Chapter 418: The Final Battle: Prelude
The curtain of the night finally opened, and this midsummer night was extremely hot, and there was not a trace of wind in the air. Behind the stone barriers, soldiers from the royal city were in a state of readiness for battle.
The soldiers were all equipped with Min Entong's modified tranquilizer guns, which could hold twenty D76 neurotoxins at a time. Directly opposite them was the valley that would play a key role in the strategy, and the soldiers' eyes did not blink, watching for the movements of the enemies who were coming from the other side of the valley, and the occasional birdsong would make their nerves tighten a little.
It was as if all of a sudden, everything was silent, and the whole world was plunged into a kind of silence like a vacuum. The silence was unusual, making everyone feel like a cold wind was blowing from behind, and they couldn't help but shiver a few times.
After a series of violent sounds, the whole valley shook. As the explosives widened the valley, boulders rolled down from both sides, smashing into the soldiers who were lying in ambush and burying them alive underneath.
Then there was a sudden silence again, but this time it didn't last long, and soon the continuous drumming began to sound again.
The news from the front came closely, and several soldiers who had just been ambushed in the valley and were responsible for ambushing the tree demon with neurotoxin escaped by chance, and one of them retreated to report the situation to Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"What about the casualties?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng first focused on the comfort of the soldiers.
"We ...... Our entire team was almost all sacrificed, and there were less than ten people left. The soldier's head was also hit by the flying rubble, and he was still dripping blood, and he covered the wound on his head and continued, "My lord, the neurotoxins have also been destroyed. ”
"Okay, I got it! You go to the back and take care of the wound first! Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded and said.
It wasn't until after the warrior had gone that he showed a sad expression, an expression he rarely possessed, and everyone could see that he was really in trouble.
"There's still a neurotoxin in the back, but the tranquilizer gun is gone." Ouyang Hongye thought about it and said to him.
"Neurotoxins can be transported by Blackfall!" Xia Qiu proposed.
"Well, it looks like it's time for the Orions to come out!" After Ouyang Xiaoleng finished speaking, he quickly summoned Lao Yi, the leader of the Orion Clan, to his side.
After Lao Yi heard his words, he responded: "I can't ask for it!" Originally, I thought that you iron guys were unreliable, and when the time came, you just had to tie the neurotoxin to the arrow! ”
Blackfall took the order and quickly led his wolves to the rear to retrieve the spare neurotoxin.
But on the other side of the valley that had been opened wide, the Tree Demon, who was the vanguard of the Qingyun side, stepped on a boulder and attacked. The Thousand Horsemen bore the brunt of the attack, leading a team of men and horses to the front, building a fortress with the art of controlling water to block the attack of the Tree Demon.
He had to hold it up for as long as possible before Blackfall retrieved the backup neurotoxin from the rear and combined it with the Feathered Arrows by the Orion.
Since he had meditated under Ouyang Yong's guidance that day, his strength had been improved along with Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng, or rather, he had gained unprecedented confidence and courage.
This time, he used the technique of water control, absorbing the endless water between heaven and earth, forming a wall of water that towered into the sky and hung between the entire valley. The fortress he had built with his water control technique was so powerful that the walls made of water remained unmoving, even though the Dryad had relied on the advantage of his huge body to concentrate his strength on the rampage.
The troops on land were temporarily stopped, and Qingyun's second demon army was immediately replenished, that is, the Winged Demon. This time, the number of winged demons in the battle was even larger, and when they gathered together, the venom on their bodies formed a whole cloud of poison, and birds and insects flying in the sky would die instantly if they came closer.
Seeing that the overwhelming winged demons were coming with a poisonous gas, and they were about to pounce on the Thousand Riders through the valley to the place where they were. Xiao Nan and his companions arrived quickly and fought to the death against the Winged Demon.
They use their sharp beaks and huge claws to tear apart the body and wings of the Winged Demon, and the Winged Demon does not show weakness, and they mainly use their numerical superiority to concentrate on besieging a single Black Lion Hippogriff in units of ten or dozens.
The Thousand Riders were in trouble, too, as the water barrier he had built had perfectly blocked the Dryads' onslaught, but all of a sudden, as if they had been guided in some way, began to retreat silently backwards, even showing fear on their ugly and petrified faces.
"What?! Accepting defeat so quickly made me decide to give up?!! Thousand Riders muttered to themselves in the direction of the Tree Demon's retreat.
The drumming that had just disappeared suddenly remembered again, and this time it was louder than Fang Cai, and the waves were more and more rapid.
In the night, countless giant tree demons that were several times taller than normal tree demons appeared. To be precise, these monsters are monsters that have been transformed and evolved by relying on the World Destruction System.
The World Destroying System has been analyzed and combined to fuse several Treants into one, and these guys have not only increased in size, but also increased in speed and attack power exponentially.
The closer they are to the water barrier, the faster they can move under their feet. In the end, he simply ran, carrying the flying dust, and rushed headlong towards the fortress made by the Thousand Horsemen with the hydrator, and smashed it to pieces.
The Thousand Riders and his warriors had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare to take on the challenge of these giant tree demons. Although he knew in his heart where they would be the opponents of these behemoths, he had to persevere at this moment and buy time for his companions behind him.
Just as they were about to wave their weapons and fight the enemy to the death, the howl of wolves suddenly came from behind them.
Blackfall, who had taken the form of a giant black wolf, and his wolf pack carried the Orion warriors to catch up.
Lao Yi, the leader of the Orion clan riding on the back of the Black Fall, shouted loudly at the thousand horses: "Let go!" We've brought the revamped Feather Arrows! ”
At the same time, he and his companions had drawn their bows and fired a series of modified feathered arrows at the enlarged group of Dryads.
These feathered arrows are strapped to the neurotoxin D76, and Orion warriors are able to fire five of these feathered arrows at the same time with each draw. These feathered arrows pierced into the body of the Big Mac Tree Demon, slowing down their feet, but they didn't fall quickly, because the same dose was less effective against these Big Macs, who were several times more magnified than before.
"Keep firing the arrows!" Lao Yi ordered his subordinates, "Don't back down!" ”
The wolves that lurked behind them did not slow down, and they continued to approach the giant tree demon under the leadership of Blackfall, and flew left and right to protect the Orion warriors on their backs to avoid the attacks from these monsters.
Because the closer they are, the more they can ensure that the Orion warriors have no missing arrows, and the neurotoxins in their hands are not too much, so they can't be wasted.
From time to time, black wolves and Orion warriors on their backs were injured, and even their companions were killed, but they could not escape, let alone retreat.
Even though the Orion Clan is just a race that lives in seclusion in the dense forest and has no quarrel with the world, they also know in their hearts that this moment has reached an important juncture for the survival of the Three Realms, and this is the last opportunity for them to work together to defeat the demon Qingyun, and there will be no chance to turn back time after that.
Once they fail, their wives and children who are so far away in the primeval forest outside Miancheng will lose their quiet and comfortable life, and thinking of this, they will become more brave than ever.
And Blackfall is the same, although he was also confused about the future after knowing his true background. But in the days when he and the wolves were hiding in the barren mountains outside the royal city, he would occasionally enter the royal city in disguise, this place that had been bloodied by him and Qingyun's men sixteen years ago, unknowingly reappeared, and could he also have a chance to be reborn?
He knew what it would mean to him if he chose to join the side of the Demon King Fox? There may be a lot of suspicion, even disdain, but those seem to be insignificant in the face of rebirth. He wants to make up for the sins he has committed, even if it is at the cost of his life, as long as he can save a life, his existence will have meaning.
"Whew......" He cheered up the wolves with a wolf howl, and while increasing it, he also had to keep his body steady so as to create a good opportunity for the Orion warriors.
Eventually, one by one, the giant Dryads began to shake, and their speed and attack power began to decay. Lao Yi and the other Orion warriors calculated that it would take more than twenty neurotoxins to kill one of these monsters.
After all the giant tree demons fell, the group of normal-sized tree demons who had just retreated were replenished, but the neurotoxin D76 in the hands of the Orion warriors had been exhausted. Under the protection of Blackfall and his wolf pack, they retreated in the direction of Thousand Riders and the others.
When the Thousand Riders were about to re-use the Empty Water Technique to form a barrier, they were suddenly stopped by the Feathered Crane Immortal who fell from the sky.
After landing on the ground, he said, "The water sources inside and outside the city have finally been cut off, and at this moment, you are using the water control technique again to give the empty water demon a good opportunity to infiltrate. ”
"In a hurry just now, I actually forgot about it." The Thousand Riders had no choice but to give up the use of water control techniques and prepare to face the oncoming Tree Demon.
"We need to tweak a little bit and refill some feathered arrows." The leader of the Orion clan, Lao Yi, and his companions have withdrawn.
At this time, Ouyang Hongye, who was riding a demon horse, suddenly came from behind and said to them: "Qianqi, Lao Yi, Black Fall!" The demon king fox has an order, take your men and horses and retreat to the main battlefield! ”
"Yes!" Although Qianqi was still unwilling in his heart, he could only obey the order at this moment, he turned to his subordinates beside him and said, "Let's retreat!" ”
It was probably at the same time that Qianqi and the others withdrew to the main battlefield, and Min Entong added some neurotoxins to fight against the Tree Demon.
Because the tree demon had already tasted the power of the neurotoxin, he didn't dare to step forward for a while, and the two parties fell into a stalemate.
