Chapter 169: The Golden Bull
And just when Dugu Feng stopped the Iron Knight Minerva in the Aries Palace, the crusade led by the silver dragon Elia Lhasa also plunged into the level under the Red Dragon Tyrant Claudius.
The level layout of the zodiac combines the myths and legends of the zodiac signs and the pattern of the original zodiac signs of Saint Seiya. The Aries house is the first house of the zodiac, and the myth and legend of Aries comes from the legend of the Golden Fleece in Greek mythology, which is also the origin of the dragon's tooth soldier in mythology, so Minerva, as the strongest dragon's tooth warrior, will be guarded in the first level as the Aries saint warrior.
And Taurus, the second level of the zodiac, is in Greek mythology about the Minotaur labyrinth of Crete. So, the Taurus Palace is actually a huge labyrinth with powerful minotaurs in ambush.
There is no minotaur under the command of the red dragon tyrant Claudius, and the minotaur guarding the Taurus Palace this time is a powerful minotaur from the dungeon that Claudius borrowed from the black dragon Ajget. Although these minotaur monsters that crisscross the dark world are not as powerful as the dragon tooth soldiers under the command of the Red Dragon Tyrant, they also belong to a black dragon family, and they are no less than normal dragon tooth soldiers.
The silver dragon Elia Lhasa led the crusading army on the winding staircase in silence, looking at the Greek-style palace that was getting closer and closer in front of her, and her resolute eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of anxiety.
She never expected that Aelita, the killing princess she had accidentally befriended, would be able to stop Minerva, the Iron Knight, for her. Others don't know the strength of this Iron Knight, but she clearly understands the strength of this Iron Knight, who has always been inconspicuous.
Minerva, the god-king, is the only strong man who can freely exert supernatural powers under the materialistic aura of the red dragon tyrant Claudius. Although she had never seen her attack go all out, Elija Razar believed that Minerva's true power was no less than that of Claudius, the tyrant of the Red Dragon.
And now the aftermath of the earth-shattering battle between Dugufeng and Minerva in the Aries Palace does indeed show that her impression of Minerva is not wrong.
It's just that she never expected that Aelita, a legendary powerhouse who had just risen in the past ten years, would also hide a power comparable to that of the god king Minerva. It's incredible.
The silver dragon Elia Lhasa slightly clenched the dragon-slaying sword created for him by the gods before the crusade war, which was specially aimed at the red dragon tyrant Claudius, and sighed deeply.
Killing the princess was unexpectedly powerful, and it was an excellent thing for her. Anyway, no matter what kind of origin and identity she has, there are gods to worry about, and for her, as long as she ensures that the killing princess Aelita is on her side.
It's just that for the Red Dragon Tyrant Claudius, although the Silver Dragon Elia Razak has an unforgettable hatred, she really embarked on the journey to defeat him again, especially when she clearly knew that this time the crusade lineup was very likely to succeed, her feelings were still quite complicated.
It was with such inexplicable emotions that the silver dragon Elijah Lhasa set foot in the second house of the zodiac, the Taurus Palace. As she had expected, the temple was filled with ancient Greek style, a sprawling labyrinth of stone columns and arches.
The labyrinth is extremely vast, the overall structure is square and simple, and as far as the eye can see, there are countless arches and forks. The entire temple labyrinth was quiet, and it was obvious that with the arrival of the crusading army, the minotaurs who were responsible for guarding the Taurus Palace were all vigilantly hidden in the sparsely populated shadows.
However, although the Golden Bull Palace is a huge labyrinth, because of the materialistic aura of the Red Dragon Tyrant, it is impossible to arrange magic traps and space spells here, so this is just a huge physical labyrinth.
For the almost legendary crusading army, the labyrinth of this kind of physical building is just a layer of papier-mâché matchbox, although it has the limitation of a large-scale materialistic aura, so that they cannot exert extraordinary power on a large scale, but their physical five senses far exceed those of ordinary mortals, so that they can clearly perceive the hidden minotaur hidden in the shadows, with a long and thin breath, and a breath that seems to be absent.
Although the minotaurs living in the dark world of the underground are five big and three thick, they often fight with the underground races, and they actually do not lack stealth skills. Moreover, this batch of minotaurs borrowed by the Red Dragon Tyrant are all the elite guards of the dungeon, almost no less than Claudius's ordinary dragontooth soldiers.
It's just a pity that the team they encountered this time was a powerful crusade legion that almost gathered most of the elites of the Faren Continent and almost all of them were legendary. Each of these strong men is a melee powerhouse who has ventured to fight to the death and come out of countless tragic tribulations, and of course will not be stopped by this group of minotaurs.
The crusade legion marched very fast, barely stopped, and encountered the minotaur rushing out along the way, and immediately a strong man took the initiative to step forward and let these minotaurs go, allowing the rest of the large army to continue to move forward.
Although the Minotaur is an elite soldier who crisscrosses the dungeon, there is still a huge gap between its true strength and the legendary powerhouse. Despite losing the blessing of supernatural strength, the instinct and combat skills of the legendary warrior allowed them to quickly find the hidden minotaur.
In the battle of the narrow road, they did not hesitate or delay in the slightest, and knocked down the minotaur in an efficient way, such a battle, there was not even any sound of metal colliding...... Of course, when the fighting skills of each other are too far apart, even if the physical fitness is almost the same, it will bring about a huge difference in the results of the battle.
As if sensing this huge gap in individual combat effectiveness, the minotaur guarding the pass quickly changed his tactics and gave up all opportunities for sneak attacks, but gathered in a group and guarded the only exit.
Therefore, when Ilya Lhasa led the crusading army all the way deep and rushed to the exit of the Taurus Palace, he encountered a group of minotaur army arrays that were waiting for him.
A majestic minotaur with a bull-headed body, cloven hooves and sharp horns, and a height of more than two meters lined up in a strict phalanx, and the copper wall was like an iron wall blocking the exit of the Taurus Palace.
These burly minotaurs, each armed with a giant axe, carry a totem pole on their backs. At the moment when he saw the appearance of the crusade legion, he did not charge up directly, but under the order of the chief of the minotaur led by him, he inserted the giant axe into the ground with a brush, untied two thick map tems from behind, and connected them into a tall totem nearly four meters long, copied in his left hand, and at the same time pulled out the giant axe with his right hand, forming a strange formation.
Looking at the Minotaur army array, the crusading legion was silent for a moment, and then ten hoplites holding tower shields and wearing heavy armor, like moving castles, took the initiative to step out. Ten of them lined up side by side, thick more than two meters of heavy armor formed a moving wall, and the ten-meter-long dragon spear stood on top of the tower, taking heavy steps, slowly and unstoppably pressing towards the Minotaur army.
Although the army of the Minotaurs had 300 people, and the dragon lance hoplites who were slowly pressing down were only 10 people, the steel front composed of these ten people was like a moving city wall, with an unstoppable momentum that crushed everything.
Whether it is the hoplites or the Minotaur formation, they are war machines that are good at killing, and as soon as the two come into contact, they immediately start a violent collision like Mars hitting the Earth.
The minotaur warrior carrying the totem pole in the front row threw the four-meter giant pillar into the ground before the two sides made contact, and in an instant, the totem pole blessed with the huge power of the minotaur smashed to the ground like a rammer, and suddenly, the earth was like undulating waves, swinging violent shockwaves.
However, the "shock wave" generated by the minotaur did not shake the pace of the ten hoplites armed with dragon spears at all. Their steps remained steady, the faint flow of light on the tower shield and dragon lance linking them together as a whole, like a moving wall, slowly but surely crushing past. This flowing light was not magic, not vindictiveness, but the power that came with their extraordinary will and weapons when they became one with each other.
"Boom!"
As if steel had hit a rock, the dragon spear infantry with an iron wall in the city, as if a hard iron pillar had been directly inserted into the millstone, stirred up the entire Minotaur army array!
"Rush!"
In an instant, the Minotaur army formation, which was originally running smoothly and waiting for the enemy to throw itself into the net like a meat grinder, revealed a flaw, and the rear raiders were also polite, seizing this rare loophole and quickly charging forward.
There is no thick and there is a room.
Dozens of extremely powerful warriors who have been tempered for thousands of years, at this moment, showed their peak combat skills. In one breath, their bodies combined with their weapons, and rushed into the minotaur's military formation in a perfect posture, flowing along the gaps in the military formation, directly cutting into the minotaur bodies, and launching a scalpel-like precision strike.
"Roar!"
Despite the roar of the legendary Minotaur chieftain at the head, his swollen muscles almost burst his clothes. But he was surrounded by three legendary warriors at the same time, and while splitting a legendary warrior, he was also pierced by two weapons.
After abandoning most of the extraordinary strength, the legendary warriors are almost all at the peak of melee combat, and the battles between them are almost no different from ordinary fighters. In the face of the opponent who cooperated tacitly and strangled together, even the legendary Minotaur Chief was irretrievably defeated.
The instantaneous collision barely made any superfluous sounds, both sides were battle-hardened warriors, even in a one-sided and overwhelming battle, there were no screams, no wailings, only the sound of the silent sword entering the body.
The overwhelming victorious crusading army did not chase and kill, did not slaughter, but quickly swept away the Minotaur army formation that stood in the way, and then rushed towards the next palace without stopping.
After the Minotaur army rushed out of the Golden Bull Palace, it did not continue to entangle and obstruct, but only silently began to rescue the wounded, which was a tacit understanding of the two sides fighting......
