"Get lost!" A mental wave emanated from the Skeleton King's soul fire. Alec couldn't understand the language, but he could understand the meaning.
Immediately afterwards, a huge bone shield rapidly condensed in the Skeleton King's right hand and stood in front of Alec.
"Bang!" Bone fragments flew everywhere, but the energy lightsaber failed to pierce the bone shield. Alec's mech was once again sent flying by the massive bone shield, but due to the grappling hook, it bounced back again. However, this time, what greeted him was the giant bone knife in the Skeleton King's hand.
"Bang!" The smart chip Akasha immediately controlled the mecha to raise the bone shield in her hand. However, this time the heavy metal shield could not completely withstand the Skeleton King's attack and was directly dented, causing the mecha's arm to deform slightly, but it was not a big problem.
"Release the grappling hook!" Alec immediately canceled the grappling hook's connection. This time, the entire mech was sent flying and could not be pulled back by the grappling hook. The tool originally used to restrain the Skeleton King almost became his own burial ground.
Following Alec, the remaining mechs also launched attacks on the Skeleton King, but with little effect and very little damage. However, each time they were attacked, the mechs suffered large-scale damage.
"Your mecha isn't aggressive enough!" Ye Chen said, frowning slightly as he looked at the fat man.
Neither firearms nor energy lightsabers could inflict significant damage on the Skeleton King. While this was largely due to the user's inability to fully utilize the weapons' capabilities, the objective factor of their low-end configuration could not be denied.
These weapons can only threaten seventh-tier demigods and cause some damage, but that doesn't mean they can cause fatal damage.
"This? There's nothing I can do. It's limited by the materials. These are all made from peak sixth-tier materials, and I even used some seventh-tier auxiliary materials. I can't make anything with higher-grade materials, not to mention the price!" the fat man said with a bitter face. He had really reached his limit to this extent.
Ye Chen nodded without saying much. Seventh-tier materials already possess their own consciousness, and it's not easy to melt and forge them. The fat man was indeed telling the truth. Reaching this level is already the limit of what he can do.
The battle in the starry sky continued. The nine mechs appeared brave, but in reality, they were being rubbed into the ground and could only rely on their sturdiness to hold on. Defeat was only a matter of time.
Compared to the fierce battle here, the situation on the lord's side is not much better. Although the undead creatures brought by the Skeleton King are of similar level to the Flame Bats, their actual combat strength is far inferior.
The Demon Flame Bats were forcibly modified and upgraded by dark energy, so they were no match for the proper mid-level dark creatures under the Skeleton King's command. They even lost their numerical advantage in the face of the swarm of skeletons.
The sheer number of dark undead creatures put considerable pressure on the new lords. Even Lin Zheping, who had already reached the fourth rank, could no longer be as imposing as before. Although Fenrir the wolf was powerful, its ability to attack multiple targets was somewhat weak, and it seemed somewhat powerless in the face of the vast sea of undead.
Ye Chen did not intervene in this matter. How could a war between planes be smooth sailing? There are usually many unfavorable situations, which is also a kind of training for them.
Therefore, Ye Chen only summoned the Fire Crows and the Witch Clan to cooperate with the soldiers of the Glorious Empire to resist the dark creatures. Although they could not reverse the flow, it was enough to resist them.
Various kinds of familiars surrounded the territories, fighting fiercely against the dark creatures. All the lords' faces were filled with solemnity. By now, some of the weaker combat lords had lost nearly a third of their familiars, a number that had crippled them.
But when everyone looked at the mechs in the sky that were being beaten to a pulp in the fight against the Skeleton King, they didn't know what to say. They could only grit their teeth and persevere.
Look at them, they are clearly outmatched, yet they are still fighting desperately. What reason do they have to give up?
"Speaking of which, can we activate the teleportation now and leave? There are just too many of these undead creatures, and they're too powerful. We can't hold them off!" Some girls who majored in support roles asked in the group chat, and they quickly gained the approval of many others. If they can't win, why not just run away? Why keep fighting here?
“That Skeleton King is a seventh-tier demigod. He can pull you out of space directly. Spatial teleportation? Want to try the feeling of being torn apart by the void?” Ye Chen replied coldly. This method might work for ordinary low-level dark creatures, but it would be very difficult for mid-level or higher creatures, let alone a seventh-tier demigod.
"Okay! But what do we do now? Wait for rescue?" the girl asked with a hint of worry.
"What are you waiting for? You actually want to leave after such a good opportunity for real combat?" Ye Chen said speechlessly. What are you all thinking?
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the remaining lords who still wanted to ask questions immediately fell silent and could only silently follow behind the other lords in battle. What the hell? Such a good opportunity for real combat, didn't they see that their clans had suffered heavy casualties?
Ye Chen saw this, and at the same time, he was adjusting the deployment of dark creatures. For those lords with weaker combat abilities, he tried to reduce the "oversight" of dark creatures and put the pressure on the powerful lords.
But to retreat? To escape? That was absolutely impossible!
"Don't worry, everyone. These dark creatures are nothing in the interdimensional war. Our Brother Chen can even kill dark gods. He hasn't even really shown his strength yet. He just wants to give you more opportunities to hone your skills. You must cherish them!" The fat man who often mentored newcomers comforted them. He knew better than Ye Chen how to motivate these newcomers.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They weren't afraid of the dark creatures, but rather worried about perishing here. Now that Ye Chen had their backs, what did they have to fear? Even if their entire clan was wiped out, surely the big boss could find a way to bring them back?
"Boss is awesome! What are you all cowards for? We're all in the same faction now, would the boss betray us? Show your fighting power, don't cower in the back like women!" Lin Zheping said immediately, while commanding Fenrir to charge out again.
"Who are you calling a woman? Are you looking down on us or something?" The words had barely left his lips when a female voice rang out in the group chat, instantly igniting a frenzy among the members. Lin Zheping shrank back, knowing he couldn't afford to offend her...
