Chapter 1271 Attack Under the Cover of Night
The setting sun was like blood, reflecting a large human fortress standing between two giant peaks. It was the iron and stone fortress located in the northernmost part of Pars.
Although the two giant peaks around the Iron Stone Fortress have their own characteristics, each is shrouded in clouds and mist and looks majestic, but they are both part of a huge mountain range, the Baibu Mountains.
The Baibu Mountains are so majestic, starting from the northern coastline of the Pars Empire, passing through the borders of the Kingdom of Grim, the border of the Cold Flame Kingdom, the border of the Holy Night Kingdom, and ending on the northern coastline of the Canlan Federation, spanning the entire tectonic plate. South, separated the entire human world from the outside world, leaving only many large and small passes connecting it.
Outside the mountainous area where the Iron Stone Fortress is located, there is a vast complex area composed of huge swamps, wastelands, canyons, caves, and rivers, home to orcs, gnolls, wild boars and other wild forces.
They have been the enemies of the human race for three thousand years. Wherever they go, only charred bones are left. They are full of blood debts. They also block the human race from taking steps to the outside world and imprison the human race in a corner, just like what Lei Xiao mentioned before. As you can see, these are the first targets of the human army.
As the sun sets, a large tribe of wild boar people at the junction of the wilderness and the canyon also welcomes night. Dark green magic light balls released by the wild boar shaman are suspended everywhere.
Under the dark curtain, the night wind was biting, these strange and dazzling lights reflected the mottled remains hanging on the tribe's wall, including the human race.
The pair of hollow and cracked eye sockets looked exactly in the direction of the Iron Stone Fortress, which was their hometown that was so close but unable to return.
In the central area of the continuous wild boar tribe, a giant leather tent is particularly eye-catching. The rich forest green light on the surface of the tent can be seen flashing, and it is obviously blessed with some kind of powerful defensive spell.
And inside the huge tent, surrounded by a group of strong wild boar men, a fat wild boar man was crazily stuffing food into his mouth. The curved and sharp fangs on both sides were covered with oil.
"Chief, are you satisfied with today's meal? This is a rare mutated thorn black lizard. It took a lot of effort for the villain to catch it from under the noses of the lizard people."
Another wild boar shaman wearing a robe rubbed his hands and said flatteringly.
"It tastes good, but it's a bit cumbersome."
The bloated wild boar leader burped, and while picking his yellow teeth with a wooden stick while holding out his big belly full of wrinkles, he said: "By the way, I heard that the group of tellers found a path and prepared to go there." Bypassing the Iron Stone Fortress and going to the human realm to open up the meat, we naturally can’t miss this opportunity.”
"Going to the human realm at this time?"
A hint of surprise appeared on the rough face of the wild boar shaman, and he snorted and said: "But some time ago, tens of thousands of jackals died under the iron stone fortress. I am afraid that the human race has recovered from the ravage of the roots. "
"so what?"
The leader of the wild boars had contempt on his face and said disdainfully: "Don't forget that in the past three thousand years, those self-righteous guys have never really done anything to us. They only care about killing each other. Instead, they have been teased by us time and time again. , often ending up with the city destroyed and people killed.”
"But chief, there are rumors among the jackals that the human race seems to have stopped fighting among themselves. If they really unite, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to deal with."
The wild boar shaman still had hesitation on his pig face, and he said, "Why don't I wait and observe for a while before taking action."
"Is there anything to observe? In the past hundred years, the major forces of the human race have been unable to do anything to each other, but they still continue to fight against each other year after year. This is something everyone knows. Even if the war is temporarily extinguished, they are still secretly guarding against each other. , This has been the case for three thousand years, and once a force is destroyed, a new force will quickly emerge. "
The greasy pig face of the wild boar leader was full of contempt and sneer, and he burped again: "I don't believe that something that no one has been able to accomplish in three thousand years has suddenly been accomplished? It must be just those stupid people. The jackals suffered a loss, so they just found a way out. "
"What the leader said makes sense. Some time ago, we were only focused on fighting against those tenacious green monsters and missed the great opportunity to capture the Iron Stone Fortress. As the saying goes, the opportunity cannot be missed. This time, it is time for me to do a good job for the human race. Lesson learned.”
The wild boar shaman licked his fangs and said with murderous intent on his face: "And there are those guys who spit out the letter in the lead, which is the perfect time to attack!"
"Let everyone be prepared. This time we are going to come out in full force. I hope those border villages can fill our stomachs."
After saying that, the wild boar leader laughed expectantly, and beside the wild boar leader, the other strong wild boar men also looked eager to show off their skills.
At this moment, several figures exuding vast aura emerged out of thin air and appeared in front of the wild boar leader.
A rough and emotionless voice then sounded: "I'm afraid you won't have this chance."
"Human race? How did you get in?"
I saw the wild boar leader's face full of surprise, his pig's nose trembling, he couldn't believe his eyes.
The absolute defense barrier covering his leader's tent was so strong that even five fifth-level warriors could not break it at the same time. But it was broken silently at this moment? This is simply incredible.
In addition to being surprised, the boar leader's pig face immediately darkened, and a thick energy barrier emerged. He said coldly: "This is the base camp of this leader. There are many strong people around. Don't think you can leave here alive!"
Not far from the boar leader, the boar shaman was also surrounded by an energy barrier, and the dead wood staff in his hand flashed with a forest green light. As for the other boar warriors, they all sank their faces and were filled with murderous intent.
"You dare to threaten me, you really don't know whether you live or die."
At some point, a petite figure appeared behind the boar leader, and the blood-red long sword in his hand flashed a deadly trajectory and stabbed directly at the latter.
In front of the unstoppable blood-red sword, the seemingly indestructible energy barrier of the boar leader was like paper, which was broken at the touch of a finger, until his fat body was completely penetrated.
The huge body fell down with a bang, and the petite figure became clear. It was Louise with a sharp face on her fair cheeks.
The other five-level masters were the main masters under Lei Xiao, such as Tiger Stick, Erza, Nolan, and Ye Cang, who had just spoken.
When the boar leader fell, the boar shaman, who was also at the fifth level, only resisted for a moment, and was cut in half by the leader Tiger Stick, and fell crookedly.
Seeing that the two fifth-level masters were quickly killed, the other boar masters in the tent were immediately in a panic, but when they wanted to escape from the tent, they found that the tent had been covered by an indestructible imprisonment barrier.
At the door of the big tent, another slender figure had magic light shining on his fingertips. Naturally, it was Xiao Jie who was also solemn.
It was also because of Xiao Jie's move that the opponent's absolute defense barrier was quietly broken, and with the cooperation of Tiger Stick and others, more than a dozen wild boar magic tents that powered the absolute defense barrier were first wiped out.
Accompanied by desperate screams, with the close cooperation of our strong men, the other wild boar strong men in the tent soon died, making everything quiet again.
"Leave it to the soldiers here, we should return to the lord."
After reporting to Lei Xiao, Tiger Stick nodded to everyone.
Not long after Tiger Stick and others disappeared, dense arrows cut through the night, suddenly fell from the sky, and swept towards the wild boar tribe from all directions.
The sharp arrows penetrated the rough armor, and the wild boar soldiers who were caught off guard fell to the ground one after another, making the whole scene chaotic.
At the starting point of the arrows, I saw dark gold emperor battle flags fluttering in the night wind. The human army was in strict formation and had completely surrounded the entire camp.
Lei Xiao stood on the wall of Bingshi City, staring at the scene of arrows and blood interweaving under the city.
This area occupied by wild boars is the farthest range that Bingshi City can currently reach, so it is not surprising that a large army of divine soldiers descended from the sky.
As for the battle plan formulated by our side, it is actually very simple.
That is to use the mobility of Bingshi City and Jinglan City to eliminate the opponents that can be reached within the mobile range one by one, and then focus on eliminating those who cannot be reached.
In addition, in order not to attract the attention of other forces around, we adopted a silent and silent tactic, so we used arrows instead of the more destructive magic cannons.
"Lord, according to Tiger Stick, the enemy is still plotting how to attack us. If you hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid this land would have faced another bloody storm."
Cecilia stood beside Lei Xiao and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
After that, Cecilia's fair face was filled with an irrepressible excitement.
As a princess general like Caroline, Cecilia was naturally very clear about the forces entrenched around her.
The wild boars were strong and brave in battle. They had caused the Pars soldiers to suffer a lot. Once the wild boars rushed into the human world, there would be no grass left. They had a bottomless appetite and would eat everything they saw. They were a nightmare-like existence.
Since ancient times, countless monarchs and generals of Pars had also been determined to completely eliminate these hateful butchers.
But once the army goes deep into here, it will be besieged by all the surrounding barbaric forces, which is obviously far beyond the range that Pars can bear, and he will always return in defeat.
Now, with the assistance of the two divine lands of the lord, and the strength of the human army has long been different from the past, it is undoubtedly the most perfect decision to take this approach of defeating each one and then achieving the effect of dividing the strength of the barbaric forces!
Just when Cecilia was rejoicing, the tiger stick and others who came back to report had reappeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"My lord, according to your instructions, I have brought back the human corpses."
Tiger stick touched his chest and saluted, reporting to Lei Xiao.
"Well done, no matter who they are and why they appear here, this should never be the place where they sleep."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and ordered: "Send them to the human territory and settle them well, that is where they return to their roots."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Cecilia's delicate face couldn't help but show a touch of nobility.
Under the guidance of the Lord, the human race is transforming at an unprecedented speed. Those things that were once out of reach are no longer far away, including the lost dignity and these nameless skeletons. They were once placed here as trophies, and now they can finally rest in peace.
The rain of arrows is still flying in the sky one after another. Although the opponent quickly organized a large-scale counterattack after being stunned, the light of the absolute defense barrier flashed everywhere in our camp, and those hasty attacks obviously could not hurt us at all.
In addition, the opponent's command center has been destroyed by us first, making it even more difficult to exert the strength it should have.
Even so, the curses and roars in the opponent's camp are still endless, and it is obvious that they are ready to fight to the death with us.
On the chaotic battlefield, although many powerful wild boars tried to break through the siege and seek help from other forces around them, they were all intercepted by illusionists such as Xiaohuan and Xiaoya who had already deployed illusions on the surrounding roads.
As the opponent's counterattack became weaker, our front line began to advance step by step, making the encirclement tighter and shortening the distance for subsequent attacks with greater power but limited range, so as to fully deploy the attack formation.
It was not until Lei Xiao received Erza's report that a disguised illusion that was difficult for outsiders to detect had been deployed, making this giant camp still look normal from a distance, that he ordered a full-scale follow-up attack.
For a time, colorful dazzling brilliance began to shine in our camp, and dense chanting also sounded one after another, making the surrounding energy particles more active.
At this point, the true face of the subsequent attack is self-evident, it is a spell attack.
For elite magicians, although they can reach the same range as archers, the corresponding increase in spell range means a reduction in attack range, and the damage caused is naturally extremely limited.
Therefore, in order to maximize the attack, advancing the front line is undoubtedly a crucial step, especially when our side has already occupied an absolute advantage.
Not long after, countless magical lights shone in the night sky, just like a meteor sweeping towards the opponent's camp.
Lei Xiao looked down at the thousands of magical lights, and in addition to being shocked, a trace of hesitation appeared on his face.
