Chapter 432: The Scuffle in the Gobi
On the desolate Gobi Plateau, the sand and gravel rolled up by the wind constantly hit the cliffs, like a hundred ghosts whistling, and mixed with the sound of the wind, there are sonorous drums.
Beneath a huge cliff somewhere on the plateau, tens of thousands of troops from the Ajmal Empire have gathered here and are fighting bloodily.
The 'enemy' surrounded by them was a super-large beast in front of the cliff.
It was a sphinx-faced monster, dozens of meters tall, with a mane like a snake, skin like iron scales, a pair of bat wings growing on its back, and a cold scorpion hook poison needle extending from the tip of its tail.
The Manticore, a mythical monster that has been entrenched in the depths of the desert for many years, has now appeared in front of the army of Ajrumar.
The shouting and killing sound at the scene shook the sky, and the roar of the demonic beast resounded in the sky like thunder. As a mythical creature, even if the manticore is facing an army of 100,000 alone, it will not fall behind in terms of momentum or combat effectiveness, and the reason why it is still in a state of being surrounded by a large army is purely because the manticore wants to guard his territory - this mountain cliff behind it!
In the middle of the cliff behind the manticore, there is a circular cave mouth with a diameter of several tens of meters.
It was the manticore's lair, but at this time, the entrance to the lair was covered by a layer of enchantment, which was directly connected to the manticore's life, and before the manticore's health dropped below 50%, that enchantment would be in an invincible state.
Because of this, the 100,000-strong army led by Evans had to fight the manticore head-on first.
"Right side!"
"Archers ready...... Shoot the arrows! ”
"Team Mages, Mire Formation!"
……
In the middle of the army, an Evans deputy officer, holding a military flag, gave orders in an orderly manner.
Under his skillful command, this well-trained team burst out to the maximum combat effectiveness, even in the face of mythical creatures such as manticores, they still fought back and forth.
Of course, it is far from enough to rely on a large number of people, if there is no master to contain them, the manticore can easily destroy them with a big move.
And at this moment, in front of the manticore, it is the strongest person in the entire empire, the legion leader Evans.
As a rare level 30 top master in the entire Star Spirit Realm, Evans has one person and one sword, and he is fearless in hand-to-hand combat with the manticore.
I saw the sword light in the sky, and the crescent-shaped sword qi continued to fly out from the broadsword in Evans's hand, exploding a handful of blood flowers all over the body of the manticore.
The stormy attack made the thick-skinned manticore lion unable to ignore his existence, and with a roar in the sky, dozens of huge stone cones quickly formed in the sky, and then under the control of the manticore, at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, stabbing towards Evans below in turn.
Boom......
Each stone cone caused an explosion below, and the soldiers around him were sweating for Evans.
Evans, on the other hand, showed his superior combat instincts, constantly rolling and swimming in these waves of blasting air, one after another falling rocks fell around him.
After a set of flowing dodges, all the stone cones fell, none of them hit, and at the same time, Evans flipped his hand, and the billowing sword qi continued to explode on the manticore's body.
The scene erupted in cheers. The strength of the corps commander Evans made all the soldiers enthusiastic and their morale greatly increased!
The manticore, on the other hand, was slipped around by an inconspicuous ant, which made it restless, and the cheers around it at the moment were even more mocking to its ears.
The manticore suddenly roared, and the lion's body was raised up, and then it fell extremely fast, slamming its fists into the ground.
"Boom!"
With the movement of the scorpion lion, more than ten whirlwinds suddenly condensed on the sand at the scene, whirling up the sand and dust in the sky, and swept towards the dense soldiers around them.
"The wind is coming, quickly arrange it according to the lightning formation!"
The commander in the formation hurriedly waved his flag and shouted.
And the tens of thousands of soldiers below were also forbidden, and they began to change formations in an instant.
The entire army was like a tree-shaped diagram, from which many empty rifts were splintered, and they bent and spread outward. From above, the entire army seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning, and a number of spacious roads emerged in the dense formation.
What's even more amazing is that the dozen or so whirlwinds, as if deliberately cooperating with their actions, swept through these vacated roads one after another, without affecting the armies on either side in the slightest.
Tens of seconds later, all the whirlwinds disappeared, and the scattered armies gathered again, and this Manticore's ultimate move was perfectly dodged by them!
There was no surprise at all, because they had been fighting the manticore lion here on and off for three days, during which time they had figured out all the abilities and restraint methods of the manticore, so that they could fight against the manticore lion so easily.
Again, the boss that has been figured out is no longer a threat, which is not only applicable to the player, but also to these indigenous armies.
"Hold on, come again! Archers ready to ......"
With the commander's shouts, all the soldiers returned to their original positions and began a new assault......
In the middle of the battlefield, Evans once again easily dodged a claw swung by the manticore, and in the impotent rage of the opponent, temporarily retreated, and at the same time threw a probe at the manticore.
Manticore, level 31, current health: 17095415/34200000.
Evans breathed a sigh of relief, after three days of continuous wheel battles, they finally knocked down 50% of the Manticore's life!
And from this moment on, the scorpion lion's lair in the rear has become a breachable state.
All they have to do is find a way to lure the manticore away from the mouth of the lair, and then send their prepared demolition team to break through the entrance and break into the cave in search of the magic lamp.
Everything was going according to plan, but there was always a sense of unease in Evans's mind.
What he worries about is not the combat effectiveness of his army, whether it can hold out until the entrance opens. These are all elites trained by him himself, and his willpower is tenacious, even if he fights with the manticore lion for a day and a night, it will not be a problem.
But the premise of all this is that no one interferes with them.
Evans couldn't help but sweep away the mountains in the distance with his afterglow, and now he was only one step away from the birth of the magic lamp, would that person appear?
Captain Ghost hadn't reappeared in the past three days, but Evans didn't dare to be careless, after all, the other party was the strongest of the Fool clan, and he was also a Sky City Lord, and his strength and appeal should not be underestimated.
His intuition reminded him that the other party would not let him get the magic lamp so easily......
Evans shook his head, no matter what, now was the time to reap the fruits of the victory, and there was no time to hesitate.
Evans landed on the ground and hurriedly accelerated his attack again, and the dense sword qi exploded all over the manticore's body, instantly making the manticore establish a more solid hatred for him.
Enraged, the manticore lunged at him with a loud roar.
Evans, on the other hand, took the opportunity to fight and retreat, attracting the manticore lion to gradually move away from the entrance of the lair.
As the manticore retreated a kilometer away, the entire cliff was finally completely exposed to his army.
The commander was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the demolition team that had been preparing for a long time to start the operation.
On the front line of the army, a small group of elites suddenly branched out and secretly touched towards the manticore's nest, and all kinds of powerful magic were already in their hands.
Unfortunately, the manticore lion was not so sluggish, and had just chased it out not far before he realized something, and hurriedly stopped, turned his head just to catch the group that was approaching its lair, and was immediately furious, and was about to flap its wings and fly back to the lair.
Fortunately, Evans was also prepared for this situation, and when he saw that the manticore lion noticed it, he immediately stopped holding back, and instantly burst out with all his strength, and a stormy attack came out of his hand, all of which bombarded the manticore.
Even if he was as strong as a manticore, he was a little stunned by Evans's sudden outburst, and he staggered by the impact, and he had no time to care about it for a while.
The army line also took the opportunity to move over and block the manticore's way, completely separating it from the entrance to the lair, buying time for the demolition team.
"Roar!"
The manticore, realizing that he had been scheming, roared angrily, and immediately tried to break through the barrier and go back to protect the lair, but under the fierce resistance of Evans and the army, it was never able to get closer to the lair.
"Hold on! The dawn of victory lies ahead! The commander's shouts were heard in the wind over the battlefield.
However, just when everyone thought that the plan would go so smoothly.
Outside the valley in the distance, there was a sudden earth-shattering shouting of killing.
Many people subconsciously looked back, and saw that outside their army array, at the cliff in the distance, a group of people and horses swept around the corner and killed in, it was the more than 1,000 followers of the Caesar God Cult!
Everyone suddenly became nervous, and all the soldiers knew very well that this group of people was their most direct competitor in this operation, and now the other party really appeared at this special node, although the number of the other party was very small, but now they were racing against time with the manticore lion, but they had no time to deal with these people!
"Lord Evans!"
The Commander hurriedly looked at Evans and asked for his instructions.
While Evans was trying his best to deal with the manticore, Yu Guang glanced outward, and quickly asserted: "Don't worry, it's a feint, keep moving!" ”
Years of experience in leading troops into battle made him see through at a glance that those people were only looking heroic on the surface, but in fact they had no fighting spirit at all, obviously referring to relying on momentum to attract their attention, and when the official battle came, they would definitely be defeated immediately.
Feints, that is, the real attack will come from somewhere else.
Where is it?
Evans immediately scanned the entire battlefield, including the sky, but found nothing unusual.
Just when he was feeling a little strange, suddenly, there was a slight tremor from under the ground.
"Underground?" Evans frowned.
And by the time he realized it, it was already a little late.
The tremor in the entire sand quickly amplified, and in the next second, a huge white bone dragon head drilled out of the sand, along with the dragon's neck, dragon body, and dragon tail behind......
In just one second, a complete bone dragon emerged from the ground, directly exposed to the eyes of the 100,000 army, and it was only a few hundred meters away from the manticore lion's lair.
The moment he saw the bone dragon, Evans was alarmed: it was a mythical creature again!
At the same time, he had noticed two figures standing on the dragon's head: one of them was a mech holding an exaggerated cannon barrel, and the other was a female forest spirit with a bow and arrow.
As soon as the bone dragon appeared, it immediately swam its body and flew low towards the entrance of the manticore's lair on the cliff.
"Demolition team, stop it!"
Without Evans making a sound, the commander had already sensed the urgency of the situation, and hurriedly ordered the demolition team to stop and turn back to stop the bone dragon.
The composition of this demolition team is basically composed of mages with high-power magic, and there is little ability to defend, so they hurriedly turn around and throw all kinds of attacks at hand at the bone dragon.
However, as everyone attacked, the petrified gaze automatically took effect, and everyone suddenly felt like they were falling into a mire, their whole bodies quickly became stiff, and their every move seemed to be slowed down.
In the next moment, the bone dragon rushed forward with the momentum of a charge, directly crashing into all the attacks and obstacles in front of it with brute force, and slammed into the barrier at the mouth of the nest with the momentum of breaking the army.
"Boom!"
With this dull crashing sound, a circle of cracks suddenly appeared on the transparent barrier that was visible to the naked eye.
The soldiers below were shocked when they saw it, just this collision was more obvious than the results they had just blasted for half a day, according to this efficiency, as long as there were two or three more times, they should be able to directly break through the enchantment!
The bone dragon was sent flying by the recoiling force of the enchantment, but then regained its strength, spun around in mid-air, and swam again.
"Boom!"
On the second impact, the cracks on the barrier widened again, and gaps were already visible to the naked eye in many places.
This time, everyone below can see that if there is one more impact, the barrier will be broken!
The two consecutive impacts made the bone dragon a little dizzy, and after shaking its head in mid-air and regaining consciousness, it immediately charged towards the barrier again.
But this time, just as the bone dragon was rushing forward, and the dragon's head was about to crash into the barrier, a roar sounded from behind.
The bone dragon's body suddenly froze, and it was only a few meters away from the barrier. The bone dragon looked back, only to find that its dragon tail was firmly grasped by a manticore, even if the whole dragon body was straight, it was still a little bit too close to reach the enchantment.
In the next moment, the bone dragon was pulled back by the angry manticore, fell heavily to the ground, and stepped on it, only to hear a cracking sound, and the body of the bone dragon was trampled in half in response.
Fortunately, the bone dragon was not so fragile, and the broken keel quickly floated up automatically, joining end to end, and reintegrating together.
Being trampled off in front of so many people, the bone dragon was also furious, like a nimble long snake, quickly climbed onto the body of the manticore, entangled it, and then opened its huge mouth and spewed a green poisonous mist towards the manticore.
The poisonous mist spread rapidly, and all the soldiers below who were shrouded in poisonous gas immediately covered their throats with their hands, and fell to the ground bleeding from their seven orifices, struggling in pain, while the scorpion lion was mentally safe under the poisonous gas, but the scale armor on his body also quickly dissolved under the corrosion of the poisonous mist.
Of course, the manticore lion was not to be outdone, after all, it was one star higher, and at the same time, the feline fighting snake was also a professional counterpart, and the two giant beasts immediately rolled and fought in the sand.
For a time, the wind was blowing on the Gobi, and the sand and dust were filled, and the rolling sandstorm almost obscured everyone's vision.
And in the cover of the dust, in the open space not far from the manticore's lair, a silver-white mecha quietly landed, and above the muzzle of the cannon in his hand, the dazzling light was already dazzling to the extreme, and even penetrated the obstacle of the sand and dust, and was detected by Evans in the distance.
"Oops!" Evans' eyelids were jumping, already realizing something, and he hurriedly rushed in the direction of the light as fast as he could, trying to stop the other party.
However, he had barely taken a step when he heard the sound of a cannon in the distance.
The silver pillar of light broke through the sand and slammed straight into the barrier.
"Phew!" Under a cannon full of power, the already crumbling scorpion lion's nest enchantment shattered in response.
