The gates of Starwind City were wide open, and the armored warriors stepped out of the city.
Eureka rode on the long-awaited undead war horse and saw Li Ran, the skeleton warrior Hart, and the ten newly recruited skeleton soldiers outside the city gate who were ready to go.
"Inspector Eureka, please allow me to participate in the battle." Li Ran winked at her.
"Welcome back to the team." Eureka smiled and nodded.
Led by Captain Eureka and Evan, one hundred and twelve zombie warriors, eleven skeleton soldiers, and one untransformed human descendant set off from the city. The long queue was like a winding silver snake.
.
Half a day later, at a mountain pass in the south of Starwind City, the two teams gathered together. Eureka, Yibes, Captain Evan, Salina and Li Ran formed a pre-war command team to attack the Well of Souls.
After conducting a detailed investigation, an integrated combat plan was immediately formulated.
...
In the middle of the Fengling Plain, a low mountain range stands. Anyone who gets close to this mountain range can feel the temperature drop. The Well of Souls is hidden in the mountains. These mountains are like a natural steel city wall.
The Well of Souls protects it.
This is not just a drop in temperature, this cold and shuddering feeling also affects the soul.
The Well of Souls constantly emits powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. If there are no protective measures, weak creatures will have their souls slowly drained away and become a ray of fuel for the Well of Souls.
The undead legions commanded by the Starbreaker Priests need not worry about this; their presence is the unbreakable defensive force of the Well of Souls.
In the valley, densely packed undead were gathered, and there were thousands of skeleton soldiers, like a silver ocean.
Powerful corpse witches surround the Well of Souls, and under the leadership of the Starbreaker priests are performing the final ritual - using the spiritual vortex of countless dead souls to establish a time and space channel to the outer star world, so that the messenger of the Lord can
can come.
——Boom!
A loud noise came from the north, accompanied by the roar of the dragon. It was the invaders' front. They found allies and gathered powerful strength.
The invaders had penetrated the outer defenses of the valley, and the fierce fighting caused the collapse of the mountain.
"Humans and dark elves come together. This is impossible to happen in my prediction..." Sandro thought thoughtfully, and several tentacles swayed rapidly under the black hood. "What exactly is it?
What went wrong?"
In order to open the Gate of Divine Punishment as quickly as possible, he did not distract his energy and attack the two surviving cities, which would greatly slow down the opening of the Gate of Divine Punishment.
Unexpectedly, they discovered the secret of the Well of Souls and joined forces to launch an attack.
"The concept of Starbreaker is a more thorough truth than eternal death, and it can also help me conquer Ashan faster. The opening of this passage cannot be interfered with, and I must find a way to strengthen the defense of the Well of Souls."
Sandro looked at the Well of Souls, where a huge spiritual vortex had gathered that penetrated the heaven and earth. This miraculous building was built with the supreme evil weapon "Cursed Armor" as its core.
【Curse Armor】
[Ancient/Evil Weapon/Special]
The Well of Souls naturally has the ability to fuse soul and matter for recasting. For necromancers with super-level strength, it may be able to use it to a small extent.
Snapped!
Sandro snapped his fingers, and the Corpse Witch below obeyed the order and drove the surrounding skeleton regiments into the Well of Souls. More and more bones began to float away along with the soul vortex.
...
When the coalition forces advanced to the edge of the valley, a huge white bone giant howled in pain and crawled out of the vortex of the Well of Souls.
Correspondingly, there is a large area of scorched earth left vacant around the Well of Souls, where there should have been several skeleton corps. The exposed black soil is like a sore in the silver valley, which is very eye-catching.
"Damn it, is there such a creature in the cemetery?" Li Ran exclaimed.
Captain Evan worried: "This is not an undead creature, but a white bone construct. It was used by the Necromancer when he attacked Starwind City. These war machines require a lot of resources and magic power to construct, but they cannot be maintained for a long time. In a short time,
Possessing extremely terrifying durability and destructive power.”
【Bone Giant】
[Level 7/Bone Construct]
[Attribute rating: strength, a, physical strength, b agility, c psionic energy, c]
Yibesi looked grim: "Our team lacks heavy firepower, and we don't have time to carry siege machinery. Only my magic can pose a slight threat to him..."
The coalition forces entered the valley and drew a black edge on the edge of the silver-white Skeleton Sea.
The warriors of the Undead Chapter formed a shield wall at the front of the line. Because they generally had second-level strength, the skeleton soldiers at the edge of the valley could not stop them at all.
The strong tauren are in the second echelon. Although there are only forty of them, they are huge and ferocious. Each swing of the giant ax can chop down several skeleton soldiers.
The coalition's front line advanced very efficiently. But with one hundred against four thousand, no matter how fast it was, it seemed slow, like a cricket shaking a tree or an ant gnawing an elephant.
The silver sea in the entire valley produced a tidal effect. The pieces in front fell one by one, and the ones behind them would surge up to fill the gap.
Yibesi continued to release powerful magic, each one of which created a void, but it only caused a wave in the ocean.
Li Ran led Hart and the skeleton warriors on the left wing of the front, waving their long swords to continuously harvest. The attribute gains of the trainee knights and the combat instincts gained from practicing sword skills were more than enough to deal with the skeleton soldiers in front of him, but there were too many of them.
, even with Li Ran's powerful energy recovery ability, it is only barely enough to sustain the battle.
At this moment, he wished so much that he could have a scroll of meteors and fire rain, and tear it with both hands to kill the skeleton army in front of him.
After going smoothly at the beginning, the battle gradually became difficult.
The soldiers are different from Li Ran. Mechanical killing requires a lot of physical strength and there is no time to recover. The energy is gradually exhausted, but the skeleton soldiers are almost endless.
Sandro sat firmly on the high platform with disdain in his eyes.
Mortal races will always blindly sacrifice for the noble cause, and their so-called nobleness is just self-deception.
Suddenly, a black shadow fell towards the ground at extreme speed, and its target was Sandro!
Selina tried to behead the Starbreaker Priest, and that was her full blow!
The moment the black dragon impacted Sandro, a violent explosion occurred between the two. After the dazzling flash, Salina was lifted into the air by a strong shock wave.
what happened?
The coalition soldiers were stunned. Why didn't the attack work?
The black dragon fell silently into the sea of silver, and the dense skeleton warriors immediately overwhelmed her.
Sandro lifted his hood, and his sinister half-skeleton face was suddenly covered with tentacles. Each tentacle looked like a finger, wearing a protective ring!
The tentacles kept rolling, and most of the gems on the rings above had exploded or melted.
"Very good." Sandro Jiejie smiled, "You are very good, young black dragon. Even powerful angels rarely pose such a threat to me."
"These rings are not extraordinary. They can resist forbidden spells, but they were all destroyed by you with one blow..."
"You regard yourself as a meteor and want to use the gravity of the fall to smash me to death. Of course, the impact will also kill you in an instant. I didn't expect you to be so determined."
"You broke through all my protective spells and protective rings, and almost killed me. Now, you should be grateful to these shield magics for mitigating the impact and saving you."
"Then I'll kill you." Sandro snapped his fingers, and the bone giant walked towards the black dragon.
The pace of the white-bone giant became faster and faster, and he started running with the huge skeleton - hitting the black dragon hard.
"Hahahahaha!"
Sandro let out a heart-rending laugh.
It's time to bring this battle to an end. We must end this farce as soon as possible and open the door to divine punishment.
Sandro strolled leisurely by the Well of Souls, snapped his fingers again, and gave orders to the corpse witches.
Forty corpse witches cast spells together.
Yes, it was Sandro's conspiracy to allow the coalition forces to advance smoothly into the heart of the valley.
Facing the attacks from all directions by the Skeleton Soldiers, the smaller coalition forces could only shrink their front and defend in a circular formation, greatly reducing their advancement speed.
This team was already overwhelmed. Under the continuous high-intensity combat conditions, even the strong tauren were somewhat exhausted.
The corpse witches successively released bloodthirsty thaumaturgy, attack acceleration and other buffing spells, and the bright blue soul fire of the skeletons suddenly turned into blood red.
The originally peaceful sea of white and silver skeletons stirred up waves of blood. They were no longer mechanical undead creatures wielding swords, but violent corpse beasts hungry for flesh and blood!
Those blood-thirsty skeletons even climbed onto other skeletons, and the skeleton soldiers were densely packed and sweeping towards the coalition forces in layers!
"What is that?" Li Ran exclaimed.
"Hold your position!" Captain Evan shouted, and the soldiers roared and raised their shield walls in preparation for the impact.
Yibesi came to the front to guide the spell. Powerful magic waves surged around her, and she was released dangerously before the enemy's impact arrived.
"Ice Ring!"
The ice and snow gathered around the coalition forces and then shot out to the surrounding areas.
The first huge wave of bloodthirsty skeleton soldiers was intercepted and dispersed, and the momentum of the attack weakened slightly, but the pressure on the coalition forces to hold the front was still great.
The warriors clung to the giant shield and formed a shield wall with the warriors around them to prevent the skeletons from rushing into the queue. Occasionally, they could seize the opportunity to thrust their swords out of the gaps in the shield wall, causing casualties to the skeletons.
There are constantly soldiers falling down beside them due to exhaustion, while the soldiers behind will rush forward with their shields raised.
If viewed from a high altitude, all the skeletons in the valley are concentrated to the north.
The coalition forces could no longer advance any further. Instead, they became fat meat that fell into a swarm of sharks. They were constantly bitten and bled, and would soon be devoured.
...
Eureka galloped through the forest.
Behind her were twenty dark elf lizard cavalry.
In the previous reconnaissance, the stalker found a route in the mountain forest west of the Well of Souls that was sufficient for the cavalry troops to pass.
Eureka led the Lizard Cavalry, and they passed through a difficult coniferous forest, skirted the ridge, stepped over several skeleton corpses, and saw the target location mentioned by the stalker.
From here go north.
Eureka pulled the reins, and the entire cavalry team changed direction lightly.
Wow...
Thick leaves flapped against Eureka's breastplate.
When Eureka broke out of the bushes first, the horse was lucky not to be tripped.
Eureka's eyes widened instantly. She was galloping at the southernmost end of the valley where the Well of Souls was located. There were gray clouds above her head and the dark earth beneath her feet.
A lizard knight jumped out of the jungle immediately after him.
Without the restraints of tree roots, the cavalry team's speed became faster and faster, reaching its limit in a blink of an eye.
Eureka drew her sword and pointed at Sandro on the high platform of the Well of Souls!
...
The leader was threatened by the cavalry, and after hurried mobilization, the skeleton regiment began to return to the defense. However, the bloodthirsty skeletons crowding the valley to the north were attracted by the coalition forces who were locked in a bitter battle, and it was difficult to form a formation and return to the savior.
The white-bone giant who was fighting the black dragon received an order to return to defense. Perhaps his huge body could block the cavalry charge, but as soon as the giant changed direction, the black dragon immediately knocked it down, and the two continued to fight.
Nothing can stop them anymore.
Sandro ignored his manners and shouted orders loudly. The corpse witches in the audience released heavy curses, and thick clouds of black mist attacked the cavalry.
The chest of the leading female knight suddenly exuded a holy light, as if something was exerting a powerful purifying effect. The black mist dissipated, and all the curses were ineffective.
out of control.
Sandro hadn't felt this way for a long time, but he was so powerful that he was not afraid of a cavalry team.
Sandro began to chant a mantra.
...
Magic arrows and chain lightning hit the thick enchanted plate armor head-on. Eureka, as a level 6 dark knight, could still withstand it, but the lizard knights behind began to suffer casualties.
But at extremely fast speeds, Eureka and the Lizard Knights quickly rushed to the Well of Souls.
They rushed in front of the corpse witches and began to slaughter with lances and lizards' bloody mouths. These corpse witches were masters of casting curse spells, but in front of Eureka, who was wearing the Heart of the Griffin, they had no power to fight back.
The Starbreaker priests on the high platform chanted obscure spells.
The surrounding land trembled violently, and the condensed earth and rocks burst out and hurt people, shooting out in a radial pattern. The lizard cavalry were overturned one after another, and one cavalry crashed into a huge rock at high speed, turning into a ball of blood foam.
Earth spells, rocks and sharp thorns!
Eureka's horse missed the mark, but she was well prepared. She immediately stepped on the saddle and leaped high, using inertia to fall towards the priest who was chanting the curse.
A look of fear appeared on the face of the black-robed priest. Eureka fell to the ground for a moment, and the sword in his hand had killed the mage.
Success?
After the illusion of being beheaded was shattered, three priests appeared at the same time, standing in front of her and smiling.
"Mirror, all mages know it." Sandro shrugged.
Eureka took a defensive stance.
The black-robed mage waved his hand, and the protruding earth and rocks formed on the ground condensed one after another, turning into earth element puppets. The lizard knights below the high platform continued to suffer casualties.
Not far from the Well of Souls, the battle between the black dragon and the bone giant also ended.
The strength of the white bone giant crushed the black dragon, and Selina was injured again. At this time, the black dragon lay silently in a pool of blood, not knowing whether it was alive or dead.
But under the dragon's desperate struggle, the white-bone giant was also dismantled into pieces, like a torn assembly doll, paralyzed in place.
"This is a duel, isn't it?" Sandro smiled and hooked Eureka.
Eureka brandished her long sword and attacked the mage with all her strength.
After crushing another mirror image, the number of mirror images on the surrounding huge rocks and broken land increased instead of decreasing. At this time, there were actually more than ten mirror images chanting the curse together.
"Is this the strength of a super mage?" Eureka clenched her sword tightly.
Many illusions merged into one, Sandro's fingertips flashed with lightning, and the obscure spell spoke the last syllable.
"Thunder Explosive Bomb——"
Eureka knew that it was a legendary and extremely powerful single-target spell, and there was no chance of survival after being hit.
She sighed and closed her eyes.
...
Li Ran saw that the coalition forces were unable to advance and could only stay in place to maintain their front, so he proposed a bold tactic.
Go underground!
It usually takes a long time to dig a two-hundred-meter mine tunnel, but the land around the Well of Souls is almost devoid of rocks. It is filled with broken bones and bone meal, which peel off like gravel and plaster.
Li Ran tried hard to swing the mining pick with the special effect of earth-bending magic, and a large piece of the bone soil in front of him collapsed.
The trainee knight raised Li Ran's energy to C level, and combined with "Infinite Energy" and "Karlov's Mine Strengthening Technique", Li Ran's master-level mining technique was completely stimulated!
Li Ran had only one idea, and that was to reach the bottom of the Well of Souls as soon as possible.
Then, blow it up!
Shattered Star Priest and Well of Souls, one must die first!
But when Li Ran dug through the last piece of soil and felt the surging spiritual energy, Li Ran knew something was wrong.
Yibesi gave up condensing magic power and regretted:
"The Well of Souls is wrapped in a spiritual vortex and can absorb huge impacts. We cannot directly destroy the Well of Souls."
Li Ran continued to wield the mining pick and said excitedly:
"Then let's go directly to the Shattered Star Priest!"
After a while, Li Ran dug through the passage and came to the south of the Well of Souls.
Here, due to the sharp thorns of the rocks, a hollow corridor is formed for passage.
Yibes frowned: "I can't cast spells anymore. If I get closer, he will sense me."
Li Ran nodded and took out several spherical devices from the space ring.
"What about this?"
Yibes was surprised: "Why do you still have this thing?"
"Ha! I am the top miner in the entire Asia Mountains!"
Li Ran placed the magic bomb in the corridor ahead.
As he spoke, he pulled Yibes back.
From the soil above our heads, Sandro's chanting could be heard faintly.
"Thunder Explosive Bomb——"
Li Ran's face darkened and he immediately detonated the bomb:
"Eat my magic bomb!"
...
Sandro's Thunderbolt spell is condensed and formed.
Eureka is ready to face death.
Super level mage...too powerful.
All plans failed, and carefully planned tactics were crushed by strength.
Is this the end?
How many Starbreaker armies will come out of the space-time gate torn open by the Well of Souls?
Can the Southern Development Zone still be defended?
Sandro pronounced the last syllable - "Thunderbolt!"
For some reason, Eureka felt no tears or hatred at this moment, she could only feel that the Griffin Heart necklace on her chest was getting hotter and hotter.
She heard a faint voice coming from underground.
"Magic bomb!"
"?"
When Sandro's spell was released, the ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded!
Under the smoke and dust in the sky, Sandro disappeared.
The fatal blow was interrupted!
Eureka stretched out her hand to block the flying rocks and heard a familiar voice coming from the explosion crater.
"I'm not late, am I?"
It's Li Ran!
Eureka's heart was beating wildly.
Li Ran walked out of the smoke, followed by Yibeisi. He said angrily: "I originally wanted to blow up the Well of Souls, but Yibeisi said that I had no choice but to blow up this old boy."
Eureka was extremely surprised. Although she didn't know how he did all this, she knew that it was Li Ran who saved her.
Although it was gratifying to escape death, she couldn't help but worry. Will things turn around if Yibei Si and Li Ran join the battle?
Having just experienced a terrifying battle, she already had the answer in her heart.
The strong wind blew past and the vision became clear again.
In front of the Well of Souls, Sandro floated into the air.
"This farce should end. You have brought too many surprises."
Sandro's voice was filled with chillness.
Super mage Sandro is about to use all his firepower to kill the three people in front of him.
Ibeth immediately recited a spell to counterattack, but the attack spells of the Level 6 Shadow Mistress were like nothing in the face of the super-level mage's magic shield.
Eureka knew that the end of the war was inevitable.
The inevitable fate of death made the girl half-kneeling on the ground helplessly.
Despair makes people want to give up.
At this time, a voice sounded in her ears:
"Only hard work can change your destiny. If you don't work hard, you can't achieve anything. Who knows the result until the last moment?"
This is what Li Ran once said.
He...really did it.
I was mortal, but he saved me at the last moment.
The Well of Souls is protected by a spiritual vortex and is difficult to be destroyed directly. The Starbreaker priest must be killed...
This is what everyone thinks.
Is this really the case?
Eureka feels the pain.
The Griffin Heart necklace on her chest was hot, as if it was burning her soul.
She could feel that the sacred essence of this holy object resonated with the evil core in the Well of Souls.
It is like ice and fire, white and black, nobility and degradation, life and death, the purest two extreme energies in the world that confront each other.
Eureka's body moved.
She used local materials and picked up the lances scattered by the Lizard Knights on the ground. With great strength, she threw the lances at Sandro like an Amazon warrior.
The first lance was deflected by Sandro's body shield and plunged into the soil with a buzz.
The heavy attack from the second lance opened a crack in Sandro's shield. Sandro ignored it and continued to recite the powerful incantation.
Immediately afterwards, another lance came through the air and nailed Sandro's shield hard.
Sandro was tired of this harassment, and he once again pointed the lingering electric light at the running female knight.
In the horrified eyes of Li Ran and Yibei, another thunderous bomb shot out.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the super mage's full blow shuttled through the air.
The magic shield cast by Yibes in a hurry was like the skin of an egg, easily penetrated by the high-energy lightning ball.
The moment the thunderous bomb flew in front of him.
Eureka raised her head high and gripped her rifle.
The crimson eyes suddenly burst into infinite fighting spirit!
"It's now!"
Eureka threw the last lance with all her strength and threw it hard.
At the same moment, the fatal spell penetrated Eureka's armor, and a cloud of blood mist burst out from behind her and sprayed on Li Ran. Li Ran desperately tried to hug the fallen knight.
But the remains of the body quickly turned into a ball of black ashes.
Sandro watched all this with satisfaction. The constant surprises and the provocation of the female knight had worn away his patience. He just wanted these insects to die obediently.
This is how things should be.
The lance was still flying. Although it was powerful, it missed the mark and flew straight into the Well of Souls.
A weird scream suddenly sounded.
In the bright blue spiritual vortex, the golden and black energy lines are entangled, intertwined, and confront each other. The purest original power in the holy objects and evil weapons are incompatible, and the energy operation of the Well of Souls is completely out of control.
The psychic explosion starts from the core and spreads outward. Along with the continuously rotating psychic vortex, it forms a psychic storm that penetrates the sky, and finally culminates in a big explosion that annihilates everything.
"what have you done!?"
Sandro only had time to panic for a moment before he was swept into the psychic storm.
Of all the people, only Li Ran knew the answer.
The shining heart of the gryphon was tied to the lance flying to the Well of Souls.
