Chapter 1373 The True Identity of the Mysterious Opponent

"Yes, where did the other party come from?"

Beside Lei Xiao, when Ruth, Myron, his subordinates, and the accompanying human generals also saw this dense scene, they all rolled their throats and swallowed their saliva involuntarily.

Just as described in the report, the number of this unidentified mysterious enemy reinforcements is indeed extremely large, and even standing on the towering ice stone city wall, there is still no end.

At present, the other party is not far away from our city. The huge and twisted giant square formations are walking on flat ground in the complex mountains. Not only did they appear at the relatively flat entrance of the Wangying Canyon, but they were also advancing synchronously on the mountains on both sides.

In addition, the entire army did not emit a single light, which seemed weird and elusive.

What is even more surprising is that around these unidentified enemy reinforcements, there is a thick black fog, which has indeed affected our vision to a great extent, making everything shrouded in endless darkness, making it difficult to determine the identity of the enemy.

But what is certain is that from the strong manic anger and vast energy fluctuations that continue to emanate from the enemy, this is indeed an extremely dangerous force.

According to the latest report, this huge unidentified reinforcement not only made many friendly scouts go without return, but also swallowed up some of our small forces scattered on the periphery. The hostility is already obvious.

"The strange black fog exudes a breath of fear and despair. This is obviously some kind of taboo magic."

Ruth's fair face surged with a trace of hatred, and her eyebrows were tightly gathered.

Taboo magic is also a rare existence in the outer domain. Since the blank era, many forces that use taboo magic have been jointly wiped out by other forces around them and disappeared in the dust of history.

Among them, two of the forces that are most opposed to the forbidden magic are the light elves and light half-elves who are good at using sacred magic and light magic.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Ruth showed such an expression.

It is worth mentioning that although the dark elves sound obviously related to the forbidden magic, it is not the case.

The shadow magic that the dark elves are good at is no different from ordinary magic in the way of practice. It does not require blood and fear as the cornerstone of practice like most forbidden magic.

"No wonder those scouts sent out did not come back. This black fog is indeed a poisonous miasma that corrodes everything."

Myron also frowned with his gray eyebrows and echoed.

"Everyone, is there a way to break the black fog?"

Lei Xiao immediately looked at Ruth and other light half-elves and asked with frowns.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that as the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. The most urgent thing now is naturally to find out the true face of the opponent first, and then attack in a targeted manner.

As one of the main forces fighting against forbidden magic for many years, Ruth and other light half-elves are undoubtedly the most authoritative force at present.

"Your Majesty, I was ready just now."

Ruth and several other light half-elves have formed a team formation for casting spells, and their staffs emitting golden light are shining.

"Then leave it to you, let's start immediately."

Lei Xiao nodded to Ruth and took a step back.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that before obtaining the black crystal ball, Ruth and others would definitely stand on our side completely, so he was not worried about other situations.

After all, once the opponent obtains the ancient mine, the light half-elves will undoubtedly lose hope of obtaining the crystal ball.

"Revelation of the stream of light!"

After a short chant, Ruth's staff was pointed directly at the black fog square in the front, and a dazzling beam of light shot out from the top of the staff.

The next second, the dazzling beam of light intertwined with the diffuse black fog. Wherever the beam of light reached, thick black smoke immediately rose into the sky and soon dissipated, just like the blue sky after the clouds were cleared, which was obviously purified.

As the black fog dissipated, the enemy army finally revealed its true face. Lei Xiao and all of us on the city wall couldn't help but open our eyes wide.

What appeared in front of me was actually a neat army of undead.

The white skeletons emitted a strange cold light under the moonlight, and the pairs of empty eye sockets seemed to be bottomless. The broken or intact armor was draped on the body, and the various weapons held by the bone claws still emitted a brilliant brilliance.

Lei Xiao could even clearly see that in addition to the physical undead, there were also a large number of magical undead in the huge army formation. The empty eye sockets flashed cold light, and the decayed staffs in their hands flashed with a fierce magic aura.

You know, among the undead legions that Lei Xiao had met before, there had never been a skeleton mage who used spells.

After all, the magic power and energy of a necromancer are limited. It is often the limit to control physical undeads that are equal to their own strength. As for magic undeads, more magic power needs to be diverted to control them, and more energy needs to be spent on daily maintenance. It is better to control a few more skeleton archers of the same strength.

The opponent is a necromancer legion with at least three levels of members, and there are a large number of skeleton mages. It is hard to imagine how powerful a necromancer can do this.

While everyone was in shock, the dazzling beams of light cast by Ruth and other bright half-elves were still breaking through the black fog, and soon several undead legions emerged.

But in the blink of an eye, a black mist suddenly emerged like a bloody mouth, swallowing up the dazzling beam of light, causing Ruth and others on the city wall to take a step back with pale faces, obviously being manipulated by their opponents. One course.

It's no wonder that although the light spells and sacred spells of Ruth and other bright half-elves restrained the forbidden spells, before that, Ruth and her group had already consumed a lot of magic power in the ancient mine, and coupled with the opponent's formation It’s huge, so it’s no surprise that this happens.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao casually handed a few sixth-level recovery potions to Ruth and others, while commanding the soldiers to push out all our light magic cannons and sacred magic cannons.

Since the normal power of magic cannons of these two attributes is far inferior to other attributes, although they are extremely rare in the human world, the wood fairies and flower fairies both have a small number of stocks. After Lei Xiao's upgrade, they are enough to equip the entire Ice Stone City. .

Under the premise that the opponent is the undead army, the magic cannons with these two attributes will naturally be able to exert superior firepower that other magic cannons cannot replace.

During this process, although our soldiers moved extremely quickly, Lei Xiao could still clearly feel that an extremely uneasy atmosphere was quietly filling the city wall.

After all, the opponents we face are the undead legions who fear nothing. They are the power of the dead and represent death and evil. They are terrifying in themselves. How can we kill an opponent who has already died once?

Coupled with the fact that there are a large number of skeleton mages that have never been seen before, this is even more frightening, not to mention the majestic momentum exuded by the opponent, which is obviously overwhelming ours.

"No wonder the other party appears very suddenly. Necromancers often have large storage spaces. It is not impossible to store an entire undead army. As long as they are suddenly released, it will naturally be an undead army descending from the sky."

"Furthermore, the undead soldiers really don't need lights. On the contrary, they can exert more powerful power in the dark night, and it is easy to walk on flat ground in the mountains."

"But the problem is that the overall strength of these legions is too strong, which is undoubtedly far beyond the scope of ordinary necromancers. After all, the overall combat power of a third-level legion is comparable to 10 sixth-level one-star experts, or a The sixth level peak expert.”

"Calculated based on this, even if these 50 undead legions are all of the third level, they will still need at least 50 sixth level peak experts. Is there such a powerful taboo force in the outer realm?"

Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao was almost sweating like rain.

This undoubtedly means that if the operator himself is included, what we are facing is not four times the enemy's combat power, but a full eight times the enemy's combat power.

Just when our magic cannon was nervously loading the magic light crystals and charging, Ruth walked up to Lei Xiao, twisted her eyebrows tightly and said: "Your Majesty, I can be absolutely sure that those who control these undead legions will The mastermind behind the scenes is not an ordinary necromancer, but a lich clan that is better at controlling the undead! "

Before Ruth could finish her words, the manager's urgent voice also sounded: "Your Majesty the human race, I saw that the commander of the other side's legion is a lich!"

"Lich?"

After hearing the words of Ruth and the manager, Lei Xiao and the main subordinates surrounding him frowned again and took a deep breath of the biting night wind.

Lei Xiao had already heard of the term lich.

This is not a normal ethnic group, but a collection of people who have fallen into the abyss of death, full of chaos, disorder and darkness.

Before this, the Nightmare Knight he had encountered had turned part of himself into a dead spirit in order to obtain a more powerful body, but he still retained part of his normal structure.

The Lich has taken this aspect to the extreme, completely transforming itself into a dead spirit, in order to gain more powerful taboo power and no longer be bound by death.

Of course, this comes at a great price, one of which is that it will never be able to escape the fate of decay.

"It is said that after becoming a lich, the ability to control the undead will be greatly increased. Generally, the necromancers can only control the undead combat that is equal to their own strength, while the lich can often control the undead combat that exceeds their own strength several times, and regardless of Both their command ability and adaptability are superior, because they have become one with the undead."

"That way it all really makes sense."

Thinking of this in his mind, there was no trace of relaxation on Lei Xiao's face.

Although we will not face opponents with eight times the combat strength at the same time, the Lich's command ability is undoubtedly stronger and can bring out the power of the undead army to the maximum extent. Under the ebb and flow of one thing, we are facing The pressure is not much less, in fact it is more difficult.

This undoubtedly means that facing a huge number of opponents, we are still on the verge of a life-and-death crisis, and can be said to be surrounded on all sides.

"It's indeed a lich!"

Our two beast masters, Nolan and Lina, also reacted quickly and blurted out.

As the words of Nolan and Lina fell, the opponent's undead camp was already filled with vast energy fluctuations filled with murderous intent, and they were obviously ready to attack the city.

"Lord, how should we respond?"

All our subordinate generals took a step forward and said solemnly.

Although everyone was worried, as generals who had fought with Lei Xiao all the way, they had already decided to fight to the death for Lei Xiao.

"Although I don't know why the lich is involved with the tauren and trolls, since the other party is on the opposite side of us, we must make them pay the price."

Lei Xiao's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he commanded: "All magic cannons should be ready and fired immediately. Archers should also change to arrows blessed by sacred spells. Once the opponent enters the range, never hold back."

Lei Xiao clearly understood that Ice Stone City was the last hope to resist the opponent. As long as Ice Stone City stood firm, it would be difficult for the opponent to join the army of tauren and trolls.

In other words, as long as we buy enough time and stabilize the formation, our siege friendly forces will have the opportunity to annihilate the tauren and trolls.

On the other hand, if we fail to stop the opponent, once this army of undeads stabs our siege troops from behind, our front will undoubtedly fall apart in an instant, and the result is self-evident.

"At present, Bingshi City is located on a flat high ground, and behind it is the only way to enter Wangying Canyon. This is undoubtedly the best place for defense."

Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, staring at the undead army that was already close to the city.

"Your Majesty, can you gather all the powerful light and sacred magicians in the city nearby? I will guide everyone to cast the group spells of the light half-elves to the maximum extent!"

Ruth's fair face was also full of determination, and she stepped forward and said.

"No problem, I will let the Holy Light General Ju Bai cooperate with you with all his strength."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and nodded to Ju Bai who was on standby, indicating that he should act immediately.

At present, there are about five legions of holy light priests and light magicians in Bingshi City. Although most of them are at the second level, they can at least play a certain role.

Just as Ju Bai turned around, our magic cannons had already fired thousands of cannons, causing countless golden meteor-like compression spells to break through the sky and roar directly towards the undead army close to the city.

For a moment, under the entire city wall, groups of dazzling golden light burst into the sky, and the momentum was extremely shocking.

However, when the golden light gradually faded, Lei Xiao and others noticed it.

More than ten vanguard legions of the opponent have already joined forces in one place, and we have not even broken the opponent's absolute defense barrier.

In the next second, accompanied by the vast energy fluctuations filled with the breath of death, countless dark magic cannons resounded through the sky and bombarded our city directly.
