#873 - Return to the grassland
Chapter 840: Breakthrough
Alone, Allen faced the siege of over a dozen human powerhouses, but his heart showed no sign of panic. Instead, he was filled with boundless fighting spirit.
His left fist smashed away the shield and its owner that were swaying before him, and his right hand followed with a sweep, colliding three or four weapons with the Bone Cleaver, deflecting them all.
Two venomous blades struck from behind, grazing Allen's back. Allen's forward momentum didn't stop, and he thrust the heavy sword, which he hadn't retracted, straight towards a human demigod paladin in front.
Clang!
The warhammer accurately struck the tip of the heavy sword, and the hammerhead swung away uncontrollably. Although Allen's figure slowed slightly as a result, he stepped and pushed off the void once more, still stabbing firmly towards the paladin's chest.
Bang!
A human shield warrior powerhouse rushed out from the side with a shield intervention, knocking the wide-open paladin away and taking his place. Then, the shield surface transformed into a black city wall, stubbornly blocking the heavy sword's thrust.
Swish! Swish!
Various weapons stabbed towards Allen's body from the side, each aimed at Allen's vital points. It looked as if the weapons had already pierced Allen's body, but there was no real feeling of blades entering flesh.
Swish!
Allen had long since stepped on the Ripple Step and flown downwards. What remained in front of the shield warrior was just an illusion of him. By the time everyone noticed his figure, he was facing away from the ground, gripping the sword with both hands and unleashing a Heaven Split.
Black lightning rapidly covered the space where the human powerhouses were, from bottom to top. Sensing the intense threat, everyone scattered like startled birds and beasts, staying far away from the extending space of this enormous spatial rift.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Allen looked back at the ground. The enormous colossus was so conspicuous, and the wilderness warriors who were generously sacrificing themselves before it were so tragic.
Seeing that the colossus was about to charge into the wilderness warriors' formation, a trace of unbearable emotion appeared in Allen's indifferent eyes. Divine power was channeled into the Bone Cleaver's blade, and then he forcibly cast a Instant Kill, heading straight for the giant colossus's steel body below.
Out of the corner of his eye, Allen also saw the gnoll Aao Cong, who was being used as a sandbag and looked rather miserable, behind the colossus. The thrusting heavy sword slightly adjusted its angle under the command of his arm. The surging energy tore through space, heading straight for the colossus on the ground, as well as the human powerhouses behind the colossus.
The silent spatial rift easily devoured everything within the black light pillar's range. The massive and sturdy metal construct seemed to have no power to resist in the face of this rule-based spatial rift.
Having done all this, Allen didn't even have time to check the results. The dozen or so human powerhouses, like maggots on a bone, once again closed in, attacking Allen with practiced coordination.
The heavy sword, held horizontally in front of him, easily blocked several heavy arrows. Then, golden light flashed on the blade, and several waves of divine power slashes were rapidly unleashed around him as his wrist turned, momentarily delaying several human powerhouses.
Allen seized the flaw in the opponent's encirclement formation, and the Ripple Step was unleashed again, dragging out afterimages. He charged towards a sword dancer, heading for a breakthrough.
Seeing that she had become the target, the human sword dancer's expression immediately turned solemn. A field of sword shadows instantly appeared before her, while her body pulled back to create distance.
Ding ding ding!
With the dense sound of weapons clashing, the sword dancer used repeated collisions to dissipate the force of Allen's sword strikes, trying to delay Allen and buy time for her companions.
"Hmph!"
Allen spat out a syllable. A shield of ice suddenly appeared behind him, blocking the attacks of several humans. Although the ice shield quickly shattered, it bought Allen some time. Allen's right arm exerted force again, thrusting forward, while his left hand gripped the end of the sword for support. The heavy sword stabbed into the net woven from the sword dancer's two thin swords with unstoppable force.
The human sword dancer's arms were already a blur. She unleashed at least a hundred swords in a single breath, but even so, she was completely powerless against absolute power. The sword net shattered in an instant.
Just as the sword dancer retreated to escape, Allen's left hand suddenly reached back, grabbed, and threw. Several flying axes howled as they followed closely behind her figure.
At the same time, the Bone Cleaver transformed into a horizontal sweep, causing Allen's body to rotate. The sword of the storm rapidly attacked in all directions, and immediately there was a dense sound of metal impacts around him.
When the sword strike came to a stop, a bloody flower bloomed from the distant sword dancer's mouth. At the same time, the area around him was empty. The human powerhouses had all pulled away to temporarily avoid Allen's sharpness. Just as Allen's sword strike stopped, they swarmed up again.
Allen had no way of knowing the extent of the human sword dancer's injuries, but he could clearly feel that the opponent's actions and movements had slowed down a beat.
During this exchange, Allen had inflicted damage on different opponents dozens of times. Although, with the support of their companions, Allen couldn't continue to follow up and increase the opponent's injuries, as long as he continued to slowly wear them down like this, Allen was confident that he could kill these guys one by one.
Divine power gave Allen unmatched combat power, but the human powerhouses had the advantages of numbers and professional coordination.
Although a knight's individual combat strength in a small-scale powerhouse battle wasn't strong, the effect brought by his domain power was enough to give the team more fault tolerance and endurance. The blessings and negative effects from divine arts and magic casters, while strengthening their own side, could also weaken the enemy's strength.
While fighting, Allen didn't forget to use the corner of his eye to check the war on the ground. The colossus seemed to have turned back into a pile of useless metal because of his previous attack, but at the entrance of the tunnel opened behind the colossus, countless human cavalry and infantry poured into the city. Allen knew that the final result in the north of the city could not be reversed.
He just didn't know what choice Aaron and Aao Cong would make next. As this thought flashed through Allen's mind, a magic item had already appeared in his left hand. As he unleashed a Triple Wave Slash, sending three enemies flying, the magic item was thrown into the sky by him, eventually transforming into a dazzling firework, suspended in the sky above the Nuweince Royal Capital.
As the fireworks rose, the magic aura of Allen's Black Dragon Scale Armor flashed. The magic effect of the Dragon Power began to take effect in the hobgoblin's body. At the same time, the Frenzy skill was also activated under Allen's conscious control. More rage and mental power were generated, combined with the power of faith constantly emerging from the Seed of Faith in a resonant state.
"Kill!"
The heavy sword flashed with a dazzling light. Just as seven or eight human powerhouses surrounded him, Allen suddenly roared, and then a Heaven Split directly tore the firmament, placing all the visible field of vision within the Bone Cleaver's attack range.
The powerful divine power transformed into a ray of destruction that flashed past, and then deep darkness enveloped the entire space. Caught off guard, the group of human powerhouses were frightened and turned pale, quickly using their own life-saving methods to resist the power of the powerful killing move, as well as the subsequent spatial shock damage.
Before the move had stopped, Allen lunged forward, directly using his physical body to resist the remaining power of the spatial shock, and charged towards the human female sword dancer in front, who seemed agile but was now actually similar to him.
The sword dancer had just activated the magic shield on her body, blocking the power of the sword strike, and involuntarily retreated a few steps under the impact of the remaining power. Just as she reorganized her figure and prepared to launch another attack, a shadow flashed before her eyes, and then a warning sounded for no reason.
The sword dancer was also decisive. She immediately used her strongest killing move, transforming into a ghost as she moved around. A field of sword shadows drew out thin, thread-like spatial cracks, creating an invisible trap in front of her.
Ding ding ding!
Pfft!
Allen completely ignored the fine spatial cracks in front of him, and proactively threw himself into this space filled with killing intent, using his scales and powerful physical body to withstand the attack of the opponent's killing move. The heavy sword was mercilessly slashed out.
The attack speed of the thin swords was brought to the extreme, but the sword dancer's pair of watery eyes were full of despair. As the heavy sword gradually approached, even though the sword dancer tried to dissipate the enormous force on the heavy sword, the heavy sword that eventually landed in front of her was still something she couldn't withstand.
With no way to dodge, the sword dancer crossed the thin swords in front of her, and her arms, which were desperately resisting, snapped. The crossed thin swords also broke in the middle, until the Bone Cleaver's blade firmly slashed into the sword dancer's chest, and the force of impact suddenly erupted.
A ball of enchanting blood enveloped an area of four or five meters around. When Allen's body rushed out of this area, his body and face were inevitably stained with blood. The hobgoblin, the God of Slaughter, swooped down, escaping the enemy's encirclement and flying towards the wilderness powerhouses, including Yogg, several miles away.
Yogg and the others were also passively defending. The only comforting thought for the outnumbered wilderness side was that the human powerhouses they were facing didn't possess an absolute advantage.
After all, Allen alone was holding back most of the human forces. Almost all of the demigod-level powerhouses were positioned around Allen, otherwise, it would have been very difficult to deal with this overly powerful hobgoblin.
In addition, the casualties among the human powerhouses during this period of fighting allowed the wilderness powerhouses to barely hold their ground against the humans.
Just as the brilliant fireworks rose in the sky, the wilderness powerhouses received the signal and suddenly launched a wave of powerful offensives. However, they had already been at a disadvantage for a long time, and the humans seemed to be prepared, so they weren't able to find an opportunity to break through the human encirclement.
Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and flames soared. In addition, there were force field cages, gravity collapses, and other restriction-type spells that appeared from time to time, making it difficult for the powerhouses on both sides to escape, even if they wanted to.
Yogg went all out, unleashing dragon breath with an open mouth, turning it into a sky full of flames that scorched the wilderness, even distorting space itself.
As the flames rose, a thick ice wall suddenly appeared, blocking the flames. In the clash of ice and fire, two extreme attributes, patches of white, scalding mist spread around.
Spikes and vines extended from the ground towards the sky, but due to the height limitations, they posed little threat to the wilderness powerhouses. However, as the humans continued to compress their space and shrink them towards the ground, it was only a matter of time before their movement was restricted.
Relying on his powerful recovery ability as a paladin and the characteristics of divine magic, Jericho stood in front of the human powerhouses, holding back three or four of them. The other three powerhouses, led by him and Yogg, constantly roamed around, resisting and holding back the human powerhouses.
The sudden burst of power from the wilderness powerhouses failed to break through the encirclement. When their strength weakened, they had no choice but to shrink their lines of defense, with Yogg's various fire spells as the main offensive direction, continuing to maintain their current state.
"Go!"
A stern shout came from afar, followed by several energy wind blades sweeping through the human encirclement, causing chaos in the human formation.
How could Yogg and the others not seize this opportunity? The dragon breath, originally intended as a last resort, was unleashed by Yogg once again before his mental strength had fully recovered, exacerbating the chaos among the humans. Jericho took the lead, charging into the humans with his sword and shield.
Shi Lan and the other powerhouses took the opportunity to slip out of the gap. A human berserker, with a fierce look on his face, charged forward again, preparing to intercept the wilderness powerhouses, but unexpectedly, a white shockwave exploded in front of him, and a huge force wrapped in compressed air pushed everyone outward.
"Go!"
After casting a Sanctuary spell, the human formation became even more chaotic. After doing all this, Jericho immediately roared and flew outwards, without looking back.
Yogg and the others followed closely behind. Just as the humans were about to encircle them again, a figure crashed in, splitting a human who spat blood flying far away with a single sword strike. Then, with two more sword strikes, he swept away the humans in other directions, buying time for Yogg and the others to break through.
After Yogg and the others finally escaped, the human powerhouses who had been chasing Allen surrounded him again. Nearly twenty human powerhouses joined forces and simply gave up on the wilderness powerhouses who had already broken through, instead, they poured all their efforts into trying to hold Allen back.
A whirlwind rose rapidly. The Tempest Blade, with its combined offense and defense, led Allen towards the place with the highest concentration of humans. The humans, relying on their overall strength advantage, used their moves to confront this powerful hobgoblin head-on.
Clang! Clang!
Every human powerhouse who collided with the whirlwind felt an unbearable force, and the weapons in their hands almost slipped. As for magic, divine spells, and other methods, they sank into the sea of the whirlwind without a trace.
The human powerhouses, who had been squeezed out of a gap, were not discouraged. They predicted the path of the whirlwind and pounced forward again.
At this time, Allen suddenly stopped. His powerful body directly digested the huge backlash brought by the sudden stop. Then, in a sudden turn, he flew in the opposite direction from Yogg and the others.
Seeing this, a human shield warrior who was guarding the rear wanted to delay him and charged towards Allen, but he was knocked to the ground with a heavy blow.
"Damn it!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Heavy arrows and javelins whistled, but Allen ignored them. He twisted his hand back and forth, and the wide heavy sword easily protected his vitals, then he quickly fled away.
Aaron, who was leading the remaining soldiers on the ground, glanced apologetically at the wilderness warriors who were still holding on, and took the initiative to meet the attacks of two human legendary knight commanders. Using the force of the attacks, he flew towards the sky on the side of the city wall at the cost of considerable injuries.
Although the gathered wilderness warriors were prepared, there was inevitably some resentment in their eyes. Their figures were then submerged by a group of rushing human troops.
Otto had gone through the previous battle and finally managed to withdraw his troops. At this time, less than a thousand of the more than two thousand soldiers around him remained, and there was still about a magic hour left before the time he had promised to guard until dawn.
If the heavily injured gnoll commander didn't have the blessing of the domain power, allowing the vitality and stamina of his subordinates to pour into his body through the land under their feet, he might have already fainted and become a burden to the wilderness remnants.
Of course, he also had little combat power at this time. Swinging his battle axe became weak, and his figure was shaky. Fortunately, in front of their position, one legendary knight of the human legion had fallen and one was seriously injured. In a short time, the human army in this direction had a numerical advantage but lacked a decisive general.
The wilderness guards gathered around Otto exchanged glances. Just as Otto swung his battle axe again, two or three high-ranking peak guards suddenly attacked at the same time, their palms shaped like long knives and almost simultaneously striking Otto's neck, The strength that was not very violent but heavy enough made Otto's eyes black on the spot.
However, the tenacious will of a legendary powerhouse was beyond imagination. Even after such a sudden change, he did not completely faint. He turned around and glared at the guards who had betrayed him, but before he could speak, two more guards chopped down with hand knives, and Otto finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
There were still druid spellcasters who were not at ease, and they quickly cast more than a dozen sleep spells on Otto's body before they were barely relieved and stopped casting spells.
"The task of escorting the lord to evacuate is entrusted to you!! Be sure to safely send him back to the grassland!!"
The gnoll guard captain, Masha, carefully picked up the heavily injured Otto and solemnly handed him over to a team of more than a dozen companions of different races.
"Captain Masha, please rest assured, we will protect the captain back to the grassland even if we risk our lives!"
A gnome mage, when his companion took Otto and carried him on his back, solemnly made their promise.
General Otto had been fighting alongside many soldiers in these days, and had long won over the hearts of the army's soldiers.
The wilderness powerhouses fighting with the human powerhouses in the sky, and Marshal Aaron guarding the other side of the city wall, had already used their methods to escape, but General Otto still had no intention of doing so. How could the soldiers who had been with him for so long not guess what he was thinking?
His fellow soldiers had already seen through life and death in so many battles, and had already earned enough capital. Now, dying on the battlefield was also the home of a wilderness warrior.
But General Otto should not die in this alien land like them, ordinary soldiers. He should continue to live, use his talents and abilities, and cultivate and command more excellent wilderness warriors.
I believe that one day in the future, General Otto will lead the wilderness army and return to avenge the comrades who died in battle today. Isn't such a heroic thing even better??"
