At the same time, a sharp horn sounded from the towering watchtower in the Zhenhun Bay Port. When the Soul Witch Knights saw the ships on the sea, they immediately came to the shore and set up magic cannons, crossbows and other defensive equipment to fight back. Suddenly, the roar was endless.
Unfortunately, when these crossbows and magic approached the fleet, the light curtains, wind walls and water shields became insurmountable obstacles for them, and all their attacks failed.
"kill!"
When the ship was only a few hundred meters away from the shore, McKen, Iben, Gushan and others jumped up, went directly ashore, and began a fierce killing.
Following the lead of the Legend and the Sun Knight, the others also landed one after another when the time was right.
These enemies wearing black standard armor are all Soul Knights. Before the attack, each captain had already informed their soldiers of the key points on how to deal with them.
In the blink of an eye, a safe area was cleared near the port, and the captains maneuvered their ships to dock one after another.
On the towering spire in the center of Soul Bay, Guardian Georgia Bustamante appeared at the top.
She saw the scene happening at the Zhenhun Bay Port with sharp eyes, and her pale face was cold.
"I didn't expect that the warning Lord Salonas gave me two days ago actually came true. These bastards from the ruined land actually had the guts to attack Soul-Suppressing Bay!"
Georgia slowly raised her hands, and dark energy surged on her palms. This energy seemed like a key, and as it lit up, the entire space of Zhenhun Bay began to respond to it.
In front of her, the space was rippling with waves, each one like a beating heart, announcing the revival of something.
Buzz~ The light lit up, and the power of Nightmare formed a barrier that enveloped the core area of Soul-Suppressing Bay.
As the protective formation was activated, the entire underground began to gush out a strange purple-black aura as a whole, instantly making the view of Zhenhun Bay dark, as if the sky had suddenly turned dark.
A gray mouse that appeared from the crack in the wall accidentally touched the purple-black aura and exploded into countless pieces of meat.
This is the strangulation formation, targeting all creatures except the Wuhun clan and those marked by them.
Under the elemental vision, Roning could see the two formations clearly.
At the same time, he also knew that in addition to the protective formation and the strangling formation, there was also invisible energy here. It did not cause physical attacks or magical damage, but directly affected people's souls.
This is actually the soul shock formation mentioned by Salonas, but Ronin doesn't know its name.
"Everyone, hold up your fighting spirit armor and defensive magic!"
Ronin's voice fell into everyone's ears, and at the same time he flashed to the top of the spire.
Georgia looked up suddenly and was shocked. This person was so fast that he was above her before she could react.
Seeing the other person looking down at her, Georgia suddenly felt angry: "You ignorant human, go to hell!"
As the controller of the formation, at this moment, she directed all the energy of the strangling formation and the soul shock formation towards Luo Ning.
This unavoidable double attack would instantly stun even the opponent who was a sage.
Especially the impact on the soul. If you don’t defend well, you will become an idiot even if you don’t die.
The fire of Roning's soul had long since merged with his body transformed by the power of the world, turning him into an immortal body. The impact of the soul shock array was like an ant biting an elephant, painless.
As for the strangling force, although it is quite strong, it is just so-so.
Roning raised his hand and swept it across in front of him, forcefully pushing away the two layers of formations that were encircling him, as if tearing open a huge gap. The surging evil power in the surrounding space was immediately stirred into chaos.
As the controller, Georgia only felt a heavy punch hitting her, causing her delicate body to sway again and again, and finally she fell backwards, barely holding on to the pillar behind her to avoid falling.
"How is that possible!"
She widened her eyes, looking at the human in front of her in disbelief. The other person seemed fine and was not affected at all.
Luo Ning raised his lips slightly and praised: "The formation is good, but it's a pity that it doesn't work on me."
He raised his hand and punched down. The heavy blow fell on the spire like a meteorite from the sky, directly smashing this iconic building and Georgia on the spire into pieces!
As the spire was shattered, the three large formations set up in the Soul-Calming Bay collapsed one after another, triggering a chain reaction in an instant, and the sound of energy explosions in the formations was endless.
"This spire should be the core of the formation. If it is destroyed, the energy will become chaotic and have nowhere to be released."
Roning looked towards the port. Fortunately, his team was still on the edge and was not greatly affected.
"Rydar, the rest is up to you."
Luo Ning returned to the port watchtower and said, "I looked around the Soul-Calming Bay and there are still a few Legends left here."
"Leave it to me, Your Majesty!"
Redal felt sorry for not having a sage-level opponent, and he really wanted to try his hand.
As the formation of Zhenhun Bay was easily broken by Roning, the following battles were free of twists and turns and surprises.
Luo Ning couldn't help but sigh.
Salonas had occupied the Soul-Realming Bay for hundreds and thousands of years, with the Storm Sea at its back. No enemy had ever been able to threaten this place. This was probably why he let down his guard.
Of course, maybe he didn't expect that Roning's team would directly raid his base camp.
Above the town of Bolt, the world power surging out of the elemental ocean turned this area into a chaotic space.
Shadow Lord Salonas has been at a disadvantage under Lion's powerful attack, but he is well aware of the gap in strength between the two sides.
His positioning in the battle was very clear. He did not seek to defeat Ryan, but only to hold the opponent back.
If he can delay it, he wins.
Bang! Another fight, the fierce energy impact made the sky and the earth change color.
Salonas had been strolling leisurely, but suddenly his heart tightened. Then, as if he realized something, he looked sharply in the direction of Soul-Realizing Bay.
In his perception, the nightmare power of Soul-Calming Bay became extremely chaotic.
This is not the most important thing.
Most importantly, he sensed that the triple formation he had set up in Soul-Suppressing Bay was destroyed in an instant.
"How is that possible!"
Ryan laughed out loud when he saw this scene. "Finally realized it? Unfortunately, it's too late, Salonas! From today on, the balance between humans and demons has been broken!"
"snort!"
Salonas glanced at the fighting troops below. If he withdrew at this time, Ryan would surely kill all his men.
He couldn't get away.
"It's just a small town. What if I give it to you?"
He regained his composure and immediately informed Phoenix of the situation in Soul-Realizing Bay. At the same time, he sensed that the other party had sent people to Bolt Town for support, while Phoenix himself headed directly for Soul-Realizing Bay.
He taunted, "I just wonder if your allies will be able to hold out until you arrive in the face of the wrath of the Flame King?"
Salonas stepped forward again, entangled Ryan, and forced him to stay on the battlefield and not support Ronin.
Although Ryan had a lot of contact with Roning, he had not seen Roning's true strength, and didn't know whether he would be at risk when facing Phoenix.
Considering the overall situation, he needs to support Roning.
He waved his hand to block the opponent's attack, then flew towards the Soul-Suppressing Bay. "Then we'll see if Phoenix can withstand the combined efforts of him and me!"
Salonas frowned. The other party actually left the front battlefield? He laughed and chased after them, "Blindly trust your teammates, you will lose miserably!"
At this time, Roning, who had been in a plundering state, was attracted by the report that McKen suddenly came over.
On a street in Zhenhun Bay, thousands of knights holding shields and weapons were attacking the defense line.
However, they were frightened and retreated under the powerful counterattack of Iben and others, and now the two sides are in a standoff.
According to the rules set by Roning in the Star Continent, people who are not Soul Knights can be shown leniency and should not be killed if possible.
"Your Majesty, there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 people here. They are all human, but they are loyal to Salonas."
McKen looked serious. If they were Soul Knights, he wouldn't mind killing them all, but facing this situation, he didn't know what to do.
Roning frowned and looked ahead. Yes, although the strength of these guys varied, they were all human beings.
He couldn't help but look at Elrond: "Are they under mind control? Is there any way to remove it?"
Elrond shook his head. "From what I can see, there shouldn't be anyone controlling them."
"They are just purely brainwashed."
Sophia, who rushed over from another battlefield, came to Roning and looked at the other group of people with a look of pity in her eyes.
"Their parents, their parents' parents, and even many generations back, all lived here and were enslaved by Salonas, and raised like pets and livestock."
"Although they look like humans, they have been branded as 'Wu Soul Slaves' since birth. They are proud to serve the Wu Soul Clan, and they regard 'sacrificing their lives for the Wu Soul Clan' as the highest honor!"
Luo Ning frowned.
This innate sense of obedience is almost impossible to reverse.
In other words, the group of people in front of us only look like humans, and are essentially no different from aliens.
"Is there any way to baptize them and restore their human identity?" Luo Ning asked.
The number of these people is really too large. It would be best if they could be educated.
But faced with this question, Sophia still shook her head.
"We've done this before, hundreds of years ago."
She said: "During that war, we rescued hundreds of 'compatriots', brought them to towns to recuperate, and taught them how to integrate into a new life, but in the end we got betrayal!"
"That betrayal caused us to lose a town, and hundreds of thousands of people became slaves of the Wuhun Clan. They lost their freedom and fell into an endless abyss. No one came out until they all died!"
She looked at Ronin and said, "Although it may be a little cruel, killing them all is the best way to redeem them." (End of this chapter)
