Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 208 A Crucial Battle
Wu Ma had just successfully evolved into a level nine upper intermediate knight of destruction, and was still in the nascent stage. In terms of strength alone, he would never be the opponent of a six-winged war angel of at least level ten lower. He was at a disadvantage in terms of speed, close combat skills, and other aspects. Even the enhanced defensive effect of the attached earth attribute physique was not much better than that of the war angel with the added light armor. But there was one thing that the war angel could not match, and that was strength. The powerful earth power and the heavy long-handled battle axe overwhelmed the war angel of light attribute, both in itself and in its weapons. Unprepared for the first fight, the gravity field attached to "Go Forward" forced the war angel to fight Wu Ma head-on, and suffered a disadvantage in strength. In addition, the attack effect attached to the skill made even a strong war angel unable to withstand Wu Ma's first three axes. Although they were blocked by the light gun in time and did not hit the body, the injury was not serious, but it was shaken back again and again. It was the first time since the start of the war that it ended up in such an embarrassing situation.
After three attacks, the War Angel gradually adapted to Wu Ma's attack method. He finally stabilized his position, fought Wu Ma with attack, took advantage of the situation to dodge and retreat, got rid of Wu Ma's entanglement, and halfway through the retreat, he tilted his head and glared at Wu Ma fiercely, with murderous eyes and anger, wanting to kill it as soon as possible. He was almost retreating, but he still turned his head away, did not come back, and fought back against Wu Ma, avoiding me who was closely guarded by Khufu, and rushed to Tianxing, whose defense was the weakest, and chose to kill the undead wizard first.
Our biggest disadvantage is that we are not as flexible as the other side, and we have no way to play the advantage of numbers. Unlike the combination of the Knights of Light and the Priests of Light, the walking Priests of Light must be assigned some of their forces for protection, which makes it easier for us to take advantage of them. The Battle Angels and Cherubim can both fly and are very powerful. We are currently relying on the land forces as the main force, and the air force is not enough, so there is no way to completely trap them. Although the troops are now divided into two places, they can be separated or combined. Both sides have the ability to move freely, and can choose to quickly meet at any time to fight the enemy together according to the development of the war. Unless we can gain an advantage in one of the battlefields, it is difficult to find a good opportunity to attack through simple manpower mobilization.
The two cherubim relied on the twelve layers of defensive light walls of the Holy Light, plus their own powerful magic attack capabilities, and their defense was quite tight, so it was difficult to force a breakthrough. Long Xing Tianxia called Mandela back to help us challenge the two war angels and try to break the deadlock on them. The five land knights were still scattered around the Holy Light, attacking the defensive light walls while trying to avoid being hurt, keeping pressure on the cherubim and pinning them down so that they could not support the war angels in another place.
"Demon Possession", "Blood Bat Transformation", after completing the second "Summoning of the Dead", facing the two war angels interspersed and switched positions, and the attacks from east to west, which were difficult to guard against, Qiu Shui Changtian and the other three were forced to use their best escape skills, trying their best to dodge the attacks again and again. Voldemort, who was responsible for protecting them, was not strong enough and did not dare to show up to face the war angels head-on. He could only hide beside them. When they were attacked, they suddenly drilled out of the ground, blocked them with their bodies, and used "Hand in Hand Swimming" to counterattack. After suffering a loss, the war angels were prepared, and would suddenly change their positions when they were about to rush to the target of attack, and attack from other directions. After all, their speed was faster than Voldemort, so they could effectively avoid Voldemort's interception and pose a threat to the undead wizards behind them.
My situation was slightly better. With Khufu guarding me, unless the two war angels attacked me together, or chased me continuously, I could deal with it with my dodge skills alone, without wasting my mental and physical strength to perform "Blood Bat Transformation". However, I also had no ability to activate "Death Touch", which would inevitably attract the attacks of the two war angels, which was a sheer waste of life points. Mandrake, Gatling, Wu Ma and a dozen bone dragons chased the war angels everywhere, but they were not fast enough. The air was connected in all directions, without any obstacles, making it easier to dodge. With the intentional avoidance of the war angels, the effect was not great. If they were too scattered in order to block them more effectively, they would be easily defeated by the war angels one by one, resulting in greater losses. The pursuit was unsuccessful, and the interception was ineffective. I was in a dilemma for a while, unable to contain the offensive of the two war angels.
We can't keep on being in a stalemate like this. Without a stable rear, the strength of the necromancer can't be brought into play, and it's difficult to change the extremely passive situation. If we keep dodging and run out of energy, the situation will be even more dangerous. After a brief discussion, we changed our tactics. Qiu Shui Chang Tian and Tian Xing had summoned the demon spirit for the second time, so they couldn't be easily removed. We didn't leave anyone to defend them, and tried our best to use the "instant teleportation" ability to move around to distract the war angels. Qing Wu Fei Yang acted as another bait, moving in another far place. Only three Voldemorts were arranged to protect her. They showed their huge bodies to protect her in the middle, so that the war angels couldn't detect her actions, and thus suspected that she might be using the "Hand of Darkness" to absorb mental power, so they had to launch an attack, and wait until the war angels approached, and then calmly transformed into bats to escape, which should be able to play a greater role in distraction. At the same time, almost all the manpower was concentrated to protect me. Mandela, Gatling, Blood Fighting Eight Directions, a dozen bone dragons, Wu Ma, Khufu, Shaman, Tao Tao, surrounded me in the middle to see if I could withstand the fierce attack of the war angels and strive for the opportunity to activate the "Touch of Death". The war angels were only set to have higher intelligence, after all, they were not as smart as humans. In the face of complex situations, they might not be able to make the most reasonable analysis and judgment and take the most effective actions.
Qiushui Changtian and Tianxing kept using "teleportation" and took turns to dangle in front of one of the war angels, and even got quite close to them many times. Probably out of instinct, once they entered the effective attack range, the war angels could not hold back and would occasionally shoot out a shot to attack. With full concentration, Qiushui Changtian and Tianxing used "teleportation" to dodge in time and did not suffer any damage, which delayed the war angel's actions for a while. Qingwu Feiyang also hid in a corner of the Temple of Light and carried out the enemy-luring action as planned. If the enemy came, I would dodge, and if the enemy left, I would come. The war angels were really afraid that she would use the "Hand of Darkness" and had to repeatedly expel her. The three of them at least tied up most of the war angels, so they could not join forces to launch a full-scale attack on us who gathered in one place.
The key to the battle lies with us. If I cannot successfully activate the "Touch of Death" to absorb enough spiritual power, or if I cannot join forces to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate a war angel without paying too much of a price, then our passive situation will still be unreversible and we will not have much chance of winning. Under the protection of everyone, I activated the "Touch of Death" and began to absorb the spiritual power of Taotao hovering above my head. This is an action that no enemy will tolerate. A war angel was lured over to attack Qingwu Feiyang . Only one war angel was fighting with my guard corps on the periphery. When he saw that I was replenishing my spiritual power, he immediately began to force a breakthrough and rushed towards me with all his strength, intending to disrupt my actions.
The mad battle angel was unstoppable. It broke through the White Bone Dragon, Mandrake, and Gatling. It would rather suffer a little damage than be delayed by them. It was not fast enough and had a gap in strength. It was really hard to stop the attack of the battle angel. It was almost in front of me. After driving away Qingwu Feiyang, the other battle angel did not continue to chase her and rushed to me quickly. Even if I blocked the attack of the battle angel in front of me with the help of Wu Ma and Khufu, once the two battle angels joined forces to attack, I could only dodge and escape, and it was impossible to continue to activate the "Touch of Death".
If I choose to turn into a bat and retreat, all my actions will be meaningless. I will still be chased by the war angel and unable to resist. I will not be able to help the battle. Seeing that the war angel is about to kill me, I gritted my teeth and fought hard. I called out to other companions and decided to execute the killing plan and counterattack. This is a very risky tactical coordination. It was discussed when we were hiding at the foot of the mountain. We combined the strength of everyone, gave full play to the characteristics of the undead subordinates and companions, cooperated with each other, formed a set of continuous attack actions, and tried to injure or even kill the war angel in one fell swoop.
I put myself in the most dangerous situation. If there is any mistake in the coordination between my subordinates and Qiu Shui Changtian, we may be directly attacked by the war angel. The distance is so close, and I am activating the "Touch of Death". Even if I use the "Blood Bat Transformation", I can't avoid it in time. Among all the undead wizards, I am the only one who can take this risk - I have the magic of "Sacrifice" and "Unparalleled Guardian" to protect my body. Even if I get shot twice, it is impossible to take my life.
Wu Ma and Hu Fu were guarding me from above. The Battle Angel had gotten rid of the entanglement of others and rushed over. In order to avoid Wu Ma and Hu Fu's interception, it attacked me directly. It was at full speed, and its light gun was dancing wildly, creating a phantom. It was difficult to distinguish its specific attack position. Even Tao Tao's "Flame Dragon Wushuang" could not catch up with its figure. I bent my waist and knees, trying my best to relax my body, while opening my eyes wide, concentrating on observing and sensing, speculating on the actions of the Battle Angel, and judging whether it would swing its gun at me in the next moment. This was the most critical moment. I had to rely on my experience to face the Battle Angel's attack alone and create an opportunity to counterattack. Wu Ma, Hu Fu, Shaman, Tao Tao, Qiu Shui Chang Tian, their summoned undead and other companions also took the opportunity to disperse and entered the attack position respectively. According to the planned attack routine, they were ready to launch a series of counterattacks against the Battle Angel.
The high-speed moving war angel finally launched an attack. His body suddenly paused, and the light gun whistled across his waist, obviously trying to disrupt my action of activating the "Touch of Death". In an instant, I also reacted almost synchronously. After all, I was a part-time thief. With my focused stare, my energy was not in vain. My body completely relaxed, leaned back, and fell to the ground. It was my luck to dodge this shot. I can continue to absorb mental power. Even if I am hit, I have the magic of "Sacrifice" and "Unparalleled Guardian" to protect my body. As long as I rescue in time and don't give the war angel a chance to continue chasing, my life will not be in danger.
The light gun swept past my body and almost hit it. Fortunately, my reaction was a little faster and I was not hurt. However, I lost my balance and fell to the ground. If the war angel took advantage of the situation and shot me again, I would not even be able to transform into a bat. It can be said that I would definitely hit it. I naturally would not give it this opportunity. As my body fell, I started to counterattack. I first sprayed a ball of "blood evil" on its face. Although the strength difference was large, the blood essence of the eighth-level upper-level vampire Fang Marquis could at least cause a little obstruction to its vision. Then Khufu condensed 15% of his mental power and sent out a "thunder strike". With his vision affected, the war angel had no time to dodge and could only block it. He was shocked back several steps, and then a white bone dragon flew towards it. The war angel remained calm and fired a shot back, sending the beast flying to the side. Shaman took the opportunity to spit out another ball of "blood evil". Khufu also followed closely and continued to use "Thunder Strike". At the same time, another bone dragon swooped down and hit the beast. These two methods worked together, leaving the war angel no chance to breathe.
After being attacked repeatedly, his vision was affected. The war angel finally couldn't hold on. He couldn't dodge in time, and couldn't swing his gun to completely dispel the impact of the third white bone dragon. He staggered back, and his body turned half a circle involuntarily. Before the war angel could stabilize his position, a horseless figure appeared behind the white bone dragon that was knocked away. He had already made preparations and chopped down on the head with "one step forward". The body had already lost balance, and coupled with the effect of the gravity field, the war angel couldn't even dodge, let alone raise his gun to block. He barely avoided the head, but it chopped heavily on the shoulder, and his body sank down. If he hadn't hurriedly flapped his light wings twice to try his best to offset part of the downward force, he would have been pressed to the ground.
Since the counterattack has been launched, we will never give the war angel a chance to escape easily, otherwise when another war angel arrives, it will definitely be impossible to kill it. Once it escapes back to join the Cherubim, even if the angels cannot heal each other's injuries, the light wall defense of the Holy Lamp of Light will still cause us a lot of trouble. We must attack with all our strength and take advantage of the situation to kill it as much as possible. What a mountain of pressure, attack in pairs, one ring after another, so that the war angel is overwhelmed. In addition, the continuous spitting of "blood evil" by Saman blocks its vision, and it is impossible to spread its wings and fly in the air, and use its speed advantage to get rid of the attacks that come one after another, and its body is injured one after another. Especially Wu Ma and Khufu, one "forge ahead" and the other "thunder strike", have the strongest killing effect, always hit the war angel hard at the critical moment when it tries to stabilize its position, and don't give it a chance to get rid of the siege.
Being more flexible than us is the confidence of the two war angels to fight on their own, which directly led to their failure. Once the advantage of speed cannot be brought into play and the correct tactics cannot be implemented, it is impossible for a war angel to last long in the face of so many opponents. The other war angel was lured to another place. Although he rushed back desperately, he encountered three suicidal interceptions by the bone dragons on the periphery. After all, he was still a step too late. He watched the besieged war angel's noble head being chopped off by the horseless blood axe, and his body lost all its light and fell to the ground and died.
Shaman spit out five mouthfuls of "blood evil" in a row, and his vitality was exhausted. He fell to the ground one step ahead of time. I hurriedly activated the ability of "return in wartime" to send it back to the "dead soul space" - under the illumination of the Holy Light, the death of the undead pet in battle may also reduce the upper limit of its mental power. The unexpected attack, and more importantly, the tacit cooperation among everyone, achieved such a brilliant victory at the cost of several bone dragons, killing a war angel in one fell swoop.
Our overall strength was intact, and we were already qualified to confront a war angel head-on. We continued to implement the previous tactics, with me as the focus of defense, and continued to activate the "Touch of Death" that had not been interrupted. Perhaps it had learned a lesson from its companion's strength, and the remaining war angel became a little cautious, not daring to rush in rashly. We did not take the initiative to attack, but guarded me and confronted it, and I could concentrate more on speeding up the absorption of mental power. Without a war angel, the threat was much smaller, and the initiative had shifted to our side, so we had the capital to stalemate with it.
The war angel attacked several times, but we fought back desperately, exchanging injuries for injuries, and failed to gain any advantage. Although my action of urging "Touch of Death" was interrupted once, Shoe Dance Feiyang, who was not disturbed, replenished his mental strength under the cover of Voldemort, and summoned nine bone dragons to join the siege of the war angel. I also summoned a six-armed giant magician, which had enough strength to protect it and would not be quickly killed by the remaining war angel. I fully exerted the power of "Torch Stone Bomb", making the war angel's situation even more unfavorable. After taking control of the situation, Qiu Shui Chang Tian and Tian Xing also freed themselves from the "demon possession" and began to use the "Hand of Darkness" to replenish their mental strength. By the time another batch of six bone dragons were summoned, we had the strength to launch a counterattack and turned around to chase the War Angel. Badly injured and no longer able to suppress us, it was forced back to the attack area of the Cherubim. At the same time, we intensified our attacks on the Cherubim, repeatedly destroying the defensive light wall, making it unable to support the War Angel. We drove it into the defensive light wall, where it never dared to show its head again.
Without the outer assault force, the Holy Lamp of Light posed basically no threat to us. We could only defend with all our might to maintain our deterrence against them. Our four Witch Kings cast the "Summoning of the Undead" several times, with bone dragons taking the lead, physical collisions, and six-armed giant magicians conducting long-range bombings. They finally followed our battle rhythm and completely took control of the initiative in the battle. Death was an inevitable outcome.
