Chapter 1003: The Stealthy Figure

As the line of defense that has existed since the establishment of the Guild of the Rescuers, the sturdiness of the guild's defense line and the firepower of the configuration are beyond imagination. The first wave of outburst under the momentum at this moment, the firepower and attacks poured out were at least three to four times that of the outer defense line!

The minions in the front row, which were used to break traps and absorb firepower, fell thousands of them in an instant under such firepower.

But the Fallen Star Believers behind them continued to charge as if they hadn't seen this, following the remaining summoned creatures. And the followers of the ranged profession of the Fallen Star Sect also began to fight back after closing the distance a little, suppressing the blows of the Huaguo profession as much as possible, and reducing the pressure on their own melee charge.

The previous three outer lines of defense, the Fallen Star believers all did this.

But this time, things are a little different.

The existence of the guild enchantment has become an impenetrable one-way barrier and umbrella on the defense line of the Guild of the Dead. Although the counterattack of the Fallen Star Believers was ferocious, due to the fact that there were too many targets and they were relatively scattered, even if the guild enchantment was constantly trembling, it was not enough to break this enchantment for a while.

In this way, they naturally have no way to threaten the Chinese professionals who are protected by the enchantment.

Human mages and archers who don't have to worry about personal safety, as well as a large number of ballistas and throwing carts in the shooting position, can concentrate on the full output with the blessing of the combat aura.

At the same time, in order to reduce the pressure on the guild enchantment and extend the time to enjoy protection as much as possible, the firepower of some ranged professionals began to extend backwards, confronting the ranged professional believers of the Fallen Star Sect.

For a moment, the sky was full of spells and arrows flying in a staggered manner.

And under this shocking scene, the fallen star believers of the melee profession finally braved the dense firepower and fought hard under the city wall. But before they could gain a foothold, all sorts of thorny rattans came from all directions and launched a strange attack on them.

There are bloodthirsty thorn vines that draw blood during attacks, lifestealing vines that drain mana, demonic cursed vines that can inflict curses, and poisonous vines that have a strong hallucinogenic toxin......

Moreover, these vines do not only stare at one person to attack, but know how to cooperate with each other to attack. That is, a Fallen Star believer could be blood-drawn, cursed, and poisoned at the same time!

A single negative buff may not be much to these Fallen Star Believers. But after hitting several states in a row, and then being attacked by countless human professionals on the defensive line, this battle is very difficult to fight.

The believers guarding the left and right wings of the elite Fallen Star seemed to be fierce when they charged, with the power to destroy the withering and decaying. But as soon as it touched this thorny barbed net, it was like a river slapping against the cliff, and it rolled back directly, and it could not take a single step.

Only the five thousand fallen star guards of the Chinese army, all silver-level masters, are also very well equipped, so they can try to break through head-on against the attacks from the sky.

With the blessing and healing of many gold-level priests in the back row, these Fallen Star Guards who were not afraid of death laboriously cleared all kinds of thorns one by one, and began to destroy the city walls.

But then, they started a fight with the Huaguo melee professional who jumped down to protect the city wall, and they didn't give in a single step.

Being able to sustain this kind of offensive and pressure shows the strength of the Fallen Star Guards.

But on the side of the Huaguo professionals, they also gathered most of the elite forces on the northern front. Coupled with the natural superiority of defense, the casualties of the Fallen Star Guardians began to increase at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"It's a shame to keep going like this......"

Several archbishops were a little breathless.

The Fallen Star Guardian is one of the most elite legions of the Fallen Star Cult, and it will not be used easily in the Twilight plane. Although they knew that if they won this battle, they would be able to resurrect the Chaos God and achieve their ultimate goal since invading Earth, such a loss still made them feel painful.

The three cardinals were able to hold their breath and their expressions remained unchanged.

Perhaps, in their eyes, even the priest is just a pawn that can be sacrificed. As long as the goal can be achieved, even if all the five thousand Fallen Star Guards are sacrificed, it will be nothing.

Patiently observing the battlefield, when more than half of the Fallen Star Guards were killed or wounded, the three cardinals noticed that the Elemental Towers on the human side had finally joined the battle again. Although they are only free attacks with a slower rate of fire, their addition is still a symbolic action of considerable significance.

"Invest in the Golden Tier!"

At the sound of an order, what was originally only part of the sacrifice and a small number of ranged professions participated in the battle, and suddenly more than a hundred priests fully joined the battle.

On the defensive side of the Salvation Guild, they were forced to invest a large number of gold-level powerhouses to confront the priests.

The intensity of the battle escalated in an instant!

The successive gold-level spells, as well as the large number of warriors and priests rushing into battle, greatly increased the pressure on the guild's defense line and enchantment. But yesterday, when the pressure was at its highest, the Chinese professionals all survived. Today, relying on the strongest guild defense, as long as the three cardinals still did not personally participate in the decisive battle, the Fallen Star Sect would never be able to rush through them in one fell swoop.

In essence, this is still a war of attrition!

Only this time, human beings can no longer exchange space for time, and there is the last line of defense under their feet, and they must defend to the end!

The white-hot fighting continued for a moment, from early morning to noon, and continued to fight until the afternoon as both sides continued to increase their troops. Until the blood-colored sun sank in the west, torches and lighting stones had been lit on the human defense line, and the war still did not stop!

In one day, the total number of dead and wounded on both sides was close to 50,000!

The total number of Gold-rank powerhouses killed in battle was also close to twenty!

The losses of the previous two days are far less than the sacrifices of one day today. The three cardinals could feel that the morale of the human side was obviously much lower, and they were almost defeated by them several times, but in the end, they persevered, and they carried them to the bottom.

And after a night's rest and adjustments tonight, I'm afraid tomorrow will be another hard battle.

After taking stock of the losses on his side, even the three cardinals with expressionless faces felt a little overwhelmed. After admiring the resilience and courage of these human beings in front of them and the courage to endure the sacrifice, they finally decided not to wait any longer.

It will all end before dawn tomorrow!

The light of chaos will eventually envelop this world!

………

The night was getting darker.

As if finally feeling hopeless about breaking through the northern front, the Fallen Star Sect left behind a mountain of corpses that retreated like a tide.

On the blood-filled defensive line, tranquility finally regained for a short time.

On the human side, a large number of reserves and logistics personnel were busy repairing the defensive line. The main professions, who had fought hard all day during the day, began to rest after hastily repairing their equipment and replenishing their potions. Of course, even in light sleep, they maintained enough vigilance to be able to say that they were waiting for the day. Any possible enemy attack and alarm bells will make them jump to their senses immediately, and then regroup into the battlefield as quickly as possible.

In this rare tranquility, two figures sneaked around the sentry posts and quietly slipped towards the headquarters of the Guild of the Dead.

The guild's strict night patrol was more to prevent the sneak attack and infiltration of the Fallen Star Sect, and it didn't take much into account that someone inside was going out. In addition, these two thieves have good strength, and they have been slightly familiar with the terrain and armament here in the past few days, and they really slipped out unknowingly!
