Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 308 Another Breakthrough
The enemy with the speed advantage is the most difficult to deal with. Even though we have an army of 100,000 black bone dragons, and have an absolute advantage in numbers and overall strength, we are still unable to attack the enemy. No matter how much strength we have, we have nowhere to use it. Moreover, the strength of Sanadan itself is far superior to that of the black bone dragons. Even if there are several of us against one, we can't do anything to it, let alone suppress it too easily. On the surface, we are the main attacker, driving a large group of black bone dragons to attack Sanadan, but in fact, the real initiative is in its hands. It moves freely among the black bone dragons, and seems to be at ease. Our constant pursuit and interception does not have much effect on it. It can only slightly delay its actions, but it cannot cause it to suffer effective damage. Fortunately, we have enough black bone dragons. Although we are not strong enough to chase and kill the extremely swift and agile Sanadan, we can still have some advantages in defense. We set up a dense defensive formation and wait for it. Sanadan can find a gap to go deep into the key defense area where the undead wizards are located, but we still have to change back to the bat-man form suitable for fighting. At the same time, it gives us the opportunity to attack. We can always hit it with a lot of sacrifices. Anyway, Sanadan is not an ordinary enemy. As the "law enforcer" of the blood clan, its purpose is to execute the "heavenly punishment" judgment of those of us who intend to "go against the sky". We must do our best to kill us and will not actively avoid fighting until we die.
With the unique ability to sense and lock breath as a "law enforcer", Sanadan probably determined the location of a necromancer who had launched a direct attack on it, and flew straight over it. Several necromancers with the ability of "blood bat transformation" and not attacked by "bloody storm", such as Qingwu Feiyang and Longma Jingshen, have been flying around it in bats, trying to attract its attention and induce it to choose them as targets of attack. But Sanadan may have learned the lesson of the futile attack some time ago, and was unmoved. No matter how they lured him, even at had no intention of changing the target of attack. He still identified the location where the necromancer was defending and flew straight over. The distance was getting closer and closer. After flying over the target necromancer, Sanadan flew straight down and broke into the group of black bone dragons that were lined up in the near-ground area below. He dodged their interception with extremely flexible movements and quickly approached the necromancer's stronghold. It seems that we will soon be in close combat with Sanadan, but we don't know whether our carefully designed protection measures can effectively resist its attack. This can be said to be the key to this "heaven-defying war". If Sanadan forcibly breaks through and successfully kills the necromancer who is being protected, there will be at least thousands of black bone dragons without a leader. Without the dispatch of their masters, they will not only be unable to play a big role, but may also constitute a certain obstruction to our next attack. This was also verified in the defense of the holy land "Karamayi". Once our protective measures against the necromancers are ineffective and they are killed by Sanadan one after another, the siege of our 100,000 black bone dragon army may collapse, and the situation will be very unfavorable to us, and there will be no chance of winning. As long as Sanadan cannot quickly break through the close protection net of the necromancer, and finally fails to achieve the goal of killing him, and is forced to retreat under the rescue and siege of our reinforcements, or even if he succeeds, he pays too much price for it and suffers relatively heavy damage, then we have taken advantage. Sanadan will not be able to use this method to cause a devastating blow to us. Even if we pay a high price, it will not cause any serious damage, and there will still be great hope to win the final victory.
Every Undead wizard who participated in the battle understood the key. It is estimated that except for the companions who are being directly attacked by the "bloody storm", the other companions, as long as they have undead subordinates stationed in the nearby area and can watch the live broadcast, should not miss the upcoming battle and pay close attention to the development of the situation. Once we can effectively resist or even defeat the attack of Satan, the morale will be greatly boosted, which will be more conducive to the full play of the combat effectiveness of our members. Otherwise, if they are worried about their own safety, it is okay for "mercenaries" who are simply for money. If they die in battle, they will receive additional subsidies and should not be too afraid of death. For those Undead wizards who are hindered by personal relationships and have a certain obligation to help, there may be some adverse effects, which may directly hinder their performance, and the result will be more disadvantageous to us.
Sanadan finally approached the target undead wizard, and in front of it was a dense black bone dragon protection net. This was different from the black bone dragons outside that it had found a gap to break through. Each black bone dragon that built the protection net was static, standing still in their respective positions, one next to the other. Even though the bat incarnation of Sanadan was so small, it was still an independent undead creature after all. The mutual repulsion of Qi was enough to block those too narrow gaps, making it impossible for it to pass through freely with speed and dexterity. It flew around the protection net for several circles, probably looking for any flaws that it could exploit. Unfortunately, it never found a breakthrough point, so it had to transform into a bat-man form, flying in the air and attacking the black bone dragons participating in the fixed-point protection, and began to force a breakthrough. It seemed that it was not going to give up easily, and tried its best to kill the undead wizard who was protected in the inner layer.
Determined to win, Sanadan showed a strong attack power. With his blood-red claws, he could easily tear a black bone dragon apart, with its body torn into pieces and its skeleton flying. Anyone who stood in front of it would have such a miserable end. However, Sanadan's progress was not smooth. On the one hand, the black bone dragon protection net that was attacked was not in the slightest panic. Each black bone dragon continued to stick to its own defensive position, not giving Sanadan any chance to take advantage of it. In addition to the little space vacated by the black bone dragon that was forcibly killed by it, there was still no other gap for it to use to pass through. This was also a lesson learned from the defense of the holy land "Karamayi". Once the black bone dragon protection net was shaken in a panic, the defense would become looser, making it easier for the enemy to take advantage of it and facilitate its breakthrough, so that Sanadan could only continue to rely on his own forced assault to continue to go deeper. On the other hand, the black bone dragons near Sanadan launched a fierce attack on it. With limited space, they could not move their bodies to make big movements, but they could swing their heads and spray "black dragon flames" to attack, not hesitating to hurt nearby companions, just to attack Sanadan as much as possible. In order to break through, Sanadan directly attacked the undead wizards protected in the inner layer, and only killed the black bone dragon in front of it. The space for evasion was limited. It was transformed into a bat-man form, with a large size, and it was impossible to effectively avoid the continuous "black dragon flame" attack. In particular, the black bone dragon that followed in and chased behind was even more unscrupulous and unwilling to relax for a moment. Sanadan had no room to dodge at all, and had to turn around and kill it. After it was crushed to pieces, another black bone dragon rushed forward and sprayed "black dragon flames" to attack, so that Sanadan would inevitably suffer continuous damage whether he continued to rush forward or turned back to repel the enemy. The black bone dragon's fixed-point protection net is not only for protection, but also conducive to our attack. As long as we break in, Sanadan's actions will be restricted accordingly, and he will no longer be able to move easily and freely. His speed and flexibility advantages will not have much room to play, and he will have to fight us head-on. Even if he kills the undead wizard hidden in the protection net in the end, he will suffer relatively heavy damage. It is impossible to be too easy. After comprehensive comparison, we still have the advantage. Anyway, every undead wizard who participates in the battle has the awareness and psychological preparation to die on the battlefield. As long as he dies for a good reason, not too unjustly, plays his due role, and can see the hope of winning the final victory, only a few unfortunate people will die in the battle, which will not threaten the safety of most undead wizards participating in the battle, and will not cause much of a blow to morale.
Although he was under the attack of "Black Dragon Flame" from all directions and constantly suffered damage, Sanadan still refused to give up the action and rushed into the depth area. A hundred black bone dragons had to provide all-round protection, and the protective net could not be set too thick. Finally, it broke into the central area and directly faced the undead wizard hiding in it. Even with the "Sacrifice" and "Unparalleled Protection" magic as protection, the weak undead wizard could not confront Sanadan head-on, and also died tragically under Sanadan's claws, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and the body was torn into pieces, and the death was extremely miserable. However, this does not mean that Sanadan has won a great victory and can end this war. The battle is still developing towards a climax. Although the undead wizard was killed, Sanadan is still surrounded by black bone dragons. According to the contingency plan we had prepared in advance, before the undead wizard Gan was killed, he would give the final order. The black bone dragons that built the protective net would go all out to attack the Sanadan who was surrounded in the center, and they would spit out "black dragon flames" instead of launching physical attacks with their fangs and claws. They would not give Sanadan too many gaps to break through. Even if it turned into a bat, it would not be possible to dodge all of them. The black bone dragon reinforcements on the periphery were also deployed accordingly. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Sanadan's main target, the undead wizard, stayed here for too long, they initially built a close defense line. All of them used "black dragon flames" as a means of attack, which did not require too much movement and would not leave too much gap. They would even spit continuously without hesitation, even at the cost of accidentally injuring their companions. As long as Sanadan wanted to break out, whether he turned into a bat or forced his way in with the bat-man form, he would pay a certain price. Don't expect to be as free as before. As for the hundreds of black bone dragons that might panic and fail to cooperate with our peripheral attack due to the death of their master, their number is too small to disrupt our defense. Moreover, the other black bone dragons under the dead necromancer also received the order from their master before his death, and stopped participating in the battle. They immediately left the battle circle and flew to the designated assembly point to wait for orders, so as not to affect our next battle by acting recklessly without effective control. This is the "attack and defense" contingency tactic we formulated. As we worried before the war, the speed and flexibility of the blood clan "law enforcer" Sanadan is far superior to the black bone dragons, and a strong attack will not have much effect. So we changed the tactics in time and attacked with the "black dragon flame" which is less powerful but more suitable for dense formations. Attack and defense are integrated. As long as we are given a little time to arrange and surround Sanadan, it is impossible to break out without any injury. It will cost something.
After a struggle, Sanadan finally broke through the siege and continued to fly high into the sky. Unwilling to give up, it continued to look for the next target to attack, and followed the same method to kill other protected undead wizards who participated in the battle. Although it relied on its tyrannical strength, it succeeded one after another. The target undead wizards who lacked effective means of survival and escape were not able to escape the fate of being killed, but Sanadan was not at ease. As our cooperation and response became more and more skillful and tacit, it brought more damage to it. It paid too much for those implicated, but it had no way to deal with our eleven undead wizards who were directly involved in the case, and it has not been able to kill any of them so far. After a few times, perhaps it realized that there were too many undead wizards who participated in the battle on their own and violated the rules. With its strength, it could not kill them all. Killing a few undead wizards did not achieve the desired effect, and did not cause too much chaos to our attack. Although it caused about 10,000 black bone dragons to withdraw from the battle, it itself also suffered serious injuries. It finally gave up the risky attack and the action of killing those undead wizards who were under special protection. It refocused its attack on the eleven undead wizards who were directly involved in the case, and strengthened its offensive against us with the "Heavenly Punishment" skill "Bloody Storm".
Several undead wizards were sacrificed, and more than 10,000 black bone dragons had to retreat without a fight. It seems that we have suffered a great loss, but in fact, we can say that we have survived the most difficult stage, initially stabilized our position, and won the first round of the contest, which is a great boost to morale. Those undead wizards who lack sufficient self-protection ability are our weakest link. If we cannot effectively protect them and are easily killed by Sanadan, this "war against heaven" will be difficult to fight. Now Sanadan has been forced to give up the strategy of attacking them in a roundabout way and trying to disintegrate our resistance, which means that we have guarded the biggest weakness and are no longer in danger of collapse. It proves that Sanadan can no longer take too much initiative, and the momentum of strategic offensive is restrained, so the battle situation is much more optimistic.
Of course, in this way, the pressure on the eleven undead wizards directly involved in the case has increased a lot. Under the violent attack of the "bloody rain", the black bone dragons under our command can be easily defeated and torn into pieces. Each "bloody rain" will take away at least a few lives of the black bone dragons. As long as there is a slight gap, it can pour down and project onto the ground. Moreover, the attack power of the "bloody rain" will be adjusted accordingly. The greater the resistance, the longer it will last. Each "bloody rain" must touch the ground before it will stop. No matter how many black bone dragons are blocking the attack line, they will be mercilessly broken through in one fell swoop, and it is impossible for one to survive. Therefore, the sacrifice of the black bone dragons can only buy us a little breathing space, but it cannot guarantee our safety. We still need to move quickly and dodge to avoid being hurt. If we hadn't rescued and covered each other, actively attracted the attack of "Blood Rain", and bought time for other companions to recover, if we were alone and encountered such a fierce pursuit, I'm afraid we would have been exhausted mentally or physically, and died tragically under "Blood Rain". Now, Sanadan, who had no hope of destroying us, devoted all his efforts to attacking the eleven of us directly involved , and tried his best to kill us. Although we relied on "Blood Bat Transformation" and "Teleportation" to avoid being approached by it, the long-range magic attack also brought us a considerable threat, especially with the tacit cooperation with "Blood Rain", which always chose to take the opportunity to attack when it was most difficult for us to dodge. Under the two-pronged attack, our situation would be more dangerous and more vulnerable to harm. Moreover, under Sanadan's careful control, the anti-interference ability of "Blood Rain" was greatly enhanced. It was no longer easily lured by us to change its attack target, but was more focused on attacking a necromancer, and no matter how other companions tried to seduce it, it would not let it go easily. For a moment, the undead wizards who were targeted by it had to deal with it more carefully. Under the continuous attacks of Satan and "Bloody Rain", they were in danger everywhere and their lives were in danger at any time.
We certainly can't let Sanadan attack one companion endlessly. "Teleportation" consumes too much physical strength, and "Blood Bat Transformation" cannot effectively avoid all injuries. For the weak undead wizard, it is impossible to hold on for too long under the fierce double attack. Once one of them is killed, no one dares to guarantee that he will not become the next victim. We must do our best to curb Sanadan's offensive, so as to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of being trapped in danger and killed. The most important thing is to dismantle the cooperation between Sanadan and the "Heavenly Punishment" skill "Blood and Rain", so that they can only fight on their own and cannot attack a target together. If we deal with the attacks of Sanadan or "Blood and Rain" separately, it will be relatively easier for us to dodge, and we will not be forced to death too easily. At least we can hold on for a while longer, and there is hope to escape from the effective range of the attack under the cover of our companions and get a chance to breathe. The attack of "Blood and Rain" is not controlled by us, and we cannot directly affect its operation. We can only try our best to block the actions of Sanadan himself. The bat form moves too fast, and the black bone dragon can't react fast enough. The "black dragon flame" it spews out can't hurt Sanadan. However, when it approaches us to attack, it has to transform back into a bat-man form, but there are traces to follow, and it is easy to be hurt by the densely defending black bone dragons. Often it releases a string of "blood shadow dark killing bombs" towards us, and it will also be sprayed with several mouthfuls of "black dragon flame". And as long as there is a slight delay, more black bone dragons will quickly gather around it, and begin to set up a tighter defense line around it to strengthen the offensive. Even if it transforms into a bat, it will not be too easy to break through, so it does not have too many opportunities to attack us continuously. Whether it continues to attack or dodge, it can buy us more breathing time, so that it will not be chased and forced into a dead end.
The absolute advantage in numbers allows us to sacrifice those black bone dragons without hesitation and fight head-on. Even if Sanadan uses all his strength to launch the "bloody storm", it is impossible to kill all the remaining 80,000 black bone dragons. As the war progresses, we have more and more experience in how to intercept Sanadan's actions. Under the multi-faceted cover of many black bone dragons, we can always avoid or get rid of attacks in time, effectively protect ourselves, and avoid being killed. We even sacrifice more black bone dragons and take the initiative to let Sanadan kill us. We intentionally use those black bone dragons to resist the "bloody storm" just to consume more of its mental and physical strength. When Sanadan consumes too much and has to slow down its fierce offensive and relieve our pressure, it will be our turn to counterattack and put it to death.
A single tiger cannot fight a pack of wolves. If we cannot break our siege, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to Sanadan. Moreover, the "Heavenly Punishment" skill "Blood and Rain" may effectively suppress our "Blood Bat Transformation" ability, and we cannot completely avoid its damage, but our "Demon Possession Instantaneous Movement" ability can effectively dodge the attack of "Blood and Rain". We also used the absolute advantage in numbers to buy us the time we need, and we can restore the lost physical strength in time to avoid the risk of physical exhaustion. Even with the cooperation of Sanadan himself, it is difficult to play a good effect under the interference of many black bone dragons. At most, it only increases the threat to us and makes our situation more dangerous. Under the close cooperation of our top undead wizards, it has been difficult to achieve full success and not take the life of any of us.
Endless battles, no rest for a moment, too much mental and physical energy was consumed, and Sanadan gradually became tired. "Blood and Rain" was still raging, and it did not slow down, but its own attacks were much weaker, and it was more of a bat to dodge, no longer showing the bat-man form to attack us directly. After repeated observations for a while, we determined that Sanadan did not seem to be camouflaged, and we also adjusted our actions in time, not letting Sanadan take too much time to rest. Once it caught its breath, it would still be difficult to deal with it. We no longer dodge blindly, but actively approached Sanadan, taking turns to fight, constantly creating opportunities for it to attack, not hesitating to risk our lives, but also to induce it to continue to attack us, consuming its mental and physical energy, and not giving it the slightest chance to breathe - killing us is its duty, and with such a good opportunity, it naturally cannot let it go easily and will attack us.
Seeing that Sanadan's performance was getting worse and worse, even the attack frequency of "Blood Rain" was obviously slowed down, not as good as before. The fast reaction team composed of level 10 undead also appeared on the scene. Its members were either fast like Ebola and Guben, or had range attack skills that could restrain speed like the Undead Ghost Phoenix, and they were all capable of hurting Sanadan. The battle has been going on for so long, and our players' energy is also limited. We are already quite tired. If it continues, our reactions will become slower and slower. If there is any mistake, we may lose a few of our own before we kill Sanadan. We dare not rely on the black bone dragon and Sanadan to consume it. It is safer to end the battle in a timely manner.
Sanadan's resistance was still tenacious, but after we deployed the tenth-level undead team and launched a more fierce offensive, it was already at the end of its strength and could only defend itself, and it no longer posed much of a threat to us. If it withdrew and fled, we would definitely have no way to catch up with it, but as "law enforcers", we had a duty and could not give up executing "heavenly punishment" in order to save our lives. We had to persevere to the end. This doomed its tragic fate, and it eventually died under our siege, fulfilling the reputation of our eleven undead wizard blood clan "god-defying".
Winning this "heaven-defying war" not only preserved the vested interests of the blood clan royal family, but also valued the additional basic spiritual power attribute reward that can be obtained by killing the "law enforcer". At the same time as killing Sanadan, the bodies of our eleven undead wizards flashed with blood-colored light. Obviously, everyone's basic spiritual power attribute has been improved to a certain extent. My basic spiritual power attribute has increased from the original Super Silver First Order Light Silver to Super Silver Second Order Light Silver, and it is about to break through to Super Silver Third Order, which is about 10% higher. This has made me quite satisfied. After all, the original base number is already very high, and it is divided equally among the eleven undead wizards. The number is nearly twice as much as the last time we challenged the "law enforcer" Aristotle of the corpse wizard clan. In comparison, the reward obtained is really not small, at least more than the 5% to 8% I estimated.
