Unlike Liu Nian's situation, the situation on the other side was rather dire.
Several corpses were scattered on the ground at the stairwell, both human and green-skinned, with humans making up the majority.
Liu Nian walked up the stairwell, which was littered with severed limbs. The steps of the corridor were soaked in blood, and the entire stairwell reeked of blood, making it hard to breathe.
"Could they have already stormed the third floor?" Liu Nian wondered to herself.
The ravens at the gate aren't giving any warnings, so don't scare yourself unnecessarily.
After entering the second-floor corridor, the orcs who hadn't managed to squeeze onto the second-floor corridor smelled Liu Nian's scent behind them and called to their companions to go downstairs together.
Before they could even get close to Liu Nian, a vast horde of skeleton warriors behind him began to surround them.
Fortunately, the orcs were held back in the second-floor corridor.
There are still human guards at the entrance to the third-floor stairwell, putting up a stubborn resistance.
Now Liu Nian attacks from behind, flanking the orcs from both sides.
Oops, I misspoke, it's a three-pronged attack.
Liu Nian looked up at the sky, where vampires and ghosts floated in the passageway, attacking the orcs from above.
The second floor has been breached by orcs. I wonder if the people in the rooms on the second floor are alright.
The passageway was filled with the corpses of Liu Nian's skeleton archers, all of them broken into pieces.
With the battlefield right before him, Liu Nian had no time to think things through.
With a formidable enemy at hand, killing them is our priority!
Amplify Damage is a group curse, so it's prioritized for use on groups of orcs. The reduced defense is somewhat effective against those guards, allowing them to better penetrate the tough skin of the green-skinned creatures.
On the third floor, a few goblin knights remained at the stairwell, fighting the guards in front of them. On the second floor, Iron Fist's remaining troops clashed with Liu Nian's undead army.
From the situation, the entire Greenskins were surrounded in the corridors on the second and third floors.
Someone spotted Liu Nian and exclaimed in surprise.
Those who first spotted Liu Nian realized this and began shouting the news that Liu Nian had come to their aid.
Upon hearing his exclamation, the crowd erupted in excitement, knowing that Liu Nian's arrival meant the threat on the other side had been eliminated.
The person guarding the third-floor corridor suddenly felt full of energy, and Liu Nian's slogans echoed throughout the entire building.
Unable to understand why there was such a commotion upstairs, Liu Nian's expression was very serious, unlike the others who were encouraged.
The orc directly opposite him was the elite unit called Ironfist. Unlike the berserker from before, its eyes were more aggressive, and its blood-soaked body made it look like a demon crawling out of hell.
Having witnessed the terror of the orc berserkers, Liu Nian cautiously mingled behind the zombies.
Facing the orcs opposite him, Liu Nian felt that his summoned creatures were not strong enough in defense; this was the first time Liu Nian had this feeling.
In any case, let's weaken your strength first.
As a mage, Liu Nian's side had the upper hand, with Tiffany's poison magic and Liu Nian's fear magic being released on Iron Fist at the same time.
One success, one failure: Tiffany succeeded, Liu Nian failed, and Iron Fist was immune to fear.
After being poisoned, Iron Fist finally moved. It took a deep breath and then roared.
War Roar skill activated.
[Player Liu Nian is affected by War Roar, currently being assessed]
[Judgment effect activated, War Roar level decreased]
[During the detection of player Liu Nian's sanity value, it was determined that player Liu Nian's sanity value is higher than the opponent's intelligence value; War Cry is nullified.]
It was worth the time I sneaked in a bowl of stir-fried seaweed with vinegar on the way here; the result was indeed a successful diagnosis.
Liu Nian's face lit up with joy.
However, the irony came quickly, and the people upstairs were not affected by the war roar.
The intelligence of orcs is hard to describe!
However, it wasn't entirely ineffective; the remaining orcs and goblin knights, inspired by the War Cry, gained a morale-boosting buff.
Morale boosted: Attack power increased by 10%, attribute values increased by 10%.
This buff doesn't affect humans much, but it's terrifying for orcs.
Iron Fist and his remaining forces, one slash at a time, took down a skeleton warrior, cutting straight towards Liu Nian with unstoppable momentum.
The skeleton warriors in front of me were as fragile as paper; I could shatter them one by one with a single strike without any difficulty.
The speed at which the skeleton warriors behind Liu Nian were sent to their deaths couldn't keep up with the speed of Iron Fist's slaughter.
The skeleton warriors were no good, so the zombies kept pushing forward.
It still had no effect; it was another case of swift, clean cut.
I let you in and out seven times, don't I have any dignity?
Liu Nian had no choice but to recall the vampire and fight it out by attrition.
The three vampires arrived as promised. The vampire on the left landed slightly off-target, in Iron Fist's inevitable path.
The female vampire had barely steadied herself when she was struck by Iron Fist's blade before she could even launch an attack.
A rusty broadsword slashed the female vampire in the waist.
Finally, a summoned creature could survive a single blow. Before Liu Nian could even rejoice, his second strike hit the same spot, and the female vampire let out a wail before collapsing to the ground.
Seeing this, Lilith entangled herself around the iron fist, using her agile movements to circle around it.
The male vampire didn't join the fight; instead, he grabbed the female vampire by the neck and bit her.
A miraculous scene unfolded: the female vampire groaned and slowly awoke, her severed limbs then reattached themselves.
While they were reviving their companions, the orcs nearby tried to take the opportunity to attack.
Do you think you can succeed?
Liu Nian quickly directed the remaining skeleton warriors to advance and intercept them.
Upon seeing their companion resurrected, the vampires transformed into bats and pounced on the other orc youths.
The orc youth lacked Iron Fist's combat experience, while the vampire could slowly replenish his depleted health by absorbing life force.
Liu Nian commanded the ghoul legion to counter-encircle the orc youth, while the skeleton warriors surrounded Iron Fist.
Iron Fist possessed immense strength, but he couldn't land a hit on the agile Lilith.
Lilith walked it like a dog, playing with it until it was completely out of control.
Seeing this, he and Tiffany beat the dog when it was down.
Both cast spells to weaken Ironfist, spamming Amplify Damage, Slow, Fatigue, and Disintegrate Rays onto him like they were free.
"I'll take you down with one strike!" Liu Nian's bone spear struck Iron Fist, dealing over twenty points of damage.
It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting!
Stare?
You're not convinced? Come and hit me, you idiot!
The angrier you get, the happier I am.
Ironfist was furious, but his mind visibly slowed down as the ghoul legion joined in beating him after defeating the orc youth.
Unable to bear such an insulting fist, he slashed away the summoned creature beside him with a single blow, then lunged towards Liu Nian with a powerful leap.
This short, stout guy made me lose face completely; even if I'm going to die, I'll drag him down with me.
With this in mind, Iron Fist increased his speed even further, surpassing even Lilith's ability to keep up.
After slaying two zombies, Liu Nian was left wide open.
A perfect opportunity! Iron Fist swung his knife and aimed straight at Liu Nian's forehead.
The sound of something cutting through the air showed just how powerful the attack was.
