Chapter 1379: Unstoppable and Unexpected
The fierce and unusual sound of weapons colliding still echoed on the battlefield, and the energy fluctuations from all over the place were like a sudden rain, and the momentum was comparable to the simultaneous firing of magic cannons, which could be said to shake the world.
Unlike the first and second level human soldiers, the death battle of the stronger third level and above soldiers was undoubtedly much more intense.
The competition was mainly about their own use of energy and the attack skills they mastered. The former could make the soldiers fight more persistently, while the latter could exert more powerful damage.
Under the collision of thousands of decent energies, it was not surprising that such an extremely fierce battle situation occurred.
Of course, no matter which one, the battle formation formed by the soldiers was indispensable. The huge battle formation at the legion level could make the soldiers unstoppable in the initial frontal battlefield and exert far more power than themselves.
If the battlefield enters a white-hot melee situation, the test will naturally be the small-scale team battle formation. Whether it is a squad or a squadron, as long as the coordination is proper, the soldiers will be able to exert a stronger combat effectiveness.
It is obvious that in most cases where the strength difference is not big, the neat and uniform legion-level battle formation can undoubtedly crush the scattered team-level battle formation. This is the consensus of almost all generals of the Ten Thousand Races.
At present, the dark elves who have defeated several undead legions and are in a melee are obviously using a team battle formation. Only the magic force in the rear where Lei Xiao is still maintaining a relatively complete formation.
The undead forces led by the scarred lich, who have not yet come into direct contact with us and even the defensive barrier has not been broken, naturally use the legion-level battle formation, which is also the confidence of the scarred lich.
As for the other undead who are still struggling on the battlefield, the scarred lich does not take them seriously at all, otherwise he would not have launched such a dense long-range attack just now.
"With such a complete battle formation, it's easy to sweep away these rabble!"
The scarred lich's shriveled face showed a more grim smile, and he began to command the Skeleton Mage Corps to add various buff spells to the undead legions under his command.
For a moment, various magical lights such as black, blood, and gray began to appear in the undead army one after another.
The heavy-armored skeletons in the front, the light-armored skeleton infantry and skeleton archers in the back, and even the skeleton knights on both sides, all flashed with dark light, and the empty eye sockets on the skulls that were either covered with cracks or wearing helmets were more and more violent.
Especially the heavy-armored skeletons in the front, most of them were nearly three meters tall, with extremely thick white skeletons, obviously transformed by some kind of force that was very good at close combat.
Moreover, the strength of all the heavy-armored skeletons is above level 4, and there are even many level 5 warriors. They are so dense that it is difficult to see the end at a glance, especially the heavy shield in one hand and the heavy hammer in the other, swaying and uniform, the momentum is extremely amazing.
And from the momentum of a single heavy-armored skeleton, it is enough to compete with those dark elf miners.
"The night is the world of us undead. I want to see how you can break my undead army!"
The scarred lich's face is full of murderous and ferocious, and the undead who commanded the dark elves are already close to the battlefield!
On the other side of the battlefield, Lei Xiao obviously noticed the opponent's intention at the first time and frowned tightly.
The dark elf force led by himself and Lianna is composed of only three level 4 legions, and the overall combat power does not have much advantage.
In addition, the undead army is very good at fighting at night, and can even get a considerable degree of strength bonus. In this case, once the opponent presses forward with a legion-level battle formation, we obviously cannot gain any advantage.
As the saying goes, delay leads to changes. Once our attack is blocked and loses the effect of attacking by surprise, the battle will fall into a stalemate, or even be killed by the opponent. Then other opponents who react will undoubtedly have more room for operation. At that time, the situation that has just been won back may take a sharp turn for the worse again.
After all, although we were unstoppable just now, some dark elves were still smashed like golem puppets. These dark elves are entities condensed by energy and will also be attacked. They are not invincible.
"Don't worry, sir. They are no match. Don't give up. We are dark elves. We have advantages in the dark night, not just these skeletons."
Lianna's fair and heroic face showed a relaxed look. She nodded to Lei Xiao woodenly, then raised her staff, obviously giving orders through her mind.
After receiving Lianna's instructions, the battlefield changed immediately.
The dark elf miners began to move forward in large numbers, directly facing the opponent's neat and uniform army formation, while the miners of other affiliated tribes began to retreat and clean up the remaining undead around.
"You dare to meet us, you really don't know how to live or die!"
The scarred lich began to laugh wildly with a grim face. The heavily armored skeletons at the front of the army raised their heavy hammers high, easily crossed the barrier wall, and slammed into the dark elves who came to meet them.
However, due to the barrier of the opponent's absolute defense barrier, the attacks of the dark elves were completely ineffective and they were clearly at an absolute disadvantage.
Just as the giant hammers that raised deadly winds were about to smash thousands of dark elves, something unexpected happened.
Under the deep moonlit night, all the dark elf miners on the battlefield flashed and disappeared from the spot, as if they had never appeared, causing the attacks of countless giant hammers to miss and have no effect.
This sudden scene not only made the heavy-armored undead who lost their attack targets stagnate, but even Lei Xiao on the other side of the battlefield opened his eyes involuntarily.
After being stunned for a moment, Lei Xiao finally reacted, with a look of sudden enlightenment. The dark elves did not use illusions or teleportation, but disappeared instantly.
As for how they did it, Lei Xiao had actually seen Theresa perform it a long time ago, that is, escaping into the shadows and wandering in the gap between the real space and the void space!
"But as far as I know, even among the dark elves, only a small number of shadow mages and shadow assassination masters who have mastered the corresponding skills can do this. For example, Erza, who is an illusionist, cannot escape into the shadows. Why can all these ordinary dark elf miners do this?"
"In any case, the dark elves obviously avoided the opponent's fatal attack!"
While he was puzzled, Lei Xiao's face was filled with excitement again.
"Sir, you seem a little confused."
Lianna turned her head stiffly, obviously aware of Lei Xiao's confusion, and explained: "This is the power that comes with our blood. Everyone can do it."
"So that's the case. It seems that compared with the ancient dark elves, the dark elves who survived the blank era have even lost some of the power in their blood."
Lei Xiao heard the voice and nodded thoughtfully.
"Did all these dark elves of unknown origin escape into the shadows? How is this possible? I have never heard of ordinary dark elves being able to do this! What's more, they are holding mining drafts and shovels!"
In the mighty army of undead, the Scar Lich's hideous and horrible face was also full of surprise, and the monstrous murderous intent that was just as powerful as a rainbow immediately dissipated for the most part.
But before the Scar Lich could react, the absolute defense barrier covered by his undead army suddenly began to roar and tremble violently, obviously under a strong attack.
In addition to being surprised, the Scar Lich's empty eye sockets flashing with scarlet light moved, and suddenly looked around. He did not see any attackers, but the intensity of the attack on the barrier was getting more and more intense, and even cracks began to appear faintly.
At this time, the Scar Lich's face was filled with murderous intent, and a trace of obvious panic began to emerge.
Because he soon realized the source of the attack, that is, the dark elves who had escaped into the shadows were attacking in the gap between the spaces, and they were attacking the weakest part of the absolute defense barrier! This is the part that any ordinary attack could never reach!
Crash.
The crisp sound of breaking soon sounded, and the entire absolute defense barrier had already collapsed and dissipated in the deep night sky.
Before the scarred lich with a surprised face could react, groups of dark elf miners appeared again out of thin air.
This time, they did not return to their original positions, but appeared directly in the camp of the most vulnerable skeleton mage and archer group of the undead army!
Thousands of mining drafts and shovels were waving wildly, and the biting gale was stirred up.
Under the dark elf miners' sweeping offensive, the thin skeleton mages and archers soon fell apart in pieces, with broken skulls, broken ribs, bone slag and bone fragments flying everywhere, and the whole battlefield was in a mess.
The fallen skeletons creaked under the leather boots, and the dark elf miners' offensive became more and more fierce, and soon they attacked the area where the scarred lich was.
Seeing that his most precious skeleton mages suffered heavy losses in the blink of an eye, the scarred lich roared, commanding the undead infantry to come back for support, preparing to exchange one for one at the limit, and commanding the undead knights on both sides to attack the dark elf magician group where Lei Xiao was.
The sound of the undead horses' hooves shook the world, and the bone spears flashed a cold light under the moon. The two battalions of undead knights were also at the fourth level. The momentum of the charge was overwhelming and shocking.
Facing the opponent who was surging like a landslide and tsunami, Lianna and the dark elf magician group were obviously well prepared. As they waved their staffs, one after another dark gravity storms swept out and headed straight for the opponent.
The moment they came into contact with the gravity storm, the high-speed moving Death Knights seemed to have lost their direction, falling all over the place, and some were even swept into the air.
After the Death Knights in the front row suddenly stopped, the Death Knights in the back row were caught off guard and directly crashed into them. For a moment, a large number of Death Knights were thrown off the skeleton horses, and then they were crushed by the Death Knights who came later.
"Asshole, don't think you can defeat us like this!"
After the attack failed, seeing that the dark elves were about to attack, the scarred lich, who knew that the situation was over, was furious and had to command his Death Knights to retreat in an attempt to attract us to continue the attack.
The scarred lich clearly understood that it was the undead flank that was being attacked, and he was coming to the rescue from the front army, which meant that there was a larger undead rear army that had not yet joined the battlefield.
As long as the dark elves pursued the victory, when the undead rear army came to the rescue, they would inevitably be attacked from both sides and be surrounded by the undead army.
By then, no matter how powerful these dark elves were, they would not be able to escape the fate of destruction!
Even though these shabby dark elves could escape into the shadows, it was well known that escaping into the shadows could not be continuous, and this was something everyone knew!
Taking advantage of the gap when the dark elves could not escape into the shadows, it was not difficult to wipe them out completely!
Thinking of this in his heart, the scarred lich's dry face was once again covered with hideousness and madness, and he began to laugh sinisterly.
Just as he thought, the dark elves did not give up their unstoppable momentum and immediately began to chase the undead who were fleeing in panic.
In the deep darkness, a larger force of undead was coming from behind quietly and quickly. It was the undead rear army that Scar Lich had been thinking about!
"These dark elves are doomed!"
Seeing the undead rear army appear from behind the unprepared dark elves, Scar Lich almost laughed out loud, feeling very happy.
But before he could feel happy for a second, something strange happened again.
The undead rear army that came to help suddenly shouted and killed, and it became more and more intense. It was obviously attacked by something they had not expected.
After being attacked suddenly, the undead rear army that was originally preparing to encircle our dark elves had to turn around and start dealing with the threat from behind them.
"How could this happen? Where did this power come from?!"
Seeing this, the smile on Scar Lich's face froze instantly, and he immediately felt hopeless.
He never thought that there was a force hiding behind the rear of the Undead Army, quietly waiting for an opportunity to stab him in the back!
Just when the Scar Lich was stunned, under the attack of our dark elves, the Undead Army under his command almost collapsed completely. There was no strict legion battle formation at the beginning. It had been beaten to pieces in the process of retreat, and only futile resistance was left.
Behind the Scar Lich, a tall figure quietly emerged. It was Lei Xiao with a long sword and a staff in his hand.
"Lich, it's time to completely defeat you."
