Chapter 480: 478: A Lost Dog (6400+ chapters)
When the battle on the ground broke out, a group of natural disasters in the sky finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Above the fierce gale, a group of fourth-level warriors stood quietly, shining with various fighting spirits and magical lights, like warriors of gods, in a confrontation posture.
Various auras, some mysterious, some violent, some domineering, and some heavy, intertwined, the invisible spiritual competition seemed to distort the space.
No one knew who made the first move, but a dark fighting spirit swept across the void, slicing through the sky, only to be blocked by another fighting spirit.
Thus, the battle between the powerful natural disasters began!
Natural disasters have never been easy to come by. The resources consumed by natural disaster masters in their annual training are an extremely exaggerated number.
With the productivity of the marquisate under the feudal kingdom system, there are only two or three fourth-level natural disasters that can be supported.
Taking the Duchy of Normandy as an example, the Marquis of Castro is good at management and trade, and the Marquis of McKinley has a wide network of contacts, and each of them has three natural disasters under his command.
But the Carlisle family is notoriously weak. If we don’t count the support from the main family, they only support two people.
The peak state was the former Flower Territory. When Count Karl was in power, he supported five natural disasters through maritime trade. This was also the limit under good financial conditions.
Of course, there are also cases of poor financial conditions, and the Floyd family is the best example.
No one knew how many powerful natural disasters there were in their family, but it was also a fact that they were notoriously poor.
As for the Flower Territory today, it supports more than ten powerful natural disasters and a legendary red dragon. This is the result of the productivity explosion brought about by the magic industry.
It cannot be calculated by common sense!
To sum up, there are currently a total of eight powerful natural disasters that the three marquises can provide.
Of course, there were not just eight people present, but eleven.
In order to supplement their "family income", many powerful natural disasters accept employment, especially some dark natural disasters that are not allowed to see the light of day.
Their cultivation methods involve the abyss, hell, underworld, and darkness, and they are unpopular.
Few nobles were willing to support them, and they were also afraid of backlash.
This is a two-way choice, so on some large mercenary platforms, there are powerful natural disasters who accept tasks all year round.
This time, the strong men hired by the three marquises were in a similar situation.
For example, one of them is the most orthodox abyss summoner. He is not the consumable demon mage, but one who has been trained through formal training.
They often sign contracts with certain lords of the abyss, and in return, gain the qualification to summon powerful demons under the lord to fight for them.
The advantage of doing this is that there is no need to prepare sacrifices all the time, and the chance of backlash will be greatly reduced.
There is a demon lord above them to suppress them. If these summoned demons dare to rebel, the demon lord will eat them without the need for the summoner to suppress them.
The disadvantages are also obvious. These abyss summoners have to face more terrifying existences, and they themselves are the prey of the demon lords.
For the demon lords, the souls of ordinary people are no longer useful. What they need are the souls of the strong.
As for their long lives, they don't mind spending dozens or even hundreds of years playing a development game.
As for the souls harvested at the end, whether they are swallowed directly and used for cultivation, or thrown into the demon pool and transformed into powerful demon subordinates, it depends on their mood.
In fact, the reason why Abyss Summoners are considered an orthodox method of cultivation is because they have a certain chance of transforming into powerful and autonomous demon species.
From the perspective of leaving the main material plane, stepping onto a broader stage, and having a longer life, theirs can be regarded as a "narrow path" of cultivation.
Everyone knows that legend is the right path, but how many people can reach the top of this path?
At this time, the Abyss Summoner used the sacrificial array prepared earlier to summon a many-eyed tyrant.
It was a ball-shaped eye demon with more than ten tentacles extending out, and each tentacle had countless eyes.
Those evil eyes can emit strange rays in the blink of an eye.
Some can control the mind, while others add various negative effects, such as weakness, blindness, blood drain, frenzy, sluggishness, etc.
It can be said that he is the best auxiliary unit, no doubt about it.
However, what if you think his strength in frontal combat is weak?
That would be totally wrong.
Because, along with him came many demon slaves who were controlled by him.
A team of mages consisting of twelve fire demons formed a long-range attack unit. The abyss fire they ignited was enough to force most of the powerful Scourge to retreat.
Three burly demons, fully armed with maces, became the strongest shield.
There is also a highly decayed dragon corpse, which can be considered a flying unit.
With this combination, if a natural disaster occurs, it will be too late to avoid it.
In fact, just by looking at the many-eyed tyrant, one can tell that the one who signed the contract with this abyss summoner is the ruler of the Ten Thousand Eyes Kingdom on the sixth layer of the Abyss, the Great Mistress worshipped by the Eye Demons.
To be honest, any powerful natural disaster warrior would be scratching his scalp if he encountered this combination.
It’s really hard to beat!
On the Flower Territory side, the one dispatched was the ice and snow hunter Jude Stephens.
This demon hunter was born to hunt demons, and this battle was a match made in heaven for his profession.
The second person hired by the three marquises was also an abyss practitioner.
He is not a wizard, but he communicates with the King of the Abyss through magic circles, uses the power of the King of the Abyss as a bridge, contains the power of the abyss, and practices.
This is similar to Luo Yi's practice of using the divine power of heaven to cultivate.
The difference is that Loy uses the Angel Ring as a medium, while he borrows the power of the Frost Giant Prince Kostchech.
The 23rd layer of the Abyss is an extremely cold plain with ice miles deep and no human habitation.
The distant sun appears dimmer than the moon in the material world.
This is the frozen wilderness, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the Frost Giants. Frost Giant mages and demons built glacier castles here and serve the great demon lord, Frost Giant Prince Kostch.
This natural disaster also cultivated fighting spirit, and the freezing fighting spirit seemed to be able to freeze even the soul.
But his most powerful ability is actually the transformation into a frost giant, which is a spell-like ability that allows him to transform into a four-meter-tall frost giant.
In a sense, this person is equivalent to a scourge warrior who has practiced holy skills, and his combat power is naturally quite good.
The one facing him was the half-giant Bane.
Bane was also excited to see the prey, and rushed up without hesitation. While he was in the air, his body size also changed, rising to four meters.
The sacred skill of [Giant Soul] is not fake. The fact that Bane was able to master it in such a short time also shows his qualifications.
When the two men fought, it felt like mountains colliding. With every punch and kick, the sky shook and the earth trembled, and the roar continued.
The last person invited by the three marquises was also no ordinary person. He was a fallen paladin.
Only the most devout knights can awaken the sacred fighting spirit and become a paladin.
This is the declaration of the Church of the Sun God, which represents not only glory, but also unique power and a firm belief like that of a fanatic.
However, knights with such firm beliefs are actually the favorite prey of demons. The purity of their souls is enough to make demon lords happy.
It would be a waste to eat it. If you sacrifice it to the will of the abyss, you will definitely receive the greatest reward.
Therefore, demons love to lure paladins into corruption!
Of course, this is not easy, because it means that they begin to doubt from the bottom of their hearts the path they are taking, the actions of the Holy See, and the justice of the Lord of Light.
Only with real doubt will they sink, give up their faith, and transform the powerful sacred power into the purest dark fighting spirit.
However, no matter how entangled their minds were, no matter how powerful these Paladins were, when they fell, they became ten times more powerful.
These confused knights, riding nightmare warhorses, are monsters who truly dare to bravely venture into the abyss and fight for life and death with the demon lords with their swords.
Even within his own camp, he stood there alone, while other powerful natural disasters stayed far away, as if they were afraid of being contaminated by bad luck.
The one who fought with him was undoubtedly Silas, the King of Fury.
There is no way. For this man who loves to challenge the strong, there is no one more suitable than this Fallen Paladin.
It should be said that the powerful natural disasters who can make a living as mercenaries are all very capable.
Although these three are not up to the mark and have to be on guard against being hunted by the Holy See at all times, their combat power is obviously one or even several levels higher than others.
As for the powerful natural disasters supported by the three marquises, there are not many who are outstanding.
Even the pale knight of the Carlisle family now seemed to be of mediocre strength, even inferior to his mount.
That magma dragon is more eye-catching.
As for the Mage Timo of the Five Fireball Followers, he was beaten into autism by Ms. Palacios.
Although Ms. Palacios is best at making potions and is slightly weaker in combat, the strength of a magician depends more on financial resources.
Ms. Palacios is now a wealthy person, so she is naturally more willing to spend money on herself.
Various amplification props, magic scrolls, and rare potions were all equipped. Once the fight started, magic scrolls were thrown in piles, which scared the magician Timo so much that his hands, which were rubbing fireballs, almost left afterimages.
Of course, among this group of people, there is still a natural disaster with considerable strength.
He was a rare battle mage from the McKinley family, young and full of energy.
He didn't know a lot of magic, and he only specialized in a few types, but he had obviously absorbed some of the ideas of Azuth, the god of mages in the Church of the Seven Gods. He was good at metamagic, instant spell casting, and elemental rebound.
His elemental rebound skill can rebound attacks composed of elements, including Dou Qi Slash.
The instantaneous casting of spells ensures that this elemental rebound can be used in an instant.
As a wizard, he dared to engage in close combat with the knight despite having six layers of magic shields.
He also has a good swordsmanship, and he uses magic power to gather sword light and blade, which is quite threatening.
His original opponent was Benito Floyd, the scourge from the Floyd family, who originally wanted to show off.
But after a few hits, he was beaten and ran away in panic. If he didn't have enough alchemical items in his hands, he would have been injured.
The Flame Sword Saint Otto was close by, and his fire fighting spirit exploded, forcing his opponent to retreat and taking over Benito Floyd's position.
He had been very close to Benito Floyd recently, and he was counting on this great alchemist to forge better weapons for him, so of course he had to be more proactive.
Unfortunately, Otto also suffered a great loss due to the element rebound of the battle mage. In the end, the two of them actually started a swordsmanship competition.
As the Sword Saint, Otto was not afraid of sword fighting competitions, but the problem was that the opponent would throw spells at him from time to time, and his fire fighting spirit was useless, so he cried out in anger.
Then, just as Oliveira was about to step forward to take over, the faceless killer Ulysses rushed forward first.
This person's hiding and movement were without a trace, and only when he attacked did the fluctuations of his fighting spirit appear.
With just two strikes of the sword, he broke through two layers of magic defense shields, which frightened the battle mage so much that he let go of Otto and focused on dealing with Ulysses.
Unfortunately, at this time, his weakness of having little knowledge of magic was revealed. The detection spells he knew were not very advanced. After failing to find Ulysses' position, he could only defend and counterattack.
In general, both sides fought fiercely and restrainedly in this battle!
It is said to be intense because everyone used their real skills and demonstrated their respective strengths.
Especially on the side of Xianhualing, the six newly recruited powerful natural disasters worked very hard and wanted to show themselves.
The reason for restraint is that everyone abided by the rules of the noble war.
It's a one-on-one competition with no siege; it also tries to minimize the impact on the ground battlefield.
Although there were cases where the fighting spirit was slashed or magic was deflected and hit the ground, it was not intentional.
Their battle caused the sky within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and all kinds of earth, fire, wind and water to surge endlessly.
Sometimes the light shines brightly, sometimes it is shrouded in darkness. The space trembles endlessly under the collision, and the sounds of various collisions roar incessantly, like thunder in broad daylight, continuous and imperceptible.
But it’s just fun to watch, not many people are really fighting hard!
In fact, this is the norm in wars involving natural disasters. There is no absolute conflict of interest, and everyone is relatively conservative.
However, even so, the situation gradually became clear.
The Flower Leader side has the advantage, and this advantage is still growing.
The reason is simple. The powerful natural disasters under Luo Yi's command were either selected by him personally, or he gave them guidance and benefits.
Take the secret holy skills for example, there are several people who have practiced them. The Iron Knight Phil and the Flame Sword Saint Otto both started with [Divine Sigh].
The half-giant Bane has even practiced the giant-human combat skills that are most suitable for him.
Although there are some rogues, the mechanical monster Nehemiah von Braun and the great alchemist Benito Freud are really not good at fighting, but they are much better than the three marquises.
If the three hired natural disasters had not been there to support them, the three marquises would have been defeated long ago.
I don’t know what treasures the three marquises promised to make them work so hard?
But even so, the Scourge battlefield showed a clear decline, shrinking step by step from north to south towards the Moonlight Castle.
As for Luo Yi, he did not join the battle immediately!
On the one hand, he wanted to command the ground battlefield, and on the other hand, he wanted to see the strength of the powerful natural disasters under his command and give them a chance to show their abilities.
Of course, if we talk about the speed of defeat, it was the ground battlefield.
When the artillery began to show its power, the outcome was already decided. What followed was just a matter of continuously expanding the results of the battle.
The few powerful knights who could withstand the bombardment became sitting ducks under the crossfire of heavy machine guns and the precise shooting of sniper rifles.
At this time, the cruelty of magical weapons also appeared. There was still a chance of escape when fighting with cold weapons, but it was difficult to leave a complete body when fighting with hot weapons.
Of the 60,000 troops, 30,000 were killed in the battle, and the rest were completely defeated and fled for their lives.
Now is the time to expand the results of the battle.
The Guards were organized into squads, carrying heavy machine guns or semi-automatic rifles with bayonets, and gave pursuit.
At this time, killing is secondary. What is important is the captives. Living young and strong people are always more valuable than private individuals.
Most of the defeated soldiers were also in a panic and chose to surrender when their guns were pointed at them.
Of course, there are always those who escape.
Under the danger of death, his potential was stimulated, which made even the well-trained guards unable to catch up and marvel at him.
They fled all the way back, and finally returned to the Moonlight Castle in a sparse group.
In the castle, the three marquises looked grim, but they still opened the city gate and gathered the defeated soldiers.
The guards at the front tried to charge. Led by Tanya, they used heavy machine guns to clear the way and bombed with grenades, hoping to seize the opportunity to seize the city gate.
Once the city gate is broken, the Moonlight Castle will be impossible to defend.
However, although the idea was good and the action was decisive, the three marquises sent out the last of their forces for the sake of their own lives.
Even though the crossfire of the heavy machine guns was quite fierce, the female Tyrannosaurus Tanya was ready to break through the powerful existence of the fourth level,
But under the attack of four extraordinary knights and the cover of two third-level mages, they were unable to stand their ground.
Most importantly, they rushed too fast and the subsequent reinforcements did not catch up, resulting in a situation where they were fighting alone.
Finally, Roy gave the order for Tanya to retreat.
Of course, although they were retreating, they were also providing alternating cover and setting up multi-layer barrier nets to minimize casualties.
At this time, the three marquises no longer dared to gather the defeated soldiers. Instead, they closed the gate and allowed the Royal Guards of Flower Lord to capture prisoners outside.
At this time, even if Luo Yi was reluctant, he had to arrange a transport brigade to pull the field artillery over and rearrange the artillery positions.
At the same time, they dealt with the defeated soldiers, reorganized the army, and planned to attack the city again.
Although they won the battle, Luo Yi was still a little dissatisfied because they failed to capture the Moonlight Castle in one fell swoop.
He raised his head and looked at the fight in the sky, and he became more and more annoyed.
So, after just a second of thought, the golden and red fighting spirit around him exploded, transforming into a blazing holy flame, and a pair of real angel wings spread out behind him.
With a flap of his wings, smoke and dust scattered, and he disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already above the battlefield of natural disasters.
Squinting his eyes slightly and looking around, he could see the entire battlefield clearly.
The one who worked the hardest was undoubtedly Silas, the King of Fury. Facing the fallen paladin, he exerted his strength to the extreme.
The triple frenzy surprised the Fallen Paladin, but it was just a surprise, and he handled it quite easily.
The least hardworking one is the faceless killer Ulysses. He is an assassin and his job is to kill with one blow.
In this obviously restrained battlefield, he cannot kill and can only play a supporting role.
But the person that Roy couldn't understand the most was the ice and snow hunter Jude Stephens.
In his battle with the Many-eyed Tyrant, he seemed to be lagging behind, perhaps because he was restrained or for some other reason.
Oliveira and the Iron Knights also need occasional support.
But as far as Luo Yi knew, his fighting ability should not be so weak.
However, at this moment he said nothing, but his aura was rising, like a rising sun, shining with extreme brilliance, dazzling all around.
"If you lose, you lose. I don't want to kill anyone. Get out of here!"
His voice was like thunder, causing ripples between heaven and earth, yet it was calm, as if he was stating a fact.
After he gave the order, the natural disasters on the Flower Territory's side immediately retreated without any hesitation.
The coalition forces of the three marquises did not persist and chose to retreat silently.
But at this moment, there was still a prominent piece under the sky, and the fighting was still going on.
That was the demon army controlled by the Many-Eyed Tyrant, and they were harassing the ice hunter Jude Stephens, as if they were determined to fight to the death.
When he saw Luo Yi speak, he even waved his tentacles and shot out several rays emitting a corrupt smell, which was obviously not a good intention.
However, the corrupt ray was vaporized by the holy light before it got close.
Looking at the Abyss Summoner again, he was sweating profusely and his face was pale. Obviously, saying that there was less backlash did not mean that he was completely immune.
After all, for chaotic creatures like demons, it is enough to have fun today and the future does not matter.
But this actually made Luo Yi laugh. He was so angry that he had no place to vent it, and then someone bumped into him.
Without wasting any words, he raised his hand, pointed at the Many-Eyed Tyrant, and made a shooting gesture.
His action attracted many people's attention. They all thought he was going to use some powerful fighting skills to attack, but nothing happened.
However, just when everyone was confused, a holy light fell from the sky and hit the head of the multi-eyed tyrant directly.
With him as the center, it quickly expanded outward, covering the Fire Demon Squad, the Strong Demon, and even the Corrupted Bone Dragon and the Abyss Summoner.
Then, all the natural disasters had their pupils shrunken as they saw the shocking scene.
Under the holy light, the howling sounds seemed to have substance, especially the violent mental fluctuations of the Eye Demon, which even formed a shock wave that spread in all directions.
But under the holy light, all of this was dissolved, including their abyssal power, demonic bodies and twisted souls.
Everything seemed to turn into black smoke in the holy light and was completely purified.
This is the Holy See’s signature method, divine judgment!
In just a few dozen breaths, this powerful demon squad, and the multi-eyed tyrant that made the demon hunters helpless, died!
At this moment, the whole place was dead silent.
Luo Yi looked around again, then looked at the fallen paladin and said, "I told you guys to get out of here. Any objections?"
The fallen paladin was a middle-aged man, wearing old knight armor, sitting on a nightmare warhorse, his eyes filled with fatigue and vicissitudes.
Under Loy's gaze, the Nightmare Horse felt very uneasy. He reached out and stroked the horse's back, but due to his powerful strength, he was not scared by Loy.
"Count Loy, I admit that you are very strong..."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Yi raised his hand and grasped the air. Suddenly, a golden-red fireball appeared, emitting scorching heat and a terrifying and dangerous aura.
In fact, as he spoke, the golden-red fireball became more intense, and the dangerous aura rose sharply, so dangerous that it could destroy him.
"You are very strong, so if you tell us to leave, then of course we will leave."
Having said that, he rode back, turned around, and left without hesitation.
At first, he seemed somewhat calm, but then the nightmare horse spread out its hooves and disappeared into the sky like the wind.
This scene stunned all the natural disasters. Then, all the natural disasters under the command of the three marquises turned around and used various methods to fly away.
The battle mage even tore open a precious teleportation scroll and disappeared in a flash.
At this moment, a group of powerful natural disaster warriors under Luo Yi's command could no longer bear it.
"They fled like a bunch of lost dogs!"
The Flame Sword Saint Otto spoke, and then everyone burst into laughter, the laughter piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks, without any restraint.
At this moment, Luo Yi slowly retracted the fireball in his hand. Although his expression remained calm, a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
