Chapter 1480: Surprise and Sudden Enlightenment
Without any warning, the space behind Lei Xiao began to distort rapidly. Almost in the blink of an eye, a huge space crack spread rapidly, as if it was suddenly torn apart by a pair of invisible hands.
There was a bottomless void in the space crack, and an irresistible huge attraction suddenly came whistling and pulled Lei Xiao into the crack.
For a moment, not only Lei Xiao, but also Fleming, Old Gary, the stone elves, and even the pink hooded man around him were all hit and forced to move towards the bottomless crack at a high speed, making it difficult for them to gain a foothold.
Lei Xiao was not unfamiliar with this feeling. He had just experienced it in the space crack before. And it was even more obvious what was in the crack. It was the void space opposite to the real space, which was enough to easily swallow everything!
"Go to hell, you tiny human ants! Let's see what you can do this time."
The lich leader threw away the magic scroll in his hand, and his dry face was distorted and hideous.
Seeing that under the influence of the huge suction force, Lei Xiao and his group were already very close to the crack in the void space, a hint of pride emerged on the mummy-like face of the lich leader.
This is the attack scroll sealed by that lord himself. Although he ordered it to be used only at the critical moment, and there is only this one, they will definitely die this time!
However, the lich leader did not feel proud for long, as his smile soon froze on his face, because when Lei Xiao and his group were very close to the giant crack, they actually stopped and ignored the unparalleled suction.
Afterwards, the group continued to command the golem puppets to fight, and no matter how raged the space cracks behind them were, they were not affected at all!
"What the hell is going on?"
The lich leader opened his eyes wide, not daring to believe what he saw.
You know, this giant crack leading to the void space is enough to swallow thousands of troops, so why can't even the mere human ants do anything about it?
Just when Leader Wu Hao was extremely surprised, Lei Xiao remained calm and composed.
Although the crack filled with death and nothingness behind him was indeed extremely terrifying and made his scalp tingle, in front of him were equally deadly armies of undead and liches, with murderous intent boiling everywhere.
In this situation, one could die on the spot if one was not careful. In comparison, the bottomless space crack behind was not so chilling.
As for why our group was not swallowed up by the huge suction force, it was naturally because of the void resistance crystal given by the pink hooded man.
When they were about to approach the crack, the void resistance crystals in everyone's arms burst out with a powerful repulsive force, just like repelling magnets, allowing us to obtain a special barrier that completely resisted the extreme pull of the space crack.
"Sir, thanks to your crystal."
Feeling this strange feeling of being constantly attracted and offset, Lei Xiao nodded to the pink hooded man.
"Nothing. I had expected that the other party would use this method."
The pink hooded man spoke lightly, and then he was eager to try: "Can you give me some summoning scrolls to operate?"
"Your real opponent is the devil. Just leave these small matters to us."
Lei Xiao rejected the other party's proposal and said, "Don't forget that the real mastermind has not yet appeared."
"Human boy, you are not counting on me to deal with that guy alone, are you? That guy is a genuine demigod!"
The pink hooded man waved his hands and refused decisively: "It's true that I agree to assist you, but I don't agree to fly into the fire! The power of demigods is no joke! Killing a sixth-level warrior is like killing an ant!"
"Don't worry, I will stand with you."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and refocused his attention on the battlefield in front of him.
At this time, we have completely formed a situation of confrontation with the opponent. Although the opponent's sixth-level combat power is unstoppable, our cavalry has tied up a lot of forces, which also makes the opponent quite anxious.
On the vast and dark battlefield, the fight between the golem puppets and the undead was extremely fierce. They either swung their sharp blades and collided wildly, causing sparks to fly, or simply threw away their weapons and raised their fists to hit each other, leaving bones and disappearing puppet limbs everywhere.
The difference between them and ordinary soldiers is that both golems and undeads are undoubtedly free from pain and fatigue. As long as they are not completely destroyed, they will continue to fight to the end.
This directly resulted in many golem puppets and undead being in a state of missing limbs, but they still did not stop and madly launched fatal attacks on their opponents. It can be said that they were evenly matched and neither gave in until they were completely crushed.
It can be imagined that if it were ordinary soldiers, with the gap between the troops under Lei Xiao's command and the sixth-level combat power, they would have been defeated long ago.
In addition, another difference from ordinary soldiers is that the entire battlefield was filled with no shouts of killing, almost no screams and curses, only the intensive sound of energy collisions, which could be described as punches hitting flesh, constantly vibrating everyone's eardrums.
Not long after, when the space crack behind them was unable to close, allowing the group to resume their actions, Lei Xiao waved his hand without any hesitation and said, "Everyone, it's time to completely defeat the enemy!"
As Lei Xiao finished his words, our infantrymen who were fighting the enemy head-on, the archers and magicians who were attacking from a distance, and the cavalry who were charging into the enemy formation, all began to advance forward at the same time.
At the same time, a steady stream of golem puppets were being summoned out and joined the fierce battle. You should know that Lei Xiao had more than ten thousand fifth-level summoning scrolls in his hand.
"Collect the formation and crush these ants!"
Faced with our sudden action, the Lich Leader, who had suffered successive defeats, was extremely angry and took immediate countermeasures.
The enemy's target was first the cavalrymen who had broken into the enemy's line. After paying a considerable price, accompanied by a large number of tall and strong heavily armored undead rushing forward, our mounted golem puppets that had lost their mobility were quickly shattered one after another and were completely annihilated in the enemy's army formation.
As the enemy concentrated all of their sixth-order undead, which had an advantage in numbers, in the front row, our walking golem puppets that rushed forward also suffered heavy losses. Instead of expanding the encirclement, they began to retreat.
As for our ranged troops, they were covered by dense bone spears and arrows just after advancing a few steps, and the effect of the counterattack was extremely limited.
This is not surprising. After all, the enemy is attacking us from all directions and our firepower is extremely concentrated, while our firepower is extremely dispersed. Even if it is concentrated a little, it cannot cover the entire enemy formation.
"Human boy, your advance this time seems very reckless. The situation is a little bad."
Seeing our golem puppets suffer setbacks one after another, the pink hooded man revealed a bit of anxiety in his voice, frowning and saying: "If you continue like this, even if you have a lot of summoning scrolls, they will all be used up."
"Hahaha, stupid human ants actually dare to advance rashly. How ridiculous! In the end, they are just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
The Lich Leader, who also noticed this, looked crazy and continued to command the undead army to advance.
On the battlefield, the enemy's momentum was so strong that our golem puppets had almost no power to fight back. They shattered one after another and dissipated into the air.
In the blink of an eye, not only was all the space we had advanced taken back by the enemy, but it even shrunk inward a lot, making the already limited space even narrower, so that many stray arrows fell directly around Lei Xiao and his group, making the whole situation even more serious.
Just as the pink hooded man's brows were furrowed and he was at a loss, Lei Xiao's calm voice rang in his ears: "Don't worry, the show is about to begin."
As expected, as soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, a golden light suddenly burst out from the enemy camp. Giant golden light pillars shook the heaven and earth, and then resonated with each other, creating waves of dazzling golden light.
Wherever the golden light went, screams soon rang out one after another, and a large number of undead were reduced to ashes.
"Is it such a large-scale divine magic attack? Or did it suddenly appear in the enemy's army?"
The pink hooded man was stunned for a moment, and then asked in amazement: "Human boy, how did you do it?"
"The other party has already suffered a loss once, so he must be alert. Besides, those wide-area level 6 scrolls have been used up, so they are naturally not offensive magic scrolls."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and responded: "But in addition to the attack scroll, there is also a magic scroll that can easily do this."
"I understand! Is it a magic trap scroll that needs to be activated actively? I didn't expect you to secretly deploy so many magic traps!"
The pink hooded man quickly reacted and blurted out, "Could it be that you didn't just rush in recklessly, but instead deployed these magic traps to lure the other party in?"
"That's right. As long as we use magic golem puppets, it's not difficult to quietly deploy magic traps through magic scrolls."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, confirming the other party's opinion.
"But after all this, we have lost at least one-third of our fifth-level golem puppets. Is it worth it?"
The man in the pink hood suddenly felt enlightened, but at the same time he couldn't help but frown again.
"Of course, Your Excellency, you will know once you take a look at the battlefield."
Lei Xiao pointed forward and nodded to the man in the pink hood.
Looking in the direction of Lei Xiao's finger, the man in the pink hood immediately widened his eyes.
As the towering sacred golden pillars swayed back and forth and the screams in the enemy camp became more and more intense, the undead soldiers who had been unstoppable fell to the ground like puppets with their strings cut, obviously out of control.
Among them, even the sixth-order undead who were the main force were in the same situation. Some of those who did not fall down were standing there in a daze, looking shaky.
For a moment, the enemy's front-line troops almost collapsed and fell into chaos in an instant.
"What is this...?! No wonder there were screams coming from the other side's camp. It turns out they were coming from the liches who were controlling them!"
The pink hooded man suddenly realized something and blurted out, "Human boy, it turns out that your magic trap is not aimed at ordinary undead, but at those liches!"
"Yes, Your Excellency has seen it just now. These liches are extremely cunning. Even with the continuous large-scale spell attacks like before, the number of them that were directly wiped out was extremely limited. They will never easily appear in front of us."
Lei Xiao's eyes were sharp as torches as he continued, "Therefore, we can only temporarily let them think that our weakness is obvious, and then let them relax their vigilance and attack in large numbers. Only then can we have a chance to inflict heavy damage on them. This is called retreating in order to advance."
"Human boy, you really can always surprise people."
The man in the pink hood nodded as if he had understood something, and there was a hint of respect in his eyes as he looked at Lei Xiao.
"Okay, it's time to really defeat our opponent!"
This time, with Lei Xiao's order, Xiaojing, Xiaojie and other stone elves who had been prepared for a long time focused their minds and commanded our golem puppets to immediately launch a counterattack, attacking the opponent's camp at a high speed.
Not only that, Old Guy's cavalry also lined up again, and like a sharp blade, they directly inserted into the enemy's chaotic formation.
"You damned human ant, I will tear you into pieces!"
Seeing a large number of his subordinates turned to ashes in the vibrating holy light, the Lich Leader, despite being filled with impotent rage, reacted extremely quickly and immediately regrouped his troops. Even the undead guards around him were deployed to the front line.
Under the command of the Lich Leader, the Undead Army finally managed to stabilize its front and once again formed a confrontation with us.
But it is obvious that after this series of events, the Undead army has been reduced by two-thirds and can no longer gain any advantage over us, let alone encircle us.
Knowing that his advantage was gone, the Lich Leader simply adopted a defensive formation, looking as if he was determined to fight us to the end.
"Human ants, even if you are full of tricks, so what? It's just a last-ditch struggle. Even if I can't kill you, I can just hold you back!"
The Lich Leader's dry mouth curled up, trying to boost the morale of the undead army.
After hearing the words of the lich leader, the remaining liches all turned gloomy again, with murderous intent revealed in their bloodshot eyes.
All the liches understand clearly that when that adult's bewitching is complete, those powerful people outside will undoubtedly be destroyed. At that time, the black fog and blood-sucking formation will rise again, and all the ants will die without a burial place!
"Still want to hold me back? Unfortunately, you don't have this chance anymore."
Lei Xiao immediately saw through the opponent's intention and launched a full-scale attack on his opponent. (End of this chapter)
