Unfortunately, neither Levi's magic nor Donna's rain of arrows could always achieve such good results.
For the bloodthirsty bat wolves and werewolves, this distance of just one or two hundred meters is just a few seconds and can be crossed in an instant.
So at Levi's command, he and Sally and other magic units changed their attack methods.
He no longer wasted time on chain lightning, which took a long time to cast but had little effect, and instead cast an ice wall.
Sally used Fire Wall, while Cindy used Holy Glacier and Flame Strike.
Their instantaneous damage is not high, but like the Moonlight Wall, it lasts for a long time. If the opponent does not dodge and keeps rushing through, he will still suffer a lot of damage.
Aren't those graveyard guards well-disciplined and in good formation? Let's see if you can dodge now.
It’s true that those werewolves were really stupid. Perhaps they relied on their thick skin and fast speed, so more than one-third of them ignored these magic spells and just charged forward.
Then they all died in it.
Even though they have been strengthened to a certain extent, most of them are only level 3-4 soldiers and cannot withstand too much magic.
The graveyard guards were much more cautious. They either started to take detours in small groups or simply stayed where they were, waiting for the latest orders.
At this time, the vampires behind them also began to cast various dark and water magics in order to weaken or break their magic .
Although their average strength was not strong, they had enough numbers, hundreds of them, to quickly change the situation and allow the graveyard guards to advance smoothly again.
The only ones who were not affected at all were probably the bloodthirsty bat wolves.
After Donna shot a few arrows, they quickly broke through the layers of magic and, with a powerful impact force, crashed into the temple gate.
Following this loud noise, the entire temple seemed to shake, and the energy shield that looked like moonlight also fluctuated violently several times.
Then they opened their huge mouths and roared threateningly at the soldiers in the front.
Caught off guard, many of the wood elves and beastmen who had been full of confidence went crazy.
They either simply dropped their weapons and ran away, or simply jumped over the defenses and rushed out.
Then they were easily torn into pieces by the bloodthirsty bat wolf's huge claws and then swallowed.
Obviously, this is a supernatural fear ability, and the effect is unexpectedly strong. Even though the rune blacksmiths of the stump have exerted protective powers, it is still not enough to be completely immune to their effects.
Seeing this , Virginia's face suddenly changed. She had tried her best to overestimate the opponent's strength, but it was still not enough!
Cindy quickly threw over a beacon of courage, the wild horsemen used assistance spells, and then the winged snakes also started singing.
In the face of many skills that increase fear resistance, although the bloodthirsty bat wolves continued to roar, they finally did not cause wider chaos.
Soon, a large number of werewolves and graveyard guards came up under heavy rain of arrows and magic, and began to surround the front of the temple in an orderly manner and launched an attack together.
The bloodthirsty bat wolves used their claws and fangs together, launching a frantic attack like an angry whirlwind.
Levi and the others could imagine how swift and powerful their attack would be without the protection of magic.
Not only do they have high attack power, but they also have an excellent frequency of attacks, which is really unfortunate for their enemies.
For a moment, the temple's protection was like a soap bubble in the wind, constantly changing shape.
Levi resisted the urge to hold his forehead. Now it seemed that this protective magic of the temple had a certain degree of defense and health. Before being broken, his own attacks could fly out freely, but the enemy's attacks could not come in.
But at the same time, it is also the stupidest kind of large-scale war.
Because once it is completely broken, it will be basically useless and is far inferior to the Fiery Barrier.
But there was no way, and there was no better choice now. He could only try his best and use repulsive magic such as the Star of Avandor, or magic with stronger restrictive ability such as black tentacles and spider web magic, to buy time for Donna and the others.
Cindy mainly used the Holy Glacier. Before the first one was smashed, she had already stood up the second one. She was trying her best to divide and restrict the opponent.
Sally led the blood elves and switched to mainly using fireball.
After many battles, the blood elf mages who came to her for help almost all advanced to level 4 and mastered this magic.
Release multiple fireballs at the same time, and it can still have a knockback effect on ordinary werewolves or graveyard guards.
The spell breakers kept throwing their blades, while the sword dancers used their dancing swords and cast the fastest magic missiles.
The Winged Serpent Thorns began to roam the entire battlefield, constantly displaying the unique abilities of various bards.
Elegy, Alduin and others are guarding the front of the gate. Once the protective shield is broken, they will face the powerful enemy head-on.
There is no way, because the temple is mainly composed of mages, followed by shooters, and there are simply few serious warriors.
Levi even directly summoned the bear-headed gods and asked them to use monster immobilization skills specifically on the bloodthirsty bat wolves. Now is not the time to save money.
You know what, this does have some effect.
Even because of the difference in strength, except for Bill, the success rate of other bear-headed gods is only a little over 20%.
Even if they succeeded, they could only cause the opponent to pause for less than half a second each time, but their numbers were still there.
If they concentrated on dealing with a few bloodthirsty bat wolves, they would make them twitching constantly like robots that were out of power and unable to form complete movements.
But their huge size could block many of the werewolves and graveyard guards behind them, giving Donna and the others more time to snipe.
With the cooperation of the priests led by Virginia, they were finally able to control the damage to the protective shield within a certain range.
The only thing to worry about is that this move of the bear-headed gods consumes a lot of magic.
Even if Levi had specially prepared a large amount of magic potions and now had the magic enhancement of the temple, he might not be able to last a minute with such frequent casting.
But before they could weaken, something happened on the other side.
When they focused their main attention on the bloodthirsty bat wolves, they naturally had no time to worry about attacks from other directions.
In less than a few dozen seconds, hundreds of graveyard guards had surrounded the temple, encircling most of it, and at once, broadswords, spears, and heavy halberds were wielded.
Although their average attack power is much lower than that of the bloodthirsty bat wolves, it cannot be completely ignored by the protective shield. Moreover, they are numerous and powerful, and their overall damage may not be lower than that of the bloodthirsty bat wolves.
The protective shield flickered a few times at first, as if it could hold up, but soon its color quickly dimmed, and it was obvious that it had consumed a lot of energy.
Then even the shape changed dramatically, and often when the opponent fired a shot, a huge dent would appear.
Levi suddenly felt something was wrong. This thing looked like it might break at any time!
Elegy clenched her weapon excitedly, ready to face the battle that might come at any time. She was a little bored just watching Donna and Cindy killing the enemies, so she just happened to find a bloodthirsty bat wolf to fight.
At this time, the female vampire hiding in the dark seemed to have realized this. With a whistle, hundreds of vampires no longer assisted the grave guards in front of them. They took off into the air and joined the siege together.
Since they can fly, they can attack more parts of the shield at once, causing greater damage.
Seeing this scene, Levi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Donna and other archers are upstairs, using various windows as temporary shooting holes. If the energy shield is directly broken, they will face the invasion of vampires immediately.
Therefore, the top priority now is to eliminate this threat.
"Cindy, Xiaotian!"
"Okay!"
"Yes, sir!"
Needless to say, based on the long-standing tacit understanding, Cindy responded crisply, and then she took off with the angels, starting with a series of large-scale mind explosions.
Strictly speaking, even based on her extremely high attributes, the damage of this skill is basically equivalent to ordinary 1-2 level magic.
But what she and Levi valued about this skill was never its damage, but its controllability, large range, and knockback effect!
Caught off guard, a large number of vampires were forced back a certain distance as if they were hit by a fly swatter, and were temporarily unable to continue attacking the energy shield.
At the same time, Xiaotian also flew out of the protective shield with griffins, giant eagles, winged leopards, and a large number of legionary sub-aircraft and barani angels.
The best way to deal with it, naturally, is to attack instead of defend and turn passivity into initiative!
The vampires naturally launched a counterattack immediately, and the battle in the air instantly became intense.
However, in terms of high-end combat power, vampires are still somewhat inferior.
Not only were they unable to resist Cindy and the angels, they were also unable to match the griffins and winged leopards. At best they could barely draw with the giant eagles, or bully the legion's archons.
This made the female vampire hiding in the dark feel a little frightened.
If she had shown up at the beginning of the war and the other side was willing to pay the price, she might have been successfully decapitated.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at another male vampire a few meters behind her.
"Aru, I'll leave it to you to command from now on."
Although he is a male vampire, he is still quite intelligent, but his bloodline is too mixed.
When she picked him up, not only did he not know which clan he belonged to, but even his name sounded like the lowest of human peasants.
He had no manners at all and had never used any honorific titles for himself.
However, his strength and command ability were retained to a certain extent , so she could use him reluctantly because she would never have to worry about him rebelling against her.
Apart from herself, there would be no other female vampire in the entire Lamia family who would tolerate him, let alone use him.
The thin and tall vampire whose face could not be seen clearly replied woodenly, "Yes."
The female vampire didn't care. She was already used to the other party's attitude.
And to be honest, she didn't take this battle seriously from the beginning.
You know, they were originally going to the filth pit to participate in the big events there.
Unexpectedly, he was forced to be assigned a mission halfway and ran to attack Su Lun's temple.
On the surface, it was to restore the honor of the Lamia family, but in reality, whether she won or lost, it would not be of much benefit to her.
She might even miss out on the next big thing that will happen in the filthy pit. How could she be willing to accept that?
Let Aru take command. It would be great if he wins, but it doesn't matter if he loses. Anyway, not many of these troops belong to her. She just needs to save her own life!
Levi was not clear about what happened to the vampires, but there was one thing he saw very clearly.
That is, the undead no longer dodged the wall of fire or the wall of moonlight, etc. They began to ignore all obstacles on the road and just charged straight towards the direction of the temple.
As a result, their casualties increased greatly, and there were even many Tomb Raiders warriors who simply fell down halfway because they were hit by multiple spells in succession. However, their offensive did become much more fierce.
So after barely holding on for another half a minute, the protective shield finally couldn't hold on any longer.
With a crisp "bo" sound, it burst like a soap bubble.
No one knew how many years the temple had accumulated energy to create such a huge energy shield, but it was easily shattered by the undead just a few minutes after the battle began.
For a moment, Virginia and the temple's priests looked increasingly unhappy, not only because the things they were so proud of turned out to be so vulnerable when they faced a powerful enemy.
Moreover, without their protection, God knows how many lives they will have to sacrifice before they can stop the remaining seven or eight bloodthirsty bat wolves!
The only thing to be thankful for was that they set up two sets of magic circles, one for protection and one for enhancing magic units. This resulted in that even though the energy shield was broken, magic units such as priests and druids still enjoyed many bonuses.
Accompanied by a series of excited roars, except for a few that were still targeted by the bear-headed gods, the other bloodthirsty bat wolves used their claws and fangs to frantically attack the gate and walls of the temple.
Even after being strengthened by special magic, they were still breached in the blink of an eye. Several bloodthirsty bat wolves directly broke through the wall and rushed into the temple.
At the same time, a series of "bang bang" sounds were heard around. Those were the sounds of a large number of windows being smashed. The undead could immediately launch an attack from dozens of different angles.
At the critical moment, Wange gave a delicate cry and rushed forward first. She was fully empowered and well-equipped, and she had no fear of the bloodthirsty bat wolf.
Alduin next to him also roared, transformed into a half-dragon, and rushed forward with his dragon warriors.
Then many Silver Guards, as well as the beastmen and wood elves belonging to the temple, also rushed forward.
Then in the next moment, at least dozens of people were knocked or slapped away by the bloodthirsty bat wolves.
Some of them even turned into corpses while still in mid-air, and the brutality and power of the bloodthirsty bat wolves were revealed for a moment.
Although everyone was trying their best to resist, except for the bloodthirsty bat wolves, many enemies did not care about casualties at all, and did not even seek to kill the enemy. They just kept trying to break through their own blockade.
In this situation, our side was unable to quickly eliminate all the adjacent enemies, so within two minutes, a large number of enemies began to break into the temple.
Levi and other legal units were no longer safe, and they had no choice but to retreat.
But in this way, as the battle gradually turned into an indoor battle, they could no longer cast area-type offensive magic. Instead, they used various auxiliary, restrictive, or single-target small magic.
Levi mainly restricts the bloodthirsty bat wolves.
Elegy and Alduin are both fine, they are strong enough, so even if they can't kill the opponent quickly, it is not difficult to stop the opponent with the assistance of units such as priests.
But the same cannot be said for others, especially those guys affiliated with the temple. They were in danger all around and were in a very embarrassing situation for a moment.
Based on Levi's current experience, many temples do not seem to be particularly professional in the management and command of the military. They place more emphasis on individual or small-team combat.
In battle, they will try their best to avoid getting hurt, mainly dodging, which is usually more beneficial for them to go out for adventures.
However, when faced with such a large-scale battle from which there is no room for retreat, the infantry on the front line are often required to cooperate with each other and hold out against the enemy's charge. Even at the cost of their lives, they cannot retreat even a single step.
They will immediately become very uncomfortable, and if their strength is not strong enough at the same time, they will easily suffer heavy casualties.
For example, now, not to mention that the bloodthirsty bat wolves can kill one person with one claw, each attack they launch can cause over double-digit damage.
If their minions attack together, or if there is a werewolf or graveyard guards nearby to make up for it, the temple defenders will definitely suffer casualties.
The situation of the Silver Guards was slightly better, but only slightly, because the damage caused by the bloodthirsty bat wolves was too high, so high that ordinary priests could not save them at all.
Levi also frowned. This scene was so similar to the one in the Temple of Lilith.
I didn't expect that after many days, my strength had increased countless times, but the same thing happened again.
Fortunately, at the beginning his life and death were not in the hands of fate and he could only rely on possible external assistance. But now, if the war is really going badly, he can leave calmly.
Of course, things only seem a little bad temporarily, but in fact their chances of winning are still very great.
After killing these bloodthirsty bat wolves and Cindy dealing with those annoying vampires, it will be their turn to fight back, and perhaps they will not even need the reinforcements from the wood elves at all.
After a series of iron restraints, temporarily trapping a bloodthirsty bat wolf, Levi used the sixth-level magic - dissociation.
He was lucky this time. With a flash of green light, one of the bloodthirsty bat wolf's thick forelimbs turned into ashes.
Unable to maintain its balance at all, it fell headfirst to the ground, causing the surrounding ground to shake.
Then a blood-red number appeared above its head: "-380!"
Levi was also cheered up. Unless the instant death effect of Finger of Death took effect, this number was almost the highest damage he could inflict at the moment.
In other words, it has thick skin and flesh, and its health points are definitely over a thousand, so it can withstand it. If it were any of his subordinates, they would definitely not be able to withstand such high damage.
Of course, even if they were hit by the enemy's disintegration technique and it took effect, even if one of their arms was destroyed on the spot, they would definitely not lose so much life.
Limb-destroying damage is based on the target's maximum health.
At this time, several dragon warriors around rushed over and started beating him violently.
Even though the bloodthirsty bat wolf still behaved very ferociously, it was temporarily unable to adapt to the balance after losing its limbs, and its counterattack was relatively weak.
After another quick glance around, Levi discovered that although his side seemed to be under pressure, especially with Virginia and her men suffering heavy casualties, the war was actually still within an acceptable range.
The enemy has merely entered the temple, but it is still a long way from truly conquering the place.
So he simply turned his target to another bloodthirsty bat wolf, and then repeated the same trick, trying to separate one of the opponent's limbs first, and then slowly deal with it.
It's not that he doesn't want to be fast, it's just that in addition to their high attack, thick health, and quite high defense, they are also born with hunger skills.
This can basically be understood as a higher level of bloodsucking.
Ordinary vampires need to drink blood themselves to restore their own lives. This often happens when the gap in strength between the two sides is extremely large, or when the opponent has been subdued.
Or they can use the 3rd-tier magic Vampire Touch to achieve a similar effect through a contact attack.
However, the hunger of a few high-level vampires and bloodthirsty bat wolves means that as long as there is blood splattered around them, they can draw special power from it, thereby continuously restoring their own life and strength.
Higher-level vampires, such as Dracula, may have the ability to regenerate.
As the name suggests, they will continue to regenerate health unless they are killed instantly.
Even if they are killed, they can often be resurrected through some special rituals.
Although vampires clearly have no souls, they can still have complete consciousness after being resurrected. This is something that Lilith and the gods of death of the major pantheons have not yet fully understood.
It can only be said that although Nagash committed many evil things, he is worthy of being one of the strongest wizards in human history. He shook the foundation of the entire Egyptian pantheon with his own strength. His talent and power are unquestionable.
Thinking of this, Levi's dissociation technique took effect again, causing another bloodthirsty bat wolf to lose its left leg. The surrounding friendly forces immediately rushed forward, causing it to follow in the footsteps of its companion.
Levi couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction upon seeing this. On average, he would succeed once every three times and directly defeat a powerful enemy. It seemed that it wouldn't take long to kill all the enemies.
Although the bloodthirsty bat wolf is very powerful, it is ultimately a monster that relies solely on its flesh and brute force. It is still powerless against high-level magic.
Unfortunately, in such a chaotic situation, Levi didn't dare to use the Finger of Death, because this magic was not directional. If it was blocked by a graveyard guard in the middle, it would be a huge loss.
Or if a friendly soldier happened to be knocked away at this moment, he would be the one who hit the friendly soldier hard.
In fact, Disintegration has similar drawbacks, but it is a 6th-level magic with a shorter casting time, and the difficulty of regenerating severed limbs and resurrecting the dead is somewhat different.
In any case, thanks to the efforts of Elegy, Alduin, Levi and others, the threat of the bloodthirsty bat wolves was finally brought under control to a certain extent.
As Levi's magic continued to succeed and bloodthirsty bat wolves lost their limbs one after another and fell into siege, the pressure on the temple defenders was somewhat relieved.
Without the fierce attack of the bloodthirsty bat wolves, although the other graveyard guards were also quite powerful and their numbers were several times theirs, they were still within their reach for the time being.
Levi was slightly relieved when he saw this. Although the dissociation technique was powerful, it required him to be precise and swift enough every time he performed it, otherwise he might accidentally injure friendly forces.
In addition, he had to constantly summon creatures to fill the gaps in the battle formation and always pay attention to the weak points in the defense line so that he could mobilize troops back and forth for reinforcements. He also had to monitor Yakong and communicate constantly with Donna, Cindy, and even Luna, so the mental pressure on him was still quite great.
Fortunately, the divinity of Goddess Lilith gave him a special effect of being full of energy. Even in such a complicated situation, he did not feel tired at all.
At the same time, good news came from Cindy. She had gained an overwhelming advantage in the battle with the enemy air force. If no new enemies appeared, she would be able to wipe out the enemy in 5 minutes at most.
But the news from Donna made Levi a little confused.
Because she was high above, she could see very clearly that the vampires' attack seemed to be continuous like a tide, but in fact, there seemed to be a certain gap between each wave of attack, which gave the defenders in the temple a chance to catch their breath.
And up to now, except for the vampires being beaten by Cindy, it seems that no enemy has tried to attack them.
Even if ordinary undead don’t have any ranged troops, what about the opponent’s hero units?
And what about those human crossbowmen and musketeers we saw before? Could it be that they really didn't bring any of them?
It is precisely because of this suspicion that he has not let Luna and others go out until now, but just let them continue to lurk in the forest, waiting for new opportunities.
Maybe the other party has prepared a trap and is waiting for Luna and the others to step into it, so it is better not to be careless.
At this moment, Lucia behind him suddenly said, "Levi, I feel something strange..."
Looking at the other person's slightly confused eyes, Levi was also a little surprised.
In order to take revenge on Dracula, she had long ago honed her tough heart. He had never seen this expression on her face, not to mention that they were now on a tense battlefield.
He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Have you detected the vampires of the 13 families, or Dracula?"
Perhaps because they all have some of the same blood in their bodies, when the vampires from the 13 families get within a certain distance of her, she will have a vague special feeling.
After collecting 11 family rings in total, in addition to slightly improving her attributes in all aspects, this kind of sensitivity has also been greatly enhanced.
That's why she was able to find the target more accurately every time and launch targeted attacks in the first place.
"No, it's not Dracula," Lucia shook her head slightly, "but it's much stronger than the 13 families' induction."
Levi was suddenly more and more surprised, but in a flash, he immediately had a very bold guess: "You are not suspecting Dracula..."
Lucia bit her lip and said, "Yes, I suspect he has created new offspring."
They are offspring, not descendants. For vampires, the two are completely different.
The descendants only need Dracula to take a bite, give the other party a drop of blood, and then use a transformation ritual.
But Dracula's true descendant has always been Lucia.
So you can imagine how complicated Lucia’s mood is now.
Levi couldn't help but become a little cautious. If Dracula really succeeded in giving birth to new offspring, or if he simply found a way to mass-produce offspring, then Lucia's importance to him would be greatly reduced.
The danger she faces will increase dramatically.
In the past, Dracula tolerated her even after she had done so much destruction and killed so many people because she was unique and special.
But that may not be the case now.
Or even if he didn't deal with her personally, after losing his secret protection, there would definitely be a lot of vampires coming to attack Lucia.
He never forgot that the 13 families were just toys created by Dracula, and he originally wanted to use them as believers to carry out his plan of deification.
But his real foundation is the much more powerful Eclipse Alliance.
But the details now are just his guess. He has to defeat the enemy in front of him first, and then take Lucia to verify it personally!
