Chapter 1374 Desperate Situation and Helplessness

Under the pale and dim moonlight, the densely packed dark magic artillery fire from below the city tore through the night sky. In the blink of an eye, we were already very close to our city wall.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

The dark energy shock wave exploded with a deafening sound, setting off a howling wind, and immediately stirred up the absolute defensive barrier of Ice and Stone City, causing the entire city to tremble.

I saw that as one after another dark shock waves exploded, countless viscous black liquids filled the air crazily. Once it came into contact with the barrier wall, thick black smoke sizzled out, which was obviously extremely corrosive. Effect.

While the enemy's artillery fire was raging crazily, despite the barrier, a pungent smell of rot and fishy smell began to permeate the city wall, making many soldiers look like they were sick and their faces became paler.

"Lord, these enemy magical artillery fires are not only extremely corrosive, but can also spread poisonous miasma. Although Ice and Stone City's absolute defensive barrier can completely block these, the pungent smell cannot be completely purified. "

A trace of solemnity and shame appeared on Shuang's fair face. She shook her head at Lei Xiao and said, "I'm sorry, Lord. With the blessing of the light attribute "wooden board", although the power of Ice Stone City's energy-gathering array has increased a lot, , but many of the damaged magic circles and enchantment subordinates still failed to be successfully repaired, and the subordinates lost too much memory, otherwise the city walls would not be filled with stench and the entire city would be shaking from such an attack. "

"Shuang, no need to apologize, this is not your fault."

Lei Xiao waved his hand to the former attendant of the god and said in a gentle voice: "I am extremely lucky that you can still stand by my side after experiencing the blank era."

After saying that, Lei Xiao's solemn eyes moved and landed on the barrier wall above his head.

Under the raging fire of the opponent's artillery, the magic luster emitted by the barrier wall was obviously dimmed. This was only the enemy's first wave of attacks.

But what is certain is that if the energy-gathering array cannot be further repaired, I am afraid that the barrier wall will no longer exist now.

Not only that, at present, the entire city has been shrouded in thick black smoke from the opponent, which has greatly affected our vision, but our attack just now had little effect on the opponent's camp.

This undoubtedly means that in just the first back-and-forth attack and defense, our overall situation is at an absolute disadvantage, and what we face is only a dozen vanguard legions from the other side.

Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered again, and he focused his attention on the surrounding soldiers.

I saw Chiduo directing the half-elves and human long archers of the Zhuyue clan to fire volleys of sacred arrows, while the magician was trying his best to replace the magic light crystals and charge the magic cannon on the city wall.

The magic cannons on the city wall are all at the third level, and the magic power consumed when firing is ten times that of the second level magic cannon.

In other words, the magic power contained in a magic light crystal can only be used to fire the third-order magic cannon once, which undoubtedly limits our firepower to a great extent. After all, the reserve of magic light crystals in Ice Stone City is only 10,000. Yu Ke, obviously a little stretched on such a huge battlefield.

As for the magician to actively charge, it requires at least a team of third-level elite magicians or a squadron of second-level magicians to work together. This is also a great challenge for us.

"Fortunately, I still have two of the most elite third-level magic legions under my command. This has greatly alleviated the shortage of magic light crystals. However, charging the magic cannon is also a very draining matter of one's own magic power. I hope You can hold on a little longer with the help of the magic potion."

Lei Xiao's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and he looked down at the city through the thick smoke.

Although I try my best to think on the bright side in my heart, it is not difficult to see from the current battlefield situation. As the opponent's follow-up legions arrive one after another, they are pouring increasingly fierce dark magic artillery fire on us. Our disadvantage. is being further enlarged.

After all, we only have two third-level magic legions, and the opponent's equivalent magic combat power combined is probably at least ten times more than ours, which can be seen from this.

I can even clearly feel that as the opponent's offensive becomes more fierce, not only the earth-shattering magic artillery fire becomes more deafening, but the morale of our soldiers is also rapidly declining.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to our side. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."

Bing Lao's wrinkled old face was full of solemnity, and he whispered to Lei Xiao: "If this situation continues, let alone blocking the opponent, I am afraid that Bingshi City will be breached by the opponent soon."

Bing Lao, who has an extremely close connection with Ice and Stone City, knows the situation of Ice and Stone City best.

Bing Lao can even clearly feel that even though all the energy-gathering arrays in Ice and Stone City are operating at the highest power, the energy that can be stored is still declining rapidly.

"I know, but like I just said, we have no way out."

Lei Xiao wiped away the sweat on his forehead, without any wavering in his eyes.

The communication subordinates deployed to the friendly forces just now have sent news one after another. After Broy, Chris, Fanny and others returned to their respective positions, the originally panic-stricken siege force was quickly stabilizing and fighting. The tauren and troll armies trying to break through became increasingly passive and almost lost the space to break out.

But I don't know what means the other party used. Even though we were covered by powerful magic firepower, the absolute defense barrier still stood firm.

In other words, although our siege force gradually stopped the decline, the opponent's combat effectiveness was not weakened. The two sides were temporarily in a stalemate where neither could do anything to the other.

This undoubtedly means that at least before our siege force broke the opponent's absolute defense barrier and eliminated the opponent's living force, Bingshi City still had to stop this army of undead, otherwise we would be defeated and there would be no chance of turning over.

By then, not only would the ancient mines be lost, but if the opponent continued to advance, not only our allies who had not yet recovered their vitality, but even the human race's territory would be completely exposed to the opponent's iron hoof, and the consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.

"So, no matter what, I have to resist the opponent, because I have nowhere to retreat."

Lei Xiao's eyes became more determined, but the sweat on his forehead kept dripping down.

Facing more than 50 third-level undead legions and such fierce magic cannon fire, even if dozens of sixth-level strongmen came out together, they would probably be annihilated in an instant. I don’t know how to deal with it.

It is no exaggeration to say that since I came, I have not encountered such a desperate situation on the battlefield.

"Holy Light Mist!"

Accompanied by Ruth's cold shout, a dazzling golden light suddenly surged out, instantly dispelling the black smoke that affected our vision, and even the stench on the city wall was swept away.

But that's all. In the golden light, although the vision is much clearer, the power of the opponent's magic cannon has not decreased at all, and it still makes the ground shake everywhere.

This is not over yet. I saw that under the city wall, there were at least 30 undead legions, trying to surround our city, and the subsequent 20 undead legions were all over the mountains and plains, and they were already close to us.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.

The enemy's firepower continued to increase, while our magic cannons, which were obviously inferior to them, became weaker and weaker, and the morale on the city wall became lower and lower.

This was no wonder. After all, even though we used the sacred and light magic cannons that restrained the enemy, we still couldn't do anything to the enemy, and our absolute defense barrier became dimmer and dimmer. The gap in strength was self-evident.

The enemy's dark magic cannons were bombarding and were quickly shattering the light of victory in the hearts of our soldiers until everything merged into the endless darkness.

On the ice and stone city wall that was as wide as a square, the breath of despair was quietly spreading.

Not only was Lei Xiao sweating, but our generals who were shouting and commanding around him also looked the same, including the light half-elves such as Ruth who were casting spells.

"Human priests and magicians, lend me your power again!"

Ruth was surrounded by golden light, and the staff in her hand pointed directly at the undead army formation under the city, and she shouted coldly: "The wrath of the glorious dragon group!"

As Ruth's voice fell, a giant golden magic circle unfolded, making the entire Ice Stone City suddenly glow with golden light.

Then, one after another, golden magic dragons with bared fangs and claws roared out of the magic circle and flew straight towards the enemy army formation under the city. Dozens of them flew out.

For a moment, the light emitted by the magic dragon group illuminated the world, making everything sparkle, and even the darkness and death under the city were weakened a lot.

Seeing this amazing scene, our soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but be refreshed and widened their eyes.

However, before our soldiers had time to rejoice, dozens of deep black death lights suddenly shot out from the enemy's army, pointing directly at our magic dragons.

As expected, the sharp black death light penetrated the huge golden body and accurately hit all the golden magic dragons.

The next second, before the dozen golden magic dragons approached the enemy, they whimpered and turned into countless golden energy particles, and were soon swallowed up by the night without a trace.

"This..."

Seeing this, our soldiers looked at each other with pale faces, and they all saw a trace of obvious panic in each other's eyes.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, this is the strongest group spell I can cast."

Ruth's delicate face was pale, and her chest wrapped in a golden robe kept rising and falling, obviously almost overdrawing her magic power.

Not only Ruth, but also many other light half-elf magicians and our priests behind her all collapsed to the ground, looking extremely weak.

"It's not your fault, it's because the opponent is too strong."

Lei Xiao nodded to Ruth, and commanded the priests to take out the potion to restore their magic power immediately.

At this time, Lei Xiao could clearly feel that after the attack was easily resolved by the opponent, the morale of our soldiers almost fell to the bottom, and many people's faces were filled with uncontrollable fear and tension.

This is no wonder, after all, the human race has just entered the outer domain not long ago, and they are facing an almost invincible and powerful opponent alone before they are used to the environment of the outer domain. It is not surprising that this situation has occurred.

"It's really a desperate situation from beginning to end."

Lei Xiao's eyes became more serious, his brain was spinning frantically, looking for a chance to win, even though he knew that the hope was extremely slim.

Unconsciously, under the dense magical firepower of the opponent, the absolute defense barrier of the Ice Stone City had quietly appeared with tiny cracks.

While Lei Xiao on the Ice Stone City wall was in a state of panic, the other friendly forces besieging the Tauren and Troll army in Wangying Canyon also looked the same.

"What on earth is going on?!"

On a towering mountain top, the dragon face of Prince Davis of Zhanyi was full of impatience. Looking at the tauren and troll army in the canyon whose absolute defense barrier was still shining, he almost roared: "The opponent's absolute defense barrier has not been broken yet?"

"Your Highness, this is indeed very strange. It stands to reason that the opponent would never have been able to hold on until now."

Nar looked at the magic artillery fire and arrows pouring into the canyon around him, and his dragon face was full of confusion: "I'm afraid the opponent has used some unknown means. Even our absolute defense barrier can hardly shake the opponent, but our barrier was easily broken!"

At this point, Nar's dragon eyes lit up and blurted out: "The last general Got it, it must be those liches who provided some kind of help to the other party! "

"I am very clear about this, but the problem is that if we don't destroy the other party, then we will be destroyed. Although the human emperor is very resourceful, the other party's reinforcements are the army of undead led by liches. Even if we use the power of our entire kingdom, we will never be the opponent of the other party's reinforcements!"

Davis's impatient dragon face has become more solemn, and he frowned and said: "But the problem is that we can't even break the absolute defense barrier of the turtle in the jar!"

Not only Prince Zhan Yi Davis, in other places in Wangying Canyon, Broy, Chris, Fanny, and Shuerte are also shouting at the top of their lungs, trying their best to command their soldiers to attack the opponents in the canyon from all directions.

However, as the attack continued, except for our generals becoming more impatient, it was obviously ineffective, and they were simply helpless against the enemy.

At the same time when our generals were at a loss and the morale of the soldiers was quietly declining, in the huge canyon filled with smoke, the Tauren and Troll camps, which were completely covered by magical artillery fire and dense arrows, were in a completely different situation.
