Chapter 491: Chapter 324: Undead Scourge, Wave vs Wave (4K)_2
The giant continued in a booming voice,
“The Featherman Nation… may lack the ability or, rather, the courage. Ever since their great defeat at the hands of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf decades ago, they’ve virtually secluded themselves from the world, not daring even to step out and explore, let alone seize resources. Where would they find the courage to confront the Fang of the Jackal Wolf head-on?
“Of course, whichever power this might be, they probably didn’t expect the Monster Overlord’s call to be so terrifyingly compelling. Without the need for legends to take action, the black tide is enough to drown everything.”
At this point, both fell silent.
As they stood in the distance, gazing ahead, they felt an oppressive weight overcoming them, a shiver running through their bodies. The force amidst the surrounding monster tide, facing the endless creatures head-on, how frightened they must feel?
…
Atop Wolf Head Mountain, soldiers braced themselves, the fighting spirit beneath their helmets growing uncontrollably fierce.
Wasn’t it just a monster tide?
They were fighting the tide!
“Woo woo woo woo—”
The Jackal Man leaders sounded the horns, the sounds echoing one after another, spreading in all directions.
The next moment, the monsters that had hung their heads lifted them, drool dripping from their mouths, as they howled towards the heavens.
“Roar!” “Roar roar!” “Awooo!”
They surged forth, the black tide that had been still for a while, now rolling forward again.
Before long, the monsters at the forefront of the tide entered the firing range of Wolf Head Mountain Fortress.
The Thunder Flame Cannons set up at high vantage points on the fortress and peaks of the mountain fired rapidly. There were also a few ‘Thunder Fire Cannons’ at Rare Level, costly war machines that Mu Yuan had procured, which also fired with booming blasts.
In the blink of an eye, monsters were pierced by massive arrows, blown to smithereens.
Qing Shuang and Han Shuang stood atop fortresses in the Snow Country, their snowy white hair fluttering. They had built their own Snow Country fortresses within Tianyuan Territory, but that didn’t impede them from harnessing the power of other fortresses.
They were among the strongest in the Snow Girl system of troops, having cultivated to the middle of Third-order.
Now, standing atop the Snow Country forts, they could faintly resonate with the surrounding heaven and earth.
They stretched out their hands, and icy power surged forth violently.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, congregating to form an overwhelming Cold Tide, a high-level ability called ‘Cold Tide Funeral,’ strengthened by the Snow Country fortress as though it was a Large-scale Magic.
The Cold Tide buried masses of monsters.
On the Snow Country fortresses, Ice Crystal Towers were also firing ice cones with whooshing sounds.
“This power seems to be very adept at setting up fortress defenses, their lines are quite strong. However, there are simply too many monsters,” the giant sighed.
The elf nodded.
Despite the large number of monsters killed by the various defensive weapons and structures, they couldn’t stop the advancing tide. At the current rate, in a few hundred seconds, throngs of monsters would be storming the fortress.
By then, could the few hundred to a thousand elites on the walls use their heads to block the surging tide?
Impossible!
What’s more…
Within the tide, not all were mindless creatures that charged forward on instinct alone.
In the skies, a group of over two to three thousand flying monsters, all above Second-order elite level, were being commanded at high speed.
As long as these flying monsters breached the fortress and slightly disrupted the defenders’ formation, they would fulfill the commanders’ objective of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf.
A bit further away, over a hundred Rare Three-star-level monsters, ‘Evil Eyes,’ were being gathered by a Jackal Man priest.
The priest held a relic, chanting bizarre incantations.
Suddenly, a crimson mist flew out, enshrouding the Evil Eyes. Their eyeballs swelled even larger, becoming engorged with scarlet as they Accumulated Power, emitting thick beams of sinister light.
With flying monsters from the west and Evil Eye beams from the east.
The Monster Overlord had come fully prepared.
In the long-range bombardment, the Thunder Flame Cannons, Arrow Towers, and other defensive installations were easily destroyed. Even if their casualty ratio against the monsters was one to ten, one to twenty, or even one to a hundred, they would be at a disadvantage.
Mu Yuan, of course, had also come prepared.
Large-scale Magic · Thousand Prism Large Reflection, activated!
An invisible Great Force channeled through the Staff of Divine Right, descending over the airspace of Wolf Head Mountain Fortress. In an instant, a huge shield constructed of countless hexagonal blue mirrors, like a giant bowl, was inverted over Wolf Head Mountain Fortress.
The Evil Eye beams coming from the east struck the pale blue screen, causing only slight ripples before being deflected, transforming into myriad scattered beams that rained down on the surging monster tide.
For a time, dust billowed, and the earth quaked.
The flying monsters from the west were also blocked outside the Thousand Prism barrier, their various energy and physical attacks unable to penetrate this Large-scale Magic. Meanwhile, the protected Tianyuan defenders could effortlessly shoot through and kill the monsters.
This was the principle of ‘one-way defense’ of an Enchantment.
The Thousand Prism Large Reflection, after all, was a super spell created through the talent of Difu, combined with the intelligence of Mu Yuan and Isloa. It was not only powerful but also exquisitely profound.
Compared to a real Enchantment, its only flaw was that it couldn’t be sustained indefinitely.
In normal circumstances, it could last two and a half hours, but the more frequent and powerful the external attacks on it, the shorter the duration of the spell.
And because it was a one-use spell, they couldn’t replenish it by expending energy.
