#2691 - Face-to-face combat
The Death Realm!?
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned solemn.
The undead managing to harness the power of the Death Realm was a terrible thing for the Holy Court, which was already teetering on the brink.
No wonder they dared to directly confront the Holy Court.
"Holy Knight Order, listen up!"
The leader of the Knight Order raised his longsword high and shouted, "Follow me! Charge!"
With the order given, the Knight Order charged towards the冥族 (Míngzú) War Knight Order beneath the city walls!
Faced with the charge, the War Knights did not move, but remained beneath the city walls, coldly watching the approaching enemy.
The next moment, the undead magic from the city walls rained down upon the center of the Holy Radiance Knight Order!
Black Nether Bombardments continuously exploded!
Instantly, the holy light on the Holy Radiance Knights flickered continuously.
Undead magic attacks focused more on stacking negative effects, dealing less direct damage, but they happened to be effective against holy shields.
The Holy Radiance Knights' charge was forcibly halted by the continuous Nether Bombardment attacks, their warhorses losing control and unable to continue charging forward.
They were stuck halfway, their speed decreasing, becoming sitting ducks for the undead magic from the city walls.
Several Holy Court Inquisitors exchanged glances, all seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Although they hadn't taken action yet, the undead's Bone Dragons and Undead Mentors hadn't appeared on the battlefield either.
Regional Archbishop Everett, with a grave expression, analyzed the strength of both sides and said in a low voice, "Inquisitor, the Death Realm mages are very strong. With our current capabilities, it will be difficult to take Dark City in a short time."
The holy light once again pierced through the dark clouds shrouding Dark City and descended upon the earth.
The Holy Domain Knight Order's reinforcements joined the battlefield.
Seeing this, the Holy Court's player team's morale greatly increased.
Huh?
Inquisitor Jory's face showed a hint of doubt.
Strange.
Why is the number of Holy Knight reinforcements descending from the Holy Domain so small this time?
The leader of the Holy Radiance Knight Order from the Holy Domain signaled his subordinates to stop, approached Regional Archbishop and Inquisitor Jory, clasped his fist and reported, "Inquisitor, Archbishop, the Holy Court has sent me to support you in capturing Dark City."
"Only you? Where are the other reinforcements? As far as I know, the Holy Domain should send more support."
The Holy Knight moved closer to Jory, lowered his voice, and continued in a low voice, "Sir, there have been some accidents. Just within the past half hour, the undead have been acting strangely in various high-level worlds, and a large number of high-level undead legions have appeared in various game worlds."
"The Holy Domain has received emergency reports from various regional worlds. All attack incidents are suspected to be related to the Death Realm army. Currently, the Holy Domain's descent channels to various high-level game worlds have been opened to their maximum limit."
Inquisitor Jory's expression changed upon hearing this.
Other regions have also been attacked by the undead legions?
"Have Bone Dragon creatures appeared in other worlds as well?"
"Yes, there is feedback that other worlds have also been attacked by Undead Bone Dragon Knights, but the Undead Mentors have not fully joined the battlefield."
Inquisitor Jory frowned tightly.
In that case, if he still wanted to forcefully attack Dark City, it might create a great risk.
"Inquisitor Jory, in my opinion, since this is where the undead first appeared, it is very likely related to the undead's attack this time."
Jory originally wanted to give up.
After all, with their current strength, without subsequent support, even if they forcibly took Dark City, they would pay a great price.
However, Regional Archbishop Everett's words made him change his mind.
"Are you saying that the attacks in other regions are all false signals released by the undead, deliberately misleading us to make wrong judgments?"
"Yes, it's very possible."
Jory once again turned his gaze to Dark City not far away.
That's right!
He had the same feeling.
If the undead's hard power was strong enough, why not concentrate their attacks?
It was very likely that their strength was insufficient, so they dispersed their combat power, attempting to disrupt their actions.
The Holy Domain, considering the overall situation, had to take remedial measures in various worlds.
If that's the case…
Jory raised the scepter in his hand high.
"Warriors of the faith of God! With me! Completely shatter the darkness!"
"Yes!"
A strong holy aura erupted from the Holy Domain Knight Order, and under the condensation of holy light, they charged towards the city!
"They're here!"
On the city walls, the players' faces were extremely solemn.
Two Undead Council Mentors also held the scepters in their hands in front of them.
"Stop them!"
A large number of undead skills rained down on the battlefield.
The Holy Court Inquisitors counteracted from the rear, and the two sides exchanged waves of spells.
The Bone Dragons also appeared in the battlefield from high altitude, continuously adopting flanking tactics.
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and just as Inquisitor Jory judged, the undead side showed signs of decline.
The damage taken by the Bone Dragons gradually increased. Once seriously injured, the Bone Dragons would withdraw from the battlefield.
Of course, they also paid a great price for this.
A large number of Holy Domain Temple Knights fell on the battlefield.
"Holy Flame!"
Several dark gold holy powers condensed into fireballs and bombarded the city walls.
"Boom!!!!!"
Along with a roar, the city walls finally couldn't hold on and were blasted with a big hole!
Damn it!
The players on the city walls suddenly felt a jump in their hearts.
It's over!
Without the protection of the city walls, their strength would be greatly reduced.
Moreover, although the Bone Dragons were not dead, they had absorbed a lot of damage and entered a half-crippled state, and could no longer join the battlefield. Moreover, being in the Black Rain World, the Bone Dragons' HP recovery speed had been at a very low level.
"Retreat!"
Hearing the shouts of the two Undead Mentors, the players were stunned for a moment, and then immediately began to retreat with the Undead Mentors.
Almost instantly, the Death Realm War Knights and Mausoleum Guards, who had just been fighting bravely, quickly retreated towards the rear, leaving a pile of undead skeletal summoning creatures as cover.
The players' minds were still buzzing.
It was a bit chaotic.
They had just looked like they were going to defend to the death.
Retreating as soon as they were told to retreat?
Never mind.
In this situation, the players didn't think much, and immediately retreated to the rear under the leadership of the Undead Mentors.
No time to think.
The more you think, the faster you die!
The Holy Court outside looked at the fallen city walls in front of them, as well as the Death Realm Undead Legion that was retreating like a tide, and their eyes also showed doubt.
What's the situation?
They retreated just like that!?
They clearly still had the ability to continue defending for a while.
Did the people of the undead camp retreat so simply?
There's a problem!
