"Your Excellency City Lord, what happened?"
Noticing the sudden change in Old Booker's expression, Lei Xiao immediately asked.
"Your Majesty the Brave, the underground fortress guarding the Watch City is under attack from "Eclipse"!"
Old Booker waved his hand, and a large map appeared. What was depicted on it was the topographic map of Guanwang City.
It can be seen from the map that there is a quite large fortress near Guangwang City. The two are at the horns of each other, and the distance is not far away.
"Without further delay, let's set off to rush for reinforcements now, and ask the old city lord to lead the way."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and stood up from his seat.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although the prompt did not indicate the punishment for failure to defend the city, since this was an isolated city waiting for reinforcements, the result was very obvious.
Once the city is breached by "Eclipse", it will naturally be difficult for us to escape the fate of being destroyed.
"Excuse me, Hero, the teleportation array leading to the fortress is not far outside the Great Temple!"
Old Booker nodded to Lei Xiao, then took the brunt of the attack and guided everyone to rush outside the temple.
It didn't take long for the group of people to arrive in front of another large teleportation array in the city. There was already a long queue here, and many well-armed elite soldiers were filing into the teleportation array. The whole scene was
He looked nervous and solemn.
"Lord City Lord, except for the Divine Stone General who is guarding the city, the other two have already rushed to the fortress!"
The middle-aged general named Curry came up and reported to Old Booker.
"Very good, you stay here as well, and I will lead the heroes to help!"
Booker nodded to Curry and ordered: "The opponent is extremely cunning, and we cannot rule out the possibility of the opponent attacking in the east and in the west."
"Got the order!"
Curry stroked his chest and saluted, and then ordered the soldiers standing in the front row of the teleportation array to get out of the way.
Upon hearing that Lei Xiao and others, as brave men, were rushing to help, all the soldiers were excited and looked at Lei Xiao and his group with respect.
But Lei Xiao keenly noticed that there was not only respect and excitement in these eyes, but also a hint of sadness and helplessness.
"It's no wonder. 'Eclipse' is too terrifying after all. It's not surprising that ordinary soldiers would have such expressions."
Lei Xiao didn't think much, and led our strong men into the teleportation array under the guidance of Old Booker.
The familiar feeling of lightness flashed past, and when Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, he had already arrived at a school field with longing figures.
He saw the human soldiers who had just come to the rescue were lining up quickly and marching towards the towering fortress wall. In addition, Lei Xiao actually saw some dwarf soldiers and alchemy puppets.
Although the strength of these soldiers is above level four and they appear to be well-trained, an obvious feeling of uneasiness still fills the air quickly.
"Your Majesty the Brave, please come this way!"
Booker clenched the sacred stone staff in his hand and began to lead the way forward again.
After another gust of wind and lightning, Lei Xiao and his group of more than a hundred people quickly climbed onto the fortress wall.
Through the gaps in the towering battlements, when Lei Xiao and others saw clearly the enemies outside the fortress, they all couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
I saw densely packed "eclipses" of different colors all suspended in the mid-air very close to me, constantly using those slender roots to attack the fortress's absolute defensive barrier crazily.
With every touch of those slender roots, the barrier wall will make an extremely dull sound, like a death knell echoing in the ears, constantly vibrating in everyone's heart.
Not only that, the fear brought about by the "eclipse" also followed him like a shadow, causing everyone to feel a chill rising.
For a moment, countless giant eyeball-like "eclipse" roots danced wildly in the air, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance. Although there was no cry of killing, it was extremely shocking.
Fortunately, most of the people Lei Xiao brought were sixth-level powerhouses. As for fourth-level Carol, Calvin, Old Nick and others, they were all placed in the temple, so as long as they mobilized the energy in their bodies to deal with it, they would be enough to avoid the opponent.
The influence of fear.
In addition, the golden brilliance of the fortress's absolute defense barrier was also dim visible to the naked eye, and cracks began to appear faintly.
"Your Majesty the Brave, this is the opponent's main attack direction. Other directions are guarded by other divine stone generals. Leave this place to me!"
Old Booker was the first to bear the brunt. As he waved his staff, a giant golden beam of light fell from the sky and hit the nearest "Eclipse".
Wherever the golden beam of light covered the area, all the "Eclipses" seemed to have been hit hard and were knocked to the ground one after another. The dozen or so in the center disappeared instantly, leaving only a pile of mucus scattered on the ground.
, evaporated quickly.
At the same time, the bodies of the soldiers around Old Booker also flashed with a golden brilliance, and they shot arrows one after another, which also shot down part of the "Eclipse" to the ground. It often took several arrows to explode one. This was obviously
It’s just that I got to share the power of old Booker’s stars.
However, in the face of tens of thousands of "eclipses", such an attack was obviously insignificant. It only caused the opponent's offensive to stagnate a little, and did not play a decisive role.
"It's time for me to show up."
Lei Xiao waved his big hand, and Xiaojie, Xiaojing and Xuanji appeared at the same time. The power of the gods followed them like a shadow, and directly activated the power of the stars of the three stone elves.
With the dual blessing of the power of the gods and the power of the stars, coupled with the power of the silver moon commonly used by the stone elves, the three stone elves completed the power stimulation in an instant and fed back even more powerful power to Lei Xiao.
.
After receiving this special power that was compatible with the power of the gods, the power of the silver moon and the power of the stars, Lei Xiao also shared it with all the powerful people on our side, making them all surrounded by a more dazzling golden light.
Flicker, obviously all have gained the power to fight against "eclipse".
All of a sudden, our strong men, who were already preparing to attack, launched an overwhelming attack and roared towards the "Eclipse" army in front of them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a series of deafening explosions, the "Eclipse" near the fortress wall was almost completely wiped out, and the effect was extremely significant.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
After the stone elves complete their power stimulation, the holder of the [God's Stone] can also share the power against "Eclipse" with the surrounding strong men. This is what Xuanji told herself.
"Your Majesty the Brave Lord is mighty!"
Seeing the mighty display of our strong men headed by Lei Xiao, Old Booker and the soldiers guarding the city were also greatly boosted in morale and rejoiced.
However, before everyone could get excited, more "Eclipses" had already surged up, densely packed, and continued to attack the crumbling barrier wall.
"Thunder arc burst!"
Purple light surged around Lei Xiao's body, and his staff pointed straight ahead at the place where the "eclipse" was most concentrated.
Wherever the dazzling lightning struck, all the "Eclipses" were instantly blasted into slime, and even the surrounding "Eclipses" were exploded. As the core of the power of the three stone elves, Lei Xiao fought against "Eclipses". "The power is far beyond the comparison of ordinary strong men. Coupled with Xuanji's strengthening, he is undoubtedly the most dazzling presence in the team.
As for the other strong men on our side, including Jasmine, although they can only erase the "eclipse" within the attack range, they are still much stronger than the attacks of Old Booker and others.
In our camp, there are a few strong people who are also very crucial, and those are naturally Sarah, Erza, Ye Cang, Nan Xing, and Nan Yue.
As the holders of the [God's Stone], the five subordinates also used the power of the gods shared by Lei Xiao to stimulate the power of Xiao Zhao, Xiao Huan, Da Zhuang, Xiao Xing and Xiao Yue, further strengthening me. To resist the power of "eclipse".
At this point, even though "Eclipse"'s offensive was extremely fierce, thanks to the efforts of Lei Xiao and his team, Old Booker and others, it finally receded like a tide and soon disappeared into the depths of the underground space.
"Have you finally defeated them?"
Lei Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief.
It has to be said that while mobilizing energy to resist the fear caused by "eclipse", while casting spells with full output, the magic power consumption is much more than in ordinary battles.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Lei Xiao looked at our strong men around him. They all looked out of breath, even the stone elves.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Brave!"

Old Booker came up to Lei Xiao with excitement, and said gratefully to Lei Xiao: "This time, thanks to the brave man."
After Old Booker finished speaking, the other accompanying generals who defended the city also nodded their thanks, all looking full of respect.
"Your Excellency, City Lord, I'm polite to you all. I've already said before that we will help you hold on until reinforcements arrive."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, then frowned slightly and asked, "Are every attack of the other party on such a scale?"
"At the beginning of the siege, the opponent's offensive was far from being so fierce, but in the past few days, it has been on this scale."
Old Booker sighed softly and responded: "Fortunately, the brave gentlemen arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
After hearing Old Booker's words, everyone on our side also breathed a sigh of relief. If they were summoned when the city was broken here, the situation would undoubtedly be even worse.
From this point of view, although our mission this time is extremely unexpected and extremely dangerous, it is at least a good start.
Among the crowd, only Lei Xiao himself still frowned and continued to ask: "Old City Lord, is there anything important you haven't told us?"
"Ah? Why do you say this, Your Majesty the Brave?"
Booker's wrinkled old face was full of confusion, and he obviously did not understand the meaning of Lei Xiao's words.
"Then let me put it more bluntly. If we were lucky enough to arrive in time and resolve the crisis this time, how did you resist the attacks of "Eclipse" in the past few times?"
Lei Xiao crossed his arms and spoke again.
As soon as Lei Xiao said this, all our strong men immediately reacted.
The lord is right. The battle just now was not easy. We tried our best to repel the enemy. According to the old city lord, it has been on this scale in the past few days. The previous attacks, the old city lord
How did they repel the enemy?
"this……"
Old Booker and the other generals who defended the city soon understood the meaning of Lei Xiao's words, and couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.
After a while, Old Booker wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded: "To be honest with you, Your Excellency, two groups of braves have been summoned here before."
"Is that true?"
Lei Xiao looked as if he was expecting it, and immediately asked: "Then how are they doing now?"
"Your Majesty the Brave, please come with me."
Old Booker nodded to Lei Xiao and began to lead the way again.
After returning to the center of the city through the teleportation array, Lei Xiao and his party finally stopped in front of a sleeping place near the Great Temple.
I saw Old Booker pointing to the brand new group of tombstones at the front, and said: "They are all here. Of course, their bones have long been gone, and the [God's Stones] have all disappeared. They are probably "corroded"
"Took it away, and the other party also knows that the [God's Stone] is their nemesis, so they will focus on dealing with it."
"No wonder the soldiers looked at us with complicated meanings such as sadness and helplessness. It turns out that two groups of lords have already fallen here with their strong men."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and frowned even more.
This is still at the current stage. What is certain is that as time goes by, the attacks of "eclipse" will definitely become more and more fierce.
Feeling awe-struck in his heart, Lei Xiao asked again: "Then how were they defeated by 'Eclipse'?"
"Returning to your Excellency the Brave, the first group of braves chose to leave the city to pursue after repelling the attack of "Eclipse", but they never came back."
Old Booker did not hide any more and told the truth: "The second batch was the "Eclipse" who sneaked into the city. They first parasitized and then used a beauty trap to separate the leader of the brave man from the [God's Stone], and then took advantage of their unpreparedness.
At that time, it was completely devoured, and the [Stone of God] disappeared."
"Isn't there an absolute defensive barrier here? The opponent can actually sneak into the city?"
Lei Xiao's brows furrowed even more and he asked.
"They sneaked in before the siege of the city, and there were a lot of them. Although I led people to conduct thorough investigations many times, there were still fish that slipped through the net."
Old Booker shook his head helplessly and responded.
"After being parasitized by "Eclipse", the person being parasitized should have obvious characteristics. How could he not be able to tell the difference and still be infected?"
Jasmine curled her lips and asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"Because in the early stages of being parasitized, the characteristics are not obvious and can be easily obscured. Especially when the host's consciousness has not been completely erased and the host's body has not been completely controlled, it is even difficult for the host himself to detect it."
Booker's old face was even more helpless, and he responded: "So, although we have a lot of means to track "eclipse" and distinguish "eclipse", there will still be some mistakes."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
The other party is right, the white knight is the best example. At the beginning, the crystal on the white knight's forehead was indeed only a small piece.
"By the way, Your Majesty the Brave, there is one more thing."
Chapter completed!
