood holes appear in the corresponding positions on the bodies of everyone present.
The blood of nearly 20,000 humans flowed to the ground, instantly staining the entire battlefield red. Since the part of the blackthorn attacking the soul is random, some people die instantly due to the feedback of the soul injury, while some people get through the level by luck.
With only one move, and only forty percent of his strength, Artevans had already routed an army of nearly 20,000 men in an instant.
Then, Blackthorn retracted, and the souls of those who died on the spot as a result of the blow were dragged into the magic circle along with Blackthorn, and the souls of the rest of those who did not die immediately returned to their bodies.
After all the black thorns returned to the magic circle, the magic circle immediately retracted back to the feet of Atvance, and the souls that were engulfed in the magic circle turned into energy and flowed into the [Black Death Arm] of Atlvans.
However, while Blackthorn's attacks are completely random, it doesn't mean that Artevans can't control Blackthorn. He was still careful not to let Blackthorn kill the city-state lords of the six city-states who came here with the army, after all, if these six city-states could really be voluntarily submitted, then it was still necessary for the original city-state lords to continue to manage their respective city-states. Artevans didn't have the energy to take care of the human settlement.
Except for the few city-state lords that Atfan did not kill, only about a thousand soldiers were lucky enough not to die after this move, but they were also seriously injured.
Step by step, Artevans walked up to Gail, who was mortally injured and dying, grabbed Gale by the neck and lifted him up. At the same time, five invisible hands suddenly appeared, and the remaining five city-state lords were also arrested.
"You now know very well that you can't defeat me with your strength, and you're just sending your soldiers to their deaths. How will you submit to me? If you are willing to submit, I can guarantee that the lives of the people in your city-state will not be threatened.' Atfans said with a sneer.
"Human...... How can it be...... Ruled by a foreign race......
Despite knowing that there was no chance of victory, Gale was unwilling to give up the last shred of his dignity as a human being.
Of course, this answer made Artevans unsatisfied, and he sighed helplessly, "You humans really like to say things that don't make sense. In that case, let me make a multiple-choice question. Rusha, what's your gift?'
As soon as he finished speaking, a number of Elusa's clones appeared behind Artevans, each of which transformed the dark shadow of his body into tentacles and held several humans dressed in very ordinary clothes hostage. These humans were captured by Arusha from those city-states with her own clones.
Artevans considered whether to capture some civilians to force the city-state lords to compromise, but he still wanted to see if the use of despair to destroy his will would work, so he didn't tell Rusha about his considerations.
Seeing that the gifts that Ai Rusha just said were these ordinary people, Artevans was also a little amazed.
Elusa judged that Artevans might need these humans through her own thinking, so she secretly sent a clone to capture some civilians. And Ai Rusha's choice is also very ingenious, all the boys and girls she captured, including the children of these six city-state lords.
Seeing the boy captured by Ai Rusha using her clone, Artevans couldn't help but sigh at the subtlety of Ai Rusha's choice. Rusha makes good use of one of the most beautiful human emotions, family affection, as a threat.
"Make a choice, be obedient or insist on what you call human dignity. Sir, I want you to make this decision on behalf of the other lords.' As he spoke, Artevans condensed a sharp black thorn on the top of each of the boys and girls, which could fall at any moment.
"I'm ......" Gail's face turned very ugly when he saw this. However, he still can't seem to make a decision.
Seeing Gail's hesitation, Artevans shook his head, "Sir, you've disappointed me a little like this."
Then, he waved his hand.
Then, a third of the black thorns fell, passing through the bodies of the teenagers......
